One Piece's Life

At night, the weather turned hotter, and Walter, who was waiting in the office, finally waited for the arrival of his two subordinates. . Seeing everyone taking off their military hats, Walter was the first to speak, "Speak, if you have any objections to me, just say it, I will listen!"

After calming down and no longer nervous, the young officer replied seriously, "Report to the colonel, regarding today's actions during the day, the soldiers did not understand the retreat order you gave, colonel."

"Even if the goods and people we wanted didn't show up, everyone thought it was necessary to arrest those guys who had been maliciously occupying Dome Tree Park for a long time, but why did the colonel order a retreat at the critical moment?"

"Are you stupid? Do you need to ask me about this matter? Yes, we are the navy, but we have not yet completely established a foothold on Arms Island."

"If we have a conflict with those guys, let alone the loss of troops, we will most likely anger those guys hiding in the dark."

"We must consider the consequences of everything we do, and we must always be on guard against being jointly attacked by that group of people. Yes, most of them are indeed criminals, but it's not time to settle accounts with them yet!"

"As for the batch of goods mentioned above, according to reliable information, it had been moved away before we arrived. As for the man, he didn't show up at all. If we continue to guard there, we will definitely alert the group. People. If that happens, we will cause public outrage."

"Patience for now! Let the soldiers under your command calm down! What about you? What else can you do?"

The adjutant holding several documents said respectfully, "Colonel, in addition to some strange orders from the headquarters, the things you asked the subordinate to investigate have already been revealed."

"There were several fierce private fights on the island today. Among them, the two people who used the sky as the battlefield attracted the most attention. The colonel must know the identities of those two people. As for the other battles, the places where the incidents occurred were far away. . When the incident occurred, almost no one knew who was fighting, so it was quite difficult to collect accurate information."

"As for the half-destroyed street, it happens to be under the jurisdiction of our navy, and the culprit has not been found yet. It is urgent to repair the street. Please ask the colonel to deal with this matter as soon as possible!"

"Deal it? How else to deal with it? Starting from tomorrow, mobilize all manpower to repair that street. Also, remember to send the greeting card to Mr. Hogan tomorrow night."

"Okay, I'll take my leave now!"

After watching his two subordinates leave, Walter frowned and sighed helplessly, "It's really troublesome. I have to explain to the people above later. What excuse should I make? Or should I report it truthfully?"

"Speaking of which, the new female lieutenant general of the headquarters is really messy. I hope she won't cause any more trouble to the navy! Well, why did I forget something very important? Forget it, that matter is not urgent, let's go out first Let’s have something to eat in the cafeteria.”

As for Serala, she finally reunited with Lily and others after searching for a long time. "Sister Lily, Serala finally found you. Are you having dinner?"

Since Schnebby was still eating like crazy, Lily and the others waited patiently. For Arthur, his schedule was very stable and he was already drowsy.

Seeing Serala coming, the well-behaved Arthur quickly greeted, "Aunt Serala, you are here. If you are hungry, you might as well come to the table and eat something."

"Huh? Arthur, why are you here?"

The person who answered was Unaen who was pretending to read the newspaper. "Selala, you are finally here. Arthur will be here because I am taking care of him. Well, why are you the only one? You didn't find Daisy or Gray." ?"

Serala, who had long forgotten about this matter, was very embarrassed. "Well, I'm sorry, Serala hasn't found them yet. It's all because of the heavy rain, otherwise Serala would have found them. Yunaen, you still have What’s the problem?”

"It's nothing. Since you didn't find them, let's look for them tomorrow. Oh, if I had known that everyone would bring a phone bug before we separated, it would have been much easier!"

Lily agreed with what Unaen said, but everyone forgot to bring their phone bugs before disembarking. "Selala, it's good that you came, but don't run away privately again, do you hear me?"

"Well! Blue, do you need Serala to hug you?" Regardless of Blue's willingness or not, Serala always picked her up smoothly.

Under Blue's curious gaze, Schnebby finally stopped and said, "I'm so full! I didn't expect to be so full today. Schnebby is very happy! Huh? Serara, why are you here? Snay!"

Seeing that Schneibi was finally full, Unaen, who had been impatient for a long time, stood up slowly and said, "Schneibi, you really know how to eat. Okay, it's evening now, let's find a place to stay first!"

The brightly lit restaurant was full of guests, and people were curious about why the little crocodile was so edible. This gave Unaen a headache. "Schnebby, what are you still dawdling about? Tell me, how many Baileys are left?"

"Bailey? Bailey still has a lot, and I always feel like I can't spend it all. Well, is it night now? Okay, let's go now. snay!"

