Pirate: I am the nephew of Akainu

Chapter 86

When Hughes returned to the boat, Kyle asked immediately.

"It's the boat of the Polusa family." Kyle said in a deep voice: "Cage, the contemporary patriarch of the Porusa family, is a very outstanding businessman and an excellent politician."

Hughes nodded: "Yeah, he's still a weird uncle."

Thinking of Cage asking his son to ask him to call him uncle, which adult would make such a naive move.

Thinking of the behavior of Huang Yuan and Cage, Hughes still felt that they were in harmony, as if Huang Yuan's brother should be like this.

Hawkins had changed into a navy uniform, the lowest rank of corporal.

Hughes is eligible to grant him a higher military rank, which is one of the authority of the base chief.

But he didn't.

Hawkins will be tied to this ship in the future, starting from the bottom, which will allow him to gain the approval of the Navy officers faster.

That's what Hughes did at the beginning, so after accepting the manpower of the Red Dog Fleet, he can achieve a smooth transition.

The military rank is corporal, and Hughes will not really let Hawkins sit some low-level jobs.

Appropriate tests can distinguish people's hearts, but excessive tests will only chill people's hearts.

"Are you still getting used to it?" Hughes said calmly, "The navy is not like pirates. It has a little more rules. As long as you get used to it, you won't feel anything."

"It's okay." Hawkins replied: "This kind of orderly life is very rare in this era."

This is his heart.

Pirates seem to be freer than the navy and live a carefree life, but this is not the case.

Freedom is real freedom, it is impossible to be free from worry.

For most pirates, every time they go to sea, they have to worry about whether the plundered wealth can sustain their expenses, and they also have to worry about dealing with naval encirclement and suppression.

Even when you are sleeping soundly every day, you have to be careful whether the partners who play together during the day will touch your neck because of a few gold coins.

Hawkins' fruit ability makes him not have to worry about his subordinates' mutiny, but similar behaviors on the ship often happen.

He didn't stop it either.

As far as he was concerned, these guys were going to die sooner or later.

By the way, when leaving the Hardman Islands, Hawkins used the fruit ability to kill all the crew members.

As for whether his ability is bound to a new target, Hughes is not sure.

This is a very tricky fruit. Hughes asked Hawkins how to trigger his ability.

The latter also told Hughes the truth.

To select a target as a stand-in, you need to obtain body tissue from the target, such as hair, nails or even blood.

As long as it is the body tissue that falls off from the other party.

Indeed, as Hughes expected, it is not unconditionally triggered, but the trigger mechanism is also very simple.

For people who get along day and night, collecting each other's hair is a very easy task, no wonder Hawkins was able to bind the crew of the entire pirate ship.

So Hughes didn't know whether Hawkins bound the people on board.

But he can be sure that there is no trace of the curse on his body.

White Flame has the effect of purifying and eliminating any negative state, and the curse is also a kind of negative state, so it is invalid for Hughes.

"After getting in touch slowly, you will like the navy, they are all trustworthy companions." Hughes said to Hawkins.

I hope that the friendship of the Navy can influence Hawkins and make him give up the act of using people around him as substitutes.

Hawkins nodded, looking at the sea in front of him, his eyes showed a little shock.

This was his first time in the calm zone, and he never thought that he could go to the great route in this way, which is really incredible.

The return journey was smooth sailing.

Except for the small episode of Polusa's house, the warship crossed the calm zone safely.

Leaving the windless belt, Kyle came to Hughes for the first time.

She knew that in order to ensure safety, Hughes had been observing the sea kings with a domineering look, and the physical exertion was very high.

"How is it?" Kyle asked with concern, "Do you need to replenish your energy?"

Hughes shook his head, this time it was much better than before, and it was not too late.

It is not far from the naval base, and there is no need to perform tasks on the return trip, and there is no need to maintain a full state.

"I went back to the room to rest, and I need to find me." Hughes said to Kyle.

It was just getting dark, and there was still some time before he could return to the naval base, so there was no need for Hughes to stay on the deck.

Kyle responded and watched Hughes go away.

There is no need to be in a hurry on the return journey, and the journey will be slower, and we will not arrive at the naval base until the sun rises.

Hughes paid Hawkinsto to Darcy, and asked Darcy to take good care of Hawkins and let him become a navy as soon as possible.

Darcy nodded meaningfully, indicating that he knew what to do.

Afterwards, Hughes took Kyle to the office.

It's not that the two are reluctant to separate, but that Beihai's rescue of Drake is not over yet.

Officially, Hughes needs to submit the results of this violation and the loss of combat readiness to the Navy Headquarters.

In private, he needs to contact Zhan Guo to explain the whole thing.

Kyle handed over the phone bug of the Warring States Period to Hughes. It is working time now, so there is no need to worry about not being able to connect.

gurgle gurgle gurgle
It didn't take long for the phone bug to connect successfully, and the snail turned into the Warring States again.

Zhan Guo said seriously, "Hey, it's me."

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, I am Hughes." Hughes first revealed his identity, and then said: "The incident has been successfully concluded. Drake returned to the North Sea, and his identity has not been revealed."

The Navy's intelligence has always been very slow. Hughes concluded that the Warring States didn't know what happened in the North Sea, so they couldn't receive Drake's brilliant intelligence.

"I see." Zhan Guo said calmly: "I'm sorry to trouble you this time, you did a good job, but"

This one just dragged on for a long time, and it can be seen that the Warring States Period is hesitating.

Hughes said, "Don't worry about anything, I'm a navy."

He knew that Warring States was considering gains and losses.

This gain and loss is his potential, but also his identity background.

"it is good."

The Warring States said in a deep voice: "The royal family of Vinsmoke protested to the world government. The navy intervened in the internal affairs of the royal family of Vinsmoke and asked the navy to punish you."

Hughes was not surprised by the comparison.

Before doing this, he had considered the series of reactions of the Vinsmoke family, which was also reasonable.

He's not the battle suit of the Vinsmokes for nothing.

Just like what he said to Gage, he didn't even know if he could keep the rank of major general when he went back this time.

Hughes asked, "What do you mean?"

He wants to know the attitude of the Warring States Period, which is related to how to deal with the conflicts between the world government and the navy in the later period.

Zhan Guo was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Let's take a rest first."

"Your position and military rank will not change. You will temporarily step back from the front line and take a rest in the name of being investigated."

The Warring States period chose to compromise, but it was not a complete compromise. Instead, it adopted the usual official tricks of procrastination.

Keep Hughes in the name of investigation, wait until the limelight passes, and restore Hughes' position.

"Sorry." Warring States felt ashamed.

Supporting Beihai not only failed to reward Hughes, but instead made him temporarily withdraw from the front line, which was very unkind.
