"So Robin didn't hurt anyone after all?"
Sabo knocked out the person in front of him and looked at Koala beside him.
"Isn't that for the best?"
Koala said with a smile, "She's still our Lamp of the Revolution, we need to save her."
"Then let's find her and bring her back."
Sabo and Koala walked towards the coast of Canal City together, but instead of leaving from the port, they went to the side coast.
Here, there were rugged cliffs, and below them, waves crashed against the rocks.
Sabo and Koala jumped off the cliff, landing on a rock.
"How's the investigation?"
As soon as the two of them stood firm, a figure leaped out from the seabed and appeared beside them.
"Haku, Robin entered Canal City without hurting anyone," Koala shook her head and said.
"So we need to help her escape and then ask if she's willing to join the Revolutionary Army."
Sabo finished speaking, looked at Haku, and asked, "Haku, how are your preparations?"
Haku said, "I've contacted a few Red Silk Fish. They'll help me investigate the surrounding waters. As long as Robin is still here, we'll definitely be able to find her."
Koala frowned upon hearing this, "I hope she's still here. The Marines are investigating very thoroughly; she might have already left."
Sabo said, "Isn't that better? Better than staying here in danger."
"You're right," Haku agreed wholeheartedly.
Sabo said, "Then Haku, I'll leave the rest to you."
"Leave it to me."
Haku jumped into the sea, while Sabo and Koala left the area.
...
Beneath the sea, Xia Qiu swam towards Alabasta.
"Three fleets are searching outside, and one fleet is in the port. The search intensity has increased."
Xia Qiu observed the number of warships at the port. Originally, there were only two fleets outside and two fleets remaining, but now all three were outside.
However, fortunately, he didn't encounter any Marine warships on his way here. They were mainly concentrated on this route, and the search intensity for the islands outside the route was weaker.
"It's relatively safe for now."
Xia Qiu slowly turned around and left the vicinity of the port. Suddenly, he saw a giant bass ahead, about thirty meters long.
He was hungry, so he decided to make it his meal.
Upon seeing the bass, Xia Qiu immediately charged forward.
Sensing Xia Qiu's approach, the bass turned and fled.
But Xia Qiu pursued closely, catching up at an even faster speed and biting its abdomen.
Tear.
Xia Qiu tore off a piece of flesh, swallowed it, and then continued to gnaw.
In just three or four bites, the bass was dead.
Xia Qiu ate more than half of the bass, about four to five tons of meat. He couldn't eat the rest, so he had to abandon it.
After Xia Qiu was full, he swam back in the direction he came from. However, after swimming for a while, a fish appeared in front of him.
It had red scales, a flattened body, and a low jaw.
A Red Silk Fish.
Seeing Xia Qiu, the Red Silk Fish turned and fled, disappearing into the distance.
Scared out of its wits.
Xia Qiu shook his head, ignored it, and continued swimming forward.
But after swimming for a short while, he suddenly felt a figure rapidly approaching from behind.
It was a sea fish, about twenty-five meters long.
Is it trying to attack me?
Xia Qiu stopped, preparing for battle.
As the other party got closer, Xia Qiu was stunned. It was the Red Silk Fish from earlier.
What's going on?
It was so scared just now, why is it chasing me again? And it's alone. Besides it, there are only a few fish far in the distance in the nearby waters.
Xia Qiu got ready for a fight. The Red Silk Fish approached rapidly and charged at Xia Qiu.
"Do you want to die?"
Xia Qiu propelled his body forward, his speed suddenly increasing as the distance between them rapidly closed.
However, after closing a certain distance, the Red Silk Fish suddenly swiped towards the distance, accelerating away.
And the moment he turned, a yellow figure suddenly lunged over.
"An ambush, so fast."
Xia Qiu was slightly stunned. Was there an ambush? Using the Red Silk Fish's size to hide, then attacking him.
Moreover, the opponent's figure was very fast, instantly appearing before him.
Xia Qiu directly opened his large mouth and bit towards the opponent.
Swish.
But the next moment, the opponent suddenly pushed off, his body swiftly swimming to the side, narrowly dodging Xia Qiu's attack.
Xia Qiu's teeth snapped shut, missing its target, but he didn't stop. Instead, he continued to charge forward, simultaneously lifting his front leg and kicking out.
The yellow figure, having just dodged, found a leg appearing in front of him.
"Four Thousand Tile Seiken."
