Chapter 383: Lost

Bang!

As the warship approached, Asuka commanded the group of sailors behind him, with a cigar in his mouth.

"The old rule, take a day off, give you a day off.

I'll go to town first and buy some fruit for Colonel Monka. ”

This time, there were about hundreds of outstanding recruits from the entire East China Sea who joined the training camp of the headquarters, and Asuka came to pick up this group of people.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

It will take almost a month to pick them all up.

Da! Da! Da!

As Asuka led the group down the escalator, he saw the plough come out of the line and walk towards him.

"Colonel Asuka, long time no see!"

Hearing this, Asuka bared his teeth at the plow, stepped forward, and patted his shoulder with his big hand, and smiled without smiling.

"Hahaha, it's been a long time since I've seen Plowpa, thanks to you, now Magino seems weird to me!"

Feeling the numb shoulders of the birds, the smile on Lipa's face suddenly became a little far-fetched.

Can she be blamed for this?

It can only be said that women understand women best, and his daughter-in-law really understands Magino too well.

Thinking of the draft love letters at home, Lipa winked at Asuka and asked in a low voice.

"Colonel, when are you going to see Miss Magino?"

"Heh~"

Asuka sneered, and his big hand continued to pat the plow's shoulder.

"I'm not welcome..."

Hiss!

Lipa took a breath of cool air.

It shouldn't be... Some time ago, Miss Magino and her wife didn't say that...

...

The seamen who came to greet Asuka at Base 153, many of them had an impression of Asuka only in the oral accounts of those veterans, after all, Colonel Asuka had not returned to Base 153 for three years.

Over here... It has long become a matter of things and people...

"Gollum~"

"Is this Colonel Asuka who was desperate and wanted to be recommended to the headquarters?"

One of the sailors who greeted him looked at Asuka's oppressive body, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva, he had thought that Colonel Monka's momentum was already very strong.

But he didn't expect that today this Colonel Asuka was just standing there, not even pulling out his weapon, and his momentum was not revealed, which gave him an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"Back then, it was said that Colonel Asuka was the right-hand man of our base chief.

In order not to delay the future of the other party, the base commander was reluctant to send him to the Navy Headquarters for further study.

It is said that now Colonel Asuka has made a name for himself in that devilish sea. ”

"A little fame?"

An old sailor was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he looked at the recruit who had just spoken.

"Tsk."

After a slurp in his mouth, the old sailor's eyes lit up as he looked at the recruit, and then he walked out of the queue, came to the recruit's side, put his arm around the recruit's shoulder, and whispered.

"Colonel Asuka has no more than a small reputation on the Great Voyage.

Know One Piece Roger?

The crew of One Piece Roger, who once fought with Colonel Asuka, won or lost.

If you're interested, I'll tell you more about it in the evening, just the two of us. ”

Somehow, the recruit always felt that the old guy's speech was a little chilly.

"No, forget it, thank you for the kindness."

Although he didn't understand what the old sailor wanted to say to him, out of instinct, he still refused, and he subconsciously lowered his head and didn't look at the face that seemed to be very manly.

"Lipa, where's that bastard Belrumeber?"

Hearing Asuka's inquiry, Lipa stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the hospital, and said in a low voice.

"Now... Master Berumeber has been hung up with a rope.

He hung at the entrance of the hospital, and it was said that he was making amends to Lord Monka.

In recent times, my wife has often heard Colonel Monka's wife complaining...

It is said that our Colonel Monka's wife said that she suspected that her husband's inability might have been blown up by that bastard from Berumeber. ”

"Oh~"

Asuka let out a long sigh and gave him a meaningful look.

This guy's wife... There are a lot of sources...

Not only did he know the news of Magino, but even the news of Colonel Monca's house.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Lei Jiu, who was following behind him, deliberately stopped, and asked when Lei Jiu walked to his side.

"Is there any poison like that?"

Reiku glanced Asuka up and down and said slowly.

"It's three parts poison, and poison is very poisonous... Are you trying to kill Captain Monkaki and then take the throne yourself? ”

"Forget it!

I also want to revive Colonel Monka's prestige. ”

Thinking of this, Asuka patted Plowpa's shoulder and instructed.

"Lipa, I'll go to town first and buy some fruit for Colonel Monka, and I'll be back in a moment.

After all, I didn't expect to come back this time, and I actually have to visit the hospital... It's rude not to bring a bit of a fruit monster..."

Shave!

Lipa blinked, looked at the bird that suddenly disappeared in front of him, and sighed.

"Colonel Asuka is so fast!"

Hearing the dripping of the plough, Reiku's eyelids lifted twice, and a toxin instantly occurred in his mind.

That poison... Can make men faster...

Scold!

...

"This town is much more prosperous than it was three years ago!"

Looking at the Selz Town in front of him, which was many times more prosperous than three years ago, Asuka gave a thumbs up to Monka in his heart, this guy doesn't say anything else, this level of governance is the same as his own.

But...

He stood at the entrance of the town, looked at the golden statue of Monka in the center of the town, and said subconsciously.

"How much does this statue cost?"

"1,000,000 Baileys a month."

???

