The Grand Line, on the route to Alabasta.

A merchant ship that travels between the major countries in the first half of the Grand Line is now moving at a constant speed on this route.

Since the great purge of the Sabaody Archipelago, the smuggling industry has been banned on a large scale.

Therefore, those serious guilds and chambers of commerce began to organize manpower and weapons to seize the market that originally belonged to smugglers.

After the emergence of the Cross Guild, those World Government officials who once colluded with smugglers and now often accepted benefits from them gradually disappeared.

At least in the four seas and the first half of the Grand Line, without the suppression of World Government officials and the smugglers' bottom-line shorting of prices, business has developed extremely rapidly.

Originally, those vicious pirates thought that these were just pieces of fat meat.

But on these merchant ships, basically all hired quite high-level armed forces.

Sometimes even several merchant ships act together, and as long as they are crew members, they all carry weapons, which is full of martial virtue.

The final result is that the big pirate groups have no interest in merchant ships, and the small pirate groups do not have enough strength to capture these merchant ships.

Some guilds even hired high-level guards, and would even turn against Tiangang to capture a few pirates with bounties.

The most prominent one is to turn against Tiangang and rob in the opposite direction.

For a time, those not-so-strong pirates actually began to avoid merchant ships, fearing that they would be taken as goods by the other party and directly sent to the navy branch.

And now on this merchant ship, a woman with peach-colored hair is leaning on the railing with her elbows, looking bored at the sea water separated by the merchant ship.

"Hey, Belle-mère, you are here?" The person in charge of the merchant ship came over. She was a sturdy woman in her thirties. "You are really lazy. Nami and Nokiko have been staying in the room by themselves."

"Alas, Sister Sohan, I just found out that raising a child is such a tiring thing..." Belle-mère sighed and then stretched lazily. "After all, I am only 21 years old, and I haven't married or had children yet. I became a mother without any pain... Oh, no, it's not painless. The injuries I suffered on the battlefield at that time were really serious... Sister, you should know my condition at that time, right?"

Souhan, the person in charge of the merchant ship, who was called "Sister" by Belle-mère, also sighed imperceptibly when she heard it.

That was a year ago. At that time, the Chamber of Commerce had not yet transferred her merchant ship to the Grand Line, but was operating on the four seas.

At that time, it was in the East China Sea, passing by the Kingdom of Oikot, which was fighting a fierce battle with pirates.

And Belle-mère was discovered by her at this time.

I didn't intend to care about it, but later I found out that the tattered clothes on Bellemere were navy uniforms, and under the coat that was so dirty that the original color could hardly be seen, there were two children hiding.

So, I just took Bellemere away.

Under Sohan's careful care, Bellemere's injuries gradually healed.

In order to repay Sohan, Bellemere simply did not return to the navy, but became a security guard on this merchant ship.

After all, he was also a person who could get a coat and a cloak in the navy branch, at least a major in the branch, and he was a standout among the security guards of the merchant ship.

"To be honest, I still think that you should have returned to the navy." Sister Sohan looked regretful, "You survived, and based on your military merits, you had the opportunity to be transferred to Rogue Town, or even go directly to the navy headquarters for training!"

As a backbone elite of a large chamber of commerce, Sohan's understanding of various forces is not too deep.

And in her opinion, the latter is even a high probability event.

"You've wasted a bright future. The difference between the security captain of the Navy Headquarters and the captain of the caravan is huge."

"Ahaha, look at what you said, Sister Sohan. If I can really go to the headquarters for training, who will take care of Nokiko and Nami?" Bellemere smiled, without any regret on her face. "At least the salary of our Chamber of Commerce is much higher than that of the Navy. It's very expensive to raise two children."

Seeing Bellemere say this, Sohan could only sigh.

Bellemere...

It would be better if the regret in his eyes was not so obvious when he said this.

"Okay, the relaxation time is over! It's time to go back to the hell of raising children!"

Bellemere turned around and was about to walk into the cabin.

The next moment, several shells landed on the deck, smashing through the deck directly, followed by a violent vibration!

"Sister Sohan! Enemy attack!"

"No explosion! It's a solid shell! It's aimed at the cargo.Pirates are coming!"

Sister Sohan finally managed to stabilize her body amidst the shock, and then she heard Bellmère's voice.

"Isn't it said that there are very few pirates on this route to Alabasta! ? "

"Few doesn't mean none!" Bellmère rushed forward and supported Sister Sohan, "Okay! Stop talking! Go to the cabin to take care of Nami and Nokiko, and leave the rest to me!"

"Okay! Be safe!" Sister Sohan did not hesitate. Although she looked strong, she knew nothing about fighting. "Try to focus on defense! We are very close to Alabasta! I heard that Alabasta loosened its stance two years ago and allowed the navy to establish a naval branch in Alabasta! At this distance, they should be able to find and rush over! "

After saying that, he had already rushed to the cabin with his back bent, but when he ran, he performed a unique skill of tripping over his left foot with his right foot and fell directly into the cabin.

Bellmaire smiled bitterly and shook his head. His enviable strong body had the weakest motor nerves...

Isn't this contrast just pure cuteness?

But even though he complained, he ran towards the security room where the weapons were stored without hesitation.

"Big sister Bellmaire!"

"Pick up your weapons, the bombardment has stopped! The other party will soon approach and board!"

"Yes!"

Although Bellmaire is young, she is quite prestigious on this merchant ship.

Those big and strong men also obey her.

"This is the first time we have been attacked in the Grand Line! We must be extremely careful!"

"This is... after all, it's not the four seas. "

People who originally lived in the four seas have always been somewhat afraid of the Grand Line.

After all, the danger of the Upside-Down Mountain alone is still fresh in people's memory.

After Bell-Mel finished his instructions, he rushed out of the security room with everyone.

But...

No enemy was seen.

Instead, a man with wings on his back fell from the sky in mid-air.

And what he was wearing was...

Navy uniform!?

"Hello, I am Michael, the head of the Alabasta Navy Branch."

"The looters have been controlled by our side. Are any of you injured?"
