My partner in One Piece is Esdeath

Chapter 216 Reminiscing about the past

"Oh, Tina is really convinced by you."

Tina slapped her forehead, "What you do has no meaning except making the higher-ups hate you even more."

"So what, I can't accept credit that doesn't belong to me!" Smoker said angrily, biting his cigar.

"Do you think the world government will admit to the people that there are pirates among the people exposed to the crisis in Alabasta?" Tina frowned, "Wake up, Smoker."

"Yo, they're all here."

Annan walked over slowly, "I received the commendation order. How did it commend me?"

"You've been promoted to one rank, and you'll also get a medal." Smoker said, "Congratulations, you're now a lieutenant colonel."

"That's weird." Annan touched his chin, "It's about the same as I guessed. Originally, I thought I could be promoted to colonel, but considering that the world government generally doesn't treat people well, I lowered my expectations. .”

"With your merits, being promoted to colonel is completely enough. I will go and tell the headquarters to transfer my share to you." Smoker exhaled smoke, "This promotion to brigadier general makes me upset."

"Come on, just keep what the higher ups give you, don't act like a trading market, and give me your credit."

"It's not like you didn't participate in this operation. Don't think too low of yourself."

Annan curled his lips and said, "If you were to be a lone ranger, I would have nothing to say, but now that you are leading a team, you have to think not only about yourself but also about the people under you. If you don't get promoted, they won't be able to get promoted even if they want to. "

"What you said seems to make sense."

Smoker was silent for a moment, seeming to agree with Annan's point of view.

"Oh, you guys are really... If you don't work hard, I will catch up with you." Annan rubbed his hair, "By the way, the liquidation of Baroque Working Group is also coming to an end. What are your next plans?"

"Tina needs to return to the headquarters first, and then return to the area around Alabasta."

Tina said, "The impact of Crocodile's incident has been too great. The headquarters ordered me to move the base to Alabasta. From now on, I will be responsible for this route in the park."

There are a total of seven routes in the first half of the park in the Grand Line. Pirates can only choose one of the routes starting from Upside Down Mountain. Once they start sailing, they cannot change it.

"Then this is really hard on you."

Annan sighed, "A whole route is enough to keep you busy."

"Actually, it's okay. The park has seven routes, which diverts a lot of pirates." Tina said, "But this year is a bit special. There are very threatening pirates on each route. The headquarters speculates that this year's pirate supernova The number will be at least double that of previous years.”

"Alas, the extremely evil era is coming." Annan sighed in his heart.

"Smog also wants someone from our headquarters. Where are you and Esdeath?" Tina asked in return.

"Anyway, I'm going back to headquarters." Annan shrugged, "I didn't ask Esdeath. When I got off the ship, she was still reporting to General Kizaru."

"Esdeath should go to Justice Island." Tina lit a cigarette. "She wants to help Crow get a formal identity. My subordinate was once a pirate. After being acquitted by the World Government, , you can become a navy."

When Tina arrived in Alabasta, she also brought two subordinates with her. Coincidentally, one of them was named Zangao, who was the vice-captain of Crow when he was a pirate.

Jango, who was proficient in hypnosis, immediately discovered that Kurome had been hypnotized, and volunteered to help her remove the hypnosis. Crowe led him to treat Kurome.

He is also a pirate, but Zangao has been sentenced by the court and became a civilian, and the navy is willing to demote him to protect him, so there is no problem for him to become a navy.

As for Crowe, he is "dead" on the surface and has always been a gangster. Now that he has become a navy, he will have a formal identity.

"Hahahaha, Captain, I originally thought that I was the only one who would become a navy man, but I didn't expect that even an evil pirate like you would become a navy man."

"No, Captain, are you pretending to be a sailor and doing bad things? No! For the sake of justice, I will report you to Miss Tina!"

"I'm reporting you!" Crowe was so angry that his teeth were itching. He was in the sea and couldn't help himself.

"What's wrong, Crow, if you meet a former crew member, don't you think about catching up on old times?"

Esdeath appeared behind Crowe and patted Crowe on the shoulder.

"Reminiscing about old times?"

Crowe's eyes lit up and he immediately understood the meaning of Esdeath's words.

"Zang Gao! I really miss you!"

Crowe moved and appeared next to Zangao, putting his arm on his shoulders.

"After being apart for so long, I really have a lot to say to you, my former subordinate."

"Captain... I miss you very much, too. How about I give you a dance to celebrate?" The smile on Zangao's face disappeared and he swallowed.

Of course the smile never disappears, it just moves from one person's face to another.

At this time, Crowe smiled and dragged Zangao away.

boom!

"Come, let me see how much your strength has improved since you became a navy!"

"Captain, don't... Oops!"

After a while, Zangao's screams echoed throughout the dock.
