Chapter 453 The Old Age Without News [Triple in One]

"Lieutenant General Lawrence?!"

"Lieutenant General Mobley, long time no see, you are already a lieutenant general in a blink of an eye."

Just half a month after the new year, Lieutenant General Mobley, who had returned to work, saw someone he didn't expect, and that was Lieutenant General Law Welsh, who had been retired for more than 20 years.

Although time has changed and he didn't recognize it immediately, but no one can imitate Lawrence's temperament without the slightest anger. After recognizing it, Lieutenant General Mobley shouted in surprise.

After hearing Lawrence's response, Mobley was even more excited. As a navy in the logistics department, every individual in the logistics department is an existence that is extremely easy to be ignored.

Not to mention, when Lieutenant General Law Welsh retired, he was just a small lieutenant colonel in the department's detachment, and he only had contact with Law Welsh two or three times.

But after more than 20 years, Lieutenant General Lawrence still remembered him. He stepped forward to salute, and then asked, "Lieutenant General Lawrence, why are you free to come to the headquarters building today?"

"I'm coming to see my son."

A smile appeared on Law Welsh's old face, and Mobley glanced at the direction Law Welsh was facing just now, and asked, "Your son also joined the staff?"

Hearing this, Lawrence shook his head and said, "No, he is the adjutant of the Zhanye Detachment, and he came here this year to act as the Chief Staff Officer temporarily."

Mobley was a little stunned on the spot. When he heard Lawrence say no, he thought that maybe Lawrence's son was not qualified or talented, and he wanted to say a few words of relief.

But when he heard Lawrence say that his son is the adjutant of the Zhanye Detachment, who is now in Marlin Vandor, and he can be said to be the fog devil that every general knows, he wanted to praise a few more words.

As a result, Lawrence changed his mind at the end and directly said that his son was temporarily acting as the chief staff officer.

If it wasn't timid, Mobley really wanted to ask Lawrence if he had some dementia and couldn't remember things? Isn't the chief staff officer appointed by Lieutenant General He after you retired from the army?

Wrong interim

Mobley remembered that at the end of last year, Lieutenant General He had indeed approached him to complete the logistical supplies of her subordinate detachment. At that time, Mobley was still curious about how Lieutenant General He was going to replenish the logistical supplies of the detachment.

After all, when Lieutenant General He went back to his hometown a few years ago and blocked that Doflamingo for several months, he didn't make up for the supplies, but made do with it.

However, since the end of the year was approaching and he was busy with affairs, he didn't ask any more questions, but thinking about it now, maybe Lieutenant General He was out on the field again.

However, Lieutenant General He's ability is obvious to all. When besieging Doflamingo before, she was handling headquarters affairs while chasing Doflamingo.

It's really true that such a great staff officer who is so capable that he is out of the field, needs someone else to temporarily take over the duties of a staff officer because he is out of the field.

"Unbelievable."

Lieutenant General Mobley stood there for a long time before giving his own evaluation.

During this process, Lawrence watched Mobley's every move, word and deed, and the corners of his drooping mouth also raised upwards.

Every reaction of Mobley was accurately predicted by him. It seems that he is indeed not old enough to grow flowers and weeds.

"Okay, Lieutenant General Mobley, the old man is going to look for that useless son. When you have time in the future, you can come to the old man's house to accompany the old man. A young man like you needs to learn a lot, understand?"

Law Welsh said, and patted Mobley on the shoulder. Mobley, who was nearly 60 years old, didn't feel inappropriate because of Law Welsh's "younger" at this time, but nodded solemnly.

"Then I won't bother you, Lieutenant General Lawrence!"

Mobley also heard that Lawrence didn't want to chat with him for too long at this time, so he left with interest, but he remembered Lawrence's "invitation" in his heart.

After all, he was only fifty-eight years old. If Lawrence gave him some advice, he might be able to make another leap forward. He didn't even dare to think about his military rank, but it was still possible to transfer his position.

Lawrence also walked towards the office of the chief of staff again. He was very familiar with that office. Even if he started from the door of his own house, he could walk back to the office even if he covered his sight and didn't need to be domineering.

Although it has been more than 20 years, he still remembers every night of struggling in that office.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk ~"

When he came to the office of the Chief of Staff, Lawrence was about to open the door to enter, but his raised hand paused. After thinking for a second, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Nurkic's voice came from inside. Hearing his son's voice, Lawrence couldn't help laughing again, reached out and twisted the doorknob, and said, "Colonel Nurkic, are you free?"

"Ah?!!! Father!"

