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

After that, the two followed Dashigi to the naval base in Rogue Town.

"Navy...Navy 69th Branch?" (The original novel didn't specify, so this is just made up.)

Zoro looked at the words written on the building in front of him, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

Of course, it’s not that Zoro was surprised that Tashigi was a navy or was afraid of the navy, but he was speechless that a pirate like himself would take the initiative to run to the navy base. It was ridiculous just to think about it.

"Why are you standing there? Come in, Zoro." Yi Chen urged Zoro from behind.

"Hey, didn't you see what's written here? This is a naval base. Is it really okay for two pirates like us to appear here?" Zoro said to Yi Chen.

"Oh? Do you think the two of us can't defeat the navy in this base?" Yi Chen asked Zoro with a chuckle.

Hearing this, Zoro tightened his grip on the hilt of his knife, with a slight smile on his face: "Although it may sound a bit arrogant, we two really don't have to worry about the navy in this base. I just don't want to make things more complicated."

"That's fine. After all, Luffy is the only one in our pirate group who has a bounty on his head. Even if we walk past them openly, they won't recognize us as pirates."

There is no need to worry about whether the conversation between the two will be heard by passing marines. Yi Chen has already used soundproofing magic to prevent the sound made by Yi Chen and Sauron from being transmitted out of the space where they are.

"Come in quickly, what are you doing standing at the door?" Tashigi, who had already entered, urged Zoro loudly.

Hearing this, Sauron walked in quickly, and Yi Chen followed.

When Zoro walked inside, he saw Tashigi holding a mop and a bucket of water and handing them to him: "What is this for?"

"The uncle in charge of cleaning just resigned."

As she spoke, Dashiqi's serious expression changed into a gentle smile: "As long as you work in the navy, you won't have to worry about money anymore. You are so lucky."

"And you, why did you follow here?" Tashigi asked Yi Chen behind Zoro.

"As for me? I just want to see what method you are going to use to make him compensate you. I will learn from you then. Please don't mind me." Yi Chen said while chuckling and pointing at himself.

"What a joke, why should I work in the navy?" Zoro was forced to take the bucket and mop with a reluctant look on his face, and then he was about to hand the mop and bucket back to Tashigi.

When Dashiqi heard this, her expression immediately changed and she said angrily, "You want to run away, right? You ignore the kindness of others, don't you?"

"For you, spiritual poverty is a bigger problem than having no money!"

For a moment, Zoro didn't know what to say.

"I said..."

"Sergeant! It's time for training." Just when Zoro finally found an opportunity to speak, a Marine suddenly appeared and saluted Tashigi.

"Then please do your best." After saying this to Zoro, Tashigi followed the Marine and left.

"Sergeant?"

"Don't worry about his official rank for now. What are you going to do now? Should you delay or..."

Hearing this, Zoro responded calmly, "Wait until she comes back."

"By the way, were you laughing secretly just now?" Zoro asked Yi Chen while mopping the floor.

"No, you must have heard it wrong."

"There's no way I'd trust you!" Sauron couldn't help but complain when he saw Yi Chen's cheeks bulging from trying to hold back his laughter.

Afternoon...

Nami was walking on the street with a smile on her face, carrying a large bag of clothes.

"I bought a lot. Let's go to the next store."

As Nami walked, she saw two wanted posters for Luffy posted on the wall, and then she arrived at the entrance of the naval base.

"Sea... Navy..." Nami subconsciously took two steps back when she saw herself approaching the entrance of the naval base, then popped her head out to look towards the entrance of the naval base.

Originally Nami wanted to leave directly, but she seemed to see two familiar figures, so she stopped to see if they were the two people she was thinking of.

At this time, Zoro was walking out with a bucket of water, complaining: "Really, why would I do this?"

"I don't know who just said in such a cool way that we should at least wait for that woman to come back before leaving, but now he is complaining like a nagging woman."

Yi Chen teased beside Sauron.

"What do you mean by like a nagging woman? Could you please use more normal words?"

Listening to Yi Chen's abstract teasing, Zoro put down the bucket in the water and complained loudly to Yi Chen.

"Why is Zoro working here in the navy, and why is Yi Chen also... Never mind, just pretend you didn't see it."

Nami originally wanted to ask Yi Chen why he was there, but when she saw that the two were so engrossed in the conversation, she didn't want to disturb them and turned around to leave.

"Hey, Nami, what a coincidence, why are you here too?"

Just when Nami was about to leave, Yi Chen teleported in front of Nami and greeted her.

"Hey!" Nami was so scared when she saw Yi Chen suddenly appear in front of her that she subconsciously took two steps back.

After seeing that the person coming was Yi Chen, Nami pouted her lips and complained to Yi Chen: "Hmm, really, you suddenly appeared in front of me because you want to scare me to death, Yi Chen."

"Ah, Guomei Guomei, I'm so sorry for scaring you by showing up so suddenly."

Yi Chen put his left hand on the back of his head and apologized to Nami with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

Although Yi Chen appeared to be apologizing on the surface, he was actually laughing in his heart, because Yi Chen suddenly appeared just to scare Nami.

Although this was not a good idea, after seeing Nami's cute pouting face, Yi Chen said that as long as the result was good, it was fine.

"Nami? Why are you here?" Zoro looked at Nami at the door and asked lightly.

"I should be the one asking you this question. Why are you working for the navy here?" Nami chuckled and asked Zoro who was holding a mop.

"I...I...uh..."

Although he wanted to explain the reason, due to shame, Zoro was unwilling to say that he worked here because he owed others money.

"Oh, you mean Zoro, he is because..."

"Yi Chen!"

"Ok?"

Just when Yi Chen was about to explain the reason, Sauron interrupted him. After Yi Chen turned around, he saw Sauron shaking his head like a rattle.

Yi Chen instantly understood what Zoro meant, then chuckled, and then did not continue to tell Nami the reason why Zoro was working here.

Seeing this, Sauron let out the breath he had just held in his nostrils all of a sudden. Fortunately, Yi Chen didn't say it out loud, otherwise he would have been embarrassed to death.
