Pirates: Dark Smoker, never lose three times in a row

The old man was very happy.

On the Grand Line.

A luxury cruise ship is sailing slowly.

There are delicacies and fine wines on board, melodious songs, and a group of well-dressed men and women are dancing on the deck.

Smoker lies comfortably on the sofa, taking a sip of the wine next to him from time to time.

[This is life...]

One month ago.

The G12 branch defeated the Jet Pirates with less than a quarter of its troops.

This kind of record is nothing in the New World, but it is shocking enough in Paradise, and it really makes the Navy branch look good.

Even without Smoker in charge, the Sabaody Archipelago now,

without three or four powerful supernovas joining forces, can't even think of stirring up trouble.

Smoker checked the information of the Jet Pirates and interrogated them personally,

and found that although they were a pirate group, they were more like a mobile research institute,

the bulk of their income actually came from selling weapons...

Although they robbed a lot of money, they really didn't do the kind of things that massacred villages and destroyed cities,

which was considered a clear stream in the pirate world.

Smoker picked them out and threw the ones with lives on their hands to Zane,

and locked up the rest, preparing to take the time to recruit them.

Especially Garin Gang, with his civilian science conditions, he actually made so many high-quality weapons, some of which were not inferior to the gun research institute under his guidance,

It was a crime for such talents to fall into the sea!

Garin Gang stayed in prison, still writing and calculating with pen and paper every day, without any sense of being imprisoned.

Seeing this, Smoker asked someone to invite him out and treat him to a good meal.

After a few bottles of strong liquor, he found out his background.

It turned out that this guy was originally a researcher on the Mechanical Island.

Because he was dissatisfied with the island owner Ratchet's daily research on "conquering the world" and "the crown of gold", he took his subordinates to sea.

He had no interest in treasure and rule, but just liked to do research.

The reason why there was such a high bounty was that several non-allied countries bought his weapons and defeated the allied countries, so he became a supernova inexplicably.

So, Smoker packed his entire team and went to the Gun Research Institute.

Such talents must not be wasted...

A few days later, the headquarters' appointment came down,

Esther and Whip became deputy base commanders.

After Smoker completed the handover, he was completely liberated.

He took a six-month vacation directly and prepared to walk from the Upside Down Mountain to the Sabaody Archipelago again.

Of the seven routes, he chose the one that Luffy took.

Prepare to take advantage of the prophet's advantage of the time traveler and get some money first.

"Pulu Pulu..."

The telephone bug in Smoker's pocket rang.

After opening it, it was an image of an old man with messy hair and beard: "Hello, hello, Smoker..."

"Dr. Oubli, long time no see. What's the matter? I'm on vacation!"

"You're still hiding it from me, bastard!"

"Gat Gang said that you will help him develop a high-performance precious alloy. Do you know the significance of this invention?! I want to participate too!!"

Smoker certainly knows that materials science is the most important basic subject.

"I just have a way, but I'm still missing a key item. I came out this time for this..."

Smoker was talking about the Swallow Swallow Fruit and the Wapol Alloy.

This thing has too many accidental factors.

Wapol is the king of the allied country, and it's not so easy to attack him.

And the Wapol Alloy was originally obtained by him by chance, and even if he had the Swallow Swallow Fruit, he might not be able to copy it.

Dr. Oubli: "Anyway, don't forget this, or I'll pester you every day!!"

"Oh, okay, okay... I got it, Doctor. Just let me have a good vacation..."

After hanging up the phone, Smoker sighed helplessly.

These fanatical scientists are really hard to deal with...

Suddenly, the broadcast on the ship sounded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is Cactus Island ahead."

"This is an uninhabited island with unique scenery and very safe. You can get off the ship later to visit. We will also prepare a barbecue dinner!!"

Smoker walked to the side of the boat.

An island appeared in sight.

A wide river divided the island into two halves. The island was covered with huge cacti, which were no smaller than the mountains next to it.

When the boat approached, everyone was surprised to find that

There was actually a group of houses on the island and a newly built pier by the river.

Dozens of men, women, young and old were at the riverside pier, pulling horizontal

, waving flags, shouting and dancing happily...

Smoker looked at the crew beside him, they were also confused.

The cruise ship did not dare to approach, so it lowered the boat to inquire about the situation.

Several crew members talked with each other for a while, and then hurried back.

At this time, the broadcast sounded again.

"Dear guests, we are very sorry, this island is not an uninhabited island!"

"Now a group of new residents have come to the island and established a town called Whiskey Hill."

"The townspeople are very enthusiastic and invite everyone to enjoy fine wine and singing and dancing!"

Cheers suddenly rang out on the boat.

Although the tourists have no worries about food and clothing, they are also a little boring. They are all excited to hear that there is such a warm and interesting town.

Then, the cruise ship restarted and slowly approached the dock.

The islanders held flowers and fine wine, sang and danced with sincere smiles.

The burly mayor was at the front, smiling and welcoming everyone.

Smoker stared at the townspeople in a daze.

[...There was this tradition so long ago? ! 】

But he didn't show anything and got off the boat with the crowd.

As soon as he got off the boat, a fat woman with a kind face put a bunch of flowers on Smoker's head.

"Oh, hehe... handsome boy, welcome to Whiskey Mountain!"

Smoker took the flowers with a smile.

"Thank you for your enthusiasm. When did you build such a town?!"

I checked the information before, and this island is indeed uninhabited.

Judging from the appearance of the crew on the cruise ship, I don't know if there are people on the island.

"We accidentally came here two months ago! We found that the environment here is particularly good, so we settled down!!"

Smoker looked at the houses around him, which were indeed very new.

"Two months ago? So that's it..."

The Grand Line is inconvenient for transportation, and it is normal for a route to take several months.

It is understandable that the cruise ship does not know the changes here.

As for whether Smoker believes it or not, only God knows...

The fat woman continued to talk endlessly.

"This island is located on a major transportation route, so we need to make a name for ourselves and attract more ships!"

"Enjoy it, young man! Please help us promote it later!"

"Oh, don't worry, leave it to me. I know reporters. It would be a loss if you don't come to such a beautiful and welcoming town!"

"Oh, thank you so much!"

Smoker followed everyone into the town.

Although small, it has everything.

A small town with a population of about a hundred, with all kinds of hotels, bars, shopping malls... everything is available.

The islanders were also enthusiastic and tried their best to entertain everyone.

At night, a grand banquet was held on the island.

Passengers, crew members, and residents gathered together, toasting, singing and dancing, and the entire Whiskey Mountain became a sea of ​​joy.

Smoker also drank glass after glass under the persuasion of several beauties.

Soon, everyone was drunk and fell asleep on the ground.

In the middle of the night, there was a cry of night owls in the distance.

The townspeople who were also sleeping soundly suddenly opened their eyes,

and the moonlight reflected a cold light.
