Yellow Monkey Mobilizes

He did not dare delay and hurriedly asked, "Where is the Celestial Dragon on this warship? Where did he go?"

If something had happened to the Celestial Dragon, he did not dare imagine the consequences!

"We don't know either. When we woke up, the warship was already here!" the women answered together!

"Impossible! I don't believe it!"

The Marine rear admiral shook his head and shouted. He absolutely refused to believe this was real!

Then, he took all the women back and interrogated them one by one in private!

Yet the answers he ultimately received were shockingly identical!

They did not know!

It was as if they had suddenly lost their memories. Yes, just like amnesia—it was unbelievably bizarre!

The rear admiral who received that answer was devastated!

But this was a matter of great importance, one involving a Celestial Dragon. This Marine Headquarters rear admiral did not dare neglect it and immediately reported the matter to the Fleet Admiral of Marine Headquarters, Sengoku!

Marine Headquarters, Marineford!

"What? A Celestial Dragon has gone missing??"

Even Sengoku was startled when he learned the news. His braided beard trembled, and his voice rose more than an octave!

"Alright, I understand. Don't make this public for now. Keep the situation under control, and leave the rest to me!"

Sengoku sighed. As long as it involved a Celestial Dragon, it was no longer something a mere Marine rear admiral could handle!

"Say, Fleet Admiral, a Celestial Dragon has been attacked. Should I go help with the investigation?"

One of Marine Headquarters' three admirals, Yellow Monkey, was filing his nails with a languid expression as he spoke in an extremely slow tone!

He had black curly hair and wore a yellow-and-white striped suit. A ring of beard circled his face, and he wore sunglasses. He was exceptionally tall and thin!

"That works. If you go, it'll be easier for me to explain things to the Celestial Dragons. I'll be counting on you!"

Sengoku nodded. Having Yellow Monkey handle this matter was very appropriate!

Even if he found nothing, it would still be enough to give the Celestial Dragons an explanation!

"The Whitebeard Pirates have been rather quiet lately. That's good. Otherwise, the New World has been in a constant state of tension, and it would be easy for new conflicts to erupt!"

"However, this Blood-Eyed Xia Zhiqing has suddenly vanished without a trace recently. That doesn't seem quite normal!"

"He has usually been the most active member of the Whitebeard Pirates. Though he is only twelve years old, he already has a bounty of two hundred million. He will become a tremendous threat in the future!"

Sengoku glanced at the wanted poster before him, showing Xia Zhiqing in profile. A trace of worry and gravity flashed through his eyes!

Meanwhile, somewhere on the sea in the New World!

"Is it really alright to let them go like that, sir?"

The wheat-skinned woman looked at Xia Zhiqing beside her, who was sitting cross-legged in a meditative pose, and asked!

"Don't worry, Anna. Since I dared let them go, I naturally have my reasons!"

"If the Marines can trace this back to me, I'll cut off my head and let you use it as a ball!"

Xia Zhiqing opened his eyes and looked at the wheat-skinned woman, Anna, speaking with confidence!

"Why are you so confident?" Anna asked in return!

"Hehe, because I trust my methods. I was born for this kind of work, and besides..."

At this point, Xia Zhiqing's lips curled slightly. "Everyone nearby who saw it all has been dealt with!"

"Only you and I know about this. Heaven knows, earth knows!"

"Unless they have the ability to rewind the past, there is absolutely no way they can trace it back to either of us!"
