Pirates: The Salary Is In Place, The Four Emperors Are Kicked Out

As a pirate, Kaido definitely does not have the so-called sense of honor like swordsmen and samurai. In order to win the battle, he can use the so-called "despicable" moves without any psychological burden.

However, that doesn't mean that Kaido will easily let go of someone who meddles in his own battles without permission. He hates this guy who interferes with his enjoyment.

so--

"King Kong Dysprosium!

! "

The mace "Ba Zhai Jie", one of the twelve masters of the Supreme Sword, was swung brazenly by Kaido, and the column-shaped "stick gas" burst out, breaking the sound barrier, with an unparalleled attitude, with a devastating effect. The power instantly enveloped Kurozumi Kanjuro and the Momonosuke and Kinemon that he had just assassinated!

boom!

!

The world was also shocked by the huge sound as if the world had opened up.

Starting from Kaido, a deep ravine was directly plowed out of the gravel ground in this wasteland.

Maybe from today, Wanokuni will have another nameless Great Rift Valley?

"Let's go, let's go!"

Carrying "Eight Fasts" on his shoulders, Kaido turned gloomy and left without hesitation, and immediately followed up respectfully - neither of them had any intention of checking the situation of Momanosuke and others.

After all, it is the real world, not a manga story. There are not no people who can survive Kaido's attack, but it will definitely not be these three.

...

If it is said that in the Marine red, yellow and blue trio, Polsalino, who is currently "yellow", is "like a duck to water" in the drum kingdom, and Sakazuki, who represents "red", is in New World's work situation is "the mud cow enters the sea" "——Then, as a "blue" Kuzan, his work rhythm in The fish men island is "loose and unhurried".

That's right, Kuzan didn't "take three fires as a new officer" as many expected, or continued the thunderous style when he and Polsalino came to The fish men island at the beginning, but with a kind of With a very "steady" attitude, he handled Marine's affairs in The fish men island little by little.

Of course, this does not mean that Kuzan is not capable enough, nor does it mean that he suddenly wants to imitate Polusalino's fishing spirit in the headquarters, but it means that Kuzan has become a qualified Marine general, and he fully understands it. The Five Elders and Marine executives support the deeper meaning of the Frozen Throne project.

"Building an ultimate line of defense to completely seal off the flow of pirates in Paradise and New World" is indeed the strategic goal written in Marine's "Frozen Throne" plan - but smart people know that such an idea can only It is suitable to stay at the target slogan or the fantasy level of the extremists, but once it is actually implemented, the result is bound to be disastrous.

On the one hand, there is no doubt that the pirates who are directly hit will become more united than ever because of Marine's move. Even if there is no unified leader, they will be like crazy piranhas who smell blood, and they will pile up Marine's defense line on The fish men island by piling up lives. No matter how strong Marine is, it is impossible to stop it. The impact of the entire pirate group.

On the other hand, it is almost predictable that the seemingly protected The fish men island will actually be plunged into unprecedented turmoil because of Marine's move. Every year, tens of thousands of pirates use The fish men island to travel back and forth in the first and second half of the Grand Line. Although it does bring great trouble to the mermen, they also generate high consumption in the process. , boosting the economy here - if there are no pirates who spend as much money as they earn, a considerable number of the aborigines of The fish men island will lose their economic sources and become potential rioters who endanger the safety of The fish men island.

It is for these two reasons that the wily Five Elders would agree to Polsalino's proposal and choose the lazy Kuzan, not the more savage Sakazuki, to serve as The fish men islandG-0 Marine The head of the branch.

And it turns out that Kuzan, who often acts with Polusalino, the "smooth monkey", is not very old, but he is really good at things and manages The fish men island quite well:

He first continued Marine's initial practice when he landed on The fish men island, and dealt a firm blow to the slave traders, solved the most fundamental pain point of The fish men island, and established a righteous image of Marine to the whole world. standing in an invincible position;

Then, on this basis, he did not completely cut off the route from The fish men island to New World, and took a seemingly lazy but in fact strict control approach to the pirates, rather than being reckless and one-size-fits-all. This not only ensures the minimum demands of the pirates, and minimizes their destructiveness and willingness to fight back, but also safeguards the economic interests of the residents of The fish men island and controls the overall situation.

The data will never lie - after Kuzan settled in The fish men island, knowing that there are a large number of elite Marines stationed in The fish men island, the pirates who were willing to venture to The fish men island during this period did not. There was no significant reduction, but the crime rate caused by them fell by nearly 95%.

