Chapter 417 Vacation? [Four-in-One] that Does Not Exist

"Make a wish!"

In a barbecue restaurant in Marlin Vanduo, a group of high-ranking navy officers surrounded Ace, but Ace was a little embarrassed at this time, because he actually asked him to light the candles for the birthday cake.

Coupled with a group of people surrounding him to make a wish, Ace enjoyed this moment a few years ago, but now he feels a little embarrassed and uncomfortable.

As uncomfortable as Ace was, there was Akainu, who was sitting on another table at this time, frowning and waiting to talk about the so-called important matter. In fact, he had already guessed it, but he didn't want to get angry.

Even Akainu can understand Skyler's purpose of bringing him to the party. After all, relying on himself, it is difficult to establish a good relationship with these people. Skyler gave him a good opportunity.

But he still can't let go of his face and socialize with everyone outside of official business, or he doesn't know how to do it. This is what makes him really uncomfortable.

Akainu and Ace should be the only two in the field who wish the party to end early, but one is that no one cares about it, and the other is that they are asked too much.

Fortunately, after Ace finished blowing out the candles, no one paid attention to him. After all, a group of people seldom get together, so why play with a child?

"Ain, I heard that you are now the cultural class instructor for several of them? Thank you, you have worked hard."

Skyler was holding two glasses of fruit punch, one was placed in front of Ian, and the other was drunk by himself. Hearing Skyler's thanks, Ian was a little flattered, and a blush appeared on his pale face , said:

"You are too polite, Lieutenant General Skyler, this is all my duty."

"Haha~ It's a pity that Hamilton is home, otherwise the two of you must have something in common."

Skyler didn't insist on thanking her, after all, she also knew that her gratitude was no longer affordable to anyone, but she changed the topic.

Upon hearing this, Ain asked suspiciously: "Colonel Hamilton? I remember he is the quartermaster of your detachment."

"Also the prep teacher for these little bastards in my detachment."

"Oh, if I'm lucky enough to meet him, I must ask him for advice."

Ai En said very seriously, she even wanted to thank Hamilton in person, if it wasn't for him, maybe her work would have been more difficult, right?

Skyler nodded, raised his glass, and said, "If there is a chance, I will introduce the two of you to each other."

Although it was just a polite remark, Skyler would not shirk it if he had the opportunity to make a recommendation. .

Skyler didn't continue chatting with Ain, but turned around and chatted with Sengoku, He and others. After all, Skyler had more topics on the other side than Ain, who had only met a few times.

"It seems that the shipyard integration negotiations in the capital of seven waters are at an advanced stage. Do we need to send someone to assist by then?"

As soon as he turned to the table where Crane and the others were, he heard Crane and Sengoku chatting about business again. Skyler glanced at his mouth and was about to interrupt, when he suddenly saw Akainu who was drinking alone, so he beckoned to him. waved.

Akainu was a little puzzled, but he still came over with his own cup. Crane and Sengoku also noticed this, and the two seemed a little shocked that Skyler didn't come to make trouble.

And when Warring States saw Chiquan coming, he probably understood something, so he said to him: "Chiquan, come here, the old man wants to talk to you."

"Is there any mission?"

Akainu, who had been bored all night, suddenly regained his energy. Sengoku paused, but still nodded, and said, "You should have read the merger reports of those shipbuilding companies in the capital of seven waters, right?"

Akainu nodded, the city of seven waters is a very special place, more than 80% of the ships of medium size and above traveling on the great waterway are from the shipbuilders of the capital of seven waters.

Whether it is pirates, the navy, other organizations of the world government, or warships from allied countries and non-alienated countries, they will purchase from the capital of seven waters, and those who are capable will take it back and install engines.

If you don't have this ability, you can also buy engines from the capital of seven waters, or directly order ships without active power engines, or the latter is the norm.

In such a place, his every move is very eye-catching, especially many companies in the capital of seven waters are also contracted to maintain the sea train channel opened by the world government.

The merger of these companies actually has more advantages than disadvantages for the world government, because in this way, there will be fewer people to connect with, and the structure of the entire capital of seven waters will be more vertical, with better cooperation and control.

