Pirates: How many divisions does the Five Old Stars have?

Chapter 196 Are you an outdoor anchor?
Unknowingly, Ma Qiao has been in this world for 26 years.

At this age, Uzumaki Naruto has saved the world and became the preparatory Hokage, and Wang Lufei must have become the One Piece.

But Ma Qiao looked back on the past and found that his life was so plain.

It's just sitting on tens of billions of Bailey's assets and celebrating the New Year with lovely students.

There are also disturbing internal harmony issues to worry about.

This year is the second New Year after the establishment of Shurima City.

However, Shurima was just a small town in the previous year, and there were job hunting places for refugees everywhere.

And now this pearl in the desert has finally ushered in its first release.

People decorate with lanterns and festoons, singing and dancing to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

The children put on beautiful new clothes, and the adults put aside their busy lives and enjoyed the happy moments.

Even the assembly line of the Big Bird consortium stopped.

Crowe was wearing a blue labor protection uniform and a yellow safety helmet on his head. Standing on the bustling streets of Shurima, a sense of absurdity seemed to come from another world.

When he was Captain Crowe, he also imagined the scene of his own great voyage.

Whether it is magnificent, ups and downs, or even extremely tragic, all kinds of scenes have been recorded in my mind.

But he never thought that he would appear on the Great Airline as a model worker.

Even being sent to the Navy's prison as a prisoner is more real than all this.

"Let's go, Babatou, don't act like a leopard who has never seen the world!"

Usopp, the captain of the security team, who was also selected as an excellent employee, patted Crowe on the shoulder:

"The headquarters of the consortium has prepared a grand banquet for advanced elements like us. We have to make a good impression in front of the leaders!"

"Speaking of which, as a model worker, it doesn't matter if you wear overalls, why did you even bring a safety helmet, Babatou, should we go to the commercial street ahead to change?"

Facing Usopp's proposal, Crowe shook his head quickly.

Son of Roger.

Those corrupt navies who are full of brains and fat, killing good people and pretending to be meritorious, have not taken back the dirty water they poured on themselves!

Handsome overalls and a sturdy safety helmet, only such a dress can give Crowe a sense of security.

After all, not to mention other people, even Crowe himself, when he looked in the mirror, it was hard to believe that the man with thick arms in front of him was the ever-powerful Captain Crowe.

"No, I don't want this kind of life. I don't want to screw on the assembly line for a lifetime!"

Crowe told himself this more than once.

But when he was about to pack his bags and bid farewell to the stupid industrial park, an accident happened unexpectedly.

A large-scale crackdown on gangsters and pirates in the entire sea area of ​​the East China Sea organized by the Sixteen Branches of the East China Sea is in full swing.

The cause was that an idiot named Galtino beat up the legendary nobleman of the world.

In order to respond to the spirit of the superiors, Commander Tuqi of the [-]th branch made the decision to grasp the first level and implement it level by level, and launched Operation Thunder in the East China Sea.

The warships with the logo of the root are cruising in the sea, compressing the living space of the pirates who are already very small.

And the object that Crowe originally planned to seek refuge in, Captain Plank in Timely Rain in the East China Sea, was rejected because he rejected the navy's invitation from Shichibukai, and under the instigation of the Revolutionary Army, he attacked many orphanages in East China Sea with the background of the world government. The world government is chasing and intercepting.

In the end, Plank had to flee to the New World and join the Whitebeard Pirates.

According to related news reports, Plank hugged Edward Newgate's big thick leg and cried bitterly:
"Ke drifted away for half his life, and only hated not meeting the Ming Lord. If you don't give up, Ke is willing to worship as a righteous father!"

After hearing this, White Beard laughed and happily accepted the new son.

But in this way, it will be hard for Crowe.

The thigh that Crowe wanted to hug became someone else's thigh pendant instead, and he himself was simply unable to travel the great route alone, let alone go to the New World to find his thigh.

Therefore, Crowe can only settle down as he comes, and temporarily commit himself to the shadow of the Big Bird consortium.

As a result, I didn't expect that after working hard, I got piecework No. 1, and the pass rate of quality control was very high.

The workshop director, Kebi, even put forward an appeal, asking everyone to learn like Pabatou workers, not afraid of hardships, not afraid of tiredness, and strive to contribute to the bright future described by Mr. Ma Qiao.

boom!
While thinking wildly, Crowe seemed to hit a wall by himself.

However, the cat-like agility he has cultivated over the years allows him to do a light backflip when he falls, and firmly...

Lying on the ground.

Because Baiji Keluo's mind is as bright as the third brother's.

In mid-air, he thought of his current identity, so he changed the position of his body, making himself fall like a clumsy civilian.

