Pirate King: I'm determined to be the King of Sons-in-Law!

Chapter 110 Stop Pointing Fingers at Me

East Sea, Frostmoon Village.

Frost Moon Dojo.

"ha!"

A group of children were practicing swordsmanship with wooden swords, while the dojo master, Shimotsuki Koshiro, stood by and corrected his disciples' postures from time to time.

The children went home for lunch one after another after the class ended at noon.

Loya arrived with several of his men.

"Sorry to bother you."

"Who are you?"

Shimotsuki Koshiro looked at Loya with a slight puzzlement.

Loya took out the Rain Cutter and explained his purpose with a smile: "My name is Loya, I am a colonel of the Loguetown Naval Branch, and I have come here specifically to visit Mr. Shimotsuki Kosaburo."

"This knife."

Koushirou looked at the familiar Ame-giri and quickly understood.

This knife was the last work of his father, Kozaburo. It was commissioned by Mr. Sirob and forged by his father, who also contributed a lot to the forging.

Koushirou's eyes dimmed slightly as he shook his head and said gently, "I'm sorry, my father has passed away."

"."

Loya's smile faded.

"Is it because of this knife?"

I guess so.

Koushirou smiled nonchalantly: "This sword was my father's last work. He was old and his energy was limited. He passed away peacefully not long after he finished forging this sword."

I'm sorry.

Loya felt somewhat apologetic.

No need to apologize.

Koushirou had already come to terms with it: "Father left with a smile. He must have been very pleased to be able to forge such a famous sword at the end of his life. The best way to repay my father is for you to use it well."

"Yes, I will."

Loya nodded solemnly.

Without Mr. Sirob's involvement, it's unlikely that Kousaburo would have forged a sword for him, much less died from exhaustion.

Famous swords are hard to come by.

"By the way, Zoro."

Loya turned around, his gaze momentarily fixed on something.

"Where's Zoro?"

"."

Fenbdi and Zango were stunned for a moment, then quickly looked around and found no one around them. Large beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

They were just following behind!

Holy crap, that kid got lost on his way home?

Upon hearing Zoro's name, Koushirou was both surprised and delighted: "Zoro came back with you?"

"Yes."

Loya briefly explained the situation.

"Haha~ Zoro still hasn't gotten rid of his habit of getting lost."

Koushirou smiled with relief: "Don't worry about him. I can roughly guess where he is. Come into the dojo and have a cup of tea. Zoro will be back tonight."

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

The back mountain outside the dojo, on the hillside.

An old tombstone is stuck on a slightly desolate mound, the inscriptions of which are blurred, but the names can still be vaguely made out.

【The Tomb of Kuina】.

A new fruit platter and two white wine glasses were placed in front of the tombstone, with a Wado Ichimonji placed next to the glass closest to the tombstone.

"Splash!"

The wine glass is filled with sake.

"I've come to see you, Kuina."

Zoro sat alone in front of the tombstone, drank his own sake, and then poured Kuina's sake onto the ground.

He may not be able to find Frostmoon Village, he may not be able to find his home, but the road that led him here is firmly etched in his soul.

"Kuina, after I set sail, I encountered a very powerful navy officer."

Zoro slowly recounted all his experiences after setting sail, leaving nothing out, as well as his process and insights into becoming stronger.

There was light in the boy's eyes.

"Next, I'm going to the Grand Line. I've heard there are many monster swordsmen there, so I might not be back for a long time."

"But I promise you, the next time I come to see you, I will be bearing the title of the world's greatest swordsman!"

"Then, let's continue our 2002nd duel!"

Night falls.

Zoro returned to the dojo.

"Master, I'm back."

"Yes, welcome home."

There was no excessive small talk, just like before.

The next day, Zoro bid farewell to Koushirou and resolutely followed Loya, heading to a wider stage to pursue the title of "World's Greatest Swordsman".

"Sail!"

The warships sailed into the sea.

Loya stood on the edge of the deck, looking towards Frostmoon Village, as well as the directions of Shells Town and Sirob Village.

All those who needed to be said goodbye have said goodbye.

