Chapter 19: Captain of the Navy, Monka
After drifting at sea for most of the day, Luffy arrived at his destination, the town where the 153rd branch of the East China Sea Naval Base is located. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because the ship did not yet have a skull flag symbolizing the pirates, it did not attract the attention of the navy. The last meal was half a day ago, so the first thing Luffy did when he came ashore was to find a restaurant and eat.
The rough-nerved Luffy didn't pay attention, but both Rosho and Robin were attentive people. After going ashore, they found out from the spirit of the townspeople they saw, and the domineering feedback that they had seen and heardβthat something was wrong with this town.
This feeling is very strongly highlighted when Luffy arrives at the hotel, mentions "Zoro", and later when Kirby mentions "Monca". The other customers in the hotel didn't even dare to approach Luffy for fear of being implicated.
"Now, Luo Xiu, what did you say that kid Sauron had done? Why are the people here so afraid of him? Robin asked with some interest. Although she had already seen and heard that Zoro was being tied up on the school grounds of the naval base at the moment.
"Zoro, it should be ......" Luo Xiu wanted to say something, but the door of the hotel was pushed open, and an unexpected and reasonable person appeared.
"Yo, Guina, long time no see." Because of the relationship between seeing and hearing, Luo Xiu was the first to say hello.
"Yikes! Master! Sister Robin is also there! The girl who came in was shocked. Looking at her, she didn't expect to meet Luo Xiu at all.
"Come, come, have you eaten? Would you like to have something together? How did you end up here? Luo Xiu asked with a smile.
Guina was stunned for a moment, then walked over to find a stool and sat down: "Well, that's right. Three months ago, Sauron drew the sword you left behind before I did, and went to sea first. I just pulled it out recently. After that, I followed his news to this neighborhood. I heard again that he was captured by the navy of this base. I just found out that it seems to be related to the daughter of the owner of this hotel, so I wanted to find out about the situation. β
"I see." After Luo Xiu listened, the memory in his mind was basically clear. Combined with the strange reactions of the townspeople before and the feedback from the people who saw and heard, Luo Xiu was completely in control of what was happening on this island. Thinking about it for a while, Zoro's tenacious guy can't die, and Luo Xiu is not in a hurry, slowly waiting for Luffy to eat.
Maybe he wanted to meet his new partner soon, but Luffy actually ate only eight points full to say that he had eaten well! So, a few people followed Luffy to the school yard of the naval base. The fence around the school yard is not high, and it is easy to climb over it.
I saw a cross staring at a cross in the middle of the school field, and a person was tied to it. It looked like a salted fish that had been dried. Getting closer, Luo Xiu opened his mouth and mocked, "Yo, stupid student. Goodbye after a long absence, you turned out to be like this? β
Confused, Zoro heard a nostalgic but annoying voice. He tried to open his eyes, and then, with a smile:
"Hah...... What day is it? Or am I hallucinating from hunger? Why, Guina is with you? β
As soon as Zoro finished speaking, he suffered a heavy blow to the head - Luo Xiu rushed in front of Zoro with a thunderbolt that could not hide his ears and steal the bell, and gave him a burst. The rope and stake that held Sauron in place were all broken at once, and Sauron had only a large bag on his head.
[Pick up] the green-haired road idiot who was paralyzed on the ground and throw it to Guina: "Take this idiot and go eat something with that little girl over there to replenish your strength." Luo Xiu pointed to the little Lori who was trying to climb over the fence not far away.
"Hey! Who are you guys? How dare you take that criminal away without permission! Be careful that I get my dad to sentence you to death!! At the entrance of the school grounds, a second cargo with golden mushroom hair and a weak appearance walked in under a group of naval forces with gloomy faces.
Luo Xiu said to this second commodity with a very subtle smile: "You ask me? I'm the criminal you call me, teacher. Although I really want to overturn your car like this, but unfortunately, today is a good day for me to reunite with my lovely disciples and unlovely students, and I don't want to see blood. β
"Luffy, I'll leave it to you. We're waiting for you in the hotel to celebrate your first crew member. With a wave of his hand, he walked away with Robin and Kirby.
