In the cafeteria of the temporary headquarters of the expeditionary force, Luffy holds a barbecue leg in his right hand and a meat steak in his left hand, his mouth is full, and he gulps down food.

Zoro and Sanji, who were sitting opposite Luffy, although they were not as bold as Luffy, were also eating in large gulps, and they didn't seem to worry about the outcome after the meal.

Only Usopp was sobbing, his whole body trembling all the time, and he couldn't even hold the food steadily.

The yellow ape sat on the main seat at the end of the rectangular table, with a separate dish in front of him, and he ate very elegantly.

Everyone had eaten for more than half an hour, and the dishes in front of the yellow ape had already been removed, and he leaned back in his chair and smoked his cigar leisurely.

Luffy's stomach bulged into a ball, Sanji and Zoro also ate well, only Usopp ate very little because he was afraid.

"Hiccup! I'm full! Luffy, who was full, sat down in a chair and looked at Luffy at the end of the table.

Sanji and Zoro also looked at the yellow ape, their eyes sharp.

"Now that you're all fed, it's time to hit the road." The yellow ape smiled.

As soon as the yellow ape's words came out, Luffy and the others left their seats and stood up, and even the most timid Usopp also supported the table with his hands and barely stood up.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, Luffy and several people knew that they had little hope of defeating this group, but as a man, since Luffy had been selected as the captain and chosen to become a pirate, it was impossible for them to give up their identity as pirates in order to survive.

"Oh ho! What a scary look! Being stared at by several people, the yellow ape said with a smile, and at the same time left his position and stood up.

The yellow ape put his hands in his pockets and walked towards Luffy step by step, which made Usopp, who was standing next to Luffy, tremble even more.

Stopping in front of Luffy, the yellow ape looked down and said, "Give you one last chance, give up being a pirate, and I'll let you go." As long as you are here, tell me in front of me that you are no longer a pirate, and I will let you go, even if you are deceiving me. ”

"Impossible! My dream is to become the King of the Pirates! Luffy replied firmly.

"Luffy! Let's promise him! Just a word. Usopp said to Luffy.

Luffy didn't speak, he held his head high and looked at the yellow ape without flinching.

"Zoro, Sanji, hurry up and persuade Luffy!" Seeing that Luffy didn't speak, Usopp turned his eyes in the direction of Zoro and Sanji, hoping that the two would speak out together to persuade Luffy.

Sauron's hand rested on the hilt of his sword, "Those who have given up their dreams and lived, but those who have survived." ”

Sanji lit a cigarette for himself and said in a deep voice, "Green algae, you finally don't hate it that much today." ”

"I mean, what do you guys think?" Usopp couldn't understand, he thought that everyone could survive as long as they were soft here, so why not do it?

"Luffy!" Usopp looked back at Luffy.

This time, Luffy responded, he suddenly raised his right hand and punched Usopp in the face, knocking him unconscious.

"From now on, he's not my companion, he's not a pirate!" Luffy glanced at Usopp, who had fallen to the ground unconscious, and said to the yellow ape.

The yellow ape looked down at Usopp who was lying on the ground, then nodded and said in a loud voice, "Take him down and treat him well." ”

The voice landed, and a ninja suddenly appeared, half-crouched on the ground and lifted Usopp up, and then led him out of the cafeteria.

After Usopp was taken away, the scene fell silent, and Yellow Ape left the cafeteria with Luffy and walked towards the beach.

Walking to the beach, the yellow ape stopped on a pile of rubble, and behind him, the Golden Merry docked on the shore.

"Luffy!" On the Merry, Nami was standing at the bow of the ship, waving her arms downward.

Seeing Nami and Merry, Luffy and the three of them were a little surprised and a little puzzled, and they didn't know what the yellow ape meant?

"Didn't I say that? I'll send you on your way after eating. The yellow ape said with a smile.

Zoro snorted coldly, his right hand leaving the hilt, he felt like he was being played.

Sanji threw away the cigarette in his hand and ran quickly to the bottom of the boat, looking at Nami at the bow with peach blossoms in his eyes, "Miss Nami, do you want to leave with me?" ”

"I heard that you are going to the Great Voyage, and I need Nami to draw a map of the Great Voyage from the East China Sea to the Great Voyage, so I will let her sail with you for the time being, and she will be left to your care."

