[comprehensive] red tide

Back in Marineford, apart from being able to sneak away for half a day after the high-level meeting on the first day, Polusalino, who was a general, was very busy for a long time.

Although he didn't need to be a general to handle the follow-up of the Muse incident, there were always some emergencies that made the Judicial Department helpless, and finally had to be thrown back to his desk.

The complexity of the events that can be kicked back into the hands of Huang Yuan is overwhelming.

When the dust finally settled, Huang Yuan counted the days with his fingers, but he didn't get a good night's sleep for nearly a month.

Regarding the new candidate of Qiwuhai, Marshal Sengoku did not know who to approach for a long time.

During this period, the headquarters held a round table meeting. At that time, several generals were not present. It was only later that I heard that the heavily guarded Marineford was actually broken into.

It is said that the uninvited guest was originally the security officer of the West Sea. After being expelled due to his reputation for being too cruel/violent, he somehow entered the Great Channel and has degenerated into a pirate.

Lafitte, who claims to be a crew member of the Blackbeard Pirates, sneaks into the Navy headquarters to volunteer for his captain, asking Marshall D. Teach to become the new Shichibukai.

After getting this news, Huang Yuan turned around and found the captain's information from the office file cabinet that Laffitte said:

Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach, a member of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the original Four Emperors, was unknown and disappeared in a night attack on Moby Dick some time ago.

Looking back now, the news Moby Dick released at that time was actually a smoke bomb to protect Nicole Robin, and the real culprit should be this ambitious black beard.

The navy has no doubts about Laffitte's request. You must know that Blackbeard is still unknown, and he will definitely do something earth-shattering for the position of Shichibukai, so as to surrender to the navy.

If his ability and ambition can be directly proportional, the wanted criminals who are now famous in the first half of the period will have a worrying end. The pirate camp will be chaotic first, and the navy will be happy to see it.

As for whether Blackbeard will provoke Nicole Robin, in Huang Yuan's view, it is not yet known who will win.

…………

The missing corner of Qiwuhai was suspended temporarily, and the navy side watched with cold eyes, waiting for the self-recommended Blackbeard to hand over the bargaining chips for the high position, while secretly searching for the whereabouts of Nicole Robin in the first half.

But it was strange, after the incident on the Muse, the figure disappeared into the air without any clues.

Time flies by inadvertently.

Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel took over the task of stationing a certain naval base near the calm zone, and set off to leave Marineford; in the Alabasta civil/war, the rookie pirate who really defeated the sand crocodile, Straw Hat Monkey D. Luffy, Gradually known to the world.

Within the seven routes, this year's newcomers passed through one island after another and began to gain fame.

The Reward Office of the Navy Headquarters issued an updated list of countless rewards, dead surgeon. Trafalgar. Luo, Eustace. Captain Kidd, fallen navy. Red Flag. X. Drake, North Sea magician. Basil .Hawkins…

Just like what Huang Yuan said earlier, this year there are really capable people coming out in large numbers.

However, the news of Nicole Robin among the influential figures in the first half of the newspapers and public opinion headlines gradually fell silent.

She had appeared and disappeared several times before, and although her traces were treacherous, she still left traces inadvertently. This time, the governments all over the country tried their best to find out the clues.

After that person disappeared in the ruins of the Muse, the situation was the same as in the past 20 years. After searching the whole world, there was no trace of it, as if he had never existed.

Slowly, Marineford also died down.

In the first half of the period, the situation was turbulent in recent days, the situation was changing rapidly, and the navy was distracted. Naturally, it was impossible to devote most of its energy to searching for a person whose whereabouts were unknown. We could only wait for her to appear again, or just disappear.

…………

Early that morning, Huang Yuan saw the latest information on his desk.

A thin piece of paper describes that the pirate ship Mei Li, which disappeared in the offshore waters of Gaya Island before, was found near Changhuan Island. The pirate group stayed in place for several days and set sail this morning.

Gently shaking the page on his fingertips, Kizaru immediately contacted General Aokiji who returned to the headquarters in the middle of the night last night...

According to Kuzan's recent itinerary, he passed through Changhuan Island on the way. In this way, the straw hat Luffy encountered the general of the headquarters, and was able to escape with his life. I am afraid that Kuzan let go for the sake of Garp and Alabasta. Is the other party going for a ride?

After all, Smoker the White Hunter is Kuzan's most valued junior.

Straw Hat Luffy is a very lucky boy~

After thinking for a while, Huang Yuan immediately put the matter aside, and then sighed, feeling somewhat annoyed——Kuzan is good at doing things, but depending on his mood, his ears will not be clean when he is here later.

