"Hello! Naval Headquarters!?"

"I have an urgent report to make!!!"

Chapter 83 Loguetown (Please continue reading~)

The journey back to Cocoyasi Village did not cause any further trouble.

In front of the entire village, Nami personally performed an extreme electrotherapy on the weeping and begging Colonel Mouse!

Although the process was quite brutal, everyone present was a victim who had been oppressed by him and the Arlong Pirates for nearly ten years.

No one will pity the rat colonel screaming in the lightning.

that's it……

After killing Colonel Rat, Nami said a brief goodbye to her sister Nojiko and Sheriff Ken.

Before leaving, she went to Bellemere's final resting place and stayed there for a long time.

No one knows what Nami said to Bellemere.

But when she returned to the Going Merry, her entire demeanor changed completely.

The gentle sea breeze ruffled Nami's golden-orange hair.

Gazing at the distant sea, Nami, holding the Weather Stick, stood at the bow of the Going Merry, her eyes sparkling and a confident smile on her lips.

This time, she can finally let go of all her burdens and pursue her dreams and ambitions...

Go conquer this ocean!!!

……

……

at the same time.

East China Sea, Rogge Town Naval Base.

As a naval base guarding the entrance to the Grand Line, this place far surpasses any other naval branch base in the East China Sea in terms of both the quality of its soldiers and its weaponry.

Even the commander-in-chief here is Smoker, the White Hunter, an outstanding student who ranks among the top in the Navy Headquarters recruit training camp!

Although Smoker's achievements cannot be compared to those of the three admirals, they are still an important backbone of the Navy's future.

The naval high command sent him to Loguetown, firstly to use Smoker's power to suppress the East China Sea, and secondly to give him experience and allow him to accumulate some merit.

However, Colonel Smoker was clearly not in a good mood today.

……

……

The office was filled with smoke and so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Smoker hung up the phone, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes behind the smoke.

"Damn the Straw Hat crew!!!"

"Guards!!!"

With a loud bang!

Smoker slammed his fist on the desk and yelled towards the door.

squeak--

The door opened.

A smart young woman with glasses and short hair walked in quickly.

A long, slender sword was also tucked into her waistband.

If Zoro were here right now, he would be shocked and his eyes would widen in disbelief.

Because the girl's face looked exactly like his best friend, Guina, from his memories!

And this girl is none other than Chief Petty Officer Dashiki of the Marine Headquarters, who was transferred to Loguetown from Marine Headquarters along with Smoker!

"Colonel Smoker!?"

Tashigi responded in a questioning tone, seemingly unaffected by the thick smoke inside the room.

Having been with Smoker for years, she was already used to the smell of secondhand smoke.

"Something's happened! The Marine 16th Branch base has been attacked by pirates!"

Smoker directly told his trusted lieutenant the intelligence he had just obtained from headquarters.

This also caused Tashigi to show a look of surprise instantly:

"What!?"

"What kind of pirate has such audacity!?"

"It's the Straw Hat Pirates!" Smoker said with a grim expression.

"..."

Tashigi frowned, realizing the problem, she adjusted her glasses, and then said:

"Is that Monkey D. Luffy, the Straw Hat boy who got a bounty of 5000 million Berries on his very first try!?"

"Yes! It's them!"

Smoker stood up and picked up the jib that was in the corner.

"According to intelligence from headquarters, they attacked the naval base, seized the highest-ranking commander and all the military funds, and then left without a trace!"

"Such actions are tantamount to challenging the prestige and justice of the Navy."

"Headquarters has issued orders for all warships from naval bases in the nearby waters to patrol and search for the Straw Hat Pirates in the East China Sea. Then, concentrate forces to annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

"I will be in charge of this operation!"

"Ok!"

Tashigi nodded knowingly: "These kinds of pirates should indeed be eliminated as soon as possible. We must not give them the opportunity to grow stronger!"

Smoker didn't emphasize anything, and directly gave the order:

"You'll be in charge of deploying the warships and accompanying personnel!"

"And also..."

"To prevent the pirates in Loguetown from causing any trouble while I'm away, I need you to guard Loguetown in my place!"

"Yes, I understand, Colonel Smoker."

Although she couldn't participate in such an important operation, Tashigi, being a soldier, understood the priorities and immediately responded.

A few hours later.

Dozens of naval warships set sail from various naval bases to begin their patrol missions.

Its sheer scale is unprecedented in the East China Sea in the last decade!

This clearly demonstrates just how determined the Navy is to eliminate the Straw Hat crew!

This matter was quickly published in major newspapers in the East China Sea and spread widely among the people.

However, the content published in the newspapers was somewhat inconsistent with the actual situation.

……

……

"Boss! Something's happened!!!"

"It's news about the Straw Hat Pirates!"

Inside a secluded street in the town of Logue.

Wearing a cloak that covered his entire body, unaware that it would only draw more attention to him, Mochi, the vice-captain of the Clown Pirates, suddenly pulled out a newspaper and handed it to another cloaked man.

With the help of the fleeting red light, it's not hard to guess that the person is none other than Buggy the Clown, who has already joined the Straw Hat crew.

Bucky took the newspaper and opened it immediately.

Mochi also provided commentary from the side:

"The Straw Hat crew apparently attacked a naval base a few days ago, but it doesn't seem to have gone very well..."

"Although they severely damaged the naval base and captured its highest commander, they were ultimately driven away by the valiant navy, suffering heavy losses!"

"A valiant navy?"

Chief of Staff Kabaji gave him a questioning look.

It's as if you're asking him, "How could you say something like that?!"

The quick-thinking Moqi immediately understood and explained:

"That's not what I said! That's what the newspapers wrote!"

Snapped!

Bucky closed the newspaper, a faint, strange smile playing on his lips.

He addressed his two trusted confidants directly:

"The content in the newspaper is false!"

"Huh!?" ×2

Mochi and Kabaji were taken aback and quickly looked at their captain.

"How did you know, Captain Bucky?" Mochi asked.

But Bucky grinned and burst into laughter:

"It's very simple!"

"Don't forget, not long ago, there were still rumors circulating..."

"The Straw Hat Pirates and Shichibukai Mihawk are fighting in the waters of Sabas."
