Without a doubt, this was the red dog's voice. It was serious and slightly hoarse.
Creak!
Cage pushed open the door of Red Hound's office, and Red Hound, who was sitting at his desk, was the first to enter his sight.
Cage quietly observed the Red Hound's resolute face. He was wearing a hat, tall and sturdy, and had a serious expression. He seemed to be the type who did not smile.
Cage looked at Red Hound, and Red Hound looked at Cage at the same time. On his face, his fair skin even had a hint of childishness. The first impression that Cage gave people was that he was young. Even though Cage was now a major general of the navy, he was still not over 20 years old.
Compared to a veteran like the Red Hound, he was too young.
"What's that?" Red Hound asked when he saw the gift box in Cage's hand.
"Do you still need to say it? Of course, I'm here to flatter you!”Cage mumbled in his heart, but he smiled and said,""This is a local specialty of Donghai-cigars!”
Upon hearing this, the red hound's eyes lit up. The corners of its lips curled up slightly, revealing a rare smile that was not very obvious." You're really thoughtful. What you did in the East Ocean and the West Ocean…I heard about it."
Cage, you did well!"
Red Hound praised Cage's behavior and pointed at the sofa opposite the desk. Cage immediately sat down.
"From now on, no matter what you do, just do it. Your teacher Zefa and I will try our best to help you resist the rumors from the navy. The navy's duty is to hunt pirates.”
"I hope you won't disappoint us!" The red dog's eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Definitely!"
Cage nodded heavily and said in a low voice,""General Sakasugi, I hope to transfer your naval forces. The pirates in the East Sea and West Sea have almost been wiped out.”
"Oh?"
The red dog's eyes lit up slightly. Although he did not agree directly, the smile on his face became even more obvious." I can't do this for the time being. I have to get Marshal Zhan Guo's approval first."”
"Alright then."
Cage sighed heavily and looked disappointed.
"But you don't have to be disappointed. One day, you will become my subordinate sooner or later.”The red dog's eyes shone with an intense light.
Cage immediately sensed a hint of ambition, a desire for power.
"I understand."
Cage nodded and chatted with Red Hound for half an hour. When Cage was about to leave, Red Hound gave him something special.
A golden phone bug was pushed in front of Cage.
" This is...?!" Cage looked at the red hound in disbelief and exclaimed,"" The authority to activate the Demon Slayer Token?!"
"Kid, you sure have some knowledge." The red dog smiled faintly and explained,"Your temperament is similar to mine. If you encounter pirates that you can't deal with…" I'll use this. When necessary, it can be considered a means of self-preservation.”
“........”
Cage didn't say anything. He looked at Red Hound gratefully and accepted the Golden Phone Bug decisively. Then, he bowed and thanked him before leaving.
One or two boxes of cigars in exchange for the right to activate the Demon Slayer Token was a huge profit. From this, it could be seen that the Red Hound had already regarded Cage as one of its own. After all, the right to activate the Demon Slayer Token could not be given just like that. It required absolute trust.
However, he had been given the gift the first time they met. Walking in the corridor of the navy headquarters, Cage was still confused and couldn't believe it.
"Looks like I'll be on the same side as the Scarlet Hound in the future.”Cage stood in front of the window and gazed at the sky in the distance, feeling excited.
Following the red dog…Regardless of whether the future was good or bad, he would be able to walk down this path to the end. Moreover, this path was not too bad. At least, Red Hound would become a navy marshal in the future.
After catching his breath, Cage went to find Zefa.
————————————————————
Zefa's office at the naval academy.
"You brat…You're doing well. Sakasugi actually gave you the right to activate the Demon Slayer Token. That guy is very satisfied with you.”
Zefa was also surprised when he heard that Cage had the authority to activate the Demon Slayer Token.
The Demon Slayer Token was a brutal attack that burned everything. It was formed by five Vice Admiral, several Major Generals, and even thousands of elite soldiers.
The fact that the Red Hound had given such power to Cage showed how much it valued him.
"Although this is a good thing, there are some problems that I have to tell you.”
Zefa changed the topic." Where there are people, there will be struggles. This is human nature…The navy headquarters is no exception. You probably know about the relationship between the red dog and the green pheasant, right? The two of them were like fire and water, incompatible with each other.”
"I understand, but these things have nothing to do with me for the time being. After the World Conference, I will return to East Ocean and West Ocean. The conflict between the generals can't be shifted to me.”
Cage said calmly. To be honest, he was not interested in the conflict between Red Hound and Aokiji at all, because neither of them was in the wrong. To put it bluntly, it was just that their personalities and views on pirates were completely different.
On the issue of standpoint, Cage's view was similar to that of the red hound.
