[One Piece] Almighty staff

The morning classes at the Naval Academy ended, and the base cafeteria ushered in the busiest time of the day.

Liya opened the window of window No. [-], and saw half of Kedoru's huge face.

Kedoru lay on the ground with his butt pouted, and blocked Leah's view with his face. Leah had to remind gently: "Kedoru, the window for the giants is on the ninth."

Kedorou slanted his eyeballs to the side with guilt: "Yeah, that's right."

Leah: "Get out of the way, someone behind you is complaining."

Kedoru: "A-Wait a minute."

Leah frowned suspiciously: "Cedoru? Leah is going to work."

Pushing Kedoru's big face aside with one hand, Lu Qi put his hands back into his trouser pockets and stood in front of the window.

Leah: "Hey, doesn't Lu Qi eat in the western food area all the time?"

Lu Qi: "Steam clams with wine."

Leah: "But you didn't take the dinner plate."

Lu Qi stood coldly without speaking.

Liya: "Oh, okay. I'll use Lili's lunch box for you first, remember to return it."

Lu Qi took a box full of wine-steamed clams, weighed it, and put on the brown cartoon bear-patterned lid with satisfaction.

Ke Duolu tried his best to squeeze Lu Qi away: "Student Lu Qi from Zhengjun, since you have finished eating, why don't you go?"

Liya blinked and tilted her head to look at Lu Qi: "Lu Qi, do you know what's going on?"

Lu Qi pushed Kedoru away again: "I know."

Leah heard Kedoru gasp obviously.

Lu Qi: "That guy Rosindi prepared a fancy one for you..."

Rossindi pushed a five-layer pink cream lace cake and rushed out from behind Kedolu, and shouted in front of Lu Qi: "Happy birthday Leia!!!!!!"

Lu Qi: "...a birthday surprise."

Rosindy rushed out while pressing the lighter to try to light the candle on the right. Lia waited patiently, Lu Qi watched coldly for a second, and then walked away.

Luo Xindi screamed: "Lu Qijun, don't go! Don't go, Lu Qijun!! I can't live without you!!!"

Rossindi's voice was resting on the tailbone of the voice-changing period. When his slightly hoarse drake voice resounded in the cafeteria, even Lia closed her eyes unbearably.

Aunt Bugaritan in the cafeteria flew out a boning knife from the No. [-] window, and plunged into the tiled floor one centimeter away from Lu Qi's pointed leather shoes: "Keep him quiet!"

With blue veins on his forehead, Lu Qi snatched Rosindi's lighter and threw it out of the cafeteria door: "Shut up! What disgusting words!"

The lighter drew a graceful arc and fell into the trash can at the door.Lu Qi roughly pulled out the candle in the shape of the number "1", lit the "5" and inserted the "1" back in place.

Rossindi led several students who had a good relationship with Leah in the academy, and shouted happy birthday again.

Most of the canteens in the No. [-] canteen of the naval base near the Naval Academy are college students and generals who teach in the college. When Rosinindi started singing the birthday song, the whole canteen erupted in jubilation, and the heroic navies cheered and patted the table, booed and whistled. , Almost the roof of the cafeteria was lifted.

Liya came out from the side door with a smile and thanked everyone: "Thank you to the teachers and students of the academy. Thank you to everyone present here. I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time. If you don't mind, please try Liya's birthday cake together Right. But Lieutenant General Saron and Kedoru should feel wronged, after all, the cake is only so big."

The red-haired giant Lieutenant General laughed out the unique laugh of "Te Lai Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee" amidst everyone's good-natured ridicule. Kedulu grinned and said in a vague voice: "It's okay, I don't care. I love cake."

Liya patted the honest child's feet affectionately: "Kedoru, swallow your saliva before you talk."

Leah opened the side door to get back to work.Suddenly, the eyes dimmed, and Aunt Bujaritan blocked the door fiercely: "There is no work for you today, and you will come back to work the day after tomorrow!"

Leah: "Huh? But..."

Bugaritan: "Give you paid vacation! Get lost, girl!"

The door was shut with a bang.

Aunt Meili at the fifth window poked her head out and waved to Liya to call her over. She smiled unfathomably and said to Liya in a low voice: "In fact, everyone in the cafeteria agrees that the navy boy is more reliable~ Although there are He was silly at the time, but he is a good boy with a kind heart! He was brought up by the generals of the Warring States Period, and his future is sure to be limitless. The most important thing is that he has been wholeheartedly good to you in the past few years... Leah, you must Grab it!"

