One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Grand Line, 74th Naval Branch.

After several days of An's continuous efforts, An almost wiped out all the pirates near Branch 74.

The few pirates who escaped their fate also fled the sea overnight.

At the branch port, An waved goodbye to the entire navy.

At the pier, two figures, one large and one small, looked slightly out of place.

An patted Mars who was squatting and said, "Don't be so impulsive next time, and don't die."

The two then rode their bicycles to the next island.

…

"Brother Kuzan, you are saying that Mars will be commended by the Navy Headquarters in a few days."

While riding bicycles, the two chatted.

"Yes, this is all thanks to you for leaving all the credit to Mars." Kuzan said calmly.

Through these few days of getting along, Kuzan also got to know his little junior sister better.

"Her justice is similar to Akainu, but mixed with benevolence."

"Isn't this bad? It's a good thing for a navy with a just heart like Mars to receive recognition."

"Maybe!" Kuzan had some guesses but did not tell An.

…

Two days later, a pirate ship floated on the sea.

An stepped on the pirate captain's face and was about to kill the pirate captain.

Bulu Bulu... Bulu Bulu...

The phone bug's voice rang.

Ann pulled back her feet and motioned for the pirate to answer the phone.

Faced with An's request, the pirate captain hurriedly answered the phone.

Hadrow's appearance appears on the phone bug.

"Buck! How long do you have until you get to the 74th Marine Branch?"

Hearing about the 74th Naval Branch, An's eyes sank and a bad thought came to his mind.

Signaling Buck to reply to Hadro's question.

"Boss, I can arrive in two days."

"Remember not to act until I arrive. Wait until I arrive before acting."

"I know, Boss Hadro."

After hanging up the phone, An looked gloomy.

Without waiting for An to ask, Buck honestly explained Hadro's plan.

Hearing the nickname "Pirate Execution Maniac", An's face changed drastically and he cursed loudly.

"Who picked the name? It's really not good enough."

Kuzan twitched his mouth and thought, is this the focus of attention?

However, Kuzan's previous guess was confirmed.

"Ah la la, Ann, is it possible that they mistook Mars for you."

Kuzan's reminder was like a thunderclap in An's heart.

Yes, I left all the credit to Mars and the others.

So the pirates outside must regard Mars as themselves.

Damn it, with Mars’ little strength, how could he be the opponent of so many pirates?

"Senior Brother Kuzan, what is the approximate strength of the commendation personnel sent by the headquarters." An asked Kuzan.

"Ah la la, a commendation of this level should be about a major general."

"Can the Major General deal with the pirates who have a bounty of 300 million?"

"An, there are many types of rear admirals."

"The powerful one is as strong as Adjutant Bogart, and the weak one depends on the specific situation," Kuzan patiently explained to An.

After hearing Brother Kuzan's explanation, An finally decided to return to the 74th branch.

If something happened to the entire Navy of Branch 74 due to his own fault, Anke would not forgive himself.

With a big fire, Ann gave Buck a good time.

Then he and Kuzan rode bicycles back to the 74th Naval Branch.

Naval Headquarters at this time.

Rear Admiral Jean is heading to the 74th Naval Branch on a warship with a letter of commendation from the Navy Headquarters.

Time flies.

An accelerated her bicycle and the two days passed quickly.

74 Naval Branch.

Today, Colonel Mars preached Ann's achievements at the morning meeting as usual.

This has almost become a daily activity for the entire 74th Naval Branch.

In just a few words, Ann's strength and kindness were described by Mars.

The navy in the audience shouted An's name.

"Colonel!"

"Someone from headquarters is here."

Just as Mars was about to go out to greet him, Major General Jean had already walked in.

With a smile on his face, Jean said: "Colonel Mars, this is the commendation given to you by the headquarters." Then he handed over the commendation book.

"Colonel Mars' headquarters, in recognition of your merits, allows you to go to headquarters and pick a Devil Fruit."

"Major General Jean, please forgive me for not accepting this commendation."

"This achievement is not mine. I cannot take the credit from Colonel An."

Now Mars has begun to protect An's interests.

? ?

Gene was full of questions. He encountered such a problem the first time he sent a commendation letter.

However, Gene has been familiar with the world for a long time and interrupted Mars directly.

"Colonel Mars, since Colonel An left this credit to you, she naturally has her own intentions."

"Don't let her down," Jean reminded her meaningfully.

is that so? Mars began to think about it, and remembering Colonel An's tone before leaving, Mars felt that he had realized something.

So he directly held Jean's hands and said, "Thank you very much, Major General Jean."

"If it weren't for you, I might have missed Colonel An's good intentions."

Mars' behavior made Jean baffled.

But as long as the commendation letter was sent out, Jean didn't care.

Mars and Jean are really in love with each other.

On the sea not far from Base 74.

More than a dozen pirates are here in neat rows.

"Isn't Buck here yet?" Hadrow asked.

"Boss Hadro, Brother Buck hasn't come yet, maybe he was delayed on the road."

Buck is one of Hadro's right-hand men, and his strength is beyond doubt.

In addition, he called him two days ago, so Hadro just thought that he was delayed by something.

Don’t think too much!

Hadrow issued a direct order to attack the 74th Naval Branch.

Seeing the Hadero Pirates dispatching, Hansen and Emily were no longer waiting.

At the same time, orders were given to attack together.

On the sea, the pirate ship was approaching the 74th Naval Branch in a menacing manner.

74 Naval Branch.

Mars had just finished his conversation with Gene and was about to invite Gene to have breakfast.

Suddenly, the alarm bells sounded in the base.

Urgent sirens kept sounding.

A few minutes later, the school officer from the port headquarters arrived.

"Major General Jean, a large number of pirate ships have appeared on the sea." The pirate groups that have been identified include, "Hadro Pirates, Blood Scar Pirates, Red Lip Pirates, etc., a total of 7 pirate groups. 12 pirate ships.”

What? Mars and Jean's expressions changed greatly.

"Quick! Notify all navies and prepare to fight."

As Mars' order was issued, the well-trained naval soldiers began to return to their posts.

The defensive artillery at the base and port began to load ammunition and turned their muzzles to face the sea.

Suddenly, the entire naval base began to operate as a battle fortress.

"Major General Jean is going to trouble you this time," Mars said with a heavy tone.

Colonel Mars, "As a navy, it is your duty to fight against pirates, so there is no need to say thank you."

…

On the sea, a pirate ship rides the wind and waves.

He rushed into the naval bombardment range.

"fire!!!"

Mars gave an order, and all the artillery roared in unison.

…
