One Piece: Shadow of the Navy

Cohen and his team led hundreds of naval soldiers to Lalan Town. Along the way, residents of the town or people on passing ships were giving way to them.

What was very strange was that everyone around them was watching them, but they were also on guard against them. Whenever they passed by, the people around them would automatically give way to a wide road and not let them get close.

But their eyes have never moved away from Cohen and the others. They will not look away until Cohen and the others leave their sight range.

No matter what they were doing, when Cohen and the others passed by, they would stop what they were doing and look directly at Cohen and the others until they saw that Cohen and the others had disappeared from their sight. They will continue to do what they are doing.

In this weird atmosphere, Cohen and others passed through the square and entered Lalan Town. Then they passed through the first half of Lalan Town and arrived at the central square of Lalan Town.

After arriving at the square in the center of the town, Cohen and others finally met a group of people who didn't stare at them the first time.

This large square is located in the center of Lalan Town. There are several roads around it that extend into the town. Looking down from the top of Lalan Town, the roads around this square connect all the roads in the town. It's like a spider web.

In the center of the square, there stands a six or seven-meter-tall statue.

The statue is of a lady with an exquisite face. She should be wearing a robe, which looks very much like a doctor's overalls, and she has a medicine box on her shoulder. She should be a medical staff.

She bent forward slightly, with her right hand pressing the medicine box at her waist, and her left hand stretched forward, with her fingers slightly apart, as if she was spreading something forward, with a smile on her face, even a statue could see from her Her gentle smile could be seen on her face.

Under the statue, directly facing the outstretched hand, there is a small platform. At this time, dozens of people who did not look at Cohen and his group for the first time were kneeling on the platform, looking towards them with pious expressions. The statue kneels in worship.

Cohen and others stopped and stood in the square, looking at the group of people kneeling on the stage.

After a while, a group of people kneeling on the stage stood up one after another, walked off the stage, walked to one side of the stage, and then stood looking straight at Cohen and others.

On the other side, a group of people who were looking directly at Cohen and others stopped staring at Cohen and others. They walked up to the stage and knelt down on the stage. They were very pious and ignored them. Cohen et al.

While this group of people were kneeling on the stage, another group of people came out from the surrounding roads. Without looking at Cohen and others, they walked straight to the stage, stood next to the stage, and then began to look straight at Staring at Cohen and others.

After a while, the people who were kneeling on the stage stood up, left the stage, walked to the side, and joined the group of people who were staring directly at Cohen and others.

The group of people who came after them gave up staring at Cohen and others, walked to the stage, and began to kneel down devoutly.

At this time, another group of people came from the surrounding roads and stood beside the stage, looking directly at Cohen and others.

"Boss Cohen, something is not right about this situation." Shankos came close to Cohen and whispered in Cohen's ear.

"I know." Cohen looked at the group of people kneeling on the stage, and then looked up at the tall lady statue. "Don't worry about it for now. Let's go to the 213th branch base first."

Afterwards, Cohen ignored the people in the square, turned around and continued walking quickly towards the location of the 213th branch base with a kind of navy.

Along the way, the group of people walked outside the 213th branch base despite the strange looks from people walking towards the square.

The 213th branch base is a stone building on the edge of Lalan Town. It covers a large area and looks like a castle.

On the stone pillar on the right side of the door, the words "Navy Branch 213" are engraved, and on the top of the building, there is a Navy seagull flag flying.

Shankos looked at the flag flying on the top of the building, and then at the line of words on the stone pillar, "Is this the 213th branch base? It's well built."

"Actually, if it weren't for that flag and this line of text, I would have doubted whether this was a naval branch base. There wasn't even a guard." Vio Common looked at the flag fluttering in the wind. Seagull Flag said with an inexplicable expression.

"Um..." Shankos looked around and said in surprise, "It's really true. If you don't tell me, Kang Meng, I haven't noticed it yet. There is indeed no guard."

"Perhaps Major General Kebiluo has enough confidence in them, and the door is still closed in broad daylight." Aimengfan took two steps forward, stretched out his hand and pressed on the side of the stone pillar that had no words engraved on it, and said .

"Wow wow wow..."

Suddenly, a running sound came from the iron door.

Aimengfan, who pressed his hand on the stone pillar, withdrew his hand, moved his feet quickly, and returned to the formation, standing next to Cohen.

"squeak"

The iron door was slowly opened.

Then, amid a burst of running sounds, a group of navy soldiers ran out of the opened door, and then divided into two teams, one on the left and one on the right, semi-surrounding Cohen and others.

And with a burst of "clatter", the gun in the hands of the naval soldier was pointed at Cohen and others.

When the navy soldiers who ran out of the 213th branch base raised their guns at Cohen and others, nearly a hundred soldiers from the navy headquarters following Cohen also instantly changed into a semicircle, and they were also "clashing" After a burst of noise, he also pointed his gun at the naval soldiers from the 213th branch.

In an instant, two groups of naval soldiers from different places confronted each other with guns raised.

More than 200 people faced each other with guns raised. For a moment, no one spoke, only the heavy breathing of the soldiers from the headquarters.

Cohen turned his head and glanced at the naval soldiers who semi-surrounded them, without saying a word.

The surrounding soldiers of the 213th detachment had also noticed the justice cloak that Cohen was wearing and the epaulettes on his shoulders that were very similar to their commander, but no one said anything, they just quietly raised their guns. Stand.

At this time, the naval soldiers at the entrance of the 213th branch base made a commotion and moved away, and Cohen and others also looked there.
