Chapter 53: Am I a Sweetheart?
Whistling not very pleasantly, the famous Admiral Pheasant is walking the streets of Rogue Town, and walking in front of him is the boss of Rogue Town, Colonel Smoker Smoker, who is responsible for leading the way.
"You're not bad at law and order." Wearing a green bucket hat and sunglasses to prevent being recognized, the pheasant admires the customs of Rogue Town while chatting with his (not at all) cute junior, and his words and deeds are as unobtrusive as his disguise, without the slightest admiral's style.
As one of the representatives of the top combat power of the naval force, the pheasant is not as serious as the world imagines, which is generally used to describe the red dog.
Among the three major admirals of the navy, the pheasant is not as lazy as the yellow ape, and he can release water when he can, nor is he as strict with himself as the red dog, under strict governance, he belongs to the kind of friendly boss who can be lazy and serious, does not release water in the face of the enemy, and treats his subordinates more gently.
And now is the moment for him to be lazy, and unless necessary, he will remain in this salted state until the end of the break or the marshal of the Sengoku period yells at him to go back to the naval headquarters.
Smoker was now gulping down a cigarette, choking out like a humanoid chimney.
It's a sign when he's upset.
And what makes Smoker unhappy is undoubtedly the senior and boss behind him, not that he doesn't welcome the arrival of the pheasant (in fact, he doesn't welcome it very much), the main thing is that he has a natural rebellious psychology towards his boss. Even if he actually has a good impression of the pheasant in his heart and admires his achievements, when he really wants to meet, he will only frown and greet him with a cold face, looking like people owe him 1.8 million.
What's more, now that he's on patrol, and the pheasant uses him as a tour guide, dangling around behind his ass, it makes Smoker very painful.
"If you really don't have anything to do, you might as well go back to the Navy Headquarters and stay." Smoker looked at the residents of Rogue Town who retreated when they saw the strange combination of him and Pheasant on the street, and rubbed his head with a helpless expression.
When the pheasant heard this, he thought that Smoker felt that he was hindering his patrol, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about me. β
"(λ_λ) Hiss~~~Whew~" Smoker took a breath of the remaining cigar, and after exhaling a puff of smoke that was enough to pollute the air within a radius of two meters, he snuffed out the cigar, turned his head and glared at a girl two meters away behind the pheasant and said:
"Dusty, take him to Rogue Town."
Knowing that Pheasant didn't want to reveal his identity, and Smoker didn't want people to know that the Admiral appeared in Rogue Town, and wanted to get rid of him, he directly handed over the task of receiving Pheasant to Dusty, who had become a fan girl.
Although this guy is a sword idiot, he also has great admiration for the admiral, especially for the pheasant, a general who has an excellent reputation both in the civil and the navy, and has maintained the state of a little fan since he met him yesterday.
Now hearing Smoker's order, Dusty also immediately stepped forward to receive the order, and said to the pheasant with a little respect: "Mr. Pheasant, please go this way." β
Glancing at the smiling Dusty, the pheasant raised her eyebrows, patted Smoker's shoulder, and said to the girl in front of her, "Then let's go." β
Watching the two of them leave with a blank expression, Smoker dusted off the frost from his left shoulder and grinned.
Damn, my shoulders are numb.

Zoro thought that Robin would still be hanging out in Rogue Town today, but he didn't wait for Robin's "invitation" until lunch time came. When he asked if he wanted to have lunch together, Robin also said that he could eat at the hotel, so he had to go out alone to forage for food.
Following Robin's advice, Zoro puts on a hat and sunglasses to prevent himself from being recognized (mainly by Smoker).
Of course, he still carries the three knives around his waist, and many young people and children in Rogue Town have recently liked to hang three knives on their waists to imitate Zoro, so he is not afraid of revealing his identity because of this.
He didn't go to yesterday's hotel, because he felt that Smoker might squat him there, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he still chose a small restaurant with a smaller faΓ§ade and a relatively remote location.
As soon as he entered the door, Zoro heard a familiar voice: "Boss, please serve us a few of your signature dishes." β
"Okay."
"......" stood in the doorway stunned, Zoro hesitated for a moment and chose to take a step back, two steps, three steps......
Just as he was about to leave, the familiar voice sounded again: "Hey, are you Mr. Zoro?" β
After a pause, Zoro knew that he might not be able to walk today.
Turning his head, Zoro ripped off his glasses and hung them on the placket of his clothes, asking, "How did you recognize me?" β
Obviously, he had already disguised himself according to the advice that Robin gave him last night, how could he be easily recognized by Dusty?
Sauron was puzzled.
Hearing this, Dusty lifted his glasses and said a little embarrassedly, "Hehe, I didn't actually recognize you, but I recognized your knife." β
Zoro: "......"
"By the way, Mr. Zoro, you're also here for dinner, right?" When Dusty saw that Sauron was alone, he invited him to dinner.
Glancing at the tall and imposing man in the hotel, Zoro nodded.
"Hello, Roronoa Zoro." Putting down the menu, the pheasant who had already spotted Zoro showed a kind smile.
"Hello." Zoro nodded and said hello in return.
"I've heard a lot about you along the way." Pheasant pulled out a newspaper from his backpack, "I have to say, well done." β
"Where, where, just a few little pirates, I can't compare to you." Zoro sat down and said modestly, "You say yes, Admiral Pheasant. β
"Oh, how did you recognize me?" Pheasant was a little curious, obviously even Dusty couldn't see through his outfit at first, but Zoro revealed his identity in a word.
Zoro smiled, meaning something: "When dealing with the navy, you always have to do your homework, otherwise you will capsize." β
"Oh, really?" The pheasant looked into Zoro's eyes, where there was not the slightest fear or evasion, only confidence and calmness.
It seems that he is indeed a righteous person, Pheasant thought.
"How did the admiral come to Rogue Town, but it is still at such a critical juncture." Zoro secretly said that it was not good, the current Robin did not have the mentality of "two years later", and she had a serious "pheasant phobia", and she would only be scared to move when she faced the pheasant.
Not knowing what Zoro was thinking, the pheasant asked with interest, "After cleaning up all the tens of millions of pirates in the East China Sea, where are you going to go next?" β
Now that he has come to Rogue Town, Zoro naturally has no intention of staying in the East China Sea, so the pheasant is only knowingly asking.
"Nature is the great waterway." Zoro picked up the menu and began to order, not showing much interest.
It's just that the pheasant didn't stop asking questions because of his attitude, after all, no matter how bad it is, it can still be as bad as the Smoker guy, staring at Zoro's eyes, the pheasant smiled and said, "Are you interested in joining the navy?" β
