Chapter 61: Battle Plan
Battle plan, these four words can be said to have appeared for the first time in the Straw Hat Pirates. ใใ
Think about how Luffy's gang of 'barbarians' debuted in the East China Sea:
Clown Bucky, how dare you bully the puppy funny? Meow a mi, don't be cowardly! Sheng just front, the wind and fire all the way over, did you win? win, finish the work, hide your merit and fame.
Hundreds of Kloe, how dare you murder the eldest lady Keya? Meow a mi, don't be cowardly, just do it! Shenggang is positive, all the way through the wind and fire, have you won? Won, finish the work, and hide your merit and fame.
Admiral Creek, how dare you not pay after eating? Meow a mi, if you don't coward, you just do it!
Fishman Aaron, how dare you make my navigator cry? Meow a mi, if you don't coward, you just do it! Shenggang is positive, all the way through the wind and fire, have you won? Won, after the battle, the merit and fame have not been hidden in the depths of success, and the bounty is 30 million Bailey.
When they arrived at the Great Passage, Sherlock had all been skirmishes, not to mention for the time being.
And this time, according to the idiot captain's style, it is estimated to be ......
Sand crocodile-Klockdahl, how dare you take Vivi's country? Meow a mi, don't cowardly, do it! Sheng just fronted, the wind and fire all the way through, did you win? What? Haven't fought yet?...... Forget it, it doesn't matter if you win or not, I'll fight first.
Therefore, Sherlock, a veteran intellectual worker, felt the need to teach the Straw Hat Pirates a lesson.
A long wooden table was placed in the center of the room, and the Straw Hat Pirates were seated in turn, but the chief sat not Luffy, the captain, but Sherlock, the initiator of the meeting.
Sherlock propped his elbows on the table, his slender fingers crossed in front of his mouth, leaning forward slightly, the wiped lenses reflecting two stunning lights in the somewhat dimly lit room, making it impossible to see where his eyes were looking.
An invisible aura emanated from Sherlock's body, so that Zoro and the others didn't dare to take a breath, and he just sat there quietly, but it attracted people's attention like a flame in the endless dark night.
(Why does this guy suddenly seem to be a different person...... The Straw Hats complained silently in their hearts.
If it were Anna and other high-level executives of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce here, they would definitely burst into tears of excitement.
It's time to enter the meeting mode!
"Alright, I'll tell you about the current form in general first. โ
- Projection mirror!
Under the astonished gaze of Nami and the others, an illusory three-dimensional map appeared on some of the old wooden tables, although a little simple and crude, but it was very clearly marked with the names and descriptions of each place.
"This is a map of Alabastan, where Yuba, where we are currently located. โ
Brush, a city in the center of the continent to the west of the map glows green.
"And the current location of the sand crocodile: the rain land, is here. โ
brush, a city in the north of Yuba glows with a blinding yellow light.
Sherlock's voice was soft and magnetic, but everyone could hear it very clearly, because his lenses reflected the light, so it was not clear where Sherlock's attention was, but Nami and the others always felt that a pair of dark eyes were watching them, so they had to pay attention.
Except, of course, for an idiot in a straw hat.
"Okay! I've got it!" Luffy suddenly slapped the table and stood up with an excited face: "I already understand Charlotte's battle plan!"
Nami glanced at Captain Dumb Cargo suspiciously, "Luffy, what's Sherlock's plan?"
"It's very simple~" Luffy grinned: "That bastard crocodile is in our north, so we'll go north......"
"And then?"
"And then it's not in the rain, find him, and shoot him away?" said the stupid captain very naturally, as if in his eyes how to defeat a sand crocodile was the same problem as how to stuff an elephant in the refrigerator.
"I knew ......" Nami, Usopp, and Sanji helplessly put their hands on their foreheads at the same time, all with expressions that were really like this.
The green-haired swordsman still had a stern expression, he looked at the map in front of him, nodded thoughtfully, and said softly:
"It turns out that it's the north......"
"Poof!~~~" Everyone who heard this sentence almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
(Dr. Doriel, doctor, I don't think I'm going to be a panacea...... Chopper lay on the table with tears streaming down his face, silently thinking to himself.
(And I don't think even if there is a panacea, it won't cure Zoro's road idiot!!)
"Green algae head, although I know you're a road idiot," Sanji had an expression on his face that reacquainted himself with Zoro, "but I didn't expect you to be so road idiot that you didn't even know where it was north!"
"Don't be wordy! You nymphomaniac curl your eyebrows! Your nymphomaniac is really incurable!"
"Bastard, are you kid looking for a kick?"
"Do you want to fight?
In this way, these two guys actually fought like this, and at the same time, Luffy and Usopp were afraid that the world would not be chaotic to cheer for them, whistles, and laughter one after another.
