I, a Celestial Dragon!

The next moment, everyone's legs felt numb, and then they stood up involuntarily.

Then, Gawain was the first to look at the guy who impressed him the most in the crowd.

“Von Clay, your image is indeed full of the style of the Kamabakka Kingdom.

Stay on the ship. The officer on the ship, Big Bear, is Ivankov's best friend. If there is a chance, I will let Big Bear take you to meet your idol."

"ha?!!"

Hearing this, Ben Sam fell to his knees.

"You, old man, actually even know about this to the person I admire the most. You... wuwuwu, from now on, I will want to die for you, my gentle master, every day..."

"Cough cough!!!"

Gawain quickly interrupted Von Clay. Of course, Gawain admired Von Clay very much for giving everything for his friend and saving Luffy's life three times.

But his style...

It's probably the greasy, long-faced Huang Xiaoming with a double chin and a face full of heavy auntie-style makeup...

In short, Gao Wen waved his hand heavily, signaling Xiao Feng to be quiet for a while.

Then, Gawain looked at the others.

"Daz Bonis, you are a determined warrior. From now on, follow your Mr. 0, Crocodile, and work hard.

I will see your efforts!"

"Mr. 3, Gal Dino, you are a young man with unlimited potential. If you work hard, you may be qualified to become the vice-chairman of the Four Emperors."

"Miss Valentine, you are much prettier than in the photo. Keep it up."

"And... Miss Iska!"

Having said that, Gawain looked at Iska with interest.

"I heard that you are Ace's friend, so... do you want to stay with Ace forever?"

Chapter 236 Don’t be surprised by changes

While Gawain was talking, the guys around him were already so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

As Von Clay curtseyed to Gawain, Miss Valentine couldn't help but rub her face.

Can even the Celestial Dragons appreciate the beauty of a lowly person like me?

Besides them, Mr. 3, who was specially mentioned by Gawain...

He had an Arabic number three on his head and opened his mouth in disbelief.

"I, I, I... I have the potential to become the vice-captain of a Four Emperors pirate group...?!!

Do I have the potential to be a royal vice-president?

Am I the Vice-President?

How is this possible? With my limited ability, don’t I know this myself?

How can I compare myself with Ben Beckman, Phoenix Marco, Charlotte Katakuri, and Flame Disaster Jinn...

Compared to them, I seem to be nothing..."

Gal Tino whispered in a daze, trying his best not to let Gawain hear him.

Because even if he didn't agree with Gawain's statement, he didn't dare to express his disapproval to the Celestial Dragons...

And at the same time, besides them.

Iska, who was mentioned by Gawain at the end, was completely frightened by Gawain’s words!

She just widened her eyes in disbelief and shouted to Gawain.

“Always…always stay with Ace?!

How could I possibly think that?

I don’t want to, I don’t want to at all, even if he is not a pirate anymore, I still have a job in the navy, I can’t stay here for too long…”

"You don't need to answer so many questions. You just need to answer whether you want to or not!"

Gawain interrupted Iska with a smile, then he put down the wine jug and continued speaking to Iska.

"You seem to have great potential. You are one of the best in the navy. You are already a second lieutenant at such a young age.

Therefore, you are indeed qualified to come to my ship and perform the same job as Ace.

As for your identity in the navy, you can think about Gion. She is still a candidate for admiral, and has always been on my ship, hasn't she?

So, give me your answer, do you want to stay with Ace?"

After he finished speaking, Gawain smiled and looked at Iska, and Iska...

At this moment, the only white spot on the young female lieutenant's face was where she had the Band-Aid on.

As for other parts of her body, her cheeks had already turned red uncontrollably.

At the same time, she lowered her head and tangled her hands together unconsciously.

Seeing the girl's shy look, Gao Wen smiled and waved his hand.

"Haha, it seems that asking you to make the decision is a bit difficult for you.

Indeed, some things are more appropriate when proposed by men.

Let me make a decision for Ace and for you.

No matter where you two will go in the future, at least today, you are already my backup crew member!"

After the words fell, Gawain turned to look at Robin. Facing Gawain's eyes, Robin spoke softly.

"About two minutes left, sir."

"Ah."

Gawain nodded, and then he stood up from the sofa.

Gawain patted Iska's shoulder and smiled.

