One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

Croobi's eyes were bloodshot. He knew that if he didn't do something, not only his comrades but also he would die at the hands of the Navy.

The number of marines is dozens of times that of them!

Pain, exhaustion, fear

Various negative effects were eroding him.

"escape!"

Abandoning their companions and running away!

There's only one way left: if we return to Arlong's Paradise and send the message back, Captain Arlong will surely lead his crew to kill all these marines!

"Get out of my way, human!"

Croobi roared in fury, unleashing its strongest attack!

"Thousand-Layer Tile Fist!"

"boom!"

More than a dozen marines were blasted away by the shockwave generated by the punch!

A gap has appeared in the encirclement!

Croob crossed his arms to protect his vitals, letting the blades slash at him, and charged towards the gap without regard for anything else, his small eyes fixed on the azure coastline ahead.

As long as we get there!

"Hey, where are you going!"

Just as he was about to break through the encirclement, a man with his hands in his pockets appeared in front of him, his fluttering cloak of justice extremely eye-catching.

He's the enemy's boss!

Croobbi's pupils contracted, and before he could react, the man's shoe print was embedded in his face!

"Oh!"

With a powerful kick, Croobi was sent flying backward, his face mangled beyond recognition. After tumbling violently on the ground more than a dozen times, he returned to the center of the Navy's encirclement.

All efforts have been in vain!

The next moment, more than a dozen marines rushed up again, plunging their blades into his limbs and pinning him to the ground!

"Take them away!"

"Yes!"

The warships quickly sailed into the sea.

Evening, Alon Park.

The companions who had received offerings returned one after another, leaving only Kroobi's group missing. This unusual situation made Arlong uneasy.

"Xiao Ba, go to Zha Zha Village!"

"I'll be back soon."

Ten minutes later, Hachi returned to Arlong Park with a terrified expression: "Something terrible has happened! Crooby has been captured by the Marines!"

"navy?!"

Ah Long paused for a moment, and the image of Colonel Rat subconsciously flashed through his mind, but he quickly dismissed the thought.

That greedy human would never do such a thing, much less have the audacity to harm his own people!

"Which navy are they from?!"

Ah Long's face was contorted with rage.

How dare this lowly race abduct his fellow citizens?

Absolutely unforgivable!

Even if it's the Navy, he'll kill every single one of the guys who kidnapped Croobi. He wants humanity to know the tragic consequences of resisting him!

"Contact the rat immediately!"

"Okay, I know, I'll twist!"

16th Branch.

"what?!"

"Someone has kidnapped a member of the Arlong Pirates?"

"Which idiot did this?!"

Upon receiving the news, Colonel Rat's eyes turned red with anxiety; the Arlong Pirates were his cash cow!

The adjutant was terrified: "Colonel Rat, Ah Long said that if the murderer isn't found, he'll make the 16th branch disappear completely!"

"Damn it, what does this have to do with us!"

The mouse was filled with uncontrollable terror.

Although they looked down on those filthy, foul-smelling, lowly fishmen, the terrifying power they possessed was undeniable.

If the murderer cannot be found, Ah Long will really destroy the 16th branch!

"Quickly, investigate immediately!"

"Yes!"

The rat was sweating profusely with anxiety, and even considered running away with his possessions. However, to his surprise, his subordinates actually found a clue.

"The navy of Loguetown!"

According to the investigation by his subordinates, the warships from Rogge Town had appeared near Cocosia Village, and they are most likely the culprits.

"Major Rat, we only have half a day. The warships from Loguetown haven't gone far. We should be able to make contact!"

"What are you waiting for? Tell them to release the people!"

"Yes, I'll contact them right away!"

Every naval warship is equipped with a high-performance Den Den Mushi (snail phone), which can not only contact the branch remotely, but also receive radio waves emitted by Den Den Mushi in nearby waters, and even conduct eavesdropping.

"Bru bru~~"

The signal from the Sixteenth Branch was quickly transmitted to the warship Loya was on.

"finally come!"

Loya's gaze was icy as he answered the Den Den Mushi.

"This is the Loguetown warship. I am Major Loya of the Loguetown branch!"

"Major Loya, we are from the 16th Branch of the East Blue. We recently received intelligence that you have captured a member of the Arlong Pirates. Is this true?"

"Yes."

Loya responded coldly.

After a brief silence, the officer from the 16th Branch said in a deep voice, "Major Loya, Chacha Village is under the jurisdiction of the 16th Branch. Your capture of pirates in Chacha Village is an overstepping of boundaries and seriously interferes with our 16th Branch's operation plan to capture the Arlong Pirates. Please immediately hand over the members of the Arlong Pirates to our 16th Branch for processing!"

Well-reasoned, well-founded, and irrefutable!

Loya almost laughed out of anger.

"The Arlong Pirates have been entrenched in Cocoyasi Village for years, and you bunch of good-for-nothings have done nothing, you're not even as good as dogs, yet you have the nerve to tell us how to do things?!"

"Tell your base commander that this arrest operation was ordered by Brigadier General Murak, the highest-ranking officer in Rogge Town. Don't you dare interfere with the general's orders!"

"Furthermore, the Arlong Pirates members we captured will be executed tomorrow evening at the execution plaza in Loguetown!"

"If you want them, then come to Loguetown and collect their corpses!"

"have you understood?!"

"Kachcha—"

The Den Den Mushi hung up.

Colonel Rat's face twitched, and he slammed the table in fury: "Damn Murak, how dare he underestimate me like this!"

"Tell Ah Long the news immediately!"

"I want them all to die!"

Chapter 65 Murak, come out and face your death!

As night fell, a torrential downpour began.

The most prestigious entertainment venue in Loguetown.

Inside the luxurious private room, Murak was embracing two female singers, his face flushed from drinking. On the sofa opposite him, Lieutenant Colonel Gordon was also drunk, embracing two female singers.

"Hiccup... Brigadier General Murak, I have investigated the matter thoroughly. It is indeed Major Loya who committed serious misconduct!"

"When I return to headquarters this time, I will definitely make it clear to the higher-ups the seriousness of the situation. No matter what abilities that Loya has, he has to go back to the rural branch!"

"No one can save him, I'm telling you!"

Gordon patted his chest proudly and assured him.
