People in One Piece are so good-looking - Chapter 425

c421 ten years

,

In May of 1510, there was a heavy snowfall in Malinvando.

The temperature dropped by more than 20 degrees, the sky and the earth were completely white, the rime was foggy, and the cold wind was howling.

A group of marines on duty were patrolling along the Crescent Bay. After a long time, their hands and feet were inevitably cold from the cold.

“so cold……”

A thin recruit who had just been transferred to the headquarters rubbed his hands, exhaled a breath of hot air, and complained, “This year’s climate is too abnormal. In this season, it snows so heavily…”

As he said that, he subconsciously glanced at the strong sergeant captain in front of him, and couldn’t help but look envious, “Captain, are you really not cold at all? You don’t even have to wear a cotton-padded jacket. If I only wear this little thing like you, I would probably have to wear it.” Frozen to death here.”

“Hahaha, silly boy, I am from Beihai just like you. I have been used to it for a long time. Besides, with my physical fitness, how can I be affected by such a degree of cooling.”

The old sergeant lit a cigarette, patted his shoulder, smiled and encouraged, “So, Derek, I want you to work harder in your daily practice. As long as your strength can reach my level, this seemingly Bad weather is nothing.”

“Are you at your level?”

The skinny recruit named Drake scratched his head, “It feels so far away. Captain, you are so powerful. I don’t know if I can catch up in this life.”

“You’re not promising, can you have some ambition? At least you have to surpass your father, right?”

The old sergeant exhaled a puff of smoke, “My strength is nothing in this headquarters. I am not even qualified to participate in this war.”

“Eh???”

Derek’s eyes widened, “No, even you…”

“What do you think? Those who participated in the war this time are all the best among the best, and the lowest is a second lieutenant.” The old sergeant laughed dumbly and pointed to several warships parked in the distance, “Have you seen the row of warships over there? ?”

“That is……”

Derek looked along.

“They are all major branches, elites transferred in the past two days! They are from all over the world to the New World, and this is just the beginning.”

“Next, more and more elites from all over the world will rush to the headquarters, and this war will definitely be an unprecedented one!”

The old military officer became more and more excited as he talked, with a bright light shining in his eyes:

“The fate of the navy and pirates, as well as the direction of the world and the times, will be determined by this war!”

As if in response to his words, a harsh buzz came from the harbor broadcast, and then a sweet voice came from inside:

“Marinfando announced that two large standard warships of the G2 branch have arrived at the port, with a nuclear capacity of 2,300 people. Please complete the landing according to the schedule and go to the headquarters camp No. 23 to gather and report.”

“…Repeat, Marine Fando announced that two large standard warships of the G2 branch have arrived at the port, with a nuclear capacity of 2,300 people. Please follow the schedule and complete the landing, and then go to the headquarters camp No. 23 to gather and report.”

…

Looking far to the northeast, through the heavy snow, I could vaguely see the silhouettes of two white ships that were no less powerful than our standard warships, slowly heading this way.

“Ha, Mr. Kizaru is here!”

The old military officer was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became energetic, holding a cigarette in his mouth and turning his head cheerfully, “Mr. Kizaru is the strongest lieutenant general in the entire navy except Mr. Garp! Hey, boys, do you want to follow me?” Shall I go over and take a look?”

“of course yes!”

“Let’s go, Captain!”

The sailors behind him also became excited. Kizaru has been powerful in the sea for many years and has a great reputation. Although he is still a candidate for general, in the eyes of all the sailors of the headquarters, he is no different from a general.

It was a rare time to return to the headquarters. Many recruits in the patrol team had not seen this big boss yet, so they naturally wanted to go there to have a long experience and satisfy their inner admiration and curiosity.

Drake also forgot about the cold for a moment, quickened his pace and followed his colleagues to the northeastern shore.

After running a few steps, he suddenly found that the old sergeant seemed to have fallen behind. Looking back, the latter stopped at some point and was staring blankly at the southwest sky, with the cigarette from the corner of his mouth falling into the snow. Didn’t even notice it.

“What’s wrong, Captain?”

Derek was confused and couldn’t help but ask doubtfully, “Didn’t you say you wanted to take us to see Mr. Kizaru?”

“Going to see Mr. Kizaru?”

His voice woke up the old sergeant, who came back and grabbed Derek’s shoulders suddenly, his eyes shining with excitement that Derek had never seen before.

“Team…captain?”

Derek snorted. This was the first time he had seen the calm captain act so out of sorts.

“What are you doing, Mr. Kizaru! You’re joking, you don’t have time!”

