I never knew Japan had such audacity.

Albert turned to leave, but Oda-kun didn't have time to put down his bayonet and immediately grabbed Albert's arm with his other hand.

"Mr. Albert, please let me explain. It's a misunderstanding, really."

When we boarded the ship, we made sure to load all the treasures onto it. But for some reason, the ship is now full of stones.

Albert didn't believe Oda's words at all; subconsciously, he believed that Japan had deceived the United States.

Albert shoved Oda's hand away, saying, "Oda, I think you should explain these things to the US government."

After saying that, he turned and left. Oda-kun didn't care about anything else and hurriedly chased after him.

"Mr. Albert, it's really not what you think. There really were treasures on the ship. Those treasures, yes! Those treasures must have been stolen by that Chinese warship."

"Those treasures must be on that Chinese warship right now! Yes, that must be it."

Oda suddenly seemed to remember something, and his face flushed with excitement. He remembered the kayak that had inexplicably drifted beside the fishing boat.

At this moment, Oda-kun unleashed an unprecedented potential, running a few steps to block Albert's path.

“Mr. Albert, please believe me. Before the American warships arrived, our fishing boat was adrift at sea when the Chinese warships sent a kayak over. The kayak was empty, yet it drifted precisely to our fishing boat. It must have been after that that the treasure on the fishing boat disappeared.”

Albert felt that what Oda was saying was nonsense, and he really didn't want to believe it. In the instant he lifted his foot, the images of the cannons they had just fired flashed through his mind, but none of them had hit their mark, and he felt that what Oda said might not be impossible.

Oda, fearing Albert wouldn't believe him, turned back and shouted at Fujino.

"Fujino-kun, please be my witness. Wasn't that kayak... that kayak submerged under all three of our fishing boats?"

After speaking, Oda and Fujino exchanged a glance, their expressions growing even more grim. They needed to immediately confirm whether the treasure remained on the other two fishing boats.

However, when the two climbed onto the deck, two other boats were already alongside the fishing boat, and the Japanese on both sides looked pale and sickly.

Their hearts sank to the bottom, and they both took a few steps back and collapsed onto the deck.

It's all over, all over! How did the Chinese soldiers manage to take away so many treasures?

When Albert came out of the cabin and saw the two of them, his doubts lessened a bit, but he couldn't rule out the possibility that they were putting on an act for him.

After all, the Japanese don't have a very good reputation in the world.

"Gentlemen, I think I need a more believable reason."
