Chapter 104 Are you lagging behind?
After returning to the headquarters, Bruch successfully got two days of vacation...
Two days... Bruch clutched the leave note in his hand tightly. He and Seng Guo had to work hard to get this.
He could have had fifteen days off.
However, because the troops in the headquarters are really insufficient, many people don't even have holidays.
Warring States was able to give him two days of leave because he had indeed contributed a lot to the headquarters recently.
"You should have a good rest these two days. The World Government's promotion order will be issued soon."
Bruch put the leave note in his arms, was stunned when he heard what Warring States said, and then asked:
"Promotion order? Who wants to be promoted?"
"Of course it's you!" Warring States said angrily.
"Me?" Bruch pointed to the tip of his nose, showing an expression of disbelief.
Then he thought of something and asked:
"Aren't things in Mefilia Kingdom messed up? Why are you still giving me a promotion?"
The Five Old Stars once told Sengoku that since Bruch successfully helped the Kingdom of Mefilia get rid of the revolutionary army, he would be given the opportunity to be promoted to lieutenant general.
But Mephilia's matter was just a cover for Long, and Bruch thought that this promotion had been ruined.
"I thought that was the case. After all, the World Government lost to the Revolutionary Army this time, but the Five Old Stars said that they would promote you to Lieutenant General. Could it be that your kid... is related to some big shot above?" Sengoku said half-jokingly.
It doesn't matter.
If it had anything to do with it, he was still here arguing about the two-day holiday for half a day.
All I can say is that the people above are mentally ill and abnormal...
Of course, this has something to do with the Warring States Period suppressing the Higanbana incident. If this incident reaches the ears of Wu Laoxing, he will probably be a major general in his life, let alone his promotion.
"By the way, you now have troops under your command, and your position is about to be promoted to lieutenant general. That can solve some of my troubles!"
"What's the trouble?" Bruhl asked.
Warring States handed a document to Bruch and said:
"This is a recent survey report from Shampoo Island. It shows that the number of pirates in the Shampoo Islands has increased sharply recently, and it is almost reaching an uncontrollable point."
"And the navy currently stationed in Shampoo Island is only a colonel. His strength and troops are not enough to deal with everything in front of him. Just because you have been promoted to lieutenant general, you are fully capable of guarding the Shampoo Islands!"
After reading the documents in his hand, Bruch let out a sigh of relief.
This shows that the number of pirates pouring into this Shampoo Land has indeed been increasing.
Moreover, the local gangs are also very rampant, and the entire Chambord Islands has become very chaotic.
"Is this the prelude to the beginning of an extremely evil era?" Bruch murmured to himself.
"What?" Seng Guo asked, not hearing what Bruch said clearly.
"It's okay. Let's go to Shampoo Land after my promotion order is issued. By the way..."
Bruch suddenly thought of the group of dwarfs wearing bubbles on their heads.
"What will happen if I accidentally beat up a Celestial Dragon in Shampoo Land..."
shock!
Warring States shouted: "You kid, if you don't want to be imprisoned in Impel Down City, stay away from that bunch of rubbish. Do you hear me?"
"Okay, okay!"
Bruch scratched his head, pretended to be distressed, and left Sengoku's office.
Sengoku was not surprised at all that Bruch might take action against the Celestial Dragons.
After all, he had a precedent of taking action against nobles. Compared with those nobles, the group of Tianlong people were even worse.
What he did was even more abominable.
However, when he attacked the nobles and the Warring States Period was able to suppress it, it was because some shady characters were involved.
If you take action against the Tianlong people, even with just a slap, you may be driven into the impel city...
"Oh, I hope Bruch won't be so impulsive!"
Sengoku sighed, took out a document from the pile of documents, and began to read.
Bruch lit a cigarette, blew out a smoke ring, and said to Kiora and Salo who were following him:
"You two, get ready. We will leave for Shampoo Land in a few days. Please don't overwork your brothers during these two days. In two days, you may not feel as comfortable as you do now!"
"What's wrong?" Kiora asked.
Bruch said calmly:
"In two days, I, or we, will go to guard the Chambord Islands together. The situation there..."
Handing Kiora the document Sengoku gave him.
"Look!"
Kiora took the document, read it roughly at a glance, and clicked her tongue:
"Are the pirates so rampant in Shampoo Land?"
Bruch smiled helplessly:
"It's just a troubled year, the future will only become more and more chaotic..."
After speaking, Bruch walked forward and finally said to himself:
"In less than half a year or so...Luffy will go to sea...the era of extreme evil is coming."
…
"Kiora, you are a mind fruit, not a burning fruit. Don't light fires at every turn..."
Bruch dodged the milky white fire pillar emitted by Kiora, and a bloody flame shot out, forcing Kiora back.
At this moment, the howling wind sounded in his ears, and Salo's burning iron fist hit him.
Bruch dodged and swung out his whip leg. Salo missed the attack and dodged back.
"Saro, how many times have I told you, you are Iron Man, not an assassin. Don't just punch and run away. You need hard steel, otherwise how can you use the power of this fruit!"
After saying that, Bruch flashed his fiery red wings, appeared behind the two of them in an instant, and punched them hard on the head...
Boom! Boom!
Two people with two big bags on their heads sat obediently in the center of the training ground.
Bruch stood in front of them and said.
"You two, one is using the superman type instead of the natural type, and the other is a warrior who insists on being an assassin. This is a mistake and must be changed!"
"Also...how is your practice of the Six Forms going?"
Hearing this, Kiora said: "I have learned the Shave and Moon Steps, but I am not very familiar with them yet."
Salo followed and said: "In addition to the moon step and shaving, I also learned the finger gun and iron block."
Both Bruch and Kiora looked at Salo, making him feel a little embarrassed.
After a while, Bruch took a deep look at Kiora and said:
"Maybe it's because of the fruit's ability, but I have to say that in terms of practicing the Six Styles, Saroo surpasses you, Kiora."
Is that so?
Kiora clenched her right hand slightly. When Salo first came to the headquarters, he was not as good as him in all aspects.
And his level of cultivation is not as good as his own.
Unexpectedly, it was a Devil Fruit that completely changed Saroo.
He was actually ahead of himself in practicing the six postures. And his physique has also improved greatly.
Are you falling behind?
Kiora felt a little unwilling...
