[One Piece] Almighty staff

One day two years ago, Sakalski brought back a black rectangular box and handed it to Leah, saying to her, "This is your father's promotion badge."

It was a special major general epaulette, with a circle of black stripes embroidered around it in mourning.Later, Liya specially customized a vertical frame with a glass cover and a black velvet bottom for the epaulet, and placed it in front of the family photo in front of the bed of the Nobio and his wife's bedroom, and asked Lili to wipe the stars on the epaulet every day.

About Galen Nobio's promotion, Leah heard from Ms. Shady from the Secret Service after the war.The promotion order had been issued before Gallon's last voyage, and the promotion ceremony had been planned to wait for him to come back, but unfortunately he failed to come back.

Although she was grateful to Mr. Lieutenant General for asking for this military rank epaulet, which was obviously beneficial to her and Lili, it was two years late after all, and Leah was puzzled about the timing of its appearance.

But Sakaski insisted that he just did it casually: "It just so happened that someone in the headquarters was going to be promoted to a general position, and it was delayed for two years. It is also time for this matter to come to a successful conclusion."

Liya: "Okay then, remember to bring the bento made by Liya when you go out tomorrow."

Then Sakarski disappeared for two years along with the bento box.

Sakarski explained in a low voice at the dinner table: "This is a confidential mission. Even family members have no right to know."

Liya turned the egg pancake over and smiled: "I know. Liya understands the nature of Mr. Lieutenant General's work, but it's very, very angry with Liya that Sakalski disappeared for two years without saying goodbye. There is no conflict."

Smelling the aroma of breakfast, Lili ran out with a "tap-tap-tap": "Leah~ I finished brushing my teeth! Look!"

Liya took a serious look at Lili's big white teeth: "Well, they are very clean. Sit next to Mr. Lieutenant General, breakfast will be ready soon."

Lili climbed onto the chair in front of the dining table and warmly greeted Sakalski: "Mr. Lieutenant General, good morning!"

Sakalski: "Yeah."

Liya turned her head and looked at Sakaski with a smile from the open kitchen: "Mr. Lili~ Lieutenant General is a quiet person, it's not because he is rude that he doesn't answer your greetings well."

Sakaski: "..."

Sakalski was going to a routine meeting of senior generals.Before going out, he took the new bento box and hesitated: "The one from last time was accidentally broken, so I didn't take it back."

Li Ya's big bright blue eyes were bent: "Although it's a pity, since Mr. Lieutenant General explained it well, I'll forgive you."

Sakaski nodded and was about to turn around to leave when Leah grabbed the corner of his clothes. The little girl smiled and said, "Speaking of which, since Mr. Lieutenant General has no urgent business today, let's take Lili to the nursery." .”

Lili had no objection. He carried his small satchel on his back, put on his sunflower sombrero, and pulled Sakaski's trousers to wave goodbye to Lia.

Liya watched at the door as Lili trotted along beside Sakalski's legs, with the little hat hanging on the back of his neck and hopped around. In the small satchel, besides the bento box, there were some Lili's favorite small toys and crayon boxes. There was a ringing sound as it ran, and before halfway out the corridor, Sakaski picked up Lili like a bento box.

After Liya closed the door and cleared the dining table, she looked downstairs from the kitchen window. Lili had successfully climbed onto the throne on the back of Sakalski's neck, and was happily looking around while holding Sakalski's head.

Leah laughed, and saw Sakalski's figure disappearing around the corner, then slowly restrained her smile, rinsed off the foam on the last plate, dried her hands, and took out the phone bug to call Rossinanti.

"Rosindi, don't come to pick me up today, I want to ask you two things."

"Well, first go to the Navy canteen and ask Aunt Bugaritan and me for a vacation, and then... about three or ten minutes later, please ask Lu Qi to sneak out of the nursery school over the wall and send it to Teacher Zefa's house."

"Ah, Lu Qi, are you here?"

"That's right, it seems that I was chased home. I'm afraid we will be entangled for a while."

"It's okay, Colonel Sisser will teach you this morning, and you will find a way."

Leah was picking out clothes for herself in the closet, and when she heard Rocindi whispering advice from the microphone, she lowered her eyes and said softly: "No, Rocindi, I don't believe in the navy, let alone Government, I just trust you and Lu Qi. Please, do as I say."

