One Piece: Shadow of the Navy

Chapter 223 Waiting



Aboard a medium-sized warship in Marineland Port.

Cohen held a cigarette in his mouth, bent over, rested his elbows on the side of the ship, leaned on the side of the ship, and looked at the location of the port.

Next to him, Shankos also held a cigarette in his mouth, folded his hands on his chest, and leaned against the side of the boat.

"Boss, it's become even more difficult for you now that you've been promoted to lieutenant general. At least when you were a brigadier general, you didn't have to worry about not having soldiers when you went on a mission, but now you can't even bring them with you."

Shankos held a cigarette in his mouth, squinting his eyes slightly in the smoke, raising his head slightly to look at the distance of the sea, and talking.

"Actually, I think the current regulations are a bit bad. The soldiers provided to the lieutenant general are actually accompanied by officers. On the warship, if these officers do not obey the management, the lieutenant general will be almost a decoration and cannot order the soldiers at all. "

Next to Shankos, Aimeng Fan, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth and moving almost in the same way as Cohen, heard what Shankos said and also spoke.

"Yes, especially for a new lieutenant general. The one assigned may still be a major general. Maybe no one has seniority yet. How can he be suppressed?"

Clark Larson squatted under the cabin, with his back against the cabin, and echoed Aimunfan's words. He also had some opinions on this rule, especially when the disadvantages of this rule were still reflected on all of them. Bigger.

"This is indeed not friendly enough to the new Lieutenant General." After hearing Clark Larsen agree with him, Aimengfan said again.

"Actually, this regulation is very necessary. It is for the good of the soldiers and the good of the lieutenant general who leads the team." Not far away from Clark Larsen, Heywood Latifah, who was standing with his back to the cabin, also spoke. She joined the conversation of several people, but her views were different from those of Aimunfan, Sen and others.

"What if we meet a stupid young lieutenant general and have to take the entire warship to death? As a lieutenant general, he is very powerful and may be able to escape, but those soldiers are not that strong. Ah, there is no other option but death.”

Latifah stood in the shadow of the cabin, her hand resting on the handle of the knife at her waist, and she said gloomily.

Sen, Aimengfan, and Shankos looked at each other and said nothing more about this rule.

They all knew very well what happened to Latifah, and they knew that Latifah was thinking about this matter and her father's matter.

What happened to her father was very similar to this, and his father was recognized by the people on the entire warship, and eventually he lived and died with the entire warship. In the end, even this was liquidated afterwards. If her father escaped If so, I don’t know what will happen.

In fact, if her father had escaped in the end, things might not have reached this level.

Because living people are always more intimidating than dead people.

However, the three of them did not say anything further and changed the topic.

"Actually, I think the boss can give it a try. With the strength of the boss, no matter who comes, he can definitely subdue the opponent." Shankos moved his eyes to Cohen and said.

"Hehehe, actually I think it would be more troublesome if I were the boss. As the boss, how many of those senior major generals would serve under the boss?"

Vio Common, who was on the side, also had a cigarette in his mouth, and he was also paying attention to the conversation between several people.

He had been looking at Latifah worriedly before, but apart from her unsightly expression, Latifah didn't show anything else.

He couldn't see anything, so he had to look away, and happened to hear Shankos's words. He looked at Cohen, laughed twice, and did not agree with Shankos's words.

"If it happens to be such a veteran major general, what should the boss do? Use strength to convince him? You can convince him in person, but what about behind the boss's back? Who can know what the other party will do?"

"If you don't rely on strength to convince, then the other party will not be able to convince the boss. No matter how you do it, there will be problems. This is a deadlock."

Shankos thought about the faces of the major generals and brigadiers standing in the square when the Warring States Period announced that Cohen had become Lieutenant General. The corner of his mouth twitched. He had to admit that what Vio Common said was indeed true. most likely to happen.

Seeing the change in Shankos' expression, Vio Common knew that he must have thought of that situation, and grinned, "Really?"

"I made a mistake in the way I trained you."

At this time, Cohen, who was leaning on the side of the boat with his elbows, turned around, leaned his back on the side of the boat, and turned to look at Shankos and the others.

As he spoke, the faint smoke from the cigarette in his mouth also moved up and down.

Following his words, the eyes of Shankos, Aimunfan, Vio Common, Heywood Latifah, and Clark Lasen could not help but focus on him.

"Actually, I shouldn't have kept you with me in the first place. As a result, now you don't have any direct subordinates, and your military rank has been suppressed. The highest ranking Coral is just a lieutenant colonel."

"If I let you go, after so many years, you will definitely have your own direct subordinates by now, and with your strength, your military rank will definitely be higher than it is now, at least one level higher."

As he spoke, Cohen shook his head slightly. He felt a little regretful about the training he had given to several people.

"Hehehe, boss, what you are talking about is all based on our current strength, but if we go out and there is no one around to guide us, our strength will not be as strong as it is now."

Shankos chuckled, but he did not agree with Cohen's words.

"Shankos is right," Clark Lasen, who was squatting under the cabin, nodded. He fully agreed with Shankos's words.

"If I had not chosen to follow you, Lieutenant General, then I would have been twenty years old, had no background, and no strength. It is still unknown whether I would have survived until now, let alone the strength I have now."

Thinking of what he had experienced in the past twenty years or so, a trace of regret, a trace of disgust, and a deep sense of joy appeared on Clark Larson's face.

I thought that if he had not met Cohen, he might have died in the original G-6 branch. Even if he was lucky enough to survive that time, he might have died silently in a certain mission later, just like most sailors. In that way, it sank quietly somewhere in the sea.

Shankos and others couldn't help but think of their lives before meeting Cohen, and everyone fell silent for a while.

"Lieutenant General," at this time, Coral's voice came from the observation deck above his head.

"The soldiers supported by Lieutenant General Zhuyuan are here, led by Major General Morold."
