Beyond the door is One Piece

Zhou Qixian went home and changed his clothes. It was his navy captain's uniform.

Captains generally don't have cloaks, but because of his special status, he also wears an extra one.

"Have I grown taller?" Zhou Qi looked at the pants that reached his ankles. They were just right when he measured them, so why are they not long enough now?

I took out a ruler and measured it, 1.81!

"It's five centimeters longer!"

But it’s okay to show your ankles. These are also a style of pants.

I straightened my hair and looked in the mirror.

Mmm, perfect!

Smoker still has no problem managing the navy. At least when he walks on the street wearing a military uniform, he is greeted with envious and loving looks, similar to the way Chinese people look at their young soldiers.

Enter the base, go upstairs, and knock on the door.

"Come in!" Smoker shouted.

"You actually know how to knock on the door?" Smoker mocked when he saw it was Zhou Qi.

"I'm very polite, okay!" Zhou Qi was speechless, but thinking about it again, he seemed to have always opened the door directly before and never knocked on the door.

"Don't blame me, you are the same, and you can actually correct documents? Why don't you go out to catch pirates?" Zhou Qi asked.

"I am a naval colonel. Is it any wonder that I can correct documents?" Smoker said: "And there is more than one lieutenant general in the East China Sea now. How can any pirate dare to show up at this time!"

"Lieutenant General? Who is it, Garp?" Zhou Qi knew that Garp was from Donghai and would come back every year to take care of his grandson.

"Yes!" Smoker nodded: "After all, it is 8000 kilograms of gold. Lieutenant General Garp is coming to the East China Sea, so let him escort it by the way!"

"Is gold rare?" Zhou Qi asked.

After all, on the other side of the world, the total gold reserves of China and the United States are only 1 tons.

Zhou Qi takes 8 tons each time, which means that the output of Zhou Qi's factory in three and a half years can empty out the gold reserves of two countries.

How much gold does the navy have? Can it withstand it?

"Of course gold is scarce!" Smoker rolled his eyes: "But you can rest assured that your money will not be lost. Our navy also values ​​credibility when doing business!"

"Okay, by the way, where is Dasqi?" Zhou Qi asked again, why didn't he see her?

"They're burning something outside!" Smoker pointed out the window. Zhou Qi looked over and saw Dasqi sitting on the edge of the school ground. There was a fire in front of him and various sundries beside it.

"What are you doing, developing devil fruits?" Zhou Qi asked.

"Yeah, it's because of the redox you mentioned, she's been like crazy these past two days, studying it day and night!" Smoker said.

"Um, has anything been researched?" Zhou Qi asked.

Devil Fruits are more idealistic. Although Dasqi doesn't know what redox is, as long as she has the mind to develop it in that direction, she might actually be able to develop something.

"That's right!" Smoker pointed to a small table next to him: "That's it!"

Zhou Qi leaned over and took a look. It was a solid wood table, but there was a dent in the middle, which seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

"Burned?" Zhou Qi asked.

"It's corroded." Smog said, "I don't know the specifics, but when I turned around to look, the area had turned into black powder, and I didn't see any flames."

"That's almost the beginning." Zhou Qi nodded. Flame is a way of expressing the redox reaction, but after all, it is not the redox reaction itself. No one knows whether it can develop that kind of effect.

But as long as it can be developed, the upper limit of this fruit will be greatly improved.

After all, ordinary flames can only burn things like wood, cotton, paper, and plastics, but oxidation-reduction reactions can burn steel and gold, and the flame temperature generated when burning metal is also extremely terrifying.

For example, the burning temperature of aluminum can reach 2500~3500c, and the burning temperature of magnesium can reach 4500c.

"So what are you doing here? If you want to find Dusqi, you can leave. I have something else to do here!" Smoker said impatiently.

"Oh, it's business!"

"what's up?"

"Looking for you to kill someone?"

"Kill who?"

"mouse."

"Rat?" Smoker was stunned: "Are you kidding? You need my help to catch a mouse?"

"This is his title. I don't know what his real name is. I only know that he is the colonel of the 16th branch of the navy!" Zhou Qi explained.

"Huh?" Smoker was speechless: "Zhou Qi, you don't know that I am also a navy, and you want me to kill the navy?"

