Arlong Park.
Arlong Pirates members were tied up and neatly kneeling in the yard next to the swimming pool.
Although they were all more or less injured at this time, and their hands and feet were bound by shackles, they did not humble themselves and beg for mercy. Instead, they all raised their heads and glared at the two colonels Smoker and Morgan who were standing opposite them.
The burly Morgan carried an ax stained with blood on his shoulders, and majestically stepped on Arlong, who had his hands cuffed behind his back.
Although there were several shocking wounds left on his body, he not only did not feel pain, but looked enthusiastic and slightly excited. Whenever Arlong moved, the ax on his shoulder would fall heavily and hit Arlong with the back of the axe.
It wasn't that he didn't dare to hack Arlong to death, but that they received news that Akira Marshal was about to arrive.
If it hadn't been for this news, he would have killed every one of these Fish-Man pirates in front of him without hesitation.
However, Arlong was far more powerful than he imagined. If Loguetown's Captain Smoker hadn't come to fight with him, he would probably have followed the footsteps of Colonel Stock and perished in this sea area.
Putting aside the other members of Arlong Pirates, Arlong alone could not be harmed by warship shells at all. In fact, in the face of the roaring shells, Arlong actually opened its mouth to bite it open.
It was precisely because of the power of Arlong and several cadres of Arlong Pirates members that several soldiers were seriously injured in this battle. Even as a colonel, he was bitten twice by Arlong, and almost had an arm cut off by the big saw blade in Arlong's hand.
Even if Smoker killed two cadres of Arlong Pirates and came to help, they still spent a lot of effort to suppress them and capture them alive.
"Captain Morgan!"
"The entire park has been searched!"
"No remnants were found!"
An adjutant quickly ran up to Captain Morgan and continued, "However, according to a Fish-Man pirate, they also have a partner named MooMoo, who is a Sea Cow!"
Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Morgan's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Find it, kill it, and stew it to replenish the brothers."
"Not to mention a Sea Cow, even the earthworms in this park should be dug out and crushed!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers were ordered to leave.
After a while, the soldiers brought by Morgan from 153rd Branch actually found hoes and shovels to dig all over the yard. More soldiers quickly grabbed their diving tools and jumped into the swimming pool one after another to dive to the seabed outside the park to find MooMoo.
Hearing that Morgan did not even spare the earthworms in the yard, and that the soldiers actually complied, Smoker, who was standing nearby with two cigars in his mouth, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
However, he did not say anything to stop him, but looked at the sea ahead with a serious expression.
Akira's personal visit to East Blue was unexpected for him. When he was at the headquarters, he knew that Akira was very protective of his own shortcomings, but he did not expect that Akira still maintained the same style after becoming the headquarters Marshal. He actually went to East Blue with so much effort because of the sacrifice of a colonel under his command, and he was about to arrive at this time.
This means that Akira set off from the headquarters as soon as he received the news and went straight to East Blue with full power.
Although he was once a problem child in the headquarters, he knew very well in his heart that Akira's visit to East Blue this time was definitely not just for the sacrifice of Colonel Stock, but there must be follow-up actions!
This follow-up action will not only take this opportunity to eliminate East Blue, but may also formulate some new policies within the navy.
At the same time.
After hearing the news, the villagers from Cocoyasi Village arrived one after another and gathered outside the gate of Arlong Park.
Because there were navy soldiers cleaning the battlefield, and the gate of Arlong Park was destroyed, the villagers who came outside the gate immediately saw Arlong's group being tied up and kneeling on the ground, and even saw Arlong being stepped on by Captain Morgan!
After it was confirmed again that all members of the Arlong group were arrested, the gathered villagers could no longer control their emotions. Some cried with joy, others shouted the slogan "Long Live the Navy", and many more slumped to the ground in relief.
Ever since the Arlong group entered Cocoyasi Village, they have lived in fear every day, especially when the Arlong group collected protection fees. Even though they had prepared the money to buy their lives, they were still on tenterhooks, fearing that the Arlong group would suddenly shoot and kill them for no reason.
Gen and Nojiko, who were standing at the front of the villagers, were not excited because they did not see any familiar figures.
"Gen, I... I didn't see Nami!"
After carefully searching around the Arlong group, and confirming that there was no Nami, Nojiko suddenly became a little anxious. After saying this, she ignored the obstruction of the naval soldiers standing in front of the gate, got directly between the two of them into the park, and then shouted anxiously at the top of her voice, "Nami, Nami..."
"Hey, little girl!"
Two soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield reacted in time and rushed over to stop Nojiko, "You can't come in!"
"I'm looking for my sister!"
Nojiko choked with sobs and said loudly, "My sister was captured here by Arlong's gang. Woohoo, Lord Navy, can you help me find her?"
At this moment, Tashigi came over.
After signaling the two soldiers to step back, she took a step forward and came to Nojiko.
"Wait, wait--"
Without waiting for Tashigi to ask Nojiko what was going on, Gen rushed through the obstruction of the two soldiers, rolled and crawled to Tashigi, and said anxiously, "Master Navy, Nojiko is not sensible, I hope you..."
As if he knew what Gen wanted to express, Tashigi spoke up in time, "Don't worry, we are the righteous navy. If your relatives are really arrested by Arlong's gang, the navy will definitely help! Of course, I also know that the naval colonel in this jurisdiction once brought you harm, but that is all in the past. The naval colonel who colluded with Arlong's gang has been executed!"
After a slight pause, Tashigi changed the topic and asked Nojiko: "Are you sure your sister is in this park? We just searched it and found no human beings other than Fish-Man!"
"I'm sure!"
Nojiko nodded fiercely, "Nami told me that she lives there!"
After saying that, Nojiko raised his hand and pointed to the top of the tall building in the courtyard!
"Let's go, I'll take you to find it!"
Tashigi did not hesitate, turned around and prepared to take Nojiko to search again.
However.
Tashigi just turned around and saw Morgan across from her and all the navy from 153rd Branch stopped what they were doing, straightened their bodies and raised their hands in salute in the direction of the sea.
Even Smoker subconsciously stood up straight at this time and stared solemnly at the sudden appearance of several large warships on the sea.
Following the gazes of Morgan and Smoker, Tashigi suddenly widened his eyes unprepared and shouted in a panic:
"Lord Marshal is here!"
"Everyone has it!"
"Salute!"
Before he finished speaking, Tashigi immediately straightened his body and turned to face the sea at the same time as other naval soldiers from Loguetown base.

More to come!
