Chapter 733 Suppression and Interrogation! (Two in One)

The terrifying pressure was suddenly exerted on Chopper and the others who had already transformed. The huge body fell down directly, and Luffy and Usopp, who were in their hands, also fell to the side.

As his body fell, Chopper crushed a building on the other side. Amidst the smoke and dust, merchants and buyers fled for their lives. After running a long way, they finally turned around to look at the collapsed shop.

Seeing the huge shadow in the smoke and dust, I just felt relieved.

"Chopper!"

"What’s wrong with you!"

Luffy and Usopp both fell to the ground, but this fall also made them sober up a little. The severe pain made it difficult for them to get up. At this moment, they could only raise their heads and look in the direction of Chopper, shouting with concern.

It was clear that they were not out of danger either, and Luffy even had seastone handcuffs on his hands, but at this moment both of them were concerned about Chopper, fearing that their partner would get hurt.

Luffy and Usopp were both sixteen or seventeen years old, and although they had the mentality of children, compared to the naive Chopper, they were truly adults. Chopper, on the other hand, was like an eleven or twelve year old child, with a pure nature.

When they were on the ship, the crew members were very caring towards Chopper. Now that they are away from home, Luffy and Usopp are even more protective of him.

At this time, Chopper was obviously attacked by some unknown attack. Now Chopper was shrouded in smoke and dust, and his condition was unclear, which made Luffy and Usopp even more worried.

"I-I'm fine!"

"Hurry up and leave!"

The huge pressure hit Chopper's body, making it impossible for him to stand up. At this time, he heard Luffy and Usopp's cries, and in order to make them feel at ease, he stubbornly said that he was fine.

Not only that, Chopper also tried to get Luffy and Usopp's men to leave quickly.

Although Chopper didn't know what was causing the sudden pressure on him, he understood that it must be the enemy's trick.

If this kind of force hits Luffy and Usopp at this moment, I'm afraid none of the three of them will be able to leave here safely.

"Wow"

At this moment, a low groaning sound came from the empty hole in the tavern that Chopper had broken open with his hands.

“Da da da—”

In the smoke and dust, Yixiao tapped the ground with his cane, walked out of the hole, and appeared in the sight of Luffy and others.

His observation Haki had already grasped the situation at the scene. When he heard Chopper, who was controlled by the gravity fruit, shouting at his companions to leave quickly, he couldn't help but let out a surprised murmur.

Pirates

We have seen too many people like this. When sharing prosperity, pirates may be able to be brothers, but when facing irresistible danger, pirates will show their worst side to others.

When disaster strikes, everyone runs away.

I don't know how many times I've seen this kind of scene.

On the contrary, people like Chopper are relatively rare.

"None of you can leave here."

Straw Hat Pirates

As he spoke, Yixiao tapped the ground with his cane again. When Luffy and Usopp turned around and looked in the direction where Yixiao's voice came from, the power of the gravity fruit was applied to them at the same time.

“Bang!!!”

Luffy is very strong and has a powerful aura. Yixiao's attack on him is a bit stronger than that of the other two.

Because of the influence of gravity, Luffy, who struggled to raise his head, hit his head heavily on the ground again, making a slight sound, and the ground beneath him sank into the ground under the influence of gravity, forming a shallow pit.

Usopp's situation is similar to Luffy's, except that the hole under him is slightly shallower than Luffy's.

But Usopp himself was just like Luffy, his entire body was completely stuck to the ground. Even under the strong pressure of gravity, blood was flowing from the corners of Usopp's mouth.

"What is this?!!"

Luffy was shocked. This was the first time he had personally experienced such terrifying power. Luffy felt familiar with the blind uncle, as if he had seen him somewhere, but he could not recognize him for a moment.

However, the passers-by who were watching the excitement on the street recognized Yixiao when he walked out of the broken wall of the tavern.

One of the highest leaders of the new navy, the admiral stationed on Cake Island, smiled.

The local residents of Wanguo were naturally no strangers to Yixiao. Even some gamblers who had been lingering at the gambling tables for years were already familiar with him. They wouldn't be too surprised to see Yixiao at the gambling tables.

