The gourmet among pirates

"Escorting the royal families of various countries? This is really a troublesome task!"

Because of her childhood experience, Taoyao didn't have a good impression of these royal nobles at all.

So like Mo Lin, Taoyao was not too cold about this task.

But since this task was personally assigned by the Warring States Marshal, they had to complete it even if they didn't like it.

However, if you want to escort the king of a country that is a member of the World Government to Marigioa, you must leave the East China Sea and go to the Grand Line.

If Mo Lin, a homebody who has lived in Donghai for several years, would like to go out to the East China Sea, would he be willing to accept it?

After following Mo Lin for so many years, no one knows better than Taoyao what kind of temper Mo Lin is.

Thinking of this, Tao Yao said strangely: "It's strange. According to your personality, you can't push this kind of thing if you can. Why did you agree this time?"

Maureen: "······"

[Alas, I was a bit offended. I made a joke about the Warring States period by mistake, and then I was bitten by this old yin! 】

Of course, Mo Lin would not take the initiative to say such embarrassing things.

So as soon as he put down the tableware in his hand, Mo Lin stretched, then touched his flat belly and said.

"After staying in the East China Sea for more than 20 years, it would be good to go out for a walk. Moreover, if my guess is correct, this world conference will pass a major event. If we witness such a major event with our own eyes, maybe we will always You can brag about it to your grandchildren after you get it!"

Taoyao didn't believe Mo Lin's reasons for going out.

But Mo Lin's last words made Tao Yao a little bit wild.

[‘When we grow old’, and ‘grandchildren’, is this guy Maureen implying something? 】

Thinking of this, a slight blush appeared on Taoyao's cheeks, making her unable to hear clearly what Mo Lin said next.

On the other hand, Ace put down the photo in his hand and asked, "Teacher, do I want to go to escort the kings to Mariejoia this time?"

"What, don't you want to go?" Molin looked at Ace and said.

Ace shrugged and said nonchalantly: "I don't care, but if we all leave, what will happen if pirates come out to cause trouble in the East China Sea!"

Maureen rolled her eyes when she heard this.

"Do you think Lieutenant Colonel Buddy and the others are all dead? Besides, the somewhat famous pirates in the East China Sea were either killed by you or imprisoned. What are you worried about!"

"Don't worry, without your famous 'Fire Sword' Ace, the East China Sea will not be in chaos."

Ace, who was already half-grown, muttered angrily, muttering something in a low voice.

Looking at Ace who was so angry, Mo Lin suddenly felt funny.

He smiled and said: "By the way, the Kingdom of Goa is also a member of the World Government. When we pass by the Kingdom of Goa this time, we can just go to the Windmill Village. I remember you haven't been back for a long time, right? Do you want to come together this time? "

"Ah! Do you want to pass by Windmill Village? Then I'll go too. I haven't seen Luffy and Dadan for a long time. I just want to go back and see them this time!"

As soon as he heard that the escort team was going to pass through Windmill Village, Ace immediately jumped up excitedly.

In the past few years, he was either busy practicing or chasing pirates, and he really didn't go back much.

The last time I went back was a few months ago.

If they were to pass by Windmill Town this time, they could just go back and take a look.

By the way, the teacher has to cut off some of the Neptune-like meat he hunted and hide it later. Then he can bring it back to Luffy and Dadan to have a taste. Otherwise, with the teacher’s appetite, it won’t be long before those The teacher will eat the meat.

Ace felt like laughing inexplicably when he thought of Luffy, the foodie, excited about eating delicious Neptune-like barbecue.

"I'm going to go now. I originally thought that after we talked about Marigio, you should still be able to see Lieutenant General Garp! Compared to Luffy, you and Lieutenant General Garp should have not seen each other for a longer time. yes."

Faced with Molin's teasing, Ace couldn't help but think of Mr. Garp.

In this world, apart from his mother who lost her life to give birth to him, it is actually not an exaggeration to say that Garp is the person who has paid the most for Ace.

Although Ace never called Garp grandpa, he regarded Garp as his grandfather from the bottom of his heart.