----

The regular meeting of senior generals will be held every six months. All the generals who are lieutenant generals and above in Marlin Fando must participate. Of course, generals who are on missions or seriously injured and recuperating in the hospital can be absent, so the number of participants in each meeting is also limited. A fixed number, at least one hand can count, and at most it will not exceed the number of fingers of two hands plus two feet.

In a sense, this kind of meeting is to give the generals a platform to exchange information in various aspects, and by the way, to confirm whether the mainstay of the Navy Headquarters, which is not a lot, is healthy and intact, and whether the lieutenant generals are unlucky. Old colleagues or new colleagues.

Because of the confidential mission, Sakaski was absent from four regular meetings. When he reappeared in the private room for regular meetings in the second canteen of the Navy Headquarters, he immediately received an unprecedented warm welcome, and almost everyone came forward to greet him.

Garp: "Sakaski! You're still alive! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

Flying Squirrel: "Lieutenant General Sakaski, I haven't seen you for a long time. It's great that you are safe and sound."

Kuzan: "You have met Liya sauce first, she has been sad for quite a long time."

Ghost Spider: "This trip has been long enough, it seems that you have gained a lot."

Warring States: "Didn't I tell you to let you rest for a few days first, you really have a personality that can't be idle."

Polusalino: "Oh~ Sakaski has an incredible aura~ The strength of the 'monster' is quite a lot~ I'm a little scared~"

......

Sakaski folded his arms and sat quietly in his seat for half an hour before a dozen generals with very different personalities took their seats.

Zefa cleared his throat: "Alright, enough is enough for you guys."

Eight out of ten out of ten students here are students brought out by Zefa. As soon as he opened his mouth, all the vice admirals immediately shut down.The remaining two are his friends and colleagues. The Warring States Period has always given him face, but Karp's stomach growled inappropriately.

Garp fell weakly on the table: "Ah... the old man is hungry..."

Sengoku: "You only ate fifty donuts this morning! Enough is enough!"

Garp: "I'm so hungry... I'm starving to death..."

Kuzan: "Ms. Bugaritan said that she won't serve meals in advance until lunch time. Senior Garp, please wait another hour."

Karp sniffed his nose, pressed against the table, crossed Sengoku and Zefa in the middle, and squeezed in front of Sakasky, who was sitting directly opposite him: "The old man smells the smell of meat... and sweet egg rolls and Spicy sausage."

Sakaski folded his hands and said nothing.

Polusalino: "Oh, Sakaski, did you come in with something just now~"

Sakalski gave him a stern look.

Polusalino: "Oh~ The eyes are so scary~ I'm so scared~"

Zefa and Sengoku were almost squeezed out of the dining table by Garp, and Sengoku punched Garp several times but failed, so he could only grit his teeth and look at Sakaski: "He won't give up, just let him forget it." ! Sakalski!"

Zefa also rubbed his forehead helplessly: "Give him some, anyway, you have a big appetite, and Liya should have prepared a lot."

Both the superior and the teacher had spoken, and Sakaski could only carry the lunch box to the table with a cold face. The heavy sound of the box falling on the table attracted the attention of all the generals.

When Sakalski split the croquettes, sweet egg rolls, pepperoni, and rice in half, the meeting finally got going.

Sakalski has not returned for two years, and he does not know the inside story of many news from the headquarters. This meeting is very important for him to receive information from all parties.

Compared with listening to written classified reports from the subordinates who are stationed in the headquarters, the information obtained from the meeting will be more and more detailed, and it can also clearly understand the attitudes of different factions towards various events.Among them, he is more concerned about the reappearance of historical texts and the quiet resumption of illegal archaeological activities. The world government is very cautious about this matter...

When the meeting was over and the generals had a regular dinner, Sakaski went to the cafeteria hall alone to look for Bugaritan: "I'm looking for Lia Nobio."

Bugaritan gave him a ferocious look: "You are the guardian of that girl Liya? What are you doing now after leaving the siblings behind for two years!"

Sakalski: "I have something to do with her."

Bujia Litan waved her hand impatiently: "She didn't come today! Lunch time is very busy, get out of the way!"

Sakaski frowned, feeling a bad premonition.

