Not long after.
With the assistance of the 16th Division of the Navy, Chacher brought the black-faced Smoker and the group of pirates ashore as well.
Even though there had been some unexpected incidents tonight, in a way... the result could still be considered a success.
As for Captain Smoker, because of his agreement with Garp, as long as he hadn't done anything out of line, there wouldn't be any trouble for now.
After ordering his men to take away the pirates—who were currently weak, cursing Mok for betraying the pirate code by siding with the Navy—Chacher turned to Udo.
"Have the Navy keep an eye on the pirates. Don't let anything unexpected happen."
They would decide how to deal with them tomorrow.
As for the Krieg Pirates, he had already taken care of them. Now, the only ones left were the nameless, low-bounty pirates being used to train Kuina's combat skills.
"Robin, help out too. Keep an eye on things and make sure nothing goes wrong."
"No problem, Boss~"
After hearing Robin's reply, Chacher turned around again.
Looking at Mok, who was sadly touching the battered pirate ship, Chacher paused for a moment and said, "Don't bother touching it, Mok. I've prepared a new ship for you. This one's been used for a long time—it's time for a change. I'll need you to take charge again soon."
As soon as he finished speaking—
The sad expression on Mok's face vanished, replaced by a cheerful grin. He quickly walked over.
"Boss, what kind of ship is it? Is it big? Is it pretty?"
"The exclusive pirate ship of the Krieg Pirates' captain, do you think it's big?"
"That huge sailing ship with three decks? Boss, you're giving it to me?"
Hearing Captain Chacher's words, Moke's face instantly lit up with excitement. Then remembering the boss had a mission, he immediately straightened up proudly.
"Please give the orders, Boss. What's next? Are we going to mess with another pirate ship? Or do I have to memorize some hard lines again? I will definitely get it done."
"No need to be so tense, it's just a little finishing touch."
Chacher said this to Mok, then turned and smiled at Captain Smoker standing nearby.
"Since you're here!"
"What do you want to do?"
Though he had agreed with Vice Admiral Garp to temporarily keep this place a secret, Smoker would never cooperate with pirates.
Just as Smoker was about to impatiently say he had no time and wouldn't help, Chacher patted his shoulder and continued seriously,
"The pirates are strong. I hope Captain Smoker can assist the Navy's 16th Division in arresting the pirates causing trouble this time."
…
Not long after,
On the other side,
The pirates who had been arranged to land at a slightly more remote spot suddenly found themselves completely surrounded.
Surrounded by countless Navy soldiers.
And the female Navy officer leading them… was incredibly powerful?!
No one could stop her. Wielding a sword, wherever she went, countless pirates fell.
Looking at the dense Navy forces ahead and the terrifying female swordsman leading them, the pirates couldn't help but feel a wave of despair rise inside.
Could it be… they were trapped?
What about the Mok Pirates and the Krieg Pirates?
Just as everyone was panic-stricken and desperate,
Suddenly,
"Mok Pirate Ship, that's the Mok Pirate Ship!"
Someone shouted, and the desperate pirates all looked toward the sea.
A battered pirate ship appeared in the distance, chased closely by a Navy warship, cannon fire lighting up the scene.
On the pirate ship, a figure stood at the railing with arms crossed, a golden cloak glowing under the bright moonlight.
Even amidst the gunfire, he wore a calm smile, fearless as he slowly approached them.
This was none other than the East Blue Overlord — Captain Mok.
As the pirates watched in shock and delight, Captain Mok let out his distinctive laugh and shouted, "Wahaha, brothers, I'm here to save you!"
At that moment,
All the pirates cheered loudly.
But they didn't notice behind them...
On the Navy warship, another figure clenched a cigar with a pale face, seemingly making a harsh, unpleasant sound.
Year 1517 of the Sea Calendar.
The new East Blue Overlord issued a pirate summons to the East Blue, intending to massacre the Navy's 16th Division and provoke the Navy Headquarters.
Countless great pirates from the East Blue responded to the Overlord's call, rushing over to participate in this grand event of the East Blue.
Under the overwhelming pirate forces in pursuit, the Navy's 16th Division fought bravely but was still outmatched and overwhelmed by the pirates, who broke through the defenses and stormed the Navy base.
Heavy losses were suffered; the base was destroyed, and casualties were countless.
In an instant, wreckage and ruins were everywhere!
Many Navy members cried out in despair, gripped by fear. But as Navy personnel, they still remembered their mission.
No matter how terrified, they refused to compromise or surrender to the pirates.
However.
Though the Navy were fearless, the combined strength of the 16th Division alone was not enough to resist the terrifying pirate attack led by the former East Blue Overlord and the new Overlord.
Fortunately, Captain Smoker from the Log Town Division arrived in time to provide support…
"That's right, write it exactly like this."
Chacher looked at the notes in Udo's hand, who was recording this battle, and nodded with satisfaction before saying seriously,
"Emphasize the helplessness of the 16th Division, their despair facing the overwhelming pirate assault, and highlight the heavy losses of the Navy base.
Take this opportunity to ask the Navy Headquarters for more funding to rebuild the division."
As he spoke, seeming to recall something, Chacher ignored Udo, who was glancing around at the intact Navy base and trying to say something, and spoke seriously again.
"We must also highlight the importance of the Log Town Division.
It was under Captain Smoker's leadership that the 16th Division managed to hold back the pirate attack and turn the tide."
After he finished speaking.
Before Udo, who was standing behind him and hesitating to say something, could speak,
Suddenly.
"Captain Dande Chacher!"
A cold voice, as if suppressing some anger, came from behind.
Chacher quickly turned around and saw Captain Smoker standing right behind him, glaring with eyes as if he had never seen such shamelessness before.
Chacher chuckled and quickly said, "Hahaha, has Captain Smoker returned?"
Ignoring Captain Smoker's scowl, he immediately put on a serious expression.
"Thank you for the support from the Log Town branch this time!"
