What does this Den Den Mushi in front of us represent?

Amidst a series of crisp "Pulu-Pulu" sounds, Al tried to dial the Den Den Mushi.

"Moshi Moshi, is that Al?" A man's voice came from the other end of the phone, and the appearance of the Den Den Mushi changed into an image wearing a sunshade.

"Yes, sir! I'm Marine Al."

"Very good, Al, I am Kuzan." Al couldn't help but be surprised to hear this.

Why does it take the admiral of the navy to make a personal call just to capture two pirates with a bounty of about 20 million?

"You may be surprised, but the higher-ups have decided to cover up the news of the navy's collusion with pirates, so you were expelled from the navy for assaulting your superior." Qingzhi's voice came clearly through the Den Den Mushi.

"What?" Al blurted out in shock, as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, and he froze in place.

"This is a decision from above, and I have no other choice. So, I will compensate you for your reward in other ways."

"I've been kicked out of the navy. Where else can I go? Do you want me to be a pirate?" Al asked in disbelief, his heart full of confusion and puzzlement.

"How smart, Al. It seems that it is indeed the right decision to let you join the SWORD force." There was a hint of affirmation in Qingzhi's words.

The SWORD force, this name is not unfamiliar to El. It has the right to act freely and is not subject to the regular orders of the navy. This seems to be a completely new direction for El now.

"But General Qingzhi, I just want to live a peaceful life and be an ordinary colonel in the East China Sea. Is this impossible?" Al asked helplessly, with a hint of regret in his eyes.

"Because your devil fruit ability is of a mythical beast type that is rarer than the natural type, if you stay in the East China Sea, I'm afraid that sooner or later you will attract monsters from the New World to the East China Sea. At that time, your situation will become very dangerous." Qing Zhi explained.

"Then I have no choice but to become a pirate?" Al smiled bitterly.

"Yes, although the navy can no longer provide you with shelter, if you encounter any trouble, you can contact me privately and I will help you solve some difficult problems."

Chapter 7 Return to Xiluobu Village (Please recommend and collect)

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Al fell into deep thought, and the road ahead seemed to become blurry.

If you want to be a pirate, it is a very easy thing.

If nothing else, the future Pirate King is in town right now.

He still has the confidence that as long as he expresses his willingness to join, he will definitely be accepted.

However, when he thought about it carefully, he found that was not the life he was really pursuing.

The exciting adventure stories were no longer what he longed for.

The original plan to look for Kaya after getting the colonel position has now come to nothing.

Al returned to the team with mixed feelings, only to find Vice Admiral Garp standing outside a small restaurant called 'foodfoo'.

"Everyone, I have something else to do. You don't have to wait for me. I will go directly to the base later."

After saying this, Vice Admiral Garp rolled up his sleeves and walked into the restaurant with an aura of majesty without even being angry.

A moment later, a scream was heard from inside the restaurant, sparking the curiosity of the people waiting outside.

Al followed Lieutenant Colonel Ripa into the restaurant to check the situation, and saw the straw hat boy he met at the dock just now sitting on the ground with a huge bump on his forehead.

Garp was furious, pointing at Luffy and yelling, "Didn't I tell you to be a marine? You actually ran out to be a pirate!"

"Grandpa, why are you here?" Luffy asked innocently, covering his head.

"If I hadn't happened to pass by here, you would have succeeded. Come back with me!" Vice Admiral Karp said sternly.

"I'm not going back. I want to be the Pirate King. Grandpa, please let me go!" Luffy struggled, trying to break free from Vice Admiral Garp's control.

After returning to the naval base, after Vice Admiral Garp had finished teaching Luffy a lesson, Al took the opportunity to step forward and ask him about practicing Haki.

"I didn't expect you to enter the realm of Haki so soon." Vice Admiral Garp said, sighed, and glanced at his disobedient grandson.

Then, Vice Admiral Garp shook his hands slightly, and armed color domineering emerged from his palms.

He gently placed his hands on Luffy and El's shoulders, and his domineering power surrounded them both.

