Ghost Shark, but in the world of One Piece

Page 46

Before leaving, seemingly out of guilt, BrinBrin gave them a lot of supplies, and then waved goodbye to Raleigh at the port.

"Boom boom boom..."

Tina answered the Den Den Mushi placed on the deck, and a dignified old man wearing frog-shaped glasses appeared on the screen.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Marshal Zhan Guo?"

"It's Tina." The expression on the Den Den Mushi was relaxed, and she said in good spirits, "The arrangements for Specter have been made."

"Oh?" Lauren Tina and her two companions were all drawn to this question. Tina glanced at them and asked, "What exactly is it?"

"Ghost Shark got promoted"

"Oh, because of his merit in defeating the Golden Lion and protecting civilians. But the government still harbors resentment over his 'Justice Speech,' so even with his great achievements, he only received a promotion, becoming a lieutenant colonel. In addition, Ain and Alice were also promoted, to major and captain respectively."

Sengoku's smile held a hint of regret. If that incident hadn't happened, it wouldn't have been impossible for Specter to defeat Shiki and rise three ranks to become a commodore.

Of course, the government couldn't make things too ugly, so it symbolically shared some credit with the other two people.

There's not much to criticize about handling it this way.

"I have no objection, thank you Marshal Zhan Guo."

Ghost Shark nodded, and the group chatted for a while longer before hanging up the phone.

At the same time, the outline of Rogue Town slowly emerged in front of the Black Prison Fleet.

At the port of Roggetown, the patrolling navy craned their necks, all looking towards the distant sea, where the outline of the Black Prison warship gradually came into view.

One navy officer couldn't help but cheer, "It's Lieutenant Commander Specter..."

The warship docked and lowered its gangway.

The first to appear was Tina, a mature woman with pink hair, red lips, and sunglasses.

Beside her was Lauren Tina, wearing a shark-themed hat.

Ayn and Alice walked behind, followed by several warrant officers.

Tina and her group marched confidently toward the naval base, drawing admiration and salutes wherever they went.

"Laurentina, the trip to the Kingdom of Goa is more important. We only have one day to rest here."

"I'll go back first. My sister and Alice can go sightseeing first." Laurentina gave a military salute and left the group.

The group parted ways at the town hall in the center of Loguetown. After Tina gave everyone free time, she invited Ain and Alice to go shopping for clothes together.

As one of the most important towns in the East China Sea, it is home to quite a few high-end clothing brand stores.

The Loguetown Monastery is located northeast of the town hall, not far from the naval branch. It has a quiet environment and is surrounded by many cafes and exhibition halls, making it a great place with a strong artistic atmosphere.

Laurentina turned left and right, entering a one-way street. After walking a few steps, she arrived at the entrance of a monastery with a domed roof and towers surrounding it...

In the first row of the preaching room, an elderly nun with a weathered face was praying devoutly. Hearing the door open, she turned around and then smiled.

"Oh, our lovely little shark is back."

"Grandma Hiel."

Ghost Shark greeted them with a smile. The Loguetown Monastery had taken in many homeless children, and Sister Hiel was a loving elder to them.

“Little shark.” A smile played on Ciel’s lips, which were etched with laugh lines, and her bare face was softened by the touch of her smile. “Let me take a good look at you.”

She stood up, circled the ghost shark, and nodded. "It's changed a lot, but it's grown into a beautiful young naval girl."

Ghost Shark smiled brightly and chatted with her for a while. When Hiel learned that she only had one day off, she quickly stood up and made arrangements to go to the market to buy groceries and cook.

What a long-lost warmth!

Meanwhile, Andorn, dressed in black bishop's robes, arrived late, still holding a Bible in his hand, exuding a gentle and contemplative air.

"Still searching for your own path?" Laurentina asked with a smile, habitually tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

“Lauren Tina, I dare not answer you.” Andorn found a seat in the second row, his eyes fixed blankly out the window. “This exploration is so arduous, so hopeless, it almost makes one doubt whether there is any path forward at all…”

Rewind sixteen years, and in the square in front of the city hall, Andorn witnessed an execution ceremony that shocked the world.

Back then, in his youthful arrogance, he naively believed that as long as the ringleader was killed, strife and bloodshed would be far away from this sea.

Then reality slapped him hard in the face.

After Roger's death, the number of pirates increased, and the seas became increasingly chaotic.

He also began to reflect, meticulously analyzing the newspapers to uncover the themes of poverty, hunger, windfall gains, and human trafficking.

Everything ultimately pointed to that colossal structure.

During his exploration, he met Dorrag, who was also lost, and the two became friends.

Until one day, Dragon stood in front of him and asked him if he wanted to join the Revolutionary Army and overthrow the World Government.

That scene was witnessed by ten-year-old Laurentina, and after Dragon left, the girl asked him a couple of questions.

"Will the people live in peace and prosperity if a new king is appointed? Will the world be free and peaceful if the Celestial Dragons are overthrown?"

The simple question completely stumped Andorn.

As if to give him an answer, soon after, a country transformed by the revolutionary army quickly reverted to its old ways, and Dragon's efforts suddenly became a joke.

"This road is difficult, but I haven't given up yet."

