Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

however.

"I don't know anything about this kid~, Vice Admiral Garp, could you explain more clearly?"

Faced with Vice Admiral Garp's question, Kuzan maintained his languid expression, directly rejecting it. After ordering another drink from Makino, he leisurely said, "Vice Admiral Garp was asking about Colonel Dand Shacher? I think that guy has a lot of talent, but he's been overlooked in the East Blue. So, I've already sent him on a secret mission to the Grand Line, and I'm preparing to recommend him to my superiors. By the way, why did Vice Admiral Garp ask about him? Does he know him well?"

"Hahaha, we're not that close~" Seeing Kuzan pretending to be confused, Garp also pretended to be confused, tilting his head back and still picking his nose, saying, "Not close, not close, this old man doesn't know any Shache kid at all!"

"..."

Vice Admiral Garp is still the same as ever!

Kuzan didn't say much about Vice Admiral Garp's feigned ignorance, but smiled and thanked Makino again before accepting the beer.

This time, however, he drank it slowly.

only.

As he took a sip and put the bottle down, his eyes flickered slightly.

This time, he's facing one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Will that kid still be able to hide his true strength?

Kuzan muttered to himself, "We should be almost in Alabasta by now!"

The voice just fell.

"Pulu pulu~, pulu pulu~"

Just as Kuzan was wondering what that kid would do this time...

The Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scoop) rang.

Kuzan skillfully picked up the Den Den Mushi and answered it directly, his tone lazy, "Hello, what's up? If not, I'll hang up!"

"Get serious, Kuzan!"

"Oh my, is that Fleet Admiral Sengoku?" Upon hearing the Den Den Mushi's voice, Kuzan's languid expression softened slightly, and he said with a hint of headache, "Is there another mission?"

"Is that Sengoku guy?" Garp, who was standing nearby, also came over curiously, and then quickly said with a serious face, "Don't tell Sengoku that I'm here!"

only.

Before Kuzan, who was suffering from a headache, could say anything...

"I can hear you!" the Den Den Mushi shouted, "Garp, how dare you hang up on me?"

"Hahaha, have we been found out?"

"Damn it! Your vacation is over, and I'm telling you!" Sengoku Den Den Mushi roared angrily. "Your snacks are all gone! Don't expect me to restock them!"

"It's okay, I'll eat yours!"

"..."

That damn thing.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku~" Seeing Sengoku about to explode with anger, Kuzan ignored Garp, who was picking his nose and looking indifferent, and worried that the two would continue arguing like this, so he quickly interjected, "What mission is he calling about this time?"

"Oh, right, I almost forgot, it's all that bastard Garp's fault!" Hearing Kuzan's words, Sengoku's Den Den Mushi also came to his senses, took a deep breath, ignored Garp, and put on a serious expression.

this moment.

The entire Den Den Mushi seemed to exude the aura of a naval admiral.

"Issue the mission to Marine Headquarters now, Admiral Aokiji, Vice Admiral Garp." Sengoku's Den Den Mushi eyes narrowed, his tone steady. "The plot of the Shichibukai—Sand Crocodile—to seize the Alabasta Kingdom has been exposed and defeated by the passing Moko Pirates. You two are to immediately proceed to the Alabasta Kingdom, bring Crocodile back to Marine Headquarters, and at the same time arrest the East Blue's overlords—the Moko Pirates!"

After issuing the task, a hint of emotion appeared on his face, and he said wistfully.

"I didn't expect the Mok Pirates to have already entered the Grand Line. It seems that Garp and I both underestimated this guy's strength. He defeated Crocodile as soon as he entered the Grand Line. This guy... is quite dangerous, far exceeding the danger level of the Supernova Portgas D. Ace."

Then, in a serious tone, he said, "You two must catch him this time. We absolutely cannot let him go any longer."

"..."

"What's wrong with you guys?" Receiving no response and seemingly sensing something was off, Sengoku frowned again, his tone tinged with displeasure. "Didn't you hear me?"

"...Ahahaha~"

"...Hahaha~"

The two quickly chuckled, then immediately said with serious expressions, "We heard it~, we heard it~"

"This is really a headache, how did things get like this?" Although the responses from the two people on the other end seemed a bit strange, Sengoku Den Den Mushi didn't delve any further into it.

As long as they complete the task, that's all that matters.

"I'm going to be busy again!" Sengoku sighed, then raised an eyebrow at the two people in front of him. "Now you two get out of here right now! Especially Garp, you better get back here right now!"

"Yes!"

"I know, I know~"

"dudu~"

As the Den Den Mushi was disconnected, Kuzan and Garp exchanged another glance.

