I am brushing up materials in One Piece

After the captain was knocked down by Ace, the rest of the Black Cat Pirates all lost their will to fight. In addition, they also witnessed Ace's elemental body that made them invincible, so they They all dropped their weapons and performed a French military salute.

Not long after, the navy warship also completely approached, and dozens of sailors boarded the pirate ship. Some of the sailors simply bandaged Monka and other injured navy soldiers and transported them back to the warship, while the other part carried the Black Cat Pirates' The pirates locked him up in shackles and took him to the warship.

After all the injured sailors and pirates on the pirate ship were taken away, Kos found a rope and pulled Deus up from the Charger.

An elderly navy man wearing a coat of justice who looked to be in his sixties or seventies walked directly from the warship to the three of Kos.

"On behalf of all the Marines in Branch 153, I, Reggie, would like to thank these three for their help."

Reggie bowed respectfully to Ace.

The dozen or so sailors who jumped directly onto the pirate ship were all the elites on the warship, but they were instantly killed by Crowe alone. If Ace had not appeared, it would be difficult for anyone to survive.

Therefore, Ace has a real life-saving grace for these navy.

"Don't rush to thank you."

Kos sneered, which made Reggie feel a little scared, fearing that they were also people with bad intentions.

But what Kos said next made him understand that this was just a harmless joke.

"The rules of the river and lake are that we share half of the treasure when we meet, and half of the treasure on this pirate ship belongs to us."

On the sea, there is never a rule of dividing half when meeting. Once out of the sea, the principle of winner takes all is followed. If it is divided equally, the winner will divide the spoils among himself. Loser marines like Reggie don't even have the right to eat leftovers. They should even give Ace a thank you money for his help.

"Just kidding, everything on this pirate ship is your loot, and the total bounty of the Black Cat Pirates, totaling more than 30 million Baileys, is also yours."

"Is this really good?"

As a pirate, Ace is not opposed to plundering wealth from his "peers", but now he feels that he has robbed the navy of prey, and ended up keeping all the loot to himself, and he can also get the bounty, which makes him always I feel like I've taken advantage a little too far.

"How about half for one person?"

In the end, all the possessions of the Black Cat Pirates belonged to Ace, and the reason was simple - too little!

After searching the pirate ship inside and out, they only found two to three million beli in cash, and there was absolutely no high-value items such as gold and jewelry.

At this time, Kos finally understood why Crowe wanted to seek Koya's family property. After all, the Black Cat Pirates were too poor, and even if he faked his death and lived in seclusion, he would not be able to live the wealthy life he wanted.

And the reason why a "big" pirate actually got to this point is not difficult to guess. There are twenty or thirty people in the Black Cat Pirates, and the food and drink expenses alone are quite a lot. Even if the pirate group's source of income depends entirely on robbery, there are not always fat sheep on the sea. Even if a large amount of treasure is snatched, there will be basically nothing left after the whole ship has eaten, drank and had fun for a few days.

By the way, while searching for the wealth on the pirate ship, I also found an unlucky guy who was 70% similar to Crowe. It seemed that Crowe had brought him in as a scapegoat.

After burning the pirate ship of the Black Cat Pirates, Kos and Deus boarded the naval warship and headed towards the 153rd Naval Branch, while Ace continued to drive the Stormtrooper and ride the wind and waves aside.

There were no further accidents on the way to the 153rd Naval Branch. When they landed on land, the faces of the navy soldiers showed expressions of relief.

“Finally back safely”

Reggie also breathed a sigh of relief when the remaining navy soldiers boarded the ship to pick up the injured soldiers. After seeing the curious look from Kos, he smiled and explained,

"No matter what happens at sea, it is not surprising, so you must not take it lightly before landing. This is what I have learned from my experience in the navy for so many years."

"I wholeheartedly agree."

Cos said he couldn't agree more. His first sea voyage that ended in being hit by a cannonball was the best explanation for Reggie's words.

"If possible, I really don't want to go to sea again. The sense of security brought by being down to earth is what I want most."

"It's not like a young man to be so unmotivated."

Reggie smiled and shook his head and said,

"I'm afraid your two companions don't think so, and the natural boy probably wants to be a pirate, right?"

After hearing this, Coston's expression suddenly changed. He had obviously told Ace repeatedly not to talk about pirates, but in the end, he still saw it.

Seeing Kos's vigilance, Reggie waved his hand to signal him not to be nervous.

"Don't worry, we won't repay kindness with enmity, and to me, simple and passionate children like you are not pirates. Although I don't know what the higher-ups think, I will not treat you as enemies."

As he spoke, Reggie suddenly stretched out his hand to greet a navy soldier with dark brown skin and a square black beard around his mouth.

"Sergeant Ryder, this man and his companion are our benefactors. Take them to take a good bath and rest."

During the time on the isolated island, although the three of them still cleaned their bodies frequently, there was no soap, shower gel, etc., and there was no change of clothes, so now besides Ace, who can transform into flames, there is no one else. There was still a strange smell on both of them.

"Hey!"

"Yo!"

Ace and Deus jumped into the bath like children.

However, as soon as Ace entered the bathhouse, he immediately turned into a bass that had lost its dream, floating powerlessly on the water.

"Can't you be a little self-aware? Now you are a devil fruit user, and you still eat burning fruits. I might just find a basin and drown you."

Kos, who had a bath towel wrapped around his waist, looked at Ace floating on the bathtub like a corpse in silence.

"I~ know~ know~"

There seemed to be a little joy in Ace's feeble answer, and he seemed to like taking a bath.

"Deus, please make sure he doesn't drown. I'm going out first."

"Why don't you take a dip for a while?"

At this time, Deus put the blindfold aside. What can I say about him under the mask? He looked somewhere between handsome and ordinary. It wasn't very stunning, but it was quite attractive.

"No, I don't have this habit. Taking a shower is refreshing enough."

Kos turned and walked towards the bathroom door. He stopped halfway and said,

"Although we are told to use it as we please, you'd better wash it quickly. After all, if we keep the place reserved, others won't be able to wash it."
