Chapter 207: A Ghost Ship Falling from the Sky
At night, the moon and stars are scarce.
The Navy G-8 Fortress [Nabalon] looks like a sleeping beast under the cover of night, and although it seems calm, its fangs and claws still make people's heartstrings tight.
In the inner sea of the fortress, a strange dhows floated alone on the sea, and the deck was crowded with people.
"Oh, is this the pirate ship that suddenly appeared in our fortress? Major. ”
The speaker was a tall navyman, about thirty years old, with a square appearance, two dark brown beards above his lips, and a pair of half-squinted eyes with a languid expression, looking very unmotivated. But from the sparkle in his eyes from time to time, it can be seen that this naval officer is not an easy character to deal with.
"Yes, Lieutenant General Jonathan. ”
The major saluted and said respectfully, "Witnesses say that this pirate ship fell from the sky about half an hour ago, and by the time our people boarded the ship, the cabin was empty. And ......"
As he spoke, the major took out three brand-new bounty orders, handed them to his boss, and continued: "It can be seen from the skull emblem with a straw hat on the pirate flag that this pirate ship is the [Straw Hat Gang] that has been in the limelight recently!"
"Straw Hats?"
Jonathan flipped through the bounty order in his hand: "Oh? D. Luffy, 124.5 million Bailey, this captain's bounty is really presumptuous. There are also 97 million Bailey's sorcerers, 63 million pirate hunters, hehe. ”
Returning the bounty order to his lieutenant, Vice Admiral Jonathan looked around at the somewhat broken deck of the Golden Merry and muttered, "I didn't expect to fall into such a big [big fish] today." ”
"Major, how did the soldiers react to this?"
"Well...... Although everyone was very nervous when the alarm went off, they soon relaxed. ”
Speaking of this, the naval major scratched his sideburns a little embarrassed, and said with a strange expression: "This is all thanks to the recent frequent [actual combat exercises], everyone is no longer surprised by the sound of sirens......"
"Ahem...... Don't blame me for not reminding you, you must never say this in front of Major General Alain. ”
Jonathan coughed lightly a few times to hide his embarrassment, he really didn't expect that a series of bad things made by a certain little demon king Hu would actually greatly improve the mental quality of the naval soldiers.
"Oh, that's what you're taught. ”
The Major nodded solemnly and continued to ask, "So, what are you going to do with the Straw Hats? Now our fortress is no better than usual, and we must be more cautious because of the heavyweight criminal who is being held......
"What are you talking about, Major, Straw Hats? ”
Vice Admiral Jonathan suddenly glanced at his lieutenant with an inexplicable expression, and then he reached out and knocked on the mast of the Merry, which had been repaired many times, and said lightly: "This ship is clearly a [ghost ship] that fell from the sky......"
“???”
The major general looked confused, he opened his mouth and just wanted to refute something, but he met the meaningful expression of his boss.
"Yes, I see, it's a ghost ship. Nodding his head in understanding, the major turned and said aloud to the sailors who were searching around the ship:
"Did you hear that? You remember, the ship that landed here tonight was a ghost ship with no crew!"
"It's an order!"
"Yes, Major!" the XN sailors replied with a bang.
At this time, a naval soldier came over, saluted Jonathan, and said respectfully: "Vice Admiral, Rear Admiral Fred is here." ”
Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Lieutenant General Jonathan's eyes, and he turned his head to look into the distance.
I saw that on the calm sea of the inner sea of the fortress, a tall and thin blond young man was slowly "walking", the long back hem and two sleeves of the navy standard Dayu were raised in the wind, and his appearance of stepping on the water but walking on the ground was even more chic.
Ling Bo microstep ~~~
Judging from the admiring and envious gaze of the Navy on the Merry, Rear Admiral Crow's forced pretense was still very successful, and he had to score eighty-five points to say the least.
Of course, if you can ignore the long black trail on the water behind him, this score can be even higher.
"Major General Fred. If I'm not mistaken, the Navy Headquarters has made it clear that you can't use your fruit abilities on the surface of the sea. ”
Looking at the young officer who walked onto the deck of the Merry, Jonathan frowned slightly: "You polluted the water here, how should I fish in the future?"
"Hee-hee-hee, don't be so stingy, Lieutenant General Jonathan. Rest assured, my scavenger team will clean up all traces left behind by me. ”
Fred looked indifferent, he looked left and right at the Merry, first whispered about the damage to the small ship, and then said secretly in his heart:
(If I'm not mistaken, this flag is supposed to belong to the Straw Hat Pirates, but what are they doing here?
Although the official theory is that the White Hunters and others defeated Klockdahl and put down the rebellion in Alabastan, as one of the insiders, Major General Crow knew very well who defeated the Sand Crocodile.
(Oh~~~~ I see, this group of people should be the group of "pirates" sent by Spandam, hehehe, they came quite quickly.) It's just that it's not good for you to pretend to be a group of pirates, you have to pretend to be the last thing you shouldn't be, it's really ...... )
Since there is no reason for the Straw Hats to come here, then the intruder in front of him is naturally pretending, and combined with his secret deal with Spendham, Major General Fred takes it for granted that the intruder is "his own person".
