The location is the headquarters of the Navy, Marin Fando.

Although the noon meal has passed, there are still many sailors in the No. 1 canteen devouring - unlike other internal institutions of the world government, the navy, especially the Navy Headquarters, can find sailors working 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

After all, pirates don't have a set break! Anytime, anywhere, super pirates, serious crimes!

And Ace, who can quickly get along with any sailor on weekdays and has a good reputation throughout Marin Fando, is rarely sitting alone in the corner of the restaurant at this time. The small portion of pure white rice on the plate in front of him was in stark contrast to the meat set meal that was piled up on the plates of the rest of the sailors.

Even if someone noticed that something was wrong with Ace, out of kindness and curiosity, he proposed to "share a table" with him and chat between meals, but he politely refused. Then he continued to frown, staring at the crowded restaurant around him, sometimes with a solemn expression, sometimes in a trance, as if he had encountered some very difficult problem.

Defector Monchi M. D. Luffy......

Although he is not related by blood, he has a deeper affection for his younger brother Meng Qi · D. Luffy......

Luffy's dual identities, as well as the righteous seagull logo engraved on his back, made Ace feel depressed - although he knew very well that this was an illusion, he just couldn't control his emotions.

Even the discussions of the surrounding sailors on the various pirate crusade missions expanded indefinitely in Ace's ears until they echoed in his mind, causing ripples that could not be quelled for a long time.

Why do such a thing? Luffy?

I already have a ship that I can command, and I want to invite you to my ship......

Do you love the so-called freedom and the sea so much?

After a few minutes, Ace finally made up his mind, took a deep breath, then got up and walked straight outside the restaurant.

He said secretly in his heart:

"Luffy, my stupid Oodoudou! I will personally arrest you back to Marinfando! Then correct your mistakes! ”

……

Marin Fando Fortress Building, Large Conference Room A, the unfinished "East China Sea Mission Debriefing Meeting" was interrupted by Ace, who suddenly broke in.

Polusalino, who was standing in front of the projection screen to report on his work, reminded loudly: "Ace? Lieutenant General Karp isn't here, your grandfather said he was going to the shopping street to buy the only doughnuts in the headquarters, and he didn't eat them for a month or two, and he was almost hungry......"

Ace, who looked peaceful, slowly raised his head, looked around at the naval bosses present, and said with a firm look in his eyes:

"I'm sorry, Admiral Polusalino, but I'm actually here to find you!"

The marshal of the Warring States period, who was sitting at the top of the conference table, heard Ace say this, and saw him like this again, his eyes couldn't help but flash a fleeting relief and smile, but soon pretended to be serious and put on a black face:

"Bastard! What level of meeting do you think we're having, you little! Trespassing! Get out! Go to the management office and get the punishment yourself! ”

Except for the Marshal of the Warring States who was feigned anger and Polusalino, who had always been that frivolous, the rest of the generals in the conference room were all expressionless on the surface, secretly thinking that they were amused.

- From the outside of the fortress building to this large conference room A, there are at least 5 checks and blocks, and without the secret permission of the Marshal of the Warring States, even if Ace is the grandson of Lieutenant General Karp, and the sailors on duty are familiar with him, he will not be able to go up to this floor.

However, Ace's mind is now full of Luffy's affairs, and he didn't take these into account at all, although his scalp was a little numb because of the "anger" of the marshal of the Warring States, he still pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and said with great determination:

"Sengoku Marshal, General Polusalino, Commanders...... I'm here to apply for an assignment. ”

"Oh? Applying for a mission? You're not familiar with your boat, are you? Didn't you just drive it back from Fish-Man Island? The run-in period of 10,000 nautical miles hasn't even passed, has it? ”

After the Warring States Marshal "finished singing", Polusalino smiled and "hummed a tune": "And Ace...... You should report to your immediate supervisor when applying for a task, go through the complete process and procedures, and you can't have no rules. ”

Hearing Polusalino mention his boat, Ace's composure and seriousness showed a hint of excitement in line with his usual personality, but it was quickly replaced by helplessness.

took his partners to pass the ultimate assessment of Admiral Zefa, had the qualification to lead a warship alone, entered the special dock of Fish-Man Island under the 10,000-meter deep sea, and obtained a special battleship that was extremely satisfactory to him - this time should have been the stage when Ace, a young sailor, was overjoyed and ready to show his skills.

