Pirate: I am a logistics person, what the hell is the emperor

Chapter 226 Reiner: It’s my turn to awaken my domineering power!

The next morning.

It was just getting light, and the streets were sparsely populated, looking a little deserted.

"Come often in the future. They welcome you two very much."

At the door of the store, the aunt waved goodbye enthusiastically.

"Uh..."

“So tired~~.”

An old man and a young boy both had dark circles under their eyes.

“The massage technique is really awesome.”

Rayleigh straightened his back, spread his arms and stretched out, and the breath he exhaled immediately condensed into frost mist, "——Huh, are you leaving today?"

"Oh, just go buy a Visalia Perpetual Pointer and go."

Reiner took a deep breath, rubbed his face and let out a long exhale, "We also need to buy some food for the journey. Luffy will be in your care."

"Don't worry while I do the work."

Rayleigh patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "If he can't learn the bully trick, then don't let him go out. In the next two years, practice what I gave you last night."

Reiner: “.”

The character is a bit distorted, maybe it’s not my fault, never mind.

"I have to go to the sailing equipment store later, so I'm leaving now."

Reiner put on his cloak, waved and left, "See you in two years."

Rayleigh smiled softly, "Are you so anxious to meet your girlfriend? You are still too young."

"Go back and wait to be skinned alive." Reiner rolled his eyes at him in his heart.

The air was a little cold, and he was the only one on the entire street, which seemed extremely desolate.

Peninsula No. 60 in the Chabao Archipelago is a base established by the navy. Several warships slowly docked at the shore.

Ladders were lowered and the soldiers landed in an orderly manner.

Before the war, all the families of the headquarters were arranged to take refuge here.

Now everything is over, and Marinford is in pieces and faces reconstruction.

It is impossible to bring people back in a short period of time, so we can only arrange for some soldiers to come here, basically they are soldiers whose families have been placed here for refuge.

A soldier with long curly blond hair and an upright figure stepped onto the lawn.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath of fresh air.

It has the aroma of grass, soil, and a hint of salty sea breeze.

"It's comfortable! But it's a little cold."

The man with the golden curly hair was delighted. He blew into his palms and rubbed them quickly, then smiled at the figure beside him, "I didn't expect you to really come back, big brother."

The man he called "big brother" was a man with short hair, a Band-Aid on his nose, and a somewhat melancholy look on his serious face.

The two young men were tall and strong, with bandages wrapped all over their bodies. From the white color of the bandages, it was easy to tell that they were recent injuries.

"That's a bit of an abuse of power." The slightly older and melancholy man ignored the other party and walked straight into the depths of the Sabaody Archipelago.

"What's the abuse of power? We already have family members on the island. I've also informed the higher-ups and they've agreed to transfer us back."

The blond muttered indifferently.

"Although our family originally lived on the island, it's the same. You have to be flexible, brother. Be flexible."

He quickened his pace and caught up with her, then smiled and slapped her on the back, "Mom will be so happy to see us later."

Snapped!
"——Hiss! You hit my wound!" The melancholy man gritted his teeth in pain.

asshole!

What an annoying brother.

He's better at shooting than him.

He was promoted faster than him.

Do everything better than him.

Whenever someone mentions him, it is always his younger brother who is praised and he is always the one who is disliked.

The man sighed. It was really annoying.

"Ah sorry."

The younger brother laughed awkwardly, "It was a close call yesterday. We almost died on the battlefield."

"Ah."

"Don't be so stern, bro. We finally made it back alive. Be happy."

"Ah."

"You're so cold! I saved your life!"

"Ah."

The two men left the troops and walked towards the island amid shouting.

At this time, there were more and more people on the street, and various breakfast shops set up tables.

People who get up early to look for food or diners who stay up all night are talking and laughing to each other, all discussing yesterday's battle.

"It has become a topic of conversation after tea, that cruel war."

Looking at the calm expressions of the people around him, the melancholy man with a short haircut had a complicated look on his face.

He looked at the scratched and rusty flintlock in his hand. The shoulder strap broke during the battle and he had no time to replace it with a new one, so he could only hold it in his hand.