Leah showed a little embarrassed and distressed smile: "Eh? Rosindy? But he is..."

Aunt Meili had an expression that I understand and I understand: "Auntie knows, that black-haired boy looks cool and has excellent grades. But he is a member of the government after all, and he is three years younger than Leah. How old is he! Is he going to go back to the government in the future? If you choose him, Leah will have to leave Marin Vendo."

Leah: "Well...actually..."

Bujia Litan took over the work of cooking vegetables at window No. [-]. At this time, she was beating the vegetable bowl loudly, and the young student cooking was trembling: "Auntie, I only want one steak, just one piece."

Bugaritan: "What's the matter with your new students? The appetite is as small as the seagulls on the roof! It's because you didn't live up to it, and all the girls married out!"

Student: "This... Actually, my actual combat performance is not bad..."

Bujia Litan dug a spoonful of steak, the sound of the spoon scraping the bottom of the pelvis made the student shiver.

Leah: "Actually, I think..."

Bugaritan: "I really don't understand what those girls who marry outside think! Don't they know the benefits of marrying in Marlin Vandor? What's the advantage of marrying in a place like Judiciary Island? Just to be "Mrs. 'Do you look down on yourself and turn yourself into one of the 'ladies' who dress like dolls and have afternoon tea? It's just too ridiculous!"

Aunt Mei Li followed her advice: "That's right, if Leah marries in Marlin Vandor, no one would dare to bully you. Besides, the little brother in the navy is also very patient with Lili..."

Student: "Then...then have another...two pieces, two steaks!"

Liya: "... Liya is still young, she doesn't want to get married, and she won't marry to Judicial Island."

Aunt Mei Li: "Yes, yes, our Leah is still young, don't worry."

As she said that, she handed Lia a big paper bag: "This is a gift from everyone in the cafeteria. Weilin and the owner of the high-end clothing store are very good friends, and they gave them a lot of discounts."

Aunt Mei Li showed a kind smile on her white-haired face: "Leah's 15th birthday, make good use of it."

The mouth of the bag was open, and in addition to the delicate box for the clothes, there was also a box of palm-sized items on the side. Liya immediately closed the mouth of the paper bag tightly when she saw the word "ultra-thin".

After leaving the cafeteria, Rosindi came over excitedly, waved his hands in front of Leah's eyes, and lowered his voice to make the voice change less obvious: "Look at what this is!"

Leah: "This is... the ticket to Chambord Land?"

Luo Xindi: "The dim sum shop in the commercial street has an annual lucky draw, and I won the first prize of three tickets to Chambord Land! Children's tickets are only half price, so I ordered one for Lili. We will go to Chambord Land today Zhudao! Stay overnight and play tomorrow!"

Lu Qi lost interest: "Then I'll go back to take a lunch break first."

Luo Xindi rushed over to hug him: "Don't! Lu Qijun! Let's go together!"

Lu Qi forcefully propped Rossindi's face away: "Don't come here...let go! Go find that giant family!"

Ke Duolu smiled regretfully: "Actually, there is a letter from my family, and I will pack my luggage and go home in a while."

Rossindi: "Listen, Kedolu can't go because of something... I will never let go! Until you promise me!"

Lu Qi: "Then go on your own! I won't be polite if you don't let go!"

Rossindi: "No! I can't live without you!!"

Lu Qi: "It doesn't matter why you said such disgusting words today! If I hear it again, I will kill you!"

Kedolu: "The relationship between Rosindi and Lu Qi is getting better and better."

Liya smiled and watched the two boys tangle together: "Then I'll go to the relay first. Come to the nursery and meet Liya after you're done."

Ke Duolu also waved: "I'm going back to the dormitory to pack my luggage."

When Liya walked away, Lu Qi's eyes showed a cold light, he showed his claws, and said coldly to Rossindi: "Release."

Luo Xindi didn't let go: "General Warring States has been too busy these two days, I can't go out without your special leave for exchange student."

Lu Qi: "It's none of my business."

Rossindi suddenly became serious, stared into Lu Qi's eyes and said earnestly: "Let's go together, Lu Qi. You are about to leave Marin Fando too, aren't you?"

The black-haired boy lowered his eyes: "So what, let go."

"Although it's not good to say this, but during the four years at the Naval Academy, you only had one friend, Leah, right? Of course, if you want, I'm your friend too~"

Lu Qi finally took the opportunity to break away from him: "I don't want to, I don't need it."

At the second when Lu Qi leopard took shape, Rosindi quickly hugged his thigh again: "Today is Leah's birthday! Just thank her for giving you so many years of snacks and a month Just help her out with her for a weekend picnic!!!”

