My little brothers are all big guys

The office of the Rogue Town Navy Branch.

Ivan and Kuro were drinking tea, while Smoker went out for inspection.

Since he became the highest commander of the Rogue Town Branch, there have been too many fewer pirates who can enter the Grand Line from the East China Sea.

Smoker basically did it himself, catching batches of pirates.

The curtains on the window swung with a strange feeling, and Ivan smiled.

"Who is it?"

Kuro felt someone sneaking in and shouted vigilantly.

Lafitte appeared from the window, and danced for a while, making a gentleman's salute: "As expected of an elite around a big shot, you are very vigilant!"

"Five days, the efficiency is not bad." Ivan drank tea by himself, without looking up.

Lafitte walked to the desk and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the big shot was you, it really surprised me."

"You have a good reputation, and the people who follow you are paid very well. It is an honor to receive your invitation."

After a pause, Lafitte said: "But I have a question, please feel free to answer it. What would happen if I didn't come to Rogue Town?"

Ivan stared at him, and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes: "Then you will die, maybe I will do it myself."

"People like you will never honestly find a job to live, right?"

It was so direct that Lafitte instantly restrained his smile, and a chill rose in his heart, because he really wanted to kill.

He had carefully learned the intelligence about this person, and he was indeed a person who kept his word.

As his thoughts raced, Lafitte smiled brightly, put his right hand on his chest, and bowed his head slightly: "Boss, Lafitte is willing to serve you."

Ivan's sharp eyes stayed on Lafitte, which put a lot of pressure on him, but he still kept a smile on his face.

After a while.

Ivan smiled gently: "Very good, then we will all be family members in the future."

"Your salary is ten times that of an ordinary marine, and it can be increased if you perform well."

"Your brainpower and martial arts will have room to play. Who knows, you can appear in front of the world again as a hero."

A typical carrot and stick, Lafitte sighed in his heart, but did not dare to have any opinions.

He could feel the domineering and powerful power of his new boss, as well as the iron-blooded murderous aura of the long-term battlefield.

...

"Boss, why don't we go to the Calm Belt?" Kuro asked.

After conquering Lafitte, Ivan set off that day and returned to the Navy Headquarters.

In fact, they can go through the doldrums, which is faster.

Ivan said: "We are not in a hurry. We can sail back from the Grand Line Paradise and have a bite to eat if we meet pirates along the way."

"Catching pirates and making money are both long-term tasks. We can't complain about being tired, haha."

Listening to the new boss's high-sounding talk, Lafitte felt that it was also very appetizing and very motivated.

On the warship, the soldiers who were observing the wind direction and the movement of the sea observed a ship in front with a telescope, and it was also flying a pirate flag.

"Report to the admiral, there is a pirate ship in front, it should be an unknown pirate who has just entered the Grand Line."

Ivan was lying on a chair with a book in his arms, and said to Kuro: "You can do it."

In front of the warship was a large two-masted pirate ship. A sailor on the ship hurriedly ran to the big man wearing a captain's hat and shouted.

"Captain, there are navy ships behind us."

Hearing this, the ship caused some agitation. The big man with the captain's hat took a telescope and looked around, and found the details of the warship.

He said with pride and smile: "Haha, I'm really lucky. It's a small warship. There shouldn't be many people on it, and the combat effectiveness shouldn't be too strong."

"Send the order to turn the rudder. I'm going to fight them in my first battle in the Grand Line."

Haha, the crew laughed happily.

The man dressed like a navigator said: "Captain is now a big pirate with a bounty of 35 million. After those navy ships are dealt with, the bounty will probably increase again."

"Haha, brothers, grab your weapons and destroy the navy." The captain was very happy.

On the warship side, Kuro was commanding. Seeing that the pirates were actually approaching them, he sneered with disdain.

Bang, bang, bang, the shells roared, and the smoke filled the air.

The two sides actually opened fire at the same time, then closed the distance and ran to the other ship to land.

Especially the pirates, before the two ships were close to each other, they used grappling hooks and ladders to rush to land, and the crew members climbed over excitedly.

