After maxing out his regular Armament Haki, Andy still had 170 million bounty points left, which he decided to save for a rainy day.
With his current strength, as long as he didn't encounter an Admiral, he could handle anything!
Andy was very satisfied and happy to have reached max level before entering the Grand Line!
It seemed he could celebrate the New Year in the Grand Line.
He had a Log Pose and sea charts, so next, he needed to prepare more food, fruits, and fresh water, and then he would set off for the Grand Line!
Andy immediately entered the forest.
After Andy left, Kuma and the other Revolutionary Army members dared to walk out, and Oster's eyes filled with hatred as he looked at the corpses of the Sea Wolf Pirates members on the shore.
Not long after their Silvia Kingdom was expelled from the World Government's allied nations, they were plundered by the Sea Wolf Pirates.
In that disaster, many people in their city were killed, raped, and abducted, and most of their treasures were stolen.
The Sea Wolf Pirates had been active in the West Blue for many years, and the Marine had never been able to eliminate them, yet now they had been wiped out by Red Hawk alone.
It was truly ironic that a pirate had accomplished something the Marine couldn't do in over a decade.
"I'll go look in the sea; the Sea Wolf Pirates have been active in the West Blue for so long, they should have a lot of treasure, and Red Hawk probably needs these things," Oster said, taking off his shirt and jumping into the sea.
Kuma and the others on the shore exchanged glances, then also took off their shirts and jumped in to help.

Soon after, in the forest, Andy had already lit a bonfire and was grilling Blood Bull Beast meat, which sizzled with oil.
"I haven't eaten this in days, can this really be eaten?" Andy stared at a skewer of freshly grilled beef in his hand.
After thinking for a moment, he took a bite.
"Hmm?" As soon as he bit down, Andy's eyes instantly lit up, "It's crispy, has no strange taste, and it's quite delicious!"
Immediately after, his left hand retrieved a bottle of fine wine from Kuma's bar from his spatial storage, and with a skewer of crispy meat in his right hand, his afternoon tea for today was as simple as that.
After eating and drinking his fill, the Blood Bull Beast meat was almost fully grilled; he broke it into pieces and stored it in his system space, then collected a lot of fruit in the forest before returning to the city.
"Hmm?"
"What's up, something you need me for?" As soon as he returned to his temporary lodging, Andy saw Oster, Kuma, and others waiting at the door with a pile of treasures.
He raised an eyebrow, looking at these guys.
At this moment, Oster stepped forward, his expression very calm, yet one could easily see the sincerity on his face.
"Red Hawk, thank you for eliminating the Sea Wolf Pirates and avenging the countless civilians of this city from back then!
All these treasures were collected from the Sea Wolf Pirates' sunken ships, and we offer them all to you as a small token of our appreciation.
Although… you were the one who eliminated the Sea Wolf Pirates, we truly don't have anything valuable left." Oster looked at Andy, his tone very serious.
Andy looked at Oster indifferently for a few seconds before speaking: "I accept your kindness; you may leave."
After speaking, he directly stored all the treasures in his spatial storage.
Seeing Andy accept them, Oster was overjoyed: "Thank you again, Red Hawk!"
Then, with excited hearts, the Revolutionary Army members exchanged glances and left Andy's lodging.
Andy quietly watched them leave, muttering softly to himself: "Truly interesting… middle-aged men."
He then shook his head and went inside the house.
These Revolutionary Army members are very idealistic and very naive.
The location of Silvia Kingdom, this island, is too important; it was fine when Silvia Kingdom was an allied nation.
Now that this country has been expelled from the allied nations, they will not allow a Port City with such an important geographical location to be controlled by a non-allied nation.
Andy guessed.
The final outcome would be that this Port City would become like Loguetown in the East Blue, subordinate to the World Government, and a strategically important maritime town firmly controlled by the Marine.
However, the Revolutionary Army in the West Blue probably wouldn't anticipate such an outcome…

While Andy was recuperating, Aokiji, who was cycling towards Silvia Kingdom, stopped again to take a call.
After hanging up, his brow furrowed, and his expression became slightly more serious.
He hadn't expected that in just over a year, Red Hawk Andy would be able to defeat an established pirate crew like the Sea Wolf Pirates.
Red Hawk Andy's growth speed was somewhat beyond his expectations.
After a brief moment of thought, he continued pedaling his bicycle, moving forward towards Silvia Kingdom.
However, his speed was much faster than before he took the call.

After returning to his temporary lodging, Andy took a bath and fell asleep, not even waking up for dinner.
He slept until the next morning.
After waking up, Andy went to Kuma's bar; he decided to have a light breakfast.
"Kuma, for breakfast, I'll have some vegetable salad and a few glasses of milk," Andy said immediately upon entering the bar, before even sitting down.
Hearing Andy's words, Kuma paused, then tilted his head to look at Andy, wanting to confirm again: "Milk?"
"Yes, you heard right, milk. I'm planning to leave after breakfast," Andy confirmed to Kuma again.
"Hehehe~ Milk is good, milk is much better than alcohol," Kuma said with a chuckle, feeling that Andy had finally learned to be good.
"No, wait!" Kuma reacted instantly, "You mean, after breakfast, you're going to leave Silvia Kingdom?"
"That's right, those pirates don't dare to come to Silvia Kingdom anymore, what am I still doing here?" Andy casually replied.
Kuma was speechless for a moment; it was strange that a pirate liked killing pirates more than the Marine did.
He turned and went into the back room to make breakfast for Andy.
In a short while, a breakfast packed with Vitamin C was ready, and Kuma also poured Andy a large glass of milk.
Andy didn't stand on ceremony and started eating immediately.
Kuma looked at Andy, his face showing a hesitant expression, and finally, he couldn't help but ask: "Um… Red Hawk, why do you like killing pirates so much, considering you're also a pirate?"
Hearing this, Andy looked up at Kuma and said meaningfully: "What do you mean 'like killing pirates'? I'm just making a small contribution to the peace of this sea, so Kuma, make sure not to do anything bad~"
Kuma was stunned, his face even turning a little pale; he seemed to feel that what Red Hawk had just said sounded like the truth?
After finishing breakfast, Andy waved to Kuma, then left the bar and walked towards the sea.
Upon reaching the port, he released his jet ski, got on it, twisted the throttle, and left the Port City.
Not far from the coast, Andy stopped and looked back. He felt that if he ever returned, this place would probably become a second Loguetown.
Thinking of this, he shook his head, scoffing at himself, what did that have to do with him?
Just as he was about to start his jet ski, his gaze suddenly shot towards another direction on the sea, and then a sniper rifle immediately appeared in his hand.
Aokiji, who was more than ten kilometers away, seemed to sense something; he stopped his bicycle and also looked in Andy's direction.
But the next second, his body immediately began to elementalize.
"Bang!"
"Boom!!!"
A high-speed rotating sniper rifle bullet, wrapped in Haki, directly hit Aokiji, then exploded with a roar.
Blasting Aokiji into ice shards!
Back on Andy's side, he put away the smoking sniper rifle, looked in Aokiji's direction, and murmured: "Admiral Aokiji, we will meet again."
As his voice fell, the jet ski shot out at maximum speed, quickly disappearing where the sky met the water.
An Admiral, huh? He fired a shot and didn't run?
The shattered ice shards slowly re-formed into Aokiji's body. He looked in the direction Andy had left, then at his shattered bicycle.
His brows furrowed into a "river" shape.
"Arara~ What an impolite brat!" Aokiji was angry; that bicycle had been his old companion for many years!
