With the fall of Hedges, many navy soldiers surrounded the remaining pirates.
"Put down your weapons and squat with your hands on your head!"
The remaining pirates looked at each other and put down their weapons with all their heart.
Our captain was killed by someone with a single blow. If we don't surrender, we will be committing suicide.
A tall man in a cloak came up to Alan and said helplessly:
"Captain Alan, why did you kill another person with special abilities?"
Just as he was about to continue speaking, Alan immediately interrupted him.
"Alright, alright... West, you just couldn't stop for a moment."
The man's name is West, currently serving as a major in the 104th branch. He is Alan's adjutant and is in charge of all matters, big and small.
Of course Alan wouldn't tell West that I was just careless on purpose.
The rewards for killing and defeating are quite different.
Apparently this wasn't the first time Alan had done this.
Faced with Alan's reaction, West could only rub his temples helplessly.
"I have to explain to General Sengoku again..."
Alan's achievements can be said to be numerous, and he never leaves anyone alive every time. For this reason, Sengoku, who has not yet become a Fleet Admiral, has talked to Alan more than once.
Although Sengoku doesn't care about the lives of pirates, it's different for people with special abilities.
After the death of the ability user, the devil fruit will reappear on the sea, so when facing the ability user, the navy will choose to send him to Impel Down.
So when facing Alan, who has made many achievements but always suppresses pirates with thunder, Sengoku has both love and hate for him.
It seemed as if I saw the shadow of Sakazuki in him.
Alan simply chose to ignore his adjutant's complaints.
"I'll leave it to you guys to handle from now on. Brothers, the old rules still apply here."
West also nodded.
The so-called 'old rules' were established after Alan took office as the supreme commander of the 104th branch. All members who followed and participated in the battle would give 50% of the spoils to their brothers.
If you want your subordinates to work for you, you can't be stingy.
Alan walked towards the crowd watching at the back, and cheers suddenly came from the crowd.
"Long live Captain Alan...!"
"Captain Alan is so handsome, I want to give birth to a baby for you!"
"...Thank you, Captain Alan."
"Yes, yes. If it weren't for Captain Alan, we would have been in great danger today."
Alan did not act condescendingly when facing the common people, but greeted them in a casual manner.
"Alright everyone, the vicious pirate has been brought to justice! Disperse."
Upon hearing this, the crowd slowly dispersed. Even after most of the crowd had left, a little pink-haired girl was still standing there.
Alan recognized her at a glance. It was little Hina who he rescued a few minutes ago.
Alan slowly came to little Hina and squatted down, and his big hand touched her long pink hair.
"You are Hina, right..."
Now I have time to take a good look at Hina in front of me.
Hina in front of me has long pink hair and wears a worn white dress. Although she is only eleven or twelve years old, she is indeed a beauty.
When Alan touched her head, Hina closed her eyes to show that she felt very comfortable.
Hina quickly reacted, her cheeks flushed, and she immediately bowed to Alan.
"Big...Big brother, thank you for saving Hina."
Alan couldn't help but feel in a good mood when he saw the soft and tender little loli in front of him.
"Well... Big Brother is a marine, it's his duty to protect you."
King Navia, who was far away in the palace, said, "That's not what you said when you asked me for money!"
Hina stared at Alan with twinkling eyes and said firmly:
"Hina wants to become a marine like her big brother in the future!"
Looking at Hina with a serious face, Alan patted her head again.
"Then it's a deal. If Hina wants to join the navy in the future, come find me at Branch 104."
Looking at the cute little Hina in front of him, Alan certainly had no other thoughts.
After all, this is too cruel.
"Hmm..." Hina nodded firmly.
Then she chose to say goodbye.
Looking at Hina who looked back after walking a few steps ahead, Alan also smiled.
Soon after,
West came behind Alan,
"Captain Alan, the remaining pirates have all been escorted onto the warships, and man's pirate ship has been seized!"
"Then notify them to leave work early today." Alan twisted his neck.
West immediately raised doubts.
"What about the pirates on the ship?"
Alan didn't care at all.
"A few pirates with no bounty on them, just ran away."
On the sea, bounties were originally intended to be rewards for wanted persons that could not be paid, but in the eyes of pirates they have become a symbol of strength and status.
West was speechless, but still chose to obey the order.
He couldn't understand why he had to deal with such an irresponsible boss?
Although his superior is usually unreliable.
But he dared to say that since Alan took office, the salary of Branch 104 was definitely the highest, even higher than the headquarters, and the pension was even more outrageous, twice that of the headquarters.
The guns, sabers and warships used are of the highest quality.
When he has nothing to do, he always fights with the soldiers.
Therefore, the soldiers in the 104th branch were extremely obedient to Alan's orders.
Alan simply held West with one hand and whispered in his ear.
"Tonight...I'll take you to the Pleasure District?"
West was a little excited at first, then he seemed to remember something and immediately became weak.
"No... I can't. My family's been very strict lately... If I smell something or come home late, it'll be exposed immediately."
Alan patted his chest and gave him a look.
"Today, Lieutenant West needs to work with me to investigate the whereabouts of a group of pirates!"
West reacted immediately and gave him a grateful look.
"I obey your command!"
Seeing that the excuse had been found, West also began to complain.
I haven't tasted any meat since I got married.
That night,
The red-light district of Loguetown.
The colorful lights on the street form the three words "Pleasure District" on the sign.
Dim lights, women with good figures, and an ambiguous atmosphere permeate the entire street.
"It's been a while since I came to drink with the young lady." Alan felt the atmosphere of the red light district while walking.
"Didn't you come here just last week..."
West interrupted Alan's speech tactlessly.
Alan didn't care at all.
"I'm solving the work and employment problems of these young ladies."
West said that he came here to find a prostitute, so why was he talking to me about this?
but...
Why does it feel...
What he said is correct...?
I felt tall and majestic all of a sudden.
Alan patted West's shoulder.
"It's good to change your taste occasionally, so that both the elite and the masses can enjoy it."
Then he ignored West and walked into the building very skillfully.
