Some of the milk in her hand spilled and splashed onto the man's shiny leather boots.

"Hey, don't you look ahead to see if anyone's walking?"

A slightly annoyed voice rang out, and the milk was snatched from her hand.

Mia looked up and saw a brand-new marine uniform.

"What are you looking at? This is the uniform I just got!"

"I'm so... I'm sorry, I'll clean it for you."

Mia wiped away her tears as she looked at the milk jug held by the navy, and mustered her courage:

"Could you give it back to me? This is very important milk."

She thought for a moment, then hurriedly added hesitantly:

"I...I don't have any money..."

Before the marine could say anything more, a black cat wearing a navy hat and a navy coat suddenly darted out.

Mia looked at the cat in surprise, only to find that the black cat was also looking at her.

"Meow!"

She didn't notice that when the black cat appeared, the marines suddenly became tense, even somewhat respectful.

How can I not be nervous?

As a newly recruited marine, he had witnessed how many people this cat, bearing the rank of naval lieutenant commander, had taken down each morning.

With its ghostly speed and sharp claws, no one could withstand it for more than three seconds.

Even the most notorious bandits on Jaya Island had their legs severed by a single claw from this black cat.

Li Xia heard the black charcoal's call and walked over from not far away. She looked at Milk and then at Mia.

"Iron Hand Suk?"

Mia trembled with fear, and that reaction said it all.

Li Xia's gaze fell on her thin body due to malnutrition, and on her clothes covered in patches.

He fell into an unusual silence, then beckoned, and the Marine, who had been trembling with fear, immediately handed the milk to Li Xia.

"I'll buy this can of milk. I'm sorry, your mother is dead, and the murderer, Suk, has been apprehended."

He will receive his due punishment in three days.

The marines who had been watching silently had never known that humans could be so heartbroken, and for the first time, they knew that when grief reaches its extreme, there are no tears.

He looked at Mia, who seemed to have her soul ripped out, and even began to worry that this frail girl would collapse to the ground and never get up again.

Several minutes passed before the girl, who seemed lifeless and like a puppet, finally opened her mouth and whispered:

"Thank you for informing me of this. May I ask... what kind of punishment that person will receive?"

“The death penalty shall be carried out publicly.”

"Th...thank you."

Tears streamed down Mia's face like a waterfall. She crouched on the ground, her sobs, though suppressed, seemed to possess a power that pierced the heart.

Even the marines who were secretly watching nearby lowered their heads and sighed deeply.

His gaze toward the captured prisoners took on an even fiercer edge.

Li Xia didn't say anything more, he just patted the kitten. Hunting cats were born to protect.

They must work with their partners to hunt monsters and protect the lives of ordinary people from disturbance.

Purely from a moral standpoint, the kitten was the kindest of the three.

"I'll leave it to you to handle. Ask her if she'd be willing to become a marine; at least she can get enough to eat here."

Li Xia turned and left. Of the more than 100,000 people on the entire island of Jaya, the proportion of criminals was ridiculously high, numbering in the thousands.

These are all contribution points, and once they've all been dealt with, he can leave for a while to make some moves.

Black Charcoal nodded.

Marines?

With tears streaming down her face, Mia looked up at Li Xia, who had already left, and at her coat billowing in the wind like a flag.

"willing!"

..............

A large mansion has been adorned with the flag of the Navy's G188 branch.

This was a newly built mansion of a gang leader, who was arrested by Blackie and his men just a few days after moving in.

Upon seeing this, Li Xia simply used it as a branch office.

The newly recruited marines are training enthusiastically according to the Tokyo University Army Training Guidelines that Aowu and Kurotan somehow got their hands on.

However, Aowu and Heitan overlooked the fact that the physical abilities of ordinary people in this world are far superior to those of humans in reality.

These training sessions were actually quite easy for them.

Li Xia sat in the study, in a huge, expensive armchair bought from out of town; it was very comfortable.

Tina was still wearing that burgundy suit, with her cape casually draped over the sofa.

She had only planned to stay for one day before returning, but she hadn't expected the number of criminals on the entire Jaya Island to be so outrageous.

It's no wonder it's a lawless area; with the help of the tavern owner and several other information brokers, they managed to arrest almost every criminal worth capturing.

They simply ignored those petty thieves.

Even so, there were still more than three thousand criminals, far exceeding the carrying capacity of Tina's medium-sized ship.

With no other option, Tina contacted a fleet of ships and brought in several large passenger ships, which barely managed to accommodate so many prisoners.

"Tina is going back. There are a lot of prisoners this time, and Lieutenant General Tsuru specifically asked Tina about it."

