70 Chapter 70

Arlong couldn't care less about Captian Nezumi's current state of mind. He had only one goal in mind, and that was to obtain as much physical enhancement potion as possible.

Upon hearing the question, he quickly spoke up, faster than anyone else. "Answer: Captian Nezumi came here under my orders."

"Shut up!" Captian Nezumi shouted loudly at Arlong, trying to prevent him from answering.

But Arlong paid no attention to Captian Nezumi. They only had a utilitarian relationship, and after today, he would be leaving this place. Captian Nezumi held no value for him anymore, regardless of whether he lived or died.

Sacrificing Captian Nezumi for a bottle of physical enhancement potion was a lucrative deal.

Arlong sneered at Captian Nezumi and continued, "Nami is about to gather one hundred million berries. To prevent her from escaping my control, I instructed Captian Nezumi to confiscate the money hidden by Nami."

"Confiscated money amounting to thirty percent of it belongs to him. When he heard that he could get several tens of millions of berries, Captian Nezumi immediately came. The box he's holding should contain the money he stole from Nami."

"You bastard, shut your mouth!" Captian Nezumi panicked and explained to the empty space, "Arlong is making it up. I didn't do any of these things. As for the money, I received a report about pirates hiding it there, so I went to confiscate it. It's not at all as Arlong described."

Before Captian Nezumi could finish, Arlong coldly laughed, "I'm making it up?Nezumi, that's not fair of you to say. In these eight years, how much money have you taken from me? Without you, the Marine 16th Branch's Colonel providing me cover, how could I comfortably rob money here? Thanks to you. Unfortunately, we can't collaborate anymore in the future. Rest assured, when I conquer the world, I will express my gratitude. If you're still alive by then, haha..." Arlong laughed heartily.

After Arlong finished speaking, Captian Nezumi collapsed to the ground as if he had lost his soul. He knew he was finished, his life was over.

Even if he managed to survive, he would face the Navy's pursuit.

In the Marine Headquarters, Sengoku's face darkened with an eerie expression. Scandal! A scandal that shocked the world! A Marine Colonel colluding with pirates to rob civilians. This was a tremendous blow to the reputation of the Navy.

How could people trust the Navy in the future?

A great shame!

How could the Navy have such a scoundrel!

Sengoku felt like his head was going to explode from the anger caused by Captian Nezumi. He had previously thought that this guy was a bit clever and talented, but he was just a piece of shit...

If this scum were in front of him right now, Sengoku would have given him a shockwave punch, killing him on the spot.

"I immediately order the removal of Captian Nezumi from his position as the Colonel of the Marine 16th Branch, and declare him wanted. Capture him and bring him to justice!"

"Yes, sir."

There was no doubt that today was the darkest day for the Navy.

In the past twenty years, the Navy had never lost as much face in a single day as they did today.

Since this quiz livestream started, the Navy had been in a passive state, with one revelation after another.

Sengoku had a growing sense that if they allowed this man named Luo Ke to continue like this, the Navy's situation would become even more embarrassing.

Damn it... Sengoku stared intently at Luo Ke on the livestream.

The exposure of the dealings between Arlong and Captian Nezumi finally allowed the oppressed villagers of Cocoyashi Village to vent their anger. However, it was not enough because only Captian Nezumi received punishment, while the other scoundrel, Arlong, had not yet faced consequences.

At this moment, Arlong looked at Luo Ke with anticipation, waiting for his reward.

Correct answer. As for the footage, I'm too lazy to show it. It's not something worth revisiting. So, according to our agreement, I will now distribute the reward to you."

Upon hearing this, Arlong's eyes lit up. He would finally get what he wanted.

Luo Ke waved his hand, and two bottles of orange-colored potion appeared in Arlong's hands. The color of the potion was lighter compared to the one Luffy and the others had consumed earlier.

However, Arlong, filled with excitement, didn't notice this slight difference.

The members of Arlong's pirate crew also looked at the two bottles of potion in excitement. Two bottles meant it could be used by two people. Arlong would certainly use one bottle, and as for the remaining one...

Several officers of Arlong's pirate crew looked expectantly at Arlong, waiting for his decision.

However, to everyone's surprise, Arlong simultaneously opened the caps of both bottles and chugged them down together.

Luo Ke watched Arlong's action and the astonished expressions on the faces of Arlong's crew members. This guy was hogging it all for himself.

What an unfair captain!

Meanwhile, the Straw Hat Pirates and the villagers of Cocoyashi Village looked at Arlong with concern. They were well aware of the effects of the physique-enhancing potion.

Having consumed the potion themselves, they were already far stronger than Arlong. However, now that Arlong had also consumed the potion, and not just one but two bottles, could they still defeat him?

Usopp and the others showed a hint of worry and caution on their faces.

At the same time, the viewers watching the livestream gained a deeper understanding of Luo Ke's style. They had initially thought that Luo Ke exposed Arlong and Captian Nezumi because they had questioned him. They thought Luo Ke did it to punish them, but they didn't expect him to actually distribute the reward.

This person, although carefree and forceful, had his principles.

Many people couldn't help but worry about Luffy, his companions, and the villagers of Cocoyashi Village. Now that Arlong, who had become even stronger after consuming the physique-enhancing potion, would he seek revenge and kill them?

Based on Arlong's answers earlier, they wished that the Navy would immediately capture him. Hearing about what Arlong and Colonel Mouse had done to the villagers of Cocoyashi Village and Nami, they felt even more sympathy for them.

Just as they were about to regain their freedom, they unexpectedly faced a great disaster. Many people couldn't help but worry for them.
