With Bucky's ugly smile, he was taken by Garp's soldiers to change into a navy sundry soldier's uniform.
Um···
Inexplicably suitable?
For the next time, Garp kept looking at Bucky as if he had found a toy.
He sat on the deck like an old naughty boy, holding senbei in one hand and using the finger gun with the other to practice Bucky's evasion ability, which made Bucky complain incessantly.
Smoker and Tina stood beside Garp a little bored, watching him train Bucky.
Bucky is in trouble, and his own strength is only average. In Garp's "small stove" training, having a head full of bruises is already the best outcome.
"Boy Smoker, you should have told Ace what happened here."
Garp asked Smoker without looking back, and Smoker nodded silently.
When Garp decided to take Bucky in, he had already passed the news to Ace through a phone bug. After all, the top brass in the Navy already knew Ace's true identity. Ace just said "Haha" and then Nothing happened anymore.
However, based on the exchange between Tina and Iska, Ace does not seem to care about Bucky entering the navy.
They seemed to be busy with something very important.
······
······
Donghai, Rogge Town.
Having not set foot in this territory for a long time, Ace felt a little sad standing in the naval base.
This is where the three brothers set out to enter the Grand Line.
The familiar people are basically still there, after all, it has only been a few years, but they already look at Ace as if they were looking at someone in heaven.
There was a sad barrier between them.
"Ace, we have received the news that the expo will be held in three days."
Iska walked to Ace's side, and she handed a newspaper to Ace, which contained detailed records about the upcoming expo held by Soto Kingdom in the East China Sea.
The Soto Kingdom is the former world's most powerful alliance in the East China Sea.
Compared to the so-called "most beautiful" kingdoms like Goa Kingdom, Soto Kingdom believes that power is everything.
Making full use of the rights of the countries joining the World Government, the Soto Kingdom has vigorously developed its military strength, with a permanent army of up to 200,000 troops!
You must know that the Kingdom of Soto is just a medium-sized island kingdom like the Kingdom of Goa, and it is not comparable to the super island kingdom of Alabasta in the Grand Line.
With an elite force of two hundred thousand, the pirates simply did not dare to invade this powerful country.
The kings of this generation are also very enlightened. Taxes are the lowest in the entire East China Sea. The heavenly gold handed over to the World Government every year is basically collected from pirates and foreign trade arms.
After the New World Government liberated the East China Sea, they did not interfere in the politics of the Soto Kingdom because they believed that King Soto had already done a good job.
Without the Sky Gold and the pirates who were eyeing the kingdom, King Soto did not need to maintain such a large army, and at the same time, he did not need to maintain such frequent arms transactions.
"It's interesting. Can arms, slaves, treasures, treasure maps, and even devil fruits be traded?"
Saab took a look at the information in the newspaper and then threw the newspaper aside. "Is the information from those guys at CP0 accurate? Are you sure Roger's logbook will appear at this expo?"
A voyage log is evidence that a ship has sailed on the sea. Generally speaking, a voyage log is written by the captain himself to record their experiences on the sea.
However, sometimes, the crew or officers on the ship will also write the voyage log, but they will write it as the protagonist on the ship, and some things will be slightly different from the captain's log.
Ace and the others have returned Ryoma's body and the famous sword Shusui to Koushiro, and have given the fruits of the operation to Shimizu Mo and Chiyuki as gifts.
Qingshui Mo and Qianxue were very happy to receive this gift, but the fruit of the operation was of little use to them.
Ace and the others returned to Rogge Town this time for a piece of news released by the Soto Kingdom.
They obtained the voyage log of the Pirate King Roger Pirates.
As for who wrote this log, it is impossible to find out, but the Soto Kingdom promised that if this log is fake, they are willing to pay any price for compensation.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Ace and the others. After all, the biggest secret witnessed by the Roger Pirates was the location of Rafdru.
