The Beautiful Swordsman Came with a Barbecue

"Sir, sir, here we are."

In the afternoon of the next day, the warship of the Zhanye Detachment returned to Marlin Vandor. Compared with the charging time, it took less than half of the time it was running back.

This morning, Nurkic also heard his own official mumbling something about "charging for two hours, talking for five minutes". Although Nurkic didn't understand, he was used to his own official talking.

There is no way to charge slowly. After all, it consumes too much energy to drive such a huge warship. At present, there are only three places that can achieve the "fast charge" that their own officials said.

One is Marlin Vandor, the other is the G-5 branch, and the last is the experimental base of Vegapunk. Only these three places are equipped with matching charging devices.

As for the capital of seven waters, although it is the best shipyard in the world, its engine has lagged behind by a lot. Even Bingshan is a little amazed at this kind of engine driven by all internal power.

Although the capital of seven waters has built some charging piles, they are for other ships that use engines as backup energy for escaping in some special sea areas.

Under normal circumstances, you only need to rely on sails or paddles to travel on the sea, so the energy reserve of the ship does not need much at all.

But the warships of the Zhanye Detachment were too big and heavy, and the oars were cancelled. If they only relied on sails, even if it was downwind, it would be pitifully slow. Therefore, for the warships of the Zhanye Detachment, the sails were only used to adjust the direction.

To drive such a large warship, the energy required is extremely terrifying. In addition to the energy transmission line of the small water pipe in the capital of seven waters, which is thinner than a faucet, it is not easy to rush so much in one night.

Skyler, who was taking a nap, was awakened, rubbed his head, straightened up, and found that the Zhanye detachment was slowly heading towards the harbor at an unprecedentedly slow speed.

The Zhanye detachment has never been so gentle before. When was it not drifting into storage? Those marines who were on duty at the harbor probably didn't know how many times they scolded the Zhanye Detachment in their hearts.

But today's speed is too slow, right? Nurkic seemed to be aware of Skyler's doubts, and explained: "Sir, the energy has just been exhausted, and now it is moving by inertia."

Hearing this, the corner of Skyler's mouth twitched. Isn't Nurkic too extreme? If you let him charge the warship to the point where he can return to Marin Fando, will he really charge it to the point where he can return to Marin Fando?

Leave no margin? Is this what normal people should do?

Nurkic was also a little embarrassed at this time. It is impossible for him to calculate so accurately. After all, a little bit of wind direction, wind volume, ocean current direction, and current speed will change the endurance time.

When he thought about it, he had already reserved some energy, but God knows, the engine was completely shut down as soon as he entered the Gate of Justice, so it was such a coincidence.

Skyler didn't want to say too much now, he stood up from his beach chair, walked to the fence, and waited to dock into the harbor. I have to say that it was so slow for the first time, but it made Skyler a little uncomfortable .

Also unsuitable, there are also those navies on the harbor who are ready to get wet. When will the Zhanye detachment not make trouble? Did the officers who didn't look at them step aside to avoid being splashed by the sea water?

It was the first time they saw such a "gentle" Zhanye detachment, but many people still guessed in their hearts that these were all illusions, and when they approached the harbor, the Zhanye detachment would already speed up.

When the warship of the Zhanye Detachment really approached the harbor, they thought again, when the warship of the Zhanye Detachment turned around, they would definitely turn on the engine on purpose to give them a sea bath.

But until the Zhanye detachment broke down, they did not welcome the physical baptism of the Zhanye detachment, which made them even more confused.

It wasn't until Nurkic got off the warship, started the handover, and used the charging pile, that they realized it belatedly. It seems that it wasn't that the Zhanye Detachment had reformed, but simply had no energy and couldn't do it. .

Skyler also got off the warship at this time, holding the gift forwarded by Dorag in his hand, and headed for the headquarters building.

At this time, Marin Vanduo was much more prosperous than it was during the war. Some merchants in the business district or family members of the navy had already returned to Marin Vanduo.

But compared with before the war, Marin Fanduo looked a bit embarrassed. There were scaffolding everywhere and the black omentum pulled up. Almost all buildings needed renovation and maintenance.

Even the headquarters building, which was always clean and white, was now surrounded by scaffolding. The bigger the building, the harder it is to repair the damaged structure, and the investigation work is also difficult.

Therefore, it is estimated that the headquarters building will maintain the status quo for a long time.

