Chapter 1329: What the Hell Is This

Five large warships were docked at the port. Standing on the port were over a hundred marines. These marines were very special; they were all women, and there wasn't a single man in the ranks.

Behind this hundred-woman army were over a thousand male marines. They stood straight, looking like a group of "in-heat" roosters.

This hundred-woman army was Vice Admiral Tsuru's direct subordinate unit. Don't underestimate them just because they were women; they were an elite force.

"Vice Admiral Tsuru has arrived."

A female marine whispered, trying her best to keep her lips still.

"Don't talk, be careful or the Vice Admiral will deal with you."

"Pfft, no way, Vice Admiral Tsuru is the kindest."

"Look at that old man, yes, that's Mr. Garp. It's said that when he was young, he had a crush on the Vice Admiral."

"Really?"

"Of course, Fleet Admiral Sengoku was apparently his rival in love."

"After we're dismissed, you must tell me the details about this."

The female marines looked heroic, but in reality, they had a penchant for gossip.

"It's said that this time, the Vice Admiral is responsible for escorting a vicious prisoner."

"Piece of cake, what kind of prisoner haven't we escorted before?"

"That is... what the hell is that?!"

A female marine's expression was one of shock. A moment later, the surrounding female marines were all equally shocked.

*Pshhh, pshhh... *

The sound of steam spraying came.

*Thump, thump, thump... *

It seemed something heavy was walking from inside the warship. The first thing that caught the female marines' eyes was a group of male marines holding long guns, their muzzles focused in one direction.

Soon, Su Xiao, wearing the special outer armor, came into the marines' view. The marines on the island were all stunned, their thoughts almost all being: What did this guy do? Why does he need to be escorted like this? Also, who is this?

"Tsuru, isn't this a bit exaggerated?"

Garp glanced at Su Xiao. When he escorted Kaido, he hadn't needed to use this steaming metal.

"Don't lump him in with pirates. Pirates can't manufacture bombs capable of blowing up an island."

Vice Admiral Tsuru had been staring at Su Xiao, focusing on observing his expression. Ever since Su Xiao was captured, she had felt that something was wrong.

Su Xiao walked down the wooden ramp of the ship and arrived on the island. He looked up at the endless red stone wall and immediately realized this was the Red Line Continent.

The first half of the Grand Line and the New World were separated by the Red Line Continent. To get from the New World to the first half of the Grand Line, there were two paths. One was to climb over the Red Line Continent; this was the safest and fastest route. The World Government had built paths on the Red Line Continent to facilitate climbing.

As for the second path, it was Fish-Man Island beneath the Red Line Continent. Only pirates would choose to pass through this deep sea; it was too dangerous.

Su Xiao was surrounded by dozens of marines holding firearms, among whom a dozen were gripping the metal rods connected to his outer armor.

"You intend for me to climb the Red Line Continent wearing this?"

Su Xiao stopped walking.

"Keep moving!"

"Don't stop!"

"Don't move!"

Su Xiao's gaze turned to the marine who shouted "Don't move." The guy was clearly a weirdo among the marines.

The marine's facial expression twisted; with big shots around, he couldn't laugh, absolutely couldn't laugh.

"You guys, stop embarrassing yourselves here."

Garp shouted, slapped the back of the marine's head, and then burst into laughter.

The marine scratched his head, but felt relieved inside; his superior, Garp, didn't seem to mind his mistake.

"Don't just stand there, take over the prisoner."

As soon as Vice Admiral Tsuru finished speaking, the hundred female marines stepped forward, replacing the previous batch of marines to escort Su Xiao.

Compared to those male marines who had been sailing for days and were covered in sweat, these female marines were clearly much more pleasing to the eye, and the air around Su Xiao became much fresher.

Su Xiao's experience was much better, but the hundred female marines were exceptionally nervous. Even though the sun was blazing, some of them had cold sweat seeping out on their faces.

*Pshhh, pshhh... *

Steam sprayed, and under the escort of the hundred tense-faced female marines, Su Xiao walked toward the Red Line Continent.

Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at the naturally composed Su Xiao, then at the highly stressed female soldiers, and sighed helplessly.

Ten minutes later, Su Xiao arrived at the foot of the Red Line Continent. Hundreds of steel wire rope ladders were lowered from above; not all parts of the red rock wall were suitable for climbing.

"You guys climb up as fast as possible."

Vice Admiral Tsuru stepped on the ground, leaped up to a certain height, and with a muffled *thud* from her feet, her body continued to rise.

