I just want to find a job, and then become a Navy Admiral.

Chapter 143 Going to [Honeycomb Island]

"The surrounding area?"

Tashigi was puzzled for a moment, but after looking at the hat, she immediately understood: "You mean a souvenir? A souvenir related to you. This hat is very popular. Although it's a lottery, it's comparable to Uta's souvenirs."

Su An nodded. "Uta...that world-class singer? But Morgans has done something like this again without permission. The punishment he received last time was too lenient..."

Tashigi looked at Suan with a puzzled expression. What was the punishment for Morgans?

The warships had already docked at this point.

When Su An disembarked, he saw the townspeople approaching, so he raised his hand to adjust his glasses and walked towards them.

The navy stayed behind at Huoshaoshan; why would they go up there and squeeze in with the townspeople?

"Brother Su An!" Mocha jumped into Su An's arms and then proudly showed Su An the hat.

The "SA" mark is not just a simple letter; there is also a black tulip at the bottom.

As Su An watched, the townspeople came up to him, asking him all sorts of questions, and many children looked at him with excitement.

After all, the news about BIGMOM had really given them a big shock.

As they were surrounded by the townspeople, Pike and the others stared intently at the best girls in town.

Without exception, all the girls were dressed exceptionally beautifully today, and their eyes were fixed on Su An.

"Bakzo, which one do you think it is?" Bamba asked in a low voice.

Bakzo shook his head: "I don't know, but the boss is definitely in love. Otherwise, why would he start caring about whether he can laugh or not? We've told him so many times before, but he never cared."

The people around nodded in agreement.

Pike, noticing Grouse's strange expression, asked, "Lieutenant Colonel Grouse, who do you think our boss is dating?"

Thanks to Bakzo's efforts, everyone on the ship now knows about Su An's relationship.

Especially when everyone learned that Su An, the boss who always worked with a blank expression, was actually smiling in front of the mirror, they were even more surprised than when they saw Su An wipe out a pirate crew.

Gross stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Is it possible for all three of them to come together...?"

A pair of eyes widened as they stared at Gross, then immediately looked at the three girls over there.

Tashigi glanced at the G5 Marines around the corner, then looked at Suan, who was surrounded by the townspeople: "Vice Admiral Suan is so popular with the townspeople. I heard before that they don't like the G5 Marines."

Angel, carrying a large bag, passed by Tashigi and said with a smile, "Yeah, she used to hate us, but it's understandable. Anyone would hate us for who we were before. But after Boss Suan came, things have improved a lot... Tashigi, you'll see when you see Boss's house that the townspeople helped him build it. And see that girl? Boss led us to rescue her from Punk Hazard."

Angel brought the large bag to Su An's side.

Inside are local specialties that Su An brought back from Wano Country.

Tashigi watched as Suan put down the little girl and took out the things from her bag to give to the townspeople. Although the townspeople accepted the gifts, they also put their own things into their bags.

Tashigi smiled for no apparent reason. "A cold-blooded good person, Mr. Smoker thinks so too, doesn't he?"

Smoker noticed Tashigi's gaze, gave her a cold look, and said, "Idiot, Su An has never been cold."

Smoker disembarked and headed towards where Fire Mountain and his group were.

"Billie was supposed to come with me, but I don't know why I can't contact her anymore. We clearly agreed that I would come to see you after I recovered."

A hint of regret flashed in Mocha's eyes as he looked down at his hat.

"And Billie also won your hat, Brother Suan, and she's so happy. We agreed that I would wear it with her and show it to you!"

Seeing the disappointment in Mocha's eyes, Suan remembered that Billie was one of the children rescued from Punk Hazard.

Mocha laughed and said, "But something must have delayed her on the way. She said she would be leaving from Dressrosa. Her mother was celebrating her recovery and taking her there for fun."

Mocha suddenly chuckled, then looked up at Su An: "And let me tell you, Su An, Billie told me that Xinde writes letters to the newspaper every day because they just can't win the lottery for this hat. But she's also helping other people write letters, and if she wins, she'll give it to someone else. Me too."

