Chapter 118 / Chapter 119 ...
Then, the group chatted and laughed as they walked outside...
On deck.
"I see it! I see it! That's Loguetown! Hahaha..."
"The hometown of Pirate King, here I come..."
"Hurry, hurry, go faster! Charge straight into the Grand Line!!"
"Damn it, we've come all the way to Loguetown, we definitely have to go check it out, what are we rushing for?"
"Stop talking, come on, jump up, everyone get moving, hahahaha~~"
Hearing the cheers and shouts of the crew below, Burgess couldn't help but roar along.
"Finally, we've arrived at the last stop, hahahahaha..."
Doc Q leaned back in his chair, a sinister smile on his face, and said, "Since we're going to enter the Grand Line, why not cause a big ruckus?"
"Let's just poison everyone in Loguetown to death, hehe~~"
Gin brandished his fist, diligently Cultivation his Haki, and said coldly, "After we land on the island, I must wander around and pay homage to the hometown of the Pirate King Roger."
Luo looked at Hawkins, still as aloof as ever, and said, "Let's go to the Execution Platform together later and see where Roger died."
"Roger, the founder of the Great Pirate Era, and his hometown are definitely worth a visit."
Hawkins nodded and responded in a low voice.
Kuro habitually adjusted his glasses and said calmly and rationally, "Loguetown is too famous; there must be a lot of Pirate coming here."
"There's no shortage of promising newcomers here. If I'm not mistaken, our ship will definitely have more new members after we leave Loguetown."
Lafitte twirled his cane, smiled slightly, and said politely, "Your analysis is very insightful. I think your guess is correct."
"Throughout the Four Seas, any Pirate who wants to enter the Grand Line, if they have the opportunity, will come here to take a look around before rushing into the Grand Line."
"Therefore, there must be quite a few newcomers in this place."
(Hey everyone, the picture above is of Alvida. I won't go into any more details about her, to avoid padding the word count. Also, a new character will be joining the Loguetown. Can you guess who it is? It's a swordswoman, and... well, a man ( ̄ ̄).)
Chapter 118
Loguetown.
Inside an office at Navy Garrison Base.
There are two people here, a man and a woman, namely Captain Smoker and Tashigi Dashi.
"Colonel, there are definitely more and more Pirate in the East Blue lately."
Tashigi, wearing brown glasses, flipped through the documents. Her beautiful and refined face was filled with emotion as she said something.
"All of this is because of that bastard Chris. I really want to catch him."
"If he hadn't taken the lead, how would those law-abiding citizens have set sail, how would they have ventured onto the Grand Line?"
"After all, a bounty of 100 million Beli is truly astounding; it has never happened before in the Four Seas."
Tashigi turned to look at Smoker, blinked her beautiful eyes, and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Colonel, you said Chris hasn't even entered the Grand Line yet, so why is the bounty so high?"
"Even now, I still don't understand. Do you know why Headquarters did this, Colonel?"
Smoker, an Old Smoker, leaned back in his chair with Cigar in his mouth and said impatiently, "How many times have I told you? Stop rambling on and on every time you speak."
"You've said so much, how am I supposed to answer? Can't you use your brain? Ha!"
Tashigi is a natural airhead, very innocent and kind. She put her hands together, apologized sincerely, and said one sentence.
"I'm sorry, Colonel, I will definitely be more careful in the future."
"By the way, Colonel, could you please answer a few questions I asked earlier?"
"Why is the bounty on Chris so high? Does Headquarters have some ulterior motive for doing this?"
Tashigi's eyes were resolute, and she said with utmost seriousness, "No matter what, we must capture that Pirate Chris. We can't let him continue to be so arrogant."
"Although his bounty is high, he's definitely no Colonel for you, Colonel. Am I right, Colonel?"
Smoker exhaled a puff of smoke, glared at Tashigi, and said with great displeasure, "You woman, you're hopeless."
"How could I have such a stupid subordinate like you? Meeting you is the worst luck I've ever had."
"A moron like you can only ever be a sergeant at best. Don't even think about getting any higher. You're utterly stupid."
Smoker leaned back in his chair, feet on the desk, and took a drag of his cigarette. "How could a young man like Chris possibly be a match for me?"
"Can't you use your brain? Do I even need to say it?"
Tashigi nodded repeatedly and said respectfully, "Yes, yes, I misspoke, I'm sorry, Colonel."
Smoker ignored her and continued, "As for why there's a bounty of 100 million Beli, it's mainly because his potential is too great; he has the opportunity to become a powerful figure."
"There's another reason: the seas have become increasingly turbulent lately, and it's time to give the Four Seas a show of force."
"Raise the bounty on Chris to make him famous enough, then capture him. That way, let's see who dares to go out to sea as Pirate."
"This is called setting an example, making an example of someone to scare others. It can effectively promote the navy's prestige and make it easier to dominate this sea."
Smoker took a drag of his cigarette, glanced at Tashigi, and said impatiently, "Didn't you hear the call from Headquarters a few days ago?"
"Onigumo Vice Admiral Onigumo has already left Marineford and is on his way to the East Blue."
"This guy is incredibly strong, a veteran Vice Admiral, ruthless in his actions, and upholds his so-called justice—it's infuriating."
Tashigi's beautiful eyes lit up, and she instantly realized what she meant. A look of Satori understanding appeared on her exquisitely fair face, and she quickly said something.
