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

Chapter 78 Joyboy
after that.

King Cobra seemed to be much more relaxed. He was arm in arm with Mok, and they came back together with a leisurely look on his face.

If King Cobra wasn't short, he would probably want to put his arm around Mok's shoulder and say he would treat him next time.

Princess Weiwei, who was standing at the door with her hands folded, had a dark face. She grabbed her father's ear and was ready to find a place where no one was around to have a good talk.

Of course, this is actually nothing.

Hong Romance is a formal place and there is nothing else inside.

At the beginning, Xia Che would relax from time to time, but not anymore.

There are more enjoyable things now, and it doesn’t have to be so troublesome anymore.

By the way, he is also planning to open a Red Romance branch in the rainy land of the Alabasta Kingdom!

I believe that with the exotic atmosphere of the Kingdom of Alabasta... and the charming dancers' costumes, it will definitely be very popular.

He still remembered that after the Alabasta incident, Robin, Nami, Kuina and Vivi put on Alabasta dancer costumes in order to experience the exotic customs of Alabasta. It was a feast for the eyes at that time!
The year-end banquet continues.

This happens at the end of every year. At the beginning, there weren't so many people in the Conomi Islands. In order to encourage everyone and let them relax, he held a year-end party in accordance with the opening banquet customs and the end of the year.

We all get together, eat and drink, and talk about the achievements made this year and the goals we want to achieve next year, to welcome the new year and give everyone a boost.

But as more and more people joined the 16 branches and the Konomy Islands, the year-end banquet was passed down and became bigger and bigger, forming an island-wide carnival to welcome the new year.

Those who have just joined and those who have joined long ago will gather together and have a lively banquet together. It has become a special festival for the 16 branches and the Konomy Islands.

Of course, this promotes the integration of newcomers and deepens everyone’s communication!

Therefore, although Vegapunk was unable to come out for various reasons, Xia Che still specially prepared a banquet of delicious food for him so that he could participate.

Even Valpo and Eneel who followed Vegapunk were prepared.

The three of them attended the banquet remotely through the surveillance on the Conomi Islands.

The sea is still searching for Vegapunk, so Vegapunk, with such a conspicuous head, cannot run around at will.

Vegapunk also knows his situation. He was not actually a researcher of the World Government. At the beginning, he joined MADS, an illegal scientific research team funded by Du Field, and served as the leader.

It was just that later on, because the team was too arrogant and discovered that the [Bloodline Factor] had spread everywhere, they were incorporated into the World Government.

After that experience, Vegapunk knew... he should just do his research quietly!
If he is found by the World Government again this time, he might not only lose his freedom but also his life.

only.

When Xia Che left, Vegapunk touched his big head, as if he was in deep thought, as if he wanted to cut everything off.

During this time, Vegapunk gradually got used to the life here and started to invest in new research. As for Valpo and Enelu...

Valpo, Xia Che ignored it and just left the guy to Vegapunk to deal with.

As for Enel, to be honest... the Thunder Fruit is still quite tempting, but this guy has only been here for a short time, and he is still the same...

Unruly!
Thinking that Vegapunk is currently short of energy, it would be better to let him stay with Vegapunk and then see what happens when the time comes.

Whether it's time to beat him or do something else, wait until Vegapunk is no longer needed!
The end of this year.

There are also many more people in Branch 16.

Kuina, Big Bear and Bonnie all joined, and Vivi and King Cobra also stayed behind, spending a wonderful year-end.

As for the Kingdom of Alabasta...

With Mok's pirate flag there, and with the help of Baroque Works and the King's Army, nothing serious happened.

Although there were indeed quite a few blind guys causing trouble in the beginning, after sending Big Bear, Mok and Cloe to deal with them a few times, there were fewer and fewer of these blind guys.

The development of Rainland is also very good. As a big country on the Grand Line, there are many tourists, businessmen and pirates coming and going, which promotes the development of Rainland's economy.

The sales of orange wine and Jonelle cosmetics are also considerable.

That’s right, the cosmetic formula given by Chopper has been put into production!
It became very popular once it was sold.

Especially with the promotion of a certain young and beautiful princess, it became a hot seller in Alabasta.

A certain royal family does not pass on their secret recipe!
Every lady passing by, whether she is a merchant or a pirate, will take a set away. It is even said that because it is so popular, some people who cannot buy it have to delay their voyage and send people to queue up overnight, which has greatly promoted the development of the local economy of Rainland.

