Rhodes looked at Ace's distant figure and sighed, "Is it all about to start?"

Colonel Adolf came over with a little sore stomach, and he said to Rhodes with some indignation, "Why didn't you stop him?"

Rhodes still stopped and watched Ace go away, ignoring Colonel Adolf. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Colonel Adolf, perhaps feeling gloomy, cursed a few words in a low voice, and planned to go to the cabin to get his phone bug to report all this to his superiors.

"Don't think about telling Navy Headquarters about this. Rhodes guessed Colonel Adolf's plan, "A naval ship, hundreds of soldiers, a former major and now a colonel, can't even beat a teenager." Colonel Adolf, do you want your name to be a joke in the Navy Headquarters?"

Rhodes was thinking about keeping Ace safe for a while, and if Ace was listed as a wanted criminal so early, it might be detrimental to him.

Colonel Adolf stopped, clenched his fists, teeth rattling in his mouth.

"Just assume that none of this happened! When you first enter the East China Sea, you should need a perfect battle to let them know what you are capable of, so that the Navy Headquarters will recognize you, and it is not impossible that you will not have a chance to be promoted to brigadier general. Rhodes teased Colonel Adolf with his words.

Colonel Adolf, who was still angry just now, couldn't help but feel a little relieved, fantasizing that he would be invincible in the East China Sea, let the pirates of all sizes be terrified, and finally returned to the naval headquarters and was promoted to brigadier general.

When he silently agreed with Rhodes's words, he suddenly looked at Rhodes in shock.

"You...... Are you really a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child?" said Colonel Adolf.

"Fifteen years old, to be exact. Rhodes said indifferently. He is naturally talking about this body in the One Piece world, if you count the previous life, he has experienced the world for thirty years, and if you just talk about age, he is also approaching fifty years old.

"Fifteen years old!" exclaimed Colonel Adolf, "genius genius!

Although Colonel Adolf was a bit cowardly and inadequate, he was also loyal to the Navy. Now that another genius is rising in the navy, and it is still in front of his eyes, how can he not be excited.

When the time comes, Rhodes will become a rear admiral or even a vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters, so it will be not a small credit for discovering him! Moreover, Rhodes was once his subordinate, as long as the relationship is good, it is not impossible to rely on Rhodes's promotion to make a fortune in the future.

Rhodes glanced at Colonel Adolf with a slightly helpless gaze.

"Huh!"

A small wave crashed into the hull of the ship, and the water that came up turned into a brief mist, and the boat shook in bursts.

"Alas...... Wow...... "The image of Rhodes, who had become extremely tall in the eyes of Colonel Adolf, was completely ruined.......

He was rocking with the boat to the left and to the right, and his former maturity was now gone.

"Ah......hh Help......"

Colonel Adolf sighed.

"Forget it, when I didn't say it. ”

On the fourth day after the voyage, they finally reached the island of Joseph.

Compared to the boring voyages of the other navies, Rhodes was very novel, this was his first voyage, and there were pirates who found fault with it, so he was not bored.

The only fly in the ointment should be seasickness.

Recently, the area around the 197th branch of the Navy on Joseph Island has been heavily infested by pirates, because there is a naval garrison here, and the people live a relatively peaceful life, compared to most of the families in other places who are broken and penniless.

And after the rest of the place has been looted, the powerful pirates have finally come up with the idea of Joseph Island and its surroundings.

According to the branch, since about a month ago, the relatively idle 197 branch of Joseph Island has been busy, patrolling the nearby waters every day to fight the pirates.

Soon the troops were overstretched, and in desperation, they asked the Navy Headquarters for help.

So the Navy Headquarters deployed the unknown Major Adolf to support and was promoted to colonel, but this colonel's water is not small.

Rhodes followed Colonel Adolf to the 197th Branch. Rhodes' intuitive feeling is that the defenses here are weak and the personnel are in good spirits.

"The navy in the East China Sea is so weak?" Rhodes was not satisfied with the defense of the 197th Branch, he felt that with this kind of strength, even if he didn't use the Six Forms, he could sneak in without noticing.

"Ah...... Yes, it seems that it is necessary to straighten things out. Even Colonel Adolf, who had been serving in the Navy Headquarters, frowned.

Just as their ship slowly approached the port, a group of people came from not far away, led by a thief-eyed man, which made people can't help but be disgusted at a glance.

When Colonel Adolf disembarked, the man came with several naval soldiers behind him.

"Hello! Welcome to the 197th Branch of the East China Sea Navy! I am the current supreme commander here, Lieutenant Colonel Raquin. ”

Rhodes, who was on the right rear side of Colonel Adolph's right and served as a bodyguard, couldn't help but snort coldly when he saw Laquin's appearance.

Colonel Adolf, on the other hand, shook hands with Raquin and said, "Colonel of the Navy Headquarters, Adolf." He was ordered to take over the 197 branch and rectify the local area. ”

The expression on Laquin's face, who was originally smiling, froze, and he hesitated and asked, "Didn't you mean it...... Aren't you leaving?"

"Where's the Navy?" Adolf laughed.

"Okay!" Raquin's tone changed visibly, but he said anyway, "Please." ”

When Colonel Adolf walked into the branch with Rhodes, he found that there were very few people inside.

"What about people? Don't tell me that there are only a few dozen navies in a navy branch. Colonel Adolf asked.

"Ah, everyone else is out on patrol. During this time, the nearby sea area was very uneven, and the navy was needed to maintain law and order at all times. Raquin said.

Colonel Adolf looked around and said, "There are less than twenty people left in the branch, what if there is a pirate invasion?"

"Aside from the newly emerging pirate group, the other pirates pose no threat to us at all. And the latest pirate group called 'Rebellion' has been pinned down by us. That is, at the moment there are no armed forces that can threaten the security of the branch. Raquinn spoke eloquently.

"Then why are you still asking for help from the headquarters?" asked Colonel Adolf.

Raquinn was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The strength of the 'Resistance Pirates' is very strong, and there are many of them, they are not only horizontal on the sea, but also on land to bewitch the villagers and rebel. So the forces are getting bigger and bigger, and even a few small naval bases have already been leveled. ”

"This has changed in the direction of the insurrection, right?" said Adolf.

"yes, that's why I had to call for help. Raquin said.

Colonel Adolf was puzzled again: "This is not far from the Goya Kingdom, why don't you negotiate with the Goya Kingdom to suppress the rebellion together?"

Raquin was speechless, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Colonel Adolf noticed that something was wrong, but he didn't dig deeper, after all, he was a newcomer, and if he was so ignorant, he would have a lot of trouble in the future.

"Shall we continue shopping? You've just arrived today, and we're going to have to entertain you. As for business, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Raquin changed the subject.

Colonel Adolf nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Laquin began his rounds with Adolf's team.

And Rhodes, who was following Colonel Adolf, was secretly observing Laquin.
