At the beginning of 1507, Smoker received an order from the naval headquarters to return to Marlene Van to report, and agreed to his previous suggestion that the original Karl Vando report to Marlene Van Do. Lieutenant Dönitz took over as head of the 1st Division of the West Sea, and at the same time was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel of the division.

So it took two months for Smoker to completely hand over his official duties to Carl. Dönitz, and after he was familiar with everything, he took his adjutant Drake and the headquarters navy he had brought before, and took his flagship to climb the Upside Down Mountain again and officially enter the sea area of the great route.

It is worth mentioning that when he led the team through the streets of Nantes, there were people from the West Sea who came to hear the wind, including not only the local residents of Nantes, but also people from other towns and islands in the West Sea.

They had nothing, and no one had said anything to keep Smoker, but with a look of gratitude, they quietly watched him board the magnificent warship of the headquarters, while many video phone bugs were released to all parts of the West Sea.

At that moment, Smoker's heart seemed to be touched by something, and he felt that the cloak of justice on his body was getting heavier and heavier, and he successfully left the sea area where they had struggled with the blessings of the civilians of the West Sea.

Smoker stood at the bow of the boat with the little Lada on his shoulder, looking at the ocean ahead of him in the sea breeze, his white hair and coat were blown to the ground, and the eyes that gave him blessings kept coming to his mind.

"As a Navy, I'm proud ...."

"Yes!"

Drake, who was standing behind him, nodded with emotion and acknowledged, he raised his right hand and turned his palm into a fist, looked at the invisible aura that appeared on the fist and said, "Their blessings, I will remember them in my heart." ”

"Of course!"

......

While Smoker and Drake are navigating the rough seas, a man who is only three years older than Smoker officially declares his domination of the New World Seas, where he will become the fourth emperor.

For such a domineering declaration, the Whitebeard Pirates, the Hundred Beast Pirates, and the BIGMOM Pirates did not have any objections, but each sent an envoy to contact him and discuss the scope of the other party's territory.

But one thing is certain, and that is that no matter how they discuss, the three of them need to hand over a part of their territory that is their own, and in this world where the strong are respected, everyone takes it for granted.

Because as long as you are strong enough, you can 'fairly' get your own part of the cake, and you will never be short of two pounds.

This man is the red-haired Shanks!

Since then, the New World Sea has officially ushered in the era of the Four Emperors, a situation that the world government does not want to see, and the five old stars who hold the highest power in the world unanimously believe that it has reached an extremely dangerous moment.

They felt that the Navy Headquarters alone could no longer cope with such a situation, so they began to speed up the formation progress of the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty, and at this time, a big man who had disappeared for several years was born again.

Keeping up with the news of the redhead's coronation at the top, tyrant Bartholomy. The news that Xiong officially joined the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty swept the entire sea again, but after one person saw the news, his suppressed anger could no longer be suppressed.

"Find! Give me Bartholomy. Find out where the bear is!! ”

Doflamingo's five fingers moved slightly, instantly shredding the news in his hand, and then ordered with murderous intent, he didn't care if the bear was the Seven Martial Seas or not, he would have to pay the corresponding price if he killed his own brother!

But it's not so easy to find someone in the vast sea, but it's good that Bartholomi. Xiong had no intention of hiding, and still diligently performed his duties as the Seven Martial Seas on the Great Voyage, clearing away groups of pirates large and small.

This made his tyrant even more resounding, and at the same time made him scolded by thousands of pirates behind his back as a government stooge. When the bear appeared in front of them, they could only despair, then fell to their knees and begged for mercy, and finally died in the sea with the pirate ship.

So in less than a month, Doflamingo knew about Bartholomi. The exact location of the bear, at this time he had already arrived at the Great Voyage, so he immediately rushed out of the hut and cast the 'empty path' to soar into the sky!

The cadres of the Don Quixote family below could only look up at the back of their young master worriedly, they wanted to follow the past, but they also knew that this level of conflict, if they intervened rashly, they would probably die meaninglessly.

"Well, if only Virgo were here, maybe he could help Dover...," said Torrebol, who had a big snot.

Under the white clouds, above the blue sea.

Doflamingo, who was flying at high speed in mid-air, smiled fiercely: "Boom, there may be one less member of the Seven Martial Seas under His Majesty... Bartholomy. Bear."

......

On the other side, after a month's voyage, Smoker and Drake finally arrived at the port of Marlene Vando, where the magnificent Fortress of Justice and the wide and neat Square of Justice once again caught their eyes.

Teacher Zefa and Tina, who had been standing below for a long time at this time, smiled at Tina, and then saluted Teacher Zefa: "Teacher! ”

"Well, that's good."

Zefa looked at Smoker for a while, and found that he had not only grown taller, but also increased his strength a lot, and he was very relieved: "Okay, you go to the Warring States to report first, and I should also go back to the military academy." ”

"Yes, thank you!" Hearing that Zefa was busy and deliberately took time out to greet him, Smoker thanked him gratefully, and then waited for the other party's figure to disappear in place, took two steps forward, and hugged Tina: "I want you to die!" ”

Drake behind him: "......"

"I miss ,,,,,you too," Tina replied softly as she leaned into Smoke's arms.

Drake behind him: "......"

Surrounding Navy: "......"

"Okay, you go report first, I heard that Mr. Zefa said that your military rank is going to be promoted again!" Tina gently pushed Smoker away, then whispered in his ear, "I'll be waiting for you at your house." ”

Opened the domineering Drake: "......"

Smoker glanced at the background of Tina's homecoming, and then said to Drake with a natural expression: "Let's go too, your rank should also be promoted." After saying that, he took the lead and walked to the Fortress of Justice.

Drake: "......".

Ten minutes later, the two walked into the marshal's office, one after the other.

"Admiral Akainu!"

"Admiral Akainu!"

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Sakasky sitting on the sofa, and Smoker immediately said hello, followed by Drake.

"Well, you're doing a good job in the West Sea, you're a good navy!" Sakasky looked at Smoker and said, the appreciation in his eyes was clear.

He liked Smoker's ruthlessness towards pirates, so when he heard that he had come back to report this time, he came here on time to wait, and now that the people had seen it and finished speaking, he immediately stood up and prepared to leave, he still had a lot of official business there.

"Keep it up, Smoke Boy."

He patted him on the shoulder, and walked out of the marshal's office, but the phrase 'Smoke Boy' had already indicated his attitude, which meant that from now on, he Akainu was willing to endorse Smoker.

Drake: "......"

The Marshal of the Warring States who was sitting behind the desk saw this scene and had a little more consideration in his eyes, but when Smoker and Drake stood straight in front of him, they immediately greeted with a kind smile: "It seems that our navy has two more excellent colonels!" ”

After a cordial exchange between the two sides, the Warring States finally opened the drawer of the office desk casually, and there were just three document bags that had been prepared for a long time, he picked up the top one, and then put on a serious look.

"Lieutenant Drake!"

"Yes!" Drake.

"Now it's officially announced that you will be promoted to Lieutenant Colonel of the headquarters!"

Sengoku then handed the document bag in his hand to Drake, and then looked at the other navy beside him.

"Captain Smoker!"

"Yes!" Smoker.

Sengoku's right hand reached out to the second document bag again, but for some reason it showed a hesitant expression, the palm of his hand paused slightly, and then directly crossed the top document bag and took out the third document bag below.

"Now it is officially announced that you will be promoted to Major General of the Headquarters!"

Smoker: "......"

Drake: "......"
