[One Piece] Almighty staff

Chapter 24 Polsalino

On weekend mornings, Liya grinds soybean milk in the kitchen.Lili was wearing pajamas with a boat pattern and rushed out of the bedroom like a small cannonball. He held up the photo he found by the bedside and excitedly circled around Liya: "Leah! Leah! Can this be given to Lili?"

What Lili was talking about was the photo sent back by Rosindi. Liya hesitated for a long time before deciding to show Lili the photo.

Liya smiled: "Yes, but Lili must keep it safe and not let anyone know about it. Teacher Zefa can't do it either."

After Lili's fifth birthday, he learned Taishu from Zefa's side. According to Zefa, he is very talented, and Lili himself likes it very much, so even though this child often comes home with a bruised nose, a swollen face, and injuries, Lili Ya still suppressed her distress and did not stop him from continuing to study.

Recently, the Naval Academy sent away another batch of graduates. Lili stayed with Zefa every day and got to know the students well. It was inevitable that he would feel a little disappointed at such a time.

So I started talking about Rosindi, Lu Qi and Kedolu.

Lu Qi's whereabouts are government secrets. Kedolu's hometown was hit by a disaster and suffered heavy losses. Kedolu's grandma seems to be seriously ill, and he will not be able to return to Marin Fando in a short time.

Liya couldn't bear to see her younger brother's depressed look of drooping his head and pinching plasticine all day long, so she put the photo on Lili's bedside after thinking about it.

The small stone mill for grinding soymilk was made by Liya after she drew a picture and asked Teacher Zefa to make it herself. It used a very hard riverside stone, so it was also very heavy.Liya rubbed the pestle for a while, her hands were sore, Lili hid the photo sensiblely, and came to grind it for her.

Leah graciously let go.Lili has been strong since he was a child, and he was able to carry rice upstairs for Liya when he was five years old.

Lili pushed Shi Mo to watch Leah fry the poached eggs, and asked cautiously, "Leah~ won't you go home for Lieutenant General Sakaski today?"

Leah raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

Lili felt guilty, his hands moved at double speed, and the heavy small stone mill was swirling in his hands: "Because Liya doesn't go to the dormitory recently..."

Liya: "That's because Liya is not busy with work recently... so much is enough, go change your clothes and brush your teeth."

Is my sister still angry?

But if you ask again, you will definitely not tell Lili.

Lili sighed in annoyance and went to brush his teeth.

After breakfast, Lili picked up the huge bento bag and went out with Liya.In addition to his bento, there are two copies of Zefa and Sakarski in the bento bag.The appetite of the three of them is above the standard, and they are so strong that they feel heavy on their backs even when the bento bag is pressed down.

Sakaski's share is the heaviest.Fortunately, there is no soup today.

Li Li was carrying a lunch bag, determined to find a way to make Lieutenant General Sakaski get Lia's forgiveness as soon as possible.

Generally, when there is plenty of time, Liya will send Lili to the college and then return to the logistics department building to work.

When Lili was about to arrive at the academy today, he suddenly remembered to tell her about officially entering the Naval Academy.Although Lia was relieved to hand over the admission procedures to Zefa, but in order to prevent any omissions, Lia still asked carefully.This took some time.

When returning to the logistics department, Liya decided to take a shortcut and take a road near the Science Department building in order to save time.

As soon as she reached the position where she could see the building of the Ministry of Science, Liya saw a familiar figure bouncing into the building of the Ministry of Science with a huge bento bag on her back.

Liya was taken aback, lifted her skirt and chased after two steps: "Lili!"

The Science Department Building, like the Marshal Building, is the military center with the highest access authority in the naval base.Those who are not members of the Navy under the Ministry of Science need a special pass to enter.Even if it is Sakalski, he must be accompanied by a commissioner from the Science Department when he enters and exits.

Lili walks like trotting.Because the food is good and the appetite is large, despite the heavy training tasks, Lili is still a little fat man with baby fat on his face, and "da da da" looks cheerful and joyful when he runs.Lia couldn't keep up in her wedge-heeled leather shoes.

Seeing Lili running directly into the building, Liya was so anxious that her forehead was sweating.I don't know what happened to the Science Department today, there is not even a guard at the door...

Leah's footsteps stopped for a moment, feeling something was wrong.

Rubbing the suddenly painful temples, Liya suddenly spun her eyes and squatted down before falling down.Looking up again, the building of the Ministry of Science is close in front of you, and there are clearly two guards standing at the door, but they are both wearing masks.

Liya sniffed the slightly bitter smell left in the air, and immediately scolded the Science Department in her heart.

A footstep came around from behind and stopped in front of Liya.

