One Piece: Alucard the Immortal

"Hmm?"

After confirming the shipbuilding arrangements, Alucard turned around, only to find that Roger Pirates crew, who should have been nearby, had vanished.

Usually, Alucard wouldn't bother with such matters, but for some reason this time, he felt something was about to happen. Perhaps it was just a gut feeling.

Alucard swiftly leaped onto the top of one of Water 7's tallest towers. From there, his Thermal Vision, which surpassed even Observation Haki for searching people, kicked in. Alucard's Thermal Vision could easily locate targets within a city, and the higher he stood, the better its effect.

"North Coast, then?" Alucard muttered to himself, swiftly heading towards the northern part of Water 7.

At this moment, the Roger Pirates had just arrived. Two battleships, adorned with the World Government's five-circle emblem, stood prominently. Several figures in white suits and strange masks descended from the ships, flanked by a retinue of black-suited agents.

Since the North Coast was Water 7's primary port, it was usually bustling with people. Upon hearing that World Government ships had arrived, many couldn't resist their curiosity and flocked to witness the spectacle.

The Roger Pirates, meanwhile, concealed themselves within the crowd, observing carefully.

Even powerful pirate crews instinctively fled upon seeing the Marines, let alone the World Government. Even a rough leader like Roger knew that this was not the time to show their faces; they should observe the situation thoroughly. Moreover, their ship wasn't even built yet.

"CP0..." Rayleigh, standing beside Roger, retreated further into the crowd. When he saw the masked figures disembarking from the ship, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

'They've sent very troublesome opponents,' he thought. 'No, we don't even know yet if they're here for the Roger Pirates.'

"What do we do, partner?" Roger whispered beside him.

"Don't rush, Roger, and everyone else. Let's first see what they intend to do, and if we're their target." Rayleigh first warned the other members of the Roger Pirates around them, then turned to Roger. "Roger, your Observation Haki is almost unrivaled in the world. Even at this distance, you should be able to hear their words clearly. Please, I'm counting on you."

"Secure the surrounding waters, monitor all outgoing ships. You can ignore other pirates, the primary target is Alucard." A CP0 agent issued orders to the government agents under them. Roger heard their words, not missing a single detail.

"Ahahaha, they're looking for that kid, after all," Roger laughed heartily.

"Alucard?" Shanks looked confused, then asked, "Rayleigh-san, what should we do?"

"Mind your own business," Rayleigh said with a smile. "While I usually don't mind a big fight with those government bastards, our ship is still waiting to be built. For now, let's keep a low profile."

"Can I watch? See what happens between the government and that immortal monster?" Shanks asked with a grin.

This time, it wasn't Rayleigh who spoke, but Roger. "Hahaha, perfect, I want to watch too. You want to come along, Buggy?"

"No, no, no, I don't want to get involved, Captain Roger," Buggy quickly waved his hands, refusing.

While the Roger Pirates were talking, the CP0 agents had already begun to move. Aside from those securing the nearby waters, more agents started searching the town for Alucard, including the three highest-ranking CP0 executive officers, clad in white with silver masks.

"CP0..." Alucard stood on the roof of a tall building, observing the commotion below. Their attire was simply too conspicuous, causing him to recognize them at a glance.

In the original story, only CP9 had demonstrated their combat abilities; CP0 remained a complete mystery. However, anyone capable of terrifying Caesar Clown, a mad scientist with a 300 million Berry bounty, to the point of speechlessness, certainly possessed extraordinary qualities.

"Are they looking for me?" After observing for a while, Alucard noticed many government agents holding copies of his photo, continuously asking nearby residents for information about him.

"Honestly, I've been too high-profile lately," Alucard muttered, rubbing his head. In the past few days, when gathering money by hunting pirates, he often made too much of a spectacle.

Having just killed someone on the street today, he was sure many people now recognized him. It was only a matter of time before he was found out.

Since that's the case, he might as well take the initiative.

Alucard transformed into bats and flew over the island. To catch the bandits, one must first catch their leader.

His target from the start was the CP0 leading trio. However, until he confirmed their capabilities, it was safer to acquire more "revival coins."
