People are pirates, this navy is not very fair!

Pollock Island, Hallstatt Town.

On a coastal beach, the sea breeze is gentle and the waves are crashing on the shore.

White seagulls fell from the sky and looked for food leisurely on the beach.

Not far away, in an open-air restaurant called SUMMER, under a huge parasol and at a table filled with food, a man and a woman were sitting opposite each other.

Wearing a white cloak of justice, a peach V-neck short top, and white hot pants, Gion hugged her shoulders, crossed her slender legs, and raised her left foot.

She looked at Sephiroth, who was sitting opposite her, wearing a white cloak of justice and a black suit. There was a hint of anger in her moist peach eyes:

"You guy, why do I always come to you?

Can't you take the initiative and come to see me once or twice? "

Hearing this, Sephiroth paused slightly while holding a knife and fork and cutting steak with his hands. He shook his head and sighed inexplicably:

"I'm so busy! You don't know, I'm so busy every day now! Forty-eight hours in a day are not enough..."

Sephiroth really spoke these words from the bottom of his heart!

Now, he exclusively uses a bat clone to hang up at the G5 branch to work, and uses another bat clone to replace the main body to go to the laboratory to conduct scientific research, while his main body needs to deal with the affairs of Wano Country, and also has to arrange a date to go there. Accompany the girls...

One person performs three-line operations!

What he does in a busy day would make even the top time management masters feel ashamed!

Although the work of the G5 branch is mainly cruising at sea, and the Bat clone is usually in a sleep and idle state, when encountering pirates, he occasionally needs to be present in person...

After all, this is a new world, and most pirates are pretty good guys!

As for scientific research and experiments...

Although he does not need to be present in person for some experiments, he still needs to use most of his mind to control the details of the bat clone in his daily life.

After all, these four projects, bloodline factor application, artificial devil fruit, vicious drug ES, and cloning technology, are all very important and related to the development of his future power!

Hearing Sephiroth's words, Gion pursed her lips, and she subconsciously muttered:

"The G5 branch is recognized as the most leisurely organization among all branches of the Navy in the Grand Line. What are you busy with all day long?"

Sephiroth laughed and said, "You're too busy lying flat on your back."

Gion: (●?●?)

Hearing this perfunctory answer, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. She wanted to ask:

You bastard, are you working on a woman's belly?

but……

Gion thought for a while, but still didn't have an attack. Reason told her that once she asked, she would be even more angry!

Sometimes, Gion also wonders why he was blind in the first place and fell in love with Sephiroth, a little puppy... Bah! It's a big radish!

So, she unknowingly fell deeper and deeper into it!

It's not like Gion has never had the idea that she, Xiaoqi, would work hard to drive away the previous ones and successfully counterattack and sit upright.

however……

Due to some rumors within the navy, she accidentally heard about Sephiroth and the pirate empress Boya Hancock...

In order to confirm the authenticity of the matter, Gion once tested Sephiroth intentionally or unintentionally after the fact... The result was very bad!

Sephiroth, that bastard, actually had an affair with the three Boya sisters!

This cruel fact made Gion feel a little helpless. If it were another woman, she felt she could still make some money, but her competitor is... The Pirate Empress Boya Hancock!

Gion met each other by chance once when he was on a mission...

Let me tell you, that woman is poisonous!

Even though Gion is a woman, and as a love rival, she still has some feelings for Boya Hancock...! ?

She doesn't do Ji!

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.JPG

Sensing the change in Gion's mood, Sephiroth thought for a while before he tentatively said:

"How about you spend the night here tonight?

I know a hotel with a very big and soft bed..."

"Hmph! No time!

I just happened to pass by on a mission this time, and I will leave after dinner..."

Hearing this, Gion hummed a few words, and directly chose to reject his unabashed offer of a fight.

"Uh! All right!"

In response, Sephiroth just shrugged indifferently.

Coincidentally, according to the schedule, he also needs to go out on patrol after lunch...

For more than a year, he has been traveling around under the banner of the G5 branch within his jurisdiction.

