Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

If he remembers correctly, it should be the daimyo of Wano Country, Kozuki Oden.

Overall, Kozuki Oden was a fool. Although he was the Emperor's second-in-command in terms of strength, he was an idiot when it came to political maneuvering.

Not to mention his son, if Raleigh were to run into him.

Putting everything else aside, let's cut off his son's head first. (Whether the world will be overthrown is another matter, but Momonosuke must die.)

Donquixote Doflamingo killed his father last year, and as a result, he was humiliated by the Celestial Dragons and left Mary Geoise.

Judging by the timeline, they must have already encountered the future Don Quixote family executives.

As far as I can remember, Doflamingo made his fortune in the North Sea.

Raleigh gave a mysterious smile. Doflamingo was a useful pawn.

The sun shines brightly on the East China Sea.

Outside the ship's cabin, naval soldiers were patrolling and standing guard, carefully inspecting the ship's guns and cannons to ensure the stability of the weaponry.

On the spacious deck, Gion and Kake were making the most of every minute to train.

Jiaji was doing push-ups while carrying a huge dumbbell. Sweat dripped onto the deck, and his arms trembled slightly, but he still persevered.

Gion, holding a famous sword, calmly wielded the blade, its sharp edge cutting through the air with a series of piercing whistling sounds.

Raleigh's training was a little different from theirs. He simply closed his eyes and relaxed his body naturally. If you ignored the drool at the corner of his mouth, you would be fine.

Sleeping during work hours earns you +100 points for slacking off.

Sleeping during work hours earns you +100 points for slacking off.

......

"Colonel Raleigh, there's been an incident over there."

The messenger on the lookout tower shouted loudly.

Gion and Kake stopped training, and Raleigh also woke up from his sleep.

"Hmm, what happened?"

"Report: We have spotted an island burning outside our shipping lanes. We cannot currently determine whether it is a pirate attack or an accident."

Raleigh nodded, his mind racing.

Currently, we have already left the defense zone of Branch 133, so theoretically the probability of encountering a pirate attack on the village is much higher.

After thinking it over, Raleigh decided to go and take a look.

"Target: The burning island ahead. All soldiers, prepare for battle. Warships, full steam ahead."

beep!

As Raleigh gave the order, the warship suddenly began to accelerate.

Rows of naval soldiers on the deck were already ready for battle, even though they were not Raleigh's direct subordinates.

However, he was also a veteran from the Navy Headquarters, and his tactical skills were far superior to those of the Navy in the Four Seas Branch.

Gion and Kake walked over:

"Raleigh, what place is that?"

Raleigh picked up the nautical chart and marked it:

"The Kingdom of Tottenham is one of the member states of the World Government. However, it's far inferior to the Goa Kingdom we had before."

"Due to its deviation from the flight path, the country's economy is very underdeveloped, and the civilians living there rely solely on farming to support themselves."

"At the same time, because of poverty, the World Government doesn't care about small countries like this, which makes the Kingdom of Tottenham a weak point in the Navy's defenses. Pirate crews love to plunder these kinds of countries."

After listening to Raleigh's words, Gion gripped the famous sword in her hand tightly.

"Damn pirates!"

Then he looked at Raleigh with a resolute gaze:

"Rolley, we have to get there quickly and try to wipe out all these pirates."

Raleigh nodded without changing his expression.

"It's fine to take down the pirates, the problem is you guys go and take them down, I'm not lifting a finger."

Of course, he dared not say this to Gion, for fear that Gion would get angry and report it to the Navy Headquarters.

With the warship accelerating at full speed, Raleigh soon saw the outline of the island.

Using his telescope, he was the first to rule out accidental fire as the cause.

Because there were all sorts of corpses at the island's port.

There were the bodies of civilians who had been shot or hacked to death.

In the distance, the wooden houses and thatched huts were burning in a raging fire, making crackling sounds.

A scene of apocalypse.

"We...it seems we're too late."

After saying this, Raleigh silently handed the binoculars to Gion.

Whether this scene was created by pirates is no longer important; the people are already dead, and there is no way to bring them back to life.

After Gion and Kake finished reading, they also fell silent.

When the warship docked at the port, Raleigh turned his head slightly, his Observation Haki seemingly detecting the presence of a living person.

After he passed the burning thatched hut, he found a small, thin girl at the edge of the fire.

The little girl, probably only five or six years old, had two lines of clear tears on her face and was waving a flag that was much taller than her body.

He remained silent as he stared at the sea of ​​fire before him.

Raleigh walked silently to her side.

"Sorry we're late."

The little girl didn't know how long she had held on; all she knew was that the moment Raleigh touched her, she had already fallen into a coma due to exhaustion.

His body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, but his hands were still tightly gripping the flag.

Gion, Kake, and the other naval soldiers all fell silent as they watched this hellish scene.

The raging fire seemed to never go out.

They burned wildly, devouring houses and corpses.

Raleigh carried the little girl's body back to the Navy, and couldn't help but sigh:

"The tools and houses that ordinary people created with all their might to survive were easily destroyed under violence."

This is the norm for ordinary people in this world: chaos, killing, living in constant fear. Even those who fight desperately to survive can become targets of slaughter because of a game.

Gion angrily scolded:

"These damned pirates are committing atrocities against civilians with impunity. I will not let them get away with this!"

No sooner had Gion finished speaking than a panting voice and footsteps sounded.

"No... they're not pirates, they're... the royal guard of this country."

Raleigh turned around, and a young female navy officer ran over, wearing the uniform only navy recruits wore.

He looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his hair was shaved very short.

"Reporting, sir, I am Private First Class Bellmer of the 127th Naval Squadron, stationed in the Kingdom of Totnes."

Bellemere, who looked as if she had run from a great distance, explained breathlessly.

Looking at the girl in Raleigh's arms, a hint of sympathy flashed in his eyes.

"Was she the only one who survived in this village? What a poor child."

Upon hearing Bellemere's explanation, Gion and Kake stared wide-eyed, as if they had heard something unbelievable.

"What did you say? Say it again? What's this about the Kingdom Guards?"

Gion and Kake were furious, expecting the female naval officer in front of them to give them an explanation.
