Robbed?
Captain Hobart, who was capturing pirates at the port, was stunned when he heard the report.
Over two meters tall, wearing a doll mask, dressed in a black robe, and speaking with a woman's voice.
Other than that, there were no clues about this mysterious person.
Who could it be? Hobart couldn't figure it out.
But now wasn't the time to think about it. The pirates in Loguetown were almost all caught by the Marines.
He had to hurry back and find out who invaded the Marine base, how they got in, and how they disappeared.
Thinking about this, Hobart felt a sense of foreboding and needed to return quickly!
"Lieutenant Commander Lamy, I'll leave this to you. I need to go back and handle the mysterious intruder!" Hobart handed over the follow-up work to Lieutenant Commander Lamy.
Lamy was Hobart's deputy from headquarters, not only beautiful and sexy but also very capable.
"Yes, Captain Hobart!" Lamy replied seriously.
Hobart nodded and took some marines back to the base.

In the alternate space, little Nami was carefully looking at some sea charts she had just taken from Hobart's office.
"Nami, is there something wrong with these charts? You've been looking at them for so long." Ryuen asked, leaning close to Nami.
He saw Nami's little hands trembling.
"Ryuen, these are Grand Line sea charts! Do you know what this means? We can go to the Grand Line in the future!" Little Nami finally confirmed the authenticity of the charts and was so excited she started dancing.
The Grand Line, a legendary place!
At this moment, Nami was very excited. Her dream was to draw a world map.
Now that they had the Grand Line map, she and Ryuen could set sail for the Grand Line!
"The Grand Line map? This Marine base commander really has everything..."
Ryuen was also happy. Having the Grand Line map would definitely help them in the future.
But it wasn't a huge help, since the most important thing to reach the next island on the Grand Line was the Log Pose.
"Hehehe... So, Ryuen, what should we do next?" Little Nami was in a great mood.
Although they didn't find the Marine's treasure vault this time, getting the Grand Line map made the trip worthwhile.
"Now that the chaos outside has ended, how about we buy some gifts for Nojiko and the others?" Ryuen suggested softly.
Cocoyasi Village didn't have many goods, and most of the items brought by merchant ships were daily necessities. Many things in Loguetown were precious gifts for Cocoyasi Village.
"Sure, and I want to buy clothes. I hate wearing overalls!" Little Nami looked at her overalls, feeling almost depressed.
The clothes in Cocoyasi Village weren't nice, and Bellemere was very poor. Since she could remember, Bellemere had always made her wear overalls.
In the past, there was no choice, but now that they were rich, she wanted to wear pretty clothes.
After deciding, they came out of the other space in a secluded place and happily started shopping in Loguetown.
However, there were fewer people and travelers on the streets now, as many were afraid of being mistaken for pirates after the recent Marine sweep.
Ryuen and Nami looked too young to be suspicious, otherwise, they might have been caught at the execution platform square.

"Boss, do you have any good swords?" Ryuen and Nami walked into a weapon shop.
"Of course! Come in, I have many famous swords!" The shop owner, immediately showed his true colors as a shrewd businessman when he saw customers.
Yes, Ryuen and Nami had come to the shop where Zoro got the Sandai Kitetsu and Yubashiri in the anime!
The Sandai Kitetsu was a cursed sword, discarded by Ipponmatsu into a barrel of cheap swords. Ryuen should be able to get it easily.
But he also wanted to try to get Yubashiri, which was Ipponmatsu's prized possession and wouldn't be given up easily.
Ipponmatsu assumed these two kids were from a wealthy family, and if he served them well, he could make a big profit!
With this in mind, Ipponmatsu enthusiastically introduced various good swords in his shop to Ryuen.
Nami found the shop boring and wandered around on her own.
After listening to Ipponmatsu's introduction, Ryuen was not satisfied. The best swords were only of the Wazamono grade.
"Hey! Boss, your swords are too low-grade. You don't even have a Ryo Wazamono, let alone an O Wazamono!" Ryuen pretended to be angry, glaring at Ipponmatsu.
"Hehe~ Dear customer, the best swords I have are those few. I really don't have anything better!" Ipponmatsu said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
He could tell that this kid wasn't a pure swordsman, so he wouldn't bring out his prized Yubashiri.
He wanted to give Yubashiri to a pure swordsman to fulfill his own unrealized dream. But this boy clearly didn't meet the criteria.
Ryuen stared at Ipponmatsu for a long time, but Ipponmatsu didn't budge.
"Alright, I won't make it hard for you." Ryuen gave up. After all, he wasn't a pure swordsman; he just wanted a sharp and handy sword.
If he had the chance, he would find someone to forge a sword for him.
"I'm really sorry, customer. Thank you for understanding." Ipponmatsu sighed in relief when he heard Ryuen relent.
But what Ryuen did next shocked him!
Ryuen walked straight to the barrel of cheap swords and pulled out a sword with a red sheath!
Ryuen looked at the Sandai Kitetsu in his hand, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Customer, this sword is not for sale. It's a cursed sword, please..."
He drew the Sandai Kitetsu and admired it. The extremely sharp blade and the purple patterns on the blade gave it a strange look.
"Sandai Kitetsu, one of the 50 skillful grade swords. Boss, I want this one. Nami, give me 50,000 Berries!" Ryuen ignored Ipponmatsu's warning.
"Huh? Have you chosen?" Nami said as she opened her backpack.
She counted out 50,000 Berries from her backpack and handed them to Ryuen.
"Id... idiot! I won't sell it!"
"This is a cursed sword. If you die because of it, it would be like I killed you!" Ipponmatsu was very anxious.
Although he was a bit greedy, he didn't want anyone to die because of a sword he sold.
"I like it, so I'll take it!" Ryuen threw the 50,000 Berries to Ipponmatsu.
Then, under Ipponmatsu's frustrated gaze, he pulled Nami out of the weapon shop.
Ryuen saw that Ipponmatsu wasn't a bad person, so he didn't use force to take his Yubashiri.
His principle was: if people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If people offend me, I'll destroy them completely!
And scatter their ashes.
