Pirate: I'm about to do something big!

Marineford is a town formed by the families of Marines from the Marine Headquarters and some indigenous people.

Originally, the scale was not very large, because the marines of the Marine Headquarters came from all over the world or the Grand Line, and their families were far away in their hometowns. It was only after the wife and children of the former Marine Admiral and current Chief Instructor of the Naval Academy, Zephyr, were killed by pirates in retaliation that the scale gradually grew.

No marine wanted to see their family members back home killed by pirates, so they escorted their families to Marineford to live.

Over time, Marineford became a town comprised of marines' families, in addition to its numerous military fortresses, and also served as a unique source of recruits for the Navy Headquarters.

Meanwhile, in the canteen of the dairy factory in Marineford's first town, Alyosha was leading Luffy and his newly recruited crew in a hearty meal.

The factory manager and employees were astonished by the incredible appetite of Luffy and his crew.

"Delicious, delicious, uncle! Could I have another bowl?"

Thanks to his rubber body, Luffy became the biggest eater among the group of kids. This was already his 100th bowl of beef noodles. When he asked the cafeteria worker for another bowl, Law, who could no longer tolerate it, took the initiative to cause trouble.

"Hey, Straw Hat Kid, you'd better stop this now!"

"Mr. Fuzzy Hat from Beihai, you seem very worried."

Lieutenant General Crane's granddaughter, Peacock, watched the three brothers eating the most voraciously at the table and, dressed like a lady, teased them.

"Isn't this obvious? Today is our first day of training, I don't believe Mr. Ran would be so kind."

In response to the peacock's teasing, Law readily admitted that seeing Alyosha standing with the dairy factory owner, having witnessed Alyosha's antics against Doflamingo in the North Sea, he always felt that Alyosha had ulterior motives for bringing them to the dairy factory.

After Luffy finished his 150th bowl of beef noodles and looked like he was finally full, Alyosha walked over with a smile.

"Are you full, Luffy?"

"I'm very satisfied, teacher!"

"Then let's go outside to eat something. Teacher, you can pay first."

"Okay~"

In the open space of the dairy factory, Luffy quickly digested the beef noodles he had eaten. After eating his fill, he was quiet for a rare moment. A group of kids standing outside saw Alyosha come out with the dairy factory owner. Alyosha was carrying an extra piece of clothing and a bundle, and he was also holding a contract covered in writing.

"Then I'll leave the next three months to you, Mr. Alyosha."

"I should be thanking you, Uncle Mick. Thank you for your help."

"Haha, it's nothing. These kids are very energetic. I trust your judgment, Mr. Alyosha."

Milk factory manager Mick stood aside, while Alyosha approached the group of children with a grin, announcing both good news and bad news.

Bad news: Luffy's eating and drinking just now has eaten up their food budget for the whole week.

Good news: Alyosha signed a contract with the milk factory manager, Old Man Mick, that as long as they deliver the milk from the factory to the families in town who have ordered milk on time every day, they can eat for free in the milk factory canteen.

"Teacher Ran, this isn't fair! Straw Hat Boy eats the most, so why do we have to deliver milk too? And this town is so big!"

Peacock followed suit, saying, "Why do I, as your grandmother's granddaughter, have to do this kind of tiring work, Mr. Ran?"

Alyosha listened to the others' objections with a smile before speaking, "The first lesson is to learn to earn your own reward through labor. You all entered the school in the same batch, so you're all part of the same group. Therefore, whatever Luffy eats will also be counted towards your income."

After saying this, Law looked directly at Luffy, who was completely unaware that his gluttony had incurred the wrath of the crowd.

At this moment, Luffy cheerfully raised his hand and asked, "Teacher, can I drink the milk?"

"Of course you can, but you have to deliver the milk on time before you can come back to my place to drink it."

Milk factory manager Mike picked up where Alyosha left off, explaining to Luffy with a smile, while Alyosha chimed in.

"Also, you can't sneak milk. If you don't finish your work on time, you won't get a full meal. So starting tomorrow, the teacher will be just like you, a temporary employee of Old Man Mick."

Looking at Alyosha, who still maintained a gentle smile on his face, Luo, who was the most mature, felt that Alyosha had planned how to train them from the very beginning.

That night, at the Naval Academy's new campus office.

Luffy and his crew had already gone to sleep, but the office was brightly lit.

boom!

Smoker slammed his fist on Alyosha's desk, a cigar dangling from his lips, looking utterly displeased.

"I don't recall headquarters allocating such a small amount of funding to you, Ran. What are you doing?"

"Calm down, Smoker. Training these kids into excellent Marines is no easy task. It's a kind of training for them too."

"I don't see any point in this kind of training. Are you planning to play house with these kids, Ran?"

"Hey, don't be so nervous. We just finished a mission and will have a long vacation. Relaxing is a kind of spiritual practice."

"Tsk, you're always talking to yourself all day long, I can't be bothered with you."

Seeing that Alyosha was unmoved, Smoker was too lazy to argue with Alyosha any further and prepared to leave, but Alyosha stopped him.

"By the way, Smoker, why don't you order some milk from Uncle Mick too? In return, you can enjoy my home delivery service!"

Alyosha's words seemed to have a magical power, freezing Smoker, who was about to leave. Smoker, with a cigar in his mouth, turned around and saw that Alyosha had already put on the persona of a dairy factory worker, holding an order form in his hand. He, who spent most of his salary on buying cigars, was now somewhat tempted.

Does Alyosha bring her milk every day?

hey~

Just thinking about that scene made Smoker smile involuntarily.

At the entrance of the office, Alyosha watched Smoker leave with a satisfied expression before returning to his seat with a smile. He then picked up a Den Den Mushi and dialed the numbers of everyone he knew at Marine Headquarters.

"Moshi Moshi? Mr. Kuzan, I am Alyosha Ran. Would you like to order some milk?"

-----------------

The next day, at the crack of dawn, the milk delivery team led by Alyosha set off from the milk factory in Marineford's No. 1 town. Following the pre-assigned route and with a map, they began their first door-to-door delivery.

First, let's focus on our first employee, ten-year-old Luffy.

Although it was his first time in Marineford, thanks to his completely outgoing personality, he successfully found out the location of the first Aokiji Kuzan who needed to be delivered to his door from the early-rising townspeople.

Standing at the door, he knocked on Kuzan's door and shouted:

"Mr. Kuzan, I've brought you some milk!"
