Sentine Island is a vast island on the great route. On this island stands a country that can be called ancient in the history of the world.

This country is exactly the country ruled by one of the 800 kings who established the world government 20 years ago, and it is also the only royal family that was disqualified from being a Celestial Dragon because of its refusal to enter the holy land of Mariejoya—Nafei The Rutari family.The country ruled by this family so far is Alabasta on Sentine Island.

Alabasta is a country built in the desert, so it also has the alias "Sand Country".This country is famous for its perennial hot and dry climate and ancient culture. Its port capital, Nahana, located at the front gate of the kingdom, is a well-known perfume capital on the great waterway.

Tamalisk is not far from Nahana, but Lieutenant General Garp's warship only stays until evening, and the time to go back and forth is too short, so Leah, who is eating in a small restaurant here, has to give up going to visit. will.

Tamalisk is located on the eastern coast of Alabasta. It is one of the coastal cities where ships replenish resources. It has a relatively prosperous business industry.Commodities produced in other cities in Alabasta are also often shipped here for sale.

Under the eaves of the restaurant where Liya ate, there was a display cabinet filled with all kinds of perfume bottles. All kinds of perfume bottles were shining brightly, attracting the attention of female customers.The boss said that it is his son's business in Nahana, and interested guests can take it out to watch and try it out.

Although she doesn't usually use perfume, Leah is still very interested in Alabasta's perfume, so she went up to choose and watch it with other female guests.

In the end, she chose a crystal bottle containing a deep red liquid and a white ceramic bottle. The smells of these two perfumes were very similar, and Leah hesitated.So, like all girls who can't make a choice when shopping, she turned to her companion for advice: "Mr. Bogart, which bottle do you think is better?"

Lieutenant General Garp's adjutant Mr. Bogart accompanied Leah and Lili on this trip.This is a gentleman of few words but very polite and patient towards ladies.

Facing Liya's request for help, Bogart first sniffed the scent carefully, and then pointed to the crystal bottle sincerely: "I think this bottle is better."

Lili was attracted by Alabasta's exotic cuisine with rich seasonings, and was sitting at the dining table burying himself in a big plate of noodles in brown sauce.

When Leah got up to pay the bill, Lili raised his face from the plate and asked in a low voice, "Does Mr. Bogart know perfume?"

Bogart also lowered his voice: "I don't understand it very well. If the taste is similar, just choose a bottle that looks good."

The climate in Alabasta is hot. When Leah walked out of the restaurant after eating, she felt the heat wave blowing towards her face. The strong light prevented her eyes from looking directly at the white road surface illuminated by the sun.

Even though she had put on the local Alabasta costume early in the morning, covering every inch of her body with a turban and a white robe, Leah still felt the pain of being burned by the sun.

But her heart is very open.It has been six years since she came to the world of One Piece, and this is the first time Leah has breathed the air outside Marin Fandor, which is hot and light.

This is Alabasta. A few years later, there will be a young pirate who loves adventure, leading his partners to save this country that was controlled by a conspiracy and fell into war.But... the blazing sun, the bustling streets, the delicious special dishes, the wonderful perfumes that are famous far and wide; and the temperature under your feet at this moment, the touch of soft cloth on your sweaty skin, the smell of spices, perfume and sunshine on your nose ——Before that began, she experienced it briefly and truly.

Holding Lili's hand, Liya walked around the busy street with great interest.When seeing novel things, I couldn’t help but occasionally chat with Bogart about Alabasta’s rudimentary public infrastructure, and my hands were unconsciously filled with bags of specialties.

When Leah was enjoying the joy of shopping on the streets of a foreign country, an unexpected visitor came to the office of Lieutenant Colonel Norbein, Chief of the Archives Department of the Logistics Department Building of the Marine Vandor Naval Base.

The archives department finally got through the busiest time period since the chaos of changing household registration and military ranks this year in the past few days.Everyone in the archives department resumed their normal work rhythm, the staff performed their duties, the working atmosphere was harmonious and friendly, and the temper of the section chief, Nuo Beiyin, became much more amicable.

For example, at this very moment, she can calmly face the sudden visit of Lieutenant General Sakaski, a famous celebrity in the Navy Headquarters, and not investigate the other party's rude behavior of delaying her work time and trespassing on the archives department without an appointment.

"Ah, you said Nobio."

Nuo Beiyin took a sip of cold beer while holding the thermos cup, and said calmly: "Yes, I let her have a long vacation."

The adjutant following Sakaski was sweating profusely: "Isn't Miss Liya a new employee? Where can I take a long vacation?"

Nuo Beiyin couldn't help showing a smile of admiration: "Speaking of which, that little girl is really talented. Thanks to her, the Archives Department was able to end the dark period of chaos a month earlier."

From then on, starting from the archives department led by her Nuo Beiyin, she no longer had to be afraid of a huge workload suddenly added.

This little girl is really good at sorting out information.

