Chapter 67: The Thief

"Where are you from?" Keane said as he put the letter away.

"Once, when one of my subordinates was protecting, he infiltrated the Locke family, and he stumbled upon this letter, and there is this thing inside, with these two things, the world government will not allow the Locke family to exist. And according to my intelligence, the Locke family has been buying devil fruits in the Great Passage all these years, and they have secretly cultivated countless abilities, and their strength is unfathomable. Avar said in a deep voice.

"I once learned from a gang of pirates that you can buy Devil Fruits as long as you have money, could it be that you buy them from the Locke family?" Keane asked.

Avar nodded: "That's right, most of the Devil Fruits in the East China Sea come from the Locke Family, and it is not easy to buy Devil Fruits from them, and my people have been investigating for three years before they know that those who buy Devil Fruits from them will be tied up in the Locke Family and serve them for the rest of their lives." ”

"How is it possible, those people can't leave the Locke family after getting the Devil Fruit?" Keane wondered.

"They seem to have a medicine that can control these strong people, they give them that medicine and devil fruits together, and then use that medicine to continue to control those strong people, so that they can serve them for the rest of their lives." Avar told very bad news.

Keane had already deduced the general situation of the Locke family from the words in Avar's mouth, and he could control people's medicine, and Keane couldn't think of anything else that could control a person except for the forbidden drug.

After talking to Avar, Keane was about to go back to the warship, when suddenly he saw a dark figure passing by, and Keane quietly followed.

A man in a night suit crept up to the traveler's quarters, she was a deft and apparent habitual offender, and she tapped two iron pins on the door lock, and the door was opened.

"These guys are really rich, hehe." There was a small laugh coming from inside the room.

"You're not a little daring." Keane leaned against the doorway and laughed.

"Who?" The thief was startled, then turned his head to see Keane.

The thief was frightened when she saw Keane, but she quickly calmed down, and a red object appeared in her hand and threw it on the ground.

When Kean saw this, he thought that the thief was going to use ninjutsu and threw a smoke bomb.

Indeed, this red thing was a smoke bomb, and when it hit the ground, a large cloud of red smoke immediately appeared, and Keane took a puff, and a spicy taste rushed to his head.

"Chili bombs." Keane quickly covered his nose, but his eyes and nose were hit, and there was a burning sensation in his throat, and his eyes were spicy and weeping.

He felt a gust of wind pass by him, and Keane reached out to grab it.

"Yikes!"

Keane heard a scream.

"Smack!" A slap slammed into Keane's face, and the thief burst out the door.

"It's really unlucky."

Keane exited the room, and when the smell cleared, his body would basically recover, but it was really uncomfortable to choke on chili.

"Forget it, go back to the warship first." Keane shook his head.

However, he took two steps, only to find that his hands seemed to be empty, Keane's face changed drastically, and a murderous aura burst out from his body.

It didn't take long for the naval soldiers on the warship to be pulled onto the merchant ship by Keane.

"Lieutenant Keane, what are you?" Avar was stunned for a moment when he saw Keane coming to the ship with a large group of people, and asked Keane.

"Mr. Avar, excuse me, I lost something on the ship, I need to find it, please let everyone cooperate."

Keane's eyes gestured to Avar, and Avar saw Keane's eyes and knew that the matter was very big, so he didn't dare to slack off, and gathered the entire ship in the hall where the banquet was held.

The people who had already begun to disperse were invited back by Avar again, and all of them had confused faces on their faces, and a few smart people also saw that the matter was not trivial, because the soldiers of the navy had surrounded them all.

In a corner of the merchant ship, a black figure hid inside, she glanced around warily, and then looked down with a smug smile.

After adjusting her posture, she placed a black box in front of her and carefully opened it.

"I knew that the lieutenant was not a good man, he definitely didn't want to take the money in front of everyone, and this should be the treasure that Avar bribed him, and it's all mine."

When the box was opened, there was only a bottle and a letter inside, she was stunned for a moment, opened the letter, and looked at it with the help of the faint light, and when she saw half of it, her first feeling was that something was wrong, as if she had come into contact with something unusual.

"What to do, this, this thing seems to be very important, miserable, now, damn it, why am I going to steal his things, wouldn't it be good to escape."

"Calm down, calm down, this thing is important to the Navy, but if they find out, they will definitely kill me."

The thief suddenly became a masterless, she knew that she had a big deal, the navy would not let go of what was in her hands, and now that she was on the sea, it was impossible for her to escape.

At the same time, Keane walked up to the stage in the hall and said to everyone: "I'm sorry to disturb you again, because I have a thing that was stolen by thieves on the ship, so I hope you can cooperate, this thing is very important, I hope you can cooperate well, otherwise it will ......"

When Keane said the last sentence, he showed a terrifying murderous aura, although he had experienced very few battles, but the murderous aura on his body was not weak, when he released the murderous aura, the entire hall was calmed, and even a few young girls were so frightened that tears fell.

"Mr. Avar, are all the people on the ship here?" Keane asked Avar.

"There were three people missing, one was Mr. Simon in room seventy-eight, and Mr. Saima did not come today because he had a heart attack, and the other was the first mate, who was at the helm, and it was his duty time. The other was the maid who had come with Mr. Hall, and she was no longer here. Avar said.

"How could I bring a maid up, are you mistaken, my family is only a family of four, how can there be a maid?" A middle-aged man stood up and said.

"Check, find that person." Keane immediately said to Avar.

"I'm sorry, this ship may be in danger right now, so please stay here just in case." Keane then spoke to the people in the hall.

Soon the navy, led by Avar's men, began to inspect merchant ships, conducting carpet searches without sparing any corners.