"Armament Haki is a kind of energy born from your body. It is like an invisible armor that can protect you from harm and can also be used to attack the enemy. You should carefully feel the existence of this aura. I believe that soon, you will be able to truly master it."

Vice Admiral Garp's words echoed in the ears of the two men like a loud bell.

"Grandpa, why didn't you teach me Armament Haki before?" Luffy asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Didn't I plan to teach you after you joined the Navy? I didn't expect you to run away." Vice Admiral Garp explained angrily.

Under the guidance of Vice Admiral Garp, Al gradually began to realize the existence of domineering.

After completing his reflection, Al once again expressed his gratitude to Vice Admiral Garp.

"Vice Admiral Garp, in fact, your restriction on Luffy becoming a marine may not be very effective. Even if he joins the marines, he will eventually leave due to differences in philosophy."

Then, he looked around and confirmed that there was no one around, then lowered his voice and continued, "Admiral Aoki has assigned me a new mission. If you think it's okay, you can let Luffy join my pirate group, so that I can help keep an eye on him. Most importantly, I'll have an official identity to ensure his safety."

When Vice Admiral Garp heard this, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he was obviously shaken.

Luffy on the side got anxious and quickly interrupted: "No! I want to be the Pirate King, I want to be the captain, how can I join someone else's pirate group!"

Faced with Luffy's firm opposition, Al shook his head helplessly and spread his hands: "Then I can't do anything."

After leaving the naval base, Al transformed into a dragon and began to fly towards Xiluobu Village.

Although Hyakuke Kuro has been successfully captured, the remnants of the Black Cat Pirates have not yet been completely eliminated.

This point in time was almost the time when Zangao was going to meet Clo as per the three-year agreement.

Since we have decided to embark on the journey to the sea, we can use the bounty of the Black Cat Pirates as the starting capital.

At this time, he had a clear plan in his mind. What he wanted to form was an unprecedented group of beautiful pirates.

Compared to living with a group of men all day, it is obviously more comfortable to travel with beautiful female crew members.

"System, I want to create a task," Al said silently in his heart.

[Mission Editor is open]

[Task name: Create a pirate group]

【Task type: Social】

[Mission Objective: Obtain a pirate ship and recruit the first batch of official crew members]

[Quest Reward: Ship Spirit that strengthens the ship through sailing]

Arriving at Kaya's luxurious mansion again, after being informed, housekeeper Meili came to greet them happily.

"Welcome back, Mr. Al. The lady has always wanted to express her gratitude to you in person." Housekeeper Mary's words were full of enthusiasm.

After some greetings, Al was led to the reception room, and soon, Kaya, who had received the news, arrived here.

"Mr. Al, you left in a hurry last time and I didn't have the chance to thank you properly." Ke Ya's voice was gentle and sincere.

El smiled and responded: "I am already satisfied to see that Miss Kaya has recovered."

During the conversation, Kaya brought up the topic of Cloro: "I wonder what happened to Butler Crabateur?"

Al's expression turned serious. "Part of the reason I came here today was to tell you about him. We learned that he and the new captain of the Black Cat Pirates agreed to meet in the next few days to attack Xiluobu Village and seize your property. In addition, he also confessed to killing your parents a year ago."

"What? He actually did it?" Tears welled up in Ke Ya's eyes and her voice trembled.

"Housekeeper Meili, please help inform the villagers. If you see a stranger entering the village, please report it. This is likely to be a member of the Black Cat Pirates who is here to make a contact."

"Okay, Mr. Al." Housekeeper Mary nodded in agreement.

After Kaya calmed down a little, she said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Al, I made you laugh. Apart from the matter of Cloe, is there anything else?"

El said solemnly: "In addition to this matter, I also came to say goodbye to Miss Kaya. I have received a new mission to form an adventure group to go to the Grand Line. I may not be able to return to Xiluobu Village to visit you for a long time in the future."

"So that's how it is." Ke Ya's tone sounded a little lost, and in the following time, her expression was always a little lonely.

That night, Al settled down in Kaya's guest room.

