Chapter 382

Smoker was stunned for a moment, a smile appearing on his face.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, these people came really fast!"

"Sir, I will immediately take people..."

Smoker waved his hand: "No need to be so troublesome. Just keep an eye on them, because I want to meet them personally."

"Yes! Sir."

Smoker stood up and pushed open the window, looking at the port not far away, his smile gradually disappearing.

"Although you are Vice Admiral Garp's grandson, I cannot show you any mercy, Straw Hat Luffy."

"Today is the day your pirate career ends."

It was just that Smoker didn't know that two other pirate crews had also come today...

The scene today, perhaps years later, Smoker could take it out to brag to his son.

Back in the day, he was also a man who chased two Emperors of the Sea by himself!

Back to Drum Island.

After an hour of trekking, the two finally arrived at the bottom of Drum Peak.

In Ain's words, this was a winter outing, going out to tread on snow.

"It's actually so high when you look at it up close. Should we just go take the cable car?"

Karl gasped, making the already low temperature drop a few more degrees.

"Don't! I don't want to walk in the wind and snow for half a day anymore. Going up isn't simple. Raven, Moon Walk, both work. It just takes a bit of effort."

Ain's willow brows stood up: "Oh, so you just don't want to walk with me, right?"

"Ahem, of course not. If you want to walk, I can walk with you for a lifetime. I was just afraid you would freeze."

"Hmph, not a word of truth in your mouth."

"Then... should I carry you up?"

Only then did Ain reveal a smile: "Alright, that's more like it."

"Here we go!"

Karl grabbed Ain, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and the snow beneath his feet instantly exploded, revealing black mud. Karl and Ain also disappeared along with it.

Drum Peak.

*Sniff, sniff~*

"Hmm, it seems someone has come. It's a scent I haven't smelled before." The blue-nosed reindeer with a hat on his head and shorts on his lower body revealed a look of human-like astonishment, hurriedly putting down the pill in his hand.

"Dr. Kureha! It's not good! Someone has come!!! Dr. Kureha! It's not..."

*Swish~* *Clang. *

A sharp axe flew past Chopper's ear, embedding itself firmly into the wall. Chopper immediately broke into a cold sweat.

"You're noisy, Chopper! Isn't it just that someone came? What's so strange about that?"

Chopper said aggrievedly: "But, they are strangers... I'm afraid..."

"Pfft, what strangers could there be? That guy Wapol ran away long ago. Could it be that someone is driving us away?"

*Creak, creak, creak~*

Chopper suddenly looked outside. That was the sound of the castle gate being pushed open.

"Aaaaaah, they're here!"

Ain keenly heard Chopper's scream and asked with a strange expression: "How come there is still the sound of screaming in this place? Could it be that someone is still living here?"

"I heard it too. It seems someone is indeed living here. It's just right to find them and ask."

"Hey! Fellow villagers! Open the door, we are the Navy!"

Kureha, who was putting on clothes to come out, was stunned: "Navy? How could the Navy come here? That's really strange. Hey Chopper, you heard it, they aren't bad people, you coward."

Chopper, hiding behind the wall with most of his butt exposed, poked his head out slightly. Okay, his whole deer body was out.

"Navy? Is it the Navy that catches pirates?"

"Eh, it should be. I'm going to go out and take a look. Do you want to come together?"

Chopper shook his head hurriedly: "No, I don't want to go out."

*Creak... *

The door was pushed open, revealing Karl's smiling handsome face: "Sorry for the disturbance."

"Aaaaaah!" Chopper hurriedly hid his "whole body" behind the wall, "stealthily" observing Karl.

Karl patted the snow off his body, looked at the spirited Kureha, and smiled: "Hello, I am Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral Karl. I came here to investigate the Blackbeard Pirates' attack on the Drum Kingdom. I heard this is the castle of the King of the Drum Kingdom, right?"

"Right, this is Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral Ain. She is with me."

Ain revealed a formulaic smile, her eyes looking curiously to the other side. That seemed to be a horned raccoon dog, furry, and quite cute.

Looking at Karl's face, a glint flashed in Kureha's eyes. Isn't this the Navy Hero Karl who has been in the limelight recently? Right, this guy was also in the newspaper yesterday, saying he defeated a little guy named Mihawk in the East Blue, and today he came to the Grand Line. This speed, tsk, tsk, tsk.

"Do you also want to know the secret to my eternal youth?"

"Pfft~"

Hearing this, Ain suddenly laughed out loud. Karl looked at Ain strangely, and Ain waved her hand apologetically.

"Ahem, eternal youth? That's not necessary. I just wanted to ask if you have any impression of the Blackbeard crew that attacked the Drum Kingdom?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a pity, what a handsome face..."

Karl shook his head helplessly: "May I ask who you are..."

"Dr. Kureha, a doctor." ===== CHAPTER 384 =====