Yesterday’s experience, one horrific scene after another flashed through my mind.

Both brothers were recruited by the headquarters and went to Marinford to join the war.

At the beginning, I still had a glimmer of hope that I might be able to defeat some famous pirate and make a great contribution.

Even if he's lucky, he might kill one of Whitebeard's captains.
That's how everyone fantasizes, at first.

Until the war broke out
Whitebeard waved his hand, and a tsunami that was big enough to submerge the entire island came down, blocking out the sky and the sun!
that moment.

His legs were shaking, fear was spreading and taking over his mind, and his whole body was frozen in place, unable to move.

Just for a moment.

The world looks different to everyone.

The charge of tens of thousands of pirates shook even the earth.

The muzzle of the gun kept shaking, and he couldn't tell whether it was because of the shaking of the earth or his hands were shaking with fear.

His mind went blank and before he had time to think calmly, he jumped into the battlefield at the command of his superior.

Everywhere I looked, I saw colleagues and pirates fighting each other.

He also began to fight bravely, constantly raising his gun and shooting.

He raised the barrel of his gun to block the sword and smashed the enemy's head with the butt of the gun.

They kept repeating the same actions and fighting numbly.

I don’t know how long it took, but the roars in my ears disappeared, and even the physical fatigue was blocked out by my brain.

The consciousness is completely sunk, constantly fighting and fighting.

Even now when I think back, I don't have the memory of that time.
Until the Straw Hat Pirates descended from the sky and the situation of the battle suddenly reversed.

It was also at this time.

He came to his senses and found himself in the center of the battlefield without realizing it.
Looking around, there were corpses everywhere, blood dyed the earth red, and thick smoke from burning ashes filled the sky.

Heart-wrenching wails were heard everywhere.

The bloody smell of broken limbs mixed with gun smoke rushed into my nostrils.

I felt like I was in hell on earth!

And this is just the beginning of the nightmare.

"Hey! What are you daydreaming about, bro?"

Snapped!
The blond man patted his brother's shoulder, pointed to a fruit and vegetable shop that had just opened at the end of the street, and grinned:

"I'm home. Hehe, we have guests early in the morning."

A figure wearing a brown cloak stood in front of the fruit and vegetable stall, opposite him was a middle-aged woman who was smilingly introducing seasonal vegetables.

"It seems that the family business is doing well. Look, let me go and give Mom a surprise!" As he said this, the younger brother ran forward excitedly.

"Boring." My brother had a blank expression on his face, but he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

"That's all."

Reiner picked out some fruits, put them in the cooked basket and handed them over, "Please weigh them for me. You're open quite early."

"Alas, it's not the war from yesterday."

At this point, the woman sighed, took the basket and put different fruits on the scale one by one, while complaining to him like a grumble.

"My two sons were in the navy and were drafted to the headquarters to fight in the war. Although we won the war, I don't know how they are doing."

"I hope everything is alright."

"I tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep, so I just got up to take care of business. You're up pretty early too."

The woman kept muttering to herself.

Reiner's ears were callused from listening so much that he raised his hand and used his little finger to pick out the earwax.

"Okay, that's one thousand two hundred Baileys in total."

After a while, the woman packed all the fruits and handed them over. She looked a little embarrassed and said, "Sorry, sorry, I think I said too much accidentally. People at this age tend to be more verbose. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Well, it's okay."

Reiner responded calmly without taking it seriously, took out his wallet, opened it, took out two Baileys with a denomination of one thousand and handed them over.

"I believe they will be safe."

No matter what, as someone who participated in the war, Reiner knew how desperate that war was for ordinary people.

Maybe the person's son died at his hands, or maybe he was crushed by an army of beasts, or maybe some undead just used a random move and the aftermath of it blew the person to pieces.

Who knows, maybe no one will look at them.

"Thank you for your kind words. Wait a moment and I'll give you the change."

The woman took the two Baileys with a smile, held them in her wrinkled hand, and began to search the front pocket of her scarf for change.

And this time.

A figure in a navy uniform suddenly rushed over.

"Hey mom!!"