However, Skyler doesn't often work here, so he doesn't care what it looks like here. When he entered the headquarters building, Skyler went straight to the staff department, came to the door of Crane's office, and knocked on the door.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk ~"

In the office, Crane immediately put down the pen in his hand, looked out the door, with a dangerous smile on his face, and reminded himself once again that she had nine ways to make Skyler kneel down and beg for mercy, nine ways!

"Come in!"

Cultivating hatred in his heart again, He said to the outside, Skyler pushed the door in cautiously, not even daring to straighten his back, and walked to He's desk with a flattering smile.

He just wanted to say something, when Skyler put a box wrapped in kraft paper on her desk, He frowned, but relaxed quickly.

"This dead boy has a very good attitude of admitting his mistakes, at least much better than those two old guys."

Thinking of the two old guys, Sengoku and Karp, returning from the New World empty-handed, the anger against Skyler rekindled in Crane's heart could not help but be transferred to these two old guys.

"what is this?"

Crane asked with gestures, Skyler smiled, pushed the box forward, and said, "Sister Crane, you will know it by yourself."

Skyler didn't dare to tell He that the gift box was forwarded to her by Dorag, and she didn't even know what was in the box, only that it was a special product of Beihai.

If such words are said, then the gift-giving and apology will be self-defeating. She is not that stupid.

He didn't know why and felt more relieved to see Skyler actually playing mystery, so he was not in a hurry to worry about Skyler's fault, but took apart the kraft paper outside the box, revealing the wooden box inside.

Seeing the wooden box, Crane smiled slightly. This kind of wood is only grown in Beihai. Because of its low density, low hardness, and no conspicuous wood grain, it has no export value and is only circulated in Beihai.

She also roughly guessed what would be in the box. Sure enough, Skyler grew up, and what kind of gift can show sincerity when giving gifts and apologies.

Skyler saw Crane's smile, although he was a little puzzled, after all, what is there to be happy about in a wooden box? But this is a condition that is beneficial to her, and she did not ask aloud.

He looked at the box and found that the box was divided into two layers. She slowly pulled out the lower layer, which contained handmade soaps wrapped in oiled paper. They were not worth much, but it softened He's smile.

This is a handmade soap from a not-so-famous workshop in Beihai, and it is He's favorite handmade soap, but He hasn't used this kind of handmade soap for several years, after all, she hasn't been back for a long time.

Moreover, it is not easy for her to ask the local navy to purchase such cheap items that are difficult to find for herself, so she cannot be replenished. This is a very suitable gift for her.

But Crane is also a little puzzled, because she has never mentioned it to Skyler. The only possibility is that Skyler knew about it when she was still living in her house more than 20 years ago, and has been remembered until now.

Thinking of this, He's eyes became gentle, this kind of silent attention is indeed very touching.

Pushing this layer of handmade soap back, Crane twitched the small upper drawer, which was divided into grids, and each grid contained some candies, which were ugly.

Not only because it is handmade, but also because of the ugliness that melts slightly after a long journey in summer, but Crane's smile is extremely bright, after all, it is a specialty of her hometown.

Things were harder to find than those handmade soaps. Handmade soaps were still in circulation in several kingdoms, but such candies were only available in the small town where she lived when she was a child.

Crane casually took a licorice-flavored candy and put it into her mouth. This was the flavor she disliked the most when she was a child. Every time she bought candies, all that was left were licorice-flavored candies.

But I don't know why, after getting older, I fell in love with this feeling that can be sweet from the mouth to the throat, and then sweet to the lungs. The strange smell of licorice has now become a flavor worth appreciating.

It's like many people don't like to eat bitter melon when they are young, but at some point when they grow up, they can suddenly taste the taste of bitter melon.

Unknowingly, Crane stuffed three or four pieces of licorice candy into her mouth, and she didn't wake up until the smell of medicine appeared when she swallowed. go back.

After adjusting the position of the licorice candy in her mouth, she looked at Skyler and said with a smile: "Be careful, if you have nothing to do, go back and rest, after the war and cruise for so long, you must be very tired, right? "

Hearing Crane's gentle tone, just like when Skyler was a recruit in the naval training camp more than 20 years ago, Skyler himself was very surprised, and wondered if Drago had put ecstasy in the sugar up.

However, instinct still drove Skyler to leave, but as soon as he turned around, Skyler stopped, then turned around, and said to He: "Sister He, about the meeting"

"It's not your fault."

Crane waved his hand lightly, and said, "This is the work of the Warring States Period. It's the old guy who did it recklessly. It has nothing to do with you. Besides, didn't you ask Nurkic to report the matter?"

Crane's change of attitude still made Skyler a little hard to accept, but after thinking about it, she nodded and said, "Then I won't bother you, sister He."