A man with the rank of colonel came towards him, and the other party wore glasses with thin black frames: "Hello, Lieutenant General Sakaski. You may not remember me. We met in the logistics building four years ago. , At that time, I was in charge of dealing with former Lieutenant Li Gao who was suspected of threatening the lives and property safety of the survivors of naval martyrs.”

The man adjusted the frame of the mirror: "I am teaching at the Naval Academy, and I am also responsible for the reception of some government personnel and the handover of major events. Half an hour ago, my colleague called me to inform me that someone from the government came, and he held a copy of Leah Nuo Beo's arrest warrant, I suggest you..."

Sakalski interrupted him: "Name."

The other party was stunned for a moment and sighed: "I will remind you of this matter because of your guardianship. If possible, please try not to mention me in front of relevant government personnel. My next Miloda Sisser."

With a flash in front of Siser's eyes, Lieutenant General Sakaski disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Lu Qi and Rossindi came in from the side door of the cafeteria, and saw Sisser standing directly in front of them, frowning and thinking.

Rossindi's face was tense from the very beginning when he saw Sisser, like the glass window of the cafeteria that had just been wiped with a damp rag, which could be seen through at a glance and was covered with water droplets.

Lu Qi: "If you must walk like this, I suggest you not wave your hands. You are like a pigeon with arthritis now."

The whole body is stiff and the hands and feet are the same.

Rossindi: "It's too unnatural not to wave your hands, don't talk to me! It will attract the attention of others!"

Because Rossindi was too stiff and looked very conspicuous, Lu Qi had to ask politely when passing by Sisser: "Colonel Sisser, what are you doing here?"

Sisser's sharp eyes conveyed undisguised contempt through the lens: "If I didn't come to the cafeteria to eat, then I must have purposely found a place to stand, and I just did the same thing as you two did today. Folly savors remorse."

When Sakalski arrived at the door, the corridor was in a mess, and there were traces of charred fire everywhere. There were dozens of cracks on the wall of the porch, like shallow pits spread by spider webs.The doors of three neighbors on the same floor were wide open, and a petite woman with red hair was carrying a light machine gun and confronted several government personnel in suits and ties at the door closest to Lia's house.

"You dare to smash the wall of my house and try it! The ghost knows what kind of six months my wife spent to renovate the whole house!"

The red-haired young woman loaded the gun with an angry face: "There is still this corridor, if it cannot be restored to its original state within three days, I will print photos of you guys with debt notices and sprinkle them all over Judiciary Island!"

The man behind her immediately shook the camera in his hand threateningly.

The government officials stared at the muzzle of the machine gun vigilantly as if facing a formidable enemy. The leading man in sunglasses warned: "Miss, it is against the law to threaten and obstruct government personnel from performing official duties. Please put down your gun immediately."

The red-haired woman sneered and puffed her belly: "Don't make it seem like it's not illegal to threaten a pregnant female naval officer! Anada!"

The man behind her immediately responded: "I am dear!"

Red-haired woman: "Take a picture of what it looks like in the corridor now."

Man: "Take a shot."

Red-haired woman: "Have you also photographed the way they entered our house and rummaged through it?"

The man took out a video bug from his collar: "I recorded it, recorded it all, and also recorded all their acts of breaking doors, smashing walls and using flame guns!"

The man in sunglasses was shocked: "When...how dare you!"

Sakalski cuts in to end the drama: "Ryan."

The man with the brown beard turned his head and said in surprise, "Lieutenant General Sakarsky! My dear, Lieutenant General Sakarsky is back!"

The red-haired woman glanced back, her delicate and lovely face was full of violent emotions: "He's back? I thought he died outside!"

Ryan coaxed and persuaded, and protected his wife and went back to his house: "Don't get angry, be careful that the child makes trouble with you again. Just leave it to me and Lieutenant General Sakaski to deal with it. You have been tired for so long, go Take a break."

Before closing the door, the woman stared at several government officials with an unfriendly expression, and said in a dangerous tone: "Corridor, three days."

As soon as the door was closed, Ryan immediately returned to his usual lazy and careless appearance: "My wife said that this group of bastards have been here for four hours and haven't pried even a crack in Leah's door. Lieutenant General Sakaski Don't worry, Leah will be fine." Seven

Several men in suits looked very embarrassed, and the man in sunglasses showed an arrest warrant: "Now that Lieutenant General Sakaski is back, things will be much easier. This is the suspect approved by Judiciary Island to arrest and attack Tianlongren Shalulia Palace, Li Ya Nobio's arrest warrant, please cooperate with our arrest."

