Going Merry, Reindeer & Raccoon Dog (4th Update)

He planned to appoint a newly promoted Rear Admiral and several outstanding field officers.

This is an explanation to the Alabasta Imperial Family.

At the same time, the team's composition will not provoke a strong backlash from the Shichibukai.

Sengoku had clearly put a lot of thought into sitting in the position of Fleet Admiral.

"Colonel Steve Rogers."

When his name was called, a handsome and muscular young man stepped forward.

He gave a military salute and shouted in a powerful voice, "Present!"

The Fleet Admiral Sengoku was a little stunned by the loud voice.

The navy has never done this...

"You're very good!"

Coming to his senses, Sengoku gave Steve Rogers an approving look.

He really liked this energetic and sharp-eyed young officer.

Steve smiled slightly but didn't say anything more.

In terms of age, he is probably the other party's elder.

After becoming Nine-Star God Eater, he maintained the appearance of someone in their early twenties and gradually got used to this ageless state.

"Logan Howlett."

The Fleet Admiral Sengoku called out another name.

Logan, with his slouching ears and a cigar in his mouth, responded with a soft "hmm."

Seeing his posture, Sengoku couldn't help but think of Smoker, the Smoke-Smoke Devil Fruit User who had been exiled to the East Blue branch.

Both possess exceptional abilities and are equally unruly.

"Perhaps all talented people are like this..."

Sengoku shook his head and continued calling out names.

His gaze fell on a beautiful, fair-skinned girl. "Colonel Natasha."

Although this girl's combat skills were not as outstanding as the previous two, she excelled in all aspects, possessing excellent talents in reconnaissance, espionage, combat, shooting, and strategy.

"Arrive."

The Reincarnator Natasha Romanoff, responded immediately.

Her Novice Mission was to gain a high enough position within the Navy.

Therefore, she will strive to seize every opportunity and demonstrate her value.

"Very good."

With the unruly Wolverine Logan as a contrast, and looking at the graceful and dashing Natasha, Sengoku felt a sense of relief.

He was completely unaware that the officers he had pointed out were all actually older than him.

"Rear Admiral Nami, you will be in full command of the Alabasta operation!"

Sengoku stared intently at the orange-haired girl. "Don't disappoint me!"

Nami raised her eyebrows slightly and said decisively, "Wait for my good news."

Achieving continuous victories can build a person's self-confidence.

Successfully capturing the Straw Hat Pirates would be the first glorious victory.

The aura of a strong person gradually grew in Nami.

"Baroque Works... My money isn't so easy to steal."

She was still resentful that the other party had raised the price at the last minute.

Nami narrowed her beautiful eyes, and a wicked smile appeared on her rosy lips.

The System Father is broad-minded and doesn't bother with those scumbags, but she is a petty and calculating girl.

This is a habit I developed from wandering alone in the East Blue since I was a child.

Children without connections, if they suffer a loss, will definitely seek revenge themselves.

The Straw Hat Pirates fled to the Baratie.

Thanks to Sanji's connections, they managed to get a free meal at Red-Footed Zeff's place before heading straight to Syrup Village.

There was no other way; the ship that Naruto had funded to build had been destroyed and could no longer sail.

In Syrup Village, Usopp, the gigolo, used his silver tongue to persuade his childhood friend Kaya.

Kaya originally wanted to express her gratitude after Luffy and his crew helped drive away the schemer Rocker and defeat the Black Cat Pirates.

Unfortunately, the Straw Hat Pirates already had a ship at that time, so there was no need for her to add anything unnecessary.

Now is a good opportunity to provide timely assistance.

Kaya arranged for her butler Merry, who wore a sheep's head mask, to build a small boat for the Straw Hat Pirates.

Its name is...

Going Merry!

This is a "Caravelle" with a skeletal frame and triangular sails, all steered from the center of the stern.

The bow of the ship is shaped like a sheep's head, which is quite cute.

"Should we go back to the Kingdom of Goa? I miss Sister Makino a little."

Naruto suggested.

"No!"

Luffy decisively rejected his suggestion. "I will not return to Foosha Village until I have crossed the Grand Line!"

His eyes were firm, and his tone was unwavering. "I am the man who will become the One Piece!"

Seeing him like this, Naruto couldn't help but think of his past self.

It hasn't been that long, but it feels like it happened many years ago.

He originally wanted to borrow the "become a king or become the man of the king" joke from his mentor Wang Yan, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he couldn't bring himself to say them.

Human dreams!

It will never disappear!

With a surge of adrenaline coursing through his veins, Naruto blurted out without much thought, "I will help you become the One Piece! This is my promise, Naruto Uzumaki!"

Luffy into laughter.

Zoro, who had been wearing a cold expression since being released from the Jail, now had a completely softened look.

He stroked his most cherished "Wado Ichimonji), his eyes glancing at Sanji out of the corner of his eye.

"That lecherous Curly Eyebrows turned out to be surprisingly reliable at a crucial moment..."

Adversity reveals true character.

Under the tight-knit plan of that female naval captain, no one acted as a coward and no one abandoned their comrades in the face of desperate danger.

Luffy, Naruto, Usopp, Sanji.

These companions, he...

Approved.

"Hey! Zoro, get on the ship!"

From the new ship came Luffy's voice calling out.

Zoro suppressed a slight upturn at the corners of his lips and roared menacingly, "I know, you annoying guy!"

Everyone gathered on the Going Merry, placed their feet on oak barrels, and took an oath to set sail.

"Conquer the Grand Line!"

Grand Line, Drum Island.

The Drum Kingdom.

This place is in winter all year round, with heavy snow falling continuously. The mountains and ridges are covered in white snow, creating a scene of northern beauty.

A blue-nosed reindeer that can talk and stand upright is wearing a stethoscope and seems to be playing the role of a doctor.

Tony Tony Chopper.

He wore a small red hat on his head, and his antlers wiggled as he spoke. Although he was trying to look serious with a straight face, he appeared extremely cute.

Chopper's voice was heavy. "I've done my best. What are your last words?"

Upon hearing this, the haggard-looking patient on the hospital bed took a deep breath.

He gasped, "Could we try another doctor? I feel like I can still be saved."

Chopper instantly welled up with tears.

He spoke with a tearful voice, like a human child. "I'm sorry!"

"If Dr. Kureha and Dr. Hiriluk were still here, they could definitely heal you!"

"I... my medical skills are terrible!"

An unfamiliar female voice suddenly rang out in the room. "This person just has a common viral cold that has caused organ failure, right? Give him an injection of broad-spectrum Antibiotics and two bottles of IV fluids, and he'll be fine."

"Wow!"

Chopper let out a cry of surprise and quickly hid.

Tsunade lit up when she saw Chopper, who was simply hiding his hat and performing a "reverse dodge".

"What an adorable raccoon!"
