One Piece: Starting from Awakening the Cosmo at Marineford

After obtaining the pirates' clothes, Aaron still managed to defeat them head-on.

They left about ten people to guard the warship, while the remaining thirty-odd people changed into pirate costumes, started cosplaying, boarded the pirate ship, and headed towards Beehive Island.

Five days later, the ship approached Beehive Island and could see the huge skull-shaped building standing on the island from afar.

Lark said, "Aaron... cough, Captain, that's Beehive Island ahead. The people on the island are mostly pirates and gangsters from the underworld. There are two main ports, one for merchant ships and the other for ordinary pirate ships. We're heading to this port, called Rocky Port."

Aaron said, "Once we get to the island, be careful not to reveal your identities, lest it affect my plans."

"yes!"

The twenty marines dressed as pirates immediately saluted in unison.

Aaron shook his head: "Damn it, a soldier's nature is hard to change."

"Hahaha!" The twenty men scratched their heads and laughed.

There are probably two or three hundred pirate ships in the port, densely packed together, with all sorts of pirate flags fluttering wildly on the flagpoles.

Aaron jumped onto the dock, with Lark and the others following behind, striding forward.

An old man with gray hair and dressed in flashy clothes raised his arm and stopped Aaron.

"Stop for a second. Pay the fee."

"Pay a fee? What fee?"

"Oh, so this is your first time here."

The old man pulled a register from under his other arm, took out a pen, and wrote, "Boating fee, patrol fee, shore excursion fee, island construction fee, road construction fee, city maintenance fee, stay fee, cleaning fee, environmental management fee, security fee, food purchase fee..."

Although the old man was old, he was still quite eloquent, reciting the names of more than thirty different dishes.

Aaron was a little dumbfounded: "Isn't this a bit too much?"

The old man scribbled in the register without looking up: "Is there a bounty?"

Finbuddy casually pulled out a bill, held it in both hands, and handed it to the old man.

The old man leaned closer, looked at Aaron with his cloudy, yellowish eyes, then frowned and asked, "Is this you?"

"It was me. I was quite fat back then."

The old man shrank back, shook his head, and clicked his tongue, saying, "Looks like you're having a tough time being chased by the navy."

Aaron said, "Who says otherwise?"

"You can fight on the island, but you can't gang up on each other, and that's about it."

The old man shook his head, put the money in the register, and turned to leave.

Aaron then led his men through the crowd, past the archway that read "ROCKY," and into the town.

The streets here are bustling and much more lively than those in ordinary towns.

Entertainment venues were everywhere on both sides of the street, bustling with people, men and women, some intimately cuddling, some dancing, some drinking, some fighting one-on-one, some swinging bottles, some brandishing sticks, and some even brandishing knives and guns, but no one cared. Instead, everyone was making a fuss and watching the excitement.

Lark said, "This island is truly lawless. It's even more chaotic than the Sabaody Archipelago."

"It's good that there's no lawlessness," Fombardy laughed. "We can make our move here without worrying about hurting civilians."

Lark asked, "Captain, do you think those civilians on this island are really civilians?"

Aaron said, "Even if there are any, they won't be good people. In a den of thieves, even if they aren't thieves themselves, they're still accomplices."

Yun Que nodded, "They don't seem like ordinary people to me. Although they smile kindly, they still occasionally reveal a fierce expression."

"They're not necessarily all bad people," said Fombardy. "In this kind of environment, if you're not ruthless, you'll get bullied."

Aaron said, "We'll see. Let's find a place to stay first, then get something to eat."

The group found a tavern, which was also quite crowded.

We sat down at five tables, and the waiters came over to serve us.

"I need a room," said Finbdi.

The waiter smiled and asked, "Are you new here?"

"What? Is that not allowed?"

The waiter said, "Welcome! We have rooms available. Are you booking a room alone or as a couple?"

"I need 19 rooms," said Finbdi.

The waiter hesitated, "This...I'm afraid we don't have that many."

Fombardier slammed his hand on the table: "What? Are you bullying us newbies?"

The waiter's smile faded. "Sorry, the room is taken by these regular guests. Would you mind squeezing in?"

"Full? That's easy."

Finbdi stood up with a sneer, pointed to the three tables, and said, "Give up the room."

"Hahaha!"

The bar erupted in laughter.

"Hey, newbies, what makes you think you're qualified? Who's your captain, and how much is your bounty?"

Fombey shook his finger: "You don't need to worry about that. Give up the room, or die!"

"Die? You're the ones who should be dying!"

The pirates at the four tables suddenly stood up, drawing their swords, guns, and throwing bottles.

Finbuddy grinned and started moving.

After a series of clanging sounds, more than twenty pirates were lying on the ground, writhing and groaning.

Fombey looked at the waiter: "A room is available now."

The remaining pirates in the bar fell silent, even trying to avoid making a sound while drinking.

The waiter's face twitched, but he still managed a forced smile: "I'll arrange it right away! Please wait a moment, the food and drinks will be ready shortly!"

The waiter gestured to his two still-dazed colleagues and then ran into the kitchen.

Indeed, the food and drinks were served quickly and filled several tables.

"We haven't ordered yet," said Finbdi.

The waiter said with a smile, "This is a complimentary item from our shop, it's free!"

"A gift? How kind of you!"

The waiter smiled and said, "You're welcome! You're welcome."

Fombardier: "I was going to be polite, but since you're being so polite, then I won't be polite at all!"

The waiter smiled and said, "You're too kind!"

Hibari couldn't help but burst out laughing: "You guys are hilarious!"
