The next morning, Ling Xiao got dressed and had breakfast. He then told Cannavaro what to do after he left. Then, he led 50 officers and soldiers onto the warship under the admiring gazes of all the navy officers.
"Attention all ships, target headquarters, set off!”Ling Xiao ordered from the warship.
Slowly, the warship began to move toward the navy headquarters. Ling Xiao waved at all the naval officers who came to send him off on the shore, and all the naval officers on the shore saluted Ling Xiao. Just like that, Ling Xiao set off for the front line under the gaze of all the navy officers and soldiers.
"Phew, we've finally arrived. Attention all soldiers, prepare to enter the main stronghold.”Ling Xiao sailed on the warship for two hours before he finally saw the huge fortress. He sighed in his heart, Although this is the second time I've seen it, it still gives me a strong visual impact.”So it was the same as the first time, the fortress full of cannons.
Ling Xiao's warship quickly entered the main stronghold and docked at the dock. Ling Xiao thought to himself," The navy headquarters is really my lucky place. I was promoted to major general the first time I came, and I'm promoted to general the second time." This feeling is really extraordinary."
"General, we can already land.”Just as Ling Xiao was deep in thought, he was suddenly interrupted.
Ling Xiao looked at the young navy officer who was reporting to him with a look of admiration. He smiled at him and said,""Alright, get ready. Everyone disembark, and then you can disperse.”
Ling Xiao got off the boat and looked around at the troops that were welcoming him. Two rows of navy soldiers were standing neatly. He thought to himself, This time, I'm not borrowing Old Man Karp's glory.”Ling Xiao smiled as he walked.
Suddenly, Ling Xiao realized that someone had come to welcome him. It was Tina, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Tina no longer looked like the person he had met for the first time. She gave off a mature vibe. Along with him were two old acquaintances, Smog and Dusky.
"Ah, I've troubled you to come and welcome me.”Ling Xiao walked over and joked.
"Yes, we are here to welcome you, our Great General.”Tina replied jokingly.
"Ling Xiao, you're really amazing. As expected of a legendary figure in our navy. You've become a general so quickly. This has never happened before in history.”Smoggy said to Ling Xiao with a smile.
"Major General Ling Xiao's sword skills must have improved a lot. I heard that you defeated the world's number one sword hero, Hawkeye.”Dusky said.
"Second Lieutenant Deski, you can't call this Major General in front of you anymore. You should call him General instead.”Tina teased.
"Alright, alright, let's not care about this between us.”Ling Xiao smiled at the three of them. At the same time, he was thinking, This Dusky really is a sword maniac.”
"Alright, alright. Honey, Smoggy, and Dusky, let's not stand here. There are still people behind us.”Ling Xiao said to Tina and the others. At the same time, he pouted his lips behind his back.
As the three of them walked, they suddenly met an acquaintance. "Yo, General Qing Zhi, long time no see." Ling Xiao greeted.”
Qing Zhi also saw Ling Xiao and walked over. "It's been a long time, but Major General Ling Xiao, after noon, we'll be colleagues. Don't call me general anymore, just call me Qing Zhi.”Qing Zhi said to Ling Xiao.
"Well, that's good too. I also think that it's very inconvenient.”Ling Xiao said to Qing Zhi with a smile.
"Oh, right, Karp is back. Aren't you going to meet him?”Qing Zhi said to Ling Xiao.
"Is that so? Papa Karp is here. That's great. I'll go see him right away.”When Ling Xiao heard that Karp had actually come, he felt a little strange. Wasn't he looking at Luffy? Why would he come to attend this Honors Ceremony? However, he was more happy. After all, he hadn't seen Karp for a long time.
"In that case, Qing Zhi, I'm going to visit father. Are you coming?”Ling Xiao said to Qing Zhi.
"I won't go. You go. I still have something to do.”Qing Zhi looked at Ling Xiao with a sleepy expression.
When Ling Xiao saw Qing Zhi's expression, he knew that Qing Zhi's so-called matter was actually going to sleep. He shook his head helplessly and said to Qing Zhi,"
"Then, I'll go."
