Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy

"That's all? This Lumba Pirates is too embarrassing for pirates, isn't it?"

Malinfando, in the small courtyard of Skyler's residence, watched Nurkic rummaging through the archives for two whole days before finding out the information about Brooke from the discarded information. Skyler had a look on his face. Speechless.

Brooke, nicknamed Nose Brooke, belongs to the Lombard Pirates, and Brooke's final bounty is 300 million Baileys. In the first half of the Grand Line, he can be regarded as a quite "accomplished" pirate.

In particular, Brooke's status is only that of acting captain at the highest level. He has never claimed to be the captain of the Lombard Pirates, so it is not bad to receive such a high reward.

But... that was for other pirates. The strength that Brooke showed later clearly exceeded the 300 million bounty level. In terms of strength alone, he was worth more than [-] million beli.

As for other dangers, such as his experience and his "threat" to the world government, these will only increase his bounty. In Skyler's view, Brooke has a base of [-] million Baileys and an immeasurable upper limit.

It's just that the World Government underestimated the musician who would become one of the Straw Hats in the future, and his off-line behavior made it difficult for people to judge Brook's strength, so the bounty was not raised as much as it should be.

But such a person only has 300 million Baileys. Don't talk about inflation. After all, the fund pool used by the World Government to pay bounties is fixed.

In other words, the value of pirates will not rise in large numbers. Even if it happens occasionally for one or two years, it can only mean that the pirates who emerge in these one or two years are stronger than those in other years.

Excluding this reason, then it is... secondary growth?Although Brooke is now in his seventies, he was nearly ninety when he was found by Luffy and others in the original work.

But... before he turned into a skeleton, Brooke was just a mortal, and he also ate the Underworld Fruit, which was not helpful in the battle. After his death, his strength increased, which seems to make sense.

But... it's still too much. However, after seeing the information today, Skyler also understands why Brooke's, or the entire Lumba Pirates' bounty order is so low.

"Nurkic, go back and rest. You haven't slept since the barbecue party, right?"

Skyler looked at Nurkic and found that he had obvious dark circles around his eyes. He originally wanted to ask him to go with him to see the imprisoned Brook, but now he changed his mind.

After hearing this, Nurkiqi was stunned for a second before nodding. He was very tired after immersing himself in the database for the past two days. After all, the management method of the Navy more than thirty years ago was different from that of now.

Nurkic had to learn an old database management method to improve his speed of searching for information. At his speed, it took him two full days to find it.

At this time, he was actually extremely tired, and his reaction was a beat slower than usual. When Skyler asked him to go back and rest, Nurkic agreed.

He is not a masochist, especially now that there is no danger, there is no need to hold on.

After Nurkic left, Skyler flipped through the information again, with a speechless smile on his face, then stood up, left the small courtyard, and headed towards Crescent Harbor.

Arriving at Crescent Harbor, I boarded my warship. At this time, there were not many people on the warship. Most of them went on vacation. I heard that many people organized groups to go to the Shampoo Islands.

Now, except for some people who don't like to join in the fun, there are only three fur warriors, Pedro.

After all, Pedro and the others... really don't have much spending power. From the time Nurkic recognized them and agreed to join the navy, the Zhanye detachment has been at sea, and there is no time to create identities for them.

Therefore, they were still working as unpaid sailors as before, but with members of the Zhanye detachment taking them along, they ate and drank in the navy canteen in Marineland, and no one cared about it.

But their pockets are indeed empty, let alone spending money. The three fur tribes can only live on the warship and can't go anywhere. As for their younger brother Bebo...

Bebo was taken by the navy sisters to play in the Shampoo Islands.

However, Pedro and the others did not complain. Even on vacation, when Skyler arrived, the three of them were still cleaning and maintaining the warship.

Skyler nodded at them, then entered the cabin directly and walked below the deck.

The second floor below the deck is usually a training room, but it can be transformed into a prison at any time. In other words, it was originally set up as a temporary prison. It is just the fighting style of the Zhanye detachment, and there are not so many prisoners.

