Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy

Skyler looked at Smoker who suddenly ran up to her warship and was a little confused. One thing she could rule out was that Smoker definitely didn't come here to have a cigarette.

Smoker is not that courageous yet. If he was really that courageous, he would have lost the chance to become a navy man.

But after experiencing this series of small things, Smoker became even more... mute. Skyler looked at him and asked: "You came to me?"

Hearing this, Smoker nodded. He was indeed here to find Skyler. Smoker admitted this openly. Skyler continued to ask: "What's the matter?"

"me..."

Smoker became nervous again, and Skyler frowned slightly, but did not guide him. After all, that was not what she would do. Unless she was guiding someone to jump into a pit, she was really not that... .intellectual.

Skyler was not in a hurry, so she could wait for Smoker's answer. Smoker struggled with his own thoughts for a while before he said:

"Lieutenant General Schuyler, you said before that if...if I wanted to become a general, you would write me a letter of recommendation."

"I thought this was something big. But based on your performance today and your past achievements, you can be promoted to general even without my letter of recommendation, right?"

Skyler asked a little strangely. After all, Smoker's performance in the East China Sea over the years was obvious to all, and today's war also proved that he was strong enough to serve as a general.

Therefore, Skyler's letter of recommendation can at most make him better, and the process will go faster. It will not affect He or Sengoku's judgment, so it is a bit... loss to cash in her favor at this time.

Smoker nodded. In fact, after the war ended today, He came to see him and even asked him to attend the post-war general meeting as an exception. This showed that the headquarters had planned to promote him to general.

However, he came to fulfill this promise... Smoker looked at Skyler, took a deep breath, and said: "Actually... Lieutenant General Skyler, I am here to ask you to give a letter of recommendation to Tina. .”

Tina is not qualified to participate in the post-war general meeting, which means that she is not the one who can be recommended. This is actually normal, after all, Tina has not had any particularly outstanding performance.

But as Tina's good friend, Smoker knew how much effort and preparation Tina had made in order to become a general. Tina definitely had the ability to be a general, but Tina, who had always been on the second line, didn't get much attention.

And Tina had helped him Smoker too much, and he wanted to do all he could to help his friend, even if he had to come to Skyler to change the candidate for the recommendation letter.

This was a very excessive thing. After all, Skyler's offer to write him a letter of recommendation for Smoker was regarded as a "favor" rather than an exchange.

In other words, Smoker is now that ignorant child who is picky when accepting gifts. If he is not careful, Skyler will be offended, and even Tina will be disgusted.

But he really didn't want Tina to wait any longer, especially since Tina was the one who kept pulling him back to normal in his naval career. Without Tina, Smoker felt that he would have sunk long ago.

In Smoker's mind, Tina was more qualified to become a general than him, at least... she shouldn't have become a general later than him.

Skyler also looked at Smoker at this time. She understood why Smoker was so nervous. After thinking for a while, Skyler nodded and said, "Okay."

After saying this, Skyler nodded and was about to turn around and leave, but Smoker was stunned. He never thought that Skyler would agree so easily.

He had prepared a lot of words to persuade Skyler. He was even ready to detail everything Tina had contributed to the Navy in front of Skyler, but Skyler actually agreed now?

Smoker may not know that Skyler's letter of recommendation is not particularly precious in her own mind, or...she doesn't mind recommending a naval officer who is qualified to become a general.

Because being a general only represents a clear recognition, not becoming a general does not mean that you are weak or that your contribution to the navy is insufficient.

If promotion to general is the only way for every navy, then the captains of each squadron of the Zhanye detachment must become generals, but sometimes, the navy needs them not to become generals.

Skyler understands this truth, and everyone in the Zhanye detachment also understands this truth, but it is difficult for Smoker to understand.

Of course, Skyler doesn't think that every navy needs to sacrifice their personal future to the members of the Zhanye detachment. She even kicked out young people like Luo and Ace who were willing to stay in the Zhanye detachment. .

Because they became generals, these people played a role far beyond that of staying in the Zhanye detachment. At this time, it became the navy that needed them to become generals.

As for Tina...she has come through it step by step. She does not have a "sacrifice" system that suits her, and she aims to be a general, so there is no problem for such a navy to become a general.

