"Hide in the Sea Forest?"
The Flying Dutchman pirates' cadres gave their captain the advice to avoid the sharp sword first.
Even though the specific situation is still unclear now, it is not known whether the captured fishmen will reveal the location of their gang, and it is also not known whether the navy of Marinford will take any action after knowing the existence of their pirate group.
To be on the safe side, it is a better choice to leave the base in Fishman Street first.
If we just do this, we probably won’t be able to take away the “goods” imprisoned in the dungeon.
In broad daylight, Fishman Street was already densely populated. Although a large number of them had already joined their pirate group, if they took those "goods" with them, the news might leak out in advance.
This is actually the reason why Vander Decken IX lowered his head and looked conflicted.
Even though there are “only” a dozen or so items locked up in the dungeon, if they can be successfully shipped out of Fishman Island and sold, their value can easily exceed 100 million.
Mermaid girls would easily become the top-selling item at any auction. There was no shortage of wealthy nobles in this world, and these dozen or so items were incredibly popular at sea.
Vander Decken IX was really unwilling to give up the hundreds of millions of berries that were within his grasp just because those useless subordinates were captured.
Vander Decken IX became more and more angry as he thought about it. In a rage, he jumped up from the sofa and kicked the coffee table in front of him several times.
It wasn't until the coffee table was kicked and shattered by Vander Decken IX that he stopped unwillingly. His red eyes quickly turned to his cadres:
"Where's Aaron?"
"Have you contacted that guy?"
Vander Decken IX was unwilling to give up the benefits that had already been taken into his bowl, and tried to hold on to the last hope with red eyes.
One transaction is worth over 100 million, which is naturally beyond the reach of The Flying Dutchman Pirates alone. On Fishman Island, it is not easy to do some "small business" without telling others.
Both the New Navy and Ryugu City have partners of Vander Decken IX.
It is precisely because of the cooperation between the pirates, the New Navy and Ryugugu Castle that the human trafficking business can proceed smoothly.
And Vander Decken IX's partner in the new navy is Captain Fishman, Aaron.
In the Fishman Island branch, there are no middle-level officers. The top one is Jinbe, who is at the general level. Under him, the highest-ranking officer is actually the captain.
Aaron is one of the many captains in the branch. Although his rank is not high, the power he holds is extremely terrifying.
Moreover, like Jinbei, he was born in Fishman Street, and Jinbei also has an inexplicable trust in Arlong.
The human trafficking business of Fishman Island has been able to operate to this day, and Captain Aaron’s help is absolutely indispensable.
In the eyes of Vander Decken IX, as long as he could contact Aaron, he would not have to give up the goods in his hands. At the very least, he could get some useful information from Aaron, the "insider".
However, Vander Decken IX's wish was ultimately unfulfilled.
"Captain, no news."
"Did that bastard really 'jump ship'?"
The subordinate's answer made Vander Decken IX's face even gloomier. Although he had guessed it in his heart, when he really heard the news, Vander Decken IX still couldn't calm himself down.
“Asshole!!! Asshole!!!”
Vander Decken IX roared, and all the officers in the room remained silent, not wanting to offend their captain when he was angry.
"Captain, we still need to make a decision soon."
"Heaton was arrested last night. Even if he's tough, he might be caught by the navy."
"This is our best chance to leave before the navy takes action."
"As long as we go to the Sea Forest, no one will be able to find us."
The people of Fishman Island actually call the Sea Forest another place: the Ship Graveyard. The ocean currents have a strange pattern: whenever the undercurrent flows through the Sea Forest, it often carries sunken ships with it, sweeping them here.
Over the years, the name "Ship Graveyard" has spread.
Moreover, the Sea Forest is large enough and has complex terrain. Sea kings often come here to forage. As long as they hide here, no one can find them. Even if Jinbei leads the Fishman Navy, it is impossible to thoroughly search the Sea Forest.
This is actually the last retreat for these fish-man pirates.
It is precisely because of the existence of such a retreat that they dare to get involved in such a "big business".
Vander Decken IX's cadres were obviously worried and did not want to gamble with their lives, so they wanted to leave Fishman Street.
Although the goods are valuable, how much can these cadres and minions get?!
