Brown Cow Tavern, behind the bar.

A dazzling wine cabinet suddenly appeared with a rectangular door emitting a faint blue light, and Bruno walked out of it with an ugly face.

The guests in the tavern had long since fled for refuge, and there were only four or five waiters left in the empty tavern, and two young and beautiful bartenders.

These are Bruno's subordinates, ordinary members of the external network, and in front of them, Bruno has no need to hide his ability.

"Boss, what are we going to do now?"

A bartender who had just finished bandaging Chopper's wound looked up and asked worriedly, "Do you need to gather the people on the island and start a rescue operation?" ”

"It's useless."

Bruno didn't even think about it, he shook his head, "With our strength, even if we all gather together, we are not the opponent of those monsters at all, and it is even more impossible to rescue Lord Xano's younger brother." ”

Thinking back to the elusive Lafitte just now, Bruno had palpitations.

Obviously, after getting the Devil Fruit, that Blackbeard Titch not only increased his own strength significantly, but also had a group of subordinates with quite terrifying strength.

An opponent of this level is no longer something that they can deal with as a small stronghold on the Internet.

"If you want to contact someone on the intranet, this matter must be reported as soon as possible and let Lord Xia no know."

After thinking for a moment, Bruno's eyes flashed, and he commanded in a low voice:

"I'm responsible for this matter, you stay here first, take care of this little civet cat, and when it wakes up, notify me as soon as possible."

"Yes, Boss!"

……………

Totland Sea, Isle of the Winds.

Under the sunset, Xia Nuo sat cross-legged on the top of the cliff, facing the blowing sea breeze, quietly looking at a tarot card in his hand.

Everywhere you look, there is a blurred chaos, only in the upper right corner, you can see a half full moon hanging high, and the clear light is shining below.

"What does it portend......

He muttered to himself.

This was one of the three tarot cards that Hawkins handed him in the first half of the Great Voyage, the first two of which had already been fulfilled in Alabastan, but this one he had not guessed the meaning until now.

"Looks like we'll have to wait until later."

Xia Nuo raised his head slightly, his gaze falling beyond the horizon in the distance, his gaze as calm as water.

At the moment, he has a lot of things to do, Robin's research on the historical text has made initial progress, and under Daz's personal action, the dark web's intelligence preparation for Ghost Island has basically been completed.

As soon as Xano gave the order, the huge war machine could start to work, ready to launch an offensive against the Hundred Beast Pirates.

This is a war that has been prepared for two years.

Two years ago, his strength was already above the Hundred Beast Kaido, but because Kaido contracted his territory and strengthened his defense, he did not take the initiative to attack.

And now, after two years of development, the gap between the Storm Fleet and the Hundred Beast Pirates is enough to wipe out Kaido's home advantage, and the grievances between the two royal groups will eventually come to an end.

"Brubru ......"

Just as Xia Nuo's thoughts were surging, a slight vibration suddenly came from his arms.

"Huh?"

Xia no frowned and took out a pocket-sized white phone bug from his arms.

Although this phone bug is small, it is currently the world's most advanced anti-eavesdropping phone bug, and there are very few people who know his number, and it is basically only used to contact the top cadres of the dark web.

The phone is connected.

From the other end of the microphone, Monet's voice came, and when he heard her report clearly, Xia Nuo's pupils shrank slightly, revealing a little consternation:

"What did you say?"

…………

Two hours later, on the second floor of the castle, the council hall.

In the night, Luo strode into the hall with a leopard-print black and white velvet hat on his head, stepping on the moonlight in the corridor.

Looking around, he found that the wide conference table was almost full, and almost more than half of the high-level cadres of the entire Tempest Fleet who remained in the waters of Totland came.

The main seat was still empty, and while Xia Nuo had not yet arrived, people were whispering something to each other, and the atmosphere in the hall was quite heavy and tense.

"This way."

Cavendish in the northeast corner beckoned to him, and pulled out the empty chair beside him, and Law was not polite, came here, sat down, and asked in a low voice:

"What the hell is going on? It's so late, why did Lord Xia Nuo suddenly convene an emergency meeting, could it be that he was going to start a war with the Hundred Beast Pirates in advance? ”

"It's not."

Cavendish shook his head, and also lowered his voice a little: "I didn't know the situation as much as you, and I just arrived here, so I heard some news, it seems that something happened to Lord Xiano's younger brother Sanji, and the pirate group he belonged to was defeated by Blackbeard Teach, and his life and death are currently unknown." ”

"What?"

Luo's face changed, and he was full of astonishment, "The pirate who defected from the Whitebeard Pirates? How could he have bumped into Sanji so coincidentally? ”

"It's not a coincidence, it's intentional."

Cavendish had a solemn face: "According to the information from the dark web, that guy is bent on becoming the Seven Martial Seas, and plans to hunt pirates with a bounty of more than 100 million yuan and hand them over to the Navy Headquarters as a vote." ”

"And Sanji, because he just teamed up with Luffy, the straw hat boy, to defeat the thunder god Anilu, one of the Seven Martial Seas, last month, and the reward for King Kong has increased to more than 100 million, so he has become the target of hunting."

"I see."

Luo was stunned at first, and then frowned, "Then what about the people of Shanzhi now, is it in the hands of Blackbeard, or has it been handed over to the navy by that guy?" ”

"It's not clear yet."

Cavendish shook his head slightly: "However, the dark web has already organized forces to follow up the investigation, and when the meeting starts, there should be the latest developments." ”

As they were talking, the sound of low footsteps suddenly sounded from behind, and a tall figure in a black cloak appeared quietly in the conference hall.

The noisy chatter suddenly subsided, and everyone quickly stopped talking and got up from their chairs.

"Captain!"

"Lord Xano!"

"Your Excellency!"

…………

Facing countless focused eyes, Xia Nuo bowed slightly, and after coming to the main seat, he stretched out his right hand and pressed it down, and said calmly:

"Sit down."

"Yes."

The cadres responded in unison, but no one dared to sit down first, but waited until Xia Nuo sat down first, and then sat back in their seats.

"It's a big night, and you should know the reason why I called everyone over."

Xia Nuo looked around the conference table and paused, before he said in a deep voice: "My only younger brother in this world, Sanji, was captured by Blackbeard Tiki this morning on the island of Mancher in the first half of the Great Voyage. ”

"And the Straw Hat Pirates he is in, except for the ship's doctor Tony Tony Chopper, who was rescued by the extranet cadres present, the rest of the crew members also became prisoners."