Just as the future "Golden Emperor" Tezzolo in the original plot set up his huge island-like entertainment ship as a "world neutral zone", Marine led by Kuzan maintained a relationship with the pirates here. A kind of "relative peace" - as long as there is no trouble, the formalities are performed properly, and the fees are paid, then The fish men island is just an ordinary port city, only the bustling place, if you want to drink, go sightseeing, or borrow any way question;

But if anyone wants to make trouble and wants to prove his blood and ability, then Kuzan will show his strength and thunderous means as the Marine monster Vice Admiral, as the symbol of the tower in front of the gate of the Dragon Palace. A new corpse decoration has been added to the Ice Tower of Justice.

Of course, since they will choose to go to sea and sail to the location of The fish men island, these pirates will definitely not be completely obedient-many times after they enter the country, they will urinate a few pounds of horses. Completely forget about fear, not knowing who I am.

Therefore, in order to get rid of the remaining 5% of the dregs, Kuzan did not sit in the base for a long time like other Marine Base managers, but rented a "big fish bus angler fish type" every day at The fish men island Hanging out - both fishing law enforcement, but also to pass the time, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

so--

"Stop him! Robbery!"

In the most prosperous "Red Coral" commercial street on The Fish Men Island, a blue-haired mermaid girl wearing a bubble coating on her waist screamed nervously.

A burly human, grabbed the shell bag she was carrying, and ran into the distance.

Like the Sabaody Islands, mermaids and some large marine creatures wear bubble rings around their waists to facilitate movement when they travel in the dry areas of The fish men island.

"Get out of the way for Laozi!"

After bumping into the crowd who were still lost in the lake, the panicked robber jumped on a big fish bus parked on the side of the road. The fish men island is too prosperous and suitable for consumption. A standard pirate is very generous, so in just two days, he didn't even have money left for food. As a last resort, I can only choose to go back to my old business.

"Hey! Drive quickly if you don't want to die! Drive in the direction of the port!"

The red-eyed robber took out the Short Sword he was carrying with him, and placed it on the neck of the driver of the Big Fish bus threateningly.

Due to the emergency, he didn't have time to look at any passengers in the car, but anxiously stuck his head out the window and watched the Marine patrol coming from afar.

"You don't fucking understand words or you don't want to live! Drive!

"

Seeing that the bus driver had no intention of driving, the robber roared and pressed the knife directly to the former's skin. With such a zero distance, he could slit the other's throat with just a little force—but even so, The driver was still unmoved, and even the expression on his face was as if he was looking at an idiot, speechless and contemptuous.

"..."

The robber seemed to realize something through the driver's expression, and slowly turned his head to look in the direction of the passenger.

In the huge passenger area, there was only one passenger sitting there alone, carrying a cup of The fish men island specialty drink in his hand, with a harmless appearance of "I'm just a passing tourist passenger".

However, any pirates who land on The fish men island will not equate this person with "harmless to humans and animals", because this is the Marine monster guarding The fish men island, G-0 branch base director Kuzan Vice Admiral !

"Yo!"

Kuzan, who had his legs crossed, waved his hand as a greeting, but soon scratched his head in distress, "Well... Before I get rid of you, what cool lines should I say?"

"...speed is weight? Have you ever been kicked by light...ice?"

...

Two minutes later, looking at the Marine patrol team that transported the new pirate ice away, Kuzan nodded with satisfaction, and the crowd on The fish men island also burst out in admiration in time:

"So handsome, Kuzan Vice Admiral and Marine!"

"Did you see it! Did you see it! That guy really turned into an icy wither in an instant!"

"I'm going to have my son sign up for Marine tomorrow to become Kuzan Vice Admiral's subordinate!"

...

Turning everyone's praise into an upward arc at the corners of his mouth, Kuzan continued on to the next block with a brisk but steady pace.

In fact, when he first knew that he was going to become the director of The fish men island Marine Base, Kuzan was still a little worried. The pressure of the monsters of the world.

But his "stable and reliable predecessor Polusalino" (self-proclaimed), in a few words, sorted out the truth for him:

"The Frozen Throne, the Burning Crusade, the Seven Warlords of the Sea... Do you think we really want to completely eliminate the pirates? Putting aside the question of whether we can completely eliminate the pirates, if all the pirates are eliminated, Where should we Marine go? Where should the World government go?"

"So, only when the group of pirates has always existed, will the problems within the World government be covered up!"

"Though these successive big plans do have practical value, they are more about creating a sense of atmosphere! Bring a sense of crisis to the New World monsters that we Marine and the World government will kill them at all costs!"

