Pirates: Honest Men in the Navy

East China Sea, a certain sea area, Askar Island.

Around the island, there are several small islands of various sizes, surrounded by stars like the moon.

But I don’t know if it’s because the Seven Star Sword is relatively excluded. The islands are sparsely populated. At a glance, the ruins of the dilapidated and old fortress blend into the surrounding forest, and they are not out of place in the senses.

At this time, Louis, standing on the deck of the warship, had seen the island from the sea level.

"Report, Lieutenant General, the island ahead is Aska Island!"

A colonel stood at attention and saluted.

Without saying anything, Louis waved his hand and told the colonel to retreat. He subconsciously took out a cigarette from his pocket and was about to light one, but he seemed to remember something and glanced at the deck before finally stuffing the cigarette back into his pocket.

On the deck, the energetic Ace was crawling around on the deck, chattering and looking very happy.

On the edge of the deck, not far from Ace, Garp was sitting on a small bench, fishing with a fishing rod in his hand, humming an incomprehensible tune.

Seeing Garp's posture and not being afraid of the brat Ace falling, Louis felt deeply sad for Dorag who didn't know where he was.

The fact that he has grown so big without being tricked to death by Garp is really a blessing from his ancestors in the Mengqi family.

A gust of sea breeze blew by, and Louis walked to Garp. At this time, the fishing rod shook, and Garp looked happy. He pulled hard and caught a big fish directly from the sea, which made him happy.

"It's so peaceful, East China Sea. We didn't even encounter a single pirate along the way. In this era of great pirates, it's simply unbelievable..." Louis sighed with a smile as he helped take down the sea fish.

Starting from the G-6 base and traveling all the way, he didn't know how many times he encountered pirates. Although he wiped them all out without his own action, they were still annoying, buzzing like mosquitoes.

But after entering the East China Sea from the North Windless Zone, pirates seemed to be extinct, and not a single one was seen.

"The East China Sea is a symbol of peace after all, and it is what our navy focuses on building. We can no longer allow any trouble in this sea area." Garp put away his fishing rod and said.

"Yeah, a symbol of peace..." Louis glanced at this hob meat and sighed a little.

I'm afraid it's because he hasn't gone to the East China Sea in the past two years. In my impression, since Louis joined the navy, he has to go back to the East China Sea every once in a while.

But obviously, his role as a max-level account in massacring novice villages was very effective.Even if there could be any great guy, he would be nipped in the bud by Garp.

"However, I heard that the corruption situation in the East China Sea Navy seems to be getting more and more serious..." When mentioning this, a look of disgust flashed in Garp's eyes.

Louis also nodded and said softly:

"Although this department has been working hard to combat corruption, due to the influence of the times, on the one hand, pirates are impacting the existing order, and on the other hand, the people's dependence on the navy is growing day by day.

Therefore, the rapid decline of the branch navy is not incomprehensible..."

After a short pause, Louis sighed:

"Perhaps the people are living in dire straits. Although those corrupt people are very abhorrent, without the support of the branch navy, they will face hell on earth."

The helplessness in his words made Garp sigh.

What Louis said is indeed the reality. This kind of corruption is naturally very bad, but in the end, we can still survive.

Look at the first half of the Grand Line and look at the New World, which is the real hell on earth.

"So, no matter how corrupted the order is, it is still order, and it is better than chaos. After all, that is the breeding ground for evil." Louis suddenly said.

Garp didn't answer. He looked at the island in the distance and waved his hand: "Okay, it doesn't make much sense for the two of us to discuss this kind of issue. Let's get the Seven Star Sword quickly."

"Well, although theoretically you have to wait a few days for the red full moon to appear before you can get it, you can still go to the island to have a look." Louis also looked at Aska Island.

Although Garp doesn't use swords, as a native of Donghai, he is naturally very interested in the legend of the Seven Star Sword.

So after leaving Ace in the care of the navy on the warship, he followed Louis to Aska Island.

Looking at the islanders at the pier, Louis and Garp looked at each other. After walking down the boat ladder, an old woman in sacrificial attire came up to them and said:

"Welcome, respected Lord Navy, I wonder why you two came to Aska Island...?"

The old woman's attitude was very respectful. She recognized the military ranks on their shoulders.

Analyzing the size of the warships, they must be the legendary vice-admirals from the Navy Headquarters!

She couldn't help but be disrespectful.

The rest of the islanders also looked at the two outsiders, especially Louis. The girls among the islanders turned red and their eyes wandered, as if they wanted to have a beautiful 'encounter' with Louis.

Louis ignored these. As a sword-taker, he explained straightforwardly: "Hello, priestess, I am the Vice Admiral of the Navy. Louis, I am interrupting this time because I want to take away the legendary Seven-Star Sword..."

But before Louis could finish speaking, the islanders started making noises, their expressions full of fear and expectation.

"Quiet!!" The priest's mother-in-law had to shout to stop, and then the situation was brought under control.

It can be seen that this old woman has great prestige in the hearts of the islanders.

"Hello, respected Lieutenant General Louis, if you want to take away the Seven Star Sword, you can of course do it." The priest mother-in-law said still respectfully.

As an unknown object in itself, the existence of the Seven Star Sword has affected the lives of the residents of Aska Island in all aspects.

Only one or two merchant ships would come every once in a while, all because they were afraid of the strange legend of the Seven Star Sword.

As for the pirates, although Aska Island is very famous, the island's barrenness and backwardness made them ignore it.

What kind of fortune can there be on this broken island?

As the leader of the residents of Aska Island, the priest mother-in-law naturally wants to lead the islanders to live a good life.

However, as long as the problem of the Seven Star Sword is not solved for one day, the status quo of Aska Island will remain like this.

Therefore, after hearing Louis' request, the priest-in-law agreed without hesitation.

Seeing this, Louis and Garp nodded and felt relieved. They thought they would spend more time talking, but they didn't expect it to be so easy to communicate.

save trouble!

He rejected the priest's mother-in-law's idea of ​​leading the way. After all, the information Stussy gave Louis was quite clear.

And looking from the mountain here, you can indeed see a huge altar halfway up the mountain.

After thousands of years of wind and rain, it is very messy, but from a distance, it still has a somewhat mysterious atmosphere.

Walking up the mountain, the atmosphere became darker and more obscure, which surprised Louis and Garp.

"Isn't it? Is there really a curse?" Louis muttered.

But Garp didn't believe in evil. He looked around and analyzed: "Maybe it's because the mountain is not in good shape, the humidity is too high, and the sunlight is blocked by trees, so it feels dark."

"No wonder no one wants to come to this damn place." Louis then smiled nonchalantly.

While talking nonsense, they climbed the mountain. For two people of this level, this physical exertion was not worth mentioning, and they soon arrived in front of the altar.

The entire altar was very exaggerated, and with their eyes it was not difficult to see that it was directly carved out of a huge stone.

After climbing the stone ladder to the altar, the two discovered that in the center of the altar, there were three human-shaped stone sculptures, which were about twice as tall as Louis. Each of the human-shaped stone sculptures was holding a dark red round object in their hands. , jade is full of texture.

Three stone sculptures surround a long sword with a simple style. The scabbard alone gives people a shocking feeling.

At first glance, it looks like it's just pitch black, but if you look closely, you can see the exquisite carved patterns, including mountains and water, dragons and tigers dancing together, which is extraordinary.

The sword is shaped like a golden flower, and the shape is quite artistic. The material of the sword hilt is unknown, and there is not much decoration. It is white in color, and there is a dark blue tassel at the end.

The wind and rain of time did not make it dusty, and it looked as clean as new, which surprised the two of them.
