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

Given his connection with Colonel Gorilla, he had to help with this small favor. Besides, according to his investigation, Major Loya was indeed very arrogant, and even some junior marines were extremely dissatisfied with him.

This is courting death!

Mukla beamed with joy.

"Hahaha, Lieutenant Colonel Gordon, I'm relieved to hear that. You have no idea how much I've suffered these past few days. Come on, let me toast you again!"

"drink!"

Gordon took a big gulp of wine with a satisfying gulp.

I've been in Loguetown for several days now, indulging in pleasure every day and living like a god. I could never be this comfortable at headquarters.

Such a good job, yet those officers at headquarters kept making excuses and refusing. They're a bunch of blockheads, they don't know how to enjoy themselves at all.

After three rounds of drinking.

Murak took out a briefcase, pushed it in front of Gordon, and said in a low voice, "Lieutenant Colonel Gordon, this is a small gift, nothing more."

"Hey, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Gordon picked up the briefcase, about to righteously refuse, knowing that as an inspector, the consequences of being found to have accepted bribes would be severe.

But when he felt the heavy weight of the suitcase, he swallowed all his words of refusal and was left only with joy.

He doesn't make this much money in a whole year!

As expected of the base commander of Loguetown, he's really generous.

"Hahaha, Brother Murak, I'd like to raise a glass to you!"

"Don't be so formal, drink up!"

Just as the two were enjoying themselves, the warship that had gone out docked at the port of Loguetown, and a large number of marines swarmed off.

The torrential rain poured down, but it could not stop the marines' advance.

"Move quickly!"

The marines split into three groups.

Loya led a group of marines, escorting the fish-man prisoners to the execution plaza. Two other groups of marines went to the branch office, while the other patrolled the main road, herding all the lingering residents back home.

After a while.

Loya stood atop the execution platform, gazing up at the dark sky, large raindrops pattering against his face.

"This rain"

Rain can boost the combat power of the fishmen, while weakening the navy's combat capabilities, meaning that the navy's sacrifices will increase exponentially.

The only advantage is that it keeps the residents of Loguetown at home, protecting them from the effects of the war.

It's also good for Loya, because some things shouldn't be exposed to the public eye.

Time passed bit by bit.

Inside the execution plaza, torrential rain lashed the bodies and spirits of every marine, and everyone knew that a fierce battle was about to begin.

"Major," Fombdy asked nervously. "Is the Arlong Pirates really coming?"

"Will do!"

Loya's gaze was icy.

According to his memory and the information provided by Nami, the Arlong Pirates are very united and would never stand idly by and watch their comrades die. Captain Arlong also values ​​his fellow crew members very much.

Coupled with Ah Long's arrogant personality and deep-seated hatred for humanity, even knowing it's a trap, he would step into it without hesitation.

This is a conspiracy!

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

The unusually rapid tolling of the bells continued to echo, signifying the arrival of the pirates!

The Arlong Pirates are here!

"Quickly close the doors and windows, and turn off the lights!"

Upon hearing the urgent tolling of the bells from the harbor, the residents of Rogge immediately stopped what they were doing, closed their doors and windows, and turned off their lights.

Only when pirates invade would such a warning be sounded.

Rogge Town Naval Branch.

"Clang clang clang!!!"

"Drip~~"

"Assemble! Emergency assembly!"

"Pirates are attacking!"

"By order of Brigadier General Murak, all personnel prepare for battle and proceed immediately to the execution square to meet the enemy!"

The new recruits thronged the branch, shouting out Loya's orders, and in the name of Brigadier General Murak.

The branch's navy had no idea what was happening. Upon hearing the order to assemble, they instinctively grabbed their swords and gathered downstairs in the dormitory before heading to the execution square.

With such heavy rain, guns and cannons were useless; only hand-to-hand combat remained.

Shiro wiped the rain off his face, grabbed the marine who was delivering the order, and demanded irritably, "What happened?"

"Pirates are attacking!"

Marines roared, "Pirate ships have appeared at the port! A large number of pirates have flooded into Loguetown and are converging on the execution plaza. They seem to want to destroy the execution platform. Brigadier General Murak has led his troops to meet them!"

"what?"

Xiluo looked completely bewildered.

Pirate attacks are normal; pirates cause trouble in Loguetown every now and then, but there aren't many madmen who would dare to destroy the execution platform.

That's the execution platform where Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, was killed. It has great symbolic significance, and if it's destroyed, the branch will bear an inescapable responsibility.

We absolutely cannot let the pirates succeed!

Besides, wasn't Brigadier General Murak entertaining Lieutenant Colonel Gordon?

A question flashed through Ciro's mind, but he quickly realized the key point: the place where Lieutenant Colonel Gordon was being entertained was Execution Square, the heart of Loguetown and its most bustling area.

The Brigadier General is in danger!

Shiro shouted anxiously at the assembled marines, "Quickly, head to the execution square immediately to support Commodore Murak!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Major Siro's order, the bewildered sailors were no longer confused and immediately began a forced march.

The execution square is surrounded by the most bustling shops in Rogge Town, including the entertainment club where Murak works.

Inside the luxurious private room, hearing the commotion outside, Murak impatiently pulled back the curtains.

"what?"

Murak rubbed his eyes.

Are you hallucinating?

Why do it look like there are so many marines during the heavy rain?

"Crack!"

Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the execution square in minute detail, where countless marines stood in neat rows, ready for battle.

Murak broke out in a cold sweat, his drunkenness vanishing instantly.

"what happened?"

Murak pushed aside the singer beside him and rushed to the execution square. When he saw Loya standing on the execution platform, his anger instantly overwhelmed his reason.

It was that bastard who did it again!

"Loya!"

Murak strode to the foot of the execution platform, looked up at Loya above, and roared, "What the hell are you doing, you bastard? Get down here right now!"

come yet.

Loya glanced coldly at Murak directly below, said nothing, and pointed to the main road leading to the port.

Murak turned his head and looked over, his breath catching in his throat!

In the torrential rain, a group of blue-skinned monsters emerged, the leader of which had a serrated nose and was carrying a serrated broadsword!

"Murak, come out here and face your death!"

The monster's furious roar echoed across the execution square!

Chapter 66 Deserters, Die!

Loguetown, Execution Square.

Under the dim light of night, the entire marines of the Loguetown branch braved the torrential rain and stood in bewildered formation to meet the enemy.

Even now, the vast majority of captains and marines do not know the specifics, let alone who the enemy is.