Therefore, in order to maximize the use of the second floor, Zhanye detachment transformed it into a training room. At this time, the training equipment was still there, but there was a cage in the center.

A pair of withered bones were shackled and sitting in a cage. If someone didn't know better, they would have thought that a prisoner had been imprisoned for too long and turned into withered bones in the prison after death.

Skyler slowly approached, looked at Brooke who was bound by the Sea Tower Stone, and said, "Brooke."

"what?"

Brooke moved, and then his empty eyes turned in Skyler's direction. Maybe he was used to seeing it this way.

When Brooke saw that the person coming was Skyler, he raised his right hand with the bones on his fingertips and scratched his brain, and said: "Ms. Navy, can you let me see..."

"You are bound by the sea tower stone. If you are torn apart by me again, you will really die, right?"

Skyler's words made Brooke stop his gentlemanly greetings and instead asked: "Ms. Navy, what do you want me to do with you?"

"Whoa~"

Skyler threw the information into the cage and said: "This is your information, right? You are too embarrassed, right? Being offered a reward for performing a pirate song is really... hilarious."

This is the reason why the Rumba Pirates were offered a bounty for the first time. They were offered a bounty for publicly singing songs praising pirates within the territory of the countries that join the World Government.

Of course, this was only the reason for the bounty at the beginning. Later, with the battles with "peers" and the display of strength when evading the navy's pursuit, the members of the Lombard Pirates continued to increase the bounty.

Brooke did not answer immediately, but picked up the information on the ground with his white fingers. Looking at the dry, yellowed and extremely uneven information, he slowly stroked his finger bones.

It can be seen that this is a document that has been preserved for a long time, and it should have been kept in different places and different environments, otherwise there would not be so many signs of aging.

"Can you tell me...how many years have passed?"

Brooke flipped through the information and looked at the blurry photos of his companions. His voice was trembling, but he didn't cry again.

"It was 1508 years ago on the Hainan calendar. What year on the Hainan calendar was it when you disappeared?"

After Skyler answered, Brooke's movements paused again. This skeletal body could easily get stuck. After a moment of silence, Brooke said, "It should have been 36 years ago. It turns out it has been so long."

After Brooke finished speaking, he slowly put the documents together and said, "How is the sea now? It depends on the situation... Your navy is still there, so those madmen in Hatchinos must have failed, right?"

"Hachinos? What is that?"

Skyler frowned, not really understanding what Brooke was talking about. Brooke scratched the broken bone on his forehead and continued: "It's the island where a group of pirates gathered, and it has a name... Rong thought about it think...

It seems to be Beehive Island, right?I still remember that there was a great young man there at that time, who said he wanted to overthrow the world government. We were quite shocked when we saw it on the news. What was his name? "

Brooke thought about it again, and Skyler came to his senses and understood who Brooke was talking about, so he said: "Rocks D. Gibek."

"Yes, it seems to be that name... How is he? At that time, many pirates said they were going to help him overthrow the World Government."

Brooke didn't have the slightest idea that there was anything wrong with talking about overthrowing the World Government in front of a Marine. Fortunately, he met Skyler, a Marine who looked down on the World Government from the bottom of his heart.

After hearing what Brooke said, Skyler said, "Defeated by Marine Monkey D. Cap."

In the Battle of the Valley of the Gods, it was always advertised that Garp defeated Rocks alone. Even if he knew the truth, Skyler did not tell Brooke.

Brooke's name mentioned by Skyler triggered some memory, and he said: "Garp, I seem to remember that many people were discussing it at that time.

There's Garp, a new navy recruit, and... Roger, a new pirate pirate. Their battle seems to have been on the news.

How are the two of them doing? "

"Roger became the Pirate King, but died ten years ago. Garp is now the heroic vice-admiral of the navy and... my father."

