After the Battle of Marinevando, Smoker originally intended to continue his unfinished business, which was to hunt down Luffy.
However, after the war, things got busy in the headquarters, so the staff department directly called him to clean up the pirates in various places that had arisen due to the redeployment of navy manpower.
Smoker knew that his friend Tina must have had a hand in this.
He also knew the reason. The last time Luffy appeared was with Jinbei and Rayleigh. If he went to look for him rashly, he would have nothing to do if he bumped into these two people.
One is an expert in swordsmanship and the former deputy of the Pirate King, and the other is a master of Yu Ren's karate, with a strong and domineering attitude.
Although he did not waste his physical skills after eating the natural fruit, even so, there was almost no improvement in physical skills, and he could only lose when encountering these two.
Smoker got a new appointment within a few days of catching the pirates like this.
A leapfrog promotion, from captain to lieutenant general. At the same time, they were appointed as a special mobile unit. The team was affiliated to the New World G5 Division. It had no conventional military expenses and could requisition pirates' stolen goods and wealth as regular military expenses. In special times, when personnel are tight, they are allowed to recruit some pirates with good attitudes and no bad criminal records as sailors.
To put it simply, you get promoted, but you have to deal with the employees and the wages paid to them yourself. The more pirates you catch and the more you seize, the more food you will enjoy. If there are few catches and few seizures, then fishing will cost you your life.
This appointment was given just when the Revolutionary Army and the Arashi Organization started to cause trouble, and the purpose was very clear, which was to let him work so that he would not be obsessed with catching Luffy.
Dasqi looked troubled and said, "Lieutenant General Smog, there are several nobles and ministers from the Ababa Kingdom among the people this time. They asked for asylum."
Smoker frowned and glanced at the controlled pirate ship not far away. A few shabby guys on it were talking to the sailors, "You can just refuse this kind of thing! What?" Some rubbish, I won’t keep these troublesome things on my ship, let them sail to find the branch for shelter.”
Dasqi hesitated for a moment, but politely warned, "What if they get it to the World Government later..."
"Then they have to be ranked in the queue. These rubbish, we know all the things these guys did when we came here." Smoker rolled his eyes disdainfully and turned his head and ignored it. this matter.
Along the way, in order to make the operation smoother, the Revolutionary Army and the Lan Organization shared intelligence and used airdrops to make countless people aware of the ugliness buried in many countries. Otherwise, the offensive of the Revolutionary Army and the Lan Organization would not have been so rapid.
But precisely because of this, people either directly followed the revolutionary army and the Lan organization, or they took the opportunity to smash, loot, and buy a few people for zero yuan and then went to sea to become pirates.
This also gave the navy, which came later to resolve the mess, a headache.
If you help, it seems that it will ruin the navy's reputation. If you don't help, it seems that it will also ruin the navy's reputation.
Smoker is a fool, but he is not a fool. He just has a straight personality. The Revolutionary Army and the Arashi Organization's practice of first convicting people and then starting things up is extremely shameless, because although these people may be furious now because of the injustice they have suffered for a long time, people who are emotionally overwhelmed over time will eventually become afraid. . Unless they can make these people firm supporters of the revolution.
Revolution...is a very costly thing.
"Smorg...Lieutenant General! An abnormality was discovered at the 30-degree direction."
Smoker blew out a puff of smoke and said, "Did we find pirates again?"
"No..." the sailor who reported the report looked embarrassed. "It's the moon. There seems to be something approaching us on the moon!"
"Ha!!!o_O||" Smoker looked like he was teasing me.
The navy soldier also seemed to find that there was no way to explain this to Smoker, "Lieutenant General Smoker, you will know after you come out and take a look."
After saying that, he led Smoker out, then handed Smoker the observation glass and pointed in a direction.
Smoker held it doubtfully and looked in the direction pointed by the marine soldier, and then he was stunned.
He quickly took away the observation glass and wiped his eyes, then continued to look, and then he was completely confused, "Wocao, what the hell, is that a meteorite?!"
Without any time to think, Smoker immediately summoned all his people and prepared a response.
As soon as the preparations were made, the sailors on the ship could already see the rocks on the other side. The rocks whose appearance had become red due to air friction were flying towards them at an extremely exaggerated speed. However, the next moment, the meteorite actually cracked, and the stones turned into countless pieces scattered in all directions, like blooming fireworks. And in the center of the fireworks, a strange thing was still flying towards this side.
Smoker's eyes were instantly attracted to that thing, and his intuition told him that there was something wrong with it.
But before that, he needed to consider whether this thing would hit his ship.
Fortunately, that didn't happen
Unfortunately, the thing hit his ship only a hundred meters away.
The huge impact from the sky set off a huge wave comparable to a tsunami. Under such a big wave, even though it had been prepared in advance, the warship rolled in the sea water. When it emerged from the water again, all three main masts had been broken. I don’t know where the broken masts were floating. In this way It was impossible to find it on the choppy sea.
With the help of Dasqi, Smoker choked out several mouthfuls of seawater. For a person with abilities like him, soaking in seawater was not comfortable. "Ahem... Dasqi, count the number of people, confirm the location, and then go to the place just now." that place."
Dasqi nodded, and after confirming that Smoker was okay, he quickly got into work. After a while, the ship produced a very useless mast and held up several small canvases.
