[One Piece] Almighty staff

As soon as Liya stepped into the archives department's floor on Monday, she heard the angry growl of Nobein, the section chief, from the office at the end of the corridor.

The little Jimmy passed by with a stack of brand new household registration documents, and reminded her in a low voice: "There is someone from the finance department."

Liya nodded in understanding, and saw several folders thicker than bricks smashed out of the section chief's office, and the heavy solid wooden door was smashed against the wall with a "bang bang" sound.

Nuo Beiyin: "Mission file records?! You actually have the face to ask me for the files of the general level! You are just a waste of nobles! How dare you kick the iron plate of my navy headquarters!!?"

A male voice sounded indistinctly in the office, and Leah could hear how humble this poor colleague from the finance department was just by the tone of her voice.

Nuo Beiyin's voice suddenly increased: "Judicial Island?! Why is the other party a nobleman or a Tianlong person! Fuck the nobleman! Let him sue if he has the ability! If he dares to sue his mother, he dares to go to Judicial Island himself!"

Leah sneaked into her office silently against the wall, only to find that her desk was occupied.

Colonel Sisser was sitting on the sofa chair she specially replaced, drinking the high-grade tea given to her by the director of the hospital to celebrate her entry into office, and eating the pastries brought to her by Teacher Zefa from Mermaid Island. The directory is specially organized for the convenience of work.

Like Liya, the other two colleagues in the office are newcomers who have only been employed for a few months. At this moment, they are looking at their noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, and hearts, as if they were newcomers to the office.

Facing the current deputy director of the logistics department, the chief of the finance department, and the person in charge of the handover of the Navy Department of World Government Affairs, a rookie who has just entered the workplace of course dare not confront such a high-ranking official who holds real power, not to mention the head of the logistics department is also a file Branch regulars.

Liya sighed helplessly, stretched out her hand and closed her work directory with a "snap", with a half-smile: "Mr. Sisser, it's very rude to rummage through a girl's things."

Sisser took a sip of tea: "That's not what you said when you asked me for help last month."

Leah: "..."

She was too young then.

Sisser helped the frame of the mirror and smiled very formally: "You haven't met Lieutenant General Sakalski this month, have you? It's still very reliable to do things next."

Leah rolled her eyes and smiled faintly.

She put away the workbooks on the desktop one by one, and when she raised her eyes again, she pointed to the direction of the section chief's office, which was still roaring like usual: "Song Yi is a talented student brought out by Mr. Siser himself, so let him Being alone in there... feels a little pathetic."

Sisser held the teacup and said grandly: "Young people, you still need to accept a lot of tempering to grow quickly."

Leah: "Well...you just need to be afraid of scaring people away."

The manpower problem in the logistics department has just gone from being overwhelmed to barely sufficient.Sisser, as a well-known mouth-talking king of the logistics department, used to be a hot-headed cannon, for the sake of the retention rate of interns and newcomers, she had to seal her mouth in the past few years, and kept a low profile. push out.

Liya paused for a moment, then turned her head to stare at him belatedly: "Mr. Sisser, do you...do you have something for me to do?"

Colonel Sisser still smiled lightly and solemnly: "Young people, you just need to exercise a lot to grow up quickly."

------

Chambord Islands 06GR is the front part of the illegal area of ​​Chambord, where the whole street is full of high-end bars, high-end restaurants and entertainment venues with gorgeous decorations. It looks very outstanding.

The one meeting Sither was a young and handsome boy who looked not much older than Leah, in his early twenties.

As soon as he entered the door, the handsome blue-haired guy in a kimono who hugged two geisha on the left and right changed his expression. He first invited all the other guests and the geisha accompanying the wine out of the room, and turned his head to stare. Sisser: "What do you mean?"

When the people were gone, Sisser didn't bother to put on a posture, sat down at the small table next to the handsome blue-haired guy, and called Liya who was following behind: "Sit down, the food in this restaurant is for cooking. But they are all rare and good materials.”

The blue hair made his fair face flush red with anger: "Miloda! What trouble are you looking for!"

With a standard smile on her face, Liya quietly sat down on the tatami near the door, away from the center of the flames of war.

Siser poured a glass of sake slowly: "How can you say that I'm here to cause trouble? I'm just here to eat. Why, government officials can come to this store, but the navy can't?"

This is a bit of a pun, and Liya's face was calm, but she thought about it in private.

The 06GR street, to put it bluntly, is a gold-plated selling cave. No matter how high-end and beautiful the surface decoration is, how tightly the doors and windows are covered, anyone who is a little careful can find that this is actually a street where food, drinking, prostitution and gambling are all available. A one-stop chain industry street for high-end entertainment venues.

