#735 - Operation Rescue! (2 in 1)

The commotion caused by Luffy, Chopper and the others on Hazelnut Island was actually not that big. In this open world, things like this actually happen every once in a while.

Bars and casinos were places where conflicts were prone to break out, and this characteristic had not been eliminated even under the rule of the new navy.

Anyone who can walk on this sea, whether they are traveling merchants or adventurers, always possesses abilities beyond ordinary people.

When these people get into conflicts with others after drinking, it often has a significant impact on ordinary people.

Therefore, although the commotion caused by Luffy and his friends on Hazelnut Island was known to the whole island the next day, it was just a small topic of conversation among people after dinner.

The people of Hazelnut Island don't have a deep impression of the Straw Hat Pirates.

They only knew that some pirates secretly landed on Hazelnut Island last night and were then captured by Admiral Yixiao, and did not cause any huge losses to Wan Guo.

After waking up the next day, the islanders continued to do what they were supposed to do, and their lives were not affected at all by the "small conflict" last night.

"Straw Hat Luffy."

“Come out!”

In the prison of the Hazelnut Island Naval Branch, the crisp sound of chains colliding with each other woke up the sleeping Straw Hat Luffy.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the morning sunlight shone through the prison skylight onto Luffy's face, causing him to squint involuntarily, and he stood up in a daze.

Luffy forgot when he fell asleep last night. He was taken back to the branch prison by the new navy, and he and Usopp and others were imprisoned separately. Luffy is a special prison for people with special abilities.

Because he couldn't see his companions, Luffy actually shouted in the cell all night until he was exhausted. Luffy didn't hear Usopp and Chopper respond to his voice. After that, Luffy fell into a deep sleep until he was woken up now.

"Usopp Chopper!"

"Usopp!"

"Chopper!!!"

"Where did you take them?!"

Luffy just came back to his senses after waking up, and immediately thought of his two companions, and started shouting. Maybe because he had shouted all night last night, Luffy's voice was a little dry and hoarse, and it was not really loud.

"Hmm?"

Smoker, who came to pick up Luffy and was about to escort him to Cake Island, obviously did not expect that the first thing the pirate would ask after waking up would be to ask about the whereabouts of his companions.

I thought this guy would understand his current situation after yelling all night, but now it seems that this pirate is still a little confused about the situation.

"Usopp Chopper."

"Are they your two thieves?"

"Don't worry, they're fine."

"Compared to them, you should care about yourself."

"Your crime is much more serious than those two guys."

There was a team of soldiers who came with Smoker to retrieve Luffy. While Smoker was speaking, he winked at his subordinates behind him, who understood and opened the cell door with the key and hurried in. They untied the wall chains that bound Luffy, and then pulled Luffy's arm and brought Luffy, who was wrapped in seastone chains, to Smoker.

The New Navy has always been cautious when dealing with people with special abilities. Even if the opponent's hands have been handcuffed with seastone handcuffs, for the sake of safety, the local warden still used precious seastone chains on Luffy and tied him up tightly, leaving him no chance to escape.

Smoker looked at Luffy for a moment, and seeing that the warden had locked him securely, he nodded slightly, then waved to his subordinates and said, "Take him away!"

The task of transferring Straw Hat Luffy was personally handled by Smoker. In fact, like Luffy, Smoker did not sleep very well last night.

After a thorough search of the harbor, Smoker did not find Straw Hat Luffy's accomplices. After thinking about it, Smoker felt that the other party's accomplices must have learned the news and hid overnight.

However, based on the limited information he had, Smoker had no way of confirming how the other party was hiding. Perhaps the other party had broken up into small pieces and was lurking on Hazelnut Island.

In order to ensure that Straw Hat Luffy would not have any accidents, Smoker actually did not sleep all night. His purpose was to guard against the possibility that the remnants of the Straw Hat Pirates might become desperate and break into the branch to rescue Straw Hat Luffy.

Smoker didn't dare to relax for a moment until Luffy was safely escorted to Cake Island.

So as soon as the sun rose, he hurried to the prison, intending to send Luffy away.

As for Yixiao and Bakara, they had already hurried back to Cake Island last night. Now that both Tsugumi Yoshiichi and Zefa are not here, the supreme leader of the new navy is Yixiao, and he has too many things to deal with every day.

With the bounty on Straw Hat Luffy, a person of this level can only be worthy of his attention at most, but the other party has been caught, so there is naturally no need for a general like him to get involved in the tail end of the matter.

"Hey, let me go!"

"Where are you taking me?!"

"Give Chopper and Usopp back to me, let me go!"

Luffy struggled, but the two burly marines ignored his struggle, grabbed Luffy on the left and right, took Luffy away from the ship, and then followed Smoker towards the naval port.

Just as Luffy was taken away and prepared to be escorted to Cake Island, Sanji of the Straw Hat Pirates was now lurking back in Hazelnut Island.

In an inn somewhere in the harbor, Sanji was standing in front of a window overlooking the sea, holding a pair of binoculars in his hand, keeping watch.

In fact, they had already received the news that Captain Luffy and his companions Usopp and others had been captured last night. Considering that there were still some "non-combatants" on their ship, facing the search of the new navy, Sanji and others decided to temporarily avoid the limelight.

Last night, no ship left the naval port, and Sanji guessed that Luffy was still being held in prison. This morning, after having been on guard all night, Sanji noticed that the naval branch seemed to be preparing to set sail, and he immediately became concerned.

Under Sanji's surveillance, he saw with his own eyes Luffy, with chains on his body, being taken onto the warship. From then on, Sanji knew completely where Luffy was.

"Hello, I'm Sanji, I've seen Luffy."

