After wandering around for a while, and sitting in some taverns in the town that specialize in selling all kinds of information, Tang Bai already had a relatively clear understanding of this town, or the West Sea where this town is located. Of course, the owner of the tavern could not have given him too much information that was time-sensitive or secretive.

But Tang Bai doesn't need any of these either.

For him now, some ordinary, basic information is more useful than that that is either time-sensitive or hidden.

As a thriving transit trading town, the time-sensitive information and intelligence of the tavern here is nothing more than information about the need for such and such goods in such and such a place linked to commerce. And with the important information of secrecy, Tang Bai really didn't think that he could find out anything in this kind of tavern.

If truly secret information really circulates in a well-informed place like a tavern, it can't be called any major and valuable secret information. If a person does pick and choose to enter a bar in a certain place, and then he gets secret information from the owner of the tavern that no one else knows but that he desperately needs. Then there could be at least any of the following four possibilities.

First, that person is the invincible protagonist of the book.

Second, the owner of the tavern is teasing you.

Third, this tavern is the eyes and ears of a hidden force that has been planted for many years, and wants to get in touch with that person.

Fourth, this secret message, is a bait that is deliberately released and the wisher takes the bait.

Dense footsteps rang out outside the tavern, and then the bar's wooden door was slammed open from the outside. Squad of ten. Soldiers in navy uniforms rushed in with guns in their hands. One of the sergeants at the head glanced at the tavern and pointed to Tang Bai, who was having a good conversation with the tavern owner in front of the counter.

The barrels of the guns were erected in unison. The muzzle of the gun is pointed uniformly at the point where the sergeant's finger is pointing.

The tavern, which used to be loud and noisy, was quiet for a while. With a smile on his face, the tavern owner who was courteously entertaining Tang Bai, a big customer in his eyes, suddenly saw the muzzles of nearly ten firearms pointed at him, and the smile on his face full of spring breeze suddenly stopped.

"Turn around." A calm man's voice. Ringing in the silent tavern.

"The reaction was unexpectedly fast, and it made me somewhat interested in your chief." Tang Bai turned around in the chair, his arms back. Strap on the counter behind you. His eyes glanced at the few naval soldiers who were pointing their guns at him and slowly surrounding him.

"Arrest him and interrogate him about his origins and details." The sergeant who had spoken out before gave the order again. And this man seemed to have great prestige in the hearts of these soldiers he had brought with him, and hardly discounted his orders. Execution without even asking.

"I've just been here." Tang Bai was at a loss for the naval soldiers who were bullying him. His eyes were just staring at the naval sergeant with a resolute and calm face, who looked to be in middle age.

"Of course we know that we came in a lifeboat with the Calis Pirates logo painted on it. Although you haven't been found to have any bounties on you, these are sensitive times, and anyone associated with pirates is something to be suspected. Please don't resist. The naval sergeant at the head said indifferently.

Nearly seven years have passed since the era of madness started by Gore Roger. But for nearly seven years, every year has been pouring into the ocean. The people who want to explore the Great Secret of One Piece are getting mader and crazier every year. It's like a fountain. But this era, which was pioneered by Gore D Roger, is still far from reaching its peak moment.

The moment when you don't reach the peak of the city means that this madness will only climb higher and higher, and will not fall into decline.

The World Government that publicly executed One Piece King Gord D Roger was only to contain and warn those pirates who were becoming more and more rampant, and to suppress their vigorous momentum. Who would have thought that all their expectations and efforts for this purpose would be wiped out by the words of Gore D Roger before his death.

Instead of being hit, the pirates' power soared into the sky in a way that was even crazier and more unstoppable than when Gord D Roger was alive.

If the previous world government, as well as the navy under its jurisdiction, still had an absolute advantage in the face of pirates on the sea, and could even hunt down a strong man like One Piece Gore D Roger, then now the curtain opened by Gore D Roger himself, the current situation has completely begun to rage.

The death of One Piece Gore D Roger means the end of an era and the beginning of an era. The former was an era when the navy suppressed and pursued pirates, while the latter was an era when the navy retreated and the pirates and the navy fought against each other.