Schneby could feel Unaen's emotions, so after untying the napkin, he quickly moved closer to Lily while holding Bailey. "Schneby, Unaen is like that, don't pay attention to him. Look at you After eating so much, it’s not advisable to walk around for a long time. Let’s just find a hotel nearby.”

"Hey, Lily, you still know Schnebby! Snay!" When Lily and the others left, the waitress did not forget to say, "Everyone, please go slowly. Welcome to come again!"

Hogan's Grocery Store, if it were in the past, this store would have closed long ago, but today is special. Under the dim light, old Hogan, who was standing in front of the counter, repeatedly wiped his reading glasses. He seemed to be suffering from dementia and always stared at the broken fan.

It's a coincidence that since Gray and his party left, this store has never welcomed new customers. Fortunately, old Hogan has long been indifferent. "Hey, Daisy, why haven't you come back yet? Huh? Granddaughter Finally back!"

As the footsteps got closer and closer, Gray, who had broken the appointment, finally arrived. When Old Hogan put on his reading glasses, he quickly greeted, "Young man, you are here. Daisy, did you have fun today?"

"Of course! Grandpa, I had a lot of fun today. Maybe it was because of this big brother that I forgot about time for a while."

As she spoke, Daisy suddenly turned down her face and said, "Sorry, Grandpa, I'm late. I hope you won't be angry."

Looking at the umbrella in Gray's hand, Old Hogan shook his head slightly, "No, it's good that you can come back safely. Young man, thank you very much. Looking at your appearance, you probably haven't had dinner yet, right? If you don't mind, just go with it. I’ll have a meal at my residence, and of course you can stay at my place tonight. Don’t worry, there are plenty of rooms available!”

Gray was a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to decide. Fortunately, he couldn't stand Daisy's coquettishness. "Brother, you promised me that you will stay with me all day today, so tonight you also belong to me. You You can’t cheat!”

"Hey, big brother, if you come back to your residence with us, I will cook myself. Do you want to eat the food I cook?"

Gray, who always felt indebted, asked, "Oh? Daisy, can you cook at such a young age? Are you sure you can cook?"

Under Gray's curious gaze, Daisy was very unhappy, "Humph, big brother, if you don't believe me, forget it. If you really don't come to my house as a guest, then you will miss it!"

"Okay, stop talking, I'll just go. Grandpa, I'm very sorry, I didn't keep the time. I brought Daisy back so late, please don't be angry."

Regarding Gray's words, the old Hogan who was cleaning up the counter didn't care. "Young man, I won't be angry, but I will be happy. Daisy, please wait for grandpa for a while. Grandpa will close the store door right now."

Under Daisy's tug, Gray walked out of the grocery store. On the way to his residence, old Hogan, holding a kerosene lamp, stared at Gray from time to time.

Three days later in the morning, everyone returned to the ship, but everyone was in a different mood. If it were in the past, there wouldn't be so much to talk about when we set sail again, but now because of Daisy, the atmosphere has become very happy.

After waving goodbye to Daisy one after another, there were only three people left on the deck. In addition to Daisy, old Hogan also came to see her off, but he didn't say much from beginning to end. "Daisy, Grandpa, I'm leaving, we're leaving, please take care of yourself!"

"Daisy, you are very good-looking. You don't need to wear so much makeup anymore. I hope you can show your truest appearance in front of others in the future. Grandpa, I hope you will stay young forever. What I want to say is probably These, that!”

"Haha, I can take good care of my granddaughter, and I don't need you to worry about my health. Let's go with peace of mind! Young people, I wish you a safe journey."

Not long after the Karoo left, Daisy, who was nestling next to old Hogan, began to cry loudly. After crying for a while, the depressed Daisy stared blankly at the card in her hand, "Daisy, what is that in your hand? Did Gray give it to you?"

It was a very unusual card, with a dark purple color. There is a dynamic portrait of Gray on the front and Gray's autograph on the back.

After the card was in Old Hogan's hand, he sighed solemnly, "Really? No wonder I felt you were very close to me when I first saw you. Are you the grandson of Forpasta Hogan?"

"Haha, I really didn't expect you to be alive! You were kidnapped by those pirates back then. Now that you are living so well, I can finally give an explanation to my dead son!"

Daisy, who was stunned for a while, questioned, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? That eldest brother is your grandson? In other words, he is my biological brother?"

Seeing his granddaughter's expectant eyes, Old Hogan said earnestly, "Well, although I didn't have time to confirm it, it can't be wrong. Daisy, before you were born, you had an older brother, and his name was the same as that." Just like a young man. Daisy, don't blame grandpa for not telling you this."

"How could it be? Hee hee, I'm very happy! Grandpa, thank you for telling me this! Big brother, I will listen to grandpa obediently. I hope you can pick me up soon!"