Nurkic, who was still familiar with his work, heard Lawrence's voice, stood up instantly, and stood upright. Lawrence waved his hand and said, "I just came to see."

"Look at me?"

Nurkic said a little unconfidently, and Lawrence shook his head and said, "No, it's just that I haven't been to this office for a long time, and I want to see what has changed."

With that said, Lawrence stepped in, walked slowly behind the desk, then hugged Nurkic, who was feeling a little lost, and said:

"Hahaha~ Of course I'm here to see you, I'm almost sick of seeing this office! Hahaha~"

Nurkic, who was suddenly hugged by his father, froze for a second, and then hugged his father forcefully. The father and son hugged for a while in the office, and then Lawrence patted Nurkic on the back. Back, said:

"Okay, let me go, you are too strong now, and my shoulders can't bear it."

Hearing this, Nurkic quickly let go of his father, and after the two separated, Lawrence also saw that Nurkic's eyelids and the sides of his nose were slightly red.

"Are you looking forward to this day? Approval from your father."

Lawrence said, leaning against the desk, and seemed to sit down. Seeing that Nurkic did not answer, he continued: "I have waited for a long time before, but the only thing I waited for was your grandfather's critical illness notice."

"I'm sorry, father, I"

Seeing his father talking about his grandfather, who was rarely mentioned, Nurkic subconsciously began to apologize, because in his memory, whenever his father mentioned his grandfather, he would cry, drink alcohol, and quarrel with his mother when he was drunk .

Seeing his son starting to apologize, Lawrence waved his hand. To be honest, he has not been able to let go of it until today.

Lawrence, who was sitting on the desk, twisted his waist with some difficulty, looked at the hill-like documents on the desk, and said, "Did you see it? This is the view of the sea.

Every move on the sea, or every plant, tree, sand and water that is about to change, is all on this. "

Nurkic nodded. He understood what his father was saying. Lawrence stood up, gave his son a little room to recover, walked around the office, and said:

"Did you know? The sentence I hear the most in this office is 'How does your navy do things?!' This sentence."

As he said that, Lawrence shook his head. After all, the years when he served as the chief staff officer could almost be said to be the darkest moment of the navy. Everyone was scolded and survived step by step.

Before Nurkic spoke to comfort his father, Law Wales said: "Although I know you won't be in this position for a long time, I hope you can hear some words that make you happy.

And it will be even better if you can sit in this position in the future. "

Fighting has never been what the Reed family is good at, but the offices of the general staff department, the Reed family has sat there all over the place. There is no way, the Reed family is very talented in this area.

Naturally, Lawrence hoped that his son could inherit this fine tradition, and also sit in this office to control the entire sea.

But Nurkic just smiled at this time and said: "Father, you know that I am the adjutant of the Zhanye Detachment, and I will only have one possibility to come back here in the future.

That is. To achieve the justice of the commander, I will not consider returning here until the sea does not require us to fight. "

There is only one possibility, either continue to fight until you are no longer useful and leave the army, or fight to the death, fight to the death, this is the justice that an adjutant should implement.

Unless his chief kicked himself away like Lieutenant General Karp kicked the young general Aokiji out of the detachment, but Nurkic didn't think his talent would allow Skyler to do such a thing.

After all, he is not young anymore. Half a month ago, he was 41 years old according to the conventional age cognition. Although he is still a few months away from 41 years old, he is not young anymore. After forty, there is no need to struggle.

He is no longer the young man who just served as the adjutant of the Zhanye Detachment sixteen years ago. He has spent almost his entire naval career with the Zhanye Detachment, and has already been tied up with the Zhanye Detachment.

If you want to get out of the Zhanye Detachment, then only your own chief announces the disbandment of the Zhanye Detachment, and on that day, if it exists, maybe it will be the time when justice shines on every inch of the territory? ·

Lawrence looked at his son quietly, looking at the expectation in his eyes. Although Nurkic's answer did not satisfy him, he still nodded with a smile.

"Everyone will have their own life, no matter your life is sweet or bitter, happy or sad, long or short, what kind of attitude you spend it, that is your life.

And this is my attitude and choice towards my children in my life. "

Law Wales said very seriously, and Nurkic nodded solemnly, but Law Wales suddenly showed a very familiar Nurkic smile, but appeared on his father's face, with a very strange smile.

It was a bastard smile like his own officer, Lieutenant General Garp, and Marshal of the Warring States Period. Lawrence who showed this smile suddenly said:

"Of course, if you want to do something wrong, or if you have to do something wrong, then after my death, I must not listen to those gossips."

