Chapter 354: The Navy Goes to the Countryside

Fortunately, the phone bug only has a "speaker" mode, and Smog's depressed roar can attract everyone's attention in the first place.

"Smoker?"

Galen finally remembered how urgent the word "call for help" Brynn had just reported.

He hurriedly picked up the microphone and hurriedly asked:

"What's wrong?"

"Where are you?"

"Was it attacked by pirates?"

Galen asked several questions in a row, and took the initiative to give Smoker an emergency suggestion:

"If it's a pirate, you'll just call him."

"I'd like to see which little thief dares to touch my friend in the new world."

Smoker is a navy, and if he encounters any difficulties in the New World, it is most likely because he has been attacked by pirates.

And Galen killed the aunt, subdued all the nations, and became the new four emperors recognized in the eyes of people under the vigorous propaganda of Morgans.

The power of the Four Emperors shrouded the New World, and the faces of the Four Emperors were better than the World Government in the New World, and most of the little pirates on the road had to shrink their heads when they saw the banners of the Four Emperors.

Therefore, Galen can now exert some of the power of the face fruit.

It's a pity that Galen confidently put on a big face and wanted to experience the majesty of the big brother in society, but in the end he punched him in the air.

Because Smoker's answer was very surprising:

"No, it wasn't the pirates who attacked me."

"It's complicated, anyway..."

"I'm being chased and beaten by Mr. Zefa right now."

.........................................

Three days ago, an island in the New World.

After a long voyage, Smoker and Dusty finally arrived at the hometown of the last children.

However, the Navy warship came to a halt in the open sea.

Because there is a skeleton pirate flag hanging on the dock of this island, the curvy of the skull is particularly eye-catching:

"Whitebeard's banner?"

"This is Whitebeard's territory?"

Smoker hesitated a little, and asked Dusty beside him with a serious expression:

"Doesn't that mean there's still some distance from Whitebeard's territory?"

The Navy and Whitebeard had just made a truce in the New World, and it was a sensitive time.

If Smoker had broken into Whitebeard's territory with a warship at this time, he would have made the same political mistake as his teacher.

"This..."

Dusty's expression was a little embarrassed:

"The kids haven't mentioned it to me either, and I don't know."

"But..."

She looked at the dock on the shore from afar and couldn't help but say:

"It doesn't look like a pirate colony..."

The wharf was not very large, and the shore was full of small fishing boats, and there were patches of fishing nets drying on the beach, which looked no different from an ordinary fishing village.

Smoker also noticed this sight and immediately made a judgment:

This should be just a village sheltered by Whitebeard, and it shouldn't have much to do with the headquarters of the White Beard.

New World pirates are rampant, public security is extremely poor, and the safety of life and property is difficult to guarantee.

The only option for an island to be at peace is to take refuge in one of the Four Emperors and exchange a high protection fee for the right to fly the banner of the Four Emperors.

Such an island is not even a peripheral vassal force of the Four Emperors, and it is fundamentally different from the direct territories of the Four Emperors.

Therefore, the jealousy in Smoker's heart was greatly relieved:

"Let's go to the shore!"

"Send these kids home!"

.........................................

The warship finally docked.

Smoker and Dusty landed in a formation with the sailors, and then walked with the lost children all the way to the depths of the fishing village.

Along the way, Smoker saw that the buildings were a little shabby and dilapidated, and the roads beneath his feet were muddy.

Obviously, this fishing village is not rich at all.

This made both Smoker and Dusty slightly surprised:

Judging by his experience of sailing in the New World these days, only the wealthy and prosperous islands are eligible to fly the flag of the Four Emperors.

The reason is simple:

Only if an island is rich enough can it afford to pay the protection fee that satisfies the Four Emperors.

If the island is so poor that it clangs, who will go to great lengths to promise to provide it with security in these troubled times?

Even the official ruler, the World Government, only promised to let the Navy protect the member countries of the World Government that paid the heavenly gold, and the rest was regarded as the Navy's own private work.

Now, Smoker and Dusty see the banner of the Four Emperors Whitebeard in a poor fishing village.

"The Whitebeard Pirates have other plans for this village..."

"Or is it indiscriminate protection, like Galen?"

Smoker couldn't help but think of what he saw and heard in the East China Sea.

However, Galen is more impressed by Smoker.

His Debang company is not only as simple as hanging flags to protect, but also bringing various development opportunities to its islands and helping those poor villages get rid of poverty and become rich.

If nothing else, at least all the islands that the sea train line passes through have a tendency to get rich.

Thinking about these miscellaneous things, Smoker gradually led the team into the fishing village, but found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere:

The whole village looked empty.

The doors of every house were closed, and occasionally one or two panicked eyes flashed behind the windows.

And the sound of nervous and heavy breathing coming from the house, Smoker could hear it clearly from dozens of meters away.

"This..."

Smoker's face was a little unsightly.

The reaction of these villagers was as if they had encountered pirates entering the village.

And he is a rear admiral of the Navy Headquarters and a regular army with justice, but in front of these villagers, he is treated like a pirate?

"You, go over!"

Smoker took a hard sip on his cigar and said angrily to one of his subordinates:

"Tell them to open the door!"

"Yes!"

The five-size-fits-all saluted Smoker and hurried to a house and knocked on it.

