Chapter 490: Direction of Investigation! (2 in 1)

Zefa's identity is not ordinary. He is not only the former admiral of the Marine Headquarters, but also the chief instructor of the Navy who once coached Tsugikuni Yoriichi.

Both the opponent's identity and personal strength forced Jinbei to take him seriously.

If it was another soldier from the Naval Headquarters who came to Fishman Island today, he would most likely warn the other party and then expel him from Fishman Island.

Led by Jinbei and the fish-man navy, Zephyr's warships headed for the harbor of Fish-Man Island. There were quite a few ships traveling to and from Fish-Man Island. Since King Neptune opened up the country's trade, more than a dozen ships arrived at the harbor from the Sabaody Archipelago every day.

This does not include those fleets that were unlucky and weak and were lost in the sea.

However, among the many ships traveling to and from Fishman Island, warships from the Navy Headquarters are quite rare. Therefore, when Zefa's warship entered the port under guidance, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

The forces at Fishman's Wharf are complicated and intricate. It is the place with the largest number of foreign population. In addition to tourists and vendors, there are also many disguised pirates.

The large number of foreign population has also brought huge business opportunities to this area. The intelligence of the fish people is no less than that of humans. After years of development, Fishman Island has developed into a distinctive small town around the official dock.

The town is full of shops, and all kinds of special goods are on display. On both sides of the street, the most popular shops are actually mermaid cafes and mermaid bars.

The people on this island also understand very well what items the outsiders are most eager to consume.

This place has become an important port for communication between humans and fish people.

Zefa's warship sailed into the port. The young sailors on the deck couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as they looked at the scene of harmonious coexistence of humans and merfolk in the town.

This was the first time that these humans, who had never been to Fishman Island, had seen such a scene.

Zefa was also shocked by the prosperous scene before him. His impression of Fishman Island was still stuck in the information before the disaster.

Fishman Island is isolated from the world. Normally, this island would be limited by natural resources and technological development, and it is normal for the living standards to remain at the level of hundreds of years ago.

But now, the development of this port town is basically the same as that of the human towns on land. With the same technology, Fishman Island has also developed many special industries.

Looking around at the various houses built with colorful corals on the streets, Zefa was a little dazed for a moment. Fishman Island really looked like a country in a dream.

But soon, Zefa's face darkened.

"What exactly is hidden in a country like this?"

"Why did that body appear in the waters of the Sabaody Archipelago?"

Zefa and his fellow sailors did not disembark. Zefa did not want to bring any trouble to himself and his students, so he did not act rashly.

Jinbei has already gone to ask for a reply from his superiors. Zephyr is very confident in his reputation and the higher-ups like Tsugakuni Yoriichi. He knows that there is a high probability that he and his people will be able to go to the island openly.

It is precisely because of this idea that Zefa doesn't mind waiting a little longer on the boat.

Just as he was admiring the prosperous scene of the port town, a team of murloc navy happened to board a merchant ship on the side of the warship. After the green-skinned murloc leading the murloc navy had a brief negotiation with the ship owner, Zefa saw the crew on the ship cheering. After the murloc navy left, the owner of the merchant ship called on the crew to get off the ship one after another.

“Does the new navy conduct inspections of foreign ships?”

"In that case, it would be difficult to take the mermaid away from Fishman Island openly."

After entering the port town of Fishman Island, while Zefa was touring the street scenes, he did not forget why they came to Fishman Island.

Although the information he obtained was very limited, from these fragmented information, Zefa gradually became clear about the direction of his investigation.

The identity of the murloc is a very good breakthrough. In this world, there are only two places where murlocs live: Wan Guo and Fishman Island, and Reedchiled Island in the New World.

Of course, in addition to these main gathering places of mermen and fishmen, there may be scattered mermen living in other places, but it is always right to start checking from these places.

The first thing to determine is whether the mermaid "slipped away" from Fishman Island. In fact, a few decades ago, there were cases where mermaids or fishmen who were curious about the human world went to Shampoo Land and were discovered and captured as slaves by humans.

But before coming to Fishman Island, Zephyr had already learned about the information from the branch and had never heard of similar news.

If that mermaid really came out of Fishman Island, then this matter would probably become troublesome!
Zefa stood at the bow, his hands clasped over his chest, thinking quietly, his fingers gently tapping his arms. On the deck, Luffy was attracted by the colorful buildings on the street, and happily played on the deck, looking here and there.

