The 16th branch of the Navy.

“Bulu Bulu~ Bulu Bulu~”

“Squeak, this is Colonel Mouse of the 16th branch of the Navy. Is there anything you need to report?”

“Colonel, the Creek Pirates were destroyed by another group of pirates.”

“Oh, the Creek Pirates?”

Colonel Mouse touched his mouse-like beard and pondered for a while.

In his eyes, the Creek Pirates are one of the most powerful pirate groups in the East China Sea.

It is probably some emerging pirate group, but it is powerful enough.

“What do they look like?”

“The leading captain is wearing a straw hat.”

The Straw Hat Captain Pirates? They are probably fans of the Pirate King Roger. Roger also wore a straw hat when he went to sea.

“Well, I know, is there anything else to report?”

It doesn’t matter to him how many pirate groups there are in the East China Sea. Anyway, he won’t go to crusade. What he likes more is money.

“There is another important thing… The vice-captain on that ship took five slashes from Hawkeye without any damage.”

“Are you dreaming?”

“No, Colonel Ah, I saw it with my own eyes, and Hawkeye even admitted his failure himself!!”

“It’s getting more and more nonsense. Would I believe such an obvious lie? If there is nothing else, don’t report it.”

Colonel Mouse hung up the phone.

How could this be true?

Why did Hawkeye come to the East China Sea instead of staying in the Grand Line?

Even if he came, how could anyone in the East China Sea be able to block Hawkeye’s five slashes?

That’s the strongest slash in the world.

It’s probably because this marine ate something wrong and had hallucinations.

He didn’t care about the soldier’s delusion. He had to go to A’long Paradise to collect money next, and he couldn’t be delayed by a marine who was talking nonsense.

—————–

In A’long Paradise, A’long, who had light blue skin and a long nose like a saw, was chatting happily with Colonel Mouse.

They are in the Along Paradise on the Konomian Islands.

The Konomian Islands have a good climate, and the islands are rich in fruits and rice crops.

Along and his fish-man companions manage more than 20 villages on the Konomian Islands, and every year they charge very high management fees, that is, tribute, to the local villagers.

An adult is charged 100,000 Beli, and a child is charged 50,000 Beli.

For villages that cannot pay, Along will use violent means to suppress them to maintain his reputation.

Some villages were even razed to the ground by Along, and Along continued to accumulate money and experience the pleasure of oppressing humans in this process.

“Oh, our best companion is here.”

“Squeak, squeak, if it weren’t for the busy work, I would definitely have a drink with you.”

Although the content of the two people’s chat looks like two good partners, there is contempt and disdain in their eyes.

Neither of these two people looks down on each other, but they have to cooperate for different reasons.

Colonel Mouse likes money, but the navy is not allowed to collect money from citizens privately, and Arlong’s identity as a pirate can exploit the residents of the island unscrupulously.

Nami has returned to the Arlong Pirates at this time. She can’t do anything when she sees the navy and pirates colluding with each other.

It is because of the collusion between the pirates and the navy that her village, Cocoa West Village, has no external assistance.

And Arlong, who has a bounty of 20 million Baileys, is not something she can defeat by uniting with the people in the village.

Colonel Mouse and Arlong started a casual chat before the transaction, and Arlong ordered his men to get the money.

“Squeak, squeak, my men told me recently that the Creek Pirates seem to have been eliminated.”

“Creek Pirates?”

Arlong has a deep impression of the Creek Pirates. After all, his bounty is 20 million Baileys, while Creek’s bounty is 17 million Baileys.

Although their strength is definitely not as good as his, they should not be underestimated.

“Hahaha, buddy, there’s no need to be nervous. The subordinate who informed me also said that among the people who destroyed the Creek Pirates, there was one who could block Hawkeye’s five swords.”

He was a little confused before, but he laughed when he heard this.

“Hahaha, Colonel, you really need to teach your subordinates well. Do you have to report daydreams?”

Along actually hasn’t seen how strong Hawkeye is, but he knows a little.

The other party is the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and he is at the same level as Jinbei.

Jinbei is the most powerful fishman.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak, I’m just saying this. If you see a pirate group wearing straw hats, remember to pay attention.”

“Pirate group wearing straw hats?”

I heard itFamiliar things, Nami suddenly shuddered, the pirates wearing straw hats.

Could it be Luffy and his group?

She drove the ship away that day when everyone was not paying attention, and did not pay attention to what happened afterwards.

Do they have the ability to defeat Creek? Creek is a big pirate with a bounty of 17 million.

In fact, Nami did not believe that Luffy and Lin En had the ability to defeat the big pirate.

However, what if they really defeated Creek?

Nami lowered her head and looked at the Doran’s Shield pendant on her chest.

No, no, no, it’s impossible, no one can defeat Arlong.

In the decades that Arlong ruled the island, countless people who wanted to resist him became corpses without exception.

For Nami, Arlong has left an impression of being irresistible since her childhood.

While Nami was thinking, Arlong’s men had already given the suitcase full of Bailey to Colonel Mouse.

Colonel Mouse opened the suitcase, glanced at it with greedy eyes, and then closed it, laughing with Aaron.

“Squeak, squeak, then I’ll leave first. It would be bad if I’m discovered by other patrolling navy.”

“Oh, oh, don’t you stay for a drink? If any navy dares to report it, I will definitely kill him.”

After a false attempt to retain him, Aaron asked Xiao Ba to take Colonel Mouse back to the ship.

“Yo, yo, isn’t this Nami?”

After sending Colonel Mouse away, Aaron noticed Nami’s arrival.

Hiding the disgust in her eyes, Nami’s face was full of smiles again.

“Looking at your expression, this trip has been fruitful.”

“I met some honest and rich guys.”

“Oh~~ It seems that we are one step closer to fulfilling our promise!”

Nami didn’t reply. This was all the effort she made to protect the village, saving up 100 million Baileys to buy this village.

Only by relying on oneself can one accomplish what one wants to do.

For so many years, she has always wanted to defeat Arlong, but the reality is cruel. The ruins of Housha Town are the result of Arlong’s united struggle.

United struggle will fail, and partners who come to help will be killed.

In the final analysis, this is her war alone.

Arlong looked at Nami and seemed to be full of yearning for the future life, and he couldn’t help laughing in his heart.

How could he let Nami escape from his palm? For so many years, he has been controlling Nami like this.

He waved his palm and summoned his fish-man partners.

“Hold a party for our Nami!!!”

The tone was intimate but still false.
