The Beautiful Swordsman Came with a Barbecue

Skyler looked at Smoker who suddenly ran to her warship, and was a little puzzled. One thing she could rule out was that Smoker definitely didn't come here to smoke a cigarette.

Smoker isn't that courageous yet. If he had been so courageous, he would have long since lost the chance to be in the navy.

However, Smoker became even more dumb after experiencing this series of small things at this time. Skyler looked at him and asked, "You came to find me?"

Hearing this, Smoker nodded. He did come to look for Skyler. Smoker admitted this openly, and Skyler continued to ask: "What's the matter?"

"me."

Smoker became twitchy again, Skyler frowned slightly, but did not guide, after all, that is not something she would do, unless she is guiding someone to jump into a pit, otherwise she is really not that intellectual .

And Skyler is not in a hurry, so she can wait slowly for Smoker's answer. After struggling with his own thoughts for a while, Smoker said:

"Lieutenant General Skyler, you said before that if...if I want to become a general, you will write me a letter of recommendation."

"This incident, I thought it was a big deal. But with your performance today, plus your past achievements, even if you don't need my letter of recommendation, it's enough to be promoted to general, right?"

Skyler asked a little strangely. After all, Smoker's performance in the East China Sea over the years is obvious to all, and today's war has also proved that he has enough strength to serve as a general.

Therefore, Schuyler's recommendation letter can at most make him icing on the cake, and the process will go faster. It will not affect the judgment of He or Zhan Guo, so it is a bit of a loss to honor her favor at this time.

Smoker nodded. In fact, after the war ended today, Crane came to him and even made him an exception to participate in the general meeting after the war. This shows that the headquarters has already planned to promote him to general.

It's just that he came to fulfill this promise. Smoker looked at Skyler, took a deep breath, and said, "In fact, Lieutenant General Skyler, I'm here to ask you to send a letter of recommendation to Tina."

Tina was not qualified to participate in the general meeting after the war, which meant that she was not the one who could be recommended. This is actually quite normal, after all, Tina did not have any outstanding performances.

But as Tina's friend, Smoker knew how much effort and preparation Tina had made in order to become a general. Tina definitely has the ability to be a general. It's just that Tina, who has been in the second line, has not received attention.

And Tina has helped Smoker a lot, and he wants to do his best to help his friend, even if he is asked to come to Schuyler and change the candidate for the recommendation letter.

This is a very excessive thing, after all, Skyler offered to write him a letter of recommendation for Smoker, which was regarded as a kind of "favor", not an exchange.

In other words, the current Smoker is that ignorant kid who is picky and picky when accepting gifts. If he is not careful, he will offend Skyler, and even Tina will be disgusted.

But he really didn't want Tina to wait any longer, especially since Tina was the one who kept pulling him back to normal during his naval career. Without Tina, Smoker felt that he would have sunk long ago.

In Smoker's mind, Tina is more qualified to become a general than him, at least she shouldn't become a general later than him.

Skyler also looked at Smoker at this time. She understood why Smoker was so nervous. After thinking for a while, Skyler nodded and said, "Okay."

After speaking, Skyler nodded, and was about to turn around and leave, but Smoker froze in place. He never thought that Skyler would agree so easily.

He prepared a lot of words to persuade Skyler, and he even prepared a detailed account of everything Tina contributed to the navy in front of Skyler, but Skyler actually agreed now?

Smoker may not know that Skyler's recommendation letter is not a particularly precious thing in her own mind, or that she doesn't mind at all to recommend a navy who is qualified to become an admiral.

Because the general only represents a kind of recognition on the surface, not becoming a general does not mean that he is weak or has insufficient contribution to the navy.

If being promoted to general is the only way for every navy, then the captains of each squad of the Zhanye detachment must become generals, but sometimes, the navy needs them not to become generals.

Skyler understood this truth, and everyone in Zhan Ye's detachment also understood this truth, but Smoker had a hard time understanding it.

Of course, Schuyler would not feel that every navy needs to sacrifice their own personal future to the members of the Ye Zhan Detachment. She even kicked out young people like Luo and Ace who were willing to stay in the Ye Zan Ye Detachment. .

Because of becoming generals, these people played a role far beyond staying in the Zhanye detachment. At this time, it became the navy that needed them to become generals.