The hidden things recorded in this report cannot be concealed from Marshal of the Warring States Period. Anyway, Kuzan is used to being scolded without pain or itching. Come on, pour some bitter water to relieve stress.

Huang Yuan, who thinks he is too kind on weekdays, is very sad about this.

The three generals in the headquarters, Aokiji is loose, and Akainu is too strict. Under the exclusion method, he can't blame the Marshal of the Warring States Period for finding him. As for the old friend of the Marshal, Karp, he is even more inconspicuous than Aokiji. The oil is almost the same, and it is impossible to expect him to appease the commander's anger.

…………

At noon, after dealing with several urgent matters at hand, Huang Yuan received a call from the Marshal's office, which seemed to be chosen at the time when he was free.

As soon as Huang Yuan entered the door, he saw the Marshal of the Warring States Period sitting on the sofa and sulking.

"Hey~ Marshal, didn't you put surveillance snails in my office?" He leaned forward with a playful smile, sat down slowly, picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a sip, and let out a sigh of relief, "I haven't seen you recently. To Mr. Cap."

Speaking of which, it was indeed a long time, and Kizuru hadn't met that naval hero very much. After returning from the Muse and his party, Lieutenant General Garp was absent from the high-level meeting. In the past few months, he has met several times, only at intervals. The time is a little far away, but he hasn't heard much about the recent secret operations.

"Don't mention that guy to me!" The Marshal of the Warring States' face was so dark that it couldn't be darker, and he didn't know what to think, and the veins on his forehead popped up, "Master and apprentice have the same virtue!"

"The people brought out are the same. They are obviously capable, but why are they all so stupid!"

Oh oh~ here it comes... Huang Yuan was silently lucky in his heart, and smoothed things over with a smile on his mouth, "Anyway, as long as you have the ability~"

He knew that despite the fact that Marshal of the Warring States Period was blushing with scolding, in fact, Aokiji was the most protective of the three generals, so at times like this, it was the safest thing to do.

"If you have the ability, you can't do it according to your mood!" Marshal Warring States suddenly put the teacup on the table, with a look of resentment on his face, "I let the pirates go in private, did you plan to go to a military court?!"

"The general didn't stay in the headquarters properly, and wandered outside all day long. He visited almost all of the seven routes in the first half... It's really a bad fate. If I knew it, I wouldn't have let him go to the West Sea to accumulate military merits."

The Warring States Marshal cursed and cursed, and for some reason he abducted to a place that sounded a bit weird to Huang Yuan.

"I haven't looked at anyone differently for so many years. I almost thought there was something wrong with him. In the end, I fell in love with someone and kept it in my heart for 20 years. But she was only eight years old at the time, right? Isn't that X fetish?! "

Unfortunately, the yellow ape who was holding the teacup was choked by the tea in his mouth for a while, coughed for a long time, then raised his eyes in a funny way, and said, "Age is not a problem, Marshal, the charm of a dead girl is boundless." what~"

As a result, his immediate superior suddenly fell silent, stared at him quietly for a while, with a look of suspicion on his face, "Tell me honestly, maybe you also—"

"Yeah - I'm old, Marshal, you are really overthinking." Huang Yuan shook his hand casually, then raised his eyebrows again, "Is there still no news? That girl can really hide."

"It's been like this for 20 years anyway?" Marshal Warring States snorted coldly, with a little hesitation on his face, as if hesitating for a moment, he slowly picked up the kraft paper bag that was placed on the table early in the morning, "Give it to Kuzan, by the way Tell him, be careful if you run around again, and I will send him to watch the gate of the deep sea prison."

…………

Walking out of the marshal's office, Huang Yuan put the file bag under his arm and slowly followed the instructions to find Qingzhi.

During the daytime, the headquarters office building is very lively, walking along the way, from time to time, he bumped into generals and sergeants in a hurry, he passed by those subordinates who stood at attention and saluted, casually nodded in return, his face was not happy, but he was still thinking about it Just now, Marshal Warring States vaguely said something else.

'Turn in a flying squirrel and a green pheasant. If there is any trouble again, the girl will die. '

Yeah—that's really strange... Huang Yuan was silently surprised in his heart, where did he show his flaws?Is he paying too much attention to that person's whereabouts recently, or...his words and deeds are not cautious enough to be seen?

Unknowingly, he had already stood in front of the colleague's office while he was thinking about it. Huang Yuan restrained his mind and rushed in without knocking on the door. Anyway, Kuzan was either sleeping or preparing to sleep. There was no one else in the office within the range of knowledge/perception .

