Chapter 15 Red Hair Pirates
While the navy was having a headache over Captain Yale and the World Economic News, other forces at sea also changed their initial dismissive attitude and began to take this suddenly emerging narcissistic psychopath seriously.
Although the flow of intelligence at sea has always been slow, for those major forces, they always have ways to quickly obtain first-hand intelligence.
The missing East China Sea island, the incapacitated admiral, and the subdued Morgans—all of these things were true, not exaggerated rumors spread by word of mouth.
How did that person do it?
No one could figure it out, just like they couldn't find each other's whereabouts no matter how hard they tried.
Of course, the way to meet the other party is actually very simple - say "Save me" to the Den Den Mushi, and Captain Yale will appear.
But for those big forces, what they want is not to meet with the other party, but to secretly control the other party's whereabouts.
What's more, which force would be willing to say such a humble thing?
It would be fine if you can win, but it would be too embarrassing if you can't - are you going to lure a powerful enemy to occupy you?
Especially when you haven't even investigated the other party's background and capabilities clearly, acting rashly will only sacrifice yourself and help other forces that are eyeing you covetously.
All smart people think so, and whether it is a pirate group or an underground organization, there is no shortage of such smart people.
Under this unspoken understanding, all forces remained silent, waiting for the first person to lose patience and test the other party's strength.
They won't wait too long, because the first one to get restless will definitely be the navy, which claims to be the side of justice.
The first thing that Yale touched upon and provoked was the interests of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. As one of the weapons of the government and the Celestial Dragons, the Navy naturally could not stay out of it.
And there is another force that cannot stay out of it - the Red Hair Pirates.
The World Economic Herald did not report the specific names of the missing islands in the East China Sea, but through the intelligence they collected, they still determined the names of those islands.
The Kingdom of Goa, Conker Island, Gothic Island, Moonlight Islands, perhaps when this information is transmitted back, the number of missing islands will continue to increase.
Ten years ago, the Red Hair Pirates stayed in Windmill Village of Goa Kingdom for a long time.
They have a good relationship with the villagers there, especially a child named Luffy and the tavern owner Makino.
Now that the Kingdom of Goa is missing, they can't just sit back and watch.
In addition, the village of Sirob on the Moonlight Islands is the hometown of Jesus, a member of the pirate group.
The other party's son lives on that island - although the East China Sea intelligence that has been frequently investigated recently mentioned that Jesus' son went out to sea with Luffy by chance, the safety of that island is still worthy of their attention.
These two things combined make it impossible for the Red Hair Pirates to stay out of it.
They had to meet with Captain Yale, whether it was a peaceful and friendly conversation or a fight, it was better than ignoring the death of their friend.
"Let me tell you!"
Looking at a Den Den Mushi that was sleeping soundly on a wooden stake, Jesus Bu showed a solemn expression.
The pirates looked at him seriously and nodded with the same solemn attitude.
Jesus Bu grabbed the microphone and shouted in a powerful voice: "Yale, I know you are listening! I am Jesus Bu, the sniper of the Red Hair Pirates. We hope to meet you!"

"Mission accomplished!"
Inside the shipboard spacecraft, Yale successfully pieced together the newly occupied island with other islands.
He now occupies a total of about eight islands in the East China Sea, two of which are archipelagos.
It's slow, of course, but that's okay.
He is just playing now. If he really wants to occupy the city, it will be more efficient to use starships to crush it.
It would feel a bit wasteful if all these occupied islands had to be cut into pieces and then pieced together again, so now, Yale basically doesn't cut the islands anymore, but instead finds a similar place and connects them together directly.
Anyway, it looks like a small connection on the map, but in reality it is a large area.
This will also facilitate the subsequent establishment of border checkpoints, as we won’t have to build so many to manage them.
When it comes to construction issues, Yale couldn't help but sigh. The construction efficiency of the natives of the planet was really too low.
For example, the road from the town to the windmill village in the Kingdom of Goa has been under construction for more than ten days and has not been completed yet. I really don’t know how they survived until now.
It’s a pity that he didn’t bring much with him when he went out this time, otherwise he could just let the intelligent machines take over the production and build the road in minutes.
"Dear Captain Yale, the Den Den Mushi has received a signal from the indigenous people." The ship's elf flew over and played the recording after Yale agreed.
"Yale, I know you're listening! I'm Jesus, the sniper of the Red Hair Pirates, and we hope to meet you!"