"The Evil Dragon Pirates oppressed the people, ruled more than 20 villages, and collected taxes based on head count. And his location is the jurisdiction of Colonel Laoshu!" Zhou Qidao: "Should such a navy be killed?"

"Is there such a thing?" Smoker was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up and walked to the map, finding the location of the 16th branch.

Sure enough, there are no big countries around here, only a few small countries with small territories, and hundreds of autonomous villages and towns that are not under the jurisdiction of small countries.

"This matter has been going on for six years now!" Zhou Qidao: "There was a navy named Bellemere who adopted two orphans and lived in Orange Town. He was killed six years ago because he resisted Aaron. .”

"Belmeier..." Smoker didn't recognize him, but what Zhou Qi said was so true that it didn't look like a lie.

And he knew that in order for the fish-man Jinbei to become the Shichibukai, the World Government pardoned a number of pirates from the Sun Pirates, including a pirate named Aaron.

This Aaron has disappeared. Smoker thought they had gone back to the bottom of the sea, but unexpectedly, they were actually wreaking havoc in the East China Sea?

After thinking about it, Smoker took out two phone bugs first.

One was handed to Zhou Qi: "I applied for this from the Navy for you to facilitate our transactions."

The other one put it on the table, then took out a phone book, flipped through it for a while, and pressed the button to broadcast.

After a while, Smoker said: "I am the commander of the Rogue Town base, Colonel Smoker of the Navy Headquarters. There is news that the Aaron Pirates have appeared in your jurisdiction. Colonel Mouse, have you received the news? "

"No, Colonel Smoker!" The phone bug turned into a wretched naval colonel: "Our 16th branch area has always been peaceful, and we have never seen any pirates."

"Really!" Smoker nodded: "It seems to be false news. That's it. I'm sorry to bother you."

"It's okay, it's all for the peace of the East China Sea. By the way, Colonel Smoker, if you have time..."

Smoker hung up the phone directly and looked at Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi looked calm and did not panic at all: "Why, do you still expect him to tell the truth?"

Smoker was silent, and he didn't know who to believe.

After all, he instinctively didn't want to believe that he had such corrupt colleagues around him.

"Actually, it's very simple to verify. Orange Town and the surrounding villages all grow oranges, and they cooperate with many chambers of commerce. Those merchants know everything about the situation above."

Even Tanis, who is not an orange seller, knows about this, let alone the merchants who cooperate with Orange Town.

It's impossible for Aaron to stop merchants from going to Orange Town. Otherwise, if the oranges can't be sold, who will he ask to collect taxes?

Smoker knocked on the table, then raised his head and shouted: "Someone, go to the town and call some of the big orange merchants!"

Looking at Zhou Qi: "What is your purpose? Aaron is not a Devil Fruit user!"

"Look at what you said, I am completely motivated by the simple moral values ​​of an ordinary person. Aren't my values ​​​​good enough?!" Zhou Qidao.

Smoker shook his head: "Since the day you deceived Dusqi, I will never trust you again!"

"Okay!" Zhou Qi spread his hands: "Because my Chamber of Commerce wanted to build a transit warehouse in Orange Town, and then I found a group of pirates entrenched there, that's all!"

"Really?" Smoker frowned: "Is it that simple?"

"It's that simple!" Zhou Qi nodded: "Of course, we may recruit some employees on the island in the future, but this is a normal business behavior, and you shouldn't interfere!"

"Huh, that's best!" Smoker nodded.

"That's right!" Zhou Qi said again: "Take me with you when you attack Aaron. The teacher said that I have already left the army. What I lack now is actual combat."

"So fast?" Smoker was surprised: "Didn't you only learn to sword for a month?"

"No way, this is genius!" Zhou Qi shrugged.

"Tch!" Smoker waved his hand: "I will call you when we set off!"

"Thank you!"

After walking out of the naval base, Zhou Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

If you want to beat Aaron, you will most likely face a rat. Once you beat a rat, you will become a wanted criminal.

This is the beginning of the journey of pirates for the protagonists in many fan fictions.

However, Zhou Qi’s golden finger is not suitable for the pirate route, so he can only call the police.
