Pirates: It's not a mythical beast, it's a phantom god

Ever since they were stranded on the island, this sensible little girl has been giving them meticulous care and kindness, but they cannot give her anything in return.

The navy, whose mission is to protect the people, has become the one being taken care of.

Moved, ashamed, and self-blame...

Countless emotions surged into the heart of this old navy man who was already in his early forties, and finally turned into a promise.

"Thank you. Thank you, kid."

"I promise you, our navy will definitely come back here again!"

Zefa stood up straight and saluted La seriously with a navy salute.

This is a promise made by an admiral who bears the cloak of justice.

Behind this upright admiral, countless naval soldiers also stood at attention and saluted.

"?"

A rare expression of confusion and bewilderment appeared on La's face.

She has always been mature, steady and calm, but she was a little at a loss after hearing what Zefa said.

What's going on? Is the Navy planning a general attack on the New World?

[This shouldn’t be the case…]

There wasn't a trace of lies in the other person's soul, and what he said just now was truly from the heart.

To be honest, La felt that things were a little beyond her expectations, but she couldn't find out what went wrong.

A faint sense of uneasiness began to spread in La's heart.

Now I can easily see through other people's souls, but at this moment I am completely unable to understand the other person's behavior.

Her own thinking began to deviate from that of ordinary humans, and this has always been her biggest concern.

If he couldn't even understand human behavior... La didn't want to imagine what he would eventually become.

Seeing La's surprised expression, Zefa repeated it again:

"I swear as the admiral of the navy that our navy will return to this island, and then you won't have to worry about pirates anymore!"

[But I'm worried about the navy...]

The sailors below, who had secretly covered their faces and sobbed when they opened the food boxes, also repeated Zefa's oath in unison at this moment.

“We will definitely come back!”

pull:"……"

The feeling of suddenly realizing that he had fed the wrong cat made La want to take the snack back.

After slightly adjusting the hair ornament behind her ear, La regained her composure and gave the navy a normal smile.

"I'll look forward to our next meeting. Goodbye."

……

"See you later, little girl!"

Garp stood on the stern of the warship that had already left the port, eating snacks and waving to La.

Behind him were rows of naval soldiers standing straight and saluting towards the shore.

The same scene was happening on another warship.

"Ah~"

No matter how he felt at the moment, La still politely waved to them as a return gesture.

She also figured it out. Although she seemed to be getting further and further away from understanding humans, the doubts, panic and other emotions that had just arisen in her heart could not be faked.

Although they are all negative emotions, they are better than nothing. At least I won’t become a clay doll with no sensibility but only divinity.

Looking at the warship gradually disappearing from sight, La took out a Den Den Mushi from his sleeve and called Kaido.

"Bulu Bulu~"

"Hey! Who disturbed my sleep?!"

"It's me, Captain Kaido. I'm sorry to bother you so early."

"Ah~ It's you. How are Zefa and the others?"

Hearing the voice coming from the other side, Kaido immediately sat up from the bed.

"Just now, the navy group has all left without leaving any trace or backup plan."

"but……"

La was a little hesitant about how to word it.

"But what? Just say it."

"But before they left, they said they would come back here. Judging from their expressions, they weren't joking."

"Woo-ha-ha-ha! Just this little thing?!"

"If they dare to come back, then come back. This will let them know that the New World is not something their navy can control!"

Chapter 73 Farewell

Kaido is not blindly confident.

Given the need to ensure the safety of the Navy Headquarters and Mary Geoise, the Navy can only send two admiral-level fighters to the New World.

And these two people usually take turns sailing.

When two top fighters take action at the same time like this time, it usually only happens when something major happens in the New World and the Navy feels that the benefits far outweigh the risks.

"Well, it's just a small island, no need to worry too much."

"I'll have those two brats come over and pick you up in a bit."

Kaido said as he stood up and walked towards the door.

"Ossi and Oubey? Then wait a little longer and let them get some sleep."

La, who was on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, looked at the sun that had just risen and said.

"Oh, oh, oh~ It's not okay to spoil those two little brats like that! That's it for now."

