Rape Flower Port, a medium-sized port city in southern Alabastan, as a trade-oriented city, the people of Rape Flower Port are living a good life, but since the national war and rebels have risen around, there have been pirates here from time to time to take advantage of the fire to rob. 『』

Fortunately, there is a "guardian spirit" of the sand crocodile, and all the invading pirates are eliminated.

And a few days ago, another group of powerful navies came, and they drove away all the nearby pirates by the way, making the merchants of Rape Flower Harbor applaud.

At this time, the head of the powerful navy is investigating the matter of the "guardian saint".

Looking at the shopkeeper's vigilant look, Dusty smiled bitterly in her heart, then she bowed and left the shop.

"Colonel Smoker. The blue-haired glasses lady saluted her boss who was smoking a cigar in a proper manner: "There is still no news of the Straw Hat Boy, and the owner of this shop, like the previous ones, is reluctant to reveal anything about Klockdahl." ”

Speaking of this, Dusty remembered the appearance of those merchants just now, who were afraid that the navy would be unfavorable to their patron saint, and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Yes...... Smoker spat out a smoke ring, glanced vaguely at the suspicious people who were secretly spying on their group of navies, and then ordered the surrounding navy, "Let's go look elsewhere." ”

"Yes!" the navies responded.

Speaking of which, the White Hunter came to Alabastan this time because the black phone bug intercepted an intermittent call log, which made him think that he would meet the straw hat boy who escaped from him here, but he didn't expect that the Navy Headquarters gave him a new mission soon after.

Investigate the truth about Klockdahl's rebellion with Alabastan.

In fact, as the "legitimate pirates" of the world government in order to check and balance the four emperors, the navy cannot unilaterally interfere with the personal behavior of the seven martial seas unless it is necessary in a few cases, that is to say, even if the sand crocodile secretly does something evil, the top brass of the navy will turn a blind eye without conclusive evidence.

But what the information from the small garden showed was not something that the Navy or even the World Government could tolerate.

The details of that information will not be detailed, but the general meaning is as follows:

Tired of the evil rule of the king of Alabastan, Klockdahl planned to connect with Dorag's revolutionary army and help the rebels overthrow the regime in Alabastan and establish a new order.

Hehe, don't you think it's ridiculous?

A Qiwu Sea actually became a "partner of justice", and planned to devote himself to the great revolutionary cause without hesitation for the sake of the suffering people, which is simply a big joke in the world!

It's clearly splashing dirty water!

The world government thought so at first, but because the identity of the revolutionary army was too sensitive, they sent some people to investigate.

As a result, they found that Klockdahl actually played the heroic role of "patron saint" in Alabastan, and his reputation was skyrocketing. This unusual move attracted the minds of some well-intentioned people, so they continued to investigate deeply, and followed the information given by that intelligence.

Later, they found out that Klockdahl had been secretly buying arms and supplies from other places to help the rebels over the years, and that the 400,000 king's army had turned against each other a while ago and was inseparable from the sand crocodile's private actions.

Moreover, it seems that Nicole Robin, the son of the devil, is working closely with him. And after verification, the information about the revolutionary army in that information is somewhat outdated, but it is true......

After all, now Dorag's revolutionary army has become a big problem for them, if the sand crocodile really joins the revolutionary army, it will be a huge blow to the world government, and even the entire Seven Martial Seas system may have indelible cracks.

So, a wonderful misunderstanding was born.

It is estimated that Klockdahl would not have imagined that the glorious image he worked hard to maintain became the key to being suspected by the higher-ups.

"Really, I hate investigating things the most, I guess Tina should be there too, so let her do it then. ”

The order from the Navy Headquarters was for Black Prison Tina to come to the aid of the White Hunters after escorting the pirates of the Hungry Wolf Pirates to the G8 Fortress.

Smoker was walking down the bustling street with a navy in his mouth, and suddenly, a restaurant full of people in front of him caught the attention of the white hunter.

"This shop is so noisy...... "Smoker smacked his lips and walked towards the crowd with some curiosity. When the men saw the navy coming, they quickly got out of the way, and at the same time whispered earnestly:

"It is said that he died suddenly while talking to his boss. ”

"It can't be that I ate a desert strawberry by mistake......

Smoker walked into this small restaurant and found several stacks of empty plates piled up at the front desk, and a man with a ** upper body was maintaining the posture of eating, but his head with a cowboy hat plunged into the plate full of food in front of him, and he looked motionless as if he was dead.

But the most eye-catching thing is the tattoo on his back.

This is a dark purple skull symbol, and the beard that looks like a crescent moon is particularly eye-catching.

Smoker's pupils contracted sharply, and the muscles on his body suddenly tensed: "I really didn't expect to find an amazing character here......"

But no one noticed, a rubber fool who looked like a starving ghost was rushing towards the smell of food.

…………

Outside the rape flower harbor, on a huge naval warship.

Sherlock sat in a chair in the captain's room, flipping through the information in his hand.