The crew has been reduced by 20%, and it is already being salvaged, but it is probably washed farther away by the waves. However, Smoker did not choose to prioritize search and rescue at this time, and the dilapidated ship could not support him to do so. He could only use the phone bug to notify the nearby naval support and then rely on the dilapidated ship to float back to where he was just now.
When the distance was almost there, Smoker took the lead and turned into smoke and flew over.
I saw that the water in that sea area was quickly rolling back after a big wave, forming many large and small whirlpools in the center of the thing just now, and these whirlpools were quickly disappearing.
Smoker didn't care about these whirlpools at all. These whirlpools would disappear soon and would not affect the navigation of the ship at all. His eyes were focused on the centermost place. It was obviously the center, but there were no whirlpools. This only means that the water cannot flow back here, and there is something here.
Seeing, hearing, and feeling, he could feel that there seemed to be a life below.
Suddenly, a bulge appeared in the water, and then 'touch! ! ' With a sound, a strange thing shot out of the water. Then the tail of the strange thing unfolded something, and the thing bounced a few times on the water and stabilized.
As the strange thing stabilized, its head suddenly rotated, opening layer by layer like peeling an onion. Then a man dressed strangely appeared in Smoker's eyes.
This man looked very arrogant with a straight face. He was arrogant and helpless at the same time. His upper body was naked, and his lower body was wearing unbuttoned trousers, but his bare feet were exposed. There was a strange ring on his back. There are a few small drums hung up, and the pattern seems to be the pattern of thunder and lightning from Wano Country.
Seemingly noticing Smoker's gaze, the man turned over lazily.
"Qi, is someone here so soon? That's really troublesome." The man looked at Smoker and scratched his head helplessly, "Well, forget it, let's deal with it."
With that said, the man casually snapped his fingers.
"One hundred thousand volts!"
'boom! ! '
Suddenly, like a bolt from the blue, a bolt of lightning shot out from the man's body and turned into a thunder snake that quickly rushed in front of Smoker.
Smoker faced the lightning without warning or hiding.
The lightning blasted away his body, but only left a hole in Smoker's body, and the smoke quickly merged and returned to its original state.
The man's expression was slightly stunned, and then he felt a little annoyed, "Qi, I've been up there for too long, and I almost forgot about nature." As he spoke, his body turned into a bolt of lightning and got close to Smoker, and he turned around. The foot was aimed at Smoker's head.
Smoker raised his hands in a row, and felt the domineering and armed look on the opponent's feet become colder.
"Although I don't know who you are, your behavior seems to underestimate the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters."
Relying on the floating ability of the fruit, Smoker directly spun in the air, and struck the man's face with a whip leg at a tricky angle.
However, the attack had just begun. The opponent turned into a bolt of lightning and dodged directly behind him. Taking advantage of the gap where Smoker's forward force had just come out and the back force was not sustained, he turned around with a knee and flicked his leg to directly hit Smoker. Kicked away.
"The trouble seems to be difficult to solve." After muttering, the man looked at the strange machine. He opened his mouth and shouted, "Thorgil, is the debugging completed?"
Following the man's voice, three little heads emerged from the strange machine. They were three toy-like villains. Among them, the villain who looked like a toy soldier raised his hand and said, "Master Eniro has debugged it." It’s done, there’s no damage, and it can be started at any time.”
Enel reached out and dug his ears, and glanced at Smoker, who turned around and came back, "Then just start it, let's leave here directly."
"Okay!" Thorgil and his two friends jumped slightly, not knowing where they went. But then the strange machine began to deform rapidly. The metal on the outer skin rolled and deformed rapidly, and soon it transformed into a metal giant.
The giant's eyes lit up with blue light, and some mechanism in the body seemed to be activated. A large amount of hot gas was ejected from the back of the body. After a brief suspension, it rushed into the sky.
Enelu grinned slightly, and glanced again at Smoker who was approaching him and was struck by violent lightning strikes. He raised his hand and a huge thunder ball appeared in his hand, and then he threw it directly towards the sea water below.
The next moment, the thunderball exploded on the sea surface, and countless thunder snakes surged in the sea water. In just an instant, a large cloud of water mist enveloped the nearby area for dozens of meters.
Smoker was naturally not hindered by the mist. He raised his head and escaped from the mist. The mist dissipated quickly, but no matter how fast it was, it was meaningless. Smoker could already see a thunder light in the distance chasing the flying man. The metal giant walked away.
Smoker's face looked very ugly.
"That fruit ability is the Thunder Fruit!"
The Thunder Fruit is also very high in the Navy's Devil Fruit Illustrated Book. The purpose is to let more Navy know about it. Otherwise, even an ordinary Navy can eat the power of this Devil Fruit after a short training. Demonstrate a level of strength that is not inferior to that of a lieutenant general. It has a speed that is not inferior to the Shining Fruit, is not inferior to the power of the Lava Fruit, and has a huge range. However, this fruit has not been discovered for more than a hundred years, and now it seems to have appeared in a person who has trouble dealing with the navy.
Smoker glanced silently, then turned back to the dilapidated warship below. He found that Dasqi was the phone bug who was about to contact the headquarters.
"Put me through Marshal Warring States, important information report!"
