Chapter 15 :East Blue

For two months Alexander and Kane sail with their brand new ex-marine ship,that they stole from Niara's base .With more than 700 zerglings and 150 infested marines in Alexander's arsenal,the duo didn't faced any obstacle along their journey.

Well,some pirates weren't that fortunately as they decided to attack Alexander's ship and as a consequence all of the pirates were fed to the zerglings.

Along the way ,Alexander gained more strength from his battles ,while Kane managed to unlock his

armament haki.

After two months of sailing they finally arrived at their destination :East Blue.

As they used the Reverse Mountain to come to East Blue,the first town they would stop once they arrive was Loguetown.

Loguetown is a city on the Polestar Islands in East Blue, covering nearly the entire island it is on, save for a few steep hills. The town is also known as "The town of the beginning and the end", because the former Pirate King Gol D. Roger was born and executed here.

When the duo docked their ship ,tens of marines surrounded the docks.As the marines come to the docks,A muscular, light blue-green haired man, with a distinct trait of always being seen smoking two cigars at once walked towards the warship. He wears a large thick white and blue specialist marine jacket which he keeps open, with greenish fur lining the neck, wrists, and hem. The jacket bears the kanji for "justice" written on the back of it. He carries a Seastone-tipped jitte as his weapon. He also wears brown leather gloves, blue jeans with a brown belt, and large military-issue brown leather boots.

Seeing the light blue-green haired man walking towards them,Alexander's lips rose in a smile.

Meanwhile,Kane was confused as why Alexander would smile at the man,but he decided to wait and see what would happen while he remembered all of the times when he and Alexander fought together ,Alexander would only smile towards his friends AKA Kane,so seeing his friend smiling towards the marine,Kane found a possible explication.

Before the marine could speak,Alexander jumped down and land right in front of that man.

Both of them looked in each other eye and one minute later the marine punched Alexander in the face.

It's true that Alexander could evade the punch,but he decided to take it head on as the person how punched him was none other that his first friend Smoker.

After he receive the punch,Alexander touched his chin and laughed loudly.

Alexander:Smoker,you are one hell of a man.After you dumped me on West Blue ,you have the guts to punch me.Ofof my friend,you need a girl in your life seriously.

Smoker:As much as I like to beat you half dead for becoming a pirate,I can't,but that doesn't mater as you are a bastard.How could you become a pirate after all that happened to you.

Alexander:Smoky,you know me better than anyone in this world,alive at least .

Smoker:I know,but that doesn't change the fact that you are a pirate while I'm a marine.

Alexander:So what?Do you want to fight and pretend we aren't friends?

Smoker:If that's what it takes for you to stop being a pirate then yes.

Alexander:I don't want to harm you or your soldiers .Just pretend I didn't come here and leave please.

Looking at Alexander pleading face ,Smoker swore in his mind that one day he will beat hell out of his friend.With one last look at Alexander ,Smoker spoke:Men,get back to you patrol.Nothing happened here today.

Along the way a girl that was following Smoker approach him.That girl has dark brown eyes and wears her black hair between chin- and shoulder-length.That girl was Tashigi,Smoker's protege.

Tashigi:Sir who was that man?

Smoker:My friend and a pirate that goes by the name of Red Mountain.

Hearing Smoker words,Tashigi was shocked,because the name Red Mountain was know by all of the marine as the Mountain of corpses ,especially marines corpses.

Tashigi:But he's a murderer .He killed all of our brothers on that island were that piece of shit Niara was staying .

Smoker:But did you put this question?Why would he destroy a marine base ?

Tashigi:Of course,he did it for pleasure.He's a scum after all.

Smoker:This is were you are wrong .You don't know him as I do and I can swear that he wouldn't do it without a good reason as he was an orphan that lost his parents by the hands of a criminal .

Back to Alexander,he and Kane were docking their ship.

After the stunt,Kane realized what his friend was trying to hide with his smile.Family.
