Major Thomas and Major Keo looked at each other in bewilderment.
"But, Lieutenant General, should we go back and report the mission to Garp?"
Major Thomas seemed a little embarrassed. Major Baili Xiao seemed to be a bit unaware of the urgency of the situation.
As a naval officer, I should report back immediately after completing a mission, not wander around aimlessly. Since it's working hours, there are no holidays, but I can take a stroll afterward. After this mission, other missions may await me. During working hours, I must obey orders.
"Major Thomas, Major Pio, I witnessed your outstanding performance in this battle."
When asked about the suspicions against Major Thomas and Major Keo, Baili Xiao gave a very serious and honest answer.
"So I'm leaving the report to you two. Tell old man Garp that this rampant pirate group has collapsed. Oh, and I told him I'll be in Water Seven for two days. Don't worry, he won't make things difficult for you."
Baili Xiao asked Major Thomas and Major Keo if he was really a lieutenant general because of his close relationship with Garp. He implied that if Major Thomas and Major Keo could bring news of the mission's success back to Garp, he would be willing to go to Water Seven himself.
Chapter 0409 Not Yet Seventeen
"This is…"
Major Thomas and Major Keo hesitated for a moment, then nodded helplessly. Their nods were useless, though, because Baili Xiao insisted on going to Water Seven himself.
The arrival of the warships at Water Seven caused a stir on the shore. The people of Water Seven were intrigued by the navy's presence.
Even more incredibly, only one person disembarked from the warship and left the port without hesitation.
Standing on the dock of the "City of Seven Waters", Baili Xiao felt the care of the boatmen around him and felt no displeasure.
He came to the "Seven Waters City" to find a good reason to launch his "Black Pearl".
Believe it or not, his "Black Pearl" is a small boat called the "East India Trading Company" that will be built in the "Water Seven".
"I've been here all along. It seems inexplicable why I haven't seen the legendary shipbuilder Tom. After all, it was Gore D who built the 530 Roger ship, the old man who developed the sea-going vessel."
Baili Xiao made a decision. He would bypass the "Seven Waters City" and find a suitable place to put the "Black Pearl," but he couldn't take it out directly here. It would also be difficult to explain in front of many people.
Struggling financially, Baili Xiao began asking the boatman for information.
Where is Tom?
Baili Xiao asked directly, indicating that he wasn't afraid of the name "Tom of Water Seven." There certainly was a name "Tom," but only one person was that famous.
Are you looking for Tom?
The boatman looked wary, seemingly concerned about Baili Xiao's naval identity. He should know Tom.
Yes. Please come here.
Baili Xiao answered casually. He really came here. I had no other intentions. He was generous, but not interested in the so-called "Hades".
Now he can take out the "Black Pearl". Sometime later, he can take out some Star Trek guides. Even if a "Star Destroyer" comes, it won't be much stronger than the "Pluto" warship that bombed the island.
"Come……"
The boatman was still doubtful, and before he could say anything, people had already gathered around again.
“I know where Tom is. I’ll take you there. I only have 200 stomachs.”
The same boatman came over and held up two fingers, but this gesture initially angered the boatman, though "Two Hundred Berries" didn't mind at all.
"Guide"
Without hesitation, Baili Xiao chose "200 Berries." At this moment, the boatman, who had been hesitant and doubtful, spoke up. His words made Baili Xiao smile.
I'll take you there for free!
Upon hearing this, "200 Berries" immediately rolled up his sleeves, sporting a "no money" expression that suggested he was about to start an argument. Clearly, "200 Berries'" claim of being "no money" was genuine, and the two were about to get into a fight.
"call!"
A small flame spewed from Baili Xiao's mouth, right in front of him in "200 Berries," and the astonishing "200 Berries" fell to the ground and sat there.
He looked at the assailant with surprise, as if he were looking at some kind of monster.
"Go."
Baili Xiao ignored him and only led him to believe that he had "no money." He also wore a frightened expression, but he had no other choice now.
He brought Baili Xiao with him.
Saying they had "no money," they left the dock and arrived at an even more chaotic and filthy place. It was piled high with all sorts of waste, a veritable "garbage dump."
In this "garbage dump", there is a shipyard called "Tom's Shipbuilding Company".
"Brother Tom! The Navy is here for you!"
In the distance, Bill Rhine shouted "No money!" as if afraid Tom wouldn't know beforehand.
This guy doesn't intend to completely destroy "200 Berries".
Bai Lixiao shook her head. This man was afraid it would be bad for Tom. He was indeed overthinking things, but I could understand.
After all, Tom had been living in the "Junkyard" since being called the "World's Greatest Shipbuilder" due to the "World Government's" trial, because the "World Government" condemned him. The people of Water Seven had also tried to push him out, but Tom's conviction was the whole reason.
"Haha, I'm Tom standing right here. Don't be afraid of what the Navy will do to me, don't be afraid."
A booming voice rang out, and a tall man emerged from "Tom's Shipbuilding Company."
