Frost Moon Dojo,
Shigetsuki Koushiro, who was about to go to bed, was woken up again.
"It's already rest time, Mo Jing!" Koushiro looked at the person in front of the door helplessly.
"Sorry, I really have something important to do and I need to borrow the phone bug." Mo Jing said apologetically.
Looking at his expression, Koushiro seemed to be aware of the undercurrent hidden under this calmness, and his face gradually became serious.
"It seems something bad happened."
He didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he immediately took Mo Jing to the study next to him, and woke up the phone bug who was wearing round glasses and a peaceful face from his nap.
After a few seconds, the call was connected.
"This is Barati, the sea restaurant. Are you looking for death if you call me so late?" It was still Paddy's familiar voice.
"Mo Jing, look for Zhepu." Mo Jing said calmly.
"(puff--)……"
There was a sound of water spraying from the receiver, and someone cursed and walked away.
Soon after, Zhepu's voice came from the receiver.
"Why are you calling me so late? If you want to find Ah Jin, they have already set off!"
"When did you set off?"
"Didn't you ask them to prepare supplies yesterday afternoon?" Zhepu asked doubtfully.
Mo Jing was silent for a second.
It was true that he asked a few people to prepare supplies, but due to Koushiro, he did not set a date with the crew for departure, only the last few days, so they should have returned to Barati after preparing supplies.
He hasn't come back yet, which can only mean that something happened.
As an experienced pirate, Zhepu also heard something wrong in Mo Jing's words.
"Balati is not far from Rogge Town. Even if it takes a little time, it's time to come back now..." He said in a solemn tone, "Boy Mo Jing, did you hear any news?"
Mo Jing briefly recounted the previous encounter. Until now, his tone was still calm, but both Zhepu and Koushiro beside him could feel the turbulent undercurrent hidden in it.
"This is a trap, boy Mo Jing!" Zhepu said with certainty: "Although most pirates are brainless guys, the one who can become the Shichibukai must not be the one who can become the Shichibukai. The target of the Don Quixote family must be you! "
Mo Jing hummed calmly. He figured this out when he walked to Shuangyue Dojo.
"If there's nothing else, I'll get busy first."
"Wait..." Zhepu's final advice came from the receiver: "Be sure to calm down, kid Mo Jing!"
"...Don't worry, I'm calm now!"
After hanging up the phone, Mo Jing thanked Koushiro at the side, stood up, and walked out of the house.
Koushiro followed him, and the two of them jumped onto the roof, disappearing into the moonlight one after another. A few minutes later, they appeared on the hillside where they had talked before.
The sound of sea water lapping against the rock wall came from below, seeming to be setting the pace for tonight's ceremony.
"Still going?" Koushiro looked at his back.
"Of course." Mo Jing nodded without hesitation.
"Even if you know it's a trap?" Koushiro sighed.
"That's why I have to go even more!" Mo Jing looked at the deep sea in the distance, his eyes as calm as the silent tide at night, "Since they want blood, then I will give them blood. Even the crew can't protect me. What else is captain?"
Koushiro was speechless.
"Goodbye, Mr. Koushiro!" Mo Jing walked to the edge of the cliff and turned to look at him. The sea breeze blew up the corners of his clothes, bringing with him his last soliloquy,
"Speaking of which, they always thought I was a fish-man!"
Turn around and jump down.
…
In Luoge Town, the three-masted sailing ship "New Koi" with a leaping koi engraved on its bow was quietly moored at the pier, and the atmosphere was as peaceful as ever.
The boatman Xing Sa, still wearing a white shirt and brown suit pants, laboriously moved a wooden box full of parts onto the ship, placed it on the deck with a thud, pushed up his glasses, and sat on the box panting.
In order to satisfy his carpentry hobby, he spent a lot of effort to get these small parts.
The door to the captain's cabin opened, and the wild laughter of a certain dwarf came from it. The female gunner Garfidel with pink hair stretched out her head to take a look. When she saw Xing Sa, she quickly waved to him: "Ship repairer, You're back!"
"How many times have I told you to call me by my name..." Xing Sa sighed helplessly, "Forget it, I'm here to help you, I'm a fucker!"
Shooting, shooting...
Garfidel bit his lip, clenched his fists, and his face was deformed with anger, but he still reluctantly went over to help Xing Sa carry the parts into the cabin.
"Are they all back?" Xing Sa asked.
Garfidel counted them one by one with his fingers: "Nicola, went to buy ingredients and came back. Eden didn't go out and wiped all the barrels... Did I miss anyone?"