As for Tina, she came step by step. She didn't fit her own "sacrifice" system, and she aimed at generals. Therefore, such a navy has no problem becoming a general.

In addition, it is not so difficult for Skyler to recommend a navy general, although it is nominally a letter of recommendation written by her.

But when the time comes, just let Nurkic do it for him. Skyler’s seal as an officer is in Nurkic’s hands. Even if Skyler writes it himself, he has to go to Nurkic to stamp it. How troublesome.

It's better to just hand it over to Nurkic. Nurkic's written expression ability is much better than her.

Smoker stared blankly at Skyler leaving, and even forgot what to say. After a while, he seemed to realize something, with a happy smile on his face, and disappeared into a puff of smoke.

Skyler was half lying on the beach chair on the deck. She did not choose to go home to rest. In order to fight the war, the entire living area and town were emptied.

If she went home to sleep and woke up hungry and couldn't find anything to eat, instead of looking for something to eat hungry after waking up, she might as well rest directly on the warship.

Anyway, she has spent more than half of the past twenty years on a warship, and she has already adapted to this kind of life. If she returns to sleep on land, she will feel that the ground is shaking very badly.

This is the common distress of many people who live on board all year round. Others feel that the surroundings are shaking when they get on the boat, and the land is stable.

But people living on the boat are just the opposite. Their bodies have adapted to the shaking, and their bodies are unconsciously giving feedback to counteract the shaking.

Once back on the ground, the body will not be able to adjust for a while, and will continue to sway. This kind of situation where I can't move the enemy will make people feel shaking.

Of course, it only takes a few days for this symptom to subside, or when you encounter something that attracts enough attention, you will ignore this little detail, such as fighting.

Skyler was lying on the beach chair, squinting, while waiting for the hair to dry. In fact, a hair dryer is the best, because the hair dried by the sea breeze will have a sticky feeling.

But Skyler is too tired today, or in other words, there are too many information and emotions to digest.

In addition, the ice around Marin Fando is melting at this time, and with the sunset and evening wind, it is difficult for people to have the motivation to move, and lying down is the most comfortable thing.

Gradually, Skyler fell into a dream, which was a rare thing. Skyler himself forgot how long he had been able to dream while sleeping.

For this extremely rare dream, Skyler tried hard to remember everything, but the fact is that she couldn't remember anything, and even when she woke up, she could only clearly remember that she had a dream.

But she had no idea what dream she had, and couldn't recall it at all.

Skyler sat up straight and kept trying to recall what dream he had, but the harder he tried, the farther away that dream was from him, and even Skyler wondered if he had dreamed.

Stopping this useless work, Skyler looked around. It was obviously late at night, but it was not dark. The direction of Marin Fanduo was very bright. There seemed to be only one room with no lights turned on in the entire headquarters building.

The surrounding warships are also very bright, and some detachments are even having dinner together, but the Zhanye detachment is very calm. On the one hand, they have already had dinner, and on the other hand, everyone wants to rest.

It was easy for the navy to win this battle, but it didn't mean that everyone who participated in the war was easy. Even Skyler would feel tired, let alone others.

It was very quiet on the deck, which made Skyler very uncomfortable. She got up and looked around, only to see a figure still on the deck. Skyler walked over and asked, "Brook, aren't you sleeping?" ?”

Brooke was holding a mug with "Good Night" written on the outside, and it was still his favorite drink - milk.

Brooke took a sip of milk, and then said: "Sleep is to rest the muscles, internal organs and brain, but I don't have these things anymore."

Seeing that Brook could still tirelessly tell these skeleton jokes, Skyler smiled. Brook is a very special person, and it is difficult for people to have negative emotions when he is around.

This is not brought by his fruit ability, but his innate talent. He is born to be a person who spreads happiness, but even such a person will experience a lot of suffering and loneliness.

This kind of injustice of fate exists, and it can even be said to be common.

Brook turned his head slowly, facing Skyler, and after a while, he said, "Madam, don't you know what you should do next?"

Skyler nodded. To be honest, she was indeed at a loss. In the past twenty years, she had been working hard for a goal, but today, the goal was executed by her.

When a person has a goal, he is full of motivation every day. The goal can be big or small, as big as the stars and the sea, or as small as going downstairs for breakfast as early as possible.