"Driven by this sense of crisis, even Whitebeard's indomitable character will be forced to expand his power and increase manpower, not to mention the warlike lunatics like the beasts and BIGMOM..."

"But New World is only part of the Grand Line after all, with limited resources and area. Although there are still many new star pirates entering every year, there are more wolves than meat, and the competition for talent and territory alone is enough to make them break each other's heads... "

"Use warm water to relax the frog's vigilance, then slowly increase the fire until it boils into a pot of soup... Got it? We have to rely on a steady stream of logistical supplies, in an open-minded way, in a relaxed manner Don't be slow, drag these monsters into each other's enemies, drag them into a weak posture, and let them become objects that we can handle!"

"Of course, in this process, we Marine should still grow stronger, should we fight for the right to speak, or should we fight for the right to speak..."

"It's easy to be a pure marine, but it's not that easy to be a senior marine general, Kuzan... This is the work attitude you should have when you arrive at The fish men island, come on..."

...

Since Long returned to the Revolutionary Army and started operations, Luo Ben, who was accepted as a disciple by him, and his three new younger brothers, namely the white bear Bebo and the other two wanderers Pekin and Xia Qi who bullied Bebo at the time, Live together on Pleasure Island as a small group. They train together, play together, and occasionally help Long perform some safe intelligence search missions as reservists of the Revolutionary Army...

It was during this period that the small group got acquainted with old Simon, an intelligence businessman on Happy Island. At first, they were just a normal intelligence transaction, but after a transaction was completed, the old man Simon suddenly fell ill with filial piety. Luo, who was half a doctor, took the shot in time, or he might have lost his life.

Since then, the small group has become acquainted with old Simon, who even took the initiative to lend Luo some medical books that he collected when he was young...

Sea Circle Calendar On the afternoon of July 3, 1503, Luo and the others did not train in the forest as usual, but returned to Happy Town in advance - Long called at noon and told them that they would come to pick them up and leave Happy Island in three days. , so the small group plans to help old man Simon stock up on some medicine before leaving.

"Brother Luo, the medicine is ready!"

Luo's younger brother No. 1 Xia Qi raised the bag of medicine in his hand.

"Have you got it? Let's go then."

Luo Gao nodded coldly.

Bebo, who was on the side, looked at the three companions, and said:

"It feels so quiet. There are no people on the street. It's really different from my hometown."

"Ah, probably hiding at home? After all, it's quite cold today."

Luo's younger brother No. 2 Pekin explained this.

"Pekin, you are in such a good mood."

"Of course, Shaqi. Mr. L will come to pick us up in a few days, and we won't know what wonderful place we're going to by then!"

Due to the sensitive identity of the dragon, Luo and the others usually use Mr. L as the name for the former.

"Well, no matter where we go, as long as we follow Big Brother Luo, the road in the future will continue to expand!"

Luo was a little embarrassed by the praise of the three of his own Pekins, but he was inexplicably moved: "I said you guys... Hey! What are you doing!"

boom!

Luo and others were stunned by the sight in front of them-accompanied by a gunshot, the town patrolman Ladd rushed out of the alley next to his injured arm, and behind him, a man with a pistol Walking out slowly, he casually blew the gun smoke from the muzzle.

This man wears an oval pirate hat, has black hair that reaches his shoulders, and looks weak, but his eyes are full of madness.

Following this man, one was dressed like a sumo wrestler, and a guy over two meters tall also came out of the alley. He had two maces in his hands, a Kabuto loincloth tied to his brown skin, and his hair tied into a bun. With thick muscles stored under the fat in his body, it is obvious that he must have considerable brute strength.

"Ten years ago, it was because of your father's incompetence that I was able to turn Happy Town into a sea of ​​fire; and ten years later, because of your son's incompetence, I may be able to directly destroy this town, babble!"

The words of the man wearing the pirate hat made the patrolman Radwood who was fleeing stop stopped. He turned around and stared at the pirate with eyes that seemed to be murderous:

"Arthur, whatever the purpose of your return this time, your father will stop you again!"

"Bah! My damn old stinky daddy?"

The pirate named Arthur shrugged and smiled contemptuously, "I am very different from ten years ago! I will kill him with my own hands, and then take the Lily that can bring eternal life to people. Carnations!

"

(Lily carnations that bring eternal life?)

Luo, who was listening on the side, couldn't help but swallow his saliva - he learned from Colonel Malvern the secret that Op-Op Fruit can give people immortality, and now he actually heard about the magical plant that can give people immortality...

"Lily Carnation?"

Patrolman Ladd paused for a moment and replied firmly, "There is no such thing on Happy Island!"

