My little brothers are all big guys

The old man was very happy.

"Ah, I remember, I'll go see if there are enough medicines." Mason laughed and ran away instantly.

Treacherous, Smoker cursed in his heart, and followed closely: "I'll go see the number of pirates and help count them, I'm afraid those guys are not serious."

He also ran away.

The bystander Major Green was stunned. These, these people, the style of painting is very strange!

Ivan made tea again and invited Green to sit down.

This person has a good character and is pleasing to his eyes. He can try to win him over.

In fact, Mason and Smoker did not run far, but observed Ivan's face nearby.

Mason is known as the Iron Tower, with amazing defense.

However, he once used the iron block in the Six Styles, and covered it with Armament Haki, but was punched by Ivan and vomited blood.

As for Smoker, he thought that after learning Haki, the gap with Ivan would be narrowed, and he might even have a chance to surpass him.

As a result, he was beaten to doubt his life.

That kind of pain, he has been beaten for six years, and only he knows it.

In the cabin, rest area.

A sleepy little boy wearing a red conical hat, pajamas and slippers walked out of the bedroom.

The little boy had a middle-parted bangs on his forehead and a few freckles on both cheeks.

"Oh, it's Master Ace."

"Master Ace, are you hungry?"

"Master Ace, do you need me to prepare towels and toiletries for you?"

Along the way, the soldiers greeted him one after another, and everyone knew that the colonel was a brother-loving demon.

Ace waved his hand casually and asked: "Why is there so much noise up there?"

The soldier replied: "We have captured many pirates today, and many injured marines are also being treated on board."

Catching pirates, Ace's little eyes lit up instantly, and he ran out immediately.

At the exit of the cabin, Mason and Smoker stood there like two door gods, becoming the left and right guardians.

"What are you doing here?" Ace asked in confusion, aren't you catching pirates? Why are these two so leisurely?

Mason smiled immediately when he saw little Ace, picked him up, and let him ride on his shoulders:

"Oh, it's Ace, why did you get up so early today?"

Smoker looked at the dusk, and a trace of disdain flashed in his heart for Mason, a flatterer.

Ace clenched his fist and said regretfully: "Brother Mason, you are catching pirates today, why didn't you call me? I am very powerful now."

"Ace, you are still young now. When you grow up, you will have a chance." Smoker was holding a cigar in his mouth, and his attitude towards the little guy Ace was still very gentle.

Mason laughed: "Ace, if you want to fight, I will ask someone to bring a few pirates for you to fight, just as a special training."

At night, the lights in the ship's restaurant were as bright as day, and the decoration was magnificent.

The rectangular dining table was covered with a white tablecloth, and the tableware was all ceramic bowls and plates, and the knives and forks were made of gold.

One by one, steaming delicacies were served on the table, and there were more than 20 dishes.

There were more than a dozen people seated, all of whom were non-commissioned officers above the rank of second lieutenant, and each of them had a glass of red wine in front of them.

Elegant music was playing, and this scene made people feel as if they were dining in a high-end restaurant.

Ivan sat at the main seat, and next to him was Ace, who was chewing a chicken leg without any manners.

Smoker and Mason sat at the first seats on the left and right sides, and there was an empty seat next to Mason.

This, this is too extravagant, Major Green was very surprised, and at the same time he was secretly complaining about Ivan.

It was true that Colonel Ivan was an elite figure in the navy, but it was wrong to abuse military funds.

Ivan held the wine glass and gently shook the red wine in the glass to make it swirl.

Others also drank the wine and did not touch the food.

After chewing the chicken leg, Ace wiped his mouth with a napkin, still chewing the meat in his mouth: "Ounisan (big brother), next time you catch a pirate, you must call me, I haven't caught a pirate myself yet."

He stood up from his seat and punched and kicked at the air, his moves were well-proportioned and powerful.

"Ounisan, look, I'm very strong."

