Chapter 170 The Peaceful World Takes Shelter Under The Wings Of The Powerful
As the birth and death place of former One Piece Gore D. Luo Jie, the town of Rogge has been endowed with a unique nickname by the people of this sea: the town of the beginning and the end!
This nickname symbolizes that the era of rampage is in this place, and the reincarnation of the beginning and the end is going back and forth!
Because of this unique meaning, Rogge Town has extraordinary significance in the eyes of the World government!
And besides that!
The town of Rogge has won more attention from the Marine with its unique location!
It's East Blue near the entrance to the Grand Line!
It is also the place where pirates enter the Grand Line except Calm Belt!
If the pirates passing through here can be banned, not only can the arrogance of the pirate forces be suppressed, but also the new pirate forces pouring into the Grand Line and New World can be reduced by at least 20%!
Therefore, after various considerations, Naval Headquarters specially arranged for a white hunter, Smoker, who is not high in military rank but capable of strength, to guard here!
After Smoker takes office, it's ya!
He almost captured all the East Blue pirates who tried to enter the Grand Line through Rogge Town, and caused the income of the weapon shops and other shops in the town that used to focus on pirate business to plummet!
On the contrary, in the eyes of the common people in Rogge Town, the evil-faced and kind-hearted White Hunter is surprisingly popular!
"173" Rogge Town Wharf, there are always people coming and going and logistics in the daytime!
A sharp-eyed, crew-cut porter unloaded a package of goods, and was twisting his waist to take a rest, when he suddenly noticed something appeared at the end of the sea level!
After observing carefully for a while, he suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted loudly!
"Look! It's Captain Smoker's warship back!"
When other people on the pier heard about it, they stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction pointed by the flat-headed porter!
At this moment, the sun near noon is hot, shining the white light reflected in the sea water, making people squint subconsciously!
But it can be vaguely seen that there are indeed five dark-colored warships surrounded by a big golden-red ship, and they are heading towards the pier of Rogge Town. With the surging waves, they are getting closer and closer!
"That's right! It's the ship of our Rogge Marine!"
"Looks like Colonel Smoker has caught another pirate!"
"Of course, let me tell you, Colonel Smoker can turn into smoke, no pirate can escape Colonel Smoker's capture!
"Thanks to Colonel Smoker, the town of Rogge is now the safest place in all of East Blue!"
"But if that's the case, when will my dream of going to sea come true!"
"Hahahaha! Kid, cherish the present moment! When you meet a plundering pirate, you will know that a peaceful life is precious now!"
The sounds on the pier broke the quiet atmosphere one after another, from small to large, it gradually became noisy!
After the workers sighed for a while, he continued his busy work!
Only the unconscious smiles at the corners of their mouths, and the subconsciously proud tone of Marine when they mentioned Rogge Town, showed the status of Smoker and others in their hearts!
Listening to their words, we can know that this is not the first time Smoker has captured pirates and returned home!
Watching Smoker catching pirates passing by the pier is a rare pastime for them after work!
And at the corner of the pier, there is a tall watchtower!
Maybe it's because it stands there every day and doesn't usually pass by, so the dock workers didn't pay too much attention to it!
At this moment, the sailors on duty on the watchtower dialed the landline number leading to the Marine branch base in Rogge Town while everyone was discussing, "Report the situation of the return journey of the Smoker fleet that was observed!
Soon after!
"Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!"
A group of dozens of Marine soldiers with neat military appearance suddenly ran and appeared at the entrance of the pier!
The chief non-commissioned officer was a black-haired woman with red-rimmed near-sighted eyes. When she arrived, she first looked at the sea with a serious expression. Seeing that the warship and the big golden-red ship were still some distance away from the pier, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief!
Then immediately shouted at the workers around!
"Attention everyone!!!"
"Attention everyone!!!"
"Attention everyone!!!"
After three consecutive beeps, let everyone at the dock focus on her!
"I am Branch Marine Staff Sergeant Tashigi!"
"There will be extremely powerful pirates coming to Rogge Town soon!"
"As Marine, we will stand behind you to the death!"
"But for safety's sake, please go back to the town and take refuge immediately!"
Tashigi opened her mouth quickly and finished her words at an almost babbling speed, then gestured backwards with a glance, and the sailors she brought immediately dispersed to the entire pier to maintain order!
Under the protection of Smoker, the townspeople of Rogge haven't met pirates for a long time!
Now hearing Tashigi, a familiar Marine officer, say something so serious, there was a moment of silence, and then it exploded!
"Pirate???"
"Master Tashigi! Are you right?"
Some people couldn't believe it, subconsciously asked!
"That's Captain Smoker's ship! I watched them go out to sea!"
"Could it be.....even.....even Colonel Smoker failed!!!"
"Everyone, run away!!!"
Someone screamed and dropped the cargo and ran towards the town of Rogge!
"Sergeant Tashigi, I want to stay and fight with you!"
