One Piece: I, a scum of the navy, became an admiral Chapter 185

Seas near Wano Country.

A battleship cut through the waves, stirring up layers of white foam.

The sea breeze whistled across the deck, the flag emblazoned with the Marine emblem flapped fiercely, and the mast soared into the clouds.

Just then.

Two figures landed steadily on the battleship’s deck.

“Who goes there?! How dare you trespass on a Marine battleship?!” A stern rebuke rang out.

Immediately, it drew the attention of all patrolling Marines, who aimed their dark muzzles at the two figures.

“It’s me!” A majestic voice echoed across the deck.

The Marine soldiers, recognizing the newcomer, quickly put away their firearms, their movements swift and uniform.

Their feet snapped together, making a crisp sound, their postures ramrod straight, their eyes filled with reverence and steadfastness.

“Greetings, Vice Admiral Allen!!”

They all respectfully saluted, shouting in unison.

A moment later.

A Marine Lieutenant Commander anxiously ran out from the ship’s cabin, greeting them respectfully.

“Vice Admiral Allen, it’s truly wonderful that you’re alright!!”

He let out a long sigh of relief after confirming Allen’s safety.

The pressure he had faced during Allen’s disappearance was unprecedented.

From above, he had to deal with constant pressure from Admiral Sengoku, otherwise he wouldn’t have been so eager to torture Queen.

From below, he also had to control the emotions of the soldiers on the battleship.

He had been so worried that he couldn’t sleep all night, and his face was topped with a pair of panda eyes.

Allen gently patted the Marine Lieutenant Commander’s shoulder, saying softly:

“You’ve worked hard these past few days…..”

Then, Allen tossed a “smooching” Den Den Mushi into his hand.

“It fell into the sea earlier, so the Den Den Mushi must have malfunctioned.”

Den Den Mushi are very afraid of salt, and of course, seawater is also afraid of seawater.

“No wonder, the Den Den Mushi also lost contact….”

As for the subsequent work, Allen didn’t need to say much; the Marine Lieutenant Commander knew how to handle it.

Then Allen looked at Toki behind him, smiling slightly:

“Toki, I’ll take you to your room to rest first.”

Toki nodded slightly, softly uttering a “hmm.”

She was about to walk towards Allen when a pang of pain shot through her, and she stumbled, almost falling.

Fortunately, Allen was quick, catching her in his arms: “Are you alright~”

Toki rolled her eyes at Allen, her gaze filled with a tiny bit of resentment.

Can’t you tell if I’m alright?!

It’s all because you were as wild as a beast last night!!

Seeing Toki’s expression, the Marine soldiers all covered their mouths, stifling laughter.

Even if they hadn’t eaten pork, hadn’t they seen pigs run?!

Such intimate actions between the two of them—anyone who said they didn’t have a “PY relationship” wouldn’t be believed by a ghost!

Toki also felt the strange gazes around her, and a blush quickly spread across her fair, pretty face.

She felt utterly shy, leaving her flustered and at a loss for what to do.

Looking at Toki, who was limping, Allen completely disregarded the surrounding gazes and scooped her up into his arms.

“Wait… what are you doing? So many people are watching!”

Seeing Toki’s embarrassment, Allen’s eyes sharpened. He slowly scanned the Marines present, and wherever his gaze fell, they lowered their heads.

“Don’t you all have anything to do? Do you want me to give you a good lesson?!” Allen sternly reprimanded.

Hearing Allen’s words, the Marines scattered, scrambling away.

Are you kidding me? Although the benefits and treatment on Allen’s battleship were top-notch, the training was equally brutal.

It was the kind where they’d train you to death if it didn’t kill you.

This was also why Allen’s Marines were comparable to the main force’s elites.

Then Allen looked down at Toki, his tone completely different, and said softly:

“Let’s go, I’ll take you back to your room…..”

Feeling the warmth and security emanating from Allen, Toki rested her head on Allen’s chest, softly humming like a mosquito.

Time passed by little by little.

The lights in the room were dim and soft, and a steady breathing sound could be heard.

Toki was curled up on the bed, her eyes showing exhaustion, and a faint, alluring blush on her cheeks.

Allen gazed deeply at the sleeping Toki, his eyes filled with tenderness.

“I really don’t know how she managed to endure last night.”

He tiptoed towards the door, until the moment he closed the door…

As soon as Allen stepped out, he saw Mihawk already sitting on a nearby sofa.

“In a good mood, aren’t we?!” Allen came before Mihawk.

Mihawk swirled the wine glass containing red wine, saying in a calm tone:

“I’m glad you’re alright.”

Allen poured himself a glass of red wine, looking at Mihawk with interest.

“I never thought the famous ‘Hawkeye’ Mihawk would be concerned about my safety?!”

Mihawk let out a soft snort, tilting his head up somewhat haughtily.

“It’s not about being concerned for your safety.”

“It’s just that you still owe me a duel. If something happened to you, I think I’d be very troubled.”

With that, Mihawk began to savor the fine wine in his glass.

Hearing Mihawk’s words, Allen wasn’t surprised. After all, for Mihawk, the “sword” was everything to him.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been alone for the next decade or so.

“Of course, once we return to Sabaody Archipelago, I will fulfill our agreement.” A smile hung on Allen’s lips.

“How exactly did you disappear?!” Mihawk finally couldn’t suppress the doubt in his heart.

Allen, seeing Mihawk in this state for the first time, couldn’t help but smile.

“What if I told you I went back to the past and brought back a wife? Would you believe me?!”

Do you want to hear what you’re saying?

Would any normal person believe that?

“No wonder, I was wondering why my Observation Haki couldn’t sense your presence.” Mihawk stroked his chin, pondering seriously.

Seeing Mihawk’s complete lack of suspicion, it was Allen’s turn to be stunned.

“No, you don’t suspect I’m lying to you, do you?!”

Mihawk’s sharp, hawk-like eyes looked at Allen.

“Then did you lie to me?”

“No, but…” Allen wanted to say more, but was immediately interrupted.

“Then that’s that.”

No, brother, you believe everything I say, are you a simp?!

Your inexplicable trust makes me a little embarrassed to take advantage of you.

Just then.

The Marine Lieutenant Commander jogged to Allen’s side, respectfully saluting.

“Vice Admiral Allen, your situation has been reported to Admiral Sengoku.”

“Also, the brother who was undercover in the Beast Pirates boarded the ship not long ago. Admiral Sengoku’s intention is for us to take him back to Marineford.”

Allen slowly closed his eyes, crossed his legs, and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the sofa.

“No problem, do as Admiral Sengoku requests…..”

Seeing that the Marine Lieutenant Commander hadn’t left yet, Allen asked in confusion:

“What’s wrong? Is there anything else?!”

The Marine Lieutenant Commander slowly spoke.

“Also, what should we do with ‘Plague’ Queen of the Beast Pirates?!”

Allen’s mind immediately conjured up that mesmerizing dance and music.

“The one in the overalls?!”