"Hahahaha, our little Ace is really strong!" Mason led the applause.

"Good." Ivan touched Ace's head and did not ignore his needs.

Ivan understood Ace's mentality very well. He was a man with a strong self-esteem. He just wanted to prove himself.

He had a great prejudice against his father Roger. In fact, it was just because others called him Roger's son and completely ignored his existence.

But Roger, that guy, had been a son of Roger since he was born.

From the first day, he had never been given any love.

Ace longed for love. According to the plot of the anime, the person who gave Ace love and recognition was Whitebeard, but now it has become Ivan.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, everyone has been waiting for a long time." Kuro, who had a big black back hair, wore glasses, and looked like a secretary, came late.

He sat in the empty seat next to Mason. Ivan said: "Let's eat, everyone should be hungry."

While everyone was eating, Kuro forked a piece of beef and put it into his mouth.

After swallowing the meat, he said to Ivan: "Boss, this time the spoils are good."

"Cash and treasures are estimated to be about 23 million Baileys, and the two large sailing ships are valued at 180 million Baileys."

"So, this operation has harvested more than 200 million Baileys."

The non-commissioned officers below were excited when they heard this number.

Among the four of them, Kuro had the worst talent. His current rank is only a lieutenant, and he is not famous.

However, Kuro is an indispensable figure on the Sea Dragon.

He is still serving as a secretary and financial officer.

Ivan said with a smile: "Take out 8 million Baileys and distribute them to the brothers below. In addition."

"Don't give the old man with white hair his share. Anyway, he will donate the money if you give him money. The salary of the navy is enough for him to live."

The soldiers under Ivan are known as the most combat-capable corps and the richest navy.

Ivan's style is to capture pirates, plunder the spoils, and hand them over to the headquarters?

That's impossible. He put the big head into his pocket himself, and the non-commissioned officers get a share, and the ordinary soldiers can also get a share.

Therefore, all his soldiers are loyal to him. Every time they see pirates, they are like hungry wolves howling, and they are particularly ferocious in battle.

Smoker was unhappy: "Hey, why don't you give me your share? You still care how I use the money I get?"

Smoker is a man who doesn't tolerate any sand in his eyes. He complained about Ivan's failure to hand over the spoils from the beginning, thinking that Ivan violated military regulations.

In order to fit in, he took the money he was given, but donated it all to civilians and institutions in need.

"I have something to do recently. Anyway, you don't like money, I'll help you save your share first." Ivan said with a smile.

The blatant division of the spoils made Major Green's face pale, and he stood up with gritted teeth: "Colonel, I think your approach is wrong. This is not in line with the rules of the Navy."

Instantly, the atmosphere in the restaurant fell into a heavy mood. Everyone stopped talking, and only Ace was eating.

Kuro broke the awkward atmosphere. He walked to Green with a smile, hugged his shoulders and said:

"Major, don't be so rigid!"

"There are many things you don't know. We use combat items to motivate soldiers, subsidize military expenses, and even help civilians harmed by pirates. Do you know these things?"

"Think about it, today, why are our medicines and medical care so sufficient and advanced?"

"We bought them with our own money. Look at the food on this table. We also spent our own money, but we didn't embezzle military funds."

"That little military expenditure is not enough. Why do you think our troops are so strong?"

"It's because we eat well, spend a lot on training, and have guaranteed medical care when we are injured. Where do you think all this money comes from?"

Major Green found himself speechless, but he thought it was a perverse logic.

Rules? Ivan doesn't care about any rules. Green still has no research on officialdom.

This practice is definitely not hidden, but the current Navy Marshal Sengoku has never said a word to Ivan.

The new general Sakaski is very dissatisfied with Ivan, so will he care?

Obviously Ivan will not care, anyway, he is not Sakaski's subordinate.

At most, they will dislike each other, or fight.

Ivan admitted that he would definitely not be able to beat Akainu at this stage, but he would not lose badly.
