A sea breeze gently caressed the deck.

The waves rhythmically lapped against the hull of the boat, making a soft splashing sound.

Luca slowly opened his eyes, his consciousness gradually clearing from its hazy state.

"Oh dear, what's going on? I... I've come back to this world?"

Luca muttered to itself, propping itself up and standing on the deck, gazing ahead.

In the distance, the outline of an island gradually becomes clear.

As the focus shifted, some forcibly compressed memory files slammed into the Luca's CPU with a thud.

Luca immediately recalled the thrilling battle with Alvida and the lonely voyage that followed.

Since the pirates on the ship all performed leaps of faith after he defeated Alvida, he has been the only one running around the ship for the past few days.

During its days adrift at sea, it learned a profound lesson: it is extremely difficult for a person to sail a ship on the vast ocean.

Not only do they need to be constantly vigilant, but they also have to deal with all sorts of unexpected situations. Even with Luca's physical strength and willpower, he felt overwhelmed.

So, seeing the town before it, it decided to recruit a few able-bodied men from the town, uh...

It's about finding like-minded partners to sail with.

As the ship docked, Luca, carrying a simple bag, stepped onto the land of the small town.

The town was surprisingly lively, as if a Pokémon expo was being held on the streets.

Growlithe pushes a cart, hawking "Fresh tree berries, money back guarantee if not sweet"; Kadabra performs "spoon levitation" on a street corner, trying to earn some pocket money with his superpowers; several lazy otters occupy the sunniest spots, sprawling out like "blankets" to photosynthesize...

"Wow, this is pretty comfortable."

As Luca muttered to himself, he activated radar scanning mode to look for potential crew members.

As Luca walked, he noticed a small tavern with a sign that read "Kirby's Tavern" hanging at the entrance.

Just then, the long-absent narration began.

Luca's stomach rumbled in protest at just the right moment, and he realized that he hadn't had a proper meal in a long time.

Under the influence of the narration, Luca, who had just been so dignified, suddenly became so hungry that his legs trembled.

So it decided to go in and fill its stomach, and also to inquire about the town.

Inside the tavern, various Pokémon gathered in twos and threes, some drinking, some playing cards, and others talking in hushed tones.

He ordered a local seafood paella and a glass of fresh orange juice, then began to look around, observing everything happening in the pub.

"Sir, I see this is your first time visiting Shells Town, is it?"

A chubby Snorlax came over carrying food, its enormous body nearly tipping the table over.

Since Luca had never seen a Snorlax before, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Boss, you... how come you're so fat?"

Snorlax grinned sheepishly and patted its belly.

"I'm not fat, this is my stomach, I have a big stomach!"

Luca took the food while scanning Snorlax with his titanium alloy dog ​​eyes.

No, this stomach is too big. Bringing it on board as a cook would consume too much food. It's better suited as a food reserve...

"Oh, by the way, this town seems pretty peaceful."

Snorlax rubbed his large stomach, his expression suddenly falling, looking a bit aggrieved and uncomfortable.

"Oh my god, the town seems peaceful on the surface, but ever since that sloppy Colonel Monca took over the naval fortress, I've been feeling really uneasy, and my head is throbbing!"

"A naval fortress?"

Upon hearing that this place was actually the location of a naval fortress, Luca's eyes lit up.

It has always aimed to become the King of the Navy and strictly adheres to naval regulations. It is only one formal letter of acceptance away from becoming a true naval officer!

Isn't the opportunity here?

Onboarding! Registration! Becoming a tenured civil servant! Today!

Where is that fortress?

Snorlax pointed out the window.

"About that really tall fortress north of the town, well, every little thing has a source, every tree has roots, and there's a reason why I'm feeling so uneasy..."

Just as Luca was about to ask more questions, the tavern door was suddenly pushed open, and several Pokémon dressed in navy uniforms swaggered in.

The tavern fell silent instantly, and all the Pokémon lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the Marines.

"David Day, is today's protection money ready?"

The leader of the fiery monkeys asked with a sneer, its eyes flashing with greed and arrogance.

David Day, the owner of Snorlax, was so frightened that his stomach churned. He quickly pulled a bag from under the counter, his voice trembling with fear.

"Ouch, this is really uncomfortable... Everything's ready, it's all in this area! Pay up if you're alive, or you're dead!"

Fiery Monkey casually took the bag, weighed it in his hand, and nodded in satisfaction.

"You're smart to know what's good for you! With Boss Monka protecting you, you're perfectly safe! But..."

It made a throat-slitting gesture, revealing a ferocious grin. "Anyone who doesn't behave, hmph..."

Luca's arm stiffened instantly, his eyes flashing with ferocity, and he almost delivered a merciless Mamba elbow to the other's face!
But since the other party was nominally the navy, it took a deep breath, forced itself to calm down, and decided to investigate thoroughly before taking any action...

"Man!"

A loud shout rang out!
Luca's figure transformed into a streak of blue lightning and vanished on the spot. The next second, he appeared right in front of Infernape's smug monkey face!
Although Luca's rationality dictates that it investigates thoroughly before acting, the Mamba Mentality within it will never allow it to condone such evil deeds!
Elbow, come on!

boom! ! !
With a sickening thud, Luca's elbow landed squarely on Infernape's nose!

