At this moment, Luo Erji sailed his Dragon Hunting Pirates over.
Looking at the massive San Juan Wolf before him, a look of terror appeared on his face.
"Where is Captain Lu Yu?"
Indeed, in that brief moment, he noticed Lu Yu's small, dilapidated ship was gone.
In its place was the monstrous San Juan Wolf before him.
Its ferocious appearance and intimidating color were terrifying.
Most importantly, this was where Lu Yu's ship had been just a moment ago!
Could it be that Captain Lu Yu was killed!?
But… who is this…
Just as Luo Erji was lost in thought, Akame leaped directly onto the Extremely Evil Battleship before him.
"Big Sister Akame… this…"
"Heh heh heh… Hahahahahaha…"
"Sure enough, I still don't have the same resolve as Big Sister Akame, do I?"
"As a trainee crew member, I must also avenge Captain Lu Yu!"
"Lads, attack…"
Luo Erji froze for a moment, then immediately gave the order to attack.
In his eyes, Akame must have gone to avenge Captain Lu Yu.
And he was still consumed by fear and hesitation.
Is this the difference between a full crew member and a trainee crew member?
Filled with guilt, Luo Erji also charged forward.
"Captain!?"
However, as soon as he reached the deck, he saw Lu Yu standing at the bow, looking completely unharmed.
Could it be that this is…
"Luo Erji, you performed very well."
"From now on, you will be a full crew member."
"Lead the way to Shelz Town."
Lu Yu saw the myriad expressions on Luo Erji's face and didn't know what he was thinking.
However, the plan would not stop.
Lu Yu then gave the order.
"Ah!?"
"Captain is mighty!"
"I… Luo Erji will serve Captain with my Life and soul forever!"
"I'll go lead the way!"
All the doubts and questions vanished at this moment.
He happily went to sail the ship.
Looking at the frenzied Luo Erji, Lu Yu always felt that this crew member had some kind of serious illness.
However, he didn't say anything more.
Arlong's appearance confirmed one thing for Lu Yu.
That is, there was no need to stay in the East Blue any longer.
Here, he would either encounter monstrous existences or merely small fry.
For the current Lu Yu, they were completely useless.
Moreover, his bounty had now reached thirty million.
There was no need to remain in the East Blue.
After cutting down Monka in Shelz Town, he would head straight to Loguetown.
Meanwhile, in Shelz Town.
"What?"
"You want to ally with me?"
"Hahaha… Colonel Nezumi, do you think you have the qualifications to stand before me and say such a thing?"
"You're just a guy with no strength whatsoever!"
Inside Monka's office, Monka's disdainful voice rang out.
In his eyes, although Colonel Nezumi held the same rank as him, he utterly despised this guy.
The branch colonel rank obtained through speculation, profiteering, and flattery was completely beneath him.
One must know that he was the hero who once annihilated the Black Cat Pirates!
How could he work with a lowly fellow like Nezumi?
"Colonel Monka, please hear me out first."
"This is a new pirate who has already defeated several pirates with bounties over ten million."
"Moreover, even the Arlong Pirates were defeated by him."
"Now, he is heading towards Shelz Town."
"I have information, you have strength."
"Such a pirate will surely be brought to justice under your axe, Colonel Monka!"
Colonel Nezumi's small eyes darted around as he said with a smile.
As for Monka's insult to him just now, Colonel Nezumi didn't take such things to heart at all.
After all, he was used to being insulted.
Now that Arlong had failed, he could better manipulate Arlong.
If he could also team up with Monka here to take down Lu Yu.
Then, he would definitely be able to obtain more resources in the East Blue.
At that time, this place would be Colonel Nezumi's domain.
"Pirate, Lu Yu?"
"Just a mere rookie."
"As long as he dares to enter the waters outside my Shelz Town, I can cut him down without your help!"
"Get lost!"
"If trash like you stays here, I won't be able to resist cutting you down!"
Monka remained arrogant and disdainful.
"Let me work with you, I can provide money to make the statue you want to build even bigger!"
Nezumi still didn't give up.
Hearing this, Monka's eyes lit up.
Indeed, although he had already plundered most of Shelz Town's wealth and captured many laborers to build his statue, Colonel Nezumi's promise of a bigger statue appealed to him.
"Hmph!"
"Then I'll allow you to act with me."
"However, that pirate's head must be mine!"
Monka swung the axe in his hand, his face filled with violent expression.
At this moment, Colonel Nezumi also showed a fawning smile.
But deeper down, it was a smile of a successful scheme.
"Colonel Monka, a strange pirate ship has entered the inner harbor."
"According to the description, it's the Dragon Hunting Pirates, a great pirate with a bounty of thirty million!"
Just then, a Marine rushed in, quickly reporting the situation.
"Have they arrived?"
"Nezumi, watch closely."
"This is the demeanor a hero of justice should have, not your despicable self!"
After Monka finished speaking, he directly put on his clothes and set off.
As for Colonel Nezumi, he immediately followed.
At the same time, three Marine warships appeared in the inner harbor of Shelz Town.
These were all people called by Colonel Nezumi.
Being able to defeat that guy Arlong, he must not be a simple character.
However, Colonel Nezumi was clearing out Arlong.
That guy's strength would definitely not be easily defeated.
In Colonel Nezumi's eyes, even if Lu Yu defeated Arlong, he would still suffer heavy losses.
Meanwhile, they passed by the training ground.
A green-haired man was tied there.
That's right, it was Zoro, who had been cut by Lu Yu earlier.
This guy was tied here for 'meddling'.
At this moment, Luffy and the little girl had also arrived here.
"Marines!"
"What are they going to do?"
Luffy looked at these Marines, asking somewhat confusedly.
As for fear, there was none for now.
After all, before Luffy set sail, Garp often came to see him.
So, he had seen many Marines.
Since they didn't attack him, Luffy, being a bit simple-minded, didn't pay much attention.
Koby, on the other hand, was trembling all over.
After all, his identity was still that of a pirate!