Whether this thing was exposed or not had nothing to do with Ace and the others, but Sabo and Kerra were worried that the logbook contained information about ancient weapons, so they decided to join in the expo together.
"The weakest sea, haha, that guy Morgans really knows how to talk."
Looking at the title "The Life of the Strongest Pirate Who Appeared in the Weakest Sea" recorded in the World Economic News, Ace couldn't help but sneer.
You know, the East China Sea is a place of crouching tigers, hidden dragons, not to mention the red-haired pirates who live in seclusion in the East China Sea, and the naval hero Garp who lives in the East China Sea.
The Pirate King Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King's deputy [Pluto] Silbaz Rayleigh, the red-haired pirate group's top sniper Jesus Bu, and Zoro, who inspires to become the world's greatest swordsman, want to be the number one The female swordsman Koina and their master Shigetsuki Koushiro are both from Tokai.
In addition, the three Luffy brothers and Nami are all from the East China Sea.
The weakest sea area?
Just kidding, no matter it was in the past or now, almost all the powerful people who are famous in the world are from the East China Sea.
Of course, Luffy and the others all joined the navy, and Jesus reluctantly joined the New World Government Army. Zoro seemed to have been sent to the naval base for training by Mr. Koushiro, and Bucky was caught and forcibly killed by Mr. Garp. The navy.
In the East China Sea, almost all the famous people have joined the navy.
If these strong men from the East China Sea read this report, Morgans would really not be afraid of being caught by the navy, having his hair plucked and burned in red wine!
However, he also understood that without some gimmicks, how could this already somewhat quiet sea stir up a storm?
"But how will it end if it creates such a big wave?"
“They say the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.”
"But who will be the fish eaters and fish sellers in the end?"
Now, the four emperors only have Shanks who is in seclusion. The only people who may compete for Roger's logbook are underground forces and some short-sighted pirates.
Forget about the complicated underground forces, if those pirates dare to get involved, they will most likely die or die miserably.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some impatient remnants of the old world government will also join in, but as long as they have some brains, they will not poke the sensitive points of the new world government and the navy. In this expo, the final confrontation will be with the new world government. The world government and the intricate underground forces.
"There shouldn't be any problems at this expo, right?"
Ace looked at the blue sky in the distance with some distress, hoping that this time he could easily get the Roger Pirates' logbook.
······
······
East China Sea, Sotho King's Palace.
King Soto III, dressed casually, is combing the hair of his beloved queen.
This is impossible to see in other kingdoms. After all, the king is the most noble person in the country, how could he do such a thing.
But Soto III and his queen were childhood sweethearts. Although it was also a political marriage, their love could withstand the test.
"King, I have an ominous premonition about this expo." Queen Kath held her husband's hand, with worry on her brows.
Soto III gently broke away from Kath's hand, and then continued to comb Kath's hair.
"Don't worry, the palace guards are on the highest alert this time. Although the presence of that thing may cause riots, if it is not dealt with, it may cause a big disaster to the Soto Kingdom."
The worry in the corners of Kath's brows still did not dissipate, but she knew that she could not stop her husband. After all, growing the Soto Kingdom was his lifelong wish, and she must support it.
"Contact them if necessary." Kath said softly.
Soto III's hand shook and he almost pulled out a handful of hair. He looked at his wife in surprise.
Kath didn't feel any dissatisfaction because of the pain in her scalp. She still looked at her husband with great concern.
"Okay, I will if necessary." Soto III sighed.
As a kingdom that has existed for hundreds of years, how could the Soto Kingdom not have some "friends"!
Time passed very quickly, Lieyang completed three shifts, and time came to the day of the Soto Kingdom Expo.
At the port of the capital of the Soto Kingdom, dozens of ships that have lowered their pirate flags are docked here.
In the sea not far away, the warships of the Navy branch were sailing and patrolling.
Colonel Stoker of the 94th branch had a stiff face as he watched one pirate ship after another break through their blockade and enter the waters of the Soto Kingdom.
