Marine Is A Bad Guy, Kizaru Is Not - Chapter 17

Chapter 17 “Shocked! The World’s Greatest Swordsman Mihawk Personally Admitted That He Encountered…”

East Blue Sea.

On the deck of the warship, a small table was placed in the middle of the deck. Three people were sitting around the table, playing Landlord enthusiastically.

“King bomb!”

Clo played the biggest card in his hand expressionlessly, with a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

“I can’t bear it!”

The lieutenant colonel sighed and gently put down the cards in his hand.

“Pass.”

Yichen shrugged.

Cloe raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked at the cards on the table, then looked at the remaining cards in his hand, and after thinking for a moment, he decided on the next strategy for playing cards.

According to the rules, he and the lieutenant colonel are on the same team, and their goal is to work together to fight against the “landlord” – Colonel Yichen.

At this moment, the colonel only has six cards left in his hand. According to his own calculations, the colonel still has a medium straight and a small card in his hand.

If you want the Colonel to win, you must defuse the four 3 “bombs” in your hand and then play a small straight for the Colonel to run.

Clo’s eyes lit up and he whispered, “34567.”

Yi Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and raised a faint smile, “Take care of it!”

He played the cards lightly, and then shouted without hesitation, “Put in the order.”

“…”

“Excuse me…”

“Hey, run!”

Yichen clapped his hands, stood up, and smiled.

“this…”

The lieutenant colonel shook his head helplessly.

At this time, a Marine soldier hurried over, stood up and saluted, “Colonel, this is today’s Donghai Daily.”

“good.”

Yichen took the newspaper, sat back in his chair as if nothing had happened, and began to read it.

For him, reading the newspaper during work hours and learning about major events at sea has become a part of daily life.

He enjoyed this kind of life.

“Then Colonel, I’ll check the route to see if there is any deviation.”

The lieutenant colonel stood up, saluted Yi Chen, and left the cabin.

Clo followed closely behind, silently following the lieutenant colonel, observing and learning how to adapt to the new life, how to play the role of a soldier in the Marine, and learning the responsibilities and disciplines behind this identity.

Crowe has never been so serious, because he knows very well that his identity as a pirate is completely a thing of the past.

Now, he is a Marine, a soldier under Colonel Yichen.

In order to fully integrate himself into his new identity, Clo’s life seemed to vibrate on two strings, one was studying and the other was exercising.

The purpose of learning is to better master the affairs of this department and become Colonel Yichen’s right-hand man in the future.

Training is to improve one’s combat effectiveness so that one can cope with various troubles that may be encountered in the future.

As for the Colonel, he’s already so strong, so what if he plays badly?

At the colonel’s request, the bounty on the Black Cat Pirates has been revoked, and other captured members have been arranged to undergo labor reform in various branches along the way. Those with outstanding performance may even have the opportunity to join the Marine and start a new chapter.

Clo knew very well that he had no way out, nor did he need one.

“Becoming stronger and more stable is my goal.”

“And by following Colonel Yichen, you can achieve your goals.”

“So, the colonel’s demands are my own goals.”

As Yi Chen’s subordinate, he would handle all matters in an orderly manner, for Yi Chen and for himself.

“Go ahead, go ahead.”

Yichen waved his hand and watched Clo leave, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

The new subordinate made rapid progress. In just a few days, Clo adjusted his positioning and posture.

Now it seems that my decision to return to Xiluobu Village was extremely correct.

Clo is the key to his happy and lazy life – he can help deal with those tedious affairs and completely free up his time.

Thinking about his future self being able to sit leisurely in the office of Marine headquarters and read the newspaper, Yi Chen smiled.

“beautiful!”

He lit a cigar and took a deep puff. The smoke swirled around his lips, filling him with a relaxing atmosphere.

He casually opened the Donghai Daily in his hand.

“《Shocking! The world’s greatest swordsman Mihawk personally admitted that he encountered a sword technique that he could not comprehend!》?”

Seeing this title, Yichen’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“Look at Lao Mi’s news.”

He smiled playfully and continued reading.

“Mihawk defeated ‘Pirate Hunter’ Zoro in two moves?”

“And you admit that these two moves came from a colonel of the Marine Headquarters?”

“There’s another trick that even Mihawk himself hasn’t figured out yet?”

“Because we have not obtained Mr. Mihawk’s authorization, the names of the moves and his name will not be published.”