"Kuzan—"

The person he was looking for was lying on the ground with his back to the door, covered with a general's cloak, and when he heard the voice, he lazily got up halfway, pulled up the fine-grained plaid blindfold, and then turned around, "Ah, what a rare visitor, why don't you Are you free to come over?"

While speaking, he yawned subconsciously, and sat cross-legged directly, "Huh? What's the matter?"

Huang Yuan didn't bother to say anything on the scene, so he just threw the file bag over there, walked to the sofa in the corner, and put himself in his usual position, "The marshal gave it to you, probably because the girl has news."

Only the news of that girl can make the Supreme Commander look hesitant with toothache, after all, she will cause the admiral to go crazy; although Aokiji has hidden his thoughts for 20 years, there are not no people in the headquarters who have guessed.

Counting his vague knowledge, there is also the shrewd Marshal of the Warring States Period, or Garp?The girl has been missing all these years, although Qingzhi secretly tried her best to find her, but on the surface it is still calm.

Now it is different from the past, the waves caused by that person not only stirred up the turmoil in the first half, but also affected the naval camp to some extent.

After thinking for a while, with a snort to himself, Huang Yuan slowly took out the tea set and started to make tea, "It's been several months this time, right? I don't know where to hide, it's really a little fox."

As soon as the words fell, Huang Yuan suddenly felt a chill emanating from his colleague, mixed with anger and murderous oppression, the temperature in the room plummeted.

Eh?After a pause, he raised his head strangely, but saw Qingzhi had already got up, walking towards the corner step by step, holding the paper roll in his hand so hard that his joints turned blue and white.

…………

Huang Yuan was stunned, quietly watching Qingzhi throw himself into the seat opposite him, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and remained motionless for a long time without speaking.

Until the yellow monkey almost misunderstood the bad news he got from the Marshal of the Warring States Period, the opposite Aokiji slowly took off his hand covering his eyes, casually picked up the roll of paper thrown by his side, and handed it over.

After receiving it in his hand, he unfolded it and took a look, even Huang Yuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Yeah - this is really..."

The photos printed on the paper roll look like candid shots from the angle, but the small article below is a manuscript of a certain magazine. This media, which specializes in publishing travel notes and food columns, always likes to use unknown travelers along the way. What I have seen and heard and my thoughts.

At this moment, the title of "Young Mother in a Corner of the Waiting Hall" in his hand came from this. The author who serialized in the travel column took pictures of the scenery and sent them to the magazine.

If the 'young mother' in the photo, described by the author, had a good conversation with the housewife sitting next door and exchanged parenting experiences with each other, if it wasn't Nicole Robin, this manuscript would have been published smoothly and was People forget it when they see it.

But it was such an unfortunate coincidence that this article fell into the hands of the Navy, and it should never see the light of day.

That person was still wearing a pitch-black cloak, without a hood, with his face half down, and the swaddle in his arms was tightly blocked so he couldn't see the baby's appearance clearly, but the corners of her mouth were smiling gently and her eyes were so thick that it almost overflowed. Joy, at a glance.

"So she hid and had a baby." With a tut, Huang Yuan carefully scanned the text below the photo, calculated the time, and couldn't help asking half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Hey~ Kuzan, you haven't touched her, have you? He raised his eyes while talking, and suddenly saw the face of his colleague, he immediately raised his hand as a sign of surrender, "I'm sorry, sorry, I made a slip of the tongue."

At this moment, Aokiji's breath was like a wounded beast, his hoarse voice contained an indescribable coldness, "I regret that I neglected to let her escape at that time, I knew this..." He raised his eyes in a daze while speaking, " At that time, it is time to kill her and swallow her skin and bones while the remaining warmth is still there."

Seeing the madness on the verge of getting out of control from the pair of eyes that came into his sight, Huang Yuan was slightly startled, and couldn't help but said, "Kuzan, calm down."

Aokiji slightly narrowed his blood-quenching knife-like eyes, staring at him with a half-smile, and after a long time, he calmed down the hostility that appeared and disappeared around him, lowered his tone, and said thoughtfully, " Polusalino, she is in that waiting room, where is her next destination?"

After looking at his colleagues for a while, Huang Yuan sighed softly, knowing that he couldn't be persuaded at this time and didn't want to persuade him, so he only gave the answer in a low voice, "The capital of seven waters."

The destination of the author of the manuscript is consistent, at least at the end of the article, the traveler mentioned that he still saw that person in a glimpse on the sea train leading to the capital of seven waters.

And that sea train is heading for the island famous for its shipbuilding industry, the capital of seven waters.
