[One Piece] Pirate Life of Port Officers

One morning a year later, the Science Department of the Naval Headquarters——

"Lysa! I heard that you applied to go to Simirip Island? What are you thinking! Although the island elected a monarch under the intervention of the navy, the old man said that it was just a trigger/fire/cause to intensify the conflict , it won’t be long before there will be chaos again. When you go there now, you are said to be doing research, and it’s hard to say whether you can survive.”

A bulky boy in a red bellyband, carrying a tomahawk taller than him, stopped a skinny girl in the aisle.The girl looked a little overwhelmed, lowering her head slightly, twisting the corner of her clothes uneasily.In the eyes of others, this is a scene of a bad boy bullying a weak girl.

"Hey, Zhan Taowan, don't bully Lysa. If you have something to say, at least put down the ax in your hand."

The guards of the Naval Science Department who passed by saw this scene, but they were all surprised, and laughed and teased the boy.

"What! It's not that you don't know, this guy is just too introverted, and I won't get any benefit from a real fight." Seeing those smiling navy, Zhan Taowan waved the ax in his hand, imagining to rush Chase them away like flies.It's a pity that his predecessors are much more difficult to deal with than flies.

"Hahaha——, did you hear that? Zhan Taomaru just admitted that he can't beat Lysa."

"I heard it, I heard it, it's really embarrassing for us men, let's go to Lieutenant General Polusalino to respond. Otherwise, the future of our Naval Science Department is worrying!"

"That's right, even after losing a few times, it's too embarrassing to give up the counterattack so quickly."

After being sung by those soldiers, Zhan Taowan's face was almost as red as his bellyband.If he hadn't remembered that fighting inside the science building is strictly prohibited, he would have already chopped it down with an axe.

"...That, it's not like that." Just as Zhan Momomaru wrote these guys down again in the small book in his heart, a thin voice broke into their conversation from the side, diverting their gaze attracted to the past.

The black-haired girl seemed a little uncomfortable facing so many sights, lowered her head, and said her thoughts quickly, "Zhan Taomaru is just worried about me. Besides, the relationship between us The outcome is always [-]/[-], and I am older than Zhan Momomaru, this result is really embarrassing."

The more she talked, the lower her head was, and the two braids were raised up, and the whole figure seemed to be squatting in the shadow of the corner.

The smiling soldiers froze when they saw this scene, they looked at me and I looked at you, they all scratched their heads in bewilderment, and finally ran away together for some reason.

"...Lysa, they've already left, so stop posing like this." The corners of Zhan Taowan's mouth twitched as he looked at the girl in front of him who was three years older than him, but whose height didn't reach his shoulders. He said helplessly, "If you eat more every day, your speed and strength will definitely increase faster than now, and you won't just learn two of the six navy styles in a year."

"I'm sorry." Lysa raised her head, glanced cautiously at Zhan Taowan, then lowered her head again, and whispered, "I've let everyone down, I...I will try my best."

"...I didn't mean to accuse you, but why did you apologize!" Zhan Taomaru became angry when he saw Lysa's timid look.

This guy, Lysa, was brought back by the old man a year ago.He thought it was amazing, but it turned out to be a girl who spoke softly and wore a black T-shirt that was too big.After seeing the opponent's outstanding performance in research, Zhan Taowan completely gave up the mentality of competing with her.

Although Zhan Taowan, who is targeting the escort of the Naval Science Department, does not have much interaction with researchers at this stage, but with the mentality of looking for a playmate who is closest to his age, Zhan Taowan often slips into the research room and asks for help. The banner of exercising took Lysa to train and exchange ideas.But to his surprise, this skinny little girl can actually use soft swords, and she is not bad at all. When fighting against her, he is sometimes at a disadvantage.

For this result, Zhan Taowan is of course very unconvinced.From then on, he began to run to the research room every day, and dragged Lysa into the daily training of the escort of the Naval Science Department.It's a pity that the opponent may be too thin and his learning progress is very slow, and he only learned two of the six styles in a year.

