"Have you saved everyone?"

With short silver hair and two smoking cigars in his mouth, Smoker stood on the bow of the warship and asked a soldier beside him.

"Report to Colonel Smoker, a total of fifty-eight civilians have been salvaged from the sea, most of them have come to their senses, only a few are seriously injured, and they are still being rescued."

"That's right."

He took a sharp breath, and although Smoke's face was expressionless, a little worry flashed on his fierce face.

"Report on the casualties of this operation."

"The total number of casualties was seventy-four, of which two third-class soldiers were unfortunately killed on the spot by flintlock guns, and the remaining seventy-two were only slightly injured except for one who was seriously wounded." The soldier then reported.

The mortally wounded sailor was taken hostage by the one-eyed pirates in a fit of emotion when they were cornered by Smoker.

"By the way, what about Dusty?" Smoker then asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, Dusty, whose face was as black as if he had just returned from digging coal, suddenly ran out in a hurry, looking at Smoker with a very sincere expression.

"Colonel Smoker, please make sure you get that man in the emergency room to join the Navy!"

Smoker: ???

...

This is the end of the memories.

Fast forward to the present two years later.

"Vivian, good afternoon!"

Rogue Town Naval Base, inside the cafeteria.

As soon as Vivian sat down with a plate, he saw a middle-aged man in a black suit and a navy coat on his shoulders approaching him with his right hand raised.

Vivian: (눈_눈)

The man was named Papanov, fifty years old, and a major at the base in Rogue Town.

Yes, you heard it right, a fifty-year-old major.

Papanov is a guy with little talent, but he still relied on his own efforts and observation of words and feelings, and climbed all the way to the position of the current branch major.

His dream is to be promoted to the rank of colonel before he retires, and then get a good pension steadily, and live a leisurely life of planting flowers and drinking tea in a quiet and peaceful place like the East China Sea.

Of course, to realize such a dream, his own efforts alone are obviously not enough.

"Vivian, my men have heard about the 'Giant Blade Pirates', and tomorrow morning I will go to sea to carry out an arrest operation, do you want to come with me?"

"No, no." Vivian replied without thinking.

"I'm your direct boss, so if you don't go, you won't go? Believe it or not, I'll deduct your salary. ”

"You deduct it, there is not much money anyway."

Vivian spread his hands with an indifferent attitude.

Jun Cao's salary is only 350,000 Bailey a month, and if he doesn't occasionally want to smoke a few cigarettes, he has never only eaten in the cafeteria, and he really doesn't have much to use.

"You think I don't dare to deduct it?" Papanov's eyes widened.

"Did I say you wouldn't dare?"

Wei Wei'an put down his chopsticks, took out a handkerchief, wiped his lips, and then said unhurriedly: "It's just that before you deduct my salary, I think it's still necessary to remind you that I have applied for leave tomorrow." According to the military regulations of the Rogue Town base, soldiers are not to be deprived of leave unless there is a state of emergency, and violators will be fined or demoted if they are reported."

"Degraded?"

Papanov was so angry that his beard flew wildly, and he was just about to open his mouth to scold, when he saw Kuto also come over with a dinner plate at this moment, looked at him and said, "I'll go with you, Colonel Papanov." This guy is probably scared, and when he met the villains in the town yesterday, he was also so frightened that he apologized directly, which was a shame on our navy. ”

As soon as he thought of yesterday's events, Kuto felt angry, and he already labeled Vivian with labels such as "weak and incompetent" and "greedy for life and afraid of death".

However, Wei Wei'an just wanted to say "yes, yes, yes", but in the next second, the option immediately popped up in the field of vision.

[Option 1: Continue to ignore Papanov.] (Completion Reward: Random Plane Defense Skill x1)]

[Option 2: Agree to go to sea with Papanov.] (Completion Reward: Random Skill XP +2)]

Odd..

A slight look of confusion flashed across Vivian's face.

What danger can I do if I stay in Rogue Town?

Could it be that Papanov will still hold a grudge and wait for an opportunity to retaliate against me?

He thought so, and then shook his head again.

Papanov's character is very clear to him, he is timid and afraid not to say anything, and he has always been obedient to his superiors, even if a subordinate makes him angry, he will only scold or verbally threaten at most, and never make any radical behavior.

"Is it because of Luffy?"

It happened to be the beginning of 1522 in the Haiyuan calendar, but he remembered that it was around this time that the Straw Hats in the original book passed through Rogue Town.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was possible.

So Vivian immediately changed his tone and said to Papanov: "But for the sake of your age, I decided to sacrifice my vacation and reluctantly accompany you on a trip." ”

[You have selected option 2, Tinkerer XP +2]

Papanov suddenly showed a happy expression when he heard this, stepped forward and hugged Vivian's shoulders and said, "I know that you kid still knows how to respect your elders." ”

"Huh."

Vivian grinned and smirked.

Seeing this, Kuto, who was on the side, had a worse perception of Vivian.

Angry?

The navy in Rogue Town is really not mature at all.

...

"Vivian, I like you! Please also accept my thoughts. ”

On the way back to the dormitory, a female navy with a ponytail suddenly appeared from the front, holding a letter and a bag of homemade snacks in her hand, and handed it to Vivian very crampedly, and then lowered her head, blushing instantly.

Vivian: "......"

After two years at the Rogue Town base, it was not the first time he had encountered something like this confession.

No way, who calls themselves handsome?

Looking at the nervous and shy appearance of the female navy, at the same moment, three options popped up in Vivian's mind.

[Option 1: Accept the confession.] (Completion Reward: A Random Plane Name Knife)]

[Option 2: Accept the gift first, and then decline it privately.] (Completion Reward: Sword Skill XP +100)]

[Option 3: Stern refusal.] (Completion Reward: Base Attribute +1)]

"Uhhhh

Vivian tilted his head.

Although he originally wanted to refuse, but...

Why is it dangerous to say yes?

He couldn't figure it out.

So Vivian stepped forward and poked his face in front of the female navy.

"Am I handsome?" Vivian Road.

"Huh?"

The female navy, who didn't expect Vivian to ask such a question, was stunned for a moment, and then nodded shyly.

"Hmm."

"And do you think you're pretty?"

"Also.. You alright. ”

"Okay?"

Vivian let out a chuckle when he heard this, "Then you deserve to be with me too?" ”

[You have selected option 3 and will receive the reward: Spirit +1]

The air suddenly became quiet.

About five seconds later.

Syllable!

The female navy raised her hand and slapped Vivian's handsome face, then turned around and ran away crying.

Leaving Vivian standing in place with a stunned face, covering his left cheek, speechless for a long time...
