[One Piece] Almighty staff

The climate in the East China Sea is very mild at this time of year, and the sea breeze blowing into the Windmill Village from the port brings a refreshing temperature.Liya was disturbed at Makino's house for a few days, and when she felt a little better, she made arrangements to move.

There is a vacant house not far from the village head's house. The village head said that the previous owner of this house passed away many years ago, and the location is not good, so he just left it there.Now the hut is dilapidated. When Leah found it, the wooden structure was basically decayed, and the roof almost didn't exist.

Garp said that he was going to repair the warship and it has not been seen yet.Liya couldn't count on him, so she asked the navy soldiers on the warship to help repair the house, so that it could be lived in anyway.

She knew that Garp wanted Luffy to stay in Windmill Village early in the morning. She also knew that the village chief and Makino are kind and reliable people. They will definitely take good care of this child so that he can grow up safely and healthily. It must be safe in Windmill Village.

But Leah always felt that Luffy needed a shelter of his own.

Children who grow up without their parents and family members, at least don't have to experience the bondage of being dependent on others.Even if it's just a place to sleep, it's still a place for Luffy to go.

I just hope that she thinks too much, maybe the rough nerves and cheerful optimism inherited from the Meng Qi family are enough to make Lu Fei grow up happily.

Coming to the new environment, Luffy obviously adapted better than everyone else.His prodigious appetite and high energy are also on display.

Luffy is a typical "star person who will die if he doesn't move around".The child didn't want to stay alone in the crib with a guardrail for more than 3 minutes when he wasn't sleeping, otherwise his dry howling would haunt Leah all day long.Leah often had to seal the doors, windows and the bottom of the bed tightly when doing housework, to prevent Luffy, who was crawling all over the floor, from running out or getting trapped in a certain gap in the furniture.

Makino helped Leah a lot, and even though she was three or four years younger than Leah, she was already very capable.And this girl is very enthusiastic, and will come to help her whenever she has time.Thanks to her, Leah quickly settled Luffy.

After staying in Windmill Village for a week, there was no clue about Lili's whereabouts, and Liya was very anxious.It's just that no matter how anxious she was, her face didn't reveal the slightest bit.

In the morning, Makino came to give Luffy the little clothes he made, and saw Leah sitting at the table reading a newspaper.There was a small cake hanging on a string above Luffy's head. The child struggled to get up and reach for it while holding the table legs. His little legs trembled and he half squatted, and the corners of his mouth were drawn down for a long time. .

Liya heard the movement, raised her head and smiled at Makino, her blue eyes rolled: "Good morning, Makino."

Makino happily entered the door: "Good morning, Miss Leah! I changed a few clothes for Lu Fei-chan. I made them out of the clothes I wore when I was a child. Let's see if they fit."

Leah put down the newspaper, picked up the string tied with the cake, and placed it on the table out of Luffy's reach: "Thank you so much, Maggie. I'm worried that Luffy doesn't have enough clothes."

The few clothes the child's father sent were quite good, but unfortunately they were all too big, and they would be about the same for Luffy when he was three or four years old.The clothes were made of good material, so Leah was not willing to change it down.Besides, she was penniless, and the clothes were new and soft, so they looked cheap, and she couldn't explain it to Bogart.

She put all her clothes in the closet anyway, and she'd see them when Makino helped tidy them up after they left.At that time, she will naturally know when it can be worn by Luffy.

Although there was no discussion, Leah still consciously decided not to reveal his visit.One is because her own affairs are also very troublesome, and she doesn't want to cause complications.Besides, the revolutionary army has not yet grown strong at this time, and the world government may not think much of it.

The cake was gone, and Luffy let out a disappointment.But he ate enough in the morning, even though he was hungry, he didn't cry.It's just that the eyes and saliva are sticky, staring at the little cake.

Liya picked him up, pinched the tip of his nose and put him in the crib, and gave him a wooden gun to play with: "When will I learn to stand up, and when will I have cake to eat."

It is said to be a wooden gun, but it is actually a piece of "L" shaped wood that Leah picked up outside. After sanding it a little smoother, it was used as a toy for Luffy.Fortunately, Luffy didn't dislike it, and he was very happy to chew on it as a molar stick.

Liya greeted Makino: "Why did you come here so early? Have you had breakfast? I made a lot of sweet porridge in the morning. Would you like some?"

Sure enough, there was a large pot of sorrel grain porridge stuffy in the kitchen. As soon as the lid was opened, sweet and sweet air rushed in.Makino had already eaten breakfast, but it didn't prevent her from sitting at the dining table with a bowl in her hand to eat her second meal.

Miss Leah said that she is in the most important development period for girls and is still growing.Makino didn't take a sip, and turned her head to see Luffy drooling at her while grabbing the crib's fence.

