All kidding aside, Rocks really asked me to be the captain!

The first half of the Grand Line, at Nine Snake Island.

The entire island is covered with dense trees and mottled light and shadow, filled with the unique atmosphere of primitive jungle.

On the beach of the coastline of Jiushe Island, wave after wave of sea water crashed into the gap between two black reefs under the push of the waves, bringing out clusters of fine white waves.

At this time, almost all the female warriors of the entire Nine Snake Island gathered together.

With an extremely nervous and panicked expression, he looked at the man in front of him who was leaning against two graves, one big and one small, and drinking a lot of wine.

"Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Black Arm Zephyr! Our Queen of the Lily Kingdom said that no man is welcome here!!!"

"If you, the Navy Headquarters, really want to go to war with us, then come on!"

A tall female warrior with a healthy tan skin walked up to Zefa and warned him in a very serious tone.

She is Minister Hualan, one of the most trusted ministers of the Lily Kingdom by Queen Tori.

Responsible for managing the operation of the entire country when the empress is away.

At this moment, even when facing an admiral with the highest combat power in the Marine Headquarters, there was no sign of cowardice in her eyes.

Because there was no joking in what she just said!

The Lily Kingdom is a country located in the doldrums!

They can fully rely on their unique geographical advantages to resist any large-scale war launched by any force in the world!

The reason is because there are tens of thousands of huge super sea kings lurking in the doldrums!

As long as these guys don't leave the Calm Belt, no force will be able to launch a massive attack on their Lily Kingdom!

Even the expensive and extremely sturdy large warships of the Navy Headquarters would not be able to withstand a single blow when encountering these terrifying sea kings and would be sunk directly to the bottom of the sea!

"Well, don't be nervous. I will leave as soon as possible. Give me two more minutes..."

"My wife and child are buried here... Forgive me for not protecting them... My wife was once a resident of your Lily Kingdom~"

"Please allow her to return to her hometown again....Thank you~"

Zefa took off his gold-rimmed glasses which had already been blurred by tears.

His originally loud voice had already turned into a hoarse and dull state over the past few days.

To this day he still hasn't forgiven himself for why he rushed out that day to take on that bizarre mission.

If he had followed the normal rules and regulations that day and stayed at home to spend time with his wife and son, none of this would have happened.

And he would not become a lonely man who lost his wife and lost his ambition in middle age.

"You are talking about Marilyn! What happened to her? Why did this happen!!!"

The tall female warrior looked at the grave with a cross on it and looked at Zefa in front of her with some surprise.

I didn't expect that he was about the same age as me.

Marilyn, who was once considered a playmate, returned to Nine Snake Island in this state after going out to sea for several years.

When Marilyn said that she was going out to find true love, they reluctantly parted on the beach.

I didn't expect to see you again in just a few short years...but it would be in such a situation.

"You are the admiral of the Navy Headquarters!!!"

"Can't you even protect your own wife? What's the point of a man like you living in this world?"

"You useless piece of shit! Hurry up and take those navy soldiers with you and get out of our Nine Snake Island. We will never welcome a useless guy like you here!!!"
