Although the headquarters dispatched two Admirals, Kuzan and Sakazuki, but because Kaido appeared in Cake Island, Red Hair Pirates's whereabouts were even unknown. Gion did not dare to show any signs of neglect and immediately left the office, leading her Momousagi's Fleet in a hurry and heading straight to the port.
"Hey, it seems like something big is about to happen again. Even Gion is dispatched."
Loguetown Marine Base In the school yard, Doflamingo, who was sitting on the parallel bars, looked at the group of Gion who hurried downstairs not long after they went upstairs, grinned evilly, and then said, "Akira Why is Marshal so aggressive against East Blue? According to the information I know, East Blue does not have any powerful pirates, they are just minions!"
Crocodile narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "Gion Admiral is Akira Marshal's absolute confidant. If she can be dispatched at this time, either there is a problem in the headquarters, or it is New World!"
"Huh?" Doflamingo's pupils shrank, and his face instantly became serious, "Could it be--"
Crocodile glanced at Doflamingo, with a hint of ridicule in his words, "Donquixote Family members wouldn't let Akira Marshal send Gion Admiral, go back, don't forget that Gunko, Vice Admiral Tsuru, Garp and Knights of God are now in charge of the headquarters. How big a wave can just those in your family make?"
After saying that, Crocodile habitually wanted to take out a cigar and put it in his mouth, but found nothing. He glanced at Mihawk, who was standing next to him with Peerless Great Grade Sword on his back, slightly embarrassed.
It's not that he worships Mihawk, but that among the few who followed Akira, only Mihawk is the richest.
Mihawk seemed to know that Crocodile was looking at him. He turned his head and gave Crocodile a look to understand, then stood up and walked towards the office building, "Doflamingo, if war breaks out, I am very curious about what choice you will make!"
Before Doflamingo could react, Moonlight·Moria, who had been standing quietly by the side, suddenly grinned, "Hehehehehe, as long as we start a war with Kaido, I will definitely follow Akira Marshal."
Before he finished speaking, Moria also turned around and followed Mihawk into the office building.
Seeing this, Crocodile did not hesitate, dropped Doflamingo and followed closely.
At this moment, Smoker led a group of subordinates into the base, and under the gaze of Doflamingo, Crocodile walked towards the office building first.
Smelling the familiar smell of cigars in the air, Crocodile's eyes lit up. He immediately ignored his thoughts and shouted, "Smoker?"
"Huh?"
Smoker, who had just entered the office building, was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Crocodile, "Is something wrong?"
Crocodile didn't say anything, and walked straight to Smoker. Then, with Smoker's rapidly dilated pupils, he took out the cigarette case that Smoker had put in his chest pocket, took out a cigar and held it in his mouth. At the same time, he slurred. "Borrow me a light!"
"????"
Smoker had questions all over his head, and the two cigars in his mouth almost fell out.
But he soon regained his focus, took out a lighter from his bag and threw it to Crocodile, then simply turned around and complained, "When did Shichibukai become so poor?"
Crocodile pretended not to hear, took a long drag on the cigar and then narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.
Comfortable!
Since joining Marine Headquarters, he has lost the freedom of cigars. Perhaps only Smoker Smoker can understand that kind of suffering.
After a few puffs of cigars, Crocodile looked back at Doflamingo who was still on the campus, then straightened his coat and quickly followed Smoker towards the office.
Soon, four people, Mihawk, Moria, Smoker and Crocodile, came to the office where Akira was located.
Smoker ignored the three Shichibukai who walked into the office and sat down on the sofa. He quickly came to the opposite side of Akira, handed a report to Akira, raised his hand and saluted, and said somewhat unaccustomedly, "Akira Marshal, Smoker come and report!"
Akira glanced at Smoker's report and frowned slightly, "You just killed a pirate group? Captain Smoker, are you being negligent? Is it because you have no intention, or are you dissatisfied with my commander's order to kill the pirates?"
"None of them," Smoker rarely stood up straight, holding a cigar in his mouth and said loudly, "I apply for transfer from my current position, as long as it is not Four Blues, Paradise or New World!"
Hearing this, Akira nodded. "Oh, I understand, you feel that you are underestimating your talents by staying at East Blue!"
Before Smoker could react, Akira changed the topic and said, "You made a very wise choice when our headquarters mutiny. Based on this alone, I should really express my gratitude to you!"
"So, your application is approved!"
Unexpectedly, Akira agreed so simply. Smoker was stunned at first, and then said in disbelief, "Really?"
Applying to Akira at this time was not because he was dissatisfied with Akira, the Marshal who rose to power by launching a mutiny, but because Akira Because Colonel Stock personally went to East Blue and issued a series of Marshal orders, which made him recognize the young Marshal from the bottom of his heart.
It is precisely because of recognition that he does not want to waste his time on East Blue.
After this pirate hunt order, East Blue will definitely gain a long period of relative peace. Under such circumstances, it will be meaningless for him to stay in East Blue.
The most important thing is that Akira's attitude towards pirates is very clear. There will definitely be bigger moves next. He must seize this opportunity and make greater contributions to the justice of the navy.
"I never joke!"
Akira nodded, "You will leave immediately for New World G5 Branch, and you will serve as the base commander of G5 Branch."
"G5 Branch?" Smoker's pupils shrank slightly, "The base director there... is Vergo Vice Admiral. Did he... make any mistake?"
Akira smiled slightly and said lightly, "He is Corazon, the first generation of the Donquixote Family. Although now Doflamingo can't make any trouble with me, but at this critical moment, I hope that someone more trustworthy will be in charge of G5."
Hearing this, Smoker was stunned again, "Can you trust me? Can you... trust me? I haven't had much contact with you... in this headquarters over the years. I'm not really your confidant. Master Mutiny Time and Space has even spoken to me."
Akira took out a box of cigars from the drawer and stood up and walked out of the desk. He put it in Smoker's chest pocket and patted it gently. His warm smile remained the same, "I trust your justice!"
"I will not only transfer you to G5 as base commander, but also promote you to headquarters Rear Admiral."
Smoker glanced down at the cigar Akira gave him, and stammered, "Akira Marshal, I..."
It was not because Smoker was slurring his words with a cigar in his mouth, nor because Akira gave him a box of cigars to promote him to Rear Admiral and was flattered, but because Akira said "I trust your justice" that moved him.
You must know that during those years in the headquarters, he acted in his own way and refused to be restrained, which led to almost everyone in the headquarters ignoring the justice in his heart. The former Marshal Sora and the former Marshal Sengoku regarded him as a problem child, and finally threw him into East Blue, a sea area that is relatively peaceful compared to other sea areas. It is said to be an experience, but in fact, he does not have much hope for him!
"Why, when did our White Hunter become so coquettish?"
Akira returned to his desk and sat down, with a serious expression on his face. "Don't think it's a good thing for you to go to G5 Branch. The situation in New World is serious now. If you are not careful, G5 Branch may bear the brunt of the pirates' attack."
At this point, Akira suddenly changed the subject, "Smoker Rear Admiral, you can guard G5 Branch for me, right!?"
"Yes!"
Smoker seemed to have a conditioned reaction, and also seemed to have made some kind of determination. He raised his head and said firmly, "We are at the base!"
