Pirates: The ship's deputy is the biggest supporter of the Straw Hat Pirates

"3000 million Baileys, this is a bounty amount. I'm sure the headquarters will take action. We have to be careful of those powerful bounty hunters."

"This time the enemy is different from the ones we encountered in the past."

Zoro thought so as he leaned against the side of the ship with his eyes closed.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go, the Grand Line..."

Luffy, Sanji and Usopp, the three of them danced happily with their shoulders linked.

Luffy was happy because of the amount of his bounty, Usopp was happy because the back of his head was on the bounty, and Sanji was happy because he thought that he would also have a bounty in the future.

…………

On the sea, a somewhat shabby navy ship was sailing.

Inside the room, a man with short pink hair was sitting on a chair drinking.

"Damn, these cheap guys are so uncomfortable when they are drunk."

The drunk man stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

"I really miss the days when I could sit with a beautiful woman and drink vintage wine."

"Because of that one time, I met that terrible waiter (Sanji), and it became a turning point in my destiny."

As the man said this, he recalled the scene where Sanji was strangling him fiercely.

"Because of the serious damage to the reputation of the Navy, the title of Headquarters Captain (Captain) was revoked."

"And he was sent to this border waters as the commander of a ragtag force."

The pink-haired man said dejectedly.

dong dong dong~

"Former Captain Hopodi!"

bang——

At this moment, a marine knocked the door a little too hard and it fell to the ground. (The quality of the ship's door was poor)

"What are you doing? It's so noisy. You're disturbing my hangover!"

"This... this is a new bounty." The Marine took out a bounty he had just bought from Seagull and handed it to Hobodi.

"Just leave it on the table. It has nothing to do with this kind of border troops anyway."

"No, I seem to have seen this face somewhere."

Hobodi looked at Luffy's smiling face and suddenly remembered that he had seen them in the sea restaurant. And Luffy told him that it was a newly established pirate group.

"Just like that, a pirate ship captain who looks stupid can get a bounty of 3000 million berries."

"I don't know why the bounty on a pirate like that is so high, but this is a chance for me to escape from this boring hell."

"That kind of kid is easy to catch. I want to use this achievement to climb back to my position as captain at the Navy Headquarters!"

After thinking about it, Hopodi quickly ran to the deck and shouted loudly: "Assemble!"

Upon hearing this, the eight idiots on the boat gathered in front of Hobodi.

These eight marines all had dead eyes and looked listless.

"Young men, let's go!"

Although Hopodi felt that these eight people were very weak, but when he thought of Luffy's appearance, he felt that they could be defeated, so he spoke to everyone.

"Going to war, where? Former Captain."

A fat man who looked at Hopodi with dead fish eyes asked.

Hearing this, Hopodi held his chin up and fell into deep thought, saying: "This... this... should be a restaurant on the sea."

At this moment, Yi Chen and others' ship, the Merry, happened to pass by the side of Hobodi's ship.

Luffy sat on the side of the ship and looked at the tattered navy ship next to him, which even had patches on its sails, wondering: "Was it defeated by pirates from somewhere?"

"It's the wreckage of a warship."

"The navy is really something, actually dumping wreckage all over the sea." Usopp couldn't help but complain as he looked at the ship in front of him.

"It's your grandma's shipwreck. Are you blind? Have you forgotten about my Iron Fist Hobodi?"

Hobodi, who was on the deck, immediately broke down when he heard that, walked to the side of the ship and yelled at Luffy and Usopp.

"Ah! It's the navy uncle from that time. Are you in trouble? Do you want me to save you?"

Hearing this, Luffy recognized Hobodi's appearance and asked him.

Although Luffy said this sincerely because he wanted to help Hobodi, Hobodi heard it as a sarcasm towards him.

Hearing this, Hobodi also broke down on the spot, clenched his fist towards Luffy, and said as if he could kill Luffy with one punch:

"Don't be ridiculous, you little brat! If you meet me here, your luck has come to an end."

