Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon in the West Blue

The sea breeze is warm, the blue water is swirling, the seagulls are hovering and flying in the sky, and the fish are playing in the sea.

"The Marine hero Lieutenant Commander Longinus defeated the Black Cloth Pirates. Captain Felix was arrested, waiting for him will be the verdict of justice and trial..." the tall man standing on the deck is reading aloud in a loud and clear voice, surrounded by shouting and applause.

"Lieutenant Commander Longinus is worthy of being a hero of the Marine. It hasn't even been a week since the last time he personally went into danger to rescue the hostages!"

"In contrast to the efficiency of Lieutenant Commander Longinus, the marines stationed in our kingdom are simply the same as waste. I really wonder if all their time and energy is wasted on women's bellies."

"Who says no? I wish Lieutenant Commander Longinus could come to see us in the West Blue."

"Is that marine... named Longinus? Was he the one who saved me at that time?" A small figure around the crowd is also listening intently. The small face is tense and looks very serious.

"Little Irene, do you know that young lieutenant commander too?" The person next to her saw this serious look was charming, so he smiled and joked.

"I do! Uncle Isaac, I also hope to become as powerful as Lieutenant Commander Longinus!" The sweet voice of the little girl made the hearts of many people around who, like children, melt.

"Haha! Let's hope that our West Blue will have one more heroine in the future!"

The people around them are also laughing along. They don't think this little girl can also grow up to be as strong as Lieutenant Commander Longinus.

The little girl shyly ran to the other side of the deck and was relieved to see that no one was watching. She didn't dare appear in the center of attention for long.

"Even Felix as big pirates are defeated, that one marine is powerful. No wonder he gave me the same feeling like the monster with ice at that time!" The little girl looked at the vast sea murmured to herself. It was Robin who had escaped from Sandy Island some time ago and changed her identity to return to the West Blue.

"It is said that the most dangerous place is the safest place. In addition, I have appeared in the Grand Line before. Those people should not expect me to return to the West Blue within a short period!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

When Robin was thinking about where to escape to next, the sea's surface suddenly stirred up huge waves. The ship also began to shake violently, and the ship began to resound with the hysterical hissing of those sailors.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Robin held on to the fence and looked out to sea. In the distance, the skull and crossbones flag was flying, and three pirate ships were lined up and were launching heavy gunfire at the passenger ship they were on.

"Oh no, it's pirates!" In the mind of Robin, although the other party is only a small group of pirates and can not compare with the kind of large pirates on the Grand Line, but this passenger ship she took also looks very ordinary. It is difficult to say whether it can withstand the enemy's attack.

Soon the shelling stopped, but the gloom in Robin's heart did not vanish. She knew very well that this did not mean that the enemy had given up the attack. The pirates had taken all the wealth on this passenger ship as their spoils of war.

The previous shelling was nothing more than a warning!

Perhaps the shelling affected. The big-bellied captain didn't dare to run away and was actually waiting patiently for the pirate ship to approach.

"You guy should be regarded as the most useless captain I've ever seen. You don't even dare to resist, but I have to admit that your cowardice saved all of you because I am Captain Jack, who is destined to become the next Pirate King! Ahahahaha!" The red-haired young man on the pirate ship was laughing maniacally. He was obviously delighted with his "power" of giving up without a fight.

The pirates on the three pirate ships were also laughing. It was certainly the best thing to be able to harvest the booty without bloodshed.

As they listened to the ear-piercing laughter, the guests on the ship were shivering. They were previously so envious of those cases mentioned in the newspapers that the situation of the pirates in the West Blue was just too rampant.

Such as the Happo Navy pirates, as the official power of pirates can appear openly, it can be seen that the situation here has been chaotic to some degree. If it is not because the Buster Call six months ago shocked a wave of West Sea pirates, the case will now be messy more than ten times.

The opposite of the red-haired captain apparently just out of the sea not long ago. This newcomer is always bold and will not be restrained because of the Buster Call, which makes the crew encounter the pirates without any defenses.

Who knows, the captain who looked so easy to bully actually mocked with a smile on his face, "Idiot, I'm just worried about you damaging my ship. After all, it's my old buddy. You can't break it in your hands."

"What?" When he sees that short, fat captain dare to say such words, the red-haired pirate captain only felt his lungs were about to explode, "Damned old bastard. See if I don't take off your skull and fill it with wine!"

"Hahahaha! Captain, it seems we have retreated from the Grand Line so long ago that even such a rookie pirate dares to point his finger at your nose and scold you!" The sailor who had broken one of his hands laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe.

"More than ten years ago, but even those marines didn't dare to talk to us in that tone!" The second mate, with his arms wrapped around him, said in a low voice.

At this point, even the most slow-witted people also found something wrong. It seems that those older men on this ship are bold and simply do not put the pirates in front of them in mind.

"Captain Jones is actually a legendary pirate who has made his way to the Grand Line!" The passengers on the ship thought with a half-excited and half-fearful feeling.

"It is said that nine out of ten ships in the West Blue was a pirate. It seems to be true!" Robin tilted her tiny face, began to look forward to the follow-up progress.

"The Grand Line?" The red-haired pirate captain was stunned, then actually laughed loudly, "So you're a loser who escaped from the Grand Line? Just as well, hand over your chart on the Grand Line, or don't blame me for killing all of you!"

"Looks like it's necessary to teach you, newcomers, to respect your elders!" Captain Jones pulled his pistol from his waist, pulled a gun clumsily, and said in a low tone.

...

The battle was started and ended very quickly!

"Ouch! Ouch! Please be gentle, forgive me, forgive me!" Captain Jones crawled on the ground and begged for mercy. Before, the aura of big pirates was utterly different.

The pirates are also stunned to see what is happening in front of them. Of course, not to mention the ship's passengers.

"Huh? Is this the level of the pirates who retreated from the Grand Line?" The red-haired pirate captain stepped on Jones' head and said with disdain.

"No, no, no, we have not been traveling to any Grand Line at all, much less being pirates." Captain Jones quickly explained, "We just want to use psychological tactics to scare off the captains of the pirates."

"That's what we used to do. We just didn't expect that your mind and spirit is far from those pirates before." Captain Jones said with a veiled pat on the back.

The passengers around are directly slap-up. What's so bold about the method?

Robin covered her face in shame. She had actually been fooled by the other party's exquisite acting skills before. Her heart was ashamed, and at the same time, she was lamenting.

"The West Blue is really a crouching tiger and hidden dragon!"1)
