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

Chapter 155 Vice Admiral Doro of the Navy Headquarters, dead!

The bounty hunters and adventurers in the town are becoming increasingly urgent.

Su An sat on a bench in the town square, feeding pigeons with bread in his hand, his notebook beside him.

Su An didn't care about the town's state of alert; he had his own worries...

I've been out for almost half a month.

I haven't found the right person.

Although I've been on vacation, it seems I've gone too far with the fun and haven't found the right person yet.

Su An came to this mercenary town hoping to meet the right person...

Where can I find a suitable person?

Su An crumbled the last piece of breadcrumbs and threw it on the ground before picking up his notebook.

It simply says "Normal Person" on it.

Since it wasn't a recruitment drive for the G5 branch, there was no need for exams or anything like that. Moreover, after weighing the options, the only requirement Su An could think of was that the person be a "normal person."

Having spent time in the Navy Headquarters and G5 Branch, Su An felt that there were too few normal people in the Navy, so he just needed to find normal people who were at least reasonably strong.

You can look up and see...

None of them look normal!

"elder brother."

Su An turned his head and saw a chubby boy and a little girl standing beside him.

The chubby boy wore a navy hat and had a wooden sword hanging at his waist.

The little girl was wearing a floral dress and had her hair in pigtails.

"Brother, are you a tourist? You're so pretty," the chubby boy said, looking at Su An.

The little girl next to him covered her mouth and rolled her eyes at the chubby boy. How could anyone talk like that?

Su An turned to look at the chubby boy and nodded, replying, "Yeah, he's prettier than you."

"?" The chubby boy blinked, his cheeks puffing out. Who talks like that? He turned and ran away.

The little girl covered her mouth and giggled, "Hehehe~~"

But when she saw Su An looking at her, the little girl immediately said, "I'm not as good-looking as you, brother."

Su An pushed up her sunglasses and smiled gently: "No, you're prettier than me."

The little girl blinked, smiled, and a blush crept onto her face. She sat obediently on the bench. "Brother, my name is Luna. Leica and I saw that you are a tourist, so we came to say hello. We wanted to hear you tell us where you are from and what fun things are happening in your hometown."

"Mmm!" The chubby boy squatted down on the side of the bench at some point and nodded vigorously.

Su An took out some snacks from her bag and handed them to the little girl.

The little girl's eyes lit up when she saw the snacks and candies, but she looked at Su An a little shyly. Noticing Su An's gaze, she accepted them.

The chubby boy named Leica swallowed hard.

Su An gestured for him to eat as well and then said, "I came from the G5 branch."

Upon hearing this, Lyca immediately looked at Su An: "It's that island where the G5 branch is located? Have you ever met Lieutenant General Su An?! That hero, Su An!"

Su An paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I've seen it in the mirror."

Mirror?

The two little creatures looked puzzled.

But Lyca didn't care about any of that, her face beaming with excitement: "Is he as terrible as the newspapers say? No, I can't say terrible, he's a superhero! He's killed so many pirates, and pirates wouldn't dare go anywhere he's around."

Su An thought for a moment, "No, there are quite a lot of pirates in the area where he is."

Lyca didn't understand, but the little thing still excitedly said, "Then he must have wiped out all the pirates! I heard the adults say that he likes to kill people, just like Uncle Orombus. They both like to kill people, but they only kill criminals and protect other people."

Lyca gripped the hilt of the wooden sword at her waist: "When I grow up, I'll definitely become a navy officer like Vice Admiral Suan! To protect the peace of the seas!"

A hint of helplessness flashed in Su An's dark eyes. "It's just that others aren't tough enough to take a beating, and he himself doesn't really enjoy killing people."

After Su An finished speaking, he looked at Lyca with a puzzled expression: "The Orombus you mentioned, is he the admiral of that grand fleet?"

Luna answered quickly: "Yes! It's Uncle Orombus from our town. He's very strong. Many adventurers in town are willing to follow him, and His Majesty the King trusts him a lot. Dozens of ships in that harbor belong to him. Our town has been safe all this time because of Uncle Orombus."

Luna chuckled, "Although he looks terrifying and has been given a very bad nickname, the people of Orombus are quite interesting. I heard that they get up on time every day to make their beds and eat very orderly, eating little by little. They are not like people who look like him at all."

Normal person!

Su An immediately made a judgment.

Before Su An could speak, an adventurer walking past them, holding a Den Den Mushi, announced, "The Navy has entered the town! They say it's led by a Vice Admiral from Marine Headquarters."

"Why did the lieutenant general come to our town in person? Has some great pirate come?"

While the adventurers were talking, a small number of them ran towards the other end of the street, while the rest stayed where they were.

The townspeople and tourists in the square must have all heard the news, and many townspeople curiously ran towards that direction.

Although everyone has seen the Navy, it is extremely rare to see a Vice Admiral at the Navy Headquarters.

After all, he was a big shot in the navy.

Leica's eyes lit up as she looked at Su An and said, "Brother, let's talk again when I get back. I'm going to see the lieutenant general at headquarters first!"

