Chapter 378: Old Friend
The admiral on the side was speechless, not knowing how to explain for a while, but after being reminded, he immediately recalled that the admiral felt a little afraid.
The Vice Admiral said: "Plus the guide bird, that is the bird that lives in the dense forests of Gaya, you know, the legend says that there is a lot of gold buried in that area, it is certain from Gaya, it is not a ghost ship."
The Navy Colonel standing on the side said, "This pirate ship is also named in the Navy Headquarters, and it is the ship of the Straw Hat Pirates, but judging from the cups left here, there is another person here." ”
"Well, I know this, how did you check the identity of the man with the golden mask I asked you to find?" The vice admiral frowned and asked, this person is one of the uncertainties here, and there is one more, I don't know where this person came from.
"The man in the golden mask, we don't have any definite news until now, but according to the news sent back to the headquarters by Smoker, this person is very familiar with the inside of the navy, and he is very powerful, but I don't know his specific identity, and..."
"And what, I don't like to play pantomime!" said the lieutenant general unhappily.
"And according to the report, this person's body shape is very similar to that of former Vice Admiral Ye Fan..."The major said cautiously.
"Hiss......." Hearing the Major's words, all the naval officers present couldn't help but stop their movements, with a look of caution and fear, because the name Ye Fan represents not only strength, but also a dead powerhouse, but also a naval traitor, although he was rerecruited after his death.
"Isn't that man dead? This information must be false!" said a lieutenant colonel standing on the side, trembling a little.
"Now no matter what, I think I should ask the Navy Headquarters for help, maybe only the Admiral can stop him!"
"No!" the vice admiral objected without hesitation, "If it's him, I'm not very worried, the most important thing is that in this fortress, in addition to our navy, there are many people, if there is a battle here, this is not good news, with the destructive power of the general, it is estimated that the entire fortress will be finished!
"Vice Admiral Jonathan, if we don't call for help from the Navy Headquarters," a rear admiral objected.
The rear admiral was about to say something, but he was stopped by Jonathan on the side waving his hand, he would never agree to the matter of asking for help, whether it was public or private, Ye Fan was his classmate after all, although he didn't talk much, but there was still no way to cut the friendship for many years, even if it was rumored by the Navy headquarters that he was sentenced to the Navy, he was the first not to believe it.
Then he said in an unquestioning tone, "Okay, I'll deal with the matter about that man, you concentrate on chasing down the remaining people, according to the previous order, Major General Chris, the rest will be handed over to you first, and pay attention to safety, you go down!"
"Yes!" Although they did not understand Lieutenant General Jonathan's order, the soldiers' duty to obey the order instinctively told them that they only needed to carry out the order!
When all the soldiers had retreated, Jonathan suddenly tilted his head and said to the office, which was empty except for himself, "Come on, why don't you come out to meet your old friends?"
There was no movement in the room, and it was surprisingly quiet, and Jonathan, who had thought he had guessed wrong, looked puzzled.
At this moment, a palm gently patted Jonathan's shoulder, and said faintly in Jonathan's ear, "It is worthy of Johnathan, who is known for his resourcefulness among vice admirals, how did you guess me?"
For the palm that suddenly appeared, Jonathan couldn't help but be stunned, this person's strength has increased again!
"I remember someone said that the scourge will last for a thousand years, and I never believed that you would die, so I just said that it is very similar to you, and I am familiar with the situation inside the navy, and the navy that has disappeared in the past few years is just that, you, Jack, and Mr. Zefa, the rest are just some scum!"
"Why don't you think I'm someone else?"
"It's very simple, Jack has disappeared, it is impossible for Mr. Zefa to join the Pirates, and your character should not join the Pirates, but then your approach was rather messy, I don't understand it. But I feel like you!"
"Oh, I'll go, you actually have a sixth sense, isn't this something only women have!
Speaking of this, Jonathan's face turned red.
Turning around and walking towards his cabinet, he took out two delicate cups and a bucket of tea from inside.
"When I was in the academy before, you kid was good at this bite, but I collected it on the Great Voyage, and it tasted good?" he said and poured the boiling water on the side into the cups.
The tea leaves also came into contact with the boiling water, and then a strong smell of tea permeated the entire office.
"Ouch, that's good, when did you kid learn to drink tea, this kind of tea should be pretty good!"
"Haha, this is for you!"
The fortress broke into with Luffy and others, instantly making this fortress that had been quiet for a long time noisy, and thousands of naval soldiers woke up from their sleep.
