Two days passed in a flash.
It was afternoon.
In the sea not far from Silvia Kingdom, the Candy Nursery Rhyme Pirates were speeding towards Silvia.
Captain Germa stood quietly at the bow of the ship, her arms crossed, pushing her (.)(.) into an exaggerated curve.
First Mate Walker stood beside her, his brows clouded with an unshakeable worry.
Combatant Baro, with his enormous anchor chain hammer on his back, stood behind the two like a small mountain.
The other crew members were performing their duties on the deck.
"Captain, we must land as soon as possible to resupply, and then immediately head to the Grand Line, otherwise those hateful Marine will catch up to us!" Walker said with a hint of urgency in his voice.
"Hateful Marine!" Germa's face was grim, she lowered her hands and gripped the ship's railing tightly, feeling very unhappy recalling the experiences of the past few days.
They had been chased by the Marine for this entire period, unable to land and resupply, and now with supplies running low, they were forced to abandon the children they had captured.
Even now, those Marine were still pursuing them, seemingly determined to either wipe them out or drive them out of West Blue!
"Land in Silvia Kingdom as quickly as possible, resupply, and then immediately head to the Grand Line. I don't believe they'll chase us all the way there!" Germa ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
"Captain!"
"Quick! Land in Silvia Kingdom!"
...
After Captain Germa gave the order, the pirate ship rapidly approached Silvia Kingdom.
In the sea not far from the Candy Nursery Rhyme Pirates, a Marine warship led by Marine Colonel Tolson was slowly moving.
"Colonel Tolson, the Candy Nursery Rhyme Pirates should be landing in Silvia Kingdom. This country is not an allied nation, so when the time comes..." Major Chaos said, his tone carrying a hint of evil as he probed.
On the warship's deck, other Marine also showed various greedy expressions, as if they already saw a large amount of treasure beckoning to them.
"Hahahahaha, then let's speed up. Land in Silvia Kingdom and find all the treasures there!" Tolson looked at the blue sea and laughed greedily.
"Yes!"
"Colonel Tolson!"
...
As Tolson gave the order, all the Marine on the warship were very excited; this time, they would be able to make a big fortune again!
However, one of the Marine showed a hint of disgust on his face; he was an intelligence agent for the Revolutionary Army.

On the coast of Silvia Kingdom, according to Revolutionary Army intelligence, the Candy Nursery Rhyme Pirates would be landing today.
Andy had arrived early and was hidden, waiting by the coast.
"190 million bounty points. If I take out the Candy Nursery Rhyme Pirates and then another pirate crew like them, my Armament Haki will be maxed out," Andy muttered to himself, looking at the calm sea.
Because the Mad Lion Pirates were eliminated by Andy, the Revolutionary Army gained control of this city, and some perpetrators were taken care of by the Revolutionary Army.
Now, the city had become much quieter.
Inside the city, several Captains of the Revolutionary Army were gathered, and their discussion also revolved around Andy.
"These past two days, our secret strongholds in other cities of Silvia Kingdom have been moved, but I don't know why Red Hawk still knows," one Captain said, very puzzled.
"Kuma, has Red Hawk contacted anyone else these past few days? Or has he left this city?" Oster looked at Kuma.
Kuma shook his head: "Red Hawk has been resting at his residence for the past two days, and there's no sign of him contacting anyone else, so I don't know how he knows either."
"This is truly baffling!" Oster couldn't help but complain; he had never encountered such a strange situation.
"Since we can't find out, then let's just provide him with information for now. Anyway, his goal is those wanted pirates, so don't provoke him during this time," another Captain suggested.
The others all nodded in agreement.
They were very puzzled as to why Red Hawk wanted to kill so many wanted pirates, because he wouldn't even receive the bounty from the World Government.
No matter how they analyzed this question, they couldn't come up with a plausible explanation.
---
On the coast, after waiting for most of the day, Andy finally saw the Candy Nursery Rhyme Pirates appear.
"They're finally here. To punish you for making me wait so long, I'll kindly send you to meet your God," Andy murmured.
As his voice fell, a sniper rifle appeared in his hand, and he aimed it at the Candy Nursery Rhyme Pirates' ship.
But after thinking about it, he decided to let the Candy Nursery Rhyme Pirates land before attacking. He was afraid his prey would sink and die in the sea, which wouldn't count as bounty points!
On the Candy Nursery Rhyme Pirates' ship, the pirates were also very excited as they saw the coast getting closer; they could finally resupply.
However, Captain Gorma frowned, not knowing what she was thinking; she always felt something was off.
"Captain, what's wrong?" Tom noticed the unusual expression on Gorma's face and asked.
Gorma shook her head: "I just feel like something's not right. Let's land as soon as possible. We'll leave immediately after resupplying!"
"I understand." Tom's expression became serious.
Perhaps because the Captain was a woman, her feelings were often correct, so he had to be extra vigilant.
Nothing unusual happened until the pirate ship docked. There were only a few unmarked boats anchored on the coast, and the port was deserted.
"Silvia Kingdom, is this the fate of a disaffiliated allied nation...?" Tom felt a pang of emotion looking at the desolate port.
"Hmph! It's their own fault for not having strength. Let's go ashore and resupply quickly. There must still be plenty of civilians and merchants here!" Germa snorted coldly.
Where to resupply? Germa's meaning was clear: of course, by plundering the city!
"Anchor down, land!" Baro roared.
Immediately, a pirate lowered the anchor, then only two pirates were left to guard the pirate ship, and everyone else went ashore.
But as soon as they landed, Germa and Tom's expressions instantly changed drastically, and they quickly dodged to either side!
"Baro! Look out!"
"Boom!"
Tom, while dodging, urgently shouted a warning to the big man Baro, but before his warning cry had even finished, Baro's body exploded with a loud bang!
The surrounding pirates were all affected to varying degrees, and in an instant, the entire port coast was filled with wails of agony!
[Ding~]
[Bounty points + 41 million points!]
Captain Germa and First Mate Tom, who had narrowly escaped, looked terrified, completely stunned by the scene before their eyes.
But the next moment, both of them suddenly looked towards the shore; at that moment, a figure was already rushing towards them with lightning speed!
"Tom!"
Germa shouted urgently, throwing a few spherical objects at the attacking figure.
But the figure dodged all of them.
The spheres exploded behind the figure, and white smoke immediately billowed behind him.
In his terror, Tom didn't forget to attack the figure with cards, but they were all dodged.
"Pfft!"
[Ding~]
[Bounty points + 59 million points!]
"Red Hawk! So it was you..."
"Pfft!"
"Ugh..."
[Ding~]
[Bounty points + 90 million points!]
"Run!"
"Captain... the Captain is dead!"
"Run!"
"Help!"
The remaining pirates who hadn't died, seeing that both the Captain and First Mate had been eliminated, instantly fled in terror.
"Red Shadow · Thousand Feathers!" Andy's voice was low. The next moment, countless crimson sword lights flashed, and on the shore, all of the Candy Nursery Rhyme Pirates were killed.
Finally, he glanced at the pirate ship, then took out his sniper rifle and blew up the pirate ship with a single shot!
The rumbling explosion spread, letting the Revolutionary Army in the city know that Red Hawk had already made his move.
