Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy

During the New Year, the Zhanye detachment had to return to its headquarters, Malinfando. After all, the Zhanye detachment stayed in the New World all year round last year, even during the New Year period.

Theoretically, the Zhanye detachment will have to take turns during the New Year this year, but under normal circumstances, if the Zhanye detachment applies to continue to be stationed and patrolled, the headquarters is unlikely to refuse.

However, this year, the headquarters rejected the Zhanye detachment's application to be stationed in the New World, and ordered the Zhanye detachment to take a vacation. Considering that the members had not had a long vacation for two consecutive years, Skyler was embarrassed to argue with the headquarters.

Moreover, she could also imagine that the headquarters did not allow her to be stationed in the New World and wanted her to take a vacation in Malinfando. There must be something that was not convenient to notify through phone bugs or public announcements.

Therefore, on January 1520, [-] in the Hainan calendar, the Zhanye detachment ended its New World cruise mission and returned to Marineland. Nurkic was responsible for sorting out the docking and debriefing matters, while Skyler came directly to the headquarters building. .

Whether it's Sengoku or He, their work styles are a bit too coy in Skyler's opinion, although he knows that there is a high probability that they have something to come to him, so they let him come back.

But Skyler felt that if he didn't take the initiative to ask, based on the two people's personalities, he would probably reveal some to himself in the middle to late vacation, and then let himself take the initiative to explore when he was curious.

Instead of wasting time like this and being coaxed like a child, Skyler would rather come directly to the door and ask the whole thing clearly as a so-called "ignorant" person.

After greeting many generals along the way, Skyler also came outside the marshal's office. Although the headquarters has a complete rotation system for branches and detachments stationed abroad.

But for Marinefando, holidays are very rare. After all... they all live in Marinefando and can go home to reunite with their families every day. What holiday do they want?

To put it bluntly, it just...doesn't pay attention to the rest and physical and mental health of civilian employees.

Many generals who are responsible for civilian duties, or generals who can only be responsible for civilian duties now, have protested against this, and some generals have even protested more than once.

That general... is one of the three great generals today, General Kizaru.

But for Kizaru's suggestions, the headquarters usually encourages them to speak and never listen to them. The reason why they are encouraged is because... speaking is probably the most diligent thing that Kizaru does in the headquarters.

If he is not even allowed to speak, or the general really does nothing.

Arriving at the Marshal's Office in the Warring States Period, Skyler knocked on the door. He was here for business. Skyler would still follow some etiquette, but that didn't mean that Skyler didn't follow etiquette when it came to private matters.

But sometimes etiquette is redundant.For strangers, etiquette is the best tool to bring the two parties closer, but for people who are already familiar or good friends, etiquette will only make people feel alienated.

The degree in between needs to be mastered slowly, and the degree of treating everyone will be different. Some people are born not to like red tape, and some people are particular about this. Therefore, you have to adopt different attitudes towards different people.

Of course Skyler understands this kind of thing, otherwise her life will be in vain for decades, but sometimes she doesn't want to follow such rules. After all, sometimes following rules is very tiring and uncomfortable.

But Skyler was obviously in a good mood today. After hearing the knock on the door, Warring States nodded and said, "Lieutenant General Skyler, please come in."

The door to the Marshal's office is rarely closed, so Sengoku can directly see Skyler standing at the door knocking on the door. As for why he still knocks on the door when it is open...this is also "degree".

The last time the two met was last year... it should be said that it was the graduation ceremony in October of the year before last. After all, today is the first day of the new year.

"Marshal of the Warring States."

Skyler saluted and said, Sengoku nodded. If he followed the most standard etiquette, he also needed to salute, but he did not do so.

Because it is a common convention that bosses do not need to salute subordinates. Of course, not everyone will follow the conventional "rules", but will choose to abide by the rules written in black and white.

For example, Akainu, in most cases, even if only a third-class soldier salutes him, he will choose to return the salute whenever he has time. However, if he is on a mission, he will not return the salute, even if it is a fellow general who salutes him. salute.

Because this is also stipulated in the article.

Seeing that Skyler came to see him as soon as he returned to the headquarters, Warring States instantly understood what Skyler meant. He motioned Skyler to sit down, thought for a while, and said:

"That kid Luffy has disappeared for more than a year. Do you know about this?"

Hearing this, Skyler raised her eyebrows. After Luffy left the headquarters, she really didn't deliberately inquire about Luffy's news, and it was impossible for the headquarters to report to Skyler regularly just because of a new recruit who left the headquarters.

