Chapter 164 Elderly Amnesia
"Haha, that's great. By the way, little Gel, what do you think of Gion?"
Lieutenant General He suddenly asked. She was very worried about her sister's life-long affairs, fearing that she would become an older left-over woman. In this matter, Lieutenant General He was more like an old mother who was worried that her daughter would not be able to get married rather than an elder sister. So when she met a candidate she liked, she would always ask about it on behalf of her sister.
At present, her impression of Geer is that he is humorous, reliable, young and capable, has a sense of justice, and may also come from a naval family. Such an outstanding young man will be very pleasing to his mother-in-law no matter how you look at him.
"Her limbs are fine, her breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure are all normal. Oh, Aunt He, didn't I just tell you? Why are you asking again? Don't worry, Zhiyuan is fine. You are too concerned. Pay more attention to rest. It's best to go to the Navy Hospital for a check-up. I see that you seem to have some early symptoms of senile amnesia."
"Hehe, I'm fine, don't worry."
Seeing that Gel didn't understand what she meant at all, Vice Admiral He twitched his mouth and was too embarrassed to continue asking. In the era of free love, emotional matters still had to be developed by young people themselves.
"By the way, where's Douglas Barrett? Was he defeated by you?"
After returning from the phone call, Zhan Guo remembered this most critical issue at this time. He had been focusing on the personal safety of Zhiyuan and forgot about Barrett.
"Hoohoo!"
The little Den Den Mushi blew out a smoke ring in a deep and profound manner, and then slowly spoke:
"Although I really want to install this fork, you know, with my limited strength, there is no way I can beat a monster like that. I am lucky to be alive."
"Whenever I speak now, I feel severe pain from the wounds all over my body. I can only smoke to relieve the pain and stay conscious. I am struggling to make this call to you. Several of my friends are in a similar situation, but fortunately, they are not in danger of life. You don't have to worry too much about me."
After laying out the tragic battle situation, Gel exhaled a puff of white smoke and continued:
"Fortunately, that monster Barrett didn't want to fight anymore in the middle of the battle for some reason, and left us alone. Otherwise, all of us would have died here today."
"Thank you for your hard work. If you have any needs, please let me know. I will try my best to meet your needs within my authority."
Zhan Guo felt a little guilty after hearing this, and thought that he must not let such a righteous man shed blood and tears, so he decided to compensate Gel on behalf of the navy.
"It's not hard! For the justice in my heart, these are what I should do. However, in order to better enforce justice in the future, our strength is far from enough, so if possible, please give me a few devil fruits, Admiral Sengoku? There must be quite a few in the navy, right? Any ability is fine, I'm not picky!"
As soon as he mentioned the benefits, the Den Den Mushi on the table immediately became energetic. Sengoku and He looked at each other and both doubted whether this guy was really seriously injured.
"Um, let me take a look at the situation here. A few will definitely not work, but I should still be able to give you one or two devil fruits."
"Haha, then thank you, General Zhan Guo! Everything is for justice!"
As long as there are benefits, Gel will shout the slogan loudly!
"For justice!"
The words had already been spoken, and Zhan Guo had no choice but to agree to it.
"By the way, besides stopping halfway through the fight, has Barrett done anything else unusual or said anything else? This guy is an extremely dangerous pirate. Think carefully to see if you have missed any information."
Vice Admiral Crane at the side asked with a frown.
Although many strong men have some problems, big or small, and it is not excessive for them to do any strange behaviors, Ah He, who comes from an intelligence background and is cautious by nature, always feels that it is a bit strange for Barrett, a battle maniac, to stop fighting halfway. She does not want to miss any key points, and maybe she can analyze important information from them.
"Um, let me think about it..."
Geer secretly said, of course there is:
Barrett also said: Captain Gill, please take care of me in the future. We are going to grow bigger and stronger under the captain's leadership and create greater glory!
Cough!
"Oh, now I remember, Barrett thought we were also navy. Before he left, he said he was tired of his current life, so he decided not to be a pirate anymore. He hoped that the navy and the world government would cancel his bounty."
"Humph! Who does he think he is? Can he cancel the bounty just because he wants to?"
Zhan Guo's somewhat angry voice came from the phone.
"Yeah! I responded to him the same way at the time, and he threatened that if the World Government didn't cancel his bounty and someone disturbed his new life again, he wouldn't mind killing a few Celestial Dragons who dared to leave the Holy Land of Marijoa for fun, or stealing some Heavenly Golden Flowers when he ran out of money."
Gel made up the story on the spot, and after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but nodded to affirm his own nonsense.
"What! Did he really say that?"
Zhan Guo's eyes widened. He didn't expect Barrett to be so shameless.
"Why doesn't this sound like Barrett's tone?"
Vice Admiral He was somewhat suspicious.
"Well, that's roughly what he meant. I summarized it. Now it seems that the reason why he let us go is probably just to use us as a messenger. I hope I can pass on his message to the higher-ups when I go back."
Faced with the temptation, Gol did not feel guilty at all. After all, he was telling the truth. Barrett would be his younger brother in the future, and he really could not continue to be a pirate.
"It's a bit troublesome. Fortunately, Ahe asked about it. How could you forget to tell me such an important thing?"
Zhan Guo and He on the phone both frowned after hearing what Geer said.
"Is this matter important? Sorry, I just thought he was talking nonsense and didn't take it seriously at all. I think the Navy and the World Government don't need to pay any attention to him. Who would dare to attack the Celestial Dragons?"
"I think Barrett is just talking nonsense. He must be feeling unwell or has an emergency at home and needs to rush back. He also feels it's embarrassing to just leave like this, so he makes a few harsh words to scare people before leaving. Isn't this normal? Don't all these damn villains like to do this?"
"Besides, how can justice compromise just because of a few threats from pirates? This will only encourage the pirates' arrogance. I think we should ignore him completely. If Barrett really has the guts to kill the Celestial Dragons, let him do it! At worst, we can just issue the Demon Slayer Order to kill him!"
Ger said passionately.
There is indeed nothing wrong with what he said, but Zhan Guo and He frowned even deeper. This is not a trivial matter. Others may say this just to satisfy their own desire, but who is Douglas Barrett?
This extremely dangerous guy is really capable and dares to do this without considering the consequences!
