"If the Jinghai Army is made up of this kind of trash, Luo Chen can't be much better."
"But it has nothing to do with me."
"As long as he is willing to resurrect Stella, that's enough."
Thinking this, Gild Tesoro got back into the golden car.
The car started and drove away.
Not long after leaving, the phone snail in the car suddenly rang.
After the middle-aged man in the black suit acting as the driver answered it, a panicked voice came from inside.
"Mr. Tesoro, another Jinghai Army ship has arrived at the port."
"On the ship... is Fleet Admiral Luo Chen!"
The attendant's report reached Gild Tesoro's ears.
His gaze suddenly sharpened.
The driver also slammed on the brakes, making an emergency stop.
"Drive back, immediately!" Gild Tesoro ordered.
The golden car immediately turned around and returned at maximum speed.
...
Gran Tesoro Port.
The warship Luo Chen was on was surrounded by a crowd.
There were Gran Tesoro staff members as well as guests here for fun.
Many of these people had experienced the farce just now.
Speaking all at once, they recounted what Leitch had done.
On the deck, Luo Chen frowned. He hadn't expected someone to be so audacious as to impersonate the Jinghai Army.
Boa Hancock's face also turned cold.
For ruining the reputation of the Jinghai Army, Leitch and his gang deserved to be dismembered and fed to sea beasts.
She proposed leading a team herself to hunt down Leitch and the others.
Luo Chen shook his head. "No need. They haven't been gone long; I can find them."
"Mr. Luo Chen, I am the owner of Gran Tesoro, Gild Tesoro."
The crowd parted, and Gild Tesoro returned, greeting loudly.
Luo Chen raised his hand, signaling him to wait a moment.
Then he spread his Observation Haki, searching the sea area within a ten-kilometer radius.
At this time, there were quite a few ships around Gran Tesoro, basically tourists coming and going.
Luo Chen couldn't accurately filter out which one was Leitch's ship.
"Just grab them all first; sorry for the offense..."
Saying this in his heart, a pitch-black sphere flew out from his palm.
The sphere was no bigger than an egg, but the commotion it created made everyone present exclaim that a miracle had descended.
The port of Gran Tesoro had no roof covering it and was open to the sky.
The black sphere flew straight up into the high sky, its powerful gravitational force enveloping the sea area within a ten-kilometer radius.
Except for Gran Tesoro itself, ship after sailing ship flew up into the sky, heading toward the black sphere.
Panicked shouts from people spread from those ships.
Luo Chen's voice spread throughout the nearby sea and sky: "I am Jinghai Army Fleet Admiral Luo Chen."
"I am currently capturing a group of criminals impersonating the Jinghai Army. There will be no accidental injuries, so there is no need for panic."
After he finished speaking, the panicked voices on the dozens of ships in the sky subsided a lot.
But some people were still uneasy, shouting to be let go.
Luo Chen turned a deaf ear and controlled the gravity to move all the dozens of ships above the port.
The crowd on the ground at the port looked at the dark mass of ship shadows above, revealing looks of shock.
Among them were ships that had left some time ago.
Presumably, they had already sailed far away from Gran Tesoro, yet were still pulled back.
This kind of power was truly astonishing.
Someone sharp-eyed recognized Leitch and his group's medium-sized wooden ship.
At this moment, the fake "Jinghai" flag had been lowered, but Leitch and the others on the ship were still recognized at a glance.
"It's them, that's the ship!"
The people who had been deceived earlier pointed angrily at the ship.
Leitch and the others were sticking their heads out, looking down, unable to conceal the panic on their faces.
Luo Chen's eyes were cold as he pulled the wooden ship through the air, making it land inside the port.
On the deck, Leitch's group, along with Baccarat and the twenty-one women, all looked over.
Leitch and the others were terrified.
Baccarat and the women were delighted and relieved.
"Mr. Luo Chen, we were wrong, we were wrong!" Leitch, the dark-skinned middle-aged man, knelt at the bow of the ship, kowtowing in panic to admit his mistake.
He was trembling all over from fear.
Many of the dozen or so accompanying young men slumped on the ground, bloodless.
No one expected that just after impersonating the Jinghai Army, they would meet the real deal.
And it was the founder of the Jinghai Army, Fleet Admiral Luo Chen.
This person's deeds had long spread throughout the sea.
Fighting his way up from a Marine soldier at the bottom of the East Blue.
Killing Marine Headquarters Rear Admirals and Vice Admirals in succession, sinking Marineford, and forcing Fleet Admiral Sengoku to his death.
The rulers of the World Government, the Five Elders, and the God's Knights composed of powerful Celestial Dragons were all defeated and imprisoned by him.
The territory he now occupied belonged to the Four Emperor Big Mom.
It could be said that Luo Chen was absolutely the person one could least afford to offend in the world today.
Being caught by him, they dared not imagine what terrifying consequences would follow.
Luo Chen looked at Leitch and the others coldly but did not act immediately.
Instead, he first released the numerous ships bound by gravity in the sky.
"I apologize for startling everyone. This three hundred million Belly is compensation."
He opened the Kamui dimension, and the Belly stored inside flew out continuously like a river.
Every ship was compensated with three hundred million Belly.
In the blink of an eye, about twenty billion was spent.
Seeing this scene, the crowd at the port was endlessly envious.
How they wished they were the ones caught just now.
Three hundred million Belly was definitely a huge sum.
Voices of gratitude came one after another from the ships landing on the sea surface, without any resentment or dissatisfaction.
Only after dealing with this did Luo Chen deal with Leitch and the others.
He let Baccarat and the other women off the ship and returned all the money Leitch and the others had swindled to their original owners.
"Impersonating and smearing the Jinghai Army—if you don't die, others will dare to follow suit in the future."
The killing intent in Luo Chen's eyes was icy cold, with no thought of showing mercy.
Ignoring the crying pleas of Leitch and the others, he waved his hand to activate the power of Wood Release.
On the deck, trees rose one after another, and a large number of branches pierced through the bodies of Leitch and the others like sharp spears.
This group of people did not die immediately but were hung on the trees like cured meat.
Blood flowed out along the branches, ran down the tree trunks, and spread into a pool of blood on the deck.
"Letting them bleed to death here won't delay your business, right?"
Luo Chen looked at Gild Tesoro.
"Of course not. Your presence brings light to my humble Gran Tesoro!"
Gild Tesoro laughed loudly, glanced at Leitch and the others, and said, "They impersonated the Jinghai Army; their crimes deserve death ten thousand times over."
"I have quite a few media reporters here; I'll have them publish this matter immediately."
"Let those with evil intentions see what the consequences will be."
He understood why Luo Chen wanted to hang and torture Leitch and the others.
He hoped to use this opportunity to deter those petty criminals who also had thoughts of impersonating the Jinghai Army.
Gild Tesoro went with the flow and expressed his willingness to help.
Ignoring Luo Chen's polite refusal, he immediately sent people to notify the reporters to come.
Then he personally received Luo Chen into the city.
"Mr. Luo Chen, I also have to thank you for taking action and helping me retrieve my money."
Gild Tesoro expressed his thanks while leading the way.
Luo Chen laughed. "Fifty billion Belly is trivial to you, the Golden Emperor."
Gild Tesoro laughed heartily. "You flatter me. I have admired the Jinghai Army and you for a long time. Please allow me to entertain you all properly."
He sent people to drive over two golden cars.
Luo Chen, Boa Hancock, and the few accompanying female soldiers got into the cars and headed for the inner city of Gran Tesoro.