Skyler's voice gradually decreased, but Brooke did not pay attention, but said with emotion: "Have those young people actually experienced so much? Time flies so fast, and I have become an old skeleton. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh~”

Smiling, Brooke suddenly lowered his head and said sadly: "The Pirate King...the one who conquered the sea? He must have completed the voyage of the Great Channel, right?"

Skyler understood the reason for the sadness in his words, because they had also promised a whale back then that they would complete the voyage of the Great Channel and then go back to pick up the whale.

Therefore, Skyler did not take up Brooke's topic, but said directly: "The whale is still there. If I can't catch you, I might let you go, and then you can go back and see it. "

"Rabu? It should still remember us, right? Otherwise, why would it stay there..."

Brooke was alone there thinking, but Skyler turned and left. She didn't like to see sad people, especially this person came from the heart, and... he was also a pirate.

"Bang~"

The door was closed again, and Brooke, who was undisturbed, once again curled up and reopened the information. Looking at the blurred and indistinguishable photos, tears kept pouring out of his eyes.

Skyler returned to the deck and stood there for a long time with a frown on his face. Suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, he headed straight towards the headquarters building.

Arriving at the headquarters building, Skyler went straight to the Marshal's office. Sengoku did not close the door, but Skyler still chose to knock on the door.

"Come in."

Skyler just raised his hand and before it landed on the door, Seng Guo made a sound. Looking at Skyler who walked in, Seng Guo said with some dissatisfaction: "Little Skyler? Come in. I've been back for two days, right? Don't you dare come to me to report your work?

Do you think I will stop you from fighting that young man?Haha~ I was young back then! "

Sengoku was in a good mood. Although there had been many accidents since he took over Sora's job, with the efforts of him and the entire naval system, he still worked hard to regain the advantage little by little and continue to benefit from the chaos.

And Skyler can be said to be one of the heroes. Although half of the accidents were caused by Skyler, without Skyler, although the troubles would be much less, the benefits would also be much less.

Therefore, after learning that Skyler had an appointment with Mihawk, Sengoku was also troubled, but thinking about it, it seemed to be nothing. After all, which young man did not have the idea of ​​defeating everyone of his generation.

Skyler has it, he has had it before, it can be said that everyone has it, but only a handful can do it.

Skyler had the opportunity and the ability to do it, and Sengoku had the idea of ​​stopping it at first, but after thinking deeply, he no longer resisted, and instead thought about how this matter could bring benefits to the navy.

Warring States had long known that Skyler had returned to Marineventor, but he did not summon him. The reason was because he had not thought about how to benefit from this matter.

Because he had only been thinking about this matter recently related to Skyler, so at this time, he also thought that Skyler was here for this matter.

But Skyler was stunned and said, "What are you talking about? Why do you think I won't dare to come to you because of that thing? Am I afraid that you will stop me?"

Skyler said, his expression became very strange, as if he was saying "Who are you? Are you in charge of my business?"

For a moment, the familiar madness when facing Skyler and Garp came back!

Warring States Beard's eyebrows kept trembling, as if suppressing his anger, his smile completely restrained, and he asked stiffly: "Then why did you come to me?"

"I want to capture a pirate, but his reward has been stopped. Is there any way to restore it?"

After Skyler finished speaking, Sengoku's eyelids twitched. He suddenly thought of a group of people, the group of guys from the Roger Pirates' ship, and thought that Skyler was targeting that group of people.

After all, the known bounty has been stopped to get a big pirate, or in other words, a big pirate who is worthy of Skyler's action and even comes to find him for it. Apart from that group of people, there is no one else.

"Cough cough~"

Warring States coughed slightly and said: "Lieutenant General Skyler, it's not that I don't agree with you enforcing justice, but some bounties are stopped for a reason, and you can't resume them just because you want to.

And this is not something I can decide by myself. I still suggest that we focus on the current and future enemies. As for the old guys in the past, as long as they don't commit crimes, there is no need to restart the reward. "

Sengoku's name for Skyler changed subtly, but Skyler did not pay attention, but continued: "Why? Is it possible that if they no longer commit crimes, they will no longer be criminals?"

