The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 184 Huang Liang Yi Meng

Other naval bases in the four seas are occasionally attacked by pirates, but this hasn't happened in the East Blue for many years.

Shells is located near a naval base, making it extremely safe. The townspeople are also relatively well-off, attracting many merchant ships to come and go.

The dock was bustling with activity, with workers loading and unloading goods coming and going, creating a scene of prosperity and peace.

Himeko left a robot to guard the ship to prevent anyone from stealing things from it.

All the train crew members disembarked and dispersed in the town of Shells.

The naval base is very conspicuous; its iconic buildings can be seen from afar.

You can also see several marines in white uniforms strolling around the streets from time to time.

Himeko couldn't take her eyes off a coffee shop and went inside to inquire about coffee beans.

Oranges born in Huainan are oranges, while those born in Huaibei are oranges.

Even the same plant will produce different fruits depending on where it grows, let alone in different worlds.

The world of One Piece has an extremely rich ecosystem, with plants and animals that are generally larger and more robust than in most other worlds.

Even the coffee beans are several sizes larger than normal coffee beans.

Himeko asked the shop owner about the taste, quality, and origin of various coffee beans, and then bought some of each.

He planned to try them all when he got back to the ship, and buy more of each one to see which tasted better before he left this world.

Yan was still very interested in the Navy's sense of justice, so he headed straight for the naval base.

Naval bases are not places to enter casually, so Yan activated his stealth ability and swaggered inside.

A group of new recruits were having their Dao power values ​​tested. Yan tapped the machine lightly, and the off-the-charts Dao power value made the instructor think the machine was broken. After repairing it for most of the day, the test was temporarily interrupted.

Hundreds of marines are training in swordsmanship, shooting, and physical fitness at the training ground.

Yan looked for a while and shook his head. They could only be described as stronger ordinary people; none of them possessed the power of Shanks and Garp.

After observing the naval base for half a day, Yan discovered that the navy's so-called justice really was just those two words.

Although they often talk about it, they don't even have a standard definition of justice, nor do they have any books explaining justice.

Moreover, most of the navy personnel at this base simply treat the navy as a job.

However, overall these navy personnel are relatively upright and kind.

"I thought the clothes in town would be better, but they're still so ugly." Su Xiaoli sighed in the clothing store.

Not only were the clothing styles rare and ordinary, but the jewelry was also rather rough, which greatly dampened Su Xiaoli's enthusiasm for shopping.

At the dock, the ship owners were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

"Uncle, it seems like you've run into trouble?" Xing asked.

"There are too many merchant ships today, and I can't hire anyone to unload the cargo. It will take at least another hour for workers to arrive, but I only have thirty minutes left to meet my delivery deadline with my client!" the boss complained anxiously.

"I'll help you!" Xing volunteered.

"You? Even if you were to work like a whole team by yourself, you wouldn't have enough time. The goods still need to be delivered to the customer." The boss looked at Xing with suspicion and sighed.

"Leave it to me, I'm sure it'll be in time," Xing said confidently.

"Fine, let's try anything. As long as it's delivered to the customer within three hours, I'll give you an extra 10,000 Berries in addition to the 50,000 Berries for unloading and transportation," the boss said.

"What if it's completed on time?" Xing asked.

"I'll give you an extra 50,000!" the boss said.

"okay!"

Family members, we've received another assignment!

Xing was carrying a large bag, while Meng Huaifeng and Sanyueqi were strolling through the snack street.

"Hmm, this pineapple pie is delicious! It's sweet and sour, you should try it." March 7's eyes lit up as she handed the pineapple pie to Meng Huaifeng's lips.

Meng Huaifeng took a bite. It was soft and chewy, without the sourness that made his teeth ache. The acidity was just right, and the sweetness wasn't cloying.

"It's really good. I can buy more and put them in my space." Meng Huaifeng asked the proprietress to make twenty more servings.

"A big customer!" The proprietress beamed as she made pineapple pie.

"Let's let one let, let one let!"

Xing's urgent shouts came from behind.

Meng Huaifeng and Sanyueqi turned around and saw Xing pulling three fully loaded carts linked together, speeding down the street.

Pedestrians scattered and chickens and dogs flew about in disarray.

To be honest, even cattle and horses couldn't carry that much cargo.

"Ah Xing, slow down, don't bump into anyone," said March 7th.

"Whoosh!"

Meng Huaifeng hurriedly pulled Sanyueqi aside, and Xing, pulling the cart, ran past the two of them without even stopping.

"It's too late, time's almost up! Don't worry, we won't crash!" Xing's words floated through the air.

"Slow down, my hero! I...I can't take it anymore!"

On the last flatbed cart, a boss was lying on top of the goods, clutching them tightly and crying out.

"Boss, you don't want to be late and have your price reduced or your pay docked, do you?"

"I...can...hold on...ugh~"

A rainbow sprayed down, and the passersby who were hit cursed loudly.

March 7th frowned, and the pineapple pie in her hand suddenly didn't smell so good anymore.

After hesitating for a moment, he stuffed it into Meng Huaifeng's mouth.

"Is Ah Xing working for someone else?" March 7th asked.

“It should be, but why didn’t she put it in her spatial storage first?” Meng Huaifeng swallowed hard and asked.

The limiting factor for the speed of star transport is not herself, but the freight car she is pulling; if it goes any faster, it is likely to tip over.

"Uh... if you get a cargo escort mission in the game, can you put the items into your game inventory?" March 7 asked after thinking for a moment.

Meng Huaifeng pinched his chin and said, "I can." "I have nothing in common with you guys who cheat in games," San Yueqi rolled her eyes at Meng Huaifeng.

"What a joke, do I need to use cheats with my skills?" Meng Huaifeng said, shrugging.

