Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 365 The Straw Hat crew is too despicable; they're actually doing good deeds!!

Near the sea area of ​​the Drum Kingdom.

Colonel Smoker's warship has arrived here.

The Fleet Admiral seemed very concerned about the escort of Bucky the Clown, calling from time to time to inquire about their journey, and even arranging for Admiral Aokiji to assist them in advance, which shows how much importance he attached to this escort.

"Bucky the Clown seems quite important."

Tashigi frowned, looking worriedly at Smoker on the hospital bed as she hung up the Den Den Mushi: "Colonel Smoker, do we really not need to send Bucky the Joker to Impel Down first?"

"The Straw Hat Boy is even more dangerous than him..."

Smoker lay on the hospital bed, a cigar still stubbornly dangling from his lips, exhaling a thick cloud of smoke: "That guy has the same will as Gol D. Roger..."

"but…"

Smoker's brow furrowed as he said this: "Perhaps sending Buggy back first would be an option. We could circle back from Marineford and intercept him along the Straw Hat Pirates' route..."

Just as Smoker was about to give up, a sergeant rushed over to report: "Captain Smoker, we've spotted Drum Island! The Straw Hat Pirates are on this route too, and their ship is docked at Drum Island's port!"

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, Smoker's eyes immediately lit up, and despite his weak body, he tried to get up to check on the situation!

And they even said they'd send Bucky the Clown back!

The Straw Hat Pirates are right in front of me. Even if I have to fight today while I'm injured, I must arrest them and settle this troublesome matter here!

but…

The warships arrived a little late.

The Straw Hat Pirates are planning to leave.

The weather on the Grand Line is extremely harsh; if you are slow, you may be slow in every step. If you are lucky, you may be able to catch up quickly.

The Straw Hat Pirates traveled along the Grand Line, passing Twin Capes, Whiskey Peak, and the ancient island of Little Garden, causing quite a bit of trouble along the way. In order to help Princess Vivi of Alabasta protect her country, they directly provoked Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

certainly…

Even if they don't provoke...

Crocodile wouldn't take the Straw Hat Pirates seriously either, and sent his Baroque Works to wipe out this small pirate crew that had just entered the Grand Line.

result…

Surprisingly, the Straw Hat Pirates were small, and the area was a bit rough to the touch.

The Straw Hat Pirates' captain is also quite stubborn.

This Straw Hat Pirates, newly arrived on the Grand Line, ran right into one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and even considered heading straight for Crocodile's stronghold in Alabasta to take him down...

However, their navigator Nami fell ill in the Ancient Island of Little Garden and had to rush to Drum Kingdom for treatment, where she also found a ship's doctor.

On Drum Island.

Snowflakes were falling gently on this icy island.

Amidst the enthusiastic welcome from the Straw Hat crew on the deck, Chopper, a little reindeer walking upright, braved the snowflakes, leaving tiny footprints, wiped away his snot and tears, and, carrying his own bag, bid farewell to Dr. Kureha, the old lady who had cared for him on Drum Island, before boarding the Straw Hat crew's pirate ship to become the ship's doctor for this small pirate crew.

Unfortunately…

Before this little reindeer could experience the joy and freedom of becoming a pirate, it first experienced the danger of being hunted by the Navy. A cannonball landed right next to the pirate ship!

"The navy is here!"

Usopp quickly and loudly reminded everyone on the ship!

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"

The little reindeer was so frightened that it ran around wildly on the boat!

"Why are the Marines here the moment I become a pirate?!"

I just joined a ship and became a pirate, how come I'm being hunted down by the Navy!

"Chopper, calm down!"

Zoro quickly grabbed the reindeer by the scruff of its neck, ignoring the little reindeer kicking him wildly, and rubbed its head: "Don't worry, let's get out of here first."

"That person looks like..."

Luffy watched as Marine Captain Smoker shakily walked out of the cabin, scratched his head, and pondered the name of that Marine Captain.

Luffy's face immediately fell, and he shouted to Nami, who had just recovered, "Hey, Nami, let's set sail! It's that smoke guy from Loguetown, we can't hit him at all!"

Luffy is powerless against Logia-type abilities; at least for now, he hasn't figured out how to deal with Smoker's smoke ability!