In recent years, due to the increasing prevalence of pirates, Garp has become even busier.

In three years, Garp only took time to return to the East China Sea twice in a hurry.

One of them took Luffy away for various physical (devil) training, and the other time sent Luffy back.

What was a coincidence was that when Garp walked to the Upside Down Mountain twice and passed the "Endgame" Fortress, Ace happened to be out chasing pirates and was not in the "Fortress".

In this situation, Mo Lin was helpless!

Who told Mr. Karp to do things unreliably? Just think about it!

Before coming, I didn’t know to call him to inform him.

Maureen thought that Ace would not be able to tolerate your so-called "surprise" like a surprise attack.

However, although Garp did not meet Ace, his godson, during those few times, he was still very satisfied with the teachings that Morin had given to Ace in the past few years.

Just three years.

The eldest grandson who gave him a headache not only gave up his dream of being a pirate, but also became an 11-year-old naval lieutenant commander with unlimited potential.

This is something that Garp has spent several years and failed to accomplish!

This made Garp shout that he had not seen the wrong person.

And in addition to the change in his thoughts, Ace's strength has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

From a delinquent who only knows how to do three-legged cat kung fu.

He turned into a user with extraordinary strength and natural burning fruit ability.

Even Garp, who is staying at the Navy Headquarters, has heard several times that there is another "talent" with unlimited potential in the East China Sea!

At that time, Garp thought that the natural yakishao fruit on Ace was obtained by Maureen. When he came back, he specially prepared a large box of donuts and senbei as a thank you gift. Gave it to Maureen.

The thank-you gift consisting of donuts and senbei deeply impressed Mo Lin at the time, and he had a profound understanding of Garp's unreliability.

How could anyone take these snacks as a thank you gift?

······

after one day.

On the pier in the southern district, Morin sent a custom-made naval flagship "Terminus" with three escorts to guard the large luxury cruise ship that arrived overnight. They quickly left the port and officially started. This is an escort mission.

Because of time constraints.

In addition to his group of people, Mo Lin also mobilized four other large branches in the East China Sea. In the shortest time, he picked up some of the kings of the World Government's participating countries on the ship, and then escorted them to the designated place to join Mo Lin and the others. , and then reunited to go to the Holy Land of Mary Joa.

Under Robin's arrangement, the matter of escorting the king of the world government's participating countries is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Because of the distance, before going to Shuangyue Village and Windmill Village, Molin also stopped by Cocosia Village.

From a long distance away, Molin saw the seven-meter-high sentry tower near the pier of Cocosia Village, and the small naval base that had just been built next to the sentry tower.

Well, saying it is a small naval base is an understatement.

There are only four or five two-story small bungalows, plus a flat land in the middle for training, and the sentry tower that usually serves as a lighthouse. This is the entire naval base.

Including the base commander and the miscellaneous soldiers, there are only about twenty people in this small naval base.

Two ten-man teams, plus three miscellaneous soldiers, two cooks, a logistics officer, and the base commander, there is no one else in this small base.

Logically speaking, it doesn't matter.

The Navy will not build this small naval base in Cocosia, a poor village, because it is a total loss-making business.

But who said the base director (Bermere) of this base has a hard relationship?

As the initial instructor of the Governor of the East China Sea, Mo Lin arranged a small base for Cocosia Village, where no one dared to gossip.

As for Bellmel, who serves as the base director of Cocosia Village, it was also Molin's idea.

And it was Bellemere who personally called and persuaded him.

It would be difficult for Bellemere to support herself just by relying on the orange orchard passed down by her family, let alone her two children.

As the director of the base in Cocosia Village, Bellmere can at least get a pretty good salary. Although this will not make her rich, with the addition of the orange orchard, it will be more than enough to support Nami and Nokigao.

Every once in a while, I can add some small things to my home and improve my life. This is much better than the hard days three years ago when I almost couldn't even afford Nami's medical treatment.

Of course, the reason why Mo Lin established this small naval base in Cocosia Village and brought Bellemere back into the naval system was actually a little selfish.

