Pirates of the Navy

Chapter 16 Fujitora, Smile

A lot has changed in the small town of Crockle since that night.

After the bandit gangs nearby disappeared, the life safety of the townspeople was no longer in danger, and they, who were simple in nature, put relaxed smiles on their faces.

And the tavern of the bearded store manager has also resumed its usual bustle, with an endless stream of customers coming and going.

The gang of gangsters in the town disbanded, and the little gangster named Jake disappeared without a trace.But for such scum, no one would care about his whereabouts.

Until now, the townspeople of Crocker Town and Long Yi still don't know that it was Jike who lured the bandits here
The town returned to its former calm, and Long Yi, who had recuperated for a week, had also arrived at the time to leave.

"Long Yi, your wound doesn't matter, do you want it? Well, I wish you a smooth journey."

In front of the small town of Crocker, the bearded store manager and a large group of townspeople who heard the news and came to see him off showed reluctance on their faces. They thought and thought about the words they kept in their hearts, but they still didn't say it in the end.

They knew that people like Long Yi would not stay in this remote town for the rest of their lives like they did.

The colorful and vast world is the stage for this boy.

"It's okay, the hard bread and wild strawberry are recovering well. I mean, my wound is almost healed. The store manager and everyone, thank you for your care during this time."

Bowing to the bearded store manager and the townspeople, Long Yi showed a bright smile, ran forward a few steps, then turned around, and waved his hands vigorously.

"Goodbye, take care!"

During this period of time, everything that happened in Croker Town flashed before Long Yi's eyes. In the end, he kept all the memories in his heart and turned them into motivation to move on.

He still has a long way to go.

Seeing Long Yi's back gradually disappearing, the bearded store manager's eyes were a bit sad. Although Long Yi didn't stay in the town for a long time, he left an indelible impact on Crocker Town.

Many years later, when Long Yi shook the world with the title of the strongest in the world.They, the townspeople of Crocker Town, always like to proudly tell their juniors about the deeds of Long Yi instantly killing the bandit leader that night.

As the place where the legend of "ghosts and gods" began, Crockle Town was also regarded as a holy place like Rogge Town, attracting countless people who came here with admiration, and brought great improvements to the lives of residents in the town.
Half a month later, the port city, Ulabaya.

As a city near the sea, the prosperity of Ulabaya is quite different from that of the inland towns.

Although it is not as majestic as the capital of the king, in terms of the vitality of the city, the city of Ulabaya is not far behind the capital of the king.

However, due to the huge population flow in the city, the mixed fish and dragons have also laid hidden dangers for the city's security.

Gamblers, liars, thieves, and even pirates gather in the dark corners of the city.

"Tch, what the hell is this place, it's really annoying, I really want to set a fire here!"

On the busy street, a burly man with a sailor towel on his head, a red jacket and a musket in his waist was looking at the vendors on both sides of the road with a vicious look on his face.

"Brother Fram, don't be impulsive, this is the territory of the government navy."

And behind him, two wretched men who were obviously his servants hurriedly dissuaded him, and said to the big man with low eyebrows.

Hearing the words "government navy", the big man called Fram sneered disdainfully, and the contempt in his eyes was not concealed at all.

If it was in a place like the Great Route, the government navy might still have some deterrent power against pirates like them.

But this is the North Sea, the most chaotic North Sea with the largest number of pirates.Those guys in the navy branch are corrupt and have mixed up with pirates like them. There is nothing terrible at all.

But remembering his boss' instructions, Fram still suppressed his temper and did not cause trouble on this street.

Just because he doesn't want to cause trouble doesn't mean things won't come to him.

Turning a corner, Fram was going to take his younger brother to the underground casino here to find his boss, but a figure with a strange giant sword stopped them.

The man was wearing a hood that covered his face, he was half a body shorter than Fram, and he was carrying a huge sword that looked extremely heavy on his back, which looked indescribably ridiculous.

"You are. Fram? Fram of the Burning Pirates?"

The person on the opposite side spoke slowly, not like an adult's voice, but rather childish.

The sound came to Fram's ears, making him slightly taken aback. After a short moment of absent-mindedness, he started laughing up to the sky.

"Hahaha! Now such a small brat is here to be a bounty hunter? Hey, brat, are you desperate?"

As a vicious pirate who has been wandering at sea for seven or eight years, Fram never thought that one day, he would be threatened by a brat.It feels as ridiculous as if the rabbit didn't turn around and run away when facing the lion, but instead showed its rabbit teeth to the lion.

Seeing his boss laughing so happily, two of Fram's subordinates also smiled knowingly.The streets and alleys were soon filled with their arrogant laughter.

But the figure opposite them remained silent and did not speak.

After Fram and his group had had enough laughs, the hooded boy took off the hood on his head, revealing a young and outrageous face.

"I don't need so many people, um. It's enough to keep one."

