"One team and two teams search to the north, and three teams and four teams ...... south" The navy with the rank of Osa's rank skillfully commanded his troops to conduct a carpet search of the entire island, but the expression on his face was much more grim than usual.

An enemy that even a lieutenant general can't defeat, even if they find it, then what?

A trace of helplessness flashed in his heart, Dazuo glanced at his soldiers worriedly, and added: "Act carefully after discovering it, don't expose it, try not to have a head-on conflict with the other party, just report the other party's location to the headquarters, understand?!"

"Yes! Yes!" the navies in the squadron replied and saluted in unison, and then dispersed.

Sighing, Dazuo's gaze fell back to Kuzan, who was sitting cross-legged to the side.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General......"

As if knowing what he was going to say, Kuzan, with his eyes closed, waved his hand.

As the youngest vice admiral in the navy, the main reason why Kuzan was able to improve his combat strength so quickly was that he had the heart of a strong man.

Against the defeat, there are three categories of people.

The first type, which is the lowest category, always puts the reason on other people when thinking about why they failed, and always considers that the other person is too strong, not that they are too weak. He even blames his peers for his own reasons and resentment.

The second type of people in the middle level, when thinking about why they will fail, can objectively review their own shortcomings, and summarize ways to make up for their shortcomings in order to improve themselves.

The third type of people, the first to think is not why they will lose, but how to defeat the other party, although the problem is the same in the end, but the attitude towards this matter is different.

The [domineering] that can crack the Devil Fruit is just an auxiliary tool in the final analysis, and in Kuzan's opinion, the reason for his real defeat is not how much worse his overall strength is than the opponent, but the failure in tactics.

Compared to him, although that Helian Feng did not have a special Devil Fruit ability, he clearly knew what he was good at, and was able to expand this advantage continuously.

In the two battles with Helian Feng, the cause of each of his routs was the same ......

That is to be seized by the opponent for a hand-to-hand battle, and every time after being close to the opponent, the defeat is like a mountain.

The opponent's incomparably gorgeous physical skills and control of strength have reached an unbelievable level, and in Kuzan's opinion, there are only a handful of people within the navy who can compete with him in pure physical skills.

"In this way, we can't be discouraged......" Kuzan's eyes were extremely determined.

"It's because of the strength of the other party that you can't let it go, that's a betrayal of your own justice!" Feeling the internal organs that had improved slightly, Kuzan stood up.

"Your Excellency, Vice Admiral! Vice Admiral Sakasky's fleet has landed. Dazuo on the side said softly.

Dazuo's voice is a little strange, and the main reason is that Sakasky is full of controversy even within the navy, with admirers and disdainful.

"......" looked at the warships docked on the dock, and Kuzan raised an eyebrow.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Cut! I was supposed to be here for a whole day, and I didn't have any warm clothes!" a certain naval search party was complaining about a female navy wearing a hat and a brown blanket wrapped around her body.

Kuzan's troops, who had only planned to rest on the island for a day, increased their docking time because they had to search for Helian Feng, which made many navies who did not prepare warm clothing very unhappy.

As for the unhappy spearhead, no one complained about Kuzan, but unanimously pointed to Helian Feng, who was still wanted.

"Throw the blanket away! Now we have to face pirates with the strength of a vice admiral!" On the side, probably the leader of the team, saw this female navy's dress, and frowned dissatisfied.

"Cut! How old are you!" The ruffian-looking female navy ignored it, and raised a middle finger towards the squad leader disdainfully, and even deliberately looked for fault, even wrapped her head in the blanket!

"Belmel!!" glared angrily, as if the squad leader was about to crush his teeth!

The surrounding navies seemed to have long been accustomed to this situation, and they didn't mean to persuade at all, and even faintly showed a gloating smile.

"I'll look over there...... If you meet, remember to ask me for help~~" Still with a mocking smile full of ruffianism, the female navy named Bermel ignored the squad leader, dragged her musket and turned to search elsewhere.

"Sooner or later, you'll look good!" looked at Bermel's back resentfully, and the team leader put this account on for the time being!

……

……

"Idiot!" said Bermele, who walked into an alley alone, with a look of disdain.

The so-called squad leader is just a temporary arrangement from above, and he doesn't even have a formation, but this guy is energetic, holding chicken feathers as an arrow, which is also the reason why Bermeer, who has never served others since he was a child, despises him.

As for searching......

The other party is not that kind of gangster, even if the shit luck is touched by you, you may not know who will flee at that time, but the order from above is to quietly find and lock the location.

With this in mind, Bermel slung the musket over his shoulder and pulled the wanted list from his bosom.

"It's really ......a big gap with ordinary pirates," pursed his lips, Belmel looked at the photo of Helian Feng with a small white face, and couldn't see the hideous scars, dirty shapes, and explosion-like muscle groups, only a harmless smiling face, Sven's glasses, a neat hairstyle, and a neat suit. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a sea thief worth hundreds of millions.

