It was a smoke-filled room. This was Smog's office.
He opened the window to let the air in the room circulate. Smoggy, who was biting two cigars, had a fierce expression. He did not look like a navy officer at all, but more like a gangster who occupied a territory.
From his appearance and temperament, one could tell that this person's character was definitely a rebellious and tough man.
"Clown Baki, 15 million Bailey, have you finally made your move against these pirates? So, are you going to tell me that you're about to leave Eastern Sea?”Smogue took out a bottle of red wine from a wine cabinet and personally filled Arthur's glass. He looked at the handsome and calm young man in front of him and said in a deep voice.
"Something like that. My next target is the Evil Dragon Pirates.”Arthur took a sip and nodded.
"Overlord of the Eastern Sea?" Smoggy nodded and said no more.
Many people thought that Klick was the overlord of the East Sea. In fact, the largest pirate group in the East Sea was indeed the Klick Pirate Group. However, the real overlord was the group of murlocs from the great sea route, the Evil Dragon Pirate Group.
"Your things have arrived. Do you want them now?”Suddenly, Smoggy seemed to have thought of something and could not help but say to Arthur.
"Oh? You're quite fast." Arthur's eyes lit up as he spoke with anticipation.
"Humph, the navy has specially trained delivery seagulls. Naturally, they are fast.”Smoggy snorted, pulled open a drawer, took out a box, and threw it to Arthur.
Arthur took the box and opened it. Inside was the necessary item to travel between the islands after entering the great sea route--the recording pointer.
"Thank you. How much money do you need?”Arthur thanked Smoggy and put the pointer back into the box. He planned to give it to Nami after reaching the Great Sea Route.
"There's no need for money. I just asked them to send it over.”Smoggy looked at Arthur with disdain and said seriously,""Speaking of which, are you really not planning to join the navy? Those people above have already noticed you. If you agree, you can directly enter the naval school and learn the advanced physical skills of the navy. Once you graduate, you will be a colonel.”
As mentioned before, Arthur's strength and ethos made him a clear leader among bounty hunters, and he had attracted the attention of the navy.
The reason why the navy paid attention to Arthur was because of Smoggy.
There were only three branches in the East Ocean, and the leaders of two of them were rotten scum. Arthur didn't want to get into unnecessary trouble. Therefore, every time they caught a pirate or mountain bandit with a bounty on their head, they would bring them to Roguetown to receive the bounty.
After a while, Arthur got to know Smoggy.
At the same time, a month ago, Arthur had no opponents other than the three pirates of the Eastern Sea, so he challenged Smoggy.
Using Smoggy's arrogance and self-proclaimed invincible elemental esper character, he defeated him.
Seeing that Arthur, who was born in the weakest sea, had understood the dominance of the New World's capital, Smogg naturally sent this information to the navy headquarters.
After some investigation, they found that Arthur's identity was flawless, and he had a good reputation in the East Ocean. Therefore, Smoggy invited Arthur.
Naturally, Arthur refused.
However, at this point, Smoggy completely looked at Arthur in a new light.
This was definitely not an ordinary person.
For such an extraordinary person, the probability of him becoming a pirate was definitely very high.
If Smogg saw Arthur, he would have killed him in the cradle even if he had only one percent of the thought of becoming a pirate.
However, there was no such ambition in Arthur. Instead, he was full of honesty and honesty. The condensed and tangible boldness prevented Smogue from harboring any ill intentions towards him.
Therefore, Smogg felt that he could not offend such a person. He could not let him become the enemy of the navy.
Therefore, when Arthur asked him for a pointer, Smoggy did not refuse.
……
Arthur smiled and shook his head.""You should know that it's impossible for me to join the navy.”
"Forget it. I hope you won't go astray.”
"Right, I have something to tell you.”Arthur seemed to have thought of something. He put down the cup in his hand, put his palms together, and looked at Smoggy with a serious expression." I received a piece of information. Not only did the Evil Dragon Pirates occupy Cocosia Village, but they also colluded with Captain Rat from the 16th division of the navy. Because they were bribed by Ah Long, that Captain Rat did not care about Ah Long's actions at all. He even used the name of the navy to cover for him.”
"There's such a thing?" Hearing Arthur's words, Smoggy's expression changed.
Because that place was not under his jurisdiction, and Captain Rat did not report to him or the navy headquarters, Smoggy was completely unaware of these things.
"You can go and investigate. I'm only telling you this to cause unnecessary trouble.”" If I get rid of Aaron, his assets will naturally be mine," Arthur said calmly." If I'm not wrong, that Colonel Rat will interfere. We'll definitely have a conflict then." I need to remind you that I will never show mercy to that rotten navy.”
"Hmph, if that's the case, don't show any mercy.”"I'll ask the headquarters for a search warrant. When we find his stains, we'll definitely throw him into prison," said Smogue with a cold expression.”
"Then, I hope that before I deal with Ah Long, you have already investigated thoroughly. Otherwise, if I see him in Cocosia Village, I will bring his head to you.”Arthur stood up, raised his high-heeled glass, and toasted Smoggy before drinking it in one gulp.
Smoggy returned the favor with an ugly expression.
It wasn't because Arthur had provoked the navy, but because the navy's justice had angered him.
