Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

The inspection operation at Naval Headquarters ended in an unexpected manner, with both sides reaching a very pleasant cooperation agreement.

Garp then took Smoker, who had a sour face, and Tashigi, who was also still in a daze, to rest.

Today's expenses will be paid by Cocoyasi Town. After using Den Den Mushi to lift the blockade on the 16th Branch, they will rest in Cocoyasi Town for one night before leaving on the Mok Pirates' ship tomorrow.

Mok, who was taken away by Garp and his two companions and temporarily became their guide, was also completely bewildered.

After all, I thought I was doomed this time, but I never expected... my boss actually found a powerful backer.

He was a high-ranking officer in the Navy Headquarters, a prominent figure known as a naval hero.

Things had changed so absurdly that even this burly pirate was somewhat confused about what was going on.

But as a pirate, he knew... his future operations in the East Blue were probably secure.

With naval heroes as their backing, how could they not be stable?

For a while.

Moke became very excited.

As expected of the boss, he can even bribe high-ranking officers in the Navy Headquarters. He's amazing!

only.

"Hey, hey, hey, you pirate kid!" Garp, beaming as if nothing had happened, interrupted Moke's excitement, saying with a grin, "Your boss told you to treat us well, so hurry up and tell me what other interesting places there are around here? Take this old man to see them~"

"Ah, yes! Navy hero, old man!" Moke, who had come to his senses, looked at Vice Admiral Garp and quickly responded, while patting the sullen-faced Colonel Smoker next to him, "Hey, Smoker, we're partners now, stop looking sour."

however.

"Get lost! The Navy will never cooperate with pirates." Smoker's face darkened further at Moke's overly familiar manner, and he glared at Moke. "If I find out you've done anything wrong, I'll arrest you myself!"

Although it's unclear why Vice Admiral Garp would accept bribes, as a naval captain, he would personally oversee their activities.

If Dand Shacher has done anything illegal or disorderly, he will absolutely not forgive them, and he will report what Lieutenant General Garp did today to Fleet Admiral Sengoku!

"Don't worry, unless ordered by the boss, I, Mok, would never do such a thing." Mok patted his broad chest and confidently assured him, then ignored Smoker, who raised an eyebrow at his words and was about to say something.

He scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "That's the interesting part!"

As if he had thought of something, his bull-like eyes blinked slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"I know where to go. It's a really interesting place. It's getting late, so it's time to rest."

With that, he clapped his hands and turned around.

"Let me show you how to have some fun!"

The words fell.

"???"

Before the curious Garp could ask where they were going, and amidst the three's confusion, Mok started walking excitedly in one direction.

After a while.

We arrived at a building that was luxuriously decorated, extravagant, and solemn.

Looking at the luxurious building before her, Tashigi's innocent face froze for a moment, then she blinked, "This looks like Sabaody Archipelago Park!"

just.

A beautiful woman with sexy clothes stood at the entrance, her face partially obscured by the dim evening light, where red, blue, and pink lights seemed to flicker.

As if she had thought of something, Tashigi blushed slightly, "It just looks so improper."

The words fell.

Smoker and Garp, standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something as well. One had a dark expression on his face, while the other was laughing heartily, watching with great interest.

however.

Before Smoker, whose face was dark with anger, could say anything...

"What? Shambaugh Valley Park? This used to be Dragon Park, a paradise built by the fishmen," Mok said cheerfully. "But the boss renovated it later, and now it's called..."

I looked up at the sign that was flashing red.

"Red Romance Private Club".

As he spoke, he blinked and looked at Smoker meaningfully.

"This is a place to relax and enjoy yourself!"

The voice just fell.

"Where are you taking us?" Smoker's face darkened, his hand holding the cigar trembling so much he almost dropped it. "Are you trying to corrupt the Navy's justice with this?"

"Dah ah~"

Aside from Garp, who remained cheerful and even somewhat curious, even the innocent Tashigi blushed and said nervously, "This kind of place is not suitable for the Marines, and besides, I'm a girl!"

Although she verbally refused, her bright eyes would occasionally steal glances at Hong Langman.

however.

Moke seemed oblivious to the two men's tense and strange expressions. Since he had come all this way and his boss was paying for it, he was going to enjoy himself. He pulled Smoker inside, saying, "Forget about places like this or that, this is a proper place. Since we're already here, come on, let me show you around!"

