In the headquarters’ top-class hot spring hall.
The steam was thick and the heat was rising.
Yichen was half lying in the hot spring pool, the warm water covering his chest, revealing only his smooth shoulder and neck lines and his sharp chin.
His eyes were closed, seemingly resting, but in fact his thoughts had already drifted away.
Kalifa stood quietly by the hot spring pool, her long golden hair casually draped over her shoulders.
Her beautiful eyes stared at Yichen’s profile without blinking, and I don’t know what she was thinking.
Yichen’s mouth curled slightly, “This is a bit interesting…”
Whitebeard had already made a phone call, and the terms were also agreed.
Next, it depends on the direction of the war on top.
“Tram–”
The light and steady footsteps came from far away, breaking the tranquility in the hot spring hall.
Kero quietly came behind Yichen.
“Colonel,”
Kero bowed slightly, “Admiral Kizaru and Admiral Aokiji are here, and with them comes…”
“Admiral Akainu.”
“Oh?”
Yichen slowly opened his eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and repeated with a little surprise, “Akainu is here too?”
With Akainu’s upright and even somewhat stubborn character, he would actually take the initiative to come to him?
It must be about the new navy…
It seems that the work of winning over Huang and Kuzan is going better than expected.
In just half a day, they can convince an admiral of the Navy Headquarters to join the “new navy”.
This efficiency…
The speed of light!
“Yes.”
Yichen winked at Clo, “Let them in.”
“Yes.”�
Kloe responded and turned away.
Seeing this, Kalifa hurriedly followed.
She understood that the following conversation was definitely not something that a small CP9 member like her could participate in.
Even though she had been appointed as the new secretary by the colonel, her position was that of a life secretary.
In terms of administrative affairs, she still had to rely more on her predecessor, Kloe.
And…
The people who were about to participate in the conversation were the highest combat power of the Navy Headquarters, with three admirals gathered together!
A conversation of this level might cause a huge shock in this sea.
Admiral Kizaru and Admiral Aokiji had a close relationship with Colonel Yichen, which was no secret within CP9.
After all, in order to revoke the wanted order for themselves and others, these two people came forward in person.
But Admiral Akainu…
that’s Sakaski, who is known for his “absolute justice”!
He actually got together with Colonel Yichen?
This is simply unbelievable.
“It’s really hard to figure out, Colonel Yichen.”
Kalifa thought to herself, an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart, “He always looks lazy and sloppy…”
“But he can easily stir up the situation in this sea.”
She couldn’t help but look back and secretly looked at Yichen who slowly stood up from the hot spring.
The water droplets slid down his bronze skin, outlining the smooth and powerful muscle lines.
Every inch seemed to be carefully carved, so perfect that it was breathtaking.
The strong abdominal muscles, the broad chest, and the handsome face that was almost weirdHoles, all exuding an indescribable charm.
“…”
Kalifa only felt her cheeks slightly hot, and her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.
She hurriedly lowered her head and quickly followed Clo’s footsteps, hiding the indescribable shock and the throbbing that was about to be suppressed in her heart.
She secretly reminded herself: “I have to go back and remind Lucci and the others that I must not have any second thoughts, otherwise…”
“Who can stop the three admirals of the headquarters from joining forces on this sea?!”
After a while, Kizaru, Kuzan and Akainu walked into the hot springs wrapped in bath towels.
“Hey, Yichen boy, are you enjoying it?”
As soon as Kizaru entered the door, he saw Yichen lying back in the hot spring pool, and immediately showed a smile that said “You really know how to enjoy it.”
His steps became lighter, and he walked to the edge of the pool in three or two steps, and sat down.
The hot steam rose up, blurring the expression on his face.
“Hu——”
Kuzan also followed into the hot spring, and he slowly exhaled a breath of hot air.
The whole person sank into the hot spring pool, with only his head exposed.
“You two guys…”
Akainu looked at the two guys relaxing without any image, frowning, he looked around, and his eyes fell on Yichen.
“Are you Yichen?”
His low and magnetic voice sounded, with a hint of scrutiny and exploration.
“Nice to meet you.”
Yichen stood up calmly, picked up the cigar box next to him, took out a carefully made top-quality cigar from it, and handed it to Akainu, “General Akainu.”
�”Try it?”
“…”
Akainu’s eyes stayed on the cigar for a moment, and he reached out to take it, twisting it lightly with his fingertips, feeling the texture of the cigar.
He put the cigar close to his nose, sniffed it gently, and then lit it.
Take a deep breath, the spicy tobacco flavor permeates the mouth, savor it carefully, and there is a hint of light sweetness.
“This cigar…is not bad.”
Akainu slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and praised it rarely.
As an old smoker, how could I not taste the extraordinary of this cigar?
It is definitely the top-notch stuff on this sea.
Even with his salary as an admiral of the Navy Headquarters, he can’t afford it casually.
“Of course, Sakaski.”
Kizaru interrupted with a smile, “This is a top-grade product that is more precious than the special cigars for the headquarters, and the annual output is fixed.
”
“It’s worth a thousand gold~”
At this time, Clo came in with two boxes, one large and one small.
Yi Chen waved his hand, and Clo opened the smaller box knowingly and took out a box of beautifully packaged cigars from it.
“It’s a small token of my respect, but it’s a gift for meeting you.”
Yi Chen said.
“This…”
Akainu looked at the box of cigars, his eyes flickering slightly.
This box of cigars is almost equivalent to his monthly salary.
This valuable cigar was just given away like that?
Yi Chen, this kid, is really surprisingly generous.
Now, I am even more looking forward to the so-called “continuous military funding support”.
Akainu silently took the cigar box, and his face was actuallyA rare smile appeared on his face.
Then, he took a step and stepped into the hot spring pool.
The warm water instantly enveloped his whole body, dispelling the fatigue along the way.
“Yichen boy…”
Kizaru’s voice came from behind him, with his signature lazy tone, “Where is my bonus?”
“Heh–”
Yichen chuckled and signaled Clo with his eyes.
Cloo understood and slowly opened another larger box.
“Wow–”
The moment the lid of the box was opened, the golden light instantly filled the entire room, almost blinding everyone’s eyes.
“Hey——”
Kizaru grinned, revealing his signature wretched smile, and gave Yichen a thumbs up, “It’s worth my hard work.”
“……”
Akainu’s eyes were instantly attracted by the box of golden berries.
His originally calm eyes were filled with ripples.
He stared at the pile of berries and asked in a low voice: “Bonus?”
“What do you mean?”
Of course I know what “bonus” means, but the amount of this “bonus” is too amazing.
Roughly estimated, there are about 10 billion berries in that box of berries…
1 billion berries are enough to build a top-level navy headquarters ship!
A so-called “bonus” can actually be worth a warship?
This has far exceeded my understanding of “bonus”.
“General Akainu, these are just small change.”
Yi Chen held a cigar in his mouth and spoke in a light tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
“This is just…It’s just the basic monthly salary of the new admiral.”
……
