Chapter 45: Someone on Our Head!
Rogue Town, Navy Base Chief's Office, Smoker put down the phone bug in his hand with a satisfied face.
He looked at the several bounty orders on the table in front of him, and very casually crumpled Anduru's bounty into a paper ball and threw it into the trash can next to him.
"Good job."
Smoker took two deep puffs of his cigar, then pondered for a moment before returning to his desk.
Toot ~ Toot
The phone bug rang twice, and then a lazy voice came from the other end.
"Huh? Smoker, how did you remember to call me. I heard that you were transferred to the East China Sea, do you want to go back to your headquarters? โ
The person on the other end of the phone bug was obviously surprised by Smoker's call, and Smoker calmly extinguished the cigar he had just been holding.
"General, I have something to report to you."
Smoker called the [Pheasant] Kuzan, one of the three major admirals of the current Navy Headquarters!
Although there is a big gap between him and Kuzan in terms of military rank, they are also good friends.
It is precisely because of this that when the group of people in the headquarters chose to send Smoker down, they only dared to let him come to the East China Sea to be the boss, instead of being sent to a poor and remote trench.
"Well, let's talk about it."
Kuzan, who was far away at the Navy headquarters, yawned, and he couldn't help but shake his head as he looked out the window at the somewhat dim sky.
Smoker quickly told Kuzan about William, and he focused on the fact that he had taught William the Six Styles, and that William's talent made him ashamed.
"Genius."
Kuzan was interested, and to be honest, he himself was a monster, so he didn't feel deeply about the genius that others evaluated.
However, he knew Smoker very well and knew that Smoker's character could not be exaggerated.
So William is definitely made of real materials.
"In less than a week, I learned five moves and six styles. At the age of fifteen, he can already destroy the ability of animal-based devil fruits on his own, which is very good. โ
Kuzan yawned again, thinking that at the beginning, when he first came into contact with the six styles, he practiced for a day and a half just to shave after the iron block, which was already the fastest record in the headquarters, and now he didn't expect a little guy from the Four Seas Division to break his record.
"I'm going to report William's military exploits to the headquarters, but you also know the character of those people in the headquarters, I'm afraid they will jam William's military exploits."
Smoker hesitated for a moment to reveal his true purpose for calling the bug, and he wanted Kuzan to stand up for William.
With the support of the general, those people in the headquarters would never dare to deduct William's military exploits.
Kuzenmo rubbed his chin, he didn't mind helping the geniuses in the navy, and it wasn't a personal use of power.
"I'll keep an eye out, and if anyone asks you, just say that I told you to pass on William's six forms, so that no one will trouble you. It's you, Smoker, who stayed in the East China Sea, and your body didn't rust. โ
Kuzan's words made Smoker smile wryly, how could this be exactly the same as what Tina said.
"Please rest assured, I have always been strict with myself."
This is not a lie, Smoker is a man with a lot of self-esteem, and if he had a bunch of wine bags and rice bags under his hands, he might have really fallen.
However, now that there is one more William, he doesn't want his subordinates to surpass him, so where will his face go.
So, in recent times, he has been practicing more diligently than when he was in the main department.
Kuzan nodded, and after a few words of conversation, the two broke off.
After the call, Smoker let out a long breath, and now he didn't have to worry about the guy in the headquarters disgusting William.
With General Kuzan coming forward, those people in the headquarters will definitely review William's military exploits as soon as possible, maybe William has not returned to the headquarters yet, and he has already received his appointment notice.
Meanwhile, while Smoker is contacting the general Kuzan, William is experimenting with his new tricks.
Standing on the deck of the warship, he watched the golden flames rising from his fist, and a thought couldn't help but come to his mind.
Burn the fruit, you are so miserable!
"Ensign William, can I take a leave of absence with you?"
Dusty walked over, her expression a little twisted, as if she had some deep uneasiness in her heart when she said this.
William glanced at Dusty, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"What's the matter, is there something to do? Speaking of which, it seems like you haven't had a break for a long time, so I'll give you two days off when you get back to Rogue Town. โ
Dusty hasn't had a break since he joined the Navy, and he hasn't had a leisurely vacation in a long time.
However, although there is no holiday, William works out on weekdays to fight, and he doesn't interfere in some naval affairs at all, so he doesn't feel like going to work.
"No, it's not."
Dusty was a little anxious, she organized her words before she said her thoughts, "I just asked, Seymour Zhiji Village is less than a hundred nautical miles away from us, and I want to visit the Ichishin Dojo. โ
Dusty took out the basic swordsmanship textbook she was carrying with her from her bosom, and her mind came alive when she knew that the Yixin Dojo was less than a hundred nautical miles away from her.
If she can get the teaching of a sword master, her swordsmanship will have improved a lot.
Following William's side, the pressure on Dusty is actually a bit great, after all, her boss's talent is too good, obviously she can keep up with the training at the beginning, but now she basically has no effect except for serving tea and pouring water for William.
"One Heart Dojo?"
William was slightly stunned, he didn't pay attention to the islands and villages along the way, and at first glance he was a little surprised.
However, in the next moment, William showed a look of interest.
Did you visit Koshiro Shizuki, he also had this idea!
"Dadi."
After calling Dardy, William said that he wanted to visit the Isshin Gym in Seymour Shiki Village first, but Dardy had no objection to this, as long as Smoker's side could agree.
So, William called Smoker overnight, and Smoker, who was just about to rest, fell into a short contemplation after listening to William's words.
"Since you are going to visit, let's go with the goodwill of our Rogue Town Naval Base, it will not help us a lot if we can befriend a powerful swordsman."