"New Year's Eve, and New Year's Eve!" Xing Sa rubbed his eyebrows. Sometimes he would forget the existence of New Year's Eve. This guy's sense of existence was too weak.
"New Year's Eve?" Garfidel opened his eyes wide and pointed behind Xing Sa, "Isn't it right behind you?"
A curse word broke out in the cabin, and Xing Sa looked resentfully at New Year's Eve behind him, who was smiling sheepishly. After this period of exercise, New Year's Eve had obviously lost some weight, and had become... well, still so ordinary. .
"Why are you here, where is Ajin?"
As the person in charge of intelligence on the ship, everyone generally listens to Xing Sa when Ah Jin is away.
"I came down to check the warehouse. Ah Jin just received a note and entered Rogge Town." New Year's Eve said calmly.
"A note?" Xing Sa was a little confused, "Ajin has an acquaintance here?"
"I was just about to tell you about this." New Year's Eve's voice suddenly became serious, "I think something is wrong."
It turned out that he and Ah Jin were chatting on the deck before. Suddenly a child climbed onto the boat and handed Ah Jin a note. Ah Jin looked very unhappy after reading it. He only said that someone was looking for him and he had to go. If he doesn't come back after a while, let the five people go back to Barati first.
After listening to New Year's Eve's description, Xing Sa frowned deeply.
Judging from A Jin's reaction, the person who wrote the letter may have some information about A Jin and has a deep relationship with A Jin.
But judging from the action of asking the child to deliver the letter, it is obvious that he does not want Wuzayu to recognize him, which means that the letter writer is also a person familiar to the five of them, and thinks that they will definitely stop Ah Jin after knowing his identity!
Thinking of this, Xing Sa's eyes narrowed. He could only think of one person who could have such a tangled relationship with them-Click!
Click's invitation is most likely a trap!
Akin, who understands Clik so well, must have thought of this before letting them return on their own!
Xing Sa raised his head and was about to tell his speculation, but as soon as he opened his mouth, an even more terrifying speculation passed through his mind, making him freeze up.
No, no, no...it's more than that!
Sweat beaded on his forehead.
Why would Crick, a sinister person like him, choose to take action now?
This is Rogge Town, the town where White Hunter Smog is located. Set a trap here and ambush Ah Jin. Are you crazy!
It can only mean that the other party has helpers who are stronger than Smoker and can ignore the existence of the navy!
He immediately thought of the Don Quixote family that Mo Jing had mentioned to them on the phone before.
But if the Don Quixote family really takes action, is it worthwhile to deal with just one Akin?
So Ah Jin is also a bait!
What he really wants to elicit is...
Xing Sa looked at the two men fiercely:
"Oops, Captain!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise came from outside the cabin!
The three of them looked at each other and quickly ran towards the deck.
When they arrived on the deck, the cook Nicholas and the navigator Eden were already fighting with a strange man wearing a yellow plush coat and at least three meters tall.
No...it's more of a play than a fight!
I saw that weirdo who often spoke with a strange ending, his whole body turning like a propeller, and the fan-shaped hair on his neck could even make him fly!
When the three of them came to the deck, they happened to see him flying into the sky to avoid Nikolai's heavy punch and Eden's flying kick, then turned around and a huge wind pressure pressed the two of them on the deck!
"Buffalo! The Don Quixote family!" Xing Sa immediately recognized the other party, exactly as Mo Jing described on the phone.
My heart sank.
"It seems everyone has arrived!" A cold female voice came from above.
The five people looked up and saw a graceful maid wearing windproof glasses and one arm missing standing on the mast. The sea breeze blew up her skirt slightly, but no one cared to watch.
——Baby-5!
The battle maid of the Don Quixote family!
With a cigarette hanging from the corner of her mouth, she looked down at the five people below coldly.
"Buffalo, it's time to end!" She declared coldly, jumped off the mast, and turned her fingers into five gun barrels in mid-air, as if she wanted to catch five people in one go!
"Escape separately!" Xing Sa made the decision immediately.
Although a few days of training have transformed them, and even Ajin admits that they are already elites among the minions, it is still too outrageous to deal with two Devil Fruit users from the very beginning, one of which is a weapon fruit that can be called a killing weapon. Got it!
The five people ran away in different directions without hesitation.
However... they still underestimated the ability of the Don Quixote family's fighting maid and her mount!
