Chapter 117 Luring the Wolf into the House (Part 2)

In the room, Roy, who hadn't left yet, looked at the balcony, Arcadio, who was watching the "smug" William leave, and asked aloud, "I don't think it's appropriate for you to agree to his proposal."

"Oh?" Arcadio turned around after hearing the words, and raised his eyebrows at Roy, "What's wrong."

"I can't tell you the specifics." Roy frowned.

Although Roy is cautious, William's thinking is formed according to the knowledge and experience of the previous society. Roy is not a roundworm in William's stomach. He is limited by the knowledge and vision of this world, and he can't guess William's thoughts.

He felt it was inappropriate because he felt that William was not a simple person, so he subconsciously resisted William's proposal, always feeling that William's proposal was more or less conspiratorial.

However, Roy's baseless remarks obviously cannot convince Arcadio. After all, William's proposal, from the current point of view, the most direct beneficiary is Arcadio, which happens to help Arcadio solve a problem. Moreover, William's request to become a nobleman of the Navia Kingdom is exactly equivalent to putting a handle in Arcadio's hands.

"You're just too careful." Arcadio shook his head and said disapprovingly.

Roy sucked on his cigar, and seemed to be in a bad mood: "Your eyeliner named Chloe, has there been any news recently?"

"There are some."

Roy's eyes lit up when he heard the words, but Arcadio's subsequent words dispelled his illusions: "Cloe said that Stolter is too soft-hearted, and he can't bear to see his pirates go ashore to burn, kill, and loot, so he always Forcing the crew to fight with other pirate groups, many old pirates on the ship were dissatisfied with him, so I guess, his proposal this time should also be for his own sake. After becoming a nobleman, he can gradually leave the pirate group. , and after his crew put on a coat of the kingdom's army, he also had an excuse to stop the crew from going ashore to plunder."

"Where's the news about the devil fruit? Is it the natural system?" Roy frowned, and finally asked the key.

"No, Crowe said that he basically uses swordsmanship to fight, and his fruit ability should not be strong." Arcadio said.

Roy was silent for a while, and he knew Arcadio's attitude at this point, and it was not easy to force Arcadio, so he got up and left in an impolite manner.

Roy was thinking about this until he returned to the base of the Sixteenth Division of the Navy. He shut himself in the office, frowning and thinking, until a knock on the door brought him back from his thoughts.

His confidant, Captain Yossarian Heller knocked on the door and came in. After saluting, he reported loudly: "Sir, Major Mouse has a report."

The creases between Roy's brows deepened.

Many things in this world are just so unfair. Colonel Roy thinks about himself. He has grown from a recruit to a field officer. He has put in a lot of sweat and effort during this period. He has brushed shoulders with death countless times. And after countless days and nights in the training ground to torture his body, he is where he is today.

But in Roy's eyes, the mouse, a waste that can only be described as incompetent, relied on the power of his father's generation without any merit, but he was able to be promoted all the way until he became a second lieutenant, and then he was properly arranged to Donghai, the most "" "Safe" sea area as an officer.

Because of this relationship, Roy, as the supreme commander of the base, has to give him a little bit of favor, and because of this relationship, even if he goes to Donghai, where he is unfamiliar, there are still people rushing to give him credit.

William has defeated so many pirates since his rise in the waters around the Kingdom of Navia. Although most of them are unknown, he has not been officially wanted by the world government and navy. The most important reason is that he Every time, the credit will be given to the mouse, Ah Jin, Roy and other naval officers.

William pulled Akin on the obvious excuse of being a fellow countryman, and Roy because he was the highest-ranking naval officer in the waters around the Kingdom of Navia, and Mouse because he had high-level connections.

Therefore, in the official report of the Navy, those pirates were not defeated by the Morgan Pirates, but by the officers and soldiers of the Sixteenth Division of the Navy, under the command of Roy, led by the mouse, and defeated by Akin.

In about a year, Ah Jin has changed from a soldier to an officer to a second lieutenant, and the mouse is even more exaggerated. Because of his family background, after operation, he was promoted quickly and changed from a second lieutenant to a major.

Even Roy himself, whose military rank has reached a bottleneck, has been praised by his superiors many times. Given that the actual rank of the branch navy is generally lower than that of the headquarters, if this continues, with more activities, it is not impossible for him to become a brigadier general.

Logically speaking, Roy should have increased his affection for William because of this, but unfortunately, he is not a mouse.

But after a while, Major Mouse, who was secretly despised by Roy, entered the office under the leadership of Captain Heller. After paying a substandard salute to Roy, he moved to the desk under Roy's signal. chair in front of you.

"Come on, what can you report?" Roy asked unceremoniously after the mouse sat down.

The mouse's cheeks twitched. Roy is a relatively domineering person inside the branch base. Although Roy is not good at dealing with mice with a background, he is not allowed to let the mouse take real power after he is sure that the mouse is unusable.

Not long after the mouse arrived at the base of the 16th branch, Roy was transferred to his side. At first, the mouse was happy and thought that he had been reused. After a while, he realized that Roy was transferring him to take care of him personally. , and let him have no real job.

Up to now, the mouse has become a major and still has no real power. There is no work to do on weekdays, and naturally there is nothing to report.

It's not that the mouse didn't think about transferring away, but William persuaded him through Tony. William's current sphere of influence is mainly in the waters near the Kingdom of Navia, and the mouse is also reluctant to part with William, who has been delivering benefits to him.

The mouse suppressed its resentment, glanced at Captain Heller, who had not left the room, but began to pour tea for the two of them, and explained the reason here in a secretive way: "Colonel Roy, it's like this, I have a..., friend , he usually walks on the sea, and you know that the current environment is very dangerous, so he really wants to buy something to defend himself."

Roy kept looking at the mouse coldly, until then he said: "The 'friend' you mentioned is Stolt, right?"

The mouse glanced at Captain Heller again, and the gesture was obvious, but Roy was not moved at all.

There is no way, the mouse forced a smile and said: "Stolt and the others can be regarded as friends of the officers and soldiers of the Sixteenth Division of the Navy. After all, they gave us a lot of help when we encircled and suppressed the pirates in the jurisdiction area. We helped He is also helping us."

"Friend, heh," Roy sneered, "what does he want?"

The mouse whispered: "Six Forms."

Boom!

As soon as the mouse finished speaking, Roy picked up a large book from the table and threw it at him. Although Roy was short in stature, he was not weak at all, and the heavy book was castrated quickly and urgently. , directly and heavily hit the bridge of the mouse's nose.

The mouse's nose was sore, and then another sharp pain came to his mind. Nosebleeds and tears rolled down uncontrollably, and he was almost thrown off the chair.

"You idiot!" Roy scolded.