"Oh right, how could I forget that?"
"Since Headquarters has sent Vice Admiral, Chris is definitely doomed this time; he won't have any chance at all."
"Judging by the time, Vice Admiral Onigumo should have arrived in the East Blue by now, right, Colonel?"
Smoker exhaled a puff of smoke and said directly, "Isn't that just stating the obvious? Don't you know how fast warships are?"
"That bastard is already in the East Blue. He might have already caught Chris."
"Alright, I don't want to talk about that bastard. Don't mention him to me, it's annoying to even hear about him."
Tashigi nodded, blinked her beautiful eyes, and smiled sweetly and innocently. "That's true. The Colonel is a Dove Faction, so he definitely doesn't like the Hawk Faction."
"After all, our ideals are completely different from theirs; they're not as brutal or serious as theirs."
"Speaking of which, Colonel, I'm quite curious about Chris."
Tashigi, holding the Famous Sword Shigure, frowned slightly and analyzed, "Judging from all the information, this Chris is definitely very strong."
Whether he possesses Devil Fruit or whether he can Haki are all unknowns.
"Thinking about it, this person is really mysterious. I'm afraid their escape methods are also quite remarkable."
"He's definitely no match for Vice Admiral Onigumo, but if he keeps running for his life, Onigumo Vice Admiral not be able to catch him."
"Is that so, Colonel?"
Smoker glared at her, his face full of anger, and began to curse viciously.
"You idiot, I told you not to mention this guy to me."
"Can't you understand human language? How many times do I have to tell you, ha!"
"Whether he catches Chris or not is none of my business. Don't you dare mention that bastard Onigumo to me again, you hear me?"
"You foolish woman!!"
Knock knock knock...
Tashigi was about to apologize when there was a clear knock on the door.
"Don't mention him to me again, you idiot."
Smoker cursed at her, took a drag of his cigarette, and said bluntly, "Come in!"
Tashigi nodded repeatedly, holding Shigure she stood to the side, her fair and jade-like face filled with apology and a very embarrassed look.
With a creak, the wooden door slowly opened, and a young man dressed in naval uniform walked in.

"Colonel, I have something to report to you."
"The messengers have reported that Cavendish, with a bounty of 92 million Beli, has appeared in town."
"Because he was so handsome, he caused a great sensation. Many years ago, girls flocked to see him."
"Colonel, what should we do now? Should we deploy the navy to capture him?"
Before Smoker could speak, Tashigi hurriedly spoke up.
Her beautiful eyes widened, her pretty face filled with shock, and she exclaimed incredulously, "Nine... ninety-two million Beli!!"
"How is it possible that there are Pirate with such high bounties in the East Blue besides Chris?"
"You must have made a mistake. There can't possibly be a bounty that high."
Immediately afterward, he turned to Smoker and quickly asked, "Colonel, am I right? We don't have a bounty this high in the East Blue, do we?"
... 0
"I remember it very clearly. The Pirate with the highest bounty in the East Blue is Arlong, the leader of the Arlong Pirates, with an Arlong of 20 million Beli."
"As for this 92 million Beli bounty criminal, he doesn't even exist, does he, Colonel?"
Smoker took a drag of his cigarette and, right in front of the young man, began to reprimand him, saying something like that.
"You idiot, can't you use your brain for once?"
"Why does Cavendish have to be from the East Blue? Can't he come from other sea areas?"
"Tashigi, use your brain, stop being so stupid."
Too lazy to pay any more attention to this woman, he stood up and sneered, "You really think that just because the bounty is over ninety million, you can run wild on my turf?"
"Just a Pirate? Watch how I capture him."
"Make the arrangements: capture every single Pirate who enters the town."
Smoker walked outside and said coldly, "As for Cavendish, I will personally capture him. Don't even think about escaping from my grasp."
The young man quickly saluted and said respectfully, "Yes, Colonel, I'll make the arrangements right away."
"Colonel, wait for me..."
Tashigi, carrying Shigure, quickly followed, a determined look on her pretty face. "No matter what, we must catch this great Pirate."
"We must capture all the Pirate, one by one, and bring them to justice. We must not tolerate them."
Then, the three of them left the room and began to gather the Navy, preparing for a massive purge of all the Pirate in the town...
(Oh no, the author is stuck on this Cavendish and doesn't know how to continue. I'm so frustrated. Since starting the book, I've been updating at least 10,000 words a day, and the writing has been going smoothly. But today I suddenly don't know what to write anymore. Sorry everyone, there will be fewer updates today o(╥╥)o.)
Also, the image above is of Tashigi, so I won't go into too much detail. Please allow me to catch my breath; I apologize to everyone! (Ten.)
Chapter 119
And that's it, I've updated the building pictures and related works. That's how it is today. I don't know how to write it, it's a bit messy, there were too many people in the town of Grove, I really can't write anymore today, bosses... o)╥╥(o I apologize! I'm sorry, bosses, I'll continue updating tomorrow, sorry everyone. Next new one
Chapter 120
(Some readers have suggested creating a group. If you'd like to join, please type "1" in the book review section. If 20 people type "1", the author will create a group for everyone to discuss the plot. The decision is yours, and I'll be keeping an eye on the book review section.)
In a small Square in Loguetown.
At this moment, in the center of the Square, there was a man and many young women.
