Pirate: My partner is too crooked

"That ship just now is the famous sea restaurant recently?"

On board the naval warship, Colonel Moss looked back at the Infinite Dream, which was slowly docking in the port of Firth Town.

"The young and handsome boss captain, the beautiful girl with blue hair and blue eyes, it should be that they are right."

The adjutant next to him carefully looked at Lin Zhi and the three people standing on the deck, his brows slightly furrowed and he wondered, "It's just that the information we have so far does not have information about the blond man." "

The East China Sea is not small, not big.

As a navy stationed here, they would naturally also pay attention to a strong man like Lin Zhi who suddenly appeared.

"Looking at that face, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary crew member."

Colonel Moss bit into a large cigar in his mouth and spat out thick choking smoke rings from time to time.

"The battle scenes with the Black Cat Pirates just now were recorded, right?" He rubbed his hard beard on his chin and asked instead.

Compared to why the owner of this sea restaurant landed in a town that was attacked by pirates, he was more concerned about his heroic posture of wielding a knife against pirates and actively protecting the safety of the people just now.

"Please rest assured that none of the wonderful pictures have fallen, especially the footage where you block in front of the civilians and face several pirates, go back and let the Ministry of Information process it a little, it is definitely a rather shocking illustration!"

The adjutant took out the phone bug that recorded the image from his arms and displayed it in front of Colonel Moss.

"That's good." Colonel Moss nodded in satisfaction.

The adjutant next to him looked left and right, making sure that the sailors on the warship were busy with their own care, and after no one paid attention to the situation here, he leaned into Moss's ear and whispered:

"Let's come here with the Black Cat Pirate Group a few more times, and your transfer to the headquarters will be stable, Commodore!"

"Huh? What are you calling me? Colonel Moss's eyes suddenly became displeased.

"After being transferred to the headquarters, aren't you a brigadier general." The adjutant looked flattering.

"Didn't Lao Tzu say many times that you should shout your current title when working!" Colonel Moss looked serious and serious.

Having said that, the smug smile on the corner of his mouth could not be concealed in any way.

"Yes, yes, it's a small faux pas." The adjutant naturally had a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Colonel Moss stopped paying attention and turned his head to look into the distance and could not see the vast sea at the edge.

After a few seconds of contemplation, his expression gradually became gloomy and cold.

"If you want to be transferred, it's not enough to just drive away the pirates..."

"What do you mean?" Guessing that some kind of possible adjutant's expression changed.

"Let's go back on the normal route first."

Moss waved his hand to remain mysterious and didn't explain much. The

sails engraved with the word "justice" were extremely conspicuous, and with the blessing of the sea breeze, the warship pushed the tide and sailed into the distance.

On the other side, the town of Firth.

The raging sea of fire, like an apostle from a terrifying hell, devours everything in the bustling town.

Bright fire light shone on Lin Zhi's three faces, and the unbearable heat wave was wrapped in the smell of burning. The sound of crackling

wood burning in houses continued to echo in their ears.

It's hard to imagine that this is a town that has been rescued and protected by the navy, and it should be a sight!

"Did this all happen to the bespectacled bastard pirate?" Akuya stared blankly at the burning town in front of her.

Even if as a goddess, she has seen more terrifying scenes than this, but she still feels incredible.

Aren't those who just passed by them the Navy upholding justice?

Could it be that it is more important for them to pursue pirates than to protect their towns?

"There was a dangerous atmosphere everywhere, and I suddenly wanted to go back to the ship."

King looked directly at the sea of fire with his hands on his chest, and although there was no change in expression on his face, his heart had already retreated.

That's right, the kind of retreat that hears a heartbeat.

"Let's take a look at the situation first, the water seems to be a bit deep." Lin Zhi sighed in a deep voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly provoked the rebuttal of the great clever Akuya: "Water? Where is the water, this is obviously a fire, Lin Zhi, you won't be scared stupid, right?

"If you really want to be afraid, quickly hide in my arms, Lord Akuya will protect you regardless of your previous suspicions!"

Lin Zhi casually glanced at the rather broad mind of the goddess of water, his gaze was surprisingly pure, without the slightest distraction.

“...... Then you're pretty good.

As he spoke, on the corner of the burning street, a young girl with short sleeves and black paint suddenly ran over.

After seeing Lin Zhi and the three standing at the port, their tired and beautiful faces suddenly showed a joy that could not be concealed.

"Lord Lin Zhi, Lord Akuya, really... Is that you?

She stumbled to a halt and stood still, somewhat confused.

Lin Zhi looked up and saw that her fair face was covered with gray-black dust, her eyes were scattered and lackluster, her breathing was rapid, and she looked quite embarrassed.

Against the background of the fierce burning fire behind him, a helpless breath of despair rushed towards him.

