One Piece: New Century Hextech Warriors

Late at night, in a small kingdom in the East China Sea.

A bar was lit up with red and green lights, illuminating its eye-catching sign—

[Big Bird Spinning Bar]

The bar was bustling with noise, and the charming proprietress stood behind the bar, smiling as she mixed drinks for the customers.

At that moment, an unfamiliar voice came:

"Boss lady, could I have a drink, please? I'd like the Kamabakka Kingdom flavor."

The proprietress suddenly stopped, looked up and saw the boy standing in front of her.

The lower half of the other person's face was hidden in the collar of a black coat, but the slightly exposed upper half still revealed that they were quite good-looking.

"So handsome!"

The cigarette she was holding in her mouth couldn't help but fall out.

The young man swiftly reached out and caught the cigarette that almost fell into her wine glass, chuckling softly:

"Ladies, you should smoke less."

With a hiss, he casually stubbed out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can.

"Huh? Oh! Okay!"

Realizing her lapse in composure, the proprietress quickly regained her composure, blinked, and smiled:

"The wine from the Kingdom of Makka Pakka is very precious. I usually keep it in a private room. Please follow me."

She swayed her slender waist as she led the way, and the boy followed.

The surrounding guests were silent for a few seconds, feeling a sour taste in their mouths.

"Tch, that brat's looks are just average, what's with all the showing off!"

An older man scoffed and didn't speak.

On the other side, the proprietress went deeper into the bar, opened the door to a private room that had been soundproofed, smiled at the boy, and turned to leave.

"Hehe! See, Bear, I told you Sith Boy would come!"

Ivankov, dressed in a low-cut top and black stockings, jumped out and was about to give Sith a loving hug when Sith narrowly dodged him.

"Hello, Eva and Big Bear."

Sith greeted the two politely.

After settling matters with the 13th branch, he contacted them using the phone number Ivankov had left behind and arranged to meet here.

The bar owner was a member of the Revolutionary Army, so she was perfectly safe. As soon as Sith asked for a drink from the Kingdom of Makka Pakka, she immediately understood.

"Hehe, we've heard about what the Sith Boy did in Branch 13, well done!"

Ivankov jumped up excitedly; if Sith hadn't dodged quickly, he would have loved to give him a big kiss.

This is the highest recognition from the Queen of Transgender People!

The bear jumped up from the sofa, its giant-like body closing in on Sith.

"Mr. Sith, do you really know where Ginny is being held?!"

He gripped Sith's shoulders tightly with excitement, his massive body trembling slightly.

Kuma didn't have much hope, after all, it was too unbelievable that a rising star of the Navy would take the initiative to help the Revolutionary Army.

I didn't expect Sith to actually bring intelligence!

"Hey, hey bear, calm down! Don't scare Sith Boy!"

Ivankov, standing nearby, offered a helpless reminder.

"Oh yes, sorry!"

Big Bear quickly let go, then gripped the bearskin hat tightly with both hands, like a schoolchild who had done something wrong.

Sith chuckled nonchalantly, not bothering to keep anyone in suspense:

"According to the intelligence I have, Ginny is likely being held in the abandoned capital of the Kingdom of Tar, and will soon be sent to the Holy Land along with Tian Shang Jin from the East Sea."

He relayed the information Mason had given them.

Upon hearing this, Big Bear's face turned pale instantly.

They had assumed Ginny would be imprisoned in Impel Down, but instead she was sent to Mary Geoise.

If Ginny is locked up in a place like that, their hope of rescuing her is very slim!

Ivankov was much calmer, stroking his chin and chuckling:

"The Kingdom of Tar, huh? That's a very interesting place."

Sith took a sip of his cocktail and asked curiously:

"Is there anything special about that place?"

He also wanted to hear how the once-powerful Kingdom of Tar suddenly perished.

Ivankov smiled dismissively:

"Haha, it's nothing really, just a common scene on this vast sea."

"Back then, the Kingdom of Tar was very wealthy. The nobles in the capital liked to build tall towers to show off their wealth. However, they thought they were very powerful and preferred to spend their money on building towers rather than handing over the Celestial Gold, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Celestial Dragons."

Ivankov narrated the story vividly, occasionally adding gestures.

"Later, a Celestial Dragon came to the East Blue for tourism and casually remarked that these towers would be good as warehouses. So the World Government quickly took action, expelling all the nobles living in the towers and using them as temporary warehouses for the Celestial Dragons in the East Blue. Little did they expect that they would be used to store Celestial Gold now."