In the sermon room, Andorn turned around, his gaze unwavering. "I have decided to travel the world to verify the answer you gave me."

“But your strength…” Laurentina hesitated, the man in front of her was just an ordinary person, a thinker, who was not capable of protecting himself.

“Just like you said, if you learn the truth in the morning, you will have no regrets even if you die at night.” Andorn smiled gently and walked towards the door. “Come on, Shiel has already prepared dinner.”

After dinner, Specter found Tina and the other two and took a walk in Loguetown at night to relax.

"Huh? You even bought me clothes?"

On the pebble path along the sea, Tina, with a Pocky stick in her mouth, handed over a bag of clothes, saying, "Don't worry, I've memorized your size."

"Thank you." Ghost Shark glanced at the bag.

Black jacket over dark red

A shirt, paired with pure black hot pants and leg wraps. If you wore this outfit with a Pocky stick in your mouth, you'd definitely look like a mafia boss.

As expected of Tina, her style of choosing clothes is always cool and aloof. She would be even cooler if she had a lightsaber.

Just then, a small, childish voice rang in their ears:

"Beautiful older sister, please give me some money."

Everyone turned around and saw a little girl with lifeless eyes and tattered clothes running over, stretching out her dirty little hands.

"Little sister, where is your mother?" Alice was always the one who empathized most easily with poor children.

“My mother is gone.” Her voice was flat and monotone. This four- or five-year-old child seemed to have no concept of family.

"Where did she go?"

"My mother starved to death."

Alice was met with the same emotionless, monotone reply, and the people around her fell silent.

"So, who else is in your family?" Alice couldn't help but ask, rubbing her head.

"No one is left."

Alice took a breath, picked her up, and then slowly put her down.

"If you feel sorry for me, give me money."

She gave a slight smirk, silently took a few steps forward, and gave the little girl several thousand Berries.

When the money was handed over, bruises could be seen on the little girl's wrist.

"How about we send her to a monastery... um?" Laurentina had barely finished speaking when her gaze unconsciously drifted towards the alleyway.

"They're probably just some gangsters and thugs..."

Sure enough, after the little girl took the money and left, the atmosphere in the alley gradually drifted away to another place.

"Tsk, still having to clean up trash so late at night." Laurentina spread her wings, flew into the sky, and disappeared into the night.

"Major General Tina, what about us?"

“They’re just minor characters.” Tina smiled and took out a Den Den Mushi, saying cheerfully, “Hey, Smoker, gather the Marines right away, you have a new job.”

"Where's the money? Hand it over!"

In the dark alley, the thugs snatched the money from the little girl's hand, glanced at the dirty dust with disdain, and kicked her to the ground.

"You're taking more this time!"

One of them counted the fifty banknotes, a satisfied smile on his face, then pulled out one and threw it at the little girl's head.

Wait a minute, isn't 100 Berries too much to eat?

He thought for a moment, then quickly picked up the banknotes and tossed a coin into his pocket.

In the dark and windy alley, the only sound was the rabble's eerie laughter as they counted their money, interspersed with the faint sobs of a little girl.

"Sigh, garbage is garbage."

A cold voice came from above, seemingly tinged with the soft glow of moonlight.

"What..."

The blood spear, as thick as a wrist, blasted off one of the men's heads in the blink of an eye. In the other man's daze, his companion became a headless corpse.

"what!!!"

The last remaining scoundrel shook his head dramatically, as if his brain had crashed, before bursting out an indescribable shriek of scum.

Whoosh!

However, in that instant, the ghost shark on the roof disappeared and reappeared in front of the rogue, a blood spear pressed against his neck.

The rogue seemed frozen in place, but the threat of death brought him to his senses instantly. If he shook his head even slightly, the blood-stained spear, gleaming with a cold light, would pierce his neck.

A white-haired woman looked at him calmly; she appeared to be one of the Yao Navy soldiers from before.

"I ask, you answer, understand?"

The rogue dared not nod, fearing he might hurt his neck, and could only tremble with fear and say yes.

Who is your leader?

"It's...ah! It's Boss Bartolomeo!"

The rogue hesitated for a moment, then thrust the blood spear forward, piercing a patch of skin, and he instantly became docile.

How many begging children like this are there in Rogge?

"have no idea..."

"Ok?"

"I really didn't know. Loguetown is so big, I know of at least 10 places."

Sand, sand, sand...

The figure in front of me slowly moved away.

The rogue, still shaken, breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran back to the Barto Club to report to his boss.

Damn woman, how dare you kill someone from the Barto Club! Boss Barto will never let you get away with this.

He thought angrily, clutching his neck as he quickly ran back to a building that looked like a mansion.

"Toka, it's you, hahaha, how was your harvest today?" A woman with a mohawk dressed like a young punk greeted him with a smile.

boom!

The thug Toka's head suddenly exploded, splattering thick blood all over the girl's face. Before she could react, a blood spear pierced her abdomen, and she collapsed to the ground.

A figure overlapping with the full moon flew down from the sky, its swaying shark earrings reflecting two points of silver light.

The sea has granted the young girl permission to hunt, and the predators will have nowhere to hide.

"Alert! Alert! Enemy intrusion!"