After the fight, they found that the situation had formed

One-sided, the navy landed on the pirate ship instead.

A fight was inevitable. Kuro and Lafitte were the main forces on the navy side. Half an hour later, the pirate captain was completely defeated.

On the navy side, everyone saw Lafitte, the violent law enforcement officer, who was really violent.

In the following days, the warship sailed all the way to Marinford. The speed was not fast, because they fought the pirates when they met, and at the same time they had to deal with the spoils, bounties, and prisoners.

Ivan's approach was also very direct. If there were no more prisoners, he would notify other branches to come and recruit people. The bounty would definitely be divided into a part, but the big head would definitely go to him.

As for the spoils, pirate ships and treasures, there would be mysterious people coming to receive them.

Lafitte had been observing these things, and he had to admit that his new boss was not simple and had a wide range of connections.

Strange things happened in the sea far away from the doldrums.

"Boss, something happened." Kuro came to report.

"What's wrong?" Ivan said.

Kuro: "You should go and see it yourself."

Then the two walked out of the office, and the soldiers on the warship were discussing some ghost talk.

Only to see two ships quietly parked on the sea.

A warship and a pirate ship, there were no people on both ships, no, to be precise, there were many stone statues.

Those stone statues all looked like navy and pirates, they were holding weapons, and some of them were in fighting postures.

Most of the stone statues turned their heads to look in the same direction, and their facial expressions were all pig-like and difficult to control.

Whether it was a warship or a pirate ship, the total number of stone statues on the two ships was five or six hundred, and they were so lifelike, as if they were transformed from people.

Both ships had bullet holes, knife marks, and blood on the ground, such as traces of fighting.

No living person who could breathe was seen, only human-shaped stone statues, and even a tall stone statue with a nymphomaniac face on the warship, and the stone medal on the shoulder was still a vice admiral.

Everything was very strange. Many marines under Ivan were discussing ghosts, and the words of divine punishment were getting more and more intense.

Even Kuro and Lafitte had never seen such a scene. Listening to the ghosts' words, their faces were full of doubts.

Kuro: "Boss, what is going on?"

Lafitte was thinking with one hand on his cheek. There was no doubt that these were definitely people, but they didn't know what had happened to them, and their expressions were very strange.

Ivan was the only one who remained calm, and he even laughed out loud.

Kuro and Lafitte were puzzled at first, but seeing their boss's relaxed attitude, he must know what was going on.

Ivan shouted to the marines, "Okay, don't think about it, I know what's going on."

"This is the power of the devil fruit, not a ghost."

Lafitte was surprised: "There is such a terrible power?"

Kuro seemed to remember something and said: "The rumor is true. That person is not famous. I just saw the information by chance."

Ivan smiled and said: "Yes, it's her, the new queen of Amazon Lily, the captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates, Boa Hancock."

"The user of the Sweet-Sweet Fruit can petrify people."

However, the problem came. Kuro asked: "They must have met Boa Hancock when they were fighting with the pirates, but why could she petrify everyone?"

Ivan sighed and said: "As for the reason, I probably know it, but you may not believe it if I tell you."

Looking at the petrified pig faces and nympho faces, Kuro also guessed it and covered his forehead in embarrassment.

"Forget about these pirates, but we can't ignore these navy and this vice admiral."

Ivan said: "Yes, let's have someone try to remove the petrification by pouring sea water."

"Be careful not to break the stone statue, otherwise the person will really die."

So, the marines began to use wooden barrels to get sea water, and used a marine as an experiment, pouring sea water continuously, but there was no effect.

Ivan was helpless, it seemed that only the devil fruit ability users could not soak in sea water, and the ability products used were not afraid of sea water.

Kuro saw that the marines were constantly busy, and asked helplessly: "Boss, what should we do? Should we report to the headquarters?"

"No, don't do it first, most of you stay in this warship, and use a few people to drive the boat for me."

"I will go to Amazon Lily in person, remember, don't report before receiving my message." Ivan said cautiously.