But it is not without disadvantages, because the establishment of a company means that in the future, there will be a mainstream voice that can represent the voice of the capital of seven waters and those shipwrights.

If this person is dissatisfied with the control of the world government, then by then, all departments under the world government that need to order ships may be affected.

Of course, a capital of seven waters would not dare to resist the world government, but the world government would not be able to hold accountable and urge corrections for some obstacles within the rules.

Therefore, who will speak in the capital of seven waters in the future, and who can speak the voice of the mainstream, is very important to the world government, and the navy has held more than one meeting for this.

Akainu, as a general in the navy whose power is second only to the marshal, is also very convenient to retrieve all kinds of information. In addition, he "loves work", so he must have read the relevant reports.

Seeing Akaken nodding at this time, Zhan Guo was also very satisfied. If it was a yellow monkey, he would probably pretend to be a fool at this time. After slandering the yellow monkey in his heart, Zhan Guo said:

"According to our navy's current investigation in the capital of the seven waters, after the merger of the major shipbuilding companies in the capital of the seven waters, the person who is most likely to be the president is that Mr. Bingshan."

"An iceberg from Tom's Shipbuilding?"

Akainu frowned. He naturally knew about Bingshan. After all, he took over the class of the famous shipbuilder Tom, and Tom was the shipbuilder who built the ship for One Piece King Gordo Roger.

In addition, the current sea train was also planned and built by Tom, but after the sea train was built, Tom was convicted and sentenced to death. Now his Tom Shipbuilding Company is taken over by Bingberg.

Bingshan is one of Tom's students, and he was interrogated by the world government together with Tom. It was only Tom who pleaded guilty to all the crimes alone, so that the two students who were interrogated with him were spared.

Of course, of these two students, Bingshan is the only one left now, and the other student... has committed suicide.

As an absolute hawk, in the eyes of Akainu, Tom deserves what he deserves, and Bingberg's innocence is just a joke, but the world government has closed the case, and he can only complain in his heart.

Seeing that Akainu really knew about Bingshan, and obviously had read the report on the Seven Water Capital incident in detail, Sengoku was even more satisfied, and then said:

"Actually, Bingshan was the first to propose the merger of the shipbuilding companies this time. Because of his teacher Tom, most of the shipbuilding companies supported him.

What the old man is worried about now is whether this iceberg will be dissatisfied with the World Government because of Tom's affairs. "

"Dare he?!"

Akainu's words were resounding, Sengoku waved his hands helplessly, and said, "Just assume he dares, what can our navy do?"

"slaughter"

"Stop, stop! What the old man is thinking about now is how to ensure that Bingshan will not do things that disgust us after he takes office, or... let someone who is closer to our navy take office, instead of destroying these shipbuilding companies."

Warring States was a little helpless, then thought for a while, and reminded: "Akainu, don't forget, the hull of your new warship will also be built by them. I don't think what you want is a second-rate warship, right?"

Hearing Sengoku mentioned the new warship, Akainu finally calmed down, nodded, and signaled Sengoku to continue.

Warring States took a deep breath, thankful that Crane has filled Akakenu's desire for new warships in the past few years, otherwise Akakenu would not be so easy to talk, I was grateful in my heart, and said on my mouth:

"The old man wants to use the reason that you need to build a new warship to test the attitude of the capital of seven waters towards our navy."

"Then when do I leave?"

Akainu asked in a daze, Sengoku rubbed his brows, and said, "Be fast and do it naturally, Skyler"

As Zhan Guo said, he suddenly looked at Skyler, who was already out of his mind. Skyler was called, and his whole body trembled. He looked at Zhan Guo, nodded, and said, "Yeah."

Seeing Skyler's sincerely approving face, Sengoku felt his blood pressure rise again, took deep breaths, calmed down, and said:

"After the next year, you will act together with Akainu. I think Iceberg's alertness will not be too low, so I will use the engine of your warship to create a chance to meet Iceberg."