Akuya stared seriously at the somewhat familiar looking girl in front of her, and after pondering for a few seconds, she tentatively asked, "Are you Milani?" Is that what you are praying to this goddess?

"Akuya, she's Milani." Lin Zhi silently corrected next to him.

As he had guessed earlier, the believers that Akuya felt in the village of Kokoasi were among the dozen or so slaves they had rescued from the pirates.

At that time, when I went to the 153 branch of the Navy to exchange for a bounty, I handed over these kidnapped poor people to the Navy to help deal with it, but I didn't expect to go around in circles and meet in this form on this Zhumeida Island.

Fate is sometimes really wonderful.

"Lord Akuya, Lord Lin Zhi! Please, please save the town of Firth!

Thinking of her hometown, which was being consumed by the fire, Milani plopped down on her knees and burst into tears.

At some point, behind her stood full of grimacious townspeople, all of them hanging their heads, and the deep sense of powerlessness made them clench their fists desperately.

Ordinary residents who have experienced pirate attacks seem so small and humble in the face of this fire.

"Of course, no goddess can remain indifferent after seeing the tears of her believers!"

Akuya, who was usually the best at swinging, was very active, raising her hand to hold the goddess staff in her palm, and a complicated and mysterious magic array lit up under her feet.

Water droplets levitate and converge into a gurgling stream of water that surrounds her.

As Akuya's eyes closed slightly and began to chant, an even larger formation condensed above the town of Firth. Yikes

!

A rushing flood fell from the sky, and in an instant, it fell into a sea of fierce fire.

The water and the fire wear each other out, erupting water vapor that covers the sky, and the oppressive heat in the air gradually dissipates.

The cool sea breeze blows, pulling away the deep mist, and everyone is presented with a scene of scorched ruins.

Although the flood summoned by Akuya has to some extent brought secondary damage to the burning town, it is enough to make the physically and mentally exhausted townspeople grateful to Dade compared to letting it burn to the end.

"Ju, you can actually summon this level of sky water..."

"Miracles! This is nothing short of miraculous!

"Milani is not crazy, what she said before is true, there really is a goddess in this world!" Where

had the residents of Firth Town, who didn't even know what the Devil Fruit was, ever seen such an extremely shocking scene?

Thinking of the words that Milani said safely after being kidnapped by pirates, they looked at Akuya's eyes again, and immediately became extremely reverent and in awe.

"Lord Goddess of Water, thank you very much for your help!"

Led by the mayor of Firth Town, the ashen-faced residents bowed down one after another, expressing their highest respect to Akuya, who had rescued the entire town.

"Ahahaha, raise your hand, raise your hand!"

This long-lost feeling of being admired by everyone made Akuya instantly swell, raise her head and chest, and look proud.

"We have always been responsive to the requests of faithful believers, after all, I am Lord Akuya, the goddess of water!"

Looking at Akuya's villain's oblivious, the corner of Lin Zhi's mouth twitched.

My mentally retarded goddess, when you trouble bragging, can you not bring me and king?

His intuition told him that trouble would come to him next.

Thinking like this, suddenly, Lin Zhi noticed a little boy standing in the corner of the crowd.

Because the residents were all kneeling on the ground at this time, the standing boy stood out from the crowd and looked very conspicuous.

"Mom, they don't look like bad people, why do you still kneel on the ground?"

The boy with a small face full of black dust stared at Lin Zhi and the three of them blankly, his innocent eyes flashing with incomprehensible doubt.

In his cognition, only when encountering those fierce pirates from the sea did he need to kneel and beg for mercy and beg the other party not to kill him.

"Lord Akuya is a god, a benefactor who saved our entire town, quickly obey, quickly kneel."

The woman next to her with her long hair curled urged, pulling her son to kneel.

The little guy was unmoved, still standing in place stunned.

"If you don't obey again, I will confiscate the candy for you!"

The mother seemed a little impatient about her child's non-cooperation, and reached out to grab a candy that was tightly squeezed by the little boy in her palm, and half of her coat was burned by the fire.

Although only a few years old, the stubborn little boy also has his own temper and bottom line.

Hearing that his mother, who had always loved him, actually threatened him with candy, his legs bent slightly...

Don't hesitate to choose to lower your bottom line!

"That, your admiration for this goddess has already been truly felt, in fact, there is no need to kneel down specifically!"

Such a big movement naturally could not be concealed from Akuya, who had a keen perception.

She does enjoy the feeling of being worshipped, but she does not force lovely believers to do things against her will.

Hearing this, a bright smile suddenly appeared on the little boy's dirty little face: "Mom, look, I'll just say that the big sister is a good person!" At the front of the crowd, the eyes of the

mayor of Firth Town, who felt the kindness of Akuya, flickered.

