Pirates: Build a high wall from the East China Sea.

Chapter 159 Run quickly
Xia Che looked in the direction the NEO Navy mentioned with a dark face.

Just planning to see who is so bold?
But when he took a closer look, he shook his head helplessly.

No wonder Violet didn't say anything just now~
That was not a slave ship at all, it was just a ship for transporting workers in his territory.

He said... Mok has gone to conquer the Grand Line, so where would the slave ships come from in his territory?
And although Mok's ship did look like a slave ship and behaved like one,... they were doing serious business, and it was not a slave ship!

As for pirates, they can be said to exist but after so many things happened, those pirates in the East China Sea are no longer a force to be reckoned with. They can only keep their tails between their legs and act like pirates. They dare not cause any troubles anymore.

Xia Che smiled helplessly and explained to Teacher Zefa that it was not a slave ship.

only.

Xia Che: That ship! Although it was indeed a converted pirate ship, it was stolen from other pirates. Now it has been converted into a transport ship?
Teacher Zefa: Transport ship?

Xia Che: It is specially used to transport civilians and refugees. These people cannot survive in the member states or locally, so they are simply transported to other places to work!
Teacher Zefa: Isn’t this a slave ship?
Xia Che: Don't worry, as a righteous navy, how could I do such a thing? I'll pay you!
Teacher Zefa: If it were at the beginning, I would believe that you are a righteous navy, but... you are really kidding!

Xia Che: Teacher Zefa, although we haven't seen each other for so many years, don't you still believe in my character?

Teacher Zefa: You are really having fun!

Xia Che: Even if you don't believe me, you have to believe General Kuzan and your old friend Vice Admiral Garp! Am I that kind of person?
Teacher Zefa: You are so funny!

Xia Che: Can you please stop talking about this!
Teacher Zefa: You also threatened Ein to become a pirate!

Xia Che: ...

I really can't continue this conversation.

Especially after what Teacher Zefa said, the NEO navy, who were originally just suspicious, suddenly looked at him with something strange in their eyes, as if they were looking at sea scum and garbage!
He simply waved his hand and let Teacher Zefa go and see it himself.

The transport ship also seemed to have noticed them, and initially ignored them because it thought it was a naval ship.

After all, the captains on the transport ships are basically from the navy of the 16 branches of the navy, and they are quite familiar with their own navy.

How could you not be familiar with such a big 16?
I thought there might be pirates nearby who were sent by the branch to carry out a mission, so I simply decided not to bother them.

Especially since that branch warship was followed by a large warship from the Navy Headquarters.

Who knows what secret mission he's carrying out!

So, the captain of the transport ship waved his hand and shouted, "Let's run!"

then.

This is the scene before our eyes.

"..."

Zefa and the members of the NEO Navy watched in silence as the so-called transport ship turned around and ran away.

That situation... looks like someone has done something wrong and is worried about being discovered by the navy!
Zefa was silent for a moment, turned his head and looked at Xia Che with a gloomy face, hesitated and asked, "Why don't you tell me the truth, teacher? It really is... not a slave ship?"

"No!" Xia Che said unhappily, "Don't ask me, I don't know why he ran away."

Then he turned around and said to Nami who was steering the ship, "Catch up with them!"

"No problem!" Nami glanced at the ship and nodded, "Give me a little time."

only.

"Captain, that ship seems to be catching up?"

"Catch up? Your skills are pretty good! But..." The captain also looked back with a sneer on his face, "My skills were taught by Sergeant Nami. Do you know Sergeant Nami? She is the best navigator in the East China Sea! Although I don't know which brother is on that warship, but I... am the best graduate among that batch of helmsmen!"

As he spoke, he took off his coat and threw it aside. He twisted his neck, rubbed his hands, then placed his hands on the rudder again, his eyes fixed.

"Tell everyone to sit down, now I'm going to show you my real skills!"

The words fell.

After receiving the order, the other crew members on the ship ran out and shouted, "Everyone, hurry up and sit down! Hurry up and sit down! There was a little accident. Now the ship is about to speed up. Please hold on to the handrails or other things beside you! Ensure your own safety. If you feel uncomfortable, please report it immediately."

"Please rest assured and trust our captain. Our captain is an excellent helmsman graduate and nothing will happen!" "?!"

After hearing these words, the people on the deck, who had been panicking because of the accident, gradually calmed down.

Since the captain said so, they will definitely be fine!
To know……

This is a sea area where even pirates dare not cause trouble!
only.

"What happened?"

"It seems like a ship is chasing us!"

"I heard it too. It seems to be a warship?"

"Navy? Why are the navy chasing us? Isn't it said that Boss Big Bear has a very good relationship with the navy here?"

"I don't know either, but it seems to be the navy from headquarters?"

As everyone talked, when they heard that it was the navy from the headquarters, all the civilians fell silent.

You have to know that many of them are civilians in the allied country. They have also heard that the king of their allied country plans to ask the Navy Headquarters to drive out their boss and take all those who escaped back to be slaves.

But later I heard that their boss was very powerful and had connections with the local navy, and had high-ranking officials from the navy headquarters behind him, so the kings and nobles couldn't do anything to them, and it was safe to go there.

In addition, seeing more and more people who could not make a living returning from working at sea wearing new clothes, with plump faces and confident looks, they finally gritted their teeth and went out to sea.

You must know that going out to sea without the king’s permission is a very serious crime!
But now that is not the navy from the East China Sea, but the navy from the headquarters? !
Did the kings really send their own navy to arrest them?

Everyone's face was filled with fear again.

But with the comfort of other crew members, everyone gradually calmed down.

But... his hands were tightly grasping anything he could grab around him, or hugging his family and children tightly, and his eyes were still full of worry.

And the other side.

"Captain, they seem to be catching up!"

"I saw!"

"Then what do we do now?"

"How to do?"

The captain, who was originally full of confidence, now silently watched the 16 naval warships gradually following behind him.

When I saw that...

Smooth tail swing!
Natural glide!
Smoothly riding the wind!

The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind. Then he closed his eyes slightly, "Stop the boat! Follow me to greet him!"

……

As the transport ship stopped, Xia Che's warships quickly caught up and successfully boarded the ship.

only.

"Colonel! Teacher Nami!"

"The Navy Headquarters is catching up with us!"

"..."

Zefa looked at the captain who bowed his head and admitted his mistake for no reason, and the civilians on the deck who looked terrified.

There was a sudden silence, and then...

He turned his head and looked at Xia Che again, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This...isn't it really a slave ship?"
