Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

After blinking in confusion, he sighed, slammed his hand on the table, and said, "Meeting adjourned. Everyone can leave now if there's nothing else to do."

"???"

Upon hearing Marshal Zhan Guo's words, everyone looked at him with confusion and bewilderment.

What do you mean by "everything's fine and everyone's gone"?

“Sengoku~” Tsuru frowned as she looked at Sengoku and asked directly, “Aren’t we discussing capturing the Mok Pirates right now? Are we going to corner them in the first half of the Grand Line?”

“No need anymore!”

"??? What do you mean by 'not needed'?"

"This guy..." Hearing Tsuru's surprised words, Sengoku, under the puzzled gazes of everyone, rubbed his forehead in exasperation, feeling like he didn't know where to vent his anger, and said helplessly, "He's already gone back to the East Blue!"

The voice just fell.

Everyone:...

The naval commanders, who had been engaged in a heated discussion, suddenly looked at each other in bewilderment.

What exactly is the Mok Pirates doing?

Having already defeated the Seven Warlords of the Sea and caused so much trouble, shouldn't they continue their triumphant advance and realize their ambitions?

Why did it roll back to the East China Sea again?

Are you out of your mind?!

A week-long tour of the Grand Line?

Chapter 59 Arrival

"Is this guy... out of his mind?"

Smoker watched the Mok pirate ship gradually disappear into the distance with a dark expression.

They just swagger into my territory in their pirate ship, and I have to entertain them?

What is this place for?

You have to understand, he's a naval captain!

"Hehe~" Upon hearing her superior's words, Tashigi immediately gave an awkward laugh and said, "Colonel Shacher... after all, it's a vacation, so it's normal for him to relax a bit."

"A vacation? Going on vacation in a pirate ship?" Smoker glanced sideways at his first mate, flicked his cigar, and said expressionlessly, "This guy has caused quite a bit of trouble lately!"

The Alabasta Incident, the Drum Kingdom Incident.

If this guy hadn't made him hand over the intelligence to the Marine Headquarters, he probably wouldn't even know that this bastard had actually gone to the Grand Line all this time.

and……

Or is it some kind of vacation or trip?!

Thinking of this, Smoker's face turned strange, and he couldn't help but recall the time when the Navy Headquarters had asked him about the situation of the East Blue Overlord.

Such a scoundrel was actually recognized by the Navy Headquarters and was called a law-abiding Navy branch captain!

What a hell!

"Fine, good that you're gone!" Smoker removed the cigar from his lips, his expression returning to its usual blank look. He looked at his second-in-command, Tashigi, and asked calmly, "How's your investigation into the God Valley incident going?"

"As the colonel instructed, I've been secretly investigating, but I haven't found much. All the intelligence is the same as what we've obtained before." Hearing Colonel Smoker ask about this, Tashigi also put away her smirk, adjusted her glasses, and said with a serious expression, "The Rocks Pirates almost destroyed the sea. Vice Admiral Garp saved the Celestial Dragons and the Marines and was awarded the title of Marine Hero."

“Naval heroes…” Smoker flicked the ash from his cigar, still frowning, “The Rocks Pirates, the Celestial Dragons… God Valley!”

So, what exactly is hidden in the God Valley incident?

Why did Lieutenant General Garp interrupt his question so seriously at that time?

Where did that bastard find out?

but……

"Everything's normal, that's why nothing's normal." Colonel Smoker smirked, taking another deep drag on his cigar. "Did you find out anything from the secret inquiries I sent you?"

“This…” Tashigi felt a little embarrassed when she remembered asking, her cheeks flushed. “Kuina said she didn’t know about it, but she still took me to ask Colonel Shattrath.”

"Just go and ask?"

“But it’s nothing serious. Colonel Shacher didn’t blame me, and…” Looking at Smoker’s furrowed brows, Tashigi seemed to remember something. She pulled something out of her pocket and quickly added, “Colonel Shacher also gave me a pouch, saying that everything Colonel Smoker wants to know is in it.”

As he spoke, he carefully took out a specially made brocade pouch from his pocket and handed it to Colonel Smoker.

"???"

Colonel Smoker took the brocade pouch with a puzzled look, seemingly surprised... that guy would tell him so easily?

