"Colonel Malvern, yes, you are still the colonel I respect, but you may not know that I was actually born in an orphanage set up by the World Government and grew up there. That remote place is far away from where we are now.

The Beihai branch base where it is located is a full week's voyage away."

"Ever since I can remember, the funds of the orphanage have been very tight. Therefore, only those children who are cute or who are liked by the director can have enough to eat. And most of the little ones, including me, are often

Hungry."

"But even so, every morning when it's still dark, we have to go to the yard to weed and do some cleaning; and even if the weather suddenly turns bad, we have to take care of the delicate animals raised by the dean first.

Flowers, and then you can take care of yourself... In fact, a little boy with whom I had a good relationship at the time accidentally broke a flower pot while moving it, and was severely beaten by the dean.

Then he was kicked out of the orphanage."

"So, for me, I did not join the navy for the so-called justice. Because the higher-level management organization of our orphanage is a nearby navy branch; and our orphanage always drinks and eats meat alone.

, the dean who also likes to beat people is a retired lieutenant colonel from that branch..."

"The navy is the navy, and the world government is the world government. They have never represented justice and greatness... These additional contents are just the excessive expectations of some people. And I, I am just for this job, to be able to eat

I only joined the navy when I had enough food and meat to eat, so I never had any special illusions, so naturally I would not feel disappointed like you."

"Colonel Malvern, you are a good officer and a good sailor, so I sincerely hope that you can realize your ideals step by step after leaving the navy. But I, my subordinate, decided to stay in this ordinary Beihai branch and be confused.

Fighting pirates and living an ordinary life, it would be great if you can finally retire safely instead of dying on the battlefield."

After hearing what the sailor said, a few people who were about to stand up also sat down again after a little hesitation... Yes, they are not great people like Colonel Malvern who joined the navy.

The purpose is not that lofty. Although the future has been affected to some extent, it is still better than defecting from the navy directly.

Colonel Malvern just looked at these people silently, while Tezzolo behind him glared at them, as if he was about to get angry at any time.

But then Colonel Malvern just smiled:

"Thank you for saying so much to me, and thank you for being honest with me at this time. Finally, as your former commander, I hope that those of you who choose to stay here will not leave this conference room before dawn.

"

After saying these words, Colonel Malvern strode away, and Tezzolo followed him with the leaving sailors.

When he walked out of the door, Colonel Malvern stopped. He turned around and took one last look at everyone in the conference room:

"Come on, boys, maybe we will be enemies next time we meet... I won't give in, hahahaha!"

After they left, a large number of high-speed surging seawater suddenly appeared, wrapping up the entire conference room, like a special water prison in the Imperial Prison - although it was said that it was the old man who wanted these choices to stay.

The subordinates were not allowed to leave, but Colonel Malvern took measures on his own to be on the safe side.

…

"What the hell? Colonel Malvern got the ability of what is suspected to be a natural water-based fruit? He also sneaked into the Beihai Naval Branch Base and took away a group of sailors and two warships?"

The next day, Porusalino woke up from the 50-square-meter gorgeous bed in Leandre Palace's home. Before he had time to sigh that the sun was so beautiful today, it was perfect for him to continue soaking in the swimming pool with Leandre Palace, when he was greeted by the Warring States Marshal.

I was confused by a sudden phone call.

Isn't the natural water fruit something I just casually drank? This kind of devil fruit, which is almost the opposite of all abilities, actually exists? And it was eaten by Colonel Malvern?

Then he also cosplayed General Zefa from the original plot of One Piece? He became the strongest enemy m? The strongestのm?

Without giving Porusalino too much time to think, Marshal Warring States continued on the other end of the phone:

"Although this kid Malvin's previous strength can only be said to be so-so, but now that he has obtained the natural water fruit, we can no longer ignore his combat power and destructive power... The Five Old Stars and I still have time.

Big brother discussed it and finally decided to let you be responsible for hunting him down. There is no time limit for the task."

"No, Marshal Sengoku, I was also a former subordinate of Colonel Malvern. Why should I go after him? He took away so many sailors. Logically speaking, I should cooperate with the investigation at this time, right?"

"Are you cooperating with the investigation?"

Even from an unknown distance of many kilometers, Porusalino could hear the disgust in the Warring States Marshal's tone, "Think about the amount of subsidies you have received this year, and then think about what you have accomplished so far.

The workload, what do you think is wrong with that kid Malvern, so he contacted you with the idea of ​​doing something and tried to take you out of the navy?"

"When you say this, it seems...it seems...that this is the truth?"

Porusalino laughed dryly and said haha.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'll give you an hour to come to my office. There are still some details I need to discuss with you."

"Hey, wait! Don't hang up in a hurry!"

Hearing that Marshal Sengoku was about to hang up the phone, Porusalino immediately stopped him and said, "Marshal Sengoku, while you and the Five Old Stars were still free to talk to the commander-in-chief, didn't you talk about the document I handed over?