The child's chubby belly was obviously full, but the little gluttonous appearance was so pitiful, Makino felt that it would be okay to give him another bite... right?

She took a peek first and saw that Leah was turning around to pack her things, so she took a spoonful of porridge and quickly stuffed it into Luffy's wide-open mouth.

Luffy sucked the hot porridge in his mouth, stuck out his tongue suddenly, and a mouthful of porridge fell into his little paw.It was only then that Makino remembered that he forgot to cool him down.She let out a soft "hey" and was about to wipe it off with a handkerchief for Luffy. Luffy quickly stuffed the sticky porridge back into his mouth, and sucked his palm clean.

Makino clutched the handkerchief: "..."

Leah, who was going to pretend she didn't see it: "..."

Bogart didn't know where he got the fax machine. In the past two days, he found a quiet place by himself and worked hard to handle the paperwork for the chief.Liya also helped him deal with some relatively trivial routine documents, and simply classified all kinds of documents, but she was not easy to touch the internal information, so she could only let Bogart work hard alone.

Bogart was busy. Because the soldiers on the warship had no extra funds, they had to go to the only shipyard in the Kingdom of Goa to work hard every day in exchange for materials and labor for repairing the warship.And the person who should be thinking about the next matters here, their highest officer Lieutenant General Garp, has completely lost contact.

In this regard, the village head of Fengche Village said that it doesn't matter: "If you have played enough, you will run back by yourself."

The village chief's tone was really careless, as if he was talking about the dog at home.Leah could only say nothing about it.

So Liya naturally returned to the rhythm of life five years ago, doing housework at home and taking care of the children every day. Even better, she doesn't have to go to school now.Liya, who is good at housekeeping, also spent her spare time planting a dozen cabbages in front of the house, and brought a few fluffy little yellow chickens from the villagers' homes, planning to raise them and eat them with raw eggs.

In fact, she had carefully considered this kind of life before.When Lili grows up to work and can take care of herself, she will find a remote and quiet place, use her savings to buy a small house, grow vegetables every day, raise some small animals and so on, which is also very good.Looking at it this way, life in Fengche Village is still a bit comfortable... What a mess! Let’s talk about the plan 20 years later!

After patiently and anxiously waiting for a week and getting Luffy's basic life settled, Leah felt that she had to do something no matter what.

She entrusted Luffy to Makino, who was still a little girl but extremely reliable, and decided to go to the Kingdom of Goa—after staying in the system for a long time, she always gave priority to official or other formal channels when solving problems .

She wanted to go to Rogue Town, and counting the days, Smoker would be here soon.At that time, because of Teacher Zefa's request, the transfer went through her specially, so she remembered the time limit for her appointment very clearly.

The Kingdom of Goya is considered a well-known country in the East China Sea.The reason for being famous is "spotless, the most beautiful country in the East China Sea".Leah carefully studied the newspapers for a few days and found that the social class stratification in this country is very clear and thorough.

She found that the Goa Kingdom's definition of nobles and commoners seemed to describe two different creatures.The state power ruled by this system is indeed very stable, the policy of ignoring the people has been passed down from generation to generation, and brainwashing is deeply rooted.Despite the polarized distribution of resources, the people of this country will always get by as long as they don't starve to death.

While Leah felt uncomfortable about this, she was also very grateful that Windmill Village was almost completely cut off from the Goa Kingdom because of its remote and remote location.The people in the village are therefore very bold and free.

This kind of system is actually a way of governance that will be praised and respected by the media, Liya is not too surprised.I just feel that I am living in this world, and even my breathing is a little heavier.After all, the air flowing from a place not far away is filled with an invisible substance called "oppression".

Of course, a country like the Goa Kingdom is not enough to be seen in the world, but it only has a little influence on the local area.

Leah saw the recruitment notice from the same merchant fleet on the Donghai Times for three consecutive days, which stated that manpower was needed until the fleet set sail this afternoon.She decided to try her luck.

The capital of the Goa Kingdom is the living area of ​​the nobles. There are special gate guards at the city gates. The main purpose of the gate guards is to prevent low-level people who are not nobles from entering the capital to "pollute the environment". The purpose of intercepting civilians is greater than ensuring safety.

However, very few civilians would trespass into the aristocratic districts. After being taught by class classification education for too many years, everyone is very "self-aware".In the anime, Luffy Ace Sabo is so bold that he took the aristocratic token of Sabo's family to pass through the gate of the outer city and enter the urban area.

Leah had no trouble entering the downtown area.In the past few days in Fengche Village, she always wore old cotton and linen dresses given to her by the villagers. They were not beautiful, but they were very convenient for doing things.Going into town today, just in case she changed into a couture little red dress that had been washed and dried the day before—she thought Sakalski wouldn't be able to pack.Daily clothes accounted for more than [-]% of the closet, so this man had to be careful to keep the most expensive ones hanging in the back.