Looking at Skyler who sounded quite dissatisfied, Sengoku thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know which pirate whose reward has been stopped has committed another crime?"

"No."

Skyler answered very simply. At this time, Warring States also straightened his expression and said: "Lieutenant General Skyler, I don't agree with what you said. Unless there is evidence that they committed another crime, I will not Report to restart the reward.

You are still too young to know how much influence those old guys have on the sea when they become active again. "

Sengoku became more and more certain that Skyler wanted to take action against the remnants of the Roger Pirates. After all, Garp had complained to himself more than once that after the Roger Pirates disbanded, the sea became much more boring.

He also asked Marshal Kong more than once, and asked him to resume the bounty on the remnants of the Roger Pirates, even if only Garp could catch him alone.

As for Skyler, who is as bastard as Garp, it is not surprising to have such thoughts, it can even be said to be normal.

However, it seemed that Skyler had only had this idea at this time and was making insidious inquiries, so Sengoku also directly refused and killed Skyler's dangerous idea!

"Then if I accidentally catch them, do I need to let them go?"

After Skyler asked, Sengoku looked at Skyler, thinking that he was testing the bottom line. After all, Garp also said, what if he accidentally ran into Rayleigh or Jabba and had a fight?

Sengoku reprimanded Garp on the spot for asking such a question. After all, Garp could do it, and he could do it, but Skyler... it was unlikely that he would deal with those old guys.valley

Let alone catching them, so Warring States blinked and said, "If you catch them, then you can let them go."

"okay, I get it."

Skyler turned around and left. Seng Guo seemed to have remembered something and said, "Wait a minute."

Skyler stopped, turned to look at Sengoku, and said, "What? Can you let me arrest them?"

"No."

Warring States waved his hand and said: "You should know about the recruitment, right? There is a good prospect, and he said he wants to go to the G-5 branch and guard the front line with the Zhanye detachment. What do you think?"

Skyler frowned and said, "Didn't you graduate at the end of the year?"

"Isn't it because of what you caused that Zefa had to advance his recruitment? Moreover, many of this batch of conscripts are strong men joining the army. The training period is much shorter, and they should be awarded the title soon."

Warring States said, rummaging through his drawer, finally found a piece of information, handed it to Skyler, and said, "Take a look, what do you think?"

Skyler took the information, opened it and glanced at it. His eyes hidden behind his sunglasses narrowed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The information in hand is the information of a naval recruit named "Virgo". In the evaluation at the bottom, Zefa's message is that the general's strength is already there, and it may be reused after examining the heart of justice.

"Then give him a mission and let him go to the G-5 branch alone. If he arrives alive, I will take him over."

After Skyler finished speaking, he put the information back on Sengoku's desktop and said, "Is there anything else?"

"No, just be careful when fighting. Don't forget that you are the most important future of the navy!"

Sengoku looked at Skyler and talked about Mihawk again. After all, there was no mercy in the battle between swordsmen, and the decision of life and death might be made in an instant.

Although he has enough confidence in Skyler, Warring States knows that he cannot underestimate the people on the sea.

Hearing this, Skyler showed a confident smile and said, "I won't lose."

"Well, you can do it yourself."

Sengoku nodded, and Skyler turned and left.

After leaving the headquarters building and passing by the training ground, Skyler saw Zefa leading new recruits.

Strolling in and walking towards Zefa, Zefa also noticed Skyler's arrival. After giving a few instructions, he asked the recruits to continue training. He looked at Skyler who had already approached and asked:

"How have you been lately? I heard that you are about to become the world's greatest swordsman?"

From the words of praise spoken by Zefa, there is perhaps only one person in the entire sea who has received such treatment, and that is Skyler. Apart from Skyler, Zefa has never praised anyone so exaggeratedly.

After all, among the people he taught, he was the only one who couldn't see Skyler's upper limit, but Skyler's realized talent was enough to impress most people.

