A beautiful dream shattered upon waking is cruel to a young girl.
Fortunately, Mary Rose was mentally prepared yesterday, and after having a delicious breakfast, she returned to her energetic self.
Today's plan is to use the permanent pointer to record the island's magnetic field, continue exploring and adventuring, and collect and study the island's magical plants and animals.
Chapter 430: Akainu's Proposal
"You mean, former Admiral Zephyr has arrived off the coast of Alabasta and wants to join us?"
After spending two days at the Boeing Islands, waiting for the permanent pointer to store the magnetic force before setting sail again, Chen Yong'an, who was feeling bored, suddenly perked up when Weiwei called.
Although I learned from Tina some time ago that her teacher, former Marine Admiral "Black Arm" Zephyr, had deviated from the original timeline and left the Marines ahead of schedule, I didn't expect that instead of forming the "Newborn Marines" (NEO Marines) to hunt down and annihilate pirates as originally planned, she chose to join them.
This was both surprising and delightful.
After all, besides Zephyr's own abilities and the marines who followed him, there was also a group of outstanding scientists!
You should know that they can even manufacture weapons like the Pacifista!
This is true talent, exactly what Alabasta needs right now.
"Yes, according to the information, this Zephyr is the instructor of all the Navy, and even the current three admirals were taught by him. Such a person should be quite loyal to the Navy. He suddenly said that he wanted to join us. I suspect that there may be a trap."
"Hmm... that's a possibility, after all, he's served the Navy and the World Government for so many years... he shouldn't have landed yet, right?"
"No, it's still at sea."
"Let's talk about it when I get back. At my current speed, it should take about five more days to get back."
“Okay,” Vivi smiled, her eyes crinkling, “then we’ll talk about it when you get back.”
After chatting for a few more minutes, the two hung up the phone.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yong'an picked up the phone again and called Kong Que.
As soon as the call connected, Chen Yong'an got straight to the point: "Has the Navy made any moves against me recently?"
"You called just to ask this?" Peacock's tone was tinged with displeasure. "You really only think about yourself."
"There's no way around it, after all, I can't pin you down on the deck and unleash my fury on you through a Den Den Mushi."
"Yes, there's nothing we can do," Peacock said regretfully, "we'll just have to arrange it another time when we're free."
"So what about my question earlier?"
"Yes, the Navy is currently holding a meeting to discuss whether to give you the rank of admiral."
"General? Me?"
If Zephyr's attempt to defect to Alabasta was a pleasant surprise, then the position of general was utterly shocking.
"Well, what's even more surprising is that it was Akainu's suggestion that was agreed to by Sengoku."
"Akainu?" Chen Yong'an wondered if he had misheard.
Putting aside Chen Yong'an's current relationship with the World Government, the two of them alone do not get along.
Because of Hibari, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the two are mortal enemies!
A serious figure like Akainu, a mafia boss, had already reached the limit of his patience with Chen Yong'an. If Chen Yong'an hadn't possessed some strength, he would probably have been burned to ashes by Akainu's magma long ago!
Akainu recommending Chen Yong'an for the position of Marine Admiral is nothing short of a miracle!
“I was shocked too,” Peacock replied, “but that’s the truth according to what I’ve heard.”
“I asked my dad, and he said it’s true.”
Hearing Yun Que's affirmative voice, Chen Yong'an no longer doubted the authenticity of the news.
"What does he mean by recommending me for the position of Admiral? Even if it's his recommendation and Sengoku agrees, the World Government still needs to approve it, right?"
"It's said that this decision is intended to bypass the World Government," Peacock replied. "Recently, there's been a voice in the Navy saying, 'The Navy is not the watchdog of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.' Although we don't know where this voice came from, it's undoubtedly fatal to the World Government."
“My credibility is starting to waver,” Chen Yong’an said with a smile. “It seems that my statements in the World Economic Herald these past few days are starting to have a good effect.”
"Well, so under such circumstances, even if the World Government intervenes, it won't make much of a difference. Your reputation in the Navy is too high. Most marines are ordinary people from civilian backgrounds who are righteous. They can actually tell who is good and who is bad."
"Is there any other interesting news?" Chen Yong'an asked.