Therefore, Skyler was a little surprised to hear that Luffy had disappeared for more than a year. Of course, her mood swings were not big, after all, it had only been more than a year.

Sengoku saw that Skyler was not too excited, and he was secretly relieved. Sure enough...Skyler looked like Garp, and Garp was not excited after learning that Luffy was "missing".

He just left a sentence: "As expected of my grandson, even the navy can't find it, hahaha~" It can be said that the brain circuits of the Monchi family are special. For them, a minor child missing is like a common occurrence. Little things are the same.

The reason why Warring States came to Skyler was not to talk about this matter. It was just that the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time. If he issued a task as soon as they met, it would seem that his boss was too mean.

After all, Skyler returned to the headquarters in the name of vacation. Even if she came back because of some official matters that were not convenient to disclose, she still had to do a good job on the surface.

Seeing Skyler's lack of reaction, Warring States also said casually: "After he left the headquarters and went to the Chambord Islands, the navy never found him again."

After hearing the name of Shampoo Islands, Skyler narrowed his eyes behind his sunglasses, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded and said, "Luffy running away, that's not why you're looking for me, right?"

"Run away..."

Sengoku wanted to complain about Skyler's choice of words, but in the end he just twitched the corner of his mouth a few times and then relaxed. After all, it was already very tasteless to argue about these details with a contemporary like Garp.

If he and Skyler were to argue over these details... Sengoku felt that it would be nothing more than a loss at the end of the festival.

After stroking his beard, Sengoku said, "That's true. The purpose of bringing you back is to talk to you about Blackbeard Teach and the Whitebeard Pirates."

Hearing this, Skyler raised his eyebrows curiously. Seeing this, Warring States also continued: "Not long ago, we discovered Teach's figure. He has returned to the first half of the Great Channel."

Skyler frowned. Sure enough, Teach is not that easy to catch. Even though she has been cruising intensively for more than a year, the monthly rest prescribed by the Warring States Period has provided too many opportunities for others. .

"where is he?"

Skyler asked, and Sengoku thought for a while before saying: "I can tell you where Teach is, but... this matter is of great importance, and I hope you will not interfere too much."

"If you want to make a fuss about Tiqi... It's not easy for me. I propose to arrest Blackbeard Tiqi directly. As for the New World... Zhanye detachment is ready for the next expedition. "

Hearing Skyler's words, Sengoku shook his head and said, "You are always so impatient. Do you think I just want to attack the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Although he said this, Sengoku was very satisfied with Skyler's performance. On the one hand, it was because of her fearless attitude. Her attitude was what the navy needed, and it was also the reason why Sengoku agreed to Skyler's stationing in the New World.

What the headquarters wants is the sharp swords of Skyler and the Zhanye detachment, which are ready to penetrate into the depths of the New World Pirates at any time. After so many years, Skyler still remains sharp, which is very satisfying.

On the other hand, Sengoku saw it. Skyler might have guessed what he wanted to do. Hedu might not be able to see through his Sengoku's purpose quickly. Skyler's performance was... even better.

The Skyler in front of me is a person whose character, strength, and vision are no less than those of Garp and Dorag...another talent of the Monchi family. Although she also reproduces all the shortcomings of the Monchi family, she ...much better than that old guy Cap.

After hearing the words of Warring States Cloud, Skyler said impatiently: "You just want to imitate Marshal Kong and have a grand ceremony for your retirement.

Start a war, completely defeat Whitebeard, his long-time rival, and then retire with glory as a winner, am I right?Marshal of the Warring States Period? "

For a moment, Sengoku, who was full of expectations and affection for Skyler, his face suddenly fell. Only then did he remember that Skyler had inherited more than just Garp's traits.

The advantages and disadvantages of cranes, the general in front of me who has entered the Mesozoic Era, has also learned [-]%, and he has the attributes of the Mengqi family who are not stingy, and he does not leave any face to others when he speaks.

But Sengoku didn't refute, because Skyler was right, he just wanted to retire in glory, and before retiring, sending away his old rival Whitebeard, this was what he expected.

Seeing that Seng Guo acknowledged his speech with a gesture of tacit approval, Skyler shook his head, stood up, and said: "Marshal Seng Guo, think about it carefully, is what Marshal Kong did really right?

The execution of Roger ushered in the era of great pirates, and now we are still cleaning up this mess every year, you..."

"enough!"

