Chapter 14. Karp and Dusty
Since that day when he wiped out all the pirates in Rogue Town, Jace has become idle, and he is not good at handling government affairs, so when he is well, he can't sit still. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"You want me to send a ship to take you out to sea to catch pirates?" Smoker said.
Jace nodded, "Of course, as a navy, it's my duty to capture pirates!" ”
"No way!" Smoker refused him without hesitation, "I think you're just idle and panicked, that's why you want to go to the pirates for trouble." ”
"Although there is indeed a reason for this, isn't it very good, I went out to sea to go for a walk and catch a few pirates by the way, which is a good thing."
"I said no, only when the military rank reaches the award level, will you have your own warship and get the right to go to sea alone, and we only have one warship in the entire Rogue Town, which is to be used to patrol the nearby waters, I can't give it to you to use, otherwise you will follow the patrol team around the neighborhood?"
To be honest, Smoker really didn't dare to let Jace disappear under his nose, he was simply heartbroken about this young man, although his strength was good, he was definitely the top in the navy under his command, second only to himself, but this guy's methods of dealing with pirates were really a bit murderous, just take the previous action to capture the pirates, obviously he had specially instructed him to do it lightly, but this guy didn't listen to it at all, and the pirates he killed were killed and injured countless times, except for a few pirates who were lucky enough not to be injured, The others are all dead or disabled, and even if they are cured, it will cost them, just ask, who would dare to let such a guy out at will.
Naturally, Jace refused to agree, but the Smoker guy was determined not to let him out, and in the end, Jace could only angrily raise his middle finger at Smoker, and then turn around and leave.
After nearly half a month, Jace's injuries have been completely recovered, and on this day, he wandered around Rogue Town as usual with nothing to do, hoping to find a few troublesome guys to beat him up, but during this time, his 'notoriety' has long been conveyed to the ears of every ruffian hooligan in Rogue Town, once they see him, those guys will immediately disperse, and Jace can't find a few villains to get rid of the street hero's addiction.
As he was returning to the base on foot, he noticed that Smoker had come out of the base with a number of navies, and the navy did not bring any weapons, not as if he was going to fight.
"Alas, old smoker, what are you going to do?"
Smoker turned his head and glanced at Jace, a few bruises burst out on his forehead, and in the entire Rogue Town Naval Base, Jace dared to give him a nickname.
"You kid, if you're idle, go clean up the base, don't just wander around all day without doing business."
After reprimanding Jace as his boss, Smoker was in a much better mood, ignoring Jace's reaction and leaving with the navy on his own.
"Well, I don't have anything to do anyway, so let's just follow and have a look." Jace touched his chin and muttered to himself.
Hanging behind Smoker and the others, after walking around for a while, the group came to the port.
Is this someone coming to pick it up? Jace thought to himself.
After a while, a small black dot appeared on the sea level in the distance, and in Jace's eyes, it was easy to see that it was a naval warship.
"Oh hahahahaha...... a stout old man with a white dog's head hat stood on the deck and laughed, the laughter was very hearty, and people couldn't help but be infected by his laughter, "Smoker little ghost, I haven't seen you for a few days, you kid has become the town guard colonel of Rogue Town, it's really good." ”
This old man is none other than the world-famous naval hero, Iron Fist Karp, the legendary figure who once chased One Piece Roger, who had no way to go to the sky and no way to the earth, and the grandfather of Luffy and Ace.
Speaking of which, Jace's grandfather once told him that he was Karp's subordinate in the first place.
"You old man came to me to talk this nonsense?" It's Smoker, who has that tone of under-beating to everyone, and it's a miracle that he has survived with his mouth and hasn't been beaten to death.
Fortunately, Karp is an open-minded and optimistic... Stupid, so he didn't get angry at all, but said in a somewhat flattering tone: "Don't be so cold, little smoker, the old man specially took the opportunity to go back to the windmill village to see his grandson to send someone to you." ”
"Little girl, come out." Karp shouted to the cabin behind him.
After a while, a little girl with glasses and a sword taller than herself, about 13 or 4 years old, ran out of the cabin and said timidly to Smoker: "Chu. When we first met, my name was Dusty, a private of the first class, and from now on I was transferred to work under Colonel Smoker, and I would like to ask for a lot of advice in the future. ”
Smoker squinted, looked at Karp and said, "What's the matter with this little girl." ”
"Didn't you hear just now, this little girl is a recruit who just graduated from the naval academy this year, and was assigned to your job, but you have never sent someone to pick her up at the headquarters, I saw this little girl sitting on the steps on the street a few days ago with a sullen look, so I went up and asked her what was going on, and then she said that you didn't send someone to pick her up, and I happened to go back to the East China Sea to see my grandson, so I brought her here by the way, little smoker, you have to thank me well."
