Jacó Islands, West Rob Village Harbor.

A small boat slowly rowed from the shoreline, a tall pink-haired man stepped down from the small boat, carried a backpack in one hand, pulled the rope with the other, dragged the boat to the shore, found a branch on the shore, and thrust it into the ground, and the rope was wrapped around the branch.

Then, looking up at the steep uphill in front of him, four children were glaring at each other.

"This guy got off the warship!"

"It's definitely a great big guy. ”

"Is it the Navy? Run, Captain, he must have heard about your incident and came to arrest you. ”

The three children were only about a meter tall and talking, and the one that stood out was a long nose, and Hobodi felt familiar when he saw his face.

Isn't this guy Punk Hazard's companion to Monchi D. Luffy four years later?

Seeing that his legs were trembling, and the horror in his pupils could not be concealed, Hopodi flashed a hint of mockery, this kid really believed those three little ghosts, thinking that he was here to arrest him?

Hobodi was not interested in continuing to spend time with the four children, the scorching afternoon sun above his head was so hot that he reached into the backpack on his back......

At this time, Usopp's pupils suddenly contracted, and beads of sweat kept dripping down his forehead, what did he see...... The tall man in front of him, the huge black muzzle exposed from the backpack behind him.

That's -- rifles?

Is he going to kill me directly?

Thinking of this, Usopp couldn't hide his fear, and hurriedly said: "Wait, although I am the captain of the Usopp Pirates, I have not done anything bad to the people of the village, and even I protect them. ”

"That's right, onion, green pepper, turnip~?" Usopp turned around, and the three children nodded immediately.

"So, please don't shoot me again. I won't pretend to be a pirate in the future......" Usopp was afraid that Hobodi would make another move, so he hurriedly used a forty-five degree kneeling method to come to Hopodi's eyes and grabbed his thighs tightly.

What is this...... Speechless, Hobodi took out a kettle from his backpack behind his back and poured it into his mouth with a few sips.

"Putting these things aside! Do you go to the location of the 76th branch of the Navy?"

"Eh, Navy 76 Branch?" Usopp finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Hopodi's hand that was taken out of his backpack was not an expected rifle, "What, you're not here to arrest me." ”

"I'm the new commander of the headquarters stationed on this island, and as long as it's a pirate, it's within my arrest. Hobodi didn't mind intimidating the kid again.

"Please don't do that!" Usopp breathed a sigh of relief, hugging Hopodi's thigh again, for fear that he would make a move.

Hopodi laughed, "Get up! I'm not interested in catching a ghost like you." ”

After a while, Hopodi asked a few more questions and asked them to take him to the naval branch base stationed on the island.

The three children were excited to discover something new, while Usopp was trembling and frightened along the way, and the idea of conspiracy theories was rife with the idea that he would be arrested by the man in front of him once he arrived at the naval base, and his face was already desperate.

"But it's really strange, since you're going to the Seventy-Six Branch, and there's a dedicated naval port in the town next door, why did you stop in our village?"

Hobodi was speechless for a while, and then slapped him on the head: "Why do children know so much?"

Hobodi couldn't have said in front of these imps that he was on the wrong track.

Following the uphill road into the village, several winding mountain village paths, Hobodi gradually saw the people in this small village, and on the road, some villagers cast strange eyes, and faintly heard some bad words.

Things like, 'The little crooks are cheating again,' 'Are the pirates coming again?', 'What's weird, have you finally been caught?'

"What's going on?" Hobodi wondered.

The three little devils looked at Usopp in unison: "Because the captain loves to lie!"

"What are you three guys telling you the truth?" Usopp yelled in exasperation.

The three little imps looked at Hobodi with a look of expression, "Look, the captain thinks so too." ”

With Usopp leading the way, a few more mountain village paths were crossed, on an uphill road leading to a luxury estate.

"Ah, isn't this Usopp~!" a man in a gentle suit with hair combed like a pair of sheep's horns said, turning around. Then, he cautiously looked at Hopodi's clothes and saw the cloak behind his back, and hesitated: "This is ...... Mr. Navy? Did you catch Usopp because he was a pirate? Usopp wasn't a pirate, he was just playing pirate games with the kids in the village, and he was a bit of a liar. ”

"yes! Hearing this, Usopp was like a lifesaver, and hurriedly said: "You can also help me talk! This guy said that I should lead the way, and I will definitely be arrested when I get to the naval base." ”

"I'm really just letting you lead the way, catching you as a little role as an imposter pirate, I'm not idle enough yet. Hobodi was helpless.

Next to the man in the suit, who was known as Merry, there was also a tall and thin man with a big back and round-rimmed glasses, who stared at Hopodi suspiciously: "Could this naval gentleman be the new commander stationed at the naval base in the next town?"

"Huh?" Hopodi looked at him, "Are you?"

"I'm Krabatel, the butler of the Boya Manor. The man pushed his eyes, and the strange gesture caught Hopodi's attention.

Hopodi wondered, "How did you hear this?"

"Because I often go to the next town to buy, I will pass by the naval base, I heard about it some time ago. Krabatel smiled gently.

"Really?" Hobodi stared at him meaningfully, intuitively, he felt that this butler was a little suspicious, although the eyes hidden by the lenses could not be seen clearly, but the movement of pushing the glasses just now, he would definitely not be mistaken.

Ordinary people will never use the joints of their palms to push lenses, only people who hold weapons in their hands all the year round, or knives or guns or swords, because they are afraid that the weapon in their hands will cut the lenses, they will carefully use the joints to push the lenses.

It's just that this suspicion doesn't prove anything, and besides, Hobodi has just arrived in the area under his jurisdiction and has not yet taken office, so it's too early to be suspicious.

It is time to investigate later.

"I'm a lieutenant from the Navy Headquarters, and I'm also the new commander of the naval base stationed in the Jacco Islands from today, although it's not far away, but if there are pirates who don't have long eyes to log in, you can go to the 76th branch to inform me as soon as possible. ”

"Is Mr. Navy from the Great Passage?" said Merry, delighted, "and this is really reassuring to us residents of the Jacco Islands." ”

"Yes~ In this way, the safety of our island is also guaranteed. Krabatel also smiled, and an unknown light shimmered under the reflective lenses.

Hopodi smiled and nodded to the two of them, and then continued on his way: "Let's go, Usopp." ”

Usopp hurriedly responded, and he was still caught up in Merry's words.

This man is actually coming back from the Great Passage!?

Is it the same sea area as your pirate father?
