[One Piece] Almighty staff

Compared with Seken Island, Faus Island is as desolate as a desert island.Large areas of red and black rocks are exposed, and there is almost no vegetation.

I don't know if ordinary people were emptied by the navy. Apart from the naval base, Leah didn't see any other residential buildings on the island.A long wall encloses a very large area of ​​land behind the naval base.

She now knew that there were a huge amount of original moving stones inside.

It is said that it is a dangerous mineral whose power is comparable to that of ancient weapons. When it encounters oxygen, it will cause a big explosion enough to destroy an island.Liya found a chance to take a look. These unremarkable ore-like dangerous goods were packed in special cylindrical containers and distributed in a high density within the enclosure.

The outside is heavily guarded, and more than 60 heavy guns are mounted on the coastline. Any ship that enters the range of the navy without prior declaration and approval will be sunk immediately, and the guards do not even need to report to their superiors first.

It was a strong, hawkish approach, but Leah thought it made sense.Even if a spark falls into the enclosure, such a large number of prime movers is very likely to trigger a series of bombings by Mishima.It is related to the safety of the entire sea area, and no amount of caution can be overstated.

"Teacher Zefa has pushed a lot of important tasks, including here." Chizu chewed on a cigarette and walked in front of her, his voice was a little vague.

Leah smiled: "Mr. General is more suitable for this task."

Mr. Zefa is in charge, the tightness of the defense is no problem, but he will probably send warships outside the island to intercept and warn any approaching ships.

Akainu would not show such mercy.One of the ships that deliberately approached was counted as one, and they all came here after hearing some rumors, and most of them had malicious intentions. Only ruthless methods can play the fastest deterrent effect.

He said lightly: "You will find a backer for yourself."

That wasn't quite true, but Leah didn't explain it.

In addition to teaching at the Naval Academy, Mr. Zefa has almost withdrawn from the Navy's core mission participation and power politics center, and is in a semi-retired state.

All the extra time he had was dragged by Leah and used to participate in and preside over the construction of Bahrain Island.She didn't hide her deliberate action in front of Zefa, and even sending Lili to him was an open and honest way to keep him.Finally, General Zefa softened his heart and was willing to accept her favor.

Teacher Zefa's 60th birthday is not far away.In the age of the Great Pirate, capable people did not reach the age to retire. They always worked until they couldn't do it, or only retired when they really didn't want to do it.For a strong person like Teacher Zefa, if he wants to, it's not a problem at all to work until seventy or eighty.

So Akazu's words are not unreasonable. With Zefa's combat experience and the Naval Academy's operation for so many years, the students he taught have been stationed in the Navy's upper and lower four sea bases.Even if she really retires and stops working completely, it is indeed more than enough to protect her and Lili, and she cannot be a more reliable backer.

The premise is that he can really make up his mind to retire.

Teacher Zefa, Leah thinks that he is a little bit out of the style of a low-interest international humanitarian revolutionary fighter. He has an equal and inclusive mind for all people and all races, and he doesn't want to see anyone suffer...so it's a bit ugly , somewhat a bit of the Heart of Mary.

Pirates were rampant in the age of great voyages, and he would not stand by and watch the common people suffer.And I don't know if it's because he's getting older, Zefa's temper has become more and more peaceful in the past two years, and he has gradually drifted away from the hard-line image that was full of sharpness in the early years.

But Leah knew it was just an appearance.The admiral who has been in the waves for most of his life, the arrogance and boldness in his bones can easily be wiped out.She didn't expect to be able to persuade Zefa to enjoy his old age like this, but with Zefa's current status and ability, far away from the vortex of struggle between the navy and the world government, there is basically no big risk that can affect him.

The current situation is already a good result beyond her expectations.

Akainu waved away the non-commissioned officers and generals surrounding him, and took her to his office in the Faus Island base.Liya hesitated for a second before turning around and gently closing the door.

The naval base on Faus Island is built on the edge of the cliff facing the sea, and it is built in accordance with the terrain, which can give a good balance of concealment and vision.

There is a long and slender balcony in Akainu's office, which can have a panoramic view of the sea behind the watchtower in the distance.

Liya stood two steps away from Akainu's left, looking at the cloudy sky from the balcony, the sea was choppy and the sea looked dark.

"Have you run out of money?"

Leah didn't expect Akainu to ask her such a question. She answered frankly: "Yes, after all, it is an island, and a large amount of capital investment in the early stage is unavoidable."

Of course, the output of the factory is gradually increasing, which eases the pressure on expenditures, and the funds are slowly returning.There is no need to explain this too clearly to Akainu.

Sakaski lit the cigarette he had been biting, and the wind blew the smoke out of the balcony. The smell was not particularly strong.

