People in One Piece are so good-looking

The shock of Qing Pheasant is inevitable.

After all, when they first met, Nuo Xia was only a little over 1.9 meters tall. Even though he has been growing slowly since then, he still has to stand on tiptoes when hugging Taotu.

Qingzhi swore that when he confessed his love at the title ceremony, he never laughed secretly when he saw Nuo Xia standing on tiptoes.

Because he pinched his thigh at that time.

But now...what the hell is this?

This guy's height is already much taller than my own afro. If I were a woman and wanted to talk to this guy, I would have to stand on my tiptoes...

Qing Pheasant's stunned look was noticed by Nuo Xia.

He laughed dumbly, and his heart felt light.

Speaking of which, when he first returned to Xihai, his height was 3.2 meters. After that, he grew for a while and then stagnated. It has been more than a month now and he has not grown at all.

Nuo Xia estimates that this is the limit of his height, and his current basic physical data is also fixed here:

Height: 3.40 meters.

Weight: 275 kg.

If he can ascend to the position of general in the future, there is no doubt that he will be the slender and tallest among the three generals.

After a few brief greetings, he and Qing Zhi said goodbye at the door of the building.

Not idle after that, Nuo Xia first went to the logistics department and got a house in the residential area behind the headquarters.

This benefit was actually something he could receive after graduating from the elite battalion and becoming a major general. However, he had been stationed in Xihai before, so naturally there was no need for this.

And now that he was left in the headquarters by his superiors, a place of his own was indispensable. After all, he was not married yet, so he couldn't stay in Taotu's house all the time.

The house is a two-story villa with an area of ​​more than 500 square meters including the garden. It is spacious yet exquisite, and the decoration style is quite to Nuoxia's liking.

He looked left and right and was quite satisfied, so he decided on the spot.

After seeing off the accompanying staff from the logistics department, and just as he was packing his bags to move in, he suddenly saw a familiar figure coming in front of the apartment next door——

Garp, who had just finished lunch, opened the door of the courtyard leisurely and burping with a shy stomach.

"..."

The two looked at each other through the fence and froze at the same time.

"Hahahahaha!"

Garp reacted first and burst into laughter, "Hey, hey, is there such a coincidence? Noxia! From now on, you and I will be neighbors!"

"...It's a bit of a coincidence, but I remember your previous residence, not here, right?" Nuo Xia was a little speechless, "When did you move here?"

He originally planned to take time to visit his neighbors in the evening and get to know each other, but he didn't expect it to be this old man. Well...it saved him some effort.

"The previous house was acquired decades ago, and it was too small..." Garp scratched his head, "It didn't matter if I lived alone before, but now, it's a bit crowded if I live there..."

What does this mean?

Could it be... Nuo Xia suddenly realized something and looked towards the front of the house along the cobblestone path of the Garp family's house.

I happened to see a little boy with black hair lying on the glass and looking here curiously.

It's Ace.

After not seeing each other for a few months, this little one has grown up a lot, at least he no longer has a pacifier in his mouth.

"Why does this little guy live with you?" Nuo Xia looked away and asked in confusion, "Where is Lieutenant General Zhizi?"

"I've been assigned to the new world. The situation there is getting more and more complex, and we need resourceful senior management. In addition, that kid Sakaski is good at fighting, but his personality is too reckless and violent, and it's easy to get angry when his brain gets hot. Above, someone needs to help him at this time."

Garp grinned, "And the only ones who can take care of these two things at the same time are Xiaohe and Zhizi."

Nuo Xia understood instantly.

"So before Lieutenant General Zhizi left, he entrusted Esto to your care?"

Nuo Xia rubbed her temples speechlessly and muttered in a low voice, "It's a shame that she can relax..."

"Huh? I heard it, you brat!"

Garp was furious and punched Nuo Xia on the head. "You are too young to look after others. Don't think that I can't take care of my children when I am old. I have a lot of experience in raising children and becoming talents!"

Parenting to be successful?

Nuo Xia, who was hit on the head by an iron fist but remained calm as if nothing had happened, suddenly twitched the corners of his eyes.

