[One Piece] Almighty staff

"The new patrol list will be announced in five days..." Sakalski paused, and turned his gaze to his colleagues who kept looking at their watches: "Are you in a hurry, Dauberman?"

The eyes of the entire conference room were turned to the front right side of the large conference table.

Facing Sakalski's reminder, Lieutenant General Dauberman looked at his watch again, and replied calmly: "Yes, I have something urgent, haven't you finished Sakalski yet?"

The room was silent, except for Lieutenant General Garp's grunts that echoed regularly above the empty conference room in the Marshal Building.

Zhan Guo silently took out his handkerchief and covered his friend's open mouth.

Sakarski scowled. "It's only 10:30 in the morning."

Dauberman said confidently: "Today is Christmas, Sakalski!"

Sakaski: "So what, you didn't pay attention to this kind of dispensable festival before."

Dauberman got up and went around from the right side to the upper left side where Sakalski was: "I told you," he approached Sakalski, and said in a low voice, "Christmas is a carnival day for women , if I don't stop that woman before she goes to the bar, I don't know which bastard is spending the night with her tonight."

"At this point, she must still be watching the kid's sports meeting in that nursery."

Dauberman patted his colleague on the shoulder: "That's the way it is, then I'll take my leave first, Lieutenant General Sakalski."

Lieutenant Admiral Dauberman swaggered out of the door of the conference room, and the rest of the admirals in the room looked at each other in blank dismay.

It was Polusalino who spoke first: "Yeah? If that's the case, then I too..."

"despair"

The slight sound of folders knocking on the table made the entire meeting room silent again.

Polusalino raised an eyebrow.

Cap sucked the veil up to his throat, choked, and the snot bubble burst.He chewed it sleepily, spat out the veil, and yawned: "Ang? Is this boring meeting finally over?"

Zhan Guo coughed twice, and asked with an embarrassed smile, "Sakaski, what's the problem?"

Sakaski looked unpredictable: "Yes."

Warring States: "Then..."

Sakaski raised his eyes: "I have something to do, the rest of the routine assessment report is here, and I will leave it to you first, General Warring States."

After speaking, he pushed the document in front of Zhan Guo, turned his head and left the meeting room.

Warring States: "..."

Garp: "Ang? Isn't it over yet?"

Polusalino: "Hey~ the two lieutenant generals have already left, and I'm leaving too~"

The conference room was suddenly noisy.

Zhan Guo waved his hand with a headache: "Then let's go."

Lieutenant General Dauberman has never been to the nursery near the Naval Academy in more than ten years in the army, so it took a few minutes to find the direction.

But he never expected that when he stepped into the nursery, the tall figure familiar to his colleagues who should have been in the conference room caught his eye.

At the same time, he also saw the black-haired beauty next to him. Diana, who didn't need to wear a nurse's uniform, was even more beautiful and charming.More than [-]% of the men present unconsciously glanced at her frequently.

Dauberman frowned and waved away all the navy parents who saluted him. He strode up behind the two of them and almost bumped into Diana who just turned around.

Dauberman sighed inwardly with great regret.

The beauty frowned slightly, and glanced at him with her charming brown pupils: "Why are you here?"

Dauberman was softened by the pair of peach blossom eyes, and ignored the surprise and disdainful eyes of his colleagues, and lowered his voice: "Christmas, I'm here to treat you to dinner."

Diana brushed her hair back casually, with a half-smile: "You are here to spoil my good deeds, right?"

Lieutenant General Dauberman said calmly: "I'm not your good thing."

Sakaski, who was forced to listen in, suddenly felt unwell because he had eaten too much fat. He frowned and walked a little further away.

Diana couldn't hide her dislike, and rolled her beautiful eyes: "Lieutenant General Dauberman, please pay attention to the occasion when you speak."

Dauberman was finally sent to wait outside. Diana waited for Leah to come back after helping the nursery teacher distribute the drinks, and told her: "I have a pretty busy schedule today, so I'll leave first."

The little girl smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Okay, okay, Diana is going to spend the adult's Christmas, have fun."

After sending Diana off, she turned to Sakalski in surprise: "Mr. Lieutenant General is actually here~ Leah thought that Mr. Lieutenant General had forgotten about Lili's Christmas Games."

Sakaski responded with a light hum.

To be honest, he did completely forget that if he hadn't been reminded by Dauberman, he would probably be on the training ground all day today.

