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

Chapter 63 Keeping Promises

Eight o'clock in the morning, in the brigadier general's office.

"Loya took over two hundred new recruits and sailed away on the warship?"

Upon hearing his adjutant's report, Murak didn't even have the energy to be angry. Compared to his previous outrageous behavior, leaving the warship without permission was a minor matter.

Let that kid do whatever he wants, it's better if they all die out there!

Murak cursed inwardly, but soon a smile appeared on his face. In a few days, whether he liked it or not, that kid would have to leave Roggetown!

"Is the prosecutor from headquarters arriving soon?"

"According to the information from the communications officer, we should be able to reach Rogge Town before noon."

"Let's go greet them now!"

As a rising star captain in the East China Sea in the past two years, Loya has been taken seriously by headquarters, which has specially dispatched an inspector.

If the allegations made by the Rogge Town branch are true, the headquarters will handle the matter impartially. Transferring the branch is the most basic punishment, and the most likely outcome is that the branch will be sent back to the 153rd branch.

At 10:00 AM, the main warship docked.

After confirming each other's identities, the prosecutor from headquarters introduced himself with a smile: "Brigadier General Murak, I am Lieutenant Colonel Gordon from headquarters, and I am here to investigate Major Loya's violation of military discipline."

"Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Gordon!"

Murak shook hands warmly. Although the other party was only a lieutenant colonel, in the naval system, the position of a lieutenant colonel at headquarters was in no way lower than that of a brigadier general at the branch.

"Lieutenant Colonel Gordon has had a long journey. I have prepared a feast for him. Please relax and enjoy yourself."

"Respect is not as good as obedience."

Lieutenant Colonel Gordon did not refuse, and said in a low voice, "Brigadier General Murak doesn't need to be so polite. Colonel Gorilla and I are good friends."

"Big brother?"

Murak's eyes lit up.

That's settled!

Hahaha, little Loya, what do you have to fight me with!

On the other side, in Cocosia Village.

After waiting for almost half a month, Nami finally returned to the village.

"Sister Noki, oh?"

Back home, Nami saw two strange men and warily pulled out a stick, but she quickly recognized them.

"Are you the black-haired major's subordinates?"

"That's right."

Fenbdi and Zango nodded.

"Miss Nami, we've come to you on Major Loa's orders to discuss the defeat of the Arlong Pirates. We need your assistance!"

"."

Nami was stunned.

[I will wipe out the Arlong Pirates within one year!]

The promise made six months ago is still vivid in my mind.

She initially thought the major was just making excuses for her cowardice, but she never expected him to actually come.

And it was only six months apart.

Nami didn't lose her composure; instead, her expression turned cold: "Are you confident you can defeat the Arlong Pirates?"

"To be honest, no."

Finbdi shook his head.

Not long ago, a village was unable to pay its "offerings," and all the houses in the village were overturned.

They went to that village specifically to witness the terrifying power of the fish-men. Even they had difficulty overturning houses weighing several tons, let alone ordinary marines.

And there are nearly a hundred of these powerful merman warriors!

Major Loya had specifically instructed them to be honest with Nami, so neither of them intended to deceive the other.

"We went to Gosuna Village, and the fish-men's strength far exceeded our expectations. The Navy will inevitably pay a heavy price to defeat the Fish-Man Pirates!"

"Since you know how powerful the merfolk are, why do you still want to attack them?"

Nami couldn't understand.

As the only human "surveyor" in the Arlong Pirates, she actually knows better than anyone how powerful the Arlong Pirates are.

Even a mere officer could easily destroy a warship!

She had long since given up hope.

Not to mention, the Arlong Pirates are backed by the infamous Shichibukai "Jinbe," and even the Navy is unwilling to take action against the Arlong Pirates.

Raising 100 million Berries to redeem the village was her only remaining hope, even though deep down she knew that Arlong was likely deceiving her, she had no other choice.

"Because we trust the major!"

"The Major doesn't easily grant requests," Finbdi said in a deep voice, "but once he makes a promise, he will always keep it!"

"No matter the cost, even if we all perish, we will defeat the Arlong Pirates!"

"Furthermore, we firmly believe that the Major will definitely defeat Aaron!"

Only trust!

Nami remained silent for a long time before sharply questioning, "If your major ordered you to your deaths, would you do it without hesitation?"

"We don't want to die!"

Both of them shook their heads simultaneously, their eyes piercing.

"The major once said, sacrifice must have meaning!"

"If the major orders us to our deaths, if our deaths will bring victory, then we will not retreat a single step!"

"We are the Navy!"

"The justice we bear does not allow us to back down in the face of evil!"

Few are unafraid of death, but on the day they join the Navy, every Navy sailor will face death.

Nami pursed her lips.

The two men in front of me are genuine naval personnel who can be trusted.

"What should I do?"

"We need detailed information about the Arlong Pirates, as well as their usual area of ​​activity and modus operandi!"

The most formidable aspect of fish-men is not their strength, which is ten times that of humans, but their near-invincible combat ability in the ocean.

They had no chance of winning a naval battle.

The navy can only win if the battlefield is on land.

Several days later, Chacha Village, one of the 20 villages and towns ruled by the Arlong Pirates.

Every month, the Arlong Pirates would collect offerings, and if even one person in the village refused to pay, the entire village would be violently destroyed.

That's how Housha Village disappeared.

"The mermen are here!"

"It's the cadre, Chroobi!"

The time to pay the monthly offerings is the most terrifying time for the villagers. When the Arlong Pirates arrived, too many villagers who couldn't pay were killed.

Even after paying tribute and being spared the threat of death, the merfolk's brutality still terrified them.

With four underlings, Kroobi stood at the village entrance, an open bag in front of him. Without a word, the villagers lined up to offer their tribute.

Soon, all the villagers paid their money.

Croobi nodded slightly, picked up the money bag, and turned to leave. Unlike "Chiu," who was also a cadre, he did not have a penchant for torturing humans.

You'd be better off using that time to hone your Fishman Karate.

However, when they left the village, far from the coast, they were blocked by a sudden surge of the navy.

"navy?!"

A dense swarm of navy soldiers poured out from all directions, surrounding the group. Even with their formidable strength, they couldn't help but feel flustered in the face of so many navy soldiers.

"Big Brother Chroobi!"

"Calm down!"

Croobi's gaze was cold.

With so many navy troops lying in ambush outside the village, the villagers couldn't possibly be unaware of it. Once we get back, we'll definitely destroy this village!

Crooby stepped forward and calmly inquired, "Where did you come from in the navy? Captain Rat of the 16th Branch is a good friend of our Captain Arlong. Is there some misunderstanding here?"

"Colonel Rat, very good testimony."

Loya slowly drew his sword and gave the order in a cold voice.

"No need to hold back, wipe out all these murlocs!"

"yes!"
