One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

Zoro dismissed it with disdain.

Only children dance.

The next moment, Zoro appeared uncontrollably behind the two of them, his face dark, and he stomped in place to the beat of the upbeat music.

Who am I? What am I doing?

In the blink of an eye, the sailors on deck were all swaying happily together. The sadness they had felt at parting had completely disappeared, leaving only the most primal joy.

half a month later.

The warships were anchored in the port of Rogge.

"Major Loya, we've arrived!"

"Okay, thank you for bringing me here."

Loya shouldered his pack.

Behind him followed Fenbdi and Zango, as well as Zoro and his daughter Ririka.

Six people in total.

"Next, we'll split up."

Loya was going to report to the branch, but Ririka and her daughter, along with Zoro, were not Marines and could not go with them.

Loya looked at Zoro.

"Zoro, protect Ririka."

"give it to me."

Zoro nodded in response.

The tasks were already assigned while we were on the warship.

He was responsible for protecting Ririka.

Lili was in charge of purchasing the shop as a future base. Tavern owners are very sensitive to intelligence work and have enough experience, so this little thing was no problem for her.

"set off!"

The six people split into two teams and entered Loguetown.

Looking at the endless bustling streets and the dense crowds around them, Lily and her two companions felt like country bumpkins visiting the city.

"Mom, this place is so big!"

"Yes, it is."

Lili responded with a smile, her attention focused on the shops and pedestrians on both sides.

Taverns are best located near the port, where it's easier to obtain intelligence from overseas and attract a more diverse clientele.

She wants more.

"stop!"

Two thugs with menacing grins blocked the way for the three of them, long knives tucked into their waistbands, clearly indicating they had ill intentions.

"Miss, are you from out of town?"

"This is our territory. If you want to pass through here, each person has to pay 10 Berries, understand?"

"Don't force us to kill someone!"

Robbery in public!

The surrounding crowd pointed and whispered, but didn't seem particularly afraid, as if they were already used to similar scenes.

Lilika frowned.

This heavily guarded town was more chaotic than she had imagined; she had noticed before that many of the pedestrians were carrying knives.

Seeing that Lily remained unmoved, the two thugs became enraged and drew their long swords, threatening, "Do you know who we are?!"

"Qiang!"

The blade was placed in front of the two men.

It's Zoro.

"Don't shout so loudly."

Zoro's gaze was icy.

He encountered a troublesome gang as soon as he arrived, so it seems that this town of Logue is more challenging than he expected.

Let the name of Roronoa Zoro resound throughout this town!

On the other side, the naval branch in Roggetown.

After confirming their appointment documents, Loya and his two companions were taken to the base commander's office.

Inside the desk, the executive chair slowly spun around, and a man with an afro, who looked like a gorilla and seemed very honest, stuffed a banana into his mouth.

“I am Brigadier General Murak, the highest-ranking officer of the Rogge Town branch.”

"Brigadier General Murak, Major Loya of the 153rd Branch reporting for duty!"

Loya straightened his back, his mind racing.

It seems Smoker hasn't arrived yet. Given Smoker's volatile temper, it's indeed difficult for him to stay in one place for four years.

"Loya with black hair."

Murak picked up Loya's file.

Within just six months, he had consecutively defeated two notorious pirates with bounties exceeding 1500 million Berries. Such a dazzling achievement even moved him.

However, it would be a big mistake to think that having some skills is enough to gain a foothold in Loguetown.

The water here is very deep!

Murak squinted.

"Major Loya, spend the next few days getting familiar with the branch. As for your job duties, I'll have my adjutant inform you once everything is arranged."

"understand!"

Loya nodded in understanding.

Dormitories, training area, logistics area

Led by the lieutenant, Loya and his two companions toured the branch premises.

Whether it's the size of the base or the supporting facilities such as weapons and training equipment, it's more than ten times that of the 153rd branch.

There is absolutely no comparison.

Then, Loya was alright.

After taking Loya and his two companions to their pre-assigned dormitories, the lieutenant left without a word, leaving the three of them staring at each other in bewilderment.

Aside from the assigned dormitory and office, and the meal times at the cafeteria, nothing else was explained.

They didn't even arrange where we would train on weekdays.

When asked, the response was to wait for Brigadier General Murak's instructions, giving the impression that they were just "doing whatever they wanted" until Brigadier General Murak gave his orders.

Finbdi hesitated for a moment.

"Major Loya, could it be..."

"I see."

Loya shook his head, indicating that he understood.

If I'm not mistaken, Brigadier General Murak was giving me a warning; this state of idleness will probably last for a long time.

It wasn't a big problem. He also needed time to understand the specific situation in Rogge Town. Besides, not having orders didn't mean he couldn't do things.

Another point.

Anyone who dares to trip him up is asking for death!

"Let's go out for a walk."

The three left the branch, and the marines guarding the gate seemed to have received orders and made no attempt to question them, which further convinced Loya of his judgment.

Workplace bullying!

In the evening, Loya met up with Sauron.

Money makes things easier. Lily spent a hefty four million Berries to buy a soon-to-be-bankrupt shop on a street near the port.

It has three floors and a courtyard.

They finally had a place to stay.

"Loya, this town..."

Lily briefly recounted what had happened during the day. It was unusual that a town heavily guarded by troops would have so many brazen criminals.

Loya laughed.

Looks like I'm going to be busy!
