Chapter 58: Navy Headquarters (5-star review required)
...
"Beye, beye, beye, beye!"
"Bei le le le le, Ka-chan!"
"Really?! What took you so long to answer the phone?"
"Hello, hello, isn't this my little darling Qiqi? Why did you suddenly remember to call me? I just finished a meeting. Is there anything wrong? Or do you simply miss me too much?"
The Den Den Mushi opened its eyes and a middle-aged male voice with a strong voice came out.
The lieutenant commander and sergeant at the side all looked disdainful when they heard this familiar voice.
Brigadier General Mengya usually looks so serious and solemn, but I didn't expect that this old guy is so sultry behind the scenes. He even called her "little darling" in broad daylight, and it turned out that this charming woman got into Brigadier General Mengya's business through the back door!
Qiqi held the Den Den Mushi further away with some disdain and said:
"Brigadier General Monya, I am not your little darling! It is working time now. I am your subordinate and I have important matters to report to you. Please be careful with your words!"
"Oh my, I am so sad. Is my sweet little cotton-padded jacket going to leak? I am so pitiful."
"Hey, Dad! Can you please speak normally? I have something important to say now. It concerns my life. "
There was a roar coming from the Den Den Mushi!
"What? Who is that? Which bastard wants to take my precious daughter away? I will destroy him!"
"puff!"
Kiki's cry of "Dad" scared the major so much that he sprayed the water in his mouth onto the face of the sergeant opposite him.
The sergeant's eyes were dull and he even forgot to wipe the water off his face. He had always thought that this new female colleague was a mistress, but he didn't expect that she was actually Brigadier General Mengya's biological daughter.
No wonder they look a bit alike, and I thought they were a couple, but the character of this young lady is a bit too... wanton...
Both the major and the sergeant had a new understanding of the ladies.
Qiqi rested her hands on her waist, feeling speechless. She didn't understand how her mother could have fallen for this weird man in the first place. So when looking for a partner, one should do as she did, cast a wide net, focus on nurturing, and then slowly and carefully select!
She got straight to the point impatiently:
"Report to the Commodore, the bounty hunter 'Death' that the headquarters is looking for, who has recently become famous in the East China Sea, has appeared!"
"Oh?"
Brigadier General Meng Ya suddenly became interested and stopped talking nonsense. He said seriously:
"The people are at the base now, right?"
"Yes! He is right next to you now."
"Okay, wait a moment. I'll go find Lieutenant General He now. She was the one who proposed this matter. She was still asking if there was any news during the meeting just now. I didn't expect my precious daughter to bring me good news right away!"
Meng Ya said this and turned to walk towards the conference hall. He had just come out and hadn't walked far, so he quickly returned to the conference hall.
In the meeting room of the Navy Headquarters, the Vice Admiral and Brigadier General had already left. Marshal Kong had been very busy with Roger's affairs recently, and he hurried to Mary Joa to report on his work right after the meeting. Only the three core leaders of the Navy and two newcomers remained in the meeting room for a brief exchange after the meeting.
"That bastard Garp was absent from the meeting again! I haven't seen this guy since Roger was executed! The reason for his leave this time was even more ridiculous. He said he was going to the West Sea or the South Sea to visit distant relatives! Is this the time to visit relatives? What an old bastard."
The first person to speak was a middle-aged man with a black afro and a pair of frog glasses. He was banging on the table and complaining. This man was Admiral Sengoku, one of the most powerful admirals in the navy.
"Forget it, let him go out and relax. He has been chasing Roger for most of his life, and now it is finally over, but it happened in this way. He may be a little upset and want to be alone."
A lady in her 50s with many wrinkles on her face spoke. She was wearing a lavender shirt and tie, and her hair was not long and was casually tied into a ponytail. Her eyes were as clear and calm as a lake, and her face was kind.
"Xiaohe, you are just too gentle!"
"Cough cough!"
As soon as Zhan Guo finished speaking, he realized that he had forgotten that there were so many people watching him. His face suddenly turned red and he coughed twice in embarrassment.
"Humph, when Roger surrendered himself, we should have killed him directly at that time, knowing that he must have ulterior motives. It would have had the same effect if we executed him and displayed his body afterwards to serve as a warning to others. The World Government insisted on holding a public execution, and now the whole ocean is in turmoil. The number of pirates has skyrocketed, and our navy is already stretched to the limit and is completely passive! They caused the trouble themselves, and now they have the audacity to blame us. It's ridiculous."
A middle-aged strong man said with a dark face.
"Okay, Sakaski, complaining about anything now won't change what has already happened. Let's first think about how we should deal with the next wave of pirates!"
The Sengoku general said softly.
"Oh, what a headache! I'm so envious of Vice Admiral Garp!"
A 30-year-old wretched old man wearing sunglasses said, and then he took out a nail clipper and started trimming his nails. The purple-haired old man sitting upright with a serious expression saw this and started to scold him:
"As a righteous sailor, you are too lazy! Borsalino!"
Borsalino raised his hands and pretended to be very scared and wanted to surrender.
"Yes, yes, I get it. It's so scary. Teacher Zefa is still as strict as ever!"
Zhan Guo shook his head. Zefa has retreated to the rear to be responsible for training talents for the navy. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be promoted to the rank of navy marshal in a few years. Sakaski, Borsalino and Kuzan, these three powerful juniors are undoubtedly the pillars of the next generation of the navy, but if they are to be trained as successors, these three people have obvious shortcomings.
Sakaski is prone to temper and cruel methods. Sengoku doesn't mind that he is cruel to pirates, but Sakaski treats everyone equally, including his own soldiers.
Kuzan seems to be OK now, with a very positive attitude and a strong sense of justice, but he is a little impatient. He should not have been assigned to Garp's ship in the first place. He has learned nothing good from following that old bastard, but only some bad habits! As for Borsalino, well, let's not talk about it. This guy does what he is paid for, takes a step forward, and clocks in on time to leave work.
Zhan Guo rubbed his brows in pain, and suddenly thought of the brat who, in his eyes, was the most suitable person to succeed him as the Admiral of the Navy - Monkey D. Dragon. What was going on? What a worrying family!
Dragon rebelled against the navy, Roger turned himself in, Golden Lion made a scene at the navy headquarters, Roger was executed and revealed the great secret treasure, which opened the pirate era. This series of events made Sengoku so worried that he even had a few more white hairs.
"Hey~!"
He had thousands of words to say, but in the end, they could only turn into a helpless sigh.