Seeing that Luo Xiu ignored his warning, the second golden retriever froze for a moment, and after reacting, he was very angry and commanded the navy around him: "Why are you still stunned?" Give it to me! Arrest them all! β
"Hee-hee-hee-hee......-he The navies who received the Golden Retriever's order rushed towards Luffy. As soon as he was halfway there, Luffy raised his head, and under the shadow of the straw hat, a pair of domineering glasses were revealed, and an invisible momentum spread around!
The group of navies was swept by this momentum, and they immediately lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
"Huh?" The second golden retriever saw that his father's subordinates suddenly fell, and before he could figure out what was happening, he was also shrouded in that momentum, so he just stood and rolled his eyes.
"That's it!" Luffy didn't even check the condition of those people, turned around and chased in the direction Luo Xiu and the others left.
Outside the wall, their voices can still be faintly heard:
"It's not enough to be proficient."
"Well~ After all, this is a trick that you don't know, teacher~ It's not easy for me to release it!"
"Ace was released four years before you."
"He's my brother!"
"You have a lot of reasons. Forget it, I won't bother with you today. Is there anything you'd like to eat? As a teacher, I am in a good mood today and can help you do it. β
"Oooh! I'm going to eat a big piece of meat made by the teacher! How big it is! β
"Good. Robin, is there anything you'd like to eat? β
"Ahh Well, why don't you just have a cold dish that you're good at. β
"Okay."
"Teacher, I still want to eat ......"
The sound faded away, and the school field returned to calm. Only the midday sun remains, baking the earth hard.
In his office at the top of the base, Colonel Monka was looking out the window as he usually did, reveling in his greatness. In a battle many years ago, he lost his right palm and his jaw shattered. But in the end, he [caught] a notorious pirate leader.
With this credit, he was successfully promoted to colonel, and obtained the current "right hand". It was a very sharp axe given to him by the Navy Headquarters. The nickname of "Axe Man Monka" also comes from this.
It's a pity that for many years, the life of the emperor and the prestige has made this navy, which once fought bloody battles and had the courage to fight against evil, decay. The current Monka is just a bully with a sharp axe in his right hand, intoxicated with the dregs of the desire for power that determines life and death.
Recently, although the townspeople have gradually become a little less than enough to pay tribute, his statue has just been completed, so Monka is in a good mood.
"Well, before putting that statue up, why don't you drag it around the town and let the townsfolk worship my greatness?" Monka looked at the sky outside the window and muttered to herself; "In this way, the untouchables who do not respect me enough will also increase the tribute to some extent. What do you say, Lieutenant? β
The unknown lieutenant of the Navy "......" was shocked by the narcissism and cruelty of the man in front of him, but the last trace of insistence made him tell the truth: "Report to the captain!" The people in the base will struggle to erect your statue just by erecting it! There's no way to get your statue to town unscathed! β
Munka turned and stared at the lieutenant. Fortunately, although he is narcissistic and brutal, he is not stupid: "Since there are not enough people, there is no way." You can't let a statue as great as mine be damaged. Go, inform everyone, come to the top of the building, and put up my statue! β
"Yes!"
A few minutes later, Monka reached the rooftop, but did not wait for all of his men. So he was very angry, his eyes widened, and he said to the lieutenant who was in charge of delivering his orders: "Give you a minute, and give your last words!" β
The lieutenant stiffened his head and saluted: "Report!" We found your son and several brothers fainting on campus! Noah Zoro, who was tied up somewhere, is no longer there. We're getting ready to start a search, please indicate! β
"What did you say?!" Monka sensed it, someone was provoking him! How many years have you not met such a person who is not afraid of death? It seems that it is time to tell these untouchables who is the greatest person in this place!
"Call everybody! Bring your weapons! Colonel Ben today, I must make sure that everyone understands my greatness! β
"Yes!"
At this time, Sauron, who was the target of Monka, was slowly eating under the control of Luo Xiu.
With Luo Xiu as the intermediary, Zoro agreed to Luffy's invitation after a little consideration. Unexpectedly, Guina also joined. Luffy, who harvested two crew members at the same time, was naturally very happy. He opened the banquet mode without making an assertion.
Ecstatic pirates, furious navies, this oppressive town is becoming more and more lively. It's like a carnival......
