"Snake?!"

That's right, the body of the stick that was more than a meter long in the ten hands turned into a long black and shiny snake.

At this time, it was glaring at Smoker with its oozing eyes, and its mouth was sticking out the tip of its tongue and making a 'hissing' sound.

"That's right."

The Warring States Marshal nodded and said with a smile: "It is the black mamba form in the animal snake snake fruit, and it is very toxic. After saying that, he thought of one more thing, and immediately said again: "I heard that this is still Mr. Tom's disciple Frankie's choice for you, and he is now Dr. Vegapunk's first assistant!" ”

"Oh! It turned out to be Frankie's boy......"

Smoker had a 'pervert' in his mind wearing only briefs, "Looks like he's doing well there." ”

But at that moment, the 'Black Mamba Snake' suddenly came up and rubbed his face with its cold snake skin, which made Smoker stunned.

He looked at the 'snake' in amazement, and then asked Xiang Sengoku suspiciously, "Does it have feelings?" ”

"It seems so, and it can understand people's words, you try to command."

Smoker turned to the 'Black Mamba' and said, "Turn back!" ”

"Shhhh

'Black Mamba' was a little unhappy, but he still retracted the snake body and turned into a straight stick again, and such an obedient situation made Smoker have another doubt.

"Marshal, how did it decide that I was the master? Or can whoever you hold the handle to command it? ”

Neither Karp nor Sakasky could answer this question, because they didn't know anything about this kind of thing, and only Sengoku had asked the scientific army about it once because of curiosity.

"That's right, it is said that a fruit weapon like this will be listened to whoever gets it, so you better keep it carefully, although it may be a bit chicken for you, but it is also a treasure anyway!"

Smoker nodded, put his ten hands behind his back, and cast a wisp of smoke that turned into a shredded cigarette, holding it firmly in place. But what made him a little speechless was that he inexplicably had a strange 'sense of completeness' in his heart, could it be that he was 'missing' before?

At this time, Sakasky and Sengoku glanced at each other, and then nodded to each other in understanding, and Sakasky spoke: "After our previous discussion, I will be responsible for helping you hone your domineering spirit and try to break through the general's combat power!" ”

"Yes!!"

Smoker immediately straightened up and replied loudly, his mood was excited at this moment, compared to this 'black mamba' or something, it was not worth mentioning at all.

Sengoku interjected and reminded: "But I can only give you two years, if you fail after two years, then go to the G-1 branch to serve as the base commander." ”

And Karp had already sat back on the sofa at this time, continuing to challenge the new 'Xianbei Record', for him, there were really not many things in this world that could make him serious.

"Understood."

Smoker nodded, if he really failed, he would naturally give up the idea of a 'neutral navy', obediently become a vice admiral, and then accompany Tina to grow old.

"Hmm."

Seeing Smoker accept all this, Sengoku nodded with satisfaction, "Next, I will give you two months of rest, take care of anything that needs to be dealt with, try not to come back within two years, and there is no room for distraction when breaking through this kind of thing!" ”

"Yes!"

Smoker gratefully saluted Sengoku, Sakaski, and Karp, and then withdrew from the office with Sengoku's permission, and he was about to rush home.

"I didn't expect the cigarette boy to come to this day~"

Karp looked at the door that had just closed and smiled, then stuffed a piece of senbei into his mouth and ate it, while feeling pity in his heart, "If only my Luffy could become such a good navy." ”

"This is a good thing, only by constantly appearing fresh blood like Smoker, can our navy maintain the current combat strength!"

Sengoku sat back in his chair, then habitually picked up a pen and worked on the papers.

The goat beside it obediently lies on the ground, quietly looking up at its owner, who is always busy, waiting for useless or documents that need to be eliminated, which is its food.

"Then I'll go back and prepare."

Sakasky stood up, then said politely to Karp with a cold face, "I'll leave it to you for the next two years." ”

Although the two have very different views on justice, after all, the 'Ace incident' has not happened yet, so Karp's attitude towards him is not bad.