Crane also added at this time: "The engine of your warship represents the highest technological level of the world government. I don't think any shipbuilder will refuse the opportunity to observe it."

"iceberg?"

Contrary to Zhan Guo and He's expectations, Skyler did not refuse or agree, but asked back with a bewildered expression. In an instant, Zhan Guo and He's back molars clenched in tacit understanding.

Good guy! And you didn't hear a word just now? !

Just when Warring States and Crane were about to lose their temper, Skyler finally remembered who Bingshan was, nodded quickly, and said, "I see, the one from the capital of seven waters, right? No problem.

These years have been in the New World, and I have paid less attention to the intelligence of the first half of the Great Channel, ahaha~"

"Lieutenant General Skyler has worked hard."

Just when Sengoku and Crane were about to reluctantly accept Skyler's sophistry (crossed out) explanation, Akainu said to Skyler very seriously, Skyler shook his head, and responded solemnly:

"Report to Admiral Akainu, serve justice, don't work hard."

"alright."

Crane interrupted the heroism of the two, and said, "Since you understand now, let's talk about it in a few days, and you take Nurkic with you."

Hearing this, Zhan Guo thought for a while and added: "If Nurkic is on leave, it's okay to let Rocinandi attend the meeting."

Although Warring States has no experience of accompanying pregnancy, he has comrades who have experienced it. Bastards like Karp would ask for leave to accompany their wives back then, and workaholics like Zefa would take time off to accompany their wives for the first time, so this should be very important.

Skyler nodded and said, "I understand, just let me know when the time comes."

Akainu felt that after talking about the business, he was about to say goodbye and return to his small table, but Sengoku waved his hand to signal him to stop, then poured wine for Akainu himself, and said:

"Akaken, I haven't had a good chat with you in these years. I am sure you can rest assured about your work. I only have a little suggestion."

As soon as he heard about the job, Akainu sat down immediately, then leaned his body, lowered his head slightly, and looked like he was listening carefully. Sengoku said very seriously:

"As a general, in addition to your strength and achievements, you also need to show your colleagues your other abilities, such as drinking!"

After finishing speaking, Akaken was a little puzzled, but Sengoku showed a smile, pushed the glass of wine in front of Akainu, and said, "Let the old man see and see, how much you can drink!"

Akainu doesn't understand, but isn't it just drinking? He picked up the wine and drank it straight down, Warring States gave him a thumbs up, and said: "As expected of a general in the headquarters, he has strong ability, good attitude, and a good drinker.

But it is still a little worse than the old man. When the old man was a general, he would not get drunk even after drinking this kind of wine all night! "

"Me too."

"Akainu, anyone can speak big words"

Before Sengoku finished speaking, Akainu reached out and picked up the bottle of wine, held his head up and drank it, Sengoku nodded appreciatively, and Crane also said:

"Drinking fast doesn't necessarily mean drinking more."

Crane's tone is always so leisurely, not in a hurry, but this kind of tone is the most able to provoke a violent mood, Akaken frowned, turned around and shouted: "Come! Serve the wine!"

The corner of Skyler's mouth twitched, and then she left with her own non-alcoholic fruit punch cocktail, so she wouldn't get involved in this kind of thing.

Going around again, Garp and Zefa are fighting wine, even Ace brought Yamato, Luffy and the others secretly mixed wine in the drink, Ain didn't finish the glass of fruit punch, but changed A glass of beer was served.

Walking around, only Luo, like her, did not choose to drink. As a doctor, Luo understands that there is no healthy intake of alcohol, and even a drop of alcohol will affect the body.

Of course, there is another reason, he was cheated by Skyler not long ago.

After drinking that day, although the body had almost volatilized the alcohol, but when he landed on the empty island, he was shaken in the air, so disgusting that he almost vomited, Luo didn't want to experience it again.

A group of people hi hi Pippi Arrived in the early morning of the next day, just as Skyler was about to leave, he saw the embarrassed look of the manager of the barbecue shop. Skyler looked back and was about to call Karp to pay the bill.

But he found that Garp had already fallen asleep on the deck, and Zefa, who was opposite him, was not much better.

