Pirates: The Strongest Justice

New World, Dressrosa.

The originally prosperous dock now seemed a bit desolate, and the smoke-filled battlefield was littered with corpses, most of them from the pirate side judging from their appearance. This was also thanks to Atlas's timely arrival, which prevented Marine's side from causing too many casualties.

The Marines coming and going were handling the post-war situation in an orderly manner. Gion calmly issued orders one after another. The Marines were like a clockwork machine, executing the procedures in an orderly and efficient manner.

Atlas, on the other hand, had to stay where he was due to Gion's strong resistance, looking boredly at the busy Marines and Kingdom Guards, occasionally lending a hand to help.

Suddenly, not far away, a curly-haired man wearing a Kingdom Guard uniform and a red cloak rushed towards him. His expression was full of hurry, and his increasingly intensified breathing showed his urgency.

"Captain of Cyrus' army!"

A guard recognized the man in front of him, quickly put down what he was holding, and greeted him respectfully.

"What's going on? Where are the leaders of the Big Mom Pirates?"

Cyrus was a little confused. He had received a call from King Liku, so he was accompanying his wife in the hut in the flower field. He picked up his weapon and hurried to the port. The scene he originally expected was a scene mixed with killing cries. With the sound of artillery fire, I didn't expect that the war should be over by the situation in front of me.

"Ah~ the battle is over!"

Atlas, who was already bored, brightened up after seeing Cyrus. It was rare to meet a man who interested him, so he quickly came over to pick up the conversation.

"Um?"

Cyrus heard the voice and looked at Atlas with confusion. What caught his eye was a Marine Commodore who looked very young. The pure white suit on his body was spotless, and his face with clear lines had an expression that did not belong here. He is calm for his age, and his appearance is not very handsome, but he can be said to be durable in the pirate world where everyone is weird.

"Who are you?"

"This is Marine Commodore Kanos Atlas. The battle just now ended so quickly thanks to this Marine. The leaders of the Big Mom Pirates were also killed by Atlas Commodore!"

The guards on the side came to introduce Atlas in a timely manner, with a look of reverence in their eyes. They could clearly see the battle just now. Mr. Marine’s attitude toward the so-called Big Mom pirate The cadres of the regiment can be said to have a crushing attitude.

"Thank you so much for helping Dressrosa!"

Cyrus was a little excited when he heard this, his body tensed, and he bowed to Atlas at a 90-degree angle. For Cyrus, Dressrosa was a place he would risk his life to protect, and he was here A wife, a child about to be born, and a king worthy of his allegiance.

Therefore, Cyrus was very grateful to the Marine who had defused Dressrosa.

"Cyrus?"

Atlas looked at the man in front of him with interest. Whether it was judging from the statues he had seen in the arena before or the memories of his previous life, Cyrus still had two skills.

You must know that when Doflamingo tried to seize Dressrosa a few years later, Cyrus defeated the cadres of the Donquixote Family with swordsmanship alone.

"I heard about you, would you like to join Marine?"

Atlas stated his purpose directly. In his opinion, Cyrus could be said to be a subordinate with great potential, and his character and loyalty were recognized by Atlas.

"this……"

Cyrus was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the Marine in front of him actually wanted to poach him, the captain of the Kingdom Guard.

However, Cyrus was still a little moved in his heart. Dressrosa was too young and his swordsmanship had reached a bottleneck. This crisis made him deeply realize the importance of strength.

He has a wife and children he wants to protect, as well as a country he loves. He doesn't want to have to wait for the enemy's mercy and Marine's assistance when he encounters another crisis in the future.

This time Marine arrived in time, but what if Marine didn't arrive next time? Or did Marine abandon them? Cyrus didn't know what would happen to them, but it would be miserable.

But there was a little hesitation in his heart. His pregnant wife had not yet given birth, and he was really reluctant to part with this land of sincerity.

Cyrus thought a lot, with hesitation in his eyes.

"Okay, give you three days to think about it. I will wait for you here then."

Atlas saw Cyrus's hesitation and understood his concerns, but if you want to gain strength, you must make sacrifices. Gentle Country has always been the grave of the strong.

…Three days later…

Atlas and Gion had a wonderful three-day vacation under the warm hospitality of King Riku, and now it was time to return.

On the deck of the warship at this time, Cyrus, the former army commander of Dressrosa, stood next to Atlas. In the past few days, King Liku had learned that Atlas was trying to abduct his army commander, but he was nagging at Atlas. It took a long time, but King Liku also understood what Cyrus was thinking, so he didn't stop him.

Cyrus, standing next to Atlas, looked at Dressrosa who was getting further and further away with infinite nostalgia, but in his mind he recalled the conversation with Scarlet three days ago.

"Cyrus, you are a hero, and I don't want you to stop because of my ties."

"Believe me, our children will be proud of you!"

…………

Three days ago, after Scarlett saw Cyrus with a sad face after returning home, she learned about Cyrus's dilemma after constant questioning.

The love between Scarlet and Cyrus was originally a romantic encounter between a beauty and a hero. Scarlet originally looked down upon Cyrus, who was born in a fighting and killing arena, but Cyrus fell in love with a group of pirates. The two fell in love when the thieves rescued Scarlet.

Therefore, Scarlett is very supportive of Cyrus joining Marine. This is what she thinks of a hero, rather than being bound to the world of Dressrosa for the sake of love for her children.