However, Nuo Beiyin will never disclose the inside story of this matter to places other than the archives department. Otherwise, if it is known that their department's work efficiency has improved by leaps and bounds, who knows if it will lead to more and more arduous work?Everyone knows the truth of making a fortune in silence. The staff in the archives department are very conscious and keep their mouths shut.

You must know that the Finance and Supply Sections of the Logistics Department, the Naval Science Force independent of the Logistics Department, the Frontline Reconnaissance Army, and the Exploration Army all have very close cooperation with the Archives Department.

Usually, people from these major departments and teams often put forward some difficult demands on the archives department, using the archives department as an encyclopedia, news collection, calendar of major events and other inexplicable things, which made her old subordinate of the archives department When they are old, they still have to study history, geography, science and biology by themselves, fully practicing the essence of "live and learn".The staff who just graduated from the Naval Academy started to lose their hair at a young age, and they generally developed a serious and old-fashioned temperament after working for less than two years. They were smoothed by the bastard colleagues outside the department and the ocean of books. .

The Hateful Archives Division was also dubbed "Nerdy Paradise" by talkative soldiers.

Nuo Beiyin: Who is to blame for this?

Sakalski pinched the leave note approved by Nuo Beiyin, feeling a bit of headache unexpectedly.

He has been very busy recently.

really busy.

Marshal Kong and the world government seem to have reached a certain consensus and began to delegate power to his generals.When General Zefa first heard that Kong was going to delegate power, he immediately packed up and took a boatload of students out to fight pirates.Lieutenant General Karp had a keen intuition, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he turned his head and skipped work.As a result, piles and piles of military affairs were crushed on the Warring States.

Only when Lieutenant General He, who was stationed in Beihai for special missions in the past two years, occasionally contacted the headquarters, he was moved by the desolate status quo of the Warring States Period. Telecommuting shared some work and relieved a little burden for the Warring States Period.

But distant water cannot save near fire, and cranes also have important tasks that require constant attention, so it is impossible to help all the time.In the Warring States Period, there was really no way out. We picked and picked among the existing lieutenant generals in the headquarters. After Sakalski, Kuzan, and Polusalino, they also recruited Ghost Spider, Dauberman, Huoshaoshan and others. strong man.

But Kuzan, the little brother, doesn’t know what’s going on in the past few years. He has gradually lost his “passion” and started to love to sleep instead; Polusalino has always been lazy, and he still manages the scientific team in his hands, and he doesn’t have much energy; Ghost The spider was too ruthless, Dauberman had a bad temper, and both of them followed the path of emphasizing martial arts over literature. They acted in a very hateful way, and dared not entrust them with too delicate tasks.

Only the good-tempered and patient Huoshaoshan and the outstanding work ability Sakalski can handle this important task.Among them, as a well-known workaholic model worker in the Navy Headquarters, Sakaski likes to mention the highest workload.

The branches of the Four Seas were gradually established, and all the generals who wanted to go further were trying their best to export their cronies.The treacherous and cunning old man in the Warring States Period left the task of deploying and arranging branch personnel to the stern and selfless Sakaski, and sure enough, his surroundings became much cleaner.

The changes in the headquarters are too obvious, and the marshals and generals have no intention of covering it up.Sakaski now has his brain broken into several pieces every day. While paying attention to the very likely promotion and handover, he handles heavy military affairs; "The phone bug (and no one dares to ask in person) is so soft.

Apart from his busy schedule, he also had to guard against the world government taking advantage of the chaos to attack Liya and Lili.

Liya will come of age next year, and the guardianship relationship will be terminated naturally at that time. Unlike Lili who is still young, she will lose the nominal protection of Sakaski.

The current situation is too chaotic, powerful forces that cannot be ignored at sea are rising one by one, and even anti-government "revolutionary troops" have emerged.Under the pressure of the situation, the relationship between the world government and the navy has become increasingly close, and there is no room for any elements that may tear the close relationship between the two parties.Leah, who may be holding evidence of the government's persecution of the admiral, is once again targeted by the government.

The incident stretched a string in Sakalski's head.

The Navy did get some data and evidence from Leah that was very unfavorable to the government. After a secret and comprehensive search, the Nobio family indeed had no relevant data.The world government will not fail to understand that the high-level navy is the one who has the information, but it is just a persimmon to pick up the soft ones, using Leah to force some high-level navy leaders headed by Sakalski to make an early decision.

The cooperation between the two parties has always been directed by the world government, and the result of mutual defense is that the navy, which is working hard on the front line, will get twice the result with half the effort because the government does not give convenience at all levels.The army really can't stand such exhaustion, so recently someone inside the navy has proposed to submit the relevant evidence to the government to show the sincerity of the navy and the world government's "combination".

Even Sakalski's long-time friend Jonathan, who guards the G-8 fortress of the branch, called: "No matter what the world government wants, you can agree to it. What kind of shit inspector sent by the government made me It takes half a month to beat pirates and collect stolen goods here, and if this continues, my soldiers will not even be able to eat! Don’t confiscate the stolen goods and rely on the government to raise wages?!”

