The natural system started off strong, but the navy finally reached its peak!

What's more, the other party is a fluffy rabbit!

But Libo's eyes were so pure and untainted, showing absolutely no hint of competition.

Instead, they acted like obedient children, saying, "You be the boss, I'll be the subordinate."

"Did she know she couldn't compete with me, so she willingly became a concubine?" Gion's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

For a moment, I was even confused—had I misunderstood something?

Gion took a deep breath, trying to suppress the strange feeling in her heart, and said coldly, "Don't touch me."

Libo immediately withdrew her hand, her ears drooping, looking somewhat aggrieved: "I'm sorry, sister."

Gion: "..."

She suddenly felt guilty for bullying a child.

An awkward silence fell between the two.

Gion's prepared questions and demonstrations were completely thwarted by Ribo's natural naiveté.

She even began to wonder if she had made a mistake.

This rabbit doesn't look like it has any ulterior motives at all.

Just then, footsteps came from the end of the corridor.

It turned out that Gern had returned carrying a stack of documents. When he saw the two people at the door, he paused and asked, "Gion? When did you get back?"

Gion turned to look at Guern, still a little angry inside, and said coldly, "It seems I came back at the wrong time?"

Gern raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping between the two of them. As if he had noticed something, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "How could that be? It's a good opportunity to introduce you two."

He walked over to Ribo and ruffled her hair. "Ribo, this is Commodore Gion, my..."

Ribo's eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded: "We already know each other! Right, Gion-neechan!"

Gern: "Sister?"

“That’s right, I’ll be the boss! Any objections?” Gion coughed lightly, her ears turning slightly red.

Gern glanced at Gion, then at the innocent-looking Ribo.

Waiting... what exactly happened? Why is there pity in Ribo's eyes when she looks at Gion?

Gion's gaze towards Ribo conveyed a sense of "I've won, I'm the boss now."

What are these two rabbits up to?

Gern was about to say something, but then sighed and said, "Never mind. Don't stand there, come in and sit down."

Gion wanted to refuse, but Ribo forcibly pulled her inside.

After entering the house, Libo warmly poured Gion a cup of tea and even added a carrot-shaped stirring stick.

"Gion-neechan, try this! It's something Gern brought back from outside, it's delicious!"

Gion took the teacup, looking at the carrot decorations floating inside, her feelings were complicated.

She took a sip, the cloying sweetness making her frown slightly, but seeing Libo's expectant eyes, she reluctantly nodded: "It's alright."

Lippo happily wiggled her droopy ears, turned and ran into the kitchen: "I'll go get some snacks!"

After she left, Gion immediately put down her teacup and looked coldly at Guern: "Explain yourself?"

Gern shrugged: "As you can see, Lipo is my adjutant and my partner."

"Partners?" Gion sneered. "Partners who live together?"

Gern said helplessly, "She's young and just arrived in Marineford, so it's convenient for me to take care of her while she stays here temporarily."

Gion gave a soft snort, clearly not quite believing it.

But before she could continue questioning, Lippo had already returned with the snacks.

"Sister, these are carrot juice cookies that Lina from Teacher Zefa's family taught me to make!"

Libo pushed the plate in front of Gion, her eyes sparkling, "You should try it!"

Gion stared at the crookedly shaped carrot cookies on the plate and remained silent for a moment.

She picked up a piece, took a bite, and the sweet carrot flavor instantly filled her mouth.

"Not bad," Gion said, still managing to sound reluctant.

Libo immediately beamed: "That's great! I was worried that Gion-neechan wouldn't like it!"

For the rest of the time, Ribo acted like an enthusiastic little hostess, constantly showing Gion the layout of her home.

He even took out his treasured carrot doll to show her.

Gion went from being indifferent at first, but gradually became infected by Ribo's innocence, and her expression softened a lot.

In other words, she, Gion, suddenly!

It seems... I've been outmaneuvered by this rabbit.

……

[Please give me a free gift!!]

Chapter 90 Transfer to G-3

In the days that followed, a strange storm swept through Marineford Naval Headquarters.

Gion began frequently visiting Guern's residence, each time with a plausible excuse.

It was either "checking on the training progress of the newly promoted adjutant" or "transmitting Lieutenant General Tsuru's documents."

On one occasion, she even held a stack of books and solemnly stated that "the fur tribe needs to supplement their cultural education."

In short, every time Gern opened the door, he would see her standing there with a cold face, while Lippo would excitedly rush over and shout, "Sister!"

Then I dragged her inside to eat freshly baked carrot cookies.

Gion's previously tense smile gradually relaxed during these visits.

One day, she couldn't resist touching Lippo's floppy ear, but immediately put on a stern face after realizing what she had done.

But Libo had already snuggled up to her with a grin and said, "Sister's hands are so warm!"

