The Beautiful Swordsman Came with a Barbecue

"Colonel Guina, you have worked hard, are you not injured?"

New Year, the Navy in the New World does not have a holiday at this time. On the contrary, it is because many pirates drank alcohol on New Year's Eve, which caused some swelling. The detachment led by Stoloberg just experienced a battle with the pirates .

For Kuina, a seconded navy, Stoloberg treated her much more considerately than his own members. After the battle, he immediately ran over to greet her.

Guina was a little embarrassed. She looked at the bottle of drink that Stoloberg handed over, looked at her hands stained with dirt and blood, and didn't know what to do.

Stoloberg knows better than Kuina. Seeing this, he immediately unscrewed the bottle cap of the drink in his hand and handed it to Kuina again. Dirty hands will not affect drinking from the bottle at all, but it will definitely affect opening the bottle cap .

It was not easy for Kuina to refuse, so she took the drink and started to drink, but before she could take a sip of the drink, Stoloberg started to greet her again.

"Come on! Lord! Bring some water and clean it up for Colonel Guina, and take care of Colonel Guina's saber by the way!"

"Yes, sir!"

Not far away, a navy officer who was also a colonel hurried over with a bucket of clear water. As soon as Guina took a sip of the drink, Stoloberg took the bottle back.

Colonel Lord held a bucket, waiting to help Guina wash her hands, and Guina felt that things had become even more embarrassing.

She is not a nobleman, so there is really no need to be so polite to her, right? But Lord couldn't just hold the bucket like this, so although she was uncomfortable, Guina accepted Lord's kindness.

After washing his hands, Lord waited for Kuina to unload the Omiya Shengjing, and Stoloberg also said at the right time: "In this battle at sea, once the sword is stained with water and blood, and the sea wind erodes it, it is particularly easy to rust. , must be maintained frequently.”

"That. I can do it myself."

Kuina still declined. After all, she was already used to maintaining swords. When she was in Shuangyue Village, she often maintained those swords at home.

And after joining the Zhanye Detachment, the maintenance of the Skyler Saber was also handed over to her. Although the black knife will not rust, the handle, sheath, and equipment also need maintenance.

Therefore, Kuina can be regarded as a sword maintainer who thought she was born, but she suddenly changed from the role of helping others to maintain the sword to the role of letting others maintain the sword for herself, Kuina really couldn't express it.

Today is the first day she came to the Stollberg detachment. For more than half a month, he had been assisting in the implementation of the mission on the ghost spider's warship, and the ghost spider was more boring than Skyler, so Guina seamlessly Connected in.

But the Stoloberg detachment is another scene. Originally, Guina thought that as a general of the hawks, Stoloberg should also be the kind of general who is not good at expressing goodwill.

But the fact is that after coming to Stoloberg's detachment, Guina felt that she had entered the nanny experience center, and everyone from Stoloberg to others was extremely "considerate".

On the contrary, it made it very difficult for Kuina to get used to it. After all, in the Zhanye Detachment, there was no caring person, at most, someone like Yi Yi or Brooke.

Seeing that Guina didn't want to accept it, Stoloberg waved to Lord, and Lord left knowingly. Stoloberg looked at Guina who was still embarrassed, and said:

"Colonel Guina, if you feel uncomfortable, just say it."

"Lieutenant General Stoloberg, you don't need to pay too much attention to me, I'm just a navy."

Kuina, who mustered up her courage, said to Stoloberg, and Stoloberg patted her forehead when she heard the words, not caring about the dirt on her hands when she took the bottle just now, and smiled at Guy Na says:

"You don't need to be too embarrassed, not all navies are like your teacher, or rather, your teacher is a minority, and she was not like this before.

We were all in a detachment back then, and she was also a very interesting person, but what happened later made her have to hide her interesting side in front of many people.

Or, in fact, I can't tell whether she is hiding her funny side in front of most people, or she is deliberately pretending to be funny in front of a few people, so as not to worry others.

You have been by her side for several years, so you should know better than me what she is like now, but there is no doubt that she had to give up a lot of herself.

She didn't start like this, and that's not what you're supposed to learn, do you understand? "

Kuina nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Lieutenant General Stoloberg, were you also in the twenty-sixth detachment of General Yellow Ape?"

