Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue.

Chapter 90 Surrender

"Hey, this is Garp."

"???" Xia Che was stunned, looking at the Den Den Mushi in his hand that had indeed transformed into Garp's appearance. "Oh, Vice Admiral Garp, you have Mok?"

"That guy turned himself in to me! Hahaha, how are you going to thank me, Xia Che kid?"

"We guarantee your satisfaction!"

"Haha, that Xia Che kid, we're coming over! Oh, and that Hawkeye kid came along too!"

"Beep beep~"

"???"

Mihawk?

Why is Hawkeye Mihawk here too?

Isn't this old guy afraid of being discovered to be colluding with pirates?

Seeing the Den Den Mushi being disconnected, Natsume covered his face.

"Is everything alright now?" Robin, who was standing nearby, looked at Shacher, her previously furrowed brows smoothing out, and asked, "Should we still call Kuma over?"

"No need. Although there was a slight accident, it seems we don't need to now." Hearing Robin's words, Xia Che shook his head.

Now that Garp has "captured" him, Mok should be safe.

Moreover, Mihawk probably only acted out of boredom.

Otherwise, since Mok doesn't use a sword, Mihawk wouldn't be interested in any East Sea overlord at all.

Of course, it's also possible that Moke saw him rowing the boat with his sword.

Speaking of which, is there a curse associated with the title of Overlord of the East Sea?

Even while chasing Buggy, you can see Hawkeye Mihawk rowing a boat at the edge of the Calm Belt. I wonder if this is why the Krieg Pirates were chased so fiercely in the original story?

Just ...

Hawkeye came along too!

Xia Che stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "I doubt that guy would join even if I tried to recruit him now."

It's possible if the Seven Warlords of the Sea are abolished later.

Of course, Xia Che didn't care whether this guy came or not.

This guy only cares about the way of the sword and wouldn't care about collusion between officials and traitors or warlords in the East and West. Even if he saw it, he wouldn't report it to the World Government. He might even be happy to see the World Government suffer!

At this time.

Seemingly remembering something, Robin looked up at Shacher again, "Should we hide things in the house?"

The words were spoken.

"Hide it?"

Xia Che understood what Robin meant.

The house is not the same as before; there are now many things that cannot be seen in the light of day.

Especially... Vegapunk.

"Just make sure Vegapunk is well hidden." Shache pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "As for the other problems, they're not serious and can be ignored."

With a tone of righteousness.

"We're just doing business and making money; we haven't broken any laws!"

And to be honest...

As things develop, these things will be discovered sooner or later!

It's just a matter of sooner or later. The only thing we can do now is to get Vegapunk to make what he needs faster, and then find something for the World Government to do so they won't keep staring at us.

If all else fails, just release Luffy. I believe that as long as they don't know that Vegapunk and Robin are in his hands, the World Government will be more wary of the Nika-Devil Fruit user than of me, a warlord.

"I understand. If all else fails," Robin said with an elegant smile, her tone equally helpless. "We'll just have to do what Nami said and go to sea together as pirates."

He then added, "What about... that Shichibukai—Hawkeye Mihawk?"

"Don't worry about him, I'll take care of him." Xia Che shook his head, stroked his chin, and narrowed his eyes. "As businessmen, how can we turn our guests away?"

……

the other side.

"We're doomed." Bucky, now re-handcuffed, looked at Mork, who was lying in the makeshift prison on the naval ship as if he were back home, with a look of utter despair. "Do you even know who captured us? That's a naval hero! A naval hero!"

Then, in despair, he shouted, "I already told you to let me go! We might still have a chance if we fight those Seven Warlords of the Sea together. Did you really have to surrender just because you can't win?"

Is there anyone else on this ocean who would act like a pirate like you?

And he's the overlord of the East China Sea?

It's worth noting that even the captain back then only considered turning himself in after all hope had been lost.

"What should we do now? What should we do now?"

"It's just turning yourself in, don't worry, it'll be fine!" Moke yawned, watching Bucky pacing back and forth, then rubbed his rumbling stomach and said helplessly, "It's all your fault, why did you run away? I don't think I've eaten since noon!"

