The ups and downs in life are so fast and exciting. The chefs at the G-2 branch fortress thought that their coffee was finally accepted, but instead they waited for orders to improve their coffee techniques or recipes.
I originally planned to risk my life to entertain Tom and Artoria, but during lunch I almost risked my life.
This is probably what the so-called extreme joy brings about sorrow.

The gate on the front of the fortress slowly opened, revealing the waterway inside. The warships of the training camp and the G-2 branch sailed out in a row.
Gumil meant what he said about getting busy next. He even had to lead people to take charge of part of the patrol missions, and he was often responsible for the most dangerous sea areas.
Zhang Daye and the others took the Amber and followed the warship in the training camp as usual. Weiwei, Perona and Xia Lulu were invited to the warship to watch the sailing process of the sailors out of curiosity.
Jackie Chan and Shark Pepper went to take care of it, and they happened to be curious about how this large sailboat was maneuvered.
Wendy obediently stayed in the observation room to observe the weather. It wasn't that she didn't want to go with her little sisters, but it was mainly because she couldn't bear the seasickness. If she wanted to go, she could only let Xia Lulu take her to keep flying, or let Zhang Daye help her. Add Troia.
But Troia is a magic that can easily make the body develop resistance, so if it is not a necessary battle or an important group activity, Wendy does not want to accept it easily.
Wendy stood in the observation room, occasionally looking enviously at Weiwei and the others who were running around on the deck of the warship. Fortunately, Rui Mengmeng accompanied her, and the two of them did physical exercises that did not require much space together. I can also play chess and cards.
Ye Yan had already gone back to his room to take a nap. He was still sleeping in the middle of the night. It would be very uncomfortable if he didn't take a nap. After all, Zhang Da didn't go to help him sleep every day.
Before going to bed, Ye Yan threw the flag demons out to act as sailors. The flag demons were already very proficient in this task on the ship. As long as there was no disastrous weather, Zhang Daye and the others basically didn't have to worry about it.
"A pirate ship has been spotted right ahead, everyone is on alert!" The lookout on the warship sounded the alarm before Rui Mengmeng and Wendy found their target.
Mainly because the warship was too tall and blocked the view directly in front of the Amber. Zhang Da also decided to keep a farther distance from the warship next time. He felt that he would be easily cheated if he followed too closely.
Zefa gave the order and the warship sailed in the direction of the pirate ship at full speed.
Shark Chili on the warship recognized the identity of this group of pirates: "They are the Dadao Pirates, captained by Dadao Mikazuki, with a bounty of 20 million Baileys."
He felt that this pirate group did not pose much of a threat, so he simply stayed on the warship to watch the battle without taking everyone back.
Arturia took over the helmsman's position on the Amber and drove the Amber around a corner, intending to double-team from the other direction to prevent the pirates from escaping.
The flag demons shouted 666 while adjusting the sails according to the instructions.
It didn't take long for the pirates to discover the warship. Captain Mikazuki Okabuto ordered the lookout to count the number of gun ports on the warship, and then immediately ordered his men to escape at full speed - a large warship equipped with such firepower is not easy to mess with at first glance, idiot. Only then will he fight with them as soon as he comes up, so that he can grab more money while alive.
Pirate ships like theirs, which focus on speed, may be able to get rid of warships if everything goes well. But this situation of everything going smoothly does not include the presence of the Amber Tour Group.
With Artoria's addition, the Amber drew an arc on the sea and stopped in front of the pirate ship.
The pirates may have initially thought that the Amber was a small, high-speed warship specially designed for pursuit, and were ready to kill them, and even fired a few tentative shots.
But when they saw the flags on the bow and the top of the mast clearly, the bombardment stopped, and the pirate ship turned around and rushed towards the large warship.
"Damn it, these lackeys really got together with the navy!" Dadou Mikayue estimated the speed and found that his ship seemed to be no match at all. I recalled the rumors that there seemed to be pirates on the sea who were targeted by the Kohaku Tour Group and would never escape, and my hands and feet felt cold.
Despite this, surrender is impossible. If you don't fight hard, who would be willing to go to jail.
You have to pick the softer persimmons. Dadou Mikazuki thinks that the warship is softer than the Amber Tour Group.
