Chapter 243
Great route,
On the deck of Battleship.
"Roman, look at this."
Just and honourable Nami who came out of the captain's room, which is Roman's room, raised the newspaper in his hand.
As Marine's'welfare', everyday all has a newspaper delivery bird to deliver the newspaper on time to ensure that there will be no embarrassment of'information' delay.
"Marine Headquarters Roman Captain graduated from the training camp with the first result. After joining Marine, he led 211 teams and arrested ten notorious Pirates in just half a month: respectively It's'Plague Pirate''Smash Pirates'·····"
Nami pointed at the bottom of the newspaper while reading.
"Experts commented: "The first time I went to sea, it perfectly demonstrated the power and justice of Marine, and it is undoubtedly another Marine star gradually raised."
This· ····
Nami closed the newspaper and looked towards Roman suspiciously.
"Isn't this the boast that you bought the newspaper? It sounds like a third-rate novel as false, and the flattery is too nauseous..."
"We are familiar with each other. If you say nonsense that I will count you as slanderous."
Roman spread out his hands helplessly, "Although I did have such a plan, but considering Marine’s reaction finally Give it up. I'm going to obediently and honestly take the route of accumulating military merit and promotion, launching a public opinion offensive or something..."
If it instead caused the dissatisfaction of Marine's senior management, wouldn't it be self-defeating?
After all, Roman’s real “backer” at Marine’s top level is Garp, the other ambiguous precognitions, Kizaru, the water-drawing emperor, Akainu, don’t dare provoke, and the impartial Sengoku.······ How could playing clever be able to hide these people.
"So you really have this plan?"
Nami opened a new newspaper again, "After breaking Pirate, Roman Captain led his Marine to help Varen. In the town of West Asia, the "Phantom" Klein and his three Pirates, who had been rewarded 99 million Beli after one month of going to sea, were killed on the spot. It once again demonstrated Marine's determination and will to maintain the peace of the sea."
"It is reported that in order to protect civilians during the battle, Roman Captain did not hesitate to use his body as a shield..."
"hey hey hey, you have eaten and slept together these two days. Even training. It’s deserted, how could I have time to put what just happened in the newspaper?” Roman took the newspaper from Nami's hands, and made Nami blush with the explicit words. If he didn’t consider defeating Roman, he would immediately stage a'domestic violence scene'. .
"And—"
Looking up and down Nami in a circle, Roman tsk tsk shook his head.
"What kind of civilian you are, if your shortcomings were not too obvious, your attack power would have surpassed Marine Commodore."
········
"Well, then why are the newspapers in the past few days all reporting...singing praises to you?"
Faced with Nami's question, Roman touched his chin.
"I generally have a guess--"
——————
When Battleship returns to Marine headquarters, as Roman expected, The dock was already crowded with a group of reporters.
"Roman, this..."
Nami is of course not a shy character, but just and honourable standing at the Marine headquarters, facing a group of reporters and Den Den Mushi. ——This is a bit of a test of psychological quality. After all, Nami’s previous'personality' is still the wanted Pirate...
"Don't panic,"
Follow As the Battleship slowly drew to the shore, Roman gave Nami a little lightly.
"Follow me, just take a photo."
When Roman said that, Nami directly took his arm, and then showed a splendid view to Den Den Mushi of the port reporters Smile.
The coat is fluttering, the sunshine is fortitude; the self-confidence is flying, the smile is like a flower;
The two stand together.
Ah this--
This is a serious military interview, not an official announcement...
"Boss, is this appropriate?"
Facing Polkin's whispered reminder from behind, Roman waved his hand.
"Don't panic, it will be more topical."
He said indifferently: "Don't people like to dig into the love life of heroes?"
"Flesh and blood, flawed heroes will make people feel more cordial."
What's more: the young and frivolous is the most convenient'personal design'.
"·····also."
Polkin was nodded. As for the Iscar Commander on the other side, he just glanced at Nami enviously, and silently blessed each other .
Sure enough, the men on the sea shouldn't give them a chance to hesitate, take it first! !
"Roman Captain, please look here—"
As soon as I got off the boat, the blink of Den Den Mushi's eyes for the camera sounded, and Roman generously let the reporter take pictures While guarding Nami carefully, Marine’s iron and juvenile tenderness was vividly and thoroughly displayed.
"Major Roman, who is this?"
As Marine Captain who appeared strongly a month ago, Roman’s very recognizable face has already been engraved on reporters. In his mind, but who is the girl next to him with the arm in arm, the school officer?
"This is Marine Headquarters Second Lieutenant Selk-Ann, training and fighting with me, the closest companion..."
It's really close enough, as long as the eyes are not The blind can see the relationship between the two. But:
"Lieutenant Ann is wearing a major's coat, right?"
Faced with the hesitant words of a reporter, Roman was definitely nodded.
"Yes, it's my coat."
"My own is hers, and hers is mine! I and Lieutenant An are not distinguished from each other,-we are all Her, let alone a coat?"
——————
"Hey, it’s nice to be young."
In Sengoku’s office, Faced with the emotion of Vice Admiral Tsuru who put his gray hair in a simple ponytail to his shoulders, Sengoku is a dissatisfied patted table.
"It's a nonsense!"
"I kindly set him as Marine's'example'! He's good, just and honourable with his girlfriend, not to mention, but also to represent Marine The Glory Coat is casually worn by others..."
"What do you know?"
Vice Admiral Tsuru turned his head and cast a white look and sat behind him in Fleet Admiral position, even Sengoku was sitting very angry.
