"Haha, this place is pretty good."
Before long, the group arrived at the town's main gate. The road was paved with stones, and there were houses on both sides.
Many residents set up stalls on both sides of the road, and there were quite a few pedestrians coming and going, making it look very lively.
"Haha, let me see if the girls of the New World are as wild as the weather here."
Carlmand transforms into the captain, leading the others on a new and wondrous adventure.
"Woman?"
Oulait sensed something was amiss; it seemed this team activity was linked to women, which was different from what he had initially thought.
"Let's go, Oulait. Why are you still spacing out?"
Behrens and Drew noticed that Oulait was standing there in a daze, so they each grabbed one of his arms and dragged him away.
"This rural town feels so nice, let's go explore it."
The locals along the way were very welcoming. Judging from their attire, Kazu and his companions were obviously outsiders, and they all greeted them warmly.
"Wow, young man, you're quite the ladies' man! So many beautiful women are surrounding you!"
"Haha, how about some of our local specialty fruits?"
"Hey buddy, beautiful lady, where are you from?"
Along the way, many vendors even offered them fruit and food for free, which made Kazu feel a little uncomfortable with their enthusiasm.
Please, they're pirates. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were high-ranking officials on an inspection tour.
Through chatting, they also learned some basic information.
This place is called Mukelong, and it consists of only one town, surrounded by a dozen or so villages.
The villagers bring their grains, livestock, and handicrafts to sell here, making it like a large market.
Although they weren't very wealthy, everyone lived a stable life.
The reason is that this area belongs to the Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard Pirates ' flag is planted in the middle of the town.
Kazu arrived at the main street, and sure enough, the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates was hanging in front of the mayor's office.
The flags fluttered in the breeze, deterring some with ulterior motives from making any rash moves.
Kazu knew that Fish-Man Island was Whitebeard Pirates ' territory, but he didn't expect that this entire area had been invaded.
Thinking back, it makes sense. This is one of the many islands at the entrance to the New World, and it's very close to here after coming from Fish-Man Island.
Kazu rubbed his chin, realizing he was getting closer and closer to that man; he would soon be able to fulfill his mother's last wish.
"This sea area is really a good place for a fight."
There are civilians on this island, so it's obviously not suitable for fighting. Let's find a deserted island nearby and then call the Whitebeard Pirates after we leave.
The Den Den Mushi obtained on the Grand Line is finally about to fulfill its mission.
"Mayor Bais, something terrible has happened!"
A middle-aged man hurriedly pushed open the door to the mayor's office, his face filled with terror, as if the sky were about to fall.
" Kerry, you're my secretary. You need to learn to be more composed. You're over thirty years old, how can you still be so impatient?"
Bais didn't look very tall. He wore glasses and his clothes were clean and tidy. He was sitting at his desk processing documents.
Secretary Kerry walked in without knocking, and it's unclear what had happened.
"Mayor Bais, this morning some villagers spotted an extremely luxurious ship docked on the shore. I personally led a team to take a look and confirmed it's the ship of the Blond Hair Pirates, no doubt about it."
"What did you say?"
"That Blond Hair Pirates that dared to kill Celestial Dragons and create a hole in the Red Line has arrived?!"
Bais stood up abruptly, unable to believe the news he was hearing.
"Mayor Bais, please think of something! A pirate of this caliber is too powerful for the Whitebeard Pirates to intimidate with their flag."
Kerry couldn't make up his mind, so he could only place his hopes on the mayor.
The town mayor has always worked diligently and managed the town in an orderly manner, earning the deep love and respect of the people and becoming their pillar of support.
After a brief moment of panic, Bais quickly issued orders. "Go and sound the alarm, and evacuate the civilians from the streets. I'll call the Whitebeard Pirates to report the situation here and try to get their support."
"Then I will personally go and find the Blond Hair Pirates, and try my best to keep them calm."
"I'll go right away, Mayor."
Kerry immediately sounded the alarm and led a group of people to evacuate the crowd from the streets, telling them to return to their respective villages and wait for further instructions from the town.
Residents in the town should close their doors and windows and are prohibited from going out.