Skyler's aggressiveness angered Sengoku. He looked at Skyler and said, "I am the marshal!"

"You will regret it! Warring States!"

For some reason, Skyler instinctively followed this sentence. For a moment, both of them fell into silence. Finally, Skyler added: "Marshal."

Yes, Skyler felt that it was wrong to call Sengoku by his first name. After all, Sengoku was her boss and her senior. She had to at least call him "Marshal Sengoku".

After completing the etiquette, Skyler left the marshal's office directly. She had nothing more to say to Seng Guo. Seng Guo acted like an old stubborn, and... as he said, he was the marshal.

When Sengoku saw Skyler leaving, he could only sulk. He was very angry at Skyler's attitude just now. That attitude... was similar to Akainu, but even worse.

For such a person who is more reckless than Akainu to be the leader of the Mesozoic generation of the Dove Faction is really... extremely funny!

Moreover, he failed to win Skyler's support, which made Sengoku very uncomfortable. After all, in his opinion, Skyler should be a more active person than anyone else in the elimination of pirates, and should support him. right.

But in fact...Skyler did show her enthusiasm to eliminate the pirates. Her justice and firmness were beyond doubt, but...Sengoku didn't expect that Skyler would act like this because he saw through his mind. of opposition to this matter.

Sengoku does not deny that he has selfish motives, and... he also does not deny that Skyler is right. When Roger was executed, the era of great pirates that started has continued to trouble the navy until now, 22 years later.

But...Does Whitebeard have the ability to start another era that is as influential as the Great Pirates era?Sengoku disagreed. Whitebeard was very strong, but his influence was not comparable to that of Roger, who had the title of Pirate King.

Moreover, the current navy is not comparable to the navy of the past. The navy of the past... to put it bluntly, it was criticized in many ways and poor. If you want to make any big achievements, you can only rely on the personal strength of the generals.

But things are different now. Not only is the Navy richer, but it also has more people than before. Compared with more than [-] years ago, the Navy still retains the combat power of veterans like him and Garp.

There are three generals, Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji, as well as Skyler, a leading Mesozoic general who is not inferior to the generals, and new generation generals such as Law and Ace.

As well as various warships and weapons with excellent performance, as well as... new weapons from the scientific combat force that Kizaru is in charge of, Sengoku's self-confidence is now as high as ever.

Let alone the Whitebeard Pirates, even if there is another Emperor, Sengoku feels that the navy is capable of dealing with it and winning.

And Warring States really wanted to step down from the front line. After all, being a marshal was not as wonderful as he thought at the time. He felt that after becoming a marshal, he could completely reverse the decline of the navy.

Then, he dispatched the renewed navy to conquer the second half of the great waterway that the navy had never touched, but the fact was... he could not completely reverse it.

He can only continue to add bricks and tiles to the temple of the Navy, making the Navy "better" bit by bit, but more than ten years have passed, and the Navy still has not been able to truly enter the new world.

Even though many generals in the navy were ready to conquer the new world, various factual conditions still did not allow the Warring States Period to do that.

Therefore, using his last time and experience to deal with a big mountain for the younger generations of the Navy is the ultimate that Warring States feels he can do now.

Although there is his selfishness in this, but... wouldn't that result be bad?

It would be fine if there was a crane who kept using hints to object to this matter, but Skyler objected to his plan directly in front of him, and said both inside and outside that he was doing it for himself...

Sitting in his seat, Zhenguo took off his glasses and kept rubbing his eyelids. He was tired, too tired.

After Skyler left the marshal's office, he went to He's staff office and took a look around. The two quickly understood each other's intentions. Neither of them quite agreed with Sengoku starting a war against the Whitebeard Pirates.

It's just that... both parties also know the reason why the other party disagrees. The embarrassing thing is that they are not the same.

The reason why He disagrees is that he feels that Sengoku's idea does not take into account the interests of the entire Navy. After all, declaring war on the Whitebeard Pirates represents more than just the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates.

It also represents the navy's attitude towards pirates. As long as the navy calls for war with the Whitebeard Pirates, then the four emperors, who have never been united in the past, will also consider joining forces at this time.

After all... no pirate group can withstand the bombings of the Navy and the World Government, not even the pirate groups led by emperors like them.

It's not that they weren't worried because they didn't unite before, but doing so was not a good thing for the Navy and the World Government. The cost may be greater than the benefits.

But once the navy and the world government are determined, then... the alliance of the emperor will probably be rare.

