Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

New Marine Fendo is filled with people celebrating their victory.

At that moment, both the navy and ordinary citizens felt a heartfelt excitement.

The New World achieved a great victory, and Charlotte Linlin, known as BIG MOM, was killed by the Navy on Whole Cake Island.

Although the details of the battle were not disclosed to the public.

However, among those who have publicly claimed to be strong, there are already three general-level fighters.

Chief Instructor of the Navy, Black Arm Zephyr, Admiral Fujitora Issho, and Monkey D. Garp.

Although Garp has been stripped of his title as a Marine hero by Raleigh, he has not been stripped of his Marine identity.

The uninformed public continued to call Garp a naval hero.

After wiping out the main force of the Charlotte family, the three combatants returned to New Marineford with their corpses, awaiting the grand ceremony prepared for them by Raleigh.

Meanwhile, good news also came from all over the world.

With the cooperation of Aramaki and Enel, a large number of Revolutionary Army factories were completely occupied, and some extremely secretive production centers and resource centers were also taken over by the Navy.

Admiral Sakazuki has led his naval forces to conquer cities and territories across the four seas, and taking over the entire seas is just around the corner.

In this atmosphere, the naval soldiers and their families in New Marineford voluntarily began to organize a grand gathering to welcome the brave soldiers who had fought so valiantly.

Raleigh unusually granted all the soldiers of New Marineford a three-day rotating leave and dispatched a large number of warships to escort supplies to the front lines where the fighting was taking place.

Even the New World Front, guarded by Borsalino and Barrett, was configured in this way.

Raleigh knew that prolonged combat would put soldiers under extreme stress, and he didn't want them to become radicalized.

Furthermore, achieving such a glorious victory and holding a live broadcast would better demonstrate to the world that the navy is the righteous choice.

"We've won!"

"Long live the Navy! Long live justice!"

The new Marin Vando was filled with young people shouting slogans, some of them flushed with excitement, others drinking rum to liven up the event.

The streets were filled with children running around.

Now their aspirations have changed; the people they most want to become are now valiant naval soldiers.

Many people even regard Raleigh or other admirals as their life goals, vowing to become admiral-level powerhouses after joining the Navy when they grow up.

Raleigh was not in the Master's office.

He took off his naval admiral's uniform, put on a well-fitting suit, and walked with Gion on the streets of New Marineford.

Passersby who see Raleigh and Gion will politely bow to them.

Raleigh and the garden responded enthusiastically to pedestrians.

Of course, the pedestrians also knew that Raleigh and Gion rarely had such a holiday, so they tacitly avoided approaching the two of them.

Gion linked arms with Raleigh, thoroughly enjoying their time together.

Since the two got married, Raleigh has rarely returned home to rest, spending most of his time in the Master's office.

Gion also has a lot to do, and sometimes she lives in the dormitory in the office building.

As naval personnel, in this special era, the heavy responsibilities they bear leave them no time to indulge in personal feelings.

Therefore, they cherish this life of being able to be together, without thinking about or doing anything, even more than ordinary people.

Raleigh affectionately nuzzled Gion's forehead, a smile playing on his lips.

"Gion, it seems like we haven't had a seafood feast in a long time. Why don't we take this opportunity to have one?"

Gion felt the warmth emanating from Raleigh, and her face turned bright red.

"it is good."

However, as the two walked along...

I inexplicably ran into a lot of acquaintances.

For example, there's Jiaji, and then there's the rat, plus Cleveland and others who are preparing to eat hot pot alone.

Seeing this, Raleigh also spoke up directly:

"Hey, you single guys, want to grab a bite with me and your sister-in-law Gion? It's on me."

Feeling insulted, Rat and Cleveland turned to leave, but after taking only two steps, they remembered that Raleigh was a wealthy man.

It's better to go with him than to just eat whatever's available on my own.

Having figured it out, the two turned back, looking unwilling, and said:

"Rayle, since you've put it that way, we'll have to make you spend some money today."

The two of them made up their minds to go to a fancy restaurant later, not to eat the good food, but only the expensive stuff.

