The bloody hand Mary of the pirate

After Garp and Zefa arrived, the subsequent itinerary became much clearer.

Under the leadership of Tina, the naval forces from surrounding branches who came to support quickly gathered their troops, and after reorganizing the army, they prepared to withdraw from Alabasta in an orderly manner.

As the faces of the navy, Garp and Zefa are also tasked with condolences to the new king of Alabasta. After this mission is over, they will take Mary to Malinfando.

This time they will keep a close eye on Mary and will not let her escape again. After all, the potential Mary has shown now has proven that she is enough to affect the future situation on the sea.

And according to Zefa's words, "It's outrageous that a kid who is called a Navy supernova by the outside world doesn't even have a formal military status."

But it doesn't matter to Mary. She has no plans to run away now. The most critical psychological problem has been solved. In terms of combat experience, she has also had the experience of fighting against the first-class strongman Crocodile. The only thing Mary needs to improve now is

Hard power on paper.

In addition to basic physical fitness, the naval base, especially the Zefa training camp, is definitely the most formal place in the world with the most ways to improve and the best training results for six postures, two-color domineering, swordsmanship, etc.

Of course, Kaido’s three sticks are outside the scope, and Zefa’s training camp is routine.

Therefore, now Mary is eager to go to the Zefa training camp as soon as possible to improve her strength in order to face the upcoming war on the top. With all her plans, according to the original plot, there are only a few months left before the war on the top. In comparison,

With Mary's current hard power, it is unlikely that she will be able to control the war at the top.

After all, fighting against Crocodile and the Shichibukai is full of dangers. On the battlefield where the lieutenant general is not as good as a dog, Mary might be killed by Whitebeard's aftermath...

Oh, the Yonko, the Yonko.

Mary, standing at the door of the palace, sighed and looked at the sky speechlessly.

My strength is still too low. If I want to be able to do what I want freely, I'm still far from it.

Garp and Zefa are probably negotiating with Weiwei in the palace's conference room right now. With their current status, they still can't enter that conference room.

But...hehe, I was watching the fireworks with Weiwei on the balcony last night.

Mary thought with a smile.

"Your Excellency Mary, you are here."

At this time, Icarim walked out of the palace and said to Mary sheepishly:

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Weiwei may not be able to take action now, um... Or maybe she has been unable to take action in the past few days. The country is full of waste and there are too many official duties. So when you leave in two days, she may not be able to take action.

I've got a way to send it to you. She asked me to apologize to you on her behalf."

Mary smiled and waved her hand to indicate that she didn't care.

"It doesn't matter, her ideal has come true, and I am very happy. Let her concentrate on her work, remember what she once said, and let the people under her rule live and work in peace and contentment. This is the best reward for me."

"Then, Your Excellency Mary, I would like to thank you on your behalf. In addition, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

When Icarim said this, his face became serious, and he said in a high-pitched opera-like tone:

"In view of the outstanding performance of the naval martyr Mary Vinicius in the Alabasta War, our king will give the rainland to Mary Vinicius as a fief and give her the title of duke."

"Your Majesty Mary, from now on, Alabasta will be your strong backing."

Icarem looked at Mary seriously.

Mary blinked, this was the second time she was shocked today.

Granting titles and titles... She had never thought that a trip to Alabasta would yield such rewards.

A territory that belongs to me... speaking of it, in a practical sense, I have had no fixed place since I came to the world of One Piece.

Now, this can be regarded as a place to settle down.

However, Rainland... Pluto seems to be underground in Rainland.

Is this a mistake?

Mary smiled a little dumbfounded, and calmly accepted the kindness of Weiwei and others.

"Hmm...I understand, Ikarem."

After a pause, Mary said again:

"Tell Weiwei that there will always be a time to meet again in the future. I will come back one day, back here."

"Understood, Duke Mary."

"..." Mary felt a chill, "Icarim, you should call me Mary from now on, you can also call me Your Excellency Mary."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Ikarem looked at Mary in confusion.

Mary sighed and held her forehead against her headache.

"Nothing, just the title Duke Mary..."

