Pirates: Honest Men in the Navy

The first half of the great route, Alabasta.

In a barren desert near the royal capital Albana...

A camel caravan is heading in the direction of Albana in this endless desert.

The camels carry a large number of goods, large and small.

It was obvious that this was a desert caravan.

The shaking camel bells jingled, and the dust kicked up was accompanied by heroic singing.

At this moment, a different kind of artistic conception emerged.

The owner of the camel team is a Mediterranean uncle who is over fifty years old.

He was riding a camel, and every once in a while, he would look back at the team behind him.

Especially the three strangers in the team.

But every time I looked over, it was not with caution towards strangers.

But a touch of happiness and peace of mind.

To tell the reason, we have to start three days ago.

Three days ago, they encountered the most powerful sand bandit organization nearby in the desert.

At that time, it was roughly estimated that there were more than 2000 brutal sand bandits involved in the attack.

After meeting this group of uninvited guests, the owner of the camel team felt his heart go cold.

Because his camel team, including the servants of merchants, and the number of guards, totaled only about [-] people.

Faced with such a huge number of sand thieves, they were unable to resist anything.

The best outcome is to hope that those damn bastards will only steal the goods and leave some water for them, and not kill people indiscriminately.

Therefore, at the first moment, the owner of the camel team conscientiously chose to run away together, and then he was chased by the group of sand thieves for more than ten minutes.

While we were chasing each other, three travelers who seemed to be lost bumped in. At that time, these three people were riding camels and wandering around in the desert.

When he saw these three people, the owner of the camel team felt quite embarrassed and ashamed.

After all, this is tantamount to involving these three innocent people.

But what happened next was completely beyond his imagination.

After the three people discovered the situation on their side, two of them quickly rushed towards the camel caravan.

What follows is an unforgettable battle scene.

There were only two of them, and they killed the sand bandits who were chasing them like nothing.

There is no sand pirate at all, who is the combined enemy of these two people.

In just half an hour, this battle with a huge disparity in numbers came to an end.

A large number of sand bandits were beaten to the point of losing their momentum and fled. The leader of the sand bandits who had rushed the fastest and screamed the most fiercely had his head blown off...

The crisis of the camel team was resolved, and the owner of the camel team, the bald man, shamelessly asked to go to Albana with the three of them.

Hence the present scene.

"Tulsh, go ask our most distinguished guest if he needs a rest? Send the best camel milk to quench the thirst of the guests..."

The owner of the camel team said to a servant behind him.

"Yes!"

The servant responded quickly, and then the camel hurried back.

At this time, the three Louises were riding on camels and moving forward with the camel team.

That's right, the two people who defeated the sand pirates before were Tina and Vergo, and Louis didn't take action at all.

"Really? The reconstruction work of Mariejoia has been completed? You have been assigned a luxurious villa? Hahahahaha, that's good, isn't it? Your CP's treatment is still great!"

Louis held the phone bug in one hand and said while riding unsteadily on the camel.

At this time, Louis was dressed like a native of Alabasta.

She was wrapped in a turban and covered up tightly, and the colors of her clothes were also gaudy. The overall look was very desert-style.

It is impossible to tell that the owner of this suit is a naval admiral.

The two little followers, Tina and Virgo, also put on similar clothes in a learned manner and followed the local customs.

Tina even wore a gauze scarf to cover her face.

Seeing a servant running over with camel milk, Tina rode a few steps forward on the camel, stopped him, and gestured with a smile, telling the servant not to disturb Louis' call.

Then he quietly took the camel milk, thanked him in a low voice, and returned to the team.

"Tch, no matter how luxurious it is, it can't be compared to the General's Courtyard you have in Marineland. Marigio is a place where every inch of land is precious. How much area can you allocate to us?"

Queen Stussy's voice came from the phone bug.

It still sounds so nice and crisp.

Almost four years have passed since Fisher Tiger and Dorag teamed up to burn Mary Joa.

And the reconstruction of Mariejoia has finally come to an end.

It is said that this large-scale reconstruction required more than 20 laborers and Marigio spent six trillion beli before it was completed.

But I have to mention that these six trillion beli are just necessary expenses.

In fact, the laborers who were recruited were all in the nature of labor and received no remuneration at all.

Even most of the construction materials were requisitioned.

If we were serious about rebuilding the Holy Land, we would not be able to sustain it with just six trillion.

"If you like, you are welcome to stay at any time."

Louis joked with a smile, but Stussy's next sentence was this:

"Tsk, aren't you afraid that I'll fight with that guy from Gion?"

Louis was embarrassed to pick up the topic, so he changed his tone and said, "Why did you remember to contact me?"

"It's not that Spangdine guy. He said he met you in Alabasta, so I just wanted to ask you how you were doing. But, what do you mean by that? Can't I contact you?"

Queen Stussy said with some dissatisfaction.

"No, no, how is that possible? Speaking of which, I haven't seen you for a while, and I really miss you. Have you been busy lately? Do you want to come to Alabasta for some fun?"

Louis didn't blush and invited with a cheeky smile.

In contrast, Her Majesty the Queen just rolled her eyes on the other end of the phone and did not continue talking about this topic, but asked:

"I don't have any sincerity at all. Let's forget it. I won't be here in Marigio for long. I will report to those five people and then I will go back to the New World.

The opening ceremony in Golden City is almost ready. I will attend on behalf of Happy Street. Will you go? "

"Well...it depends on the time. If I can make it in time, then I will definitely go. After all, the Navy does need to send a representative there. If I can't make it in time, maybe Mr. Bo and Polusalino will go."

Louis thought for a while and then said.

"Porusalino? Yes, that's fine, as long as the representative sent is not Gion."

Stussy muttered, and Louis couldn't laugh or cry inwardly.

