"What?!!"
The other guards also rushed over at the news.
They looked ready for battle.
Although only one person had come this time, unlike the Red Hair Pirates and the Revolutionary Army.
This person's identity and standing were rather different.
Pirates might still cooperate or have ties based on shared interests.
They could become friends.
But Marines could never become pirates' companions!
Pirates and Marines were eternal enemies.
The Marines had been founded to crack down on pirates at sea.
The visitor this time was a Marine, and no ordinary Marine at that.
He was the Marines' current Fleet Admiral!
Kuzan had only just been promoted to Fleet Admiral.
They knew that every newly appointed official urgently needed achievements to consolidate their position.
As the new Fleet Admiral, if he wanted to secure his position.
Cracking down on pirates was naturally the quickest way.
And the stronger and more prominent the pirates he struck, the greater the deterrent effect.
In the entire Pirate World, Lott was the strongest, and the strongest pirate crew was the one he led.
If Kuzan could deal the Lott Pirates a crushing blow right after taking office, his prestige among the Marines would reach unprecedented heights.
His position as Fleet Admiral would become even more secure.
Although their Peach Spring was strong, so strong that they did not fear the Marines.
Now that Kuzan had dared to enter enemy territory alone, he surely had something to rely on.
They knew Kuzan's strength. He was genuinely at Admiral level.
He also possessed the Logia Ice-Ice Fruit.
If he were allowed to wreak havoc in Peach Spring, there would inevitably be many casualties.
They had no choice but to remain vigilant.
As time passed, more and more guards arrived.
Almost everyone brought their weapons, ready for battle.
