Pirate: Son-in-law, I’m determined!

East China Sea, Shieldstown.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

The port bells rang steadily.

"The Navy is back!"

Upon hearing the bell, residents spontaneously gathered on both sides of the street, waiting for the return of the heroes who protected them.

Different from the disastrous defeat half a year ago, this time all the sailors of the 153rd branch held their chests high and marched forward in an orderly manner.

In the middle of the team, a steel cage was escorted, in which more than a dozen survivors of the Black Cat Pirates were imprisoned, and the captain "Hundred Strategies" Crow was also among them.

return with glory!

"It's the devil!"

"Very good!"

"The Navy wins!"

The residents of the town cheered, especially those whose family members had died at the hands of pirates, and cried with joy.

However, war cannot be without sacrifice.

At the rear of the team, a dozen corpses wrapped in white cloth were pulled on carts, and more than 20 soldiers were seriously injured and disabled and could no longer fight.

Compared with the astonishing results of annihilating the Black Cat Pirates, this sacrifice is actually not serious, and can even be said to be a "complete victory."

In the long war with pirates, the sacrifice of the navy has long become the norm. After all, the world is so cruel.

The warm atmosphere was quite depressing.

Food pub, at the door.

Lixiang held her daughter Lixiang and waited anxiously. When she saw Loya at the end of the navy team, her face instantly lost all color.

"Loya, Loya!"

Loya is not in the team!

Lilixiang's body went limp and she almost fainted. She looked at the trolley transporting the corpse, covered her mouth in pain, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Hmm~~"

Before Xiao Lixiang realized it, she pulled Li Lixiang's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Mom, where is Brother Luoya?"

"Loyata."

Lilixiang resisted crying, and the scene of her husband's death appeared in her mind, as well as Loya's farewell to her half a year ago.

Will not.

Loya is so smart, he won't die!

Lixiang picked up Lixiang and uncontrollably chased to the front of the marine team, stopping Colonel Rhodes, speaking with a trembling voice.

"Colonel Rhodes, is Loya back?"

"Loya."

Colonel Rhodes looked dazed.

He still remembered how powerless he felt when he returned half a year ago and how much he hated himself when faced with the residents' questions.

This time, he could stand tall.

Looking at Lilixiang's pale face, Colonel Rhodes smiled and comforted softly: "Please rest assured, Mrs. Lilixiang, Loya has made a great contribution this time. He is recovering from his injuries in Xiluobu Village and will return to the 153rd Branch in a few days. !”

"Eh?"

Lilixiang stood still.

Only when the navy team walked away did Lirika come back to her senses.

Joy replaced sadness.

Loya is okay, Loya is okay!

Lixiang touched Lixiang's cheek and asked in a low voice uneasily: "Mom, why are you crying?"

"Lixiang, Brother Luoya is fine. He will be back in a few days."

Lilixiang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, the fear and helplessness in her heart gradually disappeared, and there was a bright smile on her face again.

"Let's go home and wait for brother Luo Ya to come back."

"Um!"

Three days later at noon, the West Lob arrived at Shieldstown.

"came back."

Luo Ya stood on the shore and waved goodbye to Keya's family. If the little girl wasn't really worried, he would have wanted to come back the next day.

Report back to the branch first!

He has put in so much effort this time, and he will definitely have a vacation after that. He will go back to visit Sister Lixiang and Xiao Lixiang in a few days.

After a while, the 153 branch door opened.

Linus and Carrock were on duty today. When they saw Loya returning, they straightened their backs immediately.

salute!

"You have worked hard!"

Although they were both marines, the two of them saluted and greeted them as if they were facing their superiors, even more vigorously than when they faced Colonel Rhodes.

"Um."

Luo Ya smiled and nodded, and walked into the branch swaggeringly.

"Loya is back!"

Soon, the news of Loya's return quickly spread throughout the branch. As the biggest contributor to the defeat of the Black Cat Pirates, the entire branch was looking forward to his return.

Tower, Colonel's Office.

Loya raised his head and chest.

"Private Loya, come and report!"

"Don't be so serious, just sit down."

Colonel Rhodes smiled and shook his head, motioning Loya to sit down.

The two came to the sofa area. Colonel Rhodes took out a pack of special cigarettes from the drawer and threw it to Loya.

"Take it and smoke it, I know your boy likes this."

"Thank you Colonel."

Luo Ya chuckled, took it and shook out one. Since you, Colonel, already know my true identity, I will simply stop pretending.

Colonel Lord spoke of recent developments.

"I have reported the Black Cat Pirates incident to my superiors. The escort ship will arrive in about three days."

When the naval branch of the Four Seas successfully defeated the pirate group, it was customary to report to the superiors and be escorted to the local court by special warships for trial.

Important wanted criminals like Crowe will most likely be escorted to Justice Island and eventually imprisoned in Impel Down City.

It's not that he doesn't want to execute Crowe directly, but the government's regulations are like this. On the one hand, it is to prevent the branch from pretending to claim credit, and on the other hand, it is to prevent the navy from having too much power.

The Navy does not have the authority to judge pirates.

"Luo Ya, you have made the first contribution this time."

Colonel Rhodes corrected his expression: "I have already reported your performance, as well as the achievements of Glass Bead Island in defeating the Tulip Pirates alone. Please wait patiently."

"Yes, I know."

Loya nodded.

The process still needs to be followed, especially for major matters such as job promotion. After all, the Navy is affiliated with the World Government and is not an independent organization.

The credit cannot be taken away, just wait and see.

After chatting for a while, Loya stood up and left.

He also had some personal matters he wanted to deal with.

Branch 153, cell.

The Black Cat Pirates are all imprisoned here. There were originally more than fifty people, but now there are only a dozen people left.

Even though humans in this world generally have strong vitality, it is extremely difficult to survive Crowe's massacre.

However, what they will face is basically the death penalty.

Loya passed by the cell, glanced at Crowe who was completely exhausted, and walked towards the innermost cell.

In order to prevent the pirates from retaliating, Zangao was imprisoned in a separate room.

Fenbudi was also outside the cell, with a very lonely look on his face.

"Loya, you are back."

"Um."

Loya patted Fenbudi on the shoulder and could feel the other person's mood. If he could not fulfill his original promise to Zangao, he would probably feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Loya comforted him. He had just told Colonel Rhodes about this matter, and Colonel Rhodes promised him to use the name of the 153rd branch as a guarantee.

Praise for his contribution to this crusade against the Black Cat Pirates. Coupled with the guarantee from Branch 153, the judge should weigh it carefully.

"I'll go see him."

Loya walked into the cell.

Zangao was squatting in the corner. Hearing the sound of opening the door, he only raised his head slightly without any energy.

Loya spoke calmly.

"Do you regret betraying your companions?"

"Regret? Stop joking."

Zangao sneered.

"Do you think you are playing house?"

"Pirates are just a group of wild dogs abandoned by the world. For treasure and power, pirates can pierce the hearts of the people closest to them with their blades. The betrayal and killing between each other will never stop."

"For Captain Crowe, everyone is his pawn. Once they are no longer useful, Captain Crowe will deal with them mercilessly, even me."

"Those useless guys are the same. As long as they see a chance, they will kill me and take my place without hesitation!"

"This is a pirate!"

Zangao roared.

However, those clenched fists revealed his inner unrest, and he could not let go of the fact that he personally destroyed all his subordinates.

Luo Ya was silent for a long time, then turned and left.

"After you come back from court, be a good person!"
