"Please, let us go! This is the 'heavenly gold' that is to be handed over to the king and the world's nobles!" A woman fell to the ground, holding the pirate's ankle and crying, "If you can't hand over these, you will be sentenced to death." Death penalty!"
"Who cares about you? It's the king's fault for being sentenced to death, right? Get out of here!" The pirate kicked her away mercilessly.
"Please! We already live very frugally. Without this money, we really won't be able to make up enough!"
"Listen carefully, if you pay, you can think of something later. If you don't pay, I can kill you now!"
Similar conversations were heard in every corner of the town, but the pirates would not sympathize with these people. They didn't go on a killing spree when they first came ashore because it was too troublesome to find money after killing everyone, and killing people was a waste of time. It was more convenient to let them obediently send the money. I heard that this place is very close to a certain branch of the Navy, and it will be very troublesome if the Navy gets involved. They plan to leave before the Navy comes.
Although the residents were reluctant, they could only do as the pirates said. Some impatient pirates would kill people if you said even one more word. The guards and houses at the dock were destroyed by cannons. That family was a warning to them.
For a time, the town was filled with mourning, and there were shouts, curses, begging and crying everywhere.
"That's it, pirates!" The captain of the king's army was wearing a silver knight's light armor and holding a spear. He looked very heroic. He shouted, "I am Lancel, the captain of the king's army. By the order of the king, Drive away the pirates and capture them without mercy!"
The soldiers behind Lancel shouted: "Let's capture him without mercy!"
boom! One of the pirates fired a shot at Lancel and mocked: "Idiot, there are no pirates who will stop when you say stop."
Ding! Lancel used the tip of his gun to pick away the bullets and put a handsome gun flower on his arm: "In that case, everyone obeys the order and follow me!"
"Oh!" Thousands of soldiers followed Lancel's footsteps and rushed towards the rebellious pirates.
The pirates who stood relatively scattered for the purpose of robbery suffered a heavy loss. Many of them were defeated by the soldiers relying on their numerical advantage. Lancel's excellent marksmanship made the pirates suffer even more.
But these more than 100 people were pirates from the New World. Their strength and combat experience were beyond that of ordinary soldiers. They quickly gathered into small teams and began to fight back, causing the soldiers to retreat steadily.
Only Lancel was different. He swung a spear like a long snake, sometimes reaching out and retracting it deftly like lightning, and sometimes sweeping across with great force. Faced with the siege of five pirates, he not only did not fall behind, but also recovered. You can always find the right opportunity to stab someone.
"Damn it, there is such a powerful person in such a small place!" As his companions fell one by one, a pirate finally couldn't help it anymore and shouted loudly, "Captain! This guy is too strong!"
Lancel was shocked. These pirates in front of him were already difficult to deal with. Has the captain not taken action yet? And aren’t these people the remnants of the Five Peaks Pirates? Wang Zhi has disappeared. Who is the captain they are talking about?
He looked at the pirate ship docked at the dock. A figure appeared on the bow of the ship. His face was covered by a hood, and his figure was covered by a robe. The only thing he could see clearly was a strange long weapon.
"Really, in a small country in Paradise, you can't even do this little thing well?" The man called the captain jumped off the ship, the weapon in his hand smashed a few cracks on the ground, and then walked step by step Lancel.
"That weapon..." One end is a crescent-shaped blade, and the other end is an axe-shaped shovel handle. Lancel remembered that he had seen that kind of weapon somewhere. He shot the pirate who just shouted, and was ready for this. The opponent may not be that easy to deal with.
"Can you please... stay out of the way?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, his figure had disappeared on the spot. Lancel subconsciously raised his gun to block, but the iron gun shaft was instantly cut into two pieces.
The crescent shovel stabbed Lancel in the chest and pushed him away.
Lancel rolled a few times on the ground. His silver breastplate was broken, and his blood was stained with dust. "You, you are..."
He saw clearly the opponent's face under the hood in the electric light and flint. Combined with the iconic crescent shovel, Lancel determined the opponent's identity - Mingshan monk, 'Living Buddha' Xu Hai!
I thought it was just a bluff by the defeated troops under the banner of the Five Peaks Pirates, but I didn't expect that such a big shot would be in charge. My luck was really as bad as ever.
Lancel shook his head with a wry smile, and struggled to get up using the gun shaft that was broken into two parts.
"team leader!"
"Captain, how are you?"
The nearby soldiers gathered around and looked at Lancel worriedly. They had never seen the captain so seriously injured.
Lancel stared at Xu Hai closely: "Don't worry about me, the king must have ordered someone to contact the navy as before. No matter what, he must hold on until the navy's support arrives!"
