Pirates: Build a high wall from the East China Sea.

Chapter 444 Departure
the other side.

After arranging the work, Xia Che also began to rest.

I have to say that Mermaid Island is quite beautiful...

The group also visited Coral Hill, Coral Apartment, Mermaid Bay, Fish Villa, Sea Forest, and even the Mermaid Cafe.

Along the way, I enjoyed the unique charm of mermaids.

Especially the Mermaid Bay... blue sky, sunshine, white clouds, swimsuits, and secretaries, it really deserves to be called a dreamy place like a fairy tale world.

How wonderful!

only.

At this time, Xia Che, who was enjoying himself on a beach lounge chair beside the Mermaid Bay, received a phone call.

"Oh, Senior Smoker? I have indeed left the East China Sea. What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

"Yes, that Straw Hat guy is indeed Garp's grandson. Yes, yes, yes. There is also someone who can be considered my junior fellow apprentice, brother-in-law? No, that's not true. That's all slander!"

"You don't know me yet? That's really slander! Forget it, let's not talk about this. Haven't those guys entered the Grand Line yet?"

Hearing what Smoker said, Xia Che raised his eyelids and was a little surprised, but after a moment, he figured it out.

Although Luffy has been honing his skills on the construction site for several years, coupled with the development of the East China Sea Navy and the ocean network during this period, Luffy and his companions must have gained more experience compared to the original work.

But compared to Smoker, who has been training in Rogue Town and has focused on physical training since the past two years, I believe he is still far behind.

Xia Che laughed and said, "Don't worry about me. If they are incapable of entering the Grand Line, just keep them in the East China Sea."

As soon as these words fell.

Smoker on the other side: ...

After a moment of silence, he added, "They have entered the Grand Line!"

"He has entered. That's right. If we calculate the time, Rayleigh should have arrived in Rogue Town." After hearing what Smoker said, Xia Che touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and said with a gloating tone, "You really couldn't stop that guy from attacking, so you got beaten! Ahem, don't worry..."

Looking at Smoker's dark face, Xia Che quickly changed his tone and said seriously, "Since that guy has taken action, it is against the rules. I will help you get justice later!"

only.

"Rayleigh? Pluto Rayleigh?" Smoker's face turned dark, as if he couldn't bear it any longer, and he cursed at Xia Che, "Such a dangerous guy came to Rogue Town, and you told me only now?"

"Ah? Didn't I tell you in advance?"

"No! When did you say that?"

"Ah, I did forget! But don't worry, I just invited that guy to coat the ship, and he has promised not to cause trouble in the East China Sea." Xia Che laughed and said, "Besides, there's no point in telling you, you can't deal with that old guy!"

"..."

Although this is true, can you please not say it directly, you bastard?

Didn’t the Navy Headquarters say that you, a cunning boy, are the one who understands the ways of the world the best?
Smoker's mouth twitched, and he looked at Xia Che speechlessly. Then he sneered and said, "That's a pity. I didn't see the Rayleigh you mentioned!"

"???"

did not see?

Xia Che looked at Smoker in surprise, then frowned, "If you didn't see it, why did you let him out?"

He glanced at Smoker and said suspiciously, "You weren't really defeated by that kid, were you? You're too weak! Aren't you afraid that Mr. Zephyr will come to you for training again?"

"Hey, hey, hey, who was defeated by that kid?"

"Then how did that kid get into the Grand Line?"

"I let him out!"

"???" Hearing Smoker's words, Xia Che immediately looked at him with great sorrow and said, "Smoker, you have fallen! You wouldn't let them go just because you saw Garp's grandson and my junior brother were in there!"

"Who cares about you!" Smoker ignored Xia Che's nonsense, snorted coldly, and said lightly, "It's just that those guys are too annoying."

With a complicated tone, "I go to work in the morning, come to challenge at noon, go to work in the afternoon, and come to challenge again in the evening." What is he trying to do?
He couldn't figure out whether those guys were here to work or to challenge the enemy!

Especially those guys... Because of the challenges during this period, and because they went to work after the challenges, they have become familiar with the local residents and have gained a lot of support from local people.

And there are more and more of them. They say... their hard work and perseverance have moved everyone. If they keep playing... maybe the whole Rogue Town will be fans of those guys!
And twice a day, without fail...

