Not long after the warships of Tsuru and Tina had passed, several more warships sailed into this channel.
It wasn't until noon that the channel finally quieted down.
Watching the last warship disappear over the horizon, even Xia Yu was a little overwhelmed.
Because whenever these warships entered this channel, they would come alongside and ask about the Red Rabbit. Some of the Navy admirals on these warships he had seen in the original work, while others were completely unfamiliar!
Fortunately, whether they were familiar or not, these warships all seemed very urgent, and under his coaxing, they left in a hurry!
With that, Xia Yu lost his desire to fish and decisively woke up Green Rabbit, heading straight for the waters of Syrup Village.
…
Syrup Village waters.
Due to the major incident of the Celestial Dragon being killed in the East Blue, the Black Cat Pirates captain, Kuro, who had originally planned to fake his death and infiltrate the wealthy household in Syrup Village, stood on the deck of his pirate ship with a gloomy expression.
Because several Navy warships had sailed into the waters of Syrup Village earlier, he had been forced to order his Black Cat Pirates ship to lower its flag and then drive the pirate ship into a hidden spot on the coast of Syrup Village.
“Captain, this is bad!”
The Black Cat Pirates’ vice-captain, Jango, picked up his binoculars and looked around nervously, saying: “The warship that just left, it was the warship of the Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral, Smoker! Thankfully he didn’t discover us, otherwise we’d be in big trouble this time!”
Before Kuro could react, one of the Black Cat Pirates’ cat-men brothers, Sam, with a head of green hair, angrily said: “Damn Red Rabbit, messing up the whole East Blue, even dragging us down with him!”
“Captain, Captain—"
Suddenly, a pirate ran up to Kuro, holding a telescope, and stuttered: "Warship… there’s another warship approaching Syrup Village!”
“Damn it!”
Sam couldn't help but curse, grumbling: “How many waves are there, will it ever end!”
“Shut up!” Kuro, who had been silent, turned to look at Sam, habitually pushing up his glasses with his wrist, and said coldly: “If you don’t want to die, go back to the cabin! Right now is the time when the Celestial Dragon was killed, anyone who dares to show their face at this time, will face the wrath of the Navy and the World Government!”
“But Captain…”
The pirate who had walked up to Kuro hesitated, but finally mustered up his courage and said loudly: "But Captain, that warship seems to be heading towards us!"
“Huh?”
Kuro’s expression changed slightly, and he snatched the telescope from the pirate’s hand!
“Black檻, Tina!”
As soon as he saw through the telescope the warship heading straight for Syrup Village, a figure that had struck fear into the hearts of all pirates in the East Blue appeared without warning before his eyes.
Appearing in the telescope’s lens was Tina, the Petty Officer who had been coaxed by Xia Yu to head straight for Syrup Village.
She stood on the deck, clad in a coat, holding binoculars and looking towards the coast where the Black Cat Pirates were hiding.
And so, Tina and Kuro appeared in each other’s lenses!
“Hundred Schemes · Braku!”
At the same time that Kuro appeared in the lens, the pirate ship beneath his feet also entered Tina’s field of vision. Recognizing the “Hundred Schemes · Braku,” Tina’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and she said coldly: "Black Cat Pirates, I’ve found you!"
Meanwhile.
Cocoyasi Village.
Arlong Park.
“Boss, it’s not good, it’s not good!”
Accompanied by a burst of urgent sounds, a fish-man pirate suddenly emerged from the pond leading to the open sea, then rushed ashore and ran towards Arlong, saying: “There are several warships heading towards Cocoyasi Village at full speed, should we dive underwater to avoid the storm?”
“How is that possible?”
Arlong furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice: "Shouldn't the Navy be at Goa Kingdom at this time? Why are they heading towards Cocoyasi Village?”
“Could it be that Red Rabbit escaped?”
As soon as this thought popped up, Arlong felt inexplicably that something was wrong, and immediately picked up the phone snail next to him and dialed: "Mouse, what’s going on? How could warships appear in the waters of Cocoyasi Village?”
“Arlong, you’ve killed me!”
A voice filled with anger came from the phone snail, “Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral, Tsuru, heard the news from somewhere, saying that you’re the owner of that Red Rabbit!”
“What?”
Arlong seemed to have misheard, he stood up abruptly, and shouted angrily: "I’m the owner of that Red Rabbit? What are you talking about! I don’t even know what that Red Rabbit looks like!"
On the other side of the phone snail, on the deck of a warship sailing towards Cocoyasi Village at full speed, a sharp-faced, rat-hatted Navy officer who looked rather like a rat, stared ahead with a solemn expression.
The Mouse, a Navy East Blue 16th Branch Captain, a corrupt official in the Navy, a villainous Captain who had been collaborating with Arlong’s Pirate Crew to oppress the people for a long time.
Because Vice Admiral Tsuru was ordered to enter the East Blue to assist Admiral Kizaru in capturing the Red Rabbit who had killed the Celestial Dragon, as the Captain of the East Blue Branch, he immediately received the news and blocked the waters under his jurisdiction!
At that time, he thought this matter wouldn’t have much to do with him, a small-time Captain like him. But just a few hours ago, Vice Admiral Tsuru suddenly issued a new order, requiring him to seal off all the waters under the jurisdiction of the 16th Branch, and that other branch Captains must rush to assist.
The reason was that Vice Admiral Tsuru had received news that the owner of the Red Rabbit was in Cocoyasi Village, but she didn't say who it was, only that they had to control a tall building in Cocoyasi Village overlooking the sea.
Cocoyasi Village, a tall building overlooking the sea!
Wasn’t that Arlong Pirate Crew’s Arlong Park?
Upon receiving this news, the Mouse immediately called Arlong on the phone snail, but the other party didn’t respond, which made him anxious to the point of cracking!
Over the years, he had collaborated with Arlong quite a bit, and the benefits he had received from Arlong were thousands of times more than his salary as Captain of the 16th Branch!
If Arlong were to be captured, and he spilled the beans, he would be thrown into prison, even if he didn’t die.
Thinking about this, the Mouse secretly took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: “Whether or not you have anything to do with that Red Rabbit, the things you’ve done over the years are enough to get you locked up in prison for a lifetime! So, for your sake and for my sake, take your crew and dive underwater right now!”
“Who is spreading this false information?!”
Arlong’s temper was somewhat high, he grabbed the phone snail fiercely and said through gritted teeth: “Mouse, you have to find out for me! Whoever it is, I’m going to kill him, or I won’t be able to swallow this!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll find out!”
The Mouse didn’t say anything more, he urged: "Dive underwater right now!"