He immediately raised his hand and punched forward.
Boom.
Fist and Xia Qiu's claw collided, water currents swirling everywhere before continuously replenishing, the surrounding sea currents surging.
"Such great strength."
The yellow figure's body trembled, retreating backward with a numb arm and a look of surprise.
"Great strength."
Xia Qiu sensed immense power from his forelimb, comparable to Commodore Madsen's strike on the sea's surface.
Considering this was underwater, it meant at least a Rear Admiral.
"So what?"
Xia Qiu, having missed his strike, used the power from his forelimb to stop himself. Then, he swung his head, his body shifting sideways in response, while his other five legs powerfully pushed off the water, accelerating his turn.
Snap.
Xia Qiu opened his mouth and lunged towards the opponent's body.
"So fast."
The yellow figure was somewhat surprised by Xia Qiu's speed, but his body was smaller. After stabilizing himself, he pushed off with his legs in the water.
Swish.
He leaped straight up, missing Xia Qiu's mouth, and then lunged forward.
"Trying to get my head?"
Xia Qiu bared his teeth, his tentacles extending from beneath his abdomen to lash at his head, while his body continued forward.
"What is this?"
The yellow figure was surprised by the approaching tentacles, but immediately pushed off with his legs, advancing instead of retreating, swimming downwards.
Swish.
He dodged two tentacles, waved his hands, and blocked two more.
Then, with a stomp of his feet, he stomped on two tentacles, his body launching out again, arriving beside Xia Qiu's dorsal fin.
"Too agile."
Xia Qiu hadn't expected the opponent to be so agile. The moment the opponent neared his dorsal fin, he suddenly began to spin.
His massive dorsal fin swept towards the yellow figure.
But the next moment, the yellow figure directly grabbed the dorsal fin, spinning around with Xia Qiu's rotation.
"This reaction speed."
Xia Qiu found it troublesome. His tentacles continued to lash out, but the opponent, using the dorsal fin as a shield, blocked some of the tentacles, leaving only three or four that could hit him.
Bang, bang, bang.
The figure threw several punches, hitting the tentacles. The tentacles were directly repelled, while he remained unharmed.
This kind of reaction.
The force feedback proved that the opponent had accurately struck the gaps between the tentacle's claws, with great precision.
Xia Qiu continued his assault, tentacles lashing out, attacking the opponent's body.
The tentacle attacks could accelerate oxygen consumption, and collisions would cause the air in his lungs to be expelled.
As long as he couldn't attack him, Xia Qiu would deplete his oxygen, turning him into a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Xia Qiu thought this, submerged into the ocean, and swam towards the distance.
Five minutes, ten minutes.
Xia Qiu discovered something: the opponent didn't care about breathing at all.
Was this a Fish-Man?
Xia Qiu thought that since he controlled the Red Silk Fish to arrive, there must be a way to communicate, and his physique was larger than that of an ordinary person.
It must be a Fish-Man.
But did the Marines have Fish-Men?
Although Jinbe was a Shichibukai, many Fish-Men considered Jinbe a traitor and had a very poor impression of the Marines.
Furthermore, Xia Qiu didn't know which Fish-Man had joined the Marines and was this strong.
But if it were a Fish-Man, their movement speed wouldn't match his, but they would be more agile than him, able to dodge his attacks in the water and strike vital points.
Moreover, in the water, they possessed strength comparable to a Commodore on land.
They wouldn't need to worry about breathing and would excel at fighting underwater.
Even a Rear Admiral's combat power in water would be inferior to his.
And his own massive physique would become a disadvantage.
What should I do?
Xia Qiu frowned, trying to shake him off, but it was useless; he followed closely.
He couldn't evade him alone.
Therefore, he could only seek Robin's help.
But could he be a Fish-Man sent by the Marines, hoping to use him to find Robin's whereabouts?
So, Xia Qiu gave up attacking with his tentacles, and the opponent didn't attack either, just stayed hidden quietly.
It seems his target is Robin.
So, should I lead him there?
With his strength, Xia Qiu couldn't defeat him alone, but if Robin were present, they could easily kill him by subduing him.
Even a moment's delay would allow him to attack.
He could foresee that upon seeing Robin, the opponent would choose to attack immediately.
But he would never imagine that Xia Qiu could speak out to warn her.
Xia Qiu mused, turned, and swam towards the distance, leading him to the island.
