Chapter 97 Scaring

You want to report him for something as trivial as playing around with female pirates?

ridiculous!

So what if I get reported?

Compared to the others, these are no big deal!

It's just that Xia Che feels a little regretful...

It's really not that easy to do business in this world!

The two sides are cooperating quite well; wouldn't it be better to get rich together?

Why do these guys always want to eat alone?

Speaking of which, Morgan used to be a righteous navy man. The reason he has changed so much is because of Kuro and Django. But why think about these things now?

Even if Monka recovers, so what?

Would that passionate young man join him in his evil deeds?

If we don't go along with his corrupt ways... he probably won't be able to stay in Donghai any longer. It's better to let him sit there for a few years and maybe he'll recover when he comes out.

Therefore, what happens to Monca is no longer relevant to him.

After hearing that the head of the second most corrupt naval base in the East China Sea had been arrested, Xia Che stopped paying attention to it.

As for Mihawk... after deliberately staying for two extra days, he finally decided to leave after realizing there was no excitement to be had.

Xia Che also expressed his regret about this.

If I had known this would happen, I would have delayed it for a few more days, let this guy stay a few more days, so I could have taught him for a few more days.

at this time.

pier……

Seeing Xia Che's regretful expression at his departure, Mihawk couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

Perhaps this guy is also reluctant to part with his opponent!

That's true. Although this guy is a degenerate scoundrel, he is still a powerful swordsman, and finding a suitable opponent is not so easy.

only.

Just as Mihawk was about to say goodbye next time, or goodbye on the Grand Line, and that they would spar again then...

"Maybe we should change boats!" Shacher sighed, looking at Mihawk who was already standing on the dock, then pointing to his small boat, and said, "Next time, don't use your sword to row in the calm zone. If someone sees you, it could easily lead to someone's death!"

As she spoke, her tone became increasingly seductive.

"I know there's a shipyard in the East China Sea that's about to open and can produce all kinds of boats, including this small sailboat that would suit you."

"Especially one of them, when I saw it, I felt it was perfect for you, like it was designed specifically for a lone swordsman like you. Don't be fooled by its small size, it's small but powerful, small but exquisite!"

Not only does it feature a wraparound cockpit that gives you a sense of being surrounded, making operation more convenient and safer, but it also gives you the feeling of being embraced by the ocean, ensuring excellent driving stability and comfort.

It features piano lacquer laser-engraved panels, streamlined chrome trim, and flowing lines, exuding a grand and powerful aura, like a surging sword, bringing you a pleasing visual experience.

Equipped with a hybrid power system and built-in specially designed power wheels, it allows you to paddle by hand if you want, or easily free your hands and sail freely if you don't want to use your hands.

Order now and not only will we immediately design a custom exterior for you, but we'll also give you a free genuine leather sofa, a marine inverter mini-fridge, and even a free upgrade to a fully automatic navigation system in the future, truly freeing your hands and allowing you to travel the world with ease!

Xia Che shook his head with a sigh, "I'm tempted myself. If it weren't for the fact that I have too many people at home and that boat isn't suitable, I would have placed a deposit and ordered one right away. What do you think? Want one? It'll let you shed the label of 'rowing man' and become a true sea warrior!"

The words were spoken.

Mihawk: ...

He remained silent.

I thought this guy was reluctant to part with his opponent.

The result now seems...

This guy not only wants me to be his instructor for free, but he's also ready to empty his own wallet!

He guessed that the shipyard in the East China Sea, which was about to open, was the property of this degenerate colonel!

and also……

Who do you think called the rowing man?

"No need!" Mihawk refused without hesitation, stating that his small sailboat, the [Coffin Boat], was still running and there was no need to change boats.

then.

Sensing the wind had shifted, and seeing Xia Che's regretful expression, as if he wanted to say something, he didn't hesitate at all. He untied the rope, jumped onto his small boat, and said calmly, "Goodbye, Grand Line!"

Without looking back, he slowly sailed his small boat away from the dock.

Seeing this, Xia Che shook his head regretfully again and sighed, "Why is this guy running so fast? If I order again next time, not only will there be no discount, but he won't even deliver anything!"

only.

Mihawk had already run far away and probably couldn't hear him anymore, missing out on such a huge discount.

Xia Che didn't care. He thought that the guy had lost out. He grumbled to himself and then turned around to go to Guina's place.

Under Mihawk's tutelage, Kuina has been in seclusion for the past few days, and he plans to go and see how her seclusion is going.

At this time.

"Puru puru~"

A Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) rang.

Xia Che took out his Den Den Mushi and answered the call. He knew who it was when he saw the Den Den Mushi, which had turned into a silver-haired creature with a cigar in its mouth.

Before he could even speak.