'It doesn't matter whether it is a big pirate group or a small pirate group, even if there is only one pirate, the navy must be notified first. If you don't go to the navy when something happens, wouldn't all the gold from the sky be paid in vain every year? '
When he heard the king say this before, Lancel thought the king's behavior was stingy and making a fuss out of a molehill. But as a soldier, Lancel couldn't speak ill of the king.
But this time, he really had to be lucky that the king was a person who didn't want to suffer losses. He hoped that the navy could arrive in time this time.
…
In the waters near the Kingdom of Lulucia, two pirate ships were fleeing, and the Amber was slowly pursuing them behind the warships.
The pirates didn't get far before they realized they were in a bad situation, so they decided to split up the two ships.
The Amber and the warship also acted separately in tacit agreement.
"Why do I feel like there are so many pirates again? I haven't sat down and had a snack all day." Zhang Da also picked up an egg tart, broke it in half and put it to Artoria's mouth, who was at the helm. Although he sounded like he was complaining, he was actually not unhappy at all.
Since Artoria always had to stick to her post and could not participate in the afternoon tea or anything else, Zhang Da also decisively took over the task of feeding, so that she could not only be at the helm but also live up to the delicious food.
"It has indeed increased, and I feel like there was something wrong with the pirates I met last time." Arturia took some time out of her busy schedule to talk to Zhang Daye, "They seem to be coming for us."
"Really?" Zhang Da also didn't have much doubt about Artoria's judgment, but the pirates were currently imprisoned on the warship, and they hadn't had time to interrogate him yet, so they couldn't be sure for the time being. Let's go ask Zefa after these two ships are dealt with, Zhang Da also thought so.
But before he could contact Zefa, Zefa called him.
Zhang Da also answered the phone and asked, "What happened?"
Zefa did not say any more words and said directly: "I just received a request for help from the Kingdom of Lucia. It is said that the remnants of the Five Peaks Pirates attacked the port town of Lucia. The situation is very critical. We are the closest force there. We must Rush over immediately to provide support.”
"The Five Peaks Pirates?" They actually came back to the paradise. Zhang Da also said, "Okay, what about these two pirate ships?"
"Can I leave it to you first?" Now is not the time to be polite. Zefa said bluntly: "We don't have time to waste time with them. After receiving a request for help from the king of the joining country, nearby warships must arrive as soon as possible."
Zhang Da also put the remaining half of the egg tart into Artoria's mouth, and then jumped on the top of the mast. The weather was not very good today, and his field of vision was somewhat limited: "This ship here is fine, but the ship you are chasing We can’t see that now.”
"I'm launching a flare now. Just try your best to find it." After Zefa finished speaking, a red flare took off, and then the warship turned around and headed towards Lulucia.
"Okay, I saw it, leave it to us." Zhang Da also said, "We will rush over as soon as possible after solving the problem."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Da also shouted down: "Perona, did you see that flare? Activate the ghost navigation!"
"Don't give some weird names!" Perona protested, and obediently released a few ghosts to fly in the direction of the signal flare.
Perona was very skilled at following the signal flares to find people.
"Is everything going to be okay with Mr. Zefa?" Jackie Chan said, "Isn't it said that the Five Peaks Pirates are the Yonko Pirates? Even if they are remnants, there may be some powerful characters, but Mr. Zefa leads all students. ...By the way, how much do you know about the Five Peaks Pirates?"
"I only know that the captain's name is Wang Zhi." Zhang Da also looked at Shark Pepper. You have to ask a professional about this.
"There are indeed many powerful pirates in the Wufeng Pirates." Shark Chili said, "In addition to the captain Wang Zhi, there are also four generals and eight warriors, which are probably equivalent to the highest cadres and the next-level cadres. Each of them has It ranges from one hundred to three hundred people.”
"The Four Heroes are Xu Weixue, Ye Zongman, Xie He, and Fang Tingzhu, and the Eight Warriors are Mao Haifeng, Xu Yuanliang, Xiao Xian, Deng Wenjun, Lin Bichuan, Shen Men, He Yaba, and Xu Hai. Because their naming style is similar to that of Tatsuya The boss looks very similar to Ye Yan, so I paid more attention."
"It sounds like the structure of the Beast Pirates is similar." Zhang Da also remembered the three disasters and the flying six cells under Kaido's teacher, but Foz Fu was killed by him before he became the flying six cells. I don’t know if Teacher Kai can still come up with it.
"To be precise, it should be more like the Whitebeard Pirates, but there is no superior-subordinate relationship between Whitebeard's captains." Shark Pepper continued, "Now the Navy has confirmed that three of the four generals were killed in battle, and one was killed by the Navy. During the pursuit, he was seriously injured and fell into the sea and died. Four of the Eight Warriors were killed in the battle and two were arrested. Only Mao Haifeng and Xu Hai are missing."
