Chapter 836: Look at this uncle, he is not as successful as Macao
Naval warships are not all of the same specifications. Some large warships can easily accommodate one or two thousand naval soldiers. Some of them can even accommodate giants walking around freely on them. The small ones are the kind that Smoker is riding on now.
Although it is a small warship, it is large enough to accommodate 500 people.
"This kind of warship is really good. When we get to the Seven Water City, we will ask them to build a ship according to this standard! A large ship with a capacity of 500 people, it can accommodate everyone in our guild!"
After obtaining Smoker's consent, Kira and others boarded the navy ship and followed them towards Alabasta.
At this time, Kira, Happy, Natsu, Gray, and Romeo sat side by side on the edge of the warship, took out the magic prop [Never Air Force Fishing Rod] that had been sealed in the warehouse for a long time, and began a leisurely fishing exercise.
Snap, snap, snap…
The fishing rod, which had just been in the water for less than half a minute, began to vibrate violently. Kira exerted a little force, and under the effect of magic, the magic power was transformed into a powerful force, pulling the fishhook out of the water.
As Kira moved, the fishing hook drew a beautiful parabola in the air and threw a half-meter-long fish onto the warship.
Kira's eyes lit up instantly, and he cheered: "Ohhhh!! Nice! Another big fish! We can have a snack tonight! Such a delicious fish, should we use it to make soup or grill it? Braised or steamed is also good..."
Seeing this scene, Happy's eyes sparkled and he drooled: "Kira, I want it too!!"
Gray looked at Happy curiously: "Isn't the magic item in your hand the same as Kira's?"
The harpy was a little discouraged and said pitifully: "But my magic power is too low, the fish I caught are all of normal size..."
[Never Miss Air Force Fishing Rod] is Kira's masterpiece. As long as it falls into the water, it can basically hit the target every time. It can be regarded as a very practical magic prop.
But this prop has another feature, that is, if you inject magic power into it when using it, the fish hook will emit a special magic power. The more magic power injected, the higher the quality, the bigger and more delicious the fish attracted will be, and it will also be more convenient for the user to reel in the rod.
Since Kira has plenty of magic power and good control, he can naturally catch any big fish he wants. But it's different for Harpy, he has too little magic power, so he can only catch normal-sized fish every time.
In a place like the Grand Line, even a fish is much stronger than those ordinary fish. Therefore, it is very difficult for Harpy to catch such a big fish. In addition, Kira is also nearby to snatch resources, making it even more difficult.
So far, he has caught some useless sea junk several times in a row.
"Poor harpy, you are already eight years old, don't you understand that simple truth?"
Kira looked at the foolish harpy with clear eyes and taught him in a mysterious way, "In this world, if a cat does not have enough magic power, let alone chasing after a high-quality female cat like Xia Lulu, even whether it can eat enough will become a problem!!"
Happy was instantly terrified: "Is it that serious?!"
"Uh-huh!!"
Kira nodded seriously and continued, "Don't talk about you transcendents, this is the same for humans! Look at the uncle over there, he is 34 years old, but because of his lack of ability, he is still single until now, and his position is only colonel..."
"Oh, you may not know what a colonel is. Let me explain to you. There are a total of fifteen levels in the navy of this world, and colonel is ranked eighth, which is just in the middle stage. Just think about it, a 34-year-old guy has only made it to the middle stage. How bad is he?"
"If you still don't understand, look at Macao. Macao is 38 years old this year, the closest to him among us, but even the weak Macao is younger than Romeo, an 8-year-old kid. With this comparison, you can see how bad that uncle is, right?"
"Now that you put it that way...it seems to be true?!"
Habib nodded in confusion. After a brief moment of deep thought, he was surprised to find that what Kira said might not be entirely right, but it made sense!!
Unlike Habby's stupidity and ignorance, Romeo on the side had already heard it and his face was full of black lines: "Kila, in front of me, can you please not say that about my dad..."
"Ah, sorry, sorry! Isn't this just to educate the harpy? Hahaha..."
Kira skillfully hid his embarrassment with laughter. "By the way, you are the same , and Ben is old enough to understand these things. There is no harm in listening to more..."
Smoker, who was behind the few people, heard Kira's words clearly. He was breathing heavily, blowing out smoke rings one after another, looking at Kira's back with angry eyes, his face was ferocious and his teeth were gnashing. He was obviously very angry, but he could not refute it because what Kira said was true.
At the age of 34, not only is his career not going well (he can't catch Luffy), but his emotional life is also uncertain. The only woman he is close to is Tina, and because of his violent temper, he doesn't even have many normal friends.
Kira's words were like a knife. Although they didn't pierce his vitals, they were extremely painful to him.
In fact, Smoker didn't take these two things very seriously, because his unsuccessful career was caused by his voluntary request to be transferred to Rogue Town in the East China Sea. As for love... he didn't care about those things, but after being said so by a brat, no man could remain calm.
"This damn red-haired brat is so annoying... Tashigi! What are you laughing at?!!"
“Nothing…Nothing…”
Dashigi's face flushed red—from the smile she had just shown—and she hurriedly put away her smile and asked, "Isn't Colonel Smoker with them? I remember you said that we should look up information about the wizards, right? This is a good opportunity!"
You can also catch a few more fish...
Smoker glanced at Kira's action of pulling in the rod and releasing the fish again, and there was a trace of arrogance and disdain in his eyes: "Humph! I don't even have the desire to eat a bite of the fish caught with such a cheating method!"
Half a day later...
Kira waved his hand and gave his catch directly to the chef on the warship, showing the heroic spirit of a man on the sea: "These two hundred fish will be our ship fare, and they will be a snack for the soldiers tonight! Oh, and remember to make more flavors! Steamed, braised, charcoal grilled, souped, stewed, all for me!"
When the chef saw the five hundred fresh fish ranging from half a meter to two meters in length jumping in the bucket, he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head. He was speechless for a long time. When he finally came to his senses, he excitedly bowed to Kira and thanked him: "Thank you very much for your generous gift!!"
Even though people in the pirate world have big appetites, there are certain requirements for the nutritional intake of naval soldiers. It is impossible for them to eat only fish for a meal, so the 500 big fish caught by Kira are a lot of food for a warship like theirs!
"You're welcome! Go get busy!"
"Yes!" The chef saluted Kira solemnly, then ordered someone to carry the fish into the kitchen.
"This guy actually ordered the soldiers on my ship around like this? ! ! " Seeing the chef thanking Kira, Smoker became even angrier, and his curiosity, expectations, and feelings towards Kira plummeted.
Kira would never have thought that the prestige he had deliberately created in the 'Rogue Times Square' was completely destroyed by himself in just half a day... no, it should be a few words.
In the evening, the chef prepared a special fish feast. All the navy men enjoyed the meal very much, including Kira and others, and Smoker as well.
"Colonel Smoker, didn't you say you had no desire to eat a single bite?"
"Humph! That's their boat fare, why shouldn't I eat it?!"
Smoker ate the fish on the plate in front of him with big mouthfuls. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he inexplicably felt that the fish today was more delicious than usual.
"Ten more!"