Smoker's Den Den Mushi coldly announced first, "Captain Morgan of the 153rd Naval Division and all his associated marines have been arrested!"

"What? Old Meng got arrested? When did that happen? How come I didn't know?"

"Stop pretending, kid!" Smoker's Den Den Mushi said with a dark expression, seemingly having witnessed Shache's exaggerated behavior firsthand. "Ever since I caught him, he's been cursing you!"

Of course, he was also cursed.

"Don't think I can't guess who reported it? Well, this guy has his reasons. Over the years, he's done a lot of illegal things while holding the position of base commander, causing trouble in Shells Town."

"I've heard of Colonel Morgan back then, a passionate marine filled with a sense of justice!" Shache sighed, shaking his head, as if he hadn't heard Smoker's words. "I never imagined that after Colonel Rat, another naval captain from the East Blue would be caught. Perhaps it was a report from an oppressed righteous person! The East Blue's officialdom is too corrupt; they actually hid such a big corrupt official. They need to deal with this properly!"

"..."

You're the most ruthless and greedy guy ever!

How dare you say that?

Hearing Shacher's utterly shameless words, Smoker was speechless. However, he hadn't called to report him for corruption. He took a deep breath and said with a slightly gloating tone, "This guy keeps saying he'll report you! You'd better watch yourself."

"Report me? Report me to whom?"

Just as Xia Che was looking puzzled.

Another voice seemed to come from the other side, but it wasn't Smoker's; it sounded like Tashigi's.

"Captain Smoker, we received a call from Naval Headquarters saying that Captain Morgan is currently under our custody, and Vice Admiral Garp will personally escort him back to headquarters in a few days!"

Instantly.

Smoker Den Den Mushi: ...

He remained silent.

Then she raised her head again, looked at Xia Che expressionlessly, and said calmly, "It's nothing."

then.

"Beep beep beep~"

The Den Den Mushi was immediately disconnected.

Natsume put away the Den Den Mushi, sighed, and shook his head. "That's really dark!"

……

And this moment.

the other side.

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Smoker fell silent again, then sighed wistfully and walked into the makeshift prison in the ship's cabin with a complicated expression.

Looking at Colonel Morgan, who was sitting cross-legged with his arms crossed, he hesitated for a moment and said calmly, "When I was demoted to the East Blue, I heard about you. You are a passionate and righteous naval officer."

He flicked the ash off his cigar.

"Don't even think about reporting it. Based on your crimes, they're actually not as serious as that rat colonel's. At most, you'll only get a few years in prison."

however.

"Dream on!" Looking at Colonel Smoker, who had spoken to him without provocation, Colonel Morgan showed some surprise, but still sneered, "Are you scared? If I'm not clean, how can you be? I've heard of you too, the Navy Headquarters' genius colonel, upright and incorruptible, acting independently, unruly, righteous, and never bowing to anyone. But look what you've got! You're still a piece of trash! Bah!"

He vomited violently on the deck.

"I might be locked up for a few years, but I'll absolutely not let you off the hook, especially that kid... Did he think he could get away with it just because you're protecting him? Does he really think I don't know the Navy Hero is in the East Blue? I bet the Navy Headquarters will send the Navy Hero to escort me back to Navy Headquarters soon, right?"

He stared at Smoker with his eyes wide open.

"Don't even think about ruling the East China Sea like this. Since that kid wants to fight to the death, then let him fight to the death!" With a ferocious grin, he added, "I refuse to believe that a naval hero can be bought off by you!"

"..."

Smoker's hand, holding a cigar, trembled slightly. His eyes held a complex mix of emotions as he looked at Colonel Morgan before him. Finally, he sighed, turned away, and said indifferently, "Whatever!"

Without saying anything more, he turned and left.

Only left.

Colonel Morgan, a cold smile on his face, watched Smoker's retreating figure, and curled his lip in disdain. "Trying to scare me? Ridiculous. Let's see what you do when the naval hero arrives!"

A vice admiral of the headquarters, a naval hero... he can't possibly be in cahoots with these two!

……

at the same time.

The Kingdom of Goa.

Here in Windmill Town.

"Hey, Sengoku! What's up? My vacation isn't over yet, don't expect me to do any work!"

"You... Don't worry, this isn't about doing any work. A few days ago, we received a report that a naval officer in the East Blue is embezzling and accepting bribes, colluding with pirates, and plundering merchant ships, seriously violating Navy Headquarters laws. We hope you..."

Before the Sengoku Den Den Mushi could finish speaking...

Garp, who was picking his nose, suddenly looked surprised, slapped his thigh, and said with a regretful tone, "How did that kid get caught? Let me tell you, I have nothing to do with him!"

"???"

Who do you associate with?
