Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

As she was speaking, Nami suddenly stopped and looked inside with a puzzled expression, as if she sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.

She blinked in confusion, looked at Xia Che with an upright expression, then at Robin with slightly flushed cheeks, and asked in a suspicious tone, "What... were you doing in there?"

"The BOSS..."

"Not yet! Cough cough cough!" Xia Che interrupted Robin, who was about to say something, looked at Nami in front of him, coughed twice, and said with a righteous expression, "By the way, what did you just say? The Marine Admiral, what happened to that guy again?"

"Something feels off, it's really strange! Oh well, you're up already!" Hearing Xia Che's words, Nami pouted and muttered a couple of times, then looked at Xia Che, seemingly remembering why she had come in, and said, "Oh, right, that Marine Admiral..."

only.

The words are not finished yet.

Behind.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from Nami's side.

"Yo~" Kuzan stood next to Nami, acting all familiar, waving his hand and saying in a lazy voice, "I'm back again! Also~"

As he spoke, he stepped aside, revealing a figure behind him. "I also brought your partner. No need to thank me! If you really want to thank me, well, there's nothing I can do about it."

The words fell.

Shache also looked at the figure behind Kuzan.

"???"

Why is this guy here?

It was a girl wrapped in a thick blanket, with a runny nose and disheveled blue hair. Upon seeing him, she exclaimed excitedly, "Colonel Shacher, I've finally met you!"

Chapter 34 Report

Upon seeing the 16th Marine Division Captain, Princess Vivi was so moved that tears almost streamed down her face.

Do you know what she went through yesterday?

They had barely reached the shore when they encountered a terrible cold snap.

Before she and the fast-running duck could react, a cold front arrived, the previously warm temperature plummeted, and heavy snow began to fall.

When they wanted to find a hotel to rest, they realized that they hadn't brought any money with them on this mission because they were too excited, so they rushed to the East China Sea.

Finally, due to the sudden change in cold weather, she was so cold that she could only hug the running duck tightly.

As they walked, they searched for a kind place that could take them in, or a corner where they could temporarily escape the cold.

But the result was unexpected...

The people on this island are very wary. After hearing that she was not a native of the Konom Islands, they locked the door and refused to open it for her.

Even the seemingly luxurious Red Romance Hotel she finally found was closed.

They even said that at this time, the Konom Islands do not accept outsiders, especially someone like her who has just landed and hasn't had time to go to the Ministry of Public Security to apply for... the Konom Islands entry and exit permit.

I heard that in an emergency, a permit to enter or leave the Konom Islands is required.

Normally, you don't need to, but if you need to stay here for an extended period, you will.

however.

She doesn't know where to go to apply for the service, and she doesn't even know where to go to apply.

Finally, we could only find a corner where the wind could block out the wind and rest with the fast-running duck in our arms.

As a result, it snowed heavily all night long.

She and the running duck were so cold that they were both frozen stiff, just as she was about to see her mother.

Its daybreak!

Then a very lazy-looking guy also came to the Red Romance and spotted them.

Upon hearing that they were looking for the 16th Branch Colonel, the man's eyes narrowed immediately, and he indicated that he was very familiar with the 16th Branch Colonel and could bring them over.

then.

And that's how it turned out.

Runaway Duck was sent to rest, and she, led by that guy, came here.

The naval colonel from the 16th branch was a bit lazy; it was almost noon before he finally got up, and he even brought a beautiful woman with him when he came out of the room.

What a degenerate naval captain!

Princess Vivi looked at Colonel Xia Che in front of her and realized that this guy was the East Sea Fallen Colonel who was rumored to have met with the president of Baroque Works and cooperated with him.

Remembering her mission and her plan, she dared not delay and quickly bowed. "Colonel Shacher, I am an intern at the Baroque Works. I am here on the orders of the director to seek Colonel Shacher's help!"

The words fell.

Before the president and partner opposite could say anything, the guy who brought her there... Kuzan, who was already lounging lazily on the sofa, whistled and said in a languid tone, "Baroque Works! I think I've heard of it. A very famous secret crime company on the Grand Line."

"..."

Hearing that meaningful look and languid voice, Xia Che sighed helplessly. Before Vivi could say anything more, he turned to Kuzan and said with a serious expression, "I want to report! Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, has violated the World Government's regulations for managing the Seven Warlords of the Sea by attacking the Alabasta Kingdom, a member state, without authorization!"

