Chapter 647: Going to the island, the traces were detected! (2 in 1)

In just a blink of an eye, the battle between Sanji and the Fish-Man Navy came to an end.

Although Sanji is just a "small pirate" with a bounty of only 2 million berries, his combat effectiveness cannot be simply measured by the bounty.

The Straw Hat Pirates sailed all the way here from the East China Sea, and Sanji's combat effectiveness has made a qualitative leap. His growth rate even surpassed the more than ten years he had lived in the sea restaurant.

Even in such a deep sea, Sanji can only exert 20% to 30% of his combat power at most, but even this level of strength is far beyond the reach of ordinary fish-man navy.

"Alas, I finally took action."

"This time, there is a real conflict between us and the new navy."

After knocking out the new navy who was blocking his way, Sanji, who was hanging in the sea, subconsciously raised his head to smoke a cigarette, but found that the cigarette in his hand had been extinguished due to the humidity. Shaking his head and glancing at the new navy floating around, Sanji couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, Sanji, come back soon~"

"We have to leave here quickly. It won't be long before the new navy will notice something is wrong."

On the Sunny, Nami waved and shouted at Sanji.

Hearing Nami's sweet voice, Sanji, who had originally had a sad face, immediately turned back into a dog-licking attitude. After answering "yes" loudly, he hurried back to the Sunny.

Compared to Sanji, Luffy, who gave the order personally, was not so "sentimental". Unlike Sanji, he thought very clearly.

From the day he left the Marine Headquarters and decided to become a pirate, he accepted his identity as a pirate from the bottom of his heart.

Regardless of whether they choose to take action against the new navy or not, once their identities are exposed, a battle is inevitable.

Now, it is nothing more than putting the conflicts and contradictions on the table.

Luffy knows the people of the New Navy very well. They will never shrink back when facing pirates. No matter who the enemy is, the people of the New Navy will pursue them relentlessly.

Thinking of this, Luffy turned around and said to the crew behind him:

"It is impossible for us and the new navy to coexist peacefully."

"The reason is very simple, because we are pirates!"

Luffy's words sounded like an explanation and a comfort.

After hearing these words, Usopp and the others finally came out of their anxiety and regained their spirits.

Originally.
People like Usopp and Coby still have some hope in their hearts, thinking that a pirate group with their reputation would not be favored by the new navy, and hope to pass through Fishman Island safely.

But now that this has happened, the little bit of hope in my heart can be completely abandoned.

"That's true. What's coming will come. You can't avoid it!"

Usopp adjusted his mindset and echoed.

Seeing that Usopp, who was usually the most timid and concerned about gains and losses, had become spirited, the others naturally adjusted their mindsets quickly and returned to normal.

Under Nami's guidance, the Sunny started again and soon left the sea area.

The deep sea returned to its former silence.

Just ten minutes after the Straw Hat Pirates left, the Den Den Mushi worn by a fish-man navy suddenly opened its eyes on its own.

"Gah—"

This is the communication telephone bug used for internal communications in the new navy. It can transmit information directly without the "pick up" action, just like a radio walkie-talkie.

"2:30, communication contact."

"This is number 0, reply received."

In the quiet deep sea, the voice of the liaison officer was heard from the receiver of the Den Den Mushi.

This is a scheduled call stipulated within the new navy. It is to ensure that the new sailors on patrol can always be contactable. Although it seems a bit frequent, such scheduled contact is very necessary to ensure that the base can accurately grasp the movements of each patrol team.

Normally, it only took a few seconds for the liaison officer at the base to receive a response from the front-line soldiers, but now, the receiver was completely silent.

"Captain Gavin, this is number 0, please reply if you get it!"

Perhaps realizing that something was wrong, the liaison officer on the other end of the Den Den Mushi's voice became loud and rapid.

The sound coming from the Den Den Mushi also awakened the owner of the Den Den Mushi, a captain called Gavin.

When Gavin regained consciousness, he struggled to open his eyes and quickly looked around. He found that his companions were all motionless, their lives or deaths unknown, and the people who attacked them had disappeared without a trace. Gavin's face immediately turned extremely pale.