A very tall masked man gave him a condescending look.

There is no expression on the mask, but there is a little doubt in the exposed eyes.

Crowe swallowed, and lowered his helmet to cover his face as much as possible.

"My friend, I'm sorry!"

The tall man held out his hand.

"It's ok!"

Crowe held the man's hand and stood up with strength.

It's just that I don't know if it's an illusion. When shaking hands, Crowe felt that this man was very cold. The cold palm of his hand didn't seem like a human temperature.

"What's your name, brother?" asked the masked man.

"Crabatelle..."

Just as Crowe was about to answer, Usopp ran over with his mouth full of food.

"Babatou, the food here is too rich, and the taste is very good, do you want to try these three-color meatballs!"

Speaking of which, Usopp inserted a large number of balls into Crowe's mouth.

"Hi Papatou, it's a very good name."

Qingzhi nodded: "I also like your clothes."

Crowe: "..."

Usopp noticed the masked man who suddenly appeared.

"Huh? Uncle, you..."

"Are you one of the top [-] anchors invited by the Big Bird Foundation?"

Qingzhi froze for a moment, he thought that the weird long nose in front of him was curious about his mask,
Unexpectedly, this long nose stared at the small metal plate hanging around his neck with shining eyes.

Aokiji replied subconsciously:
"If by anchor you mean the role of communicating with people in the studio, then yes, I am an anchor and have been broadcasting for more than three months."

"What? It's only been aired for three months, and it has 20 fans?"

Usopp's eyes widened in disbelief.

Qingzhi nodded, and couldn't help but think of the more than 100 days and nights he had been coerced by the old thief Garp, and couldn't help shivering.

"You can get a fan card in three months and be invited to Shurima to participate in the Big Bird Annual Meeting. Uncle, you are really amazing!"

Usopp's eyes widened, and he described the remarkable features of this small metal plate.

"Only big anchors with more than 20 fans will get such a fan card!"

"I also tried to become a story area up host, but I persisted for more than half a year, and I still only have single-digit fans!"

Usopp glanced enviously at Aokiji, who was embarrassed in place, and used his thick-skinned expertise to inquire:
"Uncle, what channel are you anchoring? Do you do outdoor sports? Do you have any tips for becoming a great anchor? Can you tell me?"

Faced with a series of questions, Aokiji was speechless for a while, and after a long while, he answered.

"If you want to become a great anchor, my suggestion is that you must find an old man to guide you..."

After speaking, Aokiji clutched his mask tightly and left in a hurry.

"What a strange uncle!"

Usopp shook his head: "Look at how fast he runs, it looks like a youth lost in the sunset, I think he must be an outdoor sports anchor!"

……

Neferutali Royal Tomb.

Compared with the lively and prosperous royal capital, or the ever-changing Shurima.

This huge area located in the north direction between the two seems so quiet and peaceful.

Twilight jackdaws, grass short barnyard long.

Cobra held the bottle, reeking of alcohol.

Today is the annual ancestor worship day of the Neferutali family.

Two years ago, a drought hit Alabasta.

Cobra prayed in front of his ancestor's tomb for the country to be in good weather.

But now, Alabasta has indeed restored the previous precipitation, and even increased it, as Cobra wished.

Especially in the northeast region with Shurima as the center, it is faintly heading towards the south of the fortress, galloping on horseback.

Cobra knew he should be happy, but he couldn't.

Because for nearly a year, he hardly dealt with state affairs.

To be precise, he didn't worry about the country and the people in the palace, didn't pose in a heartbroken pose, and didn't confess his incompetence in front of the people of the whole country.

He didn't do any of the above face-saving projects.

But suddenly it started raining.

The country has also restored its previous normal order and vitality.

Of course, the so-called normal order in Cobra's mind means that the common people live in poverty and happiness, sand bandits are rampant as always, the benevolence of the royal family is talked about, and the whole country is called a model among the countries joined by the world government.

This is the world of great rule pursued by the kings of all dynasties.

"Ancestors, why did everything get better after I didn't do anything?"

"And the more diligent I am, the more fragmented the country will be, and it will be at stake!"

"Wow-wow-"

The only answer to him was the ugly cries of the jackdaws in the setting sun.

Cobra hugged the statue of his ancestor and wept bitterly.

However, at this moment, two young figures in the distance, whose shadows were stretched very long, walked over talking and laughing.

"So, Weiwei, are you sure that at the end of each year, offering tribute to the royal family's tomb is a well-known custom among ordinary people in Alabasta?"

"That's right, that's how it is. In Alabasta, this is how civilians celebrate the New Year!"

"But... there is no one here..."

Ma Qiao spread his hands helplessly.

...