"As for those nobles who flaunted their wealth, they were either killed along with the king or became slaves, and that's how the Kingdom of Tar came to an end."

Sith suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

No wonder the World Government claims that the Kingdom of Tar was destroyed by pirates, yet it hasn't issued a warrant for the arrest of the culprits.

Similar stories are indeed not uncommon. "A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure." These countries that were targeted by the Celestial Dragons were doomed from the very beginning.

Ivankov opened his arms wide and shouted excitedly:

"In that case, it seems we have no choice but to attack the location where the Heavenly Gold is stored!"

Sith wasn't the only one eyeing the gold in the sky.

Big Bear frowned deeply, his face full of struggle.

"But...but wouldn't that be too dangerous?"

The location where the Heavenly Gold is stored is definitely heavily guarded. Right now, he and Ivankov don't have many people at their disposal, and Ginny could be sent to Mary Geoise at any time. There's no time to wait for reinforcements from Dorrag.

A hasty attack would result in heavy casualties!

Big Bear was certainly willing to risk his life to save Ginny, but he couldn't bring himself to ask his other companions to go on the same adventure.

Sith guessed his thoughts and said slowly:

"Oh, and I also heard that a Celestial Dragon has taken a liking to Ginny and wants to marry her."

"Tsk, being a plaything of the Celestial Dragons is worse than being dead."

He wanted to deliberately provoke the bear.

This bear was good in every way, except for its indecisive nature, which led to a series of tragedies later on.

Sith simply told him that if he couldn't make up his mind to save Ginny, the fate that awaited Ginny would be extremely cruel!

Besides, he wouldn't allow Big Bear to back down, since he couldn't possibly snatch the Heavenly Gold by himself.

As expected, both Big Bear and Ivankov were greatly alarmed.

"What?!"

The two shouted in unison.

Big Bear felt an itch in his throat and almost coughed up blood in his anxiety!

Sith spread his hands:

"So you need to make a decision: either watch your companions suffer a fate worse than death, or take a gamble."

"By the way, you are not fighting alone."

He pointed to himself and grinned:

"I can also assist you in your actions."

His words startled the two of them again, and Big Bear quickly asked:

"Siss, you're a Marine! Aren't you afraid of being wanted?"

Big Bear's first thought was still to consider others.

He originally thought that Sith was helping them simply because he couldn't stand the evil things in the slave trade and was just providing some information. He never expected that Sith would help them to this extent.

Ivankov laughed heartily:

"Hehe! Sith Boy, why don't you just join us!"

Sith shook his head.

"Let's forget about that. I have my own plans, and you don't need to worry about me being exposed. I have my own ways."

He didn't want to make Decision 2.0, which would involve taking his talents to the Revolutionary Army.

The revolutionary army is too poor now; they can't compare to how well he makes money in the navy.

Ivankov had anticipated this response and didn't try to dissuade him further, continuing:

"Since Sith Boy has said so, you must already have a plan. Tell me about it!"

Sith glanced at the night sky outside the window, a mad smile creeping onto his face.

"The plan is simple."

"Since we have detailed intelligence from Mason, knowing its location and weaknesses, why not launch a surprise attack tonight!"

After Ginny was captured, the East China Sea Navy had already raised its alert level, and the longer it dragged on, the lower the success rate would be.

More importantly, the one standing here is a clone created by Sith using the "Newcomer to the Party" ability; he only has 12 hours to steal the Heavenly Gold.

Using clones is extremely energy-consuming. By the time Sith recovers enough to create new clones, Ginny will probably be pregnant.

The bear opened its mouth wide:

"tonight?!"

This is insane!

Ivankov's expression turned unusually serious, and he asked in a deep voice:

"Siss, are you really confident you can go and save people like this?"

He did not doubt the Sith's intentions; if the Sith wanted to harm them, they could have done so within the 13th Division.

But based on the strength that the Sith has shown so far, even with him and Kuma, it would still be too difficult for them to succeed.

Sith smiled faintly:

Only the brave can get what they want, whatever it may be.

Since he did this, he must have been confident of victory.

Big Bear couldn't help but look at Ivankov, waiting for him to make a decision.

Ivankov bit his thumb hard, his mind racing, beads of sweat trickling down his forehead.

"good!"
