Feng jumped off the warship holding the bell, looked around, saw a figure wandering in the distance, jumped up quickly and waved:
"Mr. Annan, we are here!"
"Oh, you are here."
Annan patted his mouth, yawned, smiled and touched Feng and Ling's heads. "Let's go, I'll take you to report first."
"Maple, 16 years old, from Plant Island on the Grand Line."
At the recruit reporting office, the receptionist held an application form, adjusted the big glasses on the bridge of her nose with her hand, and looked at the two people in front of her.
"Ling, 16 years old, also comes from Plant Island on the Grand Line."
"Twins?" the receptionist asked.
"Yeah, yeah." Feng nodded.
"You are new recruits. According to regulations, you are required to undergo recruit training, but your boss applied for exemption from training." The staff looked at the record book and asked, "Your boss is... August Annan?"
"It's me." Annan walked in.
"You guys are about to get off work, haven't you finished registering yet?"
"You are that Annan! I have seen your photo in the newspaper before." The young lady excitedly stepped forward and shook Annan's hand, "You are much more handsome than in the newspaper."
"Aha, thank you." Annan's mouth twitched, "Have you finished handling my subordinate's matters?"
"It's done."
The receptionist was rummaging around on the table.
"This is the receipt, please accept it."
"Okay, thank you." Annan smiled slightly, took the receipt, turned back to Feng and Ling and said:
"Stop being stunned and let's go."
When we came out of the recruit reporting office, it was already noon.
Considering that the three of them had not eaten yet, Annan took Feng and Ling to a restaurant in a residential area and ordered a large table of food.
"Where did Mr. Esdeath go?" Feng asked while stuffing chicken legs into his mouth.
"She is busy now."
Annan filled his glass with drink.
Just after Annan finished writing the report last night, Esdeath received a call from Kizaru.
As we all know, as a general of the Navy, if it is not a very urgent matter, he will not make calls during non-working hours, so calling in the middle of the night must be an urgent matter.
Sure enough, before Kizaru could say a few words, Esdeath's face turned dark.
"Old man, haven't you approved any of the documents you have accumulated this year?" Esdeath twitched the corner of her mouth.
"Well, that's not entirely true~ I have read the more important documents in person." Phone Bug said with a sly look.
"Personally? Have a look at it? Isn't this the job you should do?" Esdeath yelled at the phone bug.
"Are you kidding me? Important documents are just for viewing, not sorted out and approved, right?"
"Oh~ I actually heard it right away. Young people today are so scary," the phone bug said with a surprised look on his face.
Esdeath said angrily: "Don't be so exaggerated, old man."
"It was Tosakaski who helped before, but recently the 'strongest creature' went crazy again, and he doesn't have time now." Phone Bug said.
"Originally, I didn't want to embarrass my lovely subordinates, but at the end of the year, everyone is very busy."
"After much thought, you are the only one who is free, so I don't have to worry about you organizing the files. I'll just work hard for Esdeath-chan to complete this arduous task."
The phone bug said to Esdeath with a kind face.
"Okay..." Esdeath sighed, leaned on the chair and said listlessly, looking at Annan with malicious eyes.
"Don't look at me." Annan sat on the desk and turned his pen.
"I cannot participate in a mission of this level without permission."
"Yes, although I have a good relationship with Sakaski, and it's not impossible for Annan to come and help, other people will still have objections," said the phone bug.
"Okay, okay, if I don't want your help, I'll hang up first." Esdeath hung up the phone and glanced at Annan.
"Okay, I'll go to bed first." Esdeath stood up and left the study, "You should go to bed early too."
Annan couldn't help but laugh at the thought of her having to organize the files of the entire Kizaru unit.
Haha, God's way is so reincarnated. I asked you to push the report to me. Now you can't hide even if you want to.
"What are you laughing at?" A familiar and cold voice came from behind.
"No, I'm not laughing at anything."
Annan put away his smile, but when he saw Esdeath's depressed expression, he couldn't help but laugh again.
Esdeath sat on the seat next to Annan, and Annan pushed the drink in front of her.
"Thanks, I've been busy all morning and didn't even have time to drink a sip of water."
After saying that, Esdeath raised her head and drank the drink.
"How's it going? Are you done?" Annan gave Esdeath a chicken leg.
"There's still half of it, I should be able to finish it today." Esdeath said quietly.
"The old man basically hasn't approved any documents this year."
He took a bite of the chicken leg and continued:
"No, when this task is completed, we will leave the headquarters immediately. It is too tiring to review and approve documents."
"I have already applied for the warship. It can be commissioned and set off tomorrow," Annan said.
"Feng raised his hand and said: "Where are we going?"
"The East China Sea." Esdeath said, "The original plan was to go to the East China Sea, but we ended up going back to the headquarters after going round and round. This time we went directly across the windless zone, the capital of the Seven Waters of Shampoo. Let's go there later.
”
"Then can you go to my hometown Plant Island first? Ah ah ah, I know it's rude to ask like this." Feng said hurriedly, "But the village chief said that if Ling and I find a good place,
, you must go back and see him..."
Feng's voice became smaller and smaller until he couldn't hear it at all.
"Okay." Esdeath said, "Where is that island?"
"Really! Plant Island is right on the edge of the windless zone near the East China Sea. I don't remember exactly where it is. It seems to be close to the Devil's Triangle, but Ling knows!" Feng said proudly.
Ling sipped the soup in small sips and nodded.
"I carry a permanent pointer to Plant Island."
"Then let's go to your hometown first. We happen to pass by the Devil's Triangle." The corner of Esdeath's mouth raised. "It is said that hundreds of ships disappear in the Devil's Triangle every year. I really want to find out."
"Are these Major Annan and Major Esdeath?"
A navy man with green hair and sunglasses ran in and said to Annan and Esdeath.
"Yeah, what's the matter?" Annan said.
The navy saluted and said: "Hello, I am Brannew. Marshal Warring States wants you to go to his office."
Marshal's Office.
Annan and Esdeath sat on the sofa under the Absolute Justice plaque.
Esdeath carelessly teased the little goat beside her.
Annan stared at the seagulls above Warring States Period.
"Real? False?"
There is no reason for the Warring States Marshal sitting behind the desk.
"Haha, Warring States, you were left out in the cold by two newcomers to the headquarters." Garp laughed at the side.
"Shut up, Garp! Aren't you the same!" Warring States yelled at him, then cleared his throat and said to Annan and the others:
"There is a special task, and you two are now selected as the executors. Do you have any opinions?"
"No."
"No."
Annan and Esdeath said.
"No?"
Warring States, who had considered all possible opinions of Annan and his wife, was a little dumbfounded.
"Ah, then yes." Esdeath touched her chin and started thinking, "Let me think about it, I ask to act together with Annan."
"Since you said so, then I will ask to act together with Esdeath." Annan said.