Ignoring the mocking eyes of Fram and the others, the boy did not reach out to grab the giant sword behind his back, but drew out the dagger at his waist.

"Hey, brat, swinging a knife indiscriminately will hurt you."

Until now, Fram and the others still didn't realize what kind of opponent they were facing. They looked at Long Yi with mocking smiles, and one of them "kindly" reminded him.

"Worry about yourselves."

With a sneer at the corner of his mouth, Long Yi's figure disappeared instantly under the gaze of the three of them.

A second later, the smile on Fram's face stopped abruptly, and his face flushed as if someone had strangled his neck. He watched in disbelief that the minions who were laughing with him just now fell down, A feeling of fear welled up in my heart.

Shaking off the blood on the blade, Long Yi sighed deeply.

The Burning Pirates do all sorts of evil, and they like to kill and set fire the most. Killing these scumbags will never show any mercy.He was just regretting that these little shrimps didn't have any rewards.

Turning around, Long Yi looked up at the tall Fram, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

After feeling Long Yi's icy eyes, Fram, who was still invincible just now, couldn't help but retreat three or four steps. In a panic, he accidentally lost his balance and fell backwards.

He looked in horror at Long Yi who was slowly approaching him, tears and snot came out of his eyes and nose, the shadow of death enveloped his heart, and the fear in his heart almost reached the extreme.

Judging from Long Yi's attack just now, Fram can be sure that his escape speed will definitely not be faster than the opponent's sword.In other words, his life and death are in the hands of the other party.

"I don't want to talk nonsense, where is "Arsonist" Geers? You just tell me, I"

Long Yi spoke calmly. He looked down at Fram who was slumped on the ground. Before he could say the phrase "I'll give you a good time", Fram's psychological defense completely collapsed. He revealed the whereabouts of his boss.

"Boss Gels is in the underground casino, just two streets away from here, and you can enter through the secret door of the bar at the end of the street! I swear what I said is true! I said everything, please forgive me I die!"

Looking at Fram who cooperated so well, three black lines appeared on Long Yi's forehead.

After thinking for a few seconds, he still chose to stun the pirate, turned around and left the alley.

"Uncle, there seems to be someone killed there, and a pirate who claimed to be the Burning Pirates fainted, could you please tell the patrolling navy?"

Long Yi, who walked out of the alley, casually stopped an uncle who seemed to be very kind, and ignored the uncle's shocked and puzzled eyes, he slowly left this street and went to the underground casino that Fram just mentioned.

Today is the seventh day that Long Yi came to Ulabaya and became a bounty hunter.

Before leaving Crocker Town, Long Yi refused to take Gu Bo's body to receive the reward.So the bearded store manager and the kind townspeople put together a small sum of money for him, so that he would not come to Ulabaya penniless.

But those money has long been bottomed out in daily expenses, as a last resort, Long Yi can only start a life of hunting pirates.

Although the current Long Yi is still in the establishment of the Navy Headquarters, but for the entry test of Yatogami's family, he decided to hide his identity and officially return to the Navy after completing his revenge on "One-Eyed Belik".

However, as the saying goes, "If you have money, you can travel all over the world, but if you don't have money, you can't walk a single step." After leaving the headquarters, Long Yi fully realized the importance of Bailey.

And those pirates on the bounty list became his main source of income.

For example, the boss of the Burning Pirates that he is hunting now, "Arsonist" Geers, has a bounty of 320 million Baileys, which is enough to support Long Yi to spend a long time in Ulabaya.

According to what Fram said, Long Yi arrived at the bar at the end of the street smoothly.

There is no surprising amount of tips, but Long Yi has a sharp enough sword.Under Jian Feng's intimidation, the bartender ignored Long Yi's age and put him in the so-called underground casino.

However, the moment he entered the underground casino, Long Yi was almost not suffocated by the smell of smoke and sweat.

It's dark and smoky here.There are red-eyed, yelling gamblers everywhere.

Frowning tightly, he held his breath and began to look for his target.

Passing through these fanatical gamblers, Long Yi patrolled back and forth in the underground casino, and finally in a corner, he found the person he was looking for, "Arsonist" Geers.

Just when he was about to walk over, the person sitting opposite Geers, who was betting against him made Long Yi's eyes widen in disbelief.

Wooden staff and sword, purple kimono, hideous cross scars on the face, plus the iconic blindness.

"Admiral Fujitora, smile?!"

Swallowing involuntarily, Long Yi finally confirmed the identity of that person, that burly blind uncle, who will become the admiral of the navy in the future, codenamed Fujitora.

"But why is he here?"

Touching his smooth chin, Long Yi suppressed the killing intent on his body, stroked the sword hilt at his waist, and walked quietly towards the corner.

The moment he left, Fujitora's ears suddenly moved, and he turned his head slightly, his chaotic eyes happened to look in Long Yi's direction.