Leah blinked at the flip flops in front of her, and looked up slowly, skipping over the hair-covered calves and yellow floral underpants, and faced a... indescribable face with drooping eyebrows.

Leah looked at the winking face, and greeted calmly and politely: "Good morning, Lieutenant General Polusalino."

Polusalino bent over and looked at her for a while, as if he suddenly remembered: "Oh~ Isn't this the little girl from the Sakalski family~"

The future yellow ape general has a dark complexion, wearing a yellow shirt on the upper body and a classic white vest, and sunglasses in the chest pocket. From the neck to the instep, it is the same color as coffee.Leah thought to herself that he had just returned from a vacation on some coconut tree beach, and the yellow monkeys had turned into black monkeys.

Lieutenant General Polusalino, the black monkey, stretched out his hand towards her, and said in a careless tone, "I'm so sorry, that... the little girl from the Sakasky family~"

Liya lowered her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth, and smiled softly and innocently: "I'm Liya. Although I don't know what's going on, since there's nothing wrong, then it's fine."

I don't know what kind of gas experiment the yellow monkey is doing, and Liya instinctively thinks it's better not to get involved.

Standing up with the other's wrist, Liya continued to pretend to be stupid, and said hesitantly: "Just now... I seem to have seen my child run into the building..."

Polusalino glanced back, and the navy at the door saluted and replied: "Report to Lieutenant General Polusalino! No one went in just now."

Leah: "Eh? But..."

Polusalino put his hands on Lia's back naturally, and half pushed Lia away from the building of the Ministry of Science: "Well, well, it's all hallucinations, don't worry, the intelligence personnel of the World Government have discovered a Strange plants, the researchers of the Science Department are doing related experiments, but they did not expect the spread to exceed expectations..."

Liya's eyebrows twitched, and she obediently followed the other party's seemingly gentle and strong movements to leave, with a puzzled face: "Really, is it an experiment?"

It's a world government, and it's an experiment of the Ministry of Science. Is it really okay to just say something that involves military secrets so casually?A little self-conscious, Lieutenant General Polusalino!

"Hey~ Yes, this plant has a hallucinogenic effect. If you make good use of it, it might become a very good weapon. The cost is too high, and the spread range is not easy to control~"

Polusalino usually calmly said what was not suitable for Leah, a small employee in the logistics department, and his tone even brought a little kindness.

Leah: "..."

This person was not reminded at all, nor did he realize it.

But the hand... Polusalino's hand was firmly attached to her back, and the length of the palm easily covered the two shoulder blades on Leah's back. This was a controlling gesture that did not allow her to turn around.

Leah twisted her neck back tentatively.With the widest angle that a normal human body structure can achieve, as far as Lia can see, to the left is Polusalino's white vest and yellow shirt. She can vaguely smell the soup of miso tonkotsu ramen and the fragrance of bananas ;

To the right...Polusalino pushed her and made a sudden turn. Even if Leah was gifted enough to turn her head 180 degrees, she would never be able to see the building of the Ministry of Science.

Probably because she was discovered to be a bit of an inquisitor, Liya could only think embarrassingly, this early in the morning, Lieutenant General Polusalino ate a bit heavily.

Talking about secrets with her, but pushing her away involuntarily with his hands, Liya was at a loss.

"Miss Leah is going to be late for work, isn't she?"

Liya was startled, and she didn't bother to explore Polusalino's kind expression with ulterior motives, so she hurriedly said goodbye: "Ah, it's too late. I wanted to take a shortcut so I came here...Excuse me , Lieutenant General Polusalino."

Recently, personnel transfers within the Navy have suddenly become more frequent, and the classification work of the Archives Department, which was about to be completed, was once again disrupted, and all file sorting work had to be done from scratch.Liya felt that the head of the department, Ms. Nuo Beiyin, was so angry that she was about to transform into a fire-breathing east lion. Recently, she started work on time to avoid stepping on thunder.

I'm afraid I can't escape today.As the only employee in the archives department who has not fallen into the wrath of the chief, is the legend of her Leah Nobio finally coming to an end?

Liya sighed melancholy and relieved, and was about to quicken her pace when Polusalino stopped her again.

Polusalino smiled kindly: "Since you're in a hurry, why don't I give Miss Leia a ride?"

A flamboyant yellow low-slung classic car slid a coquettish S shape on the mainland. The headlights of the car stopped in front of Liya's eyes, and the car horn honked twice.

Polusalino patted the front of the car and introduced to Leah: "This is a custom-made transportation tool developed by the Ministry of Science, and my sparkling fruit ability is its starting energy."

Leah: "Wow."

This kind of transportation tool that looks cool, but can't be used without the owner, in fact, the biggest effect should be used to pretend.

