The capital of the Dominican Republic was naturally on the main island. Led by the giant eagle Haster, ten warships sailed toward their destination and arrived at a port town on the main island in about half a day.

Harvey transformed from a giant eagle into human form, landed on the ground, and bowed to the people who had disembarked, saying, "General, esteemed lieutenant generals, please follow me. I will take you to the capital."

"Walking there?"

Sazil, stepping forward from the back, asked, "No way, no way, you invite someone over and don't even have basic transportation? No way."

Knowing that he was only affected by the ability, and that even Admiral Kuro couldn't solve it and could only kill hundreds of thousands of people to deal with it, he became somewhat fearless.

He definitely won't be punished.

What's there to be afraid of? Just do it the same way you did before.

But just in case, it's best to do something to please him first, lest General Kuro, who has nowhere else to vent his frustrations, vent them on himself.

“Of course there is transportation. Please follow me.” Harvey remained unmoved by Sazir’s sarcastic remarks and spoke calmly.

"Alright, alright, let's go. Here's the plan: take a thousand marines forward, the rest stand by. Don't dock at the port, blockade this place from the outside," Kuro waved his hand and said.

"yes!"

Several lieutenant generals gave a speech, quickly organized their men, and then ordered the other naval personnel to retreat on warships.

The team was led by Kuro, with six lieutenant generals as his assistants, and Kuro had practically staked his entire fortune on it.

Lida, Crow, Cass, Wilbur—everyone except Ian had arrived.

Donald's subordinates were not present, as they were staying in Dressrosa.

In addition, Sazel, Fanny, Kikyo, and Moore are also here.

A large group of people, led by Harvey, ventured deeper into the area.

But soon, Kuro raised an eyebrow: "Interesting."

Doberman, standing to the side, frowned, but seemed unsurprised.

I feel a little reluctant to burn the mountain.

Cass and Wilbur clenched their fists tightly, their faces grim.

Kro adjusted his glasses and remained silent.

Lida tugged at Kuro's sleeve and whispered, "Kuro..."

Unlike when they first arrived at the port, where the buildings and streets were relatively bright and clean, once they went deeper, they found that everything was completely different. In front of them, unlike the two- or three-story buildings in the port area, there were only low and dilapidated bungalows. The roads were uneven and muddy. The people nearby were dressed in rags, sitting or squatting in doorways or corners, staring at them, the sailors, like rats.

How can a person be like a rat? But that appearance only reminds people of the creatures found in sewers.

They live in the same world, under the same sunlight, but the two- or three-story buildings, or even taller ones, block out the sun, making these low-rise houses dark and gloomy.

The biggest sun blocker is a colossal skyscraper at the very edge of this bright area, which blocks the most sunlight.

Like a dividing line, it splits this city into two worlds.

One side is a bright and harmonious world, seemingly peaceful.

One side was muddy and filthy, clearly a place of darkness and evil.

"Gentlemen, we've arrived." Harvey walked to the front of the huge building and stopped.

"welcome!!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud and clear voice rang out from the entrance of the tall building.

A chubby man wearing glasses strode out with his arms outstretched. "My friends, welcome to the most dazzling pearl of the Dominican Republic, the Underground Train Tower. I am your guide and your good friend, York!"

As he spoke, he walked straight ahead, intending to reach Kuro and extend his hands, seemingly to shake hands with him.

Who are you?!

Sazier then stepped in front of York, arrogantly asking, "What do you want?"

"Having met so many famous naval officers, I naturally wanted to shake their gloves and get closer to them. Maybe we could become good friends. I love making friends."

York smiled and said, "Let me tell you, I love making friends. The more friends you have, the more opportunities you'll have in the future, don't you think?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward, almost touching Sazir.

Sazir paused for a moment, then nodded as if possessed: "You're right, having many friends is a good thing."

"That's right, shake hands, and we're good friends."

York extended his hand and spoke to Sazir.

Sazir extended his hand, murmuring, "Yes, let's shake hands..."

They clasped hands together and shook them vigorously. Sazir immediately perked up, patted York on the shoulder, and laughed loudly, "From now on, you're my good friend. Don't worry, I'll protect you if anything happens. I am, after all, a colonel!"

“Sazil!” Kro shouted.

Sazir paused, pulled his hand away from York, and said, "Brother, I'll tell you later, I'm on a mission."

He then returned to his original position.

York smiled and approached Crowe. "This must be Lieutenant General Crowe the Wolf. I've heard so much about you... I..."

"Stand there!"

Kro said coldly, "Who gave you permission to come closer? You can introduce yourself, but I didn't tell you to get closer!"

York paused, still smiling, "Oh, it's such a pity I can't get a close look at your glory, but please let me show you the way and introduce you to the underground train that the Dominican Republic is so proud of. Please follow me."

As he spoke, the chubby man with glasses was the first to walk inside.

Harvey bowed and said, "This leads directly to the capital. Please follow me and visit the underground beauty of the Dominican Republic."

"Let's go, let's go, it must be great where my good friend is!" Sazir said excitedly.

Kuro narrowed his eyes, glanced at Sazir who was inexplicably excited, then looked at the deep space inside the high-rise building's entrance, and said with a cigar in his mouth, "Alright, let me see what's going on. Let's go."

A group of people entered the main entrance of the tall building. Before going in, Kuro glanced at the people in the shadows opposite, frowned, and finally sighed, saying nothing more.

He has no say in the country's internal affairs.

Cass and Wilbur, however, heard the sigh, exchanged a glance, and nodded silently.

They naturally witnessed this unpleasant scene as well.

perhaps...

They also need to intervene in this area of ​​the first half of the Grand Line.

But where can we find a spokesperson?

David is in the New World, Lowe is in the West Sea, and the four kingdoms of the North Sea are of little use; they are just obedient, nice-natured people.

We need to support a country in the first half of its development to do this, to join their sacred and glorious mission!