"Yes, the day after tomorrow, Akainu and Aokiji will fight in the New World's Punk Hazard to decide who will become the Fleet Admiral."
"The day after tomorrow... when the results come out, remember to tell me that Alabasta has taken in the Heartbreak General."
"Hehehe, then you're probably the biggest winner."
"nature."
After chatting with Peacock and Lark for a while, he hung up the phone and then continued his usual casual conversation with Morgans.
Today we're talking about the story of Huang Chao.
We must continue to sow the seeds of resistance in the hearts of people all over the world.
After chatting with Morgans, Chen Yong'an, having nothing else to do, went to the deck to get some fresh air. Mona was now using water elemental creatures to tow the ship at high speed across the sea.
Looking around, I saw Nojiko tending to the plants on the top deck of the stern tower, so I went over to her.
Chen Yong'an glanced at Nokigo, whose shorts were stretched taut as he squatted down, revealing his large buttocks, and asked, "What are you doing?"
“I’m trying to cultivate those magical plants I got from the Boin Islands,” Nokigo explained. “Don’t let my appearance fool you, I’m actually quite good at taking care of plants!”
“I know, Nami told me that you used to grow oranges in Cocoyasi Village.”
"Of course, those orange trees were left by our mother. We even took them with us when we went out to sea. They are our sisters' treasures."
"Why didn't I see it when we were in Kuja?"
“I moved them to Alabasta, where the solid, stable soil is more suitable for their growth than the hurricanes and waves they would encounter at sea.”
"That's good too. Alabasta's climate is very suitable for fruit growth."
"Yes, I think so too. If it comes to fruition, it will definitely be sweeter than ever before."
"Ah."
Chen Yong'an watched as Nokiko turned over the soil with a gardening shovel for a while, and said, "The plants of the Boeing Islands are quite aggressive, more than enough to deal with ordinary pirates. Have you ever thought about making them into weapons?"
"arms?"
"It involves using a slingshot or crossbow to shoot their seeds, and then taking advantage of their rapid growth to attack the enemy, catching them off guard."
"Then why don't I just practice with a slingshot and crossbow?" Nojiko wondered. "Like the Kuja warriors, as long as they have Armament Haki, they can greatly increase the destructive power of their arrows, right?"
“It’s different. Using plants will look cooler and more unique… Come on, I’ll take you to Ada Wong and ask her to help you get a crossbow for self-defense.”
Without waiting for Nojiko's consent, Chen Yong'an grabbed her and dragged her to find Ada Wong, who was quite knowledgeable about weapons.
Chapter 431: Back to Alabasta
"Dragon Flame Dance!"
Blue and white flames swirled and soared into the sky, like an enraged sea dragon, swallowing up the pirate crew that had offended its territory.
When the flames subsided, only a few remnants remained on the sea surface, drifting in the wind.
The high temperatures, which can easily melt even steel, are enough to melt most materials of this era.
After swiftly dealing with the pirate ship that recklessly sailed towards the Lexington for the sake of fame, Mai Shiranui once again transformed into a magnificent blue fire phoenix, soaring through the air and leaving a trail of dreamlike tail flames as she returned to the Lexington.
"Well done! Yay!"
Tifa came up to her and high-fived Mai Shiranui in celebration.
Mai Shiranui smiled modestly, "They're just a small pirate crew that anyone could handle, nothing to brag about~"
Auxiliary Machine: "According to intelligence, this group of pirates has recently been plundering villages and towns and robbing merchant ships in order to increase their bounty, resulting in the deaths of 156,000 ordinary people, including 78 marines, one colonel."
"My target is a general-level powerhouse," Mai Shiranui said, one hand on her hip, tapping the metal casing of her amphibious assault machine with her fan. "What's the difference between a mere colonel and an ordinary person?"
Since arriving in this world, Mai Shiranui has been in contact with powerful figures such as the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Admirals, and Fleet Admirals. Even the Sun God, whom the World Government fears, often rides on her body.
In addition to her own abilities, her horizons will inevitably broaden.
Simply put, they got carried away.
“You’re still a long way from being an Admiral,” Chen Yong’an said, dampening Mai Shiranui’s arrogance. “Let’s talk about Admirals when your Armament Haki is stronger than Tifa’s.”