"Dah ah~"

"hateful!"

"Ahahaha~"

"Xiao Tao! Xiao Hong!" Ignoring the strange three people, Mo Ke shouted loudly into the room, "Come out and greet the guests!"

"..."X3

This name sounds so unserious!

Chapter 10 Gift

the next day.

Now that the matter was resolved, he wasn't in a hurry to return to the 16th branch. He planned to go back after Smoker and the others had left, since Cocoyasi Town wasn't far from the 16th branch anyway.

Xia Che, who had unexpectedly solved a major problem, slept quite comfortably last night.

When I woke up, it was almost noon.

After quickly washing up, Xia Che saw Miss Robin already in her office reading a book.

It must be said that he is a scholar who passed the doctoral exam with a perfect score at the age of 8 and became an archaeologist.

I just love reading.

After arriving in the East Blue with him, whenever Robin had free time, he would brew himself a pot of tea and leisurely read a book.

Xia Che picked up the document on his desk. Judging from the name on it, it should be the document that Mayor Nokigao handed over this morning.

He glanced at it briefly, then put it down again.

The above mainly records the arrangements made by Cocoyasi Town for the newly arrived refugees last night.

In just one night, everything was arranged in Cocoa West Town.

Of course~

Xia Che was not surprised by this.

After all these years, everyone in Cocoa West Town already knows how to make arrangements.

Unfortunately, this batch still lacked talent, which Xia Che found somewhat regrettable.

Although there is a guy named Pike who is good at processing fur and making leather armor, he doesn't have the architectural or shipbuilding talent he's looking for.

There aren't even any decent guys, let alone the scarce tech talent.

While strength is paramount on the high seas, with a single powerful individual capable of destroying a nation, technology is also of considerable importance in this vast ocean.

Didn't you see that even the powerful World Government, which controls the entire ocean, attaches great importance to technology?

It's easy to imagine~

Unfortunately, the World Government's research into technology is mainly focused on weaponry, researching what kind of weapons can destroy an island faster and easier, and wipe out the insectoid creatures beneath it.

As a result, even Vegapunk, the world's greatest scientist who wanted to change the world with technology, had to research terrifying killing weapons under the coercion and enticement of the World Government.

Xia Che was quite envious of this world's number one scientist, but it was simply too difficult to steal him away or recruit him.

There are very few scientists on this ocean. Those who are capable either have their own power base or have been recruited by the world government. It is extremely difficult to find outstanding wild scientists.

The more Xia Che thought about it, the cravings grew stronger. He sighed, shook his head, and seemed to remember that there were more important things to do today. He turned to look at Robin and said, "What about those three Marines? How are things going? I had Moke entertain them last night. Nothing should have gone wrong, right?"

Thinking about it now... it should have been Udo who hosted them. Compared to that big oaf Mok, Udo was much more clever, and being a Marine, he seemed more suitable.

however.

The voice just fell.

"It's...it's fine." Hearing Xia Che's words, Robin, who was reading a book, said with a strange expression without looking up, "Nothing should have happened."

"You don't look like nothing happened to you." Looking at Robin, Xia Che rubbed his forehead, a headache forming. "Has that guy Moke caused trouble again? Wasn't I told him to treat him well?"

“No, Moke should have treated them well.” Robin looked up this time, her tone still strange. “According to the news coming back from over there, they seem to have enjoyed it quite a bit and should be very satisfied.”

"Enjoyed?" Seemingly sensing Robin's strange tone, Xia Che frowned. "When they got back last night, it must have been quite late. Where did they rest?"

"Red Romance".

"..."

……

"How's it going? Comfortable here, right?" Moke smirked as he approached Smoker, a knowing smile on his rugged face. He nudged Smoker with his burly frame and said, "Whenever I'm too tired, just coming here to rest makes me feel so much better."

The words fell.

"..."

Seeing that lewd smile, Smoker said with a dark face, "I didn't do anything. A pirate is a pirate. Don't give me that lewd look."

"What's wrong? Didn't we soak in the hot springs, get a massage, and have our feet rubbed last night?" Moke was confused by Smoker's inexplicable anger. He seemed to have enjoyed it just yesterday!

I thought we'd become friends, so why are you angry again as soon as we meet?
