Pirate: Nami! Give me back my Berry!

"Major Lami, you see, I was right, this guy can handle it!" Colonel Huba couldn't hide his pride. But he was actually quite surprised, because the strength Ling Yan showed just now exceeded his expectations.

"Yes, Colonel Hoba, he is indeed very strong. But Colonel Hoba, we still have to rescue Marino." Sister Lami's face was still cold.

As a major in the Navy Headquarters, Marino is not something that their Rogue Town base can handle, otherwise Hoba would not have allowed Marino to do evil for so long.

"Yeah, I almost forgot. Thanks to Major Lami for reminding me." After Lami's reminder, Huba realized that he still had to find Marino back, otherwise if Marino's backers knew about it, he would probably be suppressed.

Then Huba immediately ordered the dispatch of naval warships to salvage Marino, and Huba also arrested Marino's team of marines and put them all in the base's jail. Marino couldn't handle it, so could he not handle these marines?

He also took this opportunity to clip Marino's wings in Rogue Town.

It was completely dark by now.

In a big bed room of the hotel, little Nami's face was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

That was a naval lieutenant commander, yet Ling Yan was able to defeat him so easily. Now she finally had a rough idea of ​​Ling Yan's strength.

"Okay, Nami, even if I am very powerful and can protect you, you still have to continue practicing." Ling Yan looked at Nami's excited little face and knew what she was thinking.

She just wanted to take a break when she got back. After all, seeing how strong Ling Yan was, she felt that she didn't need to practice so hard.

"Humph!"

"I know, let's practice. By the way, Ling Yan, do you think that loudmouth will discover us?" Nami thought that Colonel Hoba was Marino's superior. Would he not know what Marino had done?

So when Marino came to cause trouble for them this time, Nami thought that Hoba might have already known that Bart's treasure had been taken away by them.

"It's okay. We'll be going back tomorrow anyway. And as long as he doesn't know it was us who sneaked into the naval base, it'll be fine." Ling Yan replied in a relaxed tone.

"Well...that's right. I'm so tired after a busy day. Ling Yan, I'm going to sleep first!" Nami yawned and walked towards the big bed.

"Nami, you haven't showered yet!"

“——Ah!”

"I'm going to get up and wash it tomorrow!"

----

The next morning, Ling Yan and Nami woke up early.

They had already visited all of Rogue Town, so they wanted to return to Kokosia Village as soon as possible to avoid any accidents that might cause Colonel Hoba to target them.

After leaving the hotel, the two children went straight to the breakfast street and started shopping. After eating their fill, Nami went to the bar and bought a lot of fine wine to take back for Bellmère and Ajian.

-

A few minutes later, in the back mountain of Rogue Town, Nami was already skillfully lying on the back of Ling Yan, who had transformed into a full beast form.

"Hold on, Nami, I'm about to take off!"

"Yeah, I've got a firm grip!"

The next moment, Ling Yan flapped his wings and flew high into the sky with a whoosh!

In the naval base, Colonel Huba, who had just finished breakfast, seemed to have noticed something. He looked up at the sky, only to see a fiery red shadow flash by.

Only after flying out of the jurisdiction of the Rogue Town Naval Base did Ling Yan begin to reduce his flight altitude and speed. This was also Nami's request, as she wanted to feel the climate closer to the sea more clearly.

Ling Yan was flying very slowly, close to the sea surface. Nami was sitting steadily behind Ling Yan, writing and drawing in a notebook.

But then the sound of several artillery shells exploding broke this beautiful scene. Nami heard the sound and immediately put away her notebook.

"Ling Yan, I heard an explosion. Do you think it was pirates?" Nami looked in the direction where the explosion came from and asked curiously.

"That should be it. Those fighting at sea are either pirates or navy. Let's go over and take a look. To be honest, we haven't seen pirates in the two times we went out to sea." After saying that, Ling Yan changed direction and flew towards the direction of the explosion.

Nami on his back also held Ling Yan tightly, with a look of anticipation on her little face. She naturally knew about pirates, but had never seen them before.

Not long after, the two had already reached the battle area. What appeared before them was a medium-sized pirate ship, attacking a merchant ship!

And Ling Yan and Nami both knew that merchant ship!

"Ling Yan, it's Captain Gulachi and the others! What should we do?" Nami asked anxiously.

She recognized the captain of the merchant ship at a glance. This man was none other than Gulachi, the owner of the merchant ship in their Kokosia village.

Gulachi is a businessman with a conscience. He transports supplies from other islands back to Kokosia Village and sells them to the villagers at very cheap prices, so Captain Gulachi is very popular among the villagers.

"Nami, don't be anxious. The pirates haven't attacked Captain Gurachi's merchant ship yet. So, you go back to the other dimension first, and I will take care of that pirate ship!" Ling Yan said calmly.

"Okay! I'll go in right away." Nami knew that she couldn't help much at the moment, so she opened the space door and went in.

After Nami entered the different space, Ling Yan began to lower his flying altitude, and hot flames began to emerge from his body.

"Phoenix...Phoenix! It's actually a Phoenix!"

"Captain! It's coming down towards us! What should we do!"

On the pirate ship, all the pirates noticed the fire phoenix in the sky, and they all clearly felt that this phoenix with terrifying flames burning on its body was targeting their pirate ship!

"Captain Gulachi, it's really the Phoenix! What should we do?" On the merchant ship, the sailors and guards were also terrified.

"Don't panic! It looks like the Phoenix is ​​targeting their pirate ship, so we shouldn't attack it!" Captain Gulachi ordered in a deep voice.

----

"Everyone! Shoot! Shoot at Phoenix! Shoot him down!" the pirate captain shouted excitedly.

The phoenix is ​​a legendary beast! If their pirate group can capture a phoenix and sell it to those wealthy nobles, their pirate group will become rich!

The next moment, all the pirates pointed their guns at Ling Yan. Suddenly, all the guns rang out, and all the bullets were fired towards Ling Yan!

But the next second, the pirates showed expressions of astonishment on their faces. Those bullets actually penetrated the Phoenix's body without causing any damage!

"Fire Emperor·Meteor!"

High in the sky, Ling Yan roared angrily, and his wings flapped violently. A fireball with a diameter of ten meters appeared and descended towards the pirate ship at an extremely fast speed!

"Quick...run!"

"What a huge fireball! Captain! It's going to hit our pirate ship!"

"asshole!"

"--boom!!"

"what!"

"Help!"

"It's so hot! Captain, save me!"

Amidst a chorus of terrified curses, Ling Yan's fireball directly hit the pirate ship, instantly blowing it apart!

On the merchant ship, everyone stared in amazement at the scene happening before their eyes.

"Captain Gulachi... just now... did the phoenix speak just now..." a sailor asked in a trembling voice.

"Asshole! Stop talking nonsense!" Captain Gulachi cursed.

Captain Gulachi now understands that the Phoenix that just appeared is the legendary Devil Fruit user!

Captain Gurachi was afraid that his crew would anger this powerful devil fruit user, which would bring them disaster.

But when they looked up again, the phoenix had disappeared!
