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

Chapter 62 Meeting
"Boss, this is..."

"I went to subscribe to a new billboard. They said they would add the Admiral of the Navy to it. Have you finished eating? This cake is good, right? I still have some! Do you want another one?"

"..."

After hearing what Mok said, Big Bear didn't know what to say for a moment, and looked at him with a strange look through his frameless glasses.

A naval hero... an admiral...

The owner of this small stall is really bold!

He couldn't help but think of what the most taciturn man on the sea said to him during the Alabasta incident.

"No, I've had enough." Looking at the pancake that was handed over, Big Bear smiled faintly and said politely, "Thank you...thank you~"

Although he still had many doubts in his heart, as long as the BOSS could heal Bonnie, it was enough. As for the rest, it was no longer important to him now.

"Don't want it? This is free, it's a gift from the boss, you're welcome!" After seeing that Big Bear really didn't want it, Mok didn't pass it over again. He simply folded the two pieces into one and took a big bite.

Then he continued casually, "You look so big, why do you only want to eat a small cake?"

While eating, he looked at the big bear who was carrying a wooden box and looking around with a frown on his face. He asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing~" Facing Mok's question, Big Bear shook his head, his eyes still curiously watching the scenes in front of him. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "It's... very lively here."

He just came to take a look today.

After hearing Mr. Udo introduce the Conomi Islands last night... there are many delicious and fun things to do here, and he also said that they could come over and have a look.

When Bonnie arrived at the new place, her face was immediately full of anticipation. She had been saying this morning that she wanted to come over and take a look, so... when he saw Bonnie's expectant look, he brought Bonnie over.

And actually, he was also a little curious about what kind of person the BOSS was.

Although he was a navy officer, he did so many things that violated navy laws and regulations, and each of them was enough to bring him, the new boss, to a military court.

Therefore, he was still somewhat curious about the BOSS.

But he didn't expect that this place... was more lively and prosperous than he had expected.

"This place wasn't as lively as it is now before. It was just a shabby village." Hearing what Big Bear said, Mok immediately raised his head proudly again, biting into a pancake and saying, "It was the boss who led us to build this place bit by bit. This is the boss's territory!"

Without waiting for the shocked bear to speak, Mok patted his chest and said, "I'm free today, so let Captain Mok show you around! I guarantee you'll be surprised."

The words fell.

He swallowed the pancake in his hand in one gulp, took big strides, and walked forward, leaving behind the big bear who had a helpless look on his face and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

"..."

Finally, after hearing Mok calling him to catch up, Big Bear could only shake his head helplessly and followed with Bonnie on his back.

Well, since Mok seemed to be familiar with this place, I followed him around to have a look!

Under Mok's leadership, the big bear carrying a box also wandered around the Konomy Islands with curiosity.

have to say……

The prosperity and bustle of this island really exceeded his expectations.

The look in his eyes changed from curiosity to confusion, and then to a slight shock.

In front of me...

The neat, clean and spacious cobblestone roads, the clean, uniform and very bright houses, the bustling streets, and the people coming and going...all of these surprised him very much.

You have to know that he was once the king of the Solbe Kingdom, so he knew very well how difficult it was to achieve what he saw now... Even the most prosperous capital of the Solbe Kingdom at that time was not as beautiful and tidy as this one.

Not to mention other things, the same was true of the capital of the Grand Line superpower they visited some time ago - the Kingdom of Alabasta.

What shocked him even more was...

The people walking along the street, their clean clothes and the genuine smiles on their faces made it impossible for him to imagine what Mok had just said...

This was once just a shabby village!

The surprised Big Bear couldn't help but think of his partner in his mind, and also recalled the days when he and Ginny were in the revolutionary army together...

But not for a while.

Big Bear regained his composure and continued to follow Mok quietly.

I have to say that under Mok's leadership, the trip was much more fun, especially since Mok would occasionally introduce what this place was like in the past and what that place is like now.

Even though Bonnie didn't see it with her own eyes, she seemed to feel it after hearing Mok's description. She even said that she must take a good look at it in the future. Mok laughed and gave her a portion of Colonel Chicken Nuggets.

That’s right, it seems to be the colonel of the BOSS!
After Big Bear got it, he even looked at it in silence.

But let’s not say it tastes pretty good.

There are indeed a lot of delicious food here!
Moreover, Mok seemed to have a lot of prestige here, and many people greeted Mok along the way.

Although he is a pirate, he seems to be respected by everyone here.

