Tiana had obviously noticed the ship long ago and had also seen Xia Yu, this strange angler.
Although the East Blue was known as the weakest sea, her direct superior, Garp, would often visit the East Blue, suppressing the East Blue pirates so they dared not show their faces.
But that was all. No matter which sea, pirates were becoming increasingly rampant.
Under such circumstances, few merchants or fishermen would venture out alone, let alone sail out to sea to fish!
Those who dared to do so generally fell into two categories: either they were ignorant and fearless, or they were extremely confident in their own strength.
As for this strange angler, Xia Yu, she leaned towards the latter.
“Hey, hello, female officer!”
Seeing Tiana’s seemingly distant but actually very curious gaze, Xia Yu didn’t remain passive. As the warship drew closer, he actively waved and greeted her, “Are you also here to capture that Red Rabbit and the Doberman? I just remembered something. I forgot to tell that long-legged female officer in front!”
Hearing Xia Yu calling Vice Admiral Tsuru the long-legged female officer, Tiana lowered her gaze slightly towards Xia Yu, who was enthusiastically greeting her, “Long-legged female officer? Her name is Tsuru, she’s a Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters!”
“Oh, right, right, Vice Admiral Tsuru!” Xia Yu showed a harmless smile.
“Have you seen Red Rabbit and the Doberman?” Tiana blinked her beautiful eyes, looking puzzled, “Tiana is very confused. What exactly is your relationship with Red Rabbit and that Doberman!”
Hmm, it has that feel!
Hearing Tiana even spitting out her catchphrase, Xia Yu forcefully suppressed the corners of his mouth. This woman looked shrewd and cold, but she should actually be easier to deceive!
“What relationship?” Xia Yu thought for a moment and explained, “It’s probably a chance encounter! I happened to meet them at sea. They were floating in the sea, calling for help. At that time, I thought I saw a monster, and I was terrified! But, heaven is merciful, and I still pulled them aboard! Sigh, if I had known they would cause such a big commotion, I shouldn’t have pulled them up. I should’ve let them drown!”
“Let them drown?” Tiana blinked again, “Tiana doesn’t understand, what does ‘let them drown’ mean?”
Damn!
With a cold face, she spoke with such naive words. This contrast, it’s unbeatable!
Seeing Tiana’s clear eyes filled with foolishness, Xia Yu held back his laughter, “That’s not important. The important thing is that about two or three hours ago, I saw them. They said they were going to a village called Cocoyasi. I already told that long-legged officer before! Now I want to tell the beautiful officer that they seemed to mention passing through a village called Syrup Village before going to Cocoyasi Village, saying that their partner is there!”
“Hmm?”
Hearing that Red Rabbit and the Doberman had a partner, Tiana quickly asked, “What partner?”
“It seems to be called… Let me think… Uh, I remember! It seems to be called the Black Cat Pirates!”
“Syrup Village, the Black Cat Pirates?”
Tiana blinked. Although she was a Marine Headquarters Lieutenant Commander, she would occasionally patrol the East Blue and had some understanding of the pirates that were making headlines in the East Blue recently. The Black Cat Pirates were a pirate crew that had emerged in the past two years, led by a captain called Crocus. He was a very cunning pirate!
Thinking about this, Tiana no longer wasted time. Without waving goodbye to Xia Yu, she signaled to her subordinates to speed up the warship and turned around with a very cold expression, dialing a Den Den Mushi.
Before the other side could speak, Tiana asked first, “Tsuru, did the man on that ship just tell you that Red Rabbit was going to Cocoyasi Village?”
“Yes, he did.” A gentle voice came from the Den Den Mushi, “That man doesn’t seem to be lying. Anyway, we don’t have any leads right now, so why don’t we go check it out!”
“I’m going to Syrup Village!” Tiana didn’t bother with any further explanation. She simply said, “He said Red Rabbit has a partner called the Black Cat Pirates! Black Cat, Red Rabbit, Doberman… maybe they are actually a group!”
“Okay, we’ll split up!” On the deck of the warship, which was already a long distance away, Tsuru turned to look at Tiana’s warship, which was now just a blurry silhouette, and smiled faintly, “Tiana, that traveler was nice. If we find Red Rabbit’s whereabouts in Cocoyasi Village or Syrup Village, after this incident is resolved, you should patrol the East Blue more often. You can’t let the traveler encounter any misfortune, okay!”
“What do you mean?” Tiana’s voice was filled with confusion, “Tiana doesn’t understand!”
“You wouldn’t want to end up like me, would you?” A hint of helplessness flashed in Tsuru’s eyes, “Recently, Vice Admiral Garp has been getting increasingly crazy. Whenever he has free time, he crazily confesses his love to me! Garp is good, but I don’t like him! And you’re young, beautiful, and single. Many officers at Headquarters are still rational now. But as long as you remain single, their thoughts will become more frequent. And they will definitely become a hundred times more crazy than Garp in the future. After all, our Tiana is very beautiful!”
Hearing the sudden concern coming from the Den Den Mushi, Tiana’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she said unhappily, “Tiana just wants to capture that brazen Red Rabbit now! If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up!”
Meanwhile.
Xia Yu, who was like a solitary angler in a straw cloak, fishing alone in the snowy river, suddenly sneezed.
Hmm?
Xia Yu, who hadn’t sneezed in a long time, blinked in a daze and then looked around.
He had just managed to fool Vice Admiral Tsuru and Lieutenant Commander Tiana into going to Syrup Village and Cocoyasi Village. Hopefully, Luffy wouldn’t come back with Red Rabbit at this moment!
If Red Rabbit and Luffy returned to the ship at this time, his plan to travel the world and experience the cultures of the Grand Line wouldn’t be as peaceful and leisurely!
And the reason why he had tricked Vice Admiral Tsuru and Lieutenant Commander Tiana into going to Syrup Village and Cocoyasi Village.
It was because he planned to visit these two places in his next step. However, there was the Black Cat Pirates in Syrup Village, and the Buggy Pirates in Cocoyasi Village. He didn’t like fighting and killing. This was a perfect opportunity for him to lead the Marines there and have Tsuru and Tiana handle these troublesome matters!
He had seen many crossovers of One Piece in his previous world. The protagonists, whether they joined the Marines or became pirates, could completely eliminate potential threats in the early stages through some small means, using information disparity to get the Marines to do it! But these protagonists wouldn’t do that. They had to rush in and show off.
Maybe everyone’s pursuits are different!
He just didn’t like doing that.
If Red Rabbit hadn’t caused this incident, he would have used Garp’s hand to eliminate the hidden dangers in his future travel destinations one by one, and then he would travel there himself and be happy!
Why do it yourself when you can use someone else as a weapon? It’s very troublesome, okay!
