He was very confused. It seemed that Kaido was just a slightly famous pirate. How could someone like him offend the Whitebeard Pirates?
With such doubts, she called Larson's Den Den Mushi again.
"How did you think about it?"
Hearing Larson's voice on the phone, Tsuru fell silent for two seconds. "Yes, but you have to return the heavenly gold you took away last time."
Larson chuckled and said, "Sorry, the gold in the sky has been eaten by one of our crew members."
"Eaten? Eat?"
Tsuru's forehead was covered with black lines. "You are going to find me a Devil Fruit as a reward for our deal."
"This is simple, so that's it?"
"Okay."
She didn't expect Larson to agree so readily and regretted that the conditions she offered were too low.
But the words had been spoken and could not be taken back. "You carry the Den Den Mushi with you. If there is any news about Kaido, I will inform you."
"Okay, thanks."
"By the way," Tsuru suddenly added, "Can you tell me why you want to find Kaido?"
Although she asked, she didn't have much confidence that Larson would answer her.
"It's nothing much."
Larson replied calmly, "The guy named Kaido injured a crew member of our Whitebeard Pirates. In return, it's not too much for me to want to take down his entire Beast Pirates."
Tsuru fell silent upon hearing this. Others only injured one of your crew members, but you actually wanted to destroy their entire pirate group? How dare you say that?
How do you have the nerve to say it?
"I understand. I will inform you as soon as there is any news."
She hung up the phone and told her assistant, "Publish all the information about Kaido and let all branches know to pay attention. If you have any news about him, you must report it to me."
"I understand."
The assistant turned to leave, but Tsuru suddenly thought of something. "Wait a minute."
She hesitated. "Let me explain to each branch again. They must never provoke the Whitebeard Pirates. Whether it's Whitebeard, Larson, or any of the crew members, if they encounter them, they should hide if they can. If not, just act like they can't see them."
Although the assistant was surprised, he nodded. "Yes."
"Well, go get busy."
After the assistant left, Tsuru sat alone in her office, rubbing her temples as a headache washed over her.
She was troubled by the Whitebeard Pirates. From what she knew, there were only four notable members: Whitebeard, Larson, a 13-year-old child, and another little pirate with no identifying characteristics.
With just these four, Larson and Whitebeard were willing to go to such lengths for revenge. When the Whitebeard Pirates truly grew stronger in the future, who would dare to provoke them?
"Ugh."
She sighed. There was suddenly a terrifying pirate group on the sea, and all she could do was try to prevent conflicts between the navy and the Whitebeard Pirates, maintaining a relationship that resembled friendship but could turn hostile at any moment.
Naval Division.
Under the nervous and anxious gaze of the ensign, Larson hung up the phone.
"Thank you."
Larson smiled and said, "But I may have one more thing to ask of you."
The ensign stammered, "What, what's the matter?"
Larson asked, "Can you give me this Den Den Mushi of yours?"
The ensign sighed in relief. "You can take it."
He was shocked. It turned out to be just a Den Den Mushi. He had thought Larson wanted him to do something more serious.
Larson smiled at the naval soldier who opened the door for him. "Thank you very much, little brother. If you have time in the future, you can come and visit us at the Whitebeard Pirates."
A smile uglier than crying appeared on the navy soldier's face. "Next time, definitely next time."
"So..."
Larson waved goodbye to everyone. "I'll see you later."
The others were so frightened that they quickly waved back at him.
With everyone watching him leave, Larson exited the naval branch.
As soon as he stepped out, the oppressive atmosphere that had been hanging over everyone vanished.
The ensign turned to the navy soldier with a complicated expression. "Do you know that our place was almost destroyed by the Whitebeard Pirates just because of you?"
The naval soldier looked like he was about to cry. "Second Lieutenant, I really didn't know him!"
"Ugh."
The ensign patted him on the shoulder. "Fortunately, you performed well."
It was fortunate he hadn't known Larson personally; otherwise, his normal behavior could have cost them dearly. If he had encountered navy officers with a strong hatred for pirates, and Larson had made a move without explanation, they would have been extremely angry. It could have led to a disastrous situation for all involved.
The ensign asked, "What is your current rank?"
The Marine soldier carefully replied, "Private First Class."
Most of the soldiers in the navy are typically first-class soldiers. After joining the navy, they generally become first-class after two or three years without major mistakes.
The ensign pondered and said, "I will instruct my superiors to apply for your promotion to corps commander."
When the soldier heard this, he was elated, having not expected such a stroke of luck.
"Yes! Thank you, Lieutenant!"
The second lieutenant patted him on the shoulder, saying seriously, "You should thank yourself."
Larson donned his hood and cloak as he walked back down the path.
He didn't hurry because he was recalling the conversation he had with Tsuru over the Den Den Mushi.
Asking the Navy for help was the only way Larson could think of to find Kaido quickly at this stage.
Of course, he could have chosen to search for Kaido on the sea without navy assistance, but that could take an indefinite amount of time.
He exchanged time from a Devil Fruit for the Navy's help in locating Kaido, and in Larson's view, he had struck a bargain.
What he gained went beyond the previously discussed terms; it was the final words he said to Tsuru. That phone call not only enabled him to strike a deal with her, but it was also essential for conveying the dangerous attitude of the Whitebeard Pirates. In the end, he intended for her to understand that if anyone sought to provoke members of the Whitebeard Pirates, they would not have an easy time.
He believed that after hearing his words, Tsuru would be even more cautious regarding the Whitebeard Pirates in the future.
Now that the Whitebeard Pirates had him, he didn't want the events of war to unfold in this world again.
He wanted the world to understand that if they wished to avoid the wrath of the Whitebeard Pirates, they must avoid provoking them.