"Wow!!" The noise scared the woman so much that she jumped up, and the two Baileys in her hand flew out!
When he looked closely, he found the person's face was familiar. He was stunned for two seconds in disbelief, and then jumped up excitedly!

"You scared your mother to death, you bastard son!"

The woman hugged the man tightly, tears welling up from her eyes. "Why are you back? Where's your brother? How is he?"

"Wait a minute, it hurts! You're hurt, mom. He's fine, and big brother is back!" The blond navy gasped in pain.

Reiner was speechless and didn't know whether to continue this business.

Forget it, people are already feeling touched, so I won’t spoil their fun.

"Well, you don't have to give me the change. Just take it as a congratulations on your son's safety." After saying that, Reiner turned around and was about to leave.

But at this moment, a serious navy man came up, bent down and picked up the two Baileys.

"That won't do. Pirates are rampant these days and everyone's life is hard. As a navy, we can't take advantage of civilians."

The melancholy man stopped him with his hand, handed him a Bailey, and said expressionlessly: "I'll give you a thousand Baileys after rounding off the decimals. This is yours."

"At once"

Halfway through his words, his pupils shrank and he froze in place, not daring to move.

"Black Snake"

Looking at the cloaked man's bespectacled face, the navy's calm face turned into extreme fear. At this moment, his heart was already cold to the extreme.

Why are you here!
Why right at your doorstep!

His raised hand began to tremble, and the thousand-dollar Bailey slipped out of his hand and flew away with a gust of cold wind.

Black Snake Reiner!

He was very familiar with this face!
The memories in the older soldier's mind were immediately seduced!
That was when the birdcage had just fallen, and the Straw Hat Pirates rescued Ace from the execution platform and were about to run out of the square.

Following the general's orders to pursue, he rushed towards the Straw Hat Pirates and became one of the tens of millions of soldiers besieging them.

Dozens of his colleagues were blown away right in front of him, just because the Demon King blinked.

Dozens of colleagues were beaten back again, and this time it was Sea Knight Jinbei who punched them from a distance.

One of the soldiers flew over and hit him hard, knocking him to the ground.

He felt a cramp in his abdomen and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Lying on the ground and looking at the dark sky, countless thunderbolts struck like heavy rain.

The volcano erupted, and lava enough to destroy a battleship flew everywhere.

Admiral Kizaru threw out hundreds or even thousands of golden light bullets with power comparable to that of artillery shells with just a wave of his hand.

Rumble!
He found that the earth was shaking, and a canyon-like abyss appeared in the ground, and a large number of navy soldiers fell into it, screaming in fear.

Sword energy flew everywhere and laser beams bombarded randomly.

At that moment, he was desperate.

It turns out that whether he can survive this battle has nothing to do with how hard he tries.

In this battlefield, he didn't even have the strength to resist the aftermath of a move from any strong man.

Perhaps in the next second, he would be blown to pieces by an inexplicable explosion or split in half by a sudden attack.

If they were unlucky, Whitebeard might overturn the entire island and everyone would be buried in the sea.

That's what he thought at the time.

He coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and stood up with difficulty, supporting himself on the ground. In front of him were the Straw Hat Pirates, who were invincible, and behind him were the generals supervising the battle.

He didn't hesitate and was ready to rush forward.

But he found that he couldn't move, and there was a biting cold under his feet.

I lowered my head and found that my legs were frozen in place without me noticing. It was Admiral Aokiji chasing after the Straw Hat Pirates.

Everywhere it passed turned into ice and snow, and I was affected just by standing far away.

The birdcage was shrinking, cutting everything in its path, moving closer to where he was little by little.

He rubbed the ice on his legs with his hands, trying to melt it quickly and escape.

"Damn it! Melt quickly, damn it!"

The movements of his hands became faster and faster, and his palms were cut by ice spikes, oozing blood!

But it was not enough, the birdcage was less than one meter away from him!

"Big Brother!!"

His younger brother ran over desperately, knelt at his feet and helped him rub the ice with his palms.

It was still not enough, the birdcage was less than thirty centimeters away from him!

"Why! Why is it useless?!"

