Chapter 100: Tsuru’s Suspicion
At the Marine Headquarters.
"Tsuru, haven't you found the whereabouts of that brat?" In the Fleet Admiral's office, Sengoku directly asked Tsuru in front of him.
As for the world government, they issued strict orders to him and demanded that Obask Luke and Nico Robin be captured as soon as possible.
One is a genius who was once hailed as the strongest CP9 in eight hundred years and knows too many secrets.
The other is a survivor from Ohara, and she is most likely the only person in the world who can decipher historical text.
When the two get together, it will be too dangerous.
"No, that guy and Nico Robin seemed to have disappeared suddenly!"
Vice-Admiral Tsuru shook her head helplessly.
She frowned and speculated: "I suspect they are probably hiding in the Calm Belt!"
"Calm Belt? That would be troublesome..."
Sengoku frowned.
The Calm Belt serves as a lair for the Sea Kings.
Even if the Marine's warship is inlaid with Sea Prism Stone, which can release the same energy as the sea, avoid attracting the attention of the Sea Kings, and can enter and exit freely from the Calm Belt.
But there is still no guarantee that it will not be attacked by those Sea Kings.
Warships must be careful every time they enter or leave there.
Not to mention wanting to search for targets from there.
"Bulu~~~Bolo~~~"
At this moment, the Den Den Mushi on Sengoku's side rang suddenly.
Sengoku picked it up directly and answered the call: "What's the matter?"
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku… this is the Marine branch base from Loguetown in East Blue!"
A somewhat panicked report came from the Den Den Mushi: "Just now, the Thriller Bark, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Gecko Moria, their main ship suddenly appeared in Loguetown!"
"What did you say? Gecko Moria?"
Sengoku raised his eyebrows, and his voice suddenly became high-pitched: "Why did that guy suddenly go to East Blue?"
Vice-Admiral Tsuru, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but look over, full of surprise.
Gecko Moria is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea; why did he suddenly go to the weakest sea, East Blue?
"I remember the base commander who is currently in charge of Loguetown should be that guy, Smoker, right?" Vice-Admiral Tsuru frowned slightly.
There is no way.
Every move involving these big pirates can't be ignored.
Even if it's a warlord, who was recruited by the World Government, and the relationship with the Marines is ostensibly an ally.
But pirates are pirates.
After all, they are not the same people.
If there is a chance, it is hard to say when to directly attack or stab the other party in the face.
"I don't know. Captain Smoker has already rushed there with his people!" The correspondent reported on the other end of the phone.
"Tell Smoker not to act rashly..."
Sengoku frowned and said loudly: "Pay close attention to every move of the Netherworld Pirate and report it at any time!"
Pirates on the level of Warlord are not something that a mere East Blue Marine branch base can fight against.
Once a quarrel breaks out, the situation will not be easy to deal with.
"Yes"
"Click!"
After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku looked worried: "These unruly Warlord are really a bunch of troublesome guys. None of them are can be trusted... Why is he going to East Blue anyway?"
With the scale of a Thriller Bark, there is no need to install any Sea Prism Stone.
It can easily pass through the Calm Belt, which is the nest of the Sea Kings and is classified as a restricted area for ship navigation.
"According to the information we have received, Gecko Moria has captured many pirates and bounty hunters in the New World. It is estimated that he wants to seize their shadows and use the ability of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit to create more zombies..."
Analyzing the relevant information about the Netherworld Pirate these days, Vice-Admiral Tsuru shook her head helplessly: "It's just that now he suddenly crossed the Calm Belt and ran to the East Blue..."
"In recent days, Gecko Moria's behavior has been a bit abnormal, which is really unpredictable."
"I hope nothing troublesome will happen!"
Sengoku said with a frown.
"What if Obask Luke and Nico Robin were hiding on the Thriller Bark?" Vice-Admiral Tsuru suddenly thought of something and blurted it out.
"What?"
Hearing those words, Sengoku's expression changed.
Looking at Vice-Admiral Tsuru in shock, his face became serious: "Tsuru, are you sure about this?"
Once Obask Luke and Nico Robin really got involved with Gecko Moria, a Warlord.
That's no ordinary incident.
"It's just some guesses; I can't be sure!"
Vice-Admiral Tsuru shook her head slightly and said bluntly: "Because Gecko Moria's behavior in recent days is so abnormal. In the past, that guy always hid in the Florian Triangle and refused to come out!"
"And in terms of time, it was also after Obask Luke caused a scene in Enies Lobby and betrayed the World Government!"
"When you say that, it's indeed not impossible!"
Hearing what Vice-Admiral Tsuru said, Sengoku looked shocked.
He frowned and paced back and forth; the more he thought about it, the more likely it became.
"Garp seems to be on vacation in East Blue, right?"
However, just after Sengoku finished speaking.
Vice-Admiral Tsuru directly poured a bucket of cold water on him: "The problem is that Gecko Moria has the status Warlord of the Sea. Even we, Marine, cannot take action against him at will..."
"This is troublesome..."
Sengoku clenched his fists, feeling a little aggrieved.
Even he, the Fleet Admiral, who seems to have great power and is all-powerful, sometimes has many worries and constraints when he wants to do something.
Especially when it comes to the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
A little carelessness may affect the balance of the sea.
Vice-Admiral Tsuru breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly: "We can only leave it to the CP and let them investigate secretly!"
At this time, at the Loguetown in East Blue.
Luke transformed into the wind swordsman Yasu and boarded the port of Loguetown with Robin, Reiju, and Perona.
A team of armed Marines hurried over and blocked the front nervously.
The leader was a somewhat unruly young man with short white hair, wearing a large off-white coat with the word Justice on it and two cigars in his mouth.
"Where's Gecko Moria?"
He glanced around, but no sign of Gecko Moria was found.
Looking at Luke in front of him, he frowned and asked, "Who on earth are you?"
"This is the vice-captain of our Netherworld Pirate, Lord Wind Swordsman Yasuo..." Perona put her hands on her hips and said arrogantly: "Marine, a good dog doesn't block the way, so why don't step back!"
"How?"
Looking at the white-haired young man in front of him, Luke, who recognized the other party's identity, crossed his arms and chuckled: "I remember that in the agreement signed by our Captain Moria and the World government, there was no restriction that the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the forces under their command could not go on a sightseeing trip to an island under the rule of the world government, right?"
"Of course not, I'm just here to warn you…" Smoker looked directly at the figure in front of him and said in a deep voice: "If you dare to do anything that violates the regulations in Loguetown, I will arrest you!"
"Arrest us?"
For a while.
Luke laughed.
The next moment, all Marine's eyes blurred.
Luke's figure was like a ghost, and he instantly appeared in front of Smoker, whose pupils shrank sharply, and he was a little frozen.
Putting his right hand on his shoulder, he lowered his head next to his ear and said with an extremely arrogant smile: "I admire your courage, but it's a pity that you don't have the strength to back it up!"