With that, he turned and ran.

But then, as if remembering something, he turned to look at Luna.

Luna obediently jumped off the bench, bowed to Su An, and said, "I'll come over later too."

Su An nodded, but didn't say anything.

Watching the two children walk away, he picked up his notebook and wrote down Orombus's name. "There are actually normal people with such good routines. I should try to get to know them."

"Ace! Doro really did smell it coming, hurry up... don't fall asleep, you bastard!"

At a fried rice stall on another street, Deus, dressed in strange clothes, listened to the voices of the townspeople behind him, and a look of panic appeared in his eyes, which were the only part of his fully armed body exposed.

But when he looked at Ace, he found that the bastard had fallen asleep while eating again. Just as he was about to reach out to hit him out of habit, Ace paused, lowered his head, and glanced at the other end of the street out of the corner of his eye.

One by one, the marines walked over, led by Doro, followed by Isca.

"You're here so soon?"

Deus's gaze turned serious. He stopped looking at Ace and instead glanced at Ace, who was still asleep.

Ace! You absolutely mustn't wake up right now.

Diuss lowered his head, pretending to be a tourist eating there.

"Lieutenant General Dolo, there are too many people here." Iska glanced at the civilians who had run over, and looked around for Fire Fist, his expression showing concern.

Dolo didn't respond to Iska, his gaze sweeping over the crowd on the street. There were many people, but the more crowded it was, the more it proved that Fire Fist had entered the town.

Deus glanced at Doro and the other navy men getting closer and closer, and a sense of urgency filled him.

Although their captain might not necessarily lose to the enemy, the enemy's strength, plus so many bounty hunters here, is too troublesome.

Fortunately, this guy is still here...

"Huh? Was I asleep, Deus?"

As Deus felt relieved, he looked at Ace beside him.

What you can see is that Ace suddenly raised his head and turned to look at you with a blank expression.

And that's exactly when Doro happened to walk by.

Doro turned his head and saw Ace's face clearly.

Dolo smirked, "I knew it! Fire Fist Ace!"

Deus frowned, looking at Ace, thinking, "That idiot!" As he thought this, he reached for the longsword at his waist.

Ace turned to look at Doro with a bewildered expression.

Upon seeing Doro clearly, Ace's expression immediately turned to shock.

Iska then jumped out and looked at Ace and Deus: "Wait a minute! Fire Fist! We're here to talk to you!"

Ace had already pulled Deus away and pulled off his mask to reveal his true face.

"Fire Fist Ace!"

Those around immediately recognized him; many bounty hunters' eyes gleamed with greed, but even more were filled with shock.

Although he was just a newcomer.

But the name Fire Fist has already resounded throughout the New World.

In particular, he wreaked havoc in the Sabaody Archipelago, defeating many Supernova pirates who were on par with him.

Moreover, the current bounty has reached 300 million!

No wonder a vice admiral from the Navy Headquarters was dispatched to arrest him.

"Hey! It's amazing you managed to find us, Doro." Ace said to Doro with a smile.

Dolo didn't waste any more words. He took out the black envelope and tossed it over, saying, "This is for you from above."

Dios took the letter and opened it.

As soon as he opened it, Deus's expression froze for a moment, then he suddenly looked at Doro and exclaimed, "Inviting...inviting my captain to become a Shichibukai!?"

Diuss's eyes were filled with disbelief.

The letter was very simple, you could even say it was just one sentence: the Five Elders, the highest authorities in the World Government, recommended that Portgas D. Ace become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Deus was well aware of what the Seven Warlords of the Sea represented.

But now Ace has been invited to become a Shichibukai!

Those around him were also shocked when they heard what Deus said.

Invite a newcomer to become a Shichibukai?

Those around Ace looked at him, then at the Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral.

Iska stared at Ace, but then looked at the people around her, especially at the two children standing not far behind Fire Fist Ace.

If you agree, then naturally there's no need for conflict.

But if a conflict breaks out here...

Isca looked at Dolo.

This must be my imagination; the lieutenant general wouldn't fight Fire Fist in a place like this.

Thinking this, Iska placed her hand on the hilt of her sword at her waist and looked at Ace with a wary expression, because she was worried that Fire Fist might go berserk and hurt someone in order to escape!

Moreover, this man's method of attack was fire...

We absolutely must not let the flames hurt anyone again!

"I'm sorry, but I refuse. I've always disliked the Seven Warlords system."

Ace leaned closer to Deus, glanced at him, and immediately refused.

"Hey!"

Doro's lips twitched, as if he'd been waiting for that line, "You really refused! Fire Fist... regarding the Seven Warlords, although we share the same opinion, it's great that you refused! I was just worried about what would have happened if you had agreed."

What should we do...!

Iska sensed something and immediately looked at Dolo: "Lieutenant General! If a battle breaks out here..."

shave!

moment!

Doro charged straight at Ace, and the moment he clenched his fist, Armament Haki enveloped it.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Ace.

boom!