In their view, such a big risk is not worth taking.
"whispering sound!"
"unlucky!"
"Contact Hodie Jones for me and ask him to help."
"If the navy hasn't discovered this place, let him take care of our cargo!"
"Those guys are very active when it comes to distributing money, but once something goes wrong, they are unreliable!"
Vander Decken IX was very decisive. After he couldn't contact Aaron, he immediately decided to leave. The Hodi Jones he mentioned was another partner in this business, the captain of the Dragon Palace City Guard, the fishman Hodi Jones.
Like Aaron and Vander Decken, Hody Jones also comes from Fishman Street!
These three people can be said to be like-minded. After their lives diverged in their youth, they now have new intersections and ties.
"yes!"
Vander Decken IX walked towards the door and was about to lead his people to evacuate when suddenly the door of the room was pushed open by someone.
Aaron, wearing a long-sleeved shirt and a hat, hurried into the room. His hurried appearance startled Vander Decken IX, who had just arrived at the door. After seeing Aaron's face clearly, Vander Decken IX's face no longer had any previous anger. A smile instantly appeared on his face, and he greeted Aaron enthusiastically:
"Brother! Brother Aaron, I've finally got you here!"
As he spoke, Vander Decken IX opened his arms and rushed towards Aaron. His eyes swept over Aaron's arm, and it seemed as if his sight could penetrate Aaron's sleeve and see the bandage wrapped around his arm.
"Don't try to get close to me."
"I still have a debt to settle with you!"
Facing the enthusiastic Vander Decken IX, Aaron uttered these two words with a cold face through gritted teeth.
As he spoke, Aaron raised his right hand slightly, put a small pill in his mouth and swallowed it.
The poisonous medicine went down his throat.
"Well--"
The effect of the medicine spread instantly, and Aaron let out a comfortable moan. The feeling of his whole body being infused with strength made Aaron extremely intoxicated.
Aaron glanced coldly at Vander Decken IX in front of him, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth and bit Vander Decken IX's shoulder.
The speed was so fast that even Vander Decken IX was unable to react in time.
"What are you doing? Aaron!!"
When Vander Decken IX saw Aaron taking drugs, his pupils shrank slightly. He couldn't help but let out a low cry and dodged repeatedly.
But Aaron himself is a shark-man, and he is still agile even on land. With the increase in speed due to the murderous medicine, his speed completely suppresses Vander Decken IX.
"laugh!!!"
In just a blink of an eye, Arlong had already approached Vander Decken IX, and his sharp teeth bit directly into the opponent's shoulder. The fangs instantly pierced Vander Decken IX's body, and blood spurted out. The frightened cadres of The Flying Dutchman Pirates stood up in anger.
“What?!”
"Just take back what you owe me!"
Aaron had no intention of killing him. After the blow, he loosened his mouth, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, grabbed his arm, and said with a smile.
Vander Decken IX covered his shoulder and retreated to the side of the cadres. Feeling the severe pain from his shoulder, he turned his head to glance at the injury on his shoulder and broke out in a cold sweat.
Regarding Aaron's remarks, Vander Decken IX knew exactly what the other party meant by "owe".
Raising his hand towards his subordinates who were ready to attack, Vander Decken IX suppressed his anger, forced a smile, and said with a smile:
"Isn't it because I can't contact you, Captain Aaron? Are you worried?"
"We are all brothers. It's just a misunderstanding!"
"Have you calmed down? Let's talk business."
Vander Decken IX was a patient man. He knew very well that if the business wanted to continue, Aaron would be a key figure.
When facing the angry Aaron, he mainly tried to comfort him.
"Let's talk about business later."
"Get rid of the rat first!"
Aaron's face darkened slightly. He ignored Vander Decken IX in front of him, but turned his head slightly and looked outside the door.
Because of the potent drug, not only did Aaron's physical strength and speed increase dramatically, but his other functions also skyrocketed.
It was not until now that Aaron suddenly realized that he was being followed!!!
"mouse?!"
Vander Decken IX was stunned. Before he could react, Aaron suddenly rushed to the wall and punched it directly.
"boom!!!"
At the moment the wall collapsed, a slender black shadow darted out from behind it and rushed into the room, heading straight for Vander Decken IX. A whip, like a venomous snake, shot directly towards Vander Decken IX's face.