Buffalo and Baby-5 split up. Xingsa, who was the slowest, was swept away by a stick and hit the mast. Then came Garfidel, the low-end version of the weapons master who met the real weapons master, that was Li Gui. When I saw Li Kui, he was beaten up and thrown back, and then Nikolai...
Ten minutes later, a small figure flew back to the ship in the strong wind.
Buffalo's excited voice came: "I caught that little dwarf!"
"You're the dwarf!" Eden stood up and scolded him after rolling around on the boat a few times. When he turned his head, he found that everyone was looking at him.
"Haha, everyone is here!" He smiled awkwardly, and the next second he was kicked into the crowd by Baby-5.
"It's so easy, baby-5. They are so weak. Are they really the crew of Mo Jing?" Buffalo fell from the sky and shouted to baby-5 who was standing on the stairs smoking, "This way we can go back to work." Come on!"
Baby-5 took a deep drag on the cigarette and kicked Nicholas back as he got up again. He was about to answer Buffalo's words, but he felt that he had overlooked something and took a long puff of cigarette irritably.
This feeling had existed before, like a tangled thread, and it had been bothering her until now.
"Buffalo, apart from these five people, have we forgotten anything else?" she asked anxiously.
"What are you talking about, baby-5 Ying!" Buffalo said in surprise, "There are only four people here!"
After saying that, he himself was stunned for a moment.
Why does he still take it for granted that there are only four people left?
Baby-5 finally came to his senses, carefully counted the number of people, and recalled the scene where everyone ran away before. He was horrified to find that he didn't know who was missing!
It seems that in her memory, only these four people exist!
If she hadn't clearly remembered that there were five people assigned in the mission, she almost thought she had caught them all!
Baby-5 walked to the mast angrily and picked up Xingsa, whose face was bruised and bruised - she had vented her anger on many people before.
"Who else is missing?" Her face looked even uglier than Xing Sa's at this time.
"Put this person down!!" Nicholas stood up again at some point, roaring like a clumsy bear and attacking Baby-5.
But he was easily dodged by the other party, one foot turned into a mace, and he flew out with one leg, crashing into the cabin.
"If you don't want to die, tell him where he is!" Baby-5's expression became even more ugly. One of her fingers turned into a gun barrel and pressed against Xing Sa's chin. The murderous intent in her eyes was no longer concealed.
The purpose of their mission is to catch the miscellaneous fish and prevent them from communicating with Mo Jing. Otherwise, these people will tell Mo Jing the information about the reinforcements. What will happen if Mo Jing feels that he can't defeat them and doesn't come?
But I didn't expect that such a weak opponent would actually let the opponent escape!
And she and Buffalo almost didn't realize it!
Is it some kind of weird fruit power user?
Being lifted up in the air, Xing Sa laughed hoarsely: "Have you finally come to your senses? Hahaha..."
"You don't want us to remind the captain that this is actually a trap for him..." He paused, lowered his head and looked at baby-5 sarcastically, and said word by word: "It's too late!"
…
Whoop, whoop, whoop...
On New Year's Eve, I was panting and running through the streets, using the simple shadowless steps under my feet to the extreme!
In his mind, he recalled what Xing Sa told him in his ear more than ten minutes ago when the three of them were running to the deck: "Whether you are fighting or fleeing, you must leave as soon as possible. Be sure to tell the captain about the situation here." !”
boom!
He knocked open the door of a tavern and shouted to his old mother-in-law: "Phone bug! Urgent!"
Soon, an old telephone bug was put up, and he hurriedly pressed the number of Shuangyue Dojo.
BLU BRU BLU…
After a while, the call was answered.
A man's voice came from the receiver...
…
In the sea breeze,
The livid-faced baby-5 held up the receiver. Soon, the expression on his face gradually softened, and he even smiled.
After hanging up the phone, she looked at the four crew members with bruises and faces proudly: "I have some bad news for you..."
Amid the ugly expressions on the four people's faces, she smiled charmingly and said, "It's indeed late. Your captain has already set off!"
…
New Year's Eve put down the receiver with a pale face, ignoring the increasingly distant voice of concern from the man inside.
It's too late, it's too late, the captain has been trapped!
He walked towards the door in despair.
No, he still has a chance, he can hide near the dock and wait for the captain!
Just thinking so.
boom!
A group of weird people who looked like a mixture of animals and humans walked into the tavern laughing and knocked him to the ground.
The hedgehog walking in the front bent down and looked at him doubtfully.
"Jihehehe, does this kid look familiar to you?"
