Chapter 229

If they chose to flee directly now, it would surely draw Akainu's attention, and the Wuhaishang Society's legitimate identity would be useless forever.

Hearing Lin Yu's arrangement, Anna and Sharley immediately took Bonney into the cabin.

"I'm timid; I'll go in too."

Miquita muttered and followed the three into the cabin.

Seeing this, Perona packed up her doll materials and ran into the cabin to hide.

Finally, only Luo Bin and Lin Yu remained on the deck.

"I was not thorough; I did not consider the reaction of a Navy Admiral before," Luo Bin said, blaming herself.

If not for her suggestion, Lin Yu might not have encountered Akainu now.

Hearing this, Lin Yu chuckled lightly. "This is not your fault. If I had not chased Hawkins and Bonney, we would have left here long ago."

Hearing Lin Yu's comforting words, Luo Bin pressed her lips together.

Perhaps sensing Luo Bin's tension, Lin Yu took her hand and smiled:

"Rest assured. Once we exceed the alert range, I will flee immediately."

"I will never take risks!"

Feeling the warmth from that palm, Luo Bin's tense heart relaxed, and she nodded heavily:

"I trust you."

On a Navy warship.

Navy Admiral Akainu Sakazuki stood at the bow, patiently listening to his subordinate's report.

"Lord Sakazuki, the One-Eyed Sea Monster Pirate Crew has been annihilated by someone; both people and ship have sunk to the bottom of the sea."

"The annihilators are the Wuhaishang Society, famous in the North Blue. The method was cannon fire."

"The Wuhaishang Society?" Akainu frowned, looking at the subordinate behind him.

To prevent too many pirates from escaping, after leaving the Navy Headquarters, Akainu Sakazuki did not rush to Sabaody Archipelago but took a detour to this sea area, preparing to encircle and kill those pirates.

This was also to prevent the God-Slayer Lin Yu from fleeing in this direction after receiving news.

Hearing Akainu's question, the Navy adjutant explained:

"The Wuhaishang Society is very famous in the North Blue; it is a society known for annihilating pirates."

"They never engage in boarding battles with pirates; they rely entirely on cannons to annihilate them."

"Many nobles and large companies in the North Blue are seeking cooperation with the Wuhaishang Society, but I never expected them to come to Sabaody Archipelago."

Hearing the adjutant's explanation, Akainu Sakazuki frowned.

A society that can use cannons to annihilate a pirate crew with a bounty of tens of millions—how could this be something an ordinary society could do?

Moreover, the fact that the other party left Sabaody Archipelago at this time made him feel something was wrong.

Just as Navy Admiral Akainu was about to order someone to investigate this society ship, a lookout came to his side and said:

"Lord Admiral, a pirate ship has been spotted to the front-left. It is suspected to be the Great Knife Manji Pirate Crew with a bounty of fifty million!"

"They have spotted us and are turning direction to leave."

Hearing this, Akainu frowned again.

However, before he could make arrangements, Akainu saw that ship of the Wuhaishang Society opposite turn direction and charge toward the newly appeared pirate ship.

This reaction of the Wuhaishang Society ship left the Navy on Akainu's ship stunned.

Generally, the Navy annihilates pirates, and pirates plunder merchant ships, just like big fish eating small fish.

But a society so eager to annihilate pirates—they had never seen one like this before.

For a moment, these Navy men even began to doubt whether the people on that Wuhaishang Society ship opposite were Navy or a society.

Seeing the Wuhaishang Society ship chase the Great Knife Manji Pirate Crew ship away, and glancing once more toward Sabaody Archipelago, Akainu ordered:

"Continue sailing; proceed to Sabaody Archipelago first."

"Keep close watch for flying ships in the half-air to prevent the criminal Lin Yu from escaping using a flying ship."

Capturing the criminal Lin Yu was Akainu's main mission for coming to Sabaody Archipelago this time.

Although that Wuhaishang Society ship was suspicious, compared to the criminal Lin Yu, it was utterly insignificant.

"Yes, Lord Admiral."

Hearing Akainu's arrangement, the adjutant received the order and hurriedly withdrew.

On the God Slave.

"It seems Akainu has not suspected anything."

Seeing the warship Akainu boarded sail toward Sabaody Archipelago, Luo Bin relaxed.

Lin Yu also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, the Wuhaishang Society's legitimate identity was preserved.

Afterwards, Lin Yu smiled:

"Speaking of which, I really must thank that pirate ship that appeared ahead."

"If they had not appeared in time, we would not have found a suitable reason to deviate from the Navy's sailing direction."

Hearing this, Luo Bin laughed and said:

"Then how do you plan to thank them?"

Lin Yu shrugged and smiled: "Then let's send them off."

After some time.

【Ding! Annihilated the Great Knife Manji Pirate Crew; can automatically obtain the opponent's treasure...】

Above a certain Sky Island.

Boom!

"Hey, Luffy!"

"Get out here!"

A wall of a small courtyard was suddenly smashed, and Garp walked in picking his nose.

"Gr, Grandpa, why are you here!"

"Are you here to kill me!"

Luffy of the Straw Hats, who was hosting a banquet, looked at the suddenly appearing Garp wearing a dog-head hat, his face filled with shock and cold sweat streaming down.

"What?"

Zoro, Sanji, Urouge, and others nearby heard Luffy's words and were immediately shocked.

"The Marine Hero Garp is your grandfather?"