"I know! I know! It's so noisy!"

Nami angrily stopped the noisy Luffy, her teeth clenched as she reminded him, "Don't worry, the weather on the Grand Line is terrible, and we can only rely on the Log Pose to guide our way. This Marine group has just arrived at Drum Island and needs to use the Log Pose to collect magnetism. They must replenish the Log Pose's magnetism on Drum Island..."

Nami was quite clear-headed.

While the group was in a panic, she was still able to calmly and steadily call on everyone to set sail. She was confident that she could shake off this group of marines!

"Straw Hat Boy, don't even think about escaping!"

Smoker tried to fly directly towards the Straw Hat crew, but he was exhausted after turning into smoke and almost fell onto the deck!

"That naval captain seems to be sick too!"

Usopp saw Smoker, who was unable to move, and a look of relief flashed across his face: "We should be alright!"

Are there any patients?

The baby reindeer immediately poked its head in.

"Alright, don't worry about the patient."

Zoro glanced at the furry reindeer beside his legs and said softly, "There's a doctor on this island who can save him..."

As he said this, Zoro glanced at Tashigi standing in front of Smoker. He had fought the stubborn female Marine before, and grinned, saying, "Looks like we'll have one less big problem this time..."

"So close..."

Seeing that the Marines on the ship seemed truly helpless against them, Usopp finally relaxed, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead: "We almost got caught..."

"These guys!"

Smoker slammed his fist on the ship's side in a fit of rage, furious at himself for not being prepared. He shouted his orders: "Chase after them! Shoot their ship down!"

It's clearly too late for this.

Because the Straw Hat crew simply unfurled their sails and slipped away.

Tashigi hurriedly stopped Smoker, reminding her superior, "Colonel Smoker, we still need to use the Log Pose to collect the magnetism for the next stop on Drum Island. Perhaps we should stop here to heal our injuries. If we rush after them, we might not be able to find our way back..."

"Smoke Man, see you later!"

Luffy stood at the stern of the Going Merry and even waved goodbye to Smoker in a friendly manner, which made Smoker even angrier!

"That bastard..."

Smoker, cigar in mouth, wished he could devour Luffy alive. Nothing could make him angrier than watching a pirate slip away right in front of him!

but…

The Straw Hat Pirates' next stop should be Alabasta.

Smoker gritted his teeth, ordered the naval warships to anchor in the harbor, and boarded the Drum Kingdom, intending to find a doctor there who could help with the treatment.

Unfortunately…

Kureha, the best doctor in the Drum Kingdom, has a very bad temper.

Chopper, the Straw Hat Pirates' ship doctor and a reindeer, is essentially the child she raised. He almost got caught by the Marines as soon as he boarded the pirate ship!

Dr. Kureha may not say she cares about these things, but she is determined not to treat Smoker; she has always been like this.

Treating patients and such...

It all depends on her own mood.

When you're in a bad mood, you don't care about anyone.

A navy officer, watching the old woman in the castle refuse them entry, blurted out a terrible idea: "This doctor is definitely in cahoots with those pirates..."

"Shut up!"

Smoker glared at the navy man with displeasure.

If everyone who has any connection with pirates is defined this way, then innocent people all over the world might as well just become pirates themselves…

Pirates appeared in a country, and the Navy was unable to arrive in time to protect the people. After the pirates left, the surviving people were then labeled as colluding with the pirates by the Navy. This behavior was even more hateful than that of the pirates themselves. Smoker wished he could curse that subordinate to death immediately!

While the group of marines were trying to figure out what to do, Akihara Kagura, along with Karin, was inquiring about the situation in the town of Drum Kingdom and found out what had happened there.

Obviously.

Things seem a bit magical.

Because a very interesting pirate crew has appeared in the Drum Kingdom.

The Blackbeard Pirates.

Many years ago, King Wapol of the Drum Kingdom left only a group of doctors who obeyed him, and drove the rest of the doctors out of the Drum Kingdom.

From then on, Wapol used his doctors to exploit and oppress the people, and he forbade doctors to treat any people he disliked.

