"Follow them from a distance!"
The major general in a justice coat said.
The warship disguised as a merchant ship slowly followed.
On the rippling blue sea, Xiaoluo's ship had been sailing for seven days in a row. It bypassed the direction of the Horror Devil Island and headed straight for Seven Waters Capital.
"Boss! That ship behind is still following us?"
Isaac walked up behind Xiaoluo and reported.
"Yeah! I know. It should be the Navy's surveillance ship. Ignore it."
Xiaoluo waved his hand and said.
"Yes!"
Isaac jumped onto the lookout and continued to observe.
Compared with Paul's wildness, Isaac was more steady. He didn't talk much on weekdays and wholeheartedly only wanted to practice swordsmanship. Xiaoluo was very satisfied with this.
"Boss! Seven Waters Capital is ahead. Should we take a rest there before going to the island (the name "Askar Island" needs to be double - checked)?!"
Paul came over and also stood behind Xiaoluo and asked.
Xiaoluo was sitting at the bow of the ship, looking at the endless sea ahead. Then he looked at the more than twenty crew members on the ship. All of them were standing listlessly at their respective posts.
Xiaoluo pondered for a moment. Seven Waters Capital was close to Enies Lobby, which was one of the three showcases of the World Government. Few people dared to act recklessly there.
But only Xiaoluo himself knew that Enies Lobby was all bark and no bite and there weren't many strong people there. Of course, this was what it would be like thirty or forty years later. Xiaoluo really didn't know what Enies Lobby was like now. Better safe than sorry. It was still better to be cautious.
"Okay! Just take one day's rest, but don't cause any trouble!"
Xiaoluo sat at the bow of the ship, looked at Paul and said.
After getting Xiaoluo's permission, Paul smiled and rushed back to tell everyone the good news.
"Long live the boss!"
After the more than twenty crew members heard the good news from Paul, they all shouted.
Xiaoluo could feel the joy in the crew members' hearts and also smiled. He closed his eyes and felt the warm sunshine in the sky.
I don't know how long it had passed, and Xiaoluo fell asleep.
"Boss! Boss! We're here!"
Paul walked up excitedly and woke Xiaoluo up.
Xiaoluo was shocked when he saw the city like a huge fountain in front of him. The shock from the anime was nothing compared to seeing it in person.
Xiaoluo's ship entered Seven Waters Capital. Looking at the surrounding houses, he felt a bit of deja vu. Wasn't this just like Venice that he had seen in foreign countries in his previous life?
The ship passed under a huge bridge and came to a port for mooring ships.
Xiaoluo was the first to get off the ship. As soon as he got off the ship, countless people surrounded him.
"Sir, do you need a tour guide? I'm very cheap. It only costs a thousand berries a day!"
"Sir, do you need to order a ship? Our Martin Shipyard can build all ships under two hundred meters."
"Sir, do you need to rent (the term "Brue" needs to be re - checked)? It's very cheap!"
As soon as Xiaoluo got off the ship, countless people surrounded him and introduced themselves or their businesses. Looking at these energetic people, Xiaoluo was also in a great mood.
He waved to the crew behind him, signaling them to go have fun on their own and meet here again in a day.
"Yeah! Long live the boss!"
A group of over twenty crew members put away their money and disembarked from the ship, dashing towards the town.
Xia Luo also smiled faintly. He rented a Broom and sat on it, starting to tour the whole Water 7.
"Hello! This is Rear Admiral Wells. Xia Luo's pirate crew has entered Water 7. Xia Luo's pirate crew has entered Water 7."
The navy officer named Rear Admiral Wells, dressed in plain clothes, was also leaning on the shore, keeping an eye on Xia Luo.
Upon hearing this news, Kong, one of the Admirals at the Navy Headquarters, was slightly taken aback.
The recent naval recruitment drive had kept him extremely busy. When he heard Wells' voice, he was still a bit dazed for a moment.
But he quickly snapped out of it.
"Okay! I got it. Just keep a long - distance surveillance on them and don't have any conflicts with Xia Luo. Don't have any conflicts with Xia Luo!"
Admiral Kong repeated his words twice.
"Yes! Admiral Kong!"
Wells said into the Den Den Mushi.
"Alright! Watch out for your safety!"
After giving this reminder, Kong hung up the phone.
Wells put the Den Den Mushi into his clothes after the call ended.
"Scatter! Keep an eye on the other pirates respectively. Fire a signal flare if there's any special information!"
Wells said to the over thirty plain - clothed navy officers in front of him.
"Yes! Rear Admiral!"
After saluting, they dispersed and began to look for the whereabouts of the pirates on Xia Luo's ship.
Wells rented a Broom from a merchant and slowly followed Xia Luo, always keeping Xia Luo in his sight.
Of course, Xia Luo noticed this during his tour but didn't pay any attention.
It would be easy to kill him, but stronger opponents would surely come after that, so it wasn't worth it.
Xia Luo kept touring around Water 7.
He didn't even attempt to hide his identity.
Because he found that the people here didn't seem to recognize him, a big-time pirate with a bounty of 900 million berries.
Was this the so - called face blindness in the pirate world?
But it was actually good that no one bothered him. Even the one who was monitoring him just followed from afar without any intention of coming forward to arrest him.
Was he waiting for reinforcements?
Xia Luo didn't think so. After all, Wells had been following him for seven days. If there were reinforcements, they would have intercepted him in Water 7 earlier instead of waiting for him to enter the town.
So Xia Luo guessed it was just simple surveillance.
That's why he just ignored it.
He sailed along the various waterways of Water 7.
He'd stop and have a look when he came across something interesting and buy some snacks when he found something delicious.
Little did he know that his extravagant spending had already caught someone's eye.
A single person, sitting alone on a Broom and spending money recklessly, had long been targeted by some robbers in Water 7.
Xia Luo also felt the malicious looks from several people.
But he didn't care.
After finishing the water meat in his hand, Xia Luo stepped onto the bank.
He walked into a secluded alley and pretentiously untied his belt as if he was about to pee.
When the robbers saw this, their eyes all lit up.
They all greeted each other and walked into the alley.
The clanging sounds came one after another.
Xia Luo leaned against the wall, watching these people.
"You! Who are you guys?"
Xia Luo stammered in panic, looking at the seven or eight people in front of him with swords in their hands.
"Hehehahaha! We're from the Raphael family. If you want to live, hand over all your Bailey (berries)!"
A fat man, the leader, weighed the back of his sword and looked at Xia Luo with a smile, as if looking at a prey waiting to be slaughtered.
"What! What Bailey! I don't have any Bailey!"
Hearing that they were here to rob his Bailey, Xia Luo quickly covered the purse on his waist and said in a panic.
Seeing Xia Luo covering his purse, everyone's eyes lit up.
"You won't listen to reason? Then have it your way! Hand it over!"