But after speaking with a smile, Lawrence returned to his serious face. For a moment, Nurkic didn't know how to respond to his father. Was he just joking, or was he a serious answer?

Nurkic, who couldn't think of it, could only nod his head awkwardly. Seeing this, Lawrence narrowed his eyes.

Sure enough, there are some bad things that he must do in his son's heart.

However, it seems that in my own family, every generation has some things that must be done in their hearts, but all the ancestors have suppressed their thoughts.

Even Lawrence doubted in his heart whether the doomed fate that his father told him was true.

It seems that I have to find a time to talk to my son, Law Wales thought, he didn't want to be like his father, who waited until he was in the hospital and was dying, and then told the secret to the child.

But there is one more thing, that grandson of mine looks extremely smart, and such children tend to have the most bad ideas.

'Fortunately, I'm old, and I won't live many years, or I'll be bored to death. '

Lawrence shook his head and said, "You work hard, I'm going back. By the way, where is your officer?"

"She traveled with Lieutenant General Garp, and she has arrived in the Chambord Islands now?"

Nurkic replied.

Chambord Islands, island 13, Xia Qi's rip-off bar, because of the backlog of pirates, the bar has been busy for more than a year, but it is a rare leisure time at this time.

There are only two and a half customers in the store, and there are a few pirates who were not long-sighted and were knocked down by Garp. Among the two and a half customers, Skyler is one and Garp is the other.

And the remaining half is Rayleigh who doesn't give money.

"Rayleigh, you haven't paid for a drink for a long time, this is the last drink!"

Xia Qi looked at Lei Li, who was pouring wine across the bar, and said very dissatisfied. Lei Li pointed at Skyler directly and said, "It's all her, who ruined the slave auction house, and I have nowhere to make money now." Go, ask her for the bill!"

Even though there were two naval heroes sitting in the bar at this time, they were also legendary navy, Raleigh still looked like a ghost, not in awe, nor in a high position, just like before, like a casual bastard.

Skyler hadn't seen Rayleigh for years, in her own eyes, maybe fifteen years, and she had no memory of meeting Rayleigh since the end of the Just Crusade.

Now, Raleigh has become closer to the person in Skyler's initial impression. Fifteen years ago, his hair still had some blonde hair, and it was not as long as it is now.

Now Lei Li's hair is all white, long and curly. It's not the permed curly hair, but the dirty curly one.

But Lei Li and Xia Qi haven't seen Schuyler since fifteen years ago. Not to mention that they are published several times a year in Shijingbao, but even if they saw it with their own eyes, it is not so far away.

Nine years ago, under the Red Earth Continent, Rayleigh and Xia Qi met Skyler, but at that time Skyler was busy except for Fisher Tiger's question, so he didn't notice the two of them.

As for why Skyler didn't come to see Rayleigh, the reason is very simple, that is, the position is different. When he was still in the 26th team, Skyler's every move was not noticed.

But it was different after the expedition of justice. Everyone knew about Skyler. As the undoubted representative of the new generation of navy generals, Skyler's every move represented the future actions of the navy.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for her to come to see Lei Li, even if Lei Li has helped her and helped the Zhan Ye Detachment a lot, not to mention the year of the Justice Expedition, Lei Li helped the Zhan Ye Detachment to train and improve their strength.

In other words, if Leili hadn't captured sea beasts from the surrounding waters during that year, then Zhanye Detachment would have died in battle, and probably would have starved to death in a certain night due to the worthless extreme cold.

But out of standpoint, Skyler no longer came to see Rayleigh, and when he met the red-haired pirates for the second time, Skyler kept the red-haired pirates as repayment.

Of course, holding back from the red-haired pirates once is definitely not as kind as Rayleigh's help. Skyler also knows this. As far as he is concerned, it only benefits Shanks.

After all, only Shanks was once a member of the Roger Pirates like him, and the rest of the Red Hair Pirates were not.

And every man will have his own adventure, from the time when that bastard captain disbanded the Roger Pirates, they are just old acquaintances, not one.

Just like Shanks, if one day, Shanks dies at sea, then, for Rayleigh, the adventure of an old acquaintance is over.

This is the sea, she is vast, inclusive, and independent of each other.

Therefore, Skyler's kindness to the red-haired pirates is actually not important to Rayleigh, but he never thought about asking Skyler to repay the kindness.

After all, when I helped Skyler back then, I just wanted to see and try, to verify whether the bastard captain was just deceiving himself.

Skyler didn't know what Rayleigh was thinking, nor was he interested in knowing. Although Rayleigh was kind to her and the Zanye Detachment, this could not cover Rayleigh's past as a pirate.

