contrary,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>from the very moment Li Xiao drew his sword,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he knew\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>144\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>048\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that this stinking mouse could already book his ticket to the Yellow Springs in advance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arlong felt no sense of \"the fox mourning the death of the hare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only wished he could resurrect that stinking mouse and then hack him to death again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kind where you split his skull open!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just so he could see if his brain was really only the size of a grain of rice, just like a mouse's!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gave you the eye for so long,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>why couldn't you understand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>did you think I was flirting with you here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being greedy for money is fine,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but at least have some common sense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, you should know what money can be coveted and what cannot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You even dared to skim the Berries of this powerhouse who almost killed me with one slash?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding Li Xiao's strength,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>others might not be clear,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but Arlong, who had actually fought him, knew it perfectly well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought it was an evenly matched fight,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>until Li Xiao unleashed that final slash,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and Arlong realized he was wrong,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>wrong in a ridiculous way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy had only been using basic attacks from start to finish,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>while he had already used up all his ultimate moves and flashes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just looking at that final slash,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was definitely not a level that should exist in the East Blue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And according to his judgment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiao probably still hadn't used his full strength in that slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a person like this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>how could he possibly be wary of a mere Marine branch Colonel like you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you're not going to use your brain, can you donate it to someone who needs it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now look,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the perfectly good chance to escape,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>poof, gone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this very moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>looking at Colonel Mouse's decapitated corpse,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arlong was also a bit lost for a moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colonel Mouse was already dead,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>so what would he face next?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would this guy, finding it troublesome, just hack him to death on the spot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiao did have this thought,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but now was not the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiao held his sword and looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding Marine soldiers were all looking dumbfounded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>their faces filled with shock!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>their own officer had died so unexpectedly\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that they hadn't even reacted yet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when they finally came to their senses,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>facing Li Xiao, who had killed Colonel Mouse,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they not only didn't choose to attack him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but instead retreated in terror,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and some even dropped their swords and guns,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>turning around and running down the mountain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiao shook his head,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his face showing no surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, \"a weak soldier makes a weak unit, a weak leader makes a weak nest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This G-16 Marine branch base,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>under the management of Colonel Mouse,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>had long since rotted to the bone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as could be seen from the state of that duty soldier earlier!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for these Marine soldiers,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>let alone taking them to the battlefield,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they probably wouldn't even have the courage to swing a sword at an ordinary pirate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiao ignored these chaotic Marine soldiers\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and turned his gaze toward the interior of the Marine base!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Colonel Mouse was dead,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the entire Marine base was in chaos,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>so there was nowhere to collect his bounty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he was already here,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he naturally couldn't return empty-handed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiao rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His bounty of tens of millions wasn't a small sum,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>someone had to make up for it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiao had no interest in the public funds of this Marine base,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and to be honest,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he didn't believe this Marine base still had any so-called public funds;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they had likely all gone into Colonel Mouse's pockets long ago!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the person was already hacked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then why not,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>just loot the place while he was at it!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Surely Colonel Mouse would be very happy to be able to shine and heat up the Marine cause one last time after his death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not happy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then if you have the ability, put your head back together and protest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it will be treated as tacit consent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>under Li Xiao's \"gentle and friendly\" questioning,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he learned the location of his secret vault from one of Colonel Mouse's adjutants!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Li Xiao didn't expect was that\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colonel Mouse's private vault was not only hidden in this Marine base,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but the specific location was actually inside the underground prison!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ever since Colonel Mouse arrived,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the underground prison had almost stopped holding pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, as long as the money was enough,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>let alone letting you go,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even if you were burning, killing, and looting right under his nose, he could pretend not to see it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the underground prison had been left idle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later on,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a large part of the underground prison was privately converted by Colonel Mouse into his own treasure vault,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and he even opened up several secret passages in various directions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the secret passages led directly to Colonel Mouse's office,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>with its entrance located behind a bookshelf,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to make it convenient for him to go to his treasure vault on a daily basis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there were several secret passages in the vault leading to various places on the island,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>some leading to the shore,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>some leading into the town,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>some leading behind the cliffs...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>these were all retreat routes Colonel Mouse had prepared for himself in advance,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>in case his misdeeds were ever exposed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>making it easy to take the money and run!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the underground prison had not held prisoners for a long time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and there was no one on duty on a daily basis,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and later Colonel Mouse even forbade Marine soldiers from going to the underground prison,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>therefore,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>regarding the treasure vault inside the underground prison,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>only a few people in the entire Marine base knew about it,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and this adjutant, because he had been following Colonel Mouse for a long time and was deeply trusted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was the one who knew the situation of the vault so clearly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Led by this adjutant of Colonel Mouse,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiao and his group arrived at Colonel Mouse's office\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and headed to the treasure vault converted from the underground prison through the secret passage behind the bookshelf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why it was a group,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>because besides Li Xiao,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there was the entire Arlong Pirates!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for bringing the Arlong Pirates along\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>wasn't for any other reason;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was mainly because Li Xiao was worried that when he went to the treasure vault,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they would take the opportunity to slip away!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>for the sake of caution,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was better to take them along!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's more,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the treasure vault that Colonel Mouse specially converted in the underground prison,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>#86\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>64\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no bank cards or mobile payments here,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>so moving so many treasures out was a troublesome task!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was naturally necessary to prepare some free labor in advance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the group passed through the secret passage and arrived at the underground treasure vault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Li Xiao looked up,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even though he didn't have much desire for money,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he couldn't help but be slightly stunned at this moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw mountains of Berries piled up in this treasure vault,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as well as all kinds of gold, silver, and jewelry,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>dazzling to the eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only Li Xiao,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but Arlong, who had followed him in, was also lost in a daze seeing this scene!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had colluded with Colonel Mouse,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>sending a sum of money to bribe Colonel Mouse every year,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he still didn't expect\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that Colonel Mouse could have saved up such a huge amount of wealth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiao took a few steps forward,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and looking around,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>just by a simple estimation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the total value of this treasure vault was no less than hundreds of millions of Berries!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it would be hard to imagine this was the wealth a Marine branch Colonel could possess!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much public money must have been embezzled?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much of the people's blood and sweat must have been scraped away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many bribes must have been accepted?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps for so many years,\u003C\u002Fp>",1409,"2026-06-17T00:58:05.908Z","2026-06-17T01:06:32.065Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
