Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue.

Chapter 21 Brothers, I'm here to save you.

"That's... Colonel Smoker? What brings Colonel Smoker here?"

"What do we do now? Has something happened?"

"Mok's pirate ship has been attacked. Whom should we help now?"

"..."

The navy personnel on the shore of Branch 16 also witnessed the scene before them, and Sergeant Udo's face fell.

This matter is almost over. All that's left is for Moke to bring the pirates over, and then they can swarm in and distribute the spoils however they want.

How could this happen at such a crucial moment?

When did Colonel Smoker arrive to provide support?

Why didn't they receive the message?

What should we do now?

Should we help Colonel Smoker or Mork?

At this time.

Just as Udo looked anxious.

"Don't worry." Robin, who was still drinking her tea, looked up. Unlike the other marines, she didn't seem anxious. With a calm smile, she said, "Mok is fine, and the pirates on the ship have been poisoned."

She had just used her ability to check the situation on Moke's ship. After seeing that Moke realized that greeting Smoker was useless and ran away, Robin was no longer in a hurry.

The only thing to be careful about now is preventing Smoker's naval forces from actually arresting Moke.

not to mention……

Robin gently blew on the still-steaming black tea, took a sip, and said with a smile, "The BOSS has arrived."

"BOSS?"

Upon hearing Robin's words, Udo was momentarily stunned, but he quickly realized who the BOSS Robin was referring to was.

Unlike the others who call him "boss" and "colonel," only Miss Robin in the 16th branch consistently calls Colonel Shacher "BOSS."

Immediately, Udo's face lit up with excitement. He turned and glanced around, then asked anxiously, "Where's the colonel?"

"They've already made their move!"

As Robin finished speaking, the marines seemed to understand something, and they all looked up in the direction of Captain Smoker.

Sure enough, a figure appeared on Colonel Smoker's warship.

……

The sudden naval pursuit silenced Mokegan.

Aren't they the ones in cahoots?

Why did this smoker start firing at him?

The pirates on the ship who had initially questioned whether the East Blue Overlord was cooperating with the Navy were also stunned at this moment.

Cooperation?

This doesn't seem like it!

The other side is clearly firing real artillery!

But why did they suddenly get poisoned?

The distressed pirates looked puzzled, but feeling the violent shaking of the ship, they knew that now was not the time to think about such things.

Why did Captain Moke, who was originally running away, suddenly stop?

"Run! Captain Moke!" a pirate suddenly shouted, "The Navy is on their way!"

"We've been poisoned. This might be a Navy plot. There's no need to continue."

"That's right, Captain Moke, we may have fallen into the Navy's trap."

All the pirates shouted at each other, "Mok, run!"

Looking at Captain Moke, who stood on the edge of the ship with his arms crossed, staring straight at the pursuing navy and remaining calm in the face of the navy's cannon fire, even though he admired him, he also felt ashamed for questioning the overlord of the East China Sea earlier. But now was not the time to do such things.

They're just here for the fun of it, not to actually commit suicide!

If you don't run now, when will you?

Does the East China Sea hegemon have absolute confidence in resolving the navy's conspiracy?

They looked up again at the figure draped in a golden cloak, and sure enough... the pirates immediately saw a smile on the faces of those on the Moke ship.

My initial anxiety seemed to have subsided.

That was a confident and composed smile.

That's right, he's the overlord of the East China Sea, how could he be captured so easily?!

But little did they know...

At that moment, Moke raised his hands, staring at the figure that had suddenly appeared on Smoker's ship, and a happy smile immediately appeared on his face. "The boss is here!"

The words were spoken.

"Boss?"

Does the overlord of the East China Sea still have a leader?

The pirates, who were about to continue their persuasion, were suddenly stunned again. They all looked up in the direction of the naval warship and saw a figure that had suddenly appeared on the opposite warship, seemingly blocking the commander of the opposite warship.

only……

"Again...the Navy?"

……

"Welcome back, Smoker."

"Dand Shacher." Smoker frowned as he saw Shacher suddenly appear and stop him, especially when he saw Colonel Shacher interrupt his abilities with just a knife, his expression became even more serious.

Upon seeing the Marines deployed ashore by the 16th Marine Division, and Moke, a pirate who greeted him with a ship full of pirates, Smoker probably realized that his guess might be wrong.

As for why they still took action?

It's definitely not because that despicable guy called him Smoker, but because as a Marine, isn't it normal to encounter pirates and get attacked?

Smoker gestured for his men to stop, then removed the cigar from his lips. He glanced expressionlessly at the knife in Shattrath's hand, finally fixing his gaze on the smiling Shattrath before speaking with a seemingly meaningful tone, "Colonel Shattrath, you've really outmaneuvered the entire Marine Headquarters!"

Is that Armament Haki?

No wonder he graduated after only two and a half years of training, a kendo genius even praised by Teacher Zephyr!

Thinking of this, Smoker cursed the Navy who recorded Shacher's file once again in his mind.

