One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 115: Fire on the Mountain (Ask for Leave)
"Dragon, Borsalino, now I'm going to ask you a question."

After ending the call, Ross called Long and Borsalino, who were currently in a naval branch.

I had originally planned to take them back to the headquarters in two days, along with a new marine, but now it seems I have to go back to the East China Sea first.

Well, call Garp over by the way. If Roger is there, he will definitely agree.

In front, facing Ross's sudden question, Long and Borsalino nodded, indicating that there was no problem, and then they heard Ross ask:
"When a group of pirates stronger than you are lingering around your hometown, stronghold, base, etc., what measures will you take to protect it?
Of course, these pirates are relatively reasonable and will not do anything outrageous. They have a certain bottom line."

After that, Long and Borsalino rubbed their chins and began to think.

Borsalino was the first to answer:

"Should we just pretend we don't know each other? After all, based on what you said, Mr. Ross, as long as we don't do anything or interfere, nothing will happen, right?"

His answer was consistent with his personality. He would just treat it as if nothing had happened, without feeling the slightest bit of anxiety.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Borsalino is an orphan. He doesn't care about many things in the outside world and has no weaknesses.

Ross nodded, then shook his head and said calmly:
"Personally, this is the best solution, but as a future admiral, this answer is obviously unsatisfactory, Borsalino."

Then he looked at the dragon on the other side.

Long raised his head and said hesitantly:
"Should we try not to conflict with them, and then secretly call for support, so that the other party will have to be cautious even if they want to take action, right?
It would be best if we could live in peace, but we can't bet everything on the other side's behavior. At least we need to have a way to fight to the death or to check and balance each other."

Long’s idea is very simple. Pirates cannot be trusted, but it is better to avoid conflict if possible. After all, the first place to fight is on one’s own territory.

Ross smiled and nodded, praising:

“Yes, I have begun to think from the perspective of a leader.

I am very satisfied with this answer. If you have no one to rely on, then living in peace is the best option, because even if something happens you can just run away.

But your future personal status means that you cannot just care about yourself, you need to have a certain overall perspective, and I will give you an extra lesson on this later. "

Long and Borsalino looked at each other.

Did something happen? It should be, and it is related to the question asked by Teacher Ross.

The reason they came out was because of something discovered by Teacher Ross. After it was resolved, they began to wander around aimlessly, solving matters related to the navy in some branch bases.

For example, corruption.

This situation does not happen too often in G-level branches because they are not far from the headquarters and the garrison commander is often replaced.

But the situation is different in Sihai.

During these days, they visited two branch bases in turn and discovered no less than six cases, one of which even put a branch officer in jail.

"Since you have already made some guesses, I won't hide it from you. I received news from Yundao that the legendary pirate Roger from the New World is on my island, and the entire Roger Pirates Group is there!"

"what!"

"How terrible, Mr. Ross! This is not a trivial matter that can be taken lightly!"

After hearing Ross's answer, Long and Borsalino both showed nervousness and excitement.

The tension was of course due to the reputation of the Roger Pirates.

Borsalino didn't know about the God Valley incident, but he understood the value of the five words "Legendary Pirate"! The battle half a month ago was still vivid in his mind. He curiously asked Mr. Ross about his strength, but the answer he got was that he couldn't beat any legendary pirate.

Long was very simple. His father had fought with Roger before, and he even took himself with him in a chase battle in the West Sea. That scene was simply amazing!

The two of them chased him for more than ten days without closing their eyes. He couldn't hold on and fainted several times.

Fortunately, the two fought with great discretion, basically fighting directly in mid-air, but the scenes of splitting the sky were always imprinted in his mind.

The words "Shenbi" seem to still echo in my ears.

The excitement comes from the fact that they seem to be experiencing a tense and exciting "adventure" in person.

"Don't worry, I guessed a long time ago that Roger would land on my Cloud Island, so it is still controllable for now.

I believe that all words are not as good as personal experience. The best teacher is the eyes that witness it firsthand and the brain that works at high speed to seek the answer to the question. "

Ross's words were very calm, as if the matter was not so tense and urgent.

As the two men regained their composure, Ross told them his preliminary plans:
“Next, I will take the three of you to my Cloud Island, and contact Garp to take my ride on my ride along the way.

As for the remaining questions, you can ask me on the way and I will answer them one by one. Go back and pack your things first, we are going to get ready to leave."

"By the way, please inform the kid on Huoshao Mountain to remember to report to me at the Navy Headquarters."

As if he remembered something, Ross, who had already started dialing Garp's Den Den Mushi number, suddenly stopped and gave instructions to the two people who turned and left.

Huoshaoshan, a gentle boy who seems to always have a smile on his face, is very respectful to his elders.

Ross had met him by chance a day ago. At that time, he was just a small lieutenant in the branch. If the other person's face had not been too iconic and he had not been quite polite to him, he might not have noticed him.

As a lieutenant general who later carried out two demon-slaying orders, Ross planned to train him in advance.

Besides, who doesn't like a kid who respects his elders? Ross really likes him, and he's talented, so if he can teach him for a few more years, he'll be like finding a deputy for Sakaski.

The current Sakaski is not a complete hawk, and does not have the habit of killing everything like in the original work. It is a pretty good choice to make Huoshaoshan his adjutant.

"Okay Mr. Ross, I'll let him know. Do you need me to say hello to Uncle Zhan Guo?"

"I almost forgot, Long, thank you for reminding me. Please tell Zhan Guo that I am very optimistic about Huoshaoshan and want him to follow Sakaski to adjust his temperament."

"No problem, just leave it to me!"

Long said as he slowly left with Borsalino.

So, Ross started dialing Den Den Mushi again.

“Bru-bru-bru-bru…ding!”

"Hello, this is Vice Admiral Garp..."

　I caught a cold and had a fever after staying up late these days, so I really can't write the plot.

　　It's not that I can't think of it, but my brain hurts the more I write, and I can't keep writing. I have already listed the details of this line, and I can write it when I get up tomorrow morning.

　　Go to bed first, good night