"Haha~ It seems that I still don't have a good reputation."

Seeing that Guina didn't understand her so well, Stoloberg laughed and teased her, but Guina took it seriously, and quickly explained: "That's not what I meant, sorry, Lieutenant General Stoloberg."

"It's okay, you're still too nervous." Stoloberg waved his hand and said, "I'm indeed from the 26th team, don't you think it's incredible?

And when your teacher entered the twenty-sixth detachment, I was still an adjutant in the detachment. General Huang Yuan started not to do missions at that time, so I can say with a cheeky face that I was the one who took your teacher through the recruiting process. period.

Looking back, I suddenly realized that twenty years have passed so quickly. The year your teacher was in the 26th team was the most painful year for me.

She caused trouble everywhere, spoke out loud, and dared to say some outrageous things in a place like Judicial Island. At that time, I often thought, if I didn't stare at your teacher for a second, then she would cause trouble.

It even caused a disaster that cut off the future of the entire detachment.

But she is also a person who can't be hated. At that time, because of catching pirates alive, we would get a little more rewards, so she caught them all alive.

She even urged the entire detachment to accompany her to carry out justice. Of course, it was her who took the initiative, and the rest of us enjoyed it.

In the year your teacher stayed in the twenty-sixth detachment, the number of missions completed by the detachment and the number of pirates captured were the same as in the usual three years. It can be said that everyone has obtained enough wealth.

I even got the chance to be promoted to a general because of my "merit" that year. Of course, General Huang Yuan knew all this well, so he didn't let me be promoted, but let me continue to sharpen two years.

At that time, I was thinking, the Navy will produce another one like Vice Admiral Cap.”

Stoloberry lowered his voice and said, "Lawless Navy Nova."

Hearing Stoloberg's words and slandering Lieutenant General Garp and her teacher at the same time, Guina suddenly smiled. This is almost impossible in the usual times, after all, she will subconsciously defend her teacher.

Stoloberg laughed himself, and then added: "What I talked to you today, you must not tell others. I still want to continue to serve the Navy."

Kuina nodded. Although she knew that Stoloberry was joking, she had gradually relaxed and started to cooperate with Stoloberry.

But Stoloberry quickly put away his smile and said, "At that time, no one would think that your teacher was boring, and no one would even think that she would become the ruthless Gray Lady today.

Do you know when things turned around? "

"Just Crusade?"

Kuina almost blurted out, after all, everyone knew that Skyler's growth boundary was the Crusade for Justice, but Stolberg shook his head.

There was a puzzled look on Kuina's face, and as Skyler's adjutant at the time, he was regarded as a superior, and Stoloberg knew very well the days before Skyler's real rise.

Stoloberg pursed his lips and said, "The first member of the Ye Zhan Detachment is named Cass. You won't find this name in the list of members of the Ye Zhan Detachment."

"I know the name"

Kuina frowned, and then said: "I saw him on the warship, but no one on the warship knew who he was."

"That's the first person to recognize the justice pursued by Skyler Gray of the navy. It's a pity that he didn't have time to graduate, and he didn't have time to join the Zhan Ye Detachment."

Speaking of this, Stoloberg sighed, and Kuina had already guessed what happened to the navy named Cass, so she stopped asking.

"In the navy, every general, and even every navy, has his own definition of justice in his heart, but only those navies who have been recognized will become generals.

And Cass was your teacher's initial motivation. After his accident, your teacher was very impatient and wanted others to recognize her justice, so that she went to a new world that she shouldn't go to at all.

But at that time, her justice was even imperfect, and she couldn't balance her own justice and strength. That expedition of justice was definitely a fatal blow to your teacher.

The price of justice is very vague, and it is impossible to define how much power is needed to carry justice, but for your teacher, it is the weight of 219 heroic spirits.

She gave up on herself, and she launched life-threatening attacks against the Whitebeard Pirates again and again, because as long as she died, this burden would not fall on her, but she survived after all.

So from that year on, she was not just Skyler Gray, living for her own justice and for those victims of justice who were willing to support her with their lives, which made her the current Schuyler Gray. Caleb Gray. "

Stoloberg wanted to reach out and pat Kuina, but just as he raised his hand, he found some dirt on his hand, retracted his hand, and continued:

"It's normal that you can't agree with her justice, because her justice is condensed by making mistakes along the way, making mistakes again and again, and adding mistakes to mistakes.