She will repay such kindness at an appropriate and reasonable time, such as now.

Skyler directly put his wallet on the bar, and said, "Let him let go of drinking today, and he will drink to death in the end. In the future, this sea will reduce a potential scourge."

"Ahahaha~ You are indeed my daughter! She always pays for justice!"

Karp laughed, and Rayleigh laughed too, then gave up the glass and blew directly on the bottle.

There is no man in the sea who is afraid of drinking and drinking to death, drunk and dreaming, but many pirates pursue it. If I really have such a day and such an ending, then when future generations talk about their journey, they will appear even more legendary. Bar?

After drinking a bottle of wine, he didn't feel his thirst was quenched, but Lei Li still stopped. After all, he hadn't downed a whole bottle of wine in one breath for a long time, and his stomach still needed to get used to it.

He let out a hot breath, then looked at Garp, and said, "You just wanted to say, do you want to chat with those old guys? It's hard to find.

I also only know the traces of Kurokas, the old guy, according to Shanks, has returned to Twin Point.

Apart from him, I'm not sure about the others, Oden is dead, Barrett was captured by you, Momomushi and Inuarashi said they want to go back to their hometown, I don't know if they found it, and there are..."

As Raleigh spoke, he held up the lens with his right thumb and index finger, then rubbed his eyelids, and said, "Jabba, that guy, at this time... probably in the East China Sea, or at the end of the New World."

"East China Sea?"

Skyler raised a question, Raleigh took his hand off, nodded, and said, "That's right, that guy said he would guard the place where the captain died, but when they disbanded, he said that the captain died... there. "

After finishing speaking, Lei Li shook his head with a smile, his eyes were full of reminiscences of the past. Speaking of which, it was almost twenty years ago. Those guys on the boat back then, I don’t know how many are still alive now.

At this time, Karp sat in his seat, drinking wine without saying a word.

In fact, Karp is the same as Skyler. Both of them have ridiculed each other for having no friends before. Karp originally thought that he had these old acquaintances who had drawn swords before, but in the end they laughed it off and the hatred disappeared.

But now it seems that it is gone.

Seeing that Garp was silent, Raleigh took another bottle of wine, came back from behind the bar, sat next to Garp, and said, "I heard from Shanks that Ace might be the captain's son?"

"Um."

Garp straightened his back and nodded. There is nothing to deny. After all, the navy is half-disclosed, and it will come here one day. It's okay to tell Raleigh now.

Hearing this, Lei Li became as silent as Karp just now. He unscrewed the cork, took a sip, and said, "It seems that he was really seriously ill at the time, and he didn't think about it."

As he said that, he rubbed his eyelids with his fingers again. Perhaps no one would believe that the right arm of the king, the legendary Hades King Lei Li, would actually be a crybaby?

After hearing what he said, Skyler joked, "If you pay Astor to you, I'm afraid the auction of the son of One Piece will become a repertoire of the Chambord Islands, right?"

"ah?"

Rayleigh paused in sadness, and Garp, who was about to say something, was also taken aback.

"Ahahaha~"

"Hahaha~"

The two were extremely synchronized, hammering on the bar and laughing like two shrimps, curled up together, and their skin became flushed.

In an instant, the sad emotions in the bar disappeared, and there were only two characters whose youth had passed away but left legendary poems, smiling like five hundred.

"Click~"

The door of the bar was suddenly pushed open, and a small figure walked in, holding a lot of snacks in his hand, walking towards Kapuy Skyler, and said:

"Grandpa! Auntie! The people here are so strange that they don't charge money."

The person who came in was Luffy. Just after he came to Island 13, Skyler gave him some money and asked him to go shopping by himself. After all, a place like a bar is not suitable for a thirteen-year-old. Little Luffy.

And because many people saw that Luffy was brought by Skyler and Garp, no one dared to provoke him, and Garp and Skyler were both a little heartless, so naturally they didn't consider whether anyone would The problem with kidnapping Luffy.

After all, in the Chambord Islands, there are very few people who can be by Enilo's side and hurt Luffy.

After Luffy pushed the door and entered, Enilo, who finally put on his shirt, walked in with more snacks than Luffy. They don't charge money anyway, how about getting more?

At this time, Garp and Rayleigh also gradually calmed down their smiles, and Rayleigh looked towards the door. He wanted to see what the son of that man in Drago looked like.

But looking at the same thing, he was stunned.

That smile, that straw hat, for a moment, Rayleigh felt that he had returned to that afternoon.

"captain."