It wasn't just these two people, Skyler realized that the people who were chatting and laughing five minutes ago were all staggering at this moment, and even the crane leaned on the back of the seat and closed its eyes.

Not to mention Ace, Yamato and those children who passed out drunk in the middle of the night. Looking around, they found that the only ones who were still awake were himself and Luo, who also didn't drink.

"."

Skyler was speechless, but at a time like this, you can't let Luo pay the bill, can you? Or are you throwing all these navies here? It seems feasible, but... it seems a little inhumane.

After a long silence, Skyler took out his wallet and said, "How much?"

When Skyler settled the bill and walked out of the barbecue shop with Luo, she suddenly felt a lot of breathing behind her, and when she looked back, they were all standing behind her, smiling.

"Ahahaha~ It's a treat for the old man, why did you pay the bill privately, Skyler? Forget it this time, don't do it next time! Ahaha~"

Cap laughed loudly, took a sip of the half bottle of wine he took from the store in his hand. Sengoku, Crane, and the others carried Ace, Luffy, Yamato, and Bonnie with smiles on their faces.

"Forget it, since they're all awake, let's take Ace and the others back first."

Skyler didn't want to worry too much. After all, he didn't sleep all night, so he didn't care about anything mentally. Everyone took a few steps towards the outside, but stopped in a tacit understanding.

Crane looked at the people around him and asked, "Where is the red dog?"

"Hoo hoo ~ hoo hoo ~"

In the barbecue restaurant, all the employees, including the manager, looked at the sleeping red dog lying on the booth, with a bit of embarrassment on their faces, and no one stepped forward to wake him up.

But his body occupies most of the table, and there are a lot of things that need to be cleaned up. Even if he sleeps here, it seems... not good?

Outside the barbecue shop, Sengoku, who took off his glasses and was wiping his glasses, heard the faint snoring of Akainu, and said, "Maybe he left first, Akainu just doesn't care about the etiquette of these details."

Knowing that Zhan Guo was talking nonsense, but no one questioned it, Skyler also smiled and said, "So that's the case, so I won't look for him."

After finishing speaking, Skyler took Luffy from Sengoku and said, "See you later."

"goodbye!"

Zhan Guo, He and others took a few recruits, and together with Zefa, they walked towards the recruit dormitory, while Skyler carried Luffy back home.

This time, Kuina did not attend the party because she said that she was going to invite other people to dinner. Skyler appreciated Kuina's social behavior that did not value status, and naturally did not refuse.

When Schuyler returned to the residence in Marlin Vanduo, Kuina was carrying breakfast and walking towards Schuyler's residence. Although Kuina, Luo and others were already at the school level, because they were not stationed at the headquarters, Therefore no application for residence was made.

When Guina came back occasionally, she could stay at Skyler's house, and Luo stayed at Rosindy's side.

"Morning, teacher."

Seeing Skyler, Kuina greeted immediately, but she soon smelled the smell of alcohol, and instinctively thought it was Skyler drinking, but after careful identification, it turned out that Luffy had drunk.

‘Drinking at such a young age? How to have a problem with Sauron? '

There was something in her mind, but Kuina still asked, "Do you need to prepare something for Luffy to sober up?"

"Need not."

Skyler, who walked into the small courtyard, threw Luffy down casually, and said, "If you do something wrong, you have to bear the consequences."

Seeing Luffy slowly spread out on the grass, Kuina didn't know what to say, and didn't dare to object to Skyler's decision, so she followed her in silently.

"Do you want to go back to the East China Sea? There are some warships going to the four seas today. If you want to go back, I can contact you."

Schuyler looked at Kuina, and there was some hesitation on Kuina's face. Two months after graduation, she also received two military salaries. Although the Zhanye Detachment happened to have no missions and no reward income during this period, they had saved a lot of money.

Even though he spent a lot of money on the dinner last night, he still has millions of Baileys on him now. This money is nothing in the Great Channel. Marin Fando has a better restaurant, and five or six people can get hundreds of thousands of Baileys for a meal. but

If it is in the East China Sea, and it is a remote place like Shuangyue Village, a million Baileys is indeed a huge sum of money. If you are well-dressed, you will naturally think about returning home.

