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

Loya with black hair!

A shadow fell over the eyes of all the officers, and they all remembered the name Loya. Such ruthless methods truly terrified them.

Kizaru leisurely trimmed his nails, jokingly remarking, "Young people these days are terrifying, like monsters."

"Oh dear, no matter what, they've gone a bit too far."

Aokiji frowned, looking very uncomfortable.

"Humph!"

Akainu snorted coldly: "When dealing with evil, there should be no room for compromise. For the sake of justice, necessary sacrifices are worthwhile. To allow pirates to commit evil deeds is the greatest dereliction of duty!"

The other officers remained silent.

No matter how ruthless Loya's methods were, and no matter how many people were sacrificed, the Loguetown incident itself was not actually wrong.

Slaying pirates is the Navy's responsibility!

We cannot compromise with pirates out of fear of sacrifice.

If all the information about the Arlong Pirates' misdeeds is true, then the headquarters also bears an undeniable responsibility for oversight.

The meeting ended abruptly.

This incident has had a huge impact, but before the truth is fully investigated, we must proceed according to procedure, such as rewarding Loya!

Ten minutes later, in the Marshal's office.

A silver-haired man with a fierce expression, smoking two cigars, appeared at the office door and went inside without permission.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period!"

"Smorg?"

When Sengoku looked up and saw Smoker, his head, which was already throbbing from Loya, immediately swelled up even more.

This kid is no pushover either. Not only does he often disobey orders, but he also recently gave his superior a good beating.

The Warring States period ended with a stern expression.

"What's the matter?"

"Marshal, I want to be transferred to Rogge Town!"

Smoker's face was full of restlessness.

Staying at headquarters, the complicated interpersonal relationships made him extremely irritable, especially since his colleagues were all useless, incompetent, and yet they wanted to order him around.

He wants to go it alone!

I happened to attend a meeting today, and that kid named Loya really intrigued me. Coincidentally, the place I wanted to go to was also Loguetown.

Smoker slammed his hands on the table: "Marshal, the truth about the Loguetown incident needs to be investigated, and I can take charge of this task."

"."

Marshal Sengoku was exasperated, wanting to ask Smoker what he was going to do to take responsibility, given his headstrong personality and how much trouble he had caused.

but

The Warring States period was a time of serious reflection.

Sending Smoker might not be a bad idea.

That Loya is extraordinary. Not only is he very strong, but he is also very cunning. Whether it's Kroo, Bucky, or Arlong, Loya has found their fatal weaknesses.

However, Luo Yatai was also extremely ruthless, even plotting against and killing his colleagues.

Sengoku didn't know if there was something going on, because according to the intelligence obtained from the 153rd branch, Loya valued his comrades very much and would never kill his own people in order to rise in rank.

In short, ordinary officers might not be able to keep Loya in check in Loguetown, but Smoker's personal strength and assertive personality are just right to suppress Loya and keep that kid from going too far.

If Loya really crosses the line, Smoker can punish him!

"Smoker."

Zhan Guo nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "You can go to Loguetown, but let me make it clear beforehand that Loguetown is the East China Sea branch, and according to regulations, the base commander will be given priority to be a branch officer."

"no problem!"

Smoker understood that he couldn't become the boss directly in Loguetown.

Under normal circumstances, when vacancies arise in the Sihai branch, they will be filled internally first, especially the important position of base leader.

On the one hand, the internal officers are more familiar with the branch's situation and can quickly take over the work; on the other hand, if a base commander is parachuted in, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the branch officers.

If officers are dispatched from headquarters, they will first serve in the branch for a period of time before being considered for taking over.

"Loya!"

Smoker's eyes were sharp.

Let him expose that guy's true colors!

Is he truly seeking to uphold justice to the end, or is he simply in cahoots with those power-hungry scoundrels?

Chapter 71 Roggetown Base Chief Loya

It took a week of washing to remove the red stains from the execution square, restoring it to its original state and restoring the damage to its original condition.

Only then did the once quiet town of Rogue regain some of its liveliness.

Branch office, base director's office.

The windows were wide open, and a cool breeze was blowing.

Loya sat at the coffee table, holding stones he had picked up at random, and was intently stacking them up, while the shouts of the marines echoed in his ears.

The branch had far fewer marines than before, but their slogans were even louder, and having been through the baptism of life and death, their morale was even more solid.

A truly elite force!

Finbdi appeared at the door, holding a thick stack of documents in his hand.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in."

Fombey approached the coffee table, beaming as he handed over the documents: "Major, no, Colonel! Your promotion approval has arrived."

"Well, let me see."

Loya picked up the document and casually flipped through it.

His achievement in defeating the Arlong Pirates earned him two promotions, making him a branch colonel and the head of the Loguetown branch base.

It was pretty much what he expected.

However, we cannot be careless. The Navy Headquarters should have noticed his little tricks, but since they are far away and have no evidence, they can't do anything about him for the time being.

But headquarters will definitely take action.

"really!"

Loya flipped to the last page, looked at the silver-haired man with a fierce face who seemed to owe everyone money, and laughed.

What's meant to happen will happen!

It's the famous Smoker!

The Loguetown branch suffered heavy losses, and the Navy Headquarters, under the guise of providing support, dispatched Colonel Smoker to serve at the Loguetown branch.

He was nominally his subordinate.

However, in terms of rank, the headquarters colonel is clearly higher than him, the branch colonel, and whether or not he can order Smoker around will probably depend on his fists.

Moreover, if Smoker finds evidence that he murdered Murak and others, he may very well replace him and take over Loguetown.

I suppose that's what headquarters meant.

If there are no problems, everyone should compete for the top spot based on their own abilities; if there are problems, they should be shut down immediately.

"Smoker!"

Loya was somewhat happy.

Smoker was his favorite officer, bar none, and a large part of the reason he applied to come to Loguetown was to see Smoker.

The reason is very simple: Smoker is righteous but not pedantic. He dares to confront his superiors without hesitation, dares to challenge the Seven Warlords of the Sea who are allies, and even dares to question the actions of the World Government.

In Loya's view, the Navy is missing someone like Smoker who dares to take a stand!

If all navies were as subservient to the World Government as Fleet Admiral Sengoku, there would be no hope for the future of navies.

Loya put down the approval document and asked, "What's the status of the compensation for the fallen soldiers?"

"All have been distributed without any omissions."

Finnbudy looked somber.

Although most of the fallen soldiers were not on good terms with them, they were still comrades who had fought together, so it was inevitable that they felt some sadness.

However, that's how the navy is; whenever there's war, there will be sacrifices, only this time the casualties are greater.
