Looking at the enormous horse face just inches away, and the sharp teeth sticking out from under the thick lips, the Navy colonel sucked in a breath of cold air, almost fell on his butt.
The other marines were all the same.
"Who are you people?" Jotaro jumped down from the Sea King's head and coldly asked.
"Are you blind?! This sentence should be me asking you!" The colonel's face was ferocious, obviously angry due to being frightened just now.
"..."
Jotaro did not reply, his expression gradually turning unfriendly.
It was unknown if it was an illusion, the colonel felt a trace of chill appear on his back.
But to become a Navy colonel, it showed he was also someone with sharp eyes.
Jotaro could command Sea Kings, his strength definitely was not ordinary, absolutely not someone he could oppose. If he angered the other party, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He didn't dare show the overbearing attitude he usually had toward common people in front of this man.
"You really don't know who we are?" he asked tentatively.
Jotaro still did not answer, but his meaning was already very obvious.
"Hehe..." The expression on the colonel's face immediately became confident, "I am a government-appointed Navy colonel, Mouse. This sea area is my territory."
He secretly cursed in his heart, 'Where did this country bumpkin come from, actually doesn't even recognize the Navy flag, must be a native from a remote area!'
Though he disdained Jotaro deep inside, the smile on his face was still flattering.
"Navy? I see..."
After Mouse revealed his identity, Jotaro temporarily put aside the previous grievance.
In his heart, the Navy was still a profession worth respecting.
"So that means you're familiar with this area?" Jotaro's light green eyes stared at Mouse, calmly spoke out the current predicament.
"We got lost, since you're Navy, I hope you can take us to find land."
Colonel Mouse's expression looked a bit troubled.
"Shipwrecked victims huh..."
He didn't want to do such thankless things.
"Wait! You said 'we'? You have other companions?"
Jotaro nodded and briefly explained the situation, so Shinobu and Nezuko, who were sitting in the small boat, were also brought onto the ship.
After seeing the appearance of the two, the marine soldiers all opened their eyes wide, their hearts pounding wildly.
'My god, such beautiful girls actually exist!'
After the boring sailing on the sea, they had already been a bit sexually repressed. At this moment, seeing such stunning beauties, how could they look away.
These wolf-like eyes made Shinobu slightly frown, gently pulling Nezuko behind her.
Seeing Jotaro stepping forward to block the two, Colonel Mouse finally snapped out of it.
"Ahem!" He pretended to be natural, showing a friendly smile, "We Navy, in the name of absolute justice, enforce maintaining security across the oceans of the world."
"For shipwrecked victims like you, of course we will unconditionally provide help."
He called over a subordinate and instructed, "Quickly prepare rooms for these esteemed guests, properly entertain them. If they have the slightest dissatisfaction, I'll hold you accountable!"
"Y-yes!" the subordinate lowered his head, loudly replied.
Then he turned around, reached out his hand and said, "Guests, please this way, I'll prepare rooms for you."
"Thank you." Shinobu smiled, politely thanked, and pulled Nezuko's little hand walking over.
Jotaro said nothing, silently followed behind them.
Looking at Shinobu and Nezuko's graceful backs, the smile on Colonel Mouse's lips gradually became cold and gloomy.
"These two broads really look good! I've been in East Blue for so long and haven't come across such fine women!"
"Yeah, seeing them, and then thinking of those island chicks we messed with before, I feel like puking!"
"Isn't that nonsense? How can those chicks compare to them. I think these two women might be princesses from some country?"
The crew whispered.
One man with protruding cheekbones and a pointy monkey-like face leaned next to Colonel Mouse, lewdly smiled and said, "Colonel, how about we... hehehe..."
"Hmph!" Colonel Mouse snorted coldly and said, "Don't have wild thoughts. I think both of these women are still pure."
"If that membrane is broken, they won't be worth anything!"
"You mean..." The monkey-faced man instantly understood.
Colonel Mouse clasped his hands behind his back, sinisterly smiled, "Selling them to those nobles will definitely fetch a good price."
"Hehehe, if those nobles are in a good mood, maybe they'll even reward us with some used girls." The monkey-faced man licked his lips, "That way the brothers not only get to enjoy, we can even sell them to those brothels and make a small profit."
"Not bad! This way you and I both earn, and everyone can live in peace. Harmony brings wealth! Hahahahaha!"
Colonel Mouse laughed wildly, but soon the smile at his lips faded.
"But, right now there's a problem."
"You mean that man in black?"
Glancing at the giant Sea King beside the ship, Colonel Mouse said worriedly, "To tame such a fierce beast, his strength definitely isn't ordinary. I'm afraid he'll interfere with us."
The monkey-faced man pondered for a moment and said, "How about we ask Arlong to act, let him take care of that man for us."
"Don't forget, he comes from the Grand Line, and can also tame Sea Kings!"
Colonel Mouse viciously glared at him, cursed, "You must be dreaming! That Arlong guy is greedy beyond belief."
"Though we're secretly colluding now and seem to be at peace, he's not as honest as he looks on the surface."
"We can't let him get a handle on this matter, otherwise I'll have to be under his thumb forever!"
He paced back and forth, looking anxious.
"This man, we'll have to think of a way to deal with him ourselves."
The monkey-faced man's eyes rolled quickly, then whispered a few sentences into Colonel Mouse's ear.
Mouse nodded, the corner of his mouth gradually rising.
"Not bad. Open attacks are easy to dodge, hidden ones are hard to guard against. No matter how strong he is, right now he's on my ship!"
"Sorry, we only have one empty room left on the ship."
That crew member scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
Hearing this, Shinobu and Nezuko's pretty faces flushed.
Does this mean... they'll have to sleep together with Jotaro?
"I saw there's a storage room used for stacking sundries over there, I'll make do there for a night." Jotaro put his hands in his pockets, completely unconcerned, and asked, "By the way, how far is the nearest island from here?"
The crew member thought and said, "Not far, about a..."
"At least a week!" At some point, Colonel Mouse walked over, smiling and said, "Don't worry, in the name of the Navy, I will definitely let you land safely."
Sensing Mouse's sharp gaze, the crew member immediately lowered his head.
"A week, it actually takes that long?"
Thinking of the expressions of the sailors earlier, Shinobu felt very uncomfortable inside.
"This is something that can't be helped." Mouse sighed, "After all, we also have missions, can't just take care of you."
Hearing him say this, the group had no more objections.
"Alright, you all go rest properly." Mouse said kindly, "If there's anything you need, just let us know."
After speaking, he took that crew member and turned around to leave.