"My name is Gavin. We have been attacked by the enemy in Area 18."

"The person who attacked us was a young man with blond hair and curly eyebrows. There was an unknown number of people on board, including women."

"The bow is in the shape of a lion, requesting support."

After his mind became a little clearer, Captain Gavin quickly reported the information he knew to the base.

Although he didn't know the people from the Straw Hat Pirates, that encounter made him remember the faces of some people on the Sunny.

"Under attack?!"

"How are you doing? Are there any casualties?"

"I will contact the nearby patrol team as soon as possible. Please stay safe!"

When the headquarters' liaison officer heard that the patrol team had been attacked by the enemy, his tone became extremely serious.

While listening to the liaison officer's arrangements, Gavin moved his waist and abdomen which were hit. The severe pain made his breathing a little difficult. Fortunately, the fishman's physique was strong enough. After a short rest, Gavin, who had hung up the Den Den Mushi, swam quickly towards his partner and carefully checked his companion's condition.

Unfortunately, all the Fish-Man Marines traveling with Gavin were defeated by Sanji, but fortunately, those defeated Fish-Man Marines were merely unconscious and did not seem to have suffered any fatal injuries.

The group of people were not as vicious as imagined. On the contrary, they were quite restrained in their actions.

Gavin also kept this discovery in mind.

Although he escaped with his life, Gavin would not thank the other party for it. He would only feel ashamed.

As a new navy captain, he had to rely on the enemy's mercy to survive, which he absolutely could not accept.

The New Navy is one of the most powerful forces in the world today. Every member of the New Navy will inevitably develop some kind of pride in their hearts. This cannot be changed in any way. Even a grassroots officer like Gavin has his own pride. The attack on the patrol team can be a big deal or a small one.

If the branch's top leader wasn't a responsible person like Jinbe, he probably wouldn't pay any attention to such things.

In many branches of the four seas, the primary goal of the navy garrison is to ensure that the towns under their jurisdiction are not attacked by pirates. Some of the more extreme ones will even do nothing when the town is attacked, for fear that they and their subordinates will suffer losses in the battle with the pirates.

If your subordinates suffer too many casualties and fail to achieve corresponding results, they will be held accountable by the headquarters.

Because the professional attitude of many naval officers is to "do the job as it comes".

However, such behavior is simply impossible to happen on Fishman Island. Jinbe's way of dealing with people is also affecting all the navy under his command. When the fishmen fight against pirates, they all put their heads on their belts.

It cannot be said that they are indifferent to life and death, but at least the fish-man navy are not afraid of fighting with pirates!
Moreover, Jinbei is very considerate of his subordinates. No matter how big or small the matter is in the base, he will do it himself as long as he has the energy.

Because of this, even though the patrol team only encountered an enemy attack and there were no casualties, the battle report was still delivered to Jinbe's desk.

After a brief inquiry, Jinbei dispatched five patrol teams totaling 20 people to the battlefield. He also contacted the school officer at the harbor by phone and ordered him to tighten the screening in order to directly catch this unknown enemy.

Jinbei is not afraid that the other party will not go to the island. If they want to go to the New World, anyone who takes the route to Fish-man Island will need to stay on Fish-man Island for at least a week, because it takes at least this much time for the recording pointer to record the magnetic field.

Moreover, due to the existence of the magnetic field on the seabed, it would be useless even if the group of people wandered around the outskirts of Fishman Island. There was no way to record the magnetic field without going to the island.

As Jinbei's orders came out one after another, the atmosphere on Fishman Island, which had finally had a few days of peace, became a little tense.

Ordinary people can feel that the intensity of the new navy patrols has increased a lot these days. People are no longer surprised by such things, and they also realize that it seems that powerful pirates have entered Fishman Island again.

Why say "again"? !

Because such things are not new in Fishman Island, similar things have happened before.

Although the New Navy was able to defeat the enemy every time, in every large-scale battle, there were always some unlucky ordinary people who would die in the mutual killing between the New Navy and the pirates.

The sea forest of Fishman Island.

