Two days later, a small boat docked at the harbor of the Water 7.
Kuro jumped off the deck and held his breath for a while as he looked at the city that was almost completely razed to the ground.
"The whole city is..."
Nami couldn't help but exclaim, her pupils trembling constantly.
In her mind, what Arlong did in the Cocoyasi Village was already brutal.
But compared to the Water 7 at this moment, it was far less than one-tenth of it.
"Sure enough."
"The captain's guess is correct."
Van Augur walked forward slowly, stopped in front of a shelling pit, stretched out his hand to stroke the charred soil on the ground, sniffed it, and then made a judgment: "These shelling pits have lasted no more than three days."
"That is to say, after the siege of the Water 7 was lifted, another group of pirates attacked here, most likely from the Big Mom Pirates."
"Then Lucci..."
Kalifa's eyes tightened, and she didn't dare to say her guess, but everyone understood what she meant, and they all looked worried.
Everyone also had a solemn look.
Two days ago, after Gawain got rid of the pirates' pursuit, he hid the Raven and then acted separately with everyone.
He was in the nearby seas, searching for traces of Big Mom Pirates, Kuro, and others who had changed their appearance and sneaked into the Water 7.
At this point in time, most pirates were attracted by Gawain, and the pressure on the Water 7 was reduced sharply.
According to Gawain's speculation, even if Big Mom Pirates is going to act here, it will not be a big move. It is likely that only an elite force will sneak into the Water 7.
With Kuro's strength and speed, even if he encounters Katakuri, he is unlikely to be his opponent in a head-on battle, but it is not a big problem to escape.
Kuro looked around and said in a deep voice: "I want to see him dead or alive."
"Search separately first, and after finding Lucci or someone from the Water 7, send a message, and we will reunite."
"Ask for help as soon as you are in danger!"
"Understood!"
Everyone nodded; after Kaku and Blueno looked at each other, they also nodded solemnly to Kuro.
During this time on the ship, they already knew that they were not on a Marine ship at all.
Kuro and others were not marines but pirates, pirates under the command of the Warlord of the Sea, White Knight Gawain.
But they also understood the whole story and knew that Lucci was willing to sacrifice himself for the people on the ship.
While the two were shocked, they also knew what these people meant to Lucci, so even if they saw through it, they tacitly did not point it out.
While everyone kept a tacit understanding, they were also more and more curious about what Lucci had experienced during this period of time, which led to such a huge change.
It was almost... Like he wasn't the same person!
It's just that time is tight, and the two have no energy to ask Kalifa.
But what they know is that Lucci is far more important to them than the World Government and the so-called justice!
… … …
With Kuro's order, everyone was divided into groups of three and instantly dispersed into the Water 7 to collect possible information nearby.
Kalifa, Kaku, and Blueno were assigned to the same group.
"Lucci's return to the Water 7 should be for the Pluton blueprint mission."
"From this, no matter what approach he chooses, he will eventually return to the Galley-La Company."
"Mayor Iceburg is the apprentice of shipwright Tom, and the Pluton blueprint was originally in Tom's hands. Following this clue, the most likely person is Iceburg."
Kaku said calmly, leading Kalifa and Blueno to the old site of Galley-La Company.
But when they arrived, they saw only ruins.
The tall building that originally stood in the center of Water 7 had completely collapsed at this moment, with scattered limbs and arms everywhere, emitting waves of disgusting stench.
"This is not good at all."
Kaku muttered, his eyes wandering around, but found nothing.
The three slowly walked into the old site of the Galley-La Company, and the scene in front of them was more and more frightening.
The incomplete corpses all over the ground and the dried and blackened blood everywhere all told of the battle that had happened.
Blueno looked around with a hint of inexplicable emotion in his eyes.
He had lived in the Water 7 for a long time and even ran a bar near the Galley-La Company.
But now, the bar has completely collapsed, and there is even a broken arm at the door.
There is even a tendon on the chest and back attached to this arm, which was obviously torn off by someone.
Even the three CP agents fell silent for a while.
The brutality of the person who took action was far beyond their expectations.
Kalifa bit her tongue: "The World Government is not a good thing. These pirates who release their malice infinitely are worse than beasts!"
Kaku straightened his hat, and a rare coldness appeared in his eyes: "From the degree of decay of these corpses, the time of death will not exceed three days."
"That is to say after the pirates who besieged the Water 7 withdrew, someone attacked here."
"Gawain..."
Kaku turned his head and looked at Kalifa.
During this period, he had already noticed the changes in Kalifa.
That admiring gaze can't deceive people anyway.
Not only Lucci but even Kalifa has a special feeling for Gawain.
The more he felt this, the more curious Kaku was about Gawain.
He had even overheard Spandam mention that after the Alabasta incident, Jabra's group seemed to have gone through some change.
Jabra, who had previously only focused on completing missions, was now starting to plot for higher positions.
From what Kaku had heard from Kalifa in recent days, it seemed that this change had a lot to do with their interaction with Gawain's group.
What kind of magic does this man have?
Kaku was extremely curious.
But he knew better that, as a qualified agent, it is best not to have curiosity.
There are many people in the CP organization who died because of their curiosity.
He forced his emotions down and continued to speak: "Mr. Gawain's speculation is correct."
"From this point of view, the people who attacked here should be the Big Mom pirates."
"Even with Lucci's involvement, with the internal forces of Water 7, there would be no way to resist the Big Mom pirates."
"I understand."
Kalifa's eyes tightened: "Find the person first!"
"Yeah."
The three fell silent and continued to go deeper.
Soon, under the Galley-La Company, a row of messy footprints caught the attention of the three people.
"It's new!"
The discovery in front of him made Kaku exclaim. The survivors meant that Lucci might still be alive.
However, before the three people could move forward, a pair of eyes mixed with fear and hatred emerged from the shadows in the distance.
"Leave here!"
Swish!
A row of black gun muzzles pointed at Kaku and the other two but were stopped the next moment.
"Wait… Are you… shipwright Kaku and Miss Kalifa?!"
In the shadows, a man in the uniform of a craftsman in the Galley-La Company walked out quickly and looked at the three people in front of him in disbelief: "And the bar owner, Blueno?"
"Are you, like shipwright Lucci, choosing to return to the Water 7 at this time?!"
"Put down the guns!"
"This is one of us!"
