Chapter 252 Do you have a cigar?
At the Tuwan Quarry, prisoners in shackles were working furiously, swinging their pickaxes non-stop.
Two of them were the most special. One was a burly man with a round beard, hairy arms and big hands.
The other was a kind-looking man with a short buzz cut, a faint smile on his face, and a branch in his mouth.
They are Vice Admiral Tucha and Vice Admiral Huoshaoshan.
The two men were fully focused on the mining business, with sparks frequently flying from the pickaxes in their hands. They did not have the slightest air of a prisoner's lethargy, but were full of energy instead.
Just as the prisoners were working hard, a dozen soldiers came in pushing carts of food.
As the white cloth covering the food was lifted, the aroma of steamed buns began to waft out, soon spreading throughout the entire quarry.
"Lunch time is here, hurry up and line up to get your meal tickets!"
The people who were working stopped what they were doing and lined up consciously, waiting for their meal tickets.
Most people get tickets with the number 1 written on them, and only some tall prisoners can get tickets with the number 2 written on them.
Tucha and Huoshaoshan are exceptions. The ticket Tucha received had 10 written on it, while the ticket Huoshaoshan received had 8 written on it.
"Haha, Fire Mountain, you can't do it, how come there are only 8 steamed buns."
Seeing that his number was bigger than Huoshaoshan’s, Tucha laughed and joked.
"It can't be helped. Anyway, I don't eat as much as a big guy like you."
Huoshaoshan has a good temper and knows that Tucha has no ill intentions and is just joking between friends.
"Then give me another piece of angry bun."
"roll!"
Huoshaoshan twitched the corner of his mouth, cursed with a smile, and went to line up aside.
"Haha."
Tu Cha smiled and followed the pace of Huoshaoshan. After working for a whole morning, he was a little hungry.
Of course, the main reason is that the angry buns are so delicious.
The Angry Bun is certainly not the bun in the Pokémon world that can restore all physical strength. It is just a bun made from wheat fermented by Mahua Dog. It does not have any strange functions, but it smells very good.
After receiving the steamed buns, the prisoners went to find a place to enjoy a short lunch break. Huoshaoshan and Tucha were no exception.
He bit off half of the steamed bun in one bite, and the vague sound of Tucha was heard.
"Fire Mountain, how long have we been here?"
Huoshaoshan chewed the steamed bun and thought for a while before answering.
"About a year, right?"
Tucha couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies!"
Huoshaoshan nodded, looked at the earthen tea he was devouring, and couldn't help but ask, "By the way, have you gained weight?"
Tucha paused, looked at his body which had become stronger, nodded, raised his hands, and the shackles tied on his hands made a metallic clash sound.
"Not only have I gained weight, I also feel that my strength has increased. The material of these shackles is special and can suppress Armament Haki. They are a good training tool."
Huoshaoshan also looked at the shackles on his wrists, frowned, and the armed color domineering covered the back of his hands, and then receded like a tide.
"Seastone can restrict people with special abilities, but we're not people with special abilities. What kind of material is it made of?"
Time passed as the two chatted. After the last steamed bun was eaten, Tu Cha set his eyes on the two remaining angry steamed buns in front of Huoshaoshan, and approached them with his big hands pretending to be indifferent.
Huoshaoshan looked at the big hairy hand speechlessly, but did not expose it.
His physique was similar to that of an average person, and he was full after eating six steamed buns. However, Tucha was particularly big and strong, and he ate much more than him.
Just when Tucha was about to succeed, the sound of a radio broadcast rang out throughout the quarry.
"Tucha, Huoshaoshan, Kainuo, Mande... Those whose names were read above, gather at the quarry gate!"
"I repeat, earthen tea, burning mountain..."
The broadcast was repeated twice, and Tucha and Huoshao looked at each other.
"Are all the people called on the radio the navy?"
"Ok!"
"Let's go and see what they're going to do."
Huoshaoshan stood up, picked up the branches thrown aside, and walked towards the gate.
Tucha stuffed two steamed buns into his mouth and followed Huoshaoshan with a bulging mouth.
In the staff lounge of the quarry, the six-meter-tall A Tai stared straight ahead at He and his group of more than a dozen people. His terrifying aura made the female sailors feel uncomfortable.
Hassan followed Om to escort Tucha and others, leaving the taciturn Atai to entertain He and others.
"Atai, right? Are you from Wano Country?"
He spoke up, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
"no!"
A muffled voice sounded, and after saying two words, Artest was silent again.
He looked kindly at the tall boy in front of him who had a childish face.
"Where are you from then? You're so powerful at such a young age. I've never heard of a young and powerful person like you."
"Sabaody Archipelago, Master Zell saved me."
Artest's expression didn't change, but he talked a lot more.
He was also a smart person and immediately changed the subject.
“The pastries here are delicious. They are the best cakes I have ever had.”
Hassan really treated Crane as a guest, and provided all the necessary things, including, of course, various desserts and drinks that are specialties of Wano Country.
But they didn't drink alcohol while on a mission, so He just ate some snacks.
He originally wanted to ask more questions, but Atai was like a piece of wood, and his answers were basically two words, so the information he could get was limited.
About ten minutes later, there was a sound of the door opening, and Hassan came in and walked out with He and others.
"Lieutenant General Crane!"
On the way here, Huoshaoshan and the others knew they were about to leave, and they couldn't help but feel excited.
After all, it has been a year, and they actually feel that the Navy has abandoned them.
"Huoshaoshan, long time no see, Zefa must have missed you very much."
He's smile was kind. She actually liked Huoshaoshan, the gentle new generation lieutenant general, very much.
"Huoshaoshan, your cats are all taken care of by Mr. Zefa." Gion added from the side.
"Zeffa-sensei? I miss you so much."
Huoshaoshan touched his short hair, and a look of reminiscence appeared on his face.
"Gion, can I trouble you for something?"
The look of reminiscence faded, and Huoshaoshan said embarrassedly.
"Any cigars?"
He hadn't smoked for a year, and if he hadn't fallen asleep immediately from exhaustion, he would have been tortured to death.
…………
Just as Crane and Hassan were taking over, the Moonlight Pirates, after going through untold hardships, successfully landed on the waters of Wano Country.
"Boss, there's a ship ahead!"
Scott held the telescope in his hand and spoke excitedly to Moria next to him.
Thinking of the difficulties along the way, Moriah felt it necessary to boost the morale of the pirate group. He waved his hand and was about to give an order.
"Guys, catch up with the ship ahead and tell the people of Wano Country that we, the Moonlight Pirates, are here!"