Sometimes, the warships he commanded even exceeded the jurisdiction of the G5 branch and were routinely questioned by other branches, but he was fooled by the reason of hunting pirates.

however……

Sephiroth has almost searched all the waters under the jurisdiction of the G5 branch, but he still hasn't found his target!

Does that island actually not exist in this world, or... was it destroyed by the world government?

The phone suddenly rang, interrupting Sephiroth's thinking.

Immediately, he took out a military phone bug from his coat pocket, placed it on the dining table, took off the receiver, and answered the call.

"Who are you and why are you calling me?"

"It's me! Warring States."

"Huh!? Warring States General, you called me for something?"

Sephiroth raised his eyebrows slightly, he had already guessed something.

"I have already read your resignation application..."

"What!?... Sephiroth, you want to resign?"

Hearing this, Gion frowned slightly, her tone full of surprise.

"Is it convenient for you to talk now?" Zhan Guo asked doubtfully.

Sephiroth raised his right index finger, put it to his mouth, and made a silent gesture towards Gion, indicating that the other party should not interrupt casually.

"Hmm!...The one who just spoke was Brigadier General Gion.

It’s just resignation, there’s nothing inconvenient about it…”

"Sephiroth, your reason for resignation...'The world is so big, I want to see it!'

To be honest, it was a bit too hasty.

If you are dissatisfied with your current position, you can just tell me and I will help you make adjustments and arrangements..."

The tone of Warring States' exhortation seemed quite calm, and he tried his best to express his sincerity.

The Warring States Period was because Sephiroth's combat prowess was comparable to that of a general, and he did not want to let his talents drain out, so he acted like this.

If it were an ordinary brigadier general, he would at most just ask a few questions as usual, and then sign directly and let the other party complete the handover procedures within a month, and then get out!

Zefa is a good example. After his family was killed by pirates, he also submitted a resignation application to Navy Marshal Cyborg Kong. However, after Cyborg Kong tried his best to persuade him, he finally stayed at the military academy as the general manager. instructor and retained the rank of general.

The navy is still very concerned about the top experts...

"No need!

Isn’t it human nature to pursue freedom and dreams? "

Hearing this, Warring States' voice became a little more solemn inexplicably:

"Freedom and dreams...!?

Sephiroth...are you planning to become a pirate? "

"Hey! You bad old man, please don't spit on others!?

When did I say that I wanted to be a pirate? Sephiroth retorted unceremoniously.

Warring States: "..."

In fact, it’s not surprising that he misunderstood...

After all, since Roger started the great pirate era, more and more people, under the slogan of pursuing freedom and dreams, have poured into the sea and become pirates for evil reasons!

Under the influence of inertial thinking, Sengoku's first reaction was... Sephiroth is going to go to sea to become a pirate?

"Ahem! In fact, you can pursue freedom and dreams in the navy. There is really no need to resign..." Sengoku advised.

"Do you believe this...?

Even you, the admiral, are not free, how can I be free? Sephiroth asked disdainfully.

It is true that you can fish in the navy, but there are limits...

When it's time to go on a mission and catch pirates, you can't refuse an order!

Otherwise, prepare to go to court-martial!

Of course, if Sephiroth doesn't work hard and is an actor all the time, there's nothing anyone else can do to him...

but……

He felt that there was no need for him to stay in the navy!

The storm of the inventory operation has completely passed, and the traces he left behind in helping the development of the umbrella company have also been dealt with.

In addition, with the current size of the Umbrella Company, it can continue to develop smoothly even without him to protect it within the Navy.

Therefore, Sephiroth felt that he should retreat from the rapids now and go ashore with a clear conscience!

"..."

Warring States was silent for a long time before he spoke:

"Let's do this! Think about it again. If you need anything, you can just tell me.

I will not approve your resignation application for the time being. "

After saying that, Sengoku hung up the call before Sephiroth could respond.

After weighing it up, Sengoku still called Cyborg Kong to explain that Sephiroth wanted to resign.