"Mr. Yixiao! It's Mr. Yixiao!!"

"Is Mr. Yixiao catching pirates? No wonder the battle ended so quickly?"

"As expected of Mr. Yixiao, it's really reassuring!"

The praises from the people around him reached Yixiao's ears. After suppressing Luffy and the others with his Devil Fruit power, he also showed a guilty look to the passersby beside him:

"I'm truly sorry. It was our navy's negligence that allowed these pirates to reach the island."

"Tomorrow, a special person will come here to count the various losses caused by the battle. The damaged houses will be repaired by our new navy. The rest that cannot be repaired will be compensated according to the price."

"I'm so sorry."

As the chief officer of the New Navy, Yixiao was very humble when dealing with ordinary people. Although the New Navy was not the biggest responsible for the losses, Yixiao still made a promise to compensate the people.

Moreover, he shouldn't have been involved in such matters. The Hazelnut Island Navy had the power to communicate and negotiate with ordinary people. However, as an admiral, he still did not avoid such matters.

The people around were obviously very familiar with General Yixiao's character. Hearing Yixiao's politeness, the shop owners who were still in shock shook their heads and said:

"Mr. Yixiao, you are so polite."

"Thanks to the protection of your new navy, our business can continue for a long time."

"Mr. Yixiao, you should deal with the pirates first and leave us alone for now."

The merchants were naturally aware of the New Navy's rules, and they weren't afraid that the New Navy wouldn't compensate the pirates for their losses. They trusted the New Navy, but they wouldn't give up their share of the compensation just because of that trust.

These vendors were not actually wealthy. Many of them had to spend all their money to open a shop. If they suddenly suffered such a loss, without the compensation from the new navy, it would be difficult for them to continue their business.

Even if he was just being polite to Yixiao, he would not leave the compensation unclaimed.

"Thank you for your understanding."

As for Yixiao, what he wanted was the prestige and reputation of the new navy in the hearts of the people. As for the compensation, it was simply a small matter for their navy.

The new navy now has many sources of funding, including the "ill-gotten gains" from the rich in the Golden City, the gold and silver treasures obtained from killing pirates, and the commercial taxes collected from the development of ports.

Even since Tsugakuni Yoshiichi returned to the Naval Headquarters, a portion of the Tianshangjin collected from the member states was allocated to the new navy as military expenses.

Therefore, the new navy today can be considered to be wealthy and powerful. If money can be used to exchange for the trust and prestige of the people, the new navy will spend money without hesitation.

Yixiao politely thanked the people, and then walked to Usopp's side. After the gravity fruit was removed, Yixiao also lifted the weak Usopp, and then continued to walk towards Chopper.

Luffy is a person with special abilities. At this moment, he is already handcuffed with seastone handcuffs and is the least threatening one. Compared to him, Chopper, who looks like a monster, is the most threatening one.

"roar!!!"

Sensing Yixiao approaching, Chopper struggled hard and let out a roar.

Even under the terrifying power exerted by the gravity fruit, Chopper was struggling violently, trying to climb out of the gravity area.

Seeing Yixiao walking towards him, Chopper now realized who the enemy attacking him was.

He also heard the people around him calling Yixiao, and knew that the man in front of him was the admiral of the New Navy. Although he was shocked, at this moment, Chopper had not given up the idea of ​​escaping with Luffy and Usopp.

On the contrary, it was this kind of crisis that completely and thoroughly aroused Chopper's ferocity.

Don't be fooled by his usual soft and innocent appearance like a child, but when it comes to the crew members he cherishes, Chopper is willing to give everything for them.

"Luffy, Usopp!!"

Chopper kept calling Luffy and Usopp's names over and over again. The meaning was naturally self-evident. He hoped that the two of them could leave here as soon as possible.

Seeing Yixiao walking towards him, Chopper stretched out his hand and pinched Yixiao in front of him, trying to snatch Usopp back from Yixiao's hand.

“It’s truly amazing!”

“You can still move?”

Yixiao naturally noticed Chopper's attack, but he was unmoved by it and didn't even try to dodge.

When the huge palm was coming, Yixiao just pointed the cane in his hand forward lightly, and he easily blocked the huge palm from Chopper.

