I, Kevin, joined the chat group

After hearing what Smoker said, Ling Xuan knew what this guy meant. Was he here to tease him?

"Bullshit, there's no such thing as good luck. If you say that, what can a colonel do?"

Hearing Ling Xuan's words, Den Den Mushi suddenly made a helpless expression.

"Forehead……"

Only then did Ling Xuan realize that he had made a slip of the tongue.

Indeed, if he, a major general, is just lucky, what about others?

If I had known his general rank, I would have known he was a senior general in the Navy Headquarters.

There are so many of them only in the Grand Line.

Everywhere in the world, management relies more on the presence of colonels.

It is difficult to find a general, which can be explained in this way.

177 hours

of course.

Vice Admiral Garp, the naval hero who often returns to the East China Sea, is not included.

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue."

After Ling Xuan understood the meaning of this, he hurriedly said.

"Humph!"

When Den Den Mushi heard Ling Xuan's words, it suddenly became arrogant.

"I'm just kidding, but I really didn't expect you to be so well hidden. You're actually a top-tier swordsman!"

"If I knew, I would definitely tell Mr. Zefa and would not let you take up a position in the G3 branch so soon."

Den Den Mushi started to sigh as it spoke.

There seemed to be a hint of self-blame in the voice.

"It's nothing, it's none of your business, Smoker."

Ling Xuan shook his head. This was the problem of those losers among the Five Elders.

How could Smoker be blamed?

Moreover.

Ling Xuan himself also felt that coming to the G3 branch to serve was a very good choice.

When you come here, you don't have to go through so many red tapes like at the Navy Headquarters.

He is the biggest in the entire G3 branch and doesn't need anyone's approval to do anything.

Why not do this?

Most importantly, he has learned the life return from the Six Styles of the Navy.

The three colors of domineering power have also been awakened.

Even two days ago, Ling Xuan himself had buffed his learning ability by a hundred times.

Ling Xuan once again raised the three-color domineering power from the low level to the intermediate level.

With these three good things happening at the same time, how could he feel wronged?

"I'm glad you can let it go. It's okay, though. With your exceptional talent, I believe you'll be even stronger soon!"

Den Den Mushi put on a comforting expression.

In the following conversation, Smoker may not have comforted anyone, and his comforting tone was so flat.

Ling Xuan even thought that Smoker was still teasing him.

"That's it, bye."

"goodbye!"

As Den Den Mushi's expression disappeared, the call was completed.

Ling Xuan shook his head, feeling that it was rare for Smoker to comfort others.

But the comfort was too low-level, so Ling Xuan didn't feel any comfort at all.

But this is Smoker, the Smoker who will do what he decides to do, no matter what the situation is.

the other side.

Rogue Town.

Smoker put down the Den Den Mushi in his hand, took the cigar out of his mouth and put it aside.

"A major general in his twenties, a top swordsman, is really an exaggeration."

Shaking his head, he looked at the Marine Branch soldiers below him.

Colonel Smoker was wondering if he should move his body as well.

Back to the Grand Line.

Instead of catching the petty thieves from all over the world here in Rogue Town?

After all, his position had only remained unchanged for two or three years since he was promoted to colonel.

Thinking of Ling Xuan, his friend, he has also been promoted to major general.

In order to avoid being left too far behind, should I move down?

"... Should we go to Ling Xuan's branch and fight?"

Colonel Smo (Qian Zhao) Ge had such an idea.

"forget it."

After thinking about it, Colonel Smoker gave up this sudden plan.

Why does it feel so awkward to be a subordinate under your friend?

Smoker couldn't bear this humiliation.

"I'm afraid I'll see less and less of Ling Xuan's back in the future, that top swordsman!"

This reminded Smoker of the day he met Ling Xuan.

It seems that not much time has passed, right?

178 Serious

No, it’s just that not much time has passed, less than half a year at most!

Thinking of this, Smoker looked helpless.

There was a "clang" sound.

The office door was pushed open and Lieutenant Dashiqi broke the door open.

"Colonel Smoker, did you just talk to Ling Xuan and the others on the phone?"

Dashigi looked at her boss with a hurried expression.

"Tashigi, if you keep going like this, my door will break sooner or later!"

When Smoker saw Tashigi, his trusted subordinate, his face showed helplessness.

"Forehead……"

"I will compensate you from my salary."

　870 Upon hearing her boss's words, Tashigi's short hair couldn't hide the redness of her ears.

"I really lost to you!"

"Take it!"

Smoker threw the Den Den Mushi on the table to Tashigi.

"This is their Den Den Mushi. Remember to return it to me after use!"

"Thank you, Colonel Smoker!"

Haiyuan calendar year 1519.

It's been less than a year since the spring when Luffy set out to sea in the original novel.

Ling Xuan is also making steady progress in his efforts.

"panel!"

System panel:

skill.

True·Iai Slash (bfdj)·Hunyuan Wuji

Moonlight Infinite Slash (Frost Moon Slash Mod)

Navy Six Styles (Advanced Life Return)

Three-color domineering (intermediate)

Look at the skill status on your own panel.

Ling Xuan felt very satisfied with this kind of life.

"Life return has reached an advanced level. I feel my lifespan has increased again, but this shouldn't be the final stage."

When Ling Xuan reached the advanced stage of life return, he not only felt the increase in lifespan but also the joy of his cells.

In addition, he also felt that there was room for improvement in the return of life.

However, he now seems to have reached a bottleneck with his learning ability increased a hundredfold.

Studying on my own seems to no longer satisfy the requirements for life return and advancement.

"Next time we go back to headquarters and talk to Vice Admiral Garp, Mr. Zephyr and the others, I guess they'll have some ideas by then."

"As for Haki, it has already reached the intermediate stage, but it seems to have also reached a state of stagnation."

Ling Xuan felt helpless when he thought that both of his skills had reached a bottleneck.

I originally thought that with my hundredfold learning ability, I could learn the secrets of these skills by myself.

"It seems that it is time to be quiet and think about action."

When studying was useless, Ling Xuan had already thought that it was time for him to take action.

Thinking of this, Ling Xuan fell into deep thought.

He needed to think about where he would move next.

And just as Ling Xuan was thinking.

At the watchtower of the G3 branch base.

A G3 branch naval soldier looked up at the sky and seemed to have discovered something shocking.

"Oh!"

A deafening splash of water began to rise, making the entire sea area nearby seem to be caught in a huge whirlpool.

"This is the watchtower, this is the watchtower, some huge rocks and dirt just fell from the sky!"

The naval soldier in the watchtower immediately picked up the walkie-talkie to report.

"Ok?"

The news was heard by the navy soldiers inside the walkie-talkie.

It was quickly transmitted to Colonel Glad's office.

"Is this the fifth time this month?"

"No, we have to report this to Major General Ling Xuan immediately."