In fact, it's no big deal if you don't come.But Sakalski thought of the way the little girl clasped her fingers when she invited him, she was looking forward to it, but said sensiblely, "It doesn't matter if you don't come for something important", and felt that it was not good not to come.

"Although the parents of every baby in the nursery seem to go," the little girl smiled, her voice melancholy and ethereal: "However, Liya and Lili don't have parents in the first place, so there's nothing they can do."

When the little girl looked at him quietly with big blue eyes full of melancholy and sadness, Sakalski always felt that he had done something wrong.

Although she was so sincere and considerate, Sakalski had an inexplicable illusion of being forced, for which he felt a little bit ashamed and a few seconds of self-rejection.

Anyway, the training ground is only 10 minutes away from here, so it seems unreasonable not to come, after all, he is still the nominal guardian of these two children.

Sakalski took the seat Leah had reserved.

This location is on a high terrain, with a wide view and good scenery, but the parents are a little bit reluctant to let him go.

until the game starts.

Babies with an average age of one and a half years old stumbled and started their chaotic (fighting) of running (cooking) (chicken) (chicken) (big) obstacles (big obstacles).

When the whistle blew, there was a hoarse, deafening cheering cry from parents, and a petite mother excitedly stepped on her husband's shoulders, and the high-pitched decibels from her throat made even Sakalski Can feel the chair vibrating. .seven

The Navy parents were as excited as the spectators at the annual Naval Academy fight ring.Sakaski looked at the white-haired cub struggling forward while the red-haired cub was being grabbed by the hair of the blue-haired cub on the runway, and fell into an indescribable silence.

Can't fully understand.

Although the little ghost heads were clean and cute one by one, he observed suspicious paint soup and mud and sand stains on the coats of the parents. Sakaski, who knew nothing about the field of parenting, could not imagine that the cub habitat had been in this cub habitat for two years. What an unbelievable event that happened for an hour.

Liya sat beside him quietly, smiling and waving towards the field.

Following her gaze, the black-haired cubs of their family took the apples as "obstacles" into their pockets in a leisurely manner, crossed the finish line with a clear goal, and consciously took away the No.1 The chocolate trophy ran over with a shy belly.

The teachers intervened in the struggle of the cubs on the field, paying no attention to the situation here.

Liya hugged Roudundun's younger brother and dragged him into her arms with difficulty: "Hey, is it okay if Lili doesn't come on stage? Everyone will applaud!"

Lili didn't care about this at all, Xiaopang waved his hand and said arrogantly, "Fatty!"

Liya pinched the soft flesh on his face: "Okay, Liya fried a lot of small meatballs, let's go home and eat."

So Sakaski ate very full at noon.

Leah sat across from him holding Bai Shengsheng's little face, kicking her feet and making plans happily: "It's great that Mr. Lieutenant General is back (@^▽^@), I can help Lia get the Christmas tree this afternoon, And shopping for decorations and gifts…”

He was calculating the distance and time in his mind when the phone bug suddenly rang inappropriately.

The adjutant informed him that Marshal Kong called several generals, including him, to attend an important meeting in the afternoon.

After the brief conversation was over, the microphone was put down, and the little girl was looking at him, her big blue eyes were very calm.

She didn't act coquettishly like ordinary children, and she didn't say sensiblely like last time: "It's okay, it's fine if Mr. Lieutenant General doesn't come."

She sighed softly, and then said with a smile: "If you come back late, Liya will leave a good meal for Mr. Lieutenant General."

Even regret and disappointment are so quiet.

The meeting lasted all afternoon.When he came out of the marshal building, he was in a bad mood.The ghost spider gave him a sideways look and invited him for a drink.

As soon as Dauberman went out, he hurried away with a stinky face. Huoshaoshan also had urgent matters, and the rest of Kuzan and Polusalino followed.

"Well, after working passionately for a whole year, let's relax a little at the end of the year." Kuzan said, leaning on the bar counter.

A charming purple-haired beauty came out to greet him, and she stuck to Kuzan's side with ease, her plump breasts squeezed against the other's upper arm, and said with a smile: "Brother Kuzan really, he hasn't come back to see us for a long time. Alright."

Kuzan pulled out his arm, put his wrist on her bare shoulders because she was wearing a V-shaped dress, and politely avoided: "Well, I'm busy with work, so this is coming. Besides, lady boss, don't you look at me? Who did you come from?" He pouted at Sakaski, who was behind him with a powerful aura.

