In the spring of 1518, Marinfando, the Navy Headquarters, was in a conference room. Marshal, Warring States Period, Grand Staff Crane, Red and Yellow Green Generals, Skyler and Nurkic were in the conference room.

"So, whether it is the previous drought, the subsequent flood, or the people who exposed the dancing fans, are they this so-called Baroque studio?"

Seeing the information Aokiji had collected for several months, Aokiji was a little dissatisfied. He said helplessly: "I can't use more resources. The territory of Alabastan has been thoroughly monitored by the Baroque Studio.

Unless I am exposed, there are only so many clues that can be collected, but... what is certain is that this Baroque studio is definitely inseparable from Clockdal.

As for why the people in Baroque Studio can say so confidently that it has nothing to do with Clockdal..."

Speaking of this, everyone frowned. As a navy general, Aokiji had no doubt about his professional level. Under his interrogation, these members of the Baroque studio did not reveal any flaws...

Skyler said at this time: "It's very simple, that is, the members of the Baroque Studio are not clear about their relationship with Clockdal, just like the Night Emperor branch, and they don't know that their chief is me."

When Skyler said this, the Warring States eyes lit up a little. Yes, maybe it was that simple.

The Warring States nodded and said in agreement: "This view is very good. You can continue to investigate in this direction. Lieutenant General Skyler, do you have any other opinions?"

Skyler nodded, but did not answer immediately, but looked at Nurkic, then looked at Akainu. Nurkic understood instantly, took out a document and said:

"The Marshal of the Warring States Period and General Akainu, this is recommended by our Zhanye Detachment. The personnel entering the Sword Force, please take a look. Perhaps we can use the Sword Force to achieve this goal, and by the way, it will also give the team members a test.

”

Akainu nodded. The sword army had been in an orderly manner for more than a year, but the members of the Zhanye Detachment promised to have the ability of the Golden Fruit have not been heard of. At this time... it seems that they are willing to release it.

It's right.

"Major Drake? I seem to have some impression that I am a survivor of the Minion Island incident back then, but I remember that his talent does not seem to be high, and you will be included in the cooking team."

Looking at the files in his hand, the Warring States Period looked a little strange. Why did Skyler send a cook?

Seeing that the Warring States Period was a little suspicious, Skyler also explained: "Marty of the Warring States Period, I am not boasting about it. The popularity of the Zhanye Detachment is higher than any detachment in the headquarters.

Almost every member of the detachment is recorded in the archives of major forces, but there are only three teams, logistics, submarines, and cooking, which have not been noticed by many people.

So the candidates can only be selected from these three teams. Finally, the choice was Drake, because his justice has been tested for many years and has also been recognized by me.

As for the question of talent... Devil Fruits can always create miracles, doesn't they?"

Skyler finished speaking with a smile. The Warring States Period pondered for a moment, and nodded and said, "Okay, then follow your judgment and tell me what you want to do."

"It's very simple. Just lurk in. There may be no clues in the Baroque studio, but... there will always be clues in Alabastan. If it doesn't work in other places, then sneak into the rain feast!"

"How do you get close to Clockdal after diving in?"

"No, I don't plan to get Drake close to Clockdal. Just if Clockdal is not there, then his movement will be very convenient."

"You mean..."

"World Conference!"

Upon hearing this, the Warring States Period finally smiled because he knew that Skyler was not perfunctory to him, and that Skyler would finally take care of his emotions as an old man in his seventies.

This time, the plan against Clockdal was originally hidden from the world government, and Skyler planned to endure the World Conference in June.

At that time, as a model of the "advanced" Seven Warriors Sea, Klokdal will definitely attend the Seven Warriors Sea Conference, and by then, Alabastan will be empty.

As long as evidence of Clockdal's conspiracy was found during the World Conference, Skyler would probably take action directly on the Red Clay Continent.

In this regard, the Warring States Period did not doubt Skyler's courage. She dared to fight without reason, let alone when it was reasonable and well-founded.

Moreover, if the time is longer, it can also give Drake, a young man more time. The Warring States Period is not sure how strong Drake's ability is, but... it is always a good thing to have more time.

"Oh~The golden fruit is really an amazing ability~"

Just when the Warring States Period felt that the navy was full of hope, Kizaru's voice sounded. Kizaru's head was leaning on the shoulder of Akainu, whose face was covered with black lines, looking at the files in Akainu's hands.

Akainu's hands were trembling with anger, while Tsuki lowered his head and his forehead, his shoulders were trembling slightly, while Kizaru didn't know at all. Skyler smiled and said, "Genzaru, I heard that you have started calling yourself an old man recently.

?”

Hearing Skyler's words, Kizaru moved his head away from Akainu's shoulders, spread his whole body on a chair, and said, "Well~ the young people are so scary nowadays~ I'm afraid of pulling their hind legs.

~”

Obviously Kizaru was still a little uncomfortable with this claim, and his expression was a little strange when he spoke. Skyler looked at the crane who had finally restrained it and suddenly felt a little moved.

When she first came to the headquarters, Tsurumi had not yet claimed to be old. Akainu and Kizaru were the representatives of the new generation at that time, but now, both of them have entered the Mesozoic generation and have become the older generation.

Skyler estimated that by the time Ace was promoted to generals, her new generation leader would probably be included in the Mesozoic generation.

Mesozoic generation...it sounds very old.

And this day will not be too long. Maybe in October this year, when Luffy graduated from the recruits battalion, Ace will be promoted to a general.

The promotion of other generals may take at least four years of inspection, but this is not an obstacle for the monster. After all, Ace can complete one and a half years more tasks than other colonels in five or eight years.