But once there is no goal, people will fall into a state of "doubt". Maybe they know that they still have a lot of things to do, but they just can't get excited.

Skyler is like this now. Apart from killing Whitebeard, she still has a lot of things to do. As a navy, she should implement justice. As an admiral, she has the entire sea area of ​​the Whitebeard Pirates waiting for her to clear.

Even, "rebellious", as a comrade of Dorag, she has greater interests waiting for her to participate and contribute, but she just can't get excited.

And she will have doubts about these things, and she has been implementing justice for 20 years, but every year, the number of pirates she sees will not decrease.

Expansion of territory for the navy? The four seas and the first half of the great waterway are also within the jurisdiction of the navy, but those people in the waters under the jurisdiction of the navy may not be happy, and they can't even prevent some people from going out to sea to become pirates.

As for Dorag's ideals, the twenty kings who founded the world government also rebelled for the sake of the sea, but in the end, the world still became like this.

There was unconscious doubt in my heart about everything that should be done, which made Skyler feel unprecedentedly tired, and it was tired for no reason.

If this happened to someone else, the perfect adjective for Skyler would be hypocritical.

But this time it happened to her, and as an insider, she didn't understand it at all.

Brooke pondered for a while before saying: "Sometimes we don't need to think about what we have to do, and it is actually very difficult to live every day.

And if we can live every day well, maybe we will find the fun, no matter how bad it is, we can also make ourselves welcome the coming new day with a better attitude. "

"I don't know. I've forgotten how to have a good day."

As Skyler was talking, he ran his fingers through the hair and opened up the tangled hair that was half-dried, and then said, "Can you give me some practical advice, Brooke."

Brooke scratched the crack in his forehead with his hand, then said, "You can try music"

"pass."

Skyler waved her hand. She has no interest in music, she just likes those passionate tunes. For music itself, she neither loves nor has much appreciation.

The first suggestion was rejected, which made Brook a little distressed, and then he asked: "Madam, have you ever had any hobbies? Even if it was a long time ago?"

Skyler thought for a while and said: "I have many hobbies, such as various toys, such as finding a pile of sandpaper, just to polish something smooth, such as reading comics"

As she was talking, Skyler stopped, because for a moment, too many things that he was interested in but never put into her mind appeared in her mind. If she said all of them, maybe it would be dawn.

Brooke nodded and said, "Why don't you start all over again?"

"Playing with toys? It seems a bit inappropriate for me at this age?"

Skyler said jokingly, but Brooke shook his head and said, "If you want to use age to define what a person should do, then what I should do now is to die~"

"Hahaha~"

Skyler patted Brook's skeleton and laughed, then with a smile, looking at the light in the distance, he said, "I will try your way.

However, I remembered something I've always wanted to do, but never had the chance to do. "

"What is it?"

"Forging, that should be very interesting. Didn't you just say that you want to forge a new sword? Tomorrow we will go to the forge, and I will personally forge you a saber with the quality of a famous sword!"

Skyler was already smiling expectantly as he spoke. Brook heard this and looked at Skyler with some doubts.

After all, in his mind, blacksmithing is a means of earning a living, and few people would love a skill for earning a living, but maybe, music can also be a skill for earning a living, don’t you like it too?

Thinking of this, Brooke said: "I think this is very good. The collision of fire and iron must be a very interesting thing."

Skyler also nodded in approval, and said, "Then it's settled!"

When Schuyler said that, he had a confident expression on his face, and he even began to think in his heart, if he also served as the world's number one forging master, how should he deal with the balance with his current identity.

The next day, in a military forge in Marlin Vandor, Schuyler did not wear the cloak of justice, but had an extra cowhide apron and thick heat-insulating gloves on his hands.

In her right hand she held a giant hammer bigger than her own head, in her left hand she held large pliers, in front of the pliers.

Skyler looked at the severely delaminated iron banana held by the pliers, and fell into a long silence. She remembered that she took a square steel billet and started to heat and forge it.

The target shape is a long, flat and thin ceremonial sword shape. She even drew the basic outline on the anvil, but why... this piece of steel embryo will become like this?

At this time, the temperature in the forge was very high, but everyone in the forge, including the blacksmiths, Nurkic, and Brook, who had no skin, felt cold all over his body.

