Chapter 69: Koxinga's Intelligence

  One week later, Naval Branch 76, Training Grounds.

  Hobodi's head was covered with a black cloth, and more than a dozen naval soldiers held clubs in their hands, surrounding Hobodi and beating him without frenzy. However, the falling motion of those more than a dozen clubs could always be avoided by Hobodi to the extreme limit.

  From outside the training ground, Monet walked in with a stack of documents in his hand. Suddenly, Hobodi raised his hand to signal the soldiers to stop their actions and tore open the black cloth.

  "What's wrong?"

  "The commander's aura is getting more and more intimidating!"

  The tone of this sentence is more sarcastic than praising, and he's not being attacked by so many people now because his sensory perception is very keen, but because these soldiers are too slow to react.

  However, Hobodi's reason for having these soldiers attack themselves is not to see the growth of their aura, but to adjust the degree of reaction between seeing the aura and the body.

  After all, even if you can perceive it, if your body is not used to it, it's pointless if you can't effectively avoid it.

  Moreover, he was overbearing. In the year and a half of his secluded cultivation, he had always been the shortcoming of Hoboldi, especially in terms of his appearance. This was something that only Monet knew. So when Monet said this, Hoboldi's face suddenly turned unpleasant: "What brings you here?"

  "The communication from the Warring States General, it should be a transfer of position!" Mona said with a hint of intention in front of the 76th branch soldiers, some were delighted and some were worried, but all of this had nothing to do with Hobardy.

  "I'll be right there."

  A few minutes later, Hobodi arrived at the intelligence room, and from the telephone bug came the appointment of Warring States:

  "Hopody, the transfer to Alabasta that you applied for has been approved, but due to your being a lieutenant colonel and another factor, you won't have your own warship. Moreover, when you are transferred to that region, you must obey the arrangements of the naval officer in charge of managing that sea area."

  "That's another factor, I suppose?" Under someone else's eyelids, this was not what Hobodi wanted. Suddenly, Hobodi furrowed his brow: "Can I apply to set up a naval base there?"

  "No way!" Shang Guo slapped the table and said, "Firstly, the Alabastan Kingdom is currently in a state of tension and it's impossible for them to agree to our entry now. Secondly, that ancient kingdom has always been autonomous and will not be managed by the Navy. Unless they actively seek help from the Navy, we cannot set up a naval base there."

  "They are also allies of the world government? Why don't they agree." Hobodi was somewhat puzzled.

  "The Kingdom of Alabastan is different, especially the surname Nefertari!" The Warring States rubbed his temples in distress, unable to tell Hopodi that this kid Nefertari was one of the twenty dragon kings who originally formed the world government and had not moved into the Holy Land of Maryjoa.

  Especially since Croakdile is still there, that little guy who has been practicing for a year and a half and isn't afraid of tigers might just go there and clash with Croakdile like dry firewood meeting a raging flame.

  "Then who is the officer I will be serving under after being dispatched there? Can't you at least tell me that in advance?"

  The Warring States let out a sigh of relief, and his tone became more cheerful: "The one in charge of the sea area near the Kingdom of Alabasta is Tyna, she's now a Colonel. Among the trainees trained by Zeffa, although you're not from the same batch, I suppose you should know each other?"

  Hoboldi's eyebrows furrowed again at these words. He didn't have the memories of this body's original owner, and if he were to go there and be discovered...

  Should I go ahead and take out that colonel as King?

  "If you want to understand, before the Great Voyage, you can go to Roguetown and find Smoker, he and Tyna are from the same era and get along well, but one is a problem child and the other is diligent and devoted, I think if you behave yourself there, it shouldn't be too difficult to get by."

  As soon as the words "Warring States" came out, Hoboldi immediately vetoed his previous idea. If he were to get rid of Tina, it's possible that the guy Vilgo called a "mad dog" would frequently come after him. In Pongkhasad, he was also an unconventional naval officer, and it's likely that his identity as King would be exposed.

  "It's settled then, I'll talk to Tyna about your matter later. Also, remember that Crocodile has been appearing frequently in that country recently, he must have some ulterior motive. Hopodi, you remember this for me, he definitely has some purpose there, if anything unusual happens, report back to me immediately. Ugh, these Seven Warlords are really one trouble after another..." With a sigh, the call with Sengoku was cut off.

  Hobodi sat alone in the intelligence room, deep in thought. Monet smiled playfully beside him: "Commander, are you worried? Black Tina is a flower of the Navy Headquarters, Master. You can use the same method to tame me and make her obedient too."

  "The woman who has taken the position of Upper School is not that easy to deal with. Moreover, having been in the Navy since childhood, her willpower is almost impossible to break, which is the key point." Hobody hummed and felt a bit troubled. Female naval officers, dealing with Monet's despicable methods may work for some people who have loopholes to exploit, but it's absolutely impossible to deal with this kind of female naval officer who has no weaknesses to exploit.

  With a different identity, slaughter all her subordinates and tame them? As soon as this idea came out, Hobodi immediately denied it. This is almost no different from killing Tina. Monet was abandoned by people and couldn't find the goal of survival, so she would be obedient to him only when he took advantage of her weakness. The female naval officer is different.

  "Rumble, rumble... Rumble, rumble..." Suddenly, the voice of the telephone bug from the intelligence room interrupted Hobodi's thoughts again.

  "Hey!"

  "Is this Commodore Hopper? I'm Brigadier General Brinbrin of the 77th Branch... I'm dying, but hurry and report to HQ, the great pirate fishman Arlong who has been hiding in the East Blue... They're at Cocoyasi... Uggghhh!! Bleep----"

  The phone bug spat out a mouthful of blood arrows, and this conversation left both Hopper and Mona in the intelligence room stunned.

  "Is it Konami Island's Kokosia village famous for its oranges?"

  Monet covered his mouth and chuckled: "It's just the right distance from Barati, if we go now, we'll probably arrive by tomorrow morning. This is a great opportunity to avenge our colleagues."

  "Get ready for departure! However, Monet, this time you're coming with me."

  "Oh no~? Does Master want to... with me on the boat... I'm so excited~" Mona licked her lips.

  Hoboldi shook his head: "I plan to take the warship to Kokoxia Village, and then we'll head straight to Rog Town."

  "What about those soldiers? And what about that woman?" Monet asked.

  "I'll appoint Woods as acting commander before the new commander arrives, and after resolving the Conomi Islands incident, I'll let him bring the soldiers back. I think he's been eyeing this position for a long time, so he should be quite pleased. As for Faye, I'll go talk to her later!"

  "After that we went to Rog Town to find Smog, then enter the Great Voyage? Entering the Great Voyage from Twin Cape is very dangerous, why not go through the Navy's route?"

  Hobodi burst out laughing: "I can't just enter the Great Route alone, that one billion one hundred million Belli King must also be known to the Navy that he has entered the Great Route."

  "Isn't it suspicious that the timing just happens to match?"

  "Apprehend deserters, it's a naval responsibility."

  "Are you going to fight with yourself?" Mona asked with a playful smile.

  "I'm Navy Headquarters Hopodi, Monai. What you said is easily misunderstood."

  "I understand. What about Kuro in the prison, how should we deal with him?"

  "That's King's business."
