He was not joking when he said that before. The safety of Marinford is undoubtedly extremely high in the Grand Line.
This is the headquarters of the navy, where the marshal sits. There are usually admirals stationed here as well. In addition, with the permanent fortifications and giant artillery batteries built in Crescent Bay, ordinary pirates will never approach here, as that would be tantamount to committing suicide.
However, this mechanism also determines that no one dares to approach such a place, and once someone approaches, it must be a real monster.
In addition to its military role as the headquarters of the navy, Marinford is also a very large town where a large number of navy families live. The people living here are generally very relaxed.
At this time, the appearance of several people with nervous expressions naturally attracted Frankenstein's attention.
"Can you confirm the identity?"
"Please wait, comparison in progress."
Frankenstein is not an ordinary human being after all. She has a lot of information in her mind. Orlan does not have the navy's information database, but still transfers some pirates' information into Frankenstein's memory through the bounty order.
It is convenient for confirming the value of the other party and considering whether to exchange them for the bounty, and it can also prevent problems before they happen and eliminate some unexpected factors.
"Sorry, father, there's no information about them in the database. Do you want me to go and check it out?"
At the same time, a silver question mark appeared on Orlan's shoulder, with a small yellow eye on it. This was the result of Zach's learning during this period. He had begun to learn how to use body language to express his wishes.
During this time, he also tried to use his gel body to imitate vocal organs, but the effect was not ideal and now it can only make a buzzing sound.
"Let's go together. I'm also curious about what these people want to do here.
It's okay to worry too much, just treat it as a stroll around this town."
After receiving Oran's order, part of Zack's body split apart and flowed to the side along the sewer of Marinford. Soon after, the part of his body that remained on Oran also formed an arrow shape, indicating the direction of progress.
After years of construction, Marinford has long become a special military fortress. In addition to the crescent bay and square in front, there are four small hills around it that serve as watchtowers.
In the center is the naval headquarters building, which is also the navy's office area, and around it are family quarters distributed in layers.
In the middle and upper floors, there is a house that is not very big. In the yard in front of the door, a child with purple hair is waving a wooden sword in the air, wearing a slightly worn red helmet on his head.
"Yekelik, why are you digging out your father's things again?"
A woman with short orange-brown hair came out. She was dressed like a housewife and didn't look very happy.
"I'm not Jeklik, I'm Z! The strongest hero Z! I want to be a hero who protects this sea, just like my dad!"
"Well, before you become a hero, could you explain to me why you soiled my freshly washed sheets?"
Looking at the bed sheet dragging on the ground behind him like a cloak, Yeklik seemed to realize the crisis.
"Even heroes have to retreat sometimes, so..."
The woman had no intention of listening to his explanation and grabbed Yeklik, who was trying to escape, and prepared to carry him back to the room.
"You're rummaging through your father's personal belongings and soiling freshly washed clothes. When your father comes back, I'll have him teach you a lesson. A hero shouldn't cause trouble for others.
Oddly enough, your father was very busy on this mission, and it seems he was delayed again."
The mother and son are Zefa's family. As the family of an active admiral, they are of course qualified to live in Marinford, and they were also allocated a single-family house in this densely populated town.
But they didn't know that several people were already targeting them not far away.
"Are you sure it's here?"
"Yes, it's this family. That kid's hair is exactly the same as that bastard Zefa's. He must be one of his family members."
"Let's do it, boss! That guy made us spend several years in jail, and we finally escaped with great difficulty. We have to take revenge!"
Most of the navy of this generation focuses more on physical skills, such as Kong Gang, Garp Iron Fist, Sengoku of the mythical beast species, and Zephyr, who is codenamed Black Arm because of his strong armament color.
But Zefa's most outstanding feature is not his black wrist, but his inability to kill.
Whether it is a pirate or other bounty criminal, his goal is mostly to arrest the other party and put them in prison, rather than kill them directly. He strictly follows the laws and regulations formulated by the World Government.
It is inevitable that people will die during the battle, there is no way to avoid it, but Zephyr will never kill the surrendering pirates.
But it is this habit that has laid the groundwork for today.
Not all prisoners are imprisoned in Impelton. Many are imprisoned in nearby prisons in the Navy branch. This group of pirates is an example of this.
"It seems like there's some kind of World Government entertainment show going on in the square. The soldiers patrolling nearby have gone to watch. Boss, get moving! If that Zephyr guy comes back, it'll be too late."
"Do I need to tell you that? That guy ruined my dream, and I'm going to destroy everything he has. Go ahead!"
Several pirates showed bloodthirsty smiles on their faces, took out hidden weapons from their bodies, and surrounded Zefa's residence.
Crack!
Bang!
The windows were smashed and the door was kicked open. The pirates rushed into Zefa's house and blocked his wife and children in the kitchen.
"Don't come over here! Don't come over here! Someone come here!! There are pirates!"
Zefa's wife waved the kitchen knife in her hand randomly. She was just an ordinary woman. At the same time, she threw some rags at the stove which was still on.
She didn't understand why pirates could appear in the Marine Headquarters and break into her home with weapons, but she knew that as long as they made enough noise, the nearby navy would definitely come to support them.
Bang! Bang!
Two fireworks exploded in the sky outside the window. They were ordinary, but they shattered the last bit of hope in Zefa's wife's heart.
"It's a celebration"
She had never thought that there would be pirates in such a place. Similarly, the other navy had never thought of such a thing. Coupled with the sound of the celebration, no one would discover the situation here in a short time.
"Yekelik, don't look back for a moment. Run as fast as you can to where there are many people, and then find someone to save your mother."
Zefa's wife realized how bad the situation was and tried desperately to find a way to survive for her son. He was the son of the admiral of the navy, and as long as the navy saw him, they would definitely come to protect him.
But her efforts were in vain. Although these pirates were not even qualified to be imprisoned in Impel Down, they were still adult males and had an absolute advantage in both numbers and physical strength.
He didn't attack immediately, but just wanted to see the other party struggle. The knife he threw was easily blocked by the other party, and Jeklik, who ran away according to his mother's order, was kicked back.
"It's a pity that this is the Navy Headquarters, otherwise we could have some fun, kill them, take away all the valuables, and then burn this house down!"
"Leave it to me, boss. I'm the best at handling this kind of thing. I just need to cut their throats and they'll have no choice but to watch themselves die."
A pirate licked his blade and walked forward, intending to kill the adult first, but Yeklik stabbed his instep with a fork that fell to the side.
"Don't touch my mom!"
"You bastard, if you're so impatient, just go die first. What the hell?!"
The pain on his instep aroused his anger, but when he wanted to swing his knife, a silver tentacle suddenly stretched out from the sink beside him and grabbed his arm.