Until he returned to Marin Fando, wanting to share his joy with his brother Luffy and send out an invitation, but he couldn't find anyone at all, and heard the wanted notice from the staff:

His brother-in-law, Monchi M. D. Luffy, a few days ago, made a big fuss at the Navy Headquarters, and when he caused many injuries and damage to many departments, he robbed supplies and warships, and took two other young sailors to defect from Marin Fando, abandoning his identity in the Navy.

To be honest, for Ace, hearing the story of "Luffy making trouble with Marin Fando" can be called a daily routine that he has become accustomed to.

After all, Luffy is indeed naughty and active, and most of the time he is unreliable, not only with the equally unobtrusive Polusalino and Lieutenant General Karp, but also known as the "three troublesome characters of Marin Fando"; They were also talked about with Lieutenant General Karp, the grandfather, and the father of the leader of the revolutionary army, Long, and were called Little Mengqi, Old Mengqi, and Big Mengqi respectively.

But in any case, these discussions and titles are not only mixed with ridicule, but also recognition of ability, in short, they are not vicious. Even every time the headquarters reports on the day, it is said that "Luffy is making a fuss", and many sailors are also watching Luffy and Admiral Zefa and other naval bigwigs have fun.

But all this "friendship and joy" is based on Luffy's status as a righteous sailor - "He is a capable sailor, young, with a strange personality, very normal and charming, just like General Polusalino." ”

However, this time, the nature is completely different, Luffy left Marin Fando by unauthorized and abnormal means, and made the worst act of defection.

You must know that in the years since the establishment of the Navy, most of the sailors hated most not pirates, but those traitors who used to be colleagues, but for various reasons, turned their backs on justice, chose to leave or even hostile to their former comrades.

Ace is extremely proud of his naval identity, especially when he knows that as the son of One Piece Roger, he can be accepted by Polusalino and other informed naval bosses, and be cultivated and helped by them. So on weekdays, he always held himself to the high standards of his teacher Sakarsky, and competed with his sister Ann, who aspired to become a marshal, and became a model in the minds of many young sailors.

But now, his brother-in-law Luffy has done this kind of thing......

The old conversations with his companion Drake still echoed in his ears—Drake had told him how disappointed he was in his father who had defected from the Navy, how angry he was that he was a rotten man, and how much he longed to become a good sailor one day.

He comforted and encouraged Drake at the time, but now he has encountered the same thing.

"Marshals, generals, sir, Naval Soldier Monchi. D. Luffy's defection, I want to take charge of it. ”

Ace said this sentence, "I will personally capture him and the sailors he took away, and take Marinfando back together, accept punishment, and make up for my mistakes!" ”

Ace's words fell, like a bombshell bursting in the room, but the effect was on the hearts of these naval bigwigs, on the surface they didn't show any - even the most unbearable laughter, only the body trembled slightly, and there was still no expression fluctuation on the face.

"I understand Ace's mood and thoughts, but"

The Warring States Marshal lowered his face and asked in a deep voice, "You and Meng Qi · We all know D. Luffy's brotherhood, how can you guarantee that in the process of arresting him, you will not show favoritism and act according to the rules? ”

Ace seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and organized the language according to his true thoughts:

"Yes, the concerns of the officers do exist, and I did think about it."

"Hmm~ It's a good thing to think,"

Polusalino stroked his chin with one hand and said in a playful tone: "So Ace, how are you going to answer us after thinking about it?" ”

"I think there are three measures that can dispel the concerns of the chiefs!"

