Chapter 179 A difficult incident, a crime that cannot be found!
The world of One Piece is a world full of contradictions. It has both fairy-tale adventures and the Shura scenes that are now unfolding before Yoriichi Tsugikuni and the others.
For powerful people, this world is like a dream, and all the beauty you can imagine can be found in this world.
Endless wealth? Tremendous power? A life surrounded by beautiful women? All of this is open to the strong.
But behind this dream world, most ordinary people can only experience pain.
At the instruction of Yoshikazu Tsugikuni, Cyrus, a local who was returning home, jumped off the boat, found a young man dressed as a guard who was sitting on the ground to rest, and asked him what happened here.
"My friend, may I ask what happened here?"
Since last night, the guard's nerves have been in a highly tense state. After all, it was still unknown whether the pirates had really retreated at that time. The guards who were sent to the port by King Riku to appease the people have been on edge, fearing that the pirates would suddenly return.
After all, such things have happened before.
So when Cyrus came to him and asked about what happened last night, the guard was sitting on the ground, his hands limply placed on his knees, his head buried deep between his legs, blocking the sunlight.
Hearing Cyrus' question, the young guard quickly raised his head and looked at Cyrus nervously. When he saw that Cyrus was wearing a navy uniform, the guard was startled and couldn't help but whispered:
"Navy?!"
The appearance of the navy really surprised the guards.
This was Dressrosa, located in the heart of the New World. The people living there probably only saw the Navy a few times a year. In this day and age, the Navy simply didn't have the resources to send too many troops to the New World.
Establishing a branch in the New World requires an absolutely powerful force, but the Navy's high-end forces are currently quite scarce. The few forces that are available have been deployed to the four seas to consolidate the Navy's base.
The moment he saw the navy, the nervousness on the young guard's face quickly disappeared. Then he remembered the question Cyrus had just asked him and quickly replied:
"Pirates!"
"Yesterday, pirates landed at this port and plundered Dressrosa."
"These... were all done by pirates!"
When the guard said this, his tone was filled with hatred towards the pirates.
"Are they really pirates?"
"What pirate group is it? How many people are there?"
"Have many people suffered in Dressrosa? Has the royal palace been attacked? Have any prisoners been taken?"
Cyrus didn't show any surprise when he heard that the tragic scene at the port was caused by pirates. He had actually already suspected something before he even disembarked.
This only proved his guess.
However, after hearing that it was pirates who attacked Dressrosa, Cyrus asked questions repeatedly. He was eager to know the news of the pirates, so he asked Tsugumi Yoshiichi to set sail to search for the pirates.
Dressrosa is Cyrus' hometown after all, although this hometown does not bring Cyrus many good memories.
But his hometown is his hometown after all, and he absolutely cannot stand by and watch the people of his hometown suffer.
Even if we take a step back, he is also a navy, and as a navy, he absolutely cannot turn a blind eye to pirates.
"No, I don't know."
"Those pirates came and went just as quickly. By the time we received the call from King Riku and gathered at the dock, they had already disappeared."
“As for the suffering of the people.”
"I'm not sure, but starting from the dock and all the way to the edge of the city, nearby residents have suffered varying degrees of persecution."
The guards were not of high rank, so what they knew was limited, and the information they could provide to Cyrus was also quite limited.
However, when Cyrus heard the guards say that the nearby residents from the dock to the edge of the city had suffered varying degrees of persecution, his face changed slightly.
"so much?!"
Although he had not counted them personally, Cyrus was able to roughly estimate the number of victims when he heard this.
The Dressrosa port was quite a distance from the city. The fact that this group of pirates had managed to break through to the outskirts of the city was a testament to their strength.
This is Dressrosa, which has tens of thousands of troops stationed here. It is not a town like Orange Town where there are only a few police officers.
Being able to accomplish such a thing in Dressrosa, this group of pirates was quite powerful. After that, Cyrus asked for some more information, and then hurried back to the warship to report the matter to Tsugikuni Yoshiichi.
"It's really tricky!"
"There's no useful information about this group of pirates. Even if we want to hunt them down, we have no idea where to start!"
"Lieutenant General, what should we do?!"
Koshiro and his group also listened to the information that Cyrus had gathered with Yunyi. After hearing this information, Koshiro could not help but sigh and said with some helplessness.
Faced with pirates who come and go without a trace, even if Tsugakuni Yoshiichirō and his troops have enough terrifying power, they are helpless.
The ocean was vast, and the navy's intelligence sources in the New World were scarce. Navigating the New World depended on tracking compasses.
Going out to sea to look for a pirate group that has no news at all is actually no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.
“.”
"There's no other way. Human power is sometimes limited. We must recognize our own insignificance."
After listening to Cyrus' report, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi began to think about countermeasures, thinking about whether there was a good way to find this group of pirates and annihilate them.
But after thinking for a long time, Yunyi could only shake his head and sigh.
It would be great if the world had a global satellite
Yunyi couldn't help but think so in his heart.
"hateful!"
Hearing this, Cyrus couldn't help but curse, filled with anger. His anger wasn't directed at Tsugokuni Yoriichi, but rather at the pirates' abominations and his own incompetence, unable to help the people resist this disaster in time.
After hearing what Yoriichi said, the other people on the deck also fell silent.
Yunyi stood on the deck, tapping the railing lightly with one hand, his brows furrowed.
To enforce justice in the New World, not only must one possess strength, but also strong intelligence. Since the establishment of the G-ICE branch on Shuixianxing Island, finding pirates has always been a matter of luck, or waiting for them to come to them.
"Um?!"
Thinking of this, Yunyi's brows relaxed, and he patted Cyrus, who was a little depressed, and said:
"Cyrus, I understand your feelings, although we can't take the initiative to go to the sea and try our luck to find pirates."
"But we can wait for the pirates to come to us!"
"You just said that the pirates only invaded the edge of the city and didn't advance any further? Moreover, the army here didn't capture any prisoners or kill any of these pirates?"
"In that case, I think this group of pirates might plunder Dressrosa again."
"It's rich, so it poses no threat to these pirates. Furthermore, they weren't able to advance into the center of the city during their first raid."
"If I were a pirate, I would definitely come back a second time for this fat sheep waiting to be discovered!"