?Didn’t they say something? Even if it’s not approved, you have to tell me. Otherwise, I’m obviously in Mariejoia, thinking about this every day, and I can’t even enjoy... I mean, I can’t work.

I put my heart and soul into it.”

"Don't do this to me. Don't you still understand what we mean? I have to make it clear, right?"

The Warring States Marshal on the other end of the phone did not give Porusalino any face and exposed him mercilessly.

That's right, the day after the documents were submitted, Porusalino actually understood what the big guys in the World Government meant - not that he received a secret notice, but because of his status

Based on his past situation, the documents he submitted will definitely be reviewed with higher priority by these big bosses, and no matter what the outcome, they will definitely communicate with him in detail.

But this time there was no news, so there must be only one truth, that is, the bosses had actually approved Porusalino's document, but they did not intend to make their decision public.

The purpose is to let Porusalino take the initiative and show his personal will - in this case, if there is a mistake in the plan, then the World Government can completely not take the blame, and even issue a clarification statement, explaining that it has never agreed with Polusalino

No's idea.

Of course, Porusalino is not an ordinary sailor who can be manipulated by others, and it is impossible for the Five Old Stars to really let him take this kind of risk without any reward - in exchange for benefits, they gave Polu

Salino a suitable platform to play.

That's right, it's the so-called mission to hunt down his former superior, Colonel Malvern!

You must know that since the establishment of the Navy, there has never been a mission with "no mission deadline". The existence of such a mission itself has already hinted a lot.

——Oh, Colonel Malvern is so cunning, I haven’t been able to catch him for fifty years!

——Oh, Colonel Malvern has been shot to death, but there is no body left at all! So is the evidence!

No matter which choice it was, in exchange, the Five Stars actually gave Porusalino the power to deal with Colonel Malvern, and in the name of going on a mission, they also helped him find someone to take the initiative to execute him.

chance of that document.

Of course, just like in the theatrical version of The Strongest Enemy, the world government and navy have the confidence to steadily defeat General Zefa from beginning to end - the reason why the five old stars are willing to take down Colonel Malvern

Destiny's exchange of interests with Porusalino actually shows that they not only think that Colonel Malvern's destructiveness is acceptable, but also that they actually have a natural devil fruit that can restrain the Water Fruit.

means.

"Then I won't go to your place and go directly to the New World."

Porusalino suddenly said, "Isn't the information from last night very clear? Whitebeard and the Beasts have already taken action. Although Big Mom is still waiting and watching, the warships of the Charlotte family have also begun to assemble...

…”

"As for the last red-haired man, he and his cadres should be able to arrive at Fish-Man Island tonight..."

"...Okay, but are you sure you don't need to use the manuscript I wrote for you? Xiaohe even helped to revise it."

"Hmph! Who do you think I am? I never think I will lose to anyone in this kind of job of controlling the momentum in a big scene!"

…

After explaining to old man Simon that he and others were reserve members of the Revolutionary Army, and roughly describing the plan he had in mind, Luo took them to a forest on the west coast of Happy Island.

This forest is no different from other forests on the island, except that there is an open space in the middle, which seems to be artificially created.

Xia Qi, Pei Jin and Bebo looked around in confusion. Only old Simon frowned and looked at the ground in the open space - his intuition told him that there was a secret hidden under the ground.

This was indeed the case. Luo Qing walked to the middle of the open space with familiarity, and then pulled open a piece of cloth that perfectly covered the ground, revealing a metal door.

Luo inserted the key into the door and turned it, and the door opened with a click.

"Awesome! Is this your own secret base, Brother Luo?"

Bebo shouted excitedly.

"This was Mr. Karas's secret base. After he and Mr. Long left, it was left to me to take care of," Luo said while reminding them, "There are electric lights inside which are still very bright, but below

The stairs are very steep, be careful not to fall."

The group of people walked down the stairs under the leadership of Luo.

After walking along the spiral staircase for a while, the front suddenly became clear.

What appeared in front of everyone was a room filled with countless weird machines, as well as a pool filled with what looked like culture fluid, experimental flasks, beakers and measuring cylinders, as well as an unusual-looking axe.

, weapons such as guns and swords.

"Mr. Karas is not only a powerful esper, but also a genius inventor. That's why Mr. Long specially found him and invited him to join the revolutionary army."

Luo explained with a smile on his face.

"This is too awesome..."

Xia Qi's tone revealed unconcealed surprise and yearning. He also likes tinkering with machines and inventions, but his conditions have always been very limited - in fact, in the original plot of One Piece, he is the future

A crew member responsible for mechanical repairs in the Heart Pirates.

"Okay, let's not waste time. If you want to see it in the future, you will still have a chance. Mr. Simon, please take the knife over there. Since we are going to fight Arthur, that thing is absolutely essential."
