Pirate: Nami! Give me back my Berry!

Soon everyone returned to the port and reunited.

"How is it, did everyone find anything?" Ling Yan asked after everyone came back.

"It's a very dilapidated town with only a few intact houses. It seems that a large-scale war must have taken place here." Hogg said first.

"Yes, I also found traces of fighting where I went." Kuina said coldly.

"It shouldn't be caused by a strong person. This is a war between armies. But I don't understand why these people left here no matter which side wins..." Robin recalled everything he saw and felt very confused.

"I...I found something. I picked up a diary." Reina mustered up her courage and said crisply, then took out a diary.

At once, everyone looked at Reina.

Ling Yan took the diary from Reina's hand, opened it and looked at it. Nami and Robin came over together.

This diary looks old and the paper has turned yellow, but the words on it are still clearly visible.

Ling Yan flipped through it carefully, hoping to find some clues.

As he read deeper, his expression became more and more serious. Finally, he closed the diary and sighed deeply.

"This island is called Rain Curtain Island, and this diary records what happened in this town." Ling Yan said slowly, "According to the description in the diary, this was once a prosperous place, but later it was affected by the battle between the pirate group and the navy."

When they heard that they were affected by the battle, everyone's brows frowned instantly.

They were well aware of the destructive power of battle. If this place was really affected by the battle between pirates and the navy, it would not be difficult to explain why it has become a ruin now.

"Does the diary record where the people here went?" Dessa asked curiously.

"The people here moved away on their own. Because this island is close to the Red Earth Continent, pirates from Fishman Island often come here. Originally, the business here was quite developed due to the arrival of pirates, but because of the war between the navy and pirates, this place is often affected.

In the last war, the whole town was destroyed because of the large number of people on both sides. The people on the island could no longer endure it, so they moved away together. "Ling Yan told what was recorded in the diary.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

They have been to many places and know more things. In the war between the navy and pirates, it is these civilians who suffer in the end.

"So what should we do next?" asked Nojigo.

Ling Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Let's stay here for one night and then go to other places on the island tomorrow. But be careful, I feel something strange here, and there may be other dangers hidden in this land."

Everyone nodded in agreement and decided to spend the night in this run-down town while being alert to possible dangers around them.

~~~~~~

When the dream expedition team landed on the island.

On the other side of the entrance to the New World, that is, in the direction of Punk Hazard, there are more than a dozen pirate groups here.

They seemed to be waiting for something.

"What's going on? Why haven't you appeared yet?"

"From the information we have obtained, they should be here by now..."

"No accidents will happen. After all, it came up from the bottom of the sea..."

"asshole!"

"impossible!"

"Don't forget, Nami-senpai is the most powerful navigator in the world. It's impossible for them to have any accidents!"

"that is!"

"But why haven't they shown up yet..."

......

These pirate groups were actually thinking of waiting here for the dream expedition team in advance.

They admired and respected the Dream Expedition Team. They thought that once the Dream Expedition Team arrived in the New World, they would apply to join immediately. However, now they could not see the Dream Expedition Team anytime soon.

So everyone started to get anxious. Although they believed in Nami's navigation skills, they were in the sea after all, and there were many sea kings there!

Now, the captains of more than a dozen pirate groups have gathered on a ship to discuss.

They don't believe that the dream expedition team will encounter any accidents. These captains are extremely fanatical fans of the dream expedition team and they have absolute confidence in the members of the dream expedition team.

"What should we do now?" a captain asked first.

"I feel that the seniors may have known that we were waiting for them here, so they took a detour to avoid us." said another captain.

"No way? Then haven't we waited so long in vain?" someone raised the question.

"Not necessarily. Perhaps the seniors have other considerations." another captain retorted.

"Ah~~~ Seniors are so unique. I just like their attitude of looking at everything lightly!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

"..."

"Should we go look for them?" someone suggested.

"No, this is too risky. This place is close to the Red Earth Continent, which is the navy's sphere of influence. Moreover, if we encounter a powerful enemy or sea king, our ship may be destroyed." Someone objected.

"Then shall we continue to wait here?" a captain asked anxiously.

"No, let's leave here first and go to other islands to wait. I think, since our predecessors have come to the New World, their news will soon appear in the newspapers. Then we will be able to find out their whereabouts, and then we can go find them!" suggested a captain.

"This is the only way. I hope the seniors can show up soon." Someone said helplessly.

"I agree!"

"This is indeed the best way now, I agree!"

"Since everyone agrees, let's go!"

......

After the discussion, more than a dozen captains returned to their pirate ships. Not long after, these dozen pirate ships turned around and left in the same direction.

And after they left, several naval ships appeared.

"Admiral Aokiji, you are disobeying orders now. Is it really okay for you to do this..." A rear admiral looked at Aokiji with a worried look and said.

“Ah la la…”

"Major General Kaso, if I remember correctly, it was because of the Dream Expedition that you broke away from the control of the Celestial Dragons and joined the Marine Headquarters, right?" Aokiji asked while lying on a recliner, without even taking off his eye mask.

"Forehead......"

"Yes, Admiral Aokiji, but what does this have to do with our current operation?" Major General Casso didn't understand.

However, Aokiji did not answer, and the next moment, he could even be heard snoring in his sleep.

For a moment, the marines looked at each other in bewilderment...