The old sergeant pointed at the sky in the southwest, laughing almost like a roar, “There is lightning! Do you see it! Drake, there is blue lightning coming!”

“Do you know what that means!”

Lightning?

Blue lightning?

Derek was stunned for a moment. The next moment, he suddenly realized something, his eyes widened suddenly, and he looked up in disbelief: “You mean…”

“That’s right, Drake!”

“It’s Mr. Bailong. Mr. Bailong has finally returned to his headquarters!!”

…

Boom!

Rolling thunder quickly approached from a distance. Under the focus of countless eyes, a blue stream of light paused over the port of Marinevando, revealing Nosha’s figure.

“Marinfando…”

Nuo Xia looked at the majestic white fortress in front of him and suddenly smiled, “It’s been a long time since I’ve been back.”

He stretched out a palm and quietly watched the snowflakes flying in and out, falling on his palm, and then quickly melting away, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.

If I remember correctly, when he left the East China Sea for the first time and came to the headquarters to report, there happened to be such a heavy snow, right?

If you think about it carefully, exactly ten years have passed since that day.

“It’s been ten years.”

Nuo Xia sighed quietly.

A whole decade.

Turning back the time, all the memories from ten years ago seem to be as recent as yesterday, gradually overlapping perfectly with the snowy scene in front of me.

The only difference was that ten years ago, he was an unknown boy who came from a remote town in the East China Sea. When he set foot on the land of Marinefando, he looked up at the majestic headquarters fortress building, his eyes full of longing;

And ten years later, he is now the world-famous White Dragon, a strong man standing at the top of the world. In this fortress overlooking, there are countless senior officials of the Navy Headquarters who are eagerly looking forward to his return, and those who have already prepared General’s seat.

Suddenly there was a faint sound of commotion in his ears. Nuo Xia looked down following the sound, but it was the huge Marineland Square. More and more sailors discovered him. They were surprised and waving to the sky desperately. When they saw him looking at him, they all Standing at attention and saluting excitedly.

This is obviously just the beginning.

It can be expected that within a few hours at most, the news of Nosha’s return will spread throughout the entire Marineland, causing a stir.

Nuo Xia smiled and waved to the ground, then no longer stayed, and turned into a blue stream of light, shooting towards the headquarters fortress building.

…

On the top floor of the headquarters’ fortress building, the highest meeting was going on. When they felt Nuoxia’s aura and quickly approached from far to near, almost everyone glanced at each other subconsciously, and then they all stood up and left the table with excitement.

then.

When Nuo Xia stepped into the door of the conference room, she was faced with a crowded scene surrounded by familiar faces.

“Mr. Bailong!”

“Noxia! You guys are finally back!”

“Hahaha, you brat, I miss you so much, please let me hug you!”

…

“Hey hey hey, don’t be so exaggerated.”

With a casual push, Nuo Xia avoided Garp’s big hand that was just picking his nose. Then, under the old man’s resentful eyes, he looked around with a smile:

“Let me tell you, I’ve only been away for a few years. How come it’s like we haven’t seen each other for decades?”

“How dare you say that!”

Before he finished speaking, he got a kick on the butt, but Taotu appeared behind him at some point, his almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed, his gaze dangerous, “Hey, didn’t you say yesterday that you wouldn’t be able to come back until Monday? Why are you so early? How many days?”

“Of course it’s because I miss you so much, Brigadier.”

Nuo Xia casually kissed the little rabbit’s delicate cheek, and shrugged with a smile after leaving, “So I gave up all my rest time, running at full speed day and night, so that…”

“False your words and run the train.”

Taotu rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, “Go, go, what kind of occasion is this? It’s not disgusting for an old couple to talk about this.”

“Oh, then I’ll accompany Bellemere and Shia tonight, and you sleep with Nami and the others.”

“you dare!”

“Okay, take a seat now!”

Aoki pheasant hammered Nuo Xia’s shoulder, and laughed and cursed, “I ate enough dog food from both of you back at the headquarters. After a few years of quietness, you came back and fed me hard again, right?”

A group of people sat down again amidst laughter. Compared with three years ago, the most annoying Marshal Weir was kicked away. Several veteran lieutenant generals who were not pleased with Nuo Xia at the beginning have also retired and are still qualified now. It can be said that those who attended the Supreme Meeting were all close acquaintances of Nuo Xia.

Of course, there are a few new faces.

Just like…

“Ghost spider? Flying squirrel?” Nuo Xia noticed the two people in the corner and raised his eyebrows, “Not bad, you two have also been promoted to lieutenant general?”

