Early morning.

The sun rises slowly over the horizon.

A ray of morning sun pierced through the darkness and shone near the cave, dyeing the cave golden.

Asuka grabbed the entrance of the cave with one hand, poked his head out and glanced around, and exclaimed.

"The power of nature is truly great, and it is amazing!"

As he spoke, he looked at Stussy and said very seriously.

"There is not the slightest trace of artificiality."

"Huh!"

Stussy let out a sneer and ignored the bird.

However, sensing his intention to enter the cave, Stussy immediately opened his eyes, grabbed Asuka by the arm with one hand, and blocked him.

"Don't go in."

"Oh!"

Asuka shook his head regretfully, and then he looked at Stussy with a serious look on his face and asked.

"Sister Stussy, do you want to leave?"

Hearing this, Stussy asked rhetorically, glaring at his bruised eyes.

"You've beaten me up, you're angry, do you still want to lock me up and not let me leave?"

"It's not impossible!"

Seeing that Asuka was still thinking about it seriously, Stussy was a little angry.

He must have found that he was as immature as a little girl, and he had some bad thoughts.

Thinking of this, she kicked the bird twice with her foot and warned.

"Don't have any bad thoughts, you're going to be in big trouble.

If you don't want your peaceful naval career to be shattered, stay away from me. ”

"You have a point!

Then I'll ask you a question, answer me, and let you go. ”

After glancing at Stussy, who was silent with his eyes closed, he turned to look at the rising sun in the distance and asked.

"What are you doing at the naval base this time?"

"Huh!"

Stussy chuckled and replied without thinking.

"Collect the evidence between you and Violet, find an opportunity to give it to Doflamingo in the future, gain Doflamingo's friendship, and then use his underground power to grow Happy Street again."

"Oh~ I see."

Asuka let out a dry sigh, then looked down at Stussy and continued.

"Did you collect it?"

"Nope!"

"It's okay, since you're so interested in this, then I'll offer it to you."

With that, Asuka wrapped Stussy in a cloak, slung it on his shoulders, and headed straight for the naval base.

...

At this time, the fishermen who went out to sea to fish in the early morning had already returned.

While the fishermen were unloading the seafood, they saw the birds carrying something and approaching from a distance.

Suddenly, the group stopped what they were doing and greeted the birds.

"Good morning, Colonel Asuka!"

"Colonel, it's so early!"

"Colonel, I have a bumper harvest here, you take two catties of fish and go."

Asuka smiled and waved at them, and walked straight back to the naval base.

Pushing open the door, Asuka pointed to Stussy on his shoulder, then looked at Violet, repeating what Stussy had said.

Looking at Stussy, whose cheeks were a little bruised, Asuka shook his head and spoke.

"Sister Stussy... It will take about five days for these bruises on your face to fade.

Five days should be enough time for you to collect evidence, right? ”

Stussy blinked at Asuka and then at Violet, who didn't explicitly refuse, and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

...

Five days later.

Stussy, who was the leader of the CP0 spy department, finally left the naval base.

In these five days, her ability to observe, detect, work under pressure, self-regulate, and perform...... and so on, all abilities have been greatly improved.

Even the ability to take pictures, the ability to record videos, has reached the master level.

After quickly adjusting his mood, Stussy turned to look at Violet, who was following him, and smiled.

"Princess Violet, in the future, I will visit you often in Dressrosa."

Violet lifted the small package on her back, which contained a Phantom Beast Species Devil Fruit.

Then, she looked at Stussy, who was going to travel with her to the New World, and smiled.

"Sister Stussy, welcome!"

"Are you really welcome?"

"Of course!"

As she spoke, Violet grabbed Stussy's arm and whispered in a low voice.

"Without Sister Stussy, I don't know how I would have spent those few days."

"Alas!"

Stussy sighed, and then she patted Violet's little hand and said softly.

"With you, my days were really sad!"

Boom! Boom!

The two brains crumbled into their heads, and Asuka was locked up in the cell, and the few remaining members of the Don Quixote family brought them over, and then walked quickly to the two of them and spoke.

"Can you two talk and don't be so yin and yang."

Watching Stussy cover his head and glaring at him, Asuka clasped his arms to his chest, not having a good airway.

"It's useless to stare at me, nothing happened between us, you are innocent, and I am innocent.

Don't try to rely on me.

You said you wanted to collect evidence. ”

Stussy's face froze at this, but then her expression returned, and then she looked up at Asuka and chuckled.

"Navy, you wait for me!!"

"Stussy, you mother-fetus solo for decades, life is all in your own hands, poor little pity..."

Seeing the bird mocking himself in a strange way, Stussy pinched Violet's arm and gritted his teeth.

"My mother is really unhappy now!"

"Sister Stussy, you're upset, can you not pinch me!"

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Stussy looked sideways at Violet and said slowly.

"Who made you cool.

My good sister, next, I will definitely go to Dressrosa, looking for you often. ”

...

After sending the group away, Asuka stood in the harbor and slowly exhaled as he looked at the big ship of the Don Quixote family, which was gradually turning into a small black dot.

Now the money is in place... Next... It is the construction of a naval base.

In the future, we will manage the island first, and then... Back to the Great Voyage...

A new era will soon begin.

As for the next, my own positioning...

Forget it, let's study the Devil Fruit and improve our strength again.

(Volume I, end.) ）

...

Four months later.

April 20, 1522 in the Haiyuan calendar.

The largest port in the Kingdom of Serrano, Salgado.

A large number of merchant ships and tourist ships dock here, and the town is bustling with people.

From time to time, you can see a certain illuminated square, where the circus performs, attracting a lot of tourists.

At this time, a warship docked in the harbor, and a group of navies stepped down from the warship.