After all, no matter how fast this car is, it is impossible to be faster than Polusalino himself.

Of course, it must be much faster than her walking on two legs.

Liya kept smiling, and sat in the car under the invitation of the other party with strong eyes that were irresistible.

Polusalino is lightning fast and can do whatever he wants.The yellow car honked its horn all the way, rampaging, and arrived at the gate of the logistics department building within a few minutes. Liya let go of the seat belt that had been clenched all the way.

She finally understood that the purpose of Huang Yuan talking so much and making such a big noise was probably to get her to pass on a message to Sakasky.

The content of the rumors includes but is not limited to the intention of the world government to return to the honeymoon period with the navy, the development of new weapons, the issue of arms can be discussed again, and so on.

Sakarski is dissatisfied with the World Government for various reasons but can endure and will endure for a long time.No hostility, but definitely not goodwill.

In the past, this attitude was sufficient for the world government, but now it seems that it is not enough.

As for why it wasn't enough, Leah, who was doing a lot of work in sorting out information on the promotion and promotion of naval positions in the archives department, could guess a little bit.

The navy is fairly consistent externally, but internally the generals have distinct ideas. Among them, there are two factions that are most respected and have the highest voices.They are the iron-blooded hawks who are ruthless, and the peace faction who pursues the eradication of rape and evil and protects the common people.Representatives of the Hawk Faction are Sakaski, Ghost Spider, Dauberman and other tough generals, and representatives of the Peace Faction are Zefa, Kuzan, Huoshaoshan and others.

Among them, there is no lack of ambiguous positions, such as Sengoku, Polusalino and others.

Recently, positions have been frequently deployed. After the deployment, the positions of the camps have become more distinct. The soldiers at the naval base have been affected by this, and the atmosphere in the barracks is quite high. .seven

Liya closed the last document of the new island discovery and compilation record file that had been checked, moved her stiff shoulders and neck, and emptied her mind amidst the sound of flipping through and writing books in the office.Due to the nature of the work and the confidentiality mechanism, there are no windows in the office of the archives department, and Liya can only stare at the white ceiling in a daze.

The Navy is about to change.

In the afternoon, I went to Lili, and I saw Smoker and Kuzan competing on the college playground. There was a circle of people around the playground, including students from the Naval Academy, and soldiers and lieutenants who slipped over from the nearby naval base to watch the excitement. Lili also He squatted beside Zefa and watched intently.

Leah glanced at it briefly, and Smoker was no worse than Kuzan at 01:30. It was a discussion, but it was Smoker who was all about venting his anger, and Kuzan gave friendly guidance to his juniors.

Zefa sat on the tree stump with a serious expression and a vertical line between his brows.

Leah smoothed the hem of her skirt, squatted on the other side of Zefa, and asked in a low voice, "What stimulated Mr. Smoker?"

Zefa rubbed his forehead: "The day before yesterday I went on a mission with Kuzan, and it's like this when I come back today."

Leah pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly realized: "This morning, it was reported that diamond mines were discovered in the new islands of the South China Sea. The naval chart needs to add the world government requisition mark. The reporter seems to be Lieutenant General Kuzan."

Zefa seemed even more troubled: "How could the aborigines survive the discovery of diamond mines in the new islands of the South China Sea?"

Liya is not surprised: "It is said that it is returned to the government, but in fact it is not in the hands of Tianlong people in the end."

"Once the Tianlong people are involved, there is no such thing as civilians. [-]% of the islanders were 'voluntarily' used as miners, and the rest of the civilians were sent to nearby deserted islands by Lieutenant General Kuzan to resettle in advance. "

On the field, Smoker's ten hands were frozen and broken, and Kuzan's head was simply covered with smoke.

Seeing the battle between the two, Zefa couldn't help shaking his head: "The world government is still a giant, but such a political system will have trouble sooner or later."

Zefa has the confidence to say this, but Leah is not good at talking.She smiled and said nothing, just listened.

As the battle on the playground came to an end, Kuzan stepped on Smoker's chest, and a thick, long and sharp ice spike formed from his palm, which was pressing against the white-haired boy's throat.

The boy's eyes ignited with fiery flames, he opened his mouth to say something, Kuzan looked slightly surprised, and then slowly lowered his face.

Zefa suddenly sighed softly, turned to Leah and said, "Leah, do me a favor."

Liya shook her head: "If there's anything I can do, the teacher can tell you, you're welcome."

Zefa: "I know that the archives department has access to the internal transfer information of the Four Seas branch's naval base. I want you to help me find out which branch has job vacancies."

Leah glanced at Smoker who was pulled up by Kuzan from a distance, and nodded in response.

