Pirates Into the Navy

In the port city of Nahana in southern Alabasta, Navy Headquarters Captain Smoker sat on the ground.

At noon, the ground was hot under the sun, but Smoker didn't seem to care. He was holding a cigar in his mouth and frowning.

"Colonel, this is the fifth time Colonel Hina has called. I think it should be..." Navy Staff Sergeant Daschi came to Smoker's side and reminded Smoker for the fifth time.

The old and the young are really annoying, Smoker said impatiently with half of his face covered in smoke.

"No need to answer."

Seeing that Dasqi was unmoved, holding the phone bug in both hands and staring at him seriously, Smoker said helplessly: "Hina probably found out that we arrived in Alabasta. With her temper, she must He will nag endlessly, saying that the government does not allow large-scale deployment of troops in this country, and that he must obey the orders of his superiors. It’s okay if he doesn’t listen to these nonsense.”

"But, but." Dasqi looked at the phone that kept ringing in his hand, "If it was just to say this, Colonel Hina wouldn't be so insistent."

No matter what, maybe it was because of the headache caused by the phone bug, Smoker sighed and said: "You answer, let her finish the matter in one breath and then hang up."

Dasqi was relieved and quickly picked up the receiver.

"Hello, Colonel Hina, I'm Tatsuki."

"Ming, I understand." Smoker looked at the microphone handed to his mouth and glared at Dasqi fiercely.

"Colonel Hina said that if you don't pick her up, you'll keep calling her." Dasqi felt aggrieved when her boss gave her an indifferent look.

"Hi, I'm Smoker."

"You are in Alabasta now," Hina continued before Smoker could object.

"There is something Hina wants you to pay attention to."

"Are you sure you want to land here?" Hina stretched out her slender finger to point at a certain location on the map, a little confused by Al's unexpected choice.

The warship has sailed into Alabasta. This country is divided into two parts by the Sundora River. On the west side of the Sundora River, from north to south, there are cities such as Yudi, Yuba, and Marmaru. On the east side of the river are the port cities of Nahana, Catrea and the northernmost capital Barbana.

At this moment, the warship was moving along the Sentora River. Hina originally thought that Al would disembark at the port of Nahana. After all, that was the city with the most frequent exchanges with the outside world in Alabasta. It was crowded and more likely to be hidden. He was interested in the information, but Al seemed to have his own plans.

Nahana was close to the headquarters of the rebel army. Hina slipped her finger and pressed it on Catrea, which was no more than a mile away from Nahana. Relying on the oasis, the rebels led by Kosha set up camp here and continued to accumulate strength. .Knowing that a war was about to break out, but deliberately avoiding the most likely battlefield, Al's mission was indeed not simple. Hina felt that her suspicions were supported by Al's various actions.

"There are some things that must be dealt with." Al stood at the bow of the ship. His first stop was not Nahana, but the Rain Land.

"The one you asked me to contact has already been contacted." Hina stopped asking any more questions, because she knew that even if she asked Al, she wouldn't answer. As members of the special operations force, their every move is a secret.

In a slightly silent atmosphere, the warship arrived at its destination.This is a small port in the eastern part of Rainland. The warship that Al asked Zina to contact has been waiting for a long time. There are more than ten marines standing scattered on the deck.

"This is the phone bug to contact the warship. During your stay in Alabasta, this warship is under your command." The female colonel acted vigorously and resolutely, without any delay. Al nodded with satisfaction.

"Then, I'll take my leave first." Hina watched Al disembarking, and at the same time ordered the warship to turn around.She needed to return to the fleet and ask if anything unexpected happened while she was away.

"Thank you" Al shouted loudly, watching the warship slowly leave. He turned his head and found a row of navy standing neatly behind him.

"Please give me some advice during this period," El said after a pause, and continued to ask, "Do you have a cloak for crossing the desert?"

I originally thought that the new commander who had just taken office would explain the tasks, but I didn't expect that he would ask this question.Standing at the front, the navy officer with the rank of second lieutenant spoke up.

"Report Major, yes"

"Okay, give me one, and give me a map of Alabasta, the more detailed the better."

The navy couldn't help but look at each other in confusion. Hearing this, the new commander planned to act on the shore, so what should they do and leave the ship here?

"You guys just stay here and wait for my next instructions." Al seemed to have anticipated what the navy was thinking, and Al spoke first.

"At the same time, if there are any suspicious ships around here, remember to report it to me through the phone bug."

The navy looked at Al who was gradually going away. No matter how puzzled they were, they were helpless towards this hands-off shopkeeper. Within the navy, subordinates must obey the orders of their superiors.

Of course, "Mad Dog" Smoker, who was also in Alabasta and was still confused by Hinai's sudden call, was definitely an exception.

The bright moon hung high, and the white moonlight seemed to cast a silvery glow on the sand dunes, making them look dreamy and desolate. Al raised his head with difficulty and looked at the brightly lit rainy land of the casino in front of him. He almost burst into tears, although there was no excess moisture. Made him cry.

"We're finally here." Some passers-by in gorgeous clothes heard Al's dirty words, and they all pinched their noses and walked around this suspicious person who was covered in wind and sand, wrapped tightly in a cloak, and had a mask on his face. .

This person's taste is evident in such a wicked mask.

Al miscalculated two things. First, although he had a map, the map did not mark the exact distance from the port to the rainy land, and the distance was unexpectedly long.Second, Al, who had no means of transportation but was very confident in his own foot power, finally realized the horror of the desert.

The temperature during the day was high enough to boil eggs, but at night it could be as low as sub-zero. Compared with the sea, Al felt that the desert he had just walked through was more dangerous.

Fortunately, he survived. If the navy hadn't thought carefully and prepared drinking water for him, Al would probably have died of thirst on the way.

Another unforgettable lesson.

After replenishing his water, Al touched his somewhat dry wallet and walked towards his destination.One thing Hina didn't expect was that in her mind, Nahana, the port, was the best place to collect information, but it wasn't.The mixed rainland is a better choice. Navy, pirates, whether they are government officials or underground parties, all live freely in this city controlled by the Shichibukai and Crocodile.

Of course, this also includes the revolutionary troops who came from nearby countries after receiving orders from Al.

Al went straight along the Central Avenue, turned right, went straight and then turned left, and came to an abandoned alley. He continued to move forward, and finally stopped in front of a small house.

There are secret codes on the mottled walls that only the revolutionary army can recognize.

"Come out, or I won't be polite." Al said calmly, his voice echoing in the alley, and the only response to him was the rustle of the leaves blown by the wind.

With his knowledge and domineering attitude, he naturally knew that no one was following him, but this behavior was a necessary ritual for spies. Sabo was right. Al always had his own persistence in strange places.

Pushing open the creaking wooden door, the oncoming dust made him want to cover his mouth and nose, but he found that he was wearing a mask. From this moment on, he was no longer Major Al.

The room was in a mess.Dust, garbage, old furniture, spider webs on the ceiling, everything is there except the trace of people.Al came to the southernmost corner of the room, reached out and opened up the cans piled up, which had just been placed in this position not long ago.

Then, he tapped the floor rhythmically with his heels, ,,,4,,,,4, three times in total. Not long after, a dull sound came from under the floor.

"Loyalty and determination to die."

"A prairie fire, the land of freedom." Al replied.

The floor was lifted, and the visitor had surprise on his face, but he hesitated when he saw Al wearing a mask.

"You are"

"I'm V." Al's voice sounded more magnetic than usual, the corners of his mouth on the mask were slightly raised, and his beard looked a little funny.
