I am brushing up materials in One Piece

As the appearance of Shields Town gradually became clearer in the group's field of vision, a warship also rushed from the direction of Shields Town.

"The Navy is coming to our rescue."

"We are here!"

"Great."

Everyone on the deck cheered and waved to the warship.

Kos looked at the red-nosed skull on the sail and the pirate flag hanging on the mast. He felt that the warship was probably not here to rescue them.

Fortunately, the artillery on the navy warship is also placed on both sides of the ship. Even if you want to sink the pirate ship, you have to get close. And when you get close to a certain distance, as long as the observers on the warship are not blind. You can know that the people on this boat are definitely not pirates.

The result was just as Cos expected. The people on the warship did not fire directly after seeing the old, weak, sick and disabled people lying on the deck and a group of people waving desperately.

But the warship still forced the pirate ship where Kos was to stop, and then a small group of fully armed naval soldiers boarded the pirate ship.

And there happened to be an acquaintance of Cos among that small group of naval soldiers.

"Long time no see, Mengka."

Kos waved his hand at the rough man holding the axe.

Hearing someone calling him, Mengka looked in the direction of the sound, and then saw Kos, who was covered in blood and holding a long straight-edged sword with a scabbard that was also stained with blood.

"who!"

Mengka immediately became vigilant, and at the same time, the navy soldier with him subconsciously raised his gun.

"and many more!"

A navy soldier suddenly made a voice that made his companions stop what they were doing.

"Isn't this Mr. Cos?"

"It's true!"

Because the navy soldiers who were with Monka were basically the same group of people who boarded the Crow Pirates, they quickly recognized Kos.

"Eh!!!"

Mengka was shocked. He raised his left hand and rubbed his eyes, finally identifying the bloody and embarrassed Kos.

"I am so sorry!"

He threw down the ax and expressed his apology with an extremely standard ninety-degree bow, while two lines of hot tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

"How foolish I was to turn swords against my benefactor."

Although Ace was the one who really took action at that time, Mengka and others regarded Cos and Deus who were traveling with Ace as their saviors.

Kos waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't say that these are gone. We have so many wounded here waiting for treatment! Let us dock quickly!"

"Okay, make arrangements now!"

Mengka straightened up and immediately signaled the warship to get out of the way, allowing the pirate ship to continue approaching Shields Town.

Seeing this simple and clumsy rough guy in front of him, Cos really couldn't connect him with the tyrant who ruled Shields Town.

Is Zangao's hypnosis really so powerful? Being able to turn such a good guy except for being a little reckless into a twisted arrogant maniac.

No, maybe it was because Mengka himself was relatively simple and didn't have much brain, so he was affected by hypnosis for a long time.

But there is no need to worry about this problem now. Crowe was hanged and Zangao was imprisoned. The old man in branch 153 should not let Mengka take a detour.

While sailing to Shieldstown, the liaison officer on the Monka ship explained the situation one by one to the branches on the shore. When the pirate ship and the warship docked together, there were already several medical teams waiting at the port. .

The seriously injured were immediately carried away on stretchers by medics and a few casual sailors who joined in to make up the numbers. Those who were slightly injured and just frightened were taken away by another team of navy soldiers and placed there.

"Brother Kesi, long time no see."

Reggie greeted Kos with a cup of coffee.

"Oh, the old man is still in good health!"

Kos also smiled and leaned forward to say hello.

After setting foot on land, his whole body felt full of security, and even the wounds on his back seemed to have healed somewhat.

"Fortunately, I won't die for a while, but my old bones can't stand the torment anymore. I don't dare to think about going to sea."

As he spoke, Reggie pretended to cough a few times.

"Stop pretending, your back is straighter than most young people."

Kos rolled his eyes at Reggie.

"Hahaha, you saw it."

Reggie burst into hearty laughter, then looked at Kos meaningfully and said,

"Brother Kos, would you like to reconsider my previous suggestion? With your strength and character, you have a bright future in the navy."

Kos shook his head decisively and said, "No, I just want to be a salted fish. A job in the navy is not suitable for me."

"is it?"

Reggie looked at the red-nosed skull and crossbones flag flying on the pirate ship and said with a smile,

"But that's not what you're doing."

"The Bucky Pirates have been wreaking havoc in the East China Sea for a while recently, and even caused a large chamber of commerce to completely disappear from the East China Sea."

"Other branches went to encircle and suppress them several times but returned with great defeat. They lost seven or eight naval warships but they didn't even touch the edge of their pirate ship."

"But you brought their pirate ship back. A salted fish can't do this."

"Just luck."

Kos waved his hand and said.

Although there is a certain element of humility in his words, they are not entirely lies.

After all, if the Bucky Pirates didn't treat the merchant ship as an ordinary ship and take the initiative to approach, then Kos really wouldn't be able to do anything about them with Bucky's bombs.

"But speaking of it, the three of you are quite interesting. You called yourself a salty fish but you almost wiped out a powerful pirate group by being single. Those two people looked like they were preparing to become pirates, but they ended up becoming pirates. hunter."

"What?"

Kos's face was full of confusion, and he didn't understand what Reggie was talking about for a while.

"Oh, so you don't know? Ace and Deus have also become famous recently. They arrested the captains and most of the cadres of the Creek Pirates and Alita Pirates."

Reggie explained slowly, then he glanced at the Buggy Pirates' pirate flag and said jokingly,

"In addition to the Black Cat Pirates and the Buggy Pirates that were destroyed by you, the three of you were destroyed by the three of you who were slightly famous in the East China Sea. You three are simply the nemesis of pirates."

"Eh? Ace, arrest the pirates?"

Kos didn't quite understand why Ace became a pirate hunter.

Is it because I got bored waiting for my reply, so I found some pirates to kill time?

No, that guy is not that kind of person either!

Or was there some conflict with those two pirate groups?

It is possible. After all, those two pirate groups are not good people. Maybe Ace met them when they were bullying the weak.

"Who knows?"

Reggie didn't quite understand what was going on. When he first saw Ace, he knew that Ace was definitely the kind of pirate who would sail for his dreams, but now he was a little doubtful whether his judgment was wrong.

"How about you all join the navy? Maybe the three of you can become the leaders of the new era of the navy!"

"Old man, you are really persistent!"

Cos could no longer complain about this old man who tried his best to recruit people to join the navy.

"I have rejected you several times, and I am sure that Ace and the others will never become pirates."

"But don't people's thoughts change? If you change your mind now, but I didn't ask, wouldn't the loss be great?"

After smiling and saying the half-joking words, Reggie finally stopped pestering him, patted Cos on the shoulder and said in a concerned tone,

"You also go and take care of the wound, and then take a good rest. Thank you for your hard work."