"What are you thinking about eating? We need to figure out how to get out of here. You're such a loser!"

"Calm down, Bucky!"

"I told you not to call me 'Bro Bucky,' I'm older than you!"

"That red-nosed man?"

"I'll kill you!" Bucky glared at Mok angrily upon hearing this, then sat back down. "Fine, I'll forget about you! Oh, by the way..."

Seemingly remembering something, he turned to look at Moke, and said suspiciously, "What kind of boss do you have? Who is he? Is he going to come and rescue you?"

"Boss? What boss?"

"Huh? Didn't you say that?"

"No, I am the overlord of the East Sea!"

"..."

Forget about this idiot.

Anyway, since they've been captured by that old bastard Garp, I doubt anyone, no matter who's in charge, can save them.

Bucky rubbed his head in distress, thinking about how to escape, and how he couldn't let Vice Admiral Garp discover his identity!

At this time.

"Crunch~"

The cabin door was opened.

A navy officer wearing a top hat, a uniform, and a knife at his waist walked in.

Seeing that Bucky quickly shrank back, seemingly hoping not to be discovered, Mok, on the other hand, rubbed his stomach and leaned closer. "I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

"..." x2

The two of them stared at Moke in silence.

Bucky, in particular, stared at Moke with a twitching mouth. Didn't this guy know they were being held captive?

They actually dared to ask the navy for food?

however.

unexpected.

The navy officer didn't say anything, only telling Moke to wait a moment. "Wait a moment!"

A moment later...

Even more unexpectedly.

A very lavish dish was brought in.

Bucky: ? ? ?

Are the Navy now treating pirates better?

Not only were they given food, but it was such a lavish meal?

Seeing Mok wolfing down his food, Bucky swallowed hard. He realized he was getting hungry too. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Hey, you there, I'm actually a little hungry too!"

only.

The navy officer merely glanced at him and then ignored him.

"..."

Bucky's face darkened.

Why are they ignoring me?

Does the navy discriminate based on whether the enemy is the dominant power in the East China Sea? Is it because they are not the hegemon of the East China Sea that they do not receive such preferential treatment?

Just as Bucky was wondering what was going on...

At this time.

Moke seemed to have finished eating as well, letting out a burp as he finished the large bowl of food.

Immediately afterwards...

The Marine watching him eat said expressionlessly, "Vice Admiral Garp wants to see you. Come out with me for a moment!"

"??? What do you want?"

"Hurry up!"

"OK."

Meanwhile, Moke, the overlord of the East China Sea, scratched his bald head with a puzzled look as the navy urged him on, and then followed them out.

Seeing this, Buggy fell silent, especially watching Mok being led away by the Navy. His face turned from black to green, then he turned back to look at the large bowl that had been emptied, as if he understood something. With a horrified tone, he muttered to himself, "No wonder they fed him so lavishly. Could this be his last meal?"

The vice admiral is preparing to execute the overlord of the East China Sea right here and now?

Thinking of this, Bucky watched Moke's retreating figure, the anger in his eyes disappearing, replaced by a complex expression. He sighed, "Although you are indeed annoying, oh well, who told you to cause so much trouble in the East Blue? I will remember you! East Blue Overlord... Moke."

……

"Hahaha, Mok kid!"

"Hahaha, Boss Garp!"

"You've become the overlord of the East Sea, and you still got chased like this?" Garp chuckled, patting Mok on the shoulder. "Luckily, I arrived just in time, otherwise, I wouldn't have seen you next time I came back. So, tell me, how are you planning to thank me?"

"Thanks, Boss Karp! Red Romance! Food, drinks, fun, and all night long..." Moke didn't mince words, patting his chest and saying in a simple yet earnest tone, "It's on me!"

"Haha, you really do have the aura of a tyrant of the East China Sea!"

now.

Outside the temporary prison cabin...

A navy officer and a pirate were discussing whether to head straight for Red Romance later.