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god—"

Luca slammed his foot into the chest of the Infernal Monkey that had been elbowed over, and shouted sharply.

"Speak! You're not from the Navy at all! What kind of outcasts are you, hiding in some remote corner of the world, wearing Navy uniforms and daring to swindle people?!"

The fiery monkey was almost stomped on and nearly passed out. The pain and humiliation contorted its face, but it still remained defiant.

"Bullshit! I'm a genuine Marine from the 153rd Branch under Colonel Morgan! You dare attack a Marine? You're dead!"

"A legitimate navy officer?"

Luca laughed in anger, increasing the force of his stomp by three times, causing Inferno Monkey's eyes to roll back in his head.

"Collecting protection money, oppressing the people, abusing your power, and distorting the truth! What have you done that is something the Navy should be doing?! You've disgraced Admiral Red Dragon all the way to Galar!"

It leaned down and roared almost into the Infernape's ear.

"I admit! You! Aren't! Marines! You're! A bunch of pirates!"

"No...we are the sea..."

Infernape tried to be defiant, but when he saw Luca raise his iron elbow again, his pitiful bravado crumbled instantly.

"Yes, we're pirates wearing navy skins, but making money is business, not shameful at all! These days, who the hell would do the navy job if they didn't make some money!"

Luca was taken aback. Why did this tune sound so familiar? It subconsciously asked.

"Skip the profits? How? Explain clearly!"

With a mournful face, Fiery Monkey confessed everything like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

"It's...it's all about collecting protection money! When the navy takes office, they have to come up with all sorts of pretexts to win over the wealthy and powerful, and collect taxes and donations! Things like sea area cleaning fees, ship berthing management fees, and resident security maintenance funds...and then the wealthy and powerful get their money back in full, while the common people get their money split 30/70!"

Upon hearing these industry secrets, Luca's face instantly turned red with rage.

"Seventy percent?! Just for this seventy percent of the money, you're acting as accomplices to evil and committing all sorts of crimes?!"

Startled by the roar, the fiery monkey shuddered and blurted out.

"Seventy percent of it belongs to others; even getting threety percent depends on the Celestial Dragons' attitude!"

Luca's anger level went completely off the charts, and his entire body emitted a visible blue aura.

"What? Thirty percent has to depend on the Celestial Dragons' whims? That's like begging on your knees!"

"Iron Monkey said with an embarrassed look on his face."

"If that's your logic, then being in the navy is like begging on your knees! Even so, many people would rather kneel than have the chance!"

Luca was furious; this blatant declaration of corruption had completely ignited his righteous spirit!
"You dare mention the Navy! You parasites, scum, and trash are not true members of the Navy! Today, I, Navy King Luca, will clean house!"

With a burst of Fighting-type energy beneath his feet, Luca unleashed a Lightning Five-Elbow Combo!
Before the giant crab could even raise its proud pincers, it was struck on the forehead by the first elbow. It saw stars, spun around three times, and collapsed foaming at the mouth.

With his second elbow strike, Muddy tried to cushion the impact with his body, but Luca's elbow strike, imbued with the power of exorcism, pierced through its sticky body and slammed into its core!

"Hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph—"

The stinking mud let out a strange, mournful cry and collapsed into a lump of real rotten mud.

Of the navy personnel, Rada was the fastest and had already reached the tavern entrance.

Humph, want to escape?
Lightning Whirlwind Elbow!
Luca, despite being behind, delivered a precise uppercut elbow that slammed into Rada's chin from below!

Lada's screams stopped abruptly as he was lifted two meters into the air.

The fourth elbow strike, while Rada was still in the air, was caught up by Luca and delivered a vicious elbow strike, pinning him to the floor like a nail and creating a shallow crater.

With a final elbow strike, Luca executed a graceful spin and delivered a powerful tomahawk-style elbow strike, slamming into the back of the struggling monkey who was trying to get up like a hammer!

With a loud "Aow!", the fiery monkey collapsed completely, burying its face deep in the blood that had just flowed from its nose, and passed out.

The whole process was as fast as lightning, with five dull impacts almost coming together in one continuous sound!
By the time the Pokémon realized what was happening, the few "fake marines" who had been so arrogant were already lying on the ground in various poses.

Luca stood in the center of the tavern, flicked his elbow, and glanced at the few groaning "fake marines" on the ground, speaking with a firm and powerful voice.

"Look carefully! This is what happens when you impersonate the navy and prey on the local people! I, Luca, will never tolerate any unjust acts!"

The tavern was deathly silent.

Instead of a triumphant expression, the elves were filled with terror.

The Snorlax boss was so frightened that his huge stomach trembled.

"Oh my god! Dude! You've messed up terribly! Colonel Morgan's scrawled clothes are no joke! They really smell like a big axe... ugh, they're deadly! You'd better run now!"

The elderly frogman standing to the side spoke earnestly.

"Young man! You're still too young, your thinking is too simplistic, even a bit naive! If you try to go head-to-head with these navy men, they have plenty of ways to deal with you!"

"There was a swordsman known as the 'Pirate Hunter' before. He originally came to town to collect a bounty, but because he stood up for the townspeople and resisted Morgan's tyranny, he is now imprisoned in the fortress and will be executed in three days."