Although he can now handle naval affairs with full authority on behalf of the Admiral of the Navy, he has not become a regular official after all, and some things still need to be decided by the rightful owner...

After Sephiroth ended the call, Gion couldn't stand it any longer. She asked with a complicated expression:

"Are you really leaving the Navy?"

"Well! In the navy, not only are we tied up, but we also have no future..." Sephiroth nodded slightly.

"With your strength, how can you have no future!?"

"Then why do you think I was transferred to the G5 branch given my strength?"

"..."

“I have received the news that Sengoku will take over as marshal of the navy next month.

With his attitude towards me, there's no point in me staying in the Navy...

Besides, I'm tired of being in the Navy! "

"..."

Gion looked at him blankly and didn't speak for a long time, as if he wanted to confirm the authenticity of what he said.

After a while, she said in a low voice:

"I'm stuffed!"

After saying that, she put down the knife and fork in her hand, stood up, and quickly left the restaurant.

Sephiroth glanced at the almost untouched food on the table. He couldn't help but shook his head and watched Gion leave.

At this moment, a group of sixteen people walked in from outside the restaurant.

Among them, there are men and women, old and young, and they are dressed in different styles.

Among this group of people, the leader is a guy dressed like a flamingo. He wears a pink feather coat, a red suit, and sunglasses on his face... Doflamingo!

In addition, there is an old acquaintance of Sephiroth... Vergo!

Seeing these two guys, the identity of this group of people has been revealed... They are the Don Quixote family!

While Sephiroth looked at them, Vergo, who was among the crowd, also turned to look at him.

Although both parties knew each other, their positions were different now, so Vergo did not come up to say hello, but followed the others and found a seat in the restaurant to sit down.

Sephiroth withdrew his gaze and planned to leave directly after finishing lunch to do other things.

however……

Bulu~! Bulu~! Bulu~!

The military phone bug he had not put in his pocket rang again.

In desperation, Sephiroth had to answer the phone again. He said impatiently:

"Who is it!? If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have something to say, say it quickly!"

"..."

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while.

After a few seconds, a rich voice came from the phone bug's mouth:

"I am Cyborg Kong."

Hearing this, Sephiroth suddenly laughed and said slightly embarrassed:

"Ahem!... Marshal Kong, why did you call me?"

"You actually urged me to fart quickly...

Well, I won’t beat around the bush with you.

It's okay if you want to quit the Navy, but...

You must hand over the butcher knife to me, and then you can leave the Navy, otherwise there is no need to talk... That's it! "

pat!

After saying that, the person on the other side of the phone hung up the call, leaving Sephiroth stunned.

Good guy! I didn't realize it before, but Cyborg Kong, this bad old man, is actually so stingy...?

Sephiroth first cursed in his heart, and then he frowned.

Cyborg Kong made it very clear that as long as he was willing to hand over the butcher knife, he could just get out!

This move of retreating in order to advance can be described as cunning...

Cyborg seems to have agreed to Sephiroth's resignation application, and the butcher knife was a reward given to him by the navy. If he wants to leave the navy, he must return this supremely sharp knife.

No matter how you look at it, this makes perfect sense!

however……

The butcher's knife has been refined into a black knife by Sephiroth. If it is missing, even if he has other supreme sharp knives as a replacement, his strength will drop by at least [-]% or [-]%!

In addition, Butcher's Knife also ate the Gate Fruit, allowing Sephiroth to travel freely to various places.

It can be said that he can develop the huge power he has today, and the assistance of Butcher's knife is indispensable!

If Sephiroth loses his butcher knife, it will be even worse than killing him!

Thinking of this, Sephiroth couldn't help but rub his chin gently, muttering secretly in his heart:

Otherwise...I'll just break up and betray the navy! ?

Yes, but not necessary!

Only young people can act impulsively and break up with each other. As a mature businessman, Sephiroth doesn't like to cause all kinds of trouble for himself just because he wants to be quick.

Forget it, when Old Man Kong is relieved, I will see if I can bargain with him...
