Chapter 350 She's a woman with tricks up her sleeve.
"So Andrew died here."
Looking at the traces around him, Roman shook his head.
The weather in the New World is bad.
Heavy rain is the perfect lover of murder cases.
If this is true even in suspense novels with detectives, then it's even more true in the magical world of One Piece.
"No, there's no trace."
"I asked some people, and they all said they didn't see the scene at the time."
Do we really have to get involved in this?
"Oh well, so what if he's dead? Can't we just go through the motions?"
As always, the four of them followed behind Roman. After a preliminary survey of the scene, they started muttering to themselves.
"Really? Don't tell me that this is all you've come to after staying here for a few days. If that's the case, I can't guarantee you won't be lying here in the end."
However, after seeing Roman's ill-intentioned look, she finally said something useful.
Grant said somewhat reluctantly, "Although there are no clues about why Andrew died, it seems like these kinds of things are happening quite often lately."
"Tell me more details," Roman said, crossing his arms.
This relieved Gran; at least she wouldn't get beaten up this time.
But Patch scoffed, "I thought you found something? This is the New World. Isn't it perfectly normal for pirates to die here?"
"How dare someone with an empty head say such things to me? If there's nothing suspicious about this, would I just say it like that?" Gran immediately glared at Patch, his face contorted with malice.
"No matter what, you'd better hurry up and tell us, or we'll all be lying here." Although Raven was still a bit lazy, he had already keenly sensed that Roman was on the verge of getting angry.
The title "Black Dragon" is no joke.
Hearing this, Grant disregarded Patch and said, "The problem is..."
According to Gran, pirates have been dying frequently in the area recently.
That's right, it's near where Andrew died.
Although it's not obvious, the frequency seems to have increased compared to previous years.
And it's within this range.
“That doesn’t prove anything,” Sly said calmly from the side.
"It's not surprising that anything happens in the New World. Pirates and the Navy are inherently fragile beings in the New World, so it's not surprising that more of them die."
"No, why can't you understand?" Gran looked at her with a disappointed expression.
“I understand, Gran, I get what you mean,” Roman suddenly spoke up, breaking the crowd’s doubts.
"What do you mean?"
“The problem lies in the scope,” Roman said in a deep voice.
According to the information Gran gathered, the number of pirates dying in this area has increased recently.
"Didn't you realize that this place is very close to G5 Fortress?"
"So what?"
"Fools, didn't you ever consider that this was the work of G5 Fortress?"
"Isn't it normal for them to kill pirates? And..."
Suddenly, an eerie silence fell.
In an instant, they understood what Grant meant.
If Andrew's death was indeed not normal, then it is highly likely that the people at G5 Fortress were responsible.
It's not impossible.
Who are the navy personnel at G5 Fortress?
A gathering place for extreme hawks.
As the new world's naval defense line, the navy inside Fort G5 is not some kind-hearted, benevolent old man.
A significant portion of them have very extreme personalities.
If one of them harbored resentment towards Andrew and killed him, it would seem like a reasonable explanation.
“But isn’t that a bit far-fetched? I have to admit, your idea makes sense, but it’s not accurate, is it?” Sly was clearly thinking further ahead.
“I think her conclusion is quite likely.” Roman nodded in agreement.
"Sir, are you sure?"
Do you think I did nothing?
Roman certainly wouldn't do nothing.
While his men were searching for clues, she was also busy.
She knew about the increased frequency of pirate deaths here even before Gran did.
They also noticed earlier that this place was relatively close to the G5 fortress.
Of course, there are other things as well.
That's the pirate kill report from G5 Fortress.
No, that's not right, there's a big problem.
The death list and the number of times the warships sailed were not right.
It gives Roman the impression that many pirates died, but it has nothing to do with G5 Fortress.
Moreover, no abnormalities have been reported at G5 Fortress for a long time.
However, many pirates are disappearing, and the frequency of their deaths for unknown reasons is increasing.
But the nearby G5 was not the one who created this situation?
"So, what are they hiding?" Sly had caught up with Roman's train of thought.
I think so.
……
"I still feel like it's a bit far-fetched," Raven whispered to Sly from behind.
What exactly do you mean?
“What I mean is, isn’t this a hot potato? Even if Andrew’s death really is related to G5 Fortress, and G5 Fortress is indeed hiding something, what does that have to do with us? Continuing to investigate might not be a good thing.” Raven felt this would be troublesome.
"Maybe this is what the commander wants."
"what do you mean……"
“After all, the commander supports the dove Aokiji, so from her perspective, she might not be against doing things that could strike at the hawks,” Sly said meaningfully.
"So, sir, you're thinking..."
"Maybe it's just an excuse. What she wants might just be a legitimate reason. Don't forget, she's a shrewd person."
"Truly terrifying."
Power struggles are a terrible thing.
It exists in gangs, and it exists even more so in a massive organization like the Navy.
