Chapter 81: Go to the old man
On the way back to the Navy Headquarters, Eddie sent the only deputy captain who survived from his hands into the Propulsion City, and they officially headed to the Navy Headquarters.
The moment he was locked into the city, Eddie's time-limited mission was officially completed. Now he has a system backpack that can be put into items in Pirate World.
With the system's "good intention" prompt, he invested all the points earned from the arrest of the pirates, and synthesized the original independent system space and the backpacks he has obtained in one go, and upgraded it to a space where items in two worlds can be stored...
So although he only has one system space left, he has no restrictions on items placed in two worlds.
Now the devil fruit, which was suspected to be a shock fruit, was packed in the system backpack by Eddie.
This time I was completely relieved.
After leaving the propulsion city, at the speed of the warship, they soon returned to the Navy headquarters.
Eddie stood on the deck, and after the warship was docked at the port, the adjutant happened to come with the awakened children.
"Lt. General Eddie, I'll take these kids here first."
Eddie nodded, gave instructions to the soldiers, and walked down the warship.
The warship has its own maintenance personnel to inspect, so he doesn't have to worry about it.
But the person under the warship gave him a headache...
"I'm back, how about I've just come back and go to perform tasks."
Eddie rubbed his head, walked slowly to the person, and began to change the topic directly.
"Sister Taotu, what are you doing here?"
"When you come back, don't change the topic. Sister, I have even lent you my own soldiers."
As he said that, he gave Eddie a throat lock and took him on the way out of the port.
Feeling the warmth on her face, Addison walked forward with Taotu's footsteps without any loss.
Taotu, alternate general of the Navy headquarters.
After Karp took him over, he kept tortured him. Eddie wanted to resist, but his strength was not allowed when he was a child. Although his strength was allowed now, his identity as a man limited him.
So resistance has always been a plan, and now it is a stillbirth...
Eddie thought that Taotu might think she was fun when she was a child, and then the friendly relationship continued until now.
At that time, I was the youngest in the training camp. At that time, I was like a little adult all day long, not like a child at all. So almost Taotu played with him in different ways as long as she was at the Navy headquarters.
But looking at Eddie who was treated like this, the Navy beside him looked envious and wanted to let him replace Eddie, but Eddie silently left tears of bitterness in his heart.
I'm only twenty years old, I can't afford it...
At this time, the voice of Taotu on his head came over: "Hey, Eddie. Tell me about how this mission is like."
Eddie, who was locked in the throat, moved her head and found a suitable angle before answering.
"What else can it be? Just like before, those pirates are no match for them at all. But Sister Taotu has been so long, has the influence of the white beard not completely subsided?"
"That guy still claims to be a beard today..."
As soon as Eddie finished speaking, Taotu suddenly stopped.
Taotu lowered her head and asked Eddie.
"Who did you say, have a beard?"
Eddie was confused and looked at Taotu, who had a little big reaction in confusion.
"That's right, my adjutant said that his name was the one-eyed Captain before, and then he changed his beard to grow. He is really looking for death. It's not good to go wherever he wants to go. He has to come to the Navy headquarters to die..."
Looking at Taotu who was beginning to remain silent, Eddie asked, "What's wrong, Sister Taotu?"
Taotu didn't answer him, but just let go of Eddie and walked straight forward.
Eddie didn't know what was going on, but he followed.
After walking quietly for a while, Taotu sighed and said.
"That beard has been operating on the island near the Navy headquarters recently, and it is very cruel. They not only robbed, but also slaughtered all the invading villages."
"When the navy passed, the guy had already run away, leaving only the body on the ground."
Eddie's eyes were even more unclear this time. This was not the reason why he dared to come to the near Navy headquarters. Isn't he afraid of the navy encirclement and suppression of him?
Perhaps because she understood Eddie's confusion, Taotu continued.
"You also know that after Whitebeard died, all the troops from the Navy headquarters went to the world. Moreover, the high-level combat power of the Navy who went there was no match for the low-level combat power of the headquarters. His bounty was also increasing, and over time it made him a little inflated."
Taotu glanced at Eddie who was walking side by side with him.
"Maybe he also thinks that there is no one in the Navy for the time being, or that he can't pull out his hands to deal with him. But he didn't expect that this time he would meet you who just came back."
Eddie smiled and said, "I'm lucky and I got this guy right after I came back."
Looking at Eddie who was smiling happily, Taotu also smiled.
"Follow me, I will reward you well!" Taotu grabbed Eddie's arm directly.
When Eddie heard this, he, who was still in parallel, quietly took a step back, held up a very reluctant smile, and waved his hand and said.
"No need, Sister Taotu, I have to go to find the old man, I'll leave first."
As he said that, Eddie wanted to escape.
But, the moment Eddie turned around, a knife suddenly penetrated into the wall beside him.
Looking at the reflecting blade stuck on the wall, Addison stopped and swallowed with difficulty.
Taotu held the hilt of the knife in the back hand and said in a secret way behind Eddie: "What, Eddie doesn't want to..."
Eddie turned around with difficulty: The real murderer of this knife almost came down...
So he smiled bitterly, and then he was taken away by Taotu like a little chicken to see his reward...
After leaving Taotu's house, Eddie turned around and looked at Taotu's house with a wry smile.
Really, I'm so old, I want to take a shower with me just like I was a kid...
Slowly leaving Taotu’s house, he thought on the way whether to go to the orphanage first or the old man’s place first.
But while he was struggling, he seemed to see the old man's adjutant, Bogart.
He quickly ran towards Bogart, who was about to disappear on the street corner.
"Uncle Bogart!"
Bogart, who was holding two boxes of fairy beans, heard someone calling his name, looked back and found Eddie running towards him.
Eddie, who ran to him, smiled and said hello to Bogart.
Bogart also smiled and replied, "Isn't this Eddie? I've grown so tall after not seeing you for a few days."
Have you grown taller? Eddie scratched his head and thought, no.
But Eddie didn't care. He took the two boxes of fairy beetles from Bogart's hand and then said.
"Uncle Bogart, is the old man in the headquarters?"
"Lieutenant General Karp is in the headquarters now, and you know that he has now withdrawn from the front line and moved to the second line to be an instructor. So after returning to the headquarters from the island where you practice, he has been in training camp. He should be training recruits now."
