"If you're afraid, ask them to come out to do hard work, move these people together, lock them up and count them, and let them receive them together when the navy comes." Zhang Da also thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.
Ye Yan didn't have any objections and just called the flag demons to come over and work. Anyway, everyone would go back to the boat to sleep in a while, so there was no need for the flag demons to watch.
"Although it's already night, there should be someone on duty, right?" After leaving the banquet hall, Zhang Da also took out his phone and dialed the maritime rescue number.
It turned out that there was indeed one, and the naval base that answered the call was somewhat unexpected, it was the Rogue Town Naval Base.
This call usually connects to the nearest naval base, and the nearest naval base to the entrance of the Grand Line seems to be Rogge Town.
However, this matter was obviously not something that the Rogge Town Navy could solve. After Zhang Daye explained the specific situation, the operator said that he would immediately report it to the intelligence office of the headquarters and ask them to dispatch manpower.
So Zhang Da also emphasized that there were four to five hundred criminals from the Baroque Working Group here, and that these people were trying to subvert the political power of the franchised countries.
The operator was in awe and sighed that it was indeed the Amber Tour Group. He would report all this exactly, but according to his estimation, the navy ship would not arrive until tomorrow evening at the earliest.
"Let's go back to the ship to rest. We will probably stop here for a day tomorrow." Zhang Da also greeted his companions to go back and picked up Tom directly.
This guy still didn't understand what was going on. He turned around every step of the way with a confused look on his face. How could he just have an ordinary meal and turn into a fight and arrest?
By the time everyone returned to the boat, Arturia had already finished taking a shower and put on her little lion pajamas. She tilted her head and gently wiped her hair with a towel, slowly letting the towel absorb the moisture from her hair.
"Welcome back." Artoria said, and after waiting for the response, she looked at Zhang Tatsuya with burning eyes, "So many criminals can be exchanged for a lot of bounties, right?"
"Probably." Zhang Da also calculated that the pile of weapons alone would be worth a lot of money, and the value of the gun that had eaten the canine fruit should not be inferior to a famous sword. But Artoria suddenly cares about the bounty, and her purpose is definitely not simple.
Zhang Da also said tentatively: "How about a simple midnight snack to celebrate?"
"Okay!" Artoria nodded immediately, and the dull hair that had just been dried stood up lively.
"Okay, everyone should wash up, and then come to the restaurant if you want to eat. If you don't want to eat, go and rest." Zhang Da also looked at Perona and Wendy, "Especially you, go to bed early and get up early for good health, go to bed late You won’t grow taller if you get up late.”
This sentence was a sure blow to Wendy. After hearing it, she immediately went to wash up and go to bed.
Only Perona left muttering something like 'a black-hearted boss cheating on children'. She didn't directly talk back because she had already eaten a lot of desserts today, not to mention this meal, and she was afraid that Zhang Da would also catch her for extra practice.
Ye Yan had eaten and drank enough today and had a lot of fun and fighting, so he climbed directly into the observation room without waiting. He still wanted to keep watch.
The only episode in the evening was that Jackie Chan's clothes were damaged in the battle, but he found that he had no change of clothes.
Among the companions on the boat, the person closest in height to him was... Rui Mengmeng, who was two centimeters taller than Jackie Chan. Uncle Long refused to wear women's clothes, so in the end he had to ask Tom to change Zhang Tatsuya's clothes as an emergency. , As for Ye Yan, he only has a few normal clothes.
…
Early the next morning, everyone got up and went for morning exercise together. The original plan was to jog around the town, but everyone was curious about the mountain that looked like a cactus not far away, so the morning exercise was changed to mountain climbing.
The flag demons were busy all night. Not only did they gather the agents together, they also found their belongings. Unfortunately, there weren't many. Most of them should have been handed over for the purpose of 'establishing the Utopia'.
The flag demons needed a rest after a busy night, and Ye Yan wanted to sleep a little longer after returning to his cage, so Shark Pepper decided to stay and guard the ship, so that if the navy arrived early, there would be someone to negotiate with them.
Others jogged as usual, to the bottom of the hill and then started climbing. After climbing halfway up the mountain, everyone saw clearly the true face of those 'cactus thorns', which were densely packed tombstones.
Zhang Da also knew about these tombstones for a long time, so he was not surprised. Perona didn't react at all. After all, she grew up among zombies.
Tom was trembling with fear, holding Zhang Daye's neck and hanging it on his chest. He was most afraid of things like gods and ghosts, and he disliked the atmosphere of the cemetery.
"So this is a cemetery?" Wendy whispered, "Shouldn't we come over and disturb it?"
"I'm afraid it's not an ordinary cemetery." I don't know if it was out of the instinct of an archaeologist, but Jackie Chan walked to a tombstone with a serious expression, squatted down and picked up a little soil:
"Judging from the soil here, this tombstone was just buried not long ago, and everywhere you look from here, the situation looks similar. In other words, these hundreds, or even more tombstones in the distance are all here. They were buried at about the same time. What happened that caused so many tombstones to be buried in a short period of time?"
Xia Lulu thought of something terrible: "The uncle who guarded the lighthouse said that this place was occupied by criminal gangs not long ago. And this place is obviously a town, but we haven't seen an ordinary person until now."
Arturia said: "Except for those who attacked us last night, I didn't detect anyone else."
Rui Mengmeng and Wendy's faces turned pale: "In other words, all the residents of the town..."
Everyone looked at the tombstones all over the mountains and plains, and the answer was ready to come out. After the agents of the Baroque Working Company arrived here, the residents of the small town at the foot of the mountain, as well as ordinary people in several nearby towns, were probably buried in these mountains.
Wendy covered her mouth, feeling unbelievable: "How could this happen..."
Rui Mengmeng bit her lip: "It's too much, it's too much..."
Artoria's expression was serious. Just because she was used to seeing life and death didn't mean that she could ignore life and wantonly kill innocent civilians like this...
Jackie Chan said with a cold face: "Captain, they said yesterday that Baroque Works has another boss, right?"
Zhang Daye looked a little ugly. When he first read the comic, he took it for granted that the tombstones all over the mountains and plains were all pirates intercepted by the Baroque Works. He didn't even notice that there were no civilians.
In the past, even if I heard that a certain town was destroyed, even if I saw in the newspaper that a certain village was destroyed and the casualties, it was still a string of cold words, far less shocking than the forest of tombstones in front of me.
A town that had just been destroyed was placed in front of him. It was unknown who the bare tombstones on the mountain were for, and it was unknown whose bones were buried in the turned soil on the ground. It was unknown how many people died fighting to protect the town. There are many heroes, and there are countless old, young, women and children buried there.
Zhang Daye, whose mind was blank, moved his lips when Jackie Chan asked about the boss of Baroque Works:
"****'s Crocodile!"