As soon as the Merry docked, Sherlock left Luffy and the others and came to the place where the navy was stationed, and for a sorcerer who could stealth, it was really easy to infiltrate a warship with only some ordinary naval guards.

"After receiving my [small gift], the Navy has prepared a good return gift for me......" Satisfied, Sherlock pushed his glasses with a calm face.

At that time, the information that Tina, who was in the small garden, obtained from the ship of the Hungry Wolf Pirates, was provided by Sherlock, which contained some of the findings of Princess Vivi and Ikalem over the past two years, as well as some secret information about the Revolutionary Army.

He frantically poured dirty water on the sand crocodile, portraying him as an aspiring person who was determined to overthrow the corrupt rule of the world government, and even a revolutionary army that had nothing to do with half a dime, the purpose of which was to make the world government and navy pay attention to this country that was in rebellion.

Now it seems that the effect of this [small gift] is better than that of Sherlock's plan, and the intervention of the navy not only effectively hinders the implementation of the Baroque Studio's secret plan, but also helps Sherlock collect a lot of useful information and save a lot of time.

After all, gathering intelligence can be said to be a habit that Sherlock has developed over the years.

Sherlock was not naïve enough to think that those navies alone would be able to stop the rebellion, because without an unforgivable reason, the "incriminating evidence" collected by Vivi alone would not have turned the navy and the world government against the Seven Martial Seas, and by the time Klokdartu saw it, it would be too late.

"These navies are still not aggressive enough, is it because their top brass is too steady?"

Sherlock closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

In fact, Sherlock was right, at this time, the Admiral was the wise general who followed the golden mean, so even if the Navy was already very distrustful of the Sand Crocodile, they would not act drastically without conclusive evidence. (PS: This if this is left two years later, Akainu as a marshal...... Hehe. ）

Putting a piece of roast meat on the plate on the table into his mouth, Sherlock chewed it carefully, and thought silently to himself:

(It seems that in order to pull the Navy into the water, I must create an irresistible [reason] for them...... ）

(But the food in the navy is really good, although it's still far from Sanji's food.) ）

Just as the sorcerer was stealing the navy's rations without any psychological burden, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the captain's room, and Sherlock's expression changed slightly, and then he observed the movement outside through the Guò telescope.

(Why did all the navy leave for the city?, and they were heavily armed...... Sherlock's eyes narrowed slightly, and then the heartless smiling face of a stupid cargo captain flashed in his mind, and he instantly understood something, and his head was full of black lines.

(It's so hard to get this idiot to feel like a bounty...... The sorcerer put his hand on his forehead in great desperation, silently blessed the Straw Hats who were resupplying supplies in the city, and then he settled down and walked out of the cabin to the deck, which had become empty.

Some salty sea breeze ruffled Sherlock's bits of black hair, loosening his nerves, which had been tense all along.

Even though he usually seemed as calm and calm as usual, Sherlock was actually very nervous in his heart.

To be precise, except for the Straw Hat Kid who has always been full of confidence, everyone in the Straw Hat Regiment is full of pressure as if they have pressed a big stone.

After all, their enemy this time is not a cat or a dog, but a sand crocodile from one of the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty, Klokdal!

"Vivi ......" couldn't help but think back to the heartbreaking expression of the pretending strong blue-haired girl in Whiskey Hill.

(You've been through this for the past two years?? But that's okay, the nightmare will be over soon. Sherlock's expression changed slightly, and his eyes under the lenses shone with determination.

However, just as Sherlock was about to leave here to fight Luffy and the others, an abrupt voice caught the attention of the sorcerer.

"What do you want to do?" "Immobilized.11 who was tied to the mast looked at the muzzle of the gun pointed at him in horror, "I'm a billionaire, you can't do this!"

"Don't say stupid things!" the three million messengers who took advantage of the fact that no one was walking the naval warship showed a sneering look on their faces: "We need you to give up a command position!"

After saying that, a million messengers sneered and gently pulled the trigger of the pistol.

"Bang, bang, bang!" "Bang, bang!"

"Woo......"

Thinking that he was certain to die.11 subconsciously closed his eyes and trembled violently, but after a while, he found that he did not feel the imaginary pain, so he opened his eyes lightly in some confusion.

"This ......" looked at the three corpses lying in a pool of blood, and a look of ecstasy appeared on .11's face: "I actually survived?!!"

"Hey~" A magnetic Qingyue male voice came from behind him, and the glasses man with three long-barreled muskets floating beside him slowly emerged.

"They just said you were a billionaire elder in a Baroque workshop?" Sherlock looked at the middle-aged man with two patterns painted on his face, and pushed his glasses with a calm expression.

11 hurriedly retracted his excited expression: "That's right, yes, please hurry up and help me untie the rope, I will definitely repay you well!"

"Yes, that's great...... Sherlock smiled slightly, "Their navy is really polite, and they have prepared a good [gift] for me." ”

“……”

Looking at the perfect curvature of the corners of the strange man's mouth in front of him, .13 shuddered inexplicably, and an extremely bad premonition rose in his heart.