Air and Sengoku are in favor of this proposal.Karp and Zefa are both representatives of the navy who have a great influence on young officers and soldiers, and it is inconvenient to express their opposition attitude directly.Naval soldiers and government employees already have a bit of dislike for each other. It is really not wise to let the soldiers be influenced by the admirals and naval heroes, and even more disgusted with the government that provides them with material foundation.

Still short of money.

Which of the following generals has no soldiers on the front line, although they despise the government's actions, they can't say anything against it.

So the key lies in Sakalski's attitude.

He is the guardian of the orphan of the victim, and to a certain extent represents the victim.

It's not that Sakaski can't bear this tone. He still can distinguish between old grievances and new enmity and world peace. The overall situation is the most important.It's just that he really doesn't want to part with it. He doesn't want to let go of the government's grip if he can hold it in his hands. The more the better.

Since its inception, the Navy has been tied to the World Government.The relationship between them has deepened over time, and the navy will always be at a disadvantage, controlled and used.The things that can be done and the places that can be changed are very limited.It's like a whale trapped in a pool. If it doesn't jump out while it's young, it will only be trapped to death in this shallow pool when it grows bigger.

The huge skin can temporarily frighten Xiaoxiao, but the flesh and blood inside will nourish the government.

It's a pity that the current situation can't help him to be willing or not.Sakarski knew that these three or two good cards in his hand could not be kept.But just handing it over like this, he still felt it was a waste, so he wanted to procrastinate and squeeze some benefits from the government.

Just in case, he tightly protected Liya and Lili, with 9 or 800 navy guards secretly, plus Liya's vigilance, Lili hugged General Zefa's thick thigh tightly, and they successfully stopped a group of soldiers A group of malicious government intelligence agents.Even the rumored [-]-year-old genius in cp[-] failed inexplicably.

So Sakarski was a little relieved and indulged in work.Now he only sleeps for three hours a day, except for eating, drinking, and lassing, he is working. Occasionally, he looks up at his subordinates as if they are looking at a file cabinet. He has neither expression nor emotion.

The generals are busy to death, idle to death, according to their own workload can figure out who will get the new general rank.

At such a time, Liya suddenly delivered bento for three days in a row, with spicy meals and soup, with caring and compassionate eyes and warm greetings. Sakaski said in his heart that no touch was fake.

In particular, Liya was very sensible, and she often waited for him to finish his meal, pack up the dishes and then leave.I never stay for a long time, I don't ask too many questions, and I don't raise my eyelids when the secrets are brought to me.Although he hasn't let him in so far, Sakaski thinks it's no big deal.Anyway, he was so busy that he could only sleep in the office, and the dawn was just around the corner, so trivial matters were not worth his attention.

As a result, all the work was finally finished, and the promotion list was settled.Back at the door of Leah's house, Sakarski found that the building was empty.The little girl only left a post-it note on the door, saying: Lieutenant General Sakaski doesn't have to worry about going out for a while with Lili.Although work is important, you should also pay attention to rest.When I come back, I will bring a gift to Sakarski (=^▽^=)~

— Sincerely, Leah.

Sakaski: "..."

The marines he sent to escort all looked blank.

Navy A, who is guarding the archives department: "This subordinate went home the same way after seeing Miss Liya asking for leave."

Naval B, a recent graduate of the Naval Academy, followed: "My subordinates saw Lili and Admiral Zefa going out to sea."

Navy C and D who borrowed the same floor as Leah's house: "Miss Leah hasn't come out since she came home."

Sakalski looked gloomy.He thought, things are already obvious, this is a pre-planned, planned, and prepared-running away from home.

The adjutant judged his words and made a decisive decision to divert the trouble to the east, and directed his own officer's attention to the logistics department.

Miss Liya's boss, Nobein, the head of the archives department, is just his wife's best friend. She has outstanding abilities, hot personality, hard temper, and sharp voice. First, she will consume the officer's anger Not a problem at all!

It's a pity that Nobein's work went smoothly, he was in a good mood, and his responses were quite gentle and polite, and he casually dumped the blame on Colonel Sisser, the head of the logistics department: "Nobio said he was going to travel, but Colonel Sisser helped to check the recent Those generals who have traveled all over the world have put her on a warship."

Of course, they didn't find Colonel Sisser either.

Seeing that the face of the silent officer along the way became more and more ugly, the adjutant's heart fluttered, and he followed Sakaski as quietly as a chicken.

After walking in silence for 10 minutes, Sakaski spoke succinctly:

"Go check."

Adjutant: "Yes."

"Ready to sail at any time."

The adjutant didn't dare to mention the awarding ceremony next week, so he lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yes."

Sakaski glanced at the note in his palm, his face was cold and hard.

The government will find out the fact that Leah is not in Marlin Vandor within three days.

I don't know whose warship it left with.

Sakalski rarely felt a little tired.

He took off his hat and rubbed his forehead with a headache.

"Bullshit."
