At the very moment when this pirate ship caused a riot in the fortress.

"Huh?" Aaron, who was explaining to Jessica with a sad face in the cafeteria, was suddenly stunned for a moment, then he turned his head to look around, scratching his head a little puzzled, "How do you feel like I've lost something?" ”

"Huh? What did you say? Jessica asked, looking up at Aaron.

"I feel like I've got everything," Aaron said to Jessica as he reached into his clothes and fumbled with them, and then he pulled his hand out of his clothes, "I just counted it, and it doesn't seem like there's anything missing..."

"......" Jessica looked at Aaron who was doing indecent movements as if no one was next to her, and was silent for a long time, before she turned slightly sideways, pointed to the faucet not far away, and said, "If there is no problem, quickly wash my hands, and then I will continue to teach you how to cook."

“…… Miss Jessica, I really can't cook" Aaron repeated again with some helplessness, "After all, I have no grievances with you, why should I cook to hurt you, if you really want to eat my food, my burger is also my food, right?" And I can make different flavors, as long as you can tell what flavor you want to eat, I will definitely be able to make it! ”

"Then how can it, as a chef, not only to make the food delicious, but also to be nutritious, even if you can stuff a lot of things in your burger and mix a variety of different flavors, your burger will definitely have nutritional deficiencies, after all, no matter what, it's just a hamburger" Saying, Jessica, who didn't know what Aaron's burger was, looked at Aaron who was speechless in front of her, and she advised bitterly, "You are a very talented cook, I know you like to make burgers very much, But sometimes, trying out other cuisines might inspire you to make a better burger. ”

"But my burger really needs some nutrients, and I don't hate cooking, it's just that I can really kill people when I cook..."Aaron said a little weakly, he felt for the first time what it was like to not be understood, "And I don't want to be a chef, I just want to be a burger chef......"

"Alright, stop muttering" Jessica waved her hand, she didn't want to listen to Aaron's vexatious fuss anymore. "Hurry up and wash your hands, the next wave of soldiers will be coming soon, I will teach you the basics of cooking during this time, although I think you should be able to learn it quickly with your talent, but there is nothing wrong with being fast."

"But..."

"Huh?"

“…… Alas, well, if Miss Jessica you insist that I cook, then remember to add another burger I made to my cooking" Looking at Jessica's appearance, Aaron knew that if he didn't cook today, he might not be able to get rid of this girl, so he said to Jessica very seriously about protective measures, "Otherwise, they will really go to heaven, heaven in every sense......"

"Every dish has to be accompanied by a burger that you made," Jessica looked at Aaron in surprise, "That's nearly 10,000 burgers, do you make them?" ”

"It's just nearly 10,000, it's a small matter." Aaron said confidently.

"Okay, it's rare that your dead brain has finally relented," Jessica nodded in satisfaction, "I agreed." ”

"Make sure they eat the burger as soon as they're done, I don't know what will happen if it's a little slower," Aaron looked at Jessica a little nervously.

"Got it, yes, you're a big man who's even more verbose than me," Jessica waved her hand impatiently.

"If only you knew what I meant." Seeing Jessica's appearance, Aaron didn't have any dissatisfaction, on the contrary, he nodded as if he had been confirmed something, and then Jessica noticed that the serious atmosphere exuded by Aaron's body suddenly relaxed, and then she saw him roll up his sleeves eagerly, "Okay, then everything is ready." ”

"Let me try what level I'm cooking!" So saying, he walked towards the stove, and there seemed to be a raging fire burning in his eyes.

Syllable!

But before he could turn on the stove, Jessica grabbed his thigh-thick wrist violently.

"Wash my hands first," Jessica said calmly to Aaron.

……

Just as Aaron was about to legally poison the entire fortress, in the command room, the captain was reporting to his superiors about the situation of the pirate ship that had fallen from the sky.

"Your Excellency Commander, my subordinates have something to report!" The buddy stood in the doorway of the command room and said, "The personnel of the maintenance department who witnessed the ship from close range, and the surveillance sentry reported..."

"What did you say?" Looking at his subordinates who had just said something important, Commander Jonathan's face suddenly sank, and an extremely chaotic, dark and firm thought slowly surfaced in his mind,

Kill all the broken dogs!

"Yes!" After discovering that his boss seemed to be affected by some kind of extradimensional existence, this dutiful subordinate hurriedly prepared to pull the plot in the normal direction, only to see him say, "This, they said they saw a ghost. ”

Well, this plot is not normal at all.

Then he repeated the confessions of the shipwright and the sentry.

Syllable!

"What nonsense!" Another boss in the command room, Colonel Drake, slammed the table as he pointed back to the ship outside the floor-to-ceiling window, "It must be the ship of the Straw Hat Pirates!" Definitely not a ghost ship! ”

After all, not long ago, he was running all over the sea with the Merry.

"And," he said, turning his head and looking sharply at his lieutenant, "you say it fell from the sky unscathed?" Are you doubting my IQ? ”

"Hmm." At this time, Jonathan, who was sitting and adjusting the fishing rod, suddenly said, "It's a little unbelievable, but it's true that it fell from the sky. ”

"Huh?" Drake looked at his boss in a bit of a circle.