Leah showed no disapproval.In fact, Sakalski rarely smokes, and only smokes one or two to refresh himself when the work intensity is particularly high.Yesterday he smelled a very faint smell of tobacco, and Liya guessed that he smoked a lot these two days, probably because he was very busy.

Puffing out a circle of smoke, Sakarski held the cigarette between his right fingers and leaned against the balcony railing: "Why didn't you tell me when it was used up?"

Leah turned to look at him.

He still had a cold and stern expression, dark eyes, tight mouth corners, and eyes looking far away, but Lia could hear a trace of fatigue in his hoarse voice.

"It's the same for injuries, and it's also for illnesses. Being robbed by pirates, being tricked by nobles...what?" He retracted his eyes from afar, and focused on her: "I didn't mention a word to me."

She built a factory in Bahrain Island, producing dried fruits with extremely low cost and various handicrafts with little market competitiveness.The workers are picked up from the slaves that the Tianlong people don't want...

But the real profitable industry is that she relies on some secret and well-informed information channels within the Navy and the Revolutionary Army to do all kinds of buying and selling.

Of course, it can be regarded as clean money earned, but it is not decent to involve some aristocrats or big figures in the down and out scandals, and she herself also intentionally concealed this chain of funds, so she can't say it on the table.

The half-abandoned mine island that was half-extorted from a certain nobleman and was about to be emptied was a place similar to a transfer station set up for safety and efficiency after the "business" expanded.

During this period, even with Sisser constantly taking care of her, Teacher Zefa tried her best to help, and more often she relied on Leah to break through on her own. Dorag is undoubtedly still not a strong and reliable partner at present.Most of the time, Leah was on her own.

She suffered a lot.

As for the injuries and illnesses that Sakalski mentioned, he only knew of the few occasions when she was hospitalized after she couldn't delay.In the early days, she actually worked crazily for a period of time, taking care of both Marin Fanduo and Bahrain Island, and the workload was not inferior to that of a general like him.When I'm busy, I don't even have time to sleep.

Maritime trade is robbed by pirates is a common occurrence. Although it caused a lot of trouble, but luckily, I have never encountered a big pirate of Don Quixote's level, so it can almost be said that Leah is the easiest to solve. kind of accident.

As for being tricked and deceived by the big nobles and wanting to make money from them, this is inevitable.As long as no actual loss is caused, no matter how complicated and difficult the interpersonal relationship is, she can hold her nose and endure the filth and handle it properly.

Starting a business from scratch is difficult everywhere, and there are no exceptions in ancient and modern China and abroad. What's more, she has a foundation of funds and strong relatives and friends behind her, so she is not really self-made.

Looking back on her not-so-long journey to start a business at sea, step by step can be called full of blood and sweat, Liya couldn't help but sigh: "It's really difficult."

"However, Leah managed to solve it by herself in the end." She smiled and said, "I don't have a chance to complain to Mr. General."

She knew that there was something else attached to Sakalski's words.

Just subconsciously took a step back.

Such a red dog.Such a strong, stubborn, extreme pursuit of his own ideas, everything must be compromised for his justice, such a red dog who was shaken in his heart and even thought of taking her life, will lead the navy to grow and develop, so as to eliminate all pirates as a lifelong career Akainu.

She didn't have the confidence to change him, nor did she have the determination to stay by his side.

So no matter what he thinks now, she is unwilling to get any closer.

There was an explosion on the other side of the sea level, and the sound of the huge explosion was heard only after tens of seconds.

That is the direction of Seken Island.

Leah's pupils shrank slightly, and she grabbed the railing.

There are residents and tourists on the island, and there are many nobles with extraordinary identities who participated in the island's industry discussions, as well as Zhu Luojier who came to join in the fun.Once something happens, it will never end well.

However, Akainu looked at the other end with a very flat expression, as if he had expected this scene to happen.

Leah's voice tightened: "Sakaski...what is this?"

He turned his head to look at her, and said succinctly: "It's not on the island, it's an encirclement and suppression battle near the sea."

Zefa pushed the matter of the magma room, and after discussions with the Sengoku and government army commanders, it was handed over to the general Akainu.Different from Zefa's calm and generous style of acting, Akainu used the rumors to set up a game, and used the plan to kill the provocateur as an example.

Lia breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid of a "big purge" after Akainu took over Mishima.

Whether it is pirates or all forces, he has no intention of letting go.Let these early birds take the lead and suppress the arrogance of the restless guys.

It is really a risky move to engage in heavy fire near the magma chamber.Liya wanted to boast about being bold and careful.

Although rumors are flying all over the sky, few people really believe it. Most of the uninvited guests come to try their luck in troubled waters, to see if they can take advantage of the chaos. It would be great if there is really something that can hold the navy ;Some of them came here after disguised for political purposes——

In order to attack the reputation of the navy, some aristocratic forces in the world government can really do anything.

