People in One Piece are so good-looking

"Candidate general?"

Zhizi took off his glasses in surprise and looked up at Nuo Xia opposite.

"I heard related rumors last month from Marie Joa, but I didn't take it too seriously. How could it be confirmed so quickly?"

The other people around him also cast surprised glances.

Yesterday was a small gathering at Nuo Xia's house, and today was a long-lost big party, held at Zhi Zi's house.

At this time, sitting around the dining table, in addition to Nuo Xia Zhizi's family, there were also He, Qing Pheasant, and Zefa who had specially taken time out to come from the elite camp to get together.

Quite lively.

"yes."

Nuo Xia took a sip of borscht, shrugged and said:

"To be honest, I was a little surprised when I saw Marshal Kong in the morning. After all, the Holy Land had no intention of setting up a substitute general. They always insisted on letting Mr. Garp fill the vacancy of general first."

"Who said that guy Garp refused again last month and asked for leave again? He hasn't come back yet."

Zhizi shook his head and stretched out a hand, "Where is the appointment document? Let us take a look."

Nuo Xia whispered a few words to Nami next to her. Little Nami immediately jumped out of the chair and rushed to her backpack. After rummaging for a few times, she quickly took out the file and held her head high, feeling very proud. The ground was handed to Zhizi.

"Na! Grandma Zhizi!"

"It's your father's honor, not yours. You smile so brightly."

Zhizi looked funny and scratched the tip of Nami's nose. The little guy didn't care, giggled and escaped, and went back to Noxia.

Nuo Xia smiled, ruffled her orange hair, and kissed her forehead as a reward.

The crane opposite also leaned on Zhizi's shoulder. The two old ladies opened the appointment document and read it together:

"...Lieutenant General Romanov Nosha, since he was promoted to Lieutenant General of the headquarters, he has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and shocked the sea. According to the evaluation of the Supreme Council of the World Government, he has the preliminary qualifications to become a general of the headquarters..."

"Therefore, after Lord Wu Laoxing reviewed it and the Navy Headquarters notified him, we reached a consensus and approved the appointment as follows."

"I hereby appoint Romanov Nosha, the original Lieutenant General of the headquarters, as the candidate for the senior general of the headquarters."

"This appointment will take effect from the date of issuance of the document."

"June 15, 1504 in the Haiyuan calendar"

"Supreme Council of World Governments (Seal)"

"Marshal Sora of the Navy Headquarters (Seal)"

…

"interesting."

Zhizi casually handed the document to Zefa next to him, "I estimate that you are not the only one to be promoted to general this time. Sakaski, Kuzan, and Porusalino are all involved."

"Eh?"

Aoki, who was gnashing his teeth on a piece of rib-eye steak, raised his head in surprise: "Do I actually get a share?"

"Nonsense, your generation must have been promoted together, there is no reason for you to be alone."

Zhizi said lazily: "Besides, the three of you are qualified in terms of qualifications and strength. Rather than saying 'actually have a share', it would be better to say that you were caught up and promoted together by this boy Nuo Xia. It's really a bit embarrassing... "

"..."

Qingzhi looked at her with a constipated expression, and after a long time he wondered: "Then why do I only see Nuo Xia's letter of appointment? I've been back to my headquarters for two days, and I haven't seen Marshal Kong summon me at all."

"That's the subtlety of politics."

He held up the tea cup and said leisurely: "If nothing unexpected happens, the appointment documents for the three of you will be issued together in a month at most, but it will definitely be a step later than Nuo Xia."

The meaning of world government is obvious.

Naturally, the establishment of the three generals will not change. There will only be three vacant general positions in the future. Nuo Xia is determined to occupy one of them, and he will be promoted as an absolute core force.

As for the remaining two positions, the attitude is a bit ambiguous.

Both Tsuru and Shibako agree that the World Government will set up four general candidates at once, and none of Kuzan's three people will be left behind.

But who will get the position of general depends on the merits and military exploits of the next few people. They choose the best, deliberately trying to create a big pie first and let them compete with each other.

"Is this so..."

Qingzhi scratched his head, "Have to compete with Porusalino and Sakaski for the other two positions? I always feel so stressed..."

Noxia is better.

Lead the way without any competitive pressure.

At this moment, Qing Zhi once again felt the unevenness of the world.

But then again.

