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

Chapter 49: Dark Moon and High Wind, Killing Night
"I was feeling down, but a few days later, I suddenly learned that the Arlong Pirates had been wiped out, and the heroes who had rid the people of this evil were now standing before our eyes!"

Sophia's expression suddenly became serious when she said this, and she was the first to raise her right hand. "Marine, everyone, salute the heroes!"

——Shuashua!
The surrounding Marines suddenly stood at attention and saluted in unison. This sudden action scared Nami and Nojiko.

"Hey, Nojigo."

Nami blushed and whispered in her ear, "Do you think the Marines in this base are much more powerful than those guys in Base 16?"

"Have it?"

Nuo Qigao tilted his head and shook it. "I'm not sure about their combat effectiveness, but their military appearance is definitely much better. They look very imposing. It seems that this Colonel Sophia is much more competent than that rat."

"Thank you, thank you,"

Manba had never been treated like this before, and his mouth was grinning from ear to ear.

Although he knew this was done for his boss's sake, he still felt proud for a moment. His face flushed, and he quickly said, "But we don't deserve the title of heroes. The entire Arlong Pirates were wiped out by Boss Shano single-handedly."

"Oh, I know. I heard you guys talk about it on the phone."

Sophia smiled and nodded. She looked around and couldn't help but feel curious. "Hey, where is Mr. Shanuo? Isn't he here?"

"I am here, but I just fought a great battle and my injuries have not yet healed. I also caught a cold at sea, so I am a little weak and it is difficult for me to see people. Therefore, I have not left the ship. I hope you will understand."

Man Scar apologized and pointed to somewhere on the ship.

Sophia looked over.

Sure enough, I saw a sturdy figure in a black robe, leaning on the railing with a long sword on his back, smiling and waving at this side.

But then he burst into a violent cough, covered his chest, and limped into the cabin with the help of two crew members next to him.

"I heard that Lord Shanuo is still very young. He won the Kendo Tournament in Asazakura Island last year. Now he can defeat a powerful enemy like the Dragon Pirates. I think his swordsmanship has improved a lot. Now he is not only the strongest swordsman of the younger generation, but it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest swordsman in our entire East China Sea."

Sophia looked away, her face full of regret.

"What a shame! I'm also a swordsman, and this is a rare opportunity. I was thinking that if I had the chance, I would have a good sparring match with Lord Shanuo and ask him to teach me about swordsmanship."

Yes, is it?

Manba laughed dryly as he recalled the scenes he had witnessed on the mountain: the hollowed-out mountain, the flying giant tree, the skin that even bullets could not penetrate...

Boss Shanuo, should he still be considered a swordsman?
...............

At the same time, 16 branches were on the top floor of the fortress.

Mouse, with a gloomy face, kicked open the office door, strode to the spacious desk, and sat down on the familiar leather sofa chair.

"That kid..." He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Where on earth did he come from? When did such a ruthless character appear in the East China Sea? He is simply a complete monster!
With such ability, why doesn't he go to the Grand Line to make a name for himself, but instead stays in a small village as a farmer?
"Just wait for me..."

The mouse was filled with hatred. He couldn't afford to offend you for the time being, but you would have to leave your hometown one day. When that happened, your family and those stupid villagers who dared to laugh at you...

Bulu Bulu~!

The Den Den Mushi on the desk suddenly chirped.

The mouse woke up from his fantasy and hurriedly picked up the phone: "Hello... Hey, it's you? Mr. Major General, didn't we agree to contact each other next week? Why are you here now..." "It's just a few days early, what's the difference? I say, my share of the money should be ready, right?"

A deep, magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone. At the same time, Den Den Mushi pulled out a pair of sunglasses from somewhere and put them on, then started smoking a cigar leisurely.

"Ready, ready!"

The mouse answered hurriedly and pressed the red button under the desk. The bookcase behind him suddenly flipped over, revealing a huge metal safe.

When the box door was opened, it was filled with green ten-thousand-yuan bills. A rough count showed that there were at least hundreds of millions of Baileys in it.

"A total of 10 million Baileys. Don't worry, I will go to the bank tomorrow and deposit it into your account." Mouse pulled out a stack of money, closed the safe, and said with a smile while counting the money.

"Ten million Baileys?"

The other party was slightly startled, and then his tone turned cold.

"Mouse, you're kidding me! Wasn't the original agreement 30% for the first year? You're almost a full year in office. Don't tell me you only made 30 million Baileys in total."

"Money is hard to earn, shit is hard to eat, sir."

The mouse complained hurriedly, "This place is remote and far away, and many villages are deserted. In fact, I haven't even earned 30 million yet, so it's not easy to come up with 10 million. I also want to round it up and thank you for your advice to Aaron and his group some time ago."

"...This is still acceptable. Never mind, let's just leave it at that for this year."

The magnetic voice said coldly, "Next year, this figure must not be less than 30 million. Remember, it was my share of your military merit that allowed you to take the position of branch base leader, and it is worth far more than this little money."

"Yes, yes, I understand, Mr. Major General."

The mouse nodded repeatedly, hesitated for a moment and said:
"Speaking of which, sir, I recently offended a guy. He's a very secretive person, and I'm a little worried that he'll come back for revenge, so I'm thinking about taking the initiative and giving him..."

"Hidden behind closed doors?" the magnetic voice sneered. "There's no such thing as a hidden person in a place like the East China Sea. What's his name?"

"Call……"

boom!
At this moment, the glass outside the window suddenly shattered.

The dark shadow that had been hiding outside for a while suddenly stepped into the office on the top floor.

The mouse subconsciously turned his head when he heard the sound, but before he could react, a strong hand like a pair of pliers had already tightly grasped his throat and lifted him up from the ground like an eagle catching a chick.

It's you!

How dare you come to my house?!
The black-haired boy in front of him had an indifferent expression, and the mouse widened his eyes in disbelief. He struggled desperately to speak, but in the end he could only squeeze out a low, painful "woohoo" sound.

"Rat? Rat!"

An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hey! What's going on? What happened over there?!"

No one can answer.

In the mouse's frightened pupils, the black-haired boy was reflected, slowly grinning a hideous smile, and then suddenly grabbed his entire head and slammed it hard against the iron door of the safe!

Boom!Boom!Boom!
One, two, three...Xiano's movements were swift and sharp, one after another, leaving the mouse no room to struggle.

"Woo, woo..." At first, the latter still had some faint moans, but soon there was no movement at all. The iron door of the metal safe was gradually covered with blood and brain matter, and it collapsed and dented bit by bit...

The last chapter I wrote last night was stuck in the dialogue, and it would be awkward to keep everyone waiting for hours, so I just woke up early today to finish writing the second chapter and will post both chapters at once~