"Quack! Rad! It's not good to lie! You didn't look me in the eye just now!

"

As soon as he finished speaking, Arthur approached Rad at once, grabbed his collar and lifted him off the ground.

"I... used to think it was just a fairy tale, so that's normal, right? After all, how could a fool believe that such a small island is hiding something so outrageous? But ah! On the 'Grand Line' On the island near the entrance, we found it! A letter left by the former great pirate carnival baron!

"

Arthur, whose face was full of excitement and greed, continued:

"The letter that belonged to the former great pirate carnival baron said... 'I will die soon. Although my dream has not been realized, I have also encountered many shocking miracles during my voyage. Before I died, I leave this last word - Lily carnations, which can give people eternal life, grow on the happy island in North Blue. I came at the wrong time, I can only take the immature young plants, but I still get a lot of power from it. If anyone is lucky enough to find this letter, please be sure to find it, it is the flower of the gods that can give people eternal life'..."

"Of course, my companions and I also suspected that the letter was fake at first. However, after investigating the handwriting and the date of writing, we found that the letter was absolutely true, written by the legendary pirate carnival baron! So We just got here! This happy island in the North Blue! To get the 'Flower of the Gods'!"

Arthur shouted, clenching the collar of Patrol Rad in his hand, and a painful expression appeared on Rad's face.

(Unfortunately, Mr. Long hasn't arrived here yet, so he can only get on... You can't let these guys do whatever they want!)

Just when Luo made up his mind—

"That's it!

! "

Dao Luo's loud and familiar voice shocked the audience.

Arthur let go of his hand unconsciously, and Ladd immediately knelt on the ground and coughed hard.

In the adventure novels Luo has read, the people who appear in this way at this time are usually the protagonists or key characters who can turn the situation around - but unlike those in the fantasy works, this sudden voice The master, Luo, they all know each other. Rather than making the current situation better, this person made it more complicated, or worse.

(Old Simon?! What did he think?!)

(Ah, as Mr. Long said, this old man was able to become an intelligence businessman entirely because of his past connections. He has neither strength nor personality at all! If he comes out like this, he will definitely be killed!)

However, contrary to what Luo expected, Pirate Arthur did not move.

Not only that, but he no longer had the cruel expression he had just now, but showed an inexplicable smile.

"...Long time no see, stinky father!"

"I don't want to see you, Arthur!"

Luo and the others did not understand the conversation between the two for a while, and only reacted after being stunned for several seconds-the old man Simon, the intelligence businessman they were familiar with, was actually the father of this pirate Arthur!

"Bah! I don't want to see you either, stinky old man... I wish you were dead!"

"Hmph, that's what I'm going to say! I thought you were dead on some sea long ago!"

Old man Simon retorted rudely.

"Hey, I just saw the son I haven't seen for a long time, do you say that?! What a ruthless father!

"

"...I should have told you ten years ago that the old man and you have severed the relationship between father and son!"

When he said this, old Simon's eyes were so cold that his hair stood on end.

"...You stinky old man, you really haven't changed at all! You're always like this, no matter what I want to do, you always come over to spoil me..."

"As a guardian, of course I want to get my son who has gone down the wrong path back on the right path!"

"A crooked way? Me? Bah! I never felt that I was following a crooked way! I was just frankly facing my desires and life. From this point of view, it would be better to say that I was taught to be upright. That's it!"

"I'm not going to discuss this with you here! You attack towns and villages, snatch food and money, and finally kill everyone. The old man just can't stand your behavior!"

"Huh? That's amazing! Smelly dad! When I was still in my pirate group! Didn't you stop me too!"

"...That's right, the old man is an incompetent father! Although he tried hard to persuade you and taught you a lesson with his fists, he was unable to correct your stupid son's thoughts in the end!"

Luo almost shouted while eating melons.

(What is the meaning of this conversation just now?)

(Simon, the old man... Was he once with that pirate named Arthur?)

Luo glanced aside, Pekin, Shaqi, and Bepo could not hide their shock after listening to their conversation.

"yes!

I will not suppress my desires!

! So, Dad, do you understand what to do now? Since you've been living on this island, you must have clues about Lily Carnations! hand it over! In this way, for the sake of my past partners, I will show mercy and not kill all of you... quack! Isn't it very kind! "

"Hmph, that kind of thing doesn't exist in the first place. Besides, even if the old man knows where it is, he will never tell you!

"

"Hey, are you provoking me?! Smelly old man!

"

"I don't think you will abide by the agreement, not to mention that you have set fire to the town! I will not give you the slightest bit of information!!"