Next, we'll head to the New World and won't be returning to the East China Sea for a while, as transportation in this world isn't as convenient.

"Branch G-1"

Loya sighed in frustration.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

He wanted to go to the G-5 branch, but the approval had already been issued, and it was basically impossible to change it.

On the bright side, the G-1 branch is also in the New World, not far from the G-5 branch, so it's somewhat acceptable.

"No, we can't just sit here and wait to die!"

The military strength of the G-1 branch is second only to the Navy Headquarters. To put it simply, there are commodores as many as dogs and major generals everywhere.

He never gets to claim credit!

To make a name for yourself in such a strictly regulated place, you can't just follow the rules; you need at least some reliable support.

Under normal circumstances, he can take a few directly subordinate officers with him when he takes office, at most no more than 10 people, and he cannot bring all the branch officers with him, as that would make it difficult for the branch to operate.

Smoker

Among the Marines in the Loguetown branch, Smoker is definitely the best, but that guy is of the same rank as him, so he can't take him with him.

Moreover, after he leaves, Smoker will undoubtedly become the new base chief of Loguetown, and headquarters will not allow Smoker to leave with him.

Other school officers.

One week later, at the Rogue Town base.

The news that Loya had been transferred to the G-1 branch caused quite a stir, even surprising Finbuddy and Zango.

They thought they were going to G-5!

What a surprise! A real surprise!

Compared to the G-5 branch, the G-1 branch is the face of the Navy, with a status equivalent to the headquarters. Who wouldn't want to climb to the top?

Inside the branch meeting room, all of the dozen or so officers were present, each looking at Loya with eager anticipation, hoping to be included.

"Captain Fombadi, Captain Zango!"

"arrive!"

"Major Lu Yun!"

"arrive!"

"The three of you will come with me to Branch G-1!"

"yes!"

Once the quotas were finalized, many officers looked disappointed, but they also knew that the chances of getting such an opportunity were very slim.

Smoker's face was gloomy, and he was in a terrible mood. He hadn't even gotten his revenge yet, and Loya had already run away.

This won't do!

Loya looked at Smoker.

"Smoker, I'm leaving the Loguetown branch in your hands. Besides the three of them, I also plan to take some new recruits with me."

"snort!"

Smoker snorted coldly.

"That's settled then!"

After leaving the conference room with the three men, Loya immediately said to Finbudi, "Finbudi, go find Bartolomeo and the others. I'm taking them to the G-1 branch!"

"them?"

Finbuddy was a little confused.

"Colonel, which ones exactly are you referring to?"

"all!"

Loya sneered.

As marines, Bartolomeo and his crew were absolutely incompetent, but as troublemakers, they were all experts.

He didn't care whether the G-1 branch accepted him or not.

If you're so capable, then drive him away too. He can then lead this bunch of bastards on a guerrilla war; they're not going to starve to death!

Three days later, the warships set sail!

Smoker watched the warship disappear, his anger blazing, and gave orders to his subordinates behind him.

"Prepare the warships immediately!"

"Colonel Smoker, where are you going?"

The marines were a little confused, as there were no missions requiring them to go to sea recently!

Smoker's eyes gleamed with a fierce intensity, as if possessed by a demon: "Where else can we go? Of course, we're catching up with that bastard and heading to G-1 branch!"

"But Colonel Smoker, this town is now under your jurisdiction. If you leave, how are we supposed to explain it to our superiors?"

The marines almost burst into tears. Did they have to be so willful?

"Just tell them!"

Smoker coldly extended his middle finger.

"Stop telling me what to do!"

"."

"Quickly, prepare the warships to set sail!"

The marines sprang into action, none daring to disobey Smoker's orders, and they had no say in what would happen next!

"Colonel Smoker!"

Tashigi rushed up to Smoker, panting and bowing deeply, pleading, "Please take me with you! I want to become stronger!"

"Then let's get on the boat!"

Smoker's face was contorted with rage. He hadn't come to Loguetown from headquarters to become some lousy base commander!

"Black Hair" Loya is his rival!
