Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

Big Bear quickly and earnestly answered the Den Den Mushi.

Not a moment.

He hung up the Den Den Mushi, thanked the technician, and stood up.

"What's wrong?" Moke asked curiously upon seeing this. "Is there another mission?"

“King Cobra and the others are returning to the Kingdom of Alabasta,” Big Bear said, shaking his head. “I should go and see them off.”

"Oh? You're leaving already? I was planning to secretly bring King Cobra here again later! Oh well, I'll go see King Cobra off too! I'll invite him next time."

"..."

Hearing Moke's regretful voice, Big Bear's mouth twitched, but after adjusting his glasses, he didn't say anything and led Moke, who was following behind him, directly outside.

Not a moment.

The two then went to the 16th Naval Branch.

Vivi and King Cobra were ready. Although they were reluctant to part, as the king and princess of the Alabasta Kingdom, they could not leave their kingdom for too long.

Especially since the Crocodile incident had only just happened, if their king and princess were to disappear for too long, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause.

Of course, seeing that King Cobra was about to leave, Mok, as a like-minded friend, was still a little reluctant to see him go. He quickly patted his chest and said that he would invite King Cobra again next time. This made King Cobra, who was also a little reluctant to leave, smile happily. Just as he was about to nod and say that he would definitely come next time, he seemed to feel a cold glint behind him.

Then he quickly changed his tune, welcoming them to visit the Kingdom of Alabasta, without mentioning anything about the Red Romance.

Seeing that her father had become more serious, Princess Vivi nodded in satisfaction. Wearing a light blue evening gown, she expressed that she had enjoyed her time there very much, but was also very reluctant to leave. Then she looked at Xia Che…

Although the changes in the East China Sea during this period had frightened her somewhat.

This is much scarier than fighting Crocodile!

However, as a grateful princess of the Alabasta Kingdom, she still expressed that the Alabasta Kingdom would never betray its friends, and told Shacher to contact her if he needed any help.

King Cobra smiled and nodded in response.

Although I have no idea what this guy is trying to do.

Not only do they cheat pirates, but they also dare to cheat the Navy and member states?

Is he tired of being a naval captain and planning to become a pirate instead?

If this gets out, forget about being a pirate, even the pirates in the East Blue would probably want to beat him up.

However, Cobra, who was equally grateful to Shacher for saving the Kingdom of Alabasta, agreed to his daughter's suggestion and even hinted with a cheerful smile that if Shacher really couldn't make it, he could live a new life in Alabasta under an assumed name.

Xia Che expressed his gratitude for this.

He appreciated King Cobra's kindness.

When he really has to start a new life under an assumed name, the Kingdom of Alabasta probably won't be able to protect him anymore, even though the Kingdom of Alabasta is not just a simple member state.

But seeing that even so, the Kingdom of Alabasta had not abandoned them, everyone was still quite moved.

Finally, after reminding Princess Vivi to promote Jonell cosmetics to the nobles and kings of other member states, it was getting late, and Princess Vivi and King Cobra could only regretfully board the Great Bear Express and depart.

This train will go all the way to the Alabasta Royal Palace, where a special stop has been set up.

In response, the 16th Naval Branch established several specific stations, some of which were secret and inaccessible to ordinary people.

After all, the bear's ability... is convenient, but every time it arrives, it leaves a huge bear paw print. We can't just let the bear take pictures of it whenever it wants!

Vivi, flying in the air, also looked at the island behind her. Although she was flying very fast and couldn't see clearly, she still looked at it, as if she could see everyone.

Seeing his daughter's reluctance to part, how could King Cobra not understand?

He said cheerfully, "Actually, I can keep an eye on the Kingdom of Alabasta. You don't need to leave so soon."

“I… am the princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta!” Although Vivi’s eyes were somewhat moved when she heard her father’s words, she shook her head in the end. “How can I leave my kingdom at this time?”

“You silly child…” Hearing Vivi’s words, Kobra’s eyes showed relief, but also a little heartache. In the end, he said cheerfully, “It’s okay, we’ll come again when we have time next time. Hahaha, this place is quite interesting.”

"I think you, Father, find the romance of red flowers interesting!"

"..."

Hearing his daughter's cold words, Kobra's smile froze. He chuckled awkwardly and looked away, saying, "Wow, that was fast! I couldn't even hear you. Vivi, what did you just say?"

"..."

……

the other side.

After Princess Vivi left, Xia Che looked at the busy Navy Branch 16 and sighed, "We're going to be busy again!"

Chapter 85 Training Camp

In early 1518 of the Sea Calendar, Moke, the overlord of the East Blue, fought a solo battle against Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the bounties of East Blue pirates began to rise.

then……

Then, that was it.

