One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

Loya recalled the information and quickly found the corresponding information in his memory.

This is Kaya's house!

In the future, Kro's plan to clear his name will aim to kill Miss Kaya and rightfully inherit her family's fortune.

"The wealthy, their inheritance"

Loya stroked his chin.

He suddenly realized that if he could marry Miss Kaya, wouldn't that mean he could avoid working for ten years?

It's not just about financial freedom.

Who wouldn't like a fair-skinned, beautiful, delicate, and incredibly kind young lady?

Anyway, he likes it quite a bit.

Marrying one or more gentle, virtuous, and beautiful wives was also one of his life goals, and Kaya perfectly matched his fantasy.

Dry!

You won't know your limits until you push yourself.

Loya rubbed his face and tugged at Fenbudi's sleeve, saying, "Brother Di, can I borrow your cosmetics?"

"Huh? Don't you dislike wearing makeup?"

Fenbdi looked wary; the cosmetics set was his prized possession, a limited edition he had purchased on Glass Pearl Island, a cutting-edge fashion destination in the East China Sea.

It's very precious!

"Ha, I'm going to work hard to find a rich woman!"

----------

In less than half a day, the warship arrived at Xiluobu Village and docked at the Xiluobu family's shipyard for repairs.

Upon hearing the news, the head of the Sirob family came to the shipyard to greet him. When he saw Rod, a look of joy appeared on his pale face.

"Ahem, Colonel Rhodes."

"Long time no see, Mr. Sirlos. You look great today."

"Sigh, I don't know how much longer I can live. Come to my house, I've asked Mei Li to prepare dinner, let's have a drink tonight."

The two walked together like old friends, chatting about everyday things.

Luo Ya and his companion followed behind, acting as bodyguards, while secretly observing the wealthy man who was one of the most prominent in the East China Sea.

He wore gold-rimmed glasses, had very fair skin, and was very thin. He coughed a few times after taking only a few steps, clearly a sickly person.

Perhaps it was because he had been suffering from illness for a long time, but he felt very comfortable with the other person, who did not have the sharp aura of a superior.

Upon arriving at the Sirob family home and seeing the magnificent estate and mansion before him, Loya became even more determined to marry a rich woman.

Even in his previous life, he had never seen such a luxurious private residence!

At the entrance of the mansion, Mr. Sirob's wife and daughter, Kaya, stood together, looking like they were cut from the same mold.

The same light blonde shoulder-length short hair, the same pretty and delicate face, the same fair and soft skin, the same light green dress, the same gentle and charming temperament, and so on.

"Cough cough cough~~"

The mother and daughter both covered their mouths and coughed at the same time.

They were both sickly.

"Uncle Rod!"

Kaya happily jumped into Rod's arms.

Because of her poor health and long-term bedridden condition, Kaya knew very few people, but her father's good friend Rod was one of her closest outsiders.

Not far away, Loya was stunned.

Fimbidi noticed that Loya's expression was a little off and asked with some confusion, "Loya, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, I just broke up with my boyfriend."

Loya sighed and looked up at the sky.

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.

He overlooked the most important thing: age. Kaya is only twelve or thirteen years old, still a little girl who hasn't even grown up yet.

He's not a lolicon.

Forget it, women will only slow down his muscle training.

As night fell, the dinner was extremely lavish.

Rare and precious ingredients, such as deep-sea fish, are lavishly displayed on the table as if they were free. Under the chefs' meticulous preparation, they exude an enticing aroma, fully showcasing the essence of the dish.

It's nice to have money!

"tasty!"

Loya also joined the table and couldn't stop eating.

Colonel Rhodes only brought the two of them with him, and the Sirob couple were very approachable, so they invited them to dine together.

Since Colonel Rhodes had no objections, Loya was naturally happy to freeload, as it was a rare treat to enjoy such a delicious meal.

While Loya was engrossed in eating and drinking, Sirob and his wife were observing him.

During their conversation with Rhodes during the day, they learned that Rhodes valued this recruit named Loya highly and even revealed that he wanted to train him to become the next base commander of Branch 153.

Coincidentally, they had a troublesome matter they needed help with.

"I hope he can protect Kaya."

Chapter 16 A daughter-in-law should be trained from childhood.

Three days later, the warship was fully maintained.

Colonel Rhodes did not delay and immediately bid farewell to the Sirlos. As the highest-ranking officer of the 153rd branch, he could not linger outside for too long.

Just as Loya and Fombardy were about to leave with the colonel, Colonel Rhodes suddenly called them back, his face serious: "Loya, Fombardy, you two stay here."

"Ok?"

Question marks appeared on their foreheads.

Colonel Rhodes handed a small Den Den Mushi to Loya and earnestly instructed him, "For the next three months, your mission is to protect Miss Kaya's safety. If you encounter any insurmountable crises, immediately call the branch for help!"

"Yes, Colonel Rhodes!"

The two men stood tall and responded loudly.

As a marine, the first priority is to obey orders. If you have any doubts, you have to keep them to yourself and ask them privately later.

After watching Colonel Rhodes leave, the two men looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Brother Di, have we been reduced to bodyguards?"

"Yes."

Finbdy patted Loya on the shoulder, somewhat envious: "Good lad, Colonel Rhodes is paving the way for you."

"It really is."

Loya thought so too.

He himself didn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on behind the scenes when such a good job was given to the two of them.

Finbuddy will be going to headquarters soon, and his connections in the East Blue won't be of much use to him. Therefore, this mission is most likely prepared for him, as opportunities to spend time with the wealthy family are rare.

As for why he was chosen.

There was probably no one in the branch more suitable for this task than him, and good students always receive preferential treatment. Loya could feel Colonel Rhodes's affection for him.

Not long after, the butler, Melly, found Loya and his companion and said humbly, "Mr. Loya, Mr. Fombardy, please come with me."

"Ok."

The two of them followed.

During this brief moment, Meili recounted the whole story.

Simply put, as Miss Kaya grew older and her health improved significantly compared to when she was a child, she wanted to go out and see the world.

Considering Kaya's feelings, the Sirob couple decided to take her to visit nearby towns over the next three months.

Their main task is to protect Miss Kaya's safety during these three months.

The three arrived at the warehouse at the back of the manor.

After the door opened, the housekeeper, Meili, smiled and stepped aside, gesturing for them to come in: "Please take a look. If you don't find anything suitable, I can make one especially for you two."

"This is."

The two walked into the warehouse with a puzzled look on their faces, but their eyes lit up when they saw the dazzling array of swords and guns on the walls.

It's an armory!

Loya took down a rifle and stroked the barrel with obvious affection: "Mr. Meryl, can I really take it as I please?"
