People In Marine, Kizaru's Nephew, The Wage Thief

Afternoon.

The sun sets.

The golden afterglow of the sunset falls on the horizon. On the spacious streets of Mushroom Town, many vendors have begun to pack up their goods and prepare to close their stalls.

The golden afterglow spreads over the sea outside the port, sparkling like gold.

Marine branch of Mushroom Town.

After what happened this morning, Lu En's reputation in the Marine branch has suddenly changed dramatically.

Throughout the afternoon, any Marine who saw Lu En, or passed by Lu En, smiled and bowed their heads humbly to greet him.

This respectful attitude is much more than that of Colonel Caron.

Lu En himself didn't feel anything about this. As always, he adhered to the attitude of slacking off when he could and being lazy when he could.

In the Marine branch, he lay down from the time he started working until it was almost time to get off work.

No one dared to disturb Lu En.

This made him very satisfied.

It seems that showing off a little at the training ground is still beneficial. Otherwise, even though he heard the chattering of the prisoners around him, it would still affect his mood to some extent.

Just when Lu En was holding a drink in his hand, lying on a rocking chair, crossing his legs and enjoying a comfortable life. Caron heard the news and came all the way to Lu En.

"Colonel Lu En, there is a mission."

Caron said bluntly.

"Ah, it's almost time to get off work."

Lu En pointed to the time and refused reluctantly, "Colonel Caron, as the saying goes, those who are capable should do more work. People like you who are capable should share more worries with others."

"Don't you want to go further? Become a Marine Commodore?"

"People still have to be motivated. In my opinion, Colonel Caron, you just lack an opportunity. If you can complete the tasks assigned by the headquarters beautifully, I believe that you will soon be nominated for promotion to Marine Commodore."

Hearing this,

Caron smiled bitterly.

He said: "I would like to. However, this mission is not ordinary. With my strength, I am afraid I can't do anything. So, the only person I can think of is you, Colonel Lu En."

Lu En was helpless.

Okay.

He was not good at drawing rosy pictures for others.

He wanted to learn from the leaders in the company in his previous life who drew rosy pictures for others and specialized in controlling their subordinates. But now it seems that this set is not suitable for him.

I can only say.

Drawing rosy pictures is also a technical job.

Anyway, Lu En can't learn it.

"Tell me. If the mission is too complicated, then you can just refuse the headquarters."

"I'm just a Marine colonel. If you insist on asking me to deal with monsters like Seven Warlords of the Sea, then I still have sufficient reasons to refuse."

"How much money is paid a month? Dare to ask me to fight with monsters like Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

Lu En explained in advance.

Caron: "..."

Although I knew it a long time ago, Colonel Lu En, you don't have any concept of justice in your heart. But it's not good for you to say this so bluntly.

You are a Marine colonel after all.

Next.

Caron suppressed all the thoughts in his heart and quickly told the truth: "There is news from the headquarters. There is a small island called 'Pinglu Island' about 300 kilometers away from the east of our Mushroom Town."

"The figure of Marine traitor 'X· Drake' appeared on that island recently. Someone from the headquarters suggested that the traitor Drake might have some plans for Pinglu Island."

"Hereby order, notify us who are closest to Pinglu Island first, and go to investigate Drake's whereabouts and conspiracy."

Here, he paused for a moment.

Then,

he told all the information he knew about Drake, the Marine traitor.

"X· Drake, born in North Blue, his father is a Marine officer. But he rebelled against Marine in his early years, became a pirate, and founded a pirate group."

"With the death of his father, Drake became an orphan. In the early years, Drake joined Marine, upheld justice, and destroyed many pirate groups for Marine, and was awarded the rank of Rear Admiral. He is on par with his father, and even better than his father."

"Drake's talent and strength are obviously much better than his father. But unfortunately, for unknown reasons, Drake finally chose the same path as his father, rebelled against Marine, and became a pirate. In addition, he also founded the Drake Pirate Group in North Blue."

"According to the current known information, the fallen Marine Rear Admiral Drake is a Zoan Demon fruit power. He can transform into the ancient species Allosaurus. His strength is very strong."

"Even if you look at North Blue, Drake is also the most dangerous and powerful pirate among the many pirates in North Blue."

"So far, Drake's bounty has reached hundreds of millions of Berry!"

