Be a Knight in Pirate World

Chapter 23 Ace Nominates Shichibukai, Gawain Spy on Windmill Town

Following Smoker around and around, Gawain saw a hut in the alley.The corners of Gao Wen's mouth twitched slightly, this was never mentioned in the anime.

"Da Siqi, pay attention to vigilance." Smoker ordered, opened the door and walked in, "Why are you still standing there, keep up!"

"Yes." Gao Wen and Da Siqi replied together.

Gawain and Smoker entered the house together, while Da Siqi stayed outside to guard in case someone accidentally overheard the conversation.

"What did Da Siqi say to you yesterday?" Smoker asked Gao Wen to sit opposite him, lit another cigar.

Smoker's unexpected question made Gao Wen, who was just about to accept the secret mission, suddenly at a loss.Co-author You called me so far just to ask this?
"That... I didn't talk about anything, I just talked about swordsmanship, famous knives and so on." Gao Wen finished speaking stumbled.

After all, in this case, he can't tell Smoker that your cute little adjutant said yesterday that he would give me his saber.Gawain had reason to suspect that Smoker called himself so far just to destroy himself by answering that he didn't agree with him.

"Okay, don't tell me, I can probably guess what you guys said." Smoker took a puff on his cigar, "Let's talk about this mission, how much did you know before you came here?"

Gao Wen hesitated for a moment, but still told him everything he knew: "Before coming here, the chief instructor reminded me that this mission may be related to Wang Qiwuhai, so let me talk less and do less."

"Chief instructor? Xiu Zuo? That guy will also take care of this." Smoker cut off the half-smoked cigar, "It's not wrong to say that it has something to do with the madmen of Qiwuhai. As a result, the world government's discussion, They decided to change to another candidate for Shichibukai."

"Change to Qi Wuhai!" Gao Wen was really surprised, but after a while, he had a rough guess about the candidate.

"Well." Smoker's eyes were somewhat disdainful, "Portgas D. Ace, if nothing else happens, he will become the new Seven Wukai."

"The new Qiwuhai, who will be kicked out of the original Qiwuhai?" Gao Wen couldn't help asking curiously.

"This is beyond our control." The disdain in Smoker's eyes became more and more obvious, "Maybe we will know when those old guys finish the meeting slowly. However, it is on the battlefield."

Gawain instantly understood Smoker's meaning.Those so-called Qiwuhai under the king, although they are directly under the World Government, are all pirates who have done evil things.

If one of them is kicked out of this group, then they will face the tail kill of the Navy.After all, unlike ordinary pirates, the navy controls almost all their movements.

"Then... Colonel Smoker. Why did you ask me for such a big matter?" Gawain calmed down and asked a few important questions, "Also, Ace is in the East China Sea now?"

"You thought you were called here to carry out the task of appointing Qi Wuhai?" Smoker looked at Gao Wen with a strange look in his eyes, "Yesterday, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel said that you are a bit narcissistic, I didn't expect to be so..."

Gao Wen was a little ashamed when he heard it, and quickly took over the topic and said, "Then what is the task for me?"

Smoker took out a few documents from nowhere, threw them on the table and said: "The mission we have received here is to investigate the past of Portgas D. Ace. As for the appointment, naturally Someone did it."

Gao Wen glanced at the information, and he understood it already.The information was nothing else, Gao Wen glanced at it casually, and saw three words - Windmill Town!

"What do you need me for?" Although he had already guessed the general idea in his mind, Gao Wen still asked.

"Considering that you are still in the training camp, you have a certain strength but not a great reputation. Therefore, you are the most suitable for this task." Smoker looked at Gao Wen seriously, "This time you will Lead the team to set off first and arrive at Rogue Town to secretly investigate Portgas D. Ace's past. Be sure to end the investigation before the flying squirrel arrives at Windmill Town."

This...Although Gao Wen guessed the mission, he didn't expect that this mission, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel, was just a cover for deception, and the real mission fell on his shoulders without any warning.

"It doesn't seem to be so troublesome to nominate Qi Wuhai." Gao Wen asked cautiously, suppressing the surprise in his heart.

"Ordinary Shichibukai certainly don't need it." Smoker rummaged through the materials, and quickly found a page and put it in front of Gawain, "One of the Four Emperors of the New World, the red-haired Shanks used to stay there It's been a long time. Although I don't like the Qiwuhai system, I absolutely cannot tolerate the intervention of the Four Emperors."

As if he was afraid that Gao Wen would be too nervous, Smoker said again: "But you don't have to worry too much, the possibility of this is almost negligible. We only do this to eliminate the danger."

After hearing this, Gao Wen nodded silently in his heart.That's right, this possibility is very small. Ace has nothing to do with Shanks, but there is still a problem kid on the island. He has been greatly influenced by Shanks.

But if the navy is worried about Ace's background... that's the son of Pirate King Gol D. Roger, if he becomes Qibuhai.Tsk, that feeling.Although Gao Wen knew it was impossible, he couldn't help looking forward to it.

"If you understand this mission, the time is urgent. It should be sooner rather than later. Get ready to go now." Smoker glanced at the gun on Gawain's waist, "This time you will enter Windmill Town disguised as businessmen, it is best Put away your fancy things."

Gao Wen scratched his head in embarrassment. When he bought the gun yesterday, no one told him to carry out this kind of sneak investigation mission.

Gawain unloaded the gun and handed it to Smoker for safekeeping, stood up and asked again: "The last question, why me?"

There must be quite a few people in the Navy Headquarters who meet the conditions. If it is not necessary, Gawain does not want to have too much interaction with Luffy before his strength is not strong enough.

"This is a mission, but also a test." Smoke put away Gawain's pistol, stared at Gawain seriously and said, "This mission may involve people from CP9, Dashiqi will be with you, try to Don't get involved with them."

"Understood." After getting the answer he wanted, Gao Wen turned and walked out.It's ridiculous to think about it. Before I came here, I thought I could really make a fortune while lying down.
