Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

Looking at Captain Smoker, and then at the naval hero Captain Smoker, he hesitated for a moment, then looked directly at Captain Smoker and said earnestly, "Captain Shacher is a good man. In our eyes, Captain Shacher has not violated any so-called justice. He is a hero to everyone!"

however.

"Justice? Hero?" Hearing the marine's words, Captain Smoker scoffed disdainfully. But seeing the marine who had been trembling with fear before now daring to look him in the eye, he snorted again, his contempt vanishing. He took a puff of his cigar, his expressionless face blank, and said calmly, "Since that's the case, you tell me! Has your naval captain colluded with pirates?"

Could it be that his subordinates really misunderstood him to have gained his approval?

The voice just fell.

"Of course not!" the marine replied without hesitation, head held high and chest puffed out.

He was right; Colonel Shacher did not collude with the pirates.

As for the Moke Pirates... they're a pirate crew kept by Colonel Shacher, so how can they be considered colluding with him?

With a righteous and indignant tone, "Even after being demoted, the colonel has never forgotten the principles in his heart..."

But he didn't finish his sentence.

At this time.

"Colonel Smoker." Sergeant Tashigi, who was standing next to Colonel Smoker and dressed in a checkered shirt and suit trousers, suddenly gripped the long sword at her waist and looked ahead with a serious expression. "A group of pirates is approaching."

The words fell.

Colonel Smoker, Vice Admiral Garp, and the marines all noticed and looked up at the same time.

"The Mok Pirates?"

What a coincidence!

"..."

Upon hearing Colonel Smoker's meaningful words, the marines who had also noticed him fell silent.

His lips twitched as he watched the Mok pirate ship slowly approaching. A sentence wanted to come out of his heart, but it seemed to be stuck in his throat, unable to be uttered.

What is that guy Moke doing at the 16th Marine Division at this time?!

Seeing Colonel Smoker's narrowed eyes and serious expression, his expression changed. He was about to change the subject and distance himself from the Moke Pirates when...

"Hey, isn't that Udo?"

A loud shout suddenly came from the Moke pirate ship.

That was the voice of the captain of the Moke Pirates.

“A few new faces here, are they new brothers from the branch? Never mind, Udo, where are you all headed? Why are you in such a shabby little boat? Are you also going to Cocoyasi Town?” Mok’s hearty and boisterous voice rang out, “With so many of you, how long will it take to row this little boat? We also need to deliver some goods, so hop on, let’s all go together!”

The words fell.

"..."X3

The three of them turned around and looked at the marine behind them, who was called Udo.

One was still happily eating snacks; another had a livid face and stared at him meaningfully; and yet another adjusted his glasses, looking at Udo with a huff as if he had been deceived.

And Udo...

His body trembled, his hands trembled, even his legs trembled. Under the gaze of the three, he turned to look at Mok, forcing an awkward smile onto his stiff face, and shouted loudly at Mok, who was waving at him, "Thank...thank you!!!"

Suddenly...

"You're welcome, we're all brothers!"

Udo's gratitude was met with a hearty response from Mok.

Not a moment.

The four of them boarded the pirate ship under the warm hospitality of Moke, and then, under the enthusiastic welcome of the Moke Pirates, they slowly sailed towards Cocoyasi Town.

only.

"What's wrong?" Looking at the group, Moke scratched his head in confusion, especially at Wuduo, whose face looked like he was about to cry and was filled with sorrow. "Brother Wuduo, are you feeling unwell?"

"I... I'm fine, I just suddenly remembered that I didn't put the clothes away at home."

"Is that all? It's just raining. We can just let them dry." Hearing Udo's words, Moke stopped worrying about it and turned to look at the other three who had followed him. He asked curiously, "Who are these three? Are they new brothers in the branch? Why do they all have such cold faces? And this guy is so old, why did he still join the navy?"

"..."

Please, stop talking.

Udo stared in disbelief at the clueless Mok, blinked, and was about to give the clumsy guy a hint so he could quickly contact the colonel and tell him what was going on when...

Sudden.

"Dong Dong~"

Sergeant Tashigi, who was standing nearby with a sullen expression, walked to the cabin door next to her, reached out and knocked, frowned, and asked, "What's in here?"

