"What do you think of this Colonel Yarlin?" Mishigen asked.
"I have investigated his resume. He is a newly promoted Marine Colonel in the East China Sea. He was highly valued by the headquarters and transferred to Alabasta. After coming to Alabasta, he did not do much, except for retaliating against the Baroque studio and eradicating several strongholds of the other party. Overall, he is a cautious and smart person."
"The Marine Headquarters will not suddenly transfer Colonel Yarlin to a strange Marine Colonel. There must be a deep meaning in making such a change in this period of time. I don't believe that the Marine Colonel stationed in Alabasta at this moment is really just a spectator. I have inquired that the transfer order of Colonel Yarlin was directly issued by the Staff of the Marine Headquarters."
"The original plan of the Marine Headquarters is not important. It doesn't matter who this Colonel Yarlin is. What's important is that we have passed the message. He is a microphone for the dialogue between the Marine Headquarters and the military of Alabasta. Now the situation of Alabasta is taken over and controlled by our military. We have sent a signal to the Marine Headquarters. I can't think of a reason why the Marine Headquarters will refuse."
Several senior military generals were talking. The door was pushed open, and the chief of staff came in and nodded slightly to Mishigen. "Colonel Yarlin is very satisfied with the gift we gave him."
Mishigen didn't say anything, his face showed a thoughtful expression. He didn't care about the answers of these people and said, "Order a team to secretly monitor the movements of the Naval Branch. If there is no reply from the Marine Headquarters within two months, we will bypass the Marine Colonel stationed in Alabasta and send someone to talk directly to the Marine Headquarters."
The clanging bearing car left two thick ruts on the gravel. Under the night sky, a hovering shadow followed, and suddenly swooped down. There was a piercing sound in the air.
Yarlin sat on a box full of gold and looked up at the roof of the car. "Is Bell, one of the patron saints of Alabasta, a sneaky guy who likes to lie on the roof of the car? That's not very polite. "
The door was opened and Bell leaned into the car like a bird's shadow. His sharp eyes swept over the gold in the car. He said in a bad tone, "I'm afraid the value of so much gold is no less than 200 million Berries. Such a large amount of bribery. What kind of shameful agreement did the military represented by Mishigen reach with the Naval Branch stationed in Alabasta?"
"How do you know it's shameful?" Yarlin rubbed the cold gold bar, and Bell's figure was reflected on his retina. The red and black numbers were clearly marked (14,?). The number at the front represented the number of points that could be absorbed from killing this person, while the number at the back represented the progress bar of devouring.
In Arlen's eyes, these two numbers could be converted into the degree of threat and the label of a Devil Fruit user. The higher the number in red, the more powerful and dangerous the other party was, and if the number in black was "?", it meant that the other party was a Devil Fruit user.
So far, the person with the highest red value that Yarlin has encountered is Sand Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai. The red value almost exceeds 100, which means that the so-called patron saint of Alabasta, Bell, has no chance of winning against Sand Crocodile. He may even be killed in seconds if he is not careful.
"Otherwise, why would you go to the pavilion on the second floor for a secret talk? Why would you need such a heavy bribe?" Bell stared coldly at the person sitting in the corner. His whole body seemed to be integrated into the darkest position of the entire car. His Zoan instincts made him feel uncomfortable. It was as if a cold black python was spitting out its venomous tongue opposite him.
"Are you here to question me?" Yarlin grasped the gold bar in his hand, and a slight hissing sound surged under his white gloves.
Bell's pupils shrank, and he gritted his teeth, "Forget it, I don't care about this. I came here just because you were transferred from East China Sea. I want to ask if you know about East China Sea's Longshi Trading Company?"
"Longshi Trading Company?" Yarlin narrowed his eyes, his face showed a look of reminiscence, and then asked doubtfully, "Why are you asking about this?"
Bell noticed the change in the look on Yarlin's face. He immediately realized that Yarlin might really know the situation of Longshi Trading Company. His heart suddenly tightened and he blurted out, "It's about the heir of the Nefertari royal family. To tell you the truth, Her Royal Highness Princess Vivi is probably under house arrest by Longshi Trading Company. We hope to get some clues about Longshi Trading Company from you, Colonel Yarlin. If you can find Her Royal Highness Vivi safely, His Majesty Cobra and the entire Alabasta royal family will be grateful."
"Her Royal Highness Princess Vivi was kidnapped by Longshi Trading Company?" He put down the gold bar and gently rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers. The black cross on his forehead seemed even deeper. He pondered for a moment before saying, "As far as I know, Longshi Trading Company is an alliance of small businessmen on the surface, but it's actually a smuggling and criminal organization. The organization also has some extreme nationalistic fishmen. Well, some time ago, there was some slight turmoil in the East Blue, which led to the death of some Marine Colonels. These fishmen were behind it. Fortunately, most of the fishmen were killed in the end, but there were still some who went into hiding and were hidden by some illegal forces or pirate groups. Although we couldn't screen them, Longshi Trading Company was also a key suspect of the Marine. Unfortunately, there was no evidence, and after that, Longshi Trading Company seemed to have been destroyed."
"Fish-Men!" Bale's pupils constricted. The last information he had received was that Princess Vivi had indeed been kidnapped by two Fishmen. It seemed that Arlen wasn't lying. Bale's face contorted in disbelief. "The Longstone Trading Company was destroyed?" he asked.
"The factory of Longshi Trading Company located on an island was burned down by a fire. The whole island is full of charred corpses, so the Marine judged that Longshi Trading Company was destroyed by other forces." Yarlin shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "In the Great Age of Pirates, plundering or vendettas were staged every day on the sea. Maybe it was other forces or a passing pirate group. Everyone is dead and the clues are broken. Besides, a smuggling company was destroyed. We Marines don't have the energy to pursue this kind of thing."