And even if we don't talk that far, let's talk about the immediate situation. The Navy may be able to win against the Whitebeard Pirates, but the effort will definitely not be much higher than the gain. This is completely opposite to Crane's philosophy.

As for Skyler, the reason why she opposed Sengoku's idea was that she believed that the Navy did not need to use this method to win.

As long as he, Sengoku, is willing to show shame and break the agreement he made back then, Skyler will not mind leading troops into the waters of the Whitebeard Pirates at all. Even if he is fighting in Whitebeard's territory, Skyler is equally confident.

She is the person in the navy who best understands Whitebeard's personal situation, and this can be regarded as her only remaining foresight.

During the war in the original novel, when Whitebeard was struck by the sword of dutiful son, Marco described Whitebeard's weakness, and the combat power he showed was hard to call convincing. The strongest man in the world.

Even... Akainu even said, "Even you can't escape the fate of old age." It can be said that when everyone was looking forward to the strongest man in the world showing his power again, Akainu succeeded. of prestige.

When Ace was about to be executed, Whitebeard was so old that he couldn't even release the Haki of Overlord Color to stun the executioner. If Luffy hadn't stunned the whole audience with the last Overlord Color...

It can be said that the current Whitebeard's overall strength has actually fallen out of the strongest echelon. However, his past, his reputation, and his occasional outbursts make it difficult for people to believe that he is getting old.

If it was just a one-hit battle, Whitebeard would still be the strongest person in the world, but...if it was a battle or even a war, he would no longer be able to fight.

Skyler wasn't kidding, she was really ready for another expedition, but it was just to face Whitebeard, she had been looking forward to it for a long, long time.

But Sengoku refused, perhaps not just because of his selfishness, but Skyler was still disappointed.

After talking to Crane, Skyler also left the headquarters building.

On the morning of the second day of the New Year, a report was delivered to Sengoku's desk. The moment he saw the report, Sengoku stood up and went directly to He's office, ignoring the confusion of the navy who delivered the letter.

Pushing the door open directly, Warring States took the report and said to He: "Xiao He, Skyler went to the Chambord Islands today. Could it be..."

"Do you think she will find time to go to the Drum Kingdom and kill Blackbeard Teach?"

He Xiao asked, Sengoku nodded, but He shook his head and said: "If she really wants to kill Teach, even if she directly leads a warship to the Drum Kingdom to kill Blackbeard today, can you stop her?

Do you think that with her character, she would go to the Drum Kingdom alone just to avoid your spies? "

He's words were full of dissatisfaction and sarcasm. Sengoku could hear it, but if he thought about it carefully... it was really like that. If Skyler wanted to disobey orders and kill Teach, how fast could he just lead the detachment?

After all, if we really wanted to calculate it, every one of those people in the Zhanye detachment was worthy enough to be court-martialed. They were fooling around and disobeying orders. The Zhanye detachment didn't mind doing this for the sake of their commander, and Skyler had the ability to protect them.

Therefore, there is no theory that Skyler set out to capture Blackbeard Teach alone in order not to drag down her detachment. Perhaps it was just simple...she wanted to go to the Shampoo Islands.

"What's she going to do in the Shampoo Islands?"

Sengoku frowned and said in confusion. Crane looked at him and asked, "Did you tell her about Luffy?"

Hearing this, Warring States scratched his face, turned around and left without saying a word. After all... it was so embarrassing!

Even if he can't control his subordinates, he actually shows distrust of his subordinates. If this spreads...

In fact, Skyler did what He said, she had no intention of looking for Blackbeard Teach, her destination was the Shampoo Islands.

She wasn't even interested in taking action along the way. Even though the pirates in the Shampoo Islands kept running away, she just slowly arrived at the No. 13 island.

"Xia Qi's rip-off bar..."

Skyler looked at the sign that had become a little older, and then walked in. At this time in the morning, there were not many people drinking.

Xia Qi was cleaning the bar. When she saw Skyler arriving, she just nodded without panicking and didn't even mean to entertain.

After all, she runs a bar, and Skyler, a non-drinker, is not her client.

In the bar, there was only one person drinking at this time, and that was the silver-haired Rayleigh. Rayleigh was sitting at the bar, with two bottles of 25-year-old whiskey in front of him, and two glasses, one for wine and one for water. .

Skyler walked over to Reilly and sat down. The drunken Reilly ignored Skyler who sat down. Skyler was silent for a while and said:

"Have you got enough money to buy a drink?"

"?!!!"

"Winter~"

Reilly fell off the stool.