The old man didn't have any objection to his actions. It's better to say that he was on the spur of the moment and let go of him after bringing him back.Occasionally, I would stop to watch the battle between him and Lysa, and make a comment or two.He also asked why the old man didn't help Lysa change her overly introverted personality, but he sent her away with a word of trouble.Moreover, he didn't give any instructions on Lysa's future development direction.

By the way, the direction of development!After being disturbed by those soldiers, he forgot that Lysa actually applied to be a researcher at the research institute on Simrip Island.Is she stupid?Even he, who is only 12 years old, knows that before he is promoted to any official position, it is the best choice to practice in the headquarters to increase his strength.

And Simirip Island, although there are rumors of space-time rifts in that place, the Ministry of Science has studied there for two or three years without any results.Almost all the naval forces invested in the past were used to help that country quell the war. Why did she apply to go to that kind of place when she knew that the island would soon be in chaos again?

"Hey, Lysa, you haven't answered my initial question. Do you think you can survive in a war-torn country with your three-legged cat skills!" Zhan Taowan suppressed the irritability in his heart, and softened his voice. He wanted to clarify the stakes and stakes with Lysa, but unfortunately he got more and more excited, and finally made Lysa take a step back in fright.

"I...I know that my strength is not enough. After arriving at Simirip Island, I will try my best to stay in the research room and not cause trouble for everyone." Lysa took a step back and hurriedly bowed to Zhan Taomaru After bowing, although his body was trembling slightly, there was a sense of firmness in his small voice, "Cracks in time and space are the research direction I am most interested in. A month ago, the government had temporarily pacified Ximi. The war on Rip Island is now the best time for me to go. Therefore, I must go."

research direction?That's right, although this guy's strength is mediocre, she has a good head. Those weirdos in the research room like her, so it's no wonder she chose to become a researcher.

Trying to ignore the slight sense of loss in his heart, Zhan Taowan twitched the corners of his mouth, "You make your own decision, just don't regret it. If you have any troubles and you can't find someone to talk to, you can call me. I am the most tight-lipped man in the world, and I will definitely help you keep a secret."

Looking at the arrogant look on the face of the boy in front of her, Lysa felt a warm current in her heart.In the past year, scenes of getting along with Zhan Taowan came to her mind one by one.

When he was defeated for the first time in the competition with himself, he held back the tears in his eyes and stubbornly asked to come back; every morning, he would block people at the door of the research room with a twisted expression; The purpose of coming to the research room is to supervise her to eat more; when she encounters difficulties in learning the six styles, he will give demonstrations and explanations in front of him, although the explanations of "咻——" and "啪——", except for He himself, no one can understand.

She raised her head that had been drooping all the time, and the timid and shy expression on her face was replaced by a big smile, she looked at this little friend who was a head taller than her, and said sincerely: "Well, I will. Thank you, Zhan Taowan."

This guy looks pretty good when he smiles.Seeing Lysa's rare smile, Zhan Taowan looked away uncomfortably, cleared his throat, but didn't know what to say, just kept a reserved look and nodded to her, then turned and walked out go.

But if he had better news and knew what kind of visitors had come to that island, he would definitely stop Lysa at any cost and prevent her from boarding the warship bound for Simirip Island.

After all, at this time, on the three-masted ship that was approaching Simrip Island, there was a flag that was enough to make all the pirates in the paradise back three feet away.

"Boss - I can already see the shadow of the island!"

In the middle of the deck of the ship, there were two tall men sitting around, they were drinking and chatting with each other while laughing.After hearing this, the red-haired man in the straw hat stood up, raised his hand and pressed the brim of the hat, looked at the island emerging in the clouds and mist in front of the boat, smiled, and said loudly: "Little ones , ready to go ashore, and have a banquet!"

After his words fell, the whole ship became lively, some of the pirates raised their weapons, and some raised their wine glasses, cheering for the same thing.

"Yeah, the party is on!"
