After Faulkner and Gilas left, a transparent shadow crept on the edge of the windowsill. Klaur seemed to walk out of the wall. He opened the cabinet of the bookshelf on the side, revealing Star wrapped in a black cocoon. A pair of pupils stared at Klaur and Yarlin without blinking.
"Look, from a certain point of view, I did save your life. Otherwise, you should be a corpse now." Yarlin joked.
"You just want to use me to threaten Gilas and Faulkner. You don't have any good intentions." Star struggled desperately, but he couldn't break the shackles of the black silk.
"It seems that Investigator Star is already very clear about his situation." Yarlin glanced at Klaur and said, "Send him to prison and treat him with the same standard as Colonel Monca."
…
A month passed in a flash.
Marin Van Do, the Grand Line, the Marine Headquarters that symbolized power and justice.
In the routine meeting of the headquarters, those who were eligible to participate in the meeting were the generals of the headquarters. There were some figures sitting around a round table. Many of the seats were empty, indicating that a large number of generals were absent. In fact, except for major events, there was no need to order all the generals to be present.
The meeting was in progress. After the reports from all over the world were screened, these incident reports were divided according to level. The more important ones were sent to this conference table, and the generals who were currently participating in the meeting made a decision after discussion.
"… The pattern of the New World has not changed. The battle between the Yonkō (Four Emperors) has gradually entered a stable stage. The latest movement of Whitebeard …"
"… There is no problem with the sea train plan …"
"… The revolutionary army has been quiet for a period of time, like a group of bedbugs that have stepped into some corner again …"
"… The Celestial Dragons seem to have made some trouble recently. Someone has been sent to deal with it …"
"…"
In the smoke-filled conference room, the reports of the events that were sorted out and reported were quickly discussed and decided. The integrated report of the series of events in the East China Sea was at the bottom of the list. This showed that the level of the East China Sea incident could not be compared with the previous events.
At least, that was what the lower departments thought when they screened the report. The reason why it was finally submitted to this conference table was that the recent incidents in East Sea were relatively frequent and involved the headquarters' Colonel "White Hunter" Smoker.
"… A group of pirates appeared in the East Blue and massacred the Naval Branch. They are called the Black Skull Pirates and their captain is William …"
"Smoker sent a report to ask for forgiveness. Heh ~ Interesting. It seems like Smoker suffered a severe setback in the hands of this new Colonel Yarlin!" Yamakaji had a cigar in his mouth as he looked at the report in his hand, taking in large mouthfuls of smoke.
When the generals heard this, some of them were cold and indifferent, some of them had mocking smiles on their faces, and some of them opened their mouths and yawned. All of them had different expressions.
"Together with that report, there is also the investigation report of this Colonel Yarlin from the intelligence department." Vice-Admiral Tsuru, who served as a staff officer of the Marine Headquarters, pointed to a report under the table and said faintly: "I have read this report. He can tie with Smoker, and he also has ambition and skill. It seems that he has some value in training."
"I heard that there is a Marine Club in East Blue recently?" Behind him hung a scattered sharp blade, like the open limbs of a spider, which looked extremely ferocious, the Marine Vice-Admiral nicknamed Onigumo scratched his ear hole.
"A loose interest club, it can be regarded as a clique, but it's still just a game." Wearing a plaid coat and with food residue on the corner of his mouth, Vice-Admiral Vergo raised his eyebrows slightly and said faintly: "The weak guys just like to huddle together for warmth. After all, there are pirates who dare to attack the Naval Branch in East Blue, hahaha."
It seems to be a disapproving taunt, but it seems that there is a trace of partiality in the words, which weakens the danger of the Marine Club.
"By the way, they can collude together to make more money!" Weasel, wearing a light blue and purple striped suit, blue shirt, tie, Mohawk, dark purple hair and beard, sneered. He and Smoker are both students of Teacher Z.
"… Well, the report also mentioned those smelly rats of the Revolutionary Army!" Vice-Admiral Doberman, whose face was crisscrossed with ferocious scars, saw the words "Suspected Revolutionary Army Cadre Overrock Fruit User Dai Ou" on the last page of the report.
"The people of the intelligence department shouldn't be wrong, and …" Vice-Admiral Tsuru said: "There is also a report directly from 153 Branch that was submitted almost at the same time as the investigation report of the intelligence department. Of course, the report basically scolded Smoker for overestimating himself."
This report was sent by Yarlin to the headquarters three days after Giles and Faulkner left. It was a report that was in line with the tone of 153 Branch. Naturally, there were all kinds of strong subjective emotions between the lines.
The purpose was nothing more than to make the report of the investigation headquarters look more realistic, fair, and objective.
Of course, in addition to the report, there was also a severed head that was salted with lime. The General Staff had already confirmed the true identity of the head. It was the Revolutionary Army's spy cadre, the chameleon Devil Fruit user, Mick.
"So, how does Great Staff Officer Tsuru think this matter should be dealt with?" Weasel asked expressionlessly.
"Smoker didn't listen to the dispatch. He still needs to be polished. In that case, let him continue to be stationed in Roguetown. He is not allowed to leave without orders." Tsuru said the draft that she had already prepared in her heart: "Colonel Yarlin has a certain amount of ambition and ability. He can be promoted and trained … But the East China Sea is not suitable for him. In my opinion, it is better to transfer him to the Grand Line!"
Weasel's eyebrows gradually relaxed and no longer spoke. Vergo's expression couldn't be seen under the black sunglasses. The other Vice-Admirals also didn't say anything. A small colonel was not worthy of their too much attention and discussion.
"Colonel Yarlin's military rank and position will be assigned to the headquarters!"
It seemed to be a transfer of the same rank, but in fact, the military rank of the headquarters was more valuable than that of the branch. The colonel of the branch was only equivalent to the captain of the headquarters. Yarlin was directly promoted by one rank.
"Transfer to the Grand Line. Transfer to Alabasta as a resident officer of the local Navy." Tsuru said softly. This was the solution given by the General Staff for the investigation report. Regardless of the proportion of true and false attributes in the report, whether it was for promotion and training, or as a consideration for appropriate vigilance, directly transferring him out of the East China Sea was the best solution.
They chose Alabasta because the General Staff received news that the recent situation in Alabasta was unstable. The most important thing was that the Sand Crocodile seemed to be a little restless. After the General Staff analyzed Yarlin's ability and character, they felt that Yarlin was a suitable candidate.
