I, Sakazuki, Will Not Take a Dog Easily

"Continue to wait and see, and keep the information open at all times." Sakaski concluded, and the burly lieutenant general turned and walked towards Polusalino's dormitory.

———————————————————————————

"I said, Sakalski, although I'm glad you came to my house, why are you covering yourself like a patient with severe typhoid fever?" Holding a pot of steaming black tea in one hand, he mixed it with the old friend on the opposite seat.

"Shut up Polusalino, don't I usually use a hood and a military cap to cover up? What's so strange!" Sakaski, who prefers to show his face after crossing, returned to his previous attire ,

"No, the old man just wanted to remind you that you can't drink tea while wearing a white veil, your taste is getting weirder!"

Polusalino, who was wearing a light yellow bottoming shirt, took his left hand out of his pocket, and stretched out a slender finger to touch the veil hanging under the brim of Sakaski's hat.

"The old man has a captain named Xiu En who is very similar to your outfit!"

"..."

Sakaski took off the mask, took the saucer together, and gently brought the mixed black tea to his mouth: "Did the Xiu En you mentioned just come from the branch and eat the superman's rust?" Rust fruit imp?"

"Well, I thought you didn't care about the information." Polusalino also picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Rust fruit is the natural enemy of metal products such as swords and guns, right?" Sakarski put down the teacup and picked up a small pot of milk on the table and slowly poured it into it.

Polusalino clamped a piece of sugar cube with small clamps and put it into the black tea. "To be precise, if developed properly, the rusty fruit is the natural enemy of all metal products, including our warships and forts."

"Take care of this person, and train him more if he has nothing to do. Don't waste such an excellent fruit." Sakaski was silent for a moment, and solemnly begged his comrades.

"...Do you have friendship with him?" The lieutenant general raised his left eyebrow with his mouth twisted.

"Not at all. It's just that my concept has changed." The lieutenant general who put down his hood shook his head.

"Oh~ I would like to hear more about it"

"Our navy used to be accustomed to having a large number of people, but in the final analysis, our mid-to-high-end combat capabilities are insufficient. There are not many officers on a warship who can handle it."

Polusalino thought about it carefully before replying: "Although what you said is a bit absolute and one-sided, there is indeed such a problem. The warship led by the lieutenant general still has a major general who can be alone, and a major general is the highest. There are basically no outstanding characters on the commander's warship."

"Since we want to improve the combat power of low-level ordinary sailors, why not train the abilities and strengths of mid- and high-level naval officers?" Sakalski smiled and asked a question.

67. The Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon (Qianlong Zaiyuan)

"Interesting idea, I know your plan." Polusalino is a fine person, his eyes rolled around like a playful ape in their sockets. "Are you planning to teach and train your subordinates, Ghost Spider, Dauberman and others?"

Sakaski took over the small sugar cube clip from Polusalino: "Not only these major generals, Polusalino, I am happy to cultivate qualified school officers and lieutenants."

The slick Shining fruit user raised his eyebrows, and he looked very mature with heavy forehead lines. He stared at Sakaski meaningfully: "It's a good idea. As an old friend, I must remind you, I don't know if you have that kind of idea, but does this count as forming your own faction?"

Sakalski picked up a teaspoon and stirred the black tea lightly, so that the clear amber tea soup and the milk were tightly blended together.

He didn't take it seriously: "Personally, we will not ask our subordinates to form parties. This is for the purpose of enhancing the strength of the navy."

"You think so, but outsiders don't see it that way, Sakaski!" Polusalino, who was rarely serious, looked at his old friend, "Generals don't think that way, and marshals don't think so." Think about it, even if the overall strength of the navy is greatly increased as you think, so what? The more the military strength is improved, the more hated you are for forming a party for selfish interests!"

He looked into Sakalski's eyes and scolded: "Don't be too idealistic! Sakalski! This kind of naivete is tantamount to suicide!"

Sakaski lowered his head and stared at the black tea, making it difficult to see his face covered by the brim of his hat. After a long time, he spoke in a low voice: "Porusalino, I accept your love."

If the friendship has not reached a certain level, Sakalski will not tell others about his plans. Similarly, only a true friend with a deep friendship will remind you so sincerely.

