Chapter 164: A Thousand Miles of Sunshine (I)
When the Straw Hats boarded the new ship and were about to leave, Vice Admiral Karp immediately ordered his warship to leave the coast to prepare to encircle and suppress the Straw Hats. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"See, it's really Vice Admiral Karp's ship!" Usopp shouted in a panic. Vice Admiral Karp's ship is so recognizable, with a distinctive bow that distinguishes this ship from other naval warships at a glance. In particular, the iconic dog head with a bone in its mouth, as if looking for prey, terrified all pirates.
"Has everyone arrived?" the thought of being punched by Lieutenant General Karp a few days ago made William still feel palpitations. After boarding the ship, William asked everyone to take their seats, and hurriedly reminded: "Hey, hurry up and set sail, I have a bad premonition!"
Without William's reminder, everyone already had a tacit understanding to start acting: Nicole Robin stood on the lookout to observe, Zoro and Sanji hurriedly put away the anchor, Chopper and Usopp controlled the rudder, Vivi and others hurriedly directed the mainsail, and only Luffy stood at the stern and looked at Vice Admiral Karp's warship.
"Hey, Luffy, do you hear me? I'm your grandfather!" Seeing Luffy's pirate ship set sail and prepare to leave, Vice Admiral Karp shouted with a megaphone. Worthy of Vice Admiral Karp, he actually admitted that his grandson was a pirate under the gaze of all the citizens of the Seven Waters Capital, of course, Vice Admiral Karp has absolute strength and prestige to ensure that his position in the navy will not be shaken.
"Grandpa, didn't you say you won't arrest us here anymore?" Although Luffy didn't have a megaphone, he complained loudly as well, regardless of whether Lieutenant General Karp could hear him shouting.
General Lu Fei expressed his displeasure with Lieutenant General Karp's untrustworthy actions. But this can't all be blamed on Vice Admiral Karp, who let this old man go back to the Navy Headquarters and say "Luffy is my grandson" in front of his old friend Marshal Sengoku. Speak so tactfully and facelessly, can you not be scolded and accused by the marshal of the Warring States?
Originally, the Sengoku Marshal agreed that Karp would take the initiative to ask Ying to capture Luffy, and he had already predicted that this mission would fail. As for the marshal of the Warring States, he only needs to explain something to the above, and it doesn't matter who is sent to carry out the mission. But after Karp went back, he did not shy away from admitting that the pirate leader who made trouble on Justice Island was his own grandson, and this was not to embarrass the marshal of the Warring States!
"Oops, something little happened, so I'm sorry, you're still feeding the fish here!" Although Lieutenant General Karp said sorry, his attitude did not mean the slightest apology. And in the end, he actually threatened Luffy, and of course Vice Admiral Karp really has the ability to sink the new ship of the Straw Hats here!
"Hey!" Hearing Lieutenant General Karp's naked threat, the faces of all the Straw Hats turned white with fright. I thought that this old man dared to do something to his own grandson, and they outsiders would be even better off there!
"Besides, Boy William must go back with me, too!" Lieutenant General Karp's words almost made William's eyes spit out in fright.
In fact, Lieutenant General Karp originally looked at Luffy's face and planned to let William go for the time being, but when he had no choice but to go back, Sengoku repeatedly explained that he must capture William alive, saying that it was required from above.
"How did this kid provoke Lieutenant General Karp?" Carter French didn't know much about William because he was a newcomer. I only know that he will have the same moves as CP9, and he was almost killed by Lieutenant General Karp a few days ago, so the specific reason is unknown.
The new ship that set sail gradually moved away from the coast, and no one, including Luffy, the captain, wanted to fight with Lieutenant General Karp, a terrifying old man, especially William.
"Let the old man be your opponent alone this time!Bring me cannonballs!" Although Lieutenant General Karp said that he was going to kill Luffy and them here, after all, the opponent was his own grandson. Due to his identity, Lieutenant General Karp had no choice but to say that he wanted to kill the Straw Hats by himself, and the others would naturally not be able to interfere!
Besides, there is a young admiral on this warship who thinks that his position is one level higher than that of Vice Admiral Karp, and even this admiral has no opinion on Vice Admiral Karp's behavior, and the others can only obey!
"Oh no, get out of the way!" William, who was standing on the boat, saw the cannonball in Karp's hand and was about to throw it, and he was frightened and reminded Chopper that they controlled the rudder to avoid it.
Rumble!
After the shell swept through the side of the new ship, it produced a violent explosion in the distant sea. If their new ship is hit by this cannonball just now, it will be absolutely crushed!
