After listening to the report on the phone, Sengoku put down the phone bug and sat back on the office chair with his hands folded against his chin.

"Things became complicated all of a sudden."

Then he looked at the subordinates who were still standing in the office, and ordered.

"Inform He Vice Admiral and let her come to my office."

"Hi!"

The subordinates saluted solemnly and exited the room.

Seine Island, inside Marine Base.

Momousagi and Cha Dolphin looked at the three corpses lying together, their faces gloomy.

"Vice Admiral, base director Shepard."

Tea Dolphin looked at Shepard's staring eyes, bent over, and turned over the other two bodies that had fallen on him.

"Lao Guyte Vice Admiral, Haite Vice Admiral."

He checked the three of them separately, then closed the open eyes of the three of them, closed them and got up, with a low voice.

"Shepard Vice Admiral had a broken wrist, a dislocated shoulder, a bruise on his head, a broken rib and he was inserted into the lungs. The fatal injury was a penetration in the neck."

"The other two Vice Admiral have no other wounds except for some torn clothes and dust."

"They were killed by a single blow, and half of their necks were lively cut off."

Momousagi stepped forward and looked at the bruised Vice Admiral Shepard and the other two Vice Admiral with a piece of flesh missing from their necks, and said in a cold voice.

"Have you seen this special wound?"

Momousagi walked to Shepard Vice Admiral's corpse, squatted down, and carefully observed the penetration wound on Shepard's neck.

At the wound, there were not only penetrating wounds, but also some small wounds that seemed to be torn by something.

"It's just like a fish hook."

"The fisherman will gently pull out the hook inserted into the fish's mouth, but Shepard Vice Admiral's wound is..."

"Using violence to pull the hook out of the flesh and blood." Tea Dolphin answered.

"A sword with an inverted edge, a claw enough to tear off human flesh and blood."

"Such a unique weapon can only be used by [Ashes] Aethas of the Scarlet Pirates."

Momousagi didn't answer the conversation, and silently got up and walked towards the corridor, the tea dolphin turned and followed.

"Go to the shipyard, where they should be able to find their purpose of attacking Seine."

An hour later, when they walked out of the shipyard, the tea dolphin took out cigarettes from their pockets again and lit the last cigarette inside.

"All the dead are soldiers, not even a boatman."

"Obviously, their purpose is to snatch shipbuilding talents."

"It's ridiculous, can the Scarlet Pirates lack a boatman?"

Momousagi looked back at a warship that was about to be completed at the dock, his eyes drooping, and said.

"Report to Naval Headquarters, they will investigate."

"The government also needs to report. After all, these talents belong to them."

The first half of the Grand Line, Sabaody Archipelago.

A small foreign ship stayed in area No. 44, and a man and a woman jumped off the ship.

"This is the entrance to New World, Sabaody Archipelago?"

Robin looked at the small island in front of him and stepped on the soft ground under his feet, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"You can go around in Sabaody Archipelago by yourself, but be careful not to do anything conspicuous."

"But there is only one day, and I must return to the boat the next morning."

"If there is any trouble that can't be solved, call me."

Gurant reminded Robin that he was walking towards the 41st area.

"Yes, Captain."

Nico Robin responded with a smile, and then left alone in a straight line ahead.

While Nico Robin was wandering around on the Sabaody Archipelago, Gurant came to Area 41.

When he came to Sabaody Archipelago for the fourth time, he was still looking for the old man who coated his boat three times before, Sanders.

Standing at the gate of the shipyard, Gurant did not see Sanders. At the gate, there was only a strong bald man in a pink t-shirt.

He stepped forward to ask, the strong man glanced at him, took a cigarette, and said.

"That old fellow Sanders has retired long ago and is now returning to his hometown to enjoy his old life."

"Hey, I really envy that old man. I heard that a bounty hunter gave him a lot of money, so he left Sabaody that day."

"Even the traffickers didn't have time to act on him."

"It deserves to be the old fritters that have been mixed in Sabaody for decades."

The bald man stood up and patted the ashes on his leg, looked at Gurant, and asked.

"Are you here to coat?"

"Take me to see your boat."

Gulan nodded, since Sanders has already left, the same goes for the other people in the shipyard where he was originally located.

"My ship is in area forty-four, come with me."

The bald man waved his hand indifferently and motioned to Gurant to take him quickly.

On the way, the brawny bald man finished smoking, took out a pack of cigarettes from Kabuto, shook one out of it, and handed it to Grant.

"Smoker?"

Gurant shook his head and declined, and the bald man shrugged indifferently and said leisurely.

"I'm Maggie the coater, you can also find me in Sabaody when you come to Sabaody."

"I will give you a 20% discount."

Gurant, who was walking in front, smiled and joked.

"Saunders only gives me a 9.5 percent discount, and you are better at doing business than him."

Maggie let out a disdainful "squeak" and said with a curled mouth.

"Don't compare me to that old man, a terrible old man who only admits to death."

"If it were not for luck, I would never save enough money to leave Sabaody Archipelago."

"Even if you are a coater or a boatman, you can't just rely on technology, but more on relationships."

Along the way, although Maggie looked like a fierce and brawny man, he was actually talking about tuberculosis and kept talking.

He brags to Gurant that he has a cooperative relationship with many shipbuilding companies in Sabaody, how many major clients he has contacted, and how many big pirates he has known.

When he came to area No. 44, Maggie saw the only foreign ship staying at the dock and couldn't help but admire.

"Oh!"

"It's such an exquisite small foreign ship. The person who built it must be a master shipbuilder with calm personality, meticulous work and patience."

Maggie climbed onto the ship, circled the deck, and asked Gurant excitedly.

"How much did you spend to buy this ship, this is from the hands of a famous master."

Gurant didn't answer this question, but asked Maggie how long it would take to finish the coating.

"Before you fall asleep tonight, the coating must be finished for you." Maggie promised.

"Your coating speed is much faster than Sanders." Gurant said in surprise.

"What's the matter, Sanders is old, and there is only one person." Maggie smiled triumphantly.

"I have a team. Of course, I can handle your boat alone."

Gurant nodded again, satisfied with Maggie's speed, and immediately asked him to go back to get the coating tool, and he stayed on the boat.

Today, I will stop at Sabaody, and tomorrow morning, I will head to The fish men island.

"Humhhhhhhhh..."

The phone worm rang, and Gurant sat on the sun lounger on the deck and took out a phone worm from his arms.
