I, the Pirate King of the East China Sea

"Let me introduce myself, I'm NEO Corps Colonel Hikuma..."

"Bacara, you are very good, do you want to consider switching to our NEO Legion to be my man?"

Bacala was slightly startled, then looked at Sun Bear;

"I haven't seen you for such a long time, so you came to see me for this purpose?"

"Of course, I'm... Ri Xiong, I won't lie."

Bacala looked at the sun bear playfully, without nodding or shaking his head, and his attitude was not obvious.

Seeing this, Rixiong followed the original plan and made a bold statement:

"I suppose you remember that brief moment of rejuvenation, Bacala?"

"Rejuvenation?" Bacara's voice suddenly rose a few notches. Although she has a hot body, she is just an adult, but this man used such a word that made her uncomfortable.

"That's right." Rikuma nodded and continued: "What if I told you that you can maintain a youthful state for a long time?"

Bacala was stunned for a moment, and after a while his face changed slightly, realizing Rixiong's intention: "Are you... threatening me?"

"How could it be a threat?" Sun Xiong shook his head slightly:

"To be honest...you are still young, so that devil fruit ability can turn you into a child."

"But imagine, what will happen when you are a little older?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not threatening... All I want to say is: that kind of ability has the opportunity to keep people young forever."

Having said that, Rikuma was satisfied to see Bacala's emotional expression.

Even though she is still a young girl who has just grown up at this time, she still has the fear of aging.

For most women, especially beauties, this is an unstoppable fatal temptation.

"Don't be in a hurry, Bacala, let me take some photos first."

Rikuma nimbly took out the Polaroid camera he had prepared and pressed the shutter on Bacala.

Although Bacala was a little surprised, she had a good sense of the camera, posing in various poses very skillfully, and took pictures.

The photos developed by the Polaroid camera were carefully packed into a small bag by Sun Kuma.

"Okay, I'm done with my work, and it's time to go to the next stop."

"Bacara, you can go with me too."

"Next stop?" Bacala froze suddenly:

"Why are you so proficient? How many women have you used this trick against?"

"Don't smear people's innocence out of thin air, I basically deal with men." Ri Xiong said seriously.

……

After half an hour.

Hypnotist Zangao sat on the chair, looked at the sun bear that appeared in front of him again, and shook his head decisively.

"You should die, Colonel Hikuma."

"Even if I die, I won't get on your boat if I jump from here."

Zang Gao looked firm:

"I will only board Colonel Tina's ship. Where Colonel Tina is, I will be there."

Rikuma didn't say anything, just reached out from his pocket and took out a small bag of photos.

"Is it a picture of Colonel Tina again?" Zangao hesitated for a while, but still shook his head: "This alone is not enough, compared to photos, being able to accompany the real Colonel Tina is the best .”

"is it?"

Rikuma resentfully put the photo back into his pocket.

When he came out this time, in order to win over Zang Gao, he specially brought out Tina's photo as a bargaining chip.

I don't know if Bacala's photos are attractive...

And this time.

"I said... it's time to go, Colonel Rikuma, why bother with this kind of person?"

"It's enough to have me."

Bacala walked over angrily, she didn't want to get involved with the sun bear.

If the sun bear continues to win over other women, it is indeed a bit uncomfortable.

But a character like Zang Gao, as the second person who digs the wall alongside her, Rixiong... She even looks down on him.

It was fine if she didn't speak, but when he spoke, Zangao's eyes lit up, and he, who was sitting upright, couldn't help leaning forward and leaving the back of the chair.

"Colonel Nichikuma," Zang Gao extended his hand to shake Nichikuma's hand: "You also know that I was once a pirate, with taints, and I don't fit in well with the mainstream navy's philosophy."

Zang Gao said emotionally:

"General Zefa, a hero who can forgive pirates and not kill them, is my good home."

Rikuma glanced at Zango and Bacala, and nodded thoughtfully.

This guy is easier to win over than he imagined...

