"Skeller Jiang~ You're in a bad mood~"

At the graduation ceremony of the recruits, the Warring States Period was awarding ranks to batches of naval forces, while Kizaru looked at Skyler, who was clearly squinting but was sitting extremely straight.

Skyler was awakened by Kizaru's words, blinked his eyes and focused his eyes again. Then he remembered what Kizaru had just said, and replied: "Just think about today, I became the Mesozoic, as old as you yesterday.

You said, can I get better?"

Hearing this, Kizaru showed a crooked smile, but he didn't say anything. However, Aokiji, on the other side of Kizaru, suddenly shook, woke up, and then continued to sleep.

Kizaru twisted his body and looked at the team of recruits who had not yet climbed to the high platform to award ranks. Seeing that behind Zefa was not Luffy, the most outstanding Luffy in the past two years, but the fur child, a hint of confusion appeared on his face.

However, when he saw that neither Skyler, Cap, Warring States, Zefa, or even Akainu did not show any doubt, Kizaru seemed to have figured out something and sat back loosely again.

At this time, there were only two people who couldn't understand, that is, Ace and Luo, who were about to be promoted to general after the new recruit was awarded the title. They were like beginners who were keeping a look, looking around.

The two people who could not find Luffy even though they could turn their eyes on Bebo and kept hinting at Bebo with their eyes. Bebo turned his head, as if he understood the meaning of the two, and shrugged in confusion.

In fact, Beppu discovered Luffy's absence earlier, and he had known it half a month ago, because Luffy no longer appeared in the training ground or cafeteria, which was almost impossible.

During the later assessment, Bebo also discovered this, but for Luffy, he did not refer to this point, and Zefa and other instructors did not show any abnormality.

Just like... Luffy has not joined the recruits in the past two years. If Bepp hadn't confirmed from the recruits of the same period that Luffy had indeed trained with them for two years, Bepp would have doubted himself.

But... Luffy just disappeared. He even asked the instructor and Chief Instructor Zefa, but... they all agreed that without Luffy, they would not say this name again in the future.

It was like an eraser in the dark, erasing Luffy's existence from the navy.

Seeing that the new recruits were coming up to receive the title of the Warring States Period, Bebo was extremely helpless, and finally he was pushed up, but he was only awarded the title and became a lieutenant colonel.

After all, when Luffy was there, he could open up more than one level, so Luffy was the current class. The unreliable graduation was the colonel, and Bepp could only follow one person.

Luffy did not participate in the assessment, and it seemed that this ending did not change. Perhaps in Zefa's mind, the first one of this session should be left to Luffy.

After the Warring States Period awarded Bebo the title, he originally planned to let Bebo deliver a speech. After all, the best graduates in previous years had this benefit.

But perhaps Bebo didn't regard himself first at all, and gave a salute, then walked out toward the scene. Warring States Period was stunned for a moment, and when he realized it, his face trembled.

He was about to call Bepp back, but Bepp had already reached the end and was gesturing with Robbie, who was about to take the stage below.

Seeing this scene, many generals laughed, while other navy members did not dare to laugh. After all, the graduation ceremony was a relatively important occasion and we should not lose our composure.

The Warring States Period was speechless, and held her glasses, then said, "It seems... our Lieutenant Colonel Bebo is a navy who is more practical. In comparison, I feel a little ashamed."

He was very stiff to find a repair, but the generals still applauded very sensible. After all, no matter how stiff it is, it was the leader's speech.

However, some generals who have been paying attention to the situation of the recruits because of the lack of personnel in the detachment, also showed a look of confusion. After all, the highlight of this generation, Gap's grandson Luffy did not show up at all.

Therefore, many generals turned their attention to Cap. Although Cap had just rushed back this morning, he had already learned the news from Skyler, so he was also a master in dissatisfaction at this time.

Seeing that there was no trace on Cap's face, the others also looked at Skyler. After all, everyone knew the relationship between these two and Luffy. However, Skyler also turned into a wax figure at this moment, quietly did not move at all.

It’s a pity that they were still a little far away from Skyler. If they were sitting in Kizaru, they could see Skyler closing his eyes and falling asleep again.

Skyler is not sleepy, but it’s boring here. The Monkey family has a must-learn skill, which is to find an opportunity to fall asleep no matter whether the time is right or not.

Even if the next one was the rank ceremony between Ace and Luo, she was not very interested. After all, she just became a general. If the two of them couldn't even do this, they would need to pay attention to it.

Of course, Skyler originally wanted to take care of himself, but he fell asleep in a daze and missed the ceremony of the two of them.

When the entire graduation ceremony came to an end, Ace found Ro and Bebo. After confirming from Bebo that he didn't know Luffy's news, Ace suddenly found Skyler was still sitting in place.

Ace pointed in Skyler's direction and said, "It seems that my aunt is waiting for us and is planning to tell us where Luffy is going!"

Luo and Bebo felt it made sense when they heard this, so they walked quickly towards Skyler with a bear. Many naval generals on the way greeted the two, and Bebo, the bear was ignored.

However...most generals only greet one of them. After all,... Ace and Luo have a good relationship, but their factions are different.

The hawks were very opposed to Ace's existence before, but after Ace became a member of their hawk two years ago, they gradually let go of their inner stereotypes and looked at the recruit who was favored by Akainu with the eyes of looking at other navals.

To be precise, Ace's performance in the past year and a half has begun to impress many hawkish generals. In addition, Akainu repeatedly hinted that Ace was his student, so most hawkish generals also let go of their guard.

Instead, they were sincerely happy that they welcomed fresh blood like Ace in their faction. Therefore, when they put down and walked towards Skyler, most of the hawkish generals greeted Ace.

