"They don't ask you because you will stay with them in Shampoo."
Gawain responded calmly, and then waved to Lieutenant General Dauberman who was beside him, who was in a state of confusion.
"Lieutenant General Dauberman."
Gawain greeted softly.
"Unlike Musgard, I still need your help here."
"Yes, Lieutenant General Dauberman, I stayed in Shampoo to wait for the coating, but Gawain is going to your naval headquarters!"
Musgard smiled and interrupted, then patted Gawain on the back.
"Clan Chief Gaowen, I will take people to arrange the coating. I hope you will go and come back early.
If you come back late, don't expect me to give you even a glass of wine."
"rest assured."
Gawain nodded and waved goodbye to Musgarud at the same time. After Musgarud left with seven of the fifteen guards, Gawain slowly came to Dauberman's side.
Seeing Gawain approaching, Dauberman quickly stepped back to let Gawain in front, and at the same time, he arched his back slightly.
Seeing Dauberman's expression, Gawain made a joke.
"When I leave Mariegioa this time, I will travel on the sea for a long time. There will be many opportunities for us to get in touch in the future.
So, don’t be formal, Lieutenant General Dauberman.”
"yes!"
Dauberman nodded solemnly and asked Gawain softly.
"So, Gao Wensheng, do you really plan to go to the Navy Headquarters?"
Gawain raised his eyebrows, "Why, do you still need me to report to the Five Old Stars in advance when going to the Navy Headquarters?"
"No, of course not. Marineford will always be loyal to the World Government. As a world noble, you can visit Marineford at any time."
"Very good. Since it's anytime, let's do it now."
Gawain said simply, and then silently waited for Dauberman's answer.
Seeing that Gawain was about to leave immediately, Dauberman's body suddenly tensed up.
"Okay, sir, I will make arrangements for you right now. All the ships provided for the world's nobles are parked at the nearby dock. You can choose the model you like."
"No need."
Gawain waved his hand lazily.
"You should have your own ship, Mr. Lieutenant General. I can take your ship."
"But I...I..."
After hesitating for a moment, Dauberman was sure that what Gawain said was true, and he had no choice but to nod aggrievedly.
"As ordered, Gao Wensheng, please come with me to my warship.
Just please forgive me for being rude, my boat may be a little dirty..."
At this point, Dauberman's scarred old face suddenly turned red.
Chambord Island was originally the safest island on the Grand Line. Not only was it less than two hours away from the headquarters, there were also generals on standby nearby.
After all, this is the entrance and exit of the Holy Land Mariejoia, and the admirals stationed at the Navy Headquarters must always be prepared to handle matters related to the Celestial Dragons.
Therefore, such a safe island has always been used as a reward for the navy vice-admirals to arrange their duties.
Which lieutenant general has recently finished a very hard and dangerous job, that lieutenant general will be sent to Shampoo Island to garrison for a few months.
Doing this can not only relieve the nervousness of the lieutenant generals, but also give them the opportunity to meet the nobles of the world. If they are lucky and meet the heroic Tianlong people, they can directly receive more than a few years of allowances.
Need more tips.
However, not every lieutenant general likes this kind of job. People like Kapu, Diyuan and Cha Dou have never been stationed in Shampoo.
Speaking of Dauberman, he also had a restless temper. After two months of stationing in Shampoo, he felt too bored and secretly sailed out to sea early in the morning.
This time I went to sea, not only fought a wave of slave traders, but also had a small encounter with Joker's men.
Before coming to meet Gawain, Dauberman had just returned from the sea. His ship was covered with all kinds of blood stains and collision scars. It was really dirty!
As for Gawain, when he heard Dauberman's words, he couldn't help but smile.
"Dauberman, you are a vice admiral, not Mary Joy's clean cook, I understand.
As for being dirty, don't worry, I don't mind.
On the contrary, I am very curious about what your ship will look like. Your warship must be much faster than ordinary ships, right?"
Listening to Gawain's voice and looking at Gawain's gentle but unquestionable eyes, Dauberman had no choice but to swallow down his worries.
"Yes, warships are naturally not as beautiful as sightseeing ships, and their comfort is far inferior, but they are indeed faster.
Since you are interested, then... please come with me!"
After the words fell, Dauberman gritted his teeth and said, "Just die." So while walking ahead to lead the way for Gawain, Dauberman prayed silently.
I hope that my soldiers have almost tidied up the ship, and I hope that my men will not go too far!
…
About ten minutes after walking out, Gawain, guided by Dauberman, came to the dock on Tree Island No. 61.
Then, Dauberman completely froze beside Gawain.
The dock is now in chaos, with more than forty people covered in scars being tied to the only docked warship.
The hull of this warship was damaged in many places, and the relatively intact areas on the deck were used to tie up and hang up those who were covered with scars.
Near the entrance and exit of the warship's cabin, more prisoners were being transported out of the bottom cabin by sailors.