Ace crossed his arms, his arms also covered with Armament Haki, and took the punch head-on.

Doro's enormous body, coupled with the Armament Haki he was unleashing without reservation, was terrifying!

Everyone around was startled.

But someone immediately shouted, "Everyone, get out of here!"

The people in the square also heard the noise, and Su An, who was sitting on a bench, turned his head to look.

Ace smirked, looking at Doro's ferocious expression: "Hey, Doro, if we fight here, all the civilians in this town will be implicated."

Doro stared intently at Ace. "It wasn't me who dragged them down, it was you, Ace!"

Deus, who was standing to the side, had already taken several steps back. He glanced at the chubby boy and the little girl beside him, who were startled by the sudden commotion, and immediately looked at Dolo: "Didn't we agree to talk business, Dolo?"

Dolo raised another fist high and slammed it down directly at Ace!

boom!

As Ace dodged, his punch slammed into the ground. Among the people who hadn't had time to escape, a pregnant woman was knocked to the ground by the shockwave from the punch.

"Ah!" The pregnant woman clutched her belly and screamed in pain.

"Get in the way!" Doro coldly growled.

Then, the flamethrower on his arm made a strange sound.

Ace saw the pregnant woman and immediately looked at Doro: "If you want to fight, go outside! Doro!"

Wow!

The instant Ace finished speaking!

Doro's aura exploded instantly, and when he took off his navy justice coat, fuel was revealed hanging from his waist.

The container, and the complete shape of the thrusters on his arms, were revealed. "You're a pirate, yet you think about protecting civilians? You seem to have forgotten that it's because of you that they're in their current situation!"

Doro was filled with murderous intent, his eyes fixed solely on pirates.

The surrounding civilians fled in droves, but there were already so many people that it was impossible for them all to evacuate at once.

"Could it be..." Iska, who had just led several people to safety, looked at Dolo's actions and immediately understood what he was about to do: "Lieutenant General Dolo! There are innocent civilians around! Please stop!"

"Hey, you didn't deliberately choose a place like this to fight me, did you...?" Ace's expression changed in surprise, and the next moment, part of his body turned into flames. "Everyone, run!"

boom!

Flames suddenly erupted from the tips of the flamethrowers on Doro's arms, their target none other than Fire Fist Ace.

But it only lasts for a fleeting moment!

The crimson flames instantly ignited the surrounding buildings, and those who had not had time to escape were immediately engulfed in flames.

A continuous stream of flames shot out from the jetpack, and the fire intensified in an instant!

Even though Ace, who had transformed into flames, managed to block some of the damage, he still couldn't control it.

Lyca, panting heavily, held a wooden sword in her hand and stood in front of Luna, looking at the terrifying vice admiral. Her body trembled uncontrollably, and fear was written all over her face.

That's not how the navy works...

wrong!

That's not how a vice admiral works!

Lieutenant General Su An is clearly not like that!

As she thought this, Lyca looked at the approaching flames and pulled Luna to the side, but the fire grew larger and larger.

The two children were even more frightened.

"So he did step in to protect the civilians after all? Heh!" Doro glanced at Lyca and Luna, then saw Ace's expression. His lips curled into a smirk, his face completely devoid of his usual kind and benevolent demeanor.

It was as if the trick had succeeded.

boom!

A pillar collapsed under the flames.

Wow!

A flash of sword light appeared.

Iska severed it and went to the pregnant woman lying on the ground, her face filled with panic and fear. She looked at Lieutenant General Dolo and said, "Stop! Lieutenant General Dolo, even if you're going to arrest someone, do it outside! You're not..."

When Iska got to this point, she saw the ferocious expression on Dolo's face.

Iska's parents died in the fire.

Her parents were burned to death while protecting her, and the entire village was burned like that.

When she woke up, Doro was standing beside her and told her that the pirates in the village had been wiped out, and that the fire was caused by the pirates.

In an instant!

Iska looked at the raging fire around her, as if she understood something!

Staring intently at Doro, he said, "Are you deliberately starting a war here? Are you deliberately using civilians to capture pirates?! What happened to the justice you taught me about, Vice Admiral Doro?!"

Doro gave Iska a cold glare: "Shut up, Iska! Don't be a fool like your parents! When will you understand that our justice is to eliminate pirates! And to achieve justice, we'll sacrifice anything! Because... it's all because of pirates! Even if civilians die, it has nothing to do with us! It's all because of pirates! Even if we use civilians to kill pirates, it's a sacrifice they have to make!"

The words had barely left his mouth!

Suddenly, Dolo's flamethrower changed, and the flames it emitted turned purple in addition to the original red.

"!!"

Ace's expression froze, the flames around his body intensifying. He glanced at the two children and shouted, "Deuce! Take the children and run!"

"Doro, don't do what pirates do."

But just then...

A casual remark reached everyone's ears.

Then...

boom!

Upon seeing the figure that suddenly appeared, everyone slapped Doro.

Immediately afterwards...

Doro, who had just been so imposing, collapsed to the ground, his head sinking into the earth.
