"But don't be too happy too early. The right to move freely does not make you lazy." Akainu also lit a cigar.
"Since the beginning of the Great Pirate Era, the Navy has had constant internal problems. It looks glamorous in the newspapers, but it is just a superficial job for the World Government to maintain face."
"Some naval forces have abandoned the justice they once believed in and chose to collude with evil."
"The headquarters can handle the problems discovered by the Great Line in a timely manner, but Sihai..."
“Sometimes it’s just beyond our reach.”
There were sparks on Akainu's clenched fists, and the smoke from his cigar obscured his face, making his expression blurry.
"One day I will expel all the scum out of the navy."
Annan raised his eyes and looked at Akainu's fist, which did not fall on the desk.
It seems that when you are a general, you still can’t burn tables casually.
Akainu took out a file from the drawer on the left.
Annan took the file and opened it, frowning slightly.
"What's wrong?" Akainu saw that Annan's expression was wrong.
"It's nothing. He has a sinister look on his face. He is not a good person at first glance."
"Don't just look at a person's appearance, the key is whether he has a righteous heart."
"I know that there is a navy man named T. Penn. Although he looks ugly, he has a righteous heart."
"Go back and apply for a warship. You are from the South China Sea. Don't go back to the South China Sea. Go to the East China Sea first."
"By the way, investigate this naval colonel named Mouse. There have been the most reports about him recently."
"I know this is overkill for you. Twenty-one years have passed since the great pirate era, and the sea has also formed an alternative balance."
"The people in the World Government are not willing to let the navy take the lead in breaking the balance, otherwise I will send you to the new world to train."
"You are in Sihai, so promotion is still too slow."
"If you were under me, you would at least be a major general now."
Uh-huh, huh?
Annan was stunned.
How old am I? You want me to go to the New World to face the Four Emperors and help me get promoted? You really don’t treat me like an outsider.
Akainu opened the right drawer and took out a phone bug.
"This is your exclusive phone number. If you need anything, please contact me. This is my phone number."
Annan took the phone bug and put it on his hand directly.
"Okay, boss, I understand. I won't disturb you anymore. Let's go."
After saying that, he stood up and left, walking three times faster than when he came.
"Mengka from Branch 153?" At the same time, Esdeath asked.
"Do you think the mission is too easy?" Kizaru still had that kind smile.
"That's not true. I just want to go to the East China Sea." Esdeath replied.
"That's good. Whenever you want to be promoted, just tell me and I will assign you a task."
"Old man, you're too polite." Esdeath said with a smile, "There's no rush. I still want to rise up little by little on my own."
"Okay, as my subordinate, I will not interfere in this aspect."
Esdeath puts on the phone bug that Kizaru gave her.
"Then I'm leaving, old man."
When I went out, I met Annan who was walking like flying and stopped him.
"Why are you like a mouse meeting a cat?" Esdeath asked.
"Don't mention it, if you don't leave." Annan stretched his head back, "I will be sent to the new world accidentally."
"Is there such a good thing?"
"Good thing? How about I give it to you?" Annan rolled his eyes at her, "It's better to go to the branches in the New World and squat in the South China Sea."
"That's right. Anyway, I have the right to move freely now. I can go wherever I want in the future," Esdeath said.
"What? You have one too?"
"Looking at your tone...you don't have it, right?" Esdeath said curiously.
Three days later, the headquarters port.
"Alas." Annan sighed, "Why do we need to go to the East China Sea in this way? Aren't our warships good?"
"Okay, stop complaining. Going on a warship is too boring. How can I do this better?" Esdeath glared at Annan.
"Besides, you agreed two days ago and you are not allowed to go back on your word now."
"How can you get someone drunk and then write a document?" Annan muttered in a low voice.
The corner of Esdeath's mouth raised, "You said you have a good drinker, but you're drunk after just three bottles of sherry."
"Making you sign the document is your punishment for lying." As he said that, Esdeath took out the note and shook it at Annan.
Two days ago, the two of them were at home at night.
"I finally understand. Your old man came to you just to save trouble. He said that I look like him. Now I finally understand. How can a big bastard lead a small bastard?"
Annan was holding a comic book with a resentful look on his face.
Esdeath swung her wine glass and did not deny it.
"Instead of complaining about what has happened, it is better to think about the future." Esdeath smiled and patted Annan on the shoulder.
Esdeath suggested that the two of them walk directly to the East China Sea on two legs without using a warship.
"We two new recruits in the headquarters should not put on airs and apply for warships. With our two positions, it will take at least a month for the superiors to send us warships. Are you willing to wait in the headquarters for such a long time?" Esdeath asked
.
"Wait." Annan said.
"Huh?"
"Why wait?"
Annan has a fairly good understanding of geography. The first half of the Great Route is called "Paradise". The sea areas on the north and south sides of the paradise are the South China Sea and the East China Sea. It can be reached quickly by crossing the windless zone with sea-floor stone warships.
"Go to the East China Sea. You are better than a green pheasant, and you are even riding a bicycle."
Esdeath's face fell.
"Is it time to become the head of the headquarters?"
"Hey, don't pressure me with this, I still don't agree with your proposal." Annan sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said to Esdeath in a stern voice.
"If you don't agree, just agree." Esdeath went to the kitchen and took out a box of wine.
"When we went out to eat before, didn't you say you could drink? Come on, have a drink with me."
"Two cups? You're looking down on me, I use a bottle."
Half an hour later.
Esdeath tilted her head and looked at Annan lying on the ground talking nonsense.
"That's it?"
Time returns to the present.
Annan and Esdeath put on skates.
"Let's set off like this?" Annan said weakly.
"Yes, that's it." Esdeath's face was filled with excitement.
"Isn't it a bit...too ostentatious?"
"It doesn't matter, skate faster and they won't be able to see you." Esdeath pulled Annan, "Have you brought the chart and pointer?"
"Bring it."
"Where's Bailey?"
"I also brought the money and expenses."
"Then let's set off!" Esdeath cheered, grabbing Annan with his right hand and jumping into the sea with him.
Before your toes touch the sea water, your footing becomes ice.
"Let's go to the Shampoo Islands first." Esdeath said.
"What are you doing there?"
"Just show me the way."
"Be careful, I can't save you if you slip into the sea."
