Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue.

Chapter 22 introduces doctors

1517 in the Haiyuan calendar.

The new overlord of the East Blue issued a pirate call to the East Blue, intending to massacre the 16th Marine Division and provoke the Marine Headquarters. Countless great pirates from the East Blue responded to the overlord's call and flocked to participate in this grand East Blue event.

Despite the valiant resistance of the massive pirate force, the 16th Marine Division was overwhelmed and its defenses were breached by the pirates, who stormed the Marine Division.

The losses were devastating; the base was destroyed, and countless people were killed or wounded.

In an instant, countless ruins and broken walls were left!

Countless marines cried out in despair, filled with fear, but as marines, they still remembered their mission and, even in the face of such terror, did not compromise or surrender to the pirates.

however.

Although the navy was not afraid, the combined strength of the 16 branches of the navy was simply insufficient to withstand the attack of the former East Blue Overlord and the terrifying pirates led by the new East Blue Overlord.

Fortunately, Colonel Smoker from the Loguetown branch provided timely assistance...

"That's right, write it like that." Xia Che looked at the notes in Udo's hand, who was recording the battle, nodded in satisfaction, and said solemnly, "Focus on describing the helplessness of the 16th Branch and their despair in the face of the terrible pirate attack. Also, highlight the losses of the Marine Branch. Take this opportunity to ask the Marine Headquarters for more funds to rebuild the branch."

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and ignoring Udo, who was looking around at the intact naval branch and wanted to say something, he spoke seriously again.

"We must emphasize the importance of the Loguetown branch even more. It was under the leadership of Captain Smoker that the 16th Marine Division successfully withstood the pirate attack and turned the tide."

The words were spoken.

Before he could even look behind him, Udo, who seemed about to say something but hesitated, could say anything.

At this time.

"Colonel Dand Shacher!"

A cold, menacing voice came from behind.

Shacher quickly turned around and saw Colonel Smoker, who had somehow appeared behind him, staring at him with wide eyes as if he had never seen such a shameless person before.

Shacher chuckled and quickly said, "Haha, Colonel Smoker is back?"

As he spoke, ignoring Colonel Smoker's sour face, he immediately put on a serious expression.

"Thank you for the support from the Rogge Town branch!"

Instantly.

"..."

Hearing Colonel Shacher say such things even to his face, Colonel Smoker, feeling humiliated, raised an eyebrow and was about to say something with a dark face when...

"Kuina, you're back too? How did it go?" Xia Che changed the subject immediately, glancing at Kuina who was looking at him with a resentful expression, and said cheerfully, "All done? Are you hungry? Want to rest for a bit?"

"Senior Brother Xia Che, didn't you say there was a powerful expert?" Despite her senior brother's concern, Kuina puffed out her cheeks and glared at Xia Che resentfully, saying, "And I was so looking forward to it! Senior Brother, you're a liar, a big liar!"

"..."

I almost forgot.

He deliberately lied to Kuina, telling her that there were very powerful swordsmen there, so that she would lead the team to train.

Xia Che raised an eyelid, chuckled again, and prepared to praise Kuina for her improved swordsmanship, which was why she felt the pirates were weak.

And then suddenly.

"You bastard!!!"

Another angry voice rang out.

"They just left me there and ran off!"

Just as Xia Che turned around again, a figure rushed over, hands on hips, glaring at him angrily.

"If Tashigi hadn't been there, I would have thought I'd been captured by pirates! It scared me to death, damn it~"

Nami, who had awakened at some unknown time, has also returned.

After complaining to Shache a few times, she turned to look at Kuina with surprise, her face showing some astonishment. "Huh, Tashigi, you're already here?"

The voice just fell.

Before Kuina could say anything...

"Miss Nami, please slow down, I'm here." Tashigi's helpless voice came from behind Nami. "Colonel Shattrath didn't leave you there on purpose. He just had something very important to do, so he entrusted you to me and specifically told me to take good care of you."

As she spoke, she walked over to Nami, whose cheeks were slightly flushed and she seemed a little embarrassed by her words and her earlier fierce complaints. She spoke with a curious tone.

"You still haven't explained to me who Kuina is!"

"Kuina~" Hearing Tashigi's words, Nami gestured to the side and said, "It's right here, see for yourself! So," she added, her tone slightly incredulous, "I just think it looks a lot like her!"

"Here?" Tashigi, who had stopped, turned her head and looked in the direction Nami was pointing. When she saw Shattrath, she immediately stood at attention and gave a naval salute. "Captain Shattrath."

