Chapter 125: Mysterious Pirate Crew
"So Nico Robin really didn't hurt anyone?"
Sabo knocked out the figure in front of him and turned to Kera beside him.
"Isn't that great?" Kera replied with a smile. "She is still our beacon of revolution; we need to save her."
"Then let's find her and bring her back."
Sabo and Kera made their way toward the Coast of Rapeseed Flower City, but instead of leaving from the port, they approached the side coast.
Here, jagged cliffs rose above, with waves crashing against the rocks below.
Sabo and Kera jumped off the cliff, landing on a large stone.
"How's the investigation going?"
Just as they steadied themselves, a figure leaped out from the sea and landed beside them.
"Haku, Nico Robin entered Rapeseed Flower City and didn't harm anyone," Kera said, shaking her head.
"So we need to help her escape and then ask if she would like to join the Revolutionary Army."
Sabo finished speaking and looked at Haku, asking, "Haku, how are your preparations coming along?"
Haku said, "I have contacted several Red Silk Fish. They will help me scout the surrounding waters. As long as Nico Robin is still here, we will definitely be able to find her."
Kera frowned upon hearing this. "I hope she is still here. The Navy's search efforts are quite intense; she may have already left."
Sabo replied, "Isn't that better? It's safer than staying here."
"You're not wrong," Haku agreed wholeheartedly.
Sabo continued, "Then Haku, I’ll leave it to you."
"Leave it to me," Haku said.
Haku jumped into the water while Sabo and Kera left the area...
Beneath the Surface of the Sea, Xiaqiu swam toward Alabasta.
"Three fleets are searching outside, and another fleet is at the port. The search efforts have intensified."
Xiaqiu observed the number of battleships at the port. Originally, there were only two fleets outside and two remaining at the port, but now all three were out searching.
Fortunately, there were no Naval Battleships spotted on the way here; they were mainly concentrated along this route, with weaker search efforts for the islands outside the shipping lanes.
"For now, it seems relatively safe."
Xiaqiu slowly turned away from the port and swam off when suddenly a massive Bass appeared ahead, measuring about thirty meters in length.
Feeling hungry, Xiaqiu decided to make a meal out of it.
Upon spotting Bass, Xiaqiu charged forward.
Sensing Xiaqiu's approach, Bass turned and fled.
However, Xiaqiu pursued closely, catching up with greater speed and sinking its teeth into Bass's abdomen.
With a tearing sound, Xiaqiu ripped off a chunk of fish flesh and swallowed it whole, continuing to gnaw at the rest.
In just three or four bites, Bass was dead.
Xiaqiu consumed most of the Bass, devouring around four to five tons of fish meat. The remainder was too much to finish, so it had to be abandoned.
After satisfying its hunger, Xiaqiu swam back in the direction it came from. But not long after, another fish appeared before it.
With red scales, a flattened body, and a low jawline.
Red Silk Fish.
Upon seeing Xiaqiu, Red Silk Fish turned and darted away, disappearing into the distance.
It was terrified beyond measure.
Xiaqiu shook her head, ignoring it, and continued to swim forward.
However, after a short while, she suddenly felt a figure approaching rapidly from behind.
It was a sea fish, about twenty-five meters long.
Was it going to attack her?
Xiaqiu stopped and prepared for battle.
As the creature drew closer, Xiaqiu was stunned; it was the Red Silk Fish from earlier.
What was going on?
She had been terrified just moments ago, so why was it chasing her now? Moreover, it was the only fish around; aside from it, there were only a few distant fish in the nearby waters.
Xiaqiu readied herself for combat as the Red Silk Fish flew closer, charging directly at her.
"Do you want to die?"
Xiaqiu swung her body and charged toward it, her speed suddenly increasing as the distance between them shrank.
But just as they got closer, the Red Silk Fish abruptly veered off to the side and swam away.
In that instant of its turn, a yellow figure suddenly pounced toward her.
"There's an ambush, so fast."
Xiaqiu paused slightly. Is there really an ambush? Using the size of the Red Silk Fish to hide, then attacking me.
Moreover, the opponent's figure was swift, instantly appearing right in front of him.
Xiaqiu opened his mouth wide and lunged at the opponent.
Whoosh.
But in the next moment, the opponent suddenly pushed off, their body darting to the side, narrowly avoiding Xiaqiu's attack.
Xiaqiu's teeth snapped shut on empty air, but he did not stop. Instead, he continued to charge forward, raising his front legs to kick out.
