"You seem to be running towards the Shampoo Islands a lot lately..."

Qingzhi leaned on the recliner, with one leg raised and placed on the other thigh. He sat upright and faced the silver-haired man who came to report with a lazy attitude. He used a slightly meaningful expression.

He said to Lucas——

"That place is a mixed bag, so you'd better not get too involved. After all, the Warring States Period finally suppressed your 'disrespect' to the Tianlong people before and prevented them from fermenting."

It was also thanks to the fact that the female Draco who caused the trouble at the time was still lying down and unable to get out of bed, and the enemy concentrated all her anger, so she was so distracted that she ignored the 'disrespect' that Lucas had shown her.

But after all, the Chambord Islands are places where the Celestial Dragons often come and go. If they bump into each other again one day, it won't be so easy to fool them.

Qingzhi changed the topic and suddenly asked: "Do you have anyone important there?"

"I saw a cute little princess there recently."

Lucas said in a tactful tone: "I am a little worried about her situation, so I always can't help but investigate it in my spare time."

"...Teacher Zifa is right, you are too kind."

Qingzhi sat up straight and put his hands on the table to support his chin. The position of the backlight made most of his face blend into the shadows, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment.

"But for a navy who occupies a high position, this is a fatal weakness."

"I'm just fulfilling my duty as a navy."

Lucas' back is straight and his expression is calm. The faith he displays is like a cedar that can stand firm despite being hit by heavy snow.

"Punishing evil and promoting good, and extending a helping hand to people in need, this is what the navy should do.

On the contrary, some of the navy who are stationed in such an important area of ​​​​the Chambord Islands have done things that make me, a fellow navy, extremely ashamed. I feel particularly sorry that people like them can still bear the word 'justice'."

Lucas still holds grudges against the navy man who dared to say such disgusting words in front of a little girl.

"... Forgive me, how dare you take the initiative to mention this matter? Why don't you just pretend it never happened?"

Qing Zhi's words were full of hints, "Although you already have a reputation at sea, you have not yet established a firm foothold in the Navy Headquarters. There are some conflicts that cannot be directly put on the table."

"So I only mentioned it to you, General Aokiji."

Lucas tilted his head and showed an innocent smile, "As early as when I was studying with Teacher Zifa, I have always admired General Qing Pheasant's demeanor, so in front of such a tolerant and gentle boss like you, I still want to

Show others a more honest face.”

Qingzhi was silent for a while, and then asked: "...from whom did you learn such terrible official talk?"

He has extraordinary strength and talent but possesses the purest and most sincere heart - this is what Zaifa told Qing Pheasant.

After getting along with Lucas for a while, these descriptions can indeed be applied to this silver-haired beauty, but if you tell Aokiji that this person has no intentions, Aokiji will not believe it.

"I learned it from the person I love the most."

The smile on Lucas' face seemed to be brighter. He put his right hand on his heart and said piously: "Although it sounds a bit official, this is indeed my true thought."

At this time, Lucas is like a wolf king in sheep's clothing in the eyes of Aoki Pheasant. If you don't offend him, he will act like a magnanimous king and won't have any problems with you, but

If the territory he insists on is violated, he will definitely transform into the most ferocious beast.

If it was really because of the other party's strong sense of justice that he had a scheming mind, the retribution would probably fall on him in the end.

Qingzhi sighed...it was really useless to worry.

"Since you are prepared, I don't care."

After confirming that the other party's will is not a lamb to be slaughtered, Qingzhi chose to let it go, "I don't care about your interpersonal relationships. As long as some things are not so troublesome that I need to come out to wipe your ass, you can do whatever you want."

It means that Lucas has an ambiguous relationship with a little girl who may be an accomplice of the criminal. Aokiji will never ask about it again, at least on the surface, he will not bring it up again.

It’s hard for Lucas.

They just want to protect that poor little girl, so what's wrong with that?

"Thank you for your wisdom. I am extremely lucky to be assigned to work beside General Aokiji."

Lucas laughed.

"No need to call me general."

Qing Pheasant replied: "Maybe in a few years, you will be able to replace me."

"This statement is too exaggerated."

Lucas smiled helplessly, "I don't have any ambitions for things like power and status."

...In other words, if you have it, my position will really be insecure, right?

Qingzhi did not think that the other party was talking big words. He asked with interest: "Don't you want to be a general? If you want to be a general, I can completely give up my seat to you."

