Pirate: This general is a bit drifting!

Simi looked at Bartolomeo who was kneeling on the ground with his hands on his face and an exaggerated expression.

The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

After three years of not seeing each other, this green algae head is still the same.

But Ximu still explained a few words.

"You know, I never wanted to be a gang boss. My dream is to become the strongest person in the world."

Nishiki once again expressed his dream in front of Bartolomeo: "The Navy can help me realize this dream faster."

With that said, Ximu stretched out his hand in front of Bartolomeo who was kneeling on the ground.

"How about you, do you want to continue to follow me and witness the pinnacle of this world together?"

Seeing Ximu's sincere smile, Bartolomeo burst into tears.

"I knew that Boss Ximu was still such an ambitious man."

Standing up again, Bartolomeo asked with great excitement.

"Boss Nishiki, do you want to become the King of the Navy?"

What is the Navy King?

Listening to what Bartolomeo imagined, Ximu felt dumbfounded.

Green algae head's brain circuit is always so strange.

"Uh-huh, almost."

Seeing the strange look in Ximu's eyes towards him, Bartolomeo's heart tightened, feeling that something bad was going to happen.

As expected, I then heard Ximu say: "Then we have decided that you will join the navy tomorrow and follow me to catch pirates on the Grand Line."

huh~~~

That's it.

Bartolomeo let out a sigh of relief and immediately agreed.

"No problem, Boss Ximu, the Grand Line is really a place that makes people look outside."

His eyes were sparkling. The Grand Line was the place he dreamed of conquering. He originally planned to form a pirate group with Nishiki after unifying the underworld in Rogge Town.

But for Boss Ximu, even if he goes to sea and becomes a navy, it’s not a big deal.

In this way, Ximu settled Bartolomeo at home.

Silent night, the next morning.

Dasqi knocked on Ximu's door.

It was Bartolomeo who opened the door.

Seeing the door opened by a green algae head full of fangs, Taschi immediately took out Shigure and became cautious.

"Who are you? Why did you appear at Lieutenant Ximu's house?"

To be honest, Bartolomeo doesn't really look like a good person, so it's understandable why Daschi would be wary.

But when Ximu appeared behind Bartolomeo, she was relieved.

"His name is Bartolomeo. He is my former partner in Rogge Town. He came to me yesterday and said he would go out to sea with us to catch pirates. I thought that there is strength in numbers, so I agreed."

"is that so……"

Dasqi's eyes were filled with confusion. She always felt that this green algae head looked familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

"That's right." Dasqi suddenly remembered something and said to Ximu quickly.

"The appointment from the Navy Headquarters has been sent back. Colonel Smoker ordered us to set off today without further delay."

Is it so efficient?

Nishiki looked surprised. He thought it would take several weeks before the appointment to the Navy Headquarters was officially issued.

Recalling that the last time his second lieutenant was promoted, it was also very efficient, Xi Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It is truly a righteous navy, backed by the World Government. This background is indeed not comparable to that of the pirate forces.

"Then let's set off!" Ximu said immediately with a solemn look on his face.

Then he asked Bartolomeo next to him: "Do you have anything else to solve?"

Bartolomeo shook his head and said: "I made arrangements before I came to see Boss Ximu. I will hand over all the gangsters in Rogge Town to Dezaya."

Gangster! ! !

Hearing this word, Dusky reacted immediately, drew out Shigure again, pointed it at Bartolomeo, and said warily.

"Teacher Ximu, please be careful. He is the famous underworld leader in Rogge Town. He has more than 50 streets under his banner. He is a very dangerous person."

Hearing these words, Ximu and Bartolomeo looked at each other, and Bartolomeo couldn't help pointing at himself and laughing loudly.

"Am I considered a dangerous person in front of Boss Ximu? Hahahaha."

Ximu rubbed his brow and said helplessly.

"Put away your weapons, Daschi. Bartolomeo is trustworthy. Believe me, he will play an important role in our capture of Ace."

"good."

Bartolomeo affirmed Ximu's words loudly.

"I, Bartolomeo, am very strong."

As he spoke, Bartolomeo placed his middle finger on his index finger, and then crossed his hands on his chest.

"Protective barrier!"

With Bartolomeo's roar, a transparent barrier suddenly rose.

"Hahahaha, this barrier of mine cannot be broken by anyone. Believe me, with my joining, catching little Ace is not a piece of cake."

Bartolomeo said proudly as he saw the barrier that Daschi cut down with his sword but remained motionless.

Turning around, he saw Ximu's expression full of helplessness.

"Boss Ximu, aren't you surprised?" Bartolomeo was a little confused. He had become a Devil Fruit user.

The next moment, he suddenly realized.

I saw wisps of black energy emanating from Xi Mu's body.

"It turns out, Boss Ximu, you have also become an esper!"

Bartolomeo praised, and removed the barrier with a release of his hands.

Seeing this scene, Dasqi was finally convinced that the green algae-headed gang leader really knew Mr. Ximu and had a close relationship with him.

Now she was confused.

Mr. Nishiki is such an upright marine, how could he know a gang leader like Bartolomeo?

But before she thought too much, she saw Ximu already walking on the way to the dock, so she quickly followed.

By the pier.

Colonel Smoker had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Ximu arriving late, he couldn't help but complain a little.

"Second Lieutenant Ximu, you came really late. You still need me to ask Dasqi to call you."

"Sorry sorry."

Ximu touched his head and apologized repeatedly. He really didn't expect that the appointment of the Navy Headquarters would come so quickly.

When Smoker saw the green algae head following Ximu clearly, he immediately asked with a focused look.

"Lieutenant Ximu, why are you with Bartolomeo?"

"Oh, him. After I saw him yesterday, I felt that he was a malleable talent, so I roped him into the navy."

"is it?"

Smoker's eyes showed deep suspicion. He didn't believe a word Ximu said at this time.

But he didn't want to worry about it anymore.

He, Smog, is finally going to send this black-faced monster out of Rogge Town. I believe that in the coming days, Rogge Town, which he guards, will be able to feel a little more relaxed.

Every time he recalled Ximu's resume, he felt a chill deep in his heart.

If it's just a resume, that's it, but the reality is often more exaggerated than the resume.

He couldn't bear the fact that he was a big pirate every day.

Watching Ximu and others board the warship and gradually move away, Smoker let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally he was sent away.

……

I don’t know how long the voyage took.

Looking at the towering Inverted Mountain in the distance, Ximu burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, Grand Line, I, Ximu, am coming!!!"

"Ace, are you ready to be arrested and imprisoned by me?"