In addition, recommending a naval officer to be a general is not a difficult task for Skyler, although it is nominally a letter of recommendation written by her.

But when the time comes, just let Nurkic do it for you. Skyler’s seal as the commander is in Nurkic’s hands. Even if Skyler writes it himself, he has to go to Nurkic to get it stamped. How troublesome.

It's better to just leave it to Nurkic. Nurkic's written expression ability is much better than hers.

Smoker watched Skyler leave blankly, forgetting what to say. After a while, he seemed to realize something, a happy smile appeared on his face, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Skyler was half lying on a beach chair on the deck. She did not choose to go home to rest. In order to fight the war, the entire living area and town were emptied.

If she went home to sleep, she would wake up hungry and find nothing to eat. Instead of having to wake up hungry and find something to eat, it would be better to just rest on the warship.

Anyway, more than half of her 20 years have been spent on warships, and she has already adapted to this kind of life. If she is allowed to sleep on land, she will feel that the ground is shaking seriously.

This is a common problem for many people who live on boats all year round. Others feel that the surroundings are shaking when they get on the boat, while the land is stable.

People living on boats are just the opposite. Their bodies have adapted to this kind of shaking, and their bodies are unconsciously making feedback to offset the shaking.

Once back on the ground, the body will not be able to adjust for a while, and will continue to sway on its own. This situation where I am immobile will make people feel shaking.

Of course, it only takes a few days for this symptom to subside, or if you encounter something that attracts your attention enough, you will ignore this small detail, such as fighting.

Skyler lay on the beach chair, squinting and waiting for his hair to dry. In fact, it is best to use a hair dryer, because hair dried by the sea breeze will have a sticky feeling.

But Skyler was too tired today, or in other words, there was too much information and emotions to digest.

In addition, the ice around Malinfando was melting at this time. With the sunset and evening breeze, it was difficult for people to have the motivation to move. Lying down was the most comfortable thing.

Gradually, Skyler fell into a dream. This was a rare thing. Skyler himself had forgotten how long he had been able to dream while sleeping.

Skyler tried hard to remember everything about this extremely rare dream, but the fact was that she couldn't remember anything. Even when she woke up, she could only clearly remember that she had dreamed.

But she had no idea what she had dreamed about and couldn't recall it at all.

Skyler sat up straight and kept trying to recall what he had dreamed. But the harder he tried, the farther away the dream became. Even Skyler doubted whether he had dreamed at all.

After stopping this useless effort, Skyler looked around. It was obviously late at night, but it was not dark. The direction of Malinfando was very bright. There seemed to be only one room without lights in the entire headquarters building.

The surrounding warships were also very bright, and some detachments were even having dinner together. Zhanye detachment was very calm. On the one hand, they had already had dinner, and on the other hand... everyone wanted to rest.

The navy won this war easily, but that didn't mean that everyone involved in the war had an easy time. Even Skyler would feel tired, let alone everyone else.

It was quiet on the deck, which made Skyler very uncomfortable. She stood up and looked around, and only saw a figure still on the deck. Skyler walked over and asked: "Brooke, aren't you going to sleep?" ?”

Brooke was holding a mug with "Good Night" written on the outside. In the mug was still his favorite drink - milk.

Brooke took a sip of milk and then said: "Sleep allows the muscles, internal organs and brain to rest, but these things are no longer available."

Skyler smiled when he saw that Brooke was still telling these skeleton jokes tirelessly. Brooke was a very special person. Wherever he was, it was difficult for people to have negative emotions.

This is not brought about by his fruit ability, but by his innate talent. He is born to spread happiness, but even such a person will experience a lot of suffering and loneliness.

This kind of unfair fate exists, and it can even be said to be universal. The hemp rope is cut at the thinnest part, and bad luck only finds the poor. It is not just a joke.

Brooke slowly turned her head and faced Skyler. After a while, she said, "Sir, madam, don't you know what you should do next?"

Skyler nodded. To be honest, she was a little confused. In the past nearly 20 years, she had been working hard for a goal, but today, the goal was executed by her.

When a person has a goal, every day is full of motivation. This goal can be big or small, as big as the stars and the sea, or as small as maybe just going downstairs to have breakfast early.

But once there is no goal, people will fall into a state of "doubt". Maybe they know that they still have a lot of things to accomplish, but they just can't get interested.