He did have a collaboration with Baroque Works, but that was only a few years ago when he asked Baroque Works to buy seastone for him on the New World black market.

As for Crocodile... I'm not familiar with him!

I only met him a few years ago when I was on my way to the Grand Line to look for business and stopped in Alabasta to enjoy the scenery. After seeing his strength and his identity as a Marine, I wanted to cooperate with him, but he, a righteous Marine, sternly refused.

In fact, Baroque Works had collected quite a bit of Seastone for him over the years. However, he had been taking the goods without paying. Crocodile, in order to win him over, didn't say much and simply let him buy on credit.

They originally planned to renege on their debts after Crocodile's downfall and then make a huge profit.

And now... how did this guy end up coming to our door?

Could they be here to collect a debt?

Therefore, after thinking it over, Xia Che had no choice but to close the net now!

Although he felt that given his influence in Crocodile, he should be able to get more credit, he could only regretfully give up now.

"According to intelligence obtained by the 16th Marine Division, the mysterious president of Baroque Works is none other than Crocodile, the hero of the Alabasta Kingdom and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. However, this guy has betrayed the World Government's trust and is infiltrating the Alabasta Kingdom, intending to incite internal strife and thus achieve his goal of usurping the Alabasta Kingdom!"

The voice just fell.

"..."

The room fell silent.

Kuzan, who had been expecting to see Shache make a fool of himself, suddenly turned pale. He didn't believe the guy's nonsense at all.

It has nothing to do with Baroque Works?

Do not make jokes!

This guy even kept pirates under his wing and tricked the East Blue pirates. I reckon the East Blue pirates won't recover for a few years.

Therefore, it's not surprising that they're cooperating with a criminal organization from the Grand Line.

But to everyone's surprise... this guy betrayed his partner without hesitation?!

Kuzan began to doubt whether this guy was reliable or not, and whether it was the right thing to entrust Nico Robin to him.

Meanwhile, Vivi, standing to the side...

"!!!"

I was completely dumbfounded.

What's happening here?

Did the mysterious president's partner betray them directly?

Oh, no!

The mysterious company president is none other than Crocodile, the hero of the Alabasta Kingdom?!

And his goal was still to usurp the Kingdom of Alabasta?

Princess Vivi suddenly realized that she had achieved her goal of infiltrating Baroque Works and had even obtained deeper information. However, this information came so suddenly that she was caught off guard and couldn't react.

And what about the Seven Warlords of the Sea...? What will Alabasta do then?

She blinked, staring blankly at her partner from Baroque Works, her mouth agape, unsure of what to say.

At this time.

Seemingly sensing Weiwei's dilemma, Xia Che smiled calmly, giving this brave, strong, and responsible princess a composed smile.

then.

Shache pointed righteously at Kuzan, who was still lying on the sofa, and said, "This is a Marine Admiral, a righteous Marine Admiral who hates evil and is always willing to help others. I'm not really that familiar with Crocodile, but of course, if you need any help, you can ask him!"

The words fell.

really.

Upon hearing Xia Che's words, Princess Vivi's eyes widened for a moment, and then, upon hearing the words "Naval Admiral," her face immediately lit up with excitement.

As the princess of a major power on the Grand Line, she was certainly aware of the significance of a naval admiral.

I never expected to be so lucky as to meet a naval admiral here!

After thanking Shache, he turned to look at the bewildered Kuzan and said, "Admiral, please, you must save Alabasta!"

"???"

No, didn't you come here to see this guy?

Why did you come looking for me?

And isn't this girl an intern at Baroque Works?

Why do we still need to save Alabasta?

Kuzan scratched his head, looking troubled. He had a feeling this was going to be a mess, and he was supposed to be here to see this kid make a fool of himself!

He opened his mouth, about to say something.

"This is the princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta, and the sole heir to the kingdom!" Shache looked at Kuzan with schadenfreude. Seeing the surprised and curious looks around him, especially Princess Vivi's incredulous gaze, he quickly coughed and mumbled, "I have special intelligence sources."

As he spoke, he sat down on the soft sofa, picked up the steaming hot black tea that Robin had poured for him, and leisurely sipped his tea. Looking at Kuzan, he smiled and said, "Admiral Kuzan, I believe you wouldn't want to see a member state of the World Government usurped by a pirate, would you?"
