“How dare you!”
Seeing A Jian suddenly kneel, Colonel Rat was the first to react.
He stepped forward, quickly drew his sword, and pointed it at A Jian’s head, “You dare to block the Vice Admiral’s path? You’re asking for death! Men, drag this man away!”
With Colonel Rat’s order, the soldiers of the 16th Branch, who had followed him and enjoyed his favors for years, had no hesitation in rushing forward to drag A Jian away!
Seeing this, Tsuru frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Retreat!”
Colonel Rat quickly walked to Tsuru and bowed, “Vice Admiral, this kind of small matter, just leave it to me to handle.”
Tsuru slightly raised her eyes, coldly said, “I told you to retreat!”
Before her words finished, Tsuru took a step forward and stood in front of A Jian, her tone suddenly becoming gentle, “Mr. A Jian, please get up and speak! I am Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters. You just said that you want me to stand up for the villagers of Cocoyasi Village, what is it about?”
“Vice Admiral, the villagers of Cocoyasi Village are suffering!”
A Jian seized the opportunity and said with tears in his eyes, “Several years ago, an evil dragon pirate crew came to Cocoyasi Village. As soon as they landed, they forced the villagers to pay money. They demanded payment every month, ten thousand for adults, five thousand for children. If they couldn’t pay, they would kill them…”
Hearing A Jian’s tearful accusation, Tsuru’s eyes gradually filled with killing intent. She never expected that there was still such a pirate crew in the East Blue that had been bullying the people for so many years.
What shocked her most was that the evil dragon pirate crew, which had been preying on Cocoyasi Village and more than twenty nearby villages, actually lived in that Dragon Park built by the sea!
They had been bullying the people and killing innocents for years, and now they had even allowed their pet Red Rabbit to kill a Celestial Dragon. This evil dragon pirate crew was simply unforgivable!
Of course, this was not important!
What was important was that the evil dragon pirate crew had been able to stay here for so many years without being captured because they had been colluding with Colonel Rat of the 16th Branch!
"Colonel Rat, explain yourself."
Tsuru tilted her head and looked at Colonel Rat, her voice deep, “As the Colonel of the 16th Branch, you actually colluded with the pirates in your jurisdiction to bully the people. Do you know your crime!"
"I’m wronged, Vice Admiral!” Colonel Rat fell to his knees with a plop and said hurriedly, “How could I possibly collude with pirates? Vice Admiral, please don’t believe him. I know this A Jian, he’s the one who colluded with Arlong. He’s a corrupt officer who has a foster daughter named Nami. She’s been drawing nautical maps for Arlong’s crew for years!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Before Tsuru could speak, A Jian immediately raised his head and looked at Colonel Rat, "Nami was captured by Arlong’s crew!"
"Brrrruuu…"
Just then, the Den Den Mushi in Tsuru's arms rang, "Vice Admiral, there’s no one in the high-rise building. According to our observations, they should have been alerted and escaped before we arrived! However, Cocoyasi Village is now surrounded by us, they shouldn’t be able to escape!"
Hearing this, Tsuru's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly and she said calmly, "They’re fish-men pirates, they should have escaped into the sea! You guys search carefully, and see if you can find any clues related to the Red Rabbit!"
As soon as Tsuru finished speaking, several voices came from the Den Den Mushi.
"Report, a small attic was found on the top floor!"
"Go up and check it out!"
"Yes!"
"You…you guys don’t come up!"
"Report, a girl was found in the attic! It seems that she didn’t have time to escape and hid here!"
Hearing the voices coming from the Den Den Mushi, A Jian, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up. Nojiko, who was standing not far away, also rushed forward at this time, excitedly shouting into the Den Den Mushi, "Nami, is that you? It’s Nojiko!”
Looking at the blue-haired girl who suddenly rushed to her side, Tsuru roughly understood what was going on and simply said, “Bring the girl over immediately. I have something to ask her!"
After speaking, Tsuru put away the Den Den Mushi and swept her gaze over A Jian, who had suddenly stood up, and Nojiko, who was looking excited. "Don't worry, if all this is really the result of Colonel Rat’s collusion with pirates, I will definitely give you justice!"
Pausing slightly, she shifted her gaze and looked at Colonel Rat who was kneeling on the ground, trembling.
Just from Colonel Rat’s reaction, she could basically conclude that everything A Jian had said was probably true.
However, this was not her main purpose of coming here. Now the top priority before her was the Red Rabbit that killed the Celestial Dragon and slaughtered the royal family of the Goa Kingdom!
"Vice Admiral, I really am wronged!” Feeling that Tsuru’s eyes were gradually turning cold, Colonel Rat begged while rolling his eyes slyly.
Sitting and waiting for death was not his style. He had to turn the situation around!
Right now, Vice Admiral Tsuru had come to the East Blue to capture the lawless Red Rabbit. It was no exaggeration to say that nothing was more important than capturing the Red Rabbit right now!
This meant that he still had a chance to turn things around.
"Whether you’re wronged or not, I will investigate clearly!"
Tsuru waved her hand and said calmly, "Get up first. As a Navy Branch Colonel, your knees should not be so weak!"
Hearing this, Colonel Rat’s eyes lit up with hope, and he quickly got up and stepped back.
After a while, the soldiers who had gone to Dragon Park returned one after another.
At the front of the team, two Navy Headquarters Lieutenant Commanders stood on either side of a girl.
The girl had beautiful orange-red short hair and brown eyes. She looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old. Although she hadn’t fully grown up yet, her figure was already starting to develop. She was definitely a beautiful girl.
