Pirates: Honest Men in the Navy

After going to Impel Down to hand over Katakuri, and returning to the headquarters, the world seemed to suddenly become calm again.But Louis was sitting in the office, looking through the window, across the sea and the red continent, as if he had foreseen what kind of huge waves Roger and their last journey would cause.

Roger reached the summit in 1498, and the great pirate era began in 1500.

To be honest, Louis is currently thinking about how to reasonably inform Sengoku and the others about Roger's death.

You can't just say: Roger is dying, and he still has about 2 years to live.

So, where is the evidence?

You can't joke about this kind of thing.

Thinking of this, Louis went directly to the Intelligence Department of the General Staff. After returning to the office with a pile of documents about the Roger Pirates collected by the Navy Headquarters, he hesitated for a moment and then began to immerse himself in processing and analyzing, trying to find some clues.

Looking at Louis who was buried in the pile of documents, Gion didn't bother him. He quietly sat on the sofa, poured himself a glass of water, lit a cigarette, and just watched quietly. he.

After a while, he didn't know if it was the smell of cigarettes that caught his attention. He raised his head and saw Gion looking at him intently, holding a cigarette in his mouth with a smile on his face.

He smiled back and saw that there were already a lot of cigarette butts in the ashtray. He looked at the time and realized that more than an hour had passed.

"I've kept you waiting for a long time. How did you complete this mission?" He stretched himself, took a glass of water from Gion's hand, lit a cigarette for himself, and asked with a smile.

Exhaling a breath of smoke, I don't know what I thought of, my expression became a little ugly, and I slowly recounted my experience this time:

"Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with the mission itself. He is just an arrogant man who ate a natural fruit. He really thought he was invincible. Why didn't I kill him with a few swords!

The point is that on the way back home, I met a madman. "

"Crazy? Tell me carefully." Louis was a little curious.

Gion just clicked his tongue in displeasure and told the story of his encounter with this 'madman':

"This madman's full name is Jorakel? 6? 1 Mihawk. I have to admit that he is a very powerful swordsman.

But what's weird is that after seeing the warship, he didn't hide away, but jumped up directly and asked if there was a powerful swordsman here.

When I heard this, out of the dignity of a swordsman, I drew my sword and attacked him, but... I still lost in the end.Of course, I will definitely find my place again later! "

After speaking, he clenched his fists and looked unconvinced.

It's burning up!

Louis was surprised to hear that the greatest swordsman in the world in the later generations of the original book had already started his own undefeated path in swordsmanship?But why is there no news?

Immediately asked:

"Is there any news about Mihawk before? Why didn't I know about it?"

Gion, who was still burning with fighting spirit, immediately cooled down, rolled his eyes, and complained:

"There's a lot of news about him! It's just not a big article. This guy has challenged famous kendo dojos everywhere without ever losing. It's crazy.

Besides, how could you, a person who only half-heartedly pursues kendo, care too much about these things? "

Well, it’s time to say it or not, it’s just bird food.

After all, I only learned swordsmanship to expand my long-range attack capabilities, and it was not enough to have any skills.

Now I don’t have that much energy to improve my swordsmanship.

Perhaps we can look forward to the abilities that a wave of fruits will bring after awakening?

Draw your sword to say hello, but the real fight requires close combat!Louis thought in his heart.

"By the way, what were you doing just now? Why are there so many documents!" Gion asked curiously.

"I am analyzing the possible direction of the Roger Pirates becoming king. I will report the results to the Warring States General. You will definitely be surprised!" Louis replied slowly while holding the water glass.

Could it be possible to disband directly?How is that possible!

Gion curled his lips and complained so much in his heart that he didn't ask. There would definitely be this topic at the regular meeting, so he could just wait.

She did not continue to worry about work matters. Just as she was about to invite Louis to go on a date to the Chambord Islands on the weekend, a rush of footsteps from the door stopped Gion.

"Report, Your Excellency the Major General, ah, and Your Excellency the Lieutenant General! Staff Officer He asked Your Excellency the Major General to go to the staff headquarters immediately!"

A messenger came to the door of Louis' office and stood at attention, saluting to convey the news. However, when he noticed Gion's murderous eyes, he was immediately frightened.

What did i do wrong?

I'm just here to convey orders!

Looking at the messenger who was trembling with fear from Gion, Louis asked him to reply to Staff He, saying he would be there in a moment.

At the right time, the poor messenger slipped away.

Seeing Gion's angry look, he still found it quite cute, not at all as domineering as when he drew his sword to kill someone.

After finally getting over her, and agreeing to the invitation to go on a date to the Shampoo Islands over the weekend, he put on his righteous coat of arms, bid farewell to Gion, and walked straight towards the Office of Staff Crane.

After knocking on the door to report, he pushed the door open and saw Counselor He holding a teacup in one hand and looking relaxed.After seeing Louis come in, he smiled at him, pointed to the chair in front of the desk, and motioned for him to sit down.

Without refusing, he sat down and asked first:

"Commander He, do you have anything to do with me today?"

Picking up a document, Staff Officer He pushed it to Louis, took a sip of tea, and explained to him:

"Didn't you say last time that you wanted to set up a team to carry out special tasks? Today, Air Marshal approved your request. Here is the appointment letter with receipt. Take a look."

This gave Louis a surprise, and the smile appeared on the surface. With this appointment letter, there is no need to go through the process when recruiting people. You can just add people to the team first, and then go through the process later.

After putting away the appointment letter, he listened to Staff He continue to say:

"I heard from people in the Intelligence Department that you took away almost all the information about the Roger Pirates?"

To this, Louis had already prepared an answer:

"It seems inevitable now that the Roger Pirates will become king. So, I think our Navy Headquarters should prepare for this unprecedented 'Pirate King' as soon as possible."

After listening, Staff He nodded approvingly, his eyes full of appreciation.Then, he thought of something again and asked in a teasing tone:

"So, when will you marry Gion?"

Louis, who just took a sip of tea, almost spit it out!

No, Counselor He, I haven’t confirmed our relationship with her yet!Is it too soon to jump right into talking about marriage? !

"Ahem, don't worry, don't worry! She and I...well, that...oh, right! I remembered that I had something else to do, so I left first!"

After putting down the tea cup, he disappeared from Crane's office in the blink of an eye.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, young people are still a bit thin-skinned..." Shaking his head and sighing, Staff Officer He stopped worrying about their relationship issues and began to deal with the remaining documents.

On the way back to his office, Louis felt quite uneasy.

To be honest, everyone has noticed Gion's feelings for him over the years, including himself of course.

After knowing about it, many people wished the two of them to make it to the end, well...except for a certain unknown Mr. Jiaji.

In addition to his unremitting confession, this person also constantly advocates that men should look at the inner meaning and not pay too much attention to such small issues as appearance.

And a man like Louis, who is as internal and external as the legendary reader, is not afraid of this at all.

However, recalling everything he has experienced since he met Gion, Louis can't help but sigh:

Totally stuck in it!
