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

Chapter 77 Damn it!

Under the gloomy rain curtain.

A luxury cruise ship, protected by three warships in front and behind, was slowly sailing towards the Rogue Town Pier.

"Oh! Rogue Town!!"

Altai stood at the bow, gently shaking the red wine in his hand, "Although it's far inferior to my capital, it's still pretty good!"

"Hey, Ghost Spider!" He glanced sideways at the back, "That Pirate King Roger, did he die here?"

"Yes, Your Majesty Altai."

Ghost Spider, cigarette in hand, nodded in response. "That execution platform in the square is where he died. If you'd like to visit, I'll order the island's navy to roll out a red carpet all the way from the dock to the base of the platform."

"Then go lay it."

Altai waved his hand and said lazily, "However, standing at the dock and looking around is more than enough. Going to the execution platform? I'm too lazy to go that far. I mainly like to watch you naval soldiers doing the rough work that low-ranking servants are responsible for. Hahaha!"

"..."

Ghost Spider frowned, displeasure flashing in his eyes, but the next moment, he immediately turned into a smiling face and bowed slightly:

"As you wish, Your Majesty."

……

Smoker stood at the rear of the deck, looking expressionlessly at the fat figure of Altai in front of him.

Compared to a few days ago, he now has more whip marks on his face and chest.

——That was because he saved the fishing boat and the two old men, which made Altai furious, and he was whipped out by the other party himself.

If he were an ordinary king, he naturally would not have this right, but the other party happened to have a quarter of Celestial Dragon bloodline.

To be precise, it was a princess of the Kingdom of Pis more than 30 years ago who was favored by the Celestial Dragons when she went to attend the World Conference. She became pregnant after she came back.

The royal family of the Kingdom of Pis was proud of this, celebrated it with great fanfare, and directly promoted the princess to the first heir to the throne.

After a generation, Altaïr, as the princess's eldest grandson, naturally ascended the throne as king after he came of age.

He is undoubtedly a contradictory and special existence.

On the one hand.

All the Tianlong families in the Holy Land will not recognize this kind of descendant with mixed blood, implant a chip in him, and will not tolerate Altai acting as a Tianlong.

But on the other hand.

The people below, whether they were from the Navy Headquarters or the World Government officials, did not dare to neglect them and really only regarded Altai as an ordinary king.

After all, the other party's Tianlong grandfather is still alive and has a high status in the family. It is even rumored that he has inquired about the current situation of his grandson several times. If something really happens to Altai, the Holy Land will definitely vent its anger.

"..." Smoker stroked the whip marks on his face and shook his head in self-mockery.

As a user of natural abilities, he was beaten all over by an ordinary person with a big stomach. How humiliating.

But no matter what.

The old couple was finally rescued.

And the price he paid was just a beating. It was worth it, wasn't it?

——If it wasn’t Lieutenant General Ghost Spider who personally brought him to Altai.

Smoker lit two cigars and looked up at Ghost Spider quietly.

He didn't hate the other person, but he had never felt that the two big words "justice" on the white cloak on the other person's back were so glaring.

When did it all start?
Smoker blew out a puff of smoke, his eyes confused.

He clearly remembered that when he first met Ghost Spider more than ten years ago, he was also a passionate young man who dared to stand up to the nobles in order to uphold justice.

Is it really only Vice Admiral Ghost Spider who has changed?
Or maybe, nothing has changed, and it's just that my past self has selectively ignored many things...

…………

The central square of Rogge Town, on the second floor of the cafe.

"Everyone's ordered dishes are here. If you need anything, I'm downstairs, just give me a shout."

The female store manager placed five glasses of sparkling drinks on the table with a smile, and then placed a large bowl of strawberry cake in front of Yin under his expectant gaze.

"Hehe, thank you, Auntie Manager~"

Nami happily sipped her orange soda and looked across the table at the figure shrouded in a white hooded robe. "Uncle Zhepu, everyone's finally here, and you're still wearing this? You don't even take it off to eat, are you?"

"In a place of right and wrong, it's always better to be cautious."

Zhepu grinned.

His current identity is quite special. He is the only one on the entire ship who has a bounty.

Although the last time the wanted poster was updated was a long time ago, the appearance in the photo is quite different from now, and most people really can't recognize him.

But Rogue Town is quite special after all, with a mixed crowd. It has the most powerful naval branch in the East China Sea, as well as bounty hunters secretly active. It is better to keep a low profile.

of course.

Zeff also knew that Shanuo didn't care what identity the outside world judged him to be, and he didn't care whether he would be put on the bounty list or not. He was even prepared to be put on the bounty list by the World Government before going out to sea.

But the decision of when to go on that road should be in the hands of the captain, and he should not cause an accident and be implicated.

As a crew member, you must have this awareness.

"So, that navy girl who looks exactly like Kuina was taken to work just five minutes before I got here? And she left this behind, asking you to hand it to me for a signature?"

Shanuo held up the old photo in his hand.

"Yes."

Kuina nodded. "They said some important person is coming, and almost all the marines are lining up to welcome them at the dock. Tashigi has to go too."

"She was really sad that she didn't get to see you. Before she left, she told me that if I was lucky enough to get your autograph, I could just leave the photo with the cafe owner and she would come get it when she was done."

Tsk, big shot.

Rogue Town is just a small town after all, how could such a big shot condescend to come here?

Xia Nuo didn't take it seriously. After tonight, after stealing... no, picking up the execution platform, he planned to leave and head to Upside Down Mountain.

No matter how difficult it is to entertain princes and nobles, they are the navy's trouble. What does it have to do with him?
It’s a pity that I didn’t get to see the scene of Tashigi and Kuina in the same frame.

After glancing at the photo in his hand, Shanuo thought that he might not have the chance to see Dasiqi in the short term, so he sacrificed her casually.

[Sacrifice: Tashigi's treasured old photos]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Value: 200 points]

[Appraisal Comment: The photo, carefully clipped from the newspaper and stored away, carries the longings and beliefs of her youth, sustaining her as she journeyed from the countryside to the Marine branch, walking alone on the path of kendo and justice. The image of the black-haired boy, sword in hand, is a guiding light deep in her heart, and the unspoken, burning yearning she harbored during countless days and nights of sword-wielding.]

"..."

The veins on Xia Nuo's forehead bulged.

This system is damn damn!