And when the navy began to recruit the Seven Martial Seas in the future, intending to use the method of using pirates to suppress pirates, whether they wanted to admit it or not, the strength of the major pirates had climbed to the point where the navy's top brass felt a huge threat that could not be ignored or even tolerated. This is an era when even when Gord Roger was crisscrossing the sea, they were never so depressed and aggrieved.

In the face of more and more crazy pirates, what the world government and even the navy can do is to increase the collection of pirates again and again, and increase the punishment of pirates again and again. In today's tense environment, anyone who has anything to do with pirates will be the target of surveillance and even interrogation.

Trade Town, but the richest and most prosperous island town in this sea, is also the fattest piece of meat in the eyes of many pirates in this sea. The pirates who sailed for the so-called simple, positive freedom and dreams are a rare species among pirates.

Maybe the era started by the death of Gore Roger, just to wake up people like him who are just chasing freedom and dreams, but the subsequent development will not be as he wishes after all.

Of course, it is more likely that Gore Roger knew very well how the era he had started would be collapsing, and all he hoped was that among those who ran to the sea because of him, there would be some people who could carry on his legacy.

"Can I ask a question before you formally arrest me?" Tang Bai raised his hand.

"You can ask." It seems that Tang Bai, who raised his hand, is very cooperative, or it may be that Tang Bai's body that looks a little thin and wears a small black suit has no intuitive threat, and the commander-in-chief of the navy replied while signaling the soldiers to step up.

"Who's the chief here?" Tang Bai smiled kindly.

"As a pirate, don't you ask for information about this place before you come here?" The naval sergeant who was asked by Tang Bai was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Tang Bai meaningfully: "The commander here is Colonel Scott." He is a strong man comparable to the brigadier general of the branch. ”

Saying that, the naval sergeant had already decided in his heart that Tang Bai was afraid that he was a newcomer who had just become a pirate and was cheated by his partner without knowing it. Of course, he would not feel pity for Tang Bai's experience, or any other emotion such as sympathy. In his opinion, all the pirates at sea, who brought unease and threat to the world, should be caught and killed.

"Brigadier General of the Branch? That really didn't waste my 'hard work'. Tang Bai laughed brightly when he heard this.

Seeing the bright smile on Tang Bai's face, the navy man felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, and before the reminder of the word "be careful" came out, his eyes widened by the scene in front of him.

Nine Navy soldiers who had undergone rigorous training were instantly knocked out by the smiling man in front of them before they even had time to pull the trigger. As for how exactly the other party did it, the sergeant had no idea at all. All he could capture was a trance-like afterimage.

Click!

Gently land on your toes.

"It's been a long time since I've played hand-to-hand combat with anyone, but my skills haven't been loosened much." Tang Bai squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at the only navy still standing on the field. The sergeant who was targeted by Tang Bai looked at each other with Tang Bai's gaze, his body shuddered suddenly, and he subconsciously adjusted the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger.

The whole movement is extremely familiar, both from the body's instinctive reaction and from self-protection in the face of threat.

Bang!

Deafening gunshots rang out.

Tang Bai tilted his head slightly. Bullets grazed his sideburns and scurried behind him.

When a person's physical fitness, reflexes and eyesight are all high to a certain level, those firearms and other weapons that can be called killer weapons for ordinary people are as dangerous as nothing.

"Can you lead the way?" Tang Bai's palm lightly patted the trembling sergeant, "I need to visit Colonel Scott here." ”

The sergeant's body trembled suddenly, his eyes widened in shock, and he glanced at Tang Bai blankly, as if he was very surprised by his request.

Visiting Colonel Scott?

What exactly does this unknown pirate want to do?

He had never seen a sergeant in the navy who could be so crazy and overwhelmed by pirates.

Or, what's so special about the identity of the other party, and it's not a pirate?

"Isn't it easy for a pirate like me to fall into the trap?" Looking at the sergeant with a cloudy face, Tang Bai blinked, looked around the silent tavern with an understatement, and spoke in a tone of voice again, but he couldn't help but bring a threat to people: "Promise me, I will let you go of the civilians here, and what about the soldiers?"