From this tone, it seems that the Queen is becoming more and more dissatisfied with Gion...

But this matter was his fault, and he didn't dare to meddle in it.

Just let these two women make trouble...

After chatting with Stussy for a while, Tina rode a camel and approached Louis. She held camel milk in one hand and a phone bug in the other, and said softly:

"General, there's a situation."

Louis glanced at the phone bug in Tina's hand, and then said to the Queen:

"Sorry, something happened here..."

"Obviously you are on vacation and traveling, but there are still so many things happening, tsk tsk tsk, should I say that you are worthy of being a naval admiral?

Okay, since you have something to do, I won't disturb you anymore. See you later. "

Stussy teased with a smile.

In this regard, Louis was also a little helpless, but these things were what he should do, and he didn't find it troublesome, so he smiled and responded:

"Understood, see you later."

After hanging up the phone bug in his hand, Louis took the phone bug from Tina, picked up the camel milk, moistened his throat first, and then asked:

"Who?"

"general?!"

From the other side of the phone, a young male voice sounded both familiar and unfamiliar to Louis.

Louis was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and then asked hesitantly:

"You...Lucci?"

"It's me, General!"

Lu Qi responded quickly, with a hint of excitement in his tone.

"Oh, what's wrong, you called me specifically? Did the Whitebeard Pirates make another big move? Or did you make a new discovery?"

Louis asked with a smile. At this time, he was not aware of the changes that had taken place in the new world.

After hearing this, Lu Qi was silent for a moment, and then said: "Major Rob Lu Qi of the Navy Headquarters is reporting to you that the mission has been completed. Please give me your instructions!"

But what he said didn't sound like the sense of accomplishment or happiness that comes from completing a task.

On the contrary, it gives people a sense of relief.

Louis was silent for a long time. He raised his head, looked at the endless desert in front of him, and finally said slowly:

"Really? It's been really hard on you for so many years, Major Lu Qi!"

"it's nothing."

Lu Qi smiled pretending to be relaxed.

"Well...since you said the mission has been completed, that means you got the Dark Fruit? What was the specific situation? Did you snatch it from that Teach?"

Louis was curious about this.

After all, in his expectation, it would probably take several years for this matter to come to an end.

But I didn't expect that Lu Qi, who was so efficient at doing things, actually got this matter done in advance.

At this time, Louis was secretly thinking that after all the matters in Alabasta were finished, he would go back and arrange a rear admiral position for Lu Qi.

Then after a little transition, after two more years of qualifications, he was assigned to be the lieutenant general of the headquarters.

Judging from his strength, Lu Qi had even obtained a bounty of [-] million beli in the New World, so becoming the lieutenant general of his headquarters would have no problem at all.

As for his qualifications, he is a veteran of the Navy, he graduated from a military academy, and he has been undercover for so many years, so there is absolutely no question about his merits.

Louis could definitely reasonably arrange for him to become a general.

The only thing he needs to do is to adjust his mentality.

After being a pirate for so many years, it would be impossible for him to have no impact. The best option would be to let him go to a military academy for two years to relax.

Teacher Zefa also often talks about him.

As for whether anyone questions the fact that Lu Qi went on a personal mission for Louis, but not a mission for the Navy...

Are you kidding me? As an admiral of the navy, isn't his business the navy's business?

Who has a brain convulsion to have trouble with Louis over such a trivial matter?

"The Fruit of Darkness is in my hand now, General. Here's what happened. Back then..."

Soon, Lu Qi told Louis what happened.

Perhaps because of his personality, he speaks and acts more concisely and clearly.

In other words, it is reported on the phone bug, and it is unlikely to be a long speech.

Therefore many details are ignored.

Basically, it tells the story of Thatch robbing the caravan and getting the Dark Fruit, and then he and Teach have a battle of wits and so on.

There's not even a mention of Don Quixote's family.

But it's not surprising, after all, Lucci didn't even know that Doflamingo had switched to Louis' command.

Besides, Doflamingo never appeared during the process he was involved in.

This also leads to the fact that so far, Louis does not know that this dark fruit was snatched from the Don Quixote family.

"Finally, I followed the general's instructions and humiliated Tiqi severely in the letter. However, I felt a little confused. Is this necessary?

Although it will be very satisfying to reveal the truth like this, it will also reveal some information to Teach, General..."

Lu Qi thought for a while and then said.

"It doesn't matter, just expose it. Anyway, as long as you got the Dark Fruit, you will also appear on the sea as a navy in the future. You should know that they will know it sooner or later. I had no intention of hiding it.

If you want to say why, just think of it as some kind of teasing on a careerist who has been lurking for more than ten or twenty years, hahahaha, it’s just so boring. "

Louis laughed very wickedly.

Seeing that his general had no lower limit, Lu Qi didn't know what to say, but anyway, the current situation was just as the general said, it didn't matter whether he was exposed or not.

He wrote it deliberately ambiguously, maybe not to confuse Teach's meaning...

I guess Teach is doubting it now.

I wonder if Lu Qi is a marine.

After all, this is a bit outrageous.

"Okay, where are you now?"

Facing Louis' inquiry, Lu Qi also came to his senses and quickly responded: "The gateway sea of ​​the new world, I am preparing to leave the new world."

"Is that so? Well, in that case, I'm in Alabasta... Then you can go directly to Fish-Man Island and meet up with King Shichibukai? Jinbei. He is one of our own.

He happened to receive a call from Alabasta two days ago, and the two of you just happened to come over together, so that the road would be safe. "

Louis said with a smile.

That's right, after that guy Crocodile was frustrated by Doflamingo, he thought over and over again and decided to recruit Jinbei.

This guy was also honest and didn't do any tricks. He directly responded to Crocodile's call.