What do you mean by falling into depravity upon arriving in the East China Sea? What do you mean by having no achievements for many years and making no progress in strength?!

If this guy doesn't make any progress, then what is he?

No progress at all?

He glanced at the approaching Moke Pirate Ship and said coldly, "Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

only.

"I am very grateful for Colonel Smoker's support." Faced with Smoker's questioning, Xia Che simply laughed it off and changed the subject, saying righteously, "If it weren't for Colonel Smoker's help, the 16th Marine Division would have suffered heavy losses and countless casualties under the attack of the East Blue overlord, the Moko Pirates."

Before Smoker could even raise an eyebrow or say anything, Shach, still looking serious, pulled Colonel Smoker aside and said, "Come on, let's go ashore and continue discussing how to fight the vicious Mork."

The words were spoken.

At that moment, a rough voice came from behind.

"Boss, what are we supposed to do now?" There was a hint of resentment in his voice. "Colonel Yan suddenly joined in without telling me. I almost didn't know how to continue the act."

"..." x2

now.

Smoker silently glanced at the equally silent pirates who had already boarded the warship, then looked expressionlessly at Shache in front of him.

Does this guy really think he's an idiot?

……

Not long after.

With the assistance of the 16th Marine Division, Shacher, along with a grim-faced Smoker and the rest of the pirates, also landed ashore.

Although there were some unexpected events tonight, in some ways... the result was still a success.

As for Colonel Smoker, because of his agreement with Garp, he will be fine for the time being as long as he doesn't do anything wrong.

After having the weak-looking pirates, who were cursing Moke for lacking pirate ethics and actually joining the Navy, taken away, Shache turned to Udo and said, "Arrange for the Navy to keep a close eye on the pirates, so that nothing unexpected happens."

We'll discuss how to handle this tomorrow.

As for the Krieg Pirates, he has already dealt with them. Now, all that remains is... the pirates who are not very famous and not worth much money, and are temporarily being used by Kuina for training.

"Robin, you help out too. Keep an eye on things from the sidelines, just in case anything goes wrong."

"No problem, Boss~"

After receiving a response from Robin, Shacher turned his head.

Seeing Moke heartbrokenly touching his wrecked pirate ship, Shache pondered for a moment, "No need to touch it anymore, Moke. I've prepared a new ship for you. This ship has been around for so long, it's time to replace it. You'll have to take care of it next."

The words were spoken.

Moke, who had been looking heartbroken over the ship, suddenly broke into a grin and hurried over. "Boss, what kind of ship is it? Is it big? Is it pretty?"

"What do you think of Krieg Pirates' captain's private pirate ship? Is it big or not?"

"That huge sailing ship with three decks? Boss, you're giving it to me?" Upon hearing Boss Shacher's words, Moke's face immediately lit up with excitement. Then, remembering that his boss had a mission, he immediately stood up straight and said, "Please give your orders, Boss. What are the arrangements next? Are we going to trick another pirate ship? Or do we need to memorize some difficult lines? Moke will definitely complete them."

"Don't be so nervous, it's just a little wrap-up."

After saying something to Moke, Shacher turned to Colonel Smoker with a smile, "Since you're here!"

"What do you want to do?"

Although he promised Vice Admiral Garp that he would keep the matter of this place a secret for the time being, Smoker would never cooperate with pirates.

Just as Smoker, looking impatient, was about to say that he was too busy and wouldn't help at all,

At this time.

Shache patted him on the shoulder and continued righteously, "The pirates are powerful. Next, we hope that Captain Smoker can assist the 16th Marine Division in arresting the pirates who committed this crime."

……

Not long after.

the other side.

The pirates, who were arranged to land in a slightly more remote area, were immediately surrounded after they landed.

They were surrounded by countless naval forces.

And that female naval officer in charge... is actually that strong?!

No one could stop her; wielding a knife, she felled countless pirates wherever she went.

Looking at the densely packed navy forces before them, and the terrifying female swordswoman at their leader, a desperate thought immediately arose in the minds of the pirates: "Have they... fallen into a trap?"

What about the Moke Pirate Ship and the Krieg Pirate Ship?

Just when everyone was panicked and in despair.

Sudden.

"The Mok Pirate Ship, that's the Mok Pirate Ship."

At someone's shout, the desperate pirates all turned to look out to sea.

Instantly.

A dilapidated pirate ship, pursued by naval warships, came into view amidst gunfire.

On the pirate ship, a figure stood with arms crossed on the gunwale, his golden cloak bathed in the bright moonlight.

Even amidst the gunfire, he maintained a calm smile and fearlessly approached them.

That was none other than Captain Moke, the overlord of the East China Sea.

Just as the pirates were shocked and delighted.

All I saw was...

Captain Moke let out his distinctive laugh and roared, "Hahaha, brothers, I've come to save you!"

This moment.

All the pirates cheered.

But they didn't notice what was behind them...

On the naval warship, a similar figure, with a livid face, was smoking a cigar and seemed to be making some kind of noise.

It sounds incredibly awful!
