The evening sea breeze blew up circles of sparkling white waves, lapping on the beach. The pirate flag with a blood-red skull on it fluttered in the wind, making a hunting sound.
There was silence on the deck, a pindrop could be heard.
Everyone stared dumbly at the tall figure that suddenly appeared in the middle of the crowd, and the shock in their hearts was hard to express.
Navy Headquarters, Vice Admiral!
There are few people in the Grand Line who have not heard of the terrifying Lieutenant Generals. Although they are not recognized as the top combat force in the world like the three generals, it is still very easy to arrest a big pirate with a bounty of hundreds of millions. They are the most important backbone of the navy. .
The pirates of the Garrote Pirates knew that their captain was in a hurry to escape because of the navy's appearance, but they had never heard of it...
The opponent is a lieutenant general from the headquarters! ! !
How to fight this? !
The total bounty of their entire group is less than 100 million beli. If everyone joins together, it may not be enough for the other party to fight with one hand!
"Who are you… !!!"
Garrott, who printed a humanoid outline on the deck, raised his head with difficulty. After seeing Ron's face clearly, he was horrified for a moment.
"Immortal Lieutenant General, Ron!!"
Wow!
Hearing this name, the pirates were in an uproar. Even Yixiao, who was standing still in the distance, was slightly surprised and frowned silently.
"Huh? You actually know me?"
Zizzi!
Ron took out a cigar from his arms, lit it and bit it in his mouth: "Didn't you expect that I am already so famous?"
This small pirate group that only dares to hide in remote areas has heard of my name. It seems that I am also a famous person!
(￣￣)
After finishing speaking, Ron exhaled a puff of smoke and suddenly shook his head without waiting for Garrott's answer: "Forget it, it's not important..."
"Are you interested in chatting? Mr. Yixiao... for the sake of helping you protect the hostages."
Ron looked up at Yixiao and extended an invitation.
The latter must have distrust of the Navy, otherwise it would not explain the fact that he has been wandering the sea for decades without having any entanglement with the Navy, and it is impossible for him to be friendly with Ron.
He became a general because he saw an opportunity to change the navy and implement benevolence and justice, instead of willingly becoming a lackey of the government and wanting to achieve success.
In response to this, he smiled and remained silent, and asked after a moment: "A few days ago... the one who secretly photographed the old man on Navi Island was a spy from your navy?"
"As expected... Well, although I'm not surprised at all that you would find them, it's still shameless to say such a thing..."
Ron nodded generously and admitted, then his expression changed, and he looked at him with meaningful eyes and smiled.
"But it's not 'our navy', it's just my g10 branch, in my name!"
Not the Navy, but Ron
I was shocked when I smiled, and then I seemed to realize something.
"In that case..."
Zi... Cang!
The right hand held a beautiful sword flower, and the small dagger was slowly put into the scabbard.
"Then I would like to hear what Lieutenant General Immortal wants from me..."
"Thank you! Wait a moment..."
Hearing what Yixiao said, Ron nodded, then looked down at Garrott who hid his hand under his body and filled the flintlock musket with gunpowder.
"Hey, are you kidding me by doing a little trick in front of the enemy?"
"you?!!"
Garrott, who was preparing for a sneak attack, was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly raised his pistol.
Buzz!
Thundercloud suddenly appeared in his hand, and Ron chopped Garrott into two pieces with a casual slash.
Boom... click! !
This sword not only cut off Garrot's life, but also cut open the pirate ship, but did not damage the keel at the bottom of the ship, like an opened coconut shell.
The villagers who were locked up in the cabin on the deck looked up in shock and cast an incredulous look at Ron, who was holding a cigar in his mouth.
"You are safe, go home..."
…
A few minutes later, with the burning light of the pirate ship, Ron and Yixiao sat opposite each other on the beach, with several large jars of spirits in front of them.