For me, a modern person, this is very embarrassing and can easily make me think of some not-so-good things.

Mary complained in her heart.

Icarem nodded and left in a hurry. It could be seen that although Icarem had not said it himself, as the leader of the guard, he was probably very busy now.

It was not easy to take the time to explain some things to Mary and then tell Mary about the knighthood. Mary also understood this.

After all, the banquet last night was obviously very effective. Although most navigators, adventurers, and pirates have no intention of staying in Alabasta, there are still many righteous people from neighboring countries who are infected by the atmosphere of Alabasta.

I had the idea of ​​staying in Alabasta.

This is just an idea, and Ikarem and others will probably be busy with follow-up negotiations and other matters for a long time. Mary, as a programmer who died of overwork in her previous life, can only say that she deeply understands this.

At three o'clock in the morning, Zefa and Garp finally walked out of the palace.

"Oh, we've been talking for so long. It's already past dinner time."

Garp covered his growling stomach and said with a miserable expression.

Zefa silently rolled his eyes at Garp. This old boy just went in for a formality. Zefa was responsible for all the conversation. Throughout the whole process, Garp acted as a living treasure who enlivened the atmosphere, letting Weiwei see

The eyes of both of them became a little weird.

"It seems that not all people in the navy are like Lady Mary..."

Zefa was unable to refute this pointed complaint.

Who would have thought that a dignified naval hero would be so virtuous! These old comrades-in-arms understand Garp's nature and are used to the weird behaviors Garp occasionally does. But this does not mean that Garp's image in the eyes of the world is not just a positive one.

Great.

Obviously, Weiwei felt like her dream was shattered when she faced Huobao Garp.

Mary looked at the subtle atmosphere between the two people. She knew Garp's character well, even if Zefa didn't say it, she knew what was probably going on inside.

She sighed and didn't want to care about Garp's troubles. She just asked:

"Teacher Zefa, Mr. Karp, what is your impression of Weiwei?"

Hearing this, Zefa thought for a while and said:

"A very decisive girl, she is also full of wisdom. She will inherit Alabasta, and the future will be promising."

"I think she has a pretty good personality, and she even gives me milk to drink."

Garp said with a carefree smile.

Zefa's face darkened: "Shut up."

Mary also covered her face in embarrassment.

Zefa rolled his eyes and looked at Garp. After seeing that he really stopped talking, Zefa sighed and continued:

"But this little girl is indeed patient. Tsk tsk, those piles of documents, in my impression, the only people who can deal with them as patiently as her are Sengoku and He."

"It is said that this little girl has awakened her overlord color? Maybe there will be an unprecedented superpower in the first half of the Grand Line."

"Oh, by the way, Mary, Weiwei asked me to give you this letter."

After that, Zefa took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Mary, and then walked side by side towards the military camp with Garp.

Mary followed closely behind the two of them, opened the letter and looked at it, frowning as she read.

[Your Excellency Mary, please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. Although I trust your ability, I cannot trust the navy that has launched a demon-slaying order against my hometown.]

[If you need it in the future, I can help you at any time.]

[This is my phone number, you can use this to contact me if necessary.]

[Signed: Nicole Robin]

Mary looked at the letter, sighed, and after silently memorizing the numbers, a black flame ignited in her hand, turning the letter into ashes.

Robin has experienced too many betrayals, and this time he was able to help Alabasta so much, which was considered to be the most benevolent thing. He left while Mary was not paying attention. To be honest, Mary had expected this and was not angry.

All I can say is that I am lucky if I get it, but I am lucky if I lose it.

…

"Kara, Kara..."

The sound of ordnance sounded, and the navy began to gather the team and board the ship.

After Garp and others eliminated the remaining cadres of Baroque Studio in Alabasta, the remaining members of Baroque Studio were no longer a threat. Since then, Baroque Studio has been completely wiped out.

Although the purpose of military training and the purpose of strangling Crocodile were not achieved, it was not considered unfulfilled.

They really didn't expect that Mary and others could actually take care of Crocodile on their own.