Therefore, in Zefa's view, if it were just for the title of the world's greatest swordsman, Skyler would definitely be able to get it, and... praising Skyler would allow Zefa to find a way to treat his family. a feeling of.

Skyler also showed a happy smile and said: "That is to give young people a chance. You know, I must be the best in the world."

"Hahaha~" Zefa also laughed loudly, but still said: "Whether you are the greatest swordsman in the world or not, you are my proudest student. Don't be too pushy."

After hearing this, Skyler smiled and nodded, and then asked: "Who is Vergo? I heard from Marshal Warring States that he wants to go to the G-5 branch."

When Zefa heard this, he pointed at a young man not far away. The naval recruit with a rustic and weird hairstyle, wearing a pair of sunglasses and holding a bamboo stick seemed to notice that Zefa and Skyler were discussing him.

The next moment, his armed color covered his whole body, and his whole body turned purple and black, showing a wave of his armed color attainments.

Zefa looked at his display, but did not appreciate it, but said: "Did you see it? The armed color domineering is quite good, but it is not solid enough.

But considering his age, he's pretty good. He seems to be only two years older than you and has time to grow. "

Skyler looked at Virgo, took him down, and said, "Well, I'm just here to take a look. I won't disturb you in training them. I'll make an appointment with Sister He and Marshal Warring States to have dinner together tonight."

Zefa smiled and nodded, without trying to hold Skyler back.

Skyler left the training ground and returned to the warship again. He asked for the key from the members of the Zhanye detachment. When he arrived at the negative second floor, Brooke had already collected his emotions and sat quietly.

"Crack~click~"

Skyler opened the door, then opened the shackles on Brooke, stood up and said: "You have good news, that is, I can't arrest you, you can leave."

Brooke, who was touching his wrist joints, was a little confused and asked: "Leave? Where to go?"

"You can go wherever you want, even to Twin Points. Rab should be waiting for you."

After hearing Skyler's words, Brooke's two rows of teeth spread apart, just like a normal person opening his mouth, opening and closing it several times, and then said: "But...can it still recognize me?"

"Then it has nothing to do with me. Do you need travel expenses?"

Skyler smiled and shook his head. Brooke looked at Skyler and suddenly asked: "How many Baileys can you give me?"

"How much do you want?"

Skyler was a little curious. After all, Brooke didn't seem like a person who cared about money. After all, he was just a skeleton. What could he spend?

"If I could have 100 million Baileys..."

Brooke noticed that Skyler's eyes were becoming increasingly dangerous. He also stopped speaking and looked up at Skyler. Skyler thought for a while, now 100 million Baileys is nothing to her.

"Just think of it as making friends."

Skyler restrained his dangerous eyes and nodded, expressing his willingness to give Brooke the travel expenses. Brooke nodded and said:

"An old piano from Morning Star costs about 30 beli. A brand-new violin from Victor costs about 30 beli. The remaining 40 will be used as food and accommodation for me."

"???"

Brooke said a lot, but Skyler's face gradually became confused, and finally, he had to ask: "What do you mean?"

"Yo ho ho ho~ A pirate... On a warship, musicians are indispensable. Can I board the navy lady's warship and become a popular musician?"

Brooke laughed and expressed his thoughts concisely and clearly. He wanted to stay on the warship of the Zhanye detachment.

Skyler frowned and asked, "Why?"

Brooke touched the floor and said, "Because...you have had great companions, and I want to...be with them."

With that said, Brooke stood up, pinched the thumb and middle finger of his right hand together, and then made a small snap of his fingers.

"Party Night·Waltz!"

"Zheng~"

There was obviously no sound, but Skyler seemed to hear the singing. The cabin without lights suddenly became a little brighter. At this time, Skyler also opened his mouth slightly.

Because she saw some very familiar people, or in other words, people who were once very familiar. Their names were engraved on the hull of the warship.

At this moment, their figures are illusory, and they are constantly dancing to the silent music.