"Hey~ Do you still want to stick to this line of thinking?" Seeing that Sakalski didn't seem to be moved, Polusalino's face became even more bitter. This dead-headed bastard is almost as stubborn as their common teacher Zefa. Once he has his own ideas, no one can persuade them back.

"The matter of Mr. Zefa was a wake-up call for me." Sakaski picked up the well-stirred milk tea and put it in his mouth.

"?"

Without directly answering this question, Sakalski continued to ask meaningfully, "Do you think the world government is happy to see complete unity within our navy?"

"Do you think that there are government departments behind Teacher Zefa's family being killed by pirates?" Polusalino's thoughts turned quickly, and he tapped the desktop with his fingertips. "Although there are some doubts about this incident, such as Will you know the specific address of General Zefa's family outside the military headquarters at that time? And why didn't the CP department arrange personnel to guard there?"

He changed his tone, "But these are all our guesses, and I have a bad relationship with that old man, but we don't have any evidence pointing to the world government."

Sakaski looked calm, "Yes, all these are our assumptions, and I have never been a fan of conspiracy theories, but in all fairness, the only army with good combat power controlled by the world government is us— navy."

Sakaski took a sip of milk tea and continued to explain: "On the one hand, our navy has great real power. From self-conscription to deployment of military personnel, we don't need to consult the world government departments. Marshals and generals can be transferred at any time." The army attacks any area under the slaying order."

"Besides, the World Government has not placed any government personnel in such an army. If the army is unprecedentedly united, they will all act according to one person's thoughts." Sakaski's mouth slightly raised, and he said the words of hatred: "What if one day Wu Laoxing disagrees with a certain general or even the marshal, leading to a direct naval rebellion?"

"..." Polusalino didn't speak, and he put a second cube of sugar into his teacup for a while

At this time, he opened his mouth to continue Sakalski's conjecture: "If it is really such a united army, even if a general leaves office, he may take away a large number of new troops, let alone a marshal who has won the hearts of the army?"

"I really didn't expect you to start planning from now on, Sakaski." The shiny fruit ability user had a strange smile

"Not only has the high-level strength of the army been strengthened, but it has also deliberately divided factions from the surface so that the government departments can manage it with ease. In fact, with your reputation..., hmph, I will treat it as if you are forced to protect yourself in order to become a general!"

"Don't tell me I'm as radical as the boy Dorag who has been out of the navy for a few years, Polusalino." Sakaski drank the milk tea in one gulp, and then he watched his comrades pour the milk tea in a daze. Toss in a third sugar cube.

The tactful lieutenant general added another cup of black tea to Sakalski, "Well, I am too lazy to talk about this with you. By the way, let me guess why you are dressed like this today."

"..."

"I heard that you are dating a certain female officer, Sakaski." Polusalino's smile became more and more wretched.

"Could it be that you are avoiding Gion?"

...So the general's intuition is always this good?

Can't be cowardly. . . How can you be cowardly when you do things from your heart?

Sakaski was expressionless: "I found out that your information came very quickly. It was the same when I brought Robin back. You will know it in a long time."

The wretched lieutenant general smiled and lit a cigarette with his ability: "It's just an additional ability of the shiny fruit, don't worry about it."

The ability of the shiny fruit. . . I believed in your evil. .

Seeing the old wretch avoiding the important, the serious lieutenant general didn't have the nerve to ask him deliberately, so he dialed a phone bug: "Colonel Lindemann, can I ask you to go to the officer's cafeteria and get me a meal to Lieutenant General Polusalino's dormitory come?"

The lieutenant general who was throwing the fourth cube of sugar into the milk tea was dumbfounded, "...Are you going to hide with me until you leave Hong Kong to practice?"

"...No"

"...I believe you will be blamed"

Polusalino directly leaned half of his body in front of Sakalski: "Are you afraid of women? Shocked! I have been with you for so long, how come I don't know?"

"Shut up, bastard, do you think I haven't killed a female pirate?"

"Oh! Then you are afraid of Gion." Polusalino, who had succeeded in the routine, smiled even brighter, shaking the cigarette ashes from his mouth into Sakaski's teacup. Without stopping with his left hand, he threw the fifth sugar cube into his cup...

"I don't want to drink tea anymore!" The iron-blooded warrior with a helpless face gently pushed the teacup away, and the smooth lieutenant general, who had basically never seen Sakaski's embarrassment, decided to push his nose on his face.
