One Piece: I, a scum of the navy, became an admiral Chapter 266

“Since you’ve conceded, let’s leave it at that for today…”

Allen said casually, not making things too difficult for Shanks.

This time, Allen had only returned for a vacation. If he were to truly clash with “Red-Haired” Shanks, Shanks’s identity alone would make things very troublesome and expose Windmill Village to the World Government’s scrutiny.

This was not what Allen wanted to see, so Allen decided to just collect the rewards.

Allen naturally pocketed the rewards.

Familiar words flashed across Allen’s vision:

“Reward obtained: Conqueror’s Haki Fragment X 6 (from the Pirate World)”

“Current (Conqueror’s Haki Top Tier) has Conqueror’s Haki Fragments X 32, 32/99 until next upgrade.”

“Reward obtained: Armament Haki Fragment X 3 (from the Pirate World)”

“Current (Armament Haki Top Tier) has Armament Haki Fragments X 70, 70/99 until next upgrade.”

“Reward obtained: Observation Haki Fragment X 3 (from the Pirate World)”

“Current (Observation Haki Top Tier) has Observation Haki Fragments X 56, 56/99 until next upgrade.”

As expected of Shanks!

Defeating him for the first time yielded a whopping 6 Conqueror’s Haki fragments.

Allen was quite satisfied with this reward.

Meanwhile, on the warship at Windmill Village’s harbor.

“Sister Tina, why won’t Mr. Allen let us get off the ship?”

Conis, with her small wings, asked with a puzzled expression.

Having descended from Skypiea, Conis was very curious about the buildings in the village, especially the giant windmill.

However, when Allen disembarked earlier, he issued a military order that they were not allowed to leave the warship without orders, and he specifically told Tina to keep an eye on Conis.

Although Tina didn’t know the exact situation, seeing the “Red-Haired” Pirate Crew’s ship docked in the harbor, she roughly understood.

After all, the “Red-Haired” Pirate Crew was active in the New World, and as Allen’s personal secretary, she naturally needed to know about these powerful pirate crews and their specific bounties.

Tina gently patted Conis’s shoulder, her gaze fixed on the Red Force, Shanks’s pirate ship.

“The sea is very dangerous. If you see a skull flag like that, remember to stay away!”

“They love to kidnap pretty little girls like you to sell!” Tina joked with Conis.

Hearing Tina’s words, Conis couldn’t help but shrink behind Tina, saying somewhat fearfully:

“Then what do we do now?!”

“Haha, it’s fine, isn’t Admiral Allen already down there?” Tina couldn’t help but laugh.

“With him, nothing will happen…”

After a long while, Conis still couldn’t resist the curiosity in her heart and asked:

“Sister Tina… why does Mr. Allen always hit you?”

These past few days on the ship, she kept seeing Allen take Tina into his room and give her a good beating, and the strange thing was that Tina seemed quite happy about it.

This made Conis unable to contain her curiosity any longer.

Hearing Conis’s words, Tina was first puzzled, then her fair, delicate face flushed “whoosh” with a blush.

“Conis, you… you heard all that?!” Tina asked tentatively.

“Yes! Mr. Allen is clearly a gentle person, so why does he hit Sister Tina?”

Conis blinked her watery eyes, staring at Tina with a curious expression.

“Haha… maybe… Tina made a mistake or something…” Tina said somewhat awkwardly.

Tina looked at Conis with a guilty conscience.

This little girl really doesn’t understand anything…

At this moment, Allen’s figure had already landed steadily on the deck.

Then Allen gave orders to the Marines on the warship.

He told them they could disembark but not to clash with the “Red-Haired” crew.

After asking Luffy if he wanted to go back and being refused, Allen took Tina and Conis towards Mount Colubo…

Not long after.

In a wooden house in the forest.

A gentle and elegant young woman was busy in the kitchen.

She had long pink hair, and freckles on her fair, delicate face did not diminish her beauty in the slightest.

A white dress clung to her graceful figure, accentuating her shapely curves.

“Creak!”

The wooden door opened.

Hearing the sound, the woman didn’t turn her head, her voice soft with a hint of annoyance.

“Ace, where did you go to cause trouble again today?”

This woman was Rouge, Ace’s mother.

At this moment, a pair of large hands tightly embraced her slender waist.

Feeling the familiar aura, Rouge’s chopping motion froze, and she said coquettishly.

“You scoundrel, why didn’t you say you were coming back?”

Allen leaned close to Rouge’s ear and whispered, “If I didn’t say anything, I couldn’t come back?”

At this point, Rouge also noticed Tina and Conis standing nearby.

She naturally knew Tina, as Allen always gave her special attention whenever he came, making her have to ask Tina for help several times.

After going through thick and thin together, their relationship was quite good.

As for the other beautiful girl with small wings, Rouge said it was her first time seeing her.

This scoundrel Allen, his taste was truly sharp?!

Every young girl’s appearance and figure were top-notch…

“Sister Rouge, Tina came to see you~” Tina also smiled slightly at Rouge.

Conis, seeing this, also bowed slightly and quickly said:

“Hello, Sister Rouge, I’m Conis, currently traveling with Mr. Allen…”

Hearing Conis’s words, Rouge couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Allen, and whispered in Allen’s ear:

“He’s such a big bad guy, using such methods to trick such a cute little girl…”

Allen: I’m not that kind of person, she really came willingly…

Rouge gently patted Allen’s large hand, motioning for him to let go.

Then she walked over to Tina and Conis, gently took their hands, and said softly:

“Since you’re here, make yourselves at home, don’t be shy~”

“Thank you, Sister Rouge~” Tina and Conis smiled slightly.

At this moment, Allen also noticed that only Rouge was home, and Ace was nowhere to be seen, so he asked:

“Why don’t I see that kid Ace?!”

Rouge immediately got angry, walked two steps in front of Allen.

She leaned forward, hands on her hips, and said indignantly: “It’s all your fault! Why did you teach him how to cultivate for no reason!”

Allen raised his hands, leaned back, and said innocently:

“This… Ace has reached the age to cultivate, you know…”

It turned out that some time ago, Ace had pestered Allen to teach him “Flame Breathing.”

Of course, what he taught wasn’t swordsmanship, but the ability to control flames.

Since then, Ace would run out to cultivate every day, leaving in the morning and only returning at sunset.

Meanwhile, in Windmill Village, at the tavern.

“Luffy?!”

“Spit it out quickly! If you eat that, you’ll never be able to swim again!!”
