Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

The next day, the two teams arrived at the port city of Rape Flowers at almost the same time.

One, from Albana.

Headed by Rowan, there is also Crocodile, plus Vivi who has to come out to play, and Bell, the deputy captain of the Kingdom Guards who is accompanying him.

The other one is from Sky Island.

The balloon octopus airship caravan returned for the first time. They brought a lot of goods from Alabasta that were not available in the air island eight days ago, and now they have returned with a large amount of air island specialties.

Rowan looked up, and after a long distance, he could see the balloon octopus airship slowly descending in the sky.

After careful adjustment by Alabasta shipbuilders, the original cabin is now almost the same volume as three ships, and has reached the level of a commercial fleet.

The cargo it carries is naturally quite large.

"cowry…"

Crocodile murmured that he was quite interested in this gadget with great military potential.

As for Rowan, he was a little curious about the navy lined up at the naval headquarters.

Crocodile's description of him can be used for reference, but he can't be trusted. After all, although it is Shichibukai, it is also a pirate in the final analysis. It is natural to see that the navy is unhappy.

When they entered the rapeseed flower, they also met the old mayor of Yalujia town, and the murloc Hoka from the nearby murloc village also followed him.

They heard that the balloon octopus airship was returning and came to greet it.

Yalujia is a port town after all. The quantity of goods handled is limited, and it takes time to develop slowly. Therefore, the main port for trade with Kongdao is set at Rape Flower.

"Oh, the ancestor is talking about him, I know."

The old town mayor nodded again and again, "I heard someone say yesterday that the big guy seems to be living by the pier now."

…

When everyone came to the pier, they happened to catch up with the landing of the balloon octopus airship.

Workers on the dock are helping to load and unload the cargo, including local workers in Alabasta, air islanders, Sandians, and even a few murlocs.

But the most conspicuous of them is a human being.

…Do not

Is that really "human"?

He is tall and strong, but if he insists on being tall, he is only in his early three meters.

It may be high for the average person, but it is not uncommon in this sea.

What really stands out is his "width".

The muscles of his body burst out, supporting his body like a rock, and there are countless scars on it, large and small, proving that this man has experienced a real war.

At the moment, he is shirtless, helping to carry a huge box.

The box that originally required more than ten people to load and unload together was lifted by him alone, and then gently placed on the ground.

"call!"

The man let out a sigh of relief. Like the workers around him, he was sweating all over.

But judging from his relaxed performance just now, he should have been helping for a long time before.

A little girl from the rapeseed area came to deliver water to the dockworkers, and also gave the unfamiliar burly man a cup.

Although I don't know each other, and they look a bit scary... but they've all come to help, so they're definitely not bad people!

The man scratched his head, picked up the corner of the water glass with his thick fingers, and poured the water down his stomach.

"Hooah!"

The sweet water made the man sigh, and then smiled at the little girl: "Thank you, can you have another drink?"

"Of course, you're welcome, uncle!"

The little girl was about to hand over the cup, but she accidentally fell and spilled water on the strong man's trouser legs.

The strong man immediately leaned down and helped the little girl up, looking flustered.

"No, are you alright?"

"Twisted bare feet? I'll rub it for you..."

"Don't cry, don't cry, look at my face! Wow!"

…

In the distance, Crocodile's eyes twitched slightly when he saw this scene.

How should I put it, there is a feeling—

Strange.

So weird!

Although Crocodile was unhappy with the navy, he also knew that there were indeed a small number of guys in the navy who were willing to put down their airs and make fun of ordinary residents.

But there is always something like "temperament" in a person.

Crocodile has been at sea for many years and is very confident in his ability to see people.

At first glance, Crocodile felt that there was a strong smell of blood around the burly man!

Has he killed someone?

more than.

Kill a lot of people?

...more than that!

Along the way, Crocodile has seen too many guys who like to slaughter the weak, and their bodies only have a stench like sludge.

But the burly man in front of him was different.

That is a near-substantial murderous aura!

It's different from Whitebeard's arrogant calm confidence, and it's also different from Rowan's way of thinking like staring into the abyss.

That burly man must be the one who stepped on the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood—and the sea of ​​corpses and blood was piled up by himself.

Crocodile had no doubt that the big hand of a strong man could twist the head of an ordinary man off his neck!

But the weirdest part is here.

The breath this guy exudes and his own words and deeds have a strange "sense of separation".

Now the strong man, because he made a little girl cry, was so anxious that he almost cried!

It can't be put on.

…

"The base chief of the ad hoc naval branch... is this the guy?"

Crocodile did not understand, but was shocked.

He was about to walk over, but was stopped by Rowan.

"No hurry, let's take a look first."

After saying that, he led the crowd to a stall and ordered a glass of juice for Weiwei.

Crocodile folded his hands on his chest and asked inexplicably, "Honestly, why did you agree to the Navy's proposal?"

It stands to reason that with the force of the Four Seas Alliance at this stage, it is fully capable of maintaining the safety of the route with its own strength, and there is no need for the Navy to intervene.

Rowan's purpose is to free the Four Seas Alliance from the restrictions of the World Government, why should he take the initiative to bring wolves into the house?

But Rowan asked Crocodile, "Navy, what's wrong?"

Crocodile sneered a few times, "Navy? Aren't they the 'face of the World Government'?"

"No, I said the word 'Navy' itself."

Rowan said slowly: "What's wrong with an army that maintains law and order at sea?"

"You want to use the name of 'navy' to cultivate your own navy?!"

Crocodile was stunned, he understood Rowan's thoughts.

At this stage, only the world government has real "sea power", and the rest of the countries, even the current Four Seas Alliance, do not have a regular sea army.

One is that the world government does not allow it, and the other is the lack of experience, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

If the navy can really take advantage of the opportunity of the navy to establish a naval branch in Alabasta to train a group of "own navy" that can be trusted, it will definitely be a sure-fire business.

But having said that, Crocodile couldn't help but frown.

"The crane of the navy is not a good stubble, UU reading www.uukanshu.com play with her mind, be careful of being played!"

"Actually, many things are not that complicated, so you might as well wait and see."

Rowan smiled and pointed to the sea.

In the distance, a pirate ship is slowly approaching.

The moving heads and noisy voices on it proved that they were by no means a group of well-intentioned visitors.

…

This kind of thing is actually quite common.

Looking at the pirate ship, the lookout on the rapeseed wharf was about to sound the alarm and call the king's army to assemble.

But Barlow's loud voice suddenly resounded through the dock.

"Don't be afraid, everyone, let me tell you something!"

Barlow stood up and reassured loudly, "I'm a navy, and I'll convince them!"