The navy was juxtaposed in groups, and gradually walked towards the town in an orderly manner.

"Is this Salgado?

Colonel Asuka is amazing! ”

The leader was wearing a helmet with long red feathers at the top, long curly black hair, a bony face, and a missing upper tooth.

His eyes scanned his surroundings, first resting on the numerous heavy artillery at the shore defenses, and then resting on the bustling town ahead.

"I heard that Salgado was still occupied by pirates last year, but in such a short period of time, it has become so prosperous, and Colonel Asuka's governance ability is indeed very high."

"I heard that the new queen of the Serrano Kingdom has also contributed a lot to it.

It can be regarded as mutually beneficial and reciprocal with our navy. ”

Hearing the discussion of the sailors behind him, the navy wearing a helmet in front of him showed a terrifying smile on his face and spoke.

"In terms of governance, I'm not as good as Colonel Asuka."

"Hahaha, Penn, since you think the bird is so good at governance, then study hard, and he won't hide anything from you."

Suddenly, a heroic laugh came from behind, and when the sound was heard, Penn turned around and looked over.

The man was very old, he had long lost his hair on his head, he was wearing a brown suit and a navy cloak, and he walked like a high-ranking leader on patrol, with a big round belly, a cup of hot milk in one hand, and the other behind his back, quite a big leader, walking slowly towards Penn.

"Lieutenant General Gumir!"

Suck!

Gumir took a sip of the hot milk, and then he looked around at the prosperity around him, and couldn't help but nod and praise.

"Asuka did a good job, I thought he was teasing.

I didn't expect it to be so good. ”

With that, Gumir took two steps forward, reached out and patted Penn on the shoulder, and continued.

"You go and visit this town first, get acquainted with it, and in two or three months, after the matter is over on the Great Route, you will come to this base to take control."

"Yes!"

After seeing Penn leave, Gumir looked up at the bustling center of town, where the naval base towered high above.

"What are you doing with such a big naval base, boy... It's been a few months, and it's not been built yet...! ”

Looking at the unfinished base not far away, Gumir couldn't help but bared his teeth.

A few months later, the naval base was just taking shape.

Thinking of this, Gumir looked at the group of sailors around him and commanded.

"Scattered, scattered, sailed for so long, give you a day off.

We'll see you tomorrow! ”

"Yes!"

After sending the group of sailors away, Gumir walked unhurriedly towards the naval base.

An hour later.

He stood next to the bird chair, his face faintly dark.

At this time, I saw Asuka lying on a chair with a magazine on his face, facing the sun, and was snoring comfortably there.

Gumir glanced up at the clock on the wall.

Well...

It's already ten o'clock in the morning...

Thinking of this, Gumir came to the bird not far from the milk and put it on the table, and then he put his hands to his mouth in the shape of trumpets, came to the bird, bent down and shouted into the bird's ears.

"Boy, why don't you go and greet the old man."

Bang!

This voice directly woke up the sleeping bird.

At this time, Asuka sat on the floor, looking at Gumir standing in front of him with some confused eyes, and after a long while, he smashed his mouth and said in confusion.

"Old man, didn't you say come in the afternoon?"

"The old man was lucky today, and he encountered a smooth current!"

So saying, Gumir sat down on the chair where Asuka had just been sitting, reached out and picked up the magazine, and after reading it for a while, he took it into his arms, and then looked through the window to the town outside.

Opposite the desk, there is an extended balcony that surrounds the office and offers a panoramic view of the small town of Salgado.

"Good job, boy."

After taking the cigar from Asuka Bird, Gumir lit himself a cigar, put it in his mouth and took two sips, and continued.

"Your application for a mission to the East China Sea has been approved.

We'll just hand it over in a moment, and we'll do it. ”

Hearing this, Asuka raised an eyebrow at Gumir and wondered.

"Old man, you were exiled by the Marshal of the Warring States??"

Well?

Looking at the puzzled expression on Gumir's face, Asuka said in a low voice as he looked at the Navy Headquarters.

"Otherwise, how can you personally run this naval base in the four seas?"

"Whew!"

Spat a smoke ring at the ceiling, Gumir glanced at the bird and said slowly.

"Who wants to sit in such a small place.

The old man's use is only in the great route.

It's not that he has no one available for the Warring States, plus the matter of Jerma some time ago was too big, which made those member countries panic, and the world government put pressure on the Warring States.

Sengoku shifted the pressure to me. ”

"So, old man, how long are you going to be in charge?"

"In a month, when I have reconciled Jerma and the rest of the kings, I will leave."

After all... Two people stared at each other with big eyes...

Asuka stood up, patted the dust off his buttocks, and instructed.

"Then old man, pay attention to your body, the North Sea pirates are very enthusiastic."

"Don't worry, the old man has stopped drinking coffee recently, and has changed to milk, and he is very energetic."

"Okay, then I'm leaving!"

"Let's go, let's go, I'll see you at the headquarters in a month."

Asuka took two steps and then stepped back again, and he looked at Gumir, who was lying in a chair reading a magazine, and spoke.

"Have dinner in the evening?"

"Please?"

"I don't have any money, Penn is going to be the base captain, he please."

Speaking of this, Asuka looked at Gumir in surprise and wondered.

"Where's your money, old man?"

Gumir put down the magazine, put his hands in his pockets, and after digging twice, he gestured to the bird for the empty pocket, and said helplessly.

"Oh, some time ago, I smashed down a house in the headquarters, and I lost all the money."

"Whose house?!"

"Warring States."

"Oh, then I almost know why the Warring States Marshal sent you to Beihai."

...

PS: Alas!

Luffy finally went to sea.

Alas!

Before New Year's Day, strive for the top.

The day is over.
