Pirates: The Strongest Justice

"Master Marine, thanks to you this time, otherwise our entire village would have died without knowing how."

The village elder burst into tears, tightly grabbing the other person's sleeves with both hands, and even his crutches were thrown aside.

Euphemia was his daughter, but at this time he could no longer care about his sadness.

After all, the whole village almost died because of her daughter's incident.

but……

Buck moved the palm that was firmly grasping his sleeve away little by little, and said expressionlessly:

"Village Chief! Look clearly, I am Buck!! Buck!!"

After saying that, Buck put his freed arm on the village chief's shoulder and quickly turned to Atlas next to him.

"This is Lord Bai Jian!!"

"Ah? I'm so sorry, Mr. Bai Jian, thanks to you this time..."

"You don't need to be so polite. It is our Marine's responsibility to maintain the security within our jurisdiction, and..."

Atlas looked at the old man in front of him who was trying his best to hide the sadness in his eyes, shook his head, and continued:

"I am deeply sorry for not saving your daughter in time."

"...Master Marine, you!"

The villagers and the village chief were stunned, they didn't expect it.

Bai Jian, who is the most powerful Marine, would actually lower his status and apologize to powerless civilians like them!

In an instant, a warm feeling flowed through my heart, and finally came out of my eyes! !

"Baijian Admiral, you are so... so gentle!!!"

"Wow——!! Thinking of what we said to you before, it makes us ashamed!!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Admiral Baijie, I'm so sorry that we said such rude words to you before."

The village chief and the villagers behind him burst into tears.

Although they had been controlled by Katrin Diemei's fruit power before, the memories of that time were accurately stored in their heads.

Every time they think about it, they feel ashamed.

"White Admiral! Can I join Marine?"

Buck suddenly shouted loudly, even drowning out the howls of the villagers.

"——?!!"

The villagers were immediately shocked and looked at Buck in surprise.

This usually carefree and idle person actually wants to be a Marine?

You know, after joining Marine, you won't be able to do whatever you want like now.

That would kill people! !

"Baijian Admiral, please allow me to join your subordinates!!"

As if he felt the doubtful glances from others, Buck suddenly turned red and said loudly while squeezing his neck.

"Why? Why do you suddenly want to be a Marine?"

Atlas's expression became serious, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Because, I...I don't want to feel as helpless as I am now!!"

Buck almost shouted those last words, and the tears flashing in his eyes were definitely showing his true feelings.

"..."

The villagers were silent on the spot, silently watching Buck, whose eyes were filled with tears but still stubbornly forcing them to roll in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Euphemia's death would bring such a big change to this second-rate man.

"I have felt your determination to become stronger, but not everyone can board my ship!!"

Atlas was unmoved, turned around and walked towards the [White Feng] that was clearly visible in the distance.

But he still gave Buck an opportunity.

"If you can walk to the G-5 base alone in one year, I will allow you to become an official Marine."

To be honest, he still looked down upon Buck at this time.

This is not a fairy tale, but a cruel reality.

There is no such thing as a prodigal son who can be moved and be included in Marine's establishment.

Putting aside the possibility of him being hot-headed.

Based on his strength at this time, rushing to the front line of New World is a complete act of seeking death.

“Also, let Laozi take care of your bad hair!!”

"Yes, sir!"

Buck, who was still a little disappointed, suddenly became energetic after hearing this, and shouted loudly towards the leaving figures of Atlas:

"Don't worry! Admiral Baiji, you will definitely see me at the base in one year!!"

————

The sea breeze blows.

The sea-blue flag fluttered randomly in the wind.

Bai Jianhao.

Atlas glanced at the position ahead. The remaining shipwrecks were drifting with the waves, and scarlet blood was floating in the sea water.

Slowly fade...

Several figures who were still struggling rose and fell, and were finally completely submerged by the frenzy and fell into the cold sea.

"How many batches is this already?"

Atlas frowned, watching the figures in the distance stop struggling, and then looked back at Enel, who was still not satisfied.

"Huh? It seems...it's already the fourth batch?"

Enel was obviously confused by the question and tried uncertainly.

"Idiot, this is the fifth batch!!"

Smoker suddenly appeared and dealt a burst of taunting output to Enel.

"Of course I know, I just said it wrong on purpose!! Bastard!"

"Hey! I think you're just out of your mind!"

"Asshole Smoker, you have the guts to fight for 300 rounds!!"

"Come here, I just didn't have enough fun, so I don't want you to be so arrogant!!"

Amidst the quarrel, the two of them walked towards the school grounds together, obviously intending to have a good exchange of feelings.

"There is indeed something wrong. Even if the number of pirates has increased recently, it is not to such an exaggerated level."

Cyrus rubbed the stubble on his chin, thoughtfully.

You know, the sea is extremely vast, and it is difficult to meet pirates so densely even when patrolling.

Even if they were a bit unlucky, the fact that they encountered five consecutive batches of pirates was really an exaggeration.

The situation on the sea shouldn't be so corrupted yet, right?

"Call Marineford, Sengoku must know something about the situation!!"

Atlas made a prompt decision.

His intuition told him that something big was definitely about to happen here.

It is impossible for Naval Headquarters, which focuses on New World, to know nothing about this situation.

"Marshal Sengoku?"

Cyrus looked blank for a moment, then took out a phone bug from his arms and slowly dialed the number.

There were too many phone bugs on Atlas, and some of the exclusive phone bugs were simply placed directly on Cyrus to act as his temporary communication force.

As for the Smoker guy.

The appearance of Atlas almost completely changed his growth trajectory, causing his character to be quite different from that in the original work.

It's a little bit funny, especially after meeting Enel's eyes.

They have completely become a pair of live treasures on the ship...

"Moxi Moxi~~I am Sengoku."