It's a good thing that Nuo Xia took the first step. Only a ghost is willing to compete with this monster on the same stage...

"That's amazing, Noxia."

Zefa also finished reading the document at this time. He heard that Nuoxia was back and took time out from the tedious teaching affairs of the elite camp to attend the meeting. He shook his head and said with a smile:

"I have always been proud of myself as the youngest admiral in the history of the navy, but now it seems that in a few years, this title will be handed over to you."

At first, he was known as "Black Wrist" and was famous throughout the sea. He made great military exploits at a young age and became a general when he was only 34 years old.

And now.

Nosha is only 23 years old, but he has already achieved such achievements, and has been established as a general candidate by the World Government.

After a little bit of qualifications and a few years of proficiency, even the most conservative estimate is that when promoted to general, he will probably be thirty years old at most.

It can't be compared.

Zefa looked at his most proud disciple with emotion on his face. He felt a little bit disappointed at being surpassed by his younger generation, but more importantly, he was proud to see his disciple excelling in the competition.

"Well, cheers!"

He laughed and stood up, raising the filled wine glass:

"I'll have a rest today! For the sake of Nuo Xia and Kuzan's safe return, and for the sake of these two brats, they finally became candidates for generals and can carry the future banner of our navy from now on!"

My letter of appointment has not been issued yet, teacher, if something goes wrong, it would be so embarrassing...

Qing Zhi grimaced, but everyone stood up with a smile. He also quickly put down his knife and fork, filled his own glass, and stood up.

Bang!

In the crisp collision sound, the wine glasses hit each other, and the hops splashed and rolled.

"cheers!"

————-

The alcohol content of the beer is not high.

But since it was a big gathering that was rare in a long time, everyone was in high spirits, drinking and chatting. The dinner lasted for more than two hours.

Towards the end, not to mention Kuzan, even Zefa's face was glowing red and he was so drunk that he couldn't open his eyes.

Nuo Xia was also slightly drunk. Although he had the best capacity for drinking, he actually didn't like the state of blurred consciousness when he was completely drunk. However, the teacher was happy and simply drank with him.

In the meantime, I also tried to break down the wine directly in the body.

However, only the water part was completely decomposed, and pure alcohol was simply an insulator. If he didn't do this, he would have completely absorbed it without even touching the ground.

He didn't drink much. After the table was cleared and Tina helped bring a stack of thick documents over, she put on her glasses again and started reviewing them at the edge of the table.

The chief of general staff of the headquarters is very busy after all.

Her marking speed was extremely fast, and her writing was flying. In just a moment, half of the thick pile of documents was missing. But at this moment, her pen suddenly paused and her brows furrowed deeply.

Zefa and Qingzhi were arm-in-arm, drunkenly talking to each other on the sofa, not looking at them at all, but Nuo Xia noticed her expression and walked over on her own initiative.

"What's wrong, Lieutenant General?"

He looked up at him without hesitation, sighed, turned the document around, and threw it over.

"Over the North Sea, the Don Quixote family's actions are getting bigger and bigger."

He rubbed his brows tiredly: "Almost most of the underground gangs in the entire eastern sea area of ​​​​Beihai are under their control. Various arms transactions have become more and more frequent, and they have even begun to interfere in the political situation of neighboring countries. This has reached a point that the headquarters cannot ignore. To the point where we have to start thinking about removing it.”

"Then just remove it."

Nuo Xia shrugged indifferently, "It's just a Don Quixote family...what, lack of manpower?"

"Well, the manpower of this department is really tight recently."

He took a sip of tea, managed to cheer up, and said helplessly:

"A few years ago, when Doflamingo had not yet gained power, it would have been easy to say, but now the Donquixote family, even the general lieutenant general of the headquarters, cannot completely eradicate him."

Nuo Xia understood clearly.

Doflamingo's future strength will naturally be very strong. The Thread Fruit can be developed and awakened. Among all the Shichibukai of that generation, he is estimated to be second only to Hawkeye and Bear.

And now Brother Ming is estimated to have at least the same combat power as the Lieutenant General of our headquarters.

In addition, the Don Quixote family has a huge influence in the North Sea and has luxuriant branches and foliage. The home field advantage cannot be underestimated. Even if some veteran lieutenant generals of the headquarters go to pursue them, they will not be able to gain favor at all.

So, let’s do the math…

"How about we let..."

As soon as Nuo Xia tried to start, He was decisively interrupted:

"no!"