"Hmm......"

Because he looked down at the bounty, he didn't notice that Belmelton in front of him had crashed into something.

"Bastard, you don't have long eyes when you walk!!" the habit formed over the years made Bermel scold before he could stand firmly, and he narrowly stabilized his body, so that Bermel had time to look up at the person he had bumped into.

"Hmm, I'm sorry~~Haha~ The main thing is that this thing is so delicious~ I can't help but be in a daze~~~"

Holding a large paper bag filled with steaming roasted sweet potatoes, it just looks delicious.

"Forget it! Pay attention to the next time you walk, not everyone is as kind as Uncle Ben!" Sighing God in the snow, Belle and Mel did not mean to be polite at all, reached out and took out one from the other party's paper bag, and bit half of it.

Suddenly, a rich sound is transmitted from the taste buds to the nerves! Bermel can even feel the process of pleasure being transmitted from the nerves! Both the taste and the texture are superb!

"Boy, that's good, where did you buy it?" Raising an eyebrow in satisfaction, Bermel took one out of the other's bag again, and then glanced at the person he had met.

The harmless smile of humans and animals, Sven's glasses, and the neat broken hair, hmm...... It looks very cultivated, not a prick.

Except that it's a little strange to wear only one shirt on a cold day......

……

……

The atmosphere suddenly became eerie, and the movements of Bermel's mouth chewing became slower and slower......

Getting slower and slower......

Sweat began to form on his forehead......

Although roasted sweet potatoes do warm up a lot, they definitely don't get to the point of sweating!

Bermere's eyes slowly moved to the ground, the wanted warrant that had just fallen when they collided together.

Grin......

Spectacles......

Hairstyle......

"Boom...... "Goo-dong" swallowed the roasted sweet potato in his mouth with difficulty, and Bermel knew what to do.

She should now quickly back away while attacking with her own musket, closing the distance between the two of them while shouting for help and getting the attention of her teammates......

The only way to get a glimmer of life......

……

But what about knowing!

Stared at by those smiling eyes, she couldn't move at all! She couldn't move a single step!

There was no killing intent, no threatening action, just the sky-high bounty of hundreds of millions! Bermel couldn't move!

Move! Move me! Belmel cried out frantically in his heart! But his feet were as if they were not his own!

"How does it feel?I feel that the taste is okay~~~ But the roasted sweet potato really still has to be sticky to feel it!" As if he had found a fellow practitioner, Helian Feng was interested and asked Bermel for advice.

"Whew~~" A strong wind blew through the small alley......

Suddenly, the blanket that Bermel wrapped around his head was lifted, revealing the navy's military cap inside......

"Oh...... Navy?" Helian Feng opened his eyes slightly and pushed his glasses.

And Bermel seems to have been woken up by this gust of cold wind!

"Enemy attack!!" The high-decibel voice suddenly burst out! At the same time, his body quickly retreated, and he skillfully held his musket in his hand!

"Bang!"

But the gap between the two is too big!

Helian Feng dodged slightly, and he had already dodged this shot......

Activate the instantaneous movement at the same time!

In the blink of an eye, it has appeared in front of Bermel's eyes!

It's too big!

A breath of despair permerated Bermel's heart, but she wasn't the master to be slaughtered!

"Hmph! naïve!" His face suddenly became gloomy, and his eyes behind the lenses were full of murderous energy!

Bermel's cold hairs stood on end! As if her throat had been torn apart! If it had been just now, this killing intent alone would have been enough to make her lose her sense of fighting, but now that she had aroused her ruthlessness, she had no hesitation and shouted out in a higher voice!

"Enemy~~~ Hmm!!"

But he could only spit out a single word, and he got stuck in his throat.

It's dark!

Bermel lay limply on the ground......

Warm ...... on the face

Probably blood......

It turns out that my blood is so hot......

Originally......

Human blood is sweet......

There is also the smell of roasted sweet potatoes......

Well?

Sweet potato??

"You're dead......" voice filled with laughter......

Helian Feng stood up from the ground and looked at the female navy lying on the ground, unable to see her expression, because Bermel's whole face had been slapped by Helian Feng with a hot sweet potato......

"It's ...... The punishment for chasing me ~~~" shrugged his shoulders, and Helian Feng had a harmless smile on his face......

Took out a roasted sweet potato from the bag......

And then......

"Poof!" accompanied by a strange sound effect, the rest of the sweet potatoes in the entire bag were all buckled on Bermel's head......

"Papapa......" There was a noise of footsteps not far away, and two navies had already been seen around the corner, attracted by Bermel's call.

Helian Feng smiled, didn't care, took the last roasted sweet potato left in his hand, took a bite gently, and turned to leave.

Belmel hadn't come to his senses until now.

From the Shadow of Death......