But if Ace becomes a general, Akanu's subordinates will return to the point where no one is available. There is a lack of someone who can help him lead the detachment. Maybe he will have to talk about his love at that time and let Akanu agree to Ace's departure.

"Then if there is nothing else...you guys, let's go."

After discussing some details, Warring States Period stood up and said, everyone started to archive the documents, and then stood up. Just as Skyler was about to leave, Warring States Period suddenly said, "Skyler, wait a moment."

As soon as these words were said, not only Skyler, but almost everyone looked at the Warring States Period, but everyone's doubts were different.

He was puzzled that she didn't know what tasks needed to be handed over to Skyler in the Warring States Period, and Nurkic was puzzled that if it was a business, why didn't he, the adjutant, need to stay.

Akainu and Aokiji mainly follow the crowd, but Kizaru's expressions are much more exciting. The face with crooked mouths and slanted eyes is actually a bit straight at this time, which is almost impossible.

Although he was puzzled, Skyler turned around and said, "Nurkic, you can handle the task first."

"Yes! Sir!"

Nurkic saluted and was the first to leave. Kizaru directly followed him away from the conference room, his steps were a little hurried. Akainu and Aokiji didn't think much about it. They walked through the front door and the back door and left.

He frowned and looked at him. As a colleague and friend of the Warring States Period for so many years, He knew that the Warring States Period would probably not be because of official business, because the Warring States Period might not be so rigorous to others, but treat Skyler...

If it was involved in official affairs, the Warring States Period would definitely call her "Lieutenant General Skyler" instead of "Skyler". As the Crane thought of it, she thought of an abnormal situation.

That is... Zefa's performance throughout the year last year was a bit abnormal. Although Zefa no longer works at the headquarters, he still comes from time to time.

In the past few years, we must have mentioned new recruits during chats, especially those recommended by Zhanye Detachment, such as Luo, Ace and others. However, Zefa did not mention Luffy all year last year.

This is naturally impossible because Luffy is not outstanding enough. Although he does not care about the recruits in particular, Crane has the responsibilities of assigning recruits, so he will pay more or less attention, at least he has a ranking in his mind.

Luffy performed very well all year last year. Like the others recommended by Skyler, he has always occupied the top position in the elite camp. Even during the Chinese New Year this year, Luffy did not leave the headquarters, but his family and

The training ground is two points and one line.

It can be said that Luffy's talent is no less than anyone else, and his diligence is no less than anyone who is famous for his diligence, but Zefa just never mentioned him.

You know, even the son of Roger can praise him without any psychological barriers, let alone Kap's grandson, and never mention it... Maybe there is something that he doesn't know.

He looked at the two of them and thought of others in his heart. She found that her understanding of Marinfando was gradually weakening. She was not as calm as she used to be, and everything was under control.

‘Is it old... really old?’

Thinking back to the group of guys in the General Staff, from time to time, he would discuss the young man Nurkic who had only served as a senior staff officer for a year, he couldn't help but start to doubt it.

In particular, she carefully checked every work report of Nurkic. In addition to the first two weeks, there were some flaws. After that, even Crane had to admit that she could not compare with Nurkic.

It's done better.

In his early forties, a soldier may have reached the limit of progress and can only maintain his peak, but for a civilian, especially a staff officer, the growth period begins.

In other words... In He's opinion, she has no advantage compared to Nurkic, who is in her growth stage, which makes He suspect that she has begun to regress.

Warring States Period looked at the crane that had been frowning and asked, "Xiaohe, is there anything else?"

Wake up by the Warring States Period, He shook his head and said, "I'm just thinking about something, so I left first."

"Um."

After the crane left, Skyler also sat back in the seat just now. Warring States did not sit down, but paced in the conference room. After a while, he asked:

"Cap...will agree that Luffy is not a navy?"

"Oh? You know?"

Skyler was a little curious. The Warring States Period should not take care of the recruits. After all, the only thing the Warring States Period had to do was to write a speech and then award the recruits ranks according to Zefa's judgment at the graduation ceremony.

Seeing Skyler's expression, Warring States instantly knew what she was thinking, her face turned dark, and then said: "Although I can't pay attention to the recruits all the time, those are the future of the navy, I..."

"How did you find out?"

Skyler interrupted directly, and the Warring States Period turned darker. After holding it in for a long time, he said, "During the Chinese New Year, Zefa drank and told me what he said to me, and said that this was Cap's decision!"

"Then why don't you ask him directly?"

"That old bastard won't come back this year!"

Warring States Period said angrily, Skyler tugged the corners of his mouth. It seemed that Cap's domineering attitude was still strong, so strong that he predicted that there was such a big pit waiting for him in the headquarters.

No wonder when I told him the New Year ago, Cap actually said that he had been cruising too few times in recent years and had to take the detachment to review. He knew that something big happened to the headquarters.

Skyler smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Martyr of the Warring States Period, even if Luffy can't be a navy, the loss is not much. Although he can eat, he is just a drop in the bucket compared to the entire headquarters."

"That won't work! I tell you, that old guy Zefa is not that strict when he drinks."

Hearing the words of the Warring States Period, Skyler narrowed his eyes after sunglasses, and judged whether the Warring States Period was frightening her. Seeing her like this, the Warring States Period spoke directly: "Dorag."

Skyler finally nodded, and saw Skyler finally admitting that the Warring States Period grabbed the backrest of a chair, took a deep breath, and said, "Do you know what you are doing? Revolutionary Army! Is that the place where that child should go?
