Chapter 61: Angry at Akainu (5-star review required)
...
In the silent conference hall.
"Oh? I was rejected. Can you tell me why?"
Vice Admiral Tsuru calmly picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
In fact, she had expected Gel's answer. The other party was obviously very familiar with the navy. Moreover, if he was really the son of a naval family, it would not be difficult for him to get a part-time job in the navy. Since he did not choose to join the navy at the beginning, he must have had some considerations. Of course, he would not change his mind just because she recruited him.
Gel's mouth curled up, feeling proud of his new achievement. Not everyone has the opportunity to be personally recruited by the big boss of the Navy Headquarters. Then he said what he had thought of a long time ago.
"How should I put it? I've been used to being free and undisciplined since I was a child. The navy has too many rules to follow, which are not suitable for me. Now I am free and can go wherever I want and rest whenever I want. I think it's good."
"After joining the navy, I will not only lose a lot of fun, but also have to attend various boring meetings frequently. If I take too many days off, my salary will be deducted. I won't even get bounties for killing pirates. Although I'm not short of money, why do you think I'm doing this?"
These words made He, Sengoku, Monya and Zefa all look stunned and they couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.
Is the treatment of our navy really as bad as you say?
"Crack!"
The nail clippers in Borsalino's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and the crisp sound broke the silence in the conference room.
"S~!"
Borsalino took a deep breath, and was extremely shocked:
Why do I feel that what this guy said makes a lot of sense! How scary! He actually sees things so clearly!
How much is my monthly salary now? If I were not a marine, I would be a pirate with a bounty of hundreds of millions. Let me say this first:
"Have you ever been kicked by a light?"
Then just kick them one by one, wouldn't that make money much faster?
I only work on those supernovas! They are weak but have high bounties, and the price-performance ratio is super high! I can work one day a year, eat one day a year, and I can go on vacation anywhere the rest of the time. The more I think about it, the more excited I am.
"Humph! This is simply nonsense! You did it for pleasure! What do you think of the justice of our navy? I thought you were a great man, but I didn't expect you to be so despicable! You killed pirates just to get the bounty? Shouldn't the reason for eliminating these pests be for the justice in your heart! For honor! For the maintenance of world peace and stability?"
Sakaski slammed the table with his big hand, which scared everyone. He yelled angrily at the Den Den Mushi, and the poor Den Den Mushi was trembling with fear.
As soon as he heard the voice and the tone of the voice, Gel knew who was howling without having to guess.
Putting aside some of his bad habits, from the perspective of the navy, Red Dog is undoubtedly a competent admiral. But Vice Admiral Tsuru and Admiral Sengoku didn't even start to scold me, so why did you jump out and scold me? Just because you are the only one who can bark like a dog?
How can I, a madman from Zuan, be afraid of you? Gel immediately responded:
"I have my own justice! I killed these pirates because they committed many evil deeds or simply for the bounty. I don't need you to teach me how to do things. I can put my words here today. When I kill people, I don't look at their identity, status, or occupation. I only look at what they have done! Your Excellency holds a high position in the navy, but if you take human lives lightly and do evil things that are intolerable to heaven, I will kill you without hesitation if I meet you!"
As Gel spoke, his aura suddenly exploded. Even the Den Den Mushi that imitated him felt a surge of primitive power erupting in its body. It became aggressive and powerful, and Sakaski, who was facing the Den Den Mushi, felt as if Gel himself was sitting opposite him and quarreling with him.
"you!!"
"What do you mean by 'you'? You have no respect for your elders. So many big guys here haven't spoken yet, so how can you have a say? You even slammed the table and stood up. You have no manners at all. Just shut up!"
Sakaski was so angry that his whole body turned red. He gasped for breath and his skin began to turn into dark red magma. The steaming hot air caused the temperature in the conference hall to rise rapidly!
"Asshole! Sakaski! What do you want to do? I've told you so many times, why are you still so impatient when things happen!"
Admiral Zephyr on the side immediately started to scold, and Sakaski, who almost lost his mind, calmed down and quickly withdrew the ability of the devil fruit from his body.
"Teacher Zefa, you are here too. Please teach him a lesson. He looks more mature than his age and is so impetuous. How can he accomplish anything great with this kind of personality?"
Zefa was also confused and didn't want to pay any attention to Gel.
"Hmph! I'll remember you!"
Sakaski gritted his teeth.
"Wow, wow, wow, no way? No way? A high-ranking admiral, the future backbone of the navy, has only this much tolerance?"
"General Sengoku, Vice Admiral Ahe, you all heard it. He threatened me in public! I'm not a pirate and there's no bounty on my head. I'm just an honest citizen. What reason does he have to attack me? Can he kill civilians at will just because of a moment of anger? Haha, is this what he calls justice? It's a good thing we were talking on the phone. If I were in front of him, wouldn't I have turned into ash by now?"
"You bastard! You really pissed me off!"
Unable to bite anyone, he could only rage helplessly.
"Sakaski! You should get out first. He's right! You really need to control your temper!"
Admiral Sengoku ordered in an unhappy tone, with a hint of disappointment on his face. With Sakaski's immature performance, how could he be the admiral of the navy or even become the marshal commanding the entire army in the future?
Alas! You are too young and need more practice.
"That's right, the general of the Warring States Period was right. A general should not raise an army in anger, and a general should not attack in anger. You don't even understand this most basic principle of being a general. I think you should go back to school and retrain. It's not just about training your muscles, you have to make up for your cultural studies as well."
Gel seized the opportunity and quickly finished off the opponent.
"Kouwaainai~ (How scary)"
Borsalino on the side said in a mean way, and it was unclear whether he was referring to the angry Sakaski or Gel's sharp tongue.
"You could shut up a little bit."
Vice Admiral Tsuru said to Den Den Mushi.
"Okay! Lieutenant General Ahe!"
Gel was also very considerate and stopped, and obediently shut his mouth.
"Humph!"
Sakaski's face turned pale, he snorted coldly and walked out of the conference room without looking back. The other party's mouth was really too poisonous. He couldn't scold him through the Den Den Mushi and he couldn't do anything. He was at a disadvantage. If he stayed, he would only suffer in vain. It would be better to take the opportunity to leave.
Zefa felt that he was also responsible for not teaching the students well. These outstanding young people carried all the hopes of the older generation of the navy. He nodded to Sengoku and Ahe, then followed Sakaski out, wanting to talk to him and give him some guidance.
