As Gion relayed the Marshal command from Akira, East Blue major Marine Base responded immediately.
Morgan was not idle either. After being bandaged by Lord Marshal himself, he was full of energy and did not want to stay in Cocoyasi Village for a moment. He immediately led the 153rd Branch soldiers to set sail and returned to the waters under 153rd Branch's jurisdiction. He took the lead in executing the Marshal order and launched a blanket search in the waters under his jurisdiction.
As the highest officer of Loguetown, Smoker was no exception. He was more interested in catching pirates than fighting for power and profit. He obeyed the order of Marshal, issued the order to kill the pirates, and personally led the warship out of Cocoyasi Village.
Soon, East Blue major Marine Branch also issued pirate pursuit orders one after another, and one branch warship after another sailed out of the port where their respective bases were located, sailing toward the sea in a mighty manner.
Cocoyasi Village.
The villagers left Arlong Park one after another after receiving part of the life-saving money they had paid to Arlong's group, because after hearing Akira Marshal say "be with them", they all held their heads high and walked with wind.
Especially Gen, his mood can be described as turbulent.
Not only did he get back part of the treasure Beli that was stolen by Arlong's gang, but what made him feel uneasy for a long time was that Bellemere was actually posthumously named a naval hero. The home that Bellemere left for Nami and Nojiko was also labeled as the home of naval heroes.
This also means that no matter who they are in the future, as long as Nami and Nojiko do not do anything against justice, they will be protected by the navy throughout their lives.
Gen, who left Arlong Park with Nami and Nojiko, did not go home, but immediately came to the grave of Bellemere.
"Bellemere!"
As soon as he arrived at the tomb, Gen couldn't restrain his excitement. He knelt down in front of the tombstone and said with tears in his eyes, "I'll tell you some good news. Arlong and his gang have been killed!"
"All this is because... the navy you once served in has an amazing Lord Marshal!"
"Not only did he personally visit East Blue and kill Arlong's gang, he also ordered you to be named a naval hero. From now on, both Nami and Nojiko will receive special care from the navy!"
Having said this, Gen looked up at the tomb in front of him and the portrait of Bellemere carved on the tombstone, and said softly, "You... can rest in peace!"
Akira did not leave Arlong Park. After the villagers of Cocoyasi Village left, he turned around and walked directly to the open-air swimming pool connected to the sea and looked at the endless sea.
"Boom--"
Suddenly, the sea surface ahead suddenly rose at high speed.
Immediately afterwards, a huge Sea Cow emerged from the bottom of the sea.
Without waiting for Akira to react, Gion and Ain, who were quietly following behind Akira, pressed the hilts of their swords almost at the same time, and both of them ducked in front of Akira, staring ahead as if facing a formidable enemy.
At the same time, a head followed closely behind and popped out from next to the huge Sea Cow.
"Jinbe?"
Seeing that it was Jinbe that emerged from the sea, Gion and Ain spoke almost at the same time.
Jinbe did not speak, but waved his hand and slapped the sea surface. With a sudden burst of majestic force, a curtain of water suddenly rose from the sea surface, like a sea dragon rising from the ground, drawing an arc in the sky and then falling into the swimming pool behind Akira.
As the water dragon fell into the swimming pool, the seven or eight soldiers who had been ordered by Morgan to dive into the seabed to search for Sea Cow coughed, and then quickly swam out of the swimming pool, facing Akira in embarrassment, raising their hands and shouting, "Lord Marshal!"
"You are--"
Looking at the seven or eight soldiers who had become drowned, Akira blinked in confusion. "Soldiers of 153rd Branch?"
"Yes Lord Marshal!"
The leading officer lowered his head in shame, "We were ordered by Captain Morgan to go to the bottom of the sea to look for the remnants of Arlong Pirates, but we didn't want to be almost killed. Fortunately, Mr. Fish-Man arrived in time, otherwise we would--"
Akira was stunned again. "The remnants of Arlong Pirates?"
"Yes, that's the Sea Cow!" The officer's eyes lit up again, pointing to the Sea Cow floating on the sea. "Captain Morgan said, Arlong Pirates made Lord Marshal lose a beloved general, not to mention that Sea Cow, even the earthworms in this park must be dug out and crushed!"
Hearing this, Gion, Ain and other officers standing next to Akira all had facial muscles twitching wildly.
Many of them have heard about Morgan, the 153rd Branch colonel. When he was young, he was a highly motivated and passionate young man, but he was frustrated due to corruption within the navy. It was not until he met Akira that he was promoted to colonel 153rd Branch during the mutiny.
Under such circumstances, any one of them, let alone Morgan, would offer their loyalty to Akira without reservation.
However, Captain Morgan's loyalty is really a bit laughable.
Just one word, absolutely!
"That's it!"
Looking at the serious-looking officer, Akira couldn't help laughing, "In that case, that Sea Cow will reward you and bring back 153rd Branch for a whole cow feast! But you have to find a way to find a ship to transport it back, because your colonel has gone to sea to capture the pirates!"
"Ah?!" All the navy's eyes widened.
"Go ahead~"
Akira stopped talking nonsense and simply said, "Go back to the base and ask Morgan to give you a credit. Just say it was me who said it!"
"Yes!"
When they heard that the capture of Sea Cow would be credited once, several sailors were overjoyed. They all raised their hands in salute and shouted, "Loyalty!"
After watching several navy soldiers work hard to pull the Sea Cow to Cocoyasi Village to find villagers to help haul it, Akira immediately looked at Jinbe who had come ashore and stood in front of him, frowned slightly and said, "You didn't find Stock?"
"Found it!"
Jinbe did not dare to raise his head and bowed slightly. "However, we only found Colonel Stock, his adjutant, two soldiers, and... the wreckage of the warship!"
Before he finished speaking, Jinbe quickly promised, "Please Lord Marshal give me a few more days. As long as the other soldiers are still at the bottom of the sea, Jinbe will definitely salvage them all!"
"Don't promise easily!"
Akira waved his hand, "If you can find Stock, you have done me a big favor! If I give you three more days, it will be great if you can find more sacrificed soldiers. If you can't find them, I won't blame you."
After saying that, Akira waved his hand to signal Jinbe to step back, then took a step forward and looked at the sea ahead.

There's more to come, and it will be updated at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.
There is true love in the world, and a person who "generates electricity with love" is also love.
Good night, I wish you all good dreams.