Well, you are indeed experienced enough in this area...

The original intention is to train future generations to become excellent navies.

As a result, his son became the head of the revolutionary army, his grandson clamored to become the Pirate King every day, and his godson became Whitebeard's son...

This education method may cause serious problems.

"Fortunately, Lieutenant General Zhizi is only temporarily stationed in the New World. He will eventually be able to come back and take over..."

Nuo Xia thought silently in her heart and stopped worrying about this topic. After thinking about it for a while, she lowered her voice a little and asked:

"Mr. Garp, do the Warring States General and Marshal Kong know Ace's identity?"

"I haven't said it yet." Garp shook his head, "It's okay to say that during the Warring States Period, Marshal Kong...sometimes I can't figure out his thoughts. It's best to keep Ace's identity a secret for now."

"I thought the same thing last time I saw Ace."

Nuo Xia glanced at the cute little boy with chubby cheeks behind the window, and said softly, "But then I thought about it carefully, maybe... making Ace's identity public is not necessarily a good thing?"

"Eh?"

Garp was stunned for a moment, then his eyes became thoughtful, "...What do you mean by this?"

"Positive publicity effect." Nuo Xiayi said simply, "Roger is the pirate who created the era of great pirates. Today, pirates are more rampant in the sea than in the past, and he is inseparable from it."

"But what if the world knew that his son actually became a navy?"

Nosha looked directly into Garp's eyes and said in a deep voice, "The headquarters and the World Government don't need to promote propaganda. The mere existence of "Navy Ace" is the best satire on Roger. It can not only attack those pirates who have dreams of so-called great secret treasures, but also increase the morale of our navy..."

"I understand what you mean."

Garp raised his hand to interrupt him, shook his head and said, "It's a good suggestion, but unfortunately, I will never adopt it."

"..." Nuo Xia was slightly startled, "Why? Wouldn't this be able to achieve multiple goals with one stone and make everyone happy?"

"But that kid won't like it!"

Garp pointed at the small figure behind the glass and grinned. "Publicizing it to the public will only make that kid criticized since he was a child. He will become an alien in the eyes of his peers and grow up in the shadow and exclusion." !”

"Why should innocent children bear the responsibility of the previous generation?"

"Nosha, let me ask you, if you were the blood of the Pirate King and became a navy, what kind of environment would you have lived in since you were a child? If you grew up in such an environment, would you really be able to become an outstanding and qualified soldier? Navy?"

"..."

Looking at Cap's piercing eyes, Nuo Xia fell into silence.

Having no father or mother in his previous life, being isolated and ostracized when he was young, and experiencing bullying and violence from his peers, how terrifying it is... He has experienced it himself, and naturally knows it very well.

"I see."

After a long time, Nuo Xia sighed softly and said to Garp, "It's because I didn't think carefully. Just pretend that I didn't mention what I just said. Just let the status quo continue and let the little guy..."

Looking at the glass, Ace had climbed up the window sill and was smiling silly and cheerfully at him. Nuo Xia was speechless, "Just spend your childhood happily and carefree."

Garp stood on tiptoes, smiled happily and patted his shoulder.

————————

All afternoon, Nuo Xia was busy cleaning the room and buying furniture.

When everything was done, it was completely dark. His hungry stomach growled and he immediately went to the restaurant, where he happened to run into a group of friends from the elite camp.

"Ehehe... Nuo... Nuo Xia?"

"Idiot, I'm going to call you Lieutenant General Noxia!"

When the old friends reunited, at first because of the huge difference in their identities, the other students, except Rosinandi, were still a little restrained.

But Nuo Xia was Nuo Xia after all. Infected by his friendly smile, the atmosphere quickly became warm and cheerful again.

Everyone talked about everything until eight or nine o'clock in the night, and then they said goodbye and left without finishing their thoughts.

Before parting, Luo Nandi secretly approached Nuo Xia alone and told him excitedly that he had completed registration and preparations and was about to participate in the graduation assessment at the end of the year.

