Sailing: This Bounce-Bounce Fruit is a little different.

"correct…"

After thinking for a moment, Huang Hai asked with some doubt, "You said Zoro did it to protect you, while Helmeppo did it to rebel. Can you tell me what exactly happened?"

"It's a pirate!"

Rika rubbed her head and recalled, "I heard my mom and the others say that around that time a group of pirates suddenly came and attacked this town..."

"Zoro happened to be passing by at the time and fought the pirates to protect us. Later, when they were almost done fighting, the Marines suddenly arrived and captured them all..."

"Then many familiar Marine uncles were locked up, Zoro never came out again, and Helmeppo was also imprisoned for some kind of resistance..."

As she spoke, Rika showed signs of tears welling up in her eyes.

Being so young, she couldn't understand why so many good people would turn out this way.

The atmosphere in the town is frightening her now; many familiar uncles and aunts have suddenly disappeared…

clap clap!

As if seeing through the little girl's thoughts, Huang Hai reached out and patted her head, saying with a smile, "You shouldn't be thinking too much at your age..."

"How about this, if you start calling me brother from now on, I'll help you rescue them all, okay?"

"really?"

Rika stared blankly at Huang Hai, then quickly shook her head and said, "No, I'd better not. Mom said it's very, very dangerous inside. Everyone who went in has never come back..."

"If you disappear, Mom will be really angry!"

"Looks like you have a good mother..."

Upon hearing this, Huang Hai smiled slightly, gently nudged the other person's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Then how about this... you go back and ask your mother first. If she agrees, then I'll go and rescue them, okay?"

"……it is good!"

As the other person gradually ran away and disappeared.

The smile on Huang Hai's face gradually disappeared. He glanced at the wall and the tower, and his eyes narrowed.

A sudden attack by pirates, Zoro's familiarity with the Navy leading to his imprisonment, his attempt to rescue others resulting in his own capture, and Helmeppo's rebellion followed by his capture...

"Tsk tsk tsk... It looks like a setup no matter how you look at it..."

"This kind of inside-outside cooperation, though seemingly clever, is full of loopholes... Colonel Morgan, whom I've never met!"

After pondering for a moment, Huang Hai shook his head, lightly touched the ground with his feet, and disappeared into the walled area with a burst of elasticity.

"No matter what, let's find Zoro first..."

Chapter Twenty-One: Bloodstained Cage!

……

Swish swish!

After leaping over the wall, Huang Hai did not linger for a moment. With his enhanced vision from [Precision], he accurately identified several surveillance points on the tower and sprinted quickly using a spring-loaded running technique.

Not long after.

When he arrived at the foot of the tower, there was no warning sound.

"The level of vigilance is even lower than I imagined..."

Seeing that there were still no signs of the navy around, Huang Hai shook his head, walked to a window on the side and observed inside for a while. He didn't see anyone, just an ordinary office space.

Using the properties of the transparent corrugated elasticity, the switch on the inside was flipped open, and Huang Hai jumped straight inside.

"It looks like the office of a clerk in the Navy, but..."

Reaching out, Huang Hai wiped his hand across the table, noticing a thick layer of dust on his fingertips. He thoughtfully observed his surroundings and carefully flipped through some documents on the table.

"It looks like no one's been here for a long time. Is it an unused room?"

"Impossible. If it's an unused room, why would they leave so many seemingly important documents here..."

"Unless something suddenly happens..."

"Forget it, I'm here to rescue people. The Navy's affairs are none of my business. I'd better look around for a blueprint of this base first, otherwise I won't even know where Zoro is being held..."

"If we can't find it, we'll just have to find some unlucky guy to lead the way..."

Thus, Huang Hai sped up his reading of the documents and began searching through drawers and other places.

Several minutes passed.

brush!

Several simplified diagrams of the naval base structure appeared before him.

There is a separate front view of the tower...

Side turret placement points...

And structural drawings of the cage located in the basement of the tower!

"Not bad luck..."

After roughly noting down the details, Huang Hai folded several blueprints and put them into his trench coat pocket. With a calm expression, he slightly opened the door. Once the faint footsteps disappeared, he slipped out and followed the location marked on the structural diagram to the cage.

blah blah blah!

For some reason, Huang Hai encountered mostly lazy-looking marines along the way, who didn't seem to have the proper physique of a navy. No... to be honest, they were more like pirates.

This further confirms one of Huang Hai's conjectures.

"But this does make things easier for me..."

After hiding effortlessly several times, Huang Hai arrived at the right corner not far from the underground prison and calmly glanced at the two marines who looked like pirates guarding the entrance.

One was fat and the other thin, both with somewhat rugged and fierce expressions, and they were holding two long flintlock pistols in their hands.

'If we try to resolve this simultaneously, the outcome will be predictable once gunfire is heard...'

Just as Huang Hai's transparent ripples condensed and compressed beneath his feet, preparing for a sudden attack.

Sudden.

ahh-

"This is so boring. What do you think the boss is thinking?"

"What's the point of having us guard these guys who are about to be executed? Why don't we just kill them already?"

"Do you think the boss would do useless things? The worst part is that those people are offering less and less tribute... The boss is making an example of them..."

"Uh... I don't understand. If you ask me, it would be better to just raid one place and move on, like before. That way, I wouldn't have to wear this navy uniform every day like this. It's really uncomfortable..."

"Shh! Do you want to die? How dare you say such things... The boss worked so hard to become a colonel, and he's helping us clear our names. You should be grateful..."

"When the boss becomes a major general or a general, and can manage the entire East China Sea, then Pele, women, power... hehehehehehehe..."

"So that's how it is... Hehehehehehehe."

As if suddenly realizing something, the two burst into laughter at the same time.

'Tsk, there are some smart people among the pirates after all…'

Confirming his earlier guess, Huang Hai turned around the corner, somewhat speechless, and walked slowly toward the two with a beaming smile.

The thought that his ideas were on the same level as this gatekeeper pirate lackey left him speechless.

I'm speechless not only about myself, but also about Morgan.

If you want to become the controller of the East China Sea Navy, you should take the most basic security measures.

As a result, even the lowest-ranking pirate soldiers have guessed the plan.

How arrogant and conceited!

Having gleaned a general idea of ​​the other person's personality from this, Huang Hai shook his head, feeling somewhat bored.

Although we don't know the extent of the other party's strength, in this respect alone, he really doesn't resemble a true tyrant.

"A guy of this caliber isn't worth me dealing with so cautiously..."

Thinking of this, Huang Hai's steps quickened involuntarily.

"who?!"

"Stop! Don't come any closer!"

At this moment, Huang Hai noticed the two men who had inexplicably appeared and immediately raised their flintlock pistols, aiming them and preparing to pull the trigger while issuing a fierce warning.

"Too slow..."

The brief two words had barely reached their ears when, in the next instant, Huang Hai, who had vanished from his spot, shot past them like a compressed spring bursting forth, grabbing their heads and slamming them heavily against the prison door behind him.

Bang!

With the speed of a spring and the added power of the [Bear Force], the two terrified heads exploded like watermelons falling to the ground.

Instantly, blood mixed with white and red substances splattered all over the ground.

brush!

He shook the blood off his hands, wiped it clean on the two men's naval uniforms, then took the keychain hanging on the wall, opened the cell door, and stepped down the dimly lit staircase, Huang Hai's tall figure gradually disappearing from sight.