The powerful voice immediately echoed inside the carrier-based spacecraft.
Yale frowned, then waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Don't report to me about things like this—only those who truly understand respect are worthy of my personal visit."
"Understood, respected Captain Yale!" The shipboard elf immediately removed the information from its to-do list.
It then began its second report, "Captain Yale, Morgans has sent us the locations of Devil Fruit users in the East China Sea. Should we depart now?"
"Of course I'll tell you!"
Sliding through the bounty notices that appeared on the projection in front of him, Yale couldn't wait to eat the new fruit.

Nothing happened.
Den Den Mushi half-opened its eyes, with an arrogant expression that said, "If you want to call, do it quickly, and if not, don't disturb my sleep."
Jesus Bu could only hang up the microphone temporarily and look at his fellow pirates.
"It seems that this is completely useless. Our only option to see him is that -"
He made a face as if he had eaten a fly, "Respected... Anyway, that's what I said."
This was nothing short of a humiliation for the pirates who were used to being free and arrogant and had already sworn allegiance to the captain.
Even in more extreme cases, if someone puts a knife to their necks, they would never say such words.
Beckman analyzed, "It's also possible that he could see the situation we were in and knew it was a trap, so he didn't want to show up at all."
"Is this possible?" Laki didn't quite believe that the other party had such strength.
Even if the other party can control the Den Den Mushi, it is too exaggerated to be able to monitor the surroundings through the Den Den Mushi at all times.
"Perhaps the reason he was able to control the World Economic News is because he used Den Den Mushi to locate the World Economic News headquarters."
Beckman thought for a moment and said, "We can find a chaotic island and have the people there send a distress message to Yale."
"Let's do it this way. The longer this goes on, the more dangerous our friends may be."
Shanks simply made the decision, and the Red Hair Pirates immediately began to pack up and prepare to set sail to find a chaotic island - which is easy to find in the New World.
Just as they were packing up, a pirate on guard came running over.
"Boss! Hawkeye—Hawkeye wants to see you!"
As a swordsman with a cold personality who always keeps to himself, Hawkeye Mihawk's most common interaction with others is swordplay.
Red-Haired Shanks is his swordsmanship opponent whom he has fought many times.
But he didn't come here to fight this time - he had no interest in practicing swordsmanship with a one-armed man.
In sight, the pirates of the Red Hair Pirates were packing up their things.
Mihawk soon saw the person he was looking for and he got straight to the point.
"I've met him, the pirate captain Yale."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the black knife behind him.
Shanks was stunned for a moment, frowning and looking solemnly at the black knife pulled out by Mihawk.
He had already seen through his observation Haki that Mihawk's black sword was broken in half.
The pirates who did not have the ability to predict the future also reacted immediately when they saw the black knife, and all showed shocked expressions.
"Broken?" Laki raised his voice in surprise.
"That Yale did it?!"
Hawkeye Mihawk's sword is one of the Twelve Supreme Swords. It is a black sword that has been forged over the years with Mihawk's own power. Ordinary attacks cannot even cause a scratch on the sword.
But even such a black knife was broken in half by the opponent, and the broken end was so smooth and flat that it seemed as if it was done in one go.
"It only took one move, and it wasn't even done by him himself. It was just a very strange metal ball next to him."
Mihawk put the black knife back, not sure how to describe what happened that day, but one thing was certain.
"He is indeed very strong. If you plan to attack him, do not underestimate him."
"I understand." Shanks responded in a serious voice.
The captain of the Red Hair Pirates, who usually would drag Hawkeye out for a drink whenever he met him, had no intention of keeping Mihawk this time.
Mihawk didn't want to stay here any longer, and it seemed that the Red Hair Pirates were planning to pack up and leave.
He finally handed a bounty order to Shanks and left without looking back.
Shanks held the bounty warrant with Monkey D. Luffy's smiling face printed on it, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but he quickly returned to his rare seriousness.
He already knew that Luffy had gone to sea, after all, they were investigating intelligence in the East China Sea.
It can be said that Luffy's going to sea was already within his expectations.
But the man who suddenly appeared on the sea was an unexpected variable.
Are the Celestial Dragons in the government really going against each other, as they said in Den Den Mushi, to bring equality and order to all those who are suffering?
Soon, Shanks stopped thinking about this nagging problem.
No matter what the other party wants to do, it is always better to meet in person than to stay here and guess blindly.