Even when Gawain and Dauberman arrived at the dock and walked up the stairs to the deck of the warship, a sailor was still furiously beating a prisoner crazily.
"Thiago, stop!"
Seeing that the sailor was about to whip the man to death, Dauberman quickly opened his mouth to drink, but the sailor named Tiago didn't even look at it, but continued to raise his whip.
Visible to the naked eye, the whip in the sailor's hand turned pitch black, and the pure black whip fell on the person being beaten.
The whip was like a sword, tearing the tied guy into two pieces!
Wow!
The blood spread out like a burst water balloon, splashing onto Thiago's boots and pants.
It was only then that Thiago put away his whip and looked at Dauberman fiercely.
"Lieutenant General, this bastard killed seven of our brothers. You don't want him to walk into Impel Down alive, do you?"
After the words fell, Thiago gritted his teeth and sneered.
"What's more, he is a slave trader, not a pirate, and he doesn't even have bounties or fruits!
If we don’t kill him here, he will be redeemed by the bastards at the auction house. I don’t think they have the right to continue to live!”
"This is not a question of qualifications, this is...hey!"
Facing Thiago's answer, Dauberman gritted his teeth and then yelled.
"Sheng Gao Wen is going to take our warship to Marineford. Please put down your whip quickly and come here to meet Sage Gao Wen!"
After the words fell, Dauberman turned to Gawain and bowed gently, explaining nervously.
"Gao Wensheng, this is the boatswain on my ship, Lieutenant Colonel Thiago of the Navy Headquarters!
He...he is...is..."
"Ahem!"
After listening to Dauberman's words, Gawain coughed lightly to hide the slight discomfort in his heart.
Then he waved his hands, making an indifferent gesture.
"You don't need to explain, I can see that he is killing people."
With an understatement, Gawain strode straight onto the deck of the Daubermann warship.
Seeing Gawain boarding the ship, the sailors who were moving on the deck quickly knelt down towards Gawain.
And Thiago.
Looking at Gawain, the fierceness in his eyes quickly faded, and then returned to calm.
While putting the bloody whip behind his waist, Thiago saluted expressionlessly and said.
"See Gao Wensheng."
"It's okay to see you. Get up, everyone."
Gawain waved his hand to signal the sailors to get up, and then he stepped onto the blood- and gunpowder-soaked deck without a care in the world, and came to the front of the body that was split into two halves.
Looking at the body with black and red liquid still dripping, and then smelling the stench exposed from the body's torn abdominal cavity.
Gawain breathed out heavily.
This is the reality of this sea, not the fairy tale in the comics where not many people were killed or injured.
In Mariejoia, Musgard and the simple mermaids almost made him forget that this was a real sea, and there was bound to be darkness behind the reality.
As for the immediate future?
The picture in front of me is not necessarily dark!
Gawain pointed at the corpse and looked a little surprised. Thiago seemed to have never expected Gawain to be so calm and asked.
"Tell me their identities."
"Yes, Gao Wensheng!"
Thiago nodded and said loudly.
"They are the slave traders we found offshore and on the seabed this morning. We found three pirates on their ship with a bounty of around 15 million.
In addition, there were seventeen human women, two male murlocs and an old man from the Long-Handed tribe on their boat.
After confirming their identities, we launched a boarding battle with them, and Lieutenant General Dauberman also forced back the joker's cadres.
However, after that, due to the sudden change in the sky of Mariejoia, in order to return quickly, we gave up the pursuit of the cadres and only captured the ordinary slave traders who had lost their combat effectiveness."
Speaking of this, Thiago frowned.
"But I don't think they are qualified to be captured. All lynchings were carried out by me alone and have nothing to do with Lieutenant General Dauberman!"
After the words fell, Thiago half-knelt in front of Gawain and lowered his head heavily.
Looking at Thiago, Gawain was about to speak when a harsh sound suddenly came from the cage beside him.
"It's Tian... Lord Tianlong, we are saved, it's Tianlong!"
Lord Tianlong, we are good workers who capture slaves for Auction House No. 1!
The slaves we captured were originally meant to be dedicated to you, but as a result, these crazy people attacked us without any explanation. They don't want you to have newer and better slaves!"
"Shut up!"
Gawain shouted softly, interrupting the slave trader.
Then he rubbed his ears unhappily.
After the surroundings quieted down and the slave traders did not dare to speak, Gawain patted Thiago on the shoulder.
"Headquarters Lieutenant Colonel Thiago, right? Good job, continue."
"What?" Thiago was stunned.
Seeing Thiago stunned, Gawain lowered the corner of his mouth and said coldly.
"I said go ahead!"
With a wave of his hand, he pointed at all the bound slave traders.
"Anyone who is confirmed to be involved in the slave-catching work and chooses to capture and sell their compatriots will not be spared!"
After the words fell to the ground, Gawain ignored Tiago who was shocked and happy at the same time, turned around and walked towards the captain's cabin where Dauberman used to rest.
