OPJ Chapter 12: Tashigi

After Saitama's addition, the next marine's policy began to change gradually.

The new world was controlled by the four emperors. The marine wasn’t strong enough to defeat them, so they preferred to ignore them, but this weakness gradually decreased and began to move and take action.



The pirates are like usual, drunk, burning, and looting every day.

And the more they exist, the more people stand and fight against this sinister world!

Gradually, a lot of people joined the marines, which was why many elites were born. They were directly transferred to their headquarters to fight crimes.

Day by day, the marines fought these pirates, to keep order and safety for innocent.

(Decade)

A full ten years of planning.

The marines were finally ready, and has begun to carry out the ten-year plan.

Based on the operational strategy put forward by the Marineford at the recent high-level meeting, their current power was unprecedentedly strong in the sea.

Not only the top three Admirals, but also several powerful candidates can replace them at any time.

The fortresses of justice are all over the world, related by an endless stream.

But with the army’s expansion, a lot of problems come out... but the most dangerous was the spies, traitors, and the scoundrels.

That’s must maintain stability and get rid of these scum before the real war with the emperors begins. They need to avoid the risk of being an obstacle for them in the battle.

That's it. Step one Clean-up activities...  started!

………………………………………………………………………………………

A day after the marine meeting.

Just after walking back to the marine branch, Saitama was stopped by a beautiful girl with dark brown eyes, and her black hair laid between her chin and shoulder, wearing short-sleeved shirts covered them with her white-trimmed, waist-length blue leather coat and blue jeans with black shoes. She carried a sword in her hand.

“Saitama-san”

This girl held a letter in her hand and waved it toward Saitama: “Great news, sir! There's a commission from the headquarters!”

“Cool! And what’s this Tashigi”

“It’s a letter for you, Saitama-san.”

Ten years did not leave any trace on Saitama's face, On the contrary, he became stranger.

During this decade, Saitama's reputation has gradually spread among the pirates, making countless of them afraid of him, and no one dared to come to Loguetown, for the sea ritual when entering East Blue.

And that what made Saitama named the ‘Bald Devil’. His reputation has spread widely and shocked all over the world.

Although Saitama does not care about Marine ranks, his outstanding military achievements have been accumulated, and now he has been promoted from Captain to Commodore.

In addition to Bulin, Tashigi was Saitama's assistant.

According to her confused gesture in front of Saitama, there was something else than the commission.

Tashigi gave the letter to Saitama.

He looked at it, touched his chin, and whispered, “Well... according to this information, Captain Morgan of 153 branches is misbehaving in Shells Town, and also his son is equally notorious... they want me to investigate.”

Saitama looked at Tashigi and asked her: “So, Tashigi, are we close to Shells Town?”

“No, sir!”

Tashigi pushed her glasses and thought: “From here to Shells Town, it takes about 12 days for an ordinary ship, but our warship is faster, it will take about one week...”

Her face was full of confusion at that time.

“What? Is it so far?”

“No, Sir! it’s about one week away.”

Saitama took his coat, wear it, while Tashigi looked at it with fascination. “Because of your effort, the East Blue has become very safe, there is no pirate or ship can defeat our forces now... And the 153rd Branch commander who named Morgan, ranked as Captain, and you are the only person who is qualified to examine him in the whole East Blue.”

“In that case, I will go.”

Saitama thought for a few minutes, then with his thumb, made the approval sign for Tashigi: “Then, Bulin will take care of this place, let’s go out now!”

Tashigi saluted and said: “Yes, Sir!”

………………………………………………………………….………………………………………………………………….

Start sailing.

In addition to the crew and navigators who are required to navigate a warship, there are only two fighters, Saitama and Tashigi.

But this is already enough.

As long as there is this bald head, even if they sneak into the four emperors' nests, there will be no danger.

Standing on the deck, Saitama looked at the sea while listening to Tashigi's report about recent actions and news of the marine headquarters in boredom.

“The Shichibukai abolition proposal has officially entered the agenda...”

“Nico Robin, the Devil Child, is suspected of appearing in the Alabasta Kingdom...”

“Vice-admiral Sakazuki's investigation of corruption and collaboration with the enemy in the branch G-5 has been completed... All the traitors’ members were executed...”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

At this point, Tashigi looked to be bothered and did not continue to read.

Saitama glanced at her, yawned and waved his hand, “Okay, Okay, we need a year to finish these things, so let's talk about something else! What's about that guy named Morgan? Any information?”

“Oh! Ok”

Speaking of this, Tashigi finally put forward the report, and took out a small stack of files from behind a pile of documents. “According to the information transferred from the marine headquarters, captain Morgan bravely fought a lot of battles, and because he successfully arrested 'Kuro' the Captain of the ‘Black Cat Pirates’ and put him on the gallows, he was promoted to Captain. But it was a tragic victory, he did not only lost his right arm, but also his jaw was shattered, and almost lost his life...”

Saitama scratched his cheek: “Sounds like he's a good guy ...”

“He is a brave marine, it’s for sure that the marine headquarters have evidence...”

Tashigi sighed and continued: "But I really hope it's a mistake. It's a sad thing for such a brave marine who fought many pirates to turn corrupt..."

Saitama tugged his chin and said: “We will see...”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

A week later.

Saitama's warship docked at the wharf of Shells Town.

Obviously, Morgan had heard the news for a long time. As soon as Saitama got off the warship, he found a whole line of marine soldiers holding banners to greet him in the corridor. One of them started to speak, “Welco…”

Suddenly, a young man of 179 cm, blond, came quickly and push the soldier away. Rubbed his head by hands, nodded and said, “Welcome to Shells Town, My name is Helmeppo. My dad specifically asked me to welcome you. I hope that you like our special welcome ceremony for you...”

“Ok!” Saitama said with his usual blank face, as if he didn't care about anything: “What about Morgan? Didn't he come?”

Helmeppo panicked, pretended to smile, and said: “Ha...ha... Da… Dad! He is busy with maintaining public order, so he can’t make time to come... I apologize for that…”

Saying that, Helmeppo prayed in his heart that the ‘bald Devil’ was not angry. 'My dad is not coming, not because of some sh*t public order… but because He does not want to see Saitama. I remember his face last night… A picture can’t be removed... my father's shabby face last night from my mind.'

……………………………..

“What Commodore? So what? Why me, the great Morgan going to welcome some shit guy? And now get the hell out of here!!!"

……………………………..

Helmeppo was about to cry.

He thought that’s not a good idea to ignore a superior. Even if the rumors that Saitama does not pay attention and looks a bit like salted fish… was true, they need to be careful. That’s why he pulled a group of soldiers to welcome him.