"This shows that the little fellow values his girlfriend more than the so-called glory. Is this kind of love hidden in the informality, you fools learned it?"
"I·····"
I have to learn well, so I won’t pay it back until now——
Sengoku carefully reflected on it for 0.1 second, Still think that Marine glory should be the first.
No way, this has been his creed for several decades in his life.
"Anyway, let that little fellow come over and see me right away."
"I don’t want to talk about the problem of my own butt, now I just bring Hai··· girlfriends into Marine, really When CP0 is able to hide the sky with one hand? We Marine don’t have any source of intelligence of its own!"
But with a group of dejected pirate captains and cadres being escorted to the Battleship, they slowly drove into the harbor from behind , The captured dozen Pirate Ships docked aside, and Sengoku's face gradually softened.
Anyway, Roman's'business' capability is definitely the existence of Marine Peak. If there were more people like him, I was afraid that the entire sea would be swept away and the trees would dare not go into the water.
"What a pity, what a pity..."
Fleet Admiral Sengoku put his hands on the table and said with emotion, "Why was it broken by the brat of Garp's bastard?"
"·····You don’t like to hear this Garp."
As Tsuru, who joined Marine at the same time as Sengoku, Garp, and Zephyr, to his own few friend'Can't be familiar.
"What is bad? Everyone is just pursuing their own'belief'."
——————
" no no no, the result of such a battle is the result of the blood and sweat of all the officers and soldiers of our 211 detachment."
I have never seen a pig run, at least I have eaten pork. As a person in the era of the information explosion in the past, how to say'sounding' words is already an instinct. Even Roman can easily deal with reporters' questions.
Faced with the question of'Why don't other Marines have such rich results', Roman took out'Indeed, fruit ability'.
"It’s not that my strength surpasses my colleagues, it just happens that the fruit ability is good at'tracking'."
"Everyone knows that our Marine has a strength far surpassing Pirate, but the sea is like this. It’s vast, so that the rats in the gutter have a place to hide..."
"Roman Captain, then what fruit power are you?"
As for this kind of problem , Roman took Nami forward and waved his hand with a smile.
"Military secrets, no comment."
·····
"Is this major really just coming out of the training camp? "
Waiting for Roman and the others to walk into Marine headquarters, a group of reporters looked at each other in blank dismay. Is this like a Battle Madman who is not in the world? On the contrary, he is like an experienced diplomat. But at this age, the opponent must have both strong battle strength and free-hand demeanor...
Total impossible. Those captured Pirates are fakes, right?
It can only be said that genius is extraordinary.
——————
"Roman Captain, so brave!"
When Roman came to Fleet Admiral's office, Sengoku's head and face was the one from Sengoku. Huh and Haoshoku Haki oppression! But Roman:
He didn't panic at all.
This is of course not because he knew that the other party was about to be laid off, but:
"I also helped you build up momentum and set you up as a new Marine'example' ! As a result, you actually showed up in front of the reporters with your girlfriend, Carefree."
Suddenly, there was a wave of envy and hatred in Sengoku's heart. ——If I had such means and courage back then, there would still be what it is now...
"cough cough, Fleet Admiral Sengoku."
Roman pointed to Most of the reports on the table were written by Iscar, but there was a paragraph added by Roman at the end.
"Lieutenant An eats the'recording fruit' and can record the Devil Fruit ability of others..."
Anyway, Roman wrote like this, as for others to believe or not?
That's not what Roman cares about.
"Such a perfect fruit ability, once developed, is bound to be a great help for our Marine, and must be firmly controlled in our hands! For this reason, even if you sacrifice hue, it is incumbent!"
········
You sacrifice a hammer! ! I think you are clearly enjoying it!
However, Sengoku looked at the report in hand seriously. Not only Iscar and Roman’s, but also the information from his “undercover” in the 211 squadron.
This girl is called'Selk-Ann', and her actual identity is the Navigator'Nami' of the Straw Hat group. Indeed, as Roman said, she has a variety of Devil Fruit abilities, just performance Lightning, wind-surging, treatment, etc. came out.
Each is very precious to Great Influence like Marine! Such battle strength ·····
"Okay, but I want to remind you, Roman Captain-or Roman Saint."
"I will retire soon . And the new Marine Fleet Admiral, I may not be so'reasonable', when the time comes -"
"Don't worry, I will communicate with Fleet Admiral Sengoku's successor."
Isn't it Akainu? What are you afraid of?
Although Akainu believes in'complete justice', after so many years of Admiral's work, no matter how stubborn people are, they have become flexible. Otherwise, if you encounter deserters in the war at the top, you will not have the leisure to persuade the opponent to go back and fight:
When you encounter any normal army in the previous life, you will be killed on the spot in the face of deserters! Who is still talking to you?
After Akainu takes over Fleet Admiral, his main energy will become wrangling with Gorosei. There will also be air traffickers like Roman, a'Marine pacesetter' who keeps arresting Pirate? And Roman also has a Celestial Dragon skin.
So Roman didn't panic at all. This is the benefit of the'system'. ——Not Pirate's style of throwing up a punch without a decision.
However, speaking of Akainu····
"Then, Roman Captain!"
Sengoku's serious voice interrupted Roman's thinking.
"According to your military merits during this period, I: Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku, here I will raise your military rank to Commodore!"
"I hope you can continue to work hard for the world Peace and the tranquillity of the sea give one's share of strength."
"Yes!"
As Roman took over the coat representing the general by the attendant next to him, it was finally I got a ticket to watch the'Punk Hazard Duel'.
