153rd Branch

Marines 153rd Branch

Rodney arrived here, handed the Fire Cannon Pirates over to the Marines, and exchanged Clive Chaser and Bamboo Pole Man's heads for bounties.

After collecting the bounty, he found a restaurant to eat at. Eating the food made by those pirates these past few days was truly unbearable. Their cooking was only barely edible; the taste was not something one could ask too much of.

"Sir, your food. Please, enjoy."

A large plate of meat was brought up, and it smelled good. Just as he was about to use his fork, noisy barking came from outside. Immediately after, a large dog rushed into the restaurant, heading straight for him.

How could Rodney let this guy succeed?

He kicked out, sending the dog flying, and the entire restaurant instantly quieted down.

The dog was quite large. It crashed into the wall, whimpered as it stood up, barked at Rodney twice, and then looked at him with fear in its eyes. The restaurant owner immediately said, "Young man, you should run! That dog belongs to Captain Morgan's son. If you hit his dog, he won't let you off!"

"Captain Morgan?" Rodney seemed to recall the name.

Marine Lieutenant Morgan was originally a Marine, but he was promoted to Marine Branch Captain after capturing Kuro the Hundred Plans. Kuro the Hundred Plans only faked his death, and this Morgan was hypnotized by Jango the hypnotist, and mistakenly thought he had captured Kuro the Hundred Plans. Because of being hypnotized, his temperament changed drastically, from a passionate Marine to an arrogant and cruel guy, ruling this Shells Town and the Marines 153rd Branch.

Sure enough, as soon as the owner finished speaking, a yellow-haired guy with a middle part and a double chin ran in, followed by two Marines with very unsightly expressions. If they could, they would have liked to beat this kid up, but this was Captain Morgan's child. If they hit him, they could forget about getting anywhere.

Rodney looked at the kid, who was wearing gaudy clothes. It was obvious he wasn't a good person. He heard him say, "Who? Who dared to hit my beloved dog?"

The dog that Rodney had kicked earlier barked at him, and the guy named Helmeppo immediately cursed at him angrily, "So, it's you, kid! Now I suspect you're a pirate. Someone, take him away!"

"Yes!"

Two Marines walked over with bitter faces and said in a low voice, "Sorry."

Bang, bang!

The two were knocked unconscious by Rodney's hand chop. Rodney grinned, grabbed a piece of meat from the plate, ate it directly with his hand, and walked towards Helmeppo, saying, "So, you're the kid who wants to catch me?"

Helmeppo was so scared that he retreated repeatedly, falling on his butt on the ground, and brought out his own father, "I, I, I, my dad is the strongest man here, Captain Morgan! Dare to hurt me and see what happens!"

Rodney ate the meat in his hand and said, "Oh, I'm so scared."

He went up and slapped him, and half of Helmeppo's face was swollen high. He covered his face, cried, and ran away.

The restaurant owner saw this and said, "Sir, you should run! Captain Morgan is not easy to deal with. You hit his son; he will definitely come to make trouble for you."

Rodney looked small and weak. He definitely wasn't a match for the burly Captain Morgan. It was better to run first.

They felt very relieved that Rodney dared to beat Helmeppo. They had wanted to beat this arrogant brat for a long time. If they weren't afraid of this kid's dad, they would have attacked long ago.

Rodney's slap was really satisfying.

"It's okay." Rodney sat back down and continued eating, the food was not bad, especially after that slap, it was even better.

The restaurant owner was a little worried. He was afraid that a fight would break out and his restaurant would be damaged. In Wuxia novels, places where conflicts break out are usually inns, and the unlucky ones are the innkeepers, losing a lot. After these people fight, they run away, leaving a mess behind. It's a small business, really not enough to compensate.

If a battle happened, it would really be a big loss for the owner. Wanting Captain Morgan to pay? It was almost impossible, unless the sun rose in the west.

Seeing that Rodney wouldn't listen to advice, the restaurant owner was a little anxious. A burst of footsteps came, and Helmeppo brought people over not long after. It was really his dad, Captain Morgan. He had just entered the town from the Marines and encountered his beaten son, so how could he endure this anger? He immediately brought people over.

Because Kuro the Hundred Plans had shattered his chin, he replaced it with an iron chin with the Marines logo. His right hand was also replaced with a sharp axe. He was tall and burly, and the way he looked at people was contemptuous.

Worthy of being Axe King Morgan, an existence that knocked down the Marine hero Garp with one axe. Seeing him now, he was indeed worthy of the name.

"You're the one who hit my son?"

Rodney finished a plate of meat, picked his teeth with a toothpick from the table, and asked, "Yeah, do you have a problem with that?"

"Well, there's really no problem. It's just that you need to pay the price." He raised his right hand, and the sharp axe was about to chop down, but his body froze.

"Your... your eyes..." His body trembled uncontrollably, but he felt like he had forgotten something.

But he didn't remember what it was. In those scarlet pupils, three black tomoe slowly rotated, and false memories shattered, replaced by that bloody night.

The tall body swayed and fell down.

"Boss, this is the money for the meal." He threw a Belly on the table, bit the toothpick, and left. None of the Marines blocking the restaurant dared to stop him.

He used Sharingan to undo the hypnosis of Jango the hypnotist, letting Captain Morgan recall the truth of that night. How much it would change him depended on himself, but at least he wouldn't be as arrogant and conceited as he was just now.

The restaurant suddenly became quiet, and the guests all held their breath, afraid that something would happen to Captain Morgan.

Helmeppo: "Dad, Dad, wake up! Dad, don't scare me!"

A Marine checked him and found that Captain Morgan was breathing smoothly and had no injuries, so he said, "Young Master Helmeppo, don't worry, Captain Morgan just fainted, it's nothing serious, you don't need to worry too much."

"Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you carry my dad back?"

"Yes."

The Marine cursed secretly in his heart, and reluctantly carried Captain Morgan back with a few others.

"Mission: Escort the merchant ship to Kokoro Village.

Mission Level: D

Mission Reward: 20 mission points."

The mission started in an orderly manner. Escort missions were not too difficult, and could even be said to be leisurely, so leisurely that he could only constantly train on the ship to improve his physical strength.

In the world of pirates, simply honing the physical body can reach the very pinnacle of this world.

Take Garp, for example. When he was young, he faced the heinous Rocks Pirates alongside Roger and his crew.

You have to know that within the Rocks Pirates, besides Rocks himself, there were also Golden Lion, Whitebeard, a young Big Mom, Kaido, and a group of other powerful pirates. Yet, they were still able to crush this legendary pirate crew.

No one on Roger's ship had eaten a Devil Fruit, and Garp didn't need such a thing either. This shows that honing the physical body can also stand among the strongest in this world.

The Eight Gates must be learned as soon as possible to elevate the physical body to a high level. This way, he can open up to the seventh gate, which is the peak. Opening the eighth gate is only when he's prepared to die together with the opponent. Otherwise, is he stupid? However, he feels that he will not have this opportunity in his life, because he does not want to die yet.

Training in Rokushiki is also within the plan, but it needs to be done step by step. His body really needs a period of strengthening before he can do it.

Fortunately, there's the Sharingan, otherwise, it would be really hard to grasp the key points.

Garp's movements have already been recorded by it. All that's left is that his physique is too weak. This is his weakness, or rather, the weakness of most ninjas: high attack, low health. Not everyone is a Senju, Uzumaki, nor a gay who has cultivated Lightning Release Armor.

So, he still needs to strengthen his training, and also have enough nutritional supply.

All of this will take time to complete.

Carry out missions while training; that's the current stage.
