Chapter 95

Back then, their opposition to Big Snake and departure from Wano Country were purely because Big Snake and Kaido had gone too far, inciting widespread anger, leaving them no choice but to rebel.

Now that Wano Country has become so good, they have no reason to oppose General Yamato.

Both of them, along with Uzuki's Master living in Flower Capital, Tengu Mountain Fly, maintained a tacitly approving attitude toward Wano Country's current situation, mentioning the Kozuki Clan not a single word.

88. Vergo's Oath of Fealty, Capture Trafalgar Law! (Requesting Subscriptions)

G5 Branch is considered one of the Navy's largest bases in the New World.

And as the base commander of this location, Bamboo Ghost Vergo, his strength was quite formidable, not inferior to a Navy Vice Admiral.

It's just that no one inside the Navy knew that Vergo was actually the highest-ranking officer of the Donquixote Family, a spy planted by Doflamingo within the Navy.

Unfortunately, Doflamingo was killed by Luo Xing, and the main base Dressrosa was occupied by the Beasts Crew.

He, a spy who had been thriving within the Navy, instantly became a masterless person, a rootless tree.

If Vergo could forget his past identity from now on, completely change his stance, and honestly serve as a Navy officer, that would be fine.

But the ambition and pirate nature lurking deep within his heart made him unwilling to do so.

He longed to see the Wang Zuo on the great sea, longed to follow someone and ascend to that highest peak!

In the past, he believed the person who would ultimately ascend the Wang Zuo must be Doflamingo; alas, Doflamingo was already dead.

Thus,

Vergo shifted his gaze to Luo Xing, the one who killed Doflamingo, and shifted it to the Beasts Crew.

He uncontrollably developed the idea of defecting to the Beasts Crew.

The Beasts Crew, capable of killing Doflamingo, is more likely than Doflamingo to ascend to the final Wang Zuo!

Vergo was not a hesitant person; he immediately Made a Decision to join the Beasts Crew's camp.

To gain the Beasts Crew's trust, he planned to present them with a gift upon meeting, an oath of fealty.

Namely, Law, who initially stole the Ope Ope no Fruit worth five billion Berries from the Donquixote Family!

Vergo used his identity as the Navy base commander to search everywhere for Law's information.

He quickly saw Law's wanted poster.

A terrible and chilling smile appeared on Vergo's face.

He once again utilized the Navy's intelligence network Spread Across the World, spent a Few Days' Effort, and finally found Law's specific whereabouts.

On a small island in the first half of the Grand Line.

Vergo acted decisively, deploying all warships of the G5 Branch, leaving only a small force to guard the base, and under the banner of exterminating pirates, led the remaining marines into the first half of the Grand Line.

Unaware of this, Trafalgar Law was currently holding a banquet with his Heart Pirates crewmates.

He had just used Room to catch several rabbits and wild boars, sitting by the bonfire, grilling meat while drinking.

Every now and then, he would pat Beppo a few times, feeling that such a life was truly comfortable; even without the goal of revenge, it seemed nothing major.

Law thought leisurely.

Suddenly, a piercing alarm sound came from the coast.

The Mink warrior, Panda Man Beppo, jumped up immediately: "What's wrong, what's wrong, did something happen?"

The member responsible for the lookout duty ran breathlessly from the coast, shouting:

"Captain, it's bad! It's the Navy! The Navy has come to hunt us down!"

Beppo immediately screamed exaggeratedly:

"The Navy? How did they know we were here? This is just a deserted uninhabited island!"

Law, truly worthy of being a captain, showed no expression of panic and said calmly:

"Even if we knew how the Navy discovered us, it would be meaningless for the current situation."

Law looked at the crewmate who came to report, pointing directly at the crux of the problem.

"How many troops did the Navy deploy? How many warships are there?"

Knowing these two points is the true key.

That crewmate said: "There are three warships, and probably several hundred troops."

Hiss!

Hearing such an answer, even as calm as Law was, he couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath of cold air.

The Navy actually deployed three warships; this is too incredible!

You must know,

Law's Heart Pirates had only just entered the Grand Line and had not committed any major incidents.

Law's current bounty is only a few tens of millions.

Sending one warship to capture him would be normal.

Sending two would be making a mountain out of a molehill.

As for sending three, Law could only think that someone within the Navy was targeting him!

"Who exactly is targeting me?"

Law's mind raced, but for a moment, he had no leads.

Besides, this was not the time to think.

He took several deep breaths, forcing himself to remain calm, and said to the crewmates around him:

"Abandon all the treasure and food in your hands, take only your weapons, get on the ship immediately, and leave here!"

The Navy sent three warships and several hundred troops; engaging in battle is absolutely impossible, only escape remains.

Law's pirate ship is a submarine, capable of diving very deep underwater.

Even if the three incoming warships form a pincer movement against him, he can slip away underwater.

The members of the Heart Pirates, knowing the urgency of the situation, immediately complied.

In just five minutes, everyone had boarded the submarine.

The Navy's three warships had also entered their field of vision.

Luo stared intently at the figures on the warship, and one of them made his pupils contract sharply.

"It's him, Vergo! He actually didn't die along with Doflamingo!"

Luo now understood who had been targeting him.

If it was Vergo, it was no surprise, because Vergo knew he had eaten the Op-Op Fruit.

Luo suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said only one sentence: "Dive immediately, run!"

The crew hurriedly operated the submarine to dive.

On the warship's deck, several hundred meters away.

A mocking half-smile played across Vergo's face:

"Luo, I spent so much effort to find you—did you think I'd let you escape so easily?"

Vergo raised his hand and said to the adjutant behind him:

"Fire the torpedoes, blow their submarine out of the water."

"Yes, sir!" The adjutant acknowledged the order and left.

Not long after.

One torpedo after another was launched from the bottom of the warship.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Causing a massive explosion on the seabed.

Inside the submarine, Bepo screamed in terror:

"It's over, it's over, we're really done for now! The Navy actually prepared torpedoes!"

Trafalgar Law's face was also uglier than ever, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Vergo, you bastard!"

Boom!

Suddenly the submarine shook violently—a torpedo exploded less than a meter away.

A crew member shouted: "The submarine's been cracked open, seawater is flooding in!"

Luo could no longer stay calm and roared: "Seal the breach immediately!"

"We can't seal it, Captain, the breach is too big!"

Luo's body swayed.

If the submarine dove any further, he, a Devil Fruit user, would surely perish in the sea.

It seemed he couldn't escape today.