For a moment, the style of the painting seemed to return to the original funny time on the Merry, destroying the atmosphere of the meeting that Sherlock had worked so hard to construct.
"Sanji, samurai, don't fight......" Weiwei said weakly, she wanted to persuade her, but she was not strong enough.
Sherlock quietly looked at the teasers, silent, still sitting with his fingers crossed, although it seemed that he still had a calm face, but the slightly twitching corners of his mouth blocked by his fingers showed the true mood of the sorcerer at this time.
At this time, Sherlock's heart: "(โฏ"โกโฒ)โฏ(โปโโป"
He really wanted to just lift the table and leave, it was really a beep dog, and these teasers were really incurable.
(Why did I get on this thief ship in the first place?) Sherlock asked himself, but couldn't think of a suitable answer.
At this time, Nami secretly glanced at the sorcerer, only to find that the latter was silently paying attention to her, and her sunny smile gave people a feeling like a spring breeze.
But Miss Navigator now read this from Sherlock's watery eyes:
(Give you 20 seconds to quiet these teasers, or I'm going to kill someone!)
"Uh......" Nami shuddered, and was able to express such a terrible thought with a smile, should it be said that it was Sherlock?
After 20 seconds......
Looking at the four teases who had been beaten by the Lord Nami, Sherlock nodded with satisfaction, and then continued:
"Our ultimate goal is to hit the sand crocodile, but it's not wise to just hit the door. โ
"Not to mention the rain that covered Klockdahl's eyes, the navies that were chasing us alone were enough for us to drink. โ
Zoro suddenly thought of a certain blue-haired glasses girl, and immediately nodded thoughtfully.
"It's still going to be a fight, it's a question of how, and whether we should do something meaningful before we fight. โ
Clearing his throat, Sherlock took a large pile of information out of the mirror space and placed it on the table, allowing Usopp and the others to start circulating it among themselves.
"These are the materials I've been collecting since Whisky Peak, and while most of them are trivial, there's a lot of useful information. โ
Sherlock then began to talk at length, from the secret purchase of weapons in the Baroque studio to the design of Klockdahl's rebellion against the King's army, from the purpose of the dancing powder to blame the king to how he blackened the sand crocodile into a revolutionary army............
โโฆโฆ The Sand Crocodile has been secretly funding the rebels, because even if the rebels are superior in numbers, these unequipped stragglers are still unable to fight the king's army. โ
"The rebels were short of weapons and supplies, so the sand crocodiles provided them with weapons and supplies. โ
"His aim is to have the two sides of equal strength fight to the death in Albana, and when they are both exhausted, he will take advantage of the fisherman's army and get rid of both the king's army and the rebel army!" Sherlock said in a heavy tone.
The location of Albana on the map lit up with a blinding pillar of blood-colored light.
"Judging from the ships of the Baroque workshop we saw when we came, the sand crocodile is no longer taboo with the suspicion of the navy and the world government, indicating that the day of Armageddon is now!"
"That's amazing, Sherlock, it's almost time to catch up with me!" said the long-nosed brother with a look of admiration, he really didn't expect Sherlock to deduce the shocking conspiracy that Klockdahl had planned for many years by relying on those trivial things.
The little reindeer nodded his little head, with an unaware expression.
Nami thought for a moment after hearing this, and said with some uncertainty: "In this way, neither the royal family nor the rebel army will exist anymore......"
"Well, and as the most prestigious person in the country, the Sand Crocodile is likely to be elected by the people as the new king. Sanji touched his chin: "It's like the Magnetic Drum Kingdom." โ
After the Drum Kingdom is destroyed by the Blackbeard Pirates, the new king will be elected by the people themselves, and even the world government will not interfere with this.
"How can he do this!" Wei Wei's face became bloodless after thinking about the severity of the matter, she slammed the table hard, and shouted: "This is 1 million people! He actually wants to kill so many people in order to seize my country!"
"Calm down, Vivi. Zoro said coolly, "Sherlock's bringing it up here means he already has a solution, right? โ
The slightly ridiculous name of the green-haired swordsman suddenly gave Nami and the others a feeling that they should be like this.
Strategist: Yes, if the Straw Hat Pirates are compared to a person, then Luffy, the stupid cargo captain, is the heart and the core center of the Straw Hats, and Sanji and Zoro are the left hand and the right hand respectively.
And the sorcerer, Thassarian Sherlock, is the "brain" of the Straw Hats!
"Naturally, there are solutions, and that's one of the main reasons why we came to Yuba. Sherlock nodded, then waved his hand lightly to Vivi's hopeful gaze.
Brushing to the map, the three port cities near the Santo River near Yuba lit up with a blue glow.
"As a hub city, Yuba is arguably the closest city to those three places. Sherlock calmly pushed his glasses:
"Next, we're going to divide our forces. โ