"No problem!"

With a guarantee, Karp casually picked up matcha to moisten his throat, and then after Sakasky left, he immediately turned his head and smiled at Sengoku: "But let's say it first, I won't do official business or anything!" ”

"Look at what bastard you're talking about!"

Sengoku was furious, and every time he saw Karp say this kind of same underbeat with that underwhelming expression, he couldn't help but slap the table, and it became a habit after so many years.

"What vice admiral is like you, who doesn't often do tasks, and hasn't even handled a single official business?"

"Hahahaha-"

To Sengoku's angry outburst, Karp's response has also become a routine, that is, laughing, laughing, laughing, and buttoning his nose at the same time......

......

On the other side, Smoker had already seen Tina, and in the courtyard in front of the villa, Tina watched her son and little Rada play on the grass with a peaceful expression.

Such a beautiful scene made him stop and stand in front of the gate to appreciate it quietly, and at this moment he could feel that his heart was very warm, which should be the so-called happiness.

"Husband?"

At this time, Tina looked over as if she was conscious, "Husband! ”

"Daddy!"

"Lada ——!"

"Hehehe, I'm back."

Smoker pushed open the door and walked in, picked up his son who had pounced on him, and then carried the little Lada, who jumped on his right shoulder and rubbed his cheek, to Tina, who was dressed in casual clothes.

"Whoa."

At this moment, Smoker seemed to be a child who had not grown up, and mischievously leaned his left cheek over.

"It's like it's dead~ The child can look at it."

Tina was a little shy, and then kissed her son with lightning as he shared the fun of these days with Smoker with a smile on his face.

"Hmm!"

But at this moment, Smoker turned his face sideways at a faster speed, kissed his wife's fragrant lips, and felt the familiar taste on the tip of his tongue, Smoker was drunk, and so was Tina.

At this time, Hygia and Little Rada quietly quieted down, especially Hygia watched this scene happily, he knew that kissing was because he liked each other.

Mom often kisses himself, and he often kisses Little Lada, so he is very happy to see Mom and Dad kissing each other.

"Poof!"

At this time, Hegia didn't know what to think, and quietly leaned over, kissed Smoker lightly on the cheek, well, it wasn't enough, kissed Tina again, and then laughed.

"Husband, I have applied for early retirement."

As soon as her lips parted, Tina, who was still flushed, suddenly said, and Smoker was startled, but did not say anything, but looked at her quietly.

"I want to grow up with Hygia."

Tina touched her son's little head and said with a smile: "I don't want him to often not see his parents, at least.... There must be someone by his side. ”

“......”

Smoker continued to be silent, he knew what it meant, he and Tina were both in the navy, and both were senior officers, so if both of them continued to hold positions, it would be a lot of separation.

This is very common on the military island of Marlene Vando, where almost all of the children's parents are in the navy, so they generally live in school dormitories from an early age, and they see their parents no more than ten times a year.

Smoker: "You're decided?" ”

Tina: "Hmm. ”

Smoker: "I'm sorry. ”

Tina: "What? ”

Smoker: "Turns you from 'Colonel Black Sill' to 'Home Vase'." ”

Tina shook her head and smiled, "Stupid, what's more important to a mother than a child?" A vase is a vase, it doesn't matter. ”

Smoker: "Thank you. ”

Tina brushed Smoker's face, met his eyes, and said a gentle 'thank you' in return.

"Thank you for giving me the best husband, thank you for giving me my lovely child, thank you for giving me a happy family."

"I'm happy ......"

"The best husband?"

Smoker recalled this sentence in his heart, and asked with some suspicion, "You.... Do you really think I'm a good husband? I don't even have time for you or my son. ”

Especially when he thought of leaving for two years in two months, he felt even more ashamed.

"Absolutely!"

Tina said with a look of certainty and pride: "Of course a man who makes the family happy is a good husband,!" ”

"Thank you......"
