Chapter 90: Changes in Shields Town

On the boundless vast sea, a dragon-headed warship is setting sail towards the 153rd branch.

Koshiro sat on the bow of the boat, silently watching Link lying on the legs of a short-haired blue beauty, leisurely eating fresh grapes.

After seeing Link act like a completely unprofessional navy.

Although Koshiro still kept his squinting eyes and smiling on the surface, he had already lost all hope in the next naval branch he was going to.

Since their immediate superior, Link, is such a pleasure-seeking person, the people under him are probably even more lax and undisciplined.

"Mr. Koshiro, would you like to come over and have some fruit? These are all fruits we grow ourselves, without any weird things added."

Perhaps feeling that he had neglected Koshiro a little, Link asked Koshiro.

"No thanks."

In Koshiro's opinion, these were all temptations given by Link in order to lure him into joining the gang.

In a state of uncertainty, he couldn't accept any kindness from Link!

"So Mr. Link, how long do we have until we get there?"

"three!"

"Three minutes left?"

"Two, one, we're here."

As Link's voice fell, the speed of the warship began to slow down, and the town of Shields, where the 153rd Navy Branch was located, finally appeared in front of everyone.

The town of Shields is much more lively at this moment than when Monka the Great Axe was in office.

Various types of fishing boats and merchant ships come and go in an endless stream.

"This town of Shields looks pretty good. Not as bad as expected! In fact, judging from its size, it's no longer a town but a city."

A gleam of surprise flashed under Koshiro's glasses.

Such a bustling and prosperous scene is quite common in the wealthy capitals of various countries, as well as large islands such as the floating capital and the Sabaody Archipelago.

But the problem is that this is just an ordinary island, and he had never even heard of any rare specialties in Shields Town before.

Seeing the state of Shields Town, Koshiro's impression of Link improved a little.

"To be able to build such a prosperous island, it seems that Link is quite capable. I can learn from him when the time comes!"

But what happened at the port the next moment instantly made his impression of Link plummet to the bottom.

I saw a group of men and women in ragged clothes being brought down from a warship by the navy, with confusion written all over their faces.

It seems like I don’t know what kind of life I will face in the future.

"Are these people civilians captured by the navy?!"

Koshiro narrowed his eyes slightly and his face turned cold.

Could it be that the reason why Shields Town became a prosperous city was because of the exploitation of civilians?

"Are we really going to ignite this place with the spark of the Revolutionary Army?"

Koshiro was thinking when Link suddenly came over, patted Koshiro on the shoulder and said with a smile: "How is it? The Shields Town we built looks pretty good, right?"

“Not bad… not bad.”

Koshiro, who was originally angry because of confusing people, calmed down again.

He also wanted to observe the town of Shields more carefully in order to collect evidence and hand it over to the revolutionary army to liberate the place.

So he took the initiative to ask Link to take a stroll around the town of Shields.

"Mr. Koshiro, that's no problem!
You know, the town of Shields, which our Navy Branch 153 helped to build, is known as one of the top ten model towns in the East China Sea!

From time to time, the Navy Headquarters will invite navies from other regions to visit and learn from our town of Shields!"

Before Link could speak, the short-haired beauty next to him introduced happily.

She is Nami’s sworn sister Nojiko!
Ever since Link led the navy to destroy the Arlong Pirates, Nojiko's impression of the navy has improved a lot.

Especially after Link led the 153rd branch to maintain law and order in various places in the East China Sea, she had confirmed that the 153rd branch was a navy like Bellmère!
So, she took the initiative to join, and stood out among the trainee sailors with her fairly good qualifications. She was then noticed by Link, who took her to his side for personal training.

"Is Shields Town a model town in the East Sea?"

Koshiro glanced around.

In front of us are long rows of cobblestone roads.

There are many buildings around, and the houses look extremely neat and clean. The residents are wearing clean clothes and their faces are filled with happy smiles.

In a sense, Shieldstown on the surface does deserve the term model town.

But the premise is that these achievements are not obtained by exploiting civilians.

Just as Koshiro was wondering how the other side would treat those civilians, a mature-looking navy officer came over and reported to Nokigo: "Ms. Nokigo, the refugees who just came here have been settled by us!"

"Oh, I see. I remember that group of refugees were the ones harmed by the Arlong Pirates. They should all know me. I will go over and make the arrangements later."

Nojigo spoke slowly.