Faced with the imminent fate of being chopped into pieces, he roared loudly, fear completely took over his heart, and tears couldn't help but squeeze out of the corners of his eyes.

"I'm sorry bro! This is better than dying!!"

His younger brother held his gun in reverse, screaming and crying, as if he was ready to smash his legs.

He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, ready to accept that if he didn't die on the battlefield, he would be paralyzed from the waist down and live a desperate life.

at this time.

The bird cage stopped and turned into thin threads that flew into the air.

Everyone looked towards the execution platform.

The two brothers also looked over.

It's Black Snake Reiner.

His golden hair danced in the wind, and on his gloomy face hung glasses that reflected cold light.

A ghost stood beside him, holding Doflamingo's head.
"It's saved."

He was still in shock and gasping for breath.

There has never been a moment like now that I feel I am blessed by the goddess of luck.

The images from his memory flashed through his mind like a slide show.

He came back to his senses and looked at the man in the cloak in front of him, and that face came into view again.

"Hey, brother, what's wrong with you?"

Noticing the man's abnormality, the blond marine couldn't help but walk up to him.

However, he had just taken a step and just glanced at Reiner when he was stunned!
This face is so familiar to these brothers!

The two brothers reacted and simultaneously pointed their guns at the man in front of them.

Their eyes were filled with fear and they even held their breath, as if they could hear their own heartbeats.

Only then did I finally hear the other party speak.

"Aren't you guys on leave today to visit relatives?"

"If you're on vacation, you can just pretend you didn't see me. Even generals can be lazy, so there's no need for you to work so hard."

Reiner looked calm and glanced at the middle-aged woman who seemed a little overwhelmed.

No, the mother and son were so excited just now, wouldn’t it seem like he is a bit of a non-human if he takes action?

"Don't shake your hands, buddy. If the gun goes off accidentally, you might die here."

Reiner raised the corner of his mouth, picked up the fruit and walked forward, and took back the thousand Baileys from the old navy's hand amid his horrified gaze.

"Since it's been erased, you can find the one you lost yourself and return this one to me. Thank you very much."

Reiner held the money between two fingers, straightened it out, put it back into his wallet, and left.

"Just pretend you didn't see it."

"What a joke."

The two brothers stood there in a daze, muttering to themselves. They turned their heads and looked at each other for a second, with a hint of determination flashing in their eyes!
"What a joke!!"

"We are the navy!!"

The two men suddenly jumped up, turned around at the same time, pointed their guns at Reiner, and pulled the trigger!

"How can I pretend I didn't see it!!"

"Mom, please leave now!!"

boom!boom!
Gunshots rang out! Two bullets whizzed through the air and flew out!
Reiner did not look back, did not dodge, did not stop, and did not summon the undead.

At this moment, all the sounds around became quiet.

He heard a strong voice in his heart.

He heard the two marines yelling at him that the bullets would miss, that they were aimed right at his ears.

It seemed like a reminder, or like a request for him to just leave.

Shooting is their position.

Shooting into the air is their reward.

To repay them for accidentally saving them during the war?

Or to repay the favor of not killing me?

Who knows.

Perhaps these two shots would anger Reiner and kill them both, but they had not considered this problem.

bass!
bass!
The bullet whizzed past his ears as expected, and he didn't pause until he disappeared around the corner.

"The Armament Haki hasn't awakened, but the Observation Haki has awakened first. Emmm, could it be related to personality?"

Reiner muttered to himself, thinking for a moment but still couldn't figure it out, then he raised the corner of his mouth.

Who cares? As long as it works, that’s fine.

It was not until Reiner left that the two brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

All the strength in his body seemed to be drained away in an instant, and he collapsed on the spot.

"——Huh, let me go find that Bailey."

My brother patted his butt, stood up, looked around, and walked out in a random direction without thinking.

"The wind is blowing that way, that way."

The younger brother pointed in a direction and shouted in disgust, then lowered his head and sighed helplessly: "Really, you should learn to be smarter, big brother."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The brother shouted in dissatisfaction and ran back.

As expected, I hate my younger brother the most.