A terrifying hurricane suddenly arose on the street. Yixiao, whose body was not worth mentioning in front of Chopper, was able to withstand the attack from the opponent with such a nonchalant move. The huge visual impact brought by the disparity in size also made the surrounding people exclaim in surprise.

The hurricane that was set off on the street at this time also demonstrated the powerful force of Chopper's attack.

The fact that Yixiao was able to easily block such an attack also proved the huge gap in strength between the two of them, which could be described as "separated by an insurmountable chasm".

"it's useless."

"Stop wasting your energy."

Yixiao shook his head slightly, increasing the gravity on Chopper. Chopper only felt a terrifying force coming from the center of the earth. His raised hand slammed down on the ground in front of Yixiao. He wanted to get up again, but he couldn't do it no matter what.

"How awful!"

Chopper struggled hard, gritted his teeth and let out a low growl, with traces of blood flowing from his nose, as if he had exerted too much force.

After struggling for a while, Chopper seemed to realize that he had no way to break free, so he tried other ways to escape.

The huge body suddenly shrank and turned back into the appearance of a small reindeer. However, the terrifying gravity from the center of the earth did not change at all because of his body size change.

Even though his body had shrunk, he still couldn't escape the influence of Yixiao's ability.

Just as Chopper was about to try other ways to escape, Yixiao's figure suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Chopper in just a blink of an eye. The pistol in his hand quickly pointed at Chopper's shoulder blade, and the terrifying force directly knocked Chopper, who was struggling hard, unconscious.

The terrifying force exerted by the gravity fruit on Chopper disappeared without a trace at this moment. Yixiao looked down at Chopper who had lost consciousness, bent down slightly, picked up Chopper, and held him around his waist.

And at the moment when Ilxiao attacked Chopper, Bakara also walked out of the tavern, came to Luffy's side, and picked up the shouting Luffy in her hands.

Perhaps Luffy's screams were too annoying, so Bakara took out a handkerchief from somewhere and stuffed it directly into Luffy's mouth, blocking his screams.

"Bakara, lock these three guys up in the prison here for now."

"Send him to Cake Island Prison tomorrow morning."

"Notify Base Commander Smoker and have him conduct an overnight inspection of all ships docked in the harbor."

"There should be more than just the three of them in the Straw Hat Pirates."

"The other members of the Straw Hat Pirates may already be in Bankoku."

"We must take this matter seriously. This group caused such a big commotion on Fishman Island, and now they're showing up in Wan Guo, they must have some ulterior motive."

"We must be cautious and never allow them to cause trouble in Wan Guo."

Yixiao no longer needs to worry about the remaining materials. The man stationed on Hazelnut Island is named Smoker, and he is also an elite general in the new navy. Relying on his outstanding achievements, he even got a natural devil fruit, the Smoke Fruit, from his superiors.

There have been fewer sea trips in recent years, and Smoker has become the commander of the garrison base on Hazelnut Island. He is considered one of the important and powerful figures in the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Nations.

And not long after Ikki and Bakara dealt with Luffy and his crew, Smoker, who had received a "call to the police" from the public, finally arrived with his men.

After noticing that the young pirate in Bakara's hand was actually Straw Hat Luffy, Smoker was shocked. He immediately arranged for the soldiers to escort him back to the branch base, and planned to personally escort him to the Cake Island headquarters early tomorrow morning.

After imprisoning Luffy and others, Smoker also led his team out at night to search for the whereabouts of his fellow Straw Hat Pirates.

At the same time as the navy took action, the commotion on the commercial street naturally attracted the attention of the Straw Hat Pirates and others.

After returning to the ship, Nami and the others found that Luffy and the others were not on the ship, so they specially got off the ship to look for them. The battle on the commercial street was so loud that it was impossible for them not to notice it.

In fact, when Smoker was leading the Straw Hat Pirates and others back to the branch, Nami, who was hiding in the crowd, had already seen her captain being captured.

Thinking that something was wrong, Nami immediately used Den Den Mushi to contact her other companions. Before the new navy could thoroughly inspect the port, she followed a night-traveling fleet and left the port.