Leah followed Sisser's reminder all the way in and kept her eyes open, but her keen five senses still received a lot of information.Just from the corner of her eyes, she caught sight of the glamorous scenes of some bars, men's clothing stores, and the opening and closing of the doors of bathing places several times.

Although Liya is considered a tolerant girl, if she is suddenly taken to this kind of red-light district that has been approved, she will have objections in her heart.

It's important business, let's settle the accounts when we get back.

Sisser, who was arguing with the blue hair, felt a chill on her back, but when she turned around, she could only see Leah's smiling, gentle and kind face.

There are many high-rise buildings in 06GR, the big hotel in the middle of the front section is very tall, and it is so resplendent that Sisser and Leah can see it across two small islands.But this two-storey restaurant occupies a prime location in the center of the street.

When entering the door, Liya observed that the customers coming and going in and out of the store were in a hurry. The few customers who entered the door a few seconds before them passed by them just as Liya changed the indoor shoes handed by the waiter. Straight out.

The waiters and other customers in the store all looked familiar.Leah guessed that this store might be a place to get information, and there was no secret on this street.

The blue hair over there suddenly became even more angry: "Don't play dumb for me! Find me a second navy like you on this street and try!"

Sisser pointed to Leah who was sitting quietly by the door: "Here."

The blue-haired girl looked over, and the gentle and quiet little beauty smiled at him, took out a thick folder from the cute flower-shaped satchel, and said softly and clearly: "Hello, I am the Naval Logistics Department." An insignificant clerk. This is what Colonel Siser asked me to sort out, the unapproved and unapproved arrears and the name records that you have owed to the Navy Headquarters in various aspects so far."

The blue-haired man stared at the folder with a look of shock and anger: "What is in arrears? Why are you in arrears?!"

Leah paused for a moment, then glanced at Siser, who raised her eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.

So Leah put on a professional official style, opened the folder and cited: "Look, for example, you have been in arrears for three years and have not paid for the application for the replenishment of the war-damaged guns and ammunition. And this soldier The amount of compensation for casualties is also decreasing year by year, and even more than [-]% of the military pay is missed or underpaid by the navy; the most urgent thing is that the personnel, equipment and medical supplies agreed to be allocated to the hospital have not yet been in place..."

The blue hair interrupted her: "Wait! Didn't the Navy Headquarters excavate several veins of volcanic islands and build new arsenals to replenish ammunition?"

Liya looked at him in amazement, as if he was saying something inexplicable: "You really know how to joke. Building a factory, collecting raw materials, labor costs... which one doesn't cost money? If you don't pay money, how can the Navy headquarters carry out production? arms?"

The blue-haired man continued without a pause: "In this way, it is better to continue to use the original mode of purchasing ammunition and guns. The high cost of this munitions factory is not much different from the original purchase mode. There is no need to make It's such a hassle."

More than half of the navy's arms are provided by arms factories in the hands of the world government, and half of the half is provided by the government to allocate money to the navy to find legal arms dealers from various countries to purchase.The remaining [-]-[-]% is because the scientific troops have designed powerful new weapons, and the navy has taken the blueprints and made them in its own munitions factory.

——Of course, the world government also has the priority to choose such blueprints. After they are made, they are only equipped for the government army, and the navy is just a child picked up.

In short, the more the navy's munitions factories, the less the government's munitions factories earn.It is natural for the world government to be responsible for the navy's equipment, but if the navy wants to get weapons of good quality quickly, of course it needs a large sum of money to "reminder" the job, otherwise people will delay the release, or send it out with various Such a problem, even if you return it to get better, you have to wait.

But can the war wait?Without reliable weapons, the soldiers are required to block bullets with their own flesh. When a group of soldiers die, the five old stars will get angry and reprimand them, and they will be demoted and punished with a salary. The soldiers' bones were completely cold.

Leah can see the joints clearly. In the eyes of the nobles and the world government, the lives of civilians are not fate.It is said that the navy is an institution directly under the world government, and the nobles and high-ranking officials have nothing to do with the navy.

The arms involve the interests of government officials, and the other party deliberately defaults on the payment and wants to force the navy to stop the military factory.The water here is too deep, Liya listened to the blue hair's various express hints, and made unreasonable words, smiled and did not refute.

The blue hair became more and more enthusiastic: "As for pensions and military pay, there is really no way. Those of you who have been chaotic on the sea in the past few years must know better than me. In order to maintain the peace of the four seas and the great waterway, the world government has also invested a lot. Money, making the government’s finances unable to make ends meet, and arrears of military salaries to reduce the amount of pensions is also a last resort..."

Liya calmly put down the folder, took out a notepad and pen from her bag, and asked with a smile, "For example?"

After all, it is power and money oppressing people, and I want to push back the navy that has just won the hearts of the people, and recognize my "little brother" status.

