Naval Base 161 (inal).

  Located in Lailuo Tow Sea.

  It is the naval branch closest to Water Piano Isnd.

  Even an ordinary mert ship travel bad forth betweewo isnds in one day.

  The pead tranquillity of Water Piano Isnd are inseparable from the awe of Base 161.

  At this time, el Cole, the ander of the 161st base, was dug drills with the marines.

  "Stay in formation, raise yun, and shoot!"

  "Swing the sword with force, theract it! If you succeed, retreat quickly!"

  "When fag pirates, we must not only kill them with orike but also be prepared for a deadly terattack!"

  "You are the righteous navy! Only with power you better protect the sea!"

  The soldiers were drinking chi soup while training, and the whole pyground was in full swing.

  They know that Base 161 is a true sea-fixing needle, frightening pirates in the area.

  However, the reality is not so optimistic.

  pared with the huge area us jurisdi, the strength of the 161 base is still somewhat limited.

  Cole also had a huge headache about this.

  However, the situation has improved in the past two years.

  A white-haired boy appeared out of nowhere and targeted nearby pirates and bandits, often ing to exge for bounty.

  In the beginning, it was just a small role with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

  Later, it gradually became a prisoner with a reward of hundreds of thousands.

  They even occasionally deliver the heads of criminals with million-level bounty.

  At this time, the bounty in the pirate world has not yet expanded.

  The average bounty level for pirates in the East Sea is only oo two million.

  This young man's record is already quite terrifying.

  Cole thought that even if he took a personally, his record would not be better.

  Because of the young man's activity, the defence pressure on Base 161 has beely reduced, freeing up his hands to trate on dealing with some pirates who have itted many evil deeds.

  For a time, the security of the entire jurisdi has obviously improved to a higher level.

  Not only that, when dug assessments at the Navy Headquarters, they have always only looked at the performanot the process.

  As long as a pirate ehe prison of the 161 base, whether he caught it himself ave it to a bounty hunter, it is all the credit of 161.

  Therefore, Base 161 raised, and military expenditures increased a lot.

  Even got a retired medium-sized warship.

  With this warship, fag ordinary pirates is a plete dimensionality redu attack.

  This made Cole and his navy full of energy.

  At this time, a messenger hurried over and gave Cole a standard military salute.

  "Basiahat boy is here again!"

  "Oh?!" Cole immediately became eid said to the other marines, "You tio train; don't be zy!"

  Then he hurried to the gate of the base.

  There is a wide road at the entrance of Base 161.

  Diagonally opposite is the pier.

  Smoker sat on a bench by the dock, with a fishing boat o him.

  There were many people piled up and down on the deck, all of whom were members of the Bck Cross Thieves Group.

  Some still moan, and some have stopped moving.

  At this time, Smoker quietly looked at Base 161, thinking about his future.

  What will you do ?

  With the fruit of darkness, he will definitely not be willing to live in seclusion and always have to do something to live up to this life.

  But what kind of person do you want to be? !

  Although One Piece is a ic with pirates as the protagonist, it focuses on freedom and romance.

  But Smoker didn't like pirates at all.

  A group of guys who had nothing to do with produ ehe sea with swords and guns, burning, killing, and looting along the way, and then euphemistically called freedom...

  How ironic!

  How ridiculous!

  It is true that the world is very corrupt.

  There is exploitation by the Celestial Dragons and the Wover; there is svery, turmoil, and famine, f many people to ehe sea and bee pirates.

  But they don't dare to show their swords to the woverhat exploits them, and they don't dare to fight the pirates who pluhem.

  Instead, we aim the bde at the people ahe of hatred and suffering tio extend...

  Everairates, who are the protagonists, are more hands-on aalkative.

  It is true that they saved many people along the way, but they also gave these people the wrong uanding and expectations of pirates.

  Occasionally entering a ferocious beast that does not bite people means that all ferocious beasts do not bite people and lose the vigihey should have.

  Is this really good? !

  Whether it was because of the education in his previous life or the influence of the inal owner's soul, Smoker preferred to choose the navy.

  Although there are various problems in the navy, there are also many scum and scum.

  But it has to be said that in this era of w of the jungle, most of the navy still lives up to the name of justice.

  As for wover, fet it.

  Whether it's CP, Justice Isnd, or a big prison, none of them look like a pce where normal people stay.

  Speaking of which, the inal owner came up with the idea of joining the navy after witnessing the execution of the Pirate King. 】

  Unfortunately, I am not old enough to be an intern...

  Just when Smoker was thinking wildly, Cole hurried out.

  "Smog, long time no see..."

  Just after saying hello, I suddenly saw the bunch of pirates and was shocked.

  "These...are these pirates? Did you catch them?"

  Smoker has always kept a low profile because he was worried that pirates would retaliate against the residents of Shuiqin Isnd.

  Iire 161st base, almost only Cole knew his identity.

  "Uncle Cole, this is the Bck Cross Pirates."

  "The big guy at the top is Captain Bckfork Eugene, but unfortunately he's dead."

  "As for the others... I don't know if there is a bounty, so I brought them all."

  Col's eyes suddenly widened.

