Ah Jian straightened his face and quickly waved his hand to show his innocence.

But he forgot that besides Nami, there was another mischievous little girl.

The girl with short, blue hair tugged at Bellemere's sleeve, tilted her head back, pointed at Bellemere's chest, and complained:

“Ah Jian was peeking at you just now.”

A tender voice echoed in A-Jian's ears. This young man, who was only in his early thirties, had the face of a fifty-year-old. His eyes, filled with sorrow and despair, were fixed on Nokiko. The blue-haired girl had a striking red headband, wore a vest and trousers, and was barefoot in flip-flops, giving her a somewhat unrestrained and carefree appearance.

Fortunately, Bellemere's attention was focused on the dragon at the moment, and she didn't pay much attention to what was happening around her.

Otherwise, Ah Jian really wanted to buy a block of tofu and just smash his head against it to his death.

Seeing the dragon throw the body of a young fisherman onto the ground, Bellemere's sense of justice made her temporarily ignore the strength of both sides and, disregarding Ah Jian's advice, immediately step out from the crowd.

Before Bellemere could carry out his justice, he was kicked away by the dragon.

Nami and Nojiko's beautiful eyes were misty with tears. Just as they were about to help Bellemere up from the ground, Ken grabbed them with lightning speed.

"Ah Jian, let me go!"

"Bellmeal is being bullied by a big bad guy, Ah Jian, why are you stopping us!"

Faced with the angry questions from the two girls he treated like his own children, Ah Jian remained surprisingly silent.

At this moment, he wanted to see Bellemere alright more than anyone else. Although he didn't have much strength, he still had a keen eye. It was because he had glimpsed the terrifying strength of the dragon from its kick that Ken had no choice but to resort to this tactic to prevent Nami and Nojiko from dying needlessly.

"Blame me if you want, but as long as you're safe, it's worth it even if you blame me for the rest of my life!"

As a seasoned simp, A-Jian was already mentally prepared.

One step, two steps.

Just as the dragon was about to crush Bellemere's head with a single kick, Nami and Nojiko's pupils dilated, and their minds went completely blank.

Nami pressed her lips tightly together, tears welling up in her eyes, and prayed in her heart as if shouting:

"God, please, I beg you, anyone will do anything to save Bellemere! I'd be willing to be your slave for the rest of my life! Bellemere is such a good person, you must save her!"

As if hearing Nami's prayer, a pebble streaked across the sky like a shooting star, making a sharp whistling sound.

The evil dragon that made all the villagers of Cocoa West Village uneasy and trembling was sent flying backward the moment it touched the stone, smashing through a house behind it.

Everyone present was stunned.

The fishmen felt a chill run down their spines.

These thugs from Fishman Street had naturally done their research. Knowing that the East Sea was the weakest sea and that there were no powerful enemies near Cocoyasi Village, they dared to come here and establish themselves as kings.

Logically speaking, with their innate physical strength being ten times that of humans, fish-men should be able to dominate this sea and enjoy a life they never had in the New World.

But now, what's going on?

"who?"

The crowd seemed to be pushed aside by an invisible force, surging out to both sides like a tide.

Nami and Nojiko were pushed and shoved by the crowd, and hurriedly retreated. If Ken hadn't caught them in his arms in time, they would have fallen to the ground.

"I'm just a hero out of interest."

Nami and Nojiko craned their necks, trying to see who had rescued Bellemere through the crowd.

Ah Jian sighed helplessly and simply let the two women ride on his shoulders.

Looking out from the high vantage point, the two women finally saw who it was.

A young man wearing a navy cloak stepped out. Although he looked to be about the same age as Nami and Nojiko, he had a unique aura that made him stand out even in a crowd.

The boy had a resolute face; beneath thick eyebrows were a pair of bright, piercing eyes, deep and dark. Below a sharply defined nose, thin lips were tightly pressed together, outlining an image of uprightness and integrity. (Reading by [Name of Reader])

As Yang Ming stepped out of the crowd, a system notification echoed in his ears.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from One-Punch Man. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"

A lottery wheel slowly appeared, with prizes divided into two types: monsters and heroes.

Monster: Monster cells, Nen ability, evolution...

Hero: Atomic Slash, Immortality, Devouring...

[Devour]: Enhances the stomach's digestive function, enabling it to devour any object.

This is the worst possible outcome.

Yang Ming felt a little regretful, as the ability to devour overlapped with that of the Saint Thief. It would have been great if he had obtained such an ability at the very beginning of his transmigration.

This is now considered icing on the cake.

"navy?"

"Still a little kid?"

When they saw Yang Ming's true face, the Arlong Pirates felt a bit amused and then breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Arlong had suffered such a heavy defeat because of his carelessness.