This is where Luffy and Smoker meet at the beginning and the end.

Zefa murmured on the side: "Stinky boy, his stinky temper is exactly the same as Sakalski..."

However, the concepts and methods of doing things are very different.

------

Before going to bed at night, Lili asked Leah: "Leah, can't you see the world in Marin Fando?"

Liya paused for him to tuck the quilt: "Why does Lili ask such a question?"

Lili's big blue eyes glowed with moist luster under the warm yellow lamp, like a naive and ignorant puppy: "Brother Smoker said that, he told Lieutenant General Kuzan that staying in Marlin Vandor is a good idea. place, the real world can never be seen.”

Leah pondered for a while, and answered him earnestly: "Leah doesn't know the specific meaning. But Mr. Smoker probably wants to leave Marlin Vandor and go to the outside world to have a look."

Kissing Lilly's strawberry milk-scented curly hair, Leah said good night.

Recently, she has always wondered whether Lili has awakened the arrogance of knowledge, but Lili is still so young, and he has not shown the stress response of ordinary people after awakening arrogance... I still have to talk to Teacher Zefa.

Back in his room, there was a boy in a suit and leather shoes sitting by the desk by the window.The lights in the room were not turned on, and the young man pinched a photo in the cold moonlight to look at it carefully, and the sharp feline nails on his fingertips reflected a faint cold light.

Liya was shocked for a while, and called out in a low voice: "... Lu Qijun?"

The boy turned his head, and the beast's pupils glowed green in the backlit darkness.

Lu Qi's voice was quiet, cold and full of magnetism, and his voice was mixed with the unique hoarseness of young people after development: "Long time no see."

Liya didn't have time to be surprised, she closed the door behind her back, and asked a little nervously: "Why did you go back to Marlin Vandor suddenly? Is it because of work? It won't have any impact if you come here like this?"

Lu Qi stretched out his hand and flipped the switch of the lamp on the table with his long sharp nails, and a taller and stronger leopard-like body than before leaving was displayed in front of Leah: "I came back for work reasons, it doesn't matter."

He paused and said to her: "Unknown forces have appeared on the great channel with the aim of overthrowing the world government. The government is now eager to strengthen ties with the navy, and the navy will be in chaos for a while."

Leah: "..."

What's going on today?

Is the secret information of the world government so easy to know?

Lu Qi: "There are many people in the government who want to win over Sakaski. You and Lili are too conspicuous. I suggest you go to a safe place first."

Liya frowned, and looked up at him: "Mr. Lu Qi, you returned to Marin Fando, is it because of the mission of the Science Department?"

Lu Qi's eyes flashed, and he said without hesitation, "I saw you upstairs."

Leah: "That's right... have you received a mission for me?"

Unlike the situation in the navy where little is known about the guardianship relationship between Sakalski and Leah, for the custody of Leah and Lili, the top navy and the government almost didn't tear their faces.

Lu Qi didn't answer.

Leah walked around him and picked up the photo Lu Qi was looking at just now from the table. It was the photo of Rosindi.

Liya looked at the young man smiling silly in the photo, and smiled herself: "It's good, I know you and Rosindy are safe."

Lu Qi lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on the top of her hair: "If you want to know where he is..."

Leah stood on tiptoe, snorted vigorously on the little leopard's chin fur, and said with a smile: "No unnecessary things are allowed, I don't have anything that Lu Qi needs to take the risk of doing."

Lu Qi turned his head stiffly and resistingly: "Don't, don't touch!"

Liya put down her heels, and rubbed the chest hair of the other party's neckline that had to be opened because of leopardization, and smiled brazenly: "Well~ well~ don't be shy, anyway, I have touched it before."

After a little playfulness, the atmosphere is much more relaxed.

Li Ya said with a smile: "When I saw Lu Qijun just now, I was really shocked. Lu Qijun has... how should I put it, there is a terrible aura."

The young man's smile was slightly restrained, and the naturally upturned lips on Leopard Man's face made it difficult to distinguish the tiny facial expressions.

Lu Qi: "Really."

Liya put the photo in the drawer, and planned to put it back under Lili's pillow later: "Yes. Although I don't know what kind of work you are doing, but thinking about it, I know it must not be an easy task."

"No matter what, it's good to be safe."

Lu Qi looked at those bright, smiling blue eyes for a long time, and suddenly complex emotions surged in his chest.

Avoiding the girl's soft gaze, Leopard stepped on the window sill and said in a low voice, "Anyway, you should be careful. I...may not go back to Marin Fando again."

After finishing speaking, he jumped down, with a farewell that he couldn't get rid of tightly behind him: "Then when I have a chance, I will take Lili to play with you."

"Be careful, Lu Qijun."
