#162 - Chapter 162 Dover and Enelu
West Sea.
Border of the Flower Country.
“The Happo Navy?”
Diaz Bando frowned mockingly, observing the coastline not far away and the flags flashing with national emblems through a telescope.
His mockery was undisguised.
“A country that takes pirates as subordinates is truly laughable.”
Next to him, a crew member holding a rope couldn't help but ask after hearing the captain's words,
“Captain, aren’t we not much different from them…”
He looked down at the clothes on his body, those symbols that once represented freedom, but now were gradually becoming Jin-an's loyal subordinates.
They were indeed pirates who had been subdued by Jin-an and worked for him.
Fighting, plundering, and adventure, all of these no longer belonged to them.
Instead, they obeyed Jin-an's orders and plans.
Diaz Bando's body stiffened upon hearing this, he craned his neck, “The nature is different, we have rights and status they don’t.”
“Let’s not talk about this, the South Sea is already impenetrable,”
Diaz Bando put away the telescope, he turned to face his team.
“Jin-an asked us to come to the West Sea to slowly take it over, do you all understand?”
The pirates nodded, their eyes wavering between doubt and awe, but eventually turned into obedience.
......
G5 Branch.
Under the scorching sun, a wide parasol cast a cool shadow.
Jin-an sat in this shade, sunglasses covering his eyes, but his eyes were on a busy scene.
Not far away, Doflamingo's face was flushed, and he was sweating profusely.
His fingers moved nimbly, like a conductor dancing in the air.
And what he was manipulating were huge wall bricks.
Each piece was precisely installed in the gap in the city wall.
Even in such a hot sun, his ability was still eye-catching.
It's just that his expression at the moment seemed a little unhappy.
“Jin-an, I'm really convinced by you.”
Doflamingo looked up at Jin-an, complaining, with a hint of helplessness in his voice,
“I never get the good stuff, and I always get the dirty work!”
At this moment, Enel walked past him.
He punched Doflamingo on the head, his tone unquestionable:
“Just do what Jin-an tells you to do, why so much nonsense.”
His voice was extremely calm, for him, he just needed to complete what Jin-an told him to do.
“Doffy, you have to learn to love what you do.”
Jin-an's tone was peaceful,
“I’m training your abilities, you’ll thank me when you’re invincible in the future.”
Doflamingo stopped what he was doing, full of doubt about Jin-an's words.
He scoffed,
“I’m almost done with this wall,”
He pointed to the almost completed city wall in front of him, barely raising a smug smile at the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly, his face changed,
“I propose a duel now,”
“I want to fight this long earlobe, and if I win, I want to rest.”
He was extremely determined, with vivid memories of the conflict not long ago.
That guy punched him just now, and with his personality, he would take revenge on the spot.
“And I want him to do all my work.”
In Enel's deep eyes, there was a flash of disdain.
In Doflamingo's challenge, Enel stood still.
In his eyes, Doflamingo couldn't even do this little thing, and didn't deserve to fight him.
He turned around, glanced at the gradually finishing wall brick project, Doflamingo's gorgeous clothes were flashy in his eyes.
Enel thought, if it was really a war, he was really afraid that the other party's "tender skin" would not be able to withstand his casual blow.
With a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, Enel shook his head contemptuously, his fingers tapping lightly on the metal rod beside him.
Jin-an shook his head, in his eyes, Doflamingo had maintained his childlike innocence after so many years.
Still懟天懟地懟air.
He said softly, “Okay, go and rest if you want to rest.”
He knew Doflamingo well, knowing that it was better to give him freedom than to force him.
He also knew that Enel never had any sense of propriety when he made a move. If these two really clashed, Doflamingo would probably be in danger.
As Doflamingo's figure gradually moved away, Jin-an's gaze gradually converged, and instead he was immersed in boundless thoughts.
As the base commander of the G5 branch, he shoulders a heavy responsibility, and his mind seems to have already fluttered on the wide sea.
The Grand Line is not just an adventure, but also a battlefield where countless forces are intertwined.
Jin-an knew that on this sea, there were countless forces that could be named.
He knew that the G5 branch was located on a key node in the second half of the Grand Line, which was a must-pass route for pirates and a meeting point for various conflicts and disputes.
The importance of this place is self-evident.
Now, the various forces in the second half of the Grand Line have begun to gain a firm foothold, Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido, Moria, Golden Lion, Red Earl, and those remaining members of the Rocks Pirates.
Each pirate group is not easy to deal with.
Moreover, every pirate group is likely to come here.
“Woooo!!!”
The alarm pierced the silent sea.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the base became tense.
“Vice Admiral, pirates are coming in this direction, please return to the base.”
A branch navy ran to Jin-an breathlessly, covered in sweat.
Everyone who could move in the base was put into the project of repairing the base, and this navy was no exception.
Jin-an was expressionless, but sighed in his heart.
A trace of self-deprecation flashed in his deep eyes, as if mocking his fate. It seemed that wherever he appeared, he could always brush shoulders with trouble.
‘Why does trouble come wherever I go.’ He was speechless in his heart.
However, there was no tremor in his voice, and he replied: “Okay, you go back first.”
As Jin-an's eyes swept around, he noticed that the navies had quickly and orderly returned to their posts, and couldn't help but feel a little admiration for this discipline and efficiency.
It is said that the navies of the G5 branch do not look like navies at all.
But in Jin-an's opinion, the fighting spirit of the navies here when facing pirates was something he had never seen anywhere else.
Like the calm before the storm, the area was empty except for the necessary personnel, leaving only a few people.
Jin-an turned to Enel beside him,
“Enel, come back with me first and see what’s going on.”
Enel always did things his own way.
But at this moment, even he felt the urgency of the situation.
He nodded silently, following Jin-an's footsteps closely.
The figures of the two quickly disappeared into the gate of the base, leaving the empty alarm echoing throughout the area.
