Chapter XVI, Alabastan
The reception banquet was set up in the school grounds of the naval base, where tables, chairs and feasts were already set up.
"Hahahaha, this rum in Rogue Town is still as strong as ever, better than the wine of the Great Voyage!"
On the main seat, Karp grabbed a whole bottle of rum and drank booze, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Smoker sat next to him.
"If you like, I'll have a few more boxes delivered."
"Oh? That's a good feeling! Hahahaha, that old guy in the Warring States of the Ministry controls me to drink every day! β
Drinking a drink from the air, he didn't like the taste of wine very much.
"That's also for your body."
"Body? My body, old man, is so strong! When Lao Tzu and Roger fought for wine, they never lost! β
Smoker nearly choked.
"Ahem!"
Empty speechless.
"Don't spread the word about this, you're a navy."
"Hmph, that's why Lao Tzu is the most annoying of this, don't talk about it, by the way, although I didn't catch the red nose and the dragon, but the headquarters thinks that you have made a merit in this reconnaissance, and let you go back to Marin Fando to participate in the promotion and award, and be promoted to colonel."
Smoker raised his glass.
"Then congratulations to Brother Kong, we will be at the same level in the future."
Dusty was also shocked.
"16-year-old colonel. A step further is the brigadier ... That's amazing! β
Clinking glasses with Smoker.
"Where, it's just luck, but I won't go back for the time being, I haven't been out for a long time this time, and there are still some things that haven't been done."
Karp plucked his nostrils.
"Feel free, it's just a ceremony anyway, the headquarters has already raised your level, speaking of which, that guy from the Warring States has been having a headache about Klockdahl recently."
"Crockdahl?! That King of the Seven Martial Seas?! β
Hearing Dusty's exclamation, Karp showed disdain.
"What kind of bullshit Qiwu Sea, isn't it just a brand made by that group of garbage Tianlong people, heh, legal plundering rights, I'm phew!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.
Karp reacted and patted his head.
"Ahh This cannot be said! You just don't say it! β
Smoker looked at the sky in shock, and his eyes seemed to ask if Karp was usually so brave?
Who knows what to say.
"It's meant to be a garbage man."
"Poof!!"
A kind of garrison cadre sitting next to him squirted out all the wine in his mouth, and Karp said that these are at least heroes, you are a little lieutenant colonel, even if you are a colonel now, you are not qualified to say it!
Sora calmly took a pair of chopsticks and stuffed vegetables into Paimon's mouth next to him.
"I'm talking about the position of His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas."
"Whew..."
Although it's not good to openly comment on the Seven Martial Seas, it's better than scolding the Celestial Dragons.
Karp happily slapped the table.
"Hahaha, it's still your kid's taste for me! Come on my boat! β
"Then that old man in my house will have to trouble you."
"Cut. . . The guy in the Warring States period is just too cautious, he has to think too much about everything, and he doesn't feel comfortable living. β
I don't know how to do it, don't look at the Marshal of the Warring States is very beautiful, but as a disciple, he can often see the sad face of the Warring States alone in the office, it can be said that the Navy has more face than the pirates, and the Warring States occupy a great credit.
"But somebody has to do it, doesn't it? The old man thinks a lot, so that the people can take a breath in this troubled world. β
Karp was reluctant to continue talking about these topics and interrupted.
"By the way, Empty Boy, are you going to Orange Town next?"
Empty shrug.
"Canceled, I originally wanted to copy the naval cadres over there, I suspect that they have colluded with the pirate Aaron, but since Aaron and his gang were served by the Straw Hats, and the interrogation has also come out, Brigadier General of the 77th branch has retaken over there, and the original 16th branch colonel rat has been put in a cell."
"Tsk, there are really a lot of these scum, and so is that Colonel Mocha, this trip is going to run a little more, so where are you going to go next?"
After thinking about it, he decided to tie up Crockdahl first, he with a water slime, it can be said that he is the same as Luffy restraining Anilu, and the most important thing is that there is a garrison of the revolutionary army over there, if he can rescue the king of Alabastan in advance and gain his friendship, it is not impossible to find him to develop his own power together, and then get in touch with the revolutionary armyγγγγγ
"Smack!"
In an instant, Sora slapped his thigh.
"Rub! Dragons are really scary... β
Sora swears, he is really not a person who is anti-bones, it is definitely the dragon's problem, he was hypnotized by him unconsciously, everything is the dragon's fault.
Karp looked at Sora strangely.
"As for it, a dragon scared you like this?"
Empty nod.
"This person is terrible."
The others thought that Sora was scared by the dragon, and they didn't pay much attention to it, after all, Sora was still very young, and it was understandable that he was scared by the world's most vicious criminal.
Smoker was a little sorry.
"It's because I'm too impulsive, otherwise I wouldn't have let you collide with the dragon head-on."
"No, it's a small problem, old man Karp, I'm going to go to Alabastan to have a look, just in time to meet that Seven Martial Seas Crockdar."
Karp said.
"Then you wait for my ship to be repaired, you didn't bring your fleet out, and that little broken ship can't cross the windless belt, Crockdahl, hmph, it's not a good person, you kid wants to raid his house, take me with you, and give him a nest."
Sora hurriedly shook his head, joking, he was going to make a revolution... Bah! It's to engage in a career, how can it be possible to let Karp follow.
"No, I'll just go over and inspect normally, just go to the Red Clay Continent, and besides, can you stop talking about raiding your home all the time? Talking like I'm some bad guy. β
"Hahahaha, isn't it? Isn't your name for the prisoner from the house!? Let me tell you, this kid was in the first half of the great voyage, but he became famous, at the age of 13, he entered the name of the Warring States, and at the age of 14, he began to raid his home, pirates, chaotic parties, and even a navy that violated discipline, caught one and copied it directly to death, even if it was a dog, he told people that he was a traveler who loved to travel, but others privately called him a prisoner, hahahahahaha, do you mean it. β
Smoker stood up with his cup in his hand.
"Then I really want to see the excitement of the Great Voyage, Lieutenant General Karp, I ask to go to the Great Voyage, the Straw Hats and Bucky Gang have all escaped from me, I can't escape the blame, and I ask for your permission, I will personally capture them back!"
Karp grunted and poured a bottle of wine.
"What are you doing with me, Lao Tzu doesn't care about this, isn't he free, he is now a colonel patrol officer, he can approve it."
Smoker turned to look at Sora, his eyes full of seriousness.
"Brother Kong! Please approve it! β
Sora also got up and clinked glasses with Smoker.
"Of course you can, Brother Smoker's ability is a bit condescending in the East China Sea, I will report to the headquarters when I go back, it will take about a month to process, after all, Rogue Town needs a garrison commander, and I have to wait for the transfer."
"A month...
Sora laughed.
"Don't worry, the Straw Hats are not so easy to admit defeat, although they are also very young, but my feeling tells me that there must be a fate between you to meet."
One month, almost the time Luffy and them arrived in Alabastan, can take the special channel of the navy, directly skip the first few islands and go directly to Alabastan, he is ready to use this month to make a time difference, take down Klockdal in advance, and at the same time he also has a series of plans to increase the bounty of Lao Sha's stagnation.
"Since Brother Kong said so, then I will wait for news from my brother, and look forward to our future encounter on the Great Route."
Karp opened another bottle of wine and came over.
"Hahahaha! It's so good, young people's agreement, come, do it! β
