One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

 As she spoke, the fox-masked woman immediately pressed a button. This was the intelligence self-destruct switch. Once pressed, all the intelligence data here would be destroyed.

  This is a self-destruction method that many intelligence stations have. Once discovered, they would rather self-destruct than leak the information.

  "It's poisonous, run away!"

  The five people immediately rushed out of the cave and found that the blue mist had covered a large area of ​​forest around them. Then they all covered their noses and mouths with something and ran away in five different directions.

  As intelligence agents, they knew very well that once their base was leaked, it would be difficult to escape. However, as long as they ran separately, there was still a possibility of escape.

  When the five people in the cave rushed out of the cave and wanted to escape from the forest, the thirty masked men who had entered the outskirts of the forest and were waiting for them all gathered in the direction of the five people.

  The man in the tiger mask still stayed high in the sky, overlooking the forest below, observing his target this time to prevent any omissions.

  After the five people in the cave rushed out, the remaining four showed signs of exhaustion due to inhaling some blue poisonous gas.

  They were caught very quickly, but they all committed suicide before being caught.

  As intelligence officers, they have received rigorous training and development, and they are fully aware that once an intelligence officer is captured alive, his or her fate will be extremely miserable.

  That is why they would commit suicide without hesitation, so that they don't have to endure the hellish pain and torture. For them, committing suicide is also a kind of relief.

  The leader of the five, the masked woman, was wearing purple tight shorts and a short shirt. Her exquisite and graceful body was fully displayed as she ran through the forest.

  When she was escaping, she took a pill and her ears suddenly turned red. This pill could keep her from being poisoned in the forest covered by blue poisonous fog.

  Without having to worry about being poisoned, she also displayed amazing speed. The six masked men who surrounded her and wanted to catch her failed to catch her, and she escaped instead.

  "Everyone, gather to the west of the forest."

  When the tiger-masked man above the forest discovered that there was a fish that had escaped the net, he immediately gave orders to everyone, then led the way and rushed forward with moon steps.

  "Damn it, it's CP1's Tiger!!"

  The fox-masked woman glanced at the tiger-masked man flying above her, gritted her teeth and said something, then ran away towards the port of Solo Island at a faster speed.

  "BOOM!!!!"

  "Um???"

  Solo Island is not big, and the forest is not far from the port. Li Yuan, who is at the port, can use his observation Haki to slightly hear the movements in the forest.

  "Everyone, pack your things immediately and get on the boat, then leave the port. Don't wait for me. I will catch up with them later."

  Li Yuan realized that something was wrong and immediately asked the crew to board the ship and leave.

  After all, if the enemies were numerous and held him back, he would not be able to protect his fellow disciples who had not yet grown up.

  "Listen to the eldest brother, get on the boat quickly and leave here."

  Kano knew the seriousness of the matter, and also knew that it would be useless for him and others to stay here, and that it might even implicate Li Yuan.

  So they did not waste any time, even giving up some of the spoils that had not yet been packed up, and immediately boarded the ship, left the port, and headed for the sea.

  Li Yuan didn't know if there would be any danger, nor did he know what would happen next, but being skilled and courageous, he waited at the port to see what would happen next.

  The sea was right behind him, and if there was any strong danger, he would immediately jump into the sea and escape. In the sea, his combat power would not be affected, but would become stronger. The enemy would become weaker or even dare not enter the sea because of fear of the sea.

  This is the confidence that gives him the courage to stay and wait.

  The training he had received during the past year of immersion in the sea was not just to improve his physical fitness and swordsmanship, he had also developed a weakened version of the merman naval combat capability.

  Entering the sea, he took to it like a fish in water.

  Li Yuan didn't have to wait long before he saw a woman wearing a fox mask rushing towards him.

  Behind her, there was a man wearing a tiger mask and some other men also wearing masks.

  From this scene, you can tell at first glance that it's a plot about a group of men bullying a woman, and then a hero rescues the beauty, marries her, and reaches the peak of his life from then on.

  "I'm Shaki, the intelligence officer of the Rocks Pirates. If you help me, you will be generously rewarded by me and the Rocks Pirates!"

  Xia Qi, who was running in the front, saw that there was no ship in the harbor. There was only a tall man with red shoulder-length hair and a sword in his hand standing there, obviously waiting for them to come.

  However, she did not sense any malice from this man, and it was obvious that he was not in the same group as the World Government and others behind him.

  In this situation, Xia Qi simply took a gamble, betting on her own identity and Rocks's reputation and allure in the new world to see if she could get this man to help her.

  It can be said that Xia Qi made a very dangerous gamble, because if the other party did not agree, the CP members of the World Government behind him would also regard Li Yuan as Xia Qi's accomplice.

  After capturing Xia Qi, in order to avoid exposing their whereabouts, they were blocked in the New World by the Rocks Pirates, and they would definitely eliminate Li Yuan as well.

  The reason why Xia Qi did not tell the CP agents in the rear on the spot that Li Yuan was the person who came to pick her up was because she was afraid that Li Yuan would kill her first in anger.

  So, although Xia Qi seemed to be gambling, in fact, she wanted to drag Li Yuan into the water, but she used a more subtle way.

  "Shaqi?"

  Hearing this name, Li Yuan recalled the tavern where he "extorted money". If his guess was correct, the woman with a fox mask in front of him was the Xia Qi in his memory.

  And those people chasing her from behind were obviously CP agents trained by the World Government.

  From this, we can speculate that Xia Qi, an intelligence officer, has been discovered by the World Government agents and is being hunted down.

  "It can be saved. It can be used as a link to join the Rocks Pirates."

  Li Yuan thought to himself.

  In today's New World, the Rocks Pirates are the only dominant force. Li Yuan's current strength is still very weak compared to those top powerhouses.

  He needs a backer who can protect him and help him grow, so that the navy won't discover his potential and hunt him down all day long.

  "If you are really a member of the Rocks Pirates, I can help you, but if you are not, don't blame me for killing you afterwards!"

  Li Yuan said seriously.

  "Don't worry, I won't lie to you!"

  Xia Qi said happily when she saw that the other party agreed.
