A small merchant ship was sailing in the area between the prosperous area and the barren waters of the East China Sea.

The captain picked up the telescope and looked in all directions.

Sudden...

As if he saw something, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Then, he took out a Den Den Mushi.

Bru Bru Bru...

"Say!"

"This is No. 7. We have spotted our target, Portgas D. Ace, 17 nautical miles east of the Barati restaurant on the sea. He is heading towards the doldrums. What are your next instructions?"

"Very good, someone else will take over from behind. You have been exposed. Leave there immediately and don't alert him!"

"Yes, Minister!"

Put down the Den Den Mushi.

The captain waved his hand...

"Adjust the course and get out of here!"

"Yes!"

After a while, the merchant ship disappeared from Ace's visual range.

Of course, Ace didn't care about this merchant ship he encountered by chance, because...

At this moment, he was sleeping soundly on the small raft and did not even realize that he had sailed into the desolate waters of the East China Sea.

On the other side, Ian also knocked on Luo Lan's office door.

"Colonel, we have discovered Ace's whereabouts!"

"where?"

Hearing this, Ian directly unfolded a map of the East China Sea and drew a circle at a certain location with a pen.

"This is...near the Barati restaurant on the sea, right?"

"Yes, it's the restaurant located at the junction of the prosperous area and the desolate sea area. The food there is quite good... ahem."

Halfway through the conversation, Ian seemed to realize something and turned his head mechanically. The result was...

Luo Lan was staring at him murderously.

"I heard that a meal there costs at least 100,000 or 200,000 Baileys?"

"Colonel, I swear... that was the money I saved up!"

"Really?"

"It's more real than pearls!!"

"I don't believe it unless you treat me to a few meals in the future!"

"No problem, uh...Colonel?"

Seeing Luo Lan's mouth suddenly raised, Ian reacted.

Is the Colonel setting himself up for a fight?

And how many meals?

Can I really afford it with my salary of hundreds of thousands of Baileys...

As for that time, it was the small amount of money I had saved for a long time, and I took the opportunity to go there while I was in the prosperous circle to do some work, okay...

"Okay, let's get down to business!"

Just then, Luo Lan interrupted Ian's resentment.

"Based on its position and flight path, if it does not make any adjustments, it will eventually arrive near Rhodes Island, right?"

"Yes, according to the speed, it should take about 12 days. After all, his small raft is not fast!"

"Have you arranged the tracking?"

"Everything has been arranged. Our people will form a surveillance circle 10 nautical miles around him. Even if he changes his course, he will definitely encounter a ship outside the surveillance circle, and his whereabouts will still be under control. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"Dolly has been missing for several days. Can we really find him by following Ace?"

Ian was confused.

Because according to intelligence, there is no intersection between these two people at all.

Moreover, the information about Dolly was only passed between the pirate groups and the intelligence forces. Ace was a commander without any troops...

I'm afraid he doesn't even know about the Flame-Flame Fruit.

Now the Intelligence Department has mobilized most of its forces to keep a close eye on Ace.

Once Ace's line is useless...

That would most likely be a waste of effort!

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. Just trust me like you did before!"

"Yes, Colonel, I understand!"

------

on the raft.

Ace woke up slowly.

"This is where?"

"Forget it, no matter where it is, just keep moving forward!"

"I hope I can find a navigator as a companion on an island, then I can relax, hahaha!"

With a heartless laugh, Ace took out a bottle of wine from the package beside him.

He started drinking again.

More than 200 nautical miles away, another sailing ship was also sailing towards the doldrums.

The hull was damaged in many places, and even the sails had several holes of different sizes, which looked very miserable.

"Boss, the traitor has been found, it's him!"

Two pirates dragged a bloody guy all the way to the bow deck.

Dolly, wearing a tattered captain's uniform and a pirate hat, turned around.

"It's you?"

Dolly is angry!

After being accurately found by Click twice in a row, he realized that there must be Click's spies on his ship.

But he never expected that this person was actually one of his confidants.

And he is the one I trust the most among my confidants, because...

He once blocked a bullet for me!!

"why?"

"Why betray me!!!"

Dolly almost roared these two sentences.

"No reason. I was sent by the Admiral to monitor you. As for what happened back then...it was just a play!"

"Dolly, I advise you to go back and admit your mistake to Admiral Click. Don't worry, with the devil fruit, the admiral won't..."

Bah! !

Before the man could finish his words, gunshots were heard.

In Dolly's hand, a wisp of green smoke was coming out of the barrel of the gun.

"Now that we have found the traitor, we must go deep into the desolate sea and find a place to hide temporarily. After I figure out how to obtain the power of the devil fruit..."

"At that time, not only Crick, but even the entire East China Sea will be at our mercy!"

"Women, wealth, you will get everything, even more and better than those nobles have!!"

Put away the gun, Dolly shouted passionately.

You know what, those little pirates fell for it and started howling instantly.

"Next, the question is where to go. Is anyone familiar with the Desolate Sea?"

"Boss, I, I used to come from the Desolate Sea!"

Hearing Dolly's question, a little pirate immediately stood up excitedly.

This is a chance to show off in front of the boss, so I must perform well!

"Oh? You came from the Desolate Sea. Are you sure?"

"Really, Boss! Although there are few people in the Desolate Sea, there are still a few villages, and the village where I was born is located deep in this sea!"

"Very good, then tell me, is there any good place to hide?"

Seeing the little pirate confirm it, Dolly laughed, patted his shoulder and asked.

"Hmm... a hiding place, that's really hard to say. No, I got it, Boss. If it's just for a short period of time, I have a perfect hiding place!"

"Speak quickly!"

"In fact, there is also a naval branch in this sea area!"

"There is also a naval branch here, you are talking nonsense!"

"No, no, Boss, please believe me. I am definitely not talking nonsense!"

The little pirate was startled and quickly made a promise.

"Boss, there is indeed a naval branch near the doldrums, but that branch has less than ten people stationed there!"

"Besides, the navy will only send a batch of supplies every few months. If we take this place..."

Dolly's eyes lit up instantly.

That's right, quietly go to the island and kill those marines.

Not only can we get a hiding place that no one would expect, but we will not be discovered by the navy in a short period of time.

"Okay, that's great! Go tell the navigator the location!"

"Yes, boss!"
