Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

In fact, he was also a little curious about what kind of person the BOSS was.

Despite being a naval officer, he committed numerous violations of naval laws and regulations, each of which was enough to land him, the new boss, in a military court.

Therefore, he was still somewhat curious about the BOSS.

But to his surprise, the place was unexpectedly bustling and prosperous.

“This place wasn’t as lively as it is now before; it was just a run-down village.” Hearing Big Bear’s words, Moke proudly raised his head again, biting into a flatbread as he said, “It was the boss who led us to build this place up bit by bit. This is the boss’s territory!”

Before Big Bear, who was looking shocked by his words, could speak, Moke patted his chest and said, "I happen to have some free time today, so let Captain Moke take you around! I guarantee you'll be very surprised."

The words fell.

He then shoveled down the sesame seed cake in his hand and strode forward, leaving behind Big Bear, who looked helpless and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

"..."

Finally, after hearing Mok urging him to hurry up and catch up, Big Bear could only shake his head helplessly and follow after Bonnie on his back.

Well then, since Moke seemed to be quite familiar with this place, I followed him around and looked around!

Led by Moke, the bear carrying the box also began to explore the Konom Islands with curiosity.

have to say……

The island's prosperity and liveliness truly exceeded his expectations.

The look in his eyes shifted from initial curiosity to doubt, and then to a slight hint of shock.

In front of me...

The neat, clean, and spacious stone-paved roads, the tidy and uniform houses, the bustling streets, and the crowds of people coming and going... all of these surprised him greatly.

Having once been the king of the Kingdom of Sorbe, he knew all too well how difficult it was to achieve what he was seeing now… Even the most prosperous capital city in the Kingdom of Sorbe back then wasn’t this beautiful and orderly.

Not to mention anything else, the capital of Alabasta, the superpower on the Grand Line they visited recently, is the same.

What shocked him even more was...

The people passing by on the street, their clean clothes, and their genuine smiles made it impossible for him to imagine what Mok had just said...

This used to be just a dilapidated village!

The surprised bear couldn't help but think of one of his companions, and also recalled the days when he and Ginny were in the revolutionary army...

But not for a while.

Big Bear regained his composure and continued to quietly follow Moke.

It must be said that under Moke's guidance, the journey was much more enjoyable, especially since Moke would occasionally introduce how this place used to be and how that place is now.

Even though Bonnie didn't see it with her own eyes, she seemed to feel it through Mok's description. She even said that she would definitely take a good look at it later, which earned her a serving of Colonel's Chicken Nuggets from Mok's hearty laughter.

That's right, it seems to be the colonel who is the boss!

After receiving it, Big Bear stared at it in silence.

But I must say, the taste is pretty good too.

There are definitely a lot of delicious foods here!

Moreover, Mok seemed to be very prestigious here, and many people greeted him along the way.

Despite being a pirate, he seemed to be respected by everyone here.

This puzzled Big Bear greatly.

Looking at the enthusiastic villagers of Moke, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Everyone..."

Not finished yet.

"Hahaha~" Moke, who was greeting the villagers, seemed to understand what Big Bear wanted to ask. After letting out his unique laugh, he said cheerfully, "These are all things that the boss and I kidnapped!"

Suddenly.

"..."

Big Bear seemed to understand something and nodded.

only.

Looking up at the others working under the scorching sun, even being urged on by others, "Those...those..."

"Oh, those! They were all pirates; I tricked them into giving them to me!"

"..."

Upon hearing Moke's words, Big Bear seemed to understand something and nodded again.

He raised an eyelid at the group of guys who seemed to be the complete opposite of the villagers in the town, but said nothing.

At this time.

Seems to have seen something.

Moke stopped in his tracks and suddenly shouted at a spot not far ahead, "You old man! Yes, it's you!"

As he spoke, he walked over to an elderly man who was happily strolling down the street with a little girl. He slapped the old man's shoulder with his large hand, and the granddaughter was so frightened that she hid behind the old man.

Before Big Bear could react, Moke grinned and laughed, "Now you know I wasn't lying to you!"

The old man who was being patted by Moke's large hand was startled, but then seemed to recognize who it was. He gave an embarrassed smile, "Hey hahaha, Captain Moke!" He added somewhat apologetically, "I...I'm sorry, we misunderstood!"