It is difficult for any sober and rational person to truly recognize her justice.

But the era needs justice like her, and this era also has no shortage of newcomers who are as crazy as her, or who hide a crazy heart. These people form the Zhanye Detachment.

No one's justice is completely correct, and there is no difference in the understanding of justice. It's just that your teacher is too good to make her justice so dazzling.

So you don't need to accept her justice, you can find the justice you really want. "

Guina pursed her lips, and then asked: "Lieutenant General Stoloberg, these are not just what you want to say to me, right?"

"Indeed, you are too "reasonable". Maybe even if she drives you away, you will think about the reasons behind it, so she will let you choose freely. She did ask me to talk to you about this."

Stoloberg admitted it generously. He looked at Kuina, his tone became serious, and said, "But next, this is what I want to say to you. The biggest difference between you and your teacher, It's just that you're not pure enough.

Your impurity will make you constantly doubt, doubt others, and doubt yourself even more. It's not that you don't know what you want, but you know that the justice you want also has shortcomings.

You can't go your own way to implement your own justice, and you don't even have the courage to admit the justice you know. "

Listening to Stoloberg's words, Kuina's face darkened, but she nodded in agreement.

She is not a blind self-confident person. Since she was a child, she has been prone to self-doubt, especially when she was a child. She was afraid to ask others questions since she was a child.

Even if it was her own father, unless her father asked first, she would not confide her inner confusion to others.

And every time she confides her confusion to her father, while his father answers her questions, he will blame himself for neglecting his daughter, which makes Kuina even more afraid to discuss herself in front of Koshiro.

When she grows up a little bit and starts to practice kendo with her father, she will fall into self-doubt that she cannot inherit the dojo left by her grandfather and father.

At that time, her father pointed out a path for her and gave her an idol, Skyler, so Kuina really wanted to be like Skyler, but after she really took the path of Skyler, She began to doubt whether this path was suitable for her.

She couldn't adapt to the real Skyler, because she thought it was crazy and extreme, but she couldn't find a more suitable path, so she kept living in Zhanye Detachment.

After thinking about it, this struggling and uncomfortable expression appeared on her face again. Stoloberry pointed to her face and said, "Look, you are like this again now."

Hearing this, Kuina showed a shameful expression, looked at Stoloberg, and asked, "Lieutenant General Stoloberg, is there a way to solve my situation?"

However, Kuina was prepared to have no answer. After all, this was a question of her own personality, but Stoloberg nodded and said, "It's very simple."

"ah?"

Kuina was a little surprised. After all, she had been in this situation for more than a day or two, but in the Zhanye Detachment, no one had ever told her that there was a solution.

Seeing Kuina's surprised look, Stoloberg also showed a relaxed smile, and said: "You can't solve your problems if you stay in the Zhanye Detachment, because those people are all fans of you. The madman of teacher justice.

Of course, this lunatic is not a derogatory term, as I said, this era needs such justice.

But this group of "lunatics", they are equally extreme, but also firm enough, so they can't learn to be flexible, can't learn to go backwards, and can't learn to turn.

You, and everyone in the Zhanye Detachment, have forgotten one thing, that is, justice can be tried.

Your teacher belongs to the kind of person who clearly has no way out, but still wants to forge a way out. However, such a general, even in the navy, is the only one.

When one path fails, it is actually possible to change another path. If you feel that justice is not suitable for you, you can adjust the justice in your heart, you can change it, you can try it. "

"But isn't the navy a person who sticks to justice?"

Guina asked, Stoloberg nodded, and said: "It is true that those who cannot uphold justice are of no value to the navy, but no one has ever said that the same justice must be upheld.

General Aokiji changed his own justice, Marshal Sengoku changed his own justice, I also changed the justice in my heart, it doesn’t affect anything, do you think General Aokiji or Marshal Sengoku can’t uphold justice? "

"this"

Kuina was speechless for a while, and Stoloberg saw this, and then continued: "Don't be afraid of making mistakes, just because you have never done wrong things, does not mean that you have been doing right things all the time, understand?"

