Chapter 27: Chapter 27
"Good morning, Fleet Admiral."
I greet my boss from the Den Den Mushi. I don't know why he called me in the morning, but it must be important for him to use the emergency line.
"I'm sorry to call you this early, Commodore Yuuji."
"Don't mention, Fleet Admiral. I don't mind."
"Very well. The reason why we call you is that we get an emergency call from the people in the Alabasta Kingdom."
"What is it?"
"A fleet of pirates sail toward the kingdom and demand they pay a massive amount of money. They will go back with more crews than before and wreak havoc if the king does not pay that money."
"You want me to go there and protect the kingdom?"
"That is correct, yes."
"I don't mind this assignment but are you sure we are able to do it? I know my crew and I know that we will not be able defeat them. However, Grandline is a place where there are strong rules and if the pirate manages to gather that much crew, I know he is strong."
"That is why I sent two more captains to Alabasta."
"Ah, that is good. Who is it?"
"Smoker and Hina. They will work under you and help you take care of the problem. They should arrive a day before you and prepare for your arrival."
"I see. That is good to hear. I will take this assignment and make sure the people in Alabasta will not suffer."
"Good. I will leave this mission in your hand, Commodore Yuuji."
"Yes, sir!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|Captain Hina|
"Is the Smoker excited to see his friend?"
"I'm not excited to meet with Yuuji, Hina. However, I'm glad to see him after a long time."
Hina thinks that Smokers need to be honest with his feelings. He keeps saying something, but his heart wants the other thing. It is cute, but sometimes it is not good for him.
"Can Smoker tell Hina what kind of person Commodore Yuuji is?"
"Yuuji is… a kind person. He has this aura that makes him well-liked by the people around him. Combine it with his power, and you might think of him as a Saint or something."
"Smoker might get punished for calling someone a Saint other than the World Noble."
The World Noble will not want the other to have the title of a Saint. In their mind, the only one who deserves the title of a Saint is their own kind who stays in the sky. Hina does not like them.
"I don't really care about their opinion."
"Smokers need to watch his mouth because Hina can't help him when he gets in trouble once more."
Hina manages to get Smoker out of trouble when he disobeys the Vice-Admiral's order to kill all the civilians who he thought were hiding pirates inside their villages. Because of this, Smoker will not get a promotion for five years even when he is right that there are no pirates in the villages.
Smoker gets punished for his insubordination even though he manages to avoid making the marine's name even worse. He still keeps his punishment even when the intelligence manages to gather evidence that the Vice-Admiral is running a Racketeering on that island, and one of the store owners cannot pay because they did not get much money at the moment.
"Hmph. I don't really need your help, Hina."
Once again, Smoker is not honest with himself. He is such a difficult man that Hina thinks he should take some vacation and therapy.
"Ah, here they come."
"Hmmm? What does Smoker mean?"
"Look at that."
Hina looks where Smoker points and sees a massive ship appear on the horizon. Hina can see a strange symbol underneath the Marine logo; it is a unique symbol that only a person could have. It was the symbol of the White Warrior.
"The men gather here. Our commander has arrived."
"Of course, Smoker."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sir!"
When I get out of the ship, I can see Smoker and a young woman saluting me with their crews also doing the same. I nod my head and order them to be at ease before saying.
"First thing first, let me introduce myself. My name is Yuuji and I will be the commander of this mission. You can call me Commodore Yuuji or just Commodore."
"Yes, sir!"
I nod my head and look at Smoker and the young woman.
"Where is our HQ?"
"Please follow me, sir. The other is waiting in the camp."
I nod at the young woman and follow her. I look at Smoker and say,
"Smoker, how is the situation?"
"Not too bad, Yuuji."
I can see Hina look at Smoker with a frown on her face, but I decide to wave it.
"Not too bad?"
"Aye. People are still walking around doing whatever they are doing but there is a whisper about them moving out before the pirates come."
I nod my head as we arrive in front of a massive tent. As we get inside the tent, I can see a man standing in the middle of the room, looking at the map. When he sees us coming inside the tent, he bows a little and says,
"You must be the commander for this mission. My name is Pell and I'm the Captain of the Royal Guard. I will be helping the marine in fighting against the pirates."
"Well meet, Pell. My name is Yuuji and Let's work together from now on."
After I give him a handshake, I look at the map on the table and say,
"So, what do you know about them?"
"They are the White Lily pirates. Their captain is called Valerie. She is a savage pirate that kills anyone who dares to get in her way."
Pell gave me a poster of a woman holding a decapitated head and laughing gleefully. Underneath her photo is her bounty of two hundred and seventy million Belly.
"She also eats a Devil Fruit that changes her into this."
Pell shows us another photo, and I can see a bipedal creature. The creature has an armored back and tail that have a massive bulge on the end of it. In the next photo, I can see a gigantic familiar creature.
"Ankylosaurus, huh?"
"Pardon me?"
"That woman ate an Ancient Zoan. It was a more powerful Zoan fruit that took the form of an ancient beast. It looks like she eats the one that gives her the shape of Ankylosaurus."
This will be a hard fight. I look at Pell and say,
"Can you give me more information about our enemy? I need to know what they can and can't do before we fight them."
I need to know my enemy first before we fight them.