Wearing a very beautiful and expensive dress, carrying a brand new red leather bag, and stepping on shiny leather shoes, Liya walked into the city gate with her head held high, without even glancing at the guards as she passed by.So Leah, who looked like a big lady going out on the street, entered the city smoothly, and the guards didn't dare to stop her at all.

Instead, the tall and thin lieutenant who took her to the city had been in and out for several days, and he still had to show the pass signed by the royal family when he came again.

At the shipyard, she took a look at the warships that had been repaired in all directions, and Liya said goodbye to the tall and thin lieutenant.In the impression of the thin and tall man, the lady of General Sakaski's family has always been very modest, so when Lia said that he wanted to go shopping, he didn't ask much, and simply waved her way.

The tall and thin lieutenant earnestly told her: "We will leave the city and return to Windmill Village at about five o'clock in the afternoon. Miss Leah should not go too far."

Knowing that Leah had no money with him, he even took out his wallet and set aside some pocket money for her from their lunch expenses under the bitter eyes of his colleagues.Facing the fatherly gaze of the tall, thin and tall man, Liya felt so guilty that she decided to bring a gift to visit her when she had the opportunity in the future to apologize.

Going through the aristocratic district to the designated port in the newspaper was a shortcut, and this time Leah was stopped.The guards of the capital city should also be the children of the noble family, they are more courageous, and they know each noble family well.No matter how aristocratic Leah looks, she is still a familiar face, which inevitably makes people suspicious.

She didn't panic at all. Seeing the guard approaching, Leah frowned and scolded, "Don't come here!"

Because it was so imposing, the two guards looked at each other and stood where they were.

This kind of tone was actually learned from Diana. She usually listened to the impatient tone of Lieutenant General Dauberman when she directed the little nurses, suppressed the restless patients, and Leah couldn't help but feel the essence of it.Not to mention, it's pretty easy to use.

Recalling Diana's expression, Liya wrinkled her nose in disgust, raised her chin and looked at people with one-third of her nostrils, and said in a cold tone, "Stinky men don't come near me."

The two guards made eye contact, and the slightly taller one stood there, smiling kindly.He opened his mouth cautiously: "This lady is not very familiar, who is the guest of an adult family?"

Although he is also an aristocrat, if he is able to guard the inner city gate, he is usually either the illegitimate child of an aristocrat, or his family is down and out.These guards are very winking and dare not offend anyone easily.

Leah put her chin down a little bit, looked at them hastily, and said impatiently: "It wasn't the two of you who were here yesterday afternoon."

This is complete nonsense.But I also know that the guards also have to change shifts every day. Even if Liya nodded, and there happened to be guards who had been guarding the gate for several days, she could still play the arrogant and domineering noble lady's temper and say that she didn't remember.

Fortunately, the shift system of the guards in the capital is still normal. The two guards looked at each other, and the short guard said, "We came here this morning for a shift change. Do you need any help?"

The well-dressed aristocratic lady flicked her hair, and glanced at them with lofty eyes: "The luncheon is about to start, and I have to go back to my cruise ship to pick up the dress. Is there a carriage here?"

As she said that, she sniffed herself with a look of disgust: "There is really no fun in the common people's place. The shampoo in the hotel is simply ruining my skin."

The Kingdom of Goa is going to hold a birthday banquet for the queen today. Nobles from nearby countries have been invited. In the past two days, they have taken luxury cruise ships to the port of the capital city to attend the birthday banquet.The newspapers of the Kingdom of Goa carried out a detailed follow-up report on this.

This young lady was probably the daughter of a foreign aristocrat who left her attendants and went to the outer city to play alone when she first arrived in the capital. The two guards had already confirmed this possibility in their hearts.But because of the impatience and displeasure in Leah's eyes, the two didn't dare to ask more questions.After a quick discussion, they borrowed the public carriage from the guard.

Liya was full of dissatisfaction: "How dare you give me such a small and broken carriage?"

She showed contempt for everything here, and the guards were annoyed in their hearts, maintaining a humble smile on their faces, patiently persuading this arrogant noble lady: "Although it is a little small, the carriage is very stable."

"The carriages are cleaned regularly and are very clean."

"The luncheon is about to start. If we look for a car again, we will definitely not have enough time."

"Why don't you just settle for a while...?"

In the end, because of time constraints, Miss Leah "reluctantly" "wronged" herself to sit in the carriage.Because "I don't want to lose face", Leah got out of the car when there was still a short distance from the port.

After the guards drove the carriage out of her sight, Leah went out through another gate of the capital.

