Chapter 856

Bloop-bloop~

The phone-worm's distinctive, shrill voice lingered around Ben Beike Man's ears.

Immediately,

he pulled the phone-worm from his chest.

placed it against his ear,

connected!

"This is Ben Beike Man."

Ben Beike Man's lips twitched slightly, speaking first.

"Vice Captain, it's me!"

"You previously instructed me to keep constant watch on the East Blue's movements..."

"Just now, I sensed it."

"The Marines have dispatched a warship—it has now returned to the East Blue and is steadily closing in on Windmill Village!"

A voice filled with urgency came from the phone-worm.

"A Marine warship? Approaching Windmill Village?"

"Is it after us?"

Ben Beike Man's eyes narrowed.

Yet, as Vice Captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, he naturally would not lose his composure.

It was merely a single Marine warship...

still incapable of posing a serious threat to them.

He did not believe it.

A single Marine warship could not possibly put the Red-Haired Pirates in danger.

"It seems the Marines have noticed us."

"This is not a good thing."

"If we continue lingering in Windmill Village, the Marines will likely send even more forces."

"If the Marines dispatch troops to surround us..."

"It will certainly bring trouble."

Ben Beike Man frowned deeply, sinking into thought.

Before he could ask for further details,

the next second.

From the phone-worm came a voice brimming with terror.

"Vice Captain, you may not know— that warship approaching Windmill Village is led personally by the Marine hero, Captain Kapu!"

"I saw him!"

"That legendary Marine!"

"Captain Kapu!"

The voice faded,

echoing and lingering around Ben Beike Man's ears.

His right hand, gripping the phone-worm, stiffened slightly; his pupils shrank, his face turned pale.

Originally,

his calm, unflappable expression had been ripped apart by a storm-like surge, his entire inner being shaken with unprecedented force.

The few words transmitted by the phone-worm delivered an unprecedented psychological blow to Ben Beike Man.

A crushing pressure surged into his chest all at once.

For a moment,

even the composed Ben Beike Man could not help but break into a cold sweat on his forehead.

"Y-You what?!"

He completely lost his composure.

A moment later,

Ben Beike Man, his heart heavy and stunned, hastily slammed the phone-worm shut.

Then,

he approached Red-Haired.

Huh!

He exhaled heavily,

looked at Red-Haired, and spoke in a heavy tone: "Red-Haired, our situation is likely dire."

"What do you mean?"

Red-Haired asked, startled.

"An extremely terrifying presence is about to arrive at Windmill Village!"

"It seems..."

"It has come specifically for us!"

Ben Beike Man said.

"An extremely terrifying presence?"

Red-Haired was even more astonished.

Even Vice Captain Ben Beike Man showed a look so heavy.

It was foreseeable,

that man was by no means ordinary!

"Who is it?"

Red Hair asked again.

"Captain Kapu!"

"The legendary marine hero!"

"He has now arrived in the East Sea, and will soon descend upon Windmill Village!"

Ben Beike Man took a deep breath and gave the honest answer.

"Huh?!"

Red Hair's pupils shrank slightly, his face drastically changed.

"What did you say? Captain Kapu?!"

"He is about to return to Windmill Village?!"

At this moment,

even Red Hair was thrown into panic.
