One Piece: The Half-Blood Ninja Who Hides on the Straw Hat Ship

Chapter 599 Smoker

Although he didn't know what had happened to Bellamy, Luffy didn't intend to ask any more questions since the other party had said so.

"I understand." Luffy nodded seriously and said, "We'll go with you."

"cut..

'

Bellamy spat, saying that she had already said she was following him, not that she was leaving with him.

However, he's too lazy to argue with Luffy about such things now, since his health isn't really good right now.

Then, Bellamy stood up, turned around, and walked towards the back corridor.

"I'm leaving!"

"Let's follow!" Luffy quickly said.

After saying that, he quickly chased after them, while west Yan patted Bartolomeo on the shoulder and said, "The Diamond Fruit is now in your hands."

"Don't...don't worry!"

Bartolomeo, who was incredibly excited after being patted on the shoulder by west Yan, said with tears in his eyes, "I will definitely get the Diamond Fruit with Senior Sabo."

Xi Yan smiled, then turned and chased after Luffy.

"The guy in sunglasses patted me on the shoulder..." Bartolomeo said, choking back tears. "Does that mean he acknowledges me?!"

Very good!

Then, Bartolomeo revealed an incredibly determined look in his eyes.

In order not to disappoint Luffy and Sunglasses, he must obtain the Diamond Fruit!

Oh hoo!

After laughing loudly, Bartolomeo turned and left.

Meanwhile, west Yan quickly followed Bellamy to a wall.

"This is...

""

Watching Bellamy push open the wall and walk in, Luffy was dumbfounded and asked, "Why can this wall be pushed open?"

"It's a mechanism," west Yan said.

Since a door cannot be placed in the open, it makes perfect sense to put a hidden door in the wall.

Luffy nodded as if he understood, then followed Bellamy inside, and soon arrived at the exit of the Corrida Colosseum.

"I'm leaving," Bellamy said in a low voice.

Without waiting for Luffy's reply, he left on his own.

He looked like a lone wolf licking his wounds in the shadows.

"What's wrong with him?" Luffy asked, puzzled.

For some reason, he felt that Bellamy was very depressed at this moment, as if... he had suffered a great blow.

Is it because they lost this match?

"Who knows?"

west Yan shrugged, clearly not particularly concerned about Bellamy's situation.

Seeing that west Yan had already said that, Luffy didn't continue the topic.

He then turned and rushed toward the exit, saying, "Let's go, let's get to the palace quickly."

"Wait a moment."

west Yan grabbed Luffy, then turned to look at Perona who had flown back and asked, "What's the situation outside?"

""

Upon hearing this, Luffy stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Perona.

"Unfortunately, the exit is currently packed with navy personnel," Perona said. "If you just go straight out like this, you'll run right into their faces."

Although with Xiyan and Luffy's strength, they don't need to worry about those small-time Marines outside, the problem is... once they start fighting the Marines here, it will attract the Marines' high-level combat power.

Then it won't be easy for the two of them to cause trouble for Doflamingo again.

"What should we do then?" Luffy frowned. "I still need to go beat up Doflamingo."

After saying that, Luffy thought for a moment, then said seriously, "How about we fight our way out?"

"What are you talking about?"

west Yan said irritably, "Why fight such a meaningless battle when you can just escape?"

Isn't this just pure recklessness?

Luffy was taken aback. Is that so?

Perona looked at Xiyan with some surprise. Could this madman who dared to single-handedly storm into Mary Geoise say such a thing?

"What are you planning to do?"

"Come with me."

west Yan glanced around and, seeing that no one was there, walked to a corner and took out the sealing scroll.

Then, using a sealing technique, they took out the two sets of dolls stored inside.

"This is...

'

"A doll set, huh?" west Yan grinned. "I thought about this when I came in, so I bought a few doll sets in advance."

"How is it? Not bad, right?"

As he spoke, west Yan shook the doll in his hand, revealing its appearance.