Ace lowered his voice, "First, let the personnel who can suppress me and have the confidence of the completion of this mission be recognized by everyone to participate in the arrest mission, which is not only a supervision of me, but also a warning to me." ”

"I learned that Lumonch · When D. Luffy made a fuss about the headquarters and tried to leave, Rob Luffy's seventh squad of the Navy Fool Team tried to stop it, but ultimately failed. Rob Luffy and the situation of Class 7 are also known to various commanders, they are strong, and the mission completion rate is nearly 100%, so I think I can let them continue to carry out the mission of arresting Luffy with me. ”

"Second. Hmm."

"Second."

Ace stammered his words, but opened his mouth several times, but couldn't think of anything more—the reason why he had said three points before was simply because of Admiral Zefa's teaching that "three-point speech is more convincing", and his eagerness to prove that he was up to the task.

In fact, he was just mentally prepared, but found that except for the first point he came up with in a hurry, he really didn't seem to have it

There was an eerie silence in the conference room, and the bigwigs were all tense in their expressions, lest they couldn't help but laugh.

Until Polusalino and the Sengoku Marshal looked at each other, the latter slowly straightened up and knocked on the table:

"Okay, you can make it this first, you remember to go to the staff to file the task and submit the plan, we have to continue the meeting."

"Wait, Marshal, you don't mean that Luffy and I are righteous brothers! Maybe I will."

Ace looked at a group of bigwigs who seemed to look a little wrong in surprise, and fell into a short circuit in the brain.

Looking at Ace, who still hasn't reacted, Polusalino shrugged helplessly, and decided to teach a lesson to the young man who was simple in the original plot of the Pirates or in the current timeline, so that he could understand the "sinister nature of the human heart".

So Polusalino smiled brightly and raised three fingers:

"I'll ask you three questions, Ace, number one, can Luffy beat any of us here? Second, on the day Luffy defected, weren't we in the main department? Thirdly, the efficiency of the General Staff is so low that even now the wanted warrant cannot be drawn up? ”

Thinking seriously about Polusalino's inquiry, Ace's expression was a little strange, and after a little hesitation, he shook his head firmly like a rattle.

Luffy is indeed amazing, but after all, he is still young. The naval bigwigs here, he may have all his hole cards, with desperate awareness, with the strength of the Dark Fruit against the ability and the possible carelessness of the opponent, he can barely draw with a very small number of people. But defeated? Don't even think about it.

As for the fact that the bigwigs are not in the ministry, it is even more nonsense, as a naval admiral but the most special Polusalino is likely to be often absent from the ministry, and some lieutenant generals may also often carry out tasks, but all of them are not in the ministry? Unless it's the Holy Land Mary Joya that is about to be destroyed?

And at least the Marshal of the Warring States Period, he, the Dinghai Divine Needle of the headquarters, basically will not leave this island except for going to Mary Joya for a meeting.

Not to mention the efficiency of the staff of the headquarters - since the popularization of the telephone bug network, even a small pirate in the middle of the world can inform the entire navy in a day. And the most vicious incident of the defection of the headquarters like Luffy is estimated to be reported to all the sailors in an hour, and it will spread throughout the entire world government.

Polusalino spread his hands rather amusementively, and looked at Ace with an expression of "you haven't reacted yet":

"Isn't that the end of it, so you say, is Luffy really a defector? Do we really not trust you to arrest him? ”

“.”

Ace, a simple child, finally widened his eyes gradually under Polusalino's straightforward pointing, the green tendons on his neck burst out, and his face began to turn from white to blue and then black at a speed visible to the naked eye. The lips kept opening and closing, but they couldn't say a complete sentence:

"What about you"

"This"

"But."

"Why?"

"Me"

In the end, it was reduced to a simple word, which was quite weak:

"Blanch!"

"Hahahahahahaha

The large conference room was filled with cheerful air.

Polusalino couldn't help but joke:

"Watch your words, Captain Ace, don't talk to your boss!"
