Pirate: I am the nephew of Akainu

Chapter 129 Teach me how to learn swords!
Clearing a battlefield is physical work, especially when you are short-handed.

The warship dispatched all the barges, led by the school officer, to search for the pirates who fell into the water.

Hughes returned to the ship with two famous knives, just as he landed on the deck, Kyle asked worriedly.

"Are you okay, why did you come back now?"

Hughes handed the two famous knives to the navy on the side, and asked him to keep them safe, and then said to Kyle: "The physical exertion is too much, and I can't help you when I come back, so I took a rest outside."

"That's good." Kyle breathed a sigh of relief and reported the results of the battle to Hughes.

"Due to the lack of participation of our army in this war, the members of the Golden Lion Flying Pirates did not have a strong will to resist, and more than half of the pirates escaped."

Kyle felt a little regretful, if the Ten Thousand Pirates could be captured and brought to justice, it would be a very good resume.

The navy has not had such a brilliant record for many years. For the Hughes fleet, their rank is too low, and they urgently need some meritorious service to raise their rank.

This is also impossible.

Due to insufficient numbers, although the navy was the offensive side in this battle, it was also the surrounded side.

Pirates come and go as they please, even if they try to stop them, they are powerless.

Fortunately, it was Hughes who killed the Golden Lion. According to their record, they could be assigned to the big head.

"How about the battle damage?"

Compared with the record, Hughes cares more about the battle damage.

The efforts they made before were to reduce the death of some navies.He doesn't really care about military exploits.

As Chi Inu's nephew, even if Chi Inu doesn't pay for it on purpose, it can be regarded as smooth official luck.

He is younger than Kyle and the others, but he can be promoted to rear admiral at this age, which is not only explained by his strength and diligence.

It will take some years to be promoted to vice admiral, otherwise, at his age, it will inevitably cause some bad remarks in the navy.

When mentioning the battle damage, Kyle's expression also became serious: "53 people were killed in our side, including 21 people from our ship and 32 people from Lieutenant Admiral Yuan's fleet. Nearly a hundred people were injured, most of them were minor injuries, which did not affect Continue to serve."

One Piece World's physical fitness is very outrageous. Generally, as long as the injury is not missing an arm or a leg, it will not affect the combat effectiveness after medical treatment.

The injuries of 53 people are still within an acceptable range.

In a large-scale battle of such a large scale, only more than [-] people died in battle, which can already be called a miracle of war.

This is not only the efforts of Hughes, but also the good and bad pirates recruited by the Golden Lion, which can be called a battle loss ratio of one to one hundred.

Even so, Hughes was still very hurt: "Report their situation to the headquarters, approve the death benefits, and apply for preferential treatment for family members."

These are all welfare measures for the navy, but Hughes feels that they are not enough: "In addition, a sum of money will be paid from the public account of the naval base to give to their families."

Kyle's face showed embarrassment, they had a lot of money in their hands.

Especially after Garr looted Gulan Tezolo, it was said that the kingdoms that were so rich were the kingdoms that were compared with them.

With the wealth in their hands, even if they bought a large kingdom like Alabasta, they still had enough energy to do other things.

But this part of the money cannot be moved, at least it cannot be used to provide for the navy.

Because if you do this, you will be caught by the world government, and it is the most taboo thing to support the army with salary.

Hughes knew this well, so he let Kyle take the public account of the Alabasta Naval Base.

The Alabasta Naval Base is stuck at the entrance of the Great Airway, and it is also close to the Kingdom of Alabasta. There are many places where you can get money.

Kyle has picked up some gray jobs over the years, and still has some visible money in his hands.

Of course, the quotes on the spot are not really from a legitimate source, but they can stand up to other people's investigation without too much trouble.

Kyle asked: "According to the standard of this department?"

Hughes said without hesitation: "Of course, according to the standards set by the Ministry, we will give two pensions."

Kyle sighed softly, this will be a lot of money, and it is not easy to save the money in her hands.

"Okay, I'll deal with it later."

Hughes nodded, and sat cross-legged on the deck, quietly watching the navy that was chasing the pirates.

The hunt for pirates continued until night, and as the sky darkened, the navy gave up hunting for pirates.

Pirates who can reach this time in the sea can also be regarded as lucky enough to escape and ascend to heaven.

