One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 23 The Gears of Fate

Going Merry!

Aini never imagined that one day this ship would belong to him.

An hour had passed, and he had already had Daniel move 60% of the valuables they had seized from the pirates.

This served as Meryl's seed money.

At the same time, he also sent Johnson over... His role was to tell others that behind Mary stood Aini.

Disrespecting Meryl is disrespecting Aini.

All the pirate ships were left behind, to be used by Merry to build her fleet.

Meanwhile, Kaya stood beside Aini, her face filled with curiosity. This was her first time at sea!

Seeing this, Aini chuckled softly, "You really want to come with us? You can choose to have Melly send someone to take you there. After all, I have other things to do along the way."

Kaya nodded: "I can't wait, and I feel more complete with you guys."

That's true.

On his ship, no one in the entire East China Sea could touch her.

Just then, Daniel walked over: "Major, this ship...."

With Enni, Rena, Zoro, Arkin, and him along with fifty marines, it would probably be very crowded, after all, it's just a small ship.

Annie turned to Daniel and said, "Take the rest of your belongings downstairs!"

"what?"

Daniel looked utterly bewildered and filled with confusion: "Major, what's going on???"

Aini: "I want you to establish an inspection base here. Once it's built, you'll be the base manager. And I'll find a way to make you an inspector, so you can officially become one."

Upon hearing this, Daniel was overjoyed: "Thank you, Major!"

Eni added, "As for the soldiers, keep five of the more clever ones for me, and the rest are yours. Consider them the core of your base... and you'd better train them well. They're my trusted men, and I'll arrange for them to work elsewhere in the future if the opportunity arises."

Daniel: "Yes..."

.......

Aini, Lina, Zoro, Akin, Kaya, and five soldiers. Instantly, the ship became much more spacious.

Of course, there was also a Kro who was tied up to one side and couldn't move.

Aini waved his hand: "Let's go, target: Shells Town, where Branch 153 is located!"

Five naval soldiers immediately took up their gear and steered the Merry toward Shells Town.

With Locke in hand, Shells Town is practically in our grasp.

......

"shave..."

"boom..."

Ah Jin lost his balance and crashed into the railing on the side of the boat.

It hurt so much that he grimaced in pain.

That's right, Enni was teaching him the Six Powers of the Navy. And Shave is the easiest of the Six Powers to master.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. In this half month, Ah Jin has been able to use the shave technique... but he hasn't mastered it yet.

Every time I use it, I can't control my body shape and direction, and I can't stop.

However, Akin is very resilient.

Even though he had already injured himself all over from learning to shave, he still persisted.

Aini nodded in satisfaction. At this rate, he should be able to truly master shaving in another month or so.

Moreover, mastering the six techniques within one or two years should not be a problem.

At that time, his combat power will increase significantly.

If you were to give him a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, he would easily reach the level of a Vice Admiral.

Aini was very satisfied with this.

As for Rena and Zoro, they weren't forced to learn the Six Powers of the Navy. After all, both of them were fully focused on swordsmanship.

Moreover, Zoro is incredibly disciplined.

Whenever I have time, I train my physique. At the same time, I constantly explore the art of swordsmanship.

He's there.

Lina simply followed suit; she had only recently consumed the Zoan-type White Tiger Fruit and was currently in the prime period for rapid improvement.

In the time it took to go back and forth, her strength increased exponentially. She was almost catching up with Zoro... plus her own swordsmanship.

Her strength is among the best in the entire East China Sea.

She is now stronger than A-Jin. This puts pressure on A-Jin, as he has become the weakest. This is another reason why he is desperately practicing the Six Forms... Sometimes, pressure is motivation.

However, it must be said that Devil Fruits are the best shortcut to increasing strength.

Lina has confirmed this.

If it weren't for the system he had, he would have wanted to get a Devil Fruit.

.....

In the town of Shells, a boy wearing a straw hat was accompanied by a short, chubby fellow.

We rowed a small boat and landed on the island.

Not long after, Aini arrived at the port of Shells Town aboard the Merry.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Aini looked at the two figures in the distance and felt a sense of familiarity.

However, Aini didn't dwell on it too much.

Because he has important things to do!

Aini: "Lina, protect Kaya on the ship!"

Lina: "It's Major Aini!"

Aini: "Akin, take Crowe with you and come meet Colonel Monka."

After speaking, he glanced at Zoro, who immediately understood. Zoro, who was sitting, stood up and tucked the three swords that were on the table into his waistband.

And so, this strange group of four set foot in the town of Shells.

"navy?"

The townspeople were horrified the moment they saw the four of them, their eyes filled with disgust.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's up with these guys here?"

Zoro felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at.

Akin frowned involuntarily. For a moment, he even had the illusion that he was still a pirate and not wearing a navy uniform.

He muttered to himself, "What on earth did Morgan do? Why does it feel like the Marines are even more detestable than the pirates here?"

Aini, however, was looking around at the town of Shells.

At this moment, Aini felt that her decision couldn't have been more correct.

Because the entire street of Shells is lined with small buildings on both sides, with all kinds of shops displaying all kinds of goods.

For a small town to reach this level.

Calling it prosperous wouldn't be an exaggeration.

However, amidst the comings and goings of people, he noticed that there were very few smiles on the faces of the people, as if they were carrying something on their minds!

Clearly, things weren't going very well.

"Get out of here, get out of here... All of you, get out of my way!"

Just then, an extremely arrogant fellow, leading two vicious dogs and accompanied by several naval soldiers, swaggered through the city... Wherever he went, everyone panicked and let go.

"Good heavens..."

Now Akin finally understands why this money looks so arrogant—far more so than when he was a pirate.

Zoro's face twitched as well.

There was no way around it; this guy was just too annoying. He even had the urge to chop him into a human stick.