That big man was clearly not human. He had yellowish-brown skin, patterned skin, sharp teeth, and two small horns on his head. This guy was an idiot.
Behind this big man were two young people who weren't that old.
One person was wearing medical goggles, a shirt and shorts, and had cool blue hair; the other was wearing a black vest and shorts, and a white scarf.
Yes, there's a big frog behind us, a really big one, bigger than those two young men.
"What can I do for you? I'm the famous Tom."
Tom, the full-frame man standing in front, opened his mouth. His appearance and manner of speaking were indeed those of Tom the Shipbuilder.
"Seeing is believing. I've heard of you for a long time. Since I was passing through, I definitely came to pick you up. Don't be so nervous. I mean nothing to you."
As Baili Xiao spoke, she slowly approached. Although Tom wasn't nervous at all, the two young men beside him watched Baili Xiao warily.
However, although he's a young man, Frankie is a year older than Baili Xiao. Frankie, with his blue hair, is seventeen this year, and Baili Xiao will be eighteen soon. Baili Xiao is not yet seventeen.
Chapter 0410: Alert
The iceberg next to Frankie is bigger and is 21 years old this year.
"I never expected this. A criminal known for building pirate ships for pirates, someone famous in the navy?"
Upon hearing Baili Xiao's words, Tom laughed heartily, saying self-deprecatingly, "Building pirate ships for pirates is indeed a source of pride. Even if I were executed, I would have no regrets."
The person was startled, finally attracting everyone's attention. Everyone's eyes were on Baili Xiao and Tina.
Baili Xiao showed no nervousness and directly revealed his identity.
"We are the Navy. Please have your superior come out and ask him/her questions."
Bai Lixiao said succinctly that he needed to meet directly with their leader. His intuition told him that this invoice clerk was definitely not the one.
Why is the Navy here?
The invoice clerk looked confused. Had he come to help them?
But logically, helping neighboring countries deal with them is clearly more realistic. "I've found a way to save Fravins. Call your boss and stop your actions immediately."
Baili Xiao loudly spread the news, but after a brief silence, the hall, which had been dead, immediately caused a huge uproar.
Is it true?
Are we saved? Are we saved?
"The Navy wouldn't lie, would they?"
At this point, the hall could be said to have gathered all the participating members of the "extremist organization." Ultimately, this "lottery ceremony" required the participation of everyone, and the organizers themselves had to receive a vote.
The reason Baili Xiao announced this news here was, of course, to cause an uproar among the members of these extremist groups.
They spoke in unison, as if they had suddenly come back to life. I wanted to verify the truth of this news with Baili Xiao.
Generally speaking, these people clearly distrust the Navy and the World Government. After all, the reason they launch terrorism is because they have long been disillusioned with the "World Government" that abandoned them, the Fraser Kingdom that abandoned their country, and the "Sea of Justice" that controls this ocean.
However, Bai Lixiao's navy was different. With his naval title attached, these members of the Fraser extremist group hoped to at least doubt the veracity of his words.
The Navy's prestige in Fryvanes has already hit rock bottom, and the addition of the title of "Naval Hero" will only fuel further "doubt."
"Be quiet!"
After a loud shout, the noisy hall fell silent. Everyone saw the source of the sound. It was a pale-skinned man. He had just entered the hall.
"What's wrong? Why is it so messy?"
The man entered the hall, and the strangers around him made way for him. He was clearly someone of importance.
"Boss Greg, those two Marines said they have a way to cure our illness!"
People quickly gathered around again, and Fleming, whose name was Greg, frowned. He walked straight toward Vivian and Tina.
This is a man in his thirties. He appears to have had permanent lead poisoning for some time. His face and exposed skin are very pale.
"Are you just here to enjoy yourself without doing anything?"
The man sneered, seemingly not believing Baili Xiao and Tina's words.
"Tina isn't that free. Why don't you believe us?"
Tina frowned. She was young and clearly still quite agitated.
"Foolish World Government! Idiot Navy! You don't trust anyone! We've been asking you for help for so long, but we haven't received a reply! You've completely blocked us out here; not even a message has reached us!"
The man pointed at Baili Xiao and Tina with a resentful expression, hurling insults at them. His words instantly caused a commotion in the crowd. He only wanted Frefan; in an instant, it died, just like before.
"Humph."
Baili Xiao's golden eyes flashed, and he activated the "bewitching magic eye".

"But if it's Brigadier General Baili Xiao, I'd like to believe it."
Greg's temper had changed, and the entire hall fell silent again. Frivans stared in astonishment, clearly confused by the situation. What had happened? Why was this brigadier general so reliable?
Tina looked at Baili Xiao, but he showed no emotion.
After Greg made his stance clear, Baili Xiao didn't hesitate to brainwash him. This Greg was indeed the most extreme member of the entire organization. What he said actually made sense, but it was clearly detrimental to Baili Xiao's next plan.
