Yarlin closed the property template and walked to the Den Den Mushi. Listening to the news from the other side, his face slowly became gloomy.
"… This is the order issued by the General Staff. The formal transfer letter should be sent to the 153 Branch within a month." Faulkner's hoarse voice came into Yarlin's ears.
Ya Erlin stared at his reflection in the mirror and hung up the phone. "A transfer away from Donghai? That's the third worst case scenario in my mind. Looks like the higher-ups at the headquarters aren't that useless after all. Heh ~"
Knock knock …
Klaus knocked on the door and came in. "Lombardi sent back the news that Longshi Trading Company was ambushed by the buyers on the opposite side as soon as they entered Alabasta. They suffered heavy losses and only one ship escaped."
Arlen took a deep breath, and a bloody smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He stared at Crowe with a strange black light in his eyes. "Crowe, don't you think it's a coincidence? Headquarters wants to transfer me out of the East Sea, and the place I'm going to is Alabasta!"
"Transfer from East Blue?!" Klaus pushed the frame of his glasses and rolled his eyes. "It seems that the headquarters is finally vigilant."
Yarlin glanced at the military rank on his shoulder. "It can also be understood as a normal promotion transfer!"
"So, who will fill the vacancy in the 153 Branch?" Klaus's eyes were gloomy and murderous. The 153 Branch was their headquarters. There were too many secrets hidden in it. It was absolutely not allowed to be controlled by an outsider.
"It's possible to transfer a colonel from East Blue. This is the most likely. Of course, it doesn't rule out the possibility of directly transferring a colonel from the headquarters." Yarlin looked at Klaus meaningfully. "No matter what the situation is, he must be arranged well."
"I will take care of it." Klaus understood Yarlin's meaning. It seemed that the transfer to Alabasta would not take him. He had to stay in East Blue.
"What about the attack on Longshi Trading Company?" Ya Erlin changed the topic.
"The news that Lombardi sent back was very messy. He could only confirm that the person who attacked them was the buyer. However, the past few transactions had been going well. He couldn't think of a reason why the buyer would suddenly attack them. There were no signs beforehand." Klaus replied. "Do you want Lombardi to come directly after he returns, or do you want me to go to Iishi Island?"
Ya Erlin narrowed his eyes as his mind spun rapidly. There was very little useful information that Lombardi had sent back, but he was still able to decipher some things. There are only a few reasons why the parties involved would suddenly turn hostile and kill each other. The first possibility is that they're greedy and want to take over the line. Or, there's a new business partner, and the buyer's attitude has changed. The last possibility is that they're cleaning up the traces of the transaction and killing each other to silence the witnesses.
"Only one ship escaped?" Yarlin asked.
"Yes, only one. It has already escaped the Grand Line and sailed into the East Blue. Lombardi seems to want to come directly. His mood is very strange."
"No one chased him?"
"No!" Klaus seemed to have thought of something. "Could it be that the other side sent people to follow Lombardi?"
"They're all dead. He's the only ship that escaped. Is Lombardi so lucky?" Yarlin never believed in the so-called "escape by the skin of one's teeth". Since the buyers had set up an ambush to kill and destroy all seven ships, how could they not have the strength to get rid of the last merchant ship?
"Should I give Lombardi a warning?" Klaus asked.
"No need. Let him return to Iishi Island directly. Don't do anything unnecessary." Yarlin stood up and walked outside. "Arrange for a merchant ship to go to Iishi Island."
… … … …
Dark cumulonimbus clouds hovered over the island. They were so thick that they seemed to be filled with lead water. Frightening lightning cut through the night sky, revealing the lowered sails. The ship docked at the dock. The sailors dragged their tired bodies to anchor the ship. Lombardi was the first to jump down from the bow and look at the quiet dock.
The stacks of iishi ores in the warehouse next to him almost filled the entire dock. Lombardi walked over and kicked a wooden box down.
The coast seemed to be condensed with an oppressive atmosphere. Lombardi vented his anger before leaving. The sailors behind him dispersed quietly. The sea breeze blew through the entire dock, echoing the whistling sound of wind. It looked like a monster crawling on the shore.
Click!
A small sound came from the empty ship. It came from the bottom of the ship. It sounded like the wooden lid of a box being moved.
On the dark bottom deck, a puddle of white gelatinous liquid condensed into a human figure, revealing Mr. 3's signature hairstyle. He stood up and gently stroked his hair bun. The little finger of his right hand was still in a melted state, as if a small part was missing, so it did not solidify and recover.
He moved the wooden box that was blocking him and walked up. He stood on the deck and looked at the dark sea for a while. Then he turned around and looked at the empty dock. "Idiots who lack vigilance."
He jumped off the ship and walked along the mud road towards the dock. He could see the piles of iishi ores. Mr. 3 did not stop and walked towards the two factories behind the dock.
There was a faint light and the sound of machinery running inside the factories. Mr. 3 stood at the entrance of the factory. The huge iron door was locked from the inside. He put his hand on the gap between the door and melted his right hand into a liquid candle. It seeped into the lock and turned into a key.
The door was gently pushed open. The two workers who were on night duty turned around in shock. Before they could say anything, their mouths and nostrils were blocked by two lumps of candles. The candles quickly solidified and revealed a luster as hard as steel.
Plop!
Two suffocated corpses fell to the ground.
Mr. 3 walked towards the corpses. Along the path he took, a white wax mist seemed to float in the air. The mist spread and adhered to the surfaces around him. The moving machinery, the roofs and walls of the factories, and even the clothes of the corpses on the ground were covered with a layer of pale white wax.
"Is this the place?"
The sound of footsteps came from the open door. Mr. 5 raised his hand and swung it. A white wax-like substance fell to the ground and melted into a liquid that flowed toward Mr. 3. The liquid flowed up his pants and merged with his pinky finger.
