Pirate's Nest Order

Alabasta.

On the edge of a windy and sandy city, the seagull flag seems to be buried in the sky and cannot see its color. The flagpole below makes a shaking sound. The playground occupies a very large area and is surrounded by strong brick walls. Surrounding it, the walls are thick and tall to resist the wind and sand. Looking down from the sky, the entire naval base looks like a giant tortoise standing in the desert.

It was just dawn, and the dim lights were on in the crookedly remodeled building. The sound of "tick-tick-tick" water poured over his burly body, and the missing piece of his right ear under his short-inch hair seemed a bit hideous. He let the faucet "tick" Splashing water, just like this naked body in front of the mirror, then slowly wiped off the water beads on the body, and put on the coat with the word "justice" printed on the side.

In the navy system, those who can wear a "justice" coat must be the rank of colonel and above, and judging from the decoration on his shoulders, it is obvious that he is a naval captain woven by the headquarters.

"report!"

The half-old wooden door trembled, and a noncommissioned officer stood outside the door with his head lowered and leaning against the crack of the door. He seemed to have indescribable awe for the colonel.

"Say!"

Kelum, the top officer stationed at the naval branch base in Alabasta, is 37 years old and has been stationed in this rough place for nearly three years. He is more than two meters tall and has a strong physique standing at the door. The entire doorway was blocked from light, and a huge shadow fell over the sergeant's head.

"A transfer order has just been sent from the headquarters." The sergeant took out a sealed letter from his pocket, and handed it to Colum with his hands above his head.

"A transfer order from the headquarters!" Colum took the letter and tore it open, and pulled out the transfer order inside. After sweeping his eyes to confirm, he didn't seem to show any unexpected expressions. It seemed that he had already received the wind before the transfer order was delivered. But his face still became gloomy, "Donghai, Navy 153 branch, actually want me to switch with there, I don't know if the staff of the headquarters has shit in their heads."

Although Alabasta is a land that eats soil, and the climate and environment have become increasingly harsh in recent years, Corum still lives very well here, and he has no intention of being transferred away.

The sergeant lowered his head and dared not make a sound.

Collum slowly crumpled the paper in his hand, and then walked outside. The sergeant turned sideways and followed behind him. This was a very wide and long corridor, and the guards along the way were all guarded. The military salute.

Bang!

The door closest to the renovated and extraordinarily luxurious office was pushed open heavily. Corum walked to the wine cabinet at the corner of the table, took out a bottle of wine and poured it down his throat, before sitting on the soft and spacious floor. The voice on the sofa said in a loud voice: "How is the matter I asked you to investigate?"

The noncommissioned officer stood upright, "The person who has been transferred is the new colonel of the 153rd branch of the East China Sea. According to the information I collected from the headquarters during this period, this colonel Yaerlin has not been in the navy for more than 2 years, and he has only been in the navy recently. He took over the position of Colonel Mengka of the original 153rd branch, and not long after that, he was awarded the rank of colonel of the headquarters by the staff department. He was transferred from the East China Sea to Alabasta and exchanged posts with you, sir."

"In two years, you have climbed from joining the navy to the rank of colonel in the headquarters?" Colum's face showed displeasure. It took him nearly 14 years to climb from a navy recruit to his current position. Over the years, the headquarters has become more and more fond of promoting newcomers with potential, so it can't be too much.

Kelum felt an unknown will-o'-the-wisp burning in his heart, and he took another sip of wine, "Continue on, what is so special about Colonel Yaerlin that this department treats him so favorably?"

"He jumped up too fast, so it's difficult to know many specific circumstances. However, I heard that he seems to be related to Smoker." The sergeant told the information he learned: "It's the white hunter. Smoker, I heard that he seemed to have caused some commotion in the East China Sea some time ago and had some unpleasantness with Colonel Yaerlin. In the end, he did not gain any advantage at all. Instead, he suffered some losses and was severely punished by the headquarters. After a severe punishment, Colonel Yaerlin’s skills and abilities fell into the eyes of the headquarters. The staff seemed to feel that this colonel had potential value for training and promotion, so..."

"So, you have to transfer him to replace my position, and you have to transfer me, Kelum, to the East China Sea, where birds don't poop?" Kelum felt in his heart that the East China Sea is a barren sea area. Only the devil of Branch 153 knows what's going on. Which corner of the place is it? He is now in the prime of life. He cannot dye the military rank on his shoulders into a golden general badge before he has to fight harder. But now the headquarters wants to transfer him to the East China Sea. In name, he is Horizontal transfer is actually a naked downgrade and suppression.

Beads of sweat overflowed from the sergeant's forehead and he didn't dare to wipe it off. He felt that the atmosphere in the house was very depressing. Colonel Corum sat on the sofa and suddenly laughed. The laughter became louder and more creepy. people.

"What are you still doing here?" Corum stopped his sneer and suddenly asked the sergeant.

"No, this is the textual arrangement of the collected information." The sergeant hurriedly put a text version of the report on the table, hurriedly exited and closed the door carefully.

Corum walked to the wine cabinet and reached out to turn the innermost wine holder. A gap opened in the back wall of the wine cabinet, revealing a secret compartment. The secret compartment was divided into two layers, and the bottom layer was neatly filled with yellow wine. There are gold bars, some documents and notebooks are placed on the upper layer, and a special phone bug is pressed on top.

The style of this phone bug is very similar to the phone bug that Faulkner gave to Yarlin, and it should belong to the category that has been processed so that it cannot be tapped.

He took out the phone bug and dialed the only number that was restricted to dial out. After a while, he was connected there, but no one spoke, only the sound of fingers tapping on the table came over.

Although the phone cannot be tapped, it has no visual function, so if the real state of the speaker on one end of the phone cannot be determined, the person on the other end will not say a word.

After a few breaths, the phone was hung up, and Corum put the phone bug back into the dark compartment.

Night came as promised.

Collum, who was sleeping on the sofa with his eyes closed, suddenly heard movement from the door. He opened his eyes suddenly and saw the door being pushed open, and another self swaggered in and approached the sofa.
