Chapter 117: Luring the Wolf into the House (Part II)
In the room, Roy, who had not yet left, looked at Alcatio, who was watching the "triumphant" William leave, on the balcony, and asked aloud: "I don't think it's appropriate for you to agree to his proposal." ”
"Oh?" Alcatio turned around and raised an eyebrow at Roy, "what's wrong." ”
"I can't say the specifics. Roy frowned.
Although Roy is cautious, William's thinking is formed according to the experience of the society in his previous life, and Roy is not a roundworm in William's stomach, limited by the knowledge and vision of this world, he also can't guess William's thoughts.
He felt that it was inappropriate because he felt that William was not a simple person, so he subconsciously resisted William's proposal, and always felt that William's proposal was somewhat conspiratorial.
However, Roy's baseless remarks obviously could not convince Alcatio, after all, William's proposal, from the current point of view, the most direct beneficiary is Alcatio, which happened to help Alcatio solve a problem, and William's request to become a nobleman of the Kingdom of Navia is also equivalent to putting a handle in Alcatio's hands.
"You're just too careful. Arcatio shook his head and said disapprovingly.
Roy snorted his cigar and didn't seem to be in a good mood: "Your eyeliner named Chloe, has there been any news coming back recently?"
"There are some. ”
Roy's eyes lit up when he heard this, but Alcatio's subsequent words dispelled his illusions: " Chloe said that Stolt was too soft-hearted to watch his pirates go ashore to burn and loot, so he always forced the crew to go to war with other pirates, and many old pirates on the ship were a little dissatisfied with him, so I guess that his proposal this time should also be for his own sake, after becoming a nobleman, he can gradually get rid of the pirate group, and after his crew put on a coat of the kingdom army, he also has a saying to stop the crew from going ashore and looting. ”
"What about the news of the Devil Fruit, is it natural?" Roy frowned at this, and finally asked the key.
"No, Chloe said that he basically uses swordsmanship in battle, and the fruit ability should not be strong. Alcatio said.
Roy was silent, and at this point, he also knew Alcatio's attitude, and it was not easy to force Alcatio, so he got up and left directly not very politely.
Roy was thinking about it until he returned to the Navy's 16th Division base, locking himself in his office, frowning and thinking until a knock on the door pulled his thoughts back.
His henchman, Yusolin . Captain Heller knocked on the door and came in, saluted, and then reported loudly, "Sir, Major Rat has a report. ”
The fold in Roy's brow deepened.
Many things in this world are so unfair, Colonel Roy thinks about himself, he has grown from a new soldier to a colonel-level officer, I don't know how much sweat and hard work he has paid during this period, he has brushed shoulders with death countless times, and tortured his body in the training ground countless days and nights to have his current status.
But the rat, a waste that can only be described as incompetent in Roy's eyes, has no merit by virtue of his father's power, but he can be promoted all the way until he becomes a second lieutenant, and then he is properly arranged to be an officer in the most "safe" sea area of the East China Sea.
Because of this relationship, Roy, as the supreme commander of the base, also has to give him a little thin face, and because of this relationship, even if he arrives in the East China Sea, where he is not familiar with his life, there are still people rushing to give him credit.
Since William's rise in the seas around the Kingdom of Navia, he has defeated so many pirates, although most of them are unknown, but he has never been officially wanted by the world government and the navy, and one of the most important reasons is that he will give credit to naval officers such as Mouse, Akin, and Roy every time.
William pulled Ah Jin, on the surface of the excuse is the identity of a fellow countryman, and he pulls Roy because he is the highest-ranking naval officer in the waters around the Kingdom of Navia, and he pulls in the rat because he has high-level connections.
Therefore, in the official report of the navy, those pirates were not defeated by the Morgan pirates, but by the officers and men of the 16th Division of the Navy, under the command of Roy, led by the rats, and defeated by Ah Jin.
In about a year, Ah Jin has changed from a soldier to an officer and has become a second lieutenant, while the mouse is even more exaggerated, because of his family background, after operation, he was quickly promoted from second lieutenant to major.
Even Roy himself, whose military rank has reached a bottleneck, has been repeatedly praised by his superiors, and in view of the fact that the actual rank of the division navy is generally lower than that of the headquarters, it is not impossible for him to become a brigadier general if he continues like this and does more activities.
It stands to reason that Roy should have a good opinion of William for this, but alas, he is not a mouse.
However, after a while, Major Mouse, who Roy secretly despised was led by Captain Heller, entered the office, and after giving Roy a substandard salute, he went to the chair in front of the desk at Roy's signal.
"Tell me, what can you report?" Roy asked unceremoniously as he waited for the mouse to sit down.
The rat's cheek twitched, Roy was inside the branch base, he was a more domineering person, although Roy was not good at what to do with the rat with a background, but after he recognized that the rat was unusable, he was not allowed to let the rat hold the real power.
Not long after the rat arrived at the base of the 16th Branch, he was transferred to Roy's side, and the rat was still happy and thought that he had been reused, but after a while, he learned that Roy was transferring him to his side to take care of him personally, and let him have no real job.
Up to now, the rat has become a major, and he still has no real power, and there is no work to do on weekdays, and naturally there is nothing to report.
It's not that the rat didn't want to transfer away, but William persuaded him through Tony, William's current sphere of influence is mainly in the sea near the kingdom of Navia, and the rat is reluctant to send benefits to him all the time.
The rat suppressed his resentment, glanced at Captain Heller, who did not leave the room, but began to pour tea for the two of them, and said the reason for this in a secret: "Colonel Roy, it's like this, I have a ...... , friend, he usually walks on the sea, and you know that the current environment is very treacherous, so he is eager to buy something to defend himself. ”
Roy kept looking at the mouse coldly, and only then did he say, "The 'friend' you said is Stolter!"
The rat glanced at Captain Heller again, and the gesture was obvious, but Roy was unmoved.
There was no way, so the mouse forced a smile and said: "Stolt They are also friends of the officers and men of the 16th Division of our Navy, after all, they gave a lot of help when we encircled and suppressed the pirates in the area under our jurisdiction, and we helped him and helped ourselves." ”
"Friend, heh," Roy sneered, "what does he want?"
The mouse whispered, "Six styles." ”
Boom!
As soon as the mouse's voice fell, he saw Roy casually pick up a large book from the table and smash it, although Roy was short, his strength was not small at all, and the heavy book castrated quickly and urgently, and directly smashed on the bridge of the mouse's nose.
The rat's nose was sore, and then a sharp pain came into his mind, nosebleeds and tears rolled down uncontrollably, and he was smashed and almost fell off the chair.
"You idiot!" Roy scolded.