The crew members on the deck seemed to have forgotten the purpose of their coming to Fishman Island and were all attracted by the unique scenery of Fishman Island.

Some young men even couldn't control their image and stared blankly at the mermaid girl who was soliciting customers in front of a Mermaid Cafe somewhere on the street.

"A bunch of idiots." Zefa did not scold these young crew members when he saw this scene. He just rubbed his head and cursed softly, showing quite tolerant attitude.

It's normal for young people.

While Zephyr and others were waiting quietly at the port, Jinbei successfully contacted Yixiao, and then reported to Yixiao about Zephyr's coming to Fishman Island. He also mentioned that there was a highly decomposed mermaid corpse on Zephyr's ship.

Speculating Zefa's intention of coming to Fishman Island.

Jinbei was unwilling to believe that a high-ranking naval officer like Zephyr came to Fishman Island just to "investigate the cause of death of a mermaid". In Jinbei's opinion, this might be a cover-up, an excuse for the navy to come to Fishman Island.

It was just his guess, Yixiao didn't take it to heart.

Jinbe doesn't know Zephyr, but Ichishao, who once worked at Marinford for a period of time, knows Zephyr very well.

This "Admiral Who Does Not Kill" is tolerant towards pirates and will not do anything to endanger the safety of Fishman Island. Moreover, Fishman Island is nominally a member of the World Government.

Jinbe's worries were totally unnecessary.

"Let them go to the island and just keep a close eye on them."

"If the other party's purpose is to investigate the case, cooperate."

A smile replied, very decisively.

After receiving Yixiao's order, Jinbei immediately went to the port, boarded Zefa's warship and informed Zefa of the approval from above.

"Mr. Zefa, the headquarters has approved your going to the island."

"But before you and your men go to the island, I think I still need to remind you that this place is different from the land. Please control your men. If you encounter any trouble, I hope you can inform me immediately and I will come forward to coordinate."

"By the way, regarding your purpose of coming to Fishman Island, I was also instructed to cooperate with your actions."

"If necessary, you can also share the information you have obtained with our new navy."

"Before you disembark, according to protocol, we need to conduct a safety inspection of your ship."

When facing Zephyr, Jinbei, the base captain, behaved very politely, but behind this politeness, his words were somewhat offensive.

Searching the ships of the Marine Headquarters? !

How could I agree to something like this?!
Sure enough, when Jinbei finished speaking, some of the young students on the deck suddenly changed color. They were the elite of the headquarters, and had never been treated like this before. Fishman Island was a member of the World Government, and which member dared to search the ship of the Navy Headquarters? !

What's more, Jinbei is just a wanted criminal! "Search our ship? How dare you!"

"Who are you to say such things to us? What qualifications do you have to search our ship? Fishman Island is a member of the World Government. Our navy can come whenever they want. Teacher Zefa is giving you a favor, but you are still taking advantage of it?"

A group of naval cadets gathered around and, without waiting for Zefa to say anything, began to denounce Shin Ping.

Jinbei was alone and surrounded by a group of marines, but he didn't show any panic. He just looked at Zephyr calmly and explained, "Mr. Zephyr, I don't mean anything against you."

"This is the rule. Even if ships from all over the world come here, they still have to be inspected."

"Mr. Tsugukuni Yoshiichi said that we should try to avoid 'exceptions' in our new navy. Once there are too many exceptions, there will be more loopholes. What can restrain people is often the system, not other things."

"To be honest, Fishman Island has been plagued by the disappearance of its citizens in recent years. This is also a last resort."

"Please understand."

Jinbei is a smart man. When he saw the mermaid's body on Zephyr's ship, he actually had a vague guess in his mind whether the body might be related to the disappearances on Fish-man Island in recent years.

He also understood why Yixiao gave the order to "cooperate with Zefa".

I'm afraid Yixiao has already guessed that the two may be related. The corpse on Zefa's ship may be a breakthrough in the disappearance case of Fishman Island.

"Disappearance incident?!"

Zephyr easily grasped the key point from Jinbei's words. The two looked at each other and felt a tacit understanding in their hearts.

"Okay!" Without any hesitation, Zefa nodded and agreed directly. His decisive answer made Jinbei's eyes light up.