Hearing what Nojiko said, Koshiro's eyes flashed and he took the initiative to step forward: "Miss Nojiko, if you have anything to do, go and do it first. I can go shopping by myself."

"Is it really possible?" Nojigo asked in surprise.

Koshiro smiled and said, "I have a good sense of the road. I never get lost even in unfamiliar places. Miss Nochigo, you can go with peace of mind." "I understand."

Nojigao nodded, then followed the mature-looking navy man away.

Looking at Nokigo's leaving back, Koshiro narrowed his eyes, paid for a cloak from a stall nearby, and then secretly followed Nokigo.

If his guess was correct, the refugees the two people were talking about should be the group of ragged people he had seen before!
Although he could have directly made a formal request to Nojigo and asked the other party to take him there instead of using this sneaky approach.

But if this is really done, there is no guarantee that it might just be a show.

Koshiro wanted to see the other person's truest side, so he could only go and check the situation in a sneaky way.

……

In a huge warehouse, a little girl looked at the people coming and going, and couldn't help feeling a little scared. She asked the man next to her:
"Dad, are they planning to sell us out?"

She has lived since she was a child in one of the twenty villages and towns ruled by the Arlong Pirates.

It's just that due to the poor geographical location of their village and the insufficient fertility of the island's soil, the villagers basically can't afford to pay.

In order to get some money out of them, the Arlong Pirates teamed up with Colonel Mouse from the original 16 branches to start the slave business.

She would also often see a group of people dressed in white coming to their villages and towns, smearing the villagers' hard-earned money as accounts receivable.

Then those in white clothes will take the villagers onto the boat.

After that, the little girl never saw the people who were taken away again.

So in the little girl's impression, those guys in white clothes are bad guys.

"Don't worry, Lord Link is different from the previous Captain Mouse, or even the other navy officers... He is a legendary hero!"

The man held his daughter's hand and comforted her softly.

But although he said so, he actually had no idea in his heart.

Who knows if the so-called great hero is just a disguise?
He also didn't know what his future fate would be like...

Just as the man was thinking and worrying, accompanied by a series of "dong dong dong" sounds, Nojigo and his navy officers came in front of everyone pushing carts of food.

"Dinner is ready! Come and eat quickly, everyone!"

The moment she saw Noqigao, the little girl's eyes lit up: "Dad, look, it's the sister from Kokosia Village!"

"Which sister from Kokosia Village?"

The man looked at Nojigo with confusion, and the memories in his mind suddenly emerged!
The blue-haired girl in front of him was also a member of the Arlong Pirates, who ruled over the villages and towns.

But why would the other party appear here?

"Brother, why are you still standing here? Go and choose your food."

Seeing the man's dazed look, Nojigo stepped forward and asked.

“Can we really eat it?”

The man asked timidly, holding the girl's hand.

“Of course, these foods are prepared for you by Master Link.

From now on here, you can all have enough food to eat and wear clean clothes.

Of course, this benefit doesn’t mean you can eat and drink for free forever. After this month, you will need to work to exchange it for it.

Our navy will not only provide jobs, but also arrange people to teach you skills.

Even if you don't plan to live here in the future, you can survive somewhere else.

If you have mastered any special skills, you can come to me and I will report to Lord Link.

So in order to work more smoothly in the future, you should eat your fill first! You can eat as much as you want, but remember not to waste it! "

Nojigo said with a smile.

Nojigo was deeply moved when he saw the refugees burst into tears while eating their food.

She is in the same situation as these refugees.

Naturally, I understand how desperate the villagers are under the oppression of the Arlong Pirates and Colonel Mouse.

"In order to repay Lord Link for saving us from the sea of ​​suffering, I must work hard in the future and strive to help Lord Link get a promotion and a raise!"

Nojigo cheered himself up in his heart.

Not far away, a figure was watching this scene, and his eyes became a little complicated.

Koshiro didn't know what to say, but the thought came to his mind: I'm damned for doubting Link.

At this moment, his mind couldn't help but recall the conversation he had with the revolutionary army leader Long.

At that time, they talked about their ultimate goal, which was to allow the civilians of this world to live in peace.

Originally, Koshiro firmly believed that only the Revolutionary Army could accomplish this, otherwise he would not have given the money he had saved to the Revolutionary Army.

But the current scene told him that besides the revolutionary army, someone else had also accomplished this goal, and had done it very well.

This scene was clearly what the revolutionary army had always expected, and it was also what he had always expected.

Now Koshiro truly recognizes Link and is willing to teach Link his swordsmanship sincerely.
