Two Realms: Hunters and Pirates

Chapter 132 Naval Operations

"Hmm, the commander's sense of security is truly reassuring!"

Hearing Zane's words, Nico Robin laughed even more heartily.

Some people only make empty promises, but others actually get things done.

Zane clearly belongs to the latter category.

Regardless of the two world government officials who were executed back then.

They still went to war with Kuzan without hesitation, just like before.

Such performance is naturally the best proof for Nico Robin, who has been persecuted by the World Government for a long time.

He stared at his own team leader across from him.

Nico Robin bit her lip and stood up from the sofa.

She no longer needed to hesitate or consider; the man before her was someone she could truly entrust her life to.

Similarly, how could she remain completely indifferent when she was under the other party's protection?

My heart is beating faster than I can control.

As a result, Nico Robin's nostrils twitched slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

The thought of what she was about to do made her beautiful eyes involuntarily well up with tears.

But these weren't the tears from before; they were a reaction to a different emotion.

He stepped forward.

Her body was also aroused by the surge of emotion, and her waist swayed downwards more than usual until she walked up to the man opposite her.

kindness?

Seeing Nico Robin suddenly stand up and walk in front of him, Zane looked at her abnormal blush and moist eyes, tilted his head, and showed a very appropriate expression of doubt on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Puzzled, Zain, feigning concern, opened his mouth to speak.

But he was cut off as soon as he started to speak.

Eyes wide open.

With Nico Robin lunging forward and wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, silencing him from saying anything more, Zane showed none of the ferocity he displayed during his previous battle with Kuzan. Instead, he appeared as delicate as a fragile little white flower.

"Hey, Robin, what's wrong?"

"N-nothing... I just forgot to breathe."

"You..."

"Don't laugh. I've only read a few books on the subject; I haven't actually done any practice. Isn't it normal to make a few mistakes?"

"Um... okay, I won't laugh anymore."

"Speaking of which, Baby-5 is still waiting for me..."

"You're not allowed to go. At least this time, you must belong to me alone."

'

Thanks to the excellent soundproofing, in the next room, Baby-5, who had just finished bathing, was biting the blanket and patiently waiting for its leader to come find it.

"That's roughly the situation. Gion's sacrifice was not due to her carelessness or the involvement of others, but because Zain himself possessed strength that surpassed Gion's."

Upon returning to Naval Headquarters, Kuzan immediately went to the Fleet Admiral's office and recounted his encounter with Zane.

In the end, he was no longer as lazy as usual; instead, he gave a particularly serious warning.

The office was not only filled with people from the Warring States period.

On the sofa to the side were Crane and Garp.

"Sengoku, how about I personally arrest this three-eyed brat named Zane?" Garp glanced at the silent Tsuru beside him and, unusually, volunteered to Sengoku.

Garp, Sengoku, and Tsuru joined the Navy at the same time and often went on missions together when they were young.

Now, all three are high-ranking officials in the Navy, and their relationship is undeniably close.

Gion is a candidate for admiral in the Navy, but she is also Tsuru's adopted sister, and the two have a deep bond.

Therefore, among the Navy personnel, the one most heartbroken by Gion's death was undoubtedly Tsuru.

Although Garp is usually carefree, he is clearly very reliable when it matters.

Sengoku rubbed his aching temples and glanced at the silent crane.

"Alright, then I'll leave the rest to you. Make sure you capture Zain and Qimoxia as soon as possible."

Even Garp volunteered, so Sengoku certainly couldn't ignore Tsuru's relationship with him.

Not to mention that with the successive falls of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the once balanced ocean has once again been thrown into turmoil.

This is precisely the time when the navy needs to exert its deterrent power.

If Garp, the naval hero, could eliminate Zane, the instigator, it would definitely have a very good deterrent effect.

"Mr. Sengoku, I'll go with Mr. Garp too!" Seeing that Sengoku had agreed to Garp's request, Kuzan immediately volunteered as well.

Garp looked at his protégé in surprise and laughed loudly, "It's been a long time since I've seen you so enthusiastic. What, do you want to experience fighting alongside your teacher again?"

"Kuzan, do you perhaps think that old man Garp is no match for that Zane?" Sengoku was also quite surprised by Kuzan's volunteering. He pondered for a moment and then asked in astonishment.

Kuzan shook his head, glanced at his still vigorous mentor, and said with a smile, "I naturally trust Mr. Garp's strength, but that Zane is a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and in terms of mobility, he is no less than Borsalino. So I thought that if we went together, we could better restrict his movements."

"Kuzan, you should stay at headquarters and keep watch. The sea has been very unstable lately, and we need your presence to maintain order." Tsuru, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

The three people present all looked over.

"While the sacrifice of that child from Gion pains me, we cannot allow my involvement to disrupt the proper plans," Tsuru sighed.

Emotions and responsibilities are often a dilemma.

Crane naturally harbored deep hatred for Zain, who had murdered her adopted sister.

But she was even more aware of the responsibilities she bore.

Sending Garp to pursue Zane was already the maximum force the Navy could muster.

If Kuzan were to go along, the navy's ability to maintain order across the entire sea would be severely weakened.

After all, there are also Borsalino and Sakazuki.

They are respectively required to defend Mary Geoise for a long time and to face the new world as the G1 branch.

As for what the crane said, the three men of the Warring States period were unclear.

The three looked at each other and finally accepted He's suggestion.

Although Zane showed great threat.

However, compared to the overall situation of the ocean, the latter is undoubtedly more important.

boom!!!

Amidst the deafening roar of cannon fire, a pirate crew in the distance was instantly blasted into pieces by the fierce explosions of the cannonballs.

"pretty!"

"Even though I've seen it several times, its power is still astonishing."

"The new ship after the renovation has such powerful firepower that it could sink a pirate crew of this size with just one shot."

"Not only is the power greater, but the accuracy has also improved significantly compared to before."

On the deck, looking at the pirate ship that had been sunk by a single cannon shot in the distance, the members of the hunting party were full of praise.
