"Bribe me?!"

I don't know why, Smoker felt that this was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and then Major General Rachel said with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"That's right, I have a son named Lexa, who is 14 years old."

Smoker asked, confused, "Is there anything wrong with your son?" What do I need to do? ”

"The Lexa bastard has been very wild since he was a child, and he doesn't want to be restrained at all, so he is very disgusted to join the Navy, saying that he will not enter the Navy Military Academy after graduation, but will go out on his own."

"Oh. So, what do you want me to do? Smoker listened for a long time, but he didn't realize what it had to do with him.

Major General Rachel smiled: "I heard from General Pheasant before that if you stay here for a year at most, you will be promoted to a school officer, and then you will be transferred to a certain branch in the four seas as a minister. ”

Smoker was a little surprised to see that the major general had told him such a confidential matter in advance, but when he thought about it, he could understand that it was not strange for a father to do something out of the ordinary for the sake of his son's comfort and future.

That's right, Smoker had guessed Rachel's purpose a little now, so he didn't interject and waited quietly for the other party to make a request.

You can't take the lead in taking care of this kind of thing, you must wait for the other party to say it in person, so as to maximize the "benefits", don't think that this is shameless, this is just a small trick in interpersonal relations.

Although the other party paid a valuable Devil Fruit, if the other party asked for it in person, and then agreed to it himself, then no matter what, the other party would still feel that he had accepted his feelings.

Then Smoker kept his promise to take care of Rechel's son, so he was quite completely "wooed" this senior major general of the headquarters, and he was also the adjutant general of a young general!

This is not a small political resource, and it will certainly have a huge effect one day in the future.

"So can you take Lexar with you when you go to the Four Seas, and take care of him there, as long as you don't let that kid get killed!"

Finally heard what he wanted to hear, and Smoker naturally wouldn't shirk it.

"No problem, when the time comes, you bring him to my ship, I promise to take care of him!"

"Good! Thank you, Smoker! ”

Major General Rechel burst into a smile at once, he had been having a real headache about his son lately, but until yesterday he had not found anyone who could reassure him to entrust his son.

Because his son will only be fifteen years old even next year, it is not appropriate to find comrades with strong strength and high rank, because those people basically do tasks on the Great Voyage all year round, which is too dangerous for Lexa.

So the best choice is to let him go to a more "peaceful" and "safe" world, but none of the navy that will be transferred to the four seas this year and next year is something he can see, let alone entrust his son's safety to the other party!

But yesterday's strength on the battlefield made him think again, at least with Smoker's ability and strength in the four seas, there should be few people who are his opponents, if it is in the "East China Sea", it will be even better!

At the same time, he also tried to understand some of Smoker's background, and at the top level, the relationship with Zefa, the former general who is like a father and a teacher, and the current principal of the military academy, needless to say, is almost well known.

Admiral Pheasant is also very obviously fond of him, and he also finds out that Admiral Akainu also likes Smoker's attitude towards pirates.

As for the lower class, Smoker seems to have been very famous since he was in the Navy Elementary School, not only the teachers liked him very much, but also the children of the class also admired his hard work.

Not to mention that he was also the squad leader of the elite class of the last Naval Academy!

Don't look at it as useless now, but as a Racel who has been in the Navy for decades, he knows that they will gradually ferment in the coming days, and one day they will be of great help to Smoker.

Because these will be his heritage!

"Eh, let Lexa follow Smoker, I think one day he will have a great future because of Smoker, and I can only do that......" Raychel sighed in his heart, but he didn't expect to stick to the rules for half his life, and finally broke it.

"It's okay... Then this devil fruit was eaten by Little Lada? ”

Smoker pointed to the golden apple in the box and smiled, he was really curious about the ability of this "Stealing Fruit".

"Of course no problem!"

Smoker then put the golden apple in his palm, handed it to the person sitting on his shoulder, and said softly.

"Ate it."

"Lada~?"

Little Lada tilted his little head to look at Smoker, and then at the golden apple in front of him, and he didn't know what the little guy was trying to write, so he hesitated for a few seconds and then obediently took a bite.

"Lada~!!"

But it didn't expect that after eating this beautiful apple with the heart of trusting Smog, it was waiting for it to have such an unpalatable taste, and it wanted to spit it out a few times, but it didn't expect that the flesh would turn into an unknown liquid and flow into its body as soon as it entered its mouth.

It didn't even make this swallowing motion!

"Rada~Lada~"

Little Lada felt the bitterness that still permeated the tip of his tongue, and looked at Smoker with watery eyes, looking very aggrieved.

"Hehe, little guy, don't look at me like that, feel your body and see if there are any changes."

Smoker didn't ask it to eat the whole fruit, because the Devil Fruit only needed to be eaten in one bite, and the remaining flesh would lose its magical powers, and then quickly decay and disappear within an hour.

As for those who are willing to endure the disgusting taste and eat the whole fruit, most of them are extremely power-seeking people, and they will subconsciously worry that they will gain less power by eating one less bite.

Little Lada jumped to the desk with a thud under the gaze of Smoker and Raychel, sniffed a pen on it, touched it lightly with his little paws, and then jumped back onto Smoker's shoulder.

Smoker touched his chin and was a little puzzled, nothing happened, is it because Little Lada still can't use his abilities?

It's also unlikely, the Devil Fruit is a very magical thing, and I don't know how to do it, as long as you eat it, then you can quickly use some of the most basic abilities, but whether you use it well or not, it will vary from person to person.

"Look!"

Just as Smoker frowned and thought, Major General Rachel in front of him suddenly reminded.

"This is?!"

When he looked over again, he was surprised to find that a pen suddenly appeared out of thin air about ten centimeters away from the little Lada.

"Lada~"

Little Lada grabbed the pen in his hand, and then smirked at Smoker, with a look of hasty praise on me.

Seeing Smoker's shocked expression, Major General Reichel smiled and said, "Let me introduce you to the basic ability of stealing fruits." ”
