Chapter 26 Invoicing

As Shache asked the first question, the whole office suddenly fell silent.

At this moment.

In the whole office.

Robin and Nami, who had just come over and was about to ask about the future development of the Konomi Islands, also frowned and looked at Shache who asked this question for some reason.

Even Smoker on the side was the same, and was even thinking about how to answer this question in his heart.

At this time.

Although he was puzzled that the so-called interview was like this, after thinking about it, Coby had his own answer in his heart.

He took a deep breath, looked at Colonel Shache seriously, and said, "I will stop this war and prevent the tragedy from continuing. Since the goal has been achieved, even if there are still many pirates that have not been eliminated, what is more important now is my partner."

As he said this, he seemed a little nervous. He didn't know whether Colonel Shache was satisfied with his answer. Coby clenched his head, and sweat appeared on his forehead. He stared at Colonel Shache who was thinking in front of him.

However

"Hmm~" Colonel Shache unexpectedly did not ponder for too long. He nodded to Coby and smiled, "Good! Very good! You answered very well!"

"I..." Coby, who was recognized by Shache, became excited again and was about to say something.

But suddenly...

"Please listen to the next question."

Without any pause, Colonel Shache continued.

"If one day, you are captured by pirates, in order to save you, your teacher disregards the order of the Navy Headquarters, breaks into the pirates' lair, rescues you, and is about to let you run away quickly, at this tense and dangerous moment, you hear someone asking for help, as a navy, what will you choose?"

"I... Although I am very scared, as a navy, I will definitely go to save him!"

"Good! Very good! Very good!" As if he was still very satisfied with Coby's answer, Shache's voice of approval sounded again, and even Nami and Robin beside him nodded slightly.

Even Smoker, who heard Coby's answer, showed a faint smile on his face.

This is the justice of the navy.

This guy doesn't seem to be anything special, but he has a kind heart.

Then he looked at Xia Che again, snorted, and took another puff of cigar.

He can ask such a question and even agree with it. It seems that this guy also knows that he has done something out of line!

However.

Next...

"If your boss colluded with pirates, defrauded military funds from the upper level, and colluded with the high-level officials of the Navy Headquarters, but everything he did was for the civilians on his island, do you think he did it right?"

Xia Che said this.

"..."X3

Everyone present was stunned and looked at him in confusion.

Especially Smoker... his face darkened again, [What on earth does this guy want to do? Why did he suddenly ask this to a new recruit? 】

"I, I, I..." Coby seemed confused, as if he didn't know why Colonel Shache asked this. But after thinking about it, he answered seriously, "Although there are reasons for this, I don't think it's good. I will stop my boss and tell him that it's wrong to do this. Maybe there are difficulties on the island, but it can't be done this way. There must be other ways. We can think of a solution together."

"Good! Very good! Very good!"

Unexpectedly.

Such an answer still got Shache's approval.

At this moment.

Nami and Robin looked at each other. Although they didn't know what Shache asked, as colleagues for many years, they seemed to feel... something was wrong!

And Smoker on the side... His face was originally dark, but after hearing Shache's words, it eased a lot and looked at Shache deeply.

It seems that this guy also has self-knowledge and knows that what he did is wrong!

Maybe it was because of the civilians on the island that he had to do this?

But.

This is not over yet.

After praising Coby's answer, Shache continued to ask.

"If your boss colludes with pirates and kidnaps people everywhere, but he doesn't want to capture these people as slaves, but just wants them to work for him, do you think this is right?"

"How can this be? Everyone has the right to choose their own life. I think we should tell them that there are jobs here and let them choose for themselves. It is wrong to kidnap people with pirates."

"What if the king of the allied country stops it?"

"We should also tell the king and let the king recognize us!"

"Good! Very good! Very good!"

Robin, Nami: ...

Smoker: ...

But Xia Che seems Without seeing their eyes, he continued, "If your boss violates the order of the Navy Headquarters, recruits more marines privately, remodels pirate ships, and teases the Navy Headquarters with pirates, what will you do after seeing it?"

"I will... stop my boss and tell him that this is wrong."

"Good! Very good, very good!"

"If you have a friend who is a pirate, but he doesn't do anything bad, but simply enjoys adventure, and saves many people, even you, will you recognize him?"

"I... I will!"

"Good! Very good! Very good!"

But.

This answer seemed to finally make the originally confused Smoker unable to hold back, and he asked with a dark face, "What the hell are you doing?"

"Don't get excited, don't get excited! I don't mean anything else." Looking at Smoker's dark face, Xia Che quickly laughed and said seriously, "This is just an internal assessment of our 16th branch!"

"Assessment?"

Don't be kidding!

This is simply a criminal exposing himself, and in the end... he even made friends with pirates?

Does this guy want to train all the navy to be like him?

But after hearing Xia Che's words, Smoker still took a deep breath, glanced at Coby, and then looked at Xia Che coldly, and said, "So how are you doing in the assessment now?"

"This kid..."

Xia Che stretched out his voice.

Before he finished speaking

Coby became nervous, clenched his fists, and looked at Xia Che tightly.

Although those questions were indeed a bit weird, did he pass?

"Good! Very good! Very good!" Xia Che did not delay, took a sip of black tea, and said seriously, "It's really excellent. I can feel his inner justice from his answer. He has the thinking of a naval hero before he becomes a navy. I think he has the qualifications to be a navy marshal!"

"..."

Navy hero thinking, navy marshal qualifications!

This guy is really good at talking nonsense!