One is a frog, and the other is a cat.

"Choose one."

"I want this one," Luffy said, pointing to the frog.

As he spoke, he picked up the frog and tried his best to put it on, but after a lot of effort, he still couldn't get the clothes on, leaving Xi Yan speechless.

"Why don't you just unzip the back of your pants, you idiot!"

"oh...

"7

Luffy wasn't angry after being scolded. He just smiled and opened the zipper, successfully slipping himself inside.

Seeing this, west Yan shook his head and put on his own clothes.

Then, he turned to look at Perona and asked, "What's the situation with Zoro?"

He had specifically asked Perona to tell Zoro about the high-ranking swordsman in the palace, and he wondered where that guy was now.

"He got excited immediately after hearing what you said," Perona said helplessly. "Then he had Melly bring him to us."

I wonder if the swordsman in the royal palace will be able to satisfy Zoro.

As for Zoro being defeated?

Perona never thought of this from the beginning.

For her, there is no swordsman in this world who can defeat Zoro!

As for Hawkeye?

Hmph, Zoro will defeat that guy sooner or later!

"Okay, then let's go out first..."

""

Before west Yan could finish speaking, Luffy dashed towards the exit, shouting, "Follow me, Doflamingo!"

"Hello!"

west Yan stared blankly at Luffy. Did this guy even know what he was doing?

The area is full of navy personnel, what are you shouting for here?

"You'd better hurry and catch up," Perona said, looking equally troubled. "Otherwise, who knows what he might do."

"You're right."

west Yan nodded in agreement and then quickly chased after Luffy, soon catching up with the shouting guy.

"You idiot, shut up!" west Yan punched Luffy and said, "Don't forget where we are!"

"oh...

""

"Alright, enough talk, let's go."

"profound!"

Luffy nodded, then quickly followed Xiyan and ran towards the distant street, soon disappearing from the Navy's sight.

Perona, on the other hand, flew to the Navy's blind spot as soon as she came out, so that her presence would not be exposed.

"Um?"

The vice admiral, watching the two leave, paused for a moment, then said with some surprise, "They actually have toys like this here?"

Doll?

It was quite a surprise to him, but the dolls looked rather interesting.

After shaking his head, the vice admiral turned to his subordinates and asked, "Have any of the people on the list come forward?"

"no."

The adjutant shook his head and said, "So far, we haven't seen any targets appear."

"but....

'

At this point, the adjutant paused, then said in a very puzzled tone, "For some reason, there are many unfamiliar names on the list."

"An unfamiliar name?"

The vice admiral paused for a moment, then said with displeasure, "How could there be unfamiliar names on the list?"

They worked very hard to gather intelligence in order to catch those notorious guys, and even sacrificed some of their comrades in the process.

How could such a mistake possibly occur under these circumstances?

"But there are some unfamiliar names." The adjutant held up the list in front of the vice admiral and said, "Look, Lao Cai, Abu, Green Pepper, Ideo..."

The adjutant read out one name after another, which surprised the vice admiral.

"These names... seem quite unfamiliar."

For some reason, he didn't recognize any of these names, but this was clearly unreasonable.

After all, this time they were...

Just then, a navy officer ran over and said in a serious tone, "Report!"

"speak."

"Lieutenant General Smoker has arrived."

"ha?"

The vice admiral put down the list in his hand, looked at his subordinate with a surprised expression, and said, "Who did you say?"

"Our top general candidate, Lieutenant General Smoker!"

At this point, the navy officer even showed a look of admiration on his face.

Smoker clearly holds considerable prestige within the Navy.

However, the vice admiral wasn't jealous, after all, on this vast ocean, the strong should be treated this way.

But now there's a question: why is Lieutenant General Smoker here?

Shouldn't he have followed Admiral Fujitora's orders and gone to another island to capture Fire Fist Ace?

Has something gone wrong?

Although he didn't know what was going on, the vice admiral still stood up and asked, "Where is he?"