This puzzled Big Bear. Looking at the villagers who were so enthusiastic about Mok, he hesitated and asked, "Everyone..."

Not finished yet.

"Wow, hahaha~" Mok, who was greeting the villagers, seemed to understand what Big Bear wanted to ask. He laughed his own unique laugh and said cheerfully, "These were brought by me and Big Boss!"

Suddenly.

"..."

Big Bear seemed to understand something and nodded.

only.

He raised his head and looked at the others who were working under the scorching sun and were even being urged to work, "Those...those..."

"Oh~, those! Those are pirates, I tricked them into giving them to me!"

"..."

After hearing what Mok said, Big Bear seemed to understand something and nodded again.

Looking at that group of guys who seemed to be the opposite of the villagers in the town, his eyelids raised, but he didn't say anything.

At this time.

Seems to have seen something.

Mok stopped and suddenly shouted to the front not far away, "You old man! That's right, it's you!"

As he said that, he walked towards the old man who was happily strolling on the street with a little girl in front of him, and slapped his big palm directly on the old man's shoulder. With a "pop" sound, the granddaughter was so scared that she hid behind the old man.

Before Big Bear could react, Mok smiled widely and said, "Now you know I didn't lie to you!"

The old man who was slapped by Mok's big hand was frightened, and then he seemed to see clearly who was in front of him. He smiled awkwardly, "Haha, Captain Mok!" He said with some guilt, "I, I, I'm sorry, it was a misunderstanding between us!"

"Mok~" The big bear behind him also came up and looked at the old man in front of him and the little girl hiding behind him with confusion. He hesitated for a moment, but before he could open his mouth to ask.

"I brought this old man here not long ago~" Mok patted Big Bear on the back and laughed cheerfully, "At that time, this old man scolded me all the way!"

As soon as these words fell.

"..."

The old man in front of him also showed embarrassment on his face, "Captain Mok..."

At that time, for various reasons, he did curse the pirate in front of him all the way, and he also cursed the navy at that time...

That’s right, the old man and little girl in front of them are the former king of the Michael Kingdom, Luce, and his granddaughter who were brought here not long ago.

When he saw that scene, he thought it was a collusion between officials and bandits, and the pirates in front of him were going to capture them and make them slaves. However, he did not expect that what these pirates said to the navy at that time was indeed not a lie!
Now he, his granddaughter, and the people who once followed him all live here, and no one has to endure hunger and cold anymore.

Especially because he could read and write and had managed a country, he got a good job and now has a high salary. He no longer has to take care of his granddaughter who is starving or living in a garbage dump.

Thinking of this, Luce's eyes turned red, and he looked at Mok with a guilty look on his face, "Thank you very much, please forgive my rudeness at that time, and that colonel, I have always wanted to apologize to him in person, but I can't find him!"

As he spoke, the little granddaughter behind him also popped her head out a little embarrassedly and whispered cautiously, "Mok... Captain, thank you!"

These childish words had just fallen.

“Hahaha~” Mok had a happy smile on his face, as if he didn’t care at all about what happened at that time. He patted Luce’s skinny shoulder with his big palm again and laughed, “No need to apologize, old man! I, Mok, don’t care about this kind of thing. You just need to live a good life here. As for Yan Nan, I will bring your gratitude to him!”

Suddenly.

This hearty and optimistic smile once again moved Luce and his granddaughter to tears.

And looking at the scene before my eyes...

Carrying the box on his back, Big Bear couldn't help but reveal a faint smile on his face. He patted the box behind him with his back hand and muttered to himself, "Bonnie, it seems we have come to a good place!"

It seems... his new BOSS is indeed incredible!
The voice just fell.

Sudden.

Just as he was receiving gratitude from the grandfather and grandson, Mok, who had been smiling carefreely, put away the smile on his face, lowered his head and stared at Luce with a serious expression.

"???"

Seeing a puzzled look on Luce's face, he was just about to ask Captain Mok what was the matter.

At this time.

"I almost forgot!" Mok slapped his head with his big hand, as if he remembered something, and said suddenly, "You haven't told the boss about your treasure yet! I'm telling you, old man, you're going to be rich!"

Having said that, before Luce, who seemed to have remembered something, opened his mouth to say something.

Mok quickly turned his head and looked at Big Bear beside him, "Big Bear, hurry up, take me back, we have to tell the boss right away!"

That thing...

It is indeed a devil fruit!