Just as the yellow figure dodged, a leg appeared right in front of him.
"Four Thousand Tile Fist."
He immediately raised his hand and struck forward.
Boom.
His fist collided with Xiaqiu's claws, sending water swirling in all directions, while the surrounding currents surged restlessly.
"What immense power."
The yellow figure trembled slightly, retreating backward, its arms numb and expression somewhat surprised.
"That’s a lot of power."
Xiaqiu sensed the immense force coming from its forelimbs, comparable to Brigadier Madson's strike on the Surface of the Sea.
Considering this was in the water, it could at least be a Major General.
"So what?"
Xiaqiu missed its strike but used the force from its forelimbs to halt itself. Then it swung its head, shifting its body sideways while simultaneously propelling itself with its other five legs, turning sharply.
Crack.
Xiaqiu opened its mouth and lunged at the opponent's body.
"That’s fast."
The yellow figure was taken aback by Xiaqiu's speed, but after stabilizing itself, it pushed off with its legs in the water.
Whoosh.
It leaped straight up, narrowly avoiding Xiaqiu's jaws, then lunged forward.
"Trying to get to my head?"
Xiaqiu opened its mouth wide, and Tentacles extended from its abdomen, striking towards its head while its body continued to move forward.
"What is this?"
The yellow figure was surprised to see the Tentacles coming at it, but it quickly pushed off with its legs, advancing instead of retreating, swimming downward.
Whoosh.
It dodged two Tentacles, swinging its arms to block another two.
Then, it stomped down, landing on two Tentacles, and propelled itself again, reaching the side of Xiaqiu's dorsal fin.
"Too agile."
Xiaqiu did not expect the opponent to be so nimble. As the figure approached the dorsal fin, it suddenly spun around.
The massive dorsal fin slapped at the yellow figure.
But in the next moment, the yellow figure wrapped its arms around the fin, spinning along with Xiaqiu's rotation.
"This reaction speed."
Xiaqiu found itself in a difficult position. The Tentacles continued to lash out, but it used the dorsal fin to block some of them, leaving only three or four that could hit it.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The figure unleashed several punches, striking the Tentacles, which were directly repelled, leaving him unharmed.
This reaction.
The force of the feedback proved that he had accurately hit the gaps between the Tentacles' claws, showcasing remarkable precision.
Xiaqiu continued his attack as the Tentacles withdrew, assaulting his body.
The Tentacles' attacks could deplete oxygen, and the impacts would force air out of his lungs.
As long as he could evade their attacks and consume their oxygen, they would be nothing more than lambs to the slaughter.
Xiaqiu thought this as he submerged into the ocean and swam further away.
Five minutes, ten minutes.
Xiaqiu realized something: the opponent didn't seem to care about breathing at all.
Was this a Fishman?
Xiaqiu recalled controlling the Red Silk Fish to arrive, which surely indicated a means of communication, and their size was relatively larger than that of an ordinary person.
It must be a Fishman.
But did the Navy have Fishmen?
Although Jinbei is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, many Fishmen consider him a traitor and have a poor opinion of the Navy.
Moreover, he was unaware of which Fishman had joined the Navy, especially one so strong.
If it were a Fishman, his mobility wouldn't match Jinbei's, but he would be more agile, able to evade attacks in the water and strike vital points.
Additionally, he possessed strength in the water that rivaled that of a Commodore on land.
There was no need to worry about breathing, and he excelled in underwater combat.
Even a Major General would find his combat power diminished in the water compared to him.
His large size became a disadvantage.
What should he do?
Xiaqiu furrowed his brow, trying to shake him off, but it was futile; he was firmly following him.
He couldn't evade him alone.
Thus, he had no choice but to seek Nico Robin's help.
But could it be possible that this Fishman was sent by the Navy, hoping to use him to track down Nico Robin's whereabouts?
Consequently, Xiaqiu abandoned the idea of attacking him with his Tentacles, and the other party made no move to attack either, simply remaining quietly hidden.
It seemed that his target was Nico Robin.
Should he take him there?
With his strength, he couldn't defeat him alone, but if Nico Robin were present, she could control him, making it easy to kill him.
Even a moment's delay would allow him to attack.
He could foresee that upon seeing Nico Robin, he would immediately choose to attack.
But he would never expect that he could give a warning.
Xiaqiu thought to himself as he turned and headed towards the distant island, leading him along the way.