Mocha blinked her big eyes, which shone brighter than when she was seen in the Punk Hazard laboratory.

Su An reached out and ruffled Mocha's hair. "It's alright, I'll always be here. You can come anytime you want. As for the hats, I'll ask Morgans; he can get you some."

Mocha immediately shook his head: "We want to get it ourselves. You're our savior, we can't trouble you! Hey~~"

Su An's lips curled up slightly. "Okay, then I'll wait for you."

Su An added, "And next time you come, I'll take you to the ranch. Maybe there will be big animals to see."

Mocha's eyes immediately lit up, and after grinning, he nodded vigorously.

Seeing his parents waving at him, Mocha didn't bother Su An anymore. After bowing and thanking them, he went to find his parents.

After all, I know that Brother Su An is very busy.

The townspeople, too, came today simply to welcome their beloved Marine.

Having greeted him properly, they left without disturbing Su An.

Noticing that the townspeople had dispersed, Huoshaoshan stepped forward: "As popular as ever. And knowing that you're going to build a ranch on this island, they've been voluntarily helping out these past few days."

Su An took out his notebook: "The wages can be paid from the G5 branch, since it was approved by Mr. Zhan Guo anyway."

Huoshaoshan smirked and lit a cigar. He already knew about what was happening at headquarters. Although he was surprised that Marshal Zhan Guo would approve those plans, considering what Su An had done, the approval was only natural.

After all, he's a hero.

No matter what kind of treatment they receive, it's not something to envy.

"It's good that you're back." As Huoshaoshan walked with Su An, he pointed to the other side of the base under construction. "That's where the ranch, chicken coop, and other areas are planned. As for the sea king fish pond, I don't know why you would want to build a place like that, but I've seen a few sites that look pretty good."

Regarding the island you mentioned as the second base, I took a look. The wild beasts on the island are quite strong, but I didn't take any action. The pirates have been too rampant lately, and even the Marines in the G5 branch are short-handed. I haven't slept well for over ten days.

Huoshaoshan noticed Su An looking at him. "What's wrong?"

Su An pushed up her glasses: "I thought you were going to ask me for a knife, so I was prepared to apologize."

Huoshaoshan gave a helpless, bitter smile: "You didn't need to compensate me in the first place, and it's already good enough that you let me witness something like that."

Su An shook his head: "How can I not pay for the broken things? Besides, among the marines I recruited, there's one named Tashigi, who's also a swordsman and knows a lot about swords. She told me a lot about the swords that pirates carry. I've already picked out a few for you, and I'll go get them for you later. You can choose whichever you like."

Su An opened his notebook, and an entire page was filled with the names of knives and their owners, all of which he had heard from Tashigi.

For example, the owner of "Night" is Jolamir Mihawk.

【丛云切】 refers to Edward Newgate.

A whole bunch of people, etc.

Moreover, each name was marked with a checkmark or an X at the end, indicating whether it was suitable or not.

"And if things don't work out here with the pirates, I've heard there's a really skilled swordsmith in the East Blue. We can go there together and have one custom-made for you. I think I should have made enough money by then."

Hearing Su An say this, Huoshaoshan felt quite helpless.

Fire Mountain also saw the contents of the notebook, especially the part about Red-Haired Shanks, where he clearly saw checkmarks.

Are they eyeing the swords of the Four Emperors?

But Huoshaoshan quickly smiled in a conciliatory manner. "Only you can still be so carefree these days. I'm about to head to Dressrosa and the Kingdom of Assamvardo. I received orders a while ago saying that the pirates on Beehive Island have become increasingly rampant. Although they haven't directly attacked the towns and villages on the island, they've been specifically staking out passenger and merchant ships along trade routes. One of my former subordinates, along with the merchant ship he was escorting, was murdered."

Huoshaoshan removed the cigar from his mouth, a hint of sadness in his eyes: "These days, it's the same thing happening at sea all over the world. The leaders of those underground organizations all want to take over Field's business, and Wang Zhi of [Honeycomb Island] is even planning to directly seize control of the smuggling industry. He used to stay on Honeycomb Island, and although he ran the place, he kept a low profile. But now he's becoming more and more arrogant, constantly swallowing up BIGMOM's territory and recruiting his men to his side."

