The gourmet among pirates

A strong wind blew, and the figure at the window subconsciously wanted to close the window.

But then she remembered the doctor's instructions just now to keep the room ventilated. This tangle made her close the window a little longer.

Just as she half-closed the window, a newspaper blown by the strong wind fell from the gap in the window.

After the figure at the window picked up the newspaper from the ground, he took a casual glance and happened to see the photo on the front page of the newspaper, and the figure on the photo who was extremely familiar to him.

“It’s him…”

······

at the same time.

Among the Navy Headquarters.

The Warring States Marshal also met for the first time, the East China Sea Navy Captain "Molin" whom Garp said might have the potential to be a quasi-general.

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Sengoku murmured to himself: "Have you forced back the top pirate in the new world who is qualified to compete for the throne, red-haired Shanks? It seems that this little guy's hidden strength is better than what Cap said. There’s more to come!”

"But since he has the strength to push back the red-haired Shanks, why has he been unwilling to accept the Navy's order to go to the Grand Line? Is it a hidden ambition or some unknown concern?"

"Wait a minute, I remember that this Maureen seems to be that guy's nephew!"

I don't know what Warring States thought of, but he quickly found Molin's background information from a drawer in his desk.

Opening the information, Seng Guo's fingers quickly checked it line by line.

"found it."

Captain Morin of the East China Sea No. 127.

Family Relations, "Uncle" Vice Admiral Roy Nelson.

After seeing the name Roy Nelson, Sengoku quickly recalled Nelson's ambition to be promoted to the Navy Governor of the East China Sea.

As a marshal of the Navy, he was certainly not unfamiliar with the name of Vice Admiral Roy Nelson.

The other party's application for promotion to the Governor of the East China Sea Navy was all corrected by the Warring States Period.

It can be said that the Warring States Period was extremely familiar with Lieutenant General Nelson, who was also good at using strategies and tactics but did not have much combat effectiveness.

After all, the other party's nickname is "Little Zhijiang Donghai"!

Chapter 67 The Sixty-Sixth Teacher

If Maureen stayed in Donghai to help his uncle during the critical period of Roy Nelson's promotion, then everything would make sense.

Because of some coincidence, a beautiful misunderstanding was born.

······

After handing over everything, the wounded on the ship were taken to the hospital in the base for recovery.

Regarding the heavily damaged Sturgeon, Morin could only ask a few small teams of soldiers to maneuver the damaged naval warship to the nearest naval dock for repairs.

In the naval dockyard, there are already an unknown number of warships on the repair list, as well as the shipwrights' work schedule.

Maureen wants to see the Sturgeon again, but she doesn’t know how long it will take.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of warships at the naval base. The temporary lack of one warship will not have much impact on the base.

It was only then, after returning to his office, that Molin discovered that one of the two newspapers on his desk had a photo of him fighting Shanks.

Maureen's first reaction was when she saw this kind of photo.

[What the hell, why did my photo get printed in the newspaper? 】

[Also, the scene of me and Shanks fighting was shot by that bastard! How can I continue to develop in a low-key manner like this! Simply toxic. 】

Through his own research on the shooting angles of the photos, Molin immediately deduced that these sets of photos were taken by someone holding a camera at high altitude.

High altitude photography.

In addition, when he was fighting, he did not clearly feel the breath of life in the sky.

Morin soon determined that the people who took these photos were probably "not people", but a group of news birds who were desperate for money and notorious for their original work.

[Tai, I didn’t expect that I, a dignified time-traveler, would be secretly photographed by a bird without knowing it. This is really an embarrassment to us time-travelers! 】

[Hmph, damn News Bird, damn Morgans, remember World Economic News. One day I will make you guys pay a heavy price for secretly filming me. 】

······

After calming down, Molin simply covered his temples with a headache after reading the report in the newspaper.

"Hey, after forcing the red-haired Shanks to retreat, can the contents of this newspaper be more exaggerated?"

Now, Mo Lin finally understood what was going on with the admiring eyes that the naval soldiers in the base looked at him when he came back.

Needless to say, it must be the newspaper's fault.

At that time, I thought that the soldiers were filled with admiration when they saw that they had brought Taoyao and the others back intact.

Unexpectedly, it was because of this newspaper...

After tidying up my mood.

There was a knock on the door just outside Molin's office.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

"Please come in."

As Maureen's voice fell.

With a creak, the office door was opened.

Then a thin figure got in and closed the office door extremely skillfully.

"Ok?"

Seeing the person coming, Mo Lin was surprised, and then said with a smile: "It's Ace! What's wrong? If you don't go back and have a good sleep, why did you come to me? Do you mean you want to see your mother's photo?"

"no!"

Ace yelled, then hesitated and said, "Of course I want to see mom's photos, but I'm not here for this matter this time."

