I, the Fruit Snatcher

Green pheasant.

Now he is the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

An absolute powerhouse known as one of the top three combat powers of the World Government

"A personal invitation from the admiral? I am so flattered to be invited to join the navy by a big shot like you. Qin Lang smiled. It was just a smile. Under Smoker's surprised gaze, Qin Lang smiled and shook his head to refuse:

"Sorry, General Aokiji. Even if you invite me. I wasn't planning on joining the Navy either."

The phone bug's expression didn't change, and the green pheasant's still lazy voice came out:

"That's such a pity. I've never seen Smoker pay so much attention to someone, especially a pirate."

After talking to Qin Lang, Aokiji said to Smoker in a comfortable tone:

"Okay, Smoker, I've done what you asked me to do, and I'm going to go back to sleep."

The phone bug lowered his head, which meant that Qing Pheasant had hung up the phone.

Smoker put the phone bug away, stared at Qin Lang and said in confusion:

"Do you really want to be a pirate that everyone hates? And refuse to be a navy that upholds justice?"

Qin Lang laughed:

"What difference does it make whether you become a pirate or a navy officer?"

Smoker said seriously:

"The navy is just, the pirates are evil!"

Qin Lang sneered:

"The justice in the concept of victory of justice pursued by the Navy is the justice of the public or the justice of certain people.

You know better than me.

Is there a navy that does evil things in the name of justice?

If there are any characters who uphold justice among pirates, you must have seen them.

Why use career to criticize whether a person is noble or not? Smoker said with a complicated expression:

"At least, the world needs forces like the navy to protect the rights and interests of the majority of people."

"The tide of the world is changing, Smoker.

The Navy cannot stop people's hearts. The only people who can make people's hearts want are those who truly value them."

Qin Lang sighed with emotion, passing by Smoker, and left a sentence:

"Go and penetrate the justice in your heart!

I hope you won't be so weak when we meet next time"

"I will."

Smoge did not stop Qin Lang.

He watched Qin Lang walk along the street and walked into the distance.

Smoker knew very well that he alone could not stop the man in front of him.

If it were Qing Pheasant, You can probably do it.

If you have the same strength as Aokiji...

The light of the cigar on Smoker's mouth is flickering, indicating the violent fluctuations in this man's heart.

"Qin Lang is really a man who cannot be easily seen through!"

A deep male voice with a certain strange charm sounded beside Smoker, interrupting Smoker's meditation.

""White fist!"

Smoker turned around abruptly, his hands turned into smoke, and punched behind him.

But who would have thought that a strange wind suddenly blew out from behind him, and the smoke that Smoker's body turned into was blown away.

Woohoo...

Qin Lang, who had already arrived at the dock, clearly noticed the abnormality of the wind behind him.

He turned around abruptly, looked at the street that could no longer be seen, and said with a slight smile:

"dragon! You are indeed avoiding me"

……

"Monkey·D·dragon! The world government has always wanted your head, right?"

Looking at the man behind him who was wearing a dark green coat, with a tattoo on his left face and no eyebrows.

Smoker said doubtfully:

"Why are you here!"

Lightning pierced the dark clouds and illuminated the face of this 'most vicious' man in the world. He grinned and said:

"I am here to send a man off to sea. Because I know your presence will stop him here."

Smoker pondered the dragon's words and asked in confusion:

"Is it Qin Lang?"

Long didn't answer, just grinned and said to himself:

"Go and understand this world! The world is waiting for our answers!"

After hearing Long's words, Smoker's uneasiness became stronger.

What is the relationship between Qin Lang and Long?

When he woke up from his meditation and looked at Long again, he found that Long had disappeared there long ago, without a trace.

"Hey, why am I lying on the ground? Hey, why are you all lying on the ground?"

The navy who was stunned by Qin Lang's domineering energy began to wake up.

He got up from the ground with confused eyes and called to other people lying on the ground.

When all the navy were awakened, Smoker came to the port on foot.

He Looking at the silhouette of the ship that was gradually moving away in the storm and could no longer be seen clearly, he gave the order with a serious expression:

"Get me a boat!

The Straw Hat Boy's ship that Qin Lang boarded was preparing to go to the 'Grand Line'.

I'm going to the Grand Line too’！"

The subordinates were shocked:

"But Colonel, this island is under your jurisdiction. If anyone from the higher-ups asks……"

Smoker said coldly:

"Tell those people not to boss me around……"

……

On the Golden Merry,

Qin Lang was the last one to return to the ship.

Everyone cheered and rejoiced as they finally managed to escape from the navy.

"Look at that light! Nami

, who was standing at the bow of the ship, pointed to the lighthouse in the distance and smiled happily:

"It is the guiding light. The entrance to the Grand Line is at the end of that light!"

Luffy said excitedly:

"Hee hee, is the Grand Route just in front of that?"

Usopp hugged the ship's pole, looking fearfully at the rough waves around the Merry, and muttered:

"With such a big storm, we don't need to watch it in this storm!"

Everyone ignored him and looked at the light with hope and confidence.

Qin Lang smiled and suggested:

"Since everyone is so excited, let's have a launching ceremony to celebrate the Merry's entry into the great route!"

"OK!"

"bring it on!"

"good suggestion!"

……

On a barrel that Sanji brought.

Sanji stretched out his foot and stepped on the bucket, holding a cigarette and loudly announced:

"I want to find ALL BLUE！"

Luffy also put his feet on the barrel and laughed heartily:

"I want to be the Pirate King!"

Zoro grinned:

"I want to become a great swordsman!"

Nami stepped on the barrel and said expectantly:

"I'm here to draw a map of the world!"

Usopp hesitantly put his foot up and stammered:

"I, I, I want to be a brave sea warrior!"

Everyone looked at Qin Lang, waiting for the newest partner to tell him about his dream of going to sea.

"Is it my turn?"

Qin Lang looked at everyone, walked forward with a smile, and stepped on the wooden barrel.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, he smiled and said:

"I am here to collect all the devil fruit abilities in the world and help you realize your dreams!"

Everyone raised their legs high and stepped heavily on it again.

Bang!

Luffy jumped up and announced loudly:

"Let’s go! Friends, let’s head towards the Grand Route!"

Everyone cheered:

"Good!"

Qin Lang looked at them with a smile, and was also in a good mood.

……

Underground casino in Rogue Town.

The casino owner said to the phone bug with a fearful face:

"Mr. Doflamingo, the boss who stole our gambling money, defeated the monster called Smoker."

A skull with a slash smiley face on it is marked on the pink Den Den Mushi.

"Jie Jie Jie……"

A weird laugh came from the phone bug

"Smoker? Although that guy is weak, a pirate who can defeat him at the entrance to the Grand Route is considered a strong one among newcomers."

The casino owner tried:

"Do we need to pass that bastard's image to those in our sphere of influence?"

"……"

The phone bug was silent for a moment, then smiled strangely again:

"Jie Jie Jie...

A powerful newcomer among pirates defeated a long-established general in the navy.

This heralds the alternation between the new era and the old era, and the new era is quietly coming.

We need this kind of powerful new people to expand our strength.

Cancel all pursuit of this newcomer and pass his information to me. I will personally review whether he is qualified to join us.……"