In a room not far away, Ke Ya said to Housekeeper Mei Li: "Housekeeper Mei Li, arrange for someone to pack up the boat you designed tomorrow. I want to give it to Mr. Al."

"Okay miss, I'll arrange this myself."

After the butler left, Ke Ya lay quietly on the bed in front of the window, thinking of the adventure stories she had read in books.

Chapter 8: Destroy the Black Cat Pirates (Please recommend and collect)

The next morning, Al was taken to the beach by housekeeper Mary to see the fast sailing ship that was parked there.

"Mr. Al, the name of this ship is Go Forward Merry. Although its style is a bit old, the entire ship was designed by me personally."

"This is a very nice ship. I can see that you, Housekeeper Meili, must have put a lot of effort into designing it."

"Haha, Mr. Al, thank you for the compliment. I hope you will be satisfied with this ship."

"Are you going to give it to me? That's great. I was originally planning to intercept the Black Cat Pirates' big ship, but since there is such a good ship as the Advance-Merry, I won't hesitate. Butler Merry, I will definitely make your ship famous in the Grand Line."

Housekeeper Mei Li said with relief: "Thank you so much, Mr. Al."

Just as Housekeeper Mary was teaching how to operate the boat, a villager ran out of the woods.

"Housekeeper Meili, there is a strange man in the village, and he is heading towards Miss Kaya's house."

Al quickly asked, "What kind of weirdo is this?"

"He claimed to be a hypnotist and walked backwards. It was just weird."

"Hypnotist, that's him, the new captain of the Black Cat Pirates, Zango. Butler Merry, I'll be leaving first."

After saying that, he moved quickly towards the village using Moon Steps.

After a while, he saw the hypnotist Zangao in the sky.

"Captain Zangao, you are finally here."

Zangao asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

"Captain Clo asked me to wait for you here. He went to the next town these days and is not here."

"I see. No wonder I haven't found Captain Crowe yet. Did he tell me anything?"

"Captain Crowe told you to bring the boat nearby and wait. He will come to find you as soon as he returns."

After tricking Zangao away, he transformed into a dragon and covered his body with flame clouds.

He looked down from high above, watching from afar as Zango returned to the Black Cat Pirates' ship.

After Zangao boarded the ship, he descended from the sky like a god, stepping on the moon and landing on the deck of the Baiji Bulacu.

"Long time no see, Captain Zangao." Al's voice sounded on the deck.

"It's you? Did you fly here from the sky?" Zangao asked in surprise.

"Captain, who is this guy?" the pirates around asked.

El smiled slightly, glanced at the pirates, and said, "Good morning, everyone. I have sent your Captain Crowe to prison. I came here today hoping to borrow your bounty."

"He actually managed to capture Captain Cloe. This guy is so scary." Some pirates whispered.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. Captain Kro is no match for us cat brothers anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, two agile pirates wearing cat claws jumped out of the crowd and quickly attacked El.

"You little minions don't even qualify to create a mission."

Al said this lightly, and two precise flying finger guns instantly knocked down the cat brothers.

After dealing with the two pirates, Al drove the other pirates off the ship.

He tied Zangao and the cat brothers to the mast and drove the Baiji Bulacu back to Xiluobu Village alone.

"Who are you? How dare you break into the territory of my Usopp Pirates? Be careful, my eight thousand men will wipe you out."

Before Al got off the boat, a loud voice came from the shore. The speaker was Usopp, who claimed to have a huge fleet.

Looking over the side of the boat, I saw a long-nosed young man standing on the shore, his face full of tension and vigilance.

Al smiled and said teasingly: "Captain Usopp, please do not let your eight thousand brave men attack me. I will dedicate this great ship to you."

"Are you serious? You're going to give me this great ship?"

Usopp was surprised at first, but then his face showed joy, "Since you are so considerate, I will reluctantly accept it."

Al picked up the ropes that tied the three pirates, got off the boat, and handed the big ship to Usopp.

Since they had taken away the Merry, which originally belonged to them, using this larger ship as compensation could be considered a gesture of goodwill.