Even so, they still captured more than [-] pirates this time. The cells on the warship were filled with pirates, and there was not even a place to lie down.

Kyle used the chart to find a nearby island.

The islands are small and the sandy waterline is too shallow for large boats to enter.

They put down the barge, leaving some people stationed on the warship, and under the leadership of the top officers of the two fleets, they landed on the island.

After going to the island, some veterans of the navy took the recruits to the island to cut firewood, and some soldiers carried the corpses to the beach.

These are the corpses of marines, and the corpses of pirates are still foaming in the sea, which may have entered the mouths of some sea kings.

The sea has a strong self-cleaning ability and will not pollute the environment.

Hughes watched this scene silently. He is also an old man in the navy. It is not the first time he has experienced this kind of thing, but no matter how many times he has experienced it, his heart is still extremely heavy.

No matter which world it is in, soldiers who died in battle cannot return home intact.

"Don't be too sad, there are still many sad things in the future." Taotu came to Hughes and said: "For us, wearing a military uniform is a lifetime, and few people can live to the day they retire."

"If that day really comes, we may have nothing but this military uniform around us."

Yes, maybe on that day, there will be nothing left around.

Hughes thought of Zefa, not only him, but many old people in the navy did not choose to retire, but chose to retire from the front line to continue serving.

They cannot let go of the justice they have carried their whole lives.

They have nothing but justice.

Soldiers who had gone to chop wood returned with firewood, and they stacked it separately and laid out the dead marines separately.

After doing all this, they stood on both sides and waited, waiting for the supreme officer to send these soldiers off in person.

Momotu took the torch from Hina, but Hughes waved his hand and refused.

He came to the woodpile and lit a golden flame in his hand. The golden flame ignited the firewood, and the flame illuminated Hughes' cheek.

What exactly does war bring to people, and is change really that important.

For these people, they throw blood for this dark age, but they cannot get the respect they deserve.

Roger, this is the Age of Pirates you brought.

Perhaps one day in the future, people will lament that Roger created a prosperous world and fired the first shot of change.

But no one would mention that these people who gave silently, let alone remember that the prosperous age also had their share of credit.

Hughes and Momotu walked in different directions and lit stacks of firewood until 53 fires lit up.

The navy on the warship looked at the flames lit up on the beach, when the last flame lit up.

Darcy saluted from the deck and shouted: "All salute!"

Hawkins stood not far behind Darcy. It was not the first time he experienced the death of his companion, but it was the first time he saw his companion off.

It's a unique feeling, it makes people feel very warm, and he feels that he likes it more and more.

Hughes and the others waited on the island until the flames were extinguished, and the navies on both sides took out wooden boxes with the seagull logo and packed the burnt ashes.

After doing all this, they drove the barge away from the island.

The traces left on the beach disappeared under the beating of the waves, and the smoke and dust ignited in the air drifted into the distance with the sea breeze.

In this sea-wrapped world, the sea breeze will bring their thoughts to their relatives in the distance.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Hughes was woken up by the noise.

Looking out through the glass of the cabin, there are people from the nearby naval base.

After the war ended, they notified the nearby naval bases to let them receive the pirates.

Otherwise, with the food supply of their two ships, they can only meet the sailing needs of a thousand people, and if they bring pirates several times more than them, some problems will arise.

Hughes doesn't care about the pirate's life, but he won't kill needlessly either.

Especially when people are hungry, they can do anything.

Is it because I am afraid that they will rebel and make something for me when I am hungry, but the main reason is that I am afraid that they will eat people and eat their own people.

No matter who this kind of human tragedy happens to, it is an extremely sad thing, and it is a trampling on human nature.

Therefore, they will entrust most of the pirates who do not have bounties and fruit abilities to the local navy.

The remaining pirates are not many, and after being tried on Judicial Island, they will be held accountable according to their crimes.

Whether it is thrown into the deep sea prison or sentenced to death is not under the control of Hughes and the others.

The handover procedure went on all morning, and screening took up most of the time.After handing over the last pirate, the base chief who came to escort the pirate came to Momotu.

Hastily saluted, and said with a flushed face:
"Hello Lieutenant General Zhiyuan!"

"I admire you very much, can you sign me up."

