Kuzan, who quickly went to the driver's cab, hurriedly looked at the chart and looked up the location of "Donwu Island" on the phone.
In the new world, everyone navigates according to the record pointer or the life card to guide the direction. The role of the chart is not much at all, but the warships are still equipped with charts, mainly for the convenience of letting the navy know their general situation. location.
Their warship has only been in the new world for a week. In addition, Kuzan's "car" is relatively broken and not very powerful. Therefore, in the new world with strange sea currents, it cannot travel very fast, and it will not take more than a week. How many sea miles have been traveled.
The mission Kuzan received was to arrive at Shuixian Island before June and be on standby. Normally, under the guidance of a permanent record pointer, their warship would be able to reach the mission location in three months of sailing.
The extra time is actually mainly time reserved for the sailors to "resolve" difficulties.
The new world is full of crises, not only the crises caused by the climate and ocean currents, but also the crises caused by the pirates who roam the sea.
Most warships entering the new world act collectively, and only a few powerful naval officers are assigned to act alone. This is to prevent the world from judging how much combat power the navy has invested in the new world.
Distracted by the distress call, Kuzan's first priority at the moment was no longer to rush, but to go to Dongwu Island to investigate the situation.
However, Kuzan suppressed his anger and searched for a round on the chart, but could not find the location mark of Dongwu Island, and the fire in his chest couldn't help but grow stronger.
"No? How could there be no?"
Kuzan looked at the chart and couldn't find the so-called Dongwu Island. He slapped the table with some annoyance.
The young Kuzan was full of emotions and could not control his emotions at all. The other sailors in the cab did not dare to express their anger when they saw the usually amiable Commodore's appearance.
When Kuzan was checking the chart, Jiguo Enichi was also looking at the chart beside him, also searching for the location of Dongwu Island. Jiguoyuan had a photographic memory, and he had already finished checking the sea chart with Kuzan. He had already finished reading the picture before, and frowned, apparently realizing that Dongwu Island was a small island that had not been discovered by the navy.
but
So the question arises. Since it is an island that the navy has never discovered, why can the name of Dongwu Island appear clearly on the other end of the phone? Is it because the sailors on the island discovered something?
"Kuzan, I feel something is wrong."
As soon as Ji Guoyuan finished speaking, the door of the cab was pushed open. A young sailor hurriedly entered the cab. After seeing Kuzan, he saluted Kuzan and reported loudly:
"Commodore Kuzan, we found a person in distress at sea, do you want to rescue him?"
The sailor who entered the cab reported loudly, and his words instantly attracted Kuzan's attention.
"The castaway? Is he the pirate we just threw down?"
Kuzan asked with some confusion, but the sailor who reported the incident shook his head and replied: "No, Commodore Kuzan, the victim is a girl. It cannot be the pirate we threw down."
"And we are already some distance away from the battlefield where we are fighting the pirates. The warship has been sailing for several minutes, and the victims are in front of our course."
Kuzan nodded slightly when he heard this, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. But when he heard that the victim was a girl, Kuzan didn't think much about it and immediately said: "Since it's not a pirate, what are you waiting for? Hurry up. Why are you taking so long to rescue the person in trouble?!"
As Kuzan said, he seemed a little worried about his subordinates doing things, so he walked out of the cab and walked towards the deck.
Ji Guoyuan glanced at Kuzan who was leaving, put his hands on the table, continued to scan the sea chart, and said to himself:
"Is there a damsel in distress in the new world?"
"Those terrifying currents are too easy to talk about, right?"
While speaking, Jiguo Yuanyi lightly knocked on the table. The sailors in the cab also heard Jiguo Yuanyi's words. A sergeant with a more active mind poured a glass of water for Yuanyi and placed it next to Yuanyi's hand. He asked cautiously:
"Colonel Tsukoku Enichi, are you saying there is something wrong with the damsel in distress?"
When Ji Kuniyuan heard the words, he shook his head slightly and did not take his words too seriously. After all, there are indeed children of destiny in this world. Landlubbers like Luffy can survive even if they seal themselves in a bucket. It is not ruled out that there are also Isn't he such a "child of luck"?
"It's hard to tell. Go to the deck to see what's going on and tell me everything when you come back."
"Don't say much, just watch and listen."
"Kuzan is not a fool, he knows what's going on."
After saying that, the sergeant saluted and hurriedly walked out of the cab.
On the deck at this time, more than a dozen sailors formed a circle, looking down at a girl lying on the deck.
The girl's wet long hair was hanging on the deck. Her eyes were closed tightly on her delicate face, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her face was full of exhaustion and uneasiness. The girl's skin is fair and soft, like the morning mist in spring. There is a pink mole on the edge of the thin lips, and when it opens and closes, a faint breath comes out.
The gauze skirt on the girl's body had been soaked by the sea water at this time, and it stuck tightly to her body, outlining her graceful figure. When the sea breeze blew, the girl's body trembled slightly, and she curled up subconsciously.
"Quick, call the ship's doctor!"
"Prepare some hot soup and food!"
When Kuzan saw the girl being salvaged, his heart tightened. He quickly took off the cloak he was wearing and wrapped it around the girl. Then he picked up the girl and walked into the cabin while shouting.
The surrounding sailors dispersed when they heard this. Those who called for the ship's doctor called for the ship's doctor, and those who went to the kitchen went to the kitchen.
Kuzan carried the girl back to his dormitory. Just as he was about to put the girl on his bed, he felt wetness on his arms, and a touch of coldness passed through the military uniform to his body.
The girl's clothes are still wet. In winter like this, not changing clothes will only accelerate the loss of temperature and kill the girl completely. The temperature in the sea water is higher than that on the boat. If you don't keep warm when you get out of the sea water, it will be more dangerous than in the sea.
"You all get out!"
Kuzan realized this and ordered to the "curious" sailors who swarmed in behind him.
After hearing the order, the sailors reluctantly left the room. Kuzan looked at the girl in his arms and murmured: "Sorry!"
Then he closed his eyes and released his Haki.
Just a few minutes later, Kuzan's door opened, and the ship's doctor hurriedly entered Kuzan's bedroom after opening the door. The sailors also rushed in. When they saw the dripping pot on the desk in Kuzan's room, After wearing the gauze skirt, everyone's eyes were focused on Kuzan.
A young and bold corporal couldn't help shouting: "Brigadier General Kuzan!!! How could you do this!!!"
"Idiot! I didn't do anything! And I didn't look at anything!"
"This is saving people!"
"I am the Commodore of the Navy Headquarters. How could a just person like me do the bad things you imagined in your head!"
Kuzan blushed and shouted, full of anger.
However, the loud voice was of no use. Except for the ship's doctor who was treating the girl at the bedside, the other young sailors looked at Kuzan with teasing eyes, which made Kuzan feel guilty.
"Hypothermia!"
"If this doesn't work, go prepare warm water and soak her in it!"
The ship's doctor said a word, and the sailors all started to move.
After ten minutes of busy work, Kuzan's door was closed again.
There was a large wooden barrel placed in the small cabin. The girl was lying in the barrel with her head tilted up. Her long black hair was hanging on the wooden barrel. The whole room was filled with dense air, and there was a faint fragrance in the air. .
Kuzan, with his back to the barrel, sat in front of his desk with his chin in his hands, thinking.
"Hey~" A soft murmur made Kuzan straighten up instantly and turned his head. The girl's bright eyes were looking at Kuzan. After a while, the girl's thin lips slightly opened and she asked:
"Where is this?!"
