"Mihawk?"
Akira was stunned and said in surprise, "He actually dared to come to the headquarters without a recruitment order!"
The colonel officer explained, "He said he was here to keep the appointment!"
Hearing this, Akira smiled and said, "I remembered, when I was trapped on an isolated island six years ago, he happened to pass by that island. Speaking of which, I still owe him a favor. If he hadn't happened to pass by, I wouldn't have joined the navy later."
Having said this, Akira waved to the colonel and said, "Go ahead and invite him here."
"Yes!"
The colonel saluted, then turned and ran out.
"Bang--"
As soon as the colonel officer turned around and ran out, the kitchen door was opened with great force. Immediately afterwards, a strong smell of oil smoke surged out, and soon Strawberry, Momonga and the hound ran out of the kitchen coughing violently.
"Master Akira, are you sure this is the hot pot base you want?"
The hound rushed out of the kitchen smelling of oil smoke and came to Akira first, excitedly saying, "This is too spicy!"
Strawberry and Momonga didn't even bother talking to Akira and ran straight to the yard to breathe in the fresh air.
"What, isn't it spicy enough?"
Akira looked up at the hound, and saw that his tears were being choked out. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Look at your ability. This is how hot pot is eaten in my hometown. If it's spicy, it's numb!"
"Okay~" The hound drooped his head and said slightly helplessly, "The base material is ready, what should we do next?"
Seeing the hound's reaction, Gion, who was sitting next to him, shook his head and smiled, saying, "Leave it to me next. You go to the yard to get some fresh air first."
"How can you breathe!"
Akira stood up and rolled up his sleeves, "Take the hot pot base to the yard, and whoever wants to eat can just throw it in there~"
With that said, Akira ran into the kitchen, picked up the vegetables and meat that had been prepared for the audience and walked towards the yard.
Seeing this, the hound did not dare to neglect and rushed to move the tables, chairs and benches.
Soon, all kinds of vegetables, meat, and fruits were brought to the yard. Smelling the smell of the hot pot base being boiled, Garp and Sengoku suddenly felt that the senbei in their hands no longer smelled good. They immediately sat down at the dining table, picked up their favorite vegetables and meat, and threw them into the pot.
As Sengoku, Garp and Zephyr sat down, Momonga, Strawberry and the hounds also gathered around the dining table.
Akira had just sat down next to Zephyr with bowls and chopsticks in hand, and Borsalino and Gion also came over.
Gion, who had just sat next to Akira, looked around and found that one Sakazuki was missing. She quickly turned her head and looked across the yard.
I saw Sakazuki standing in the yard, staring in the direction of the gate and pacing back and forth, with a slightly anxious expression.
"Sakazuki, stop pacing!"
Akira, who knew what Sakazuki was waiting for, said decisively, "If you're worried, just go over and have a look."
"No, no need~" Sakazuki, who saw through Akira's thoughts, turned back slightly stiffly, "I'll wait here, you guys eat first."
After saying that, Sakazuki walked around again, looking at the door from time to time.
At this moment, the familiar sound of a bicycle bell came. Immediately afterwards, Kuzan on a bicycle flashed out from the corner and headed straight for the courtyard gate at lightning speed.
"Kuzan!!!!!"
Seeing Kuzan coming back alone on his bicycle, Sakazuki rushed out of the courtyard without hesitation and said in a deep voice, "Where is my mother?"
Kuzan said nothing and turned around slowly.
On his back, an old man whose body has become little different from that of a child due to old age is hanging from a southeastern branch. One hand is around Kuzan's neck, and the other is grabbing a few bags of snacks. He is as happy as a child.
"Mother!"
Unexpectedly, my mother was actually hanging on Kuzan's back. Sakazuki was so frightened that she almost split on the spot. She yelled and quickly moved forward to take the old mother off Kuzan's back.
As soon as he hugged his old mother, Sakazuki raised his head and stared at Kuzan, "How can you let mother hang on your back? What if she falls?"
Kuzan looked helpless and explained, "I can't help it, the old man has to carry it on his back."
Hearing this, Sakazuki's tone instantly softened, and he said with some trepidation, "Thank you for your hard work."
Kuzan glanced at Sakazuki unexpectedly.
After so many years of working with Sakazuki, this was the first time he heard these words from Sakazuki's mouth.
Of course none of this matters.
The important thing is that since reuniting with his mother, Sakazuki seems to be a completely different person.
When I was Holy Land, I was like a mad dog, killing whoever I caught.
When he returned to the headquarters, especially in front of his mother, he actually saw something he had never seen before in Sakazuki's eyes - tenderness.
"Let's go, we haven't had dinner together for a long time."
After a short silence, Kuzan took the initiative to invite, "Shall we have a drink?"
At the same time.
Marine Headquarters, Mihawk, who walked into Marineford Square accompanied by a colonel officer, had the illusion that he was in the wrong place.
He still remembered the last time he came to the headquarters due to a recruitment order, and he felt a little depressed here.
In particular, the navy soldiers on duty stood lifelessly at their posts, pretending to be facing a powerful enemy even though the weather was bright and sunny.
The most important thing is that Marineford Plaza is usually almost empty and looks very deserted.
But at this time, the Marineford square was actually filled with tables neatly arranged, and densely packed naval soldiers and officers of all levels gathered around the tables filled with food, wine and meat. Various shouting and boiling sounds came one after another, and the sound of laughter and slapstick was even more continuous, making it lively and full of vitality.
Because I learned that Mihawk and Akira who had not yet become a navy six years ago After getting to know Marshal, the colonel officer who came to greet him no longer had any scruples and said proudly, "Today is Marine Headquarters's collective holiday. Lord Marshal asked all officers and soldiers to put down their work and set up a large banquet in the square. Both officers and soldiers as well as their family members and friends can participate!"
After a slight pause, the colonel officer suddenly stopped, looked back at Mihawk, and subconsciously blurted out, "Hawk Eyes, did you know the news and come here just to have a drink?"
"????"
Mihawk looked at the colonel officer with questions in his head. He is the world's number one swordsman. He needs to come to Marine Headquarters to eat and drink?
However, just when he was about to retort, his stomach suddenly growled unsatisfactorily.
"Ah haha, I knew it~" the colonel officer laughed and turned around, "Don't worry, Mr. Akira and the others are opening a small stove at home to eat hot pot. Since you and Mr. Akira are old acquaintances, with Mr. Akira's generosity, the red wine and beef will definitely be enough!"
Because his stomach was not up to par, Mihawk was too lazy to explain.
After following the colonel officer through Marineford Square, Mihawk soon discovered another phenomenon that made him incredible.
When he entered Marineford, many soldiers and officers showed fear because of his name World's Greatest Swordsman. Some even trembled because he came near, and many more did not even dare to look at him.
But as he walked along, Marineford, neither the soldiers nor officers in the square seemed to know him. They just glanced at him casually and started drinking and eating meat.
What's more, because he looked at it twice, he directly said "What are you looking at?" or "Hey, isn't this Dracule Mihawk?" and other remarks that did not take him seriously at all.
The colonel officer walking in front seemed to know what Mihawk was thinking, and explained again, "Don't get me wrong, Mihawk, they are not targeting you!"
"Don't say it's you, even if it's Five Elders, they are not afraid now."
"Let me tell you this, everyone in this headquarters is extremely eager to establish military exploits in return for Lord Marshal!"
"Especially those recruits who just glared at you. They dared to start trouble with Lord Marshal while they were still in the training period!"