Smoker's mouth twitched, and he ignored Xia Che's nonsense, then frowned and looked at Xia Che, "So, the 16th branch of the navy decided to accept it?"

As soon as these words fell.

Before Coby could get excited,

"Didn't you understand what I meant? The thinking of a naval hero, the qualities of a naval marshal!" Xia Che squinted at Smoker, "Is this what a mere 16th branch of the navy can cultivate? Isn't this a waste of talent?"

"So, your good! Very good! Very good is..."

"I plan to ask you to recommend him to study at the headquarters of the navy, and it would be best if he could become a student of Vice Admiral Garp. I believe Vice Admiral Garp will be very satisfied. Hey, hey, hey, don't go!" Looking at Smoker who turned around and ran away without hesitation, Xia Che hurriedly said, "I'm telling the truth. This kid is too good and is absolutely suitable for the headquarters of the navy. Hey, wait, wait, if it doesn't work, please help me send him to Garp."

However.

Smoker didn't seem to want to pay attention to Xia Che, and he opened the door and ran away.

Only Xia Che with a face full of regret and Coby who was lost were left.

"Thank you, Colonel Shache." Coby looked at Shache who was sighing, and said seriously, "Please don't say that anymore. Although I haven't received Colonel Shache's approval, I will definitely work hard."

"Do you think what I said is false?"

"I...I..."

"What I just said is true!" Looking at Coby who was a little nervous and lost, Shache continued to say seriously, "I really didn't lie to you. You are really a genius. I plan to recommend you to study at the Navy Headquarters."

"I..." Coby was even more confused at this moment after being told this.

He didn't seem to understand why Colonel Shache still lied to him now?

"Don't think too much, go back! I will persuade Smoker later. That guy is a famous genius in the Navy Headquarters. With his recommendation, you can definitely go to the Navy Headquarters to study. If not, I will have to help." Xia Che stood up and patted Coby on the shoulder, "I promise to let you go to the Navy Headquarters to study."

"I... I will definitely work hard." Seeing that Colonel Xia Che was indeed not mocking him or comforting him, Coby regained his confidence again and said, "I will never let you down!"

As he said that, he saluted, turned his head excitedly, and walked behind him.

"Colonel Smoker, please wait for me!"

Until the figure disappeared.

"What do you want to do?" Nami looked at Xia Che curiously and said directly, "Did that guy really say that to you?"

"He is indeed very good." Xia Che took a sip of tea, nodded, and said, "And he is very talented. I didn't lie to him!"

"In that case, why don't you keep him?" This made Nami even more curious, and she frowned and said, "Didn't you say that you are in need of such a genius? Why send him to the Navy Headquarters?"

Even Robin on the side looked at Xia Che curiously.

He said so well, but why didn't he want him?

"Although he is very good, he is a good person!" Xia Che looked at Nami with a serious tone and said, "It is not suitable for us now."

At this moment.

Robin on the side seemed to understand something, retracted his gaze, and continued to look down at the book.

But.

"???"

Nami still couldn't figure it out.

"Good people? Why are good people not suitable for us? Isn't this very suitable for being a navy?"

"It's suitable to be a navy in the headquarters of the navy, but not suitable for us here." Xia Che took another sip of hot tea, glanced at Nami, raised his head again, looked at the word justice hanging on the wall, and said leisurely, "After all, we are not good people."

A son of the devil, a little thief, a scum who wants to be a warlord, and various illegal operations, where is the place for such a naive guy to stay?

...

"Sheltering the son of the devil, colluding with pirates, defrauding military funds, recruiting soldiers beyond the rules..."

"Mr. Bluebird, do you have any instructions?"

"Ah, no! Miss Xiaohong~" The young man called Mr. Bluebird took off the newspaper covering his face, looked at Xiaohong squatting in front of him, and said leisurely, "I'm just thinking about something."

"Is that so? Mr. Bluebird." After hearing the customer's answer, Xiaohong did not delve too much, still with a polite smile, and said, "If you have any instructions, please be sure to tell me. By the way, this water..."

He lowered his head and looked at the water that was almost frozen.

The hot water, which was originally hot, became cold in just a blink of an eye. This Mr. Bluebird...is not in good health!

Although she knew that it was not good to say so, this customer had been consuming here for several days, and every time he came, he ordered himself. He was generous and humble, and praised her skills very much. He didn't have any requirements. He was really a dream lover~

So, Xiaohong hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you really not need me to call a doctor for you?"

"No, thank you for your service, it's very comfortable~" Mr. Bluebird stretched, looked at the dim sky outside the window, and said, "It's been so many days, I think that guy should be free now."

As he said, after Xiaohong wiped her feet, he stood up and twisted his neck comfortably again.

"It's getting late, I should go to work!"

"Is Mr. Bluebird's vacation over?"

"Yes, I'm very busy~, I'm just on a business trip this time."

"Okay, welcome to take care of me, if you come again next time, please be sure to choose me!" Xiaohong was a little disappointed, but still said with a professional smile, "May I ask for anything else?"

"Nothing, oh, by the way~" Bluebird, who was about to turn around and change clothes, seemed to remember something, and stopped again, looking at Xiaohong who was still confused behind him, and said, "There is one more thing."

"May I ask what it is?"

"Can you please... issue an invoice for the consumption in the past few days?"

The words fell.

Xiaohong:...

Looking at the lazy Mr. Bluebird in front of her a little confused.

What does Mr. Bluebird do for a job?

Laihong is on a romantic business trip and also issues an invoice?
