I, Kevin, joined the chat group

Hearing Ling Xuan's words, Smoker rolled his eyes. He certainly wouldn't believe that Ling Xuan did this just for this purpose.

How could it be possible that leaving the branch where he was stationed and coming to Sihai was for only this purpose?

"Hehe, it seems I still can't hide it from you."

Seeing Smoker's expression, Ling Xuan shook his head.

Then he looked at Smoker seriously and said:

“Smoker, do you want to come to my place? This Rogue Town probably doesn’t need you.

With your strength, the stage is the Grand Line."

Ling Xuan really didn't want to see Smoker fall into such a state.

A colonel who graduated from the headquarters' elite training camp.

It's such a waste in Rogue Town.

It’s better to just follow him.

Regardless of how much contribution I will make at that time, it will be much better than staying here, right?

As for after Smoker leaves Rogue Town, will there be such a Rogue Town plot after the Straw Hat Pirates go out to sea next year?

That has nothing to do with 870 Lingxuan.

If he had come into this world, it would have been impossible for the original work to happen in such a complete way.

If that's the case, then why would he still be a sailor?

It would be better to just board the Straw Hat Pirates.

"This one……"

Hearing Ling Xuan's words, Smoker felt a little warm inside.

This is called returning a favor.

Although he came to Rogue Town voluntarily.

But isn't the reason Ling Xuan recruited me now to help me get out of this situation?

"Let me think it over..."

In the end, Smoker did not immediately agree to Ling Xuan.

From being relative friends, they suddenly became superiors and subordinates.

This Smoker isn't ready yet.

201 Events

Five days later.

Ling Xuan and Gui Na set out on their journey again.

"Goodbye, Sister Kuina."

On the dock, Tashigi looked at the departing warship and waved with tears in her eyes.

This made Colonel Smoker, who was smoking a cigar, look helpless.

"Okay, Dashigi, it's not a life-or-death separation, why are you so upset?"

Colonel Smoker said helplessly to Tashigi.

"..."

Tashigi listened to her colonel's words, tears streaming down her face as she still waved her hands, still ignoring him.

"Ugh."

"I'm afraid of you. When Ling Xuan comes back next time, I've already promised him that I'll be transferred to the G3 branch under his command."

He looked at his trusted subordinate as if he had lost his soul.

Colonel Smoker sighed and continued speaking to Tashigi.

"Ok?"

Hearing this sudden surprise.

The expression on Dashigi's face suddenly froze.

"Colonel Smoker, are you telling the truth?"

Tashigi came back to her senses, the tears on her face were gone, and now she looked extremely surprised.

"Would I lie? Let's go back to base!"

Colonel Smoker watched the warship go away until it could no longer be seen, then he left.

"That's great, Sister Kuina, we'll be able to meet soon, and..."

Not knowing what she was thinking about, the back of Dashiqi's ears turned slightly red.

"Colonel Smoker, wait for me."

Seeing that Colonel Smoker was almost out of sight, Tashigi hurried to catch up with him.

And the other side.

On the warship, Kuina looked at the Rogue Town Pier which was no longer visible.

The inner loss is already printed on her face. With her waist-length hair and such a beautiful face, how can I not feel pity for her?

This made the navy soldiers from the branch feel a sense of empathy.

"What's wrong? It's not like we're going to be separated forever, right?"

Seeing Guina's pitiful expression, Ling Xuan rubbed her head and said with a smile.

"Brother, can't we take sister Dashiqi back with us?"

Thinking about going home this time, I wish my sister Tashigi was with me.

Perhaps she could ask her father if it was possible that Tashigi's sister was really her real sister who was left behind?

"Fool, as Smoker's subordinate, how could she possibly leave with us?"

"Besides, we are not going back just to see Master this time. We have some things to deal with."

Ling Xuan spoke to Kuina in a gentle voice.

It is now the end of summer in the Haiyuan calendar year 1519.

In less than half a year, the world will enter an era of rampage.

With the Straw Hat Pirates' departure, the world will undergo rapid and earth-shaking changes.

Although Ling Xuan himself is not afraid of the future.

But now that I have reached this level of strength, I have to make some arrangements for my own.

After all, the biggest boss in this world is Im, who has lived for thousands of years.

After living for thousands of (Qian Zhao's) years, even a pig can become a pig demon.

Not to mention someone like Im.

Ling Xuan doesn't think that this kind of existence is a guy that can be dealt with very easily.

"…" Hmm? Anything else?"

Kuina felt a little strange when she heard what her senior brother said.

But she was very considerate and didn't ask too many questions.

Everyone has their own privacy.

She wouldn't ask Ling Xuan too many questions.

Branch 202

"Let's go in. The sea is starting to get rough and the wind is probably going to pick up soon."

Looking at the scene of impending storm in the distant sky.

Ling Xuan rubbed Guyina 6's head again and said gently.

"it is good."

Kuina's ears turned slightly red. Seeing her senior brother being so gentle, she didn't know what was going on, and her voice also became extremely gentle.

……

East China Sea.

"Gululu."

Ling Xuan was sitting in the office on the warship.

The Den Den Mushi on the table started ringing.

"Hello, who is this? I'm Ling Xuan."

After Ling Xuan answered the call, he spoke to the Den Den Mushi.

"I'm Zefa, you little brat!"

The Den Den Mushi instantly transformed into a figure wearing sunglasses and staring at Ling Xuan sternly.

"Um, Mr. Zefa, how come you have time to call me?"

When Ling Xuan heard that it was his own teacher Zefa, his face was a little surprised.

Is it because he hasn't called to say hello for a long time?

That shouldn't be the case. It's been less than half a year since he left the Naval Headquarters.

"Hmph!"

"You guys have done such a big thing.

Instead of telling me right away, I had to hear it from Garp and the others. What was going on?"

As soon as Zephyr said this, Den Den Mushi immediately looked questioning.

"Ok?"

Hearing that this was the case, Ling Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Teacher Zefa, this doesn't mean that I think everyone in the headquarters knows it, but it also means that you know it."

Facing the now somewhat childish teacher Zefa, Ling Xuan smiled.

"Hmph, don't do these dangerous things next time!

Not every time you are so lucky.”

Zefa's voice revealed concern.

"Got it, Mr. Zephyr."

What else could Ling Xuan do but to answer as he was told.

"But you did a great job this time. It really made me and the navy proud."

Den Den Mushi looked happy and relieved.

"That's what I should do."

Hearing what Teacher Zefa said, Ling Xuan answered with a serious expression on his face.

After the two of them exchanged some more words, the Den Den Mushi became quiet again.

"It seems that the capture of Golden Lion Shiki has really shocked the Marine Headquarters."

Thinking about the reward and publicity I just received from the headquarters.

Ling Xuan couldn't help but smile.

"Is he a candidate for the rank of Lieutenant General?"
