Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

"Hahaha, Shach, you little brat, I'm here!" Garp swaggered past him, leading Smoker and Tashigi inside, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Have you thought of how you're going to explain yourself?"

As the voice faded, the three of them had already entered the room and saw Xia Che sitting behind the central desk, wearing a white naval uniform and a black fur coat, with his hands crossed in front of his chin.

Standing next to him was a girl with orange hair, wearing a white shirt and a black skirt.

Before he could finish speaking, Garp picked his nose and said something in a carefree manner.

I saw.

Xia Che sighed, looked at him, and then said in a serious tone, "Vice Admiral Garp, we have received notification that one of your grandsons has gone to sea to become a pirate."

The words fell.

Udo, Mok: !!!

Smoker, Tashigi: ?!

Garp, who was picking his nose: ...

The smile on his face froze.

Sensing the strange stares from those around him, Garp immediately darkened his face and looked at Shache in front of him.

This kid... he's not playing by the rules!

Chapter 8, this sentence is withdrawn.

this moment.

Everyone was looking at the naval hero.

Nami, who was initially a little nervous, unconsciously recalled the old Colonel Rat and the Arlong Pirates, and immediately looked at Garp with anger and contempt.

Is this what you call a naval hero?

He's just like Colonel Rat.

As for Xia Che... he was different in her heart, at least he hadn't done anything immoral.

It even saved Cocoa West Village!

Even Smoker, who was supposed to question Shacher about justice, seemed deflated at this moment. He looked at Garp with complicated emotions, then at Shacher, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

His face darkened immediately.

If his own superior is corrupt, how can he have the nerve to ask a colonel who is trying to feed the villagers?

Although Shache's status was different from that of Lieutenant General Garp, he understood that this stain was nothing to Lieutenant General Garp.

Even Fleet Admiral Sengoku might not care if he heard this, but Vice Admiral Garp is a naval hero!

Within the Naval Headquarters, they serve as a benchmark and a symbol of faith for all naval forces!

The result is now...

Good guy...

They originally came to investigate the collusion between the Navy and pirates, but now the inspection team has been overrun!

Didn't you see that the pirates who should have been arrested were looking at them with contempt at this moment?

As for Tashigi… sensing that the atmosphere had become strange at this moment, a hint of confusion appeared on her little face. Although she was different from Colonel Smoker, as someone who would give even villains a chance and show kindness, Tashigi did not think that Colonel Shacher had violated the so-called justice.

Colonel Shacher was also a naval officer who upheld justice.

She also understood that after learning about everything the 16th Division had done, Colonel Smoker didn't actually want to arrest Colonel Shacher; he was just angry because Colonel Shacher was cooperating with pirates.

But what should we do now?

And at this time...

Seeing everyone staring at him, Garp's face stiffened for a moment, but he quickly recovered, his grin returning to normal as he scratched his head. "Huh? Were we found out?"

As she spoke, she lowered her head again, looking calmly at Xia Che.

"Kid, how did you know?"

"It was just information I obtained by chance." Sensing the atmosphere was just right, Xia Che gave a calm smile and said, "So... Vice Admiral Garp, is there anything else you'd like to say?"

The voice just fell.

Before Garp could even scratch his head, looking troubled and wondering what to do, Smoker stood up abruptly, worried that something unexpected might happen if they continued like this.

Smoker stared blankly at Shacher and cut to the chase, saying, "Dand Shacher, you colluded with pirates to swindle military funds from the Marine Headquarters..."

"Hey, wait a minute, what do you mean by colluding with pirates? Our 16th branch has never done anything like that." Xia Che spread his hands, as if he were blaming someone, and said, "Don't wrong us. As for swindling military funds... every time we ask for military funds, it is legal and compliant. Otherwise, I believe the Marine Headquarters would not have allocated them. If you don't believe me, ask Udo~."

“Yes, our 16th branch has never embezzled military funds.” Udo nodded quickly after Xia Che’s signal and said seriously, “Every time I asked for military funds, I followed the procedures and had all the legal and compliant formalities!”

"Colonel Smoker, you can't be wrong about us!"

“That’s right, Colonel Smoker. Our 16th Division is poor. What’s wrong with asking for more money?”

"Are you still trying to deny it?" Smoker's face darkened upon hearing the exchange between Shache and Udo. "Captain of the Moke Pirates..."

But the words haven't been finished yet.