"This is..."

Skyler subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch them, but his hand went directly through them, and these former crew members of the Zhanye detachment seemed not to notice Skyler, and just kept dancing.

"I have heard that the pirates who cherish their companions very much and regard their ships as their companions may have spirits born on their ships, called ship spirits.

Speaking of which... this is the first time I've seen it.

I want to see what kind of people are on this ship to make them reluctant to leave and continue to stay here. "

As he spoke, Brooke took the hand of an illusory female navy and slowly danced with her. Without stopping to talk, Brooke continued:

"However, it seems that they can't hear the sound and can't see people, but they can feel it down below. They still want to stay on the boat."

Skyler didn't answer and was very quiet. Looking at the phantoms dancing around her, the shock in her heart gradually subsided. She naturally knew about the ship spirit, but she didn't expect that her own warship also had one.

Skyler wanted to speak to these former colleagues, but...she heard Brooke just say that these ship spirits seemed to have just been born.

"Interestingly..."

Brooke was still talking, and at the same time he let go of the boat spirit, looked at Skyler, and said: "I was able to see them because I swallowed the underworld fruit and died once. After all...actually We are the same kind yohohoho~

But, Navy lady, what about you? "

After Brooke finished speaking, Skyler noticed that some ship spirits were not only in this cabin, but some were only half in the cabin. Perhaps, there were ship spirits dancing in other places.

Why didn't the navy left behind on the warship come to find me?

Too few people?But there are dozens of people still on the warship. Is it possible that I haven’t seen any of them?

"Isn't it because of your ability that I saw it?"

After Skyler asked, Brooke shook her head and said, "No."

"I do not know either."

Skyler shook her head. She didn't know why she was the only one who could see it. Maybe it was...

"Maybe it's my seeing and hearing Haki or other perception skills?"

After hearing Skyler's guess, Brooke, who was also encountering this situation for the first time, thought about it and nodded. After all, there seemed to be no other answer.

"So, Navy lady, can you take me in and stay on the warship? I will give you music in return."

"Then from today on, call me Lieutenant General Skyler."

"Okay, Lieutenant General Skyler, may I have the honor to appreciate..."

"Click~wow~"

The bones on the ground were shaking as he struggled to piece himself together. Skyler shook his hand and said, "Is it much stronger than the previous two days?"

"Yo ho ho ho~ Because milk can treat osteoporosis, yo ho ho ho~"

Brooke, who had already put his head together, laughed.

Skyler just smiled. After all, it was obviously not normal for Brooke to be so fragile a few days ago. If he was really that weak, he would probably fall apart if he took just two more steps, let alone fighting.

This reminded Skyler of a strange setting, that is, Brooke thought that after his bones were injured, he could recover by drinking milk, so he drank it and the bones recovered.

Skyler contacted Hamilton and asked him to buy a piano and violin. He returned home and asked He and Sengoku to have dinner together tonight.

A few days later, the piano and violin were moved onto the warship. Nurkic also arranged a place for Brooke to live. The members of the Zhanye detachment also returned to the detachment. The short vacation was coming to an end.

At the end of the holiday, the Zhanye detachment was ready to return to the New World. Crescent Bay, the Zhanye detachment's warship was already ready, and Pedro and the three of them also changed into lieutenant naval uniforms.

After Nurkic reported the number of people, he looked at Brooke who was sitting in front of the piano not far away, then looked at Skyler and said: "Sir, is it too high-profile?"

"Don't you think this is interesting?"

Hearing Skyler's answer, Nurkic shook his head, but Skyler did not change his mind, but shouted loudly: "Sail! Set sail!"

This time, as the words fell, in addition to the sounds of the sails being raised and the engine starting, there was also a magnificent march. Although there was only one piano, Brook suddenly appeared with the momentum of a symphony orchestra.

When other people in Crescent Harbor heard the sound of the piano, they all looked over, wondering who was so...

"Lieutenant General Skyler's Zhanye detachment? That's fine."
