"You're directly under Vice Admiral Garp, right? This pink-haired kid used to be a pirate? That's strange," Sentomaru said.

"No, I was just coerced. I originally wanted to join the Navy, but I was captured by pirates and had to stay on the pirate ship for now."

Coby adjusted his glasses on his forehead, somewhat embarrassed. "I survived because I know how to navigate. Later... thanks to a benefactor, I joined the Marines. I'll be forever grateful to him! I believe he'll definitely become the Pirate King..."

“Hey, Koby!” Bellmare exclaimed urgently.

"Ah...there's nothing there!"

Koby realized he might have said something wrong and quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

Those present all hold higher positions than them.

Getting involved with pirates is a very serious matter.

Sure enough, the atmosphere fell silent as soon as he spoke.

"The Pirate King...?"

Kro adjusted his glasses, thinking of a rascal wearing a straw hat, "Straw Hat Boy..."

"Straw Hat Kid!" Zango said through gritted teeth.

Although all of this is in the past, it was Straw Hat Boy who ruined his plans back then.

Lida, who was munching on food, looked up and said, "That guy with the straw hat, I remember him. He was shouting in the square of Loguetown that he wanted to become the Pirate King. I think I also ran into him on Enies Lobby."

"Straw Hat Boy..."

Smoker was smoking a cigar, the smoke obscuring his face.

Tina then spoke up: "Oh? That Straw Hat Boy, I heard he caused a huge disturbance at Enies Lobby, and his bounty has already exceeded 300 million. He's an extremely wicked pirate."

Tina naturally recognized Luffy, and she glanced at Smoker as she said this.

"Speaking of which, you seem quite pleased that I didn't catch the Straw Hat in Alabasta, Smoker. Tina is quite surprised."

“Really? I don’t remember.” Smoker raised his glass and clinked it against Tina’s, saying:

"If you remember everything so clearly, you'll get old, Tina."

"Smoker, you bastard."

Tina touched hands with him and tilted her head back to drink it.

Bang!

Finbodi took a big gulp of his drink and slammed his fist on the table. "Straw Hat Boy! That's right, Straw Hat Boy! I must catch him! Although following Colonel Tina is great, I will never forgive Straw Hat Boy!"

“I completely understand you on this point.”

Kuro raised his glass to Finpodi, "It's especially unpleasant to have your wonderful life ruined. And you've run into a pirate, so you can rightfully kill him. If it were a fellow pirate, it wouldn't be so easy to do it."

After saying this, Kuro glared at Smoker.

The latter could only smile awkwardly.

Even when Kuro was relaxed, his face showed a clear hint of drunkenness when he drank.

Sentomaru asked curiously, "Do so many people know that straw hat kid?"

Sentomaru has only seen the bounty poster and has not yet seen Luffy's true form.

Kuro chuckled and said, "A remarkable person, after all, he's Garp's grandson, so it's not surprising that he'd do something."

"Huh? Is Straw Hat Boy Vice Admiral Garp's grandson?" Tashigi exclaimed in surprise.

Didn't Smoker tell you?

Kuro laughed and said, "We both have the surname Monkey and are both from the D clan, so naturally we're grandsons."

"Of course, we should talk less about this kind of thing."

Smoker curled his lip: "How can a naval hero have a grandson who is a pirate?"

"Hahaha, old man Garp won't care about such things. Let the world go its own way and just focus on doing our job as the Navy."

Kuro laughed heartily: "By the way, Tina, I heard that your famous technique is the 'Black Spear Formation.' You can create black spears, right?"

Tina nodded, not understanding.

As an ability user, her most outstanding qualities are not combat skills, but command and naval warfare.

By creating black iron spears, she can easily sink any ship.

“Look, I’ve become a major now, and I’ll soon be able to lead a fleet. But I’m rather weak. Apart from physical skills and a tiny bit of insignificant swordsmanship, I don’t have much to boast about. More extra means provide more protection, right? Could you make me some of your sniper rifles?”

“Sure, how many do you want?” Tina said.

"Of course, the more the better."

Kuro grinned, "I'll take as many as you have. Anyway, I'll be at headquarters for a while, so just create some for me when you're free."

Lida smirked and whispered, "You're trying to expand your [Heavenly Treasury] again."

"What?" Tina looked over.

Kuro tapped Lida on the head and laughed, "I have a collecting habit. I like small parts and if I see something I like, I'll put it in my storage room. It's nothing special."

"Tina understands. I'll make you some black guns tomorrow," Tina nodded.

"Haha, then I'll take your kindness. Come on, let's have a drink." Kuro raised his glass.

...

The meal lasted until late at night.

After a few rounds of drinks and several dishes, the person paying the bill will shed tears.

Smoker was prepared, while Sentomaru looked completely unconcerned.

"What?! Thirty million Berries?!"

Smoker, who was about to pay, was visibly stunned when he heard the bill.

The prices here don't look cheap, but to be able to spend 30 million on a single meal is something I've never seen before.

However, even excluding Lida, these people are still top-notch eaters.
