super pocket watch

After wandering around and sitting for a while in some taverns in the town that specialized in selling all kinds of information, Tang Bai already had a clearer understanding of this town, or the West Sea where this town is located. Of course.

, it is impossible for the owner of the tavern to provide him with too much time-sensitive or secret information.

But Tang Bai didn't need this either.

For him now, some ordinary, basic information is more useful than information that is either time-sensitive or secret.

As a prosperous transit trade town, the time-sensitive information in the tavern here is nothing more than information about a certain place that is related to business and needs a certain product. As for important information that is confidential, Tang Bai really doesn't think it can be done in

What can you find out about this kind of tavern?

If truly secret information is really circulated in a place like a pub where information is unobstructed, it cannot be called important and valuable secret information. If a person really enters a bar in a certain place,

Then he obtained secret information from the owner of the tavern that was unknown to others and that he urgently needed. Then there would be at least one of the following four possibilities.

The first type is that the person is the protagonist in the book who has unbeatable luck.

Second, the owner of the tavern is teasing you.

The third type is that this tavern is a secret power that has been setting up spies for many years and wants to have a relationship with that person.

The fourth type, this secret message is a bait deliberately released for those who are willing to take the bait.

The sound of dense footsteps sounded outside the pub, and then the wooden door of the pub was pushed open from the outside. A team of ten, soldiers in navy uniforms, rushed in holding the firearms in their hands. The leader was a sergeant.

After taking a quick glance at the tavern, he pointed towards Tang Bai, who was chatting happily with the tavern owner in front of the counter.

The barrels of the guns were raised neatly and uniformly. The muzzles of the guns were pointed at where the sergeant's finger was pointing.

The tavern, which was originally chatting and noisy, suddenly became quiet. The tavern owner, who was smiling and entertaining Tang Bai, his big customer, suddenly saw the muzzles of nearly ten guns pointed at him.

On his cheerful face, the smile suddenly stopped.

"Turn around." A calm man's voice sounded in the quiet tavern.

"The response is unexpectedly fast. This makes me somewhat interested in your commander." Tang Bai turned around on his chair, put his arms back and rested them on the counter behind him. He glanced at the items and took them.

The gun was pointed at him. Several navy soldiers slowly surrounded him.

"Capture him and interrogate his origins and details." The sergeant who had spoken before gave the order again. And this man seemed to have great prestige in the hearts of the soldiers he brought, and he had little regard for his orders.

Give a little discount and do it without even asking.

"I just came here." Tang Bai seemed not to notice the naval soldier bullying him, and just stared at the middle-aged naval sergeant with a resolute and steady face.

"Of course we know. We came in a lifeboat with the logo of the Calis Pirates. Although we haven't found any bounties on you yet, this is a sensitive period. Anyone related to the pirates,

They are all worthy of suspicion. Please don't resist." The leader of the navy said indifferently.

Nearly seven years have passed since the crazy era started by Gol D. Roger. But in the past seven years, people who flock to the ocean every year to find the secret of One Piece are getting crazier every year.

. Just like a fountain, this era created by Gol D. Roger has still not reached its peak moment yet.

The moment it fails to reach the ultimate city, it means that this madness will only climb higher and higher, instead of sinking into decline.

The World Government that initially decided to publicly execute the Pirate King Gol D. Roger was just to contain and warn the pirates who were becoming more and more rampant and suppress their rising momentum. Who would have thought that Gol D. Roger would be killed?

His words before his death destroyed all their expectations and efforts.

Not only did the pirate power not suffer a blow, but it soared into the sky in a crazier and more unstoppable manner than when Gol D. Roger was alive.

If the previous world government and its navy still had an absolute advantage in facing the pirates on the sea, and could even hunt down powerful men like the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, then Gol D. Roger is now the leader.

With the curtain raised by one's own hands, the current situation has completely begun to go on a rampage.

The death of Pirate King Gol D. Roger means the end of an era, but it is also the beginning of an era. The former is an era when the navy suppresses and pursues pirates, while the latter is an era when the navy retreats and pirates compete with the navy.

And when the Navy begins to recruit the Shichibukai in the future and plans to use pirates to coerce pirates, whether they are willing to admit it or not, the strength of the major pirates has risen to a level that even the top brass of the Navy cannot ignore or even tolerate.