"Instead of confronting the Amber Tour Group directly, it is better to seize the warship and use the navy's cannons to deal with them!" Dadou Mikazuki cursed and ordered his men to prepare for their lives. Seizing the warship was the only hope of escape he could see.
The sailors soon realized that they might have been underestimated and urged the helmsman and gunner to give them a little show.
Soon the pirate ship entered the bombardment range, and the cannons on the warship opened fire.
The level of gunners in the training camp was very high. After one round of test firing, the hit rate in the second round was significantly improved, and the ships of the Dadou Pirates were hit frequently.
Zhang Da also thought that if they dared to rush to the warship so decisively, they must have two brushes. Unexpectedly, the Dadu pirate group was so weak that they were bombarded and sank the pirate ship before they could get close to the warship.
This is the normal state of naval battles. There are only a few pirates who have the ability to withstand the bombardment of large-scale warships and have the opportunity to engage in boarding battles. Luck and strength are both indispensable. The Dadou Pirates are obviously not among them. Most of the pirates The thieves are all the same.
The only thing left was for the sailors to salvage the pirates who fell into the water one by one - salvage means to fish them out after they are finished. Some pirates were not very honest after falling into the water, so the students had to take some measures to calm them down.
"I met pirates just after I came out. It seems that Lieutenant General Gumir's words are true."
"But these guys are pretty easy to deal with."
"What a shame, I was still planning to show off my skills."
The sailors were talking a lot, but Ai Yin poured cold water on them and said, "Don't be complacent. If the Amber Tour Group hadn't been here today, it would have been very difficult for us to catch up with them!"
Having been in the same dormitory for so long, Ain had already regarded Artoria as her idol, so she immediately realized whose credit it was for the battle to go so smoothly.
The sailors all looked ashamed, thinking that the main reason why the battle went so smoothly was because the Amber Tour Group blocked the pirates back. If every pursuit of pirate ships can go so smoothly, then the number of pirates on the sea will be reduced by at least half.
Of course, some students are unconvinced and feel that even if there is no Amber Tour Group, as long as they keep chasing, they will eventually catch up, but it will just take a little longer.
However, these people did not speak to refute, because since the Amber Tour Group entered the camp, they have been beaten by all aspects. Now they really have no shame to say such things, but they are determined to find opportunities to prove themselves in the future.
After briefly cleaning the battlefield, the two ships continued to patrol along the original route. During this period, they passed by the Kingdom of Lulucia and captured a pirate group near its coastline. Judging from the way they panicked when faced with the attack, they were probably newly formed. of.
Sure enough, under interrogation by the sailors, they learned that these guys scraped together enough money to buy a second-hand ship after robbing two villages, and then set out with great ambitions. Unexpectedly, it would be hell as soon as they set out.
Zefa asked: "Which villages were robbed by you?"
"Come ashore from there, five kilometers to the north, there are two villages, one is..." The pirate captain quickly explained the situation of the village and how much money he had robbed and embezzled, and repeatedly He emphasized that he only robbed money and did not kill anyone.
When he learned that Zefa was a former admiral, he was almost scared to death. I was just a newbie pirate who had just committed two crimes. How could He De allow the admiral to personally bring people to block me at the door? And I'm still with the recently famous Amber Tour Group... Do I have the potential to become a Yonko?
God is jealous of talents.
Zefa calculated the gains from defeating the two pirate groups and said: "Ain, Binz, you bring the members of your two teams and use the property seized from these two times to compensate those two villages. Villagers, remember to change into casual clothes and try your best to investigate the losses of each family."
Strictly speaking, if the navy wants to enter the territory of the participating countries, it needs the consent of the king. Unless it sees pirates looting, it must be urgent. That condition is obviously not met now, and the easiest way is to leave it to the officials of this country to handle it themselves.
But Zefa couldn't worry about the villagers, and had limited trust in the officials here. It was safer to leave it to his students to do it quietly.
"Yes!" Ayin and Binz saluted and left with the people. This was a bit against the rules, but it was in line with the justice in their hearts.
"Sorry, I will find another way to compensate you." Zefa said to Jackie Chan and Shark Pepper.
Shark Chili said: "It doesn't matter, Boss Tatsuya will understand."
In the next few days, everyone spent most of their time on patrol. There were indeed many pirates nearby, but no one could escape once they encountered them.