"Mok~" The big bear behind him also came up, looking at the old man and the little girl hiding behind him with a puzzled look. He hesitated for a moment, but before he could ask anything.

"This old man is someone I brought here not long ago~" Moke patted the bear on the back and laughed heartily, "This old man cursed at me the whole way back then!"

As soon as these words fell.

"..."

The old man in front of him also looked embarrassed, "Captain Moke..."

At that time, for various reasons, he did indeed curse the pirate in front of him all the way, and he also cursed the marine at that time...

Indeed, the old man and the little girl in front of us are none other than Luce, the former king of the Kingdom of Michael, and his granddaughter, who were brought here not long ago.

When he saw that scene, he thought it was a case of collusion between officials and bandits, and that the pirates in front of him were going to capture them and make them slaves. But he never expected that what the pirates and the navy said at that time was not a lie!

Now he lives here with his granddaughter and the people who once followed him, and no one has to endure hunger and cold anymore.

In particular, because he is literate and has managed a country, he got a good job with a fairly high salary. He no longer has to go hungry with his granddaughter or live with her in a garbage dump.

Thinking of this, Luce's eyes involuntarily reddened, and he looked at Moke with a guilty expression. "Thank you so much. Please forgive my rudeness back then. And that colonel, I have been wanting to apologize to him in person, but I can't find him!"

As she spoke, her little granddaughter peeked out a little shyly and whispered cautiously, "Captain Moke, thank you!"

These innocent words had barely left his lips.

"Hahaha~" Moke smiled happily, seemingly unconcerned about what had happened. He slapped Luce's thin shoulder again and grinned, "No need to apologize, old man! I, Moke, don't care about such things. Just live well here. As for Smoker, I'll pass on your thanks!"

Suddenly.

That cheerful and optimistic smile once again moved Luce and his granddaughter to tears.

And looking at the scene before him...

Carrying the suitcase on his back, Big Bear couldn't help but smile faintly. He gently patted the suitcase behind him with the back of his hand and muttered to himself, "Bonnie, it seems we've come to a nice place!"

It seems... his new boss is indeed quite incredible!

The voice just fell.

Sudden.

Just as the grandfather and grandson were expressing their gratitude, Moke, who had been laughing heartily, put away his smile and stared at Luce with a serious expression.

"???"

Luce looked puzzled, and was about to ask Captain Moke what was wrong when...

At this time.

"I almost forgot!" Moke slapped his head, as if remembering something, and said suddenly, "You haven't told the boss about your treasure yet! Let me tell you, old man, you're about to strike it rich!"

As he spoke, before Luce, who seemed to have remembered something, could open his mouth to say something,

Moke quickly turned to look at Big Bear beside him, "Big Bear, hurry up and slap me back. We need to tell the boss right away!"

That thing...

It is indeed a Devil Fruit!

Chapter 63 Crazy Plan

"Boss, boss!"

"what?"

The office door was suddenly opened.

But Xia Che, looking refreshed, didn't say much. He took a sip of his black tea, seemingly unaffected, and leisurely watched Mo Ke rush in, saying calmly, "How many times have I told you? Don't rush, don't panic! Tell me slowly~"

"Boss..."

Moke scratched his head, wondering why his boss seemed unusually relaxed today.

A quick glance around the office revealed that Robin, who usually leisurely reads books there, was not present today.

of course.

He's not here to see Sister Robin.

Turning back to his boss, he ignored the relaxed aura emanating from him and quickly handed him the treasure chest he had brought from the cabin, saying happily, "Boss, this is it!"

When I returned last time, I was shocked to see that even the Admiral had become their backer. Then, I was hurriedly taken out to sea by my boss.

then.

Because he was so excited about going on another adventure with his boss, he forgot about the treasure the old man had given him and left it in the ship's vault. He only remembered it when he saw the old man again.

As he spoke, looking at Xia Che, who was sipping tea like an old cadre, Mo Ke opened the treasure chest directly, his tone filled with excitement.

"This must be the Devil Fruit the boss was talking about! I almost forgot about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the treasure chest was opened, and Xia Che took a closer look.
