Trapped in the sea water, the motionless Smoker looked at the group of bold pirates in front of him with a horrified expression.
These guys...
Not only does everyone have strange abilities, but they can also stand on the sea and control the sea?!
What is this ability?
Devil Fruit Devil Fruit User?
How is that possible?
But at this moment, he... because of his carelessness, he was directly wrapped in a ball formed by sea water, unable to move at all.
And the rest of the navy... faced with this group of guys suspected of being Devil Fruit User, they had no ability to resist at all, and they were caught all of a sudden!
Even Tashigi is like this!
As the seawater invaded and his consciousness became increasingly blurred, Smoker also knew in his heart...
This time.
Action failed!
Loguetown Navy Branch The entire army was wiped out!
Although I felt very regretful and self-blame in my heart, I thought it was caused by my rash action without checking the other party's strength first.
But facing this group of vicious pirates who dared to sink the navy to the bottom of the sea, he knew in his heart... They probably had no chance of survival.
At that moment when consciousness subsides to be complete.
Smoker can only say something to his partner with regret... [Sorry! ].
Nothing more.
As soon as my eyes closed, I don't know how much time passed.
When I feel a dazzling light.
Smoker then slowly opened his eyes again, frowned slightly and looked at the wooden ceiling in front of him, and then looked around with confusion and shock.
Wooden house!
Simple wooden house!
He murmured to himself, "Is this the world of the dead? I didn't expect that it would be like this after death?"
"Colonel Smoker, are you awake?"
The words just fell.
Hearing the familiar and happy voice coming from the side, Smoker's nervous heart relaxed. He turned his head and looked at the man running in with refreshing black short hair. Female navy wearing rustic square glasses.
"Tashigi? That's right! You should be here too!" Smoker was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, looked at his deputy - Tashigi, and said, "In that case... is it possible that all the marines who died are here?"
"Sacrifice? What kind of sacrifice?" Tashigi looked at his boss - Colonel Smoker in confusion and said, "We didn't sacrifice! You slept all day and night!"
"No sacrifice? Did a passing navy save us?"
"Hey, that's not true!"
"No?" Smoker sat up, still frowning at Tashigi, "Then how did we escape from that group of vicious pirates?"
However.
Just finished speaking.
In front of him, his most trusted deputy, Tashigi, had a strange expression on his face and smiled sarcastically, "Um... actually there was a little misunderstanding between us and the other party!"
"Misunderstanding?" Smoker said with a cold expression, a sullen face, and a serious tone, "Comrade Tashigi, did you make any compromise with the pirates?"
"No! No!" Hearing Colonel Smoker's question, Tashigi quickly waved his hand and said, "Land of Grass is not a pirate, it's just an accident that happened!"
Speaking of which, even now, she still finds it a bit incredible.
At that time, she really thought she was going to die!
After all, they were a group of vicious pirates who even dared to sink the navy. How could there be any chance of survival?
However.
Just when he was caught and about to be thrown into the sea, a man suddenly appeared and stopped the group of guys after scolding them.
After that...
A lot of things happened.
Tashigi's eyes fell into memories, and he said with emotion, "When all the navy was caught..."
As Tashigi's slow voice fell, Smoker also roughly understood what was going on.
Suddenly someone appeared and stopped the group of guys, then picked them up and treated them. Most of the navy had already woken up.
But he may have been soaked in the sea water for too long, so he slept for a day and a night and only woke up now!
It seems that those guys attacked them because of a misunderstanding!
only.
What is the misunderstanding?
"Marine Branch 16..."
"Marine Branch 16..." After hearing Smoker's inquiry, Tashigi said angrily, "These navy scum are so abominable, they are simply a shame and scum of the navy!"
"Calm down!" Seeing Tashigi getting angry for no reason, Smoker rubbed his forehead with a headache on his face, "Now tell me clearly, what happened?"
As Smoker's helpless words fell.
At this time.
Tashigi also calmed down a little, but his face was still a little angry, and he said angrily, "Colonel Smoker, do you know what they did? They actually acted as a protective umbrella for a group of pirates. According to Land of Grass's investigation..."
"?!"
After hearing Tashigi's explanation, Smoker's eyes suddenly became serious, and he listened quietly to Tashigi's words.
But the more he listened, the darker his face became.
Under Tashigi's words, Marine Branch 16 joined a group of fish-man pirates who escaped from Grand Line, acting as their protective umbrella and preying on the poor villagers living on Orange Island.
Regardless of whether they are old people or children, as long as they are human beings, even newborns, they have to pay the so-called head fee, otherwise they will be killed directly!
The rule lasted for ten years, during which he also killed a retired Navy Senior Sergeant who fought bravely, leaving only two lonely orphans.
In order to protect her village, one of the adopted daughters of the retired Navy Senior Sergeant was forced to go out to sea alone to steal with her thin body when she was young!
The daughter of a good hero was directly forced to become a thief!
It really makes those who hear it cry, and it sounds sad!
Even Smoker was silent at this time.
If all the cigars on his body were not gone now, he would definitely take out one and take a good taste!
Too bad!
It's just this Land of Grass...
In order to protect his villagers, facing the terrifying pirates and the huge force that might offend the navy, he resolutely dispatched the army!
At the same time, what else...
In order not to disturb the lives of the villagers on Orange Island, they camped in the ruins, and the stolen money seized was also returned to the villagers, without taking a single needle from the villagers!
Go deep into the masses and go to the masses!
Showing a close relationship with the villagers?
What on earth is your deputy talking about?!
It's only been a day, have you already been brainwashed?
"The king of Land of Grass said they were friends of the navy! He didn't mean to attack the navy. He just misunderstood that we were also the scum of the navy like rats, and he had no choice but to do this because he was worried about being Navy Headquarters!" Tashigi still said with a serious face, "He also said... Navy Hero - Lieutenant General Garp's grandson is now working in their Land of Grass. They have no ill intentions towards the Navy!"
"Friend? A friend would sink his friend into the bottom of the sea without hesitation?" After hearing Tashigi's words, Smoker twitched the corner of his mouth and snorted coldly.
And Navy Vice Admiral's grandson still has to work?
How ridiculous!
I guess even if you go out to sea and become a pirate, you won't be able to work part-time!
"Is this how those guys treat their friends? Even if there is a scumbag in the navy, it should be dealt with by a military court, not a country in the East China Sea. They actually sank the navy directly into the sea? Is this humiliating the navy?"
However.
The words just fell.
At this time.
"Humiliation? How can you say it so harshly?"
A slightly serious voice suddenly came from the door.
"Land of Grass This is a special struggle. We will strike hard to severely punish the evil forces in accordance with the law. We will work with the Navy brothers to thoroughly investigate the corruption related to gangs and evil. We will fight against the corrupt Navy Marine Branch 16 and Arlong Pirates as the first group. The successful evil forces launched a fierce offensive and formed a high-pressure situation, uprooting the criminal group headed by Arlong Pirates that had harmed Orange Island for ten years, and destroying the protective umbrella hidden behind the criminal group!
Together with the navy brothers, we concentrated on rectifying Orange Island's public security issues and chaos in the industry. We responded to the expectations of the sea people, maintained the stability of the sea, demonstrated the authority of the navy, and protected the navy..." paused slightly, "Justice. "
