I Have Been Sleeping Among Pirates For A Hundred Years

A ray of light shone into the dim room.

The door was pushed completely open.

"Tashigi, what are you doing here!"

A man holding a cigar strode in.

"S-Smoker Commodore..."

Seeing the familiar figure, Tashigi's tense mood suddenly relaxed. She knelt down on the ground exhausted, and big beads of sweat on her face kept dripping on the wooden board.

After letting out a long breath, he took out the phone bug hidden in his arms and said, "I'm communicating with Colonel Hina."

"You idiot, this is a Marine warship, and there are all Marines on board. I just asked you to report, but I didn't ask you to do this!"

Smoker helplessly looked at the naturally stupid girl in front of him, and took the phone bug that was still communicating in the other person's hand, "Hey, Hina, it's me, Smoker!"

"Hina heard that you are being watched?"

The person on the other end of the phone said calmly.

"It's just this kid's wishful thinking. We haven't fallen into this situation yet."

Smoker paused, "However, that guy is indeed different. I need your information. You'd better find out his details quickly. Got it!"

"Hina doesn't think you are begging for help, Smoker."

The phone bug held a thin cigarette in his mouth and blew out a puff of smoke. "It's because you can't speak that you are hated by the seniors in this department."

"Stop talking, I don't care what they think!" Smoker also exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Okay~Okay~"

Hina sat on the table with her legs crossed and dangling in the air.

She held the telephone receiver and muttered Smoker's words while taking the photo that had just been printed from the fax machine and handed over by the clerk.

The man's bust came into view.

"Is this the man?"

Hina spoke casually and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, "Nothing special..."

As she finished speaking, her expression suddenly changed, and her pupils suddenly dilated, "He, he is..."

"Any information?"

Smoker on the other end of the phone frowned.

"Hina believes that one should confirm it in person before drawing a conclusion."

Hina can no longer take her eyes off the photo in her hand. She is very popular in Naval Headquarters and has been dealing with the Marine Intelligence Agency all year round, so she can know some information that ordinary generals cannot obtain.

If it was really that man, why would he appear in today's era?

"Smoker, tell Hina your location, Hina rush there now!"

…

The breeze was blowing, Hina stood on the deck of the warship.

After capturing Crocodile and destroying the secret organization Baroque Chinese Society, she obtained approval from Naval Headquarters and entered a rare leave period.

But the appearance of this photo forced her to end her vacation a week early.

In an era long before Cross ruled the sea, there was a pirate who turned the Naval Headquarters upside down.

Today's Marineford was rebuilt on those ruins.

Before that man appeared, World Government and Marine prestige had reached their peak.

But with just one person, he was able to shake Marine's image as an impossible god of war in the minds of the world.

It can be said that that war overturned the situation of the entire world. From then on, the turmoil on the sea became more and more intense.

Even if the World Government tried hard to eliminate that man's influence, only a hundred years was still too short.

If he is the man called "Blood Eye"...

Hina looked at the photo absentmindedly.

"Colonel Hina."

Fendi and Zangao stood behind Hina, one on the left and one on the right. The former was holding a cloak and the latter was holding a scarf. They both said at the same time: "It's windy outside."

After saying that, the two of them looked at each other secretly.

"How far is it from the G-37 branch?" Hina came back to her senses.

"It will take another day." The two said at the same time.

"Has the permanent pointer you took when you passed by the G-19 branch yesterday properly kept?"

"Yes, Colonel Hina."

The two said in unison, then gritted their teeth and looked at each other, with the same warning in their eyes: Colonel Hina will not fall in love with a guy like you!

"Hina still has to do this kind of thing for Smoker, it's true."

Hina curled her lips in dissatisfaction.

As soon as they heard Smoker's name, the two people who were still competing with each other suddenly felt like deflated balls, unable to look up to the sky.

If he gave birth to Smoker, why would he give birth to them both?

…

Gaya sea area.

"Smoker Commodore, that's Captain Hina's warship."

Tashigi whispered closely.

Looking at the warship slowly approaching on the sea, Smoker exhaled puff after puff of smoke. When the two ships intersected, he faced them expressionlessly.

Hina stepped forward: "You don't seem happy at all to meet Hina?"

"We have known each other for so many years, what is there to be happy about meeting."

Smoker said calmly.

"You are so indifferent to Hina."

Even so, she was already used to Smoker's way of speaking and didn't take it to heart.

Instead, he turned to look at Joel, who was lying on the lounge chair wearing sunglasses and sunbathing.

It's just that this undisciplined image... doesn't look like a legendary figure at all.

"Hina is very curious that a legendary figure like Senior looks so young... As far as Hina knows, Senior is at least one hundred and twenty years old, right?"

Hina stood very measuredly about ten meters away from Joel and stopped.

"W-what!"

"This guy is one hundred and twenty years old?!"

Behind them, Zangao and Fenbudi looked shocked. The man in front of them, who looked just a million times more handsome than them, was actually older than their dead grandfather!

Even Smoker's brows jumped up. What kind of monster was on his ship... Who was he?

"One, one hundred and twenty years old?"

The naturally stupid girl with glasses stuttered, and used her fingers to calculate the number in confusion, but found that her fingers seemed not enough.

Joel looked at the visitor and suddenly laughed playfully: "Do you also want to become younger like me? I can keep you young forever."

Like a devil whispering in her ears, Hina's heart couldn't help but tremble.

Although she has always taken good care of her figure and appearance, she also gives herself a long vacation every year to adjust her mentality and emotions.

But after she turned thirty, she felt obviously powerless, and when she smiled, a wrinkle at the corner of her eye would be clearly visible.

Although she has been trying hard in the past two years to keep her smile small and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, she also knows that these passing years will never come back.

Day after day of exposure to wind and sun on the sea will eventually make her skin dull and dull, and she will eventually become one of the older women.

It's just like……

Aged Crane Vice Admiral.

When she thought of this, Hina suddenly woke up and threw all the disrespectful thoughts out of her mind. At the same time, she looked at Joel cautiously and thought:

"This man...he is bewitching Hina."
