"Lieutenant General Robert is the head of the base in charge of this area. Those of us on the island who make a living by the sea dare not offend him. He can seize your boats and close your shops. He takes a cut of all the business on this island...

"Young man, you are still young, so please don't go down the path of breaking the law and committing crimes!"

A local thug, with his head covered, told the truth without hesitation.

It was really unfair. He was just walking down the street when he was suddenly hit with a club. When he woke up, he found a knife at his neck. He was so scared that he wet his pants when he was three years old.

This was naturally all arranged by Xia.

A prosperous resource-based business like this will definitely give birth to a vibrant social group. Most of them are local bosses and well-informed. If you have any questions, you can always go to them for help. So Ethan arranged for a lucky person to be randomly selected for questioning.

After asking what he wanted, he knocked the gangster unconscious.

"Sure enough, this Vice Admiral Robert is very dirty. No wonder the people on the island are so afraid of the navy."

Xia said.

"Do you want to report it to headquarters?"

Ethan asked.

Xia shook his head and said.

"Words are not enough. It is too difficult to convict a base commander based on words.

Now that we have encountered it, we can't just ignore it.

We split into two groups. Barrett led people to visit the surrounding fishermen, merchants, and people to collect more clues.

I'm going to the naval base to visit this Vice Admiral Robert!"

Xia had something in his mind that he didn't say out loud.

'But how is this place related to the CPs? The CPs must have a purpose for appearing here... Robert must know something!'

Xia thought.

Since manpower was needed to gather information, Xia simply went to the naval base alone.

As soon as they walked near the base, Xia discovered a strange person under his observation.

From the perspective of Shana who can see through everything in the world, this person's strength is just okay, but his body structure is obviously different from that of ordinary people. His bones and muscles are completely different from those of normal humans!

Xia became curious and quietly moved over.

I saw a fishman tiptoeing towards the naval base under the cover of various vegetation!

It’s actually a fishman!

Although the World Government absorbed Fish-Man Island as one of its member states two hundred years ago, the status of fish-men and mermaids is still very low among humans.

Due to strong racial discrimination and slave trade, fishmen and mermaids rarely leave Fishman Island and appear in the outside world.

Now we actually see traces of a murloc here, and he is related to Lieutenant General Robert!

The fishman wanted to sneak up to the high wall of the base, but the plants within a hundred meters around the naval base had already been cut down, and there was no cover to move forward.

Just when the fishman was worried, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"who are you?"

The fishman was startled, turned around and punched behind him, but was firmly held by an iron hand.

Xia said as he looked at the fishman in front of him.

"Robert and I are not in the same group. I am here to cause trouble for him."

The fishman said without stopping his struggle.

"You are obviously a marine, yet you say you are not in the same group with him! You are full of lies!"

Seeing that the fishmen were making more and more noises, Xia was afraid of attracting the attention of the patrol soldiers in the base, so he directly released his domineering aura!

The sublimated domineering aura was as wide as an arm, covering the area around the fishman. The fishman originally wanted to struggle, but was startled by the sudden domineering aura. Realizing the huge gap in strength between them, he immediately became obedient.

"This is not the place to talk, come with me."

Seeing that the fishman was calmed down by his physical strength, Xia let go of his hand and turned away.

The fishman thought about it and followed Xia.

The two came to a secluded corner.

Xia asked.

"Who are you and why do you want to go to the naval base?"

The fishman replied.

“My name is Fisher Tiger, I’m from Fishman Island, and I’m an adventurer.

I have been traveling around the world on adventures, and when I passed by here, I accidentally overheard a conversation among the navy..."

It turns out he is Fisher Tiger.

He is still very young now, and Xia didn't recognize him at first.

The future captain of the Sun Pirates, the man who climbed up the Red Earth Continent with his bare hands and rescued countless slaves!

Xia listened slowly to Tiger's story. It turned out that when he swam near Pearl Island, he accidentally heard the conversation between two navy men on a passing warship.

It mentioned that Lieutenant General Robert wanted to capture a mermaid or a merman. Now they have a clue and they just need to take action!

Upon hearing the news that his compatriot might be arrested, Tiger took it very seriously.

So Tiger landed on Pearl Island, intending to secretly monitor the actions of the navy to confirm whether this was true.

Xia caught him red-handed.

"Are you sure you heard right?"

"I'm absolutely sure! This involves the safety of my compatriots, how could I have heard it wrong!"

Tiger said angrily.

"Who are you? Aren't you a marine? How come you're not in the same group as Tiger?"

Xia replied.

“Robert is the commander of this base. I am a foreign navy and am not under his jurisdiction.

I heard some bad things about him so I decided to come and check it out.”

Without waiting for Tiger to continue thinking, Xia said.

“I still don’t know what caused the incident, but I have a rough idea of ​​it.

Listen to me, let’s do this…”

Xia leaned close to Tiger's ear and whispered to him. After listening, Tiger looked at Xia suspiciously, thought about it and decided to trust him for the time being!

He turned around and left.

After learning the key information from Tiger, Xia no longer planned to visit Vice Admiral Robert. He gathered all his companions and returned to the ship.

----

"Yes, Lord Samba, I have checked. There is a warship coming to the island, led by a brigadier general. Don't worry, I will definitely not let them ruin our business..."

After giving Samba a series of assurances, Robert hung up the phone, sweating profusely.

He didn't dare tell the truth to Samba.

It is true that the commander of this warship is a brigadier general, but he knows this person, he is Admiral Zefa’s disciple!

When his men found out that the team was led by a Brigadier General named Xia, Robert knew who the visitor was at the first moment. However, he couldn't do anything about Xia, who was a favorite among the generals, and he believed that Xia would not give him this face.

But the plan is about to be implemented and time waits for no one. In order to reassure Samba, Robert can only deceive him that he can settle the matter with Xia.

Just when Robert was having a headache about what to do, his subordinates suddenly reported.

"Lieutenant General, the warship has already left!"

Robert was overjoyed.

"What did you say? Driven away? Hahaha, okay, drive away!"
