Gaban looked at Rayleigh resentfully like a little daughter-in-law.
As if to say: You know how to trick me.
"Hahaha. Drink, drink."
Lin Qi took out two barrels of good wine from Storage Ring and placed them on the ground.
Rayleigh and Gaban picked up the big bowl and drank the whole bowl in one breath, saying with emotion, "This is the bar brewed by Crocus. I really miss it."
At the same time.
In a small town in Grand Line, almost all the residents of the town gathered towards the central duel field.
"Hey, brother, what happened?"
The merchant who had just arrived in the town didn't know what was going on, so he grabbed a man and asked.
"You don't know yet, but there is a cat who is going to have a duel with the famous local Gale Swordsman. Everyone has gone over to watch, so you should go too."
"Nani? Cat?"
The merchant wondered if he was still dreaming, so he raised his arm and took a bite.
Well, it hurts, it's not a dream.
"Is it a human who ate Cat-Cat Fruit?"
"Then I don't know. Don't hold me back. I'll be late and there won't be a seat..."
On the ring, a burly man stood opposite Tom, and there was a sea of people in the audience.
"Little Cat, it's too late for you to surrender now, prepare to be made into a canned cat!"
Suddenly challenged by a cat, Lu Zhui felt insulted.
There must be an extra dish of cat meat on tonight's menu!
Tom The top hat was held down so low that only half of his face was exposed in the shadow. He took a puff of cigarette and exhaled the smoke to form a line of large characters in the air.
[Someone will die today.]
"Fancy! Damn it!"
Tom's various weird behaviors have been mistaken for Devil Fruit User by Lu Zhui.
Don't take it lightly when facing Devil Fruit User.
Before the referee called start, Lu Zhui launched a surprise attack.
"How despicable!"
"The cat is in danger."
The spectators in the audience couldn't bear to watch and closed their eyes.
They could already imagine the sight of the cat splattered with blood.
But at this time, Tom on the stage had a smile on his lips, raised his hand, took off his hat and threw it away, and the Western sword in his hand turned into a Inazuma.
"Shua~"
The swords and lights intertwined, Tom was intact, but Lu Zhui's head rolled down.
Tom stretched out his hand to catch the fallen hat accurately, put it on his head, flicked his cloak, and strode away without any blood on his body.
A note followed Tom and landed on the body of Lu Zhui.
[The murderer, Swordsman Tom.]
"Instant kill!"
From today on, the residents of the town will firmly remember the name Tom.
Lin Qi bid farewell to Rayleigh Gaban and return to Marine Base.
"What?" Lin Qi stood in front of Fleet Admiral's Office and said in surprise, "You want to call me Admiral? I'm afraid my qualifications are not enough."
Sengoku held up his glasses and smiled, "It's a close call, but with the joint guarantee from Garp Zephyr and I, it's no problem."
He patted Lin Qi on the shoulder kindly, smiled and took out an appointment letter.
"From today on, you are Marine Admiral. Remember to think of a code name and tell me. The Navy will announce this news to the Entire World tomorrow."
When Lin Qi received the appointment letter, the first thing that came to his mind was rejection.
One is that he doesn't want to protect those idiots Celestial Dragons, and the other is that Admiral is too busy.
Except for Yellow Second Uncle, who had a fairly casual job where he could drink tea and cut his nails in the office, Akainu was almost exhausted outside.
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is a good thing to save Celestial Dragons.
Every once in a while, I kill someone who framed it for the pirates, so I give Points for nothing.
I believe that with the top-notch Life Return, he will definitely be able to achieve a seamless result. He will first transform into a pirate and kill a Celestial Dragons, and then Shanshan will arrive after transforming into his true form.
No more, no more than two times, and Celestial Dragons won't dare to let him protect him anymore.
When it comes to work, there are only so many projects, and all the dirty work is done by Akainu Aokiji. He, the idle Admiral, can just fish.
Sengoku You can't set up a new department just for him, right?
Lin Qi has considered the issue of the navy several times before.
If it weren't for the ease of recruiting Points in the Navy, and the convenience of Vice Admiral's identity, he might have quit the Navy to concentrate on developing Kingdom.
Now that he has the identity of Admiral, he has new ideas.
After all, the navy is World Government's dog. It is difficult to reach the sky if he wants to bite his master, and it is the same if he wants to escape from World Government's control.
At this point, even if Lin Qi ascends to the position of Fleet Admiral, it is enough.
There are too many World Government spies, errands, and wallflowers within the Navy.
But these people can't move. Just look at Sengoku's usual bitter face.
There was a call in the morning, and the call from Five Elders arrived in the afternoon.
Once the navy has the slightest sign of wanting to escape control, it will immediately be crushed to death by World Government.
You want to go against World Government, do you think there are many low-level navy soldiers who will fight against you for the sake of their families?
A rotten navy was not the navy he wanted.
Not to mention that it would take many years for Sengoku to retire. He couldn't afford to wait, and he didn't want to wait.
It's different now.
As we all know, Admiral has his own faction and subordinates.
Akainu is the big brother of Hawk Faction, and he has a group of Vice Admiral, Aokiji represents Dove Faction, and Kizaru is the neutral and flat faction.
These people all have factions. Is it okay for him to form a Slacking Faction?
Dangdang Admiral, everyone has a quota.
He can accumulate strength in the navy, and when the time comes, he can directly take away his confidants.
Resignation World Government You can't refuse it, right?
Just in time, these people can join his Kingdom navy and fill the vacancies at the top.
Thinking of this, Lin Qi is already eager to try it.
There are a lot of talented people in the Navy.
He even wanted to poach Zephyr.
Ahem... it's not like we can't leave a place for retired Sengoku.
"Thank you Marshal. I will definitely work hard and strive to shine in the navy!" Lin Qi happily accepted the order.
"Very good, I like you."
I don't know what's going on, but Sengoku is a little uncomfortable seeing this guy suddenly being so enthusiastic.
Come to Admiral's exclusive separate office.
Lin Qi sat down on the loose leather seat. Not to mention, it was quite comfortable. Admiral's room was just different.
"Admiral Lin Qi, this is your military uniform."
The navy put the clothes on the table respectfully and secretly looked at Lin Qi out of the corner of his eye.
When Logistics Department said that another Admiral appeared, she was shocked.
Seeing Lin Qi's appearance, the girl was immediately shocked and felt like a deer in her heart.
"So... so handsome."
"Thank you."
Lin Qi picked up Justice Cape on the table, put it behind him, and walked to the mirror.
The aesthetics of the navy uniform cannot be overemphasized, and it is really handsome.
"Hey, why is your face so red?"
Looking back, he noticed that the girl was blushing, and Lin Qi put his hand on the little sister's forehead.
"No fever either."
"No, it's okay, thank you Admiral Lin Qi."
The girl threw away Lin Qi's arm, covered her red face and ran away shyly.
"This... then Nizi is not a loli, right?"
What Lin Qi doesn't know is how lethal his Admiral identity and handsome appearance are to these little girls in the navy.