That is the territory of the countries that join the New World Government, and the navy cannot intrude without permission!
"Give me more firepower! Sink those pirate ships!"
Picking up the messenger phone next to him, Stoker roared angrily.
In the distance of the fleet, there are dozens of pirate ships heading here.
God knows where these pirates were after the New World Government liberated the East China Sea. They were completely missing on weekdays, but today they all appeared.
"What a reckless guy!"
Beside Stoker, a woman holding a cigarette looked disdainfully at the pirate ship heading towards the port in the distance. She was Mary, a cadre of the New World Government, and the liaison stationed in the 94th branch.
Now, the East China Sea is under the rule of the New World Government, but they do not interfere in the internal affairs of various places. Except for some tyrannical countries whose kings were overthrown by them, they have not stationed people in any country.
At most, some liaisons like Mary who have close contact with the navy branch are dispatched. Once there is any change in the East China Sea, the New World Government can respond immediately.
This point is the same for the branches in the East China Sea or the branches in the four seas.
After all, the navy wants to serve the people, and the New World Government does the same. The top leaders of both parties may have a bit of a rivalry, but the bottom navy doesn't care about that.
You upper-level people just don’t make it difficult for them to play games.
"Your Majesty Colonel!"
The messenger ran in, out of breath, "Oh no, the sentry discovered a large fleet! There are estimated to be thirty pirate ships, flying the pirate flag of [Admiral] Creek!"
"What!"
Stoker's expression was slightly startled, "This time at the expo, even Crick, the guy who has always been hiding in the corner, showed up?"
In the East China Sea, if there is any pirate that even the navy has a headache with, it is [Escape Admiral] Creek!
His strength is not strong, but the fleet under his command has powerful firepower that can sweep through a branch!
However, what troubled Stoker the most was that Crick's ability to escape was so strong that even though the New World Government and the Navy carried out several encirclement and suppression campaigns against him, he was still able to escape.
"Let go!"
Stoker thought for a long time, gritted his teeth tightly, and choked out two words.
The fleet of their 94th branch currently at the port of Soto Kingdom cannot stop the [Escaped Admiral] from the East China Sea!
Under Stoker's command, the naval fleet gave way.
In the distance, Creek looked at the opening made by the navy and laughed at the officers and generals around him.
"As expected, the Navy is just a bunch of paper tigers." A smile appeared on Crick's square face, talking to the cadres, "What is this? The Navy gave in to the pirates? Hahaha, do you want a newspaper to report it? ?”
The cadre next to Creek was still very calm. He knew that it was not that the navy was afraid of Chief Creek, but that they did not want unnecessary sacrifices.
Creek's fleet passed the naval blockade very easily, which made the other pirate groups very unhappy.
They want to pass the naval blockade, but it will take a lot of effort, and many of their men will stay at sea forever.
But no matter how unhappy they are, they are not Creek and cannot get "preferential treatment"!
As more and more people entered the port of the Soto Kingdom, the appearance of a huge warship caused panic among many pirates.
When they saw the World Government flag flying on the warship, everyone involuntarily held their breath.
Some people with better eyesight saw the people standing on the deck of the warship, and they suddenly took a breath of cold air.
At this expo, even such a big shot appeared?
On the warship, Luffy and the others looked at the Creek pirates entering the port in great distance. They were a little confused. They were just a pirate, why were they so arrogant?
The New World Government Army and Navy didn't suppress him?
"Ace, are you going to kill those guys?"
Iska frowned and asked. She also saw the extremely arrogant Crick before. It was obviously the Navy branch who chose to let them go in order to avoid unnecessary casualties. Unexpectedly, Crick actually insulted the Navy. Really? Damn it.
Iska, who comes from a navy family, has the highest level of hatred for pirates among them.
After all, she knew many uncles and uncles, some of whom died in battles with pirates, leaving their families to shed tears all day long.