  "Bck... Bck Cross Pirates?!"

  This is one of the most notorious pirate groups in the East Sea.

  A few days ago, a caravan with a background lundered, and the superiors issued a death order to get rid of these bastards at all costs.

  I was having a headache, but I didn’t expect it to be solved like this!

  This is a military achievement obtained for free!

  After a while.

  Smoker sat in Cole's office, happily ting the bounty.

  Eugene and his men had a total of more than 4 million Baileys.

  It was also a small fortune for Smoker.

  "Thank you! Uncle Cole, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first!"

  "You're wele; you deserve this. Speaking of which, our base should thank you!!"

  "By the way, actually you don't o dress like this."

  Whenever Smoker came over, he would cover his fad hair to prevent being reised.

  "I just don't want to cause trouble to the folks. After all, I'm not a carefree bounty hunter."

  Cole couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You have to believe in the Navy."

  But he didn't insist: "That's all; be careful, and you won't make a big mistake; it's up to you!"

  Smoker smiled slightly and said nothing more.

  Admiral Zefa's wife and children were iably killed in revenge by pirates, let alohe small Water Piano Isnd.

  The folks were very kind to him, but he didn't want to risk their lives on the quality of the Navy at Base 161...

  Seeing that Smoker was about to leave, Cole suddenly asked, "Mr. Smoker, are you willing to join the navy?"

  Cole himself couldn't remember how many times he was io join the Navy.

  Although he refused every time, he still couldn't help but speak.

  This boy is so outstanding.

  Strong, calm, yet righteous...

  He is simply a natural-born naval prospect.

  The only drawback is that I am only thirteen years old.

  Acc to the requirements of the Navy, enlistment at such a young age is not allowed.

  But there are policies above and termeasures below.

  You call Smoker into the base first and wait until he turns sixteen before pleting the file.

  This is simply no difficulty for the chief officer of a base!

  Smoker smiled faintly: "It would be good to bee a navy, but I'm sorry, I don't have this idea yet."

  Smoker refused to join the navy before because he was worried that he would miss the Devil Fruit if he left Water Piano Isnd.

  Things are different now...

  I just got the Dark Fruit, so I'd better focus on developing my abilities.

  Wait until you have mastered the skills before joining the Navy.

  At this time, a naval unications soldier walked in quickly.

  "Basiahere is a new file in the headquarters!"

  "Headquarters files? Let me take a look!"

  There are not many opportunities for Base 161 to receive headquarters files, but it is often a big deal.

  Cole took the file, took a look at it, and spit out the tea in his mouth.

  Then he quickly opened his eyes and looked carefully.

  While watg, sweat broke out on my forehead, and my hands couldn't stop shaking.

  When Smoker saw Cole's appearance, he khat something terrible had happened.

  "Uncle Cole, since you still have official busio deal with, I won't disturb you."

  Only then did Cole e to his senses.

  "Not a mission, just a message..."

  "message?!"

  "..."

  "That's all; the whole world will know about it soon. Do you know about the Roger Pirates?"

  Smoker perked up.

  I know, I fug know.

  Cole hahe file in his hand to Smoker.

  "The Roger Pirates arrived at the final isnd, and the king of this sea was born!"

  "What?!"

  Smoker took the file and read it.

  "Huh... sure enough."

  , Roger will live in South Sea for a year and have a child with Pas D. Rouge.

  Afterwards, he surreo the navy, used himself as bait, and personally opehe curtain of the great pirate era in Rogue Town!

  Of course, during this period, there were also a series of is, such as the arrest of the golden lion and the massacre of babies in the South Sea...

  Smoker's thoughts were rag rapidly.

  This is an important opportunity for me! ! !

  Acc to the regutions of the Navy, new recruits only join the branch, and only those with outstanding performance will be selected to join the headquarters.

  Whether it's Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, or ter Kobe and Belumeb, it's all like this.

  However, if there is a reendation from a high-ranking military officer, this time will be greatly shortened.

  For example, Kobe Bryaered the Navy Headquarters within a few months under Karp's reendation.

  Acc to the normal plot, Smoker naturally doesn't know any high-level marines, so he only survive for a few years.

  But it's different now.

  When the Pirate King is executed, a rge number of naval officers will definitely gather in Rogue Town.

  Then you try your luck!

  If a high-ranking officer takes a fan, he might be able to ehe navy headquarters soon!

  Smoker thought as he put down the file.

  I actally touched a small or on Cole's table and suddenly felt weak.

  Smoker couldn't help being surprised.

  I have entered this or before, but I have never had this rea.

  "Uncle Cole, what is this?"

  This or is a pitch-bck ore with a finger-sized silver-grey sto the top.

  Cole said indifferently, "This is just an or. I bought it as a souvenir when I went on a busirip to the Navy Headquarters. If you like it, I give it to you!!"

  Cole's thoughts were all about winning over Smoker, and when he saw that he liked him, he would naturally not be stingy.

  "Thank you very much..."

  Smoker looked at the ors carefully and touched the base. He felt nothing but felt weak wheouched the small stones.

  Sure enough...this is a sea tower stone! 】