This is what Skyler is like now. In addition to killing Whitebeard, she still has many things to do. As a navy, she should enforce justice. As a naval general, she has the entire Whitebeard Pirates' sea area waiting for her to eliminate.

Even more "rebellious", as a comrade of Dorag, she has greater interests waiting for her to participate and contribute, but she just can't be interested.

And she will have doubts about these things. She has been executing justice for 20 years, but every year, the number of pirates she sees will not decrease.

To expand territory for the navy?The four seas and the first half of the great waterway are also within the jurisdiction of the navy, but those people in the waters under the jurisdiction of the navy will not necessarily be happy. It can even prevent some people from going to sea to become pirates.

As for Dolag's ideals, the twenty kings who created the world government also resisted for the sake of the sea, but in the end, the world still became like this.

He unconsciously doubted everything he should do, which made Skyler feel more tired than ever before, and he was tired for no reason.

If this happened to anyone else, Skyler would have the perfect word to describe it, and that would be hypocritical.

But this time it happened to herself. As an insider, she didn't understand it at all.

Brooke pondered for a while before saying: "Sometimes we don't need to think about what we have to do. It is actually very difficult to live every day well.

And if we can live each day well, we may find the fun, and no matter how bad it is... we can also prepare ourselves to face the upcoming new day with a better attitude. "

"I don't know...I've forgotten how to live a good day."

As Skyler spoke, he ran his fingers through his hair, opening up the hair that was tangled due to being air-dried in a semi-dry state, and then said: "Can you give me some practical advice? Brooke."

Brook reached out and scratched the crack on his forehead, and then said: "You can try music..."

"pass."

Skyler waved her hand. She had no interest in music. She just liked those exciting tunes. She neither loved music nor had much appreciation for music itself.

The first suggestion was rejected, which made Brook a little distressed. Then he asked: "Sir, Madam, have you ever had any hobbies? Even if it was a long time ago?"

Skyler thought for a while and said: "I have had many hobbies, such as various toys, such as finding a pile of sandpaper just to polish something smooth, such as reading comics..."

As she spoke, Skyler stopped, because for a moment, there were so many things in her mind that she was interested in but had never invested in. If she talked about them all, maybe it would be dawn.

Brooke nodded and said, "How about starting all over again?"

"Playing with toys? It seems a bit inappropriate for me at my age, right?"

Skyler said jokingly, but Brooke shook his head and said: "If you want to use age to define what a person should do, then what I should do now... is to die yo hoo hoo hoo~"

"Hahaha~"

Skyler patted Brooke's bones and laughed, then looked at the bright light in the distance with a smile and said: "I will follow your method and try it.

However, I remembered something I had always wanted to do but never had the chance to do. "

"What is it?"

"Forging, that should be interesting. Didn't you say you want to make a new sword? Tomorrow we will go to the forge and I will personally make you a sword of famous sword quality!"

Skyler said, already smiling expectantly. Brooke heard this and looked at Skyler, a little confused.

After all, in his opinion, blacksmithing is a means of making a living, and few people would love a craft for making a living, but... maybe, music can also be a craft for making a living, don't you like it too?

Thinking of this, Brooke said: "I think this is very good. The collision of fire and iron must be a very interesting thing."

Skyler also nodded in approval and said, "Then it's settled!"

When Skyler said this, he had a confident look on his face, and he had even begun to figure out in his mind how to balance it with his current status if he concurrently served as the world's number one forging master.

The next day, in a military forge in Marineland, Skyler did not wear a cloak of justice, but he had an extra cowhide apron and thick insulation gloves on his hands.

She is holding a giant hammer bigger than her own head in her right hand, and large pliers in her left hand. The front of the pliers...

Skyler looked at the severely layered iron banana held by the pliers and fell into a long silence. She remembered that she took a cube steel embryo and began to heat and forge it.

The target shape was a long, flat and thin ceremonial sword shape. She even drew the basic outline on the anvil, but why... did this piece of steel become like this?

The temperature in the forge was very high at this time, but everyone in the forge, including the blacksmiths, Nurkic, and Brooke, who had no skin, felt cold all over.

No one dared to speak, because they were all afraid of being like that steel embryo. When that giant hammer came down, even Nurkic felt that he could not survive three blows.

