"It's Lieutenant Hana."

Seeing the presence of the investigative squad, Moss was relieved and put down the gun from his hand, saying: "Is the support finally here?"

As Moss and the others put down their weapons, the members of the investigation squad looked at each other in amazement, and then they all lowered their guns too.

Lieutenant Hana was relieved to see her comrades alive, then said in a harry: "Lieutenant Moss, how was the battle? Are there any survivors besides you?"

"The captain and the commander were both killed...there are probably less than a hundred people left!" Moss said slowly with a dull voice.

Although Hana expected something similar would happen, even worse, when she heard that there were less than one hundred people left, the look on her face changed a bit, went a bit pale, then said: "The loss is so heavy...What about the Krieg Pirates?"

"Well..."

Moss thought for a second then continued: "I don't know precisely, but there should be hundreds of them remaining. You came just in time! Let's wipe out the rest of them together!"

The investigation team was standing there stupefied, as they heard Moss' words.

Hana was so confused. There were too many questions left unanswered. Wasn't the marines ultimately defeated, leaving less than a hundred? How come the marine soldiers were the ones chasing the pirates and not the other way around? How! Weren't they outnumbered...!?

The members of the investigation team were also stunned, they even questioned the sanity of the lieutenant...They thought that maybe under shock, he was living in an illusion. However, looking at him, his firm look on his eyes cast out all doubts! They really made it!

"Are you the scouts? I see, the main force hasn't landed yet." Moss looked at Hana and the others for a while, then she said: "Soldier Haas, you go back to report to the captain, let the support troops join us here."

Hana stared blankly at Moss and said, "Lieutenant Moss, what actually happened..."

"Once we..."

Moss quickly explained the situation, and finally added with a heavy sigh: "it may seem unbelievable, but that what actually happened."

Hana and the members of the investigation team were all petrified.

[One vs. two thousand?]

[Admiral Krieg was killed by one move?!]

[This... Are you sure you're not talking nonsense]?

Marine headquarters.

In a large and spacious office, rear admiral Klaus was holding his pipe, pacing in the room with a long face, then said: "Are there any updates?"

"Not yet......"

A nearby Commodore said in a deep voice: "The 170th branch should have arrived by now, but I'm afraid that even with their support...this problem won't be solved."

"We already have enough troubles in the Grand Line, and now things are getting out of hand in the East Blue. The captains of the two branches, the 170th and 171st, are there, but they couldn't even handle a single group of pirates. Good-for-nothing bunch of trash!"

A vice-admiral said with an annoyed look on his face.

Klaus puffed out a cloud of smoke, but said helplessly: "We had no choice...It is true that the pirates in the four seas are weak? The area to cover is too large. We have more than 300 branches in the East Blue. We don't have enough strong captains, to manage all the branches...to cover all the towns..."
