"Tomorrow is the day of public execution, right?"

Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel held his long knife and sat on the wall of Marinfando, looking at the dense warships surrounding the harbor from afar: "What a big scene, maybe this is the first time that all the elite navies have gathered in Marinfando, right?" ”

"After all, you're going to face Whitebeard, who is known as the strongest man in the world." There was a burst of smoke next to him, and the white-haired man was swallowing clouds and spitting out smoke with two cigars in his mouth: "I heard that this time the marshal of the Warring States even recruited the Seven Martial Seas to participate in the war?" ”

"Except for Jinping, all the other six have arrived in Marinfando, and Boya Hancock was picked up by me personally on the Nine Snake Island, which has no wind."

"Seven Martial Seas?" The man's tone was long: "It's not easy to deal with all of them, right?" ”

"The others don't know, but it was surprisingly smooth against Boya Hancock. I had prepared for the worst, after all, it was rumored that Boya Hancock was empty-eyed and reckless, even if it was normal to attack me directly. ”

"These scum don't want to lose the name of the Seven Martial Seas."

Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel frowned, and he could hear the dissatisfaction with the Seven Martial Seas system in the other party's tone, but he didn't follow the topic, but put aside the topic, raised his hand to fan the smoke in front of him, and said dissatisfiedly:

"Smoker, can't you smoke less cigars?"

"You spend most of your monthly salary on this, right?"

"No way, that's my hobby." Smoker ignored the flying squirrel's complaints, squinted his eyes, and said, "Moreover, as a person with the ability of smoke fruits, isn't it normal to smoke a little cigar on a regular basis?" ”

"When it comes to Devil Fruit abilities, you might as well spend more energy on cultivating domineering." The flying squirrel advised, "After you obtained this natural Devil Fruit, your cultivation of the Six Forms and Domineering Qi almost came to a standstill, right?" ”

"A true powerhouse doesn't need to rely on the ability of the Devil Fruit, only by cultivating domineering and swordsmanship to the extreme can he be qualified to stand on the top of this sea."

"Isn't it worthy of being a disciple of Master Zefa, a typical domineering supremacy?" Smoker said indifferently: "In my opinion, there is no difference between strength and weakness, just how to use it, whether it is the marshal of the Warring States or the three generals, aren't they all capable?" ”

"In my opinion, you can also pick a Devil Fruit that suits you." He laughed and said, "Wouldn't it be better to have one more means?" ”

"Only sheer strength can reach the pinnacle." The mole said: "Whether it is Lieutenant General Karp, or . . . Gore S. D. Roger, for them, the Devil Fruit means nothing other than giving them one more weakness. ”

"Speaking of which, you once participated in the capture of Gord K. Brown with Lieutenant General Karp. D. Roger's action, right? Smoker was immediately interested: "Have you seen them fight?" Are they really as strong as the legend suggests? ”

"It's been a long time since Lieutenant General Karp has gone all out."

Lieutenant General Mole yearning:

"Let me tell you that."

"If the name of the person who was publicly executed was not Potacas Brown. D. Ace, then the marshal of the Warring States would not have made such a big battle at all. ”

"There is no need to call up an elite navy, and there is no need to keep all the vice admirals and admirals on standby."

"In the face of the Whitebeard Pirates, only Lieutenant General Karp alone is enough!"

Smoker was stunned, "Although I never doubted Vice Admiral Karp's strength as a naval hero, is it really that strong?" ”

"If that's the case, why does Marshal Sengoku always send him some inconsequential tasks?"

Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel sighed: "Since the beginning of the Gore · After D. Roger's death, something happened. ”

"From that time on, Lieutenant General Karp . He looks at a lot of things more casually, and you should be able to see it from the fact that he is unwilling to be promoted to general. Lieutenant General Karp, on his own initiative, avoided certain things. ”

Smoker took a deep breath of his cigar, a little more gloomy on his face.

"I understand." He stood up: "It seems that this topic is over, and if we continue to talk about it, it will not be good to be heard." ”

"Let's eat, it's been a long time since I've eaten in the main cafeteria."

The mole also stood up, carrying a long knife, and said, "Your luck is good, today's dish is more abundant than ever." ”

"I'm afraid it's not luck." The two walked side by side, and Smoker's face was not good: "I hope it is the same as usual, after all, when I see those sumptuous dishes, I think that this may be the last meal for many soldiers." ”

"By tomorrow, I don't know how many people will die at the hands of the Whitebeard Pirates."

The mole was also silent, and it was not until he reached the door of the officer's canteen that he spoke, saying, "This is the indispensable price for justice. ”

There are many canteens on Marinfando, distributed in almost every corner, for the navy soldiers stationed in Marin to eat three meals a day, but there is only one officer's canteen.

The reason for separating the canteen used by ordinary soldiers from the canteen used by officers is not only because of the privilege of officers, but also because most ordinary soldiers are not so happy to eat in the same canteen as their superiors.

Of course, this kind of thing is the same even in the officers' cafeteria, after all, the officers are not so happy to dine with characters like the three generals or marshals. When eating, but when gossip is flying, no one wants to talk about the conflict between the Pheasant Commander and the Akainu Commander, and suddenly find that the other party is sitting behind them.

Fortunately, the officers' canteen is not crowded into one hall like an ordinary canteen, but has independent, large and small single rooms.

"Hahaha! Do I have this scar? It was cut by a man named Monka! ”

As soon as they walked in the doorway, they heard hearty laughter from a room, and they looked at each other.

"It's Lieutenant General Karp's voice, right? Who is Monka? Smoker frowned, "I haven't heard of a pirate named Monka. ”

"It's a petty officer of the East China Sea Branch. It has now been removed. Lieutenant General Mole was a little speechless:

"Lieutenant General Karp is still not shy about talking about his own troubles as always."

The two of them didn't bother Karp, but found a small room to sit down.

A Navy soldier in charge of the logistics of the canteen hurriedly came up and saluted.

"Today's staple food is freshly grilled sea kings from the windless zone, and in addition to that, tuna from the Chambord Islands, water meat from the water capital, and—"

"Let's get five hundred pounds of barbecue first." The mole waved his hand and interrupted the other party: "Then casually serve some side dishes." ”

"Is it still so edible?" Smoker lit two more cigars.

"It's just an appetizer." The mole glanced at him: "Tomorrow is a fierce battle, we need to replenish our energy. The cafeteria was well thought out, and the sea kings were actually dragged back from the windless belt, so there was no need to worry about not having enough meat to eat today. ”

At the mention of tomorrow's battle, the two fell silent again.

That is until a soldier walks into the room with a huge cart and salutes the two men with his hand raised.

On his arm, there was a black mark on the outer circle and the inner square that others could not perceive.

"Happy dining with the two chiefs!"