Then Hobodi pointed at the bounty in his hand and said, "Monkey D. Luffy, I want to arrest you!"

"It's a good shot." Luffy said with a smile after seeing the bounty.

"The back of my head isn't bad either," Usopp laughed.

Hopodi ignored the two and ordered his men: "Fire!"

bang——

A black cannonball flew straight towards the Merry, but because it was fired too quickly, Luffy didn't react in time, causing the cannonball to pass over him.

It flew straight towards Yi Chen's face who was sleeping against the side of the boat.

"Oh no, Yichen!"

boom--

The shell exploded directly on Yi Chen's face, followed by a burst of black smoke.

"Yi Chen!" Seeing this, everyone exclaimed.

Nami, who was reading a newspaper nearby, also hurried into the black smoke to check the situation.

"You bastard, what did you do to my vice-captain!"

When Luffy saw Yi Chen being hit by a cannonball, the veins on his forehead bulged instantly, and his face, which always had a smile on it, now looked unusually hideous.

Hobodi was frightened by Luffy's appearance and broke into a cold sweat. He then adjusted his expression and laughed, "Look, this is Xiaochang who looked down on me. If you don't want to be like him, surrender quickly!"

"Look, I'm not going to..."

Just as Luffy was about to rush forward to kill Hopodi, a voice interrupted Luffy.

"Who the hell is this! Don't you know that disturbing someone's lunch break is very rude?"

The black smoke gradually dissipated, and then a dust-covered face appeared in front of everyone.

"Yi Chen, you're okay, that's great!"

When Luffy saw that Yi Chen was fine, his ferocious face immediately turned back into a smiling one.

Yi Chen, who was angry, asked everyone indifferently with a stern face.

"who is it!"

"he!"

Luffy and Usopp both pointed at Hopodi on the navy ship.

Hopodi was sweating profusely at this time. "How could someone be unscathed after being hit by a shell?"

"A monster that must not be provoked!"

"Why would such a monster appear on this little devil's ship..."

Hobodi, who was shaking all over, couldn't help thinking as he looked at Yi Chen, whose face was covered in ash.

"So it's you, Brother Chance. I didn't want to bother with you, but you've pissed me off!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Chen suddenly appeared behind Hobodi and pressed down on his shoulders.

"Ah! Spare... spare me..." Seeing this, Hopodi hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Since you've pointed your gun at me, you should know what the outcome will be!"

rustle……

Before Hobodi could finish his words, he was turned into an ice sculpture.

"Before Hobodi..."

The eight marines around were suddenly frozen into ice sculptures and stood on the deck before they could even utter a word of surprise.

rustling...

boom……

Then the entire ship turned into ice and sank to the bottom of the sea.

After turning the navy ship into an ice ship, Yi Chen returned to the deck and washed the dust off his face.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on?" Sanji, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard the noise and came out to find out what was going on. Unexpectedly, he saw a naval ship next to him that was turned into an ice sculpture by Yi Chen and sinking to the bottom of the sea.

"What's going on? This is so amazing!" Usopp also exclaimed.

(Neither Sanji nor Usopp have ever seen Yichen's ability to freeze his enemies.)

"Well, don't be surprised, this is Yi Chen's ability."

Zoro on the side said lightly.

"So that's how it is, but what exactly happened?" Sanji asked puzzledly, because Sanji felt that there was no need to kill the marines if it was not necessary.

"Listen to me, this is what happened..." Usopp began to explain the reason to Sanji.

"I see. So if you hadn't had the defensive magic you cast, you would have been killed by that marine."

"Since the person you killed was someone who wanted to take your life, then there is no problem."

After listening to what Usopp said, Sanji nodded and said.

Luffy and the others thought so too.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Lunch is ready. Let's go in and eat."

"Great, dinner is ready!"

Hearing this, Luffy was the first to rush into the cabin.