After speaking, Skyler wanted to run away, but just as he turned around, Crane said, "Wait."

In an instant, cold sweat broke out on Skyler's forehead. He must have woken up, right? She has never left the great channel at all, which is easy for the crane to find out.

If the gift she gave He was not her own, the effect would be greatly reduced, but Skyler could only turn around at this time and wait for He's next words.

After she turned around, He pulled out the upper drawer again, took two licorice candies, handed them to Skyler, and said, "This is delicious, have you tried it?"

Skyler could only shake her head, because she knew exactly what she had given at the same time as the crane, so she couldn't have tasted what was inside.

Facing Crane's "reward", Skyler could only obediently reached out to take it, and then put two pieces of candy into his mouth under Crane's gentle and smiling gaze.

In an instant, an unconcealable strange smell exploded from his mouth, Skyler felt his nose was more transparent than ever, his head felt a little cold, and his throat and lungs felt sticky and tight again.

This was the weirdest candy Skyler had ever eaten. Skyler suddenly had a feeling that Crane wanted to punish himself for letting him eat this candy? !

But at this time, the crane's eyes are too gentle, and the kindness in it is difficult for Skyler to see from the crane, so she can only resist the idea of ​​spitting out the candy, nodded to the crane, and said :"very nice."

"Hahaha~ Don't pretend, I have never seen anyone who will fall in love with this candy for the first time, and it took decades for me to accept it slowly, and finally fell in love with this taste .”

Crane shook his head, then put the wooden box aside, and picked it up again to prepare for work, but saw Skyler still standing there as if punished, and said helplessly:

"Okay, you go back, don't hinder the old man's work."

"okay!"

Skyler just ran out of Crane's office, trying to find a place to spit out the licorice candy in his mouth, but he couldn't find the trash can after searching around.

At this time, the licorice candy was almost dissolved, Skyler stomped his feet cruelly, and swallowed the two pieces of candy, but the smell of medicine in his mouth could not be dispelled.

Skyler looked around and found that he had run to the floor where the yellow monkey's office was located, so he ran directly to the yellow monkey's office, but Skyler was not so polite to the yellow monkey, and just pushed the door open and entered.

The yellow ape who was trimming his nails was startled, and the light was also shining from him, as if he was ready to run, but he stopped glowing and heating when he saw that it was Skyler.

After Skyler came in, he didn't say a word to him, and ran directly to the reception area, sat on the sofa, and started to fetch water and boil water on his own.

Huang Yuan was a little confused, looked at Skyler, and then said, "Skyler-chan~ please come in~"

Hearing Huang Yuan's slightly dissatisfied ridicule, Skyler didn't care at all, waved his hand, and said, "What tea do you have?"

"The lightly roasted rock tea is on your right hand side, yes, that's the box."

Seeing Skyler violently rummaging through his tea leaves, the yellow ape was so frightened that his speech speed became faster, but fortunately, the box of tea leaves was placed conspicuously, and Skyler found it within a short time. .

Skyler opened it, took a look and smelled it, and said with a smile, "New tea again?"

"The greenness of the new tea is also a good flavor~"

Seeing that Skyler recognized the tea, the yellow ape also smiled, but when he said this with a wretched smile, it was hard to believe that the "new tea" he said was "new tea".

The advantage of lightly roasted rock tea is that you don’t need to care about the water temperature, whether it’s high temperature or low temperature, it won’t affect the final flavor too much.

So after Skyler waited for the water to boil, he just took the kettle away from the fire for half a minute and started brewing. The yellow monkey also stood up from his position, and slowly walked to the sofa opposite Skyler and sat down.

He raised his legs and waited for Skyler to bring him tea, but Skyler poured the brewed tea into a large sharing pot.

When the sharing pot was about to be filled, Skyler picked up the sharing pot and started to drink it, like an old cow drinking water, without the slightest thought of appreciating it.

"Hi~"

After drinking, Skyler burped, the taste of licorice in his mouth was not so obvious, at least acceptable, but the taste of licorice also spread instantly.

Huang Yuan pinched his nose with his hand, feeling very disgusted, fanned the wind with the other hand, and then said: "Licorice smell?"

Skyler nodded, and Huang Yuan rubbed his loose skin, and said, "Sweet taste enters the spleen~spleen deficiency can't tolerate sweet taste~ so the stomach is full. Thinking hurts the spleen, anger hurts the liver~Skyler sauce, you recently I'm very worried~"

Skyler asked with a look of surprise: "I didn't expect that, you still understand this?"