Kizaru came to Su Xiao's side, grabbed Su Xiao's arm, and partially elementalized his body. With a *whoosh*, he turned into a beam of light and shot straight into the high sky.

In a few minutes at most, Su Xiao arrived at the top of the Red Line Continent. Before he could see the scene clearly, his vision blurred.

About ten minutes later, Su Xiao arrived at the other end of the Red Line Continent. Kizaru's travel speed was definitely among the best in the Navy.

In less than half an hour, Su Xiao was on an island at the other end of the Red Line Continent. This was also a Navy branch.

Not long after, Garp and Vice Admiral Tsuru arrived. The three surrounded Su Xiao. After waiting for about an hour, the female marines finally arrived.

The Navy's efficiency was quite good, but fortunately, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's speed wasn't slow either; it had successfully passed the inspection above the Red Line Continent by blending in with the female marines.

Under the escort of over a hundred female marines, Su Xiao boarded a warship and was locked back into a cell. This cell wasn't much different from the previous one, except the smell of blood was a bit heavier.

The warship sailed on the sea. After arriving at the first half of the Grand Line, the marines were clearly much more relaxed. The New World was pirate territory, while this was Navy territory.

Su Xiao, who had already removed the outer armor, sat in the cell. A few minutes ago, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang sent good news: Kizaru had left, and only Vice Admiral Tsuru and Garp were left to escort him.

Facts proved that these three hadn't come to the New World specifically to capture Su Xiao, but were executing other missions. That mission had failed, which was why the three had targeted Dressrosa.

Right now, the warship was too close to the Red Line Continent, so Su Xiao wasn't ready to implement his jailbreak plan.

After the warship sailed on the sea for over ten minutes, Su Xiao in the cell took a deep breath. His blood flow recovered, his heart rate returned to normal, and an intense hunger struck him.

Su Xiao's small movements in the cell immediately caught Tsuru's attention.

"Save your energy; I don't want to drag you off the ship."

Vice Admiral Tsuru stood up, staring at Su Xiao. For the past few days, Su Xiao had been able to sit in the cell for an entire day without moving.

Su Xiao ignored Vice Admiral Tsuru completely. He concentrated his attention and soon sensed ten alchemy bombs. These alchemy bombs had been attached to the bottom of the warship, their surfaces gradually turning glowing red.

*Boom, boom, boom... *

The entire warship shook. At the same time, a pale blue energy shield wall appeared in front of Su Xiao, and Checking Zhan Long Shan appeared in his hand. He tossed Checking Zhan Long Shan toward his mouth.

Su Xiao bit the hilt of Checking Zhan Long Shan, his masseter muscles bulging. He pressed the blade against the iron chain between his Seastone handcuffs and pulled down with both arms.

*Cling*—a crisp sound, and all seven Seastone iron chains were severed. The legendary-grade Checking Zhan Long Shan was just that sharp.

With his arms free, Su Xiao held Checking Zhan Long Shan in one hand. A flash of blade light passed, and the shackles on his feet, as well as the chains on his body, were all severed.

Large amounts of soap bubbles surged into the cell. Vice Admiral Tsuru's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Su Xiao ignored Vice Admiral Tsuru completely and slashed a few times at the metal wall behind him.

As the long blade cut through the metal wall, it also unleashed several blade auras that struck the wooden planks inside the hull.

How could the hull withstand the blade auras? Several oddly shaped wooden planks flew, and with a *splash*, seawater surged into the cabin.

Vice Admiral Tsuru clenched her fists. The Seastone metal bars hadn't acted as a prison but instead isolated her. As a Devil Fruit user, she couldn't touch Seastone. As for opening the cell door, from the moment Su Xiao took out Checking Zhan Long Shan to the moment he cut open the hull, it took no more than 2 seconds. This wasn't an accidental jailbreak but a long-planned one.

Vice Admiral Tsuru finally understood why Su Xiao often tapped the floor with his handcuffs; he was using sound wave conduction to judge the internal structure of the ship.

The seawater surging into the cabin rose above Su Xiao's knees. He dispelled the energy shield wall, and a large amount of seawater surged toward Vice Admiral Tsuru.

"Thank you for the escort."

Su Xiao smiled at Vice Admiral Tsuru and, bracing against the surging seawater, drilled out of the hull.

In the seawater, Su Xiao slashed Checking Zhan Long Shan across his arm, and the severed Seastone shackles sank to the seabed.

After taking out diving equipment, Su Xiao turned and dove into the sea. He had arrived at the first half of the Grand Line. According to his calculations, he wasn't far from Sabaody Archipelago. ===== CHAPTER 1330 =====