"Empty ······ Throwing cannonballs with bare hands?" The frightened Sanji opened his mouth in shock, completely forgetting that the cigarette in his mouth had fallen to the ground. Others, including William, were equally stunned.
"Don't be in a daze there!" Seeing that Vice Admiral Karp had already thrown the second cannonball over, William hurriedly kicked the cannonball away, otherwise they would have a shipwreck. He knew that the damned Draconians had put pressure on the Navy again, but who had brought up the matter about him in front of the Draconians? He didn't believe that the Draconians would continue to pay attention to him to this day, otherwise he would have faced a great enemy when he was first wanted.
And the Frankie family and the others, who were standing on the shore of the Seven Waters Capital and watching, were sweating for the Straw Hats, which was too dangerous just now. Although they didn't know why Lieutenant General Karp suddenly turned back to capture Luffy and them, this time they were obviously serious!
"This is the strength of the commander-in-chief's father?" Kella was speechless in shock. She only learned from Lieutenant General Karp that the full name of the commander-in-chief of the revolutionary army was Monchi. D. Dorag, and Luffy's father.
She knew why the Commander-in-Chief was in Rogue when she was in the East China Sea. And not only did she not let William return to the revolutionary army, but let her stay in the Straw Hats, it turned out that she wanted her to indirectly protect Luffy! At this time, she felt that William should have known Luffy's identity a long time ago, and Kerra glanced at William with some resentment.
However, Kerra really wronged William, although William had long known Luffy's identity, but he had a relationship with Monchi. D. Dorag has no connection.
"That's Lieutenant General Karp's 'Fist, Bone, Meteorite', it's more powerful than a cannon, if it is hit, it will be over!" Seeing that everyone was speechless in shock, William reluctantly calmed down and shouted. Judging by the trajectory of the shell thrown by Lieutenant General Karp just now, Lieutenant General Karp should have been just a warning.
Lieutenant General Karp is so careful about his own grandson's team? As long as a single shell is not stopped, the entire Straw Hats will be turned into cannon fodder.
"Oops, he's got a lot of shells ready!" Nicole Robin, standing on the lookout, noticed that the naval soldiers on the warship were carrying a large number of shells and handed them to Vice Admiral Karp, apparently this time Vice Admiral Karp was serious.
"It's a death this time!" Usopp, who was less courageous, had already been frightened and his legs went limp. If only one of the powerful shells of the same one landed on the new ship, they would all be finished.
"I seem to see Admiral Childish up there!" When Vivi looked at the enemy ship with a telescope, she found that Vice Admiral Karp's warship was actually sitting on a person who was very similar to Admiral Childish. They had all seen the appearance of the young general when they were on Long Island before, so they could naturally recognize it. And the person who can lie down on Vice Admiral Karp's warship will certainly not be inferior to Vice Admiral Karp!
"What are you kidding!" Hearing that Vice Admiral Karp's ship actually had an admiral on the ship, and that it was also the same as the young man who had attacked them before, Arlita and Bora were surprised and asked, "A naval legend and an admiral were dispatched at the same time?"
"Don't worry about this!" William knew that what Wei Wei said was the truth, but the first job now was not to fight but to escape, William hurriedly reminded: "Full speed ahead, run away!"
"Looks like it's time to leave with a secret weapon!" Although Carter French didn't know about the affair between the Straw Hats and the young general, he also knew that all he had to do now was to escape. Carter French, who had been leisurely controlling the rudder, suddenly commanded and said, "Hurry up and put the sails away first! Let you see the power of this dream ship!"
"Then don't hurry up and use it!" Nami urged unceremoniously. Although it wasn't Nami, the navigator, who was in command, Nochigo quickly put the sails away.
Although Carter French is a newcomer, they have no doubts about Carter French's words, and besides, this ship was built by him, and only Carter French knows what secret weapon can escape.
Boom! Boom!
"Let's stop these shells!" William and Zoro hurriedly slice the cannonball thrown by Vice Admiral Karp to prevent the new ship from being hit by the cannonballs, they didn't want the new ship to become a wrecked ship just after it set sail. However, in the face of Vice Admiral Karp's empty-handed cannonballs, I'm afraid I don't even have the qualifications to be a scrap ship!
Luffy even used his rubber ability to bounce the cannonballs, and Sanji, Yarrita, and the others were also ready to defend the ship. Hold on no matter what, until Carter French uses a secret weapon.
"Wait, we haven't named this ship yet!" But just as Carter French was about to activate the secret weapon, he suddenly said, "A ship without a name will sail without momentum!"
"There's no time to think about it now!" the men who were struggling to stop the shells were also powerless, but their captain agreed with Carter French's suggestion to give the new ship a name now.