Perhaps sensing her gaffe, she paused, looked at Nuo Xia, and softened her tone:

"You are now one of the strongest combatants in this department. Nuo Xia, asking you to go to the North Sea for such a small matter is a bit overkill."

"Furthermore, you just had a fierce battle with Kaido for five days not long ago, and you just rushed back to the headquarters last night. It was already hard enough, and I shouldn't let you be tired any longer."

"Didn't Marshal Kong give you a month's leave? Don't worry about it. Stay at the headquarters to rest and spend time with your family." He said in a deep voice, "I have already decided that I will make this trip myself. .”

"...that, Lieutenant General He."

Nuo Xia couldn't find the opportunity to interrupt at all. He could only wait for the old lady to finish speaking in one breath before he raised his eyes and said:

"I originally wanted to say that it would be nice to let Kuzan go for a trip. Anyway, that guy didn't give me a day off. He just stayed idle at the headquarters and was idle..."

"..."

"..."

He fell silent, his eyes twitching slightly, and he looked at Nuo Xia. The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became a little awkward.

"Ahem, just kidding."

Nuo Xia laughed, helped to smooth things over, and changed the topic, "But if it's just because of these, there is no need to react so much. This is not like your temperament. Or, you don't want me to run away. Well, is there actually another reason?"

I originally thought that this kid was a little drunk and could hide it, but was it still visible...

He sighed softly in his heart, and after a moment of silence, he nodded and said:

"That's right, Doflamingo's status is a bit special, and he can only be captured alive. You are good at everything, but you are a bit too jealous of evil. I'm afraid that you will be too harsh, and I can't help but give him to him on the spot... …”

"killed?"

Nuo Xia pouted: "Although I do behave like this, I still understand the overall importance of the situation. Since this department only wants to capture people alive, then I will... Hey, hey, what is this look? Don't look like you don't believe people. You look like that, Lieutenant General He!"

Crane snorted.

Do you know the overall importance?

I believe you are a genius.

When he was still a young recruit, he dared to directly slaughter William, who was of noble blood. According to Porusalino's report, even if he tried his best to dissuade him, he could not stop him.

This stubbornness has continued since then. Over the past few years, tens of thousands of pirates have died at the hands of Noxia. No matter how much the bounty is or how special their status is, few of them can survive to board the impel city. escort ship.

in addition.

The murder of Sophia, which has shocked the world recently, although the World Government skipped the headquarters and judged Bucky the Clown as the perpetrator, Mr. He felt that this matter was too deja vu, and he was afraid of the guy in front of him. It's inseparable...

"I mean it, Lieutenant General."

Nuo Xia felt uncomfortable being glanced at by the old lady, and she spread her hands and said:

"The main reason is that killing that guy without saying a word will hurt someone's heart... Well, forget it if you don't believe it, then just follow my original proposal and let Kuzan make this trip. You are The Chief of General Staff of this headquarters is already quite old, so he went all the way to Beihai just in case..."

"I'm not old."

The old lady, who was about to turn sixty, wrinkled the tip of her nose and glared at Nuo Xia, but she also pinched her chin in thought, "But it would be better if Kuzan went and followed..."

Brubru!

The urgent sound of the phone suddenly rang, interrupting her thoughts.

"Speaking."

He picked up the phone, and the voice from the other end was Sengoku's: "Xiaohe? You are at Zhizi's house, is the party over?"

"It's over. Why, I called you before and you didn't come. Now you want to join? It's too late."

Crane said angrily.

"I can't help it, I'm too busy."

Warring States sighed, "Isn't that boy Nuo Xia drunk? Let him answer the phone. Suddenly there is a temporary task that needs to be handed over to him."

Um?

Temporary duty?

Nuo Xia answered the phone in confusion, and heard Warring States on the other end of the phone speaking helplessly: "I told you not to be angry, Nuo Xia."

"In the Kingdom of Akaya in the North Sea, the prince and two princesses are returning from the Holy Land and need to be escorted by the headquarters. Originally, I just planned to randomly assign a lieutenant general to deal with it, but..."

Having said this, Warring States seemed a little bit embarrassed to say it, but he still sighed and continued, "But they are all your fans, no matter what, they all named you to escort them..."

ha?

Nuo Xia was stunned for a moment, and looked at He He with a strange expression.

Isn't this a coincidence?
