Pirate: I'm about to do something big!

Chapter 72 Departure

"From today onward, officers and soldiers are one; officers eat what soldiers eat, except for the sick!"

"Food waste is not allowed!"

"Soldiers must not be beaten or verbally abused without cause!"

"Nationals of non-member states and nationals of member states must be treated equally!"

"Maintain good personal hygiene!"

"All actions must be carried out under command!"

"In short, my requirements are very simple. Since you've come with me to Branch G-1 as my soldiers, we're one team. Here at Branch G-1, there's only one rule! And that is fairness! Fairness! And the fucking fairness!"

"Now, let's eat!"

Alyosha, in the mess hall of G-1 branch, eloquently explained to the officers and soldiers there the core articles of his "G-1 Branch Naval Regulations," which he had written.

After saying that, he hung the two signs filled with the rules that needed to be followed at the entrance of the cafeteria.

This caused the officers and soldiers in the canteen to look at each other in bewilderment.

But instead of going to the private room where the lieutenant was eating, Alyosha led Luffy and the other kids to a random spot in the cafeteria and sat down, competing with them to see who could eat the fastest and the most.

The soldiers in the mess hall began to eat with some doubt. Soon, Ain and Binz, who were in the private room, also came over and sat at Alyosha's table, joining the eating contest.

Then came the third, the fourth...: all 18 lieutenants came from their private rooms to the main dining hall to begin their meal.

Alyosha has also completed the first step in reforming the G-1 branch navy.

The rules that he could set an example for at Marineford headquarters but could not implement were finally put into practice after Alyosha arrived at the G-1 branch.

That night, Alyosha also came to the soldiers' barracks and showed them how to fold blankets into neat squares. He also rearranged the soldiers' dormitories and the tasks they had to do at night.

In short, Alyosha had to transform the G-1 branch he managed into the kind of unit he was familiar with in the shortest possible time.

After explaining and demonstrating the regulations concerning internal affairs, Alyosha then arrived at the dormitory building where Luffy and his crew lived.

Luffy and the others had already gone to sleep, but one guy was still awake.

It is Buffalo, the chubby guy who is still loyal to Don Quixote Doflamingo to this day.

This chubby kid didn't dare to cause trouble at Marineford headquarters, but once he got to G-1 branch, he started having unrealistic fantasies again.

"Buffalo, are you still thinking Doflamingo will come to save you?"

"Young Master will definitely come! Young Master will not abandon any member of the family. Young Master said we are all family!"

Faced with Alyosha's gentle words, Buffalo, the chubby boy, sounded somewhat weak when he spoke.

"Well, family won't abandon family. I'll send someone to talk to Doflamingo and see if he'll come to take you back."

"Young Master is no match for Mr. Alyosha."

"Buffalo, didn't you yourself say that Doflamingo wouldn't abandon his family?"

Buffalo was taken aback by Alyosha's question and didn't know how to refute it.

"I will give Doflamingo a chance to come and save you, but if he doesn't come to save Buffalo, it means he has abandoned you. Buffalo, you'd better just be my student. Goodnight."

After Alyosha finished speaking, he came to Buffalo and gently tapped Buffalo's forehead with his finger, causing the stubborn little fat boy to fall into a deep sleep.

He threw him onto the bed, covered him with a blanket, and then Alyosha closed the door and left the dormitory building. There he saw Monet, who was now Alyosha's assistant, leaning against the door.

"Miss Monet, send the information to Doflamingo."

"What do you want me to say to Ming-ge?"

"Just tell him my schedule for the next period of time."

"False intelligence?"

"Authentic and accurate information."

As Alyosha left, Monet followed him, taking out the Den Den Mushi (spy phone) that connected him to Doflamingo right in front of Alyosha.

The North Sea, the home of the Don Quixote family.

Doflamingo stared at the World Economic News newspaper in front of him with a gloomy expression. The print on it was a picture of Alyosha and King clashing with their ultimate attacks.

"Bru bru~"

The spy Den Den Mushi on the table rang, and Doflamingo answered it immediately.

"How does it feel to be an assistant to the branch base chief, Monet?"

"I'm very busy, young master, but Alyosha trusts me."

"Do you have any good news to tell me?"

"Alyosha Ran will be patrolling the territorial waters near the Red Line for the next period of time."

"That's certainly good news, Monet. You haven't betrayed me, have you?"

"In fact, Alyosha doesn't seem to care that you, young master, will appear, so please be careful."

The Den Den Mushi hung up, and Doflamingo stared at Alyosha's photo in the newspaper, his expression gloomy.

He knew Monet was right. As a powerful pirate under the World Government's command of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the World Government had a strict order that the Seven Warlords must not attack the Navy. If they did, they would be stripped of their title and their previously frozen bounties would be reopened, making them a target for the Navy.

He spent a great deal of money to ask Kaido to send the Three Disasters, but he still failed.

Seeing Alyosha's image on the newspaper bulletin board, Doflamingo's gloomy expression softened into a smile, and he let out a strange laugh.

"Hahaha, interesting, interesting. You went to so much trouble to make a name for yourself at sea, only to be transferred from headquarters to guard the G-1 branch. Alyosha Ran, what exactly is your justice? Perhaps we can talk about it in another way."

Alyosha had no idea what method Doflamingo planned to use to retrieve the family members he had taken away, but for Alyosha, whose strength was now second only to the Four Emperors, he was not afraid of any schemes or tricks. Playing tricks? Get past my Destructo Slash first.

A week has passed in a flash.

The marines of G-1 branch also began to adapt to the internal affairs regulations and disciplinary rules promulgated by Alyosha in G-1 branch.

With the rules established, the next step is to use those rules to completely integrate the marines of Branch G-1 into a cohesive unit, a force that belongs solely to Alyosha and obeys only his orders.

On this day, at the port of G-1 branch.

As the assembly whistle sounded, five hundred elite marines assembled at the port.

Led by Alyosha, they boarded a medium-sized warship belonging to the G-1 branch. Their goal for the next period of time was to conduct an extended training exercise around the member states in the territorial waters of the Red Earth continent adjacent to the G-1 branch, completing a patrol of these member states.

He would make Alyosha Ran's name known throughout the lower half of the Grand Line in the New World, deterring any villains!
