After Noah and his crew emptied Conomi Islands.
Navy and CP Agent also quickly arrived on Conomi Islands to investigate any clues about the Liberator Organization.
For more than a year, whether it's the Navy's SWORD, CP Agent, the Revolutionary Army, underground giants, the Shichibukai, the Pirate Emperors, or various Affiliated Nation, they have all been searching for the Liberators's whereabouts, both openly and secretly.
Unfortunately, after working hard for over a year, they gained nothing.
Conomi Islands Cocoyasi Village.
Garp, who had taken leave to return to the East Blue a few days ago, is here with his subordinates.
As the ship's strategist and first mate, Bogard looked at the heads on the ground. "These are Arlong and the others from the former Sun Pirates. Did they encounter people from the Liberator Organization?"
"Report, Vice Admiral Bogard, this is additional intelligence from headquarters regarding the Conomi Islands incident."
Bogard took the document, glanced through it, and showed little emotion. It described the collusion between Captain Nezumi and Arlong, a common occurrence in the Four Seas Navy.
Garp was still on the deck of the warship at the dock, eating a whole bunch of donuts.
After inspecting the houses in Cocoyasi Village, Bogard found no valuable information.
Suddenly, an officer emerged from a room. He was a naval captain with two long tendrils on his forehead.
Bogard turned to ask, " Captain Cockroach, have you found anything?"
" Noah the Liberator, appeared here and stayed for at least a day," Captain Cockroach replied.
"Can any useful features be found?"
"Yes, this." Captain Cockroach held up a bottle of Rum.
" Rum? Isn't that a common Rum?" Bogard asked, looking puzzled.
"No, this is Crown Gold Rum, a specialty of the Rum Kingdom, sold only in the East Blue region. Furthermore, this bottle was Rum on February 17th of this year, meaning that Noah the Liberator must have purchased it after Rum 17th."
Bogard raised an eyebrow. "Could it have been brought over by other merchant ships?"
"There's a lingering scent of that Kuro the Vampire, on this bottle."
Bogard took out a simple map of the East Blue from his pocket, glanced at the distance between the Rum Kingdom and Conomi Islands, and found that the distance between the two places was about 1,700 kilometers.
The current date is March 11th.
On March 6th, it was discovered that Conomi Islands had been emptied and that Captain Nezumi and his branch base had been destroyed.
Captain Cockroach continued, "In other words, only 18 days passed between the bottling and sale of this bottle of Rum and its consumption by Kuro the Vampire."
"Considering the transportation and shelf placement of Rum, this batch of Rum will definitely only be available in the Rum Kingdom and a few surrounding islands in the short term, which means that Kuro has recently visited the Rum Kingdom or those surrounding islands."
Bogard looked at the Rum Kingdom on the map, a thoughtful expression on his face, and then asked, "If it's an aura from within the last ten days or so, can you distinguish it?"
Captain Cockroach nodded with certainty. "Sure, as long as they have indeed been active in the Rum Kingdom, I can identify the traces of their activities."
"I'll report to Vice Admiral Garp immediately."
After Bogard finished speaking, he took to the air with Geppo technique.
A dozen seconds later, he appeared on the deck of the warship.
Garp, still locked in a fierce battle with the donuts, looked up. " Bogard, is the reconnaissance complete?"
" Vice Admiral Garp, Captain Cockroach just detected the scent of Kuro the Vampire, deducing that he has been active near the Rum Kingdom within the past two weeks, most likely docking at Cane Sugar Port Harbor in the Rum Kingdom."
After listening to Bogard's report, Garp stopped eating his donut, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
But then he frowned. "Even if they did dock at Cane Sugar Port in the Rum Kingdom, they shouldn't have anything of value, right?"
Bogard explained, "While we may not necessarily find anything, we're just doing some investigation along the way. If we can find some intelligence, it would be good for the Navy."
Garp nodded. "Then let's do it your way! But don't tell anyone else about this, since it's still unconfirmed information."
"I see."
Soon, Garp led three warships away from Cocoyasi Village and slowly approached the Rum Kingdom.
As the adjutant, Bogard naturally wouldn't rush the warships towards the Rum Kingdom. After all, he couldn't be sure of the Liberator Organization's intelligence capabilities. If they could monitor the activities of the Navy's intelligence personnel, then Garp, as a Navy hero, would most likely be under their surveillance.
Rushing to the Rum Kingdom might expose their purpose.
Therefore, the three warships continued at their usual sailing speed, docking at the island ports along the way in turn.
One week later.
Garp's Dog-Head Warship had not yet arrived in the Rum Kingdom when it stopped midway.
"Report, urgent from headquarters: the Liberator Organization have emerged in the Oykot Kingdom Oykot Kingdom, and they have already captured the capital..."
Garp and Bogard's expressions instantly turned serious.
Bogard quickly asked, "What are the instructions from headquarters?"
The messenger quickly replied, " Your Fleet Admiral, Vice Admiral Garp to detour to the Oykot Kingdom. Admiral Kizaru and the Special Mobile Unit are also preparing to depart for the Oykot Kingdom."
Garp knew the seriousness of the situation. " Bogard, change course!"
"Yes, sir!" Bogard picked up the Den Den Mushi and shouted, "All personnel, adjust course, full speed ahead towards the Oykot Kingdom!"
"Receive."
"Receive."
at the same time.
The capital of the Oykot Kingdom.
A large number of nobles were drained of their blood by Kuro and turned into mummies.
Those civilians without major problems have been gathered and transferred by Ray to the Storm Archipelago in the South Blue for temporary accommodation.
As for those problematic gangsters, criminals, unscrupulous businessmen, nobles, and thugs, relevant intelligence had already been gathered through the Distillery in advance. These individuals were also transferred away, but imprisoned in the secret prison on Angel Island.
However, this time, the World Government reacted very quickly.
After Ray evacuated all the civilians, there were still criminals in eight towns who had not been evacuated when Borsalino appeared over Oyi City.
Borsalino didn't waste any words.
The opening move was a large swath of Yasakani no Magatama.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Countless light projectiles indiscriminately covered the entire city.
Boom boom boom...
Amidst the violent explosion, a rock giant rose from the city center.
"Hey... isn't that the one-armed monkey?" Vic's face appeared on the rock giant's chest.
However, Borsalino knew very well that he absolutely could not get caught in the Liberator Organization ' siege, otherwise even with the speed of the Glint-Glint Fruit, he might still be caught off guard and capsize.
A beam of light refracted wildly in mid-air.
Every now and then, lasers or light projectiles would spray out randomly.
Noah stood on a high mountain north of Oyi City, looking at the tarot cards he had just drawn.
"A silent crisis is brewing with the two-faced man..."
"A chance encounter, a turning point achieved in a split second..."
He closed his eyes, Observation Haki extended in all directions until he saw three warships rapidly approaching the Oykot Kingdom, especially one of them with a dog's head hanging on it.
"So that's how it is, the crisis Garp brought?"