After a moment's hesitation, he opened the brocade pouch, which contained only a small note. Without further ado, Smoker continued to open it.

then.

I looked at the small note.

Suddenly.

His face darkened again. He looked up at the vast sea before him and gritted his teeth, saying, "That bastard!!!"

Seeing Colonel Smoker's expression, Tashigi blinked curiously and leaned over to look at the piece of paper that Colonel Smoker was about to crumple into a ball.

I saw.

There was only one sentence written on it.

【I don't know either. 】

"..."

Tashigi smiled helplessly and stuck out her tongue, "Colonel Shacher is really, really..."

“实在是太混账了！”斯摩格上校直接打断了达斯琪的话，帮她把后面的话补充完后，又弹了弹手上的烟灰，黑着脸继续说道，“这家伙……迟早把他揍一顿。”

Well then, this will only make him more curious about what it is.

Since that's the case, let him investigate on his own!

only.

Looking at the brocade pouch in his hand, Smoker pondered for a moment, then turned to Tashigi and said, "Don't tell anyone else about this."

"Yes! Colonel Smoker!"

Tashigi had already guessed the seriousness of the matter. Even Vice Admiral Garp, the hero of the Navy, was so wary of it, so how could it not be serious?

He quickly responded with a serious expression.

At this time.

As she finished speaking...

"Pulu pulu~, pulu pulu~"

The Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scoop) rang.

Smoker simply took out his Den Den Mushi, answered the call, and said casually, "Hello, what's up?"

After a while...

With a dark expression, he hung up the Den Den Mushi, muttering to himself, "The Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

"What's wrong, Colonel Smoker?" Tashigi asked, puzzled. "Is something wrong at headquarters again?"

"It's nothing!" Smoker snorted coldly, offering no explanation. He simply shoved the Den Den Mushi back in, then looked up at the sea before him and said expressionlessly, "I'll submit the military funding request to Marine Headquarters later."

"??? Another request for military funding? Didn't the Navy Headquarters already allocate it not long ago?" Tashigi stared blankly at Captain Smoker. "So soon you're requesting it again? Will the Navy Headquarters even allocate it?"

“It’s alright. Tell Marine Headquarters that the Moko Pirates have re-entered the East Blue and attacked Loguetown.” Smoker flicked the ash from his cigar. “Loguetown has suffered heavy losses and needs rebuilding.”

Ignoring Tashigi's strange expression, he continued to look up at the vast sea before him, in the direction where Shach had just left, and muttered to himself, "What exactly do you want, Colonel Dand Shach!"

……

"I didn't do anything~, really I didn't do anything~, it was just an accident, don't worry, please trust my sense of justice."

"dudu~"

After hanging up the call with Kuzan, Shattrath put the Den Den Mushi away again and lay back down, enjoying the care of his personal secretary.

Kuzan only came to ask about the Mok Pirates; it's not a big deal.

Now that we're here... why not take Wapol with us? Wapol's abilities are quite remarkable; he can synthesize all sorts of things.

especially……

Synthetic alloy!

During his later years of wandering, this guy relied on his own abilities to synthesize a special alloy, becoming rich overnight. In the end, he even established a new regime in the South China Sea—the Evil Black Iron Bucket Kingdom.

Since we've already encountered this, what's the point of staying there?

Just pack it up and take it with you.

Perhaps it will be useful for technological development?

The only regret is that he can't extract the Devil Fruit; otherwise, he would have liked to just take it out directly.

While it's possible to place a bunch of fruit and then kill the Devil Fruit user, which could potentially cause the Devil Fruit to revive on nearby fruit, this method isn't foolproof.

Therefore, that's the best we can do for now. We'll keep him locked up and make him obediently manufacture alloys!

Anyway, the Mok Pirates captured the person, so what does it have to do with the Navy's 16th Branch?

At this time.

"We're here! We're finally home!" Nami, who was directing the ship, suddenly shouted. "Get ready, we're home."

As Nami finished speaking.

Everyone looked up and, upon seeing the familiar outline of the island, relaxed smiles appeared on their faces.

Are you finally back?

At this moment.

Even Bonnie, who had hidden herself back in the box, seemed to have heard it. With a happy and curious tone, she said, "Daddy, Daddy, are we here yet? Our new home~ Bonnie really wants to see it too!"