"What, do you still hate that kind of trivial thing?"

"...Ten years ago, you were going to challenge the Grand Line, for which you needed a lot of food, water, and money—you returned to this town in order to gather these necessities...the hometown where you gave birth and raised you, from the inhabitants Robbed the property and destroyed the town! The old man couldn't agree with what you did, so he quit your group and started to live alone... But! The sin of the old man has not disappeared! Back then, the old man failed to stop your son from doing evil... So now! It's my duty to stop you!!"

Simon's sonorous voice echoed around - his words were completely different from when he taught Luo and the others rashly revealing their bottom line, and contained real anger and determination.

"Dad, it looks like you're trying to get in my way..."

"Yes! How can the old man let you destroy this town again?!"

"Bah ah!

Then you are my enemy! I don't care if you are a former friend or my biological father. Anyone who dares to stand in my way, no matter who I am, I will smash him to pieces!

I must get Lily Carnations!

! "

Arthur took the two maces in the hands of the sumo wrestler behind him and held them high.

In response, Simon also pulled a gun from his arms.

"Bepo! Pekin! Shakey! Let's go help old Simon!!"

"Oh!

"

Luo and the others didn't care too much and rushed towards Arthur.

...

Although the powerful Luo and his younger brothers worked together to overthrow the sumo wrestler under the pirate Arthur, the old man Simon lost to Arthur, was hit in the head by the opponent's mace, and fell into a coma . In desperation, Luo and the others had to bring old Simon with him, and then retreated while fighting.

Pirate Arthur naturally wouldn't let Luo and the others go easily. He attacked with the bluish-white light beams fired from his eyes created by Devil Fruit's ability, while sending out the townspeople whose minds he controlled. siege.

Luo and the others struggled to avoid Arthur's attack, and at the same time they finally understood why the streets in the town became extremely quiet - the owner of the fish, the waitress in the restaurant, the little brother in the tattoo parlor... those who have fought The townspeople who are dealing with each other are like walking corpses at the moment, only empty eyes are left.

"Damn it, what kind of ability does this guy have! It's a beam and it controls people..."

"Hey! Shaqi, Pekin, Bepo! We can't hurt everyone, we just withdraw!"

...

The sea area of ​​Pirate World is really too large, and the speed of ships is extremely limited, so whether it is a sea powerhouse like Xiong or a top force like World Government, they are trying to use various methods to improve work efficiency. To shorten the time from one sea area to another - the bear chose to develop the ability of its Paramecia "meat ball fruit", while the World government chose to control the ocean currents generously.

The huge gate of justice stands quietly in the sea, like a mountain. The door slowly opened, revealing a small gap, which was almost indiscernible from a distance, but once you approached, you will find that even such a small gap can completely make Bell-mère and the others feel. This rather huge warship sailed smoothly.

After passing through the gate of justice, even if it is officially riding the current that communicates with the three major institutions of the government. The speed of the warship suddenly accelerated, as if it were flying, and Bell-mère even felt the wind blowing.

"This is the door of justice, isn't it spectacular?"

Fina Rear Admiral, who was in charge of escorting Bell-mère and other veterans from East Blue to Marineford, stood on the deck of the bow of the warship and introduced proudly, "You know, this door can't be opened casually. .We were able to pass through here, thanks to Polusalino... Vice Admiral's proposal, he thought it necessary to make you feel that our Marines value your veteran chapter, and hope you see this magnificent After the sight of this, you can rekindle your passion for upholding justice!”

"—That's it."

Bell-mère, like the others, nodded knowingly.

(This Porusalino Vice Admiral is said to be the head of the Veterans Chapter, and he seems to be a good officer...)

Just as Bell-mère was thinking so, Fina Rear Admiral continued:

"Although you are both veterans from East Blue, you must accept the summoning order, and the reasons for returning to the battlefield are also different... Now, after passing through this door of justice like a miracle, do any of you think I would like to share with you my own mental journey, that is, why did you choose to return to the Marine queue?"

Hearing Fina Rear Admiral say this, the veterans on the deck looked at me and I looked at you, but no one was willing to take the initiative to speak.

Fina Rear Admiral frowned slightly when she saw this. The Veterans Chapter was the most core part of the Great Expedition Fleet, and Staff Crane once reminded her that she didn't need to worry too much about the combat effectiveness of these people, and only needed a little recovery and training. Very impressive.

The main reason is that their ideological issues need to be paid attention to. After all, they are all retired and then returned to service, which is definitely different from the mentality of ordinary sailors...