“Yes, Mr. Nosha.”

The Flying Squirrel and the Ghost Spider nodded quickly, and then smiled at each other in a tacit understanding, obviously recalling the time when they were on the Thunder Eagle, following Nuo Xia’s expeditions.

It’s so nostalgic…

Without those years of training and Mr. Noxia’s guidance, they would not have been able to grow so fast and become the new generation of lieutenant generals at a rate far exceeding that of their peers.

“Okay, let’s get down to business.”

After it almost calmed down, Nuo Xia looked at Warring States on the main seat and said, “Let’s continue the topic just now. Where did you talk about it?”

The seat where he sat was the only empty seat in the front row of the entire conference room. It was obviously reserved by the headquarters by default, and it was on the right hand side of Warring States Period.

On the left side of Sengoku, opposite him, was Akainu.

The seats of Qing Pheasant, Gar Pu, He and others have to be queued at the back.

“You guys, you don’t like to be long-winded as always…”

Warring States laughed and shook his head, then sighed, his expression became serious, “Okay, let’s continue talking about business. As for the topic, we just talked about the preparations for this war. The major branches are already fully cooperating with the headquarters to recruit elites, but Seven On the other side of Wu Hai…”

“Not very cooperative?” Nuo Xia raised an eyebrow.

“……Um.”

Sengoku smiled bitterly and nodded.

——————————

Nine Snake Island, in the palace of Amazon Lily.

“The Navy Headquarters issued a summons to the Shichibukai?”

After listening to the report of a middle-aged female soldier, Grandma Zhe, who had just gotten up and was washing up, raised her head in surprise, “Why is it at this time?”

“Yes, mother-in-law.”

The middle-aged female warrior opposite had a wry smile on her face, “What should we do? Because there has been no news about Mr. Noxia in the newspaper for too long. Lord She Ji’s mood is getting worse and worse. These two days are the worst time. If you tell her about this, it’s almost impossible for her to agree…”

“Be confident and remove almost two words.”

Grandma Ze snorted and looked ugly, “That willful guy is usually difficult to persuade, let alone the navy adding fuel to the fire at a time like this…”

“But the Navy Headquarters has said that if Lady Snake Hime cannot arrive in time, she will be removed from the Shichibukai and put on a new bounty.”

The middle-aged female warrior’s face was full of sorrow, “If that happens, the safety of our Amazon Lily will be…”

If it had been more than ten years ago, due to the fact that Nine Snake Island is located in a windless zone, this pirate nation of all women would not have to worry about the threat from the Navy Headquarters.

But after the once-in-a-millennium genius Dr. Vegapunk invented the method of adding seastones to the bottom of naval warships, the natural barrier of the windless zone no longer had any effect in front of the navy.

The only thing that has allowed Amazon Lily to survive today is the position of the Empress in the Shichibukai. If it is deprived of it because of Hancock’s willfulness, the future of this country can be imagined.

“Although I don’t have much hope, I still have to give it a try…”

After thinking sadly for a long time, the mother-in-law sighed, left the table with a cane, and walked out the door:

“Remember to ask a few people to guard outside the palace window. If I am thrown out by Snake Lady, I must catch it. My old bones can’t stand a few twists and turns…”

A few minutes later.

With a scream, Grandma Ye’s body was thrown high like a kite with its string broken, and fell into the haystack:

“Where are the people! Why is there no one to pick me up?”

…

The Grand Line, an old castle somewhere.

“Shichibukai summoning order?”

Listening to the voice coming from the other end of the phone, Hawkeye frowned and remained silent.

“Yes, Mr. Mihawk.”

The person in charge of contact was a major general from the headquarters. He carefully considered his words and said, “Although we all know that with your personality, you don’t really like to get involved in this kind of thing, but this situation is different. The stakes are very important. You must have to……”

“Has Mr. Nosha returned to headquarters?”

Mihawk spoke coldly, interrupting him.

“Not yet, but…”

Before the other party could finish speaking, Mihawk hung up the phone with a bang, shook his head and left the living room.

“boring.”

The dim light filtered in through the window lattice of the castle, dragging his back as he walked with his sword in the corridor for a long time.

Without Mr. Nosha, the naval headquarters would be worthy of letting him travel thousands of miles to work for his life?

The epidemic is recurring, so I went home early to celebrate the New Year. I spent the whole day transferring on the high-speed rail. I felt dizzy. I didn’t get to the hotel until ten o’clock. I didn’t have time to check it after I finished writing. I guess there are a lot of typos. I will correct it tomorrow.

Good night everyone, please stay safe~
