The world of One Piece is a world full of contradictions. There are both fairy tale adventures and the Shura scene that is unfolding in front of Tsukuni Enichi and the others.
For the powerful and powerful, this world is like a dream, and all the good things you can imagine can be found in this world.
Endless wealth? Awesome power? A life surrounded by beautiful women? All of this is open to the strong.
But behind this dream world, what most ordinary people can taste is often pain.
Under the instructions of Enichi Jiguo, Cyrus, a local returning home, jumped off the ship, found a young man dressed as a guard who was sitting on the ground and rested, and asked about what happened here.
"My friend, may I ask, what happened here?"
Since last night, the guard's nerves have been in a state of high tension. After all, it is still unknown whether the pirates really retreated at that time. The guards who were sent to the port by King Riku to appease the people have always been tense. I am deeply afraid that the pirates will suddenly leave and come back.
After all, this kind of thing has happened before.
So when Cyrus came to him and asked about last night's situation, the guard was sitting on the ground, his hands weakly placed on his knees, his head buried deep in the middle of his legs, blocking the sun.
Hearing Cyrus's question, the young guard quickly raised his head and looked at Cyrus nervously. When he saw that Cyrus was actually wearing a navy uniform, the guard looked startled. , couldn't help but whisper:
"Nai Hai Hai Hai Hai Hai Hai?!!"
The appearance of the navy really surprised the guards.
This is Dressrosa, located in the central area of the New World. People living here probably rarely see the navy more than a few times a year. In this day and age, the navy does not have the spare capacity to send too much force to the new world.
If you want to establish a branch in the New World, you need absolutely strong combat power. However, nowadays, the high-end combat power of the Navy Headquarters is quite scarce. The only combat forces that were left were dispatched to the four seas to stabilize the navy's foundation.
The moment he saw the navy, the nervous look on the young guard's face quickly disappeared. Then he remembered the question Cyrus had just asked him, and quickly answered:
"Pirate!"
"Pirates landed from this port yesterday and looted Dressrosa."
"These are all made by pirates!"
When the guard said this, his tone was full of hatred for the pirates.
"Is he really a pirate?"
"What kind of pirate group is it? How many people are there?"
"Are many people suffering in Dressrosa? Was the palace attacked? Were any prisoners captured?"
Cyrus did not show any surprise when he heard that the tragedy at the port was caused by pirates. Before getting off the boat, he had already made some assumptions in his mind.
This time it just proved his guess.
But after hearing that it was pirates who attacked Dressrosa, Cyrus also asked again and again. He desperately wanted to know the information about the pirates, but he asked Jiguoyuan to set sail to search for traces of the pirates.
After all, Dressrosa is the hometown of Cyrus, although this hometown does not bring many good memories to Cyrus.
But his hometown is his hometown after all, and he absolutely cannot watch the people in his hometown suffer without caring.
To put it bluntly, he is also a navy. As a navy, he absolutely cannot turn a blind eye to pirates.
"No, I don't know."
"That group of pirates left just as quickly as they came. By the time we received the call from King Riku and gathered and rushed to the dock, the pirates had already disappeared."
"As for the suffering of the people."
"I'm not very clear, but from here on the dock to the edge of the city, nearby residents have been persecuted to varying degrees."
The rank of the guard is not high, so what he knows is limited, and the information he can answer to Cyrus is also quite limited.
However, when he heard the guard say that from the dock to the edge of the city, nearby residents were being persecuted to varying degrees, Cyrus' expression changed slightly.
"so much?!"
Although he had not personally counted them, when Cyrus heard this, he was able to roughly judge the number of people who suffered.
The port of Dressrosa is quite far from the city. This group of pirates was able to break through to the edge of the city, which shows the strength of these pirates.
This is Dressrosa with tens of thousands of troops stationed here, not a town like Orange Town with few police officers.
To be able to do this kind of thing in Dressrosa, this group of pirates is considered quite powerful. Afterwards, Cyrus asked for some more information, then hurriedly returned to the warship and reported the matter to Jiguoyuanyi.
"It's really tricky!"
"There is actually no useful information about this group of pirates. In this case, even if we want to hunt them down, we won't be able to find them!"
"Lieutenant General, what should we do?!"
Koushiro and the others also listened to the information that Cyrus had found out with Yui Yi. After hearing these messages, Koushiro couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly.
Facing the pirates who came and went without a trace, even if Tsukoku Enichi and his troops had enough terrifying power, there was nothing they could do.
This sea is really too big, and the navy's intelligence sources in the New World waters are also very scarce. Navigating the New World again relies on record pointers.
Going out to sea to find a pirate group with no news is actually no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
"."
"There is no way, manpower is sometimes poor, we must realize our own insignificance."
After listening to Cyrus's report, Ji Guanyuan had already begun to think about countermeasures, thinking about any good way to find this group of pirates and annihilate them.
But after thinking for a long time, Yuanyi could only shake his head and sigh.
It would be great if this world had global satellites
Yuanyi couldn't help but think of this.
"hateful!"
When Cyrus heard this, he couldn't help but cursed, full of anger. His anger was not vented against Ji Kuni Enichi, he just hated the pirates for being abominable, and hated his own incompetence for not being able to help the people resist this disaster in time.
The other people on the deck also fell silent after hearing Yuanyi's words.
Yuanyi stood on the deck, tapping the railing lightly with one hand, frowning.
In order to exercise justice in the new world, in addition to strength, you also need powerful intelligence. The G-ICE branch on Shuixianxing Island has been established so far. Finding pirates depends on luck, or waiting for pirates to come to you.
"Um?!"
Thinking of this, Yuanyi's brows widened, he patted Cyrus, who was somewhat depressed, and said:
"Cyrus, I can understand your mood, although it is impossible for us to take the initiative to go to the sea to try our luck and find pirates."
"But... we can wait for the pirates to come to us!"
"You just said that the pirates only invaded the edge of the city and did not advance any further? Moreover, the army here did not capture prisoners or kill any of the pirates?"
"In this case, I think this group of pirates may loot Dressrosa again."
"Wealthy, there is no threat to these pirates. Moreover, the first robbery was not able to advance to the center of the city."
"There is such a fat sheep waiting to be discovered. If I were a pirate, I would definitely come here a second time!"