When Taotu heard that I admired you very much, she was startled at first, thinking that she was being proposed again, but she was relieved when she heard the follow-up request.

With this tandem foreshadowing, he doesn't care about such trivial things as signatures.

The banknote signed her name like the wind, and when she was about to return the pen and paper to the base chief, she turned her eyes, pulled Hughes aside and said:

"This is the commander of the Palestine Naval Base in Arabia, Major General Hughes of the headquarters. The Golden Lion was killed by him himself. Would you like him to sign for you too?"

After all, Momotu whispered to the head of the base: "He is still the nephew of general Sakaski, and he is the most promising candidate for promotion to general in the future."

The head of the base let out a cry, and then looked at Hughes cautiously, with cold sweat dripping down his head.

Akainu has a bad reputation within the Navy. This is not good, not because his character is bad.

It's that he behaves seriously in the world, and at the same time he is admirable, but at the same time he is worried that he will make mistakes in his hands.

After hearing that Hughes was the nephew of Admiral Akainu, the head of the base thought of his previous behavior and almost felt angry.

"Hello, Major General Hughes." The base chief saluted tremblingly, but he didn't even dare to mention his signature.

Hughes glanced at Taotu and looked at the cautious base chief: "Well, what's the matter?"

The base chief quickly shook his head and said, "No, no."

"That's good. After the handover is completed, let's take people back." Hughes said in a deep voice.

The head of the base was overjoyed, saluted again and said: "Yes, I will take people away."

When the base chief walked away, Taotu pouted and said, "It's really boring, you don't want to tease him."

Hughes shook his head helplessly: "It's not easy, some jokes can't be played."

Momotu knows what Hughes said is reasonable, but her situation is different from others, if she is scared off before starting, she might be the next tea dolphin.

Thinking of the tea dolphin, Taotu felt her head hurt again, it must be the sequelae of the battle with the golden lion, and she wanted to apply for a vacation from the Marshal of the Warring States Period.

Sometimes things are just that wicked.

As soon as Taotu was thinking about the Warring States period, Kyle came over with the phone bug. Looking at the phone bug, it was undoubtedly their dear Marshal of the Warring States Period.

Seeing this, Taotu waved to Hughes, saying that he would not answer the phone.

Hughes rolled his eyes and took the phone bug in Kyle's hand: "Hi, I'm Hughes."

"Well, it's me." Warring States' serious voice came from the phone bug: "I saw the battle report sent back by you. You fought very well. The headquarters will reward you."

Hughes said in a deep voice, "This is what we should do."

"Also, let me ask again, it is very important that you can be sure that the golden lion Shiji is dead."

The Warring States didn't care how many pirates they wiped out and how many pirates they captured. For him, the most important thing was the Golden Lion.

As long as the golden lion dies, the mission is complete.

Hughes nodded and replied: "I'm sure, the remains of the golden lion were burned by me, and his two famous knives are in my hands. He is dead."

"That's good, you can return to the voyage later." Warring States relaxed his tone.

Thinking of the death of the golden lion Shiji, he still felt a little bit sad. There were fewer and fewer guys who survived that era.

Warring States moved his gaze to the desk, which was the world map, and the red earth continent cut the world into two parts.

In the new world, there are four huge pirate flags standing, while in the East China Sea, there is a lion's head.

Taking out the red pen and drawing across the lion's head, Sengoku's eyes fell on the new world, or on the Whitebeard Pirates.

"White Beard, you are the only one left with the remnants of the old days."

On the other side, Hughes received the order to return from the Warring States Period, but before he could tell Taotu the news.

The latter covered his ears and said, "I won't listen, I won't listen, don't tell me."

Kyle covered his mouth and sniggered, Hina held his forehead with one hand, looking like he was having a headache.

Hughes shrugged his shoulders, handed the phone bug to Kyle, and then patted Momotu on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to go back if you don't want to, teach me how to practice swords."

"Practice sword?" Taotu looked Hughes up and down: "You don't look like this material."

Hughes has black lines all over his head, and he also knows that he is not like this material.But you can't just say that.

"Kyle, give me the phone bug, I have something to report to Marshal Warring States."

Taotu grabbed Hughes' arm: "Don't worry, let's make a plan."
