And just as everyone on the ship was watching the scene unfolding in front of them in shock.
On a Sea Island somewhere far from Wano Country, two unfamiliar Ships also arrived.
"Woman, give up! You can't escape, hahaha!!"
"Didn't we say? We will keep our Agreement to send you to 'Wano Country', right?"
"Beauty, don't run! We don't want to hurt you."
On the Coast, a group of people chased after a woman wearing a Wano Outfit, shouting continuously.
Soon, this woman was cornered.
Watching the slavers surrounding her, the woman drew a Long Sword from her Waist.
"You people don't look like good people at all. I actually fell for your tricks, really, I'm so stupid."
Facing the woman who was cornered and drew her Sword in Resistance, the group of slavers just smiled. Obviously, in their eyes, this struggle was futile.
Originally, they planned to go to an Island in the midst of war to acquire Slaves, but unexpectedly, they encountered this naive girl on the way. They knew that this kind of goods would be very popular once sent to the Human Auction House in Shambles.
"Behind you is the Sea, you have nowhere to escape. And you want to go to Wano Country, my brothers and I can also change your Room on the Ship to Wano Country style, hahaha!"
Looking at the woman with no way to escape, the leading Man spoke mockingly.
"Oh my god, a Sea Monster!"
"Mommy, save me!"
"Run away!"
"I heard a woman's voice calling for help."
"Eh, so you said your name is Amatsuki Toki, and because you got lost and wanted to go to Wano Country, you were deceived by these guys?"
"That's right."
"What's so good about Wano Country? The people there are boring, and everything there is rigid."
Kozuki Oden, who had slowly regained his human form, complained about Wano Country, not understanding why someone would desperately want to go to the cage he was desperately trying to escape.
"Actually, going to Wano Country has been my childhood wish. Could you take me to Wano Country?"
Amatsuki Toki looked at Kozuki Oden with anticipation.
Kozuki Oden put on a reluctant look. He had finally escaped, asking him to go back? Impossible, never in this lifetime!
"By the way, I still don't know your name?"
Although Kozuki Oden didn't agree, Amatsuki Toki couldn't help but ask, after all, he was her Benefactor.
"Kozuki Oden."
As Kozuki Oden spoke, the Air between them suddenly became somewhat stagnant. Even Kozuki Oden, with his thick nerves, noticed that something was wrong, and Amatsuki Toki couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand, her face full of surprise.
You should know that neither Kozuki nor Amatsuki are names that just anyone in Wano Country can use. The former is the Shogun family of Wano Country, and the latter is one of the five major families loyal to the Shogun Lord.
Ordinary People are not qualified to use such noble surnames.
Time passed.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
"Lord Simon, we have defeated the attacks of those Samurai again! However, the number of Bullets is somewhat insufficient, and many people are injured in battle and need Medicine."
A general of the Wano Country Resistance Army said to Simon.
"Don't worry about the Medicine. No matter how much is needed, it's not a problem."
Simon was about to reply when Bell-lin, wearing a Mask, walked in and said seriously, then had someone put the box behind her on the ground.
"Inside the box are various Antibiotics, Detoxifying Agent, Hemostatic Medicine, and Anesthetic. I hope it can help you, and I also hope it won't have to."
Opening the box on the ground, the Medicine wrapped in Oilcloth paper was neatly arranged on the soft cloth inside the box.
Counting the quantity, it was enough for the Resistance Army for several months.
"Thank you, Saintess Lord."
Several generals of the Resistance Army said sincerely. It could be said that Bell-lin had saved many of their Lives. Even their Wives followed Bell-lin to learn some simple medical skills and Medicinal Herbs knowledge. As for their children, they had the opportunity to learn Text, and they also had the opportunity to fill their Bellies, which was something they couldn't even imagine before.
"Saintess Lord, why are you helping us?"
Thinking about the changes in their lives, someone inexplicably asked Bell-lin this question.
Bell-lin was stunned for a moment, and a trace of longing slowly appeared on her fair little face.
"I'm helping you just because Nicholas wants to help you."
When talking about Nicholas, a happy smile appeared on Bell-lin's face.
"..."
Simon was already used to this. After all, when he was drinking with Vistad in private, he heard Vistad mention that in their Freedom Pirates, Bell-lin truly valued only Nicholas.
Although the other Members could be said to be Companions, if Bell-lin were to choose between them and Nicholas, Bell-lin's choice would undoubtedly be Nicholas.
...…
Grand Line, Port of a certain Town on a certain Island.
Issho sat on a Wooden Box, looking down calmly at the Newspaper.
In the center of the Newspaper, there was a photo with Nicholas, Big Mom, and Kaido in the Cake Island Battlefield as the background.
The passing Port Workers all looked at the burly Issho with surprised Line of Sight.
This Man, just like a statue, had been sitting there motionless for about two hours.
During this time, his only action was looking at the Newspaper.
"Even though he's blind, he's so focused on reading the Newspaper, what a strange Weapon."
The Workers thought in their hearts.
Suddenly, a clamor came from not far away.
"Why would a Warship from Navy Headquarters come here?"
"That seems to be... the Ship of Soaring Dragon Vice Admiral of the Navy!!"
"It really is..."
Seeing the iconic Dragon pattern on Dorag's Warship made the local Townspeople at the Port feel a little panicked.
For these Townspeople, the Ships they least wanted to see were those flying the Pirate Flag and those flying the Marine Flag.
Pirates, of course, go without saying. Every visit of these Sea Parasites is a disaster for the Ordinary People of the Town. As for the Navy, they basically have dedicated Supply Towns and generally do not change them easily. Once they arrive suddenly, it means that a heinous criminal or Pirate Crew may be hiding in this Town.
Many people involuntarily looked at Issho sitting there reading the Newspaper.
In terms of suspiciousness and unfamiliarity, it was this Man who had been sitting in the scorching sun for two hours and reading the Newspaper for two hours.
Noticing the questioning Line of Sight coming from all directions, Issho remained unmoved. At the same time, his Line of Sight, with only whites visible, slowly moved away from the Newspaper and looked towards the Warship coming from afar.
Under the gaze of Issho and many Townspeople, the Warship sailed into the Wharf.
After anchoring and docking, the long gangway was extended to the Coast.
A tall Figure strode down the gangway, the Marine Coat draped over his shoulders fluttering in the sea breeze.
"It really is Vice Admiral Dorag from Navy Headquarters!"
Looking at that Figure, everyone looked surprised.
Then, they widened their eyes and watched Dorag walk step by step towards Issho sitting on the Wooden Box.
That blind man with strange behavior, is he really some dangerous Person?
Dorag came to Issho, his Line of Sight sweeping over the Newspaper in Issho's hand.
"Isn't this a Newspaper from more than six years ago?"
"Yes, this Newspaper is the earliest one I could find. As for earlier ones, I'm afraid I'd have to go to a special Place to find them. Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Dorag."
Issho slowly got up and carefully put away the Newspaper.
This action made Dorag's eyes show a hint of strangeness.
This Newspaper is related to Nicholas.
"Let's get on the Ship first."
Issho nodded slightly and followed Dorag towards the gangway.
The two walked side by side up the gangway and onto the Deck.
The Marines on the Deck all stared intently at Issho, who walked onto the Warship with Dorag.
"What is this Man's background that Vice Admiral Dorag would come to greet him personally..."
The Marines were lost in thought, becoming intensely curious about Issho. After all, the News that Dorag would become the next Navy Admiral was basically a foregone conclusion. Even those two Monster-like Weapons who had newly appeared in the Training Camp were only likely to become Admirals.
It was precisely because of this that they found it unbelievable.