"There are only two of the Eight Warriors left... Zefa will be fine even if we encounter them all, right?" Zhang Da also automatically classified the Eight Warriors to the level of Fei Liubao. With Zefa's current physical condition, he should be able to compete with them. Not a big problem.
"This is not certain." Shark Pepper said, "Mao Haifeng is Wang Zhi's adopted son, and Xu Hai is the nephew of the Four Heroes Xu Weixue. Oh, Xu Weixue is the one who was seriously injured and fell into the sea. So although these two people are classified among the Eight Warriors, But the level is probably completely different from the other six.”
"In that case, Mr. Zefa may still be in danger?" Jackie Chan said, "Wait a minute, this should be the latest information, right? How do you know such details?"
"Because the library and information room of the G-2 branch are also partially open to us, the administrator said that these are all things that need to be said to boost morale in the past few days, but because the soldiers and generals have been too busy and tired recently, So there was no time." Shark Pepper said, "Didn't you notice?"
Everyone looked at each other. Although they were not as busy as the navy recently, they did not have much free time. After returning to the base, they devoted themselves to various trainings almost whenever they had free time, and did not pay much attention to intelligence.
Zhang Da also felt a little ashamed. He used to attach great importance to intelligence work, insisting on reading newspapers every day, recording useful information, and even trying to memorize reward orders, but since the arrival of Shark Chili, he has become more and more dependent on him.
Although it is a good thing to trust your companions, you should also pay more attention to yourself.
Perona was tired of hearing these long talks. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she said in surprise: "We found the ship!"
"Good job, keep an eye on it. We'll chase it as soon as we get the ship!" Zhang Daye asked Shark Pepper, "Is there any other important information?"
Shark Chili thought for a while: "Then there are rough guesses about their actions. There are rumors that Xu Hai and Wang Zhi are at odds. The red hair could defeat Wang Zhi so quickly because Xu Hai betrayed him. If Mao Haifeng can't find My adoptive father, Wang Zhi, might seek revenge on Hongfa and Xu Hai."
"So Zefa and the others may have encountered Xu Hai and Mao Haifeng, but we still don't know who is whose enemy." Zhang Da also felt that this matter was a bit complicated, "Why don't you drive the Shark Giant to chase the other ship?" , we will solve it quickly and provide support quickly."
"It's indeed better this way." Shark Chili agreed, calling out Shark Giant for the first time in a long time.
Rui Mengmeng said: "Isn't it too dangerous to go alone? Can I go too?"
"Okay, remember to call if you have any questions." Zhang Da also asked, "Perona, remember to follow the ghost navigation."
"I told you not to give strange names!" Perona sent out ghosts to help Shark Pepper lead the way.
Rui Mengmeng and Shark Pepper jumped into the cockpit together.
…
"Is that the end?" Lancel was already covered in bruises and the light armor on his body was already in tatters. In addition to the previous scar, his left arm was fractured and there was also a horrific wound on his abdomen.
This person is too strong! Even if Lancel tried his best, he couldn't hurt him at all. Are all the great pirates in the new world this kind of monster?
Lancel watched desperately as Xu Hai's crescent shovel stabbed his throat. He knew that if he died, the morale of his subordinates would immediately drop, and then there would really be no hope at all.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I failed to protect your people." Although he knew that the king sent him not to protect the people, but to protect the money in the hands of the people.
But as a soldier, the moment he picked up the spear, he had already determined what he wanted to do. It doesn't matter what the king wants, as long as he protects the people while fulfilling the king's orders.
It's a pity that he can't do anything today.
"At least this way of death is worthy of breaking the spear for me, right?"
Phew~ The sound of cannonballs piercing the air made Xu Hai tilt his head back suddenly. A cannonball almost missed the tip of his nose and flew past. It landed in the open space on the street and made a crater far larger than an ordinary cannonball.
Xu Hai took back the crescent shovel and looked in the direction of the dock: "Tsk, here comes a troublesome person."
"You're so old. You can't even throw cannonballs accurately. If that guy Garp sees it, he'll be laughed at, right?" Zefa moved his wrist. He hadn't used this trick for a long time since he started leading the training camp. .
Lancel, who had saved his life, was stunned and threw the cannonball with his bare hands? Who is this admiral? And the power of this cannonball is already much stronger than that of a cannon, right?
"Teacher Zefa!" The students in the training camp were not much better. This was the first time they had seen Zefa use this trick.
In the past, I only heard that Lieutenant General Garp liked to throw cannonballs with his bare hands. Does Teacher Zefa do the same?
Could it be that Marshal of the Warring States Period could also do it? Is this a common hobby among the admirals of your previous generation?
I have grown longer