"Let's go, let's go see the ghost ship for what it really is." Not paying attention to his subordinate's puzzled expression, Jonathan put down the fishing rod in his hand, he stood up from his seat, and said to Drake with a smile.

……

So, the camera shifted to the Merry.

At this time, the Merry had been wrapped in layers of yellow warning strips by the navy, and it looked like a turtle X tied to the ship.

"......" Jonathan crouched down, looked at a set of tea sets on the ground, and then had a preliminary understanding of the ship.

I see... 8 people in total? He thought silently to himself.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" At that moment, a soldier hurried out of the cabin, and he raised his things and shouted, "There are these things in the room!" ”

In the hands of this soldier is the gold ornament that Luffy and the others brought out of the python's stomach.

"Oh, the crown of pure gold, it looks like it's been a few years old, well, it looks like it was stolen from some ancient ruin," Jonathan said, rubbing his chin.

"Take it for appraisal right away!" Drake said to the soldier while holding up the teapot.

"......" Jonathan glanced at Drake before he spoke, "Then let's go inside and have a look." ”

……

"Judging from the observations, that ship has recently landed in Gaya" After finishing the investigation, Jonathan and Drake walked to the command office, and on the way, Jonathan said to Drake behind him, "You know, there is a lot of gold in that area. ”

"It doesn't matter who is up there or where they go, it's safe to know that they're coming from Gaya," Jonathan continued.

"Yes, I've seen that ship twice, it's definitely the Straw Hat Pirates!" Behind him, Drake said categorically, "But why did you say it was a ghost ship, Commander?" ”

"There are a lot of recruits here, and compared to the infamous Straw Hat Pirates, the Ghost Ship would give the soldiers a little more peace of mind," Jonathan explained, "and we don't know the purpose of their invasion yet, and if the identity of the invaders is confirmed, then the fortress will be in chaos." ”

"Anyway, let's just think of it as a ghost ship first." Jonathan said.

"With all due respect, Commander, I absolutely should set up a special search team immediately, and we must find them as soon as possible," Drake proposed to his commander behind him, "Please leave the task to our troops!" ”

"Well, don't worry," Jonathan said in his usual languid tone, "It's still a long night, they won't act like this, well, of course we won't, your troops will wait until morning, now let's go and thoroughly investigate the crowded places"

"A crowded place, isn't it?"

"That's right" Jonathan nodded, "The green wood worm is not easy to be spotted because it is mixed in the cyan bushes, if the Straw Hats and his party wear military uniforms, it's not that I don't believe in the ability of my subordinates, but they are fully capable of wearing military uniforms for disguise"

"......" At this time, Drake's eyes were completely sharp.

"The so-called pirates are always like wild dogs who go hungry quickly, so let's go to the cafeteria after dawn," said Jonathan, and walked to the headquarters alone.

……

"Luffy the Straw Hat Boy, Zoro the Pirate Hunter, and Aaron the Fruit Buster" In the command room, Commander Jonathan thought quietly, "The woman with countless hands and the stuffed monster should be their accomplices"

First, he thought back to the information that his subordinates had reported to him.

"But there are eight of them anyway," Jonathan muttered to himself as he was half-reclining in his seat, "and there was a skilled chef in it, and someone who might have been his apprentice or assistant or something. ”

He thought of the two stoves he had seen in the kitchen, one of which was full of utensils, the other had nothing but a pot, and the height of the cooktop was nearly half as low as the other.

"There should also be a knowledgeable ship doctor, and maybe a history study."

He thought back to the books he had seen in his bedroom.

"Anyway, I'll be able to get this information for the time being." Muttering to himself, he looked at the chess pieces laid out in front of him, "Still, I can't tell why they're here." ”

"But speaking of which, the kid who was fought over by Uncle Megawa and Jessica seems to be called Aaron as well......" At this time, Jonathan suddenly remembered Aaron who was struggling in the cafeteria, and he rubbed his chin a little hesitantly, "That kid appeared in the fortress before the pirate ship, but the timing of his appearance is still a bit coincidental...... But he's very different from what he looks like on the bounty (note). ”

"Well, anyway, just go to the cafeteria after dawn" Then, Jonathan put this behind him, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, slowly opened the curtains, and stared at the Merry who was slowly being pulled into the dock, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a confident smile, "And no matter what happens, our fortress." ”

"But that's not to be underestimated." After saying that, he casually closed the curtains, and at the same time, the subtitle "TO BE CONTINUED" appeared on the curtains.

Well, that's right, it's to be continued.

Note: Because the bounty was upgraded in Alabastan, the photo on Aaron's bounty is not the previous brother form, but the charismatic young pseudo-girl form that appeared when he beat Klockdahl, so Jonathan didn't recognize Aaron.

PS: Anyway, I didn't say what the bounty order looked like, so you should think that's it.

PS of PS: It's not that the author forgot to set it.
