A CP member hurried to the CP captain, "Brothers have searched the entire cargo terminal, and there is not even a single person. This is the ship register at the terminal."
"..."
Captain CP didn't say anything. He took the register handed over by his subordinate and started to read it.
"The navy also came to search before, and they found nothing. There were only ten cargo ships in the dock, and they were all small cargo ships. They completed the inspection quickly."
"Wait a minute, how many cargo ships did you say?"
Captain CP pointed to the ship register, "It says there are clearly eleven ships parked at the cargo terminal!"
"this……"
Ferry Terminal.
The middle-aged man looked at the CP people walking away, stood up slowly, and patted the dust on his body. The fear had disappeared from his face.
"Brian! Are you okay?"
A dock worker anxiously ran to the middle-aged man and said, "Everyone was scared to death when they saw you being escorted away by the CP."
"It's okay, they just asked me some questions." Brian smiled, "I cooperated with them all, and they didn't do anything to me."
Brian has not been happy these past few years.
Especially after reading the news in the newspaper that the revolutionary army has appeared in a certain place again, the unhappy feeling will be magnified, and there will even be a trace of unwillingness in the heart.
That's right, he, Brian, is an undercover revolutionary soldier in the Chambord Islands.
Brian grew up in a country that was a member of the Grand Line. This country was divided into three regions, the innermost aristocratic area, the outermost slums, and the civilian area sandwiched in the middle.
The country is not big, but there are a lot of bad things happening. Just talking about the civilian area where he lives, there are countless robberies, thefts, and gang fights that happen every day. He can't even count them on his ten fingers.
As for the situation in the slums, it is even more terrible. The scourge of pirates alone has caused families to be destroyed.
Although he always wanted to make the country better, he also understood that relying on his own strength alone could not change the current situation of poverty among the people.
So by some chance, he joined the revolutionary army, hoping that one day the revolutionary army could expel the fatuous king so that ordinary people could live a good life.
But now he feels that he has been forgotten by those above.
Many years ago, he was ordered by Army Commander Ambrio Ivankov to lurk in the Chambord Islands with the purpose of recording information about the Draconians from the "lower world". However, this mission was suddenly suspended one day by the higher authorities.
Since then, Brian's contact with the revolutionary army has been completely severed. No one has contacted him, and he can't contact anyone, as if he has become an abandoned chess piece.
But he did not feel abandoned at all, because not long after, he read in the newspaper the news that Ivankov, the commander of the revolutionary army, had been arrested by the World Government.
Although his superior was arrested and imprisoned, Brian did not panic at all. He had worked under Ivankov for a long time and believed that he would not reveal any information about the revolutionary army.
Brian also entered a "sleep" state, but he was not idle either. Thanks to the forged identity during the mission, he successfully applied for a dispatching job at the Shampoo Islands Terminal and became a clerk.
In the Shampoo Islands, Brian saw more of the darkness and injustice of the world government. Human trafficking, which had long been banned, was actually openly put on the table in the "Job Security Agency" in Area 1.
.
He always remembered the special appearance of the people who were auctioned at that time, including two innocent girls.
And now, Brian saw those two girls again, but compared to many years ago, they have grown up now.
I used to have no power to save them, but now, a dock dispatcher still has no power to take them away...
Fortunately, a group of unknown people appeared in front of him and told Brian that they had a way to take Red Tong and Black Tong away.
Although Brian didn't know the identities of the people in white trench coats, he could only hand the two girls over to each other in this isolated and helpless situation.
"We will take these two girls to a safe place. You can rest assured that we are also a revolutionary army in a sense. You can trust us." One of them said to Brian.
"I hope those people can abide by their agreement and take them to a safe place." Brian said secretly.
"But what do they mean when they say they are also revolutionary soldiers?"
………………
"Pulu Pulu Polo..."
"Who is calling me again?"
In the dock lounge, Annan reluctantly turned on the phone.
"Hello, I'm Annan."
"Annan, is the pier in Shampoo still closed?" Esdeath's voice came from the phone bug.
"Yes, the blockade is still ongoing, but all the civilians in Marineland have disembarked and taken refuge." Annan was a little confused, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"It's nothing. I encountered a cargo ship with the logo of Chambord. I thought the dock of Chambord had been unsealed." Esdeath said, "By the way, has the team been assembled?"
"I have already informed them." Annan looked confused. The wharf in Shampoo was always blocked. How could there be a cargo ship sailing? Also, he vaguely heard gunshots and shouts of death from the phone bug.
"What's going on over there? Did you encounter pirates?" Annan asked.
"Pirates? That's right."
On the other end of the phone, Esdeath touched her chin and said that at her feet lay a "pirate" wearing a white windbreaker, and around her, there were several "pirates" also wearing white windbreakers.
"They can actually limit my abilities. Is it a sea tower stone or an esper?" Esdeath said to the phone bug.
"Huh? Limit the fruit's ability?"
Annan was a little surprised, and then immediately recalled the fruits that had appeared before. It seemed that except for Blackbeard, no other Devil Fruit had this ability.
"Can you solve it? Where are you now? I'll be there right away." With that said, Annan walked towards the door.
"No need, it's just that I can't use my abilities. I'm not weak!" Esdeath said lightly, "I don't take them seriously. Just wait for me at the dock."
"That's it, I'll hang up first."
Esdeath closed the phone, looked at the cautious-looking men in trench coats, and smiled.
"Are you coming one by one or together?"
"You devil..."
The man in the trench coat at Esdeath's feet said with difficulty.
"what are you saying?"
Esdeath didn't hear clearly what the man in the trench coat said.
"go to hell!"
The man in the trench coat roared angrily, raised his arm suddenly, spread his fingers, and pointed at Esdeath.
Click.
A black muzzle protruded from his palm.
boom!
The jet-black muzzle spurted out tongues of fire.
Esdeath tilted her head and dodged the projectile. Although the fruit's ability was restricted, her domineering power was not.
"It's now!"
The white windbreaker on the nearby man in a windbreaker instantly turned black, and he attacked Esdeath almost at the same moment as the gunshot.