A huge threat. This was an era that had never made them so depressed and aggrieved even when Gol D. Roger was crossing the sea.

In the face of increasingly crazier pirates, what the world government and even the navy can do is to increase the collection of pirates and increase the punishment of pirates again and again. In today's situation, such

In a tense environment, anyone who has anything to do with pirates will be the subject of intensive surveillance and even interrogation.

Trading Town is the most fertile and prosperous island town in this sea area, and it is also the fattest piece of meat in the eyes of many pirates in this sea area. The pirate group that sails for the so-called simple, positive freedom and dreams, that is

A rare species among pirates.

Perhaps the era that Gol D. Roger started with his death was just to awaken people like him who were just chasing freedom and dreams, but the subsequent development was ultimately unable to go as he wished.

Of course, it is more likely that Gol D. Roger knew very well how disintegrating the era he started would be. All he hoped for was that among those who would run to the sea because of him in the future, some would be able to do so.

The person who will inherit his legacy appears.

"Before you formally arrest me, can I ask a question?" Tang Bai raised his hand.

"You can ask." He seemed to think that Tang Bai, who was raising his hands, was very cooperative, or maybe it was because Tang Bai's body, which looked a bit thin and was wearing a small black suit, did not have any direct threat. The commander of the navy sergeant motioned to the soldiers to step up their actions.

, replied.

"Who is the chief here?" Tang Bai smiled warmly.

"As a pirate, don't you ask for information about this place before coming here?" The navy sergeant who was asked by Tang Bai was stunned for a moment, and gave Tang Bai a meaningful look: "The leader here is

Colonel Scott is as strong as the brigadier general of the branch."

As he said that, the navy sergeant had already decided that Tang Bai was probably a newbie who had just become a pirate and was tricked by his friends without knowing it. Of course, he would not feel pity for Tang Bai's experience.

, or any other emotion such as sympathy. In his opinion, it would be best if all the pirates on the sea who brought unrest and threats to the world were caught and killed.

"Brigadier general of the branch? Then my 'painstaking efforts' are really not wasted." Tang Bai laughed brightly when he heard this.

Seeing the bright smile on Tang Bai's face, the navy man felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. Before he could even say the word "be careful", his eyes widened in shock at the scene that happened in front of him.

Nine navy soldiers who had gone through rigorous training were instantly shot away by the smiling man in front of them before they even had time to pull the trigger. As for how the other party did it, the sergeant had no idea.

As far as he knew, all he could capture was an afterimage that was as vague as a dream.

despair!

The toes landed lightly.

"Although I haven't fought hand-to-hand with anyone for a long time, my skills are not as good as Panasonic's." Tang Bai squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the only marine still standing on the field. The sergeant who was targeted by Tang Bai

, his eyes met Tang Bai's gaze, his body suddenly trembled, and he subconsciously adjusted the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger.

The entire movement is very familiar and fluid, not only from the body's instinctive reaction, but also from self-protection in the face of threats.

Bang!

The deafening sound of gunfire rang out.

Tang Bai tilted his head slightly. The bullet that came out of the barrel rubbed his hair and flew behind him.

When a person's physical fitness, reflexes, and eyesight are all high enough to a certain level, firearms and other weapons that are considered lethal to ordinary people are as dangerous as nothing.

"Can you lead the way?" Tang Bai gently patted the trembling sergeant with his palm, "I need to visit Colonel Scott here."

The sergeant who was hit on the shoulder by Tang Bai suddenly trembled, his eyes widened in shock, and he glanced at Tang Bai blankly, as if he was very surprised by his request.

Visit Colonel Scott?

What does this unknown pirate want to do?

Since the sergeant became a naval officer, he has never seen such a crazy and bewildered pirate.

Or is there something special about the other party's identity, and he is not a pirate?

"For a pirate like me who has thrown myself into a trap, shouldn't this request be easily satisfied?" Looking at the sergeant with a gloomy expression, Tang Bai blinked and looked around the silent tavern with an understatement.

, the tone when he spoke again was calm and calm, but he couldn't help but bring a kind of threat to people: "Promise me, I will let the civilians here, and what about the soldiers?"