Naturally, the one who greeted Luo was naturally the dove general.

Of course, unlike Ace, the label on Luo is not obvious, and there seems to be no clue to lead him in the direction of dove, but... this happens to be a characteristic of dove.

Compared with hawks, doves actually do not have obvious behavior in grouping. The most obvious feature of doves is that they are not united enough.

Compared with hawks, dove generals rarely join forces and work together for a common goal. They just don’t look down on the hawks’ style, but it does not mean that they have another consensus within them.

Just like Dorag was actually a member of the doves back then, but when he opposed the hawks and said that One Piece's wife and son were innocent, other generals of the doves did not work together to support him.

Because they just oppose the hawks and are tough in their opinion that One Piece's family and descendants should be killed, but... everyone's judgment is different whether his wife and offspring are really innocent.

Even if there are occasional opinions like Dorag, they will not stand up and express their opinions, because in this way, it means that they will fight against the hawks, which will only increase the internal friction of the navy and are not very necessary.

It is also for this reason that Skyler has been trying to win over and maintain the friendship with hawkish generals along the way, but the doves who belong to him have no intention of taking care of him.

Some dove-like generals deserve respect, but... there is no need to respect this faction, this is what Skyler thinks.

And from the greetings of these generals to the two, it can be seen that most of the hawkish generals who greeted Ace were encouraging him to continue his efforts.

The dove general who greeted Luo... was just saying hello, but I just felt that there was another person here, so I just said hello and left an impression.

The two of them came to Skyler with a bear, and Ace spoke, "Auntie."

Skyler did not react at all, Ace was stunned. After all, Skyler had never treated them coldly. Although he was very serious when he beat them, it was just training.

Luo observed Skyler at this time, and after a while, he said, "If I read it correctly, Lt. General Skyler should be sleeping."

Ace: "..."

"Aunt! Aunt!"

Ace increased the volume but still couldn't wake Skyler. Luo said at this time: "If you want to wake up Skyler, the sound made with your mouth is useless. So... stand in front of me."

As Luo said that, he pulled Ace in front of him. Ace didn't understand and didn't know how Luo wanted to wake up his aunt, but he did.

Unfortunately... Ace forgot how Luo harmed the two brothers back then.

"Zhen~"

A sharp, but pleasant sound like a string plucking sound rang out, and Ace's whole body suddenly became stiff because a black knife was stopping in front of his neck.

"Guru~"

Ace subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but as the Adam's apple rolled, her hair was cut off by the black knife. Ace took a step back. Luo, who was originally standing behind him, had already given aside at this time, looked at Skyler who woke up and said:

"Lt. General Skyler."

"Hmm? It's you? Is the graduation ceremony over?"

Skyler said in a daze, and at the same time put the black knife in her hair. Luo was about to ask Luffy about it, but just as soon as he opened his mouth, Ace's hands grabbed his neck.

Ace shouted hideously: "What did you do?! I almost died, do you know?!"

Luo was strangled and was shaken by Ace, but Ace obviously did not have much hostility. After pinching for a long time, Luo didn't even change his breathing, but was thrown a little dizzy.

“Hu~Hu~”

Ace still let go of Luo. Luo pretended to touch his neck, and then explained: "Hostility, at the level of Lieutenant General Skyler, his perception of hostility has far exceeded the sensitivity of the five senses.

so..."

"So you pulled me in front of you to block the knife?!"

Ace finally reacted, pointed at Luo, trembling with anger. No wonder Luo just pulled him in front of him. It turned out that Luo was about to exude hostility and find someone to block the knife for him.

Luo showed a shy smile, nodded, and admitted directly.

Skyler looked at the two of them who were so lively, and Bebo, who had not figured out the situation yet, sighed helplessly. It seemed that... she was really old and could not keep up with the interaction of such children.

"Okay, Ace, he asked you to stand in front of him, just to deliberately mess with you. If I would just touch you a little bit, I would be useless..."

"Aunt! Look at it!"

Ace suddenly raised her head and kept signaling her neck. Skyler glanced at it and couldn't say anything else. After all, she did not do anything to not hurt Ace at all.

Fortunately, Ace was impatient and didn't wait until he finished setting up the flag before he said these things. He waved his hand and Skyler directly changed the subject and asked:

"You two don't go to celebrate the celebration banquet, nor do you bribe Lieutenant General He. Find some better members for you. What's the matter with me?"

After being reminded by Skyler, the two who were playing came back to their senses. Ace no longer rushed to the point of being red-white, but returned to seriousness and asked:

"Aunt, where is Luffy? Bepp said he hasn't appeared for half a month."

Bepp nodded, and Ronaldo also looked at Skyler. Although he often said something to look down on the two brothers Ace Luffy, he was still quite concerned about them.

Skyler thought for a while and said, "He chose a path himself, a path different from you. Maybe one day he would emerge from the sea."

Skyler said in a fog, Luo frowned and pondered, while Ace asked in confusion: "Where has he been?"

"To be honest, I don't know much."

Tickling his head, Skyler continued: "He set out from Marinfando to the Shambodian Islands half a month ago, and I don't know what happened after that, but... don't worry.

I can only tell you now that no matter what he does in the future, you don’t make any judgments easily, especially you, Ace... you must trust Luffy enough."

Ace wanted to say something, but Luo grabbed his arm and gave him a look. Ace frowned and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable in your eyes?"

Luo: "..."

People cannot generalize. Whether it is physical fitness, IQ, EQ or anything else, different people will have different performances, while Ace... is relatively straightforward.
To be continued...
