As the owner of the nautical chart shop had said, the storm indeed lessened significantly after midnight.
By morning, when the dawn light illuminated the sea, everything was calm, as if yesterday's storm had never occurred.
Only the widespread mess along the coast spoke of the storm's terror yesterday.
At this moment, Alvin had already arrived at the seaside. Yesterday, he had killed a Marine base commander, and the Marine would definitely react.
So he had to leave early; once he entered the open sea, with the speed of his jet ski, there was no way the Marine's warships could catch him.
However, he hadn't expected that the Marine didn't pursue him. Instead, the people from Skull Bay, as soon as the storm ceased, immediately led their warships towards the Dareleka Islands!
Alvin came to the seaside, carefully checked the nautical chart, confirmed his direction, and then launched his jet ski, heading towards Flame Island.
When Duke of Bones personally arrived with the people from Skull Bay, the locals informed him that Alvin had already left the Dareleka Islands and disappeared into the vast sea.
And their ships couldn't catch up at all!
Five warships flying the Skull Bay flag were docked at the port, and the atmosphere was exceptionally oppressive!
"Which direction did Red Hawk go?" Duke of Bones asked in a deep voice, suppressing his immense anger.
"Replying to Duke, his ship was too fast, we couldn't catch up at all..." Salino, Skull Bay's intelligence chief in the Dareleka Islands and one of the local gang leaders, quickly replied.
Just as Duke of Bones was about to unleash his fury on him, a man in a suit appeared and provided the direction Alvin had taken.
"Duke of Bones, I am an intelligence officer for the World Government. There are only three possible destinations for Red Hawk Alvin.
The closest ones are Coral Kingdom, Forgotten Corridor, and Iron Thorns Island.
However, according to our judgment, he is most likely heading to Coral Kingdom..." The man in the suit finished speaking formally and then just looked at Duke of Bones.
Duke of Bones stared at the man in the suit, and his aura suddenly pressed down on him, but the man in the suit showed no reaction.
"Hmph! As expected of someone from the World Government. Proceed to Coral Kingdom immediately!" Duke of Bones gave a decisive order. Before his voice had even faded, he was already back on his warship.
"Yes!"
"Duke of Bones!" The others quickly responded, then returned to their warships and immediately set off towards Coral Kingdom!
Duke of Bones knew that the World Government was providing him with intelligence to use him to eliminate Alvin, but he didn't care.
His successor had been killed; if he didn't respond, how could he continue to operate in the West Blue? Duke of Bones also had his pride!
After Duke of Bones's fleet departed, the World Government intelligence officer immediately reported the matter to Marineford.
----
Oto Island.
Robin looked at the news on the newspaper in disbelief. She hadn't expected Alvin to have killed a Marine branch base commander.
And Luna · Enchanting Flame, Duke of Bones's adopted daughter!
Having wandered in the West Blue for so many years, she naturally knew how terrifying Duke of Bones was. Now, Alvin had actually provoked Duke of Bones...
"Alvin..." Robin's gaze turned towards the Dareleka Islands, her worry unable to dissipate.
----
After about three or four hours, Alvin had already reached Coral Kingdom.
Coral Kingdom is a massive island formed over thousands of years by countless coral reefs, with a landscape already indistinguishable from true land.
The reason he came to Coral Kingdom was because traveling to Flame Island would pass through Coral Kingdom, and at the speed of the jet ski, it would take about a day to reach Flame Island from Coral Kingdom.
Traveling on the sea at night makes it easy to lose direction, so he had no choice but to rest one night at Coral Kingdom before departing.
When the people at Coral Kingdom's port saw Alvin retrieve his jet ski into his spatial storage, they immediately recognized Alvin's identity. In this world, the recognition of a ship is always higher than that of a person.
For a moment, everyone at the port focused their attention on Alvin, whispering and discussing, some even immediately moving away from Alvin, fearing they might be killed by him.
After all, what Alvin had 'done' in the Dareleka Islands had terrified them greatly.
Alvin ignored their gazes, calmly walking towards the prosperous area on the island. Now that he had learned Armament Haki, hiding his presence was not his style.
However, the World Government intelligence officers hidden in Coral Kingdom immediately reported the intelligence to their superiors.
Soon, on the sea between the Dareleka Islands and Coral Kingdom, Duke of Bones received intelligence that Alvin had already landed at Coral Kingdom.
Unlike Skull Bay, His Majesty Xavier, the King of Coral Kingdom, was a diligent and benevolent monarch who loved his people.
However, his own strength was also very formidable.
"The World Government's intelligence network is indeed incredibly powerful. Red Hawk truly did land at Coral Kingdom. However, Xavier, I hope you don't make things difficult for this Duke..." Duke of Bones gazed in the direction of Coral Kingdom, muttering to himself, his words revealing a chilling killing intent.
But he was also very shocked; he hadn't expected Alvin's ship to be so fast. They still needed at least another day to reach Coral Kingdom.
----
Coral Kingdom Palace. Alvin had not been ashore for long when His Majesty Xavier, the King, received a report that Red Hawk Alvin had landed in his country.
He hadn't expected Red Hawk to land in his country, which made him feel uneasy. This was a cruel and murderous great pirate!
Red Hawk had killed so many Marines and civilians, and even eliminated a Marine branch base commander, as well as Skull Bay's most outstanding junior, Luna · Enchanting Flame.
He knew that Duke of Bones was extremely fond of Luna, his adopted daughter. Now that Luna had been killed by Red Hawk, he would definitely take revenge himself!
Thinking of the troublesome Duke of Bones, His Majesty Xavier felt a throbbing pain in his head.
"What a troublesome problem..." His Majesty Xavier rubbed his head, feeling a bit distressed.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? Should we drive Red Hawk away?" asked Marcus, the Defense Minister, whose hair and beard were somewhat graying.
"We cannot provoke him. Red Hawk is an inhumane, cruel, and bloodthirsty pirate.
Here's what we'll do, Marcus. You go and make contact with him. Warn him not to harm the civilians of our country, otherwise I will personally take action!
And he cannot stay here for too long. Have him leave immediately after replenishing his supplies!" His Majesty Xavier ordered gravely after a moment of deliberation.
"This old man understands, His Majesty Xavier!" Marcus immediately accepted the order, then left the palace and headed towards the Port City.
"I hope no accidents happen, sigh..." His Majesty Xavier looked in the direction of the port, muttering helplessly.
"His Majesty Xavier!"
"This is bad!"
"Red Hawk Alvin has had a conflict with pirates replenishing supplies here!" Suddenly, an urgent voice came.
"What?!" His Majesty Xavier was incredulous. He had just been hoping that Red Hawk wouldn't cause a disturbance here, and before the thought had even faded, bad news immediately arrived?
