Chapter 37: Always Loyal, Double the Feedback

Navy Headquarters, Marineford.

Inside the Admiral's office.

Admiral Fujitora was currently listening to the report from "Meeting King" Branew.

"Has no word been found on the Saint Rozwald yet?"

Only after Branew finished his report did Fujitora speak.

Because no trace of Lin Yu had been found, the Navy had been unable to take action against him, and could only task the North Blue branch with investigating his whereabouts.

Pirates were most annoying precisely for this reason: after looting towns, they simply vanished into the vast ocean, making pursuit extremely difficult.

Although the Navy had captured many pirates in the North Blue recently, they still had not found any trace of Lin Yu.

"Admiral Fujitora, the Saint Rozwald has vanished as if it never existed—no trace of it has been detected at all."

"And none of the shipyards in the North Blue have any record of modifying a giant vessel."

"The god-slayer... criminal Lin Yu, may have already abandoned the ship and fled."

Branew corrected himself mid-sentence.

Due to the World Government's orders, the Navy dared not openly refer to Lin Yu as the God-Slayer, but only as the criminal Lin Yu.

Upon hearing this, Fujitora frowned, his expression darkening.

The World Government was pressing hard, yet the Navy still had no clue where the man was—this made his report extremely difficult to deliver.

After a moment's thought, Fujitora asked further:

"Have there been any recent incidents in the North Blue?"

Branew answered immediately:

"No major events have occurred in the North Blue recently."

"However, there is a merchant vessel called the Wuhaishang Society that has been killing pirates fleeing toward the Grand Line near Reverse Mountain waters, and rescuing many merchant ships and cruise liners."

"Among the pirates they've killed, many had bounties of several million Berries."

"Because this society has demonstrated considerable strength, many merchant guilds in the North Blue are seeking cooperation with the Wuhaishang Society."

"However, rumors suggest this society has already sailed toward the East Blue."

Wuhaishang Society?

Sailed toward the East Blue?

Fujitora frowned—he had never heard of this society before.

"How do they kill the pirates?" Fujitora asked Branew.

"According to reports, the Wuhaishang Society typically uses their ship's ram to directly collide with pirate vessels, then destroys them with muskets and cannons—never engaging in boarding actions, and never looting treasure."

Never boarding, never looting—just destroying pirate ships outright. This doesn't sound like that bastard Lin Yu.

Otherwise, with his swordsmanship capable of slaughtering all the Celestial Dragon guards and CP0 agents, he wouldn't bother with such trouble—after all, pirate ships are worth a fortune.