Aokiji doesn't care about things like power. The reason why he takes over... is simply because if he wants things to develop the way he wants, he must have the consciousness to make efforts and sacrifices.

It just so happens that Lucas' concept of 'justice' is recognized by Aokiji. If this person can be in a high position, he will definitely be able to do many things that Aokiji cannot do.

——Qingzhi had this kind of intuition inexplicably, so he made such a test.

And his thoughts seemed to be seen by the young man in front of him.

"It's not okay to be lazy."

Lucas had a sly smile in his eyes, "I still hope there are more marines like Mr. Aokiji."

"The documents I submitted should be corrected as soon as possible, General."

Lucas reminded: "If you run away again, I will be angry."

"...Are you the devil?"

Because of the ‘prompt’ from such a reliable subordinate, in recent days, Aoki Pheasant has not been able to go out fishing during work hours.

He misses the daily routine of riding a bicycle on the sea so much...

Seated in the office, Qing Zhi shed bitter tears under the kind eyes of his subordinates.

General Kizaru, who continued to fish next door, sent a mocking congratulatory message.

"...We're still offering a reward after all."

While supervising Qing Zhi's correction of documents, Lucas picked up two new reward lists that were randomly placed on the top of his desk. The two figures captured by the camera were clearly two people that Lucas was familiar with.

Lucas curiously asked Aokiji, who had gone to a meeting in the morning, "Have you decided to launch a worldwide wanted manhunt?"

As for the case of Enichi Jiguo and Tong Mo beating up the Celestial Dragons, the people above seemed to intend to suppress it. After all, such aliens who went against the world's nobles and defeated the generals were very popular with some forces. The world government also wanted to suppress them.

Let's minimize the impact of this incident.

However, the Tianlong people themselves refused to settle the matter. Do they really think that the masses are on their side?

Whether to place a reward on the two men and the amount of the reward are also issues that have been discussed by high-level officials in the past few days.

Now, this issue has finally come to an end, and the result of several days of discussion is... a reward.

It's really hopeless.

The efficiency of doing things like this made Lucas sigh. Instead of sitting at the desk discussing these things, it is better to use the time to do more practical things. It is really pedantic and unseemly.

"This bounty, considering the level of a newcomer, is really incredible."

Qing Pheasant sighed: "In the beginning, I sacrificed the Celestial Dragon to the sky, but the sea will not be peaceful in the future."

"I don't think they are the kind of people who like to cause trouble."

Lucas looked at the reward list and chuckled, "Besides, this reward, in my opinion, is still low..."

——

"Hahaha, as expected, you are the masters who can't settle down."

Beckman held two reward bills and laughed happily at the phone bug, "There are too many uncertainties in the Chambord Islands. We are still betting on when we will see you in the newspapers. Thank you for me."

Yuanyi and Tongmo, Lai, thanks to them, I made a fortune."

"Then you spend more money to treat everyone to drinks, right?"

Listening to the shouting and clinking of glasses coming from the other end of the phone, Rai already guessed what was going to happen next, "You guys are really just watching the fun and don't think it's a big deal."

"Although the newspaper didn't mention it, I know that Tong Mo defeated that Akainu."

Beckman, "After everyone found out about this, they were so happy that they held a party for three days and three nights."

"I'm just looking for a reason to drink myself."

This morning's newspaper gave a summary of the attack on the Champaign Islands a few days ago by the Draco. The newspaper published the faces and names of the two masterminds and criminals, and also offered a reward. Congratulations to Rai.

Because of this incident, God was treated like a notorious pirate.

The young man with a single ponytail, holding a katana in his hand, turned his back to the camera and looked back as if he was feeling something. He exposed half of his face and also showed the flame-like markings on his forehead in the photo, and his background was a raging fire.

It seems contradictory to his water-like cold and transparent eyes, but it blends together strangely.

——The Ronin samurai succeeds the country and has a bounty of 72 million beli.

The man with long white oak hair is facing the camera, his gorgeous and noble golden fan unfolded to cover the lower half of his face. His strange and beautiful colorful eyes are the highlight of the whole photo, broken ice crystals floating in the air.

It overlaps with the position of the pupils, giving these magnificent gem eyes a hazy sense of mystery and danger.

Ice Apostle Tong Mo - Bounty of 135 million Baileys.