"He was escorted to a warship by the new navy. I guess he will be transferred by the new navy soon."

Sanji used Den Den Mushi to contact Coby, Franky and others who were in the high seas. Now that Luffy has been captured, Sanji and Coby are the backbone of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Coby grew very fast during his adventures with the Straw Hat Pirates. After experiencing many things, Coby's body and will were tempered. In terms of strength, he, who has been training for nearly two and a half years, may be second only to Sanji.

If in a dangerous moment, the terrifying power that Coby can unleash is even inferior to Sanji. Unlike Sanji's "chef" attribute, Coby has never relaxed his training in order to pursue his dream one day. He positions himself as the "combat specialist" on this ship.

"Being escorted to a warship?"

"The new navy should be planning to transfer Luffy to another prison."

"Sanji. What should we do!?"

"If the New Navy intends to transfer Luffy, they will probably send him to Cake Island, which is the headquarters of the New Navy. They may try Luffy there."

"We absolutely cannot let Luffy be taken there, otherwise..."

Coby's somewhat low voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi. He admired the New Navy and longed to join the New Navy, but also because of this, his understanding of the New Navy was deeper than others.

Coby knew very well that if Luffy was taken to Cake Island in this way, he might never be able to get out in this lifetime.

Ever since the new navy took control of the nations, Coby has never heard of anyone being able to walk out of the prison on Cake Island.

Even the Navy's Undersea Prison and the headquarters of Marinford are not as dangerous as the new Navy's Cake Island headquarters.

"ah!"

"You're right. We can't let him be taken away like this."

"I think this is our best chance to rescue Luffy!"

Sanji was monitoring the harbor in the distance with a telescope in one hand and a Den Den Mushi receiver in the other, his tone heavy.

"The best chance?!"

"What do you mean?"

Coby on the other end of the phone didn't know the situation. When he heard Sanji say this, he asked anxiously.

“That’s what it means.”

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"It seems that all the navy officers responsible for escorting Luffy have boarded the ship. I see that the wooden ladder has been put away."

"It seems that the rumored general who was trying to capture Luffy is not on the ship!"

"The leader of the team is a white-haired general."

"This is a rare opportunity for us. When they set sail, we will intercept them by ship. As long as we can rescue Luffy, we will succeed!"

"The distances between the islands in the Ten Thousand Countries are not very close. As long as we act quickly enough, we can rescue Luffy before the navy support arrives."

Sanji stared closely at the naval ships lined up on the sea and ready to go, his eyes becoming sharp.

At night, he didn't know the situation and didn't dare to act rashly, but now, the intelligence they obtained is worth the risk.

If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to find a way to rescue Luffy.

“So that’s how it is.”

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Coby's tone became low when he heard this. He trusted Sanji very much, and naturally he also trusted Sanji's judgment.

After a brief silence, Coby seemed to suddenly think of something and asked:

"By the way, is the new navy just planning to transfer Luffy?!"

"Where are Chopper and Usopp? Have you learned anything about their movements?"

Coby thought of Chopper and Usopp who were traveling with Luffy. Now that Luffy's whereabouts are known, there is still no definite news about the remaining two.

"I'm afraid they are still in the new navy's base."

"I think we need to split up."

When Sanji heard Coby mention Usopp and Chopper, his expression became serious.

It is true that Luffy is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, but neither Sanji nor Coby and others think that Usopp and Chopper are partners who can be abandoned.

While planning to rescue Luffy, they will not forget Chopper and Usopp.

but

Having to face the new navy while being forced to act separately is extremely stressful for the Straw Hat Pirates, and the danger level is also skyrocketing.

"We need to act separately."

Obviously, Coby was also aware of the danger, and his tone was heavy.

"Kirby, the others should be by your side."

"listen to me."

"The one escorting Luffy is a general. If I'm guessing correctly, he should be the commander of the base here."

"If he leaves, the fighting power on Hazel Island will be weakened. I think it shouldn't be too difficult to rescue Usopp and Chopper."

"Nami, Vivi, Franky, you drive the Sunny and meet us at sea."

"Brook, can I ask you to rescue Usopp and Chopper?"

"Your Yomiuri Fruit should be able to accurately detect their location. If they are still in the Marine Branch, try to rescue them. If not, withdraw!"

"As for rescuing Luffy, we have no other way but to storm."

"Others don't have the ability to fight at sea, Coby, Carrot, you and I will attack the navy ships directly and rescue Luffy!"

In the naval port, the navy ships had already sounded their horns and set sail. Sanji put down the telescope, thought for a short while, and made a decisive decision.

On the other side of the Den Den Mushi, the crew members looked at each other and nodded after hearing Sanji's arrangements.

For the sake of their partners, they are willing to take such risks.

"Okay, that's the decision!"

"After you succeed, meet up on the ship!"

Coby looked around at his companions whose eyes were gradually becoming determined, and responded.

After clarifying their respective tasks, the Straw Hat Pirates quickly took action. Brook didn't even need his companions to send him to Hazelnut Island by boat. After Nami pointed out the direction, Brook jumped lightly from the deck, and as soon as his feet touched the sea surface, he actually ran rapidly on the sea surface.

In just a blink of an eye, Brook disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only a long trail of water on the sea.

The crew members looked at the direction Brook left and couldn't help but stand there in a daze. No one had ever seen Brook have such ability before.

"This bone is really light."

Nami looked at the water marks left on the sea and complained softly.

"Let's go, our task is more difficult."

"Where's Sanji's life card? We need to track his location, we need to take action!"

Coby showed his calm side at this time. He was the first to come back to his senses and said in a deep voice.