As for the small probability event that "because his own captain was too pitiful, the whole ship collectively accidentally landed in the naval fortress" is comparable to the small probability of being hit by a meteorite, Fred didn't even consider it.
So, a wonderful misunderstanding was born.
“……”
Looking at Major General Crow, who was smiling evilly for an inexplicable moment, Jonathan raised his eyebrows, and was about to ask something.
Whoosh - there was a sudden piercing sound in the sky, and everyone looked up, only to see that with the dazzling firelight, a crimson flying fire meteor was rapidly approaching!
Boom - The fire slowed down a few meters from the deck of the Beauty, revealing a flame fairy with a long ponytail, and sparks flew everywhere, and the overwhelming heat caused the nearby Navy soldiers to run away.
It is worth mentioning that Fred's reaction when he saw this fire was particularly violent, and his pale face took several steps back, not knowing whether he was afraid of the flames or the person in front of him.
"Ahh ”
Major General Alain, who had dispersed the flames, lit a cigar and asked Jonathan suspiciously, "By the way, what about Smoker? I haven't seen him all day." Ask Dusty she doesn't know. ”
"Because of the [Special Summoning Order] of the Navy Headquarters, he secretly left here yesterday. ”
Jonathan sneered, he knew very well that the reason why the white hunter was so obedient this time was precisely to avoid the little evil star in front of him.
"Huh, he actually ran away alone without me?!"
Major General Alain's right eye, which was not covered by the blindfold, suddenly widened when she heard this, she took a hard puff of her cigar and muttered to herself: "I actually abandoned my lovely boss like this, hum! This unscrupulous old smoking gun, I will see and grab your cigar once in the future!"
(You don't seem qualified to say that, do you?......) )XN
The navy looked at the double-ponytailed Rear Admiral Lori in front of them, who was smoking a cigar with an unhappy face, and the expressions on his face were very subtle.
"Ahem, Vice Admiral Jonathan, have you found any information about this pirate ship?"
The black crow coughed lightly and forcibly broke the topic, he still cared very much about the decision of the owner of this fortress.
"Ah, it's just a ghost ship with no people, don't worry about it at all. Jonathan smiled.
(Hee-hee-hee, nice job!)
Fred let out a long sigh of relief in his heart, and gave Lieutenant General Jonathan thirty-two thumbs up for his actions. The latter's bland reaction was tantamount to a great help to the crow's next series of plans.
"Huh, is this a ghost ship?"
Gently spitting out a smoke ring, the double ponytail expired Lori looked at the familiar pirate flag of the Straw Hat Pirates, and pointed out:
"But what if the ghosts sneak into the fortress......?
Fred's face changed slightly, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
“…… Let me help you catch these ghosts, I'm most interested in this kind of thing. ”
Alain jumped slightly, and stood on the cute head of the Merry, her long black and white pony tail swaying in the wind.
Fortunately, a certain straw hat idiot was not there, otherwise he would have to go crazy when he saw that his captain's seat was actually occupied.
"Oh, then I'm sorry for you, Major General Alain. Jonathan didn't even think about it, and he agreed very humbly.
(I'm a ...... What if you catch them all?)
Hearing that this Rear Admiral Fred almost fell headlong on the deck of the Merry, and that the most troublesome characters were involved in the last thing he wanted others to get involved in, this Nima was simply a tragedy with a capital letter!
"That, Major General Alain. The crow calmed down and tried to save it.
"Why don't you bother with this kind of thing? Why don't you let me do it, my scavenger team is not only good at hygiene, but also ......"
"Are you commanding me? boy. "The sweet Lori is mixed with a hint of chill to the bone.
Alain raised his head and made a standard new house 45 degrees, his amber right eye faintly looked at the thin and tall navy with blonde hair covering his eyes, an invisible aura spread out from her petite body, and in an instant, the naval soldiers on the Merry shivered in unison.
The black crow who bore the brunt of the attack was even more unbearable, beads of sweat darting down his forehead, and he realized that communicating with the little evil star in front of him who dared to inflate the bicycle tires of the general pheasant must raise her to the same height as the marshal of the Warring States.
"No, no, no, I mean...... Match, yes, match!"
Fred secretly complained in his heart, as the eldest young master of the Falconi family, when did he suffer from this, he wiped the sweat on his cheeks, and flattered: "If you need anything at that time, please just give orders, my subordinates will definitely do their best to cooperate." ”
"Hmph, that's a lot of work. Major General Lori nodded in satisfaction.
"Vice Admiral Jonathan! Vice Admiral Jonathan!" at this moment, a naval soldier ran out of the cabin in a hurry.
"We found a lot of gold in the room!"
Whoosh—a petite figure teleported in front of the navy.
"Gold, what gold, come on, take me around. With that, Rear Admiral Alain dragged the navy into the cabin.
"Hehehe, what an interesting little guy, oh no, I remember His Excellency Akainu once said that Major General Alain is really an "old-timer"~"
Lieutenant General Jonathan stroked his beard lightly with his fingers, he looked at the black crow with an unnatural face, and then looked up at the pirate flag hanging from the top of the mast, and in the cool night breeze, the skeletons of the Straw Hat Pirates fluttered in the wind, and the sound of hunting.
(And how do I feel that the "fish" that I accidentally fell this time is much bigger than I thought?) )