No matter what kind of food it is, we must have a big meal and make that guy Raleigh vomit blood.

In front of outsiders, Gion is no longer the little woman clinging to Raleigh, but an independent and strong woman.

She spoke boldly:

"It's alright, Raleigh's paying today, everyone can eat whatever they want!"

Sensing the provocation from Raleigh and Gion, Rat and Cleveland immediately pulled out their Den Den Mushi and began calling their friends.

Of course, they also knew that Raleigh's temper was both good and bad, so they didn't call too many people.

Raleigh thought for a moment, then spoke again:

"Let's invite a few more people, so we can all have a drink together."

"Everyone has worked so hard for so long, why not take this rare opportunity to have a drink and relax? We still have other challenges to face."

Mouse and Cleveland readily agreed, and Gaji nodded in agreement as well.

He had given up on Gion after he married her in Raleigh.

However, Gion was, after all, his beloved, and the two had been friends for many years, so it was natural for them to go to a gathering.

Moreover, Kaji had figured it out: upscale restaurants have many young and beautiful women, which is creating opportunities for him.

Bazel Seafood Restaurant.

This shop was specially relocated from Marineford and has always been known for its expertise in preparing high-end seafood.

The chef, Mr. Bazel, has been cooking seafood for over fifty years and has reached the pinnacle of seafood preparation.

Sometimes Raleigh would think that if it were peacetime, someone like Mr. Bazel could win a culinary competition and be revered as a god of food.

Cleveland led the way, with Raleigh and Gion in the middle, and Rat and Kake on either side.

Behind them followed a large group of young naval officers. Some of them came from the office building, while others were woken up from their rest at home and came after a quick wash.

Such a group of people traveling together naturally attracted the attention of the waiters at the Bazel Seafood Restaurant.

When he noticed the person in the middle, his eyes lit up, and he quickly went forward to open the door and told his companion:

"Marshal Raleigh is here! Go and inform old man Bazel immediately."

This is a rule in their shop: when Raleigh comes, it must be Mr. Bazel who cooks for him personally.

The reason is quite simple: Mr. Bazel was a naval officer in his youth, and he opened the restaurant after being wounded and retiring during ten years of heroic service.

His son also joined the navy, but died in an operation at the hands of Bundy Wald.

At the time, old man Bazel wanted nothing more than to go out to sea and kill this devil, but his family stopped him.

However, the desire for revenge never faded from old man Bazel's heart.

Later, it was Raleigh who personally killed this heinous pirate.

Therefore, Mr. Bazel regarded Raleigh as his benefactor.

Moreover, Raleigh's personality was very friendly to others, and before long, he became a close friend of Mr. Bazel, despite their age difference.

Old Master Bazel made a rule that whenever Raleigh came, he would be the one to cook.

"Rayle, it's been a while since you've come. You must be really busy lately."

Old Master Bazel came out of the kitchen and asked kindly.

He was a retired navy officer, and most of his contacts were also former navy officers, so they were often aware of the navy's recent operations.

"It's alright, old man. I'm still young, I can handle it."

Raleigh had one arm around Gion and the other hand showing off his muscles.

Grandpa Bazel smiled with satisfaction. He loved Raleigh's energetic demeanor the most, and it seemed that associating with Raleigh made him forget the fact that he was already old.

"Alright, seeing that so many of you have come, you can go up to the restaurant on the second floor."

1

"Today, I'm bringing my apprentices to cook you a delicious seafood feast."

"Old Master Bazel said in a grand manner, which made the young generals following behind Raleigh cheer loudly."

They weren't exactly wealthy; they all saved up their money to buy various famous swords or equipment.

For seafood restaurants like this, it's fine to try it once or twice, but if you want to really enjoy it, your wallet is likely to be in trouble.

"Long live Lord Raleigh!"

"I'm going to eat tons and tons of seafood fried rice today!"

"Look at you, so pathetic! You can get full just by eating crabs. Change your habit of eating staple foods!"

Hearing the chattering behind him, Raleigh's forehead creased with exasperation.

"You bunch of bastards, the food in our navy is pretty good! Besides, I've never embezzled any of your allowances, so why are you all so spineless?"

