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

The 153rd branch was handed over to Monka.

Food Bar

Loya informed Finbdi and the others of his application, explaining that as a major, it wouldn't be a problem for him to leave with a few trusted confidants.

"Do you want to come with me?"

"Of course!"

Fenbdi and Zango nodded simultaneously.

They definitely have to leave. What future could they possibly have staying in Branch 153? Besides, they have no ties to this place.

Loya laughed and looked at Zoro.

"And you, Zoro?"

"There must be many powerful individuals there, right?"

"Have!"

"Then I'll go!"

Zoro's eyes burned with fervor, making no attempt to conceal his ambition.

He went to Windmill Village with Loya. Although he didn't fight any powerful swordsmen, he truly realized what a strong person was under Garp's rigorous training.

The image of Garp laughing heartily and playfully blocking his three knives with a single finger still echoed in his mind.

Before this, he had never imagined that such a huge gap existed in the world. In front of Garp, he was as weak and helpless as a black ant.

If Loya brought him out of the narrow well and described the outside world to him with great enthusiasm, then Garp let him see the vast ocean and the grandeur of the world with his own eyes.

That man must possess terrifying power like Garp, otherwise how could he bear the title of "World's Greatest Swordsman"?

He must hone his skills even more!

"it is good!"

Loya smiled and raised his glass.

Let's make a scene!

"cheers!"

"Cheers!" x3

"Hey Zoro, you're not an adult yet, you can't drink alcohol! You can only drink juice!"

"Only children drink juice!"

It's quiet at night.

The bed swayed for a long time before finally stopping.

Loya, shirtless, walked to the window, lit a cigarette, and said, "I'm leaving. I don't know when I'll be back."

"I know."

Lily put on her pajamas, walked to the shelf by the wall and took down a bottle of sherry. Then she came to Loya's side, put her arms on the windowsill, and didn't seem to care if outsiders saw their affair.

It's already spread.

She didn't intend to hide it.

Lily took a sip of wine, and her complexion became much rosier.

"You men are all the same."

"Don't try to comfort me with your fake concern. It was a mutual decision, and neither of us owes the other anything. Besides, you've taken good care of me."

"Judging from your expression, you wouldn't happen to be thinking of taking responsibility for me, would you?"

"Hehe, don't be silly, there's no way I'd marry you."

She still has her daughter to rely on, so she's not that fragile, and she's not at the point where she needs a man's pity.

Loya almost choked.

Isn't this woman incredibly capable?

"Hey, Ririka."

Loya felt he should be more manly, so he reached out and grabbed Ririka's shoulders, looking down at her.

"Actually, I wanted to say that I've saved up quite a bit of money. If you'd like, I'd like to take you to Loguetown and open a tavern there."

"what."

Lili was stunned, clearly not expecting Loya to pull this stunt.

Very happy.

"Really?"

"of course it's true!"

Loya had his own plans.

He captured many pirates, earning millions of Berries in rewards alone. In addition to the extra spoils from capturing pirates, half went into his own pocket, and the other half was distributed among his subordinates.

My wallet is full.

Besides, he didn't have many places to spend money.

The branch would reimburse him for expenses such as drinking and eating out, and would also regularly provide him with cigarettes and coffee, which was more than enough for him to consume.

Money only realizes its value when it is spent.

Even if he doesn't take Lily with him, he plans to take over a shop or house in Loguetown, which would be convenient for relaxing or discussing battle plans.

The navy in Loguetown is no small branch; it has a permanent force of over 1000 men. It won't be easy for a newcomer to gain a foothold.

He needed a safe place and a trustworthy person to manage it, and Lily was just the right fit.

Loya considered for a moment, then added, "Lily, Loguetown is very prosperous. If little Lily could study there, it would be good for her future—"

"do not talk!"

Lili hugged Loya's neck, her eyes seemingly shimmering with tears.

"It's almost 12 o'clock, don't waste time."

"Ugh~ Ugh ugh ugh~~~"

Chapter 53 The New Official's Arrival at the Office Was Affected by Fire

Less than half a month later, Loya's transfer application was approved by his superiors, requiring him to report to Rogge Town within three months.

There is plenty of time.

Loya said goodbye to each of his acquaintances and even made a special trip to Xirob Village to visit Kaya and her parents.

After I finish all this...

At the port of Shells, the 153rd detachment of warships raised their sails.

On the coast, all the officers and sailors of the 153rd branch, along with all the residents of Shells Town, saw Loya off.

Loya is the pride of Branch 153 and Shells Town. After the Moon Island incident, the pirates in the nearby waters were severely damaged and will not be able to cause any trouble for at least a year. Loya deserves such treatment.

"Good luck, Major Loya!"

"We're waiting to hear your good news!"

"Bon Voyage!"

The crowd waved goodbye.

Goodbye, everyone!

Loya stood on the edge of the deck, gazing at Shells Town until the island was completely out of sight before turning his gaze away.

"despair!"

Fenbdi and Zango placed the dual speakers on the deck and pressed play.

"Ang~I want Golden Wind"

War song, rise!

The two stood on tiptoe, one on the left and one on the right.

"Parting is always accompanied by sadness."
