Feeling the loss of strength in his wrist, Smoker lowered his grip on the weapon.

"Don't even think about taking them away until you defeat me."

"You seem to want to fight me?" Quinn frowned slightly.

Smoker answered him with action, and the smoke quickly filled the surroundings, his determination unwavering.

Quinn shook his head helplessly, and suddenly exerted force on his hand. He struck the Smoker who was ready to attack with the power of a tiger coming out of its cage. The overlord's color wrapped around him in an instant, defeating the smoke covering the surface and heading inside.

"Uh--"

Smoker felt like he was being attacked by a huge force, and his body quickly retreated in an instant, making a dull sound from his mouth.

Although he is not what he used to be now, at best he has only reached the level of the original Luffy two years later and was even worse. In front of Quinn's absolute power, he is as weak as a piece of paper.

The white smoke and building dust intersect, and the surrounding visibility is extremely low, but within the range of Nami and Quinn's perception, the opponent has almost lost its fighting ability.

"boom--"

Unwilling to fail in the face-to-face encounter filled his heart. The stubborn Smoker smashed open the rubble at the ruins and stood up with force.

When the smoke cleared, the corners of his mouth were covered with blood, which showed how powerful Quinn's blow just now was.

"Cough cough!"

"I said you don't want to leave until I fall." Smoker looked at Quinn firmly, with a death wish in his words.

He may not be a good subordinate, but he is definitely a competent navy man who will not hesitate to sacrifice his life for his ideals.

Quinn and him looked at each other for a long time, and then they were in front of him in a flash.

Smoker's expression was extremely tense. He reacted instantly when he saw the situation, but he was still much slower.

Quinn grabbed his deep arm, and the force was so strong that he couldn't move.

"I won't be able to explain to that guy Aokiji if I kill you, not to mention I admire you very much."

"Stop saying these disgusting words and have fun!" Smoker was obviously startled after hearing the word "Qing Pheasant", but his attitude remained tough.

"I'll help you." Quinn said lightly, and bursts of lightning flashed on his hands.

"Zizi~"

The arc of electricity in the alley gradually dissipated, and a figure fell to the ground.

Nami came forward with a suspicious look on her face, "Did you really kill him?"

Quinn shook his head slightly, "It's just to let him experience the feeling of death. Besides, this guy won't let us leave safely if he's awake."

Not far away, Luffy and the others breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, but were not surprised by Quinn's strength.

Quinn turned around and looked at the group of people, smiled slightly and said, "Boys, after all the fighting and making trouble, it's time for us to officially part ways."

Luffy was a little confused when he heard this, "Nani, aren't you going to sail with us?"

Zoro struggled to find his sword and sighed: "It's such an extreme environment. If it weren't for you this time, we would have ended our voyage."

Sanji threw the cigarette butt on the ground. He wanted to say thank you in his heart, but on the outside he refused to lose face. He looked like he was hesitating to speak, which was very strange.

"Ah, we still have to say goodbye." Nami spread her hands pretending to be relaxed, but there was a look of reluctance on her face.

Quinn glanced at Smoker on the ground, and said to Luffy and others: "I'd like to trouble you, send him to the naval base."

"I'll wait for you at the town center tavern."

Luffy immediately became excited when he heard the word "tavern" and rushed over with a quick stride.

"Whatever the problem is, leave it to us."

Zoro also walked over slowly, and he and Luffy held up the unconscious Smoker, "Although this guy always wants to capture us, he is generally a good opponent."

Sanji helped Usopp, who couldn't even afford it, to take him for treatment.

Quinn patted Nami on the shoulder, and the latter understood. Several people left in different directions, leaving behind a crumbling ruins damaged by the battle.

………………

In the center of Rogge Town, there is only one tavern, which is large and exquisitely decorated.

Bucky pushed the door open with arrogant steps, and after simply leaning against his back, he immediately put away his posture and walked forward with a smile on his face.

"I really kept you waiting for a long time, but I do have some things to do."

Quinn glanced back at him, "I thought you weren't coming."

"How could that be? Your invitation...how could I refuse?" Bucky chuckled twice and sat down when he saw no one around him.

"This is my place." Nami appeared behind him holding two drinks in her hands. Bucky heard the voice and immediately moved to the other side.

"Here." Passing the drink into Quinn's hand, Nami flipped her hair, not in a very high mood.

In the awkward atmosphere, the sound of pushing the door reached everyone's ears.

"Banquet, banquet, here we come!"

"Can't you just calm down for a while?"

"Hey, why are there so many people here?"

Four teenagers with different looks walked in noisily. Luffy and Usopp, who could barely move, immediately shouted out after seeing Bucky's face.

"Oh!!! Red-nosed Liar!"

Bucky immediately stood up angrily after hearing this, "Who are you calling, you rude boy!"

"You guy, you deserve our share!" Luffy reached out his hand straightforwardly, very persistent in the conditions he promised.

"They say we were cheated!" Usopp's complaint transcended pain. Even if his arm was so painful that he couldn't move, he would still sing the double act with his opponent.

Bucky felt Quinn's gaze behind him and suddenly broke into a cold sweat and didn't know how to explain it.

"Stop making trouble and sit down." Fortunately, Quinn said something to ease the tension, and Luffy and the two stopped their debt collection behavior from Bucky.

Courses of Rogge Town's unique delicacies were brought to the table. Luffy, who was anxious, had obviously forgotten what he had just eaten and started to devour them.

"Be careful on the next journey. I will wait for you in Alabasta. I hope to see your growth by then."

Seeing Quinn pick up the wine glass, even Luffy, who was engrossed in eating Haisai, also acted in cooperation.

Nami held her chin up and looked at the scene in front of her. Even if she was reluctant, she could only pick up the wine glass and clink it with a few people.

As an outsider, Bucky was sitting on pins and needles at this moment, raising his hand or not raising it. He didn't even know what Quinn meant by inviting him here.

Quinn took the initiative to clink glasses with him, with a mysterious smile on his lips, "As a true senior of this sea, you shouldn't just be like this."

Bucky looked at the other person with a puzzled face, not knowing what he meant at all.

"When you go to Alabasta, I will divide an area for you. Of course, you will have to pay some price."

The reason why Bucky came to the Grand Line was naturally motivated. No matter what his goal was, he definitely needed the territory urgently.

"The price is to join you?"

"Of course not." Quinn put down the wine glass and said immediately, "I hope you remember my favor."

Bucky glanced at him hesitantly, "You still need my help?"

"Whether we help or not is a matter for the future. At least you can't stand against us."

Feeling the looks from Quinn and the Straw Hats, Bucky subconsciously shrank his neck and said with a smile, "How could I go against you? We are friends, haha...ha."