There are also people who are strong and strong, volunteering to guard their homes!
"Me too! My home is in the town, and we must not let pirates enter Rogge town!"
There was a lot of chaos in the field, and Tashigi, who had never dealt with this kind of situation, was stunned for a while!
She pushed her eyes, and subconsciously wanted to find Colonel Smoker to solve the problem!
But when he raised his head and looked around, he realized that he was the only one with the biggest official position in front of him!
Tashigi gritted his teeth, encouraged himself secretly, stepped onto the wooden stakes fixed on the pier with one step, and took the situation in the arena under his eyes!
"All sailors! Maintain order on the scene! Organize everyone to return to Rogge Town!"
She immediately issued an order to the sea soldiers to stabilize the emotions of these cornerstones!
Then, you have time to respond to those around you!
"Everyone!"
"What I said is indeed the truth, so please make sure there are no flukes!"
"Follow the team immediately and return to Rogge Town together!"
"In addition, those who want to participate in the battle and defend their homeland, please return to Rogge Town and get ready for battle!
"We have sailors there to organize a second backup line of defense, please follow orders when you get there!"
"Now, please don't stay here any longer, preventing us from preparing for battle!"
The subconsciously questioning workers reacted after hearing it, and immediately ran towards Rogge town screaming!
The workers who wanted to join the battle also returned to Rogge town unwillingly!
After persuading these hard bones, the whole pier was like an ant's nest poured with a pot of boiling water, and everyone swarmed out, leaving in an instant and cleared up!
On the huge Rogge Town Dock, only Tashigi and dozens of sailors are left lined up on the shore, waiting for the arrival of unpredictable fate!
Seeing the dark warship with the big golden and red ship getting closer, Tashigi's thoughts flowed instinctively!
not long ago!
In the phone bug, Smoker told Tashigi about everything he encountered after going to sea!
Only one point is emphasized!
Let her evacuate the people, and not pass the risk of Marine to the townspeople of Rogge Town!
When necessary, the danger of the "bamboo sword" can even be exaggerated to intimidate the people to take refuge!
After all, panic can be dealt with later, but a dead person cannot be revived!
After Tashigi hung up the phone, he immediately divided the sailors at the branch base into two parts!
Half of them stayed in the town to maintain order, and half of them went to the pier to deal with "Bamboo Sword" and "Little Thieving Cat"!
As for reporting to the headquarters?
Smoker has already reported to the headquarters through the phone bug on the ship!
I guess they are adjusting the bounty!
If the "Bamboo Sword" is really as strong as Smoker said, Tashigi thinks he won't be able to wait for the next phase of rewarding gold!
60 million Pele?
Smoker was full of confidence before going to sea!
In the end, he was cheated by the headquarters again!
Thinking of this, Ince couldn't help imitating Smoker and secretly cursed the headquarters!
"A group of drunks and rice bags!"
As a Logia Demon fruit power, Smoker's strength is actually not bad!
According to the observation of Tashigi’s training in the headquarters, his strength should be between Rear Admiral and Vice Admiral in the headquarters, and he can send pirates with the strength of Changjin’s market down to about 100 million to fight back and forth!
After all, Logia's elemental advantages are too great!
Although it is said that it can be hit by Armament Haki, in fact, in battle, as long as the fruit capable person can react, he can elementalize and transfer the body in advance!
The armed color on the opposite side can only be empty!
And the speed of the elemental transfer body is positively related to the flow speed of the elements, as well as the reaction speed of the capable person!
Therefore, unless it is overwhelming combat power, Logia's ability users can at least remain undefeated!
And if the opponent has a slight weakness, a person with Logia ability can directly seal the victory!
This year's Marine Logia three Admiral, relying on fruit ability to leave a great reputation in the sea!
Counting down to 3.4, except for the king-level big pirates, or the three Admirals who deliberately released water, everyone who meets them can easily be caught in jail!
A rare Logia capable person, and extremely related, was at least serving as a guard on the Grand Line!
It's a pity that his going his own way is really giving Naval Headquarters high-level headaches!
This guy has absolutely no idea of the art of politics!!!
There are too many people offended in this department!
Under the excitement of the crowd, in order to keep this Logia seedling, after careful consideration, the headquarters can only let him avoid the edge for the time being!
Half devolved, half sharpened, the famous White Hunter started his career as a colonel in the town of Rogge!
these years!
Smoker is in control, and he can fight pirates if he wants to. In Tashigi's opinion, he is more comfortable than living in the headquarters!
But right now, Smoker has brought a big problem to Marine in Rogge Town!
Could it be that "blessings and misfortunes depend on each other"?
Tashigi was fascinated by watching the dark warship enlarge in his field of vision, and his thoughts gradually retracted!
"Woo!!!"
The siren is sounding!
The fleet docks!
Tashigi took a deep breath, clenched Xiaoye Shiyu tightly in his hand, and waved his hand to call the sailors to come forward!
"Everyone line up!"
"Ready to fight!!!".