What the yellow ape said was half-true, and he really needed detailed charts to prepare for the occupation of the East China Sea and the attack on the great shipping route.

But he didn't really need Nami to follow Luffy and them on the voyage, he could have arranged a team of ninjas to protect Nami and go to sea to draw a map.

The reason why Nami was asked to follow Luffy and them sailed was because Nami took the initiative after knowing her mission, and she wanted to temporarily serve as Luffy's navigator until Luffy and they found a suitable navigator, which was also Nami's compensation to Luffy.

The yellow ape agreed to Nami's request, and anyway, Nami and Luffy went to sea with them, and it didn't affect the drawing of the chart.

"I've prepared the supplies for you." Yellow Ape said to Luffy.

"Thank you, uncle!" Luffy smiled happily.

"Uncle? Am I that old? The yellow ape touched his cheek.

After Luffy thanked the yellow ape, he didn't forget Usopp, he offered to pick up Usopp, and he didn't dislike Usopp at all because of Usopp's greed for life and fear of death.

Before he left the cafeteria, he informed his ninjas through a teleportation and asked them to bring Usopp to the ship.

——

Sengoku had a headache, a very headache, and after Mary Joya was attacked, he, as a naval marshal, was already under great pressure from the side of the world government.

After the Assassin Brotherhood announced responsibility for the attack in the newspapers, the pressure on Sengoku increased, as this mysterious new force emerged, representing a new chaos descending on the sea.

The navy is exhausted just by maintaining the existing maritime order, and the emergence of this new variable will have a huge impact on the order that the navy has worked so hard to maintain.

This was the first premonition that arose in Sengoku's heart after learning about the Assassin Brotherhood.

Sengoku's hunch was correct, and in just half a month before the Assassin Brotherhood appeared, he had already received information from many naval bases and the World Government.

The kings and nobles of the various confederates of the world were assassinated by members of the Assassin Brotherhood, and all of them were killed.

The murder of the king and his ministers led to civil strife in these member states, and the naval bases stationed in these countries, as well as nearby naval bases, had to send troops to help quell the civil strife.

As a result, the naval bases in these places were in a shortage of personnel, and they were all reporting for support.

At the same time, with the murder of several kings and nobles, the kings and nobles of other convendious countries are also in danger.

Many kings and nobles demanded that the navy garrison be increased to ensure their safety.

The world government also requires the navy to do its best to maintain the security of its member states, especially the king.

Such a request doubles the pressure on the warring states, you must know that most of the navy's forces are placed on the great route, and they need to monitor the pirates who are rampaging the great route, especially the second half of the route.

Monitoring and fighting pirates consumes most of the navy's military strength, especially mid-to-high-end combat power.

Under such circumstances, the Navy simply does not have much combat power to protect the security of these member states.

There are many ordinary soldiers, but these grassroots navies can't play a role in protection at all, and if you want to protect those kings and nobles, you need at least officers at the rank of colonel or even general in the department.

Not enough, not enough manpower at all!

During this period of time, the Warring States period is called a sorrow! On the one hand, he had to face pressure from the world government, and on the other hand, he had to appease the opinions of his subordinates and draw men from various bases to protect some of the more important member states.

It's hard! It's so hard!

In the past half a month, there has not been a single day of comfort in the Warring States!

"Hahaha! Sengoku, I'm going to eat your senbei by me. ”

Sengoku walks into his office and encounters something even worse, Karp, a bastard with no conscience, who is angry with himself at such a time.

The green tendons on his forehead burst out directly, and he walked into the office, and roared: "Karp, you bastard!" If I don't have anything to do, I'll go to sea to capture the Assassin Brotherhood. ”

"Can't catch it!" Karp sat on the couch and snapped up his nose.

Karp looks reckless on the outside, but he is not stupid at all, those Assassin Brotherhood people, out of nowhere, trying to catch them in the vast sea is no less than looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Those guys did a good job, god."

"Shut up!" Sengoku stopped his old friend from saying something bad.

Seeing that his old friend was in a bad mood, Karp closed his mouth and continued to eat senbei.