Kaido hung up the phone, ran directly to the two sisters' room, kicked the door open, and shouted:

"Wake up! You two little brats! Go get your eldest sister!"

What a joke! I've already been woken up, and everyone else wants to sleep in?!

The two little ones who were curled up in the quilt like cubs were frightened by the sound and jumped up. Osi almost sprayed them with a superconducting wave.

"Quack! Who?! Who's shouting?"

"Another earthquake?!"

The two little ones who had just been kicked out of their sweet dreams were obviously in a bad mood. After a night of tossing and turning in a bad sleeping posture, their hair was now messy and sticking up, making them look like two little lions with their fur standing on end!

"It's me!"

"Boss Kaido? What the hell are you doing here? It's only... not even six o'clock?!"

There are still more than two hours until morning!

Pirates, you are so evil!

"Your eldest sister just sent me a message. You can go pick her up now."

"Ah~wu~big sister? Which big sister?" Osi rubbed his eyes and asked a stupid question in a daze.

"Of course it's Sister La. Do we have any other big sisters? Stupid Ossi!"

Oubei woke up quickly. When he heard what Osi said, he knocked her head, which made Osi wake up instantly.

"Oh! Yes, yes, Boss Kaido, did you just say that we can go pick up Sister La?"

"That's right, go quickly!"

"As for the ship, go ask Dirk to arrange it. I'm going to go back to sleep now!"

After saying that, Kaido went straight back to his room and continued to sleep soundly.

After waking up the two children, you went back to sleep... Kaido, you are really despicable now.

Osi, no longer feeling sleepy, wrapped herself in a single layer of clothing and rushed outside. Although the sea breeze in the early morning was quite cold, it was nothing to her.

"Let's go, why are you hanging around?"

"Don't be so anxious... Shoes! Shoes!"

Oubei quickly put on his coat and followed, but after a few steps he saw Osi in front of him stopped.

"what happened?"

"Um... do you know where Dirk is?"

"..."

It was already evening of the next day when Osi and her crew's ship arrived at the port.

At this moment, La had been standing at the dock with the pirates who had packed their luggage and valuables, waiting for a while.

"La sis!"

Before the boat even reached the shore, Ossi couldn't wait to wave to the shore.

It seems that even though they have only been separated for a few days, Osi already misses her elder sister very much.

After stopping the boat and dropping the anchor, Osi and Obe couldn't wait to jump off the boat and run towards La.

They both opened their arms at the same time and gave her a big hug.

La felt a little helpless. The two little ones in his arms were desperately trying to get into his arms like puppies seeing their owner come home.

That’s right, the usually reserved Oubei also tried to get into La’s arms like Osi did, even more forcefully than Osi.

La gently stroked the two girls' heads and checked their bodies to see if they had any bumps or bruises in the past few days.

"Um...La-sama."

After the three of them hugged each other for a while, Dirk, who came on the boat with them, came forward hesitantly to say hello.

"It's Mr. Deke. Long time no see."

La patted the heads of the two people in his arms, signaling them to let go.

"Just call me Dirk... You're still so polite, Master La."

"All right then, Dirk."

La separated himself from the two little ones and began to ask about the real business.

"Did Captain Kaido send you to take over this island?"

La said as he glanced at the pirate following behind Dirk.

There are about fifty people, the size of a squad, and they have basic logistics and combat personnel.

"Yes."

"Because we occupied a lot of islands this time, we were short on manpower, so they sent me here."

Having said that, one can still see from Dirk's expression that he is proud and honored to be able to guard a place for all beasts.

"Well, it's appropriate for you to guard this place."

I don't think this remote island will encounter any powerful enemies...except the admirals of the navy.

Thinking of Zefa's last oath, La couldn't help but feel a headache.

"If you encounter an opponent that's too powerful to defeat, please call us for help. You should know my Den Den Mushi number."

"Don't worry, Master La! I know that."

"That's good."

"I've cleaned up the old room. Except for the dormitory, everything else is the same as before. You can move in directly."
