Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

Chapter 95 Watching the Fun

Although there was a slight mishap on Pakistan's side, it's not a big problem.

Those were just minor accidents; it just means Moke will have to stay with Bucky for a while longer.

Lieutenant General Garp's departure did not cause much of a stir.

After all, this guy was just here for a vacation, to relax, and incidentally act as a special guest in the duel.

I didn't do anything else.

Therefore, the 16th Naval Division continued to do what it was supposed to do.

As for Mihawk... when he has free time, he trains the trainees at the training camp or gives guidance to Kuina; when he doesn't have free time, he rests at Red Romance and is fully reimbursed.

According to him, this is his salary!

Furthermore, he stated that he had already given Xia Che a discount, considering that Xia Che is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and it would be impossible for an ordinary person to become a special instructor.

Of course, it's clear that he really wants to have another match.

only.

Every time I saw so many people, so many students, I still managed to hold back.

He didn't want to experience that kind of lousy sparring anymore.

As for Kuina... she gained a lot and improved very quickly under the tutelage of the world's greatest swordsman.

Meanwhile, the bears continued to expand.

Thanks to the recent glory of the East Blue Pirates, recruitment on islands near the member states went very smoothly. As a result, many member states were very grateful, thanking the Seven Warlords of the Sea for clearing out their useless citizens, making their member states look spacious and beautiful.

For this reason, some kings of the member states even led their guards to a nearby island to personally express their gratitude.

The officials of the nearby islands and the naval officers who were pretending to be the bear's men were very pleased with this. They warmly welcomed the king and the royal guards, and in the end, the royal guards were moved to tears and returned home with a full heart.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are not allowed to attack or plunder member states without cause, but this has now gone so far as to bully the Seven Warlords of the Sea on their own territory.

How can we tolerate them?

Just strip them naked, beat them up, and throw them out!

Even if the Navy Headquarters finds out, they have nothing to say and will instead rebuke these member states.

Why would someone go to the territory of the Seven Warlords of the Sea for no reason?

Do you really not consider the Seven Warlords of the Sea as pirates anymore?

The fact that they were able to return intact is already a great favor that Bartholomew Kuma did for the Navy.

Therefore, although the member states felt wronged, they could only swallow their anger.

After all, the Seven Warlords of the Sea did come to recruit workers, and the common people in their country did indeed voluntarily follow them.

As for the claim that the Seven Warlords of the Sea came to recruit workers in order to drain their coffers, who would believe that?

So, they can't win even if they fight!

What else could they do?

Fortunately... although a lot of civilians left, they were just civilians on the periphery of the member states, and they would become scavengers sooner or later. It's just a little faster now.

And I don't know when it started, but suddenly this saying began circulating in China...

With those filthy paupers gone, the entire member state has become more spacious and beautiful, and the Celestial Dragons are getting closer and closer to awarding it the title of a beautiful country in the East Blue.

As it spread wider and wider...

The royal family and nobles were immediately delighted again, realizing that this made perfect sense.

He even mocked the Seven Warlords of the Sea next door, saying that only a fool would recruit a bunch of useless, filthy, and poor bastards.

Some member states even began to celebrate.

Meanwhile, civilians abandoned on islands near the member states began to embrace new lives, looking forward to a fresh start.

For a while.

The two sides fell into an eerie harmony.

Even Xia Che couldn't help but sigh in admiration...

These member states are doomed sooner or later!

As time goes on, the member states will eventually realize that... once the commoners are gone, they will no longer be the so-called nobles and royalty.

Those who are bullied are always at the bottom. When the common people who should be at the bottom are gone, who will be bullied next?

One can imagine.

As for now...

They can just watch from the sidelines.

It can be said that everything in the 16th Naval Branch is now on the right track.

Their territory is growing larger, their number of marines is increasing, and even their profits are constantly growing.

……

And today...

"Dong Dong~"

"Enter!"

Xia Che looked at Mihawk, who walked in with a cold expression, with surprise, before he could even speak.

“I should be leaving.” Mihawk stated his purpose for coming directly. “After thinking about it, I decided to come and let you know.”

"Weren't you looking for Vegapunk?" Shacher asked, a hint of confusion on his face as he heard that Mihawk was leaving.

He knew perfectly well that the World Government had issued a mandatory order, and that this guy had come to the East Blue just to slack off.

Leave now...

"What? You're not planning to slack off anymore?"

"..."

Is it really okay for you to say that?

Although he was indeed slacking off, it was still an order from the World Government.

Of course, Mihawk knew that this guy was a corrupt navy officer, so why would he care about the World Government's orders?

"Having searched for so long without success, the World Government is preparing to rescind the mandatory order," Mihawk said coldly. "Next, the World Government will likely send in spies to investigate covertly; after all, they can't keep searching like this indefinitely!"

As he spoke, although his face was indifferent, you could tell from the upturned corners of his mouth that he was in a rather pleasant mood.

"I wonder which guy is so bold as to steal someone right under the nose of the World Government!"

"...Is that so? What a pity."

Xia Che raised an eyelid, then looked up at Mihawk in front of him and said with some regret, "I didn't expect you to leave so soon. I thought you would challenge me to another duel!"

"..."

I'm looking for you, you big hammer!

While the prospect of fighting this degenerate naval captain again is certainly intriguing, he has decided, to avoid a repeat of the last incident, that he will absolutely not duel this scoundrel in the East China Sea.

Mihawk raised an eyelid, no longer dwelling on the topic. As if remembering something, he said casually, "I've already fulfilled your request. I must say it was a waste of time!"

"Ah, is that so?" Xia Che didn't pay attention to Mihawk's words. For this guy... not having a duel with a strong swordsman was basically a waste of time.

Just listen.

Instead, he asked, "What about Kuina?"

"Just a slightly talented little girl, another waste of time." Mihawk remained dismissive, but after a pause, he continued, "She's too influenced by you. While I admit her so-called Water Breathing is quite good, to become a top swordsman, she must break free from your influence, otherwise..."

He gave a cold laugh. "That would just be a clumsy imitation!"

During this time, he also became clear about the strength of this guy's junior sister. Although she also had other sword styles, all the others were exactly the same moves as this guy's.

For other swordsmen, imitating others is also a viable path.

only.

That guy seems to dream of becoming the strongest female swordsman, so he can't keep imitating her!

Looking at Xia Che, who was frowning, Mihawk paused for a moment, then sneered and said, "It seems you already understand. So, you asked me to teach her so that she would understand this principle and see my swordsmanship!"

Of course, he didn't care about these things. If he could train a powerful swordsman, that would be good too.

"Very well, it's time for me to leave. I'll be waiting for you in the new world!"

The voice just fell.

After saying that, he was about to turn and leave.

"Pulu pulu~"

A Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooped-up insect) rang nearby.

It was Robin's Den Den Mushi. She looked at Natsume and, after receiving permission, directly connected to the Den Den Mushi.

Then, not long after.

Robin hung up the Den Den Mushi, glanced hesitantly at Mihawk who was still there, and finally, after Shattrath indicated that everything was alright, said with a helpless expression, "Dear Boss, someone has hijacked our goods~"

As soon as these words fell.

Before Xia Che could say anything, Mihawk, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and sat down on the customer sofa with an interested expression on his indifferent face.

"..."

Xia Che remained silent for a moment, then asked directly, "Weren't you leaving?"

"I suddenly remembered I have something to say. What's wrong? Should I leave for a moment?"

"Oh, no need for that!"

“In that case, don’t worry about me!” Mihawk stretched out his hand, gesturing for them to continue, and then leisurely poured himself a cup of black tea. “I can talk about my matter later.”

"..."