As a result, a terrifying pirate crew called Blackbeard invaded the Drum Kingdom some time ago. Wapol and his trusted subordinates were no match for them and fled in fear. The Drum Kingdom elected Dalton, the captain of the guard team and a user of the Ox-Ox Fruit, to protect the country.

However, after the Blackbeard Pirates left, Wapol sneaked back to Drum Kingdom, wanting to continue being king and exploiting and harming his people. Naturally, the Straw Hat crew couldn't stand this, so Luffy decisively drove Wapol away, helping Drum Kingdom get back on track.

"The Straw Hat Pirates are not evil pirates."

Captain Dalton of the guards was very frank, telling the navy personnel in front of him everything: "They don't loot and pillage like other pirates..."

"I know."

"But they are more dangerous than any pirate."

Kagura Akihara shook his head, speaking from the Navy's perspective: "Other pirates talk about becoming the Pirate King, but Straw Hat Luffy is different. This guy really seems like he might find One Piece and become the new Pirate King..."

"So, the Navy officer thinks so too...?"

Dalton's eyes lit up, as if he had heard something that made him extremely happy: "Mr. Luffy will become the new Pirate King?"

"never mind."

"I'm not going to discuss this with you anymore."

Kagura Akihara waved her hand and spoke up, "Go and persuade Dr. Kureha to help save Colonel Smoker. Straw Hat Luffy isn't exactly a heinous pirate, but Colonel Smoker isn't a bad person either..."

"Yes, I'll be right there."

Dalton quickly went to persuade Dr. Kureha.

In the entire Drum Kingdom, perhaps only Dalton, a man devoted to his country, could persuade Dr. Kureha; at least Smoker was finally carried into Dr. Kureha's castle.

"Thank you very much, Lieutenant Kagura!"

Tashigi glanced gratefully at Akihara Kagura and Karin.

"Let's go take care of Colonel Smoker first."

Akihara Kagura acted very magnanimously, as if she had only done something insignificant: "I just know the Straw Hat crew quite well, and I roughly know what kind of stories they leave behind in the countryside, but don't think they aren't dangerous people..."

"what?"

Tashigi didn't quite understand what Akihara Kagura meant.

but…

The Straw Hat crew doesn't sound like bad people at all, does they?

Why do people say the Straw Hat crew are dangerous?

"The Straw Hat crew's actions are undermining the world government's ruling order..."

Kagura Akihara shook her head and sighed softly, "A group of pirates are driving out an evil king. The World Government and the Navy are doing things that ordinary people don't do, but these pirates are doing it for the citizens of these countries. It makes the World Government and the Navy look like a bunch of bad guys who are just standing by and doing nothing. That's what's dangerous about them..."

"..."

Tashigi sensed that something was amiss.

This…

Is there a problem with this?

In fact, aren't the World Government and the Navy the bad guys who just stand by and do nothing?

"I…"

Tashigi's eyes were somewhat confused. She felt that her thoughts were a little frightening, so she quickly ran into the castle to take care of Smoker. She only wanted to collect the world's famous swords and did not want to continue to get caught up in such complicated thoughts.

After Tashigi left, Akihara Kagura and Karin remained standing there, quietly gazing at the peaceful snow island and the pristine white world.

"Ara la la..."

"This is truly a dangerous statement unlike anything we've ever heard before..."

A voice appeared in Akihara Kagura and Karin's ears.

A tall figure slowly emerged from the snowfield, looking down at Akihara Kagura in front of him, seemingly feeling a great headache.

This guy…

Isn't that a bit too extreme?

Or is this rhetoric deliberately used to satirize the world government?

However, Aokiji couldn't quite tell whether the other party was excessively pro-World Government or using this opportunity to vent their dissatisfaction with the World Government...

"Forget it, let's not talk about such dangerous topics..."

Aokiji looked at Akihara Kagura in front of him and casually asked, "When I went to Loguetown to pursue the enemy, who filled in the gaps and helped capture Buggy the Clown?"

"..."

Akihara Kagura frowned.

Akihara Kagura seemed to think for a moment, then raised her head to look at Aokiji, giving him a knowing smile, as if they were making a rendezvous, everything contained in that smile.

"The one who caught Bucky the Clown?"

"it's me."

Phew... Goodnight