"Great."

Nuo Xia hammered his chest hard and encouraged, "Work harder, little Rossi. With your strength, as long as you don't have stage fright, you will be at least a lieutenant colonel when you are awarded the title."

"It's not that exaggerated. Brother Nuo Xia, I, you, and that guy Xiliu can't compare..."

Rosinandi scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed, "I'm very happy to have a major. Oh, by the way, the investiture ceremony will be held when the time comes. Brother Nuo Xia, you must come and see it!"

"Don't worry, no matter how busy I am, I will still find some time."

Nuo Xia also smiled.

He watched Rosinandi and others wave away, and he was about to turn around and go home to rest, but at this moment, an extremely strong burning sensation suddenly came from the center of his eyebrows...

This is an early warning reminder for the special life card.

Nuo Xia's expression changed slightly, and she immediately opened the system panel and looked at the new screen reminder that popped up in the life card in the backpack column.

Among the six distributed cards, the one belonging to Bellemere was burning at a speed visible to the naked eye...

what happened?

Nuo Xia's eyes immediately turned cold. Didn't Bellmere already eat the Rust Fruit he gave her and become a Devil Fruit user?

Why would I encounter a life-threatening threat in a place like the East China Sea?

No time to think too much.

Seeing that the sky was dark and there was no one around, Nuo Xia immediately dodged into the woods behind the restaurant. At the same time, with a thought, he instantly activated the transmission function of the life card.

————————

East China Sea, Gargas Island.

This was originally an island with prosperous commerce and trade, but since it was jointly occupied by two pirate groups passing by three days ago, it has become an out-and-out hell on earth.

The pirates plundered everywhere and indulged their desires wantonly. Countless families were broken up, corpses were scattered everywhere, houses were burned down one after another, and the lively streets and alleys were turned into ruins...

It was under such circumstances that the warships of Branch 16 rushed here for emergency assistance, and a protracted battle broke out with the two big pirate groups.

The battle was extremely fierce. More than 200 of the more than 500 naval soldiers were killed or seriously injured.

If Bellmere, as a second lieutenant of the Navy, had not stopped the two pirate captains of the opponent alone and defeated them with difficulty in a hard battle that lasted for several hours, the number of casualties would have been at least doubled.

After the battle, the sky also darkened, dark clouds piled up, and light rain fell, as if in silent mourning for the heroic souls who died on the ground...

Under the rain, Bellemeier clutched his bloody shoulder wound and limped along among the ruins.

There was little time to bandage and heal her injuries. Before the rain became heavier, she had to do her best to work with her comrades in the army to rescue as many surviving people as possible from the ruins...

"Hey, Bellemere!"

A familiar sailor couldn't help but persuade her, "You have done well enough just now, go and have a rest, and leave the rest to us!"

"How can that be done!"

The girl with a maroon ponytail glared at the guy first, then grinned, "Don't worry, I'm fine... Come on, give me a shovel!"

"You guy..."

The comrades knew that she was stubborn and could not be persuaded, so they had no choice but to shovel the extra engineers and throw them away.

"Thanks!"

Bellmere laughed heartily, but when she turned her back, she couldn't help but gasp in pain. She gritted her teeth, rolled back her sleeves, picked up the engineering shovel, and joined the excavation and rescue team.

Even though she was seriously injured, she was still much more efficient than other sailors. Not only because she was stronger than ordinary people, she could also use the ability of the Rust Fruit to hit large metal obstacles. It is easily resolved.

After fighting for half an hour, she rescued more than a dozen trapped people from the rubble. She watched as the sailors carried them onto stretchers and sent them to the hands of medical personnel.

At this time, her physical strength had almost reached its limit, and everything in front of her had become a little blurry.

Almost all of them should have been rescued...

The girl sat down against the broken wall. Fatigue came over her like a tide, making it difficult for her to hold on.

Maybe it's time to lie down and rest for a while?

Her body gradually tilted unconsciously, and she was about to close her eyes and fall asleep. Suddenly, a loud cry of a baby suddenly reached her ears...