After being scolded by Raleigh, the group of young generals were not embarrassed at all; on the contrary, they straightened their backs with righteous indignation.

The implication is that since they've already been scolded, they might as well have a good meal.

Amidst the laughter and chatter, the group went up to the second floor, sat down, and began to wait for Old Master Bazel to feed them.

While waiting, Raleigh suddenly heard a commotion coming from downstairs.

An extremely arrogant voice rang out from downstairs:

"It's an honor for a lowly person like you to cook for me, and now you're refusing me. It seems you want to die."

Raleigh frowned, and Rat and Cleveland exchanged a glance before calmly pushing open the door and making an excuse to go to the bathroom.

boom!

Shortly after Rat and Cleveland went down, a gunshot rang out without warning, casting a shadow over Raleigh's face.

The naval officers who had been joking around just moments before suddenly realized what was happening.

They all pulled out their weapons and equipment and rushed downstairs as fast as they could.

Raleigh's face darkened. He didn't even need to go downstairs to know there was some stupid Celestial Dragon down there.

You can tell from the random shooting and the arrogant tone.

"Don't move!"

"You lowly commoners, what do you want to do to me! Let me go! I am a noble Celestial Dragon!"

As things gradually quieted down below.

Raleigh got up from his seat, and Gion followed him downstairs.

At this moment, the area downstairs was a complete mess.

Almost every naval officer controls the Celestial Dragons' guards, those CP organization members.

In the middle are three Celestial Dragons.

Raleigh recognized them at a glance; they were the Roswald family.

In the original story, the Roswald family is the epitome of evil, because their slaves escaped and went to the Sabaody Archipelago.

However, unlike in the original work, the Sabaody Archipelago is now under the control of the Navy, and those so-called auction houses no longer exist. Even the slave traders who hunted slaves for the Celestial Dragons and the mafia families have disappeared under the Navy's crackdown.

Perhaps feeling bored in the holy land, and having just heard that there was a famous seafood restaurant in New Marinfando, they came here.

The Roswald family disobeyed the Five Elders' orders, believing that the Navy was still the same Navy that served the Celestial Dragons, so they didn't take it seriously.

However, they've run into a tough opponent.

Raleigh glanced around casually and said:

"Rat, go and evacuate all the people outside. It's not convenient for them to know what's going to happen next."

The mouse nodded, then darted away.

Charlos, who had just fired the shot, leered at Gion beside Raleigh, looking like a lecherous man.

"You're so beautiful, I want you to be my fourteenth wife."

The navy personnel present all gasped in shock.

Do they really not understand what this fat pig in front of them is thinking? Is he thinking about dying?

Naval commanders raised on the new naval ideology have no fear or awe of anything in the world except Raleigh.

Because Raleigh is not only stronger than them, but also more cunning and ruthless.

In their eyes, even if you are a so-called Celestial Dragon, you can only wait to die if you encounter Raleigh's abomination.

Saint Charlos's father, Saint Rozwald, wasn't that foolish. He merely glanced at Saint Charlos before speaking:

"Marshal Raleigh, Charles is just young and ignorant, that's why he said such things. He has no feelings for your wife."

"We only came here to have a good meal, but we had a little argument, it was all a misunderstanding."

Charles Saint wanted to say something more, but was pulled back by his sister, Charllia Palace, and had to shut his mouth.

Raleigh, a half-smile playing on his lips, glanced at Saint Rozward, then turned to old man Bazel behind him and asked:

"Grandpa, are you alright?"

During the earlier altercation, Bazel was pinned to the ground by the Rozward family's guards and sustained some minor injuries. He is currently receiving treatment with the help of a shop assistant.

"It's alright, Raleigh, I'm perfectly fine."

Hearing Bazel's strong voice, Raleigh finally felt relieved and turned around to say:

"Kill all the guards and hang their bodies on the city wall."

"As for you gentlemen, who fired the shot just now? Which hand fired it?"

Raleigh's words were like the whispers of a demon, causing the Roswald family's faces to change drastically. They exclaimed in shock and anger:

"We are Celestial Dragons!"