"If our forces weren't so stretched, we would have already launched an attack. But now, who knows what the Golden Lion is plotting..."

At this point, Huoshaoshan raised his hand and pointed forward, "The villagers have already built the framework for your courtyard. They'll stop working once they see your design drawings."

Huoshaoshan seemed to recall something amusing, so he joked, "The girl from the tailor shop in town even made two sets of clothes for you."

Su An looked over and found that not only had her house expanded, but the foundation had also been solidified.

only...

"You just said that Wang Zhi's men robbed people on the trade routes in Dressrosa?" Su An glanced at his house before looking up at Fire Mountain.

Fire Mountain nodded and put the cigar back in his mouth: "Although we don't yet know that guy's true ambitions, he has already made a high-profile announcement that he is one of the Four Emperors and has declared that Beehive Island is a kingdom."

"That guy probably wants to completely turn that lawless place into a pirate kingdom. To that end, his men have recently started a large-scale operation."

"They've appeared not only in Dressrosa in the New World, but also in Paradise and the Four Seas. Many unknown pirates, including some of Big Mom's former subordinates, have joined his ranks. When I spoke with Momonga earlier, he mentioned that one of Doflamingo's former subordinates had also joined."

Huoshaoshan's words conveyed a sense of resentment and helplessness.

The existence of Beehive Island is no accident. It is a place that is revered as a holy land by pirates, and pirates and criminals who come and go regard it as a sanctuary.

However, because its location was in a lawless place, and because Wang Zhi had never done anything out of line over the years, there had been no attack on that place.

Su An turned to the page in her notebook where Wang Zhi's name was written.

After Wang Zhi's name, there was a sentence that read, "I need to take care of this when I have time."

Su An added it today after he returned to his cabin after dealing with that ship.

"On my way here, I encountered their pirate ship chasing a merchant ship." Su An stared at the name Wang Zhi.

Huoshaoshan was somewhat surprised: "You encountered it?"

Su An shifted his gaze to Huoshaoshan and nodded, but then pointed to the temporary base port where, apart from the ship he had just seen, there were only three other warships there. "Did all of you go out because of Wang Zhi's men?"

Huoshaoshan glanced at the warships over there. "Well, it's not just them. Many of those pirates want to use your name to become famous, so there are always some who are not satisfied and come to G5 to cause trouble. Wang Zhi's men are not causing trouble; they are guarding the trade routes to rob."

"The warships will just go out..."

At this point, Huoshaoshan noticed that Su An closed his notebook.

"What's wrong?" Huoshaoshan couldn't help but ask.

Su An looked at the Fire Mountain: "I'll go take a look. From now on, my focus will be on reforming the G5 branch here. If a large number of pirates cause trouble and prevent me from working properly, I'll have a real headache."

Huoshaoshan frowned slightly, just about to speak.

Su An glanced back at Mocha and the others, who had already shrunk to the size of grains of rice. "And I have a slight suspicion, I hope I'm just overthinking it, but I have to go and see for myself."

After saying that, Su An looked at Huoshaoshan: "So I'll have to trouble you here. Here are some local specialties for you; you can see them when you open them. Please also help me distribute the ones to everyone else."

Su An handed the bag to the somewhat bewildered Huo Shaoshan and shouted to Smoker, "Smoker, tell everyone to get back to the ship, let's go."

""

Everyone was stunned for a moment. They had just returned and were already setting off?

Smoker looked puzzled as well: "Where to?"

"Honeycomb Island".

Su An adjusted his glasses and answered calmly.

"ah?"

Everyone was surprised.

Huoshaoshan immediately spoke up: "Wait a minute, Su An!"

Su An turned to look at Huoshaoshan: "We'll be back soon. After all, we just need to confirm that the child wasn't caught and take care of the job over there."

Fire Mountain: "Huh?"
