Hero of One Piece

About an hour ago.

A man entered Loguetown from the north entrance.

He has silver white hair, wears a tourist beach shirt, and wears sun glasses.

The most conspicuous thing is to count the cigars in every pocket on his body, and the number varies, totaling dozens of cigars.

And in the man's mouth, there are still two cigars that have just been lit.

As a Moku Moku no Mi Ability User, Smoker has a huge addiction to cigarettes, but today is the first time he wants to smoke so urgently.

The reason is probably that man--

Lynn Barek.

Smoker feels upset when he thinks of that name.

"It is clearly Marine's duty to save people in Pirate's hands. Why should he be a wanted man to intervene!"

Smoker has a cigar in his mouth and browses tightly knit.

All around are familiar sights——

Loguetown.

Back here again, Smoker couldn't help but think of the past.

Many years ago, he was in Loguetown and witnessed the execution of that man and the prelude to the era opened by that man himself.

When the carnival of that era started, Smoker felt a deep fear in his heart when he looked at the people who were completely in the frenzy.

After that, in order to fight that fear, he joined Marine.

Perhaps because of what happened back then, or perhaps because of the duties of Marine.

In any case, he is upset with the man named Lynn Barek!

This kind of discomfort is definitely not hostility or hatred, but a sense of disagreement with Lynn's behavior and personality.

Although some Marine colleagues commented that Smoker is really living too seriously, Smoker obviously has no plans to change, because he is a person of that character.

Because of this, Smoker from the very beginning did not point to Lynn and himself cooperating with each other. He had already prepared a man to rescue the hostages of Footha Village!

As a Logia Devil Fruit Ability User, Smoker has this confidence.

"Can't let him underestimate Marine!"

Smoker took a cigar and looked at the prosperous streets of Loguetown.

It is Marine's responsibility to protect the tranquility above this sea. He will never allow the beautiful scene in front of him to be easily trampled by the Pirates!

"First of all, we must find the Pirates' hiding place."

Smoker spit out a puff of smoke and began to search the street in secret by himself.

The group of Pirates did not agree on a meeting place with Lynn, so they must have arranged surveillance personnel throughout Loguetown to prepare for Lynn's arrival.

The first thing Smoker needs to do is to find them, and then ask Pirates where their base camp is.

However, dozens of minutes passed and Smoker found nothing.

Just when he was about to change another street to continue searching, a sudden shout attracted his attention.

"hey hey hey, there seems to be a fireworks display in the west port!"

"Go and see it, you can't see it when you are late!"

Under the guidance of those shouts, the flow of people began to move towards the west port.

"en?"

Smoker noticed the strangeness. He carefully observed those shouting. They were mysterious people who were wearing civilian clothes but wearing hats and cloaks to hide their identities. person.

After yelling, those people quickly hid into the crowd, and in the blink of an eye they completely concealed their sense of existence.

Pirate?

Smoker thought for a while, and felt something was wrong.

Only by guiding the flow of people, he can see that those mysterious persons are fairly well-trained, and their cooperation is comparable to that of Marine in the same army.

"Hey, it seems that someone in trouble is coming to Loguetown."

Smoker looked at the mysterious persons who secretly led the flow of people, thinking about one thing continuously in his mind-- Why are they doing this?

Suddenly, Smoker noticed that several people were running against the flow of people and moved towards the east of Loguetown.

Looking at their appearance, they are somewhat vicious, and they didn't deliberately hide their sense of existence. Obviously, they were not in the group with those mysterious persons.

Who are they?

Smoker's gaze shifted slightly, and he quickly made a decision. He wanted to follow him to see.

Because Lynn landed on Loguetown in the west port, he was delayed a lot of time because of changing clothes and secretly patrolling.

According to Lynn’s normal speed of action, he shouldn’t be staying in the west port now, and the crowds flocking to the port did not exclaim or scream, so the port is It should be calm.

Smoker pulled a passerby and asked: "Where does Loguetown lead to the east?"

Passerby replied: "It's a backstreet, but you don’t go over there for guests. It's very messy, where many gangsters live."

It's there!

Smoker expression congeals, he doesn't know exactly what Pirate named Kuro is doing, but everything along the way shows one thing--

Something must happen to the east!

"According to Lynn's personality, maybe he let those mysterious persons guide people to go west to avoid getting involved in the battle." Smoker thought, "But who are those people?"

Although his heart was full of doubts, Smoker was still an actionist. He didn't have too much entanglement, and he started running all the way towards the backstreet east of Loguetown.

Along the way, Smoker also encountered several commotions. It is said that someone was fighting, and the person who was beaten is still lying on the ground. It is not clear whether it is alive or dead.

The direction is right!

Smoker was overjoyed. In order to speed up, he simply found a place to jump on the roof, and then used his Devil Fruit ability to turn into smoke and move on the roof, moving straight toward the backstreet.

Not far from the backstreet, Smoker's ears already heard those noisy noises, roars of people, and the sound of things being smashed.

Has it been handed over?

Smoker brows slightly wrinkle, I could not help but speed up a bit.

But at this moment, a black shadow on the roof suddenly attracted Smoker's attention.

Smoker looked intently and found that there was just a pile of debris, but after a closer look, he found that there was a person hidden among those debris!

At this time, it was night and the vision was not good.

Smoker approached quietly and finally saw more clearly.

I saw a man with purple hair wearing black heavy armor hiding in the debris. He also held a long sniper rifle in his hand, pointing it in the direction of the back street.

Who is he? Friend or foe?

Smoker used his abilities to move closer, finally saw the full face of the man, and immediately recognized him.

Bounty Pirate of 17 million Bailey, [Admiral] Krieg!

Smoker has seen Krieg's arrest warrant when collating information.

In East Blue, this man’s name is notorious.

Although Smoker is often upset with Lynn, at the same time Smoker also believes that Lynn will not be with such a notorious Pirate.

In this case, it is the enemy.

Is hiding here with a sniper rifle to ambush Lynn?

Smoker slowly bends over, looking for a chance to shoot.

As soon as Krieg adjusted his posture and was ready to continue aiming, Smoker's right arm turned into smoke, his five fingers clenched his fist, and he shot it decisively!

White boxing!

I don’t know how many times I have practiced this heavy punch of elemental transformation. Even the wild beast on the uninhabited island can hardly bear it. The pursuit is to quickly defeat the enemy with one blow.

However, the moment Smoker's fist hit Krieg's armor, a sense of powerlessness suddenly passed.

"Hmm!"

Smoker stared wide-eyed, and instantly judged the material used to make the armor——

Kairoseki!