Ever since I learned that Instructor Bellemere was the same Bellemere who died at the hands of the fish-man Aaron in the original work.

Maureen is actually taking action.

He wouldn't wait for that fishman Aaron to really cause harm to Bellmere and the others, and then play a hero to save the beauty or something.

The damage caused at that time is irreparable, so what a hero to save the beauty!

For disasters like Aaron's, it's better to nip them in the bud.

If Aaron hadn't come to the East China Sea yet, Mo Lin wouldn't have minded killing that group of extremist fishmen himself.

However, Aaron's incident also reminded Mo Lin that although Aaron had not been sent to the East China Sea at this time, this sea was not calm either.

So Mo Lin simply built a super-small naval base in Cocosia Village for public and private use.

With this base, ordinary pirates would not blindly want to plunder Cocosia Village.

Although the base is small, it is a great deterrent to pirates. In addition, it can also bring some income to Bellmere, which can be regarded as killing several birds with one stone.

······

Cocosia Village is just a slightly larger village, and the dock on the island is not very deep.

So Molin did not let their large warships and luxury cruise ships come in.

They just sent a small boat to Cocosia Village to purchase some fruits.

It also gave Maureen a suitable reason to go to the island.

Because Mo Lin was visiting the enlightenment instructor, Robin and Taoyao, who were busy with their affairs, did not follow Mo Lin to the island.

Only Ace followed Molin and the purchasing ship sent by Molin to board the Cocosia Village.

A naval flagship, three large frigates, and a large luxury cruise ship. Such a battle has already alarmed the naval base in Cocosia Village.

Before Molin and others approached, Bellmere and twenty naval soldiers had been waiting on the dock for a long time.

Wait for the purchasing boat to dock.

Molin jumped from the procurement ship to the dock with a single step.

As soon as Maureen, wearing the cape of the Navy Governor, stepped onto the pier, the soldiers on the pier, led by Bellemare, stood at attention and saluted!

Shouting: "Hello Governor!"

Looking at Bellmere, who was wearing a military uniform and looking dashing, Molin smiled and said, "Why, now that I'm back in military uniform, I've become quite fond of me, Sister Bell!"

Bellmel, who was opposite Mo Lin, instantly broke his skills after hearing this, and laughed and cursed: "What's the point of birth? This is a formal occasion. I, a little base commander, must not give you, the governor of the East China Sea, any face, otherwise, you guy What if you put on small shoes for me in the future!"

"Tch, if I dare to wear small shoes for you! You still have to go to the Fortress of End and beat me!"

······

Behind Bellemere, there were soldiers who were still nervous about the arrival of a big shot like Governor Morin.

After seeing the familiar appearance of the Governor-General and his beautiful base director, his eyes widened instantly, and the fire of gossip was burning in his eyes.

On the contrary, because of this special relationship, the soldiers inexplicably let go of their fear of Mo Lin.

······

After joking for a while, Mo Lin briefly explained his purpose.

Then Bellemeier called to the two groups of soldiers behind him, and took the seven or eight soldiers who got off the purchasing ship to go to the village to purchase fruits.

Of course, Bellemere did not forget to ask them to take a trip to her orange orchard and sell the oranges she had stored in her orange orchard.

Bellemare is not a stubborn person. She will not miss this opportunity to kill a big dog owner.

After all, she still owes Maureen more than one million Baileys!

Out of boredom, Ace volunteered to lead the team and follow Bellmere's soldiers to purchase fruits.

Molin and Bellemere walked to the naval base nearby to reminisce.

After seven or eight turns.

Bellmeier took Maureen to her room on the second floor of the base.

Because of the small number of people, Bellmere's office looks quite big.

After taking some ice cubes from the refrigerator nearby, Bellmeier cut a few slices of lemon and made a glass of lemonade for Maureen.

"Here, add honey to the water, it's delicious!"

"Thank you!"

After taking the lemonade from Bellemeier, Maureen took a sip and found that it tasted surprisingly good.

Well, the taste is somewhat similar to the lemonade from Mixue Ice City that he drank in his previous life. It’s delicious and not expensive!