Therefore, after clearing away the remnants of the Baroque Studio, the navy, which had nothing to do, had to evacuate as soon as possible. After all, this is theoretically the territory of Alabasta, and the navy cannot interfere with the political power of other countries for a long time.

There is still work to be done to save the face of the world government.

The navy was about to leave, so Mary naturally had to go with her. In the evening, Mary was already standing on the port of Rapeseed Flowers, waiting for the soldiers to board the ship before she finally boarded the ship.

Unfortunately, just as Ikarem said, the country was in dire straits and the newly appointed king did not have time to see off Mary and others. So Mary searched Gaokou and did not see Weiwei, so she was inevitably a little a little bit confused.

Pity.

She looked at the city of Rapeseed Flowers with emotion. The last time she came here, she was alone. Weiwei and others could only be regarded as casual friends, or even people she admired. But when she left, she

But he has gained the friendship of the entire country.

Along the way, almost everywhere Mary went, people paid attention to her and saluted her, and some people who seemed to have unique information channels saluted the Duke as soon as they saw her.

This situation of being admired by everyone made Mary very uncomfortable for a while.

The people of Alabasta have all read today's newspaper. When the navy evacuated, many citizens gathered near the port and looked at Mary with grateful eyes.

Just as Mary was looking around a little unnaturally, a little girl seemed to have mustered up the courage and came forward shyly with her head lowered.

Then, he raised his head and held up a small sea cat doll expectantly.

"Then, that..." the little girl said nervously, "Sister, I'll give it to you."

Mary affirmed slightly, looked at the little girl who was looking forward to it, and subconsciously accepted the little doll handed by the little girl.

The little girl watched Mary take the doll, then turned around and skipped back to her parents with a joyful expression. Seeing this, the onlookers and some of the navy who had not yet boarded the ship couldn't help laughing.

Mary had never experienced such a scene. Even though she was as thick-skinned as she was, she could not help but lower her head in embarrassment. After everyone in the navy boarded the ship, she hurried onto the deck.

When Mary, the last person, stepped onto the ship, the ship weighed anchor and slowly moved away from the coast.

The people stood on the shore one after another and waved goodbye to the warships.

Mary also slowly walked to the railing and looked at the crowd on the shore with a complicated expression.

"How does it feel to be loved by the people?"

Zefa didn't know when he stood behind Mary and asked.

When Mary heard this, she pressed her military cap slightly.

"I feel a little relieved now..."

Mary thought about her initial dissatisfaction with the forced binding of the navy. Comparing it with the current situation, she suddenly understood the meaning of the navy's existence.

"This feeling is very good."

Zefa patted Mary's shoulder hard and said:

"Yes, the people's goodwill is the best reward for our navy. Remember the mood at this moment and work hard for this goal."

Mary looked at the sea cat doll in her hand and nodded solemnly.

Suddenly, Mary's heart palpitated. She was startled and raised her head.

I saw a man in a cloak standing on the roof of a tall building on the far shore.

Looking at Mary, she slowly took off her cloak.

Her aqua-blue hair was flying in the wind, and under the rosy sunset, her beautiful long hair shone with the golden afterglow.

"...Weiwei?"

Mary looked at this figure in astonishment.

"Why are you here?"

In distant Albana, Cobra looked at the pile of documents in front of his desk, sighed, showed a helpless smile, and then immersed himself in work.

But in the street below the high-rise building, he ran fast and collapsed on the ground, gasping for air, and he had become a useless duck.

"goodbye."

Weiwei looked at Mary leaving in the distance and gently made such a mouth shape.

Mary looked at Weiwei with her back to the sunset, smiled with emotion, raised her arms high, and gave Weiwei a thumbs up.

The sea breeze gradually picked up, and the yellow sand rolled up shimmered behind Weiwei, like stars dotted behind her, like streamers.

In the dim atmosphere of the article, Weiwei slowly raised her hand and gave her a thumbs up.

Seeing this, Mary couldn't help but smile, and then said silently:

"Goodbye, Weiwei."

"Goodbye, Alabasta."