"Teacher, do you want to go back to Donghai?"

Hearing Kuina's rhetorical question, Skyler raised his eyebrows, reached for the breakfast that Kuina brought back, and said, "I may have a meeting these days."

As Skyler was speaking, seeing Kuina lower her head a little bit, her words changed, and she said, "But I don't intend to participate."

Kuina was taken aback, and looked up at Skyler. Skyler put the bun in his mouth at this moment, reached out and took out his wallet with only a few Baileys left, and said vaguely, "Wait a minute."

After finishing speaking, Skyler got up and walked upstairs. After a while, he walked down again, put a stack of Baileys in front of Guina, and said:

"Go and buy some gifts to take home, oh yes, don't buy those perishable food."

"Ah? Teacher, I still have money."

Kuina quickly refused, but Skyler waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about it with me, just say you and I will give it together when the time comes."

After the words fell, Skyler walked back upstairs again. Kuina looked at Bailey on the table, hesitated for a moment, and said loudly to the upstairs: "Thank you, teacher!"

Skyler went upstairs to wash up, but Kuina hadn't come back when she went downstairs. She called to reserve two seats back to Donghai, then picked up Luffy and walked towards Garp's house.

Skyler's residence in Marlin Fandor used to belong to Dorag. I don't know why, but Dorag chose a place far away from Garp's residence. Skyler came back and forth, and it was almost noon. .

When she returned home, Kuina had already packed her bags, and Skyler saw this and said, "Let's go."

"Teacher, don't you need to bring a salute?"

Kuina asked suspiciously, Skyler waved his hand and said, "When we get to the port, I'll just go back to the warship and get it."

When they arrived at Crescent Harbor, there was only one warship left to go to the East China Sea. The other warships had already set off, and this warship was waiting for Skyler.

After quickly receiving the salute, Skyler and Guina embarked on a journey back to the East China Sea. The warship directly entered the East China Sea via the Red Earth Continent. Arrived at Frost Moon Village.

The docking of the warship attracted many villagers of Shuangyue Village. After all, there is no naval branch near Shuangyue Village, and warships are very rare. Just when the villagers were talking about it, the appearance of Kuina finally dispelled their doubts.

Kuina held and carried a lot of things, and greeted the villagers. When she turned her head, Skyler didn't know where she had gone. After chatting with the villagers, when she returned home, she realized that she The teacher and his father have already started drinking tea in the backyard.

"Guina?"

It was still early in the morning, and the dojo hadn't started classes yet, but Sauron, who lived here, had already started training. Seeing Kuina come in suddenly, he couldn't believe it.

"Hi! Sauron, long time no see!"

Kuina put down the things and showed a bright smile. Sauron looked at Kuina's smile and was a little dazed. Kuina also teased: "Zoro, why are you crying? Do you miss me so much? "

"ah?"

Surprised, Sauron hurriedly wiped his eyes, and even hit the bamboo sword he was biting in his mouth in a hurry. Sauron grinned in pain for a moment, but he still resisted the pain and touched his eyes, and there were no tears at all.

Sauron, who knew that he was cheated by Kuina, became excited instantly. Even though he was biting the bamboo sword, he shouted very clearly: "You lied to me! I didn't cry!"

"Hahaha~"

Kuina laughed. With such a relaxed and confident smile, Sauron felt that Kuina was not the Kuina he was familiar with, but ... he yearned for it even more.

He suddenly wanted to ask why Kuina changed so much, but when he opened his mouth, it was

"Guina! Let's start our 3001st duel! I have become stronger!"

Saying that, Sauron involuntarily ran towards Kuina. Kuina looked at the menacing Sauron, kicked her left foot, and her suitcase was kicked and hit the bamboo sword barrel beside her.

The barrel was impacted, and the bamboo sword in the barrel also shook, and one bamboo sword directly broke away from the barrel and was thrown towards Kuina. At this time, Sauron just came to Kuina and swung He took the bamboo sword in his hand.

