Two days later.
Ripples appeared on the surface of the sea. A naval warship cut through the thistles and thorns, galloping through the sea at the fastest speed. Its destination was the naval headquarters, Malin.
On the deck of the warship, Cage found a couch and lay down to bask in the sun, enjoying the rare tranquility.
"Major General Cage, we will reach the navy headquarters in about half an hour.”
The soldiers saluted and reported. Cage waved his hand, and the soldiers retreated.
"I hope there won't be any trouble this time.”
Cage let out a sigh of relief. To put it simply, he was going back to the navy headquarters to report on his work. After all, he had caused a lot of trouble outside.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Cage's warship finally docked at the port of Marlin.
On the dock, Zefa came to welcome them in person. Besides him, Cage's navy recruit Binz was also there.
"Yo…Long time no see, Binz!" Cage raised his hand politely, and the latter's face twitched.
Cage used to be his rival. Now that he had returned from half a year's absence, he was already a major general of the navy.
As for Binz, he was only a first lieutenant. Even Ain had been promoted to captain, which made him lose face.
"Teacher Zefa."
A bright smile appeared on Cage's face when he saw Zefa. He was grateful and respectful to his mentor from the bottom of his heart, and his domineering aura came from Zefa.
"Hahaha... We haven't met for half a year. You've grown a lot taller and your body has become stronger.”Zefa patted Cage's shoulder and grinned in satisfaction.""Have you brought me the fine wine from the East Ocean and the West Ocean?”
"Of course. In order to buy these fine wines for you, I owe the bar owner several years of salary. I'll have to live on a tight budget for the next few years.”" And you might not know this," Cage complained, feeling wronged." If I hadn't told them my identity as a rear admiral, they would have thrown me out as a liar.”
"That's strange. You're not even afraid of Green Pepper and Qiwu Hai, yet you were almost chased out by the owner of a bar.”Zefa laughed heartily, and Cage was happy to see that. Mr. Zefa was in good health.
"Bring me all the fine wine I brought.”Cage said to the soldiers on the ship.
"Alright... Let's go to Sengoku's office first. He's been waiting for you.”
Zefa left with Cage.
——————————————
"Brat…You've turned West Ocean and East Ocean upside down in the past six months. Even the World Government knows about Cage.”
In Marshal Sengoku's office, Sengoku looked at Cage meaningfully." Even the Five Old Stars praised you.”
"No way!"
Cage scratched his head in disbelief. He was just a nobody. Even if he was a general, he was just a prop in the eyes of the Five Old Stars, let alone a rear admiral.
"You've dealt with many pirates in the East Ocean and the West Ocean. You've also expelled the Revolutionary Army and even killed their commander…You saved many countries that were falling apart, and the kings of those countries also returned the favor and helped you put in a lot of good words.”Zhan Guo said slowly.
"Expel the pirates and give the people a peaceful and healthy life…This is my duty, my unshirkable duty.”Cage replied with a serious face, but he was very happy.
If he could gain the favor of the Five Old Stars, he would definitely be able to ascend to the heavens in one step.
"The navy needs an excellent general like you.”Zhan Guo looked at Cage with satisfaction, neither arrogant nor impatient. Then he sighed heavily and said,""Your contributions are enough to promote you to lieutenant general, but you're too young and your promotion speed is too fast. Wait a year and a half, and I'll promote you to lieutenant general.”
"Thank you for your nurturing, Marshal!"
Cage gave a standard 90-degree bow.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I actually have something to tell you when I called you back.”
Sengoku looked at Cage seriously and said,"" The World Conference is about to be held in Maryjoa. The countries that join the World Government will all rush to Maryjoa from their respective countries. It's not an exaggeration to say that the journey is thousands of miles. For the safety of those nobles, the navy will transfer a portion of their forces to protect them.”
"And I'm one of them, right?”Cage understood Sengoku's intention.
"That's right. Let's go back and rest for the time being…Just wait for my order."
A few minutes later, Cage left the Sengoku Marshal's office. He even ran into Aokiji and Karp. When they passed each other, Cage saluted them. After all, they were both his superiors, a lieutenant general and a general.
Karp and Qing Zhi only nodded and didn't say anything.
Watching the two leave, Cage didn't chase after them.
Cage had been labeled as a member of the Red Hound Faction. If the Red Hound found out that he was too close to Qing Zhi, he would definitely be involved. One had to understand that Qing Zhi and Chi Quan did not speak much.
Ten minutes later, at the door of the Red Hound General's office, Cage took a deep breath. After he gradually calmed down, he said loudly,""General Sakasugi, Cage is here to report!”
The so-called reporting work…It was complete nonsense.
"Come in."
The office was silent for two to three seconds before a rather deep voice sounded.
…
The new book needs everyone's care. I hope that all the big shots will support it.