Meanwhile, gossip was rampant at the Navy Headquarters.

"Have you heard? Momousagi has been going to Brigadier General Gern's house every day lately!"

"It's said that it's to keep a close eye on that furry rabbit, in case she 'steals' their home!"

"But why did I see Gion carrying Ripo while shopping yesterday? That rabbit even picked out a carrot hair clip for her!"

"More than that! I saw her grooming that rabbit with my own eyes!"

"Impossible! It must be Warrant Officer Gion's plan!"

The rumors grew increasingly outrageous, eventually evolving into the annual drama of "Peach Rabbit and the fluffy adjutant vying for a man's affections."

In the tavern, Kakei clutched a bottle of sake, tears streaming down his face: "Why...why would Gion accept a rabbit rather than even glance at me..."

The surrounding navy soldiers moved away in unison, and someone secretly took out a video Den Den Mushi.

Meanwhile, at the heart of the event—in Gurn's home—Libo is pinning her newly made "sister" carrot badge to Gion's cloak.

Gion looked down at the crooked metal carrot and said softly, "It's hideous."

But she didn't take it off.

......

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

Last time it was a private order from Steelbone Kong, now Gern's transfer order has been officially issued.

The order's wording: "A powerful alliance to forge a new world-class naval defense."

Three days later, he will take Ribo to the G-3 base in the New World, directly under Lieutenant General Sakazuki.

The news caused an uproar throughout headquarters.

"Brigadier General 'Skyquake' Gern is going to G-3!" A new recruit waved his hand excitedly on the training field.

"And he's even partnered with Lieutenant General Sakazuki!"

"What a powerful alliance!" The veteran next to him exclaimed, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"One can shatter the sky, and the other can melt through the earth. The pirates of the New World are going to be in big trouble."

In the mess hall, several lieutenants huddled together, having a heated discussion: "Do you remember how Brigadier General Gern managed to sink the 'giant battleship' San Juan Wolf to the bottom of the sea?"

Now, add Lieutenant General Sakazuki's absolute justice....

"An absolute crushing force!" someone slammed their fist on the table and stood up. "Those arrogant New World pirate crews, prepare to face the Navy's justice head-on this time!"

"Brigadier General Gern is going to G-3? With Lieutenant General Sakazuki?"

Some officers who knew the two men's personalities well, such as Huoshaoshan and Shiteles, all graduates of the first naval academy, looked worried.

"Two extremists have teamed up?"

"It's over, the new world is going to explode."

......

In the office, Guern was organizing documents, while Lippo sat by the window, swinging her legs and munching on a carrot cake that the Zephyr family had sent.

“Gern, what’s G-3 base like?” she asked, tilting her head.

“More serious than headquarters, more disciplined, and more dangerous,” Gern replied without looking up.

"However, the scenery is nice, and as one of the important strongholds in the New World, there are many pirates."

"Then we can catch pirates together?" Ribo's eyes lit up.

“Sure,” Gern smiled. “But before that, you’ll have to learn not to eat carrots during a fight.”

"That's my trademark! Every famous navy officer has one!"

Libo pouted in rebuttal, then leaned on Guern's shoulder and continued to ask.

"Gern, Gern, and everyone's saying you're working with that Lieutenant General Sakazuki..."

Gern shook his head and chuckled. Just as he was about to say something, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Gion stood at the door, her expression calm, holding a document in her hand.

"Gion-neechan!" Ribo immediately jumped up and ran over. "Did you come to see us off?"

Gion's lips twitched slightly, as if she hadn't fully gotten used to the way she was addressed, but she still nodded: "I guess so."

She came in and handed the document to Guern: "This is a report on the recent situation at G-3, which Sister He asked me to pass on."

Gern took it and flipped through it casually. The contents were all about the pirate crews that needed to be dealt with when they got there.

Gion paused for a moment, glanced at Ribo beside her, and finally asked, "When are you leaving?"

“Three days later,” Gern said, closing the file, “the warships will be ready for resupply.”

Gion gave a soft "hmm" and looked out the window, seemingly deep in thought.

Libo blinked, then suddenly leaned over and grabbed Gion's hand: "Gion-neechan, do you want to come to G-3 too?"

“Me?” Gion was taken aback.

“Yes!” Ribo said with a grin, “We can catch pirates together, train together, and…”

She lowered her voice, "Sleeping together, Gion-neechan's chest is softer and more comfortable than a pillow."

Incidentally, after returning from Gion, Ribo was dragged home from the Guern house every night to sleep together.

Gion: "..."

Gern almost burst out laughing, but was quickly glared at by Gion.

"My duties are not in the New World, and the next phase of the mission is about to begin," Gion said finally, calmly.

“However…” she paused, “if you need support, you can contact me.”

Libo's eyes lit up: "Really? Then Gion-neechan must come to visit us often!"
