"Have any major pirates recently come to the West Blue?"
Looking at Lieutenant Commander Bennett, who seemed a bit dim, Tengen crossed his arms and calmly said, "Use the Marine intelligence network to help me find out where the major pirates who escaped from Impel Down have fled. So, has anyone come to the West Blue?"
"Ah!!"
"What... what did you say?"
Bang!
Before his words could fully resonate,
Lieutenant Commander Bennett suddenly jumped up, expressing surprise and uncertainty.
Damn it?
Do you really get everything you wish for?
He had just learned from intelligence documents that a small group of major pirates had escaped to the West Blue.
He was just contemplating what to do,
Should he ask the Marine Headquarters for help?
And what happened in the end?
Tengen, the famous "King of Bounty Hunting" in the West Blue, actually wants information about the major pirates who escaped from Impel Down?
Could this simply be a coincidence?
Remembering Admiral Sakazuki's instructions,
a strange and astonishing thought suddenly flashed in Lieutenant Commander Bennett's mind.
"Don't be so noisy."
Tengen paid no attention to this; his expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "I'm just bored lately. I want to catch a few big pirates for fun."
This time, to get information from the source, he didn't even go to the Bounty Guild but went directly to the T1 Branch of West Blue.
After all, Sakazuki had already given his approval. It would be a sin not to take advantage of such connections.
"These big pirates are very strong."
Hearing this, Lieutenant Commander Bennett took a deep breath and warned, "Unlike the pirates you've caught and killed before, they all escaped from Impel Down, and very few of them were famous on the Grand Line."
"I know what I'm doing!"
Tengen calmly shook his head and quietly said, "You just need to give me the information; don't worry about the rest."
"Alright!!"
Lieutenant Commander Bennett, who was about to say something more, looked deeply at Tengen and added nothing further. He picked up a file from the table and said, "This is the latest intelligence document, which records that a small number of pirates who escaped from Impel Down have entered West Blue."
"Got it!!"
Tengen took the document and began to read.
Skimming through it,
he saw that almost all pirates have bounties over 100 million.
There are nearly ten of them,
and three have bounties around 200 million."As expected from pirates who escaped from Impel Down, the quality and bounties are fairly high."
Although there weren't any particularly famous big pirates among them, Tengen still nodded with satisfaction.
Just?
How many pirates escaped from Impel Down?
So many have come to West Blue, which means pirates must have also gone to East, North, and South Blue, not to mention the big pirates who headed to the Grand Line.
From the intelligence documents,
this is just a small portion of the records of pirates with bounties over 100 million.
The Marines don't have time to pay attention to those pirates whose bounties are in the tens of millions, and they don't have any records of them at all.
The Marines have it tough,
no wonder there was a global draft in the original.
Besides the two admirals who were recruited, some mid-level fighters were also called up, which also contributed to the creation of the Seraphim to fill the gap after the abolition of the Shichibukai system.
"Alright, leave it to me."
After a few seconds,
Tengen calmed down, stretched, and prepared to leave.
With the information obtained,
he will now take action,
to increase efficiency,
he plans to use the Shadow Clone Technique,
to quickly eliminate these pirates with bounties over 100 million as soon as possible.
Maybe Observation Haki will immediately sense it's a clone, but... it's not important, with his current strength even a Shadow Clone can easily handle pirates whose bounties exceed 100 million.
"Poru-poru... Poru-poru..."
However,
just as Tengen was about to leave, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
"Hmm?"
Lieutenant Commander Bennett frowned and picked up the receiver.
"Chief Bennett, something serious has happened."
On the other end of the line,
a panicked voice could be heard,
it seemed to be frightened by something, and the voice trembled slightly with fear.
"Has something serious happened in the West Blue?"
Hearing this,
Bennett's heart sank,
suddenly he had a bad feeling.
Could it be that the pirates who escaped to the West Blue have started causing chaos?
"Yes..."
"Those... those pirates..."
Gulu-gulu...
On the other end of the line,
a Marine soldier gulped; his voice was halting as he took a long time to get to the point.
"What's going on with you? What are you afraid of?"
Bennett's expression changed, and he coldly reprimanded the caller:
– If you have something to say – say it. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up.
– Alright... alright.
On the other end of the line, the Marine soldier gritted his teeth, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and delivered shocking news:
– The pirates who escaped to the West Blue are subordinates of a major pirate – Brynid World. And news just came in... Brynnid World has also arrived in the West Blue.
Buzz!
As soon as these words were spoken, Bennett, who had just sat down, felt a buzzing in his head. A look of horror flashed across his face.
– What? Brynnid World? The great pirate who roamed the seas 30 years ago? The captain known as the "World Breaker" has truly appeared in the West Blue? It can't be!
What chilled Bennett even more was the revelation that the fleeing pirates were subordinates of Brynnid World.
Now that everything was out in the open, it became clear that this was an attempt to take the Marines of the West Blue by surprise. Even if they were to call for help from the Marines headquarters, it would be too late to save them.
It's all over...
It's too late to call for help now!
Bennett's heart was filled with despair and helplessness. He didn't even notice as he broke out in a cold sweat.
He had thought of many possibilities but never expected that such a giant of the pirate world as Brynnid World, who had escaped from Impel Down, would choose to wreak havoc in the West Blue without regard for anything or anyone.
"Is he really planning to trap us, leaving no chance of survival?"