Of course, in this era, bustle also means chaos, so a lot of effort was spent to maintain order.

When reporting, Princess Vivi looked very proud. King Cobra was also very pleased to see his daughter growing up so well.

This time he just came to see what the territory of the Alabasta Kingdom's savior was like. The result was very unexpected. He believed that there would be no problem even if he were to govern a kingdom.

As the banquet progressed, Xia Che and his group also had a small gathering. Nami, who had become close friends with Princess Vivi, was also talking quietly. From time to time, Nami would put her hands on her hips and look at Vivi, asking her why she asked so many questions.
Robin was still elegantly sipping tea and reading a book.

Mok was once again arm in arm with King Cobra, and they agreed to go to Red Romance later to relax. Vivi was so angry that she stood up and directly pulled the drunk King Cobra away.

Clo and Udo were also drinking and talking about some plans for the training camp.

Big Bear was saying... He was drinking quietly, smiling and looking at Bonnie who was happily walking around everyone.

Seeing hope, he smiles more often during this period.

During this time, Bonnie, who was tired from playing, was sent back to Vegapunk.

Bonnie still needs to continue treatment, but now she is fine and recovery is only a matter of time.

The outsourced worker, Daz Bonis, was also drinking in silence, with a serious expression.

soon.

The end of the year, which was more lively than in previous years, ended just like that, and even the once cheerful Konomy Islands became quiet.

Next…

Navy Branch 16 will usher in a new year and new developments!

After Robin and he sent the drunk Nami, Vivi, and Kuina back to their rooms, Xia Che came over to Big Bear who was still drinking quietly and said, "I've arranged for someone to clean up. Don't worry about this place."

"It's okay. I want to drink a little longer. Really, Boss! Please let me clean up later. Let me stay a little longer." The big bear wearing frameless glasses raised his head and looked at Xia Che, revealing his unique hearty and gentle smile. "Thank you, Boss. Bonnie and I are very happy, really very happy!"

As he spoke, the eyes of this nearly seven-meter-tall man in front of Xia Che became moist.

"Actually, I've already accepted it. Maybe Jade Scale is really an incurable disease! It's just that I still don't want to give up. But now... Bonnie can be cured, it can really be cured!"

Big Bear looked up at the starry night sky, with a slight smile on his face. "I don't know if Ginny saw it, but I kept my promise to you! Ginny!"

Bonnie is his most adorable daughter!
"I've always wanted to say thank you to you in person, Boss! Thank you so much!"

The words fell.

"...It's okay!" Looking at the seven-meter-tall strong man who was sincerely thanking him with tears in his eyes, to be honest, Xia Che was a little uncomfortable with it, but he still patted Da Xiong on the back, thought for a while, and said, "Just work hard!"

"Please rest assured, I will work hard. Even if I sacrifice myself, I won't regret it so much!"

“No need to be so exaggerated!”

"Thank you so much, Boss!" Big Bear raised his head and looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky again, his mouth slightly raised, and suddenly said, "Boss, you know so much, do you think Joy Boy really exists?"

“It should exist!”

"Does it really exist? Although my father always says it exists, I know he is also doubting whether it really exists, and so am I! But now, BOSS." Big Bear had a smile on his face but wiped away his tears, "You are the Joy Boy to me and Bonnie!"

"???"

Oh no, he's become Joey Boy?

Hearing what Da Xiong said, Xia Che shuddered all over, but seeing Da Xiong's warm smile and determined eyes, he didn't say anything more. He stood up and patted Da Xiong on the shoulder. "Then work hard. Next... As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, you will be very busy!"

"I'm happy to do that! Boss~"

"I'm going to rest first, you should go to bed early too!"

Xia Che waved his hand and ignored the big bear who didn't know how long he would stay there, and walked straight towards his house.

Big Bear also looked at the BOSS's back until it disappeared from his sight, and then he continued to look at the stars quietly.

He hasn't been that calm in a long time!
the other side.

Xia Che yawned as he turned the corner.

"Dear Boss~" Robin, who had been here for an unknown period of time, also leaned against the corner, looking at Xia Che with an elegant smile on his face, and winked playfully, saying, "You are also my Joy Boy!"

"..."

This sinister woman must have eavesdropped on everything here.

Before Xia Che, with a gloomy face, could say anything.

I saw.

Miss Robin blinked again, gently lifted her hair beside her ears, and said with an elegant and intellectual smile, "Dear Boss, you must be tired today too!"

"?!"