Just as Luffy expected, there was no alert new navy in the Sea Forest of Fishman Island. The Sunny slowly sailed into the coral reefs of the Sea Forest. With the help of the colorful and lush corals, the trace of the Sunny was successfully hidden.

After hiding the ship, the Straw Hat Pirates boarded a submarine and headed towards the main island of Fishman Island.

The propeller left a white vortex in the sea, and the speedboat quickly left the Sea Forest.

In fact, according to Vivi, Luffy, Sanji and Nami don't need to go to the island this time. On the one hand, Luffy and Sanji are wanted criminals. On the other hand, these three have appeared in front of the new navy. If they go to the island, they will be discovered, which is a huge risk.

But with Luffy's personality, how could he give up going to a lively and prosperous place like Fishman Island? !

When he was a child, he came to Fishman Island with his two brothers Ace and Sabo on Zephyr's ship. However, he was still young at that time, and most of the time he was stuck on the boat, so he never got to appreciate the customs of Fishman Island.

This time, Luffy has made up his mind to have a good time!
Luffy naturally turned a deaf ear to Vivi's advice.

However, the crew members all knew Luffy's personality and knew that they could not persuade him, so they could only let him do what he wanted.

I do not know how long it has been.

The submarine passed through the bubble membrane above Fishman Island. Without the buoyancy in the sea, the submarine that passed through the bubble also fell rapidly towards the ground below.

Just as the submarine was about to come into close contact with the ground and be completely destroyed, the wind shell installed under the submarine suddenly started up. The strong wind slowed down the submarine's fall. In the end, the submarine actually landed gently on the ground, and the expected accident did not happen.

Wind Shell, this is a specialty from Sky Island. Franky used it on some special small boats.

The place where the submarine landed was an open space, surrounded by rolling hills, and looked a bit desolate.

Fishman Island is very large, and apart from the urban area, the topography is also complex. And it is precisely because Fishman Island is large enough that pirates can often find a gap to sneak into Fishman Island and use Fishman Island as a springboard to enter the New World.

"Oh-"

"Fishman Island, I'm here!!!"

As soon as the hatch opened, Luffy jumped out, breathing in the salty air of the island, a cheer escaped Luffy's lips.

The crew members walked out one after another, looking around at the unique natural scenery of Fishman Island, and excited smiles appeared on their faces.

“It went more smoothly than expected.”

"Luffy, we should either live in the wild during this time or leave quietly once the recording pointer has recorded the magnetic field."

Coby was still worried about the new navy's pursuit, so he made a suggestion.

"what?!"

"What the hell are you talking about?! Kirby!"

"This is Fishman Island, this is Fishman Island!"

"Don't you want to see the mermaid sister with your own eyes? If you leave like this, you will regret it for the rest of your life! Bastard!"

Without waiting for Luffy to object, Sanji jumped out first after hearing this, put his arm around Coby's shoulders and taught him a lesson.

Now that they have arrived at Fishman Island, Sanji can finally see the mermaid he has always dreamed of. How can he allow himself to leave like this? !

The other crew members were now looking at Coby with a look that said "this guy is hopeless", and their meaning was very clear.

Everyone on this ship is adventurous, and by nature, they are the kind of people who are fearless.

Even Usopp did not show any intention of retreating at this time. Compared with them, Coby had too little experience and too little determination.

This is understandable, because Coby didn't want to be a pirate from the very beginning.

The so-called freedom and dreams of pirates have no appeal to him. If he didn't want to repay and help Luffy, he would not stay on this ship.

After getting such a bummer, Coby tactfully shut his mouth.

Seeing that there were no more discordant voices in the team, Luffy found a big tree at random, stretched out his arms, grabbed the top of the tree, flew up, looked far away, and after finding the location of the town, Luffy called his companions and started heading towards the city.

What Luffy and the others didn't know was that the scene of the submarine falling from the sky was seen by fishmen working in a nearby farmland, and reported to the new navy.

After receiving the news, the new navy also dispatched a team of 100 people, led by a lieutenant colonel, to search for the invaders.