Those with a slow speed will be overtaken by warships and bombarded along the way, while those with a fast speed will not be able to outpace the Amber and will always be overtaken and beaten up.
Jackie Chan, Ye Yan, Wei Wei, Perona and Xia Lulu have had a lot of opportunities to fight in the past few days, and they try their best to rely on physical skills in battle, integrating the moves they learned in the training camp bit by bit, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. .
The others basically watched from the side, just dealing with those who fired cold shots. They didn't need to take action in a battle of this level. If you must help, helping Tom catch big fish or catching sea monsters would be considered a contribution. In his spare time, he could occasionally hold banquets with the sailors.
Gumir has been extremely busy these days. He has to adjust patrol routes based on new information, personally participate in missions, and allocate manpower to escort pirates to the prison. He is so busy that he almost wants to send chefs and handymen to the battlefield. Degree.
Even so, there will still be some pirate groups who are lucky enough to pass through the G-2 branch's jurisdiction, or who are smarter and bypass it directly.
It was also because they were too active in the past few days, and the news that the Kohaku Tour Group was operating with the navy also spread, and it seemed that the identity of the lackey in the eyes of the pirates had been confirmed.
Zhang Da was also a little angry, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't overthrow the navy headquarters just to prove that he was not a lackey. Besides, what he did was just to get in trouble with the pirates, so he didn't need to have a good reputation among the pirates.
Since then, due to the shortage of manpower, Zhang Da also participated in several battles. All the pirates caught by him were particularly seriously injured.
…
Lulucia Kingdom, Port Town.
This is one of the largest ports in Lulucia. The town is mostly filled with red-roofed tile-roofed houses. In the center of the town stands a castle with a round spire, which looks very Roman-style. A meandering river passes through the town, flows through a small village outside the town, and then merges into the sea.
Some people are holding brooms to clean the dust at the door of their homes, some are sitting under parasols in front of restaurants reading newspapers, chatting and laughing, and some have just returned from offshore fishing and are about to take their harvest to the town to ask for the price.
Life in the entire town is calm and leisurely. The residents may not be very wealthy, but at least they all look pretty good.
Until a pirate ship sailed to the shore.
"It's a pirate, go and report it to the king's army!"
"That symbol...is the flag of the Five Peaks Pirates!"
"It's a lie, right? Wasn't the previous Four Emperors defeated? It must be a fake!"
"Maybe someone is deliberately trying to scare us under his banner!"
That being said, the citizens who recognized the pirate flag could not help but tremble in their legs. They realized that it might be the remnants of the Five Peaks Pirates.
That is the Yonko Pirates. Even if they have been defeated by the new Yonko, they are still very terrifying. It is already difficult for ordinary pirates to deal with them, let alone the former Yonko Pirates?
The pirate ship was getting closer and closer, and when the residents were dragging their trembling legs and trying to escape, the sound of shelling started.
Boom, a big hole exploded in the middle of the street. Pedestrians on the road held their heads and screamed and ran away. Parasols, tables and chairs on the roadside were knocked down by people who fled in panic. The fishermen dropped all their harvests and headed towards home. Run wildly.
Boom, a house collapsed near the dock. A couple crawled out of the ruins in embarrassment. The husband was teetering on the ground with blood on his forehead. The wife was kneeling on the ground, digging into the ruins like crazy. The husband heard the crying in the ruins, and red He joined the excavation with his eyes open.
boom……
The quiet town was thrown into chaos by the sound of artillery.
The pirates finally landed. One of the guards at the dock was kicked down, another was knocked unconscious by the butt of a gun, and the one who wanted to draw his gun was slashed in the chest with a knife, bleeding profusely.
"Listen to me, I am a member of the Five Peaks Pirates. If you don't want to die, please hand over all your valuables!"
The leading man stepped on the fallen guard and shouted. The guard's blood dyed the soles of his shoes red, and the blood from the knife edge dripped on his clothes, making him look very ferocious.
The other pirates skillfully divided into two teams. One team guarded the town's traffic arteries and surrounded the town, while the other team neatly defeated the residents who wanted to resist and escorted those who did not dare to resist. Money was plundered from their homes.
At the same time, the King's Army was rushing here after receiving the report.
