"Yes."
Upon hearing Tika's question, a lieutenant colonel next to him responded, looking like he was hesitating to speak.
Tika frowned and asked, "What did he go out to do?"
"Mr. Roya... is... going to encircle and suppress the Gekko Pirates."
"What?!"
Tika showed a look of shock for a moment, and shouted sternly: "When did the Gekko Pirates appear, and when did he go? Why didn't I know about this?!
Seeing the frightened and angry look on Tika's face, the navy who came to greet Tika were all silent, and no one dared to speak.
After a while, the lieutenant colonel in front of Tika spoke softly.
"Well, Mr. Roya said, there is no need to inform you..."
"Damn!!"
Veins appeared on Tika's forehead, and she couldn't help but clenched her fists.
"That guy Roja, because he came from the headquarters, doesn't he take the Gekko Pirates seriously at all? We must not take it lightly when facing the Gekko Pirates!"
The former base commander was careless and was completely wiped out by the Gecko Pirates just because he didn't take the Gekko Pirates seriously.
Thinking of this, Tika looked at the lieutenant colonel with an angry look on his face, gritted his teeth and asked: "How long have they been leaving, and in what direction?!"
Although Tika was a little unhappy with the base commander Roja who was parachuted in from his headquarters, since Roja was the base commander, he couldn't just watch Roja fall into crisis and remain indifferent, and he couldn't do that kind of thing.
Still ready to go to rescue immediately.
"Have been gone for a long time, about... and there has been no news, Mr. Tika."
After hearing the lieutenant colonel's report, Tika's heart gradually sank to the bottom. After being away for such a long time, and with no news coming, it seemed that there was no other possibility.
If two base commanders were killed in their base, of course the headquarters would be furious and send a lieutenant general to pursue the Gekko Pirates. As a major general of the branch, I am afraid he would also have to bear some responsibility, and it would be even more impossible to be promoted to base commander.
"You are really young and energetic. Why did the headquarters send such a young boy to serve as the base commander..."
Tika's anger gradually subsided, replaced by a weak sigh.
After shaking his head, Tika was no longer going to do any unnecessary rescue. He was going to go back to his office and wait for the news quietly.
But.
Almost at the next moment, someone suddenly rushed out of the base. It was a colonel.
The colonel had a look of disbelief on his face. After rushing out, he happened to see Tika and immediately stopped and saluted slightly panicked.
"Ti...Mr. Tikka!"
"Why are you so panicked, what happened?!
Tika's face suddenly darkened, and she had vaguely thought of something.
However, what the colonel said with an expression of disbelief was completely different from what Tika thought!
"The battle report just came in... The Wall... The Wall Tiger Pirates... have all been wiped out! Our casualties include only one serious injury, and the death toll is zero!"
Hearing such words, Tika almost bit the cigar in his mouth, and his eyes widened suddenly. He almost didn't believe his ears, and subconsciously said:
"What did you say?!"
"...Except, besides..."
The colonel showed a somewhat dull look, as if he himself didn't believe it, and said in a trembling voice: "The commander of the Roya base also discovered that the Don Quixote family had an underground exchange in the West Sea, and it has been breached. , captured countless pirates alive, and seized a large amount of supplies... The number of our own casualties... was zero."
"Finally, the commander of Roya Base sent an order to dispatch two warships to escort the pirates and transport supplies..."
He almost said these two paragraphs in a trembling tone, and it seemed that even he felt as if he was listening to heavenly scriptures, with an almost incredulous look on his face.
The sea breeze blew gently.
This harbor fell into silence, as if the sound of a pin dropping to the ground could be heard clearly. Only the sound of waves washing against the harbor wall echoed in the air.
…
A few days later.
The news that an underground stronghold of the Don Quixote family in the West Sea was annihilated by the navy could not be concealed, and soon spread throughout the underground forces in the West Sea.
After all, Bana Island is an island where ordinary people and pirates mix. In addition, not only the stronghold of the Don Quixote family was destroyed this time, but also the representatives sent by various forces for this underground trade fair. All were imprisoned.
Some underground organization.
Nico Robin, who had sneaked into this organization at some point, was looking at a piece of information with a hint of surprise.
"The Don Quixote family's deal was ruined and their stronghold was breached..."
"Is this something that the navy in the West Sea can do?" Robin crumpled the information into a small ball of paper. After muttering, a figure suddenly flashed in his mind, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Could it be... it's him? !
other areas.
The leader of a certain underground black force, after receiving the news, overturned the table angrily.
"The Don Quixote family... what did they do? If this is the case, how can they buy arms through their family in the future?!"
The leader of a certain slave trader threw his glass with annoyance.
"All the slaves I bought for the nobles of Manos Kingdom are gone now. How can I explain to those nobles..."
It would be fine if only one of the Don Quixote family's strongholds was destroyed by the navy, but an underground trade fair that had been held for a long time was destroyed by such a coincidence, causing all representatives of all forces to fall. The problem was a bit serious.
The entire dark world of the West Sea seemed to have been shaken by an earthquake!
…
The North Sea among the four seas.
On a calm sea, the pirate ship of the Don Quixote family, which had just escaped the fleet of the Navy Chief of Staff He, was parked on the shore of an uninhabited island to rest.
"Dover, something happened."
The top leader of the Don Quixote family, Torrebol, who was as slimy as a big ball of snot, squirmed into a luxurious and exquisite room, holding a phone bug and several pieces of information in his hand.
"One of our strongholds in the West Sea was discovered by the navy again. Several batches of goods were all gone. The supreme sharp knife we just obtained and a batch of fine slaves were also lost."
"There is a worse problem. Our business in Xihai has been greatly affected by this incident. Many forces have asked us for explanations and said they are no longer willing to do business with us."
Torebol's face was also very ugly, with snot swishing from his nose, showing an angry expression on his face.
Doflamingo was being chased around by Chief of Staff He's fleet. He was not in a good mood to begin with. When he heard Torrebol's words, his face became equally cold and terrifying.
"What a bunch of rubbish! Which stronghold has the problem?"
Dover remembered that not long ago, the South China Sea was smashed by the navy, and even the cadre of the family, Laog, fell there. Now there is another problem in the West Sea.
"It's Xihai Stronghold No. 1. It's been well hidden there. I don't know why it was discovered by the navy. Dove, do you want to give those navy some color?!"
Recently, they were being chased by the fleet of Chief of General Staff of the Navy He. They are all big pirates who dominate the great sea route. Naturally, they felt uncomfortable being chased. I was in a very bad mood at the moment. In Torebol's words, Even with a bit of murderous intent.