Ryan interrupted lazily: "You guys have been doing it for four hours, and no one thought of notifying the guardian of the person under arrest?"

Four hours, almost Sakaski left, and the group arrived behind.

Sakarski: "The reason for the arrest is false, and the government can produce any substantive evidence."

Stretching out his sunglasses, someone handed over a document: "This is the testimony of Li Gao, the attendant of Xialulia Palace that day. He claimed to have seen Lia Nobio shoot at Xialulia Palace with his own eyes."

Ryan: "Huh? Is my memory confused or the government issued a new decree to change the relevant laws? Just based on the testimony of an entourage, you can arrest minors under the guardianship of the vice admiral at will?"

Sunglasses said coldly: "It's about Tianlong people, of course we can't follow the ordinary law."

Ryan: "It's about Tianlong people, so why not send some useful people over? At least the kind that can open the door of a teenage girl's house. For example, cp9 is very good, and it's quite close."

"Or the person who can get the arrest warrant may not be able to use the government's strongest spy organization?"

Sunglasses: "Regardless of whether it is cp9 or not, the arrest warrant is still valid."

Sakaski's finger tapped on the paper document, and a little liquid flame immediately spread across the entire paper, the sunglasses turned pale with fright, and immediately let go of his hand.The spark, which was not as big as a fingernail, fell to the ground and melted into a deep pit the size of a fist. As for the so-called arrest warrant, there was no ashes left.

He raised his head, his gaze under the brim of the hat was cold and frightening: "This kind of waste paper is not counted among me. No matter what you want to do, come and talk to me face-to-face with someone who can speak."

"No one can get around me dealing with my people."

Ryan shouted behind a group of government personnel who fled in embarrassment: "Your actions today have seriously offended Lieutenant General Sakalski. You really intend to deprive him of his power! This is a manifestation of the government's discrimination against the navy! This reflects the system. The seriousness of the problem! All Lieutenant General Sakarski's remarks are to express his anger and grievance of being unfairly treated!

Corridor restored within three days! "

Ryan wiped off his sweat, and shook the video bug in his hand to Sakalski before going home: "Don't worry, I will negotiate with it, and the last paragraph will definitely not be released as evidence."

Sakalski was about to reach out to knock on the door, but Ryan poked his head out of the crack of the door, admonishing him: "I don't recommend you touch that door, those idiots spent two hours out of four hours suffering from high-voltage electric shocks." Down on the ground and can't move. Let's ring the doorbell... the red one."

Sakaski rang the doorbell and waited patiently for a while. Through the thick protective door, he could clearly hear footsteps approaching the door from the sofa in the living room.

The door was opened from the inside, and the girl opened her big sleepy blue eyes, and the toes of her thin white foot were red and swollen, like fried balls in a bento box.

Leah stepped on the instep of the other foot barefoot: "Mr. Lieutenant General?"

She looked out suspiciously: "Have they left?"

Sakaski picked up Leah and closed the door: "Let's go."

Liya: "Huh? But Liya even changed her clothes and took a nap for a while...Mr. Lieutenant General came back so early today."

Sakarsky put Leah on the sofa: "It's not early."

He asked, "Why didn't you contact me immediately."

Liya was stunned for a moment, and turned out two small dimples regretfully: "Oh, I forgot!"

Sakalski: "It doesn't make sense."

Liya sighed: "Because I haven't gotten through the phone bug for two years, Liya is used to solving things by herself."

Sakaski: "..."

Liya remembered something, and took out a shiny key from under the sofa cushion: "Mr. Lieutenant General disappeared half a year later, the house was visited by thieves, so Liya changed the door of the house and installed a protective grid... so expensive Da! Spend all the money left by Mr. Lieutenant General!"

Leah put the key in the palm of Sakaski's hand: "Oh, Leah fell because she wanted to call Mr. Lieutenant General that night, of course, Mr. Lieutenant General didn't answer that night. "

Sakalski: "I'm sorry."

Leah: "Why are you sorry?"

Sakaski: "..."

Sakalski: "I'm sorry."