To stabilize morale, the officers of the Arlong Pirates stepped forward one after another.

A soft-boned fishman with a small braid and wearing training clothes immediately stepped forward and unleashed a palm strike that shattered a monument.

"Fishman Wazheng Fist!"

An octopus-like fish-man with a trumpet-shaped mouth and six arms gripped six standard-issue longswords, wielding them wildly with the air of someone who could easily defeat a master with a flurry of punches, creating a flurry of sword shadows.

"Six-Sword Style!"

A murloc with sausage lips took a deep breath, and the moment he opened his mouth, the liquid stored in his body condensed into a high-density water cannon under air pressure and shot out.

"Iron cannon!"

Several other unremarkable merman officers, each wielding swords, spears, and halberds, formed a circle and surrounded the enemy.

When a lion fights a rabbit, he also uses all his strength.

Although the Arlong Pirates originated from Fishman Street and lacked culture and knowledge, their fighting experience since childhood taught them that this seemingly harmless boy possessed a power that could not be ignored. Therefore, they had to gather the strength of all their officers and kill Yang Ming on the spot in one fell swoop.

This is a battle with a huge disparity in strength!

This is a one-sided massacre!

All the villagers of Cocoyasi Village present seemed to be able to foresee the tragic fate that the boy would suffer next.

Some villagers turned their heads away in despair, while others covered their children's eyes tightly, and still others clasped their hands together in front of their chests and prayed silently for Yang Ming.

Ordinary people are actually very simple and smart; they know who is truly good to them.

Although these ordinary people seem so weak, only able to help Yang Ming through prayer, once someone can unlock their potential, they will form a force that will shock the world.

Nami bit her upper lip tightly, trying hard not to let the tears fall, but the mist still stubbornly covered her eyes, blurring her vision.

"Jian, will he die?"

To Nami and Nojiko's surprise, Ken replied in an exceptionally firm tone:

No! He won't!

"Because he is the strongest newcomer to rise in the Navy Headquarters recently!"

As a garrison officer, Ah Jian is naturally a member of the Navy.

However, being a garrison officer is a rather tough job. Basically, it involves being alone or in two or three groups, and being sent down to villages under the jurisdiction of the Navy branch to maintain daily security and act as a liaison. If pirates invade a village, they can report the situation in time by using a Den Den Mushi (snail phone).

There is no future in being a police officer; one's career is predictable, and most officers end up as privates in the navy.

Like other ordinary naval soldiers, A-Jian had heard about Yang Ming's past deeds.

Everyone longs to be the protagonist of the world.

However, due to limitations in innate talent and the lack of opportunities, most people end up as mediocre individuals.

Even so, countless ordinary people still dream of being the protagonist.

Without a doubt, Yang Ming is the protagonist in A Jian's eyes.

By reading about Yang Ming's past deeds, A-Jian felt as if he were reading a thick novel, and he unconsciously became immersed in the story.

This was the first time Nami and Nojiko had ever seen Ken show such an expression. A light suddenly appeared in the cloudy eyes of this dejected, middle-aged man.

As if in response to Ah Jian's expectations, Yang Ming raised his right hand, as if shooing away a swarm of annoying flies.

"In the East China Sea, if you're a dragon, you'd better coil up; if you're a tiger, you'd better lie down!"

Immediately afterwards, to outsiders, Hachi and the other members of the Arlong Pirates seemed to be under some kind of curse, fainting and collapsing to the ground, unconscious.

Chapter 109 Only the strong can prove what fairness and justice are.

Bellemere clutched her stomach and struggled to her feet, feeling as if several bones were broken, her face turning pale.

Although she joined the army at a young age and had a period of hard work, she was only better than ordinary people. She had no way to deal with a monster like the evil dragon that was completely unreasonable.

Just as she was thinking to herself that things were going badly, she looked up and saw that the evil dragon that had been causing trouble was nowhere to be seen, and the strange-looking fish-man pirates were lying all over the ground.

"What just happened?"

Under the overwhelming power of Conqueror's Haki, the Arlong Pirates' officers instantly fainted, collapsing to the ground like drunken pigs.

To ordinary people, this is undoubtedly like a miracle.

Nami and Nojiko rushed over and hugged Bellemere tightly around the neck, one on each side.

"Belmel, thank goodness, you're alright!"

"It was all thanks to that navy officer that those despicable pirates were subdued in one fell swoop."

Amidst the two women's chattering, Bellemere finally understood the situation.

Bellemere looked up and gazed at the tall figure standing among the pirates, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

"That man is actually the legendary Captain Yang Ming?"

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Yang Ming's experiences over the past period have already spread throughout the entire navy, and his ideal of defending honor with blood has won the hearts of the people.

Which soldier who joins the army doesn't initially think about protecting their country?