"I've arrived."

At the same time the sound arrived, a cloud of smoke appeared in front of the vice admiral, which then gradually condensed into a human shape, resembling Smoker.

"Lieutenant General Smoker!"

"Um."

After nodding to the navy officers, Smoker turned to the vice admiral and asked, "What's the situation now?"

"The situation is rather complicated."

"More complicated?"

Smoker paused slightly as he reached for his cigarette, then looked at his colleague with a questioning gaze, intending to ask for an explanation.

"See for yourself."

As they spoke, the vice admiral handed the list to Smoker, gesturing for him to take a look.

Seeing this, Smoker didn't waste any words, took the book and looked at it, then looked at the other person with a puzzled expression again and said, "What does this mean?"

He recognized the Straw Hat Boy and the Sunglasses Man on the list, but he didn't know much about the others.

The vice admiral was taken aback. Although the people on the list were not as famous as the Four Emperors, there were still some formidable individuals among them.

Lieutenant General Smoker doesn't recognize any of them?

However, since the other party has said so, he has no choice but to offer an explanation.

"This is the list of people we're here to capture at the arena," the vice admiral explained. "What's puzzling is that quite a few unfamiliar names have suddenly appeared on it."

For example, this...

"9

The vice admiral pointed out the unfamiliar names to Smoker, then continued, "Normally, this shouldn't be the case."

After speaking, the vice admiral paused for a moment, then said in an uncertain tone, "So... I suspect there's a problem with the intelligence team."

"There's a possibility that there might be problems with the intelligence team, but..." Smoker said in a deep voice, "Don't forget the importance of this matter!"

"Therefore, the probability of the intelligence team making such a basic mistake is very small."

This matter involves Doflamingo, and they even dispatched a Marine Admiral and his successor for it!

In this situation, the probability of such a basic mistake occurring is extremely low.

"What's going on here?" the vice admiral asked, frowning.

It can't be that the problem is on his end, can it?

Thinking of this, the vice admiral glanced at his adjutant.

Upon seeing this, the adjutant immediately understood what his superior meant, so he shook his head to indicate that the problem did not originate on their side.

The list has been with him ever since he got it, so there's absolutely no problem with it.

The vice admiral, who understood what the other party meant, was even more confused. If it wasn't them, then what was going on?

"Perhaps the problem lies with Dressrosa."

Smoker turned and glanced at the bullring behind him, then said in a low voice, "There might be something here."

Paramecia-type Devil Fruit abilities are incredibly diverse, and among them may be abilities that can alter perception.

According to the intelligence he obtained, Doflamingo is someone who likes to collect Devil Fruits for his subordinates, so Smoker suspects that there may be a special Devil Fruit user in the Donquixote Family.

"You mean... Doflamingo?"

"More or less."

Although he didn't know what the other party had done, Smoker's intuition told him that the problem lay with Doflamingo.

The vice admiral gave a thoughtful look. If the problem really came from Doflamingo's side, it would be difficult to handle.

"Where are the Straw Hats?" Smoker asked. "Have they come out?"

'

"no."

The vice admiral, regaining his senses, shook his head and said, "We haven't seen Straw Hat Boy and Sunglasses Man come out; they should still be inside the bullring."

After all, Straw Hat Boy is the champion of Zone C, so it's normal for him to stay in the Bullfighting Arena.

Smoker frowned subconsciously upon hearing this. They haven't come out yet?

That guy isn't really planning to stay here and fight until the very end, is he?

Did he really think Doflamingo would willingly hand over the Diamond Fruit to him?

He really is a stubborn idiot.

However, since the other party has not left yet, there is no need for him to leave.

With that in mind, Smoker walked to a nearby rock and sat down, intending to wait for Luffy and the others to come out before making any decisions.

The vice admiral blinked upon seeing this. Was this... they weren't leaving?

"What are you doing...?"

"

"My purpose in coming here is to arrest the Straw Hat Pirates."