"Ahhh~"

Sauron yelled, and Kuina's smile narrowed slightly, she raised her left hand, and just caught the flying bamboo sword in her hand, then placed it directly on her left waist, and put her right hand on the handle of the bamboo sword , In an instant, Kuina's momentum changed.

"Cassa cut!"

Holding the sword in his right hand, he hit Sauron's left hand. His left hand immediately twitched, and the bamboo sword fell out of his hand, but Sauron didn't care about the pain. What he cared about was the bamboo sword that Kuina had risen to the extreme and then began to chop down. .

At this time, Kuina had changed from one-handed sword to two-handed sword, and slashed downwards, but Sauron's left hand was in severe pain, unable to use force, so he could only block with one-handed right bamboo sword.

"Pa~"

The bamboo sword in Kuina's hand directly pressed down on the bamboo sword in Sauron's right hand and smashed directly on Sauron's face. The bamboo sword in Sauron's right hand and the bamboo sword in his mouth gradually fell off at this time.

"I won again."

Seeing Sauron squatting on the ground with a ferocious face and his hands constantly rubbing his face, Kuina smiled again.

But her smile quickly subsided, because she seemed to understand just now why her teacher always said that she always revealed her thoughts first, and then made a knife.

Kuina couldn't feel it when she was training by herself or when she was sparring with Skyler, but when she faced Sauron, a "clumsy" apprentice, she finally understood what it means to reveal her thoughts first and then make a knife.

Perhaps, in Schuyler's eyes, his own thoughts and actions are just like Sauron in his own eyes at this time? Or even more unbearable?

And compared to Sauron's blatant fighting style, practicing Iai seems to need to be more cautious about every time he draws his sword.

The question that had troubled Kuina for a long time was actually answered the moment Sauron was defeated.

"Zoro, thank you."

Kuina put down her feet, and stretched out her hand to Sauron who was squatting on the ground. Sauron raised his head, with a look of perplexity, why did Kuina thank herself?

But he still stretched out his hand and grabbed Kuina's hand, and Kuina also pulled Sauron up with a light force.

"Guina, you really have become stronger."

Sauron said seriously, but Kuina shook her head and said, "I'm still far away. When you go out, you will also understand how vast this sea is."

Sauron scratched his head, didn't understand, but soon smiled and asked, "Guina, after you come back this time, will you leave?"

"I'm only coming back for a few days."

"That's it"

Sauron lowered his head, a little disappointed, Kuina patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, as long as you still remember our agreement, but I won't wait for you on the sword path.

Only when you really catch up, can we go on together! "

"Um!"

Sauron nodded firmly, then seemed to remember something, and said, "I'll tell Master that you're back!"

"No."

Koshiro's gentle words came out, and the two looked, and there were already two figures standing at the gate leading to the backyard, it was Koshiro and Schuyler who had arrived earlier.

"Father."

Kuina walked up to Koshiro and saluted respectfully. Koshiro nodded and said, "It seems that your grandfather is right. The sea is the best way to temper a swordsman."

As a great swordsman, Koshiro could see Kuina's growth from the moment Kuina just made a move, but Koshiro didn't know how to praise someone more enthusiastically.

However, as Koshiro's daughter, Kuina knew enough about Koshiro, and she understood that what Koshiro said was already a rare compliment.

"Master, when can I go to sea?"

Sauron asked, seeing that the gap between Kuina and himself seemed to be widened again, which made Sauron a little anxious, seeing Sauron with a red mark on his face, who looked a little funny, Koshiro shook his head with a smile Shaking his head, he said:

"Zoro, it's not time for you to go to sea, train patiently."

Sauron nodded in disappointment. Although he felt that he was stronger than Kuina when he left Frostmoon Village, but he was defeated by Kuina just now, and he couldn't say that.

"I see."

"Teacher! Teacher!"

Suddenly, there was a hurried voice from outside the door of the dojo, and a boy who was younger than Sauron ran in and said eagerly:

"Outside! Outside! There is a flying island outside, heading towards the big ship that just left!"
