One Piece Codex

At night, in Mark's villa.

"Sorry, dear, I was delayed by something."

Mads took off his shoes and looked at Nanako apologetically.

"It's so rude, the guests have been waiting for more than half an hour," Nanako complained, handing Levi a towel to wipe his sweat, "Quickly wipe it off. Kidd too, I asked him to buy tableware, and now he still has it Didn’t come back.”

Levi took the towel and wiped it briefly, "He is not going to be simple today. He burned the slave traders."

"What? Slave trader!!!"

Nanako was shocked and asked anxiously: "What about Kid? Is he okay? Where is he? Is he injured?..."

"Don't worry, Nanako, the kid is fine."

Mads smiled and took his wife's hand, and then briefly told what happened today.

Not long after Dahomey was shot, Ava and Nolan both woke up. Although they were not seriously injured, they had minor burns and needed to stay in the hospital for a while.Mads gave Kidd a sum of money, and as expected, Kidd is now accompanying Kira to the hospital.

"Huh, it's fine."

Nanako patted her chest and let out a long breath.

This time it was a near miss. Next time Kidd can't be allowed to go shopping alone. If he is really captured and made into a slave... She doesn't dare to think about it. She has seen it with her own eyes, those eyes that are extremely longing for death... ·····

"Nanako, what kind of guest is here?" Levi asked casually.

"By the way, guest!" Nanako woke up from her memories, "Don't worry about it for now, the guests have been waiting for a long time, come in quickly."

I am still very curious about Li Wei, the guest at home tonight.After so many years in Luruta, everyone who should be familiar with him has already become familiar with him. When I asked Mads in the morning, he was given a few vague words, as if he didn't want to talk more.This made Levi even more curious.

Several people walked into the living room and saw a young woman with a round head sitting on the sofa.With a beautiful face and wearing a navy "Justice" coat, needless to say, the blue epaulettes clearly indicate her identity.

The base commander of the 66th Navy Division and the Navy Captain——Aecilia.

The naval base guarding the waters near Lulu Tower had just been built not long ago. Aicilia was also the base commander sent by the headquarters just this month. It stands to reason that it is a busy time now, and this woman would actually take the time to visit Mad. Sri Lanka.

Levi looked at Mads with strange eyes.

【Should it be...】

Feeling some kind of strange sight, Mads glared at Levi angrily.

"Cough cough."

Aicilia was holding a teacup in a daze when she heard a familiar cough. She was suddenly startled, "Major General?"

She put down her tea cup in surprise and stood up, "Major General! Former 316th Unit, Staff Sergeant Aicilia reports."

Under Levi's slightly surprised gaze, Aicilia saluted Mads with a very standard naval salute.

"Long time no see, Sergeant Aicilia."

Mads showed a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, touched his stubble-covered chin and smiled:

"After so many years of retirement from the Navy, I am no longer a rear admiral..."

"Hehe, Major General, once I am a soldier under your command, I will always be a soldier under you. You will always be a Major General in our hearts!" As he said this, Aicilia's head swayed in circles, "And Sir, look, I didn’t hear that you were here, but I came here specifically to apply for a transfer order from the headquarters.”

"Hahahaha! Okay! Okay! But you are not a sergeant now, you have become a colonel!" Mads laughed, obviously very impressed by Aicilia's words, "Acilia, let me introduce to you. Wait, this is my wife and eldest son."

Nanako smiled and nodded.Before Mads came back, she and Icilia had a basic understanding of each other. They were not so indifferent, except for Levi, who was still stuck in the information that Icilia had revealed before.

Years of information gathering had made Levi aware of many things, so he knew exactly what "rear admiral" meant.Although it is far inferior to the natural disaster level of an admiral, a rear admiral would be like a fish pond if placed in a corner of the South China Sea.Not just strength, but also courage, connections, and knowledge...

[No wonder, he is so strong that he is incompatible with this kingdom, and he knows so much...but why did he quit the navy? 】

Aicilia: "Hehe, Nanako-san is so gentle!"

Seeing that Levi was in a daze, a sly smile flashed across Aicilia's big blinking eyes. She walked around to Levi and coughed twice.

"Ah, Major General, is this Aicilia's junior brother?"

Levi was startled, and then greeted Aicilia politely.

"Sorry, I'm a little rude, my name is Mark Levi."

Li Wei didn't have much resistance to the beautiful and familiar navy lady in front of him. On the contrary, he was somewhat close to her.

This feeling is like meeting Williams for the first time. Even though they may be completely unrelated in appearance, their frank temperament is surprisingly similar, making people unable to feel disgusted.

"Hahaha, Aicilia, don't worry, this kid always likes to think about nothing." Mads waved his hand, "Let's go eat first, you have been waiting for so long."

When it came to eating, Aicilia finally remembered that she seemed to be still hungry.

Then, I saw the naval commander transform from a young girl full of energy into a frosted eggplant. She shrugged and muttered:

"I can finally eat, I want to eat meat, eat meat~"

"Still so rude."

Mads was laughing and cursing, but he couldn't help but feel lucky in his heart that Aicilia was still the quirky Aicilia before.

Time may change a lot, but some bonds will never fade away, such as Unit 316, those comrades who have experienced life and death together... at least that's what he thinks.

Thanks to Nanako's increasingly good cooking skills, dinner for guests is still sumptuous and delicious.

"Oh ho ho! This tastes really good!" Aicilia tore off a piece of meat and took a sip of wine while chewing it. "Hiccup~ Major General, I haven't drunk such strong whiskey for a long time. ”

【You're really welcome. 】

Faced with the turbulent behavior of the meatball-headed eldest sister, Levi silently moved the remaining steak towards himself.

Nanako: "Don't worry about not having enough, there are plenty more in the kitchen."

Because Maders had specifically asked Nanako to prepare a lot of food in advance, otherwise she would not have let Kid go out to buy tableware.

"Hey, hey, you have to leave some wine for me!"

Looking at Aicilia who didn't care about her image at all, Mads grinned wider. People from the military were not so particular. He picked up the wine glass and shook it.

"Acilia, how is that guy Dadi doing now?"

"Ma Shi (S) Da Shen (Sen)?"

Aicilia held a piece of chicken drumstick in her mouth and said vaguely:

"Hehe, Brother Dadi is now a sharpshooter in our navy. He is popular wherever he goes, but he is not doing well and is still working as a warrant officer in the East China Sea."

"Warrant officer?" Mads picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, smacked his lips and said, "I guess he is unwilling to be promoted. Otherwise, with his marksmanship, he would be able to become a colonel."

Dadi Masdarson was also one of his former soldiers.After Unit 316 was disbanded, Dadi originally planned to quit the navy with him, but in the end he persuaded him to go back.

"Boom!"

Aicilia deftly bit out the rubber stopper of the wine bottle.

"Brother Dadi was originally resistant to promotion because of that incident. Now that he is married, he probably just wants to stay in the East China Sea and not come out."

"Married?" Mads asked in surprise.

Aecilia poured herself another glass of wine.

"We got married last year. Many people went to the wedding at that time. Brother Dadi originally planned to invite you, the Major General, but unfortunately no one heard from you at that time. Even I only got married because Luluta became a franchise country. I heard your name mentioned by chance."

Mads looked emotional, stared at the glass and murmured:

"It's good that you're married, you finally have something settled... I'll find a chance to make up for it with the gift."