This battle is very risky, but after this battle, the three islands in the magma room will be stable for at least ten years.

Leah's eyes reflected the distant firelight.

After this trip, Akainu solved three difficult things in one day, and her efficiency was so high that she was far behind.

"...There are really pirates who dare to come to Faus Island to provoke you."

Liya looked in surprise at the few pirate ships that were going around a large group of reefs that were easy to hide, and almost drove under her nose, and was worried about the average IQ of contemporary pirates in the New World.

The nearest heavy cannons quickly fired into the inner bay. The sound of the cannons was too close, and Liya was caught off guard. Her head buzzed from the shock, and she suddenly became dizzy.She covered her ears and leaned against the railing.

Standing two steps away, Akainu caught a glimpse of her thin and white nape.A small piece of bone protruded conspicuously, trembling subtly.

He lowered his eyes for a while, took a step, and stretched out his hand to cover the piece of snow.

The dense gunfire stopped abruptly, and Liya only felt that the back of her neck was hot and numb.

The loose robe covered her body, and the man held the nape of her neck in his arms.Leah pressed her cheek against her warm chest, and saw more pirate ships coming out from all directions through the gap in her coat, but the soldiers did not fire, and dragged their heavy artillery to retreat with difficulty.

Sakaski hugged her and raised his hand, Leah felt her chest vibrate slightly in his concise voice, resonating with the steady heartbeat.

It took about ten seconds before she realized what he had said.

"Meteor Volcano."

Countless magma stones fell from the sky.

Behind is the moving stone of half of the island. Liya was so stimulated that she couldn't speak, her eyes were wide open, and she tightly grabbed Akainu's chest.

The hot air hit her top, making her sweat.The first piece of magma was thrown into the sea, far away from Faus Island, and the heat wave it caused pushed out a very long distance, just overturning the two furthest pirate ships, and the pirates were scalded while swimming and fleeing. Call.They were picked up one by one by the well-prepared navy.

Every piece of magma fell irregularly, but none of them fell within the dangerous range.The most recent one didn't wait for him to fall, and Liya was tightly guarded behind him.But this did not prevent her from understanding what happened. The sea water splashed to her feet made a screeching sound when it was hot and cold, and the roars of the pirates were also particularly terrified.

When everything was over, there were not only the wreckage of the pirate ship floating on the surface of the sea, but also various sea creatures such as fish and shellfish rolled up and down with the still boiling waves, and the turned skin and flesh of a large fish with the length of a human arm was already cooked. Transparent snow-white, the shell of the sea turtle has a gelatinous feel around the edges.

The reef group has disappeared, and two bottomless potholes are left on the vertical wall of the island.Sakaski sideways blocked most of her vision, and she couldn't see the situation on the sea completely, but that corner was enough for her to guess what the situation was.

The temperature rose sharply, and Lia's clothes and hair were drenched with sweat early on. She smelled the strange fragrance from the sea, and even though she didn't see any dead bodies, her stomach couldn't help but churn.

She pressed her chest, her complexion turned pale, and she turned her head away from looking.Leah pushed Akainu hard, turned around and withdrew from his arms, and walked back into the room.

The strength of her anger is almost equal to nothing for Akainu, not to mention that her hands are shaking and limp because of the fright.

"Going out for so long, why do you only have this little courage?"

The voice of the red dog followed in like a spirit behind, Liya was still shocked, and stared at him angrily and fearfully, and when he saw him teasing her, she still kept her expression unchanged, so she pushed him hard again with hatred. Put: "What are you crazy about!"

Dark dog, big fire-breathing, dog gnawing red lotus, he has a lot of small-range close-range moves that can't be named, but he wants to use large-scale group attack skills, and he is not afraid of being accidentally bombed.

She was terribly angry, but he showed a little smile: "I know."

Akainu rubbed her head: "Don't be so afraid."

------

In the dead of night, Sakaski counted the gradual breathing of the person on his body, and slowly opened his eyes.

He let go of drinking today, he can't help being half drunk even if he holds a good amount of alcohol.But with Admiral Akainu's vigilance and endurance, it's a piece of cake to beat down a Liya who naively has a little trust in him in her heart.

Being bound by his hands and trapped in his arms, the little girl did not sleep comfortably on top of him.Grabbing the clothes on his shoulders with both hands, her soft cheeks were pressed against his chest.He lowered his eyes and could see her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Sakalski let go of her waist with one hand, put her on the back of her head, bent her knees against her calves, turned over quickly, and lightly placed her on the bed.

The bed in the big hotel was very soft, and she fell into the imprint of him sleeping out, and subconsciously curled up sideways, looking more and more petite.

Sakalski reached out to smooth the crease between her brows.

A few rays of moonlight came in from the window, he leaned over, and left a kiss between her eyebrows presumptuously and carefully.

"Just this time."

From now on, all under the hottest sunshine.