Smoker said expressionlessly: "Nosy old man, when the headquarters contacted me to pick up these recruits, I told the headquarters, I don't need this, why are you bringing people here!" ”
Karp stretched out his little thumb and plucked his ears, put them in front of his mouth and blew them, looking like hob meat: "I don't care, anyway, I've already sent people over, you can do it yourself." ”
Smoker found that he had been a little good at self-cultivation recently, probably because he had been angry with Jace a lot more times, and at this moment he could actually bear not to lose his temper with Karp.
Under Dusty's hopeful gaze, Smoker finally didn't say the words let her go back, he waved his hand impatiently, "Forget it, since everyone has sent it, let her stay." ”
Karp smiled and patted Dusty on the shoulder and said, "Oh hahaha.... That's good, little girl, you see, I'll just say, this little smoker grew up with me, I know what virtue I know very well, a typical knife mouth tofu heart, although the mouth is fierce, but as long as he grinds him, he will agree. ”
"Now that I've sent you over, little girl, I'll take my leave, old man, and I have to go back to Windmill Village to see my two lovely little grandsons."
Karp waved goodbye to the crowd and turned to leave.
"Hey! Geezer..... Lieutenant General Karp, please wait! "It's all Smoker's fault, and I've learned to call him Old Man Karp.
Hearing someone call out to him, Karp stopped and turned around to look at him in some strange ways.
"Little ghost, you called me something?"
"Hmm." Jace nodded and said, "I don't know what Lieutenant General Karp is about you to a Philip. Are there any impressions of the Hebers? ”
Karp looked up and recalled for a few seconds, and said, "Heber, I remember, I used to be an ensign on my warship, and more than ten years ago because of his wounds, he recovered and went home, what, do you know him?" ”
"Well, that's my grandfather."
"Oh ha..... Heber's kid did a good job, he sent his grandson to be a navy, unlike the old man's two grandsons, who shouted all day long to be One Piece, by the way, is your grandfather okay. ”
Jace was a little happy that Karp remembered his grandfather.
"My grandfather has passed away, but he likes to tell me the most about the fact that he pursued One Piece Roger under the leadership of Lieutenant Karp Lieutenant General You, and it can be seen that he admires you very much, so seeing Lieutenant General Karp you remember him, I think he will be very happy even if he is far away in heaven."
"Yes, Heber, a good soldier." Karp recalled the days with some nostalgia, "Little ghost, what's your name?" ”
"Phili. Jess. ”
"Jace, I've written it down, if we have a chance to meet in the future, let's have a good chat together, I've got to go now, goodbye, Jace."
Jace opened his mouth and said, "Uh, that ....."
Karp looked at him strangely, "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't ramble." ”
Jace smiled embarrassedly and said, "Well, didn't you know that Vice Admiral Karp had a small boat on your warship?" ”
This guy! Smoker looked at Jace in disbelief, it turned out that this guy hadn't given up on going to sea.
"There are a few lifeboats, why are you asking this?" Karp asked curiously.
"Can you give me one? I wanted to go out to sea to see and catch a few pirates by the way, but I couldn't go because I didn't have a ship. ”
Before Karp could reply, Smoker preemptively said: "Hmph, boy, you haven't given up the idea of going to sea to play, but it's a pity that you think too much, even if the old man is willing to give you a boat, you won't be able to go to sea." ”
"It's true, ordinary lifeboats are small boats, without sails and propulsion systems, so they are very slow and not suitable for going to sea at all." Karp chimed in.
But old man, your grandson Luffy can go to sea with a wine barrel in his arms!
"Really? Adding sails to a boat should work, right? Jace asked, reluctantly.
"Oh ha... Taken for granted, Jace. Kapu laughed, "Think about it, how big a sail can a boat be so small?" How much thrust is generated? Therefore, even if the sails are added, the boat cannot sail far, except of course some special ones. ”
Smoker also took the opportunity to say, "Boy, stay in Rogue Town." ”
"But I can use my warship to take you out for a walk, just in time to use your kid as an example for my two grandsons, and see, how good it is to be in the navy." Karp said suddenly.
Smoker: "......" is so embarrassing!