This kind of thing really can't irritate Matsuichi-kun who is full of justice and passion.Compared with the social iron fist in front of us, Nobein's Lion's Roar from the River East is nothing short of drizzle.

Halfway through the blue-haired speech, he was a little confused: "What?"

Leah: "Since you have spent a lot of money to maintain world peace, please give me a few examples - did the government build any buildings to benefit the people? Such as orphanages? Asylums? Or were they Reconstruction of islands destroyed by war?"

The corners of the blue-haired eyes twitched, and his face sank immediately: "Are you questioning what I said?"

Liya was indifferent: "Huh? Why did you say that? Since I came out to participate in the meeting, I also need to go back and report. After all, Colonel Sisser is not my immediate superior."

The blue-haired man only talked to her all the time, obviously because he was somewhat afraid of Sissy, but also out of the conventional mentality of wanting to pick the soft persimmons.

Liya shook her head inwardly. A girl who could be brought to such a place would not be a persimmon anyway.

Alas, young people still need to hone more.

The blue-haired man opened his mouth, trying to find an excuse that the confidential project could not be disclosed, but Lia cut him off:

"In the past few years, in order to improve credibility, the Navy and the government have also worked hard to benefit the people. At the same time, they have vigorously promoted policies that benefit the people and strived to create a good public image. If it is a measure that benefits the people, there is no need to hide it. Your Excellency Don’t be modest and tell us the relevant content, it just so happens that the navy’s newspaper office lacks relevant materials.”

Blue hair: "I only know the general trend of the relevant funds flow, the specific process is still up to the relevant departments..."

Rao is a very patient person like Liya, after more than an hour of talking back and forth with this obviously stingy government official on the banknote issue, she also felt a little bit crazy. swell.

Having a full understanding of various income and running accounts from the world government is originally a compulsory course for new recruits in the finance department. Although the archives department also has detailed records, there are no hard and fast rules to thoroughly understand.If a newcomer can complete the entry work without any omissions, he is barely qualified.

Coincidentally, Liya, who is new to the archives department, happens to be responsible for entering and sorting out new and old materials and bills of the finance department. She has also worked in canteens and hospitals, so she understands the actual situation beyond the comparison of ordinary logistics department staff.Sisser really did his best.

The blue-haired man couldn't hide his tense emotions.Liya also felt a little tired. After all, the chatter was all about the truth. Liya tried her best to mobilize the stock in her brain and at the same time prevent the other party from grabbing the conversation.

However, the girl who can face the admiral-level aura with a smile as if nothing had happened since she was a child, of course, will not easily show a little fatigue.

Blue hair was also tiring, and she couldn't bear it.

The other party scratched his head a little irritably, holding the hand of the small wine glass but never moved it to his mouth. He looked inquiringly into the little girl's big blue eyes that had not changed from the beginning, with a calm smile: "Excuse me Miss, what's your name?"

Leah smiled without saying a word.

Her mission has been completed, next is Sither's home.

She and Sisser came here today with "gifts first and then soldiers". She was in charge of the "rituals", and it took him a round first, and then Sisser was in charge of the "soldiers".Liya is mainly responsible for opening the first joint for the negotiation of withdrawing money from the world government.

Of course, the "soldier" part is not very visible, and it is not to the extent that Liya, a small employee, can get in touch.Sisser tactfully suggested that Leah go to the outer court to get some fresh air and rest, and carefully told her not to run around.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Liya walked through the low and dim corridor to the central courtyard.There was no one in the courtyard at night, and the sound of changing cups in the private room behind me seemed far away in the open-air courtyard.

Leah sat on the porch, slightly relieved.

White sand, gravel and moss, bamboo tubes flowing into the bowl, and a small wooden arch bridge, the classic Japanese garden landscape.

The weather is getting hotter, and it is cool in the courtyard with water and wind.Leah leaned on the porch pillar, closing her eyes to recharge her energy.

"Baby Leah?"

Liya opened her eyes, and was also taken aback when she saw Diana turning out from the corner of the corridor.

Diana was wearing a kimono with a black background and white floral patterns. Her hair was in a loose bun with a variety of big waves. Two strands of forehead hair fell on both sides of her cheeks. ...more flamboyant.

Diana asked her, "Why are you here?"

Liya opened her mouth, and then caught a glimpse of Lieutenant General Dauberman who also came out of the corner, and turned around when she said: "Come out to socialize with your boss."

When you come to this kind of place, you will not believe it if you say it is just for eating.

Diana's eyes narrowed, and her complexion became ugly: "Entertainment? Which boss are you out with?"

Liya hurriedly appeased Diana, who rolled up her sleeves to find a black-hearted boss for her daughter: "It's just to deal with government officials and have a meal together. It will be easier to do things in the future. A new employee of mine is here to help Number, no, I’ll come out after eating something to get some fresh air.”

