After a moment of stalemate, a Navy major approached.
"Who are you guys!"
Charlotte looked at the major with a cigar in his mouth with great interest. He reminded him of someone.
But then he curled the corner of his mouth and looked at the Navy soldiers.
"Heh! Trying to stop me?"
Charlotte disdainfully said as he looked at the Navy soldiers.
Right after Charlotte finished speaking, many crew members behind him took out their weapons and disdainfully eyed the surrounding Navy soldiers.
In an instant, the situation between the two sides became extremely tense.
The major also drew his standard long - sword and pointed it at Charlotte.
"Who are you!"
The Navy major seriously asked Charlotte.
He could feel a sense of pressure from the person in front of him.
"Heh! Who? Of course, pirates!"
Charlotte didn't say anything, but Paul behind him couldn't wait to say.
As soon as Paul finished speaking, the major on the other side immediately sounded the alarm!
"Shit! They're pirates! Gear up for battle!"
In an instant, all the surrounding Navy soldiers heard the major's voice and looked at Charlotte seriously.
"Pirates! Put down the girl in your hands!"
The major stepped forward and shouted.
"Hahaha!"
After hearing what the major said, Charlotte glanced at Elena.
He found that Elena was looking at the Navy soldiers excitedly, as if she was expecting something between her eyebrows.
This instantly left Charlotte speechless.
Come on! You're already my woman, Elena. How can you still look forward to the Navy?
If the Navy finds out that you're my woman, you're definitely dead!
Although Charlotte was complaining in his heart, his hands didn't stop.
He put Elena down.
But Elena tried to run away. Fortunately, Charlotte was quick - witted and caught her.
"Heh! Trying to run away! You'll never escape my grasp in your life!"
Charlotte pulled Elena to his side and whispered in her ear.
After hearing this, Elena's face turned pale instantly and she stood there stunned.
And the Navy soldiers had surrounded the more than twenty people in Charlotte's group.
"What's going on here?"
A deep voice came from behind the Navy soldiers.
Hearing this voice, the major quickly walked to his side.
"Colonel! The other side are pirates, and they're holding a young girl hostage!"
The major immediately reported to the colonel.
"What? Pirates!"
After hearing what the major said, the colonel quickly walked into the encirclement and looked at the pirates inside.
When he saw Charlotte, the leader, the colonel fell into deep thought.
This pirate looked so familiar. He seemed to have seen him somewhere.
Meanwhile, Charlotte was still whispering in Elena's ear.
And Elena was trembling all over after hearing what Charlotte said.
The colonel found the pirate holding the girl increasingly familiar; he seemed to have seen him in the fax sent from the Navy Headquarters.
When was the last time? It seemed to be a month ago.
Yes! What happened a month ago?
The colonel was thinking. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to him and he immediately remembered.
"You're The Great Blood - Sword Hero Rockefeller Charlotte with a bounty of ten billion! Yes, you're Charlotte!"
The colonel said excitedly. While thinking to himself how smart he was, he suddenly froze.
"Ten! Ten! Ten billion!"
The colonel looked at Charlotte in disbelief.
Charlotte's face perfectly matched the picture on the wanted poster in his mind.
"You're! The pirate Charlotte, The Great Blood - Sword Hero!"
The colonel exclaimed.
Then, he couldn't catch his breath and fell straight over.
"Colonel!"
The major beside him quickly stepped forward to support him but found that the colonel had fainted.
"Colonel!"
The major shouted anxiously.
"Hahahahahahaha!"
Paul burst out laughing when he saw the colonel faint after seeing Charlotte.
Navy officers as interesting as this one were rare.
"Hahahahahahaha!"
The others also put down their weapons and laughed uncontrollably.
Even Charlotte raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
If this colonel hadn't recognized him, he would have suspected that his wanted poster was fake.
After all, since entering the first half of the Grand Line, almost no one had recognized him.
"Colonel!"
The nearby Navy soldiers quickly surrounded the colonel.
They had all heard clearly what the colonel had just said.
The person in front of them had a bounty of ten billion. How could they possibly defeat such a big - time pirate?
These Navy soldiers were from a Navy branch and only responsible for protecting their own sea area, so they didn't have much combat ability.
They were far inferior to the elites at Navy Headquarters.
"Colonel! Wake up quickly! I can't make decisions by myself!"
The major was almost crying. Why did you have to faint at this time? Now all the pressure is on me. What's going on!
He shook the colonel frantically.
But the colonel just wouldn't wake up.
In fact, the colonel was cursing this subordinate in his heart.
Didn't you notice that I'm faking a faint? Shouldn't you be carrying me back to retreat now? Why keep shaking me?
Leaving aside the colonel's silent curses.
Charlotte looked at the branch colonel with great interest.
In front of Charlotte, a master of Observation Haki, the colonel's little tricks were worthless.
Pretending to faint!
How interesting!
The colonel squinted slightly in Charlotte's direction. When he saw Charlotte looking at him with interest, he was greatly shocked.
Has he found out my act?
The colonel didn't dare to think about it! He quickly tugged at the major who was shaking him.
The major, who was crying bitterly, was slightly startled when he felt his trouser leg being tugged. But when he saw the colonel's gesture, a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind.
"Quick! Quickly take the colonel back to the base. The colonel has suddenly fallen ill!"
The major shouted to the people around him.
Then he directly picked up the colonel on his back and ran towards the Navy base without looking back.
Only these Navy soldiers who didn't know what was going on were left.
They stood there, stunned, thinking that they had never heard of the colonel having any illness.
But some smart ones also followed the major and ran out.
Those who didn't know what was going on also followed suit one after another.
In a short while, all the Navy soldiers disappeared from Charlotte's sight.
Seeing this, the townspeople in the small town all shut their doors and windows tightly and hid in their homes.
Seeing this, Charlotte couldn't help shaking her head.
This colonel is really something! Being just a colonel is a waste of his talent! He should get into politics!
Not bothering with these anymore, Charlotte grabbed Elena's wrist and headed towards the port.
Behind her, the crew members put away their weapons one by one and followed Charlotte with smiles on their faces.
Elena, who was grabbed by Charlotte, was completely bewildered.
She didn't understand why the Navy that had surrounded them before had retreated.
And! What about the one - billion bounty! What about The Great Blood - Sword Hero!
All these things were beyond her little brain's comprehension.