"It's settled. From today on, you will change your uniform into the style of our Xuanniao Group.

I just want a young second lieutenant from the navy. Zhan Guo will not ignore my respect!

As for you and Ace, haha, just let you young people develop on your own. Whether it’s friends or something else, just be happy.

By the way, Ace is training with everyone at the training ground over there. After you finish your meal, go and have a chat with him!"

After he finished speaking, Gawain let go of the confused Iska, and then he spoke to everyone in the Baroque Workshop.

“As for you, just follow Crocodile and do what you need to do.

I have some research to do, so I won’t continue chatting with you guys.”

After he finished speaking, Gawain nodded to everyone. Then he sensed the location of Franky's laboratory in an instant, and the whole person turned into lightning and disappeared without a trace.

After Gao Wen left...

A group of agents from Baroque Works suddenly jumped up and down. At this moment, they felt like thieves who were about to rob a bank and were suddenly received personally by the leader of a chaebol.

The private criminal activities they were originally engaged in suddenly became officially authorized, high-profile heroic actions!

Besides Baroque Workshop...

Iska and her marines all stayed in Bengbu.

Who would have thought that they would be expelled from the navy just after getting on board? ! !

No, it might be a bit of an exaggeration to say them, after all, the only person Gawain asked to stay was Iska.

But Iska's subordinates were all old friends who had worked with Iska for a long time. If Iska stayed, could they drive the warship back to the naval headquarters by themselves?

While thinking, Iska's adjutant said to Iska.

"Sir...are we...are we being recruited now?

Although we have no right to reject Gao Wensheng, it seems a bit too sudden to be recruited by us, right? "

On the side, listening to the adjutant's words, Iska waved his hand unhappily.

"Listening to your words is like listening to your words. You are still so good at talking nonsense.

Even if it happens suddenly, so what? Do we have the ability to refuse?

I won’t say any more. You guys just enjoy lunch on the Xuanniao first. I... I’m going to have a good chat with my future colleagues.

I think, in this situation, I should have a good communication with him! "

Having said that, Iska waved goodbye to her adjutant, and then she walked excitedly towards Ace.

Now, she is looking forward to Ace's expression more and more!

On the side, Ace was being pinned to the ground by old man Rayleigh. Rayleigh was holding a scabbard covered in the color of armed forces, pressing against Ace's weak spot.

Then he yelled at Ace.

"Struggle, keep struggling, and feel the effect of Armament Haki on your body!

Don't just feel the pain, the key is to feel the effect of the Armament Haki on your elemental body!"

"What effect? ​​It hurts so much!

Old man, please be gentle, be gentle!!!"

Ace struggled desperately, and the feeling of having his soft spot pressed was really painful.

However, as Ace struggled desperately, his peripheral vision suddenly glanced to the side.

In his eyes, the female navy who was chasing him relentlessly actually walked towards him!

"Wait, old man, I think you're hallucinating me!

I saw someone who definitely shouldn't be there!

Old man, please let me go, or you will beat me to death."

"who?"

Hearing this, Rayleigh turned to look at Iska. When he saw that it was a girl about the same age as Ace, Rayleigh immediately smiled like an uncle.

"Haha, it turns out a friend is here!"

Having said that, Rayleigh gently lifted the scabbard and released Ace, who was fighting desperately.

At the same time, Rayleigh narrowed his eyes, raised his left hand, and made a lucky cat gesture to Iska.

"Hello, little girl from the navy, how did you get to this ship?"

"Hey?"

Hearing Rayleigh's greeting, Iska pursed his lips nervously.

"Pluto... Pluto Rayleigh!"

“Haha, yes, it’s me.

You haven't answered my question yet, little girl.

Did you follow Ace all the way here?"

Rayleigh said to Iska jokingly, and Iska nodded uneasily at his words.

“Well, in the past, I have been hunting down Ace.

But now, I have been recruited by Lord Gawain... to the Xuanniao. Lord Gawain said that I would be Ace's colleague, I..."

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Rayleigh immediately revealed a great smile, and he clapped his hands gently.

"Haha, it seems that the Iron Eagle Group already has a second person. What's your name, little girl?"

"Iska, Lieutenant Iska..."

Iska relaxed a little and spoke to Rayleigh in a normal tone.