The big beauty reacted quickly, covered her mouth and smiled: "Ah, Lieutenant General Sakaski is also a rare visitor~ Do you want to prepare a box this time?"

Every store in the izakaya bar street on Christmas is full of guests.But as the proprietress of the biggest tavern on the street, of course she would not let go of this group of high-ranking guests.

The Japanese-style private rooms and the bar dance floor are clearly separated, and the waitresses in sexy dresses and the geisha in kimonos can also coexist harmoniously.Others have already hugged left and right, but Sakarski's side is still empty.

This is a clean and safe place for the navy. Men come to this kind of place to relax. Sakaski has been here a few times, and he will not spoil his colleagues here.

It's just that he is really not in the mood today, and the proprietress has a strong ability to observe words and expressions, so she also reminds the girls under her command not to bother him.

Sakaski restrained his aura and sat in the innermost position to think for himself.

He received a secret mission that required him to go out for a long time, and he went up and down secretly. It was an operation in order to let him avoid the world government's spending on him.

Avoidance, and patience.

The young vice admiral covered the dark red fire in his eyes, took a drink from his glass.Raising his hand again, the porcelain bottle of wine was already empty.

A pair of white and soft little hands filled his wine glass in time.Sakalski looked up, and the strong evil spirit frightened the beautiful woman in kimono.

The proprietress explained with a smiling face behind her: "I heard that you rarely visit, so Fengling will come to say hello to say anything."

Sakarski understood.The few times he's been here, he's been accompanied by the same woman.Because I felt obedient, quiet, clean and convenient, I never changed people.

The woman named Fengling greeted him warmly, her tone could not hide her concern and joy: "Lord Lieutenant General hasn't been here for a long time."

He responded lightly and continued to drink, the woman carefully said in a soft voice: "Master Lieutenant General... Are you in a bad mood?"

There is a faint smile on the snow-white cheeks, and the eyebrows are gentle, pretty and moving.

Although he wasn't in the mood today, Sakaski inexplicably swallowed back the word "back off" impatiently in his throat.

"Anyway, absolutely, you can't do rough things to girls, Lili! And Mr. Lieutenant General is the same," he just sat and read the newspaper, completely affected by innocence.

The little girl was probably in a fit of anger, and she was a little bit angry with him, her bright blue eyes were shining brightly.

"Leah must have the courage to talk to someone as imposing as Mr. Lieutenant General. If you always answer with a perfunctory pronunciation like um, oh, it will make people very sad!"

When angry, the corners of the lips are pressed tightly, and the round dimples will appear, so it looks good even with a serious expression.

"Be more patient and gentle with girls, you two hear me!"

Sakaski put down his wine glass and said in a gentle tone, "There are some troublesome things."

He stood up holding his forehead: "I'm almost done drinking, so I'll take my leave first."

Feng Ling was slightly taken aback, then followed him elegantly, and quietly sent him away.

The proprietress was smoking outside the door, looked at her and sighed: "When you heard from other customers that he seems to have a child, you still refused to believe it, so you can give up now?"

Feng Ling lowered her eyes, curled the corners of her lips very lightly, with a beautiful appearance, and said in a sad tone: "Although I haven't seen it before, she must be a gentle, kind, and lovable child."

It was the first time that this man spoke so many words to her with such a peaceful attitude.

Fortunately, she also bid him farewell as usual.With that kind of considerate, docile, and measured attitude, which satisfied him.

It was already dark, and when we got home, it suddenly started snowing.

The little girl quickly opened the door for him, she was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open, and she had to sit at the dining table and watch him eat.

I look out the window from time to time, and I feel very good.

In the living room, there is a small emerald green pine tree covered with colorful balls, bells and other small ornaments. It is so symmetrical and orderly that it has no aesthetic feeling, and it is far inferior to the potted plants he raises himself.

It's just that she looks so excited: "Although I don't think it's an official holiday, but Lili looks very happy. Sarah, Mr. Lieutenant General should also be happy. Liya has prepared a Christmas gift for you~"

A blooming pink rose was dotted on the red gift box. When the box was opened, a pair of black leather gloves appeared.

He doesn't need to.Even without the fruit ability, his strong physique can easily resist the cold of winter.

Warm clothes such as gloves have no real meaning to him.