Immediately after speaking, he seemed to notice something, stared wide-eyed at a figure beside Xia Che, blinked, and spoke in an incredulous tone.

"Am I looking in a mirror? No, I'm wearing glasses!"

On the other side...

Kuina also noticed Tashigi. Although she had always heard others say that Tashigi looked a lot like her, she was surprised when she actually saw her.

I never expected them to look so alike.

The two stared at each other, one with a single ponytail and the other with short, loose hair, both with disbelief in their eyes.

The people around them also looked at the two of them with surprise, and some even imagined a series of family dramas in their minds.

so similar!

Even Smoker, who was standing next to him, frowned when he saw this.

Actually, he had just mistaken Kuina for his deputy and even asked her why she was there.

however.

But I didn't expect...

You really did mistake me for someone else?!

There really is someone who looks that much like them!

"Kuina!"

"Tashigi!"

At this moment, Kuina and Tashigi, who had been in shock, also came to their senses and introduced themselves to each other, but still looked at each other with disbelief.

They look so alike!

Even Kuina and Tashigi had their own doubts, wondering if their father was hiding something from them.

And this time.

Seeing that everyone had returned, including Moke, Xia Che glanced at the assembled crowd and a smile appeared on his face.

He seemed to notice Colonel Smoker standing beside him, who seemed to want to say something; Nami, who was looking at him with her hands on her hips; and Kuina and Tashigi, who were holding their own knives, looking curious and moving in unison, as if they wanted to ask him something.

Slightly annoyed, Xia Che quickly said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow! Now..."

With a smile on his face, he quickly waved his hand.

"The banquet begins!"

How could there be no banquets and parties on this vast ocean?

As Xia Che finished speaking, the Navy personnel, who had been tense, broke into happy smiles.

"Fantastic! There's even a banquet!"

"So many pirates, that really scared me!"

"I heard that there will be premium orange wine from Cocosia Village tonight, and I can't wait."

"This is incredible, we actually captured so many pirates."

Hearing the cheers and seeing the happy crowd, even the resentful Nami and Kuina, and the frustrated Smoker who had been tricked, smiled.

So be it.

Let's enjoy the banquet first!

At this point...

Fishing plan in the East China Sea!

Completed!

……

the other side.

The Konom Islands, which also reaped a bountiful harvest, hosted an island-wide banquet under Sachet's arrangement.

The villagers, enjoying their shelter and peaceful lives, cheered and expressed their gratitude to Shache and the 16th Marine Division.

The entire island was filled with laughter and joy, immersed in the feast.

however.

at the same time.

In the town of Cocoyasi.

In a room at the former Evil Dragon Park, now the Red Romantic Private Club.

"It's so lively!"

A lazy voice rang out.

Then a soft, sweet voice followed.

"Today is a big day, sir! To celebrate the complete annihilation of the pirates, Colonel Shacher has specially hosted an island-wide banquet. You are welcome to join us later, sir."

"I'm technician number 38—Xiao Hong, ready to serve you!" Xiao Hong, who introduced herself as technician number 38, said sweetly. "Can we begin your special sea bath scrub?"

"Okay, let's begin!"

As the languid voice faded, a pair of feet were placed in the specially made wooden tub. Then, the languid voice seemed to become even more languid, and even the body seemed to soften.

only.

At this time.

"Is this force appropriate, sir?"

"Can!"

"Huh, why is the water so cold? And why is your body so weak? What's wrong?"

"Perhaps my body is a little weak!"

"Does this...need we replace the hot water?"

"No need, this is fine, it's really comfortable."

"Our Red Romance technique was specifically consulted with the former ship's doctor from One Piece. It's based on the theories of internal organs and meridians, combined with anatomical and pathological diagnosis. The techniques are applied to specific parts of the body's surface to regulate the body's physiological and pathological conditions, achieving therapeutic goals! It's sure to be very comfortable~"

"The doctor from One Piece?" Hearing Xiao Hong's introduction, even the customer who always wore a green eye patch and was enjoying the treatment with his eyes closed exclaimed in approval, "That's amazing!"

"Of course, this is a technique our boss specially found!" Xiao Hong, pleased with the recognition, beamed with pride. Then, touching her slightly tingling feet and looking at the customer who was enjoying the treatment with his eyes closed, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "This customer, you seem quite weak! You're frail, sensitive to cold, and your limbs are cold… You seem to have severe kidney deficiency. Would you like me to introduce you to a doctor?"

"...No, that's alright."