"Who is it!!" Vander Decken IX let out a low roar. Due to his shoulder injury, he was unable to dodge the sudden attack.
Fortunately, his subordinates reacted quickly. They were already wary of Aaron's sudden attack, and faced with the surprise attack, the cadres also reacted quickly.
A blue-circled octopus man rushed out from the side of Vander Decken IX, and the octopus tentacles grabbed two long swords and blocked Vander Decken IX's body.
This blue-circled octopus fishman is named Bao Zang. He is one of the core cadres of Vander Decken's organization and is also from Fishman Island.
Although he worked under Vander Decken, he used to be Hody Jones's follower in Fishman Street, and was later placed on Vander Decken's side. However, Vander Decken IX was not aware of this. He only knew that Bao Zang was his right-hand man!
"No wonder so many things happened on Fishman Island, and our new navy couldn't solve them!"
"It turns out there's a traitor!"
The whip was blocked by Bao Zang's long sword, and the whip was retracted. The pirates finally saw who the attacker was.
This is a blonde girl wearing a floral low-cut dress and miniskirt. She has a graceful figure and beautiful face.
Seeing that the attacker was a woman, Vander Decken raised his eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief. Aaron, who was not far away, saw the blonde girl and his face suddenly changed. He shouted:
"Kill her! This guy is a new navy!"
"It's from all over the world!"
"This guy must have heard our conversation just now!"
The blonde girl who followed Aaron to Fishman Street was Peacock. He was entrusted by Vergo to monitor Aaron, and thought it would be an easy job, but he didn't expect that the surveillance would bring him such a big reward!
Being a spy in the new navy is not an easy task!
If you want to stand out in the new navy, you have to have military merits. Their promotion method is somewhat "only based on military merit". If Peacock wants to obtain valuable information for Marineford, he needs to make more achievements and move to a high position.
Now, isn't this opportunity to make a contribution here?!
The branch captain is colluding with pirates, this is a major case.
This is the first time in the short history of the new navy.
"Get started!"
After hearing what Aaron said, Vander Decken realized the seriousness of his gaffe.
If his subordinates being captured by Marinford's navy posed some threat to him, then what was happening now was truly a matter of life and death.
If this woman escaped, Aaron and his group would be hunted down by the new navy. Tsugumi Kuniichi was known for his strict military discipline, so there was no need to elaborate on what they would face if they were exposed.
“Hehehe!”
"Good boy, kill!"
The merfolk instantly surrounded Peacock. It must be said that Peacock, worthy of being Crane's granddaughter, had received an elite education since childhood. Facing the eager-watching merfolk pirates, not only was there no sign of panic on her face, but she even let out bursts of laughter.
“?!”
No one knows what Peacock's ambiguous words mean.
Bao Zang, who was protecting Vander Decken, was about to take action when the two long swords in his hands suddenly stabbed towards Vander Decken behind him.
“????”
The two long swords in Bao Zang's hands did not obey his command at all. Although Vander Decken dodged in time with his keen sixth sense, the long swords still stabbed his arms and waist.
Although the wound was not very deep and was not fatal, this sudden change surprised Vanderdecken.
"Leopard hide!!!"
Vander Decken let out a loud roar, and Bao Zang realized something at this moment, and directly threw away the two long swords that had previously taken Peacock's attack.
"There's something wrong with this guy!"
"Maybe he's an esper!"
The fish people have been roaming the sea for many years and have gained some experience. Bao Zang's first reaction after losing his long knife was to remind his companions.
At this time, Aaron, who had been ready for a long time, swooped down and attacked Peacock from behind in an instant.
If anyone among those present wanted Peacock to die the most, it would definitely be him, A-Long!
Aaron knew how powerful the new navy was, and it was precisely because he knew how serious the consequences would be that he fought so desperately at this moment.
If he fails, his life will enter the countdown.
As long as he can kill Peacock, he will encounter some troubles, but his life will not be threatened. As long as there is no evidence left, he will be safe.
The new navy attaches great importance to rules, which is a blessing and benefit for people like him.
"Hehehe, I will teach you a lesson!"
"Pirates!"