Searching the ship was actually just a test of Zefa's intentions. Seeing that the other party agreed so decisively, Jinbei's trust in Zefa was also strengthened.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Jinbei didn't waste any words and directly used Den Den Mushi to send a message to a navy team stationed at the port. Not long after, two teams of fish-man navy gathered on the ship and then entered the ship's cabin to search.

Zefa's ship is a training ship. There is nothing very "confidential" on the warship. Although there are quite a few guns and cannons, they are not "contraband".

After all, it is impossible to sail on this sea without weapons, and the new navy is relatively tolerant of this regulation.

This time, the search of the ship was so smooth that it seemed like a pretense. Even the corpses on the deck were ignored by the searching fishmen. After searching the cabin, they returned to the deck to report to Jinbe.

After it was over, Jinbei waved to his subordinates, signaling them to leave.

"In this case, your review is over, right?"

Zefa asked with a smile when he saw that the other party had finished checking the ship.

Jinbei nodded, looked around at the new marines around Zephyr, glanced down at the bag of bodies on the ground, and whispered, "Mr. Zephyr, can I have a word with you?"

Seeing Jinbei's look, Zefa smiled slightly, but there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Jinbe does trust Zephyr, but Zephyr doesn't trust Jinbe at all.

The disappearance case of Fishman Island!
"Does Major General Jinbei have any advice for me?"

Zephyr approached Jinbei and asked with a smile.

Jinbei lowered his voice and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zephyr, how did you get this body? Can you tell us?"

"I suspect this incident is related to the disappearances on the island"

"Can the body be handed over to our new navy?"

Hearing Jinbei's words, Zephyr remained calm and shook his head slightly: "The body was fished out by the navy around the Sabaody Archipelago."

"It's impossible to hand it over to your new navy. However, if you want to investigate, you can take photos and keep them for comparison."

"Since the deceased's ghost has given herself to me, I will be responsible for her death!"

Zefa refused decisively. After hearing what Zefa said, Jinbei thought for a moment, looked at Zefa deeply, and nodded.

"I'll send someone to take pictures later. This is my Den Den Mushi. If there's anything, it's best to discuss it with our new navy."

"By the way, the Red Hair Pirates are on the island."

"You are the navy, it would be better to avoid contact with them."

Before leaving, Jinbei reminded Zephyr of the information about the Red Hair Pirates. Zephyr nodded with a smile after hearing the news. The Red Hair Pirates are one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and have no direct conflict with the Navy Headquarters.

As Jinbei left, Zephyr immediately called his crew members and began to assign tasks.

Leave someone to watch over the ship, repair the ship and replenish supplies; go to the island to collect intelligence and investigate the disappearance mentioned by Jinbei; investigate the identity and life experience of the deceased; explore the most chaotic place on the island.

These are the things that Zefa is most concerned about after he arrived on the island.

After making arrangements, the navy finally got off the warship. Luffy was finally like a young bird out of the cage, and he excitedly rushed to the shops on the street.

"Let's go to Longgong City. There are some things that we need the king's help to investigate."

"If the deceased is not a native of Fishman Island, there is no way to continue investigating this matter."

While walking towards Ryugu Castle, Zefa explained to the young people like Ace and Sabo who were following closely beside him. At the same time, he took this opportunity to share his ideas on investigating the case.

The disappearance case on Fish-man Island might be related to the deceased, so collecting information in this regard might be useful; the identity of the deceased is very important, as it will be directly related to whether the case can be investigated further; as for investigating the chaotic area on Fish-man Island, if it is confirmed that the mermaid came from Fish-man Island, such vicious cases are often related to such places.

In addition to these superficial clues, there are also the visible forces of Fishman Island - Ryugu Castle and the New Navy.

If the deceased really came from Fishman Island, then these two would also become his suspects.

Although he has been away from the front line for a long time, Zefa is not rusty at all!
The navy soldiers in white uniforms marched towards Ryugu Castle in a mighty manner. The appearance of Zefa and others quickly caused a commotion on the island.

King Neptune received the news early on. Although he was not sure why the people from the Navy Headquarters came to Fishman Island, when he learned that there was no conflict between the forces of Zephyr and Jinbe, he immediately set up a guard of honor to welcome the arrival of Zephyr and others.

Not long after Zefa and his crew arrived on the island, a warship entered the port under the guidance of the Fishman Navy.

The color scheme of this warship is very different from that of Zefa's warship. The surface is not green, but dark blue ocean camouflage. A golden phoenix flag is hung on the bow of the warship.