"Slightly understand~slightly understand~"

Huang Yuan looked calm, of course, he felt that he was calm, then pointed to Skyler, and said: "Continue to make tea, the old man will relieve your worries~"

Hearing this, the corner of Skyler's mouth twitched. She felt that Huang Yuan was too lazy to make tea by herself, but she didn't refuse. After all, she just drank Huang Yuan's tea and didn't leave a drop of it for Huang Yuan, so she was still a little bit sorry.

Anyway, there was nothing to do, so Skyler also obediently stayed in Huang Yuan's office, making him tea and chatting occasionally.

But I have to admit that the effect of the therapy this time is very good. When I left the yellow monkey's office, Skyler was in a much better mood. Of course, it might be the joy of drinking so much tea for nothing.

Originally, Skyler wanted to visit Sengoku and Garp, but it seemed that these two big figures who had taken an injury leave and left the headquarters had entered the medical department due to injuries.

Skyler had no intention of visiting them in the medical department, and it would not be too late to have a party after they recovered from their injuries.

However, when the two were discharged from the hospital a few days later, before Skyler had time to visit them, Warring States directly contacted him for a meeting, and made it clear that Skyler must attend, only by himself.

Such a request made Skyler extremely puzzled. After all, it has been a tradition for many years to bring Nurkic to the meeting. If Nurkic is not brought to the meeting, Zhan Guo really thinks that she will remember the content of the meeting?

And the location of the meeting is even more strange. It is not a meeting room, but the office of the Warring States Period.

Although he was puzzled and complained constantly, Skyler did not bring Nurkic. After all, the Warring States Period had clearly stated that she was only allowed to attend the meeting, and if Nurkic was brought, no one would look good.

When he came to the conference room of Zhan Guo, Skyler found that there were few people in the meeting, only Zhan Guo, Zefa, Karp, Crane, and himself?

Skyler couldn't help but look at the clock on the wall. He obviously stepped on it, but there were only these people. If Aokiji and Kizaru were late, Skyler could accept it, but how could Akainu be late?

Seeing Skyler looking around, Sengoku waved his hands and said, "It's just us."

Skyler walked in suspiciously, took the empty seat between Zefa and Karp, and looked at the tea table, but no one seemed to be making tea. Is this the attitude you should have when you come to a meeting?

So Skyler took the initiative and began to rummage on the coffee table. Warring States, who was just about to start the meeting, was interrupted by various tinkling sounds, and the veins on his forehead kept beating.

But when Skyler found a bag of tea and started to get water to boil, his dissatisfaction subsided in an instant. How could it be a beautiful thing to have tea without doing it yourself?

Different from the tea table set in Huang Yuan's office, the tea table in the Warring States Period is larger, so the water receiving station and the stove are integrated on the tea table, and other actions can be completed on the seat except for receiving water.

Skyler slowly started making tea, and the meeting that was supposed to start was delayed tacitly. Who would refuse to drink some tea to moisten their throat before speaking?

However, the good mood that Sengoku was looking forward to didn't last long, because the old bastard Karp also started to show his subjective initiative. Karp ran to the desk and found Sengoku's senbei.

After returning to his seat, Garp also "generously" distributed Sengoku's senbei to everyone. Sengoku took his own senbei from Garp, and the veins on his forehead appeared, and he jumped up quickly .

"Crack~click~"

But the others seemed to have no eyesight, even Zefa and Crane tore open the packaging of the senbei at this time and started to eat it.

After all, it was almost noon at this time, and this marshal was immoral. When the rebate was approaching, he actually called a meeting, which was simply oppressing his subordinates.

"Warring States, don't you eat?"

Just when Sengoku's face was full of black lines, Karp suddenly stretched out his long arms, wanting to snatch the senbei from Sengoku's hand, Sengoku made a dexterous half-turn, avoided Garp's claws, and said:

"Who said the old man won't eat?! Take your hand back!"

After the Warring States finished speaking, he also tore open the package of senbei and started to eat it.

"Crack~click~"

Crispy senbei, the taste is very good, and the sound is even more beautiful. When several people finish eating the senbei and feel a little thirsty, Schuyler will brew the tea that is suitable for the entrance and bring it to them. .

"Gulu~Gulu~"

Everyone had a look of joy on their faces. Sure enough, eating snacks and drinking tea without working was the happiest thing in the world.

But the happy time is always short. After drinking the tea, Zhan Guo said: "Okay, just order a little, and we will eat after the meeting."

"By the way, what's the meeting?"

Skyler asked, Sengoku looked at her and said, "The discussion about the next marshal candidate."
