Chapter 38 Spider Mile
"We intercepted a slave ship at sea, and after interrogation, we learned that their destination was Spider Mile!"
"The colonel suspects there are other slave ships heading to that port and has already set off overnight. He instructed us that if you can return within two days, he will send you there by warship!"
Spider Mile?
Isn't that Doflamingo's base in the North Blue?
Even now, members of the Don Quixote family still secretly reside there.
Yelena was deeply impressed by the place name.
Colonel Valuchia, who died at her hands, had eaten a Devil Fruit that he purchased from this city, from the Donquixote Family.
The numerous kidnapping incidents in Beihai are likely related to them!
After all, there are traces to their business; the slave auction house in Sabaody Archipelago is one of Doflamingo's businesses!
With that in mind, Yelena immediately made the decision, "Let's go!"
Spider Mile is a well-known scrap yard in the North Sea, and also a no-man's-land.
Chaos and disorder.
This was Yelena's first impression of the port city.
Not long after arriving on the island, she witnessed several fights.
Is the second impression a little too chaotic?
Those fighting have already started using knives!
Soon, more than a dozen corpses lay on the ground.
If every fight is this intense, how many people will be left on this island after a while?
"Sir, something's not right! Look at those people, they don't seem like local thugs at all." A navy officer approached Yelena and whispered a warning.
Looking in the direction he pointed, almost every street was lined with groups of menacing-looking thugs, holding gleaming weapons.
The locals couldn't possibly have such a strong sense of martial spirit; there's only one possibility left for these people—pirates!
Yelena was puzzled. It wasn't surprising that pirates had landed in Spider-Eragon, but the number of them was just too many.
What is it about this port that attracts so many pirates?
They can't be here to steal trash, can they?
"Get out of my way, you bastards!"
A group of pirates walked up behind the group, led by a middle-aged man with a head full of small braids, wielding a broadsword.
Seeing a dozen or so people in cloaks blocking the road, their faces obscured, he approached, cursing, "Are you tired of living? Daring to block my way..."
As they were cursing, a gentle breeze blew by, causing the loosely fastened cloaks of the people in front of them to open slightly, revealing the white uniforms underneath.
The pirate with the pigtail's eyes widened suddenly, "The sea..."
Before the exclamation could even fade, a gleaming sword struck his shoulder, just centimeters from the vein in his neck.
"Don't shout, or you'll die."
The girl with the pigtails swallowed hard and nodded frantically.
"And you all."
The pirates behind the boy with the braid nodded in agreement.
They had no choice but to agree; the black-robed man's gaze was terrifying, leaving them utterly powerless to resist.
The navy surrounded the pirates and forced them to move to a secluded corner.
Why are so many pirates gathered in this city? What is your purpose in coming here?
Yelena shifted her wrist, pressing the greatsword even deeper.
With his life threatened, Xiao Bianzi dared not hide anything and hurriedly revealed what he knew.
The White Bear Pirates are about to head to the Grand Line and are publicly recruiting crew members in Spider Mile!
There are also rumors that a new Devil Fruit has arrived on Spider-Miracle's underground black market, with a starting bid of 100 million Berries, and the highest bidder wins!
The two pieces of information caused an instant uproar in the pirate community, with countless pirates rushing over.
The man with the pigtails looked at Yelena with fawning eyes. "My lady, could you please let me off this time? This is my first time being a pirate, I promise I'll never do it again!"
First time?
Who would believe that?
"How much is your captain's bounty?"
"Fifteen million Berries!"
One of the pirates answered instinctively, his face filled with pride.
Their captain is amazing; in less than three months at sea, his net worth surpassed that of countless others in the industry.
What an idiot!
The man with the pigtail wanted nothing more than to chop his talkative subordinates to pieces, but he dared not utter a sound.
Snapped!
Yelena struck the man's braided head with her sword, knocking him unconscious.
"Locked."
Pirates of this caliber are no longer worth using items on for her now, but the bounty is worth taking.
Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are.
"You guys take the pirates back to the warship first. Anyone who dares to run away, shoot them dead! I'll go meet Colonel T. Penn."
Yelena took out T-Pen's Vivre Card from her pocket and carefully observed its movement trajectory.
Surprise flashed in the eyes of the navy officers. As expected of the officer sent by headquarters, these rural navy officers from the North Sea had never seen such a high-tech gadget before.
After determining the direction, Yelena's figure disappeared from the spot.
Inside a building on the outskirts of town, the navy, led by T. Penn, is confronting slave traders.
"We were careless! We didn't expect the navy to discover our base!"
"As long as you release the innocent people, in the name of justice, I can guarantee your safe departure from here!"
T. Penn's stiff face was filled with tension, his eyes fixed on the cell next to the slave trader, where dozens of civilians were locked up!
Seven or eight slave traders were standing in front of the fence, pointing their guns inside.
"Enough talk! If you don't want their heads blown off, get off this island now! Otherwise..."
The slave traders looked somewhat nervous, but their attitude was extremely arrogant. With hostages in hand, they were certain that the navy wouldn't dare to do anything to them.
"hateful!"
T. Penn wanted to kill these damned criminals with his sword, but he didn't dare to make a move. Just as he was looking anxious, he suddenly met Yelena's eyes, who had appeared behind the slave traders at some point.
He immediately perked up – his helper had arrived!
Yelena gestured to T. Penn, signaling him to find a way to draw the enemy's attention.
She silently raised her longsword, secretly gathering her strength.
T. Penn blinked to indicate that he understood, and tentatively took two steps back.
"I'll leave with my men now, and you can release them once we're out of sight, okay?"
He adopted a very humble attitude.
The two leading slave traders exchanged glances for a moment, then nodded slightly, having made their decision.
"We...agree!"
The slave trader smirked; these self-proclaimed righteous fellows were far too naive.
Release them?
Dream on!
The navy's intrusion was too sudden; they didn't have time to retreat. Now they're just waiting for these guys to leave the base so they can immediately escape through the secret passage with everyone.
T. Penn waved his hand, signaling his men to prepare for retreat.
The slave traders held their breath, their eyes fixed on the navy for even a moment.
For a moment, the empty room became extremely quiet!
A bird flying at a right angle!
Yelena's eyes sharpened as she swung her longsword with the fastest speed she had ever wielded!