This sentence can be regarded as the last trump card left by Luo Xindi. If Lu Qi can't be persuaded like this, his birthday surprise today will be half wasted.

Lu Qi really paused.

Rossindi took the opportunity to burst into tears: "Since Lieutenant General Sakaski lost his whereabouts, Leah has had a hard time in the past two years! Really! It's hard! She is a girl, her parents are dead, and she has to take care of her alone. The younger brother has to run around to earn money to support the family. For this reason, she had to give up all the theoretical courses in the combat department and can only take civilian courses..."

Although Lili spends most of the working day dominating the nursery;

Moreover, Rossindi knew that Lieutenant General Sakarski actually left enough living expenses;

And last year, Leah had already completed the courses and passed the entrance examinations of teachers of various subjects.It is only because of age and guardianship requirements that I cannot enter the job temporarily, so I work part-time in the cafeteria.

In fact, she often attends the class of the combat department when she has time. The last time Kedoru and Rosindi's defense homework was completed by Leah.

Of course, how could Lu Qijun, a talented young man who often misses school, takes time off, sleeps out and still wins the first place, would know about these things?

As Rocinandi and Luke tangled up, Leah met an unexpected figure in the nursery's front yard.

Kuzan, who was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general two years ago, sat under the children's slide, folded his arms as if thinking, his brows were tightly furrowed, and the reflection of his sunglasses looked serious.

Leah watched him for a moment, then bent to take off the little round sunglasses.

Mr. Kuzan was in a deep sleep.

Leah thought with a smile, circled her thumb and forefinger into a small circle, and flicked Kuzan's brain hard between the eyebrows.

"Ah, it hurts."

Kuzan yawned and raised his head: "Hey, Leah~ I haven't seen you for a while, she has grown into a great beauty~"

Leah put the sunglasses back on for him: "Good afternoon, Mr. Kuzan. Why did you fall asleep here?"

Kuzan stretched his waist: "This week has been too intense, and I haven't slept well."

Leah: "Ah, are you still insisting on 'passionate justice'?"

"Well...too intense is really not suitable for me." Kuzan stood up and brushed the grass clippings on his pants, his stomach roared, "Why haven't I eaten yet, I clearly smelled a very good milky fragrance before I fell asleep. "

"That's probably the nursery's regular feeding time. Mr. Kuzan, the second canteen is over there."

"Ah~ there... I haven't been here for a long time."

Liya handed the small bag in her hand to Kuzan: "The cafeteria is full of people now, do you want some cake first? Fruit cake."

Kuzan took it without hesitation: "Then I won't be polite."

Leah: "This is a birthday cake my friend ordered for me."

Kuzan: "Well... well, what can I do for you?"

Liya smiled and looked up at the tall man with curly hair: "Mr. Lieutenant General, when will you be back?"

The man forked a piece of cake and put it in his mouth, scratched his head with his little finger, and said vaguely, "Leah is so stubborn beyond expectation."

The girl's beautiful blue eyes looked at him quietly.

Kuzan sat back on the lawn again: "Ah... who knows... maybe soon, maybe a long time. Maybe tomorrow you can see him as soon as you open your eyes? Huh?"

The sunglasses slid down the bridge of his nose, and the man looked at Leah uncertainly from above the frame.

Liya tilted her head and pondered for a while, revealing her dimples: "Well, it's much better than the last time 'I don't know', the last time 'I don't know' and the last time 'This is confidential' Well. Anyway, thank you, Mr. Kuzan."

Kuzan breathed a sigh of relief: "Wow... This answer is much better than the previous one... Do you know why the Warring States General avoids you?"

Liya pursed her rosy lips, her big blue eyes were clear and innocent: "Huh? Is there? I don't know."

"But I hope Mr. Lieutenant General will not come back tomorrow."

Kuzan was confused: "I thought you would really like him to come back sooner."

Liya said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will take Lili, Rosindy and Lu Qi to play in Chambord Land. If Mr. Lieutenant General comes back tomorrow, he won't be able to see Liya."

Liya's smile seemed brighter. Through the face that belonged to a girl in front of him, Kuzan could still clearly remember the little girl with blue eyes who still had a round cheek two years ago.

He still remembered that after he said "I don't know.", those big eyes seemed to be covered by dark clouds, and fell into a gloomy atmosphere.

Although she quickly came back to her senses, and then she pursed her small reddish mouth like now, and gently pulled out a smile.

She smiled and said, "Really?"

