One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 48 I am easily soft-hearted
"It's only natural for the navy to seize the pirates' bodies!"

Mouse flipped the safety and said sinisterly, "You've been uncooperative, sneaky, and rude. Now I suspect you're not clean either. You might be committing some unspeakable crime. Come on, seize these people and this entire ship! Take them all back and interrogate them thoroughly!"

"Mr. Colonel!"

The adjutant beside him couldn't help but say, "This, this is too inappropriate..."

"Shut up! Are you the boss and am I the boss?"

The mouse was so angry that he slapped the adjutant in the face. The adjutant was slapped hard and lowered his head, not daring to say anything.

When he turned around, he saw Xia Nuo looking at him as if he were an idiot: "Is there something wrong with your brain?"

"Huh?" The mouse was startled, then flew into a rage. "How dare you insult the Navy Commander? I think you're really tired of living!"

"Look, you haven't reacted yet. You're so afraid of the Arlong Pirates that you haven't dared to provoke them. You only dared to come out and take advantage of them after they were dead."

Xia Nuo sighed softly and flexed his right hand slightly. "Then the question is, where do you get the courage to provoke a stronger me?"

"Could it be that, because I'm a civilian, you think I won't resist and will just surrender obediently?"

There is a huge rock about four or five meters high on the shore, with big words written on it: "From here to Kekoyasi Village".

Xia Nuo grabbed the boulder casually, and it rose up from the ground with a loud bang. After weighing it in his hand, he suddenly smashed it towards the warship in the incredulous eyes of the mouse!

Phew—boom! !
When the boulder was about to hit the top of the mast, Xia Nuo casually raised his fingertips and fired another shot from the air finger gun. The boulder instantly exploded above the warship, turning into countless fine stone powders that fell down.

"This……"

The marines who were still on the deck all looked up in amazement.

The mouse has the biggest mouth, and can even fit half of Chopper in it.

"I forgot to tell you, the entire Arlong Pirates didn't last more than twenty minutes in my hands."

Xia Nuo smiled and said, "I wonder how long you, a captain of the naval branch, and all the marines on this warship can hold out?"

The mouse shuddered and finally came to its senses.

At this moment, he finally realized it.

——The person standing in front of him is not a simple and strong villager, but a cruel and vicious man who is several times more terrifying than Aaron!
"Misunderstand!"

The mouse's face was trembling, and he managed to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying: "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. You can go wherever you want. We dare not stop you. Let's go now, let's go now!"

After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and ran towards the warship. He twisted his ankle and almost threw his shoes off, but he didn't care about that. He stumbled all the way and got into the cabin in a blink of an eye.

Just like an ostrich, he finally felt relieved when he could no longer see Shanuo. His shrill roar came from behind the door:

"What are you still standing there for! Hurry up and get going back to base!"

Hahaha! The villagers watching from a distance burst into laughter.

The marines all lowered their heads and lined up on the deck in shame. The lieutenant sighed deeply and quietly raised his collar to cover half of his face.

"Following a leader like this, I guess I'll feel inferior to my colleagues from other bases when I meet them." Manba leaned on the railing and sighed.

Then he looked at Xia Nuo who was walking onto the deck and said, "Boss, shall we set off too?"

"No, you go first." Xia Nuo shook his head slightly and looked at the direction where the warship was going away. "I still have something to do."

Is this what you want?
Manba's eyes widened, and then he saw Xia Nuo waving and calling them all over. "When you arrive at the 77th branch base, do this and that... and then wait for me to come back. Do you understand?"

"Yes, boss!"

Manba shuddered. He truly deserved to be called the boss. This was too cruel. However, what he did was not wrong. He supported it from the bottom of his heart. ...

The night is getting darker.

The sea surface was shimmering under the moonlight, and the warships with white sails were riding the wind and waves, heading towards the 16th branch base at full speed.

He didn't even notice that, out of sight, a small boat was quietly following behind him at some point.

On the boat.

Xia Nuo took a sip of wine and looked at the blurry black dot in the distance with an indifferent expression.

He is a person who is easily soft-hearted, but once he becomes tough and really thinks someone deserves to die, it is not that easy to ask him to give him another chance to live.

Rats are among them.

Don’t think that this guy was so scared today that he almost peed his pants after being threatened by me.

But once I returned to the base, sat at my desk, and got used to the feeling of being in a high position and giving orders, resentment towards myself would quickly surge up.

It just so happens that this guy is the director of the naval branch base closest to Kokoa West Village. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the hometown official.

Sitting in this position, there are simply countless ways to secretly disgust others, and when he leaves his hometown and officially goes to sea in the future, who knows how the other party will retaliate against Kokoasi Village.

It's better to strike first.

It takes a thousand days to catch a thief, but there is no such thing as guarding against a thief for a thousand days.

After confirming the downwind direction and ocean current, Xia Nuo ignored the warship in front of him, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and meditated quietly.

The speed of the warship is not comparable to that of his small broken boat. If he continues like this, the distance will only get farther and farther, and he will not be able to catch up at all, so he can't do it for the time being.

However, the monk may run away, but the temple cannot. After sunset tomorrow, the two ships will arrive at the 16th branch naval base one after another.

It will be a dark and windy day, so there will be plenty of time.

…………

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty hours passed.

In front of the gate of Donghai Branch 77.

The large ship that originally belonged to the Arlong Pirates and was now renamed "Orange Garden" by Shano was anchored at the naval port.

Manba got off the boat with Namenki and others who were looking around curiously. Before they even stepped ashore, they were greeted with warm applause and a large crowd of people to welcome them.

"You guys are really early! We're several hours earlier than the time we were told on the phone!"

A female colonel with a mohawk came forward with a cigarette in her mouth and a bright smile. "I'm Sophia, the base commander of the 77th branch. Welcome everyone!"

"You're welcome." Manba hurriedly offered a handshake. "Doesn't this mean that you've been waiting here for several hours?"

"No, I just received the news and rushed over."

Sophia answered truthfully, laughing, "But you really should have come sooner. You can't be too polite to the heroes who killed the Arlong Pirates!"

"To be honest, ever since I received the intelligence that the Arlong Pirates were approaching this area, I've been worried and unable to sleep. I originally wanted to unite with the 16th branch and my colleagues from the 24th branch in the north to catch them off guard and kill them by surprise."

Sophia rubbed her temples in distress.

"But who knows what that new guy from Branch 16 was thinking. He kept hesitating and making all sorts of excuses, and as a result, he missed the best opportunity to fight."
