Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 636 Smoker's Mission (22)

"Lieutenant General, are you looking for me?"

Not long after Coby left, Smoker, wearing an unbuttoned jacket, exposing his breasts, with a head of silver-white thorny hair, and looking more like a gang leader than a rear admiral, appeared at the gate of the courtyard, holding a cigar in his mouth.

The "cocky-comb" generals' separate courtyard is more importantly a symbol of status. People like Stornobeli, who rarely return to the headquarters, all have their own courtyard in this area.

This is the navy's recognition of their status and achievements, and it is not ostentatious, so the area is moderate and not extravagant.

After passing the gate is the courtyard, and behind the courtyard is the main house. The entire structure can be seen at a glance.

so.
As soon as Smoker finished speaking, he looked up and met the eyes of Zephyr, who had an angry face.

Smoker: “.”

Cool!

It was Ron who was looking for him. Smoker was so busy that he forgot that this was Zephyr's home.

"Smoker! Recite the Navy's uniform regulations for me!"

Zefa slammed the table and stood up, looking at the other person with a stern look.

Silently taking off the cigar, Smoker winked innocently at Ron.

You have something to talk to me about, right?
Then don't just stand there and watch the show!
"Ahem, teacher, I don't think this is the point right now."

"If it's not this, then what is it?!"

Before Ron could finish his words, Zephyr interrupted him angrily, then looked at Smoker, feeling very disappointed: "I thought letting you go to the East China Sea for a few years would help you control your bad temper, but looking at your current state, I already know the result."

"."

Don't judge a book by its cover, old man!
Don't you understand that a man should be separated for three days? !

Of course, Smoker didn't have the courage to say these words.

His bad temper is mainly directed at those officials and naval scums he dislikes. He will not forgive himself for continuing to do the same to veterans like Zefa who have sacrificed their lives for the navy.

Not to mention, he is also one of Zefa's disciples!

It's not just the relationship between an instructor and a student, but also the relationship of being accepted as a disciple, just like Ron.

Ron gave him a sympathetic look, then sat down and continued drinking.

Smoker, who was left behind and started to doubt his life, was scolded by Zefa without saying a word after entering the room.

It was like being possessed by Perona's negative ghost.

After a long while, Zefa, who had finished talking, said that he would stop here for today and talk again when he had time.

Ron took the opportunity to clear his throat and said, "Smoker, what did I want to see you for?!"

"."

"Enough is enough!"

Smoker's eyelids twitched wildly: "Did I come here just to get scolded?!"

No, I really forgot!
Ron had a serious expression on his face, wondering if he was affected by Sugar's Childlike Fun Fruit again.

Fortunately, Orrick did not abuse Sucrose's ability, Zefa raised his eyelids and reminded him.

"That Shichibukai"

"Yes! Jinbe!"

Ron suddenly realized something and clapped his hands.

Then he looked at Smoker and said, "It's like this. After learning the inside story of this war, 'Sea Knight' Jinbei, who was supposed to come to help in accordance with the Seven Warlords' Treaty, made some very tactless requests to the Five Elders."

"A very tactless request?"

Smoker was slightly stunned, then his expression became serious: "I understand."

"Sea Knight" Jinbei, this is not a strange name.

As the only fish-man among the "Seven Warlords of the Sea", Jinbei is famous in the Grand Line for his chivalrous spirit and heroic spirit.

If it weren't for the later appearance of "Renxia" and "Fujitora", he would be the only standard of "hero" on the sea.

However, Jinbei was actually no different from those radical fishmen who believed in "racial supremacy" at the beginning, just like the dragon who enslaved Nami's hometown, Kokoasi Village, and the surrounding villages, and was the boss of the dragon domain.

Under the influence of the "great hero" Fisher Tiger, Jinbei gradually let go of his hatred for humans and transformed into the hero he is today, serving as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and becoming the hub connecting fish-men and humans.

And during this period in between, when the Great Pirate Era was just beginning, Fishman Island owed Whitebeard a huge favor!

