Chapter 426 Borrowing 1 Item

On the refugee ship
A young couple who had just survived a disaster knelt on the ground hugging each other tightly, crying with joy.
"Great, we're still alive!"
The woman was holding a newborn baby in her arms. Just now, they thought they were going to die. When the disaster struck, the couple instinctively protected the baby in the middle.
At this time, no one knew what happened, but the baby, feeling very uncomfortable being sandwiched between his parents, started crying loudly.
"Thank you so much! Lord Spandine! You are the savior of our family of three!"
The couple knelt in front of Spandine, holding the baby and kowtowed to thank him.
"Yes! Lord Spandine! You are simply a living Buddha!"
The other people who were rescued also ran over to salute and express their gratitude.
This sudden close relationship between the military and the people made Spandine very uncomfortable.
"Okay, okay, that's enough, no need to thank me! That's enough, make way! Make way!"
Spandine looked reluctant, thinking that if I hadn't intercepted the shells, I would have been dead. Do you really think I want to care about your life or death? My own life is the most important.
The baby's crying made Spandine very annoyed. He lowered his head and glared fiercely at the baby in the woman's arms, intending to scare it. Unexpectedly, the little guy was not afraid but giggled. He also stretched out his chubby little hands and grabbed Spandine's beard.
"You kid! Let go!"
Spandine stubbornly refused to cry out in pain.
"Sir! You are this child's great benefactor and noble person. This kid hasn't been named yet. Could you please give him a name and bless him to grow up safely?"
"hiss!"
Spandine touched his chin where several hairs of his beard had been torn off, and responded without thinking.
"Since the child is so naughty, let's call him Ge Er! Naughty children are healthy and will surely grow up smoothly."
"Thank you, Lord Spandine, for the name! Thank you!"
The couple thanked him repeatedly.
Having satisfied his own bad taste, Spandine also showed a satisfied smile.

