Just as Kro was looking at the tallest Golden Hotel building, Lida suddenly frowned and looked in a certain direction.

Footsteps could be heard from there.

A group of people dressed in black suits walked over arrogantly.

"Found you, Job!"

The leader, a man with dyed red hair, saw the broken door and discovered the man kneeling inside, as well as two sailors at the door.

"navy?"

The man paused for a moment, but ignored him and shouted to the man inside, "Job, it's time to pay your debts! The rent, plus the interest on your existing debts!"

"Please be a little more patient. I really don't have any money right now," the man named Job said bitterly.

"Nonsense, of course I know you don't have money."

The red-haired man said, "I've been looking for you for days. You said you'd go work in the factory, but now you can't escape."

Upon hearing this, Job's face fell. He had become like this recently because of this matter.

He owes too much debt, and the people here want him to go to a factory overseas. Otherwise, he can still feed his children by working in this city.

But those who went out never came back, and now that he's gone, what will happen to these children?

So a few days ago, he was deliberately avoiding these people.

"How much money does he owe?" Lida suddenly asked.

The redhead looked Lida up and down, somewhat surprised. When did the Navy have a child this small?

“This is an internal affair of our city, it has nothing to do with you.”

He said, "But it's not that we can't say. Job owes us three million Berries in principal, of course, with interest. The daily interest is ten thousand Berries. Tesoro kindly rented this house to him for one hundred thousand Berries a month. He's been here for several years now. Hmm... how much does he owe in total again?"

"Twenty million Berries," a man next to him sneered.

“Yes, twenty million Berries.” The redhead nodded and said, “You definitely can’t pay that back. You’d better come with us.”

As he spoke, the red-haired man walked over, intending to go inside and grab the man.

Among the group of children inside, the oldest boy, who looked to be only eight or nine years old and about the same age as Lida who was still in her loli form, stood up and blocked the man's way, staring at the red-haired man who was walking in.

"You're not allowed to take my dad with you!"

"Huh? Get lost, kid, this is none of your business."

The red-haired man walked over, saying, "You should be grateful that Job always protects you. Otherwise, his debts wouldn't have piled up so high, and all his earnings would have gone to paying off the interest, allowing you to stay safe in this house. But once he's gone, you'd better get back to work. The restaurants and bars here are severely lacking in waiters!"

As he spoke, he walked over and reached out to pry the child's body apart.

*Smack*

Suddenly, a hand grabbed his wrist.

"You?" The red-haired man looked over and saw the bespectacled navy man standing next to him, pushing up his glasses with the heel of his other hand.

"Using debt as a pretext to force people into labor that deprives them of their freedom is also a form of human trafficking. So, we have found the human trafficker."

Kro said calmly, "We are here on orders from our superiors to search for a human trafficking ring. You have been arrested."

"ha?"

The red-haired man wasn't intimidated by Kuro; instead, he looked incredulous. "Tell me, do you know who I am? I'm Lord Tesoro's subordinate! Do you know where this is? This is a country recognized by the World Government, an absolutely neutral zone, Gran Tesoro!"

No navy has ever dared to come here to arrest anyone. Here, the identities of navy and pirate are invalid because Gran Tesoro is backed by the World Government, and the navy has no jurisdiction over this area.

Kro held him like that, bowing slightly, his glasses gleaming in the neon lights.

Snap!

"Aaaaaah!!!"

With a sound like bone cracking, the red-haired man clutched his wrist and howled in pain.

Meanwhile, behind Kuro, a large number of naval forces arrived at the scene and surrounded the people.

"I don't need to know who you are."

Kuro looked at the red-haired man and said calmly, "All I need to know is that we are the Navy, and that's enough."

Bang!

On a street in the commercial district, Sazel, stepping over the Tesoro men lying sprawled on the ground, hung up the Den Den Mushi, waved his hand, and said, "Action! Surround the entire commercial district and begin the search. If you encounter any suspicious individuals, you may shoot them without permission!"

Just like everything they did in Sabaody, this is simply a repetition.

"Surround them!"

From the port, a large number of naval personnel began to surge forward. Led by Wilbur, the naval leaders began to surround all commercial facilities, whether restaurants, pubs, casinos, or red-light districts. A large number of tourists began to have their identities checked, while those whose identities were questionable were taken into custody by the navy.

Those who owed debts in this city were initially detained by the navy under suspicious circumstances, but they would be released once the investigation was completed.

Yes, freedom.

For those in the city who already lack this, this is nothing short of a great joy, and no one would dare to resist.

The tourists who came to visit, though somewhat puzzled, all fell silent when they saw the navy recklessly killing Tesoro's men in the city.

They're just tourists; who would want to provoke the Navy? Maybe the World Government has changed its mind. After all, the Navy is a direct subordinate agency of the World Government and won't act without orders.

Meanwhile, on a street in the commercial district, Kuro used his Observation Haki to sense the aura representing the Navy gradually engulfing the area. He shook his head and smiled, "Isn't this great?"

"You've made quite a show of it."

Suddenly, a voice rang out from above.

"who?!"

It wasn't Kuro who raised his head, but rather the Marines standing beside him who all looked up at him.

On the rooftop of the building above the neon lights, a dark figure with a ninja-like stance appeared, its cold eyes staring straight down.

"Look, one has come out."

Kuro's lips slowly curled into a smile. "If it's inconvenient for the master to take action, then the dog will take the initiative to bite."

"My name is Chuanzang, and I have come for you."

The ninja above spoke loudly, his voice laced with a hint of ferocity: "For your sword, and for your life!"

Whoosh!

In an instant, the man vanished from above and flashed to the ground. He was dressed in a black ninja outfit, with swords hanging from his back and waist. Half of his face was covered by a black cloth, revealing his wrinkled eyes.

"The famous sword 'Shusui' has been owned by renowned figures throughout history, including 'Dragon Slayer Swordsman' Ryuma, 'Bounty Hunter' Roronoa Zoro, and the current Marine Vice Admiral 'Golden Lion'. It is a sword worthy of being collected."
