"What, will you be in charge of the funeral?"

In the restaurant, Domino and Elli sat next to Vivian left and right, and Vivian, who was rare today, didn't want to cook at home, so although the things made in the store were much more unpalatable than those made by Vivian, the two girls were still very sensible and didn't say much, but just chatted with Vivian, who was in a bad mood, about work.

"Uh-huh."

Vivian nodded, and then poured wine into his mouth as he picked up the rice in his mouth.

"It's a little too inhumane, such an innocent person has to follow that."

Domino originally wanted to say "damn Draco", but because there were a lot of people in the hotel, he had to change his words: "Do you have to be buried with that person?" ”

"This is an order issued by the World Government, and even if I am now a general, there is still no way to disobey it." Vivian Road.

"What about the navy that accompanied the funeral, won't they fight back after learning of their upcoming fate?"

In Domino's opinion, since he knows that he is about to die, it is better to break the jar and break it, rebel and defect collectively or something, there is no way that someone will stay stupid and wait for death, right?

"Fight back? Those who tried to fight back had already been subdued in advance, and the rest were all people who willingly accepted this fate. ”

"How so?!"

Domino and Ellie both showed puzzled expressions and said, "How can anyone be willing to wait for death?" ”

"That's because... Those people have family rolls. If the government threatens you to bury your family in the ground if you dare to resist, will you fight back desperately? ”

Vivian swallowed the chewed rice in his mouth, and continued in a mocking tone.

As the words fell, Domino and Ellie fell into a long silence.

Do you threaten each other's life and death with your family?

It's no different from a brute.

"Not only that, on this basis, I promise you that I will help you leave a very generous pension for your family, and tell your family that you died in honor of battle, and it is coercion and temptation, and some hard-working people who joined the navy to support their families in Hukou naturally have a high chance of agreeing."

There is no mistake

No way, don't agree, the whole family will die with you, promise to die only one of you, and the rest can get a lot of compensation, as long as they don't have any feelings for their parents and relatives, they will almost choose the latter.

After all, being born in such a deformed world, sometimes, it may be much, much better to die than to live.

There was a sudden silence at the dinner table, except for the sound of Vivian still eating and drinking.

Until half an hour later.

"Hiccup!"

Vivian hiccuped, then stood up and said, "Let's go." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Lieutenant General Tsuru said, today's Sengoku seniors and Karp seniors will all come to my promotion ceremony."

...

G1 Headquarters Base.

Training ground.

As far as the eye could see, there were tens of thousands of navy officers in formal uniform, either carrying flintlock spears on their shoulders or sabers pinned to their waists, neatly arranged into dozens of squares, and their eyes were extremely solemn and solemn projected on the high platform in front of them.

And at the same moment, above the high platform.

Former Admiral Warring States, as the representative of the award ceremony, held a medal representing the highest honor of the Navy under the gaze of countless navies on the scene, and walked up to Vivian, who was standing straight.

"Alfred Vivian, from today onwards, officially becomes the new Admiral under the name 'Thunder'. He is also the youngest admiral in the history of the Navy! ”

A naval colonel held a microphone in front of the stage and announced loudly.

The words fell, and with the warm applause that rang out at the scene, Wei Wei'an wore a cloak of justice, a suit and leather shoes, and asked the Warring States to personally put on a medal for him, and the award ceremony reached a climax, and a large number of fireworks and firecrackers that had already been arranged were suddenly sprayed into the sky.

Directly in front of the venue, a group of media reporters who were invited by the Navy to witness this moment also set up the "spears and cannons" they carried with them and began to press the shutter frantically.

The other side.

Looking at this historic scene, Smoker held two cigars in his mouth and said softly: "That kid, he really became a general of the navy..."

I still remember that more than four years ago, when Vivian was rescued by him and Dusty on the pirate ship, he was so panicked that he seemed to be still vivid. In the blink of an eye, it's only been less than five years, and the little ghost who doesn't even know how to use a knife has grown to the point where he can be a general...

Time flies so fast.

I sighed in my heart.

And Dusty, who was standing beside him, looked at Vivian's standing figure with burning eyes, and his heart was even more mixed.

The boy who was once rescued by her, and even needed her to protect him, has now stood at that height?

That he.. Do you still need me?

The distance between us is getting farther and farther away, right?

As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't help but lower her head, and her mood began to become more and more depressed.

But who knows that it is at this time.

"Smoker. Lieutenant General. ”

With a document bag in her arms, Ellie timidly appeared in front of Smoker.

Smoker and Dusty looked at her at the same time, and because Vivian often traveled with the woman, they immediately recognized her at a glance.

"You are. Vivian's fiancée, Ellie? Smoker said.

He'd heard the story of Vivian and the two female navies, although before he heard the story, he had always thought that Dusty and Vivian were a couple, but now it seems that he should have thought too much.

"Hmm." Ai Li nodded, and then in the slightly puzzled eyes of the two, she handed the document bag in her hand to Smoker's hand, "This is what Vivian asked me to pass on to you, he said that after you read the contents, if you decide to help him, you will go to his office early tomorrow morning to meet with him." ”

"Help him?"

Smoker took a puff of his cigar and took the paper from Ellie's hand.

"Hmm."

Eri answered again, and then ran away as fast as she could.

Leaving Dusty behind, looking at the back of Ai Li disappearing in the distance, he couldn't help but muttered to himself for a while: "That girl, it's so recognizable." ”

The other side.

Smoker immediately opened the bag in his hand as if no one was around.

And when he saw the letter paper inside, his eyes suddenly widened and he was stunned on the spot.

"Lieutenant General Smoker, what's wrong with you?" Dusty asked.

"Vivian, that kid. . . It's really bold. Spat out another puff of smoke rings, Smoker stuffed the letter back into his file bag, and couldn't help but sigh.