Immediately afterwards...

"Kuzan, the rest is up to you!"

"..."

Kuzan watched speechlessly as Garp continued picking his nose and drinking beer with an indifferent expression.

I realized this old guy was planning to give up again.

But he didn't say much. He lowered his head, looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand, sighed, and muttered to himself, "Dand Shacher."

I didn't expect it to be resolved so quickly?

But... he didn't make a move?

He stretched comfortably and said helplessly, "I just sat down, and it looks like I'm going to be busy again."

Chapter 48 Preparation

Let's move the timeline forward a little.

After making the arrangements, Xia Che led everyone on their way.

This time, the bear, as an important source of power and combat strength, will also be going.

This was Da Xiong's first job as a new employee, so he took it very seriously and followed his new boss's arrangements diligently throughout, worried that his lack of seriousness might cause him to lose hope of healing Bonnie.

As for Bonnie, since the treatment process is not yet over, she will need to stay with Crocus for the time being.

Although Big Bear also longed to be with his daughter, having never left her side since leaving the Kingdom of Sorbe, this was his first time leaving her, and he felt very reluctant and worried. However, for Bonnie's sake, he suppressed his reluctance and promised to finish his work as soon as possible and return to be with Bonnie.

Bonnie... was also very sensible. Even though she was also reluctant to part with Big Bear, she still smiled happily and told her father to go to work. She promised to listen carefully, get medical treatment, and then go on a trip with her father to see scenery she had never seen before.

The scene of a loving father and filial daughter once again moved everyone to tears.

Xia Che was speechless, feeling like he was a heartless boss who oppressed his employees and forced them to work overtime when their loved ones were sick.

Please~

Although Alabasta is some distance from the Twin Islands, Kuma's abilities allow him to travel back and forth in a short time.

Why is it being made to sound like a life-or-death separation?

Of course, as a kind-hearted boss, when his employees were busy, Shacher still very kindly arranged for Bonnie to be looked after... that was the very honest Chloe along the way.

This guy had been like a nobody the whole way, not asking or saying anything, just staying quietly to the side. So, Xia Che felt at ease leaving him behind this time.

They also guaranteed that if he did a good job this time, he would be given a permanent position when he returned.

After everything was arranged, Xia Che and his group boarded the [Dreadnought Sabre] and set off for Alabasta under the power of the Big Bear.

As for the dreadnought Sabre...

As the exclusive pirate ship of the Moke Pirates, it was naturally necessary to bring it along.

After all, Moke still needs to take the blame this time. Without his own vehicle, what about the prestige of the East China Sea?

And this moment.

"Hey, has the money been transferred?" Shache, who was comfortably reclining on the beach chair again, also received Crocodile's message. "As expected of a Shichibukai! So generous. Don't worry, don't you know my character? Crocodile, don't worry! What's the point of talking about the Seastone issue now? It's all in the past, we need to move on! Don't bring it up again."

You could tell Crocodile was very dissatisfied.

So, Xia Che gave him a surprise instead, "Don't worry, I'm already on my way to the Grand Line, I promise you'll see! But I used the World Government's elevator to get to and from the Red Line, so you'll have to reimburse me for the 200 million rupee travel expenses!"

"What kind of elevator is so expensive? Please, do you know who I brought with me? I went to great lengths to keep it a secret from the World Government."

"Brother Crocodile, you don't want the World Government to know about this, do you?"

As soon as these words fell.

Crocodile Den Den Mushi: ...

Silence again.

Crocodile could tell from the Den Den Mushi's expression that he was furious, but he took a deep breath and restrained himself, saying in a low, cold voice, "Two hundred million. I'll have the cash ready. If you want it transferred from the black market, it'll take a few days. Why don't you come and get it yourself?"

"Brother Crocodile, you're so generous!" Upon hearing Crocodile's words, Shattrath immediately expressed his admiration and replied earnestly, "No problem! If there's money to be made, why wouldn't I go? Don't worry, I promise I'll be there soon!"

"this is the last time!"

"This is the last time, please believe me. You must know that I am a Marine who upholds justice!"

As soon as these words fell.

Crocodile: ...

justice?

Do you have one?

The Den Den Mushi's face seemed somewhat distorted, but in the end it merely snorted coldly and said nothing more before hanging up.

Natsume, who was also holding a Den Den Mushi, couldn't help but sigh again, "As expected of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they are truly magnanimous!"

He pulled out so much money without saying a word!

I feel like I have too little.

He then carefully put away the Den Den Mushi, turned to look at Mok and Kuma beside him, and said, "I'll leave the rest to you two."