Dauberman was also wearing a gray kimono, and stood behind the two barefoot like iron towers. He gave Leah a look miserly, then stared at Diana, and said to Leah: "Since we are here, let's go together." .”

Leah: "Ah? Forget it, Lieutenant General Dauberman, I'm also out for work, so I won't bother you."

The implication is that I'm here for work, so it's not necessarily a date when you come out, right?

Dauberman took half a step back, blocking the road leading to the right side of the corridor. He said forcefully and irresistibly, "They are all acquaintances and elders, so going to say hello won't hurt."

Leah's eyelids twitched.

Lieutenant General Dauberman, except when he met on the road, she greeted him with a nod or a "hmm", he had spoken to her three times before today, namely: "Which floor is she on?" , "What does that woman like?" and "What does that doctor have to do with her?"

Diana couldn't be separated from the three conversations, so why did Lieutenant General Dauberman, who had only nodded acquaintance with her, talk to her this time...the reasons don't even bother to think about.

She looked at Diana, who held her hand, and said lightly: "If you don't want to go, don't go. Of course, I don't think it's okay to go."

Leah turned pale with fright. Lieutenant General Dauberman, a ferocious straight man, when did he have such skills to instigate Diana? !

Diana poked and poked her forehead angrily: "What are you thinking! I'm not doing it for your own good, so hurry up and get this shit out of the way. Look at you, you've lost three centimeters during this time, and your weight Did you lose ten catties?"

Leah: "Isn't this new job busy..."

Diana sneered: "What about cheating ghosts? You stay at home on weekends, and you come out occasionally, either to the hospital, or to take Lili to see General Zefa. I think you're going to have a lot of free time."

Leah: "..."

It's easy to fall in front of acquaintances.

The door at the left end of the corridor was opened, and a waitress in kimono came out with an empty wine bottle.The waitress knelt on the ground and had just closed the door when the sliding door of the Japanese room was suddenly pulled open heavily from the inside.

A man in a black kimono came out, and the waitress shrank away in shock: "Guest...guest?"

Sakaski turned his face away, and his gloomy pupils fell directly on Leah's face at the end of the corridor.

Caught off guard, Liya was taken aback by the faint roiling anger in Sakaski's eyes.

It's only been a month since I saw him, and Sakalski feels more majestic, stronger, and more dangerous.

Seeing Sakaski striding over, Dauberman pulled Diana away: "Let them talk for themselves."

Diana glanced at Leah with some concern, but was left in Dauberman's arms.

The night is dark, and there is only a bean-sized oil lamp at the door of each room in the corridor to see the road clearly. The more colorful light is faintly revealed from the room through the paper door, which is the style of the wind.

The faint light circled the private light and shadow in the low-rise Japanese-style building, and the dancing candle flame flickered on one side of Sakalski's cold face, while the other side was not in the darkness, and the two black eyes were in the dark. There is no bottom to be seen beneath the flooded surface.

He hadn't seen the little girl for a while.

Taller and thinner.The big blue eyes full of warm light were shining brightly. When looking up at him, the eyelashes drew a beautiful silhouette under the eyelids, and the plump red lips were gently pressed.

She would purse her lips like this when she had something on her mind or was in a bad mood. In the past few years, he basically judged her mood by looking at her micro-expressions, and managed to avoid the "wrath of thunder" a few times.

Although "Thunder" is just ignoring him.

Leah was wearing a white half-sleeved dress, a woolen coat and a white satchel on her elbow.Despite the close proximity, the temperature in Marinfando is much lower than that of the Chambord islands.

She was not someone who would let the scene be cold, and she was the first to break the silence and politely called out: "Lieutenant General Sakaski, what a coincidence."

Sakaski didn't speak, and was silent for a few seconds before slowly "hmm" and asked her, "Why are you here?"

Leah said succinctly: "Work."

Sakaski frowned: "Who brought you here?"

Liya was helpless, and wondered if Sisser was aware of where he had brought her?

It didn’t take long to come out, but the atmosphere here is not suitable for continuing to stay. Liya smiled slightly: “It’s just to socialize with the boss. Speaking of it, I should go back. I’ll take my leave first, Saka Lieutenant General Ski."

She turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly Sakaski grabbed her forearm, staggered, and almost missed into the opponent's arms.

Leah looked up at him in surprise.

The familiar slightly scalding heat and rough calluses on the palm were not strong enough to make her feel pain, but she was not capable of struggling to get away.

The temperature in Sakaski's embrace was slightly higher, and the smell of his hormones mixed with a hint of alcohol instantly wrapped around her body under the conduction of heat.

Instinctively feeling that her personal freedom had been violated, Leah took a small step back and tightened her hands.

It hurts a little now.

She frowned slightly, and heard him ask in a low voice above her head: "Why are you still angry?"