“Of course I know,” Mai Shiranui playfully stuck out her tongue. “I haven’t slacked off in my training even for a single day! I spar with you every day, okay? On the contrary, you…”
"Don't talk nonsense about your captain," Chen Yong'an flicked Mai Shiranui on the forehead, "Didn't Mona teach you this rule?"
"Hmph," Mai Shiranui covered her forehead, deciding to ignore this hypocrite for the time being.
After dealing with the pirate crew, Chen Yong'an, as usual, contacted a nearby naval base via a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) to claim the bounty. Even though it wasn't even 100 million Berries, every little bit helps.
As this little episode in the voyage came to an end, the people gathered on the deck dispersed and went about their own business.
Chen Yong'an is also one of them.
He plans to write some short stories to be serialized in the World Economic Herald.
Some stories with a rebellious message.
If there are ten suns in the sky and it's too hot, then shoot down nine of them; if there are two mountains blocking the way and making it inconvenient to pass through, then move them away; if the sky collapses, floods pour down, rivers shift and dikes break, then control the floods and mend the sky.
Fight against Heaven, fight against Earth, fight against the gods.
It's not that I'm afraid of losing, it's that I'm afraid of not having the courage to fight.
No matter how much is said in the newspapers, it will only last for a short time.
We must plan for the future and pass on the spirit through stories.
Anyway, I'm just idling around.
“Your story is ridiculous,” 2B said. “How could a person shoot down the sun with a bow and arrow?”
"What is beyond human capability is what makes a myth. The key is not how to shoot down the sun, but that he shot down the sun for survival... To do this as an ordinary person and succeed is what makes it amazing."
"He doesn't even have a Devil Fruit ability, and he doesn't know Haki either. This is not scientific."
"Don't worry about it so much," Chen Yong'an put down his pen and roughly rubbed 2B's head. "This is about spirit, understand?"
“Oh,” 2B, whose hair was a mess, had no choice but to agree and stop talking, quietly watching Chen Yong’an write down the myths and legends of his hometown.
After writing two short stories, Chen Yong'an's attention began to wander. He would play with the ornaments on the table, flip through a navigator's logbook, or simply knead 2B's plump, smooth legs.
"Not writing anymore?" 2B couldn't help but ask.
“I’m not writing anymore,” Chen Yong’an said, grabbing 2B’s tight-fitting denim shorts that barely covered her buttocks and pulling them up, sinking them into her breasts. “It’s all your fault, sitting here so scantily dressed and tempting me.”
2B pursed her sexy lips; she knew Chen Yong'an was just making excuses to slack off.
"Shall we take a break and continue writing later?"
"Of course, a balance between work and rest is essential to improving an individual's productivity and quality of life."
Upon hearing Chen Yong'an say this, 2B sat down on Chen Yong'an's body, burying Chen Yong'an's head in his massive chest, and shaking his thick, millstone-like buttocks.
The sounds of flesh colliding and pleasurable gasps slowly filled the room.
After Chen Yong'an finished resting and relaxing, it was lunchtime.
After lunch, it's time for a midday rest.
After lunch break, as if forgetting about writing, I took my fishing rod and sat on the railing with Mary Rose to fish.
Preparing for tonight's dinner.
Tonight we're having a whole fish feast; the fish has to be fresh to taste good.
2B hesitated, but ultimately said nothing.
After all, 2B knew that Chen Yong'an was that kind of person; once he lost his sense of urgency, he would gradually become complacent.
That's good, so as not to put too much pressure on myself.
Chen Yong'an and Mary Rose fished all afternoon and had a good catch, enough to feed them for several meals on the boat.
After a hearty dinner, the ordinary day has passed just like that.
After sailing for another four days, the weather gradually became hot on the fifth day, and in the afternoon, the outline of the Sun Peninsula finally came into view.
After more than a week of full-speed sailing, we finally arrived in Alabasta.
Instead of docking directly, they had Lexington maneuver the ship high into the air, flying over land and heading directly to the imperial capital, Arubana.
Now that the canal has been opened in Arubana, the inland capital is connected to the sea, greatly improving its transportation capacity.
