Chapter 3, Colonel of the Headquarters
"Ah, I'm so full~ Sure enough, I'm happiest when I'm eating."
Paimon patted his stomach in satisfaction, six of the seven plates on their table were empty, and half a plate of vegetables was left for the last stir-fried season.
Sora picks up a piece of carrot and reaches out to pinch Paimon's little face.
"You haven't moved a bite of vegetables! Mouth! ”
Paimon covered his mouth.
"Hmm! No, I'm full! ”
"You have to eat, you can't supplement vitamins for a long time, and it's easy to get scurvy."
"Woohhh
He forcibly shoved half a plate of vegetables into Paimon's mouth, and poured himself a glass of water.
"Hmph, I only got sick last year, and it was caused by you not eating vegetables, so you forgot?"
Paimon is more like a living life than a system, with feelings, ideas, and illnesses and injuries, and over the years, Paimon has become his closest partner in the empty heart, and he has never regarded Paimon as a tool.
"But people don't like to eat vegetables...
Empty got up and untied the hemp rope tied to the railing.
"Let's go, go see the colonel of the headquarters, and ask the old man for money in an instant."
Hearing the money, Paimon instantly became excited.
"It's coming!"
The two of them are very eye-catching on the road, whether it is the cloak behind them, the flying Paimon, and the pirates tied together in white, they are all characters who pull the wind.
"Bang!"
This is, a thin man with a yellow turban ran out of the corner next to him and crashed into the air.
"Ahh I'm sorry... Navy!!!! ”
He saw the cloak behind the empty body, and his eyes were almost frightened.
After seeing the man's distinctive long nose, Sora instantly turned his gaze.
"Paimon, let's go."
"Huh?"
"Let's go."
There was no doubt that the man was the sniper of the Straw Hats, the son of the red-haired pirates Jesus, Usopp.
Sora's pace quickened a lot, and he kept recalling the plot.
"Usopp is here. That means Luffy and they're already on the island... Tsk, I've been in the Navy Headquarters for four years, and I almost forgot about this stubble, I'm in trouble, I have to slip away quickly. ”
In his memory, Luffy was not strong in this period, and he thought that he could defeat Luffy in this period now.
But he didn't dare to move, because on this island, I am afraid that an extremely terrifying existence has landed on the island.
Leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon!
It was a man who had a headache when his master Warring States mentioned it, and single-handedly founded the revolutionary army to fight against the world government.
Sora didn't want to have anything to do with the number one enemy of the world government right now, he was eating a public meal now, and he was still a little famous in the Navy Headquarters.
If Long suddenly wanted to make Sengoku uncomfortable and catch himself, his own strength would not be able to run away at all.
Quickly came to the Rogge Town Naval Base, and after showing his patrol officer's letter, he was respectfully invited into the base building.
"Knock knock!"
The lieutenant who led the way knocked twice on the door, and a strong cough was heard from inside.
"Ahem. Who? ”
"Colonel Smoker! It was the patrol officer of the headquarters who came. ”
"Squeak."
The door opened, and a puff of cigar-scented smoke poured out of the room.
"Ahem!"
Paimon's tears were about to cough up when he couldn't stand the smell, and he put his empty hand on the hilt of his sword, and a slight cold air blew out, freezing the smoke into tiny ice particles and falling to the ground.
"Huh?"
With a slight suspicion, the smoke cleared, and a tall, white-haired man stood in the doorway.
Sora looked up at the man who was a head taller than herself.
"Hello, Colonel Smoker, I didn't know what to bring to you when we met for the first time, so I brought some pirates to you as a greeting gift."
Smoker took two cigars in his mouth and looked at Paimon.
"Blonde imp, white-haired elf... It's you, come in. ”
He waved his hand, and the lieutenant had just consciously retired.
Sora entered the room with Paimon, and strangely enough, there was still a lot of smoke in it that hadn't dispersed, but he never got any way close to Paimon.
Smoker returned to his office chair and lifted Erlang's legs comfortably.
"Patrol officer of the headquarters, air colonel, I should be right."
Sora sat down across from Smoker and nodded.
"It's here, Chief Smoker, it's rude to come here rashly."
"Huh."
Smoker snorted, then pulled a stack of papers out of the drawer and threw it on the empty desk in front of him.
"This is the financial report of Rogue Town in the past few years, and there are some arrest records, Your Excellency Patrol Officer, take a look."
It is the duty of the patrol officer to accept the reports of the major naval branches, but when they went to inspect them in the past, most of the admirals stationed in the navy were a little shirking, and it was the first time that Smoker had been so bold.
There is no hypocrisy, although he knows that Smoker is a person, but he still has to do the work that needs to be done, otherwise he will not be able to go back.
"Paimon, Shadow Worm."
"Give!"
Out of thin air, Paimon pulls out a small snail and hands it to Sora, a special phone bug used to record images.
Smoker looked at Paimon in surprise.
"White-haired imp."
Hearing Smoker shout at himself, Paimon was shocked, mainly because Smoker looked a little scary and had the temperament of an underworld boss.
"Dry. . . Do! ”
"You're also a Devil Fruit Ability?"
"Paimon isn't a Devil Fruit powerhouse, he's a Devil Fruit user."
Sora said as he recorded the report.
"Huh? What do you mean? ”
"The new technology of the Navy Headquarters can eat Devil Fruits for items, and Paimon's cloak is a special equipment that eats space fruits."
Smoker was stunned.
"Vegapunk?"
Kongfei quickly finished recording the report of Rogue Town, and returned the file to Smoker, he couldn't go into detail about Paimon's matter, just throw the pot to Vegapunk, anyway, he wouldn't show up once in 10,000 years.
"Well, Sir Smoker, I've taken a look here, although the financial expenditure is a bit large, but it is a reasonable expense, just go back and check the accounts with the database of the headquarters, I have stamped every page of documents, be careful not to lose it."
"Well, I won't bother the two of you if it's okay, I think I've been managing Rogue Town very well over the years, you can take a look."
Sora originally wanted to go shopping, but when he thought that the revolutionary was here, he just wanted to hurry up and get out of the way.
"No, we have other tasks, Chief Smoker, can I borrow a phone bug? When our phone bug came, we encountered waves, soaked in seawater, and couldn't use it for the time being. ”
Smoker placed the phone bug he had on the empty desk.
"Please."
"Thank you."
"Colonel Smoker, no! The latest information says that there is a man named Monchi. D. Luffy's 30 million bounty pirates are about to land on the island soon! ”
A soldier ran over in a panic to report that in the East China Sea, a bounty of 10 million can be regarded as a sea thief, and 30 million is a huge amount of money, which also shows the strength of the enemy.
Smoker looked unhappy.
"What are you doing? Don't you see the chief here? ”
"Uhhhh I'm sorry.. ”
Smoker stood up.
"Air Colonel, it's rude, I'm going to deal with some things, Rogue Town is the starting and ending place of that, there are always some unsightly scum who like to come over."
Null means understanding.
"Understood, Chief Smoker has worked hard."
"Well, then, I'll take my leave."
After Smoker left, Kong's calm expression changed instantly.
"Paimon! Make a list of what we need to buy, and we'll be there when I get the money! ”
Paimon is still out of the picture.
"Huh? Is it so urgent? Didn't you say you were going to take a good look around Rogue Town? ”
"The plan has changed, hurry up and take inventory."