Sengoku walked back to his place and sat down, looked at Karp and said, "There is a mission that requires you to go to sea. ”

Karp looked at Sengoku, "What mission?" ”

"The people on the CP organization's side have discovered the suspected murderer of the attack on the Holy Land Mary Joy, they are not that person's opponent, and the world government has asked us to help." Sengoku picked up the file on the table, on which was drawn the head of a blind man with black hair.

"Those guys are going to ask us for help?" Karp snapped his nose in disgust, "I'm not going." ”

Sengoku slammed the table and yelled, "You have to go!" ”

"Cut! Got it. Karp finally pulled out the boogers and flicked them off with his fingers.

A black line wrinkle appeared on Sengoku's forehead, and he said patiently: "The target this time is suspected to have the combat power close to that of a general, and has the ability to manipulate gravity, and it may be a Devil Fruit ability that has eaten a lot of fruits." ”

"I see." When it came to business, Karp was a little more serious.

"The Pheasant will set out with you, you must capture this man alive, we need to interrogate him to get more information about the Assassin Brotherhood." Sengoku admonished.

It's not just Sengoku who has a headache and is upset, Fujitora is located on a small island in the middle of the great shipping route, and he also has a headache.

He didn't know what was going on recently, and he was inexplicably targeted by the people of the world government.

As a good person who is reasonable, Fujitora smiled at these agents, initially wanting to be reasonable.

But it's a pity that the agents of the CP organization don't give him a chance to reason, or even a chance to speak.

As soon as the agents appeared, they surrounded Fujitora with a smile, yelled for him to surrender, and then attacked him.

Fuji Tiger is a good person, but not an indiscriminate good person, in the face of such an unreasonable agent, Fuji Tiger chose to fight back and easily knocked them down.

Out of kindness, Fujitora smiled and did not kill these agents after defeating them, but left them alive, hoping that through communication, the misunderstanding between the two sides would be resolved.

Unfortunately, after seeing Fujitora's ability to smile, these agents became even more convinced that he was the murderer of the attack on the Holy Land of Mary Joy.

In the face of these stubborn and unreasonable agents, Fuji Tiger had no choice but to knock them out and choose to leave.

After this, Fujitora Yixiao's peaceful life was completely shattered, and he was attacked by agents many times in a row, and these guys decided that he was the murderer, no matter how he explained it.

No matter how good the old man is, he will be angry in the face of the completely unreasonable attacks of these agents.

After the seventh attack, Fujitora laughed and hit hard, severely injuring all the dozen or so agents besieging him.

In order to get rid of the continuous harassment of these annoying agents, Fuji Tiger smiled in more than ten days, he had taken a boat to change three islands to settle down, but it was still useless, those guys were like ghosts that couldn't be shaken off, and they could always find him.

With a top-level insight and domineering appearance, he can always find the tracking and surveillance of unknown people who are suspected of being agents.

The peaceful life of the past will never come back.

After playing a few games in the town's gambling hall and relaxing his depressed mood, Fujitora left the town with a smile, and he once again noticed that someone was watching and following him.

Walking into the tree-lined path, Fuji Tiger stopped under a big tree with traces of time, and went to sit under the tree.

Although he was blind, Fuji Tiger smiled and acted, no different from ordinary people, and he couldn't see that he was blind at all.

It's a blessing not to be able to see things, there are too many dirty and dirty people in the world who can't bear to look at, which may be the reason why Fuji Tiger smiled and closed his eyes.

He is a very kind person who has his own insistence on justice.

But this time, even the most amiable person will be angry.

Fujitora smiled and understood why the agents wanted to capture him, and they suspected that he was the murderer who attacked the Holy Land of Mary Joy.

It is the duty of these people to arrest criminals, Fuji Tiger smiled and was not angry, he was angry that these people were unreasonable, no matter how he showed his attitude and explained it, these people were not willing to listen.

With no evidence, no investigation, and no willingness to even listen to their own explanations, they unilaterally convict themselves.

Such an unreasonable power is very disliked by Fuji Hu's smile!

"Little brother, come out!" Fujitora smiled and looked in the direction of the visitor.

A young man with blond hair and a gentle smile on his face walked out.