After saying these two words, she bowed politely to him and General Warring States, and left quietly pushing her brother's stroller.

Cousin has to admit that he was lulled into an eerie sense of guilt at that moment.

The general of the Warring States Period hugged the goat and said to him, "Let Sakaski handle this matter when he comes back."

The second time Kuzan was questioned by Leah was at the port.

It was a weekend, and he returned to Marin Fondo after a routine patrol in the waters around the Chambord islands. From a distance, he saw the little girl sitting on the steps alone, staring at the port with her chin in a daze.

Kuzan went up to greet her, and found a shocking bruise on her thin white calf under the white lace skirt, and several scrapes on her inner arm that had been treated with patches of iodophor, which looked rough.

Liya tilted her head and smiled at him: "Good afternoon, Mr. Kuzan. Congratulations on your promotion."

Kuzan: "Well, it's not something to celebrate. How did you get hurt?"

Liya: "Ah, this one. The house was burglarized last night. Fortunately, Mr. Lieutenant General stayed behind to protect our plainclothes gentlemen."

Kuzan looked serious: "Have you been attacked by thieves?"

Liya shook her head and smiled sheepishly: "No, Liya was a little scared later, and went to find a phone bug in the dark to call Mr. Lieutenant General, but accidentally tripped over a small stool."

Kuzan felt that his conscience was beginning to disturb again, and he changed the subject: "Why are you here, where is your brother?"

Li Ya changed her hand to support her chin: "Yesterday Mr. Lieutenant General's phone bug still couldn't get through... Li Ya was worried about letting Lili stay at home, so she sent him to the nursery. Li Ya wanted to come to the port to see by herself. What if Mr. Lieutenant General suddenly returns?"

Kuzan remained silent.

Liya turned her head, her big blue eyes full of expectation: "Hey, does Mr. Kuzan know when Mr. Lieutenant General will be back?"

Being looked at by such eyes, Kuzan suddenly felt a little breathless, and he could only answer: "This... I don't know."

"is it?"

Leah turned her head back, quietly disappointed.

After that, Liya would go to the port and sit in a daze for half an hour almost every weekend.She always greeted Kuzan politely and left quietly.

Until one day this year, the little girl suddenly asked him for the third time before leaving: "Mr. Kuzan, when will Mr. Lieutenant General come back?"

Maybe it was because the sea breeze was so gentle that day, and the sky was so blue, so similar to the color of her eyes looking up at him, Kuzan couldn't control his mouth and said, "This is a secret."

The little girl's blue eyes seemed to brighten, her smile deepened, and two round, lovely dimples appeared on her cheeks.

Liya smiled sweetly and obediently: "Thank you, Mr. Kuzan. Since Mr. Lieutenant General did not disappear accidentally, there is a high probability that he will not come back as a corpse, so I don't have to worry so much."

The girl lowered her voice slightly: "One pension letter is enough. When the pension letter was delivered to Leah last time, Dad only had a few ashes left. But the ashes were also thrown into the sea."

After all, she wanted to be with her mother, so she deliberately sprinkled it into the same bay.

Kuzan: "Well..."

General Warring States' reminder was right, he shouldn't get involved in this matter.

----

The morning sun shone, and the sea was sparkling. A few seagulls flew across the sky and stopped on the mast of a warship that seemed to be marching towards the gate of justice.

Sakaski stood on the deck, talking to Sengoku.

Warring States: "I probably understand the situation. You don't need to rush to see me when you come back. Marshal Kong has gone to the holy land of Mariejoa, and it will probably take a while before he comes back. You should take a good rest these days."

Sakasky: "Understood."

Warring States: "That's it first."

Sakalski: "Wait a minute."

Warring States: "What's wrong?"

Sakalski: "How about the kid."

Sengoku: "I'll take it as if you're asking how the 'children' are doing."

Sakalski: "The fat boy will be well taken care of by her, don't worry."

Warring States: "Actually, about this..."

Sakalski: "What happened?"

Warring States: "Kuzan seems to have heard her say something similar to: 'If Mr. Lieutenant General turns into a corpse and returns, the ashes are thrown away'."

Sakalski hung up the phone.The adjutant thought about it and asked: "We will see the Chambord Islands in about an hour, and the warship just needs to take a rest. I want to bring some gifts to my family, how about..."

Sakaski was silent.

The adjutant remedied: "However, Miss Liya is so considerate, she will definitely not ignore Lieutenant General Sakaski because she is too angry, hahaha. Once my wife is angry, she will not talk to me for a long time."

Sakaski turned back to the cabin: "Call me when we arrive."