"Then for what?"

Looking at Molin, Ace gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and shouted, "I'm here to apologize."

"Apologise, what are you apologizing for?" Mo Linxiao asked with interest.

"If it hadn't been for my plea that the warship took Usopp away, Usopp's father wouldn't have chased him with the red-haired pirates, and everyone wouldn't have been hurt..."

As he spoke, tears filled the corners of Ace's eyes.

Ace knew that in the end, if Molin hadn't arrived in time and forced Shanks back, the navy on the Sturgeon would have been in real danger. No one knew that without a strong man to suppress the battle, the red-haired pirates would be in danger. What will he do to the navy who took away Jesus Bu's son in the end?

Regarding Ace's apology, Maureen shook his head: "The person you apologize to should not be me, but the other people on the ship. After all, they are the ones you really brought into danger."

Ace: "I have already apologized to everyone, one by one!"

Oh!

Upon hearing this, Molin's eyes lit up.

It seems that Ace can still see clearly some situations?

"Then what? In addition to apologizing, what else do you want to say to me? If my guess is correct, come to me and tell me if there is anything else you want to say besides apologizing!"

Looking at Mo Lin, who seemed to understand everything.

Ace gritted his teeth and knelt down heavily in front of Mo Lin with a bang.

He knocked his little head heavily on the ground and shouted: "I want to ask you to teach me to become stronger. I want to become stronger so that I can protect everyone when I encounter danger. I want to protect everyone, instead of being in danger like now." If you are in danger, you can only stand aside helplessly."

Looking at Ace kneeling on the ground.

Mo Lin chuckled and said, "Okay, I agree."

Ok?

After hearing Molin's answer, Ace looked up in disbelief, as if he didn't believe that Molin would agree so easily.

"What, it's weird?" Maureen asked.

Ace nodded blankly.

Mo Lin smiled and said, "It's not surprising. It's a good thing to want to become stronger and protect others. I think Lujiu's spirit in heaven will also be happy when she knows about it."

Will my mother be happy too?

Ace also smiled when he heard that.

Molin, who was opposite Ace, smiled even more happily.

After seeing so many atrocities committed by pirates and experiencing a setback personally, Ace's view of pirates has gradually undergone some changes that Ace himself was not aware of.

Recently, Ace hasn't clamored to become a pirate for a long time.

While doing odd jobs on the warship, Ace began to work harder and harder.

And to become stronger and then protect others, isn't that the original intention of most passionate young people who join the navy?

After Ace laughed for a while, Maureen said, "Since you want me to teach you, what should you call me now?"

Looking at Mo Lin with a playful look on his face, Ace's smile suddenly froze on his face.

He still clearly remembered the disdain on his grandfather's face when he asked Colonel Molin to be his teacher, as well as those words that mocked Colonel Molin.

Now he was begging Mo Lin to teach him his skills. This slap in the face came so quickly!

Although Ace felt his cheeks turn red from shame, he still respectfully shouted to Molin: "Teacher!"

At the same time, there was a "ding" on Molin's panel, indicating that the progress of the "Mentor" task had reached 10%.

Chapter 68 Brigadier General

Ever since Ace called me teacher.

Molin paid a lot more attention to him. In addition to letting Ace perform daily base cleaning with other navy miscellaneous soldiers, it was easier to integrate into the navy camp.

Maureen also gave Ace some special treatment.

After finishing his daily chores, Maureen tailored a training plan for Ace.

Of course, at the beginning, the intensity of this training plan was not high. It was just to get a feel for Ace's physical foundation and to better understand Ace's current physical strength.

In addition to the training plan, in order to promptly replenish the consumption incurred by Ace during his training, there are also nutrients he needs to grow his body.

Maureen had to save some Neptune-like meat from between his teeth to supplement Ace's nutrition.

Neptune meat is rich in nutrients and can be considered a first-level supplement for ordinary people.

If you eat it regularly, it can improve your physical strength to a certain extent, which is perfect for Ace now.

······

In this way, two days passed quietly.

originally.

Morin thought that after what happened with the red-haired pirates, he could barely keep quiet for a while.

But it didn't take long for the tranquility he thought was broken.

First, early on the third day, there was a phone call from Navy Headquarters.

Let Maureen get up from her comfort zone (warm bed).

When Molin answered the phone in a daze, she was still a little unconscious, but the name on the other end of the phone that announced her name made Molin wake up instantly.

"Moses Moses, I am Warring States!"

"Huh? Warring States...Marshal Warring States!!!"

"Yes, it's me!"

Listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, a long list of questions flashed through Molin's mind after she woke up.

What's going on, the Supreme Commander of the Navy, why would he personally call a young colonel like him in the East China Sea so early in the morning?

Don't think you wanted to recruit me to the Navy Headquarters after seeing me fight with Shanks.