"Even if you put it in Grand Line, a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million Berry, can also be called a great pirate. "

Caron was worried and his face was heavy.

He was not sure about dealing with a great pirate like Drake with a bounty of over 100 million.

So.

He could only ask Lu En to go out and execute the order issued by the headquarters.

To investigate why the Marine rebel Drake suddenly appeared on Pinglu Island and what the other party was planning.

"Drake, the Marine traitor? Zoan·Ancient species·Allosaurus Demon fruit power? The bounty is as high as hundreds of millions Berry?"

"This is really an incredible monster."

"Faced with such a strong monster, why would the higher-ups let a colonel like us be responsible for the investigation?"

Lu En yawned and asked.

The corner of Caron's mouth twitched.

Monster?

Who dares to call himself a monster in front of you, Colonel Lu En?

Like Drake, you are afraid that you can kill him on the spot with one punch.

After thinking for a while, Caron answered truthfully: "The order issued by the headquarters is not for us to take the initiative to capture Drake. We are just responsible for investigating Drake's target."

"As long as we find out Drake's target, once we find out that Drake has a big plot, we can immediately ask the headquarters to dispatch Vice Admiral-level combat forces to capture him."

Lu En showed a lack of interest: "In this case, you can just go and investigate."

Caron was helpless: "But, Colonel Lu En, there are still many matters that need me to review, review and deal with in the Marine branch of Mushroom Town."

"If you are willing to deal with these documents, I can grit my teeth and go to Pinglu Island to investigate the traitor Drake."

At this time, Lu En sorted out the importance of what was important in an instant.

He said: "Ah, then there is no way. Let me investigate traitors like Drake. These documents here in the Marine branch are left to you to handle and review."

In contrast,

Lu En prefers to go out to sea on a warship.

He is very resistant to dealing with those tedious documents in the office.

Besides.

Taking a warship to go to Pinglu Island to investigate Drake, the final result of the investigation is not decided by Colonel Lu En, the Marine?

Lu En naturally does not want to miss this opportunity to fish openly.

Anyway, he only needs to work without putting in any effort.

No one can find fault with it.

Moreover.

If Lu En remembers correctly, Drake, who will be one of the eleven supernovas of the Evil Generation in the future, seems to be an undercover and spy specially planted in the pirates by Marine.

Therefore, Drake will probably not really do some burning, killing and looting.

In this way, the reason why the headquarters ordered to investigate Drake is probably just for show.

Thinking of this, Lu En's mood immediately improved.

"Colonel Lu En, you can go to the branch later and randomly select some Marines to accompany you on this warship to Pinglu Island to investigate the rebel Drake."

Caron kindly reminded.

"Got it."

Lu En nodded.

After a moment.

After explaining the matter, Caron hurried back to the office to deal with the tedious documents that had accumulated for a long time.

Lu En, on the other hand, followed what Caron said. He went to the training ground to call out some recruits and then selected some elite Marines as the main personnel for the sea survey mission.

Lu En needs to carefully select the main personnel such as the helmsman, navigator, and chef.

Secondly.

There is also an adjutant.

The reason for selecting an adjutant is mainly to serve as a substitute for Lu En to take charge of the dispatch of Marines when he is usually slacking off.

When nothing big happens, Lu En just needs to lie down.

As for other things, they are all left to the adjutant to handle.

The main target is a fish in troubled waters and a salary thief.

Time flies.

After all the personnel have been selected, Lu En led about forty or fifty Marines to the coast of the Mushroom Town Port and boarded a brand new medium-sized Marine warship.

As Lu En's order was issued.

Bart was selected to serve as the adjutant for this mission. Yes, it was Colonel Caron's trusted subordinate, Major Bart, who was Lu En's adjutant and the second person in charge of this mission.

Bart, as the adjutant, was conscientious and gave orders to the Marines with a serious face.

All Marines immediately performed their duties.

The helmsman steered the ship,

the navigator observed the weather changes, and mobilized the Marines to start sailing and anchoring.

Soon.

The warship hoisted a Marine flag with the two big words "Justice" engraved on it, and the flag of justice fluttered in the wind.

After a while.

The warship set sail!

Gradually left the port of Mushroom Town.

The destination of this trip was Pinglu Island, 300 kilometers away from the east of Mushroom Town.
