One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 47 Colonel Mouse
Under the gaze of everyone, the warship slowly sailed into the dock.

A three-meter-wide sloop was lowered, and two teams of marines lined up along the edge with guns in hand, their expressions solemn. A red carpet extended from the top of the sloop directly to the shore.

Then a figure wearing a long white windbreaker walked slowly down the boat.

He has a long face, a goatee, and his eyes are narrowed into slits.

"Tsk, such a grand gesture." Nami curled her lips. "I was really looking forward to it, but in the end, this wretched guy came down. It's obvious he's not a good person."

"Shh, Nami!"

Nuo Qigao quickly covered her mouth and said, "That guy is a big shot. Don't talk nonsense. It will cause trouble for Brother Shanuo!"

"Ok?"

The mouse squinted and looked over, but couldn't hear clearly what the two little girls were saying. However, it happened to step on the edge of the red carpet, which looked very troublesome.

He waved his hand lazily, and the two marines behind him looked at each other, then stepped forward helplessly and tried to push Nami and Nokiko away.

But before they could touch them, a strong arm reached out and blocked the two Marines' way.

"16th branch of the navy?"

Xia Nuo gently pushed the two marines aside and looked up at the rat above him. "Colonel, what brings you here so suddenly?"

"How dare you! Do we, the navy, need to inform you civilians in advance of anything we do?"

The mouse snorted coldly.

"Let me ask you, I heard that the Konomi Islands were attacked by the Arlong Pirates, and the last place they appeared was Cocoyasi Village. That's why I brought my subordinates here to capture these pirates. You are a villager of this village, right? Do you know where those fishmen went?"

"do not know."

Shanuo shook his head.

"I don't know?" Mouse said with a forced smile, "How about you think about it again?"

What he said before was, of course, a lie.

More than half a month ago, Lao Shu received information that Arlong, the fishman who once belonged to the Sun Pirates and had a bounty of 20 million berries, had entered the waters under the jurisdiction of the 16th branch with a large number of subordinates.

How could I afford to offend him?

The mouse was terrified, fearing that the other party would come to cause trouble for him, so he called his superior who had promoted him and asked for advice.

The attitude of his superiors was very ambiguous, and they were hinting at him to turn a blind eye, both explicitly and implicitly.

He was also specifically reminded that Arlong and his gang had a close relationship with the current Seven Warlords of the Sea, Jinbe.

The legal right of plunder granted to the Seven Warlords by the World Government may also apply to Arlong.

The mouse suddenly realized it, and for more than half a month, he had been pretending to be deaf and dumb, and ignored the emergency calls for help that the base kept receiving.

Until a few days ago, I suddenly heard a rumor that the Arlong Pirates had been killed in the Konomi Islands.

He was surprised and delighted, and hurried out of the base.

at the moment.

Seeing that Xia Nuo didn't seem to want to cooperate, Lao Shu clicked his tongue and waved his hand to signal his men to drive away the rest of the strangers who had gathered from a distance out of curiosity.

Then he stared at the obviously foolish and gullible young man in front of him and said with a grin:
"Forget it, let me be frank. I just received intelligence that those murlocs have died on this island. Have you ever seen their bodies?"

He held up two fingers and said, "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate honestly, I can give you this amount as a reward for supporting the naval operation."

"Two million Baileys?" Shanuo raised his eyebrows.

This guy is too stingy. He wants to embezzle the bounty of more than 80 million Baileys, but is only willing to give up this little?
"It's 20,000 Baileys!"

The mouse said unhappily, "You seem to be quite greedy despite being young. You really dare to think so. Do you know that for accomplishing such a big thing, the bonus given to me by the higher-ups is only a few hundred thousand at most!" Xia Nuo sneered in his heart. No one would believe that a guy like you would mobilize so many troops for such a small amount of bonus.

Most likely it was done in private. They had already found someone to claim the bounty and then divide the profits afterwards.

He was too lazy to waste time with this guy and wanted to leave, but he was worried that this guy would come into the village and harass and threaten the villagers, so he simply said:
"I killed him."

"Huh?" The mouse was stunned and didn't react for a moment. "What did you say?"

"I killed all sixty-seven members of the Dragon Pirates, from the top to the bottom." Xia Nuo said calmly, turning around and shouting, "Man Scar!"

"Here, boss!" The voice of a burly man came from the boat.

"Put out all those heads one by one for the Rat Colonel to see."

"Yes, boss!"

Soon, the fishmen's heads were lined up on the side of the ship.

In order to prevent them from rotting and stinking, they were sealed with ice. Looking through the ice, each one looked lifelike, and many of them had their mouths open and eyes wide open, with expressions of fear written all over their faces.

I don’t know what he experienced in his life, but he still has such an expression after death.

"This, this..." The mouse was dumbfounded, "It really is..."

"Colonel," a lieutenant stepped forward. "Do you want me to take someone up there to examine it?"

"No need!" The mouse immediately reached out to interrupt.

He had already drooled over the wanted posters of these fishmen. They were very familiar to him and there was no way he was wrong!
This is the Arlong Pirates. All the bounties are here.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."

The mouse laughed heartily, and his attitude suddenly became enthusiastic. He immediately tried to put his arm around Xia Nuo's shoulders.

"You're such a hero! You've wiped out all those powerful pirates by yourself. I was wondering why you were all waiting on the shore. Are you going out to sea to collect the bounty?"

"Yes, I have already contacted the 77th branch and am about to go over there." Xia Nuo dodged the arm that was stretched out by the mouse with a slight shake.

Branch 77?

The mouse widened his eyes, hurried closer, and said in a low voice:

"My dear, you may not know the ins and outs. Even those famous pirate hunters would have a hard time collecting the entire bounty, let alone a commoner like you. Don't believe what the 77th Branch says. Once we get to the scene, they'll be lucky if they can give you 30% of the bounty."

Shanuo looked at him quietly.

"If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, just fart."

The mouse's smile froze slightly, but soon returned to normal. He coughed and said with a smile:

"Don't be impatient. What I mean is, since you've come all this way, why not just hand over all those pirates' heads to me? Since we're so destined for each other, I can make an exception and give you a very nice share. How about it, you get half and I get half?"

"..."

Shanuo shook his head, too lazy to pay attention, turned around and walked towards the boat, "Nojigo, Nami, let's go."

"Oh! Here they come!" The two little guys were so fascinated by the show that they woke up in shock and hurriedly followed.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, an angry roar came from behind. It was Mouse who was so angry that he pulled out a gun and pointed it at the backs of the three people: "Lawless... Who allowed you to leave!"

Xia Nuo turned his head and saw the pitch-black muzzle of the gun, his eyes narrowed slightly.