The port of the capital city is very clean, because the birthday party of Queen Goa is also very lively now.All kinds of luxurious cruise ships occupy a large area of ​​the coast, and the merchant fleets of the nobles of the country are interspersed, filling the entire port to the brim.

Among them, there are many dock workers carrying goods, and women selling snacks to the ship's attendants and ordinary merchants with baskets on their shoulders. They are all plainly dressed citizens.Leah knew that they were all the people of the Goa Kingdom who made a living along the towering walls of the capital and circled more than half a circle to reach the port.

She soon found the recruiting fleet among the assorted ships.The cargo workers in front of that fleet are the most in the entire dock, and two people who specialize in recording the quantity of goods are arranged to count them separately.The middle-aged man who looked like the team leader stood on the way for the workers to come and go, urging with a loud voice.

At first glance, it looks like a fleet that has temporarily accepted an emergency mission. Only such a fleet that is in a hurry to set sail and has no time to prepare will be so anxious to find personnel.But looking at the regulations, it is indeed a regular fleet.

Leah observed for a while, not rushing to the merchant ship.

The capital port is also in line with the title of "the most beautiful country in the East China Sea" of the Goa Kingdom. The layout here is beautifully planned, and the ground is paved with snow-white stone slabs.Such a place where people come and go, but there is no mess at all.

But no matter how clean and beautiful a port is, there must be room for ordinary people who are not nobles to eat and rest.

Ordinary people in the capital can't easily enter, so where do people on foreign merchant ships go to rest?

Leah stared at a group of young sailors who seemed to have just landed, followed them from a distance, and found a small "commercial area".

There are taverns, restaurants and hotels, and there are also two clothing stores.Although small, Leah has everything she could want.It's not meal time, the tavern is much more lively than the restaurant, Liya bought two pieces of bread and a pot of water in the small tavern, and then walked back towards the port.

She changed into a long-sleeved dress that ordinary girls in the Goa Kingdom usually wear. The skirt hangs long over her feet, covering her shiny leather shoes.Most of her light brown curly hair was wrapped in a bright red checkered turban.

With the blue floral cloth burden on her back, she looks like a young and beautiful little woman.

The little woman stood still in front of the irascible captain, and asked softly with a smile, "I heard that you are urgently recruiting medical personnel?"

--------

Smoker is one of the rare Naval Academy students who was assigned to work in the four seas before formally graduating.The main reason is that he himself does not want to stay at the Navy Headquarters.

Many people can't understand this wayward thinking.As a navy, staying at the headquarters of the navy is the best choice for a military career.Moreover, Smoker himself is very clear that his ideas and choices theoretically violate the Navy's military regulations.

Teacher Zefa loves students very much, but he is also very strict in some aspects.He was ready to be punished, but the teacher didn't blame him.Not only did he not accuse him of being willful, the teacher even asked someone to help him arrange a position at the naval base in the East China Sea.

Since then, Smoker has been taken out on missions very frequently. Not only is Zefa leading the students' learning missions, but Zefa has also entrusted him to disciples who have graduated for many years and have held high positions.For example, in the middle of Huoshaoshan, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel, General Kuzan who was just promoted, etc.

Most of the time he followed Kuzan's warship.

According to Teacher Zefa, Kuzan's attitude has been a little slack recently, and he needs to be tempered just like an ignorant disciple.

For Smoker at this stage, it is really a thrilling thing to follow the generals to go out on missions.But his strength and experience have also been greatly improved and increased.The accumulated military achievements are on his shoulders, and when he is about to take office, he has been abruptly promoted from the rank of private first class in the Naval Academy to the position of major.

Smoker went out with Zefa for the last mission before taking office.Because of graduating early, it is impossible for him to have a warship or an official ship to send him to the post.

Teacher Zefa only gave him a small boat and a small amount of rations of fresh water after the mission was over, and drove him off the warship quite rudely, asking him to find a way to go from the South China Sea to the East China Sea.

Even without the Eternal Pointer, Smoker drifted in the South China Sea for half a month before finally touching the Upside Down Mountain.After finally surviving the waterway of the Upside-Down Mountain, and sailing steadily on the sea of ​​the Great Channel for 2 minutes, the sharp crisis radar that Smoker had trained in these days started beeping crazily in his mind.

He jumped up suddenly, and before he had time to react, his boat was blasted into the sky by a thick jet of high-pressure water!

The moment Smoker jumped out of the boat, the small wooden boat fell apart, and he fell hard on some smooth and hard surface, and was bounced off.

Before falling into the sea, he clearly saw a huge eye staring at him from the side.

A child's voice came from somewhere above: "Labo, we made a mistake again, that's not a big fish! Σ(°△°|||)︴"

Demon fruit users cannot swim in the sea. The moment Smoker fell into the icy water, what he thought was:

This brat...why does his voice sound so familiar?