……

Before you know it, it's already afternoon, and the sun is gradually setting.

The two squad members had already been recruited, Rixiong said goodbye to them one after another, and was about to go back to the officer's dormitory.

He has no plans to win over Tina and Smoker.

Their military rank is equivalent to that of the sun bear, even if they dig the wall, it is difficult for the sun bear to command.

At present, what Sun Bear needs is an ability user who can be used in the battle against Whitebeard II three years later.

Whether it is smoke fruit ability Smoker, or threshold fruit ability Tina, neither is the talent that Rikuma needs most at present.

But not long after walking, Ri Xiong stopped in his tracks.

On the beach under the setting sun, he saw a familiar middle-aged man in purple.

"I'm sorry just now."

Fujitora's expression was slightly embarrassed:

"I thought you... I knew that although the old man is blind, his vision is not bad, and I didn't miss it."

He turned his head to look at Sun Bear and nodded.

"The last time I came to West Asia Island, I didn't report my name, but now we meet again."

"The old man's name is Yixiao, maybe in the future, he will become a colleague of Colonel Rikuma."

Fujitora smiled and said:

"I remember, Brother Rixiong, are you still the fan of the Bandit King Sieg?"

Seeger and Fujitora met twice.

Once in the rainy land of the city in Alabasta, and once in West Asia Island as a sun bear.

Although the identities of the two meetings were different, Fujitora ended up helping Seager out of the siege.

"It's just a fan. Now that you're in the navy, you still have a position." Hikuma looked at Fujitora with piercing eyes: "Mr. Yixiao, you didn't enlist in the army because of the world's conscription, did you?"

"Good." Fujitora smiled.

These words made Ri Xiong's eyes brighten up, and his mind moved.

In his impression, Fujitora's concept of justice is also different from that of the mainstream navy, obviously not the same way.

He immediately confessed his ideas and strongly invited Fujitora, who was still an amateur at this time, to join the NEO army.

"You mean, General Zefa who has the reputation of not killing, and the newly established NEO Navy Guerrilla Corps?"

Fujitora was obviously moved, waiting for Hikuma's next words.

Nichikuma also noticed Fujitora's reaction just now, he thought for a moment, and said: "In the navy, everyone has their own concept of justice, and the current concept of justice in the headquarters navy is more radical. If you are sure, you can get a glimpse of the historical strategy."

"Admiral Zefa's concept of justice is not tolerated by others in the navy. He has always adhered to the principle of not killing and will not kill easily. This is his way of justice."

Having said that, Hikuma saw Fujitora frowning slightly.

This is in line with his expectations.

When he was in Alabasta back then, Sig suspected that Fujitora didn't like Shichibukai, that's why he appeared in Crocodel's casino, and now it seems to be the case.

From a conceptual point of view, Fujitora's concept of justice is obviously closer to that of Zefa.

"Secondly, General Zefa is not only the head of the NEO army, but also the head coach of the recruits in the headquarters."

"The recruits are the future of the Navy." Rikuma said:

"Mr. Smile, your devil fruit ability is related to gravity. This devil fruit ability to freely manipulate gravity is simply a perfect match for training recruits."

"Your ability, compared to killing pirates, is more beneficial for educating recruits."

"So I think... joining the NEO Legion and working with General Zefa would be a good choice."

"Slaughter and teach recruits..." Fujitora pondered for a moment, then looked up at the sky that was getting darker.

He is also jealous of evil, but he is not a person who kills indiscriminately.

After being told by Rixiong, he became more interested in General Zefa.

"I'll think about it..." Fujitora replied.

Naturally, he wouldn't make a random decision just because of Rikuma's words, but the idea of ​​meeting Zefa also came to some extent in his mind.

……

Officers' quarters.

Today Ain is still cleaning Rikuma's dormitory.

But when she opened the drawer in the closet, she was slightly taken aback and found nothing.

"The picture of Colonel Tina is missing?"
