On the deck of the warship, Raphael summoned all the members of the Ghost Squad here and asked Jonathan to announce their promotions.

Since Raphael dismissed all of them from their ranks at the beginning, everyone was not too happy when Jonathan was declared private, after all, they were higher in rank than that.

Besides, as Raphael became famous and became a legendary figure, everyone felt that the military rank was not important to their current self, and the most important thing was whether they could always follow Raphael, after all, in their hearts, it was a very honorable thing to be able to follow Raphael.

Maybe their names will be written in the annals of the Navy in the future.

Located in Jonathan, Hans, Michelangelo, Leo, and Nado, these five people have made great contributions this year, and Jonathan was promoted to captain, and the other four were promoted to Cao Chang.

"Ronald, Michelangelo, Leo, Nado, do you know why I didn't raise the issue of promotion this year?"

After the credit, it was the matter of punishment, and Raphael said to the three Ronald brothers.

"Looks like you can't hide!" The three Ronald brothers, who were standing in the front row of the ghost team, all sighed separately, this violation of the order in the past year has caused Rohr to have the opportunity to order the warship to shell the Maldives, causing many of the world's rich nobles to lose their lives, and even almost let the boss sit on the charge of shelling the Maldives, they don't have a taste in their hearts, and this question echoes in their hearts almost every day, making them unable to extricate themselves.

This time Raphael brought it up, but the three of them were relieved, and they didn't answer Raphael's words, just this one.

"I don't care if I'm charged with shelling the Maldives, after all, I've said that no matter what you do wrong, I'll stand up to it when the sky falls. Even when Jonathan reported it, I didn't ask him to bring it up, do you know why? ”

Seeing that the three Ronald brothers did not speak, Raphael said again.

"Could it be" Hearing this, the three Ronald immediately raised their heads, looked at Raphael in surprise, and said incredulously.

"Yes, I don't want to expel the three of you from the Navy for violating the order. Even let you build up merit in this year to offset your mistakes, but guilt is guilt, even if I want to suppress it, but this is also a fault that you can't erase for the rest of your life! ”

Speaking of this, Raphael looked at the three people who had already been said to be almost crying, pretended to sigh helplessly, and said reluctantly: "When you go back to the headquarters this time, you can go to the city by yourself!" Where, Director Luke will arrange for you! ”

"Yes!"

Holding back the tears that were about to fall from their eyes, the three Ronald brothers stood up straight, and even their faces did not show a hint of displeasure because Raphael punished them, but instead gave a military salute and accepted Raphael's punishment.

"Big brother!"

Looking at the straight backs of the three brothers, all the soldiers of the ghost army were moved to tears, and their faces were full of reluctance.

After all, guilt is guilt, and Raphael's ability to do this is already a special kindness to them.

Raphael nodded at the three people who saluted him, ignoring the group of soldiers behind them who were about to cry, and said to Hans on the side: "Hans, when you return to the headquarters, you will inform Director Liuke of the matter of the three of them!" ”

"Yes!" Hearing this, Hans didn't think much about it, and nodded directly.

"Hmm!" Now that he had said that, Raphael didn't stay any longer, and went back to the office to rest on his own.

"Boss!" Looking at Raphael's back, Jonathan sighed helplessly, after all, as a navy, this is an inescapable responsibility. Then he turned around and shouted to the people who were already in tears: "Why don't you all go back to my respective posts, do you want this warship to float on the sea like this?" ”

After more than two weeks of sailing on the sea, although there were many pirates blocking the way, it was a small matter for this warship, so it returned to the gate of justice outside the naval headquarters almost unimpeded.

Coincidentally, the door of justice was always open, but for the sake of unnecessary trouble, Jonathan still sent a message back to the headquarters control room, and ordered the helmsman to advance to the port of Marlene Fodo.

Before they could get closer, everyone felt a cloud of war looming over this Marlene Fodo.

Because this was originally the mouth of the bay where there were not too many warships, at this time, there were five warships of the Demon Slaying Order level under his subordinates. Even from the warships, you can see countless soldiers carrying weapons and food, preparing for all the needs of this war.

"Looks like the war is about to start!" Seeing this, Raphael thought of the New World Gore, D, Roger's encounter with the Golden Lion, and he was no longer surprised.

As the warship approached the mouth of the bay, a middle-aged man with the rank of major general greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Brigadier General Raphael, it's been a long time!" The person who came was none other than Ali, Major General Ellison, who had met Raphael several times.

"Hmmm! It's been a long time! Major General Ellison! After getting off the boat, Raphael held Tina, who was already asleep, in his arms, and nodded at Ellison.

"What is this?" Seeing Raphael holding the one-year-old Tina in his arms, Ellison was stunned and said strangely.

"This is my daughter, what's wrong?" Raphael looked at Tina in his arms with a look of kindness, then looked up at Ellison and asked.

"Nothing, I just wonder why Brigadier Raphael is holding the child for no reason! Since he or she is your daughter, then it's nothing! Listening to Raphael's somewhat unconcerned question, Ellison smiled and didn't think anything, after all, young people, it's normal to have children.

"It has only been six years to grow to this point, and it seems that there must be this man in the highest combat power seat in the future!"

Recalling the four pieces of news that moved the sea a year ago, Ellison couldn't help but look Raphael up and down, secretly calling himself surprised, after all, Raphael's growth was almost all watched by him.

Remembering that Raphael was already the captain of the G8 fortress base that he had dreamed of for a long time, Ellison sighed, and didn't think much about this issue, he continued: "Brigadier General Raphael, the New World Sea Pirate Golden Lion Shiki and Gore, D, who is also a sea pirate, are about to meet, in order to stop this matter, our navy is also urgently preparing for war, so Lord Marshal wants you to go to see him as soon as you return to the headquarters!" ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Raphael pretended to be stunned, then nodded, then turned around and handed the Tina in his arms into Julie's arms, and said lightly: "Julie, Tina will be handed over to you!" Don't let her cry! ”

"Hmm!" Holding Tina in her arms, little Julie, who had already grown half a head, nodded lightly, indicating that she knew.

In the past year, after hard work, little Julie made a meal that Raphael was very satisfied with, and naturally became Tina's nanny, of course, when she learned that this little baby was not Raphael's own daughter, little Julie smiled happily!

Then, Raphael turned to the people behind him and ordered: "Hans, you go and deal with the affairs of the Ronald brothers, except for Jonathan, the rest of the people are on standby!" ”

"Yes!" After receiving the order, everyone did not ask much questions, and the marcher saluted.
