I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

Looking at the man and woman kneeling on the ground, Director Lu generously agreed to let them get on board.

But Vice Chairman Suo was a man of principle. No one who hadn't been tested could get on board. He grinned wickedly, "Wait!"

……

Yes, as expected, an accident happened. When Sanji saw Luffy eating all the meat by himself, he gave Luffy a flying kick on the pretext that Miss Nami ate less. Luffy then broke the record pointer, and the furious Nami kicked them both off the cliff.

Fortunately, the ship's doctor was very grateful to the Straw Hat Pirates for Laboo's matter and gave them a new recording pointer.

Climbing up the cliff in a panic with Luffy and Sanji were a man and a woman who had previously caused trouble in Labeo's stomach. The woman called herself Ms. Wednesday and the man called himself Mr. 9.

As soon as he got ashore, he begged for a boat ride to the next island, and blamed the entire task of hunting Lab on the so-called "company".

Well, how should I put it, the kneeling posture is extremely standard, which shows that the attitude is very sincere.

So Mr. Lu agreed generously.

But Vice President Suo was not so easy to deal with: "Wait, Luffy! Ms. Wednesday, Mr. 9, these names sound a bit like code names, I think I've heard them somewhere!?"

In order to avoid Luffy from competing with him when they get to the town, Vice President Suo decided to reveal the identities of the two first.

The two were a little nervous: "Yes... yes, it's the code name given by the company."

"Company? Oh, then I remember." Vice President Suo patted the three knives on his waist.

"Baroque Studio, right!" Zoro grinned at Ms. Wednesday.

Ding, a bindable goddess was found - Nefert D. Vivi, do you want to bind her?

Yes!

Ding, goddess No. 6 Nefert D. Vivi has been bound successfully. Please start interacting with the goddess as soon as possible.

"Ah...how did you know?" Ms. Wednesday was shocked.

"That's not important. I'm the second captain of this ship. If you want to take this ship, you have to pass my test!"

"Hey! Sexual harassment! What do you want to do to Miss Beautiful?" The perverted cook raised an eyebrow. "Also, who agreed to you being the second captain?"

"Get lost! The last person on board has no right to speak!"

"What did you say!?"

"You perverted cook, you better shut up when I'm talking to a woman!"

"Huh? You can't harass the beautiful lady again while I'm here."

"What!?"

Bang Bang!

The two men were on the verge of a fight when Nami, the mermaid-mouthed woman, knocked them down from behind: "Shut up, everyone! Let's go!"

"Okay, Miss Nami." Dog licker.

"You bitch, I'm going to chop you up sooner or later!" Straight man.

Vice President Suo lost face a bit, his momentum was down, and he could only give up for the time being. Diuka-chan, aren't these people curious about what Baroque Studio does?

……

The climate of the Grand Route cannot be judged by common sense. The Merry is on its way forward.

The weather inexplicably changed from sunny to heavy snow, as if in an instant, spring passed through summer and autumn and arrived in winter.

The cold wind was biting, Nami wrapped herself in a thick cotton coat and hid in the cabin:

"Keep sweeping until the snow stops, Sanji-kun."

"Yes, as you command." The dog was ordered to sweep the snow.

Luffy and Usopp are making snowmen and having snowball fights.

The self-disciplined man had just finished a winter swim and walked into the cabin.

"Hey! Can't you help sweep the snow?" Nami said.

"There are more important things than that!" Vice President Suo grinned and looked at the two people trembling at the table, and slowly drew out the Ghost Blade.

thump!

"If you have something... let's talk it over..." The two men quickly knelt on the ground.

"Zoro?" Nami was confused.

"Baroque Studios—All members of the company don't use their real names. They're all referred to by code names and are not allowed to easily reveal company secrets. Almost all of the company's members are bounty hunters, right?"

"Bounty hunter!?" Nami screamed.

"I'm... sorry... but we will never go against you!" The two men's kneeling posture was still very sincere.

"Hey, Nami, could you please check the direction of the ship first?"

"I just checked... Ouch!!"

"What's the matter, Miss Nami!" Dog licker.

Nami rushed out of the cabin and ordered the ship to turn around. There was chaos outside the cabin. They encountered an iceberg, a strong wind blew, and the bottom of the ship was leaking, but all this had little to do with the three people in the cabin.

After sending everyone away, Zoro grinned at Weiwei and said, "Want to live?"

“Ah… spare… my life!”

"Okay! Answer me a question. If you answer correctly, you can live. If you answer incorrectly, both of you will die!" Zoro smiled like a devil.

"Please...please go on..."

"Then, will you be my girlfriend?" Zoro put Kitetsu on her shoulders.

"Ok?"

"I do!" Weiwei backed off quickly.

Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully confessing his love to goddess No. 6. Please keep up the good work and receive a love value + reward.

Zoro sheathed his sword with satisfaction. Just then the rain stopped and Nami came back.

"What are you going to do with them?" Nami asked curiously.

"No need to deal with it!"

"what?"

“They passed the test.”

"You must be joking!!" Nami turned into a mermaid and said, "They are bounty hunters!"

"But they passed the test." Zoro said nonchalantly.

Just as the navigator was about to call everyone to the third board meeting, Luffy exclaimed outside: "What a huge cactus!"

Nami and Zoro go out to check, and then Nami corrects Luffy: "That's an island!!"

At this time, Ms. Wednesday and Mr. 9 jumped onto the fence, grinning mischievously:

"This is Whiskey Mountain. We've arrived safely! We'll take our leave now!"

"Thanks for bringing us back, darlings, bye!"

After saying that, he jumped off the boat and escaped!

"Oh right! Those two people just now were bounty hunters!" The navigator finally had the opportunity to report to Director Lu.

"Who cares! Let's land!!"

"If those two are bounty hunters, then there might be a lot of bounty hunters inside!!" Usopp was panicked.

"Just beat them all away." Luffy shouted.

"Don't forget that we have to stay on the island for a while, because if we don't let this recorder record the magnetic force of this island, we can't move on to the next island. Moreover, the time required for recording on each island is different. Some islands only need a few hours, while others may take several days."

It was obvious that the navigator had figured out the navigation rules of the Grand Route.

After the third board of directors, the collective decision was finally made to enter the island along the river that flows into the sea.

During the meeting, Vice President Suo put forward the view that the island is likely to be a lair of bounty hunters. If we encounter island residents, no matter what their attitude towards us is, we should be vigilant to avoid being deceived.

Mr. Lu said not to worry and to make plans after actually encountering a bounty hunter.

The dog said that he would always stay by the navigator's side.

The union leader quietly retreated behind the crowd.

The Merry sailed into the island, and residents on both sides lined the streets to welcome her: "Welcome to our town! Welcome to the Grand Line!"