"Okay, go ahead. I'll be leaving first." Qing Zhi said to Ling Xiao.
"Tina, come with me to see Dad. Smoggy, are you guys coming?”Ling Xiao said to Tina and the others after Qing Zhi left.
"I, I won't go. After all, this is your daughter-in-law meeting your father-in-law. What's the point of me going?" Smoggy answered Ling Xiao.
"I'm not going either. I'm going to the Kendo arena at the navy headquarters.”Dusky said after thinking for a moment.
"Fine. Since none of you want to go, Tina and I will go.”Ling Xiao said to them.
"Alright, then I'll leave with Deski. You guys go ahead.”Smogue said to Ling Xiao as he bid farewell.
"Tina, let's go. After all, even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws.”Ling Xiao said to Tina with a smile. He reached out his arm to her.
"Hmph, Tina isn't an ugly wife. Tina is very beautiful.”Tina said to Ling Xiao unhappily, but she still reached out and hugged Ling Xiao's arm.
"We're finally here. It's quite difficult to find.”Ling Xiao and Tina had asked for directions countless times along the way. They finally arrived at Karp's room.
" Bang bang bang " Ling Xiao knocked on the door and suddenly heard a sound coming from inside.
"Who is it? How dare you disturb me from eating my donut?" A shout came from the house.
Ling Xiao immediately knew that it was Karp's voice. After all, there were very few people like Karp who would eat donut for no reason.
"Dad, long time no see. How have you been?”Ling Xiao asked as he looked at the person who opened the door.
"Oh, Ling Xiao? He's been doing well recently. He's about to become a general. I'm still the same as before, training Luffy every day so that he can experience his beloved grandfather's iron fist of love.”An old man wearing a dog-headed hat and a navy general's uniform faced Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao looked at Karp in front of him. He was still as energetic as before. He was very happy, but then he thought about Luffy and Karp's Iron Fist of Love, and he felt a chill down his spine.
"Oh? Isn't this Tina? Why are you two together? Not bad, kid. You took down the Flower of the Navy so quickly.”When Karp saw Tina with Ling Xiao, he said to Ling Xiao in a nice tone,"
Tina blushed when she saw the navy hero whom she used to admire teasing her. She could not speak.
"Alright, old man, let's not talk about this anymore. I just came to tell you that this is my wife, your daughter-in-law.”Ling Xiao looked at Tina. He quickly spoke up for Tina.
"Well, let's come in and talk. Tell me about your experience during this period of time. I heard that you saw Ace. He was on White Beard's ship, and you even fought with White Beard.”Karp said to Ling Xiao.
"Yes, we did fight once, but there's still a big gap between us. I've also met Ace. This kid is living quite well now. He's quite happy every day. Perhaps it's not a bad choice for him to become a pirate.”
"Oh? Then tell me about your experience during this period of time.”Karp looked at Ling Xiao excitedly, as if he had returned to his youth.
"Yeah, I've been with Pluto and Hawkeye.。。。。。。。”The two of them chatted while Tina sat at the side. She didn't say much, but would occasionally glance at Ling Xiao beside her and listen carefully to his experiences.
"Alright, brat, it's about time. We should go and participate in the Honor Ceremony.”Ling Xiao and the other two had unknowingly chatted for a long time. Then, Karp looked at the time and said to Ling Xiao,"
"Okay, let's go then." Ling Xiao picked up his coat and put it on, and at the same time, he helped Tina put on her coat.
"Sigh, why haven't I seen you kids serve me properly?”Karp said emotionally when he saw Ling Xiao smiling considerately.
Hearing Karp's words, both Ling Xiao and Tina burst into laughter. Then, she walked out of the room and headed to the venue.
Ling Xiao and the other two walked for a long time before they finally arrived at a huge open space. The surroundings of the venue were also decorated very solemnly, and there was a long table in the middle.
Ling Xiao thought, This is the venue, it's open air. However, it was quite solemn. There were probably many people attending.”
Just as Ling Xiao was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the speakers around him.""Everyone, the honor ceremony will begin in half an hour. Please be ready in half an hour.”
