Chapter 93: Let’s take shelter from the limelight

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to trouble you with." Annan said to Smoker. "There is a criminal naval scientist on the Icefire Man. Admiral Kizaru asked us to hand him over to you and escort him to the headquarters.

."

"It turns out you were the ones escorting," Smoker said. "I received the order before you arrived, but the order was very simple, that is, I was asked to take in a naval scientist criminal."

"That's just right. I'll bring that person over later."

……

After the handover was completed, Annan suddenly felt that he had nothing to do. There were no short-term tasks, and long-term tasks could only be delayed for one day. His popularity in the East China Sea has not dropped yet. He is easily recognized when he goes out, but the investigation effect is not good.

So good.

Annan thought it would be better to stay at the base for a few days.

A week passed like this.

There are new things happening on the sea every day, and the news about Annan, the rising star of the navy, is quickly overshadowed by other events.

"Hey, you guy, Esdeath has caught a lot of pirates these days. As her partner, instead of helping her, you are here basking in the sun."

Smoker chewed his cigar and looked at Annan, who was lying on the couch like a dead dog. "I heard someone say that this week you haven't even taken a step out of the base gate. You are just a major now, why are you so lazy?"

Ah."

"Help her? Forget it, there are a few people in the East China Sea who can beat her."

Annan wore a blindfold and said lazily.

Smoker thought for a while, and it seemed that this was really the case.

Three days ago, Smoker wanted to compete with Annan, but was stopped by Esdeath. She said that the pirates she met were too weak and she was not interested, so it would be better to find Smoker in Rogge Town.

Compare and discuss the highest combat power.

Smoker agreed.

Then he regretted it.

During the sparring process, he was pressed down and beaten throughout.

Like Esdeath, he came out of Zefa's elite training class. As a student of Zefa, you can't graduate without dual-color domineering.

Smoker can be domineering, but his weaponry is poor, and his knowledge and skills should be better.

But it’s nothing compared to Esdeath.

As Esdeath, who has learned Zefa's "Black Wrist" Haki, the familiar use of Haki almost reminds Smoker of his days in the elite training class.

After a few fights, Smoker found that he was no match for Esdeath in terms of domineering power, so he immediately changed his mind and began to use his fruit abilities.

Smoker is a user with the natural "Smoke Fruit" ability.

It is not without reason that the natural type is recognized as the strongest type among the three types of devil fruits.

The smoke fruit's high mobility and elementalization really put Esdeath in a difficult position.

After all, there are still a handful of natural-type idiots like Luo Wa. Whenever you encounter an opponent who has some understanding of natural-type fruits, it will be troublesome for the first time.

But unfortunately, Esdeath is also a person with abilities, so she directly used her abilities to freeze him, including himself and the smoke.

After several battles with Esdeath, Smoker was completely defeated.

In the end, even in sheer strength, he couldn't compare to Esdeath.

When he thought that before the competition, for the sake of fairness, he did not use the Ten Hands with Sea Tower Stones, Smoker couldn't help but hit himself a few times. It makes you feel so sentimental.

So what Annan said is not unreasonable.

In the East China Sea, there are really few people who can beat Esdeath.

"Although this is true," Smoker said, "you should go out more to catch pirates or go on cruises. You won't get promoted if you stay at the base all the time."

Smoker believes that the current positions of Annan and Esdeath are too low and do not match their strength at all.

If they hadn't said there was another reason for this, he would have definitely made a phone call and scolded the people in the headquarters for being blind.

Smoker didn't have a good impression of the two of them, but he wasn't bad either. After all, he made a good impression at first sight, and he often taught Dasqi in swordsmanship. Plus the three of them were Zefa's students, so it stands to reason that he

He is also their senior.

Help as much as you can. As the director of the naval base in Rogge Town, it is easy for him to hand over hundreds of millions of credits to them.

"Promoted, why? I think I'm pretty good now," Annan said.

"That's because you are all subordinates of the general, and you all have the right to move freely." Smoker snorted coldly. "Otherwise, with your current position, it would be easy to encounter some trashy navy officers with higher military ranks than you.



"It seems that you have encountered a lot, otherwise you wouldn't have come here." Annan said with a smile, "We also encountered the garbage navy when we were in the South China Sea. It was indeed disgusting."

"Then how did you deal with him?" Smoker asked curiously.

"How else can we deal with him?" Annan lit up a cigar.

"Six ribs."

"Assaulting a superior officer will result in a lighter sentence of confinement, or in serious cases, expulsion from the navy." Smoker said, "You were very bold at the time. Didn't that guy cause trouble for you later?"

"With his head covered, he doesn't know who the person who beat him is." Annan waved his hand, "Maybe he can guess it, but there is no evidence. Of course, it is inevitable to give us small shoes, and his application for training at the headquarters was rejected by him.

He must have been stuck for two years, but at that time he was too concerned about going to the headquarters, so I just didn't care. Later, he was fucked to the end by Colonel Byron, and I found out."

"I know Byron from the 24th Branch of the South China Sea," Smoker said. "He joined the Navy at the same time as Aoki Pheasant, and they were close friends from the same hometown. Later, he was injured on the Grand Line, leaving behind hidden diseases, and returned to the South China Sea.



"Let's stop chatting. It's time to talk about business."

Smoker took out a document and threw it on Annan, "This is the complaint report I found from people in the East China Sea in recent years. Through this, we can understand the reputation of each branch of the navy in the East China Sea."

"Okay, Smoker, you can find all of this." Annan pushed the eye mask to his forehead and looked through the documents, "Let me see..."

"The town with the most complaints...Rogue Town?"

Annan looked at Smoker in confusion: "I didn't find out what bad things you did in Rogge Town. How come you have the most complaints here?"

"Haha, tell me why." Smoker sneered. "There are records on it. The people who complained the most about me came from Shidao. That place has always prohibited civilians from going to sea. External communications are in the hands of the nobles of the kingdom. What do you think of the people there?

How did you complain?"

"World Government, it's an old trick, but it doesn't work for you." Annan continued to look at the records, "The number of complaints is close to tens of thousands. You are not cutting off their financial resources, you are digging up their ancestral graves."
Smoker didn't quite understand Annan's words, but he probably didn't mean them well, so he didn't ask again.

"Why is there such a big difference between the number of first and second complainants? It is estimated that 80% of this complaint record was submitted by trolls."

Annan was amused, "It seems we have to go to each branch in person."

"You finally want to go out and take a look." Smoker said.

"Of course, it's already 1520. It's a new year and a new atmosphere. It's time to go out for a walk to avoid the limelight." Annan said with a smile.

"Then our first stop is..." Annan opened the map of the East China Sea attached to the document.

"This is the Shidao that has complained about you the most." Annan pointed at the map and said.