Yixiao found a kettle to warm the wine in a very elegant manner, then held the wine glass in both hands and sipped it. His wrinkled old Chinese face was full of enjoyment... For Yixiao who was "poor" at this time, Garrot was disappointed. Good wine is a rare luxury.
Ron didn't like drinking, he mainly drank with a smile.
After a few glasses of wine, Ron said slowly: "Mr. Yixiao doesn't seem to be surprised at all. Why did the navy come to see me incognito?"
"No, I'm curious!"
Yixiao put down the wine glass, shook his head, but immediately smiled and said: "But those don't matter... Since Lieutenant General Ron appears in front of the old man, it means that Lieutenant General Ron is fully confident about this trip."
"In that case, it doesn't matter what the cause is."
Speaking of this, he said with a smile and a hint.
"To be honest, I would also like to thank Lieutenant General Ron for ordering the soldiers not to disturb me, otherwise I would have had a headache for a while, old man."
"Hahaha, I was rude about this! Come on, let me toast you!"
"Don't take it seriously, Lieutenant General Ron please!"
Bang!
After clinking the cups and gulping down the drinks, Ron continued: "Since Mr. Yixiao is so generous, I won't be shy."
After saying that, Ron put down his wine glass and looked at him solemnly with a smile.
"I came here today to ask Mr. Yixiao to take action!"
Yixiao frowned slightly, raised his head, and asked doubtfully: "Is there anything that Lieutenant General Ron can't do with his current power and status?"
Ron knew Yixiao very well, and Yixiao also knew Ron very well.
From the very beginning when he stood out in the year-end test of the recruit camp, to the killing of the Hell Island Crab, and the defeat of Crocodile, Doflamingo and two Shichibukai, no one, no matter how arrogant, would dare to face such glorious achievements. Looked down on Ron because of his youth.
At the same time, as for this super rookie emerging from the Navy, his character is being probed by various forces.
From the time Ron showed up deliberately to make Garrott feel suspicious and chose to leave until Yixiao arrived, less than five hours had passed. To be able to maintain such efficient information transmission while Gat Island was blocked, Yixiao must be able to investigate the source of the intelligence behind it. Ron many things.
In Yixiao's eyes, Ron is a navy who does not distinguish between black and white, but is just and reliable.
He is smart, powerful, and completely obeys the navy's orders, regardless of whether the blood of innocents or thugs is on his hands. At the same time, he has a unique dark view of justice and does not blindly believe in the government's dogma. He is a very thoughtful young man.
It's not a good thing to make such people feel troublesome and have to come to ask for help. Yixiao guarantees that it is definitely not a good thing!
"That's a lot!"
Regarding Yixiao's question, Ron smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "The navy has as much power as it has responsibilities. As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."
"But after all, I am a member of the system. I can't do things like a pirate without knowing how to advance or retreat. That's why I deliberately disturbed you today."
With great power comes great responsibility
With a smile in front of me... my heart lit up, and I agreed with this statement.
This was exactly the case for him. After gaining great power, he thought he had to do something to help the precarious people, so he began to act chivalrously.
Otherwise, his true combat power is comparable to that of a general, and he can do it with success no matter what he does!
If he goes to sea and becomes a thief, even the Four Emperors will treat him as a guest!
The reason for not joining the navy is the same as what Ron said...the navy is not a pirate after all!
It’s too restrictive and obscure!
After drinking this bowl of ecstasy water honestly, Ron's sense of smile finally changed.
"I hope Lieutenant General Ron will not make any requests that will embarrass the old man..."
Done!
Ron was overjoyed and smiling.
"Don't worry, I will never violate Mr. Yixiao's creed."
"I just want to ask Mr. Yixiao to kill a villain...a pirate named Edward Weeble!"

Two more updates first. The grandson is a bit difficult to deal with today. We just returned to the hotel after seven o'clock. There are two more chapters left and book friends who can’t wait can get up and read them again. Anyway, Dashu stayed up late to code out the tickets for tomorrow afternoon.