"Clang~"

Suddenly, Skyler threw away the pliers and steel blank in his hand, and placed the giant hammer on the anvil. He looked back at the other people in the forge. Where Skyler's eyes passed, people could not even breathe. Dare to proceed.

"I haven't been here today, you all understand what I mean, right?"

Skyler said, taking off two heat-resistant gloves. Everyone in the forge, hearing Skyler's words, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Seeing how sensible these people were, Skyler nodded with satisfaction, took off his cowhide apron, threw it casually on the rack nearby, and then walked out of the forge as if nothing had happened.

Fortunately, it was early in the morning, and not many people came out today due to yesterday's battle, so no one saw what Skyler did in the past hour.

However, Skyler, who had just walked out of the forge, had not yet breathed a sigh of relief when a meat ball ran towards him. Skyler looked over and looked at it for a long time before realizing that it was McKinsey.

Skyler blinked, wondering if McKinsey's weight was related to his position and power?Why does McKinsey gain weight after every promotion?

At this time, McKenzie also ran up to Skyler in a daze, reluctantly supporting his knees with both hands, panting heavily, forcing a smile, and said: "Skyler...Lieutenant General, good morning ah!"

"If you don't want to stay with Mariejoia anymore, why do you want to come to Malinfando?"

Skyler asked doubtfully, isn't McKinsey the human resources director next to Tianlong?Moreover, even if you need to come to Marinefando for work, you should go to the headquarters building. How come you come to the forge?

After hearing Skyler's question, McKinsey tried his best to adjust his breathing, and then said: "I came here with other officials. It just so happened that you entrusted me with...the matter of recruiting people. I haven't told you yet." What about the report?

When I came over, I heard from the navy on your ship that you came to the forge early in the morning. Is the saber damaged?Do you need me to find the best knifemaker for you?Or looking for another famous knife for you? "

McKenzie was very enthusiastic, but Skyler's face darkened a little bit. The last thing she wanted to hear at this time was about the forge.

However, McKenzie was too tired to keep his eyes open at this time, and was unable to use his ability to recognize people, and did not notice Skyler's murderous intention that was gradually becoming more intense at this time.

Fortunately, Nurkic and Brook followed up at this time. Nurkic looked at Brook. Brook, the veteran, understood what Nurkic meant and nodded. Nurkic then explained:

"It was Colonel Brooke who needed to build a saber. Our commander just came to participate and give some suggestions."

After hearing Nurkic's explanation, McKenzie nodded, and Skyler also nodded and put away the murderous aura in his body. At this time, McKinsey's breath was almost adjusted, and he was finally able to straighten up and open his eyes.

Skyler calmed down at this time. After all, McKinsey definitely didn't do it on purpose, and he didn't have the guts to do it on purpose. Skyler calmed down and asked McKinsey:

"Why don't we find a place to talk about the matter I entrusted you with."

McKenzie nodded and said, "I have already sent someone to reserve a tea room. We should go there now and it should be ready."

McKinsey was obviously very good at "being a man". Skyler nodded and followed McKinsey's steps toward a tea room. However, after arriving, something more embarrassing happened.

The tea room was not open, and the World Government official looked a little embarrassed at this time. McKinsey wanted to yell at him and teach him a lesson, but Skyler was by his side, so he did not dare to be too presumptuous.

Skyler then recalled that the towns of Marinefando had not yet been restored to normal, so it was normal for no one to be there, so she said: "Let's talk on my warship, so as not to be overheard by others."

"Yes, you are thoughtful."

McKenzie nodded quickly, and then they left the town of Marinefando and returned to the warship. After asking Leon to prepare tea and snacks, Skyler asked: "How is the situation?"

McKenzie looked around and found that a group of marines did not behave particularly unusually. They seemed not to be interested in what they were talking about at all, and Skyler had no intention of hiding anything.

Seeing this, McKinsey probably guessed that there was a high probability that there were no "others" on this warship. They were all Skyler's own people, so he didn't hide it and said directly:

"It happened that the former commander of cp0 was dismissed. Now that cp0 is temporarily managed by me, I took the decision and arranged them all into cp0. Lieutenant General Schuyler, do you think a cp0 commander will be useful to you? Help?"