His strength was so great that he knocked on it casually and slammed the door with a loud bang.

Then the meaty-faced sailor roared in a very rough voice:

"Open the door, fellow, we're not bad people!"

"We're here to send the kids home!"

"Ahh

There was a panicked scream inside the door, and there were many scrambled collisions.

“......”

Smoker suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.

He himself was fierce and vicious, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with the soldier's image before.

"Dusty."

Smoker reluctantly used his trump card: "You go and try." ”

"Good..."

Dusty pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, showing a quiet and gentle atmosphere.

Then, Dusty put on her warm smile that melted ice easily.

The door opened.

The villagers cautiously poked their heads out.

"Don't worry, we're a righteous navy."

Dusty smiled, and the villagers were like a spring breeze.

Three minutes later, the military and civilians were in trouble.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you for helping us get the baby back!"

The relatives of the separated children gathered around Dusty, tears of gratitude in their eyes.

The old village chief, who had appeared with a musket and Ding Zhuang with him, and was wary of the navy, was now so moved that he almost didn't kneel down in front of Dusty.

In this kind of world, it is a miracle that children who have been abducted overseas can return to their hometowns.

And Dusty has become a great benefactor who creates miracles in the eyes of the villagers.

Merely...

With a fierce face, Smoker still didn't dare to approach easily within ten meters of his body.

He watched as Dusty was laughing and talking surrounded by the villagers, and he stood beside him with a gloomy face, smoking a cigar alone, accompanied by the choking smoke of cigars.

"That, Grandpa the Village Chief?"

Dusty chatted and chatted, and finally couldn't help but ask the village chief who looked old:

"We're both in the Navy, why did you avoid us in the first place?"

"Is it because of the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Dusty thought of the whitebeard flag hanging on the dock, and guessed:

"Is it because the Whitebeard Pirates won't let you interact with the navy?"

"We're not going to get you in trouble when we're here, are we?"

"Huh?"

The old village chief was slightly stunned, and immediately shook his head and said:

"No, no, no... Of course not. ”

"The people with the white beard are very kind to us, and they won't even accept protection money, so they allow our village to fly the banner of the Four Emperors."

"Our village can live peacefully in this kind of world, all thanks to the Whitebeard Pirates..."

"Ahem..."

The old village chief subconsciously praised the Whitebeard Pirates a few times before he suddenly realized that he was talking to the navy.

He hurriedly closed his mouth, but the expression on his face was extremely embarrassed.

Of course, the kind-hearted Dusty would not pursue his reactionary remarks, but couldn't help but ask:

"Why is that?"

"If it's not Whitebeard's reason, then why are you afraid of the navy?"

"This..."

The old village chief's expression became more and more embarrassed.

He hesitated for a long time before he finally told the truth:

"Two months ago, when the navy and Whitebeard were fighting, there happened to be a fleet of navy passing by."

"They weren't in a good state at the time, so they asked our village for some supplies."

This next round is embarrassing for Da Siqi.

Smoker, who was in attendance, didn't look very good.

The two of them had seen a lot of chaos within the navy when they were fighting corruption in the East China Sea, and they could naturally understand what the old village chief meant by the phrase "I asked for some supplies".

The Whitebeard Pirates provide protection to the villagers, while the navy is here to loot.

Who is the soldier and who is the bandit?

This simple question is sometimes really indistinguishable.

Once again, this question arose in the minds of Dusty and Smoker.

Eventually, Smoker threw away the cigar in his mouth and walked slowly over to the old chief.

The old village chief was startled by the tall and fierce Smoker, and subconsciously shrank behind Dusty's back.

However, Smoker bent down in front of him and bowed deeply:

"I'm sorry!"

"I apologize to you for the wrongdoings of my fellow Navy officers!"

And Dusty followed Smoker's movements without thinking, bowing and apologizing to the villagers.

The naval soldiers behind them, who were usually influenced by Dusty's kindness, now saw the amazing actions of the two commanders, and they also leaned down and bowed deeply:

"I'm sorry!"

The villagers were immediately moved.

"Get up!"

The old village chief's gaze became softer and softer, and the harmonious atmosphere of the military and civilian fish and water conditions became more and more harmonious.

The 1st Fleet of Smokers successfully completed the mission.

With the warm farewell of the old village chief and the villagers, Smoker and the other navy returned to the dock and prepared to board the ship and leave.

But at this time, there was an extra sail shadow on the sea in the distance, and several pirate ships broke through the sea.

"Pirates?!"

Smoker's pupils shrank, and he carefully distinguished: "It's not Whitebeard's banner, it seems to be..."

He couldn't recognize which pirate flag it was, it seemed that some unknown pirate group was all over the New World and suddenly visited here.

Seeing that it was not the Whitebeard Pirates, Smoker's face soothed a lot.

But the faces of the old village chief and the villagers were much more ugly.

After all, Whitebeard is their protector and benefactor, and the other pirates are complete scourges.

"Don't be afraid!"

Smoker said with a calm expression:

"With our navy here, nothing will happen to you."

He stood in front of them like a green pine, and the cloak of justice rustled in the sea breeze:

"As a navy..."

"We can't do worse than Whitebeard when it comes to protecting the people!"

"Yes!"

Inspired by Smoker, the Navy was in full swing.

After a long time...

Navy, hit the streets.