"Because he saved Fishman Island from the lawless zone, Jinbei admired Whitebeard very much. Even after becoming a Shichibukai, he secretly helped Whitebeard many times to repay his kindness."

Ron smoked two of his high-end cigars and handed them to Smoker, saying, "The government will never agree to the requests he made this time. I believe Jinbei is aware of this, but he is just trying desperately to express his attitude that he will not participate in the war against Whitebeard."

"The Five Elders were very angry about this and ordered us to arrest people. Marshal Zhan Guo gave me the task, so I asked you to come here."

So this is a task that has been passed down layer by layer? !
The corner of Smoker's mouth twitched, but then he raised it: "Jinbei? I've always wanted to fight a real master!"

Ever since he met Ron, Smoker has worked hard to improve himself. He believes that his strength is no weaker than those veteran figures, but he has never had the opportunity and has only a lot of skills.

现在
"No, it's precisely because we can't fight that I suggested Ron to hand the task over to you."

Zefa poured a bucket of cold water on him: "Given Jinpei's character, he did such a bad thing. He must have planned it in his mind. He used his life to protect the safety of Fishman Island, so that the Five Elders would not have an excuse to settle the score later."

"So this mission only requires you to go there once. I believe he will be imprisoned in Impel Down voluntarily."

"Didn't Ron want you to be the base commander of G11 so that you can support him? This mission is neither too important nor too easy, but since it was directly issued by the Five Elders, it's perfect for brushing up your resume."

Smoker: “.”

Give me back my passion!!!

After all this time it was just a staged task, and I was so excited!
Zefa seemed to know what he was thinking and sneered: "If there is a task that really needs to be done, do you think I would suggest that he give it to you?"

"Don't forget, your resume at the headquarters clearly states that you beat up your superiors twice out of thirteen sorties, and the losses caused by other items amount to tens of billions!"

Among the navy characters with positive images in the original work, Smoker's resume is definitely the ugliest, no doubt about it.

Disobedience is commonplace.

They chose to arrest someone forcefully even though they could have used intimidation or bribery.

When his superior had a problem with him, he beat him up. When his superior was in league with pirates, he beat him half to death.

Half dead = disabled!

It was such a "hopeless" Smoker that, despite being called "Zeff's disciple", he was still thrown into the "weakest sea" of the East China Sea, which was equivalent to exile to the frontier in ancient times.

Otherwise, if he just thinks he is a clean person and disdains to go to the East China Sea to be a free and easy wanderer and wanderer, it would be strange if Zefa didn't make clear arrangements for him!
Smoker looked horrified.

How could you remember such a trivial matter so clearly?!

"The Marshal is very busy. I am in dual command and I am also very busy. So, don't waste the opportunity, Smoker. Don't you want to enforce your own justice in the Navy? Then seize the opportunity and climb up!"

Ron reminded him calmly.

Outside the navy, he already has enough say, but within the navy, he doesn't have many of his own people.

But he won't be so hungry that he will eat anything.

If you want to be his helper, you can't be of low status.

Smoker heard this and nodded seriously.

"I see!"

A blacksmith must be strong himself. Without sufficient status, no one in the Navy will listen to him seriously.

"that is."

Suddenly, Smoker blew out a smoke ring and sneered, "In this case, the system of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is only in name only!"

First, there was Kuma's betrayal and Mihawk's fall, then Jinbe's violation of the treaty. Three out of the seven people are useless to the government, which is almost half.

Ron and Zefa looked at each other silently without responding.

In fact, there is not much meaning in existence anymore.

Everyone knows that this is a level that Smoker cannot reach, and Fujitora and Law are Ron's own people.

The Pirate Empress is far away in the Calm Belt. Apart from supplying domestic materials, she doesn't care about the turbulent sea at all. Old Cai from the West Sea said that they are the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but more of them are arms dealers directly connected with the government.

I just want to ask the Seven Warlords of the Sea, what's the point?