Since the last East Blue Pirate Feast, the East Blue pirates have once again entered a period of decline!

Of course, none of this has anything to do with the 16th Naval Division.

Once the mission is complete, exchange the money if you need to, or swindle military funds if you need to.

Even because of this operation, after hearing that the overlord of the East Blue was reviving the glory of the East Blue pirates, Smoker, who had originally received a support mission from the Marine Headquarters, turned around and left without hesitation, without even coming.

They even cooperated with the 16th Naval Division afterward, submitting a damage report to headquarters.

This is the tacit understanding we've developed over this period of time!

Even Shacher couldn't help but sigh, realizing that Smoker, who used to be independent, unruly, and strictly businesslike, had now become so slick.

now.

Xia Che looked with satisfaction at the bustling training camp of the 16th Naval Branch, where the trainees were working hard in training today.

Currently, the main instructors at the Navy's 16th Division training camp are Kuina, Crowe, and outsourced staff member Daz Bonis.

Kuina teaches Kendo and the breathing technique adapted by Shattrath.

Kro taught Silent Step, along with some of his own techniques and his understanding of the Navy's Six Styles - Shave.

As for Daz Bones, although most of his abilities rely on his Devil Fruit, he also knows quite a bit about martial arts.

Therefore, the main programs of the 16th Naval Branch Training Camp include Kendo, Martial Arts, Naval Six Styles, and Kuro's Silent Step.

The only regret is that... learning the Six Styles of the Navy requires a certain amount of talent, and even now, not many people have mastered it.

Moreover, there are still too few instructors in the 16 branches.

Especially the Navy Six Styles... Even the most exhausted instructor, Kuro, is only just beginning to understand the Navy Six Styles.

As for everyone else…

As for Kuma... he developed his abilities through Devil Fruits, so he can't teach much.

As for Moke, needless to say, it would be quite difficult for him to teach others.

To be fair, this guy does have some talent in certain aspects.

For example, the Iron Body in the Navy Type 6 was learned quite well.

This is why Xia Che made him the captain; learning how to use Iron Block to fight in the East China Sea dungeon is enough.

However, Xia Che's talent for dealing with iron blocks also caused him considerable worry.

After all, as everyone knows, this iron block is a bit... problematic!

"BOSS."

"Oh, it's Kro!" Xia Che, who was feeling melancholy, looked at Kro, who had appeared silently behind him, and nodded slightly. "It seems you've developed the power of the Silent-Silent Fruit quite well."

"Thank you for your recognition, Boss." Clot adjusted his glasses and nodded with a smile.

He had to admit that this fruit... he felt was very suitable for him.

Now his assassination skills have improved dramatically, and he has also developed many abilities based on the fruit.

only.

"Focusing on developing Devil Fruit abilities is fine, but don't forget about training your physical abilities." Xia Che thought for a moment and then added, "To become a strong person, physical strength is also very important."

And it's domineering!

As a certain teacher once said, domineering spirit is what transcends everything.

Awakening Haki is not so simple. Ordinary people can obtain Armament Haki and Observation Haki through training and can continuously improve them, but they can only reach a higher level in actual combat when they reach a certain limit.

Both "Conqueror's Haki" and "the highest level of Observation Haki" are innate and cannot be acquired through training. In fact, the highest level of Observation Haki is even rarer than Conqueror's Haki.

Furthermore, being domineering isn't something you can just learn at will.

To be honest, Branch 16 doesn't have any special instructors who teach domineering skills.

Even for cadets within the Navy Headquarters, let alone the 16th Branch, awakening Haki is not so easy.

I've heard that everyone in the Amazon Lily Kingdom is proficient in Armament Haki and even has their own training methods, but I don't know if that's true.

One can imagine.

Don't be fooled by the abundance of domineering individuals in the new world; domineering isn't something easily learned.

This is why Teacher Kai later received so much respect!

After briefly explaining the training direction, Kuro also fell into deep thought. As someone who had developed a silent footwork technique on his own that was no weaker than one of the Navy's Six Styles, "Shave," Kuro was quite clever.

He may not have the same talent as that pink-haired guy, but I believe that what hindered him from becoming stronger in the early stages was not hard work or talent, but his vision.

not to mention……

How many people in the entire ocean can compare to that pink-haired girl?

“I understand. I’ll ask Mr. Big Bear for advice later,” Kro said earnestly.

He was also very aware of the importance of physical fitness. For example, a guy with a very strong natural Devil Fruit was knocked down by a big, dumb guy with a single stick.

It’s so embarrassing!

Kro didn't want to end up like that.