Hearing the voice in his ears, Asuka looked at the civilian who had just spoken with a puzzled expression.

"Little brother, outsider?"

"No, I just haven't been back for a few years, and when I came back, I realized that the town of Shields had changed so much."

Speaking of which, Asuka pointed to the golden statue of Monka and continued.

"Brother, that statue... What does 1,000,000 Bailey mean a month? ”

Following Asuka's finger, the civilian looked at the statue of Munka with emotion on his face, and then he explained.

"As Lord Monka's reputation grew louder in the East China Sea, we erected a statue of Lord Monka in the middle of the town, and while we admired it, we used it to deter pirates.

Later, garbage was often burned at the uncertain end of the kingdom of Goa, and there was a small accident because the statue of Lord Monka was a little too tall..."

Thinking of the blackened stone carvings of the garbage, the civilian's cheeks twitched, and then he took the initiative to change the subject.

"Anyway, the old statue is discarded, and we replace it with a golden balloon, and every month it is replaced, and every month is new.

The merchants outside like to do business here, because it's too safe, don't worry about pirates, there are not even gangs here, and no one collects protection money, so no one raises prices, and the goods here become very cheap.

Although it is said to be a marginal area of the East China Sea, there are still many merchants who come here to sell goods on this route.

After all, merchant ships that come here to peddle goods can enjoy the escort of warships within the 153 sea area and nearby waters. ”

"Of course, this is all because of the presence of Colonel Monka and Lieutenant Colonel Lipa, who are our protectors, one is stationed on the island, and the other is outside to clear the pirates, it is impossible for any pirates to enter here, and we don't need to bring weapons when we go fishing on weekdays.

The pirates outside didn't dare to come to this place at all under the vigorous blows of Colonel Monka.

Even after sneaking here, when they see this golden statue of the Monk Balloon, they will clinch their tails and be honest.

I'm telling you..."

"Huh??"

As soon as he said this, he saw the guy next to him disappear.

"What a strange man."

But...

The civilian thought back to the guy he had just chatted with, and his eyes were a little puzzled, why he always felt that he was a little familiar.

Have you seen him somewhere before?

By this time, Asuka had arrived in town, and when he learned that the giant statue was a balloon, he immediately lost interest in it.

Flashy stuff.

I guess Monka likes this.

As the town of Shelds became more and more prosperous and the flow of people increased, the area of the town was not enough, and Monka waved his hand and began a huge expansion project.

The whole town was probably three times larger than it was before the bird left.

And then...

"I seem to be lost..."

As a bird who entered the newly renovated town for the first time, he looked at the civilians and traders around him a little blankly, and the shop selling fruit in his memory was obviously here...

What used to be a fruit shop has now become a tall restaurant.

Asuka rubbed his temples, casually reached out and pulled a person next to him, and asked.

"Hello, may I ask, how do I get to the fruit shop?"

"Huh? Asking for directions? ”

"Ah, yes, I just came back to Shelds today, and it's changed so much, I remember three years ago it was a fruit shop."

Looking at the restaurant in front of him, the passer-by tilted his head to look at the confused Asuka and said in a big voice.

"Come with me, I'll take you there, with my fingers, I'm afraid you'll have to get lost."

"Thank you so much, you met a good person today!"

Asuka looked at this very strange town of Shields with great emotion, although the town has become more unfamiliar, but the civilians in the town are still so simple.

What a nice man.

"You're a swordsman?"

Hearing the inquiry of the guy next to him, Asuka crossed his hands behind his head and said without thinking.

"Yes."

Looking at the unfamiliar scene around him, he continued to sigh.

"What a change in Shelds."

"yes!"

The civilian also clasped his hands behind his head, and sighed as he led the way to the bird.

"The first time I came down the mountain, I was lost here for a long time."

"It seems that I'm not the only one who is lost, the construction of this town is a little unreasonable, and when I go back, I will suggest Colonel Monka, it is better to get a map of the town of Shelds, it is really too unfriendly to outsiders."

Then, Asuka took out a cigar from his arms, took out one, lowered his head and handed it to the aunt who led the way, and spoke.

"One for one?!"

The man turned to look at the bird and shook his head.

She doesn't smoke this thing.

The four eyes are facing each other... Asuka was stunned...

This guy...

This guy...

He has a broad physique, curly orange hair tied up behind his head, gold earrings on his ears, a white shirt on his upper body, dark green plaid trousers on his lower body, brown boots on his feet, and a red beaded necklace around his neck.

After looking at it for a while, Asuka lit the cigar and said in a quiet tone.

"Has the bandit been expelled from the thief now??

I remember that the bandits seem to be under the control of the navy, right??

Dadan... Do you want to eat jail food? ”

After hearing Asuka say that she was invited to eat in prison, Dadan's face suddenly froze, she didn't like to go down the mountain, after all, the villagers were afraid of their own people, but recently Luffy was going to sea, and she came to the town to buy something for Luffy.

And then it was actually recognized???

Luffy... You probably won't be able to wait for my dinner...

...

PS: There is still it at night.

[Alas, to be honest, when Dadan was young, he was really a beauty... If only the timeline crossed was early... I feel like there's a chance...]
