The warship slowed down after approaching the vessel.
Immediately after, a dashing figure appeared on the deck.
The figure on the deck was a tall woman with a peach blossom complexion, wearing hot pants revealing a pair of stunningly long legs, and draped in a Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral's cloak with a long sword strapped to her waist.
Seeing the figure standing on the deck, looking down at him from the height of the warship, Xia Yu's eyes flashed with surprise, "Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral Tsuru?"
The one standing on the warship's deck was Tsuru Gion, who had been sent on a mission.
After learning from Admiral Kizaru that the Red Rabbit who had killed the Celestial Dragon and the members of the Goa Kingdom royal family was no longer within the Goa Kingdom's territory, she could only turn around and prepare to conduct a carpet search of the nearby seas and islands!
“Hey!”
Suddenly, a Navy officer standing beside Tsuru spoke up, facing Xia Yu and asking loudly, "Did you see a Red Rabbit and a Doberman?"
“What rabbit and dog?”
Xia Yu raised his head, pretending he hadn't heard clearly.
“A Red Rabbit and a Doberman!” the officer repeated loudly.
“Red belly dog?” Xia Yu questioned.
“Eh…” The Navy officer was about to say something but stopped, his mind slightly disoriented.
Seeing this, Tsuru shook her head and smiled, raising her hand to stop the officer beside her. Then, with a single leap, she jumped off the warship and landed steadily in front of Xia Yu.
“Hello, I'm Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral Gion.”
Tsuru, standing before Xia Yu, flashed a smile and said politely, "We're chasing a Red Rabbit and a Doberman. Have you seen them?"
“Red Rabbit and Doberman?”
Xia Yu's eyes lit up, "I have, of course! Two days ago, they were still on my ship. They're such interesting fellows, especially the Red Rabbit. Super goofy when not angry, super scary when angry! Ahahaha…”
Tsuru didn't expect to get information about the Red Rabbit and Doberman so easily. She probed cautiously, “Did you see them last night or early this morning?”
“Yes, yes!”
Xia Yu nodded repeatedly, "They suddenly came to my ship just three hours ago, saying they wanted to find their master! They asked if I could give them a ride!”
“Their… master?” Tsuru's heart skipped a beat. Was this a way to trace back to the mastermind behind the scenes?
Though this was her thought, she didn't show any reaction on her face. She asked calmly, “Do you know who their master is?”
“Let me think!” Xia Yu thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, “I remember them saying something, but for a moment… I remember, their master seems to be in a village called Cocoyasi, with a big house by the sea! As for their name… Right, what was it called? You see, my memory is terrible, I can't remember!”
“Cocoyasi Village?”
Tsuru slightly raised her eyebrows. Although she was a Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral, she wasn't familiar with some villages and islands in the East Blue. But it didn't matter, she could contact the highest officials in Loguetown, East Blue, and other base commanders.
Thinking about this, Tsuru didn't waste any time. She bowed slightly to Xia Yu and said, "Thank you very much for providing the information. Also, the sea is not peaceful, so try not to go out to sea alone in the future!"
“Okay!” Xia Yu nodded and then asked, "Can I ask a presumptuous question? Did that Red Rabbit and Doberman commit something? When I first met them and heard them speak, I thought they were monsters and was scared to death! Thankfully, they seemed very friendly…”
“Didn't you already see the news?” Tsuru glanced at the newspaper placed beside Xia Yu.
“What!”
Xia Yu immediately widened his eyes, his face filled with fear, “The Red Rabbit mentioned in the news… It couldn't be. That, I… I had contact with them, could I be implicated!”
“Don't worry, we are the righteous Navy and we don't frame innocent people.”
Seeing Xia Yu's fearful expression, Tsuru shook her head and smiled, then turned and leaped back onto the warship's deck.
“By the way, I haven't asked your name yet.”
As soon as she returned to the deck, Tsuru felt something was amiss. She turned back to look at Xia Yu, who had picked up the newspaper, "You dare to go out to sea alone, aren't you afraid of encountering pirates?!”
“I'm Xia Yu, a traveler!”
Xia Yu didn't hide anything, revealing a harmless smile, "I'm also preparing a novel about the customs and people of the four seas and the rising tides of the Grand Line! As for pirates, isn't there the Navy in the East Blue? Not afraid!”
“Traveler?” Tsuru blinked and nodded lightly, "Remembered! Hope to read your masterpiece someday. Farewell!”
Before Xia Yu could reply, Tsuru ordered her deputy, “Full speed ahead, target Cocoyasi Village!”
As soon as the warship Tsuru was on left, another warship approached, followed by a familiar graceful figure blooming like a rose before Xia Yu's eyes.
With just a glance, Xia Yu recognized that the graceful figure belonged to Navy Headquarters' Colonel Tina, real name Hina, the user of the Kyan Kyan Fruit!
Standing on the edge of the deck, Tina had a refreshing pale pink middle-parted long hair, exquisite features, and a pair of eyes that sparkled with an aloof coldness. She held a cigarette between her fingers.
This woman is not easy to fool!
Scanning Tina standing on the warship's deck, Xia Yu narrowed his eyes, secretly thinking whether he should continue to use the same tactics to fool Tina after she asked the same questions, or change his posture… Ah no, change his strategy to see if he could fool this cold beauty.
As the warship approached, Tina, who had exhaled a puff of smoke, finally cast her gaze upon Xia Yu.
