"Onigumo, didn't you find anything inside?" A shout came from outside.
"I'm Onigumo. I'm here to replace your team to search Grove 13. You can go and rest."
A trace of joy couldn't help but flash across the tired faces of the Marine soldiers present.
After all, even a person made of iron couldn't stand being sleepy.
If this continued, they were afraid that they would have died of exhaustion before they even encountered the Skeletal Demon.
Once they really met, in this state, facing the Death Legion led by the Skeletal Demon.
That would be even more of a dead end.
Feeling the change in the atmosphere in the room, Onigumo's face sank, and his gloomy gaze swept around the bar and said, "I know you've worked hard. Go back and rest for five hours first, and then continue to search."
"It's not that I'm being harsh on you, it's that the situation this time is very serious. That madman even publicly beheaded the World Nobles. The two Admirals also lost face in public because they underestimated the enemy. If we can't find that kid even after digging three feet into the ground, then we'll dig ten feet to find him."
"Otherwise, we won't be able to handle it either."
After dropping these scolding words, Onigumo didn't continue to stay and turned around and left first.
Watching the figure leave, the Marine soldiers present secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then quickly followed.
In their eyes, whatever responsibility there was, it wouldn't be their turn to be responsible for as low-level Marine soldiers.
There were still Fleet Admirals, Admirals, and Vice Admirals above them to take the blame.
As the sound of footsteps faded away, eventually disappearing within hearing range, Shakky secretly breathed a sigh of relief after repeatedly confirming that there was nothing wrong outside and turned back to look at Kai and said, "Kid, I didn't expect you to have this kind of method. You have a look of confidence."
"Is this also one of your Devil Fruit abilities? I heard that you can not only create the Death Legion, but also have super-large-range attack methods. Now you also have this kind of camouflage. No wonder no one can find you."
Regarding Shakky's words, Rayleigh also nodded in agreement.
They could finally know why Kai clearly hadn't left the Sabaody Archipelago, but the Marines couldn't find him.
"Hehe, it's all camouflage. If you use Observation Haki to carefully investigate, you'll still be discovered."
Kai chuckled and then slapped the delicate butt that was sitting on his lap.
"Ah, you pervert!" Bonney exclaimed, and her entire person jumped off Kai's lap like a slingshot.
Her pretty face instantly turned red, and she glared at Kai hatefully, biting her small tiger teeth.
If it wasn't for Kai's methods, she probably would have exploded already.
"What's wrong? You're clearly relying on me and unwilling to leave, and you're still calling me a pervert. I'm still saying that men and women shouldn't touch."
Kai rolled his eyes and said, "If I didn't do this, and you shouted, we would have been discovered."
When entering the bar, Kai had set up a genjutsu barrier around it.
With his current Mangekyou Sharingan's ability, this was just an easy thing to do.
However, this kind of genjutsu was at most just a camouflage. If you used Observation Haki, which was similar to mental probing, to carefully search, you would still find clues.
It was just that this bar had been searched many times, and those Marine soldiers were already exhausted, and they had clearly worn out their patience.
Watching Kai, who was biting back, Bonney stomped her feet angrily and said, "You lecher, you don't even know how to cherish women. You deserve to be single for the rest of your life. There will definitely be no one in this world who will like someone like you. Even if there is, it must be an extremely ugly old woman with a face full of pockmarks and a barrel waist."
The hysterical roar echoed in the bar for a long time, unable to dissipate.
Watching Bonney, who was panting and seemed to have used up all her strength, Shakky and Rayleigh exchanged glances and couldn't help but chuckle.
Kai rolled his eyes and said, "You're not going to say that we're bickering lovers, are you!"
"Haha, you kid, you're really smart. Bickering and bickering all the time makes it easy to get together." Rayleigh laughed heartily.
However, he was quickly glared at by Bonney and said, "Old man, who are bickering lovers with him? The woman who looks at him is either blind or extremely ugly. A great beauty like me wouldn't look at him."
The noisy commotion made Rayleigh and Shakky also laugh and shake their heads.
It was just that, watching Bonney, who was almost going berserk, the two of them didn't want to linger on this topic. Rayleigh hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Kid, you're back to the bar again. You're not planning to ask this old man to coat your ship and go to the New World, are you?"
"I'm telling you, right now, all the ships in the Sabaody Archipelago have been seized by the Marine Headquarters. No ship can leave this place."
Hearing these words, Bonney's anger couldn't help but stagnate.
During this period, she had tried many times, but every port that could go to sea had been blocked, and before she could even approach, she would probably be discovered.
Watching Kai, who had a look of indifference, Bonney glared at him and said, "You're still laughing. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been trapped in this place, living a life of fear every day."
"Although you have great methods, if you want to go to sea, then it's just a fool's dream."
Bonney's words were a bit harsh, but Rayleigh and Shakky clearly agreed.
Their gazes turned in unison, locking onto Kai and said, "Kid, if you really want to go to sea, I'm afraid we can't help you."
"Hehe, rest assured. Counting the time, it should be almost time to go to sea. I'm here this time to see if this girl and you, old man Rayleigh, want to leave together."
Leave together?
Rayleigh couldn't help but be stunned, then shook his head and said, "Just forget about me. Those guys can't find you, so they won't leave soon."
"I still like to drink here. If I have time, I'll gamble. If I'm in a bad mood that day, I'll auction myself off again to see which unlucky guy I can scam money from."
"You old man, you still have the nerve to say this kind of thing. You're really not respecting your elders. If you're not afraid of losing face, I'm afraid."
Shakky glared at him and said, "However, little brother, thank you for your kindness. Old man Rayleigh has let you down. But we're very curious. How are you going to go to sea at this time?"
In Shakky's information, she couldn't find Kai's whereabouts, but that didn't mean that she didn't know the situation of the Sabaody Archipelago.
It could be said that she could easily know how many Marines were searching on Grove 13 right now.
It was just that, because she was afraid that if she left, the Marines would come to her and, without finding her, would eventually label her as an accomplice with Kai.
Then she wouldn't even have the Sabaody Archipelago, this retirement place, anymore.
Right now, Kai said that he had a way to leave safely, which didn't make Shakky interested.