The twenty pineapple pies were made quickly, and the money was paid on March 7th.

"boom!"

The door of a nearby restaurant was suddenly kicked open, and a marine who was nearly three meters tall was thrown out.

"You dare meddle in my business? You're tired of living! I've killed so many pirates and saved so many people, can't I even let the proprietress keep me company?" A drunken bounty hunter walked out of the restaurant with a young woman in his arms.

The young woman looked terrified, trembling uncontrollably, yet dared not resist.

"You killed a pirate, and the Navy gave you the bounty. Now you want someone to accompany you to the red-light district? Release the proprietress!" The marine got up from the ground and said indignantly.

"I like this landlady, what's it to you? I'll pay you!" The bounty hunter pulled out a handful of beri and stuffed it into the landlady's bosom, lewdly grinning, "How about that, is that enough? If not, there's more, spend the night with me."

"I...I..." The landlady looked at Haibing with pleading eyes.

"Sheltz Town is not a place where you bounty hunters can run rampant!" the marine roared.

"Tui~, a lowly sergeant dares to meddle in my business." The bounty hunter said disdainfully.

The marine swung his fist at the bounty hunter.

The bounty hunter blocked his fist with one hand and kicked him away with the other.

While bounty hunters may not have many top-tier fighters, their minimum strength is generally higher than that of ordinary marines and pirates.

Without some skill, how could you dare to target ruthless pirates?

"If you don't get out of here, I'll get rough! Don't think I won't kill you just because you're a Marine!" The drunken bounty hunter said arrogantly.

The marine got up again and charged at the bounty hunter without hesitation.

The bounty hunter impatiently drew his knife.

Meng Huaifeng appeared in front of him in an instant and, to the bounty hunter's astonishment, pushed the knife he had drawn back into place.

The marine's fist slammed into the bounty hunter's face, sending him flying, before pulling the terrified landlady away.

"Who are you?" The bounty hunter swayed as he stood up.

"Passersby who couldn't stand by and watch," Meng Huaifeng said.

"Thank you. My men have already gone to request reinforcements, and they should be here soon," the marine said to Meng Huaifeng.

"Do you know who I am? I'm Saga, the bounty hunter who has hunted pirates with a total bounty of 20 million!" Saga said.

"Never heard of it. Don't even mention Saga, Tiga is useless to him either." Meng Huaifeng was too lazy to waste words with this guy, so he went up and punched him unconscious.

"So strong!" The Marine looked at Meng Huaifeng in shock.

"What do you think your navy should do with this guy?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

"He has no bounty, he's not a pirate, at most he's been detained for a few days for disturbing the peace," the marine said.

"Sergeant, we're here!" In the time it took to say those two sentences, five marines came running over with muskets.

Even if Meng Huaifeng didn't care, this marine would at most get a minor injury.

"Take this bounty hunter away and lock him up," the Marine said.

The five marines breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the problem was solved, and then used chains to bind the unconscious bounty hunter.

"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, there would have been bloodshed today. My name is Morgan, and I'm a sergeant," Morgan said again.

That's right, this burly man, nearly three meters tall, is none other than Axe King Morgan.

At that time, he was still a passionate young man. Even if he was no match for a bounty hunter who was drunk and causing trouble, he dared to step forward to stop him.

"Meng Huaifeng".

"Thank you so much for saving me," the proprietress said, tears streaming down her face. She then offered to treat the two of them to a free meal, including their companions.

It was almost lunchtime, and Meng Huaifeng and Sanyueqi did not refuse and went into the restaurant.

The bounty hunter's outburst caused all the guests to flee.

Morgan took a wad of pesos from Saga and gave it to the landlady as compensation.

Looks like he just received a bounty and came here to have some fun, but after drinking some horse piss, he's forgotten who he is.

While the proprietress was cooking, Meng Huaifeng chatted with Morgan for a few minutes and discovered that this guy was really quite upright, still carrying a bit of passionate naiveté even in his thirties.

It's quite a pity that someone like that was hypnotized into such a brutal person.

"The newspapers from a few days ago reported that Admiral Aokiji captured another pirate with a bounty of over a billion. That's amazing. I really wish I could follow the Admiral around capturing pirates. Unfortunately, my talent is too poor. I'm not qualified to go to Marine Headquarters at all, let alone board an Admiral's ship," Morgan said regretfully.

"Do what you are capable of. It's good enough that you can protect the peace of this area," Meng Huaifeng said.

“You’re right, I will protect Shells Town and the surrounding waters!” Morgan’s blood boiled.

"If you truly gain immense power, can you still maintain your original aspirations?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

"Of course I..."

Before Morgan could finish speaking, a flash of data in Meng Huaifeng's eyes pulled him into an illusion.

Meng Huaifeng took out his phone, placed it on the dining table, and sat down with San Yueqi to watch the illusion.

March 7th immediately understood; this person must be quite special.

In the illusion, Morgan was very lucky and found a Devil Fruit, from which point he soared to great heights and became unstoppable.

He wiped out many pirate crews, including the Black Cat Pirates, but this time he wasn't hypnotized.

He became the guardian of the nearby seas, and countless people cheered for him and spontaneously wanted to build a statue in his honor.

Morgan did not refuse; under the public's adoration, he inevitably felt a bit vain.

However, he also became more strict with himself. Under his protection, there were no more pirate crews in this sea area, and it was safer than ever before.

When his achievements reached the Navy Headquarters, he was promoted to Navy Headquarters Lieutenant Commander.

Then lieutenant colonel, colonel, major general, lieutenant general!
He began to be tempted by all sorts of things: power, fame, fortune, beautiful women...

Bribes and attempts to win over officials came from the World Government, nobles, and even pirates.