“This reporter is quite sensible. Is he afraid of being chopped by Lao Mi?”

Yi Chen flicked the cigar ash, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face, “Giao, Lao Mi’s comprehension is heaven-defying, he actually managed to secretly learn my moves.”

If you secretly learn my knife skills and don’t bring me two bottles of fine red wine as compensation next time we meet, I will not let this matter go easily.

As he was thinking, Yichen’s eyes stopped at the last few pages of the newspaper, and suddenly a hint of joy appeared on his face.

“Yo~”

He flipped open the photo in the newspaper, which clearly showed a man standing upside down, stretching his head and neck downward with difficulty, trying to eat a bowl of fried rice piled high with egg with his mouth.

He couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and chuckled, “Who is this? So miserable that he actually eats such a big bowl of fried rice while standing upside down?”

“Who did this offend?”

The man in the photo had an extremely painful expression, as if he had tried his best, but he ended up losing his balance in the next photo and fell down in a miserable state.

Among the onlookers, every face was smiling happily, and many people even laughed to the point of tears.

“Hahahaha! This guy is so funny!”

Yichen laughed out loud, holding his belly. The sound echoed in the cabin, and the joy from the bottom of his heart was beyond words.

【bite!】

[Host is slacking off by reading the newspaper during work hours, and today’s newspaper is more interesting than yesterday’s. Host is in a good mood, and his happiness value is +500]

At this moment, the cabin door was gently pushed open, and the lieutenant colonel walked in quickly. He saluted with a serious look and reported: “Colonel, the course is normal. It is expected to reach Roge Town in half a day.”

“Um.”

Yi Chen nodded, closed the newspaper gently, and thought to himself, “Roger Town…”

“Coming to the world of pirates, it’s nice to travel around.”

“Let’s just go sightseeing all the way back to the headquarters.”

And by the time he returns to the headquarters, Krona should be fully familiar with all military affairs and be able to handle all matters with ease.

By then, I can completely get rid of those tedious affairs and live a truly “bad” life.

…..

Donghai, A’long Paradise.

Accompanied by a cry of “Rubber, rubber – Tomahawk!” that resounded through the sky, Luffy’s figure leaped into the sky like a sharp arrow, his feet stretched vigorously upwards, and smashed down suddenly with destructive power.

This kick hit Aaron’s head hard, the air was torn apart, and a violent shock wave exploded in the air. The terrifying force was like thunder, knocking Aaron directly to the ground, and the entire building of Aaron Park was also destroyed. Objects collapsed instantly under the huge force.

Accompanied by a loud “boom”, the sound of the wall collapsing echoed like thunder, rubble and tiles flew everywhere, and thick smoke and dust filled the sky.

And Aaron’s arrogant smile also disappeared.

“ah–”

A shrill scream was heard from the chaos. It was the rat colonel of the 16th Marine Branch who wanted to take advantage of the situation, but was coldly blocked by Zoro.

The battle of the Straw Hat Pirates not only overthrew Arlong’s rule, but also completely exposed the corrupt Marine who once oppressed the people and colluded with the fish-men. What followed was a just trial.

This battle also officially brought the Straw Hat Pirates into the sight of Marine Headquarters.

A few young figures caused a huge wave on the sea.

Along with this major event, the high bounty of 30 million berries for Straw Hat Luffy quickly made this fledgling young pirate the focus of the entire East Daxia Sea.

As the sun sets, the orange-yellow afterglow shines on the ruins of the A’long Paradise, while in the distant sea, the Merry is sailing towards its next destination against the sea breeze.

“The Grand Route!”

Usopp stood at the stern, his hands clenched, his eyes flashing with fear and desire for the unknown.

“Don’t forget the supplies you’ll need for the voyage!”

Nami reminded with a smile, her eyes slightly narrowed, as if she was calculating the expenses.

Nami sauce~

Zoro was still resting on the deck with his eyes closed, his arms behind his head, looking nonchalant, but the faint smile at the corner of his mouth revealed his anticipation for future challenges.

Chef Sanji smiled, lit a cigarette, and looked at the gradually receding ruins of A’long Paradise, his eyes full of trust and tacit understanding with his partners.

The Merry swayed in the sea breeze, its sails billowing in the wind, and its flag with a skull wearing a straw hat flying high.

“Let’s go!”

Luffy stood at the bow and waved excitedly.

“Next stop, ‘the town of beginning and end’ – Rogue Town!”
