"Phew... it's much quieter now." Raiden Ei looked around. In various parts of the ship, one or two people wearing barrel-like armor lay collapsed to the side. She guessed they were the Celestial Dragons' guards.
She was in a hurry now; she didn't know when the Marine Admiral would arrive, so she had to leave quickly. She threw the guards on the ship into the sea, not caring whether they would survive. After all, there were risks to working for the Celestial Dragons, weren't there?
This three-masted sailing ship was very ornate and massive. Raiden Ei put the ship into her system backpack; this was her loot. Although she didn't know what was on it yet, she didn't think it would be bad.
After clearing the traces around her to ensure only some broken wood could be found here, Raiden Ei planned to leave. Although it was certain she had offended the World Government and this might be futile, what if they didn't discover she did it? It was better to avoid trouble if possible, and she felt it was worth a gamble.
Raiden Ei's dream ship had been destroyed, and she was now using "Geppo" to head to the next island, intending to rest and then continue to Loguetown.
Half a day later, on this empty sea, a figure flew from afar. He was like running in the sky, quickly rushing here.
Sengoku arrived at the scene of the incident at his fastest speed. Seeing only broken wooden planks floating on the sea and no sign of any Celestial Dragons, he knew he was a step too late; the place was already deserted.
"Am I late? I need to report the situation here to the Fleet Admiral."
With a serious face, Sengoku took out a den den mushi from his pocket and pressed it.
"Puru puru puru"
"Kacha"
Kong's somewhat urgent voice came from the mouth of the den den mushi.
"Sengoku, how is it? Have you reached the destination?"
"Yes, I'm late. The Celestial Dragons might have been killed; there are no traces left here."
"Then go and catch the murderer. The World Government already knows and has sent the CP to the East Blue, demanding that the Marine capture the murderer who dared to kill the Celestial Dragons in the shortest possible time."
"Alright! Has the World Government found out which pirate dared to kill the Celestial Dragons?"
"It's not a pirate on the wanted posters. We don't know the specifics yet, but an hour ago, Morgans gave me some intel. That bird must be trying to create some big news, or else he wouldn't have let anything slip."
"Sengoku, you must be careful not to let Morgans catch any dirt that could defame the Marine."
"Yes, I understand."
"According to the intel from Morgans, the one who attacked the Celestial Dragons was a girl named Raiden Ei. I've sent the photo to you. The Marine and the World Government will confirm the truth of this intel as soon as possible. Whether it's true or false, you need to capture her first."
Sengoku picked up the photo spat out from the den den mushi's mouth and examined it carefully while asking Kong.
"Fleet Admiral, this girl is the Raiden Ei?"
The expression of the den den mushi became even more serious, and the voice coming from it was earnest.
"Hard to believe, right? To be able to kill a member of the CP Organization comparable to a Marine Vice Admiral at such a young age. If this isn't handled well, she might become another great pirate who plagues a region once she grows up."
"I see. Raiden Ei? Does she have any connection to Wano Country?"
"It's unclear for now. It should just be a title. The specifics will take time to investigate. The World Government's CP has already been mobilized, so news should arrive soon."
"Good, I'll go find her now and bring her back to Marineford."
"Yes, I believe in you, Sengoku!
This incident is very harmful to the World Government. You must deal with her at all costs."
"Understood."
"Kacha"
Sengoku hung up the den den mushi, put away the photo and the den den mushi, looked around, and after confirming there was no more information here, used "Geppo" to head to the nearest island for investigation.
Meanwhile, Raiden Ei used her increasingly proficient "Geppo" to cross the boundless sea and found an uninhabited island. The island was full of trees, making it a suitable place for a rest.
"Let's stop here! Being this far away, the Marine and the World Government shouldn't notice me immediately."
She went straight past the edge of the island toward the center of the forest. Before long, she found a serene small pool in the forest, surrounded by the tallest trees.
"Phew, I'll rest here today and continue my journey tomorrow. I wonder if the Marine and the World Government know I'm the one who killed the Celestial Dragons."
Finding a clean large Stone to sit on, Raiden Ei opened the system panel with her consciousness, preparing to look at her loot and Devil Fruits.

"Wow! The panel finally isn't so pathetic."
Raiden Ei checked! If she converted everything that could be converted into energy, she would have almost 20,000 energy points. It seemed today's harvest was plentiful.
She converted the Celestial Dragons' ornate three-masted sailing ship and Bude's corpse into energy. Although she wasn't sure why they were so valuable, after using the system these past few days, she had discovered some items worth a lot of energy.
First are the special items of this world, like Devil Fruits, which are worth a lot of energy. Powerful living beings can also be converted into energy. Metals work too, but they are worth less. As for metals, she now knew that gold was the most valuable; about ten catties of gold could be exchanged for 2-3 energy points.
Now she had 12,058 energy points on her system panel, enough to level up once. However, she decided to save up to 50,000 to upgrade her constitution. She could train her Haki herself, and she would leave the other things for now; they wouldn't go bad anyway.
Raiden Ei looked around. There were no small animals nearby, but she still controlled the range of her Conqueror's Haki release and swept through the surrounding woods.
Only then did she take off her Clothes and go down into the pool to wash her body. Although she wasn't dirty, one still needs to bathe often, right?
Early the next morning, Raiden Ei continued her journey to Loguetown. Although she didn't know how big of a stir her killing the Celestial Dragons had caused, she chose to set off now. If she couldn't win, couldn't she at least escape?