What's going on?

Come to him to exercise?

There is another sentence he didn't say... that is, the Straw Hat Boy had clearly used heavy force himself, but he still got up again under the cheers of the local residents and his friends, and his strength became a little stronger.

It was as tenacious as a cockroach, which made his eyelids twitch. He felt that if it continued like this, he would have an accident sooner or later!
If he hadn't knocked the guy out in the end and the kid's partner had to go to work, he didn't know how long the fight would have lasted!
"I've been catching pirates for so many years, but I've never seen anything so outrageous!" Smoker flicked the cigar in his hand and said with a complicated tone, "Finally, I thought about it and decided that it was too annoying, so I decided not to play house with those guys. But they found a loophole and I ran away."

The voice just fell.

Before Xia Che could say anything, a strange voice came from the side.

"Major General Smoker, it was obviously you who was careless. In the end, you were blown away by the big windmill of the Straw Hat Boy, the three-sword swordsman's three thousand blowing sawdust, and the two-sword swordsman's shaving sawdust. Then, they took the opportunity to speed up and run directly into the Upside-Down Mountain. I have to say, their ship ran really fast."

These words...

Xia Che: ...

Smoker: ...

"Shut up! Do you have any manners?" Smoker shouted at the person beside him with a sullen face. "I'm on the phone with someone! Why are you butting in?"

Then he ignored Xia Che's strange look, coughed, and continued calmly, "Now it seems that I have done nothing wrong. By the way, did they buy their ship from the East China Sea Navy?"

"Right! That's right! You know, that ship is worth 8.7 billion. For this, they borrowed more than 15 billion. Calculating the time, it's time for them to pay back the loan!"

"You are such a wicked TN!" Smoker's mouth twitched when he heard Xia Che's shameless words, "Aren't you afraid that Garp will come after you if he finds out?"

"No!" Xia Che shook his head and said, "No, after he knows, he will just pretend that he doesn't have this grandson!"

"..."

That's exactly what the old guy would do.

"I hope those guys won't pay back their debts and make you cry to death!" Smoker cursed casually and snorted coldly, "Hmph, so be it! I still have to deal with the big trouble you left behind!"

After saying that, he hung up the Den Den Mushi with a "beep, beep, beep".

Xia Che on the other side shook his head helplessly, "I was planning to invite Miss Dashiqi to swim in Mermaid Bay together! What a pity."

Then, she took in the peeled grapes handed to her by Robin, who was wearing a mature swimsuit. Then, as if she remembered something, she frowned and muttered to herself, "Rayleigh didn't do anything? What is that guy doing now?"

……

however.

Little did they know that Rayleigh, who had been here for two days, was also confused after seeing Luffy!

Unexpected, really unexpected!
At this moment, after seeing the Straw Hat Pirates enter the Grand Line, he immediately shook his head with a wry smile, "Is this the guy that Shanks bet his arm on? It's really unexpected!"

And not only that boy, even his companions were somewhat unexpected.

They came from the same construction site, and among them was my junior fellow student and brother-in-law from the East China Sea Navy.

"Hahaha, I wonder what these guys will bring to this chaotic era?" Rayleigh smiled and shook his head, thinking of the straw hat, his eyes were filled with complex expressions, but in the end, he sighed and said with a smile, "I'm really looking forward to your adventure!" Then...

Looking around, Rayleigh, who was wearing beach pants and a short-sleeved shirt, couldn't help but sigh, "The East China Sea has really changed a lot! It's really convenient to travel back and forth. No wonder those guys took the sea train when they first went out to sea."

He looked at the ticket in his hand again, still with emotion, "Now it's so convenient to go to Sky Island. If that idiot Roger saw it, he would be shocked. Forget it, since there's nothing else to do, I'll go to Sky Island to take a look. I wonder what has become of that place under the control of the East China Sea Navy?"

As he said that, he yawned, stretched, and walked towards the station, muttering to himself, "As expected, the longer you live, the more interesting things you see. It's a pity that the idiot captain died so soon. I wonder what his expression would be when he saw that the execution platform where he was executed has become a famous tourist attraction, and 500 Baileys can go up there and experience what it felt like to be the Pirate King back then?!"

"Hahaha, this is really interesting!"