"Crack!"
Sakaski angrily crushed the telescope in his hand.
"Damn it! Why is that guy on the shelter ship? Why doesn't he just get blown to death together with him!"
Sakaski couldn't help but frown, realizing that the problem was becoming a little troublesome.
Originally, they would have just blown up the refugee ship. The Five Elders would have understood the principle of cutting the grass at its roots, and they would not have held on to such a small matter.
But now, if he disregards orders and acts on his own, he will fire at the commander-in-chief of the operation, which almost leads to the accidental death of his colleagues.
These crimes are serious and can be dealt with directly by military law.
Therefore, once the charges are proven, he might be able to avoid being sent to a military court due to his high position, but demotion and suspension are also inevitable. The same goes for a naval officer like himself in the face of power. After all, even a naval marshal has no face in front of the Five Elders of the World Government. However, all the soldiers on this ship will probably be sent to the execution ground.
Especially when he thought about the fact that it was Spandine who reported to the Five Elders of the World Government, Sakaski felt more and more headache. These disgusting guys in the CP department were incompetent, and their ability to tell tales was beyond doubt. They were good at fanning the flames, making false statements, and exaggerating.
"hateful!"
I have not yet led the navy to kill all the pirates on the sea! My plan cannot be disrupted! My justice cannot be hindered by a mere villain!
"Herald Soldier!!"
Sakaski shouted loudly after making his decision secretly.
"Here! Lieutenant General Sakaski! Please give the order!"
"Gudong!"
Everyone knew that this lieutenant general had a notoriously hot temper and was extremely harsh towards his subordinates. Those who charged too slowly during a battle with pirates would be punished and demoted for fear of the enemy, and those who retreated would be directly charged with desertion and punished on the spot.
Seeing Lieutenant General Sakaski who was obviously furious, the messenger couldn't help swallowing.
He was very scared to hear that Vice Admiral Sakaski would directly order to continue bombarding the refugee ship in a rage. Then everyone on the ship would certainly not be able to escape responsibility. Killing the commander was a capital crime!
"I want to borrow something from you!"
Sakaski said in a deep voice.
"Please speak, Lieutenant General! Is there anything I can do for you, Lieutenant General?"
The messenger was puzzled, but when he heard that he was not ordered to bomb the refugee ship, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
"I want to borrow your head for use!"
Sakaski slowly picked up his sword and spoke in a cold tone.
"Um... Lieutenant General? What does that mean?"
"Shh!"
"Ah?"
Before the messenger could react to what was happening, he saw a flash of cold light before his eyes, and then his consciousness began to blur until it disappeared completely.
"choke!"
Sakaski sheathed his knife and spoke in a low voice.
"I'm sorry, justice sometimes requires some sacrifice, and that person could be you or me. Don't worry, I will allocate a living allowance from my salary every month to your family! I guarantee that they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives."
...
"Lieutenant General Sakaski? This! What is this?"
The sailors on the ship also noticed the situation here, turned around with a look of surprise and asked.
"Pass it on. The messenger mis-transmitted the military order and almost caused an irreparable mistake. He has now been punished by our military law. As the commander of this warship, I also have an unshirkable responsibility. The rest of you were just following orders and will not be held accountable this time!"
Sakaski announced loudly.
"Yes! Lieutenant General!"
Everyone saluted solemnly and shouted loudly.
Everyone knew that they had just fired at the commander-in-chief of this operation, which was bound to cause huge trouble. Now the superior and an unlucky guy had taken the blame for everyone, and everyone felt sympathy and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Adjutant, bring his head and the whole story to our commander-in-chief! I will hand over the command and wait for the higher-ups to deal with it. The rest of the Demon Slayer Order will be handed over to you!"
"Yes! Lieutenant General!"
After saying this, Sakaski walked towards the cabin without looking back.
In the adult world, interests are most of the time the strongest bond, and no one cares whether the messenger really delivered the wrong order!
...
O'Hara
The entire island was covered in relentless artillery fire.
In the woods, the beasts fled in panic, only to find that intensive artillery bombardment was everywhere! There was no safe place on the entire island. Several of the second brothers rushed into the sea of fire without knowing where to go. They wailed a few times and fell to the ground, emitting bursts of barbecue aroma.
A little girl was running forward desperately without looking back.
Facing fear and helplessness alone, little Robin can only use the methods taught by Sauro to cope with it.
"Alright, hahahaha! Alright, hahahaha!"
But little Robin found that this laughter didn't seem to have any effect except making him look a little silly.
"what!"
Just as she was stunned, a shell fell from the sky about ten meters in front of her, and the shock wave generated by the explosion instantly blew her to the ground.
Robin did not dare to stop. She ignored the pain in her body. Just as she was about to get up, she saw a big tree in front of her that was broken by a cannonball falling towards her with a groaning sound.
"ah!"
Unable to dodge, Robin subconsciously put his hands in front of him and closed his eyes in fear.

(After a rational discussion, many friends who like the character Akainu think that it should not be written like this. First of all, everyone can have their own understanding. I respect everyone's different opinions. Here I will briefly talk about my personal opinion, which only represents my personal opinion.
First of all, in a world where pirates are the protagonists, Akainu is the only one among the three admirals who can always have a clear attitude towards pirates. This is undeniable. This character has both good and bad sides and we will not exaggerate or slander him. However, in my opinion, he is indeed a person who can do whatever it takes and ignore sacrifices to achieve his goals, which can be seen at the top.
At the same time, no matter how dissatisfied he is with the orders of the World Government, he will still obey them, because obeying orders is a soldier's duty. Then the World Government represented by Spandine is also the commander-in-chief of the operation, so it is reasonable for him to make concessions and compromises.
In addition, everyone can understand what I mean by this sentence: "Justice requires sacrifice, it can be you or it can be me."
For example, suppose Akainu and Coby have a deep relationship as master and apprentice, and the two go to Beehive Island. When they encounter a situation where one of them needs to sacrifice, he will let Coby die without hesitation, because he feels that it is more valuable for him to survive, and he will never be fussy. Shedding one more tear would be an insult to justice.
But if Akainu and Admiral Sengoku were on a mission and encountered this situation as a rookie, he would choose to sacrifice himself without hesitation, because he felt that Sengoku would be more valuable than himself if he survived.
This is not selfishness, but a kind of almost cold-blooded rationality. When faced with a choice between two options and someone needs to make a sacrifice, he always considers which side of the scale is more valuable, rather than talking about feelings or the will of fire.
The last point is that this is what my boss Cao did, and it is not unfair for Akainu to do so.
OK, that’s it. I can’t finish writing today. Finally, thank you all for your support! )