After hesitating repeatedly, he still raised his old wrinkled face and said to Akuya in an almost pleading tone:

"The old man knows that it is too much to say this, but Lord Akuya, can you please help us and take back the sacred fruit that represents the peace and harvest of the town that was stolen by the pirates?"

When the words fell, the other residents of the town looked at Akuya with a hint of anticipation in their tired eyes.

The so-called "divine fruit" seemed to be a very important thing for their town.

Looking at the new believers' earnest and enthusiastic eyes, the smug Akuya patted her chest and agreed: "I didn't ask..."

"Sorry, can't."

Her fart, ah no, before her words were finished, she was interrupted by Lin Zhi, who was on guard the whole time.

The unusually decisive refusal made the mayor of Firth Town stunned in place.

Glancing at the protesting gaze projected by Akuya, Lin Zhi was expressionless, looked at the residents kneeling on the ground, and slowly spoke: "We are just passing by sea restaurant merchants, and if you recover the items plundered by pirates, you better go and ask the navy for help."

The mayor of the town suddenly showed bitterness, brewing many words that could not be said completely.

"Those people have come several times just now, and each time they chase the pirates away and leave, and my mother said that they were originally colluding with that group of pirates!"

In the end, it was the young boy who told the truth.

"Huh? Isn't it their duty to catch evil pirates?

Akuya was taken aback and said indignantly, "Since you all know about this, why don't you complain and let that damn guy get the punishment he deserves?!" Hearing this, the mayor of the

town, Milani and the residents of Firth Town all lowered their heads, and their eyes were dull.

"Because it's completely useless."

In the end, it was Lin Zhi who stood up to answer the confusion in Akuya's heart, "Judging from the results, they successfully protected innocent residents in the attack of pirates, and they are worthy heroes."

"But, yes! They obviously allowed the pirates' wanton behavior!

Akuya shook her head, completely incomprehensible.

"Even so, there is no evidence to prove this fact, right?" King, who remained silent the whole time, made a rare speech.

"Then it's up to us to knock those pirates away!" Akuya clenched her fists angrily.

She really couldn't see her beloved believers being oppressed in this way.

"Akuya, remember well, we are businessmen in business, not the navy, and we have no obligation to fight pirates." Lin Zhi said in a deep voice.

Captain Chloe of the Black Cat Pirates is a tricky guy, not like Bucky's simple-minded and pure idiot.

Through the short encounter in the restaurant last time, his speed and defense far exceeded ordinary people, and he mastered the domineering entry method, and he had absolute confidence to solve Chloe in a one-on-one situation.

But the other party is a complete pirate group after all, and Akuya and King on their side are difficult to say, and there are too many uncertainties in taking the initiative to attack.

Sitting on the Trevi Fountain, he had no reason to take such unnecessary risks for the sake of some insignificant residents.

Lin Zhi's words made Akuya instantly deflated, puffing out her cheeks and tilting her head to the side.

The townspeople of Firth Town also saw that the indifferent young man in front of them was the core figure of their gang, and even Lord Akuya, who was able to summon the flood, was headed by it.

The thought of what was taken away from them, and the darkness that followed, enveloped them with an atmosphere of despair.

"However, businessmen, what is most important is profit, if you can give enough rewards, it is not impossible to help you snatch back any divine fruit."

Lin Zhi's next words made them fall into despair and restore some light again.

Then, it fell deeper into the bottom.

Not to mention the rich remuneration, they who have just been robbed by pirates, they can't even make up a million Bailey!

"I'm sorry, that kind of thing, we really can't get it now..." Mayor Firth slumped on the ground weakly.

Without paying attention to the decadent old man, Lin Zhi stepped forward slowly, passed through the kneeling crowd, and went straight to the little boy who was standing.

Swish!

The extremely fast palm passed through the air, and before the little boy could react, Lin Zhi had already torn open the burned outer packaging, opened his mouth and threw the candy in.

After a few sips, well, the taste is not bad, quite sweet.

"I am very satisfied with this reward, so I accept your commission!"

It is true that with their current lineup configuration, the head-on crusade against the Black Cat Pirate Group with Chloe needs to take certain risks.

Lin Zhi considers himself a rather conservative (steady) Gou Bi who does not act on impulse.

But for some reason, looking at the ruins of the town burned down by the fire in front of him, looking at the residents kneeling in front of him with their eyes dishonored, looking at the ignorant children who can only kneel to the bad guys, something in my heart burns inexplicably.

Lin Zhi pondered for a long time, still unable to figure out what the thing that went straight to his chest was.

It wasn't until Akuya's phrase "it's up to us to shoot those pirates away" echoed in his ears that he suddenly realized.

Is that...... What a

blood that has been silent for many years!

So, the risk of fucking !!
