Alabasta, offshore.

On a certain warship.

"Tina is very curious, Smoker, why did you appear in the Grand Line?

If you leave Rogge Town on your own initiative, you will be punished by the people above."

After saying that, she waved to Smoker and refused the cigar offered by him.

She hates this stuff.

I don’t know why these people like to smoke this so much.

"call!"

Smoker put the cigar in his arms, then leaned on the sofa and looked up at the top of the cabin. After blowing out a big puff of smoke, he said with some melancholy.

"I met a group of pirates. They broke my vow to be released in Rogge Town."

Looking sideways at the confused look in Tina's eyes, he put the cigar in his mouth, biting it with his teeth, and said.

Hearing Tina's questioning voice coming from the side, Smoker waved to her and said indifferently.

"call!"

He didn't really want to talk about this embarrassing thing, after all, the pirate escaped from his hands.

After saying that, Smoker crossed Tina, opened the hatch and came to the outside deck, quietly watching the large warship heading towards him.

The man rubbed his butt, then stood up from the ground, pointed at the bird's nose and shouted.

Just an hour ago, this guy suddenly came to his warship and asked him to do something. As a result, an hour passed without him asking him to do anything.

They are the true backbone of the navy. When the admiral is unable to move freely, they replace the navy headquarters to suppress the sea.

"well!"

The purpose of my visit this time is to cut off the route from Sentin Island to the outer sea and prevent Crocodile from escaping from the sea.

"Tina wants to know, what are you going to do next?"

As a contemporary of Tina, he also knew very well what Tina meant by the top lieutenant general.

Tina looked in the direction of Smoker's finger, and after seeing the warships on the sea outside, she spoke.

After looking at Smoker who asked him, Hezhong folded his arms in front of his chest, stared at Shengting Island not far away, and said.

Capturing Crocodile is one thing, but reducing civilian casualties in Alabasta is another.

"I'll leave that place in Rogge Town to others. Now I just want to capture that group of pirates."

Just bet your luck and see if you can meet that group of people."

"There is a high probability that I will continue to chase those pirates in the future.

Hearing this, He also looked away from Smoker.

Seeing the lieutenant general coming to her warship, Tina suddenly took two steps forward and smiled.

"Ah~"

Mr. 4's somewhat slow brain took a moment to react before he finally understood what Miss·Christmas meant.

Why is he laughing?

"So, you left Rogge Town on your own initiative, and then chased you to Alabasta?

Tina doesn’t understand why you would do something that will definitely be blamed by the superiors.”

The two of them turned to look out the window and saw two of the largest warships slowly approaching here.

He has been convicted of leaving his job without permission, so what else can be explained?

However, this almost confirmed the idea in his mind.

"What happened?"

This is the Navy's first operation against the Shichibukai. We must not alert the enemy in a hurry and must be more cautious.

Speaking of this, the guy who had just been knocked to the ground by the flying bird turned to look at the tall fat man standing behind him and gave instructions.

Then she restrained her aura, looked sideways at Tina, and said softly.

Then he stretched out his big hand and grabbed Asuka's shoulder, with a naive smile on his face.

And it is said that Alabasta now has a navy with a top-notch vice-admiral’s combat capabilities.”

But I just can't like it.

"Mr.4, drag him into the alley."

"The plan has begun, and there is no need to hide it from you now.

"Tina doesn't understand, what are you doing here with Tina?"

As the colonel of the headquarters, Smoker also knew the lieutenant generals of the headquarters. He originally thought that one of those veteran lieutenant generals would come this time, but he didn't expect that it was this one who came.

"Ha~"

But after a while, the headquarters will send a top lieutenant general to take command.

ten minutes later.

"Just the day before yesterday, we suddenly received an order from above, which ordered the warships near us to collectively come to Alabasta and prepare to block the waters near Sentin Island at any time."

Looking at Smoker's face, Tina sneered, then she walked straight to another chair, sat down, stared at Smoker and said.

At this moment, a heavy whistle woke up Smoker and Tina who were deep in thought.

Smoker rubbed his temples, recalling what Tina said in his mind, and couldn't help but frown.

The navy's big move this time must be related to Crocodile.

boom!

"Ouch!"

Feiniao looked at the person he knocked to the ground and said apologetically.

Looking at Smoker who stood up, Tina frowned and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

The other party smiled at the moment of death.

He didn't understand that smile very much.

In fact, he was also curious about which lieutenant general was sent from the headquarters.

This operation is related to the King's Shichibukai - Crocodile.

"Lieutenant General Ahe!"

Two top lieutenant generals came to Alabasta together.

Could it be related to the Shichibukai?

Apart from Crocodile, it was hard for Smog to think of anything else here that would allow his headquarters to send two top lieutenant generals.

"I'm not the supreme commander here, and I don't know much about what's going on here.

Having said this, he sat up from his chair, looked behind him at the island where Alabasta was, and continued.

at this time.

"When I arrived in Rogge Town at the beginning of that year, I made a bold statement and said that I would not let a pirate who landed in Rogge Town leave, but in the end he left.

The quality of this recent batch of young people is quite good.

"Actually, if a blind man bumps into someone, you should forgive him if he apologizes!"

Smoker breathed smoke into the air again, and said with some melancholy.

"Lieutenant General Ahe, what is Marshal Warring States' plan to do when he sends you here this time?

Help Alabasta put down the rebellion?”

And my coming to Alabasta this time was purely accidental."

What he has done recently has crossed the line.

"Kid, have you figured out how to explain it to Warring States?"

The corners of Smoker's mouth twitched twice.

After blowing out a smoke ring, he looked at the arriving lieutenant general and murmured to himself.

"Major General of the Headquarters, Asuka Kikuchi!"

After speaking, he shook his head and ended the topic.

Tina was standing nearby, looking at the changing expression on Smoker's face, and feeling the awkwardness in the air. She then looked at Lieutenant General He, changed the topic and asked.

After a moment of silence, Smoker raised his head and looked out at the sea through the window. He then pointed at the warship docked outside and asked.

However, this is not the most important thing.”
