The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

If Kozuki Momonosuke could let go, he would have wanted to slap himself hard a few times. If he had known this would happen, he should not have left the snow cave.

If he had endured the hunger a little longer and waited for Kin'emon to come back, he would not have ended up being captured. Amid the laughter and scolding of the navy, tears welled up in the boy's eyes.

"It's no use crying now. The people from the Navy Headquarters are on their way. As long as they take you back to Marinford, you will never leave there in your lifetime."

Bullying a child is not a big deal, but if the child being bullied is a child with a future of achievement, Kozuki Momonosuke can be said to be shining in Tenmu.

A separate chapter was even opened to introduce this character, and he was given full prominence, on par with Buggy and Chopper.

But now it has ended up like this. It is true that a genius must be strangled in the cradle. As long as the navy has the chance, it will not let the future enemy grow. Having suffered a loss once, now that it has a second chance, it must try its best to plug the gap.

The boy was so hungry that he didn't want to talk. He was so broken-down that he was in no mood to speak. Kozuki Momonosuke felt that the future of Tenmu was getting farther and farther away from him, and the future in reality might be even more cruel.

He could only pray that the navy would be a decent person and not mistreat him too much, and at least give him something to eat every day. As for restoring the country, he didn't even want to think about it now, as the boy already understood that it was unrealistic.

"Captain, there are lights ahead and I can hear the sound of a sled."

"People from the base are here to pick us up."

There is strength in numbers. By joining forces with the navy at the branch base, the risk of prisoner kidnapping can be minimized. After that, Kozuki Momonosuke can be imprisoned in the branch base and wait for the navy headquarters to send a ship to pick him up. The matter of Punk Hazard will then come to an end.

After the two navies got in touch, they verified the identity of Kozuki Momonosuke and proved that the boy was not an imposter and that he still had the mark of Wano Country on his body, so he was definitely the real owner.

Pulling the remaining people onto the sled, the navy headed towards the branch base at full speed. During this time, Kozuki Momonosuke received some food and water supplies.

The navy was afraid that he would starve to death before reaching the branch base. The value of a dead Kozuki would be greatly reduced, so they could not let the boy die easily.

However, if the boy could not be saved, the Navy had granted them the right to kill him first. Outsiders could not get the genius that the Navy Headquarters could not get.

After Kin'emon came back, he found that his young master was missing. He then began to search near the snow cave and found traces of life left by the navy. He guessed that the young master might have been captured by the navy.

He followed the footprints left by the hurried march in the snow and began to run wildly in the direction the navy had left. He was getting close to the naval squadron, but he didn't expect that they had already joined up with the main force.

Hundreds of sailors were coming on sleds. It was impossible for a single warrior like him to deal with all of them in an instant. In the chaos of the battle, the young master's life might even be harmed.

With a worried look on his face, Kin'emon sighed and said, "Young master, young master, why don't you just listen to me? How can the Kozuki clan revive the country of Wano without you?"

After feeling compassion for the world, the tears in the corners of his eyes had frozen. Kin'emon put away his sadness. He knew that now was not the time to give up. He had survived the days in Wano Country, so this little difficulty would not be a problem for him.

The man followed the sled troop from a distance on foot and witnessed their team entering the sub-base. However, this trip was not in vain. He clearly saw the young master with his hands and feet tied being carried into this place.

It is extremely difficult to enter the heavily guarded naval base to rescue people. Without any external help, Kin'emon can only try to find out the situation from the outside.

First, find out who are the visible and hidden sentries, and remember their shift changing times. Perhaps during the break in shift changing, Kin'emon can find a chance to sneak in.

He needs a navy uniform now. Otherwise, with his tattered clothes now, he will be recognized as a spy as soon as he enters the branch base. Not only will he fail to save the young master, but he will also be trapped.

"I have to be patient and wait and wait"

Kin'emon was eating the raw fish he had caught and putting the cold fish meat in his mouth. The food that was originally prepared for the young master could now only be enjoyed by him.

After Momonosuke entered the branch base, he was detained in a special cell, separated from other pirate prisoners. There were many navy guards nearby, all of whom were there to protect his safety.

The boy who saw this scene was very moved. His body was lying on the cold ground, and he was heartbroken at this moment.

Faced with such security forces, he no longer expected Kin'emon to break through. Faced with this desperate situation, he wanted to die but did not dare to. He did not know how Caesar Courant would treat the boy if he fell into the hands of the mad scientist.

After eating and drinking on the way here, Momonosuke felt a little tired. He wanted to take a nap to escape from everything. Maybe he would see his relatives in his dreams and live a superior life in Wano Country again.

Under the surveillance of a group of navy men, Kozuki Momonosuke shed tears and gradually fell asleep. He was so tired that he even snored. He was really leisurely.

Time is not on the boy's side. The ship that the Navy Headquarters is sending to pick him up has already set off and will take him away after tonight. Caesar Kulang is still waiting to slice him up and study what the Hyuga clan's bloodline is.

At around three o'clock in the morning, a violent explosion suddenly sounded in the base, followed by a series of loud noises, as if to tear the entire world apart.

The sleeping boy was awakened by the sudden vibration. He sat up in horror with his heart beating rapidly.

The surroundings were instantly ignited by the fireball, and the scorching flames engulfed everything nearby. Thick smoke billowed and flames shot up into the sky. Momonosuke widened his eyes, looking at the horrific scene in front of him, at a loss.

No one cared about the prisoners. The navy in the base was desperately trying to put out the fire and minimize the losses as much as possible.

The sound of bombing outside continued without interruption, and each explosion brought stronger impact and vibration. The buildings in the base were crumbling, the sound of broken glass came one after another, and the steel structures creaked.

It is not difficult to guess that there is definitely an external enemy attacking the naval base. It is a perfect time to take advantage of the situation to escape. Momonosuke's mind is working rapidly, trying to figure out how to escape from prison.

The iron railings around were too hard to be broken by his weak arms and legs. If there was an explosion nearby, it would just blow a hole here.

Unfortunately, it was just a child's fantasy after all. The foreign enemy had not yet entered the branch base. Momonosuke pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation of the navy, trying to get useful information from the adults.

"Why did the BIG MOM Pirates attack us?"

"What value does a moneyless, snowy place like Punk Hazard have to the Four Emperors?"

Several pirate ships flying the flag of the Big Mom Pirates came a step ahead of the ships of the Navy Headquarters and began to approach the shore and bombard the sub-base continuously.
