Some small merchant ships, however, were unwilling to pay and left on their own.
Ronglin activated his Observation Haki amid the crowd, sensing everything across a vast stretch of sea. On the outskirts of the distant harbor, squads lay in ambush, fully armed and ready. Those small merchant ships that had left would probably run into Dressrosa's ambush before long, wouldn't they?