Tina rested one hand on the sofa, her beautiful big eyes looking at Li Xia. She felt as if she was getting to know this not-so-remarkable colleague for the first time.

Li Xia put down the list in her hand and asked with great interest:

"Lieutenant General Tsuru? What do you mean?"

"Lieutenant General Tsuru is very satisfied, especially since you submitted a lot of evidence."

Tina was diligently working on her recovery. She had a very good relationship with Vice Admiral Tsuru, or rather, most of the female naval personnel were naturally part of Tsuru's faction.

For example, Momousagi, a candidate for general, is a very close friend of Tsuru.

"That's good. I was worried that Lieutenant General Tsuru would be unhappy with my big move."

"Why would anyone be dissatisfied? Their crimes are a fact."

Tina stood up, put on her navy coat, the pure white coat paired with her burgundy suit, and her pretty face and icy demeanor.

She is exceptionally charming.

“Tina is leaving. These people will all be sent to the Kingdom of the Bridge to work until they atone for their sins.”

Kingdom on the Bridge?

Li Xia's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained expressionless. She simply stood up naturally as well.

"I'll see you off."

Watching Tina's fleet, much larger than the one that had arrived, depart into the distance, her subordinate, who had just been promoted to naval branch lieutenant commander, asked in a low voice:

"Colonel Tina transported 3126 people, leaving 579 serious offenders..."

Li Xia slowly raised one hand and gently waved it down, as if brushing away a piece of annoying dust.

The sound mingled with the gentle sea breeze, carrying a chilling, blood-red aura.

"Cut them all down!"

Chapter Five: The Revolutionary Army!

Soon, the entire island of Jaya was plunged into great shock.

They originally thought that the newly arrived commander of the G188 branch had already amassed enough wealth to enjoy himself after arresting more than 3,000 people.

Before long, he will be like the Navy before him, bribed with money by these scumbags and become one of them.

After all, this wasn't the first time such an incident had occurred, and each time it plunged the residents who were eagerly awaiting the arrival of the navy into greater disappointment, and even despair.

Therefore, these residents no longer trust the navy at all.

Until these naval officers posted notices that those scum who had escaped punishment countless times would be executed en masse!

All of them shall be executed!

At first, the residents still didn't believe it, but as the marines began to build the platform, slight loosening began to appear.

Maybe... this time it's for real?

Perhaps... this time, the navy that came is truly worthy of the justice they uphold?

Gradually, the entire island fell into a kind of pre-storm oppressive atmosphere, as if something was gathering within it.

And it grew increasingly intense, like a raging fire.

That was a longing for light.

In this atmosphere, Li Xia had already quietly left Jaya Island.

The conspicuous naval uniform had been put away, and he had changed into casual clothes. He was flying at high speed above the clouds towards the distance.

The gravity in the world of One Piece is very low, so people here are all quite tall, and even flying techniques require less effort.

Most importantly, for some reason, this world has no air power!

They all rely on their individual skills to fly.

Li Xia would occasionally stop to check the direction; the permanent pointer was trembling slightly, pointing downwards.

This world doesn't have very advanced navigation technology; it can only rely on the island's own magnetism to record coordinates.

The permanent pointer in Li Xia's hand points to the Kingdom on the Bridge!

That is, the final destination of the thousands of prisoners that Tina transported.

Seven hundred years ago, the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles, suddenly issued an order to build a bridge connecting the entire East Blue.

So the World Government sent people and criminals from countries that refused to join it to the World Government, enslaving them and forcing them to work hard building bridges every day.

They worked themselves to death on the construction site; this place was even more terrifying than Impel Down.

"Boss, have we arrived?"

Suddenly, a message appeared in the team channel, changing from voice to text due to the increased distance.

"not yet."

Li Xia casually shattered the clouds and looked down through the hole. The Red Earth Continent looked like a huge scar running through the entire ocean.

Clearly, he hasn't even reached the Red Earth yet.

"So far? Isn't it said that the world of One Piece is much smaller than Earth?"

Awoo was taken aback. It remembered that the researchers had argued that the world of One Piece was only 1/64th the size of Earth.

"...They used the speed of ancient sailing ships to calculate the equatorial circumference...How can we accept this?"

Let's not even talk about how the sailboats in One Piece are completely different from the sailboats in the world of Earth.

The low gravity environment here alone makes the ship run much faster than on Earth.

"Okay, the news bird delivered the newspaper today, which carried news about Alabasta."

It is said that Marine Headquarters Captain Smoker uncovered the plot of Shichibukai Crocodile and saved the Alabasta Kingdom.