After all, this kind of festival has no meaning to him.

"As soon as Liya saw this, she felt that it was very suitable for Mr. Lieutenant General, because she felt that Mr. Lieutenant General would be very handsome wearing it!"

She looked at him expectantly, her eyes sparkling.

Sakalski was silent for a moment.

Anyway, the glove is a good size.

And Leah received her first Christmas gift from Sakalski: a red "Outstanding Young Admiral" medal.

Lili is a blue "First Class Merit" medal.

Leah: ^_^

————The dividing line after 10 years———

The patrols at the end of the year will be more frequent. After the late-night shift, Sakaski watched the patrol ship leave, and stood quietly in the cold wind and waited.

Two hours later, the supply ship returning from the East China Sea briefly stopped at Marin Vanduo Port for 5 minutes to drop off the passengers who were hitchhiking.

Among the dozens of naval officers, soldiers and military relatives who came back from visiting relatives in the East China Sea, the girl with light brown curly hair was carrying a small suitcase. When she saw the tall figure standing in the front, she burst into a smile.

She flew over, and the cold wind lifted her smooth long hair and red skirt, which looked as bright as an oil painting in the cold night.

The man strode forward to meet her, and just caught her in his arms.

Sakaski's body temperature was on the high side, dispelling the chill all over her body. Leah sneezed a little under the sudden change of cold and warm.

Leah backed away a little shyly, and asked apologetically, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Sakaski didn't even blink his eyes, his face was calm: "No, just finished the patrol."

Leah narrowed her eyes suspiciously: "Really? Anyway, General Sakasky is not afraid of the cold, and Leah doesn't know how long he will wait."

Sakarski was noncommittal, and his generous palm pressed against the back of her neck, scalding her.

"Why are you wearing so thin?"

"Well, although the temperature in Marin Fando drops sharply at this time of year, I didn't expect it to be so cold at night. Lili still wears short sleeves in the East China Sea."

Sakalski stretched his arms and pulled her under the coat, and Liya was forcefully wrapped into a broad embrace. The cold wind was isolated from the outside, and her body temperature rose quickly.

"You're like this, Liya can't walk anymore." The girl's eyes were crooked, and she smiled like a little fox.Sakalski looked down at her, grabbed the slender and soft waist and lifted it lightly, and Leah sat on the muscular arms, and her head could rest on the broad shoulders.

It's exactly the same posture as this guy hugged her for the first time more than ten years ago.

Leah was helpless and couldn't help laughing.The sweet laughter stimulated someone's ears at close range, and Sakaski turned his face to look at her with deep eyes.

His arms are firm, and the soldier's steps are powerful and regular.Liya unconsciously followed his rhythm and swayed her legs lightly, her small leather shoes brushed against the red suit one by one.

The man suddenly let out a deep breath, held her ankle with his other hand, and said in a hoarse voice mixed with inexplicable helplessness, "Be honest, don't kick it."

Liya blinked in bewilderment, and was about to say something when suddenly her forehead felt cold.

It was snowflakes that came quietly and fell on Marin Vanduo.

"Hey! Sakalski, it's snowing! (ノ≧≦)ノ゜.゜."

"Hmm." Admiral Akainu remained unmoved, walking fast and steadily.

Li Ya kicked Mr. General in the abdomen again, dissatisfied: "Stop, let me see Xue~"

After such a short period of time, the bench under the street lamp had already been covered with a layer of pure white snow. Liya grabbed Mr. General's shoulder and looked up at the overlapping snowflakes.Sakalski stood there quietly, watching her open her eyes and enjoy the snow seriously.

For some reason, she always seemed to have a soft spot for snow.

She looked at it for a long time, and then sighed a long time: "It's so beautiful."

Then she turned her head and smiled at him: "It's great to be able to watch the snow together."

Leah pressed two fingers together on her lips, and blew a kiss to Mr. General: "Merry Christmas, Mr. Sakasky~(oo)"

Mr. General was silent for a while, then suddenly lowered his head, put his face very close, and breathed hotly on the corner of her lips: "I didn't hear what you just said."

Liya was stunned for ten seconds.

Outdoors, nobody, snowing, Christmas Eve.

Well, the stone is enlightened.

The girl's pale red lips gently kissed the man's cold and hard lip line, and the plain and delicate earlobes were stained pink with embarrassment.

"Merry Christmas."

"Ah."
