My partner in One Piece is Esdeath

Chapter 184 Smoker’s Request

"Boss, what do you want from me? You're chasing a pirate. Okay, have his photos been sent to me? I'll go take a look now."

In the study room of the small foreign-style building, Annan glanced at the reward order slowly coming out of the fax machine, and his expression immediately turned as if he had eaten a fly.

"Fire Fist Ace? I'm going to hunt him down? Are you kidding me!"

Annan shouted to the phone bug who was chewing his cigar.

"What, are you scared?" Akainu asked in a deep voice on the phone.

"I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid."

Annan curled his lips, pulled out a chair and sat down, calming down his emotions.

"Oh, Whitebeard's son always causes trouble wherever he goes. I just think our navy will be in trouble if we catch him."

Ace, this guy, should just stay somewhere cool. Annan is in no mood to go to the new world to catch him.

"wrong……"

Annan frowned, looked up at the calendar, and felt that things were not simple.

"This man won't come to paradise." Annan said to himself.

"You're right," Akainu said.

"He is hunting down the traitors of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates. Recently, the navy discovered that the Blackbeard Pirates appeared in the paradise. According to our judgment, Ace has also come to the paradise."

"Your mission is very simple. Find Ace's traces, capture him, or drive him away to the new world. Anyway, if you stay idle in the headquarters, you will be idle. When you are young, you should move around more. Don't imitate Polusali. Nuo sits in the office drinking tea all day long."

"Okay, I'll take this job. But first, let's talk about it. Without exact information, I can't guarantee that I will find him." Annan said to the phone bug.

"Don't worry, I will ask the intelligence department to pay attention. Once there is new information, I will send it to you as soon as possible." Akainu said in a deep voice, ""

Click.

The phone bug closed his eyes.

Annan leaned back on his chair, stared blankly at the reward order on his desk, and let out a long sigh:

"If you don't look for trouble, trouble will find itself."

After that, Annan stood up and left.

………………

Headquarters port, Ice and Fire Man.

"Then I'll leave the Ice and Fire Man. After all, I have to hunt down a pirate group."

Outside the scientific research cabin, Esdeath said to Annan.

"Fire Fist Ace, you have to catch him."

"I heard that he ate the natural Shao Shao fruit, which is fire like you. It's a pity that I can't be with you. I really want to see whose flame is stronger."

"It's not about catching him, it's about looking for traces of him." Annan corrected.

"Isn't this different? When you find him, will you hold back and not take action?" Esdeath smiled, "When you catch Ace, the Whitebeard Pirates will definitely come to rescue him. In this way, I You can fight the strongest person."

"You are really worried that the world will not be in chaos." Annan's mouth twitched, "But then again, the headquarters actually asked you to deal with Blackbeard's gang."

"What, are you worried about me? I've read the intelligence. Although it's a bit tricky, it's not enough to make me stumble."

"It's not that I'm worried." Annan was silent for a while and said quietly:

"If you can, you'd better beat them all to death."

If Esdeath sinks all these people into the sea, everything will really be fine.

"You actually care so much about this group of people." Esdeath raised an eyebrow, "The last time I saw you killing pirates was in the South China Sea."

"I just think they are ugly." Annan said, "But where do you want to start? The sea is so big, you can't search aimlessly."

"I'm going to the Magnetic Drum Country first. The latest information says that the Blackbeard Pirates have attacked this country..."

While the two were talking, the hatch of the scientific research room slowly opened.

Kuromi walked out holding a tachi that was taller than her.

"Hey, Annan." Kuromi came to Annan, "Based on your ideas, I designed this sword. Although I encountered some problems in the process, fortunately they were all solved."

Annan took the sword and gently pulled out the blade. The length of the blade was the same as the previous Muramasa, and there were flame-like patterns on the blade. Annan activates his ability and injects heat energy into it, and the flame pattern gradually becomes brighter.

"What a great sword." Annan's eyes lit up, "It can withstand my power without entangling the domineering energy. It's really high-tech, ah no, isn't this Hex Technology?"

"What are you talking about?" Kuromi tilted his head, automatically ignoring the strange nouns Annan said.

"But you are right to say that it is high-tech. The traditional knife forging method is a secret that has not been passed down. In order to meet your requirements, I have put a lot of effort into it. I can write several papers on the new alloy just produced."

"I never thought you could forge swords." Esdeath looked at Kurome with blazing eyes, as if looking at a treasure bag.

"Forged sword? It probably doesn't count." Kuromi shook his head.

"Most of the famous swords on the sea are forged by craftsmen. I can't say whether it is the craftsmen who make the famous swords or the swordsmen who make the famous swords." Kuromi explained seriously.

"But all knives have the possibility of evolving into black knives. I hope it can shine in your hands."

"Glows out and heats up... let's call it 'Huang'."

Annan looked at the light carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

"You can name it as you like. I'm not familiar with swords. But I really don't understand. Why do you want me to make such a long sword?"

After listening to Kuromi's words, Annan lowered his head and looked at Kurome.

"Is there a possibility that you think the reason why this knife is long is..."

"Don't make fun of my height! If you say anything else, I'll get angry!" Kuromi said angrily.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."

"Polo, Polo, Polo..."

The phone bug on Annan's wrist rang.

"There have been a lot of phone calls recently."

Annan opened the phone bug, which turned into a figure holding three cigars.

"Annan, I am Smoker, and I need your help." Smoker got straight to the point and said to Annan.

"You are really direct." Annan grinned, "I heard from Tina that you were not a good base commander and ran out to chase a group of pirate brats. What happened? Did you catch them?"

"Not yet, but I have determined where they are going."

"Oh, really, where is it?"

"Alabasta." Smoker said solemnly, "The Navy's bug intercepted a message indicating that the Straw Hats are in Alabasta, and I am on my way there."

"Not only that, I arrested a pirate named Mr. 11, and I got information from him that there is a criminal group making big moves in Alabasta."

"Annan, I need you..."

"Okay, stop talking, see you in Alabasta then." Annan interrupted Smog, "I am alone now, and I will still be on your boat when the time comes."
