Chapter 400: A Storm Brews in the East Blue
On the massive deck of the Baratie restaurant, fear gripped the hearts of many as their gazes fixed on the ship approaching from afar. Though the vessel bore signs of heavy damage, its black panther-shaped bow and pirate flags marked with an hourglass insignia sent shivers down their spines.
This was the ship of the Krieg Pirates.
The massive dreadnought battleship Sabre, with its towering three decks, was the pride of the Krieg Pirates.
In the East Blue, the name Krieg carried weight even among some nobles. With a bounty of 17 million, Krieg was considered a "big pirate" in these calmer seas. The Krieg Pirates had built a fearsome reputation that spread throughout the region.
But no one expected to see them here.
"Damn it, we have to get out of here! This place is as good as ransacked now that the Krieg Pirates are here!"
"They might even kill us all!"
"We can’t stay here—run!"
Panic spread like wildfire through the crowd.
In the midst of the chaos, an orange-haired girl shot a worried glance at the green-haired man beside her. "Hey, Zoro! Where’s Luffy? We need to find him and get out of here. These are the Krieg Pirates! If we stick around, we’ll be in serious trouble."
The man, Roronoa Zoro, a swordsman with three swords strapped to his waist, didn’t respond immediately. Instead, his eyes were locked on the pirate ship—but not the dreadnought itself.
No. His attention was fixed on a small boat trailing silently behind it.