No one dared to speak, because they were all afraid of becoming the steel embryo, and even Nurkic felt that he would not survive three times when the giant hammer came down.

"clank~"

Suddenly, Skyler threw away the pliers and the steel blank in his hand, put the giant hammer on the anvil, and looked back at other people in the forge. Where Skyler's eyes passed, people couldn't even breathe. Dare to proceed.

"I haven't been here today, you all understand what I mean?"

As Skyler said, he took off the two heat-insulating gloves. Everyone in the forge, hearing Skyler's words, nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

Seeing that these people were so sensible, Skyler nodded in satisfaction, took off the cowhide apron, threw it on the hanger at the side, and then walked out of the forge as if nothing had happened.

Fortunately, it was early in the morning, and with yesterday's battle, not many people came out at all today, so no one saw what Skyler had done in the past hour.

However, Skyler, who had just walked out of the forge, didn't breathe a sigh of relief when a meatball ran towards him. Skyler looked over and looked at it for a long time before realizing that it was McKinsey.

Skyler blinked, thinking in his heart, is McKinsey's weight linked to his position and power? Why does McKinsey gain weight after every promotion?

At this time, McKenzie ran up to Schuyler in a daze, his hands reluctantly supported his knees, panting heavily, forced a smile, and said, "Lieutenant General Schuyler, good morning!"

"Don't stay with Marie Gioia anymore, what is Lin Fando doing here?"

Schuyler asked suspiciously, isn't McKinsey the human resources director next to Tianlong people? Moreover, even if you need to come to Marin Fando for work, you should go to the headquarters building. Why did you come to the forge?

Hearing Schuyler's question, McKenzie tried his best to adjust his breathing, and then said: "I came here with other officials, and it happened that I haven't reported to you about the recruiting you entrusted me before?

When I came over, I heard from the navy on your ship that you came to the forge early in the morning, is the saber broken? Do you want me to find the best knifesmith for you? Or find another famous knife for you? "

McKenzie was very enthusiastic, but Skyler's complexion darkened a little bit. The last thing she wanted to hear at this time was about the forge.

However, McKenzie was too tired to open his eyes at this time, and he failed to make use of his strengths in knowing people, and did not notice Skyler's gradually becoming more murderous at this time.

Fortunately, Nurkic and Brook followed up at this time. Nurkic looked at Brook. Brook, an old Jianghu, understood what Nurkic meant, so he nodded, and Nurkic explained:

"Colonel Brooke needs to build a saber. Our officer just came to participate and give some suggestions."

Hearing Nurkic's explanation, McKenzie nodded, and Skyler also nodded, and put away the murderous aura on his body. At this time, McKenzie's breath was almost adjusted, and he was finally able to straighten up and open his eyes.

Skyler also calmed down at this time. After all, McKinsey definitely didn't do it on purpose, and he didn't have the courage to do it on purpose. After calming down, Skyler asked McKinsey:

"It's better to find a place to talk about the matter I entrusted to you."

McKenzie nodded and said, "I've already sent someone to book a tea room. Let's go there now and it should be ready."

McKenzie is obviously good at "being a man", Skyler nodded, and then followed McKenzie's pace and walked towards a tea room, but after arriving, something more embarrassing happened.

The tea room didn't open the door, and the official of the world government looked a little embarrassed at this moment. McKenzie wanted to yell at him and teach him a lesson, but since Skyler was by his side, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

Skyler just now recalled that the town of Marlin Fandor has not recovered at all, so it is normal that no one is there, so she said: "Tell me on my warship, so as not to be heard by others."

"Yes, you are thoughtful."

McKenzie nodded quickly, and several people left the town of Marlin Vandor and returned to the warship. After Leon was asked to prepare tea and snacks, Skyler asked, "How is the situation?"

McKenzie looked around and found that a group of marines did not behave particularly abnormally. They seemed to have no interest in what they were talking about, and Skyler had no intention of hiding it.

Seeing this, McKinsey probably guessed that there is a high probability that there are no "others" on this warship, and they are all Skyler's own people, so he didn't hide it, and said directly:

"It just so happened that the former chief of CP0 was dismissed. Now that CP0 is under my temporary management, I decided to arrange them all into CP0. Lieutenant General Skyler, do you think a CP0 chief would be beneficial to you? help?"
