Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

The next day, the two teams came to the port city of Rapeseed Flowers almost at the same time.

One, from Albana.

Headed by Rowan, there is also Crocodile, plus Wei Wei who insists on coming out to play, and Bell, the deputy captain of the Kingdom Guard Army who accompanied him.

The other one is from Sky Island.

The balloon octopus airship caravan returned for the first time. They brought a lot of goods from Alabasta eight days ago that the sky island did not have, and now they have a lot of special products from the sky island and returned smoothly.

Rowan looked up, and from a long distance away, he could see the balloon octopus airship slowly descending in the sky.

After being carefully adjusted by Alabasta's shipbuilder, the cabin, which was originally simple, is now almost as large as three ships, and has reached the level of a commercial fleet.

The goods it carries are naturally quite large.

"cowry……"

Crocodile murmured, he was quite interested in this gadget with great military potential.

As for Rowan, he was a little curious about the navy lined up from the Navy headquarters.

Crocodile's description of him can be used as a reference, but you can't fully believe it. After all, although it is Qibukai, it is also a pirate in the final analysis. It is natural for the navy to be unhappy.

When they entered the rapeseed flower, they also met the old mayor of the small town of Yaruga, and Huoka, a murloc near the murloc village, also followed him.

They heard that the balloon octopus airship was returning and came to welcome it.

After all, Yalujia is a port town with a limited amount of cargo, and it will take time to develop slowly. Therefore, Rapeseed Flower is the main port for trade with Sky Island.

"Oh, the ancestor is talking about him, I know."

The old mayor nodded again and again, "Yesterday I heard people say that that big guy seems to be living by the pier now."

...

When everyone arrived at the pier, they happened to catch up with the landing of the balloon octopus airship.

The workers on the pier are helping to load and unload the goods, including local Alabasta workers, Sky Islanders, Sandias, and even a few murlocs.

But the most conspicuous among them is a human being.

……No

Is that really "human"?

He is tall and strong, but if he insists on his height, he is only in his early three meters.

It may be high for ordinary people, but it is not uncommon in this sea.

What really catches the eye is his "width".

The muscles all over his body exploded, supporting his body like a rock, and there were countless scars, large and small, which proved that this man had experienced a real war.

At the moment, he is shirtless, helping to carry a huge box.

He lifted up the box that originally required more than ten people to load and unload it together, and then gently placed it on the ground.

"call!"

The man let out a sigh of relief. Like the workers around him, he was sweating all over.

But judging from his relaxed performance just now, he should have helped for a long time before.

A little girl from Rapeseed Flowers came to deliver water to the dock workers, and also gave this strange burly man a cup.

Although I don't know him, and he looks a bit scary...but they are all here to help, so he is definitely not a bad person!

The man scratched his head, picked up the corner of the glass with his thick fingers, and downed the water.

"Huh!"

The sweet water made the man sigh, and then smiled at the little girl: "Thank you, can I have another glass?"

"Of course, you're welcome, uncle!"

Just as the little girl was about to pass the cup, she accidentally fell and spilled water on the brawny man's trouser leg.

The strong man immediately bent down and helped the little girl up, his expression flustered.

"No, are you okay?"

"Did you twist your ankle? Let me rub it for you..."

"Don't cry, don't cry, look at my face! Wow!"

...

In the distance, the corners of Crocodile's eyes twitched slightly after seeing this scene.

How should I put it, there is a feeling——

Strange.

That's weird!

Although Crocodile is not happy with the navy, he also knows that there are indeed a small number of guys in the navy who are willing to put down their airs and mess around with ordinary residents.

But there is always such a thing as "temperament" in a person.

Crocodile has been hanging out at sea for many years, and he is very confident in his ability to judge people.

At first glance, Crocodile felt that there was a strong smell of blood around that burly man!

He killed someone?

more than.

Killed many people?

...More than that simple!

Along the way, Crocodile has seen too many guys who like to slaughter the weak. Their bodies only have a stench like sludge.

But the burly man in front of him was different.

That is a kind of almost substantive murderous intent!

It is different from Whitebeard's arrogant calm and self-confidence, and also different from Rowan's way of thinking like staring into the abyss.

That burly man must be the one who set foot on the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood—and the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood was piled up by himself.

Crocodile has no doubts that the big hands of a strong man can twist the head of an ordinary person from his neck!

But here lies the weirdest part.

There is a strange "sense of fragmentation" in the breath of this guy and his own words and deeds.

Now that strong man almost cried because he made a little girl cry!

It cannot be pretended.

...

"The base commander of the special branch of the Navy... is this guy?"

Crocodile didn't understand, but was shocked.

He was about to walk over, but was stopped by Luo Wen.

"No rush, let's have a look first."

After saying that, he led everyone to sit at a side stall, and ordered a glass of juice for Weiwei.

Crocodile folded his hands on his chest and asked puzzledly, "Honestly, why did you agree to the Navy's proposal?"

It stands to reason that with the force of the Four Seas Alliance at this stage, it is fully capable of maintaining the safety of the route with its own strength, and there is no need for the navy to intervene.

Luo Wen's purpose is to free the Universal Alliance from the restrictions of the world government, why should he take the initiative to lure wolves into the house?

But Rowan asked Crocodile, "Navy, what's wrong?"

Crocodile sneered a few times, "Navy? Aren't they the 'face of the world government'?"

"No, I mean the word 'Navy' itself."

Luo Wen said slowly: "Is there anything wrong with an army that maintains law and order at sea?"

"You want to use the title of 'Navy' to cultivate your own navy?!"

Crocodile was taken aback, he understood Rowan's thoughts.

At this stage, only the world government has real "maritime power" in the world. The rest of the countries, even today's Universal Alliance, do not have a formal maritime army.

One is that the world government does not allow it, and the other is lack of experience, which takes time and effort.

If the navy can really take advantage of the opportunity of establishing a naval branch in Alabasta to train a group of trustworthy "own navy", it will definitely be a profitable business.

But having said that, Crocodile couldn't help frowning.

"The crane in the navy is not a good stubble, play with her mind, beware of being played!"

"Actually, many things are not that complicated. You might as well wait and see."

Rowan smiled and pointed to the sea.

In the distance, a pirate ship is slowly approaching.

The moving heads and noisy voices proved that they were definitely not a group of well-meaning visitors.

...

This kind of thing is actually very common.

Looking at the pirate ship, the watchman on Rapeseed Blossom Wharf was about to sound the alarm and call for the King's Army to gather.

But Barlow's loud voice suddenly resounded through the pier.

"Don't be afraid, everyone, I have one thing to say!"

Barlow stood up and comforted him loudly: "I'm a navy, I'm here to convince them!"
