"This one! This one is delicious too!"
Lida was still darting around. They were currently in a street full of food stalls, and this white-haired, big-eater loli had been eating her way from one end of the street to the other.
"This one is good too!"
Lida grabbed a steamed bun from a stall, quickly tossed down a wad of cash, and ran off again.
That stack of money, each bill worth one thousand Berries, totaled at least twenty thousand.
The boss was still in a daze when a little bit of ecstasy rose within him, but it was quickly ruined by the two navy men who came over.
"Use the remaining money to buy steamed buns," a navy officer said.
The shopkeeper glanced at the white-haired loli in a navy cloak eating haphazardly in front, then at the two navy men, and smiled: "Yes! Thank you for your patronage!"
In any case, having business is a good thing.
At that moment, in a small corner of the street, a furtive man stared intently at Lida, who was spending lavishly, his eyes gleaming with greed.
His eyes were bloodshot and he was breathing rapidly.
His body was taut, like a wild beast aiming at its prey, and the sweat on his forehead grew heavier with each breath.
Just as he was about to take a step, Lida suddenly stopped.
She had too many things in her hands, and just as she was about to take out a steamed bun to eat, the oil paper package she was carrying fell to the ground, rolled out, and rolled right into the alley, landing in front of the man's feet.
"Ah... my roast chicken." Lida looked over there and met the man's gaze.
That gaze was like that of a wild beast.
The man moved. He crouched slightly, as if about to charge at Lida. He took a step, and in that instant, Lida's legs tensed, ready to subdue him with a kick when he charged.
The man bent down, picked up the oil paper package, and ran away as fast as he could.
"Huh?"
Lida tilted her head, stunned for about two seconds, before realizing what was happening and yelling, "My roast chicken!!"
She kicked up her legs instantly, leaving a blur, and a blue slash followed.
But the man was nowhere to be seen. While Lida was still in a daze, he turned into a corner and disappeared.
Bang!
The frenzied blue slashes tore cracks into the clean alleyway.
This sudden turn of events brought the bustling food street to a standstill.
"How dare they... how dare they..."
Lida's face darkened, her white hair danced without wind, and her oppressive aura reverberated throughout the alley.
Just then, Kro hung up the phone. He saw Lida's gloomy face, and for some reason, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly ran over.
"Miss Lida?"
"How dare you steal my food! No one but Kuro can take food from me!"
Lida roared, "Search! Even if you have to turn this ship upside down, find the person who stole my roast chicken!"
Stealing roast chicken?
Kro leaned back tactically, but after thinking about it, he realized that only Mr. Kuro and food could make this woman so angry.
"Understood."
Kuro nodded and said, "It just so happens that Mr. Kuro has issued a search warrant..."
He walked to the alley entrance, his body slightly burst open, his fingers grew sharp nails, the exposed skin was covered by fur, and the upper half of his face transformed into the shape of a wolf's head.
He sniffed around at the alley entrance and said, "They haven't gone far, they're nearby. We can catch them."
As he spoke, he pointed in a direction.
Whoosh!
As soon as he pointed, a blur swept past him, splitting into several black shadows at the alley entrance. In a flash, one shadow appeared, and after the blurs disappeared, Lida's figure vanished as well.
"Black Rope Sky Flash?"
Chloe pursed her lips, using this tactic to chase down the person who stole her roast chicken...
For a moment, Kro didn't know whether to be envious or resentful.
He hasn't learned it yet!
"Inform Colonel Wilbur."
Kuro addressed the navy personnel behind him: "Mr. Kuro has ordered a full search of Gran Tesoro. We must find the human trafficking ring and detain any suspicious individuals. Start the search in the commercial district and gradually move towards the upscale areas."
"Yes, sir!!" The navy officer stood at attention, saluted, and began dialing the phone.
...
"Bolo bolo bolo..."
"Moshi moshi, this is Wilbur."
On the Golden Lion, Wilbur answered the phone.
Although Mr. Kuro gave him a break to travel, as a responsible navy officer, he only wandered around for a couple of minutes before returning to the Golden Lion. Guarding the ship gave him more peace of mind than playing around.
Having fun is nothing compared to being loyal to Mr. Kuro!
"Yes! Understood, I'll take care of it right away!"
Wilbur listened to the voice on the other end of the line, his expression turning solemn. After hanging up, he dialed other Navy numbers.
"Notify all units, including Lieutenant General Momousagi's forces, to begin a full-scale search. We must find the human trafficking group. Regardless of their identities, treat anyone who resists as an enemy!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone, got up from his seat in the cabin, and walked out with a straight posture.
Soon, the remaining navy personnel on the Golden Lion gradually gathered.
"Now is the time for justice to prevail!"
Wilbur said in a deep voice, "We must perfectly carry out Mr. Kuro's orders. Now, begin the blockade!"
...
"Brother Jiaji, who's going to guard the entrance to the premium area?"
"Golf course," Kuro said, standing up.