"Thank you, Colonel Smoker, for assisting the 16th Branch in successfully capturing the Mok Pirates." Shache interrupted Smoker directly, saying solemnly, "This vicious group of pirates has been troubling our 16th Branch for many years. They are extremely cunning. I never expected that they would finally be arrested and brought to justice today."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Udo.

"Hey, Udo, hurry up and get the captain of the Moke Pirates into the 16th Branch Prison, or he'll escape!"

"Yes! Colonel!"

"..."

Does this guy think they're idiots?

Seeing Colonel Shacher and Marine Udo still trying to argue, Smoker's face darkened even more. He slammed his fist on the table and said, "Are you trying to fool the Navy? Colonel Shacher, have you forgotten what Teacher Zephyr taught you? Have you forgotten the justice you bear as a Marine?"

"The Navy's justice?" Shache glanced at Garp, who was watching the show with amusement, and raised an eyebrow.

Good heavens, even now, this old man still isn't going to say anything?

Aren't you worried they might actually start fighting?

As a transmigrator, Xia Che didn't believe in so-called justice at all, since the world government above him was such a mess!

The root of the problem is rotten; what justice can you talk to him about?

If you have the guts to kill him, he'll just go back to being a fourth-level clerk or director.

enough!

Not afraid at all.

Shacher sat back down, looked at Colonel Smoker with a cold face in front of him, and said expressionlessly, "What kind of justice is this so-called naval justice?"

"To uphold world peace and order, and to drive out the evil that plagues the seas!"

"Expel the evil that wreaks havoc on the sea? Then what exactly is the evil that wreaks havoc on the sea? Senior Smoker, is the so-called justice that one bears truly justice?" Shache sighed and looked at Smoker. He knew that not all Marines knew the truth about the World Government and the darkness hidden within the Marines.

Shacher stood up, looked directly at Smoker, and said calmly, "Are you a thief who burns, kills, and plunders? Are you a slave-hunting gang that indiscriminately captures slaves? Or are you the one who hunts and kills innocent pregnant women for the sake of an infant? Or are you the one who brought about the destruction of the God Valley Kingdom..."

The words are not finished yet.

really.

"Shut up!"

He was interrupted!

Garp interrupted him directly!

Garp's smile vanished, replaced by a frown as he looked at Shache seriously. "Shache, although I don't know where you learned these secrets from, some secrets are best kept to yourself."

"Of course~, I was just startled by Smoker."

He wouldn't dare say these things to anyone else, but he had no choice; if he wanted to develop his business in the East China Sea, he couldn't avoid these two people.

Looking up at Smoker, who was frowning because of his words, Shacher paused for a moment before saying, "Senior Smoker, the justice that the Navy carries may not be as just as you imagine. In this era, there is no such thing as absolute justice!"

The words fell.

Before Smoker could say anything while looking intently at him.

"I knew Sengoku would only cause me trouble." Garp rubbed his head in exasperation. "I thought he was just a Marine who colluded with pirates, but I didn't expect you to know more than I thought. What do we do now? Should we just pretend we never met?"

“Lieutenant General Garp…” Smoker looked at Garp speechlessly. Although he didn’t know what Shach’s words meant, he could sense that it was a very troublesome matter.

Is the naval hero trying to shirk his responsibilities and run away?

Can you please make it less troublesome?

But before he could say anything...

"Let's leave it at that for now!" Garp picked his nose, looked at Shache who was still gripping the hilt of his sword, and said with a grin, "I'm too old for this, and I don't want to cause myself any more trouble! Besides, you... don't really want to arrest this kid, do you?"

"Hmph!" Smoker, who had been directly exposed by Garp, simply snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more.

With a dark expression, he turned to look at Xia Che, "The Mok Pirates must be put on trial. I will arrest the Mok Pirates and lock them up in Loguetown Prison."

"Arrest me if you want!" Moke stubbornly retorted after Smoker's words, "As long as the boss is alright, what does it matter if I, Moke, am locked up?"

just.

"Shut up!" Xia Che said, speechless, to the silly boy.

They were having a good talk, why did they have to be so reckless?

He was the one who brought Moke out of prison, and he didn't want to just send him back in like that.

When I first met this kid, he was skin and bones with a sallow complexion. I never expected that he would grow so strong in just a few years.

They're already taller than him.

But does it only grow in size and not in brain?

Of course~

Although he's a bit silly, Moke is very obedient to me. He will carry out my orders diligently, which is why I feel so comfortable letting Moke go out and become a pirate.

Don't be afraid that he will turn bad.

Shache turned his head, ignoring Smoker, and looked at Garp instead, "Thirty percent!"