There are strange noises.

As soon as these words fell.

"?!"

Just as Udo was about to give a hint, he seemed to realize something, his expression changed again, and he quickly said, "No, there's nothing here..."

Before he could finish speaking.

“It’s really nothing.” Moke chuckled and walked to the cabin door, opened it, and said, “They’re just some starving refugees. Arrest them all.”

The words fell.

As the door was opened.

Suddenly.

What came into view of the three was a spacious yet dimly lit warehouse, and inside the warehouse... was countless figures.

Densely packed.

They were all huddled inside, their faces filled with terror and despair. They were dressed in rags, their faces pale and emaciated. There were men and women, old and young, and some who appeared to be mothers and children. The mother was holding her child tightly. As the door was suddenly opened, everyone looked up at them in a panic.

"That's not how it is!" Looking at the three pairs of narrowed glasses, Udo was filled with despair. He turned around, grabbed Moke by the collar, and shouted, "What are you doing? Didn't the colonel say not to let anyone else find out?"

"We're here now, aren't we? According to the boss, we should open the door to let in some fresh air, so it doesn't get too stuffy inside. If we all feel suffocated, we won't be dizzy when we go down." Moke chuckled and scratched his head, saying, "Besides, we're all brothers, what's the big deal? It's been so long since I've seen the boss, I wonder how he's doing?"

As he spoke, Moke seemed to have discovered something. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked to the bow of the ship, waving happily at the dock that was so close at hand.

"Boss, boss! Boss, I've brought the person!"

The voice just fell.

The three, who were initially furious at what they saw in the cabin, calmed down again. They took the despairing Udo to the bow of the ship and immediately saw a familiar figure on the dock.

Black hair, white naval uniform, not wearing the justice cloak issued by the Navy Headquarters, but instead wearing a black fur coat...

Captain Dand Shacher, commander of the 16th Naval Base.

They colluded with pirates to capture refugees.

Are they even afraid to wear the cloak of justice anymore?

Colonel Smoker narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the figure on the shore, and coldly removed the cigar from his lips.

Do you still live up to the justice you bear?

Colonel Shacher!

……

at the same time.

At the dock in Cocoyasi Town, Xia Che, who was preparing to return to the branch, also noticed the Mok pirate ship slowly approaching.

After seeing the five figures on the ship, he fell silent, a twitch at the corner of his mouth.

people?

Who did you bring here?!

My new book is out! New author, new book, please show your support, read it, vote for it, and leave a comment!

Chapter 5 is interesting.

"Hey, what are Mok and Udo doing here?"

At this time.

Nami walked over with a smile after saying goodbye to the villagers. She had been so frightened by the arrival of the naval inspection team that she had been completely terrified.

But after hearing Xia Che say that everything was alright, she breathed a sigh of relief and regained her cheerful and playful personality.

That's right. As long as they don't get caught by the inspection team as pirates, it's fine. As for applying for military funds... their 16th branch has always done it legally and compliantly!

"Oh, right~" As if remembering something, Nami looked at Shache beside her and said, "We need to inform Moke as soon as possible not to come to this area during this time, lest he be discovered by that inspection team."

"late!"

"What's late?" Nami looked at Xia Che with a puzzled expression, seemingly noticing something strange in his tone. But remembering that there were more important things to do, she quickly said, "It is indeed a bit late. We need to hurry to Branch 16 so that the inspection team doesn't find out anything."

As he spoke, he looked up again, watching the Mork pirate ship getting closer and closer.

"We must have Nojiko tell Moke to leave immediately. Also, who are those other three people on Moke's ship? Why do they all have such dark faces? Are they your partners again?"

"no!"

"No way~, could they be new crew members? Never mind, why talk about this now? Let's hurry back and deal with that inspection team!"

"No need to go back, that's the inspection team."

As Xia Che finished speaking, his expressionless face remained unchanged.

Suddenly.

"???"

Nami, who was originally anxious, was completely stunned.

He stared blankly at Xia Che, then looked up again, still looking blankly at the three people on the Moke pirate ship that were slowly approaching.

this moment.

She seemed to understand what he meant by "it's late" earlier.