Whether it is in the huge fortress passage, or in the trees outside or on the shore, or on the lake in the fortress, you can see naval soldiers everywhere, and the giant searchlights are fully turned on, looking for Luffy and others who have disappeared.
After all, since the establishment of this fortress, there are only a handful of brain-dead pirates who can take the initiative to attack the fortress, and many naval soldiers stay here until they go to other places, and they may not be able to meet them.
Not to mention, it was rumored in the fortress this time that it was a ghost pirate ship full of gold, which could allow the entire fortress to search for eight people, which was also a high specification.
However, in the most commanding place in this highest-level fortress, in the fortress command room, one of the pirates who had been hunted down was sitting in it.
Opposite him, however, sat Lieutenant General Jonathan, the supreme commander of the fortress and the commander of the G8 branch, and the two sat facing each other, without any verbal collision or psychological confrontation.
The two of them sat here quietly, smelling the aroma of tea wafting in the air along the hot steaming teapot on the table below.
Gently smelling the fresh tea fragrance in the air, people couldn't help but feel refreshed, and the whole body became comfortable, and after half a ring, Ye Fan walked out of his sense of tranquility.
Looking at the tea leaves that were constantly churning in the teacup, Ye Fan said lightly, "Tea is such a thing, in addition to the Navy Headquarters, among many other generals, you can still find this kind of pure tea here, I haven't drunk this kind of tea for a long time, I really miss it!"
Jonathan calmly held the teacup and scolded with a smile, "There are not many tea drinkers among the admirals, except for me, the others really don't know." This tea is something I've treasured for a long time, so don't look at me like that, there's no way I'll give it to you!"
"Forget it, it's not so convenient for you to give me!"
"How is the navy doing lately?" Ye Fan asked casually as he put down the cup in his hand.
"The navy is already in chaos, a series of things have happened recently, Vice Admiral Karp went to the trial tower, the body of the marshal of the Warring States period is not as good as day by day, and the current navy is commanded by the governor of the air, I heard that the candidate for the next naval marshal has been decided, I heard that it is Akainu, but the order has not been officially issued yet. ”
"What is the trial tower?" Ye Fan asked with a cute face, he didn't know about this thing when he was in the Navy Headquarters before.
Jonathan spread his hands.
Ye Fan picked up the poured tea, gently put it next to his nose and sniffed it, the fresh fragrance came to his face, and his face showed a look of intoxication, so he took a sip lightly and said calmly: "In some aspects, I still agree with the style of the red dog, some things must be suppressed by iron-blooded means, and even some things must be given up in the face of choice, as for the navy and pirates, it has nothing to do with me, justice and evil only care about events and people, and do not represent a position." ”
Sipping the tea in his cup, Jonathan said: "No wonder Akainu, you are the only one who has always said that you have the same style of doing things in the navy as your own, and you believe in the iron-blooded policy." ”
Turning the warm teacup in his hand, Ye Fan smiled faintly, "He can't tolerate the existence of evil, if he knows that I am called a pirate, I guess he will be the first to come and destroy me!"
After staying in the navy for so long, I know the tempers of the yellow ape, the red dog, and the pheasant very well, according to the red dog style, no matter what happened before, as long as you stand on the opposite side of the navy, even the brothers will become enemies.
"Definitely. Jonner nodded helplessly, knowing his friend Akainu, "But there shouldn't be many people in the Navy who know your identity." When are you going to quit the pirates, you shouldn't be able to look down on pirates with your urine nature!"
"Well, it's okay here, at least this pirate group is not the kind of people who burn and loot, my purpose, I can't tell you this!"
Suddenly, Ye Fan put down the teacup in his hand and asked in a deep voice, "By the way, Marshal of the Warring States, how can your body deteriorate day by day?"
Sengoku's position is not the kind of person who rises up by other things, as a strong man of the same era as Roger and Whitebeard, he can't do it without strong strength, and now he actually tells me that his body is not as good as day by day, isn't it a joke!
"I don't know the specifics, after all, I'm just a commander of a fortress. Jonathan said, picking up the cup in front of him.
"Well, I didn't want to know anything!"
"In fact, the news that the marshal of the Warring States period is seriously ill is only known to people above the rank of lieutenant general. Jonathan explained, "By the way, since the accident with Jack and Peachrabbit, I have secretly investigated, and I have found the shadow of the world government in it, you have to be careful, I am afraid that your identity will be leaked, which is not good for those little guys behind you!"
