Pirate: Role-Playing System

Chapter 27: Should We Tell Them? (Second update, seeking collection of fresh flower tickets)

Zephyr's warship was very large, and Zhao Xu couldn't tell the model, but it was the latest type of Marine ship that could cross the Calm Belt.

It couldn't be mass-produced, only produced on a small scale, and was extremely expensive.

So everyone who was assigned to this type of ship was a high-ranking Marine!

It can only be said that Zephyr's ships are truly remarkable.

The interior space was very large. Even though they were confined to the ship and couldn't move around like on land, Zhao Xu didn't feel bored.

At most, he felt a bit nervous because he had to maintain Saitama's appearance all the time.

However, there were still some small incidents during the voyage.

Pirates were a specialty of this Great Age of Navigation.

Especially after crossing the Calm Belt and arriving at the Grand Line, pirates were as numerous as hairs on an ox.

Every time they encountered pirates, Zhao Xu didn't actively rush out, but calmly and slowly walked over. When he arrived, the other Marines would either be victorious or at a disadvantage.

He didn't need to take action for victory, but when they were at a disadvantage, he quickly took action and defeated the enemy's leader with one punch.

This also made Zephyr secretly nod in approval.

Giving new recruits and soldiers a chance, although that person named Saitama lacked social skills, he would definitely become a good Marine!

Furthermore, Saitama had a gentle temperament and didn't even wear Marine uniforms, so he didn't put pressure on people.

Over time, not only Zephyr, but even the Marines became familiar with this excessively strong bald man.

"Lord Saitama!" Tashigi looked excitedly at Saitama as he jumped back onto the warship from the enemy pirate ship.

"You've worked hard."

"Mm." Saitama still had a silly and cute expression as he looked at Tashigi. "Who are you...?"

"Don't you remember? I'm Tashigi!" Tashigi stood on her tiptoes and handed Saitama the sword she had. "You gave me this sword back then!"

"Oh, it's you." Saitama nodded. "Why are you on the ship?"

"Zephyr saw potential in me and let me come on board!" Tashigi said excitedly.

Being recognized by Zephyr was no small matter. It could be said that her future was boundless.

Moreover, to have the qualifications to board the ship, she would have to wait at least three more years.

However, now she was being recognized ahead of time thanks to Saitama's influence...

However...

"A child this young is also a Marine..." Saitama frowned. "Doesn't the World Government have a complete conscription law? At the very least, they should prohibit minors under 18 from joining the military!"

Tashigi: "???"

...Skipping the middle interlude...

Without hesitation, Zephyr's ship sailed towards a certain island in the Grand Line.

Zhao Xu could tell that the closer they got to the target island, the more ships appeared, gathering here.

Obviously, the Marines were also going all out.

When they got close enough, Marine soldiers immediately came to report and asked Zephyr to attend a meeting.

As a newcomer highly regarded by Zephyr, Zhao Xu was also brought along by him.

As soon as they walked in, Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed.

Kizaru, Akainu, Aokiji, and Fujitora...

Just by Zhao Xu's recognition, there were already four people.

And the person sitting in one of the main seats was not wearing Marine uniform, but wearing a mask that obstructed the view.

"The World Government?" Zhao Xu squinted his eyes and thought to himself.

The World Government is very powerful.

Just the Marines under the World Government have three Admirals, Garp, Zephyr, Sengoku, and other powerful forces. If someone were to say that the World Government doesn't have any strong individuals, Zhao Xu would be the first to not believe it.

Obviously, the person in front of him should be a strong individual affiliated with the World Government!

Everyone gathered together, and as one of the few who wasn't wearing Marine uniform, Saitama attracted everyone's attention.

"Zephyr-sensei, who is this person?" Akainu frowned and asked.

"He's a recruit I just took in from the Marines. You don't need to worry about him," Zephyr smiled and said, "We're here to defeat that person named Uchiha Madara."

"It seems like you value him a lot..."

Everyone also chose to accept it, because the current focus was not on this newcomer.

But on... the avenger Uchiha Madara!

"According to our intelligence, Uchiha Madara is staying on this island," Crane pointed at the map with his cane and said in a low voice, "So I've decided to disperse our forces, with three Admirals and several experts as support, slowly surround him..."

On the map, several warships were drawn around an island, showing a trend of encirclement towards the island.

The configuration of the Buster Call consisted of five Vice Admirals, ten Rear Admirals, nearly ten thousand elite Marines, and ten top-level warships.

However, at this moment, there were already about five Admiral-level combatants in this place alone!

Crane's plan was simple and straightforward.

Surround the island, slowly approach, with Admiral-level combatants as the core, and force that man out!

If he doesn't show himself once they reach the border of the island...

Then they will use the Buster Call to completely cover the island!

After all, there is only one small town here. It's enough to send one Admiral to bring it under control, and they can inspect it slowly in the future.

"Mr. CP0 of the World Government, do you have any objections to my command?" Crane finished explaining and faced the strong individual from CP0.

"If I have to say, there is one thing," the person was not polite either, their hypocritical voice came through the mask, "I'm curious why you still want to bring in the villagers. Don't you know that those villagers could also be transformed by Uchiha Madara?"

"That's just a matter of probability. Our Marine's responsibility is to protect the citizens," Crane calmly said, "And you can't be sure that Uchiha Madara is one hundred percent on the island. It goes against our duty to eliminate all the villagers based on a possibility."

"The intelligence came from my CP0, it's absolutely true. Our intelligence officer saw Uchiha Madara enter!"

"Bringing in the villagers is not a troublesome matter. Watch them closely and temporarily detain the villagers in seastone cages. There's a high possibility of capturing Uchiha Madara..."

The two of them exchanged words, their tones calm but with opposing views.

And behind them...

"You see, without the Marine's intelligence network, it would be so difficult to find such a wicked criminal, right?" Zephyr recommended Marine to Saitama, "And with the cooperation of Marine experts, we can better surround him!"

"Joining the Marines is definitely the best decision in your life!"

"This time, that Uchiha Madara will definitely not escape!"

Zephyr said with unwavering confidence.

Zhao Xu: "..."

Should I tell him that just a moment ago, my clone had already completed the mission and dissipated on its own?