There was too much information in her heart that couldn't be digested in a short time, and Kuina didn't know how to give the correct answer, but she still nodded thoughtfully,

"Okay, let's go back and rest. We have encountered more and more pirates recently, so we must be ready to fight at any time."

As Stoloberg said, she resumed her previous caring uncle appearance. Guina nodded and smiled, looked up at Stoloberg, and said:

"Lieutenant General Stolberg, you are so smart, no wonder the teacher keeps saying that your big head is not for display."

After finishing speaking, Kuina ran away in a hurry. This was the first time she "made a mistake". Stoloberg was also stunned when she heard Kuina's words that were completely inconsistent with her usual appearance.

After a while, he also laughed, feeling in his heart that Kuina's flexible learning, and feeling that Skyler really has the talent to turn anyone into a jerk.

He reached out and scratched his elongated head, but soon his face changed, and he forgot about the dirt on his hands again!

And from today onwards, Guina, who was temporarily seconded to Stoloberg's detachment, no longer insists on not making mistakes, although some willful behavior needs to be filled by Stoloberg.

But I don't know why, but Stoloberg feels extra adaptable, just like when he was young.

And the work of the navy taking over the Whitebeard sea area is also constantly advancing. When the daily report is sent back to the navy headquarters, the headquarters is a little surprised.

They still underestimated Skyler's deterrence to pirates, although as the navy advanced, the speed actually slowed down, because there would be more and more frequent engagements.

The Whitebeard Sea Area has been taken over by the navy for more than half, which means that the living space of these pirates who originally lived in the Whitebeard Sea Area has been compressed by half.

At the same time, Skyler's refusal to make a move also made them feel lucky again. As long as they defeat the navy, they might be able to occupy a piece of territory!

With such a mood, more and more pirates chose to fight the navy, but this time the navy sent a lineup that was too luxurious, a fleet with a higher specification than the Demon Slayer Order, and it was easy to deal with the pirates.

Although the pace will inevitably be slowed down, in less than four months, more than half of the Whitebeard Sea Territory has been taken over, which is something no one expected before.

In the meeting room, Zhan Guo looked at the report and said happily: "It seems that, as Garp guessed, Skyler may really take over the entire Whitebeard Sea Area within a year."

Seeing the silly look of the Warring States Period, the corners of the crane's mouth twitched, because the Admiral of the Navy was not only happy because of the navy's gains.

Just before the start of the meeting, she habitually came to the meeting room early, and heard Zhan Guo talking to herself there, as long as Skyler was fast enough, he could retire faster.

After all, the reply letter from the world government at that time was asking the Warring States to handle the post-war affairs well, and the most important and difficult point of the post-war affairs was to gnaw down the Whitebeard Sea Area.

He was originally prepared to spend two years fighting a protracted war, but Skyler is so upbeat, at least he can retire one year early, how unhappy is this.

However, the atmosphere in the meeting room at this time is a bit weird, because everyone knows that when the Whitebeard Sea Territory is taken over, the Warring States can retire, and the retirement of the Warring States means that the new Marshal will succeed.

At this time, Huang Yuan was cutting his nails leisurely. He was the most leisurely person in the conference room. If Garp was there, the two of them might still be able to compete, but Garp also returned to the New World after the New Year.

At this time, the red dog and the blue pheasant are staring at each other, after all, they both know that the biggest "obstacle" for them to become marshals is each other.

To become a Marshal means to outwit the opponent, and the faster Skyler is, the less time they have to prepare.

But the two of them didn't know that Zhan Guo, He, Skyler and other big pits were digging a big pit for them to jump into. The way they wanted to defeat each other was not by force.

After all, there seems to be no precedent for the position of admiral of the navy to be determined by a duel by force. After all, the admiral is the one who commands the entire navy, not just based on strength.

What is more important is the ability in civil governance and the control of naval personnel. If you don't have the ability to govern and cannot be recognized by other navies, then no matter how strong you are, you are not suitable to be a marshal.

Of course, there is another point, which is to obtain the approval of the world government.

Zhan Guo looked at the two people who were staring wide-eyed and small-eyed at this time, showing a smirk, and suddenly said: "Talk about the topic of the new marshal?"
