Pirate: My partner is too crooked

No. 61 Yarkman Mangrove, Naval Station of the Chambord Islands.

"Hahahaha! How about Smog, are you satisfied with the environment and atmosphere here?"

Hearty and heroic laughter came from the reception room.

Carrying a large bag of donuts in his hand, Garp crossed his legs and sat casually on the sofa.

On the opposite side, there are clouds and mist. Smoker is holding a large lit cigar in his mouth and wearing the classic righteous cape of a naval colonel.

Compared to the neat and dignified appearance of Rogge Town, Smoker, who had only been in Shampoo Land for about ten days, looked quite haggard, with a deep scar clearly visible at the corner of his eye.

Those who can successfully cross various dangerous islands and reach the end of the first half of this great route are not low-level pirates, at least not those weaklings in the East China Sea!

Coupled with the complex crimes of human trafficking, slave auctions, underground transactions, etc. in the Shampoo Islands themselves, Smoker, who has a sense of justice, is overwhelmed.

In particular, these various crimes are more or less ambiguous with Doflamingo, the Shichibukai, and even the world's nobles, the Celestial Dragons!

After seeing the filthiness of this world with his own eyes, Smoker's feeling of powerlessness became stronger, and his determination to climb to a higher position became stronger.

Under such circumstances, he, who had always had his own way of doing things, learned to deal with things diplomatically and to be patient.

On the surface, they are fighting against the criminal pirates, but secretly, they are still preparing a plan to abolish the legal auction of slaves in Shampoo.

Unfortunately, the forces involved were too strong, and he had not yet established a firm foothold when he arrived. Without the right time, it would be difficult to realize this plan.

——Although ascending to the sky does not seem to be difficult for him as a smoke fruit ability user...

Ahem, in short, Smoker has grown a lot since coming to Chambord, both in terms of strength and character.

"Lieutenant General Garp, please stop making fun of me."

Thinking of how tricky the shampoo field was, Smoker sighed heavily and blew out a thick smoke ring.

"I would never do such a demeaning thing."

Garp raised his hand and grabbed a handful of donuts and put it in his mouth. He looked at Smoker with a serious look and said, "Smoger, if it were you, I think you can definitely bring some good things to Shampooland." changes."

"This is exactly why that old guy Sengoku Xiangkuo recommended you to come here."

To actually call Marshal Cyborg Kong an old man so openly...

Smoker wanted to complain, but in the end he suppressed the words that came to his lips.

The feeling of oppression brought to him by the naval hero was very strong.

"Yes, I understand!"

Seeing Smog being so serious, Garp laughed again, "There's no need to be so serious. We came to Shampoo this time just to meet old friends. We have no direct work contact with you."

"Speaking of which, you and Lieutenant General Kuzan are here..."

Having said this, Smoker paused and looked sideways at the tall man lying outside the reception room, wearing an eye mask and sunbathing.

"Are you coming for Pluto Rayleigh?"

As the garrison commander here, he naturally received the news that One Piece Vice-Captain Silbarz Rayli was living in seclusion here.

No matter how you think about it, it can only be this man who can dispatch two superior lieutenant generals, Garp and Kuzan.

"That's right." Garp nodded slightly.

"Do we need our cooperation to evacuate the residents on the island in advance?" Smoker asked with worry.

Once a conflict breaks out between strong men of this level, the entire Shampoo Land might be completely destroyed!

"Don't worry, we are just here to confirm the authenticity of the news."

Garp's cheeks were filled with donuts that were filled with balls. He said in vague words, "Due to the strong rise of the red-haired pirates, the situation among the four emperors in the new world is turbulent. There is no need to do it at this time." , spending a lot of combat power to deal with a retired old man."

"I see."

Just when Smoker felt a little relieved, the phone in the room suddenly sounded a rapid burble.

An ominous premonition suddenly emerged from Smoker's heart.

He pressed the answer button on the bug.

"Oh no, Colonel Smoker! News from Mangrove No. 1 is that Pluto Rayleigh has been captured at the slave auction house!"

"What did you say?!" The corner of Smoker's mouth twitched.

"Hahahaha, are you auctioning Silbarz Reli? It's really a good time to watch the show." Garp laughed so hard that his crow's feet appeared.

At this moment, the Marine's voice came from the phone again.

"Also, Lin Zhi, the hero of the East China Sea, was also sold to the auction house."

The sailor in charge of Mangrove No. 1 happens to be the elite subordinate brought by Smoker from Rogge Town, so he can recognize Lin Zhi, the owner of the sea restaurant with unlimited dreams.

"What?! Lin Zhi?!"

Garp's smile suddenly froze, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Then that brat is here too?"

The donut residue in his mouth sprayed Smoker's face.

Rayleigh was originally active in the Shampoo Islands, so it was somewhat understandable that he would do some weird things.

But Lin Zhi was beyond his expectation.

Smoker even reached out to cover his face, silently wiping away the residue on his face. He couldn't believe that Lin Zhi would join in the fun.

A man of that level doesn't look like someone who would be caught and sold to an auction house!

…

Time moves forward a little.

No. 1 Archimangrove, underground cage at the slave auction site.

Lin Zhi, who was wearing a slave collar around his neck, was escorted by two strong men, walking down the dark and narrow passage.

To the left and right are extremely oppressive cages.

In order to buy wine for Aqua, he had no money to repay, so he willingly gave himself up, and was sold to this auction house by Xia Qi for 800,000 beli.

As a seasoned veteran, Xia Qi naturally knew what Lin Zhi was planning, but he didn't reveal it.

Not to mention that there was no malice on the other side, even if he really had evil intentions, she didn't think he could pose any threat to Rayleigh now.

More than this, she wanted to see what this young and strong man was going to do!

Inside the cage, slaves with different appearances, sizes, and even races lowered their heads and looked lifeless. They didn't even bother to look up to see what their new "inmates" looked like.

They have all been reduced to becoming commodities for others to buy and sell. How can they care about the appearance of other commodities?

"Brother, this is the only room, it's troublesome."

Passing by a dimly lit cage, Lin Zhi stopped when he recognized Lei Li sitting inside.

"No problem, let's go in."

The two strong men glanced at Rayleigh inside and opened the cage without saying a word.

If you want to talk about why they would listen to a mere "product", it is naturally because when the "product" came in, it was stuffed into their pockets to express their feelings.

As for why this person was sold to the auction house and why there was still money left, that was not something they needed to worry about.

Anyway, by wearing a slave collar that can explode at any time, his fate is already sealed!

Click, click, click.

The sound of anklets rubbing against the floor tiles echoed in the quiet underground prison. Lin Zhi walked to Lei Li calmly and sat down slowly against the rough wall.

Lei Li, who had his hands casually resting on his knees, turned slightly and landed on Lin Zhi.

"Young man, is something wrong?"

Lin Zhi posed in the same style, with a smile on his lips, and got straight to the point.

"Silbasraeli, I have wanted to see you for a long time."

Reilly: "???"
