readx;? The light in the dark night was always so conspicuous that almost the entire G-8 fortress was drawn to the sky-high flames. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"What's going on?"

Looking at the firelight in the distance, Sherlock gently pushed his glasses with a calm face, and began to think quickly in his heart.

According to his plan, the Straw Hats should be as low-key as possible when they reunite, so as not to attract the attention of those navies. However, Sherlock also knew in his heart that the plan was destined to be just a plan, and there would definitely be some surprises when it was implemented.

For example, Luffy, the funny captain, has never been surprised when it comes to causing accidents.

And the sorcerer can think of it with his ass that this thing will habitually appear in a very lively and troublesome place......

"Okay, I think I can guess a rough ......"

Sherlock sighed helplessly, then summoned the magic carpet and sped away towards the burning place.

…………

G-8 Fortress Central Control Room.

"I didn't expect him to be defeated so easily. ”

Lieutenant General Jonathan looked at the scene on the screen in amazement, and even through the screen he could still feel how hot the raging fire was.

It is simply that the position where they fought before is in an open field, otherwise this fire will definitely cause great damage to the G-8 fortress.

"Although the natural system can be restrained by some other natural factors, the effect is not so significant......

Shaking his head, Jonathan asked his lieutenant, "It seems that the black crow is done here, what is the situation with the sand crocodile now?"

"Everything is normal, Lieutenant General. ”

The young major looked puzzled: "It's strange to say, Klockdahl's Hailou stone handcuffs have been unraveled, but he actually gave up escaping, and I don't know what the hell he wants to do." ”

"Now, with the help of Major General Alain, the sand crocodile has put on the Hailou stone handcuffs again. ”

"yes......"

Lieutenant General Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news, and to be honest, he didn't expect the night to be so "lively".

(Next, it's time to deal with the Straw Hats, hmph, look at the time, it's almost time to "close the net".) ）

Stroking his mustache, the corners of Jonathan's mouth turned up slightly.

He commanded them to go down and wait until their ships had been captured by the fangs of Nabalon before sending men to surround them, remember, to catch them alive. ”

"Yes, Lieutenant General. The major gave a standard military salute after receiving the order, and was about to leave, when the phone bug on the table suddenly rang.

"Blue Blue Blue ......"

The distinctive ringtone kept echoing in the somewhat empty central control room, and Jonathan raised his eyebrows, for no reason, a very bad premonition rose in his heart.

Raising his hand to signal his lieutenant not to leave yet, Jonathan froze and answered the phone.

"Lieutenant General! Lieutenant General is not in a good situation!" An anxious voice suddenly sounded from the earpiece, and at the same time, the telephone bug also made a look of horror very expressively.

The bearded lieutenant general of the "......" face sank like water.

…………

Fred spilled oil everywhere during the battle with Luffy, so after being hit by Usopp's Firebird Star, the entire coast instantly turned into a sea of fire. The billowing smoke is mixed with raging flames, like the legendary Red Lotus Hell.

"Ahem......"

Sanji coughed violently, the smoke and harmful gases produced by the burning of the oil made the old smoker feel very uncomfortable, and the heat evaporated the moisture in the air, and even the skin on his face was extremely dry.

"Luffy, Luffy, where are you?" the curly-eyebrowed cook was very anxious, because he knew very well that the idiot captain had just been wrapped in a ball of oil!

Sanji vigorously fanned the smoke that obscured his view, and after searching around for a while, he finally found his captain in a clearing that was not surrounded by a sea of fire.

"Hey, Luffy! Cheer up. ”

Sanji grabbed Luffy's collar and shook it vigorously, but the latter didn't react, and his dirty face was calm like a dead man.

"You guy......" The curly eyebrows were raised and raised, and Sanji suddenly had a flash of inspiration when he saw this, and he yelled at Luffy's ear in a hurry:

"Luffy! It's time for dinner!"

！！！

The food captain, who was originally lying in the shape of a corpse, opened his eyes in an instant, and then a carp sprang up, and this sudden move almost knocked Sanji to his head.

"Where? Where? Where's dinner?"

Luffy wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and looked around eagerly. But the tease soon found that there was nothing around but flames and black smoke, and couldn't help but pout in disappointment.

"What, there's no dinner at all,......" said the thing, his expression was sluggish, and his body staggered, and it looked like he was about to faint again.

Sanji hit Luffy's head with black lines all over his head.

"Don't faint again, you bastard!" the curly-eyebrowed cook let out a long sigh of helplessness, and he looked in the direction of the Merry, his face very ugly.

"There's such a fire here, the Merry can't be relied on, how do we get back to the ship?"

At that moment, however, a familiar and magnetic voice came from above the two of them.

"Hurry up. ”

Sanji and Luffy looked up, only to see the sorcerer floating above on a magic carpet, looking at them for a long time, and gently pushing their glasses with the same classic movement.

"Sherlock!" x2

"What bomb?!?"

Vice Admiral Jonathan shouted at the Navy on the other side of the phone, and although he had heard it very clearly, he really didn't want to believe his ears.

"We found a captured Navy soldier in a giant safe in the storage room, as well as a giant time bomb. The Navy soldier repeated word for word.

"Although there is a difference in appearance, and the size is several times larger, after our verification, this giant bomb is the one that the Sand Crocodile originally planned to detonate in Albana!"

"Isn't that bomb mysteriously missing? How could it be here?" the jaw of the admiral who was listening was about to drop.

After the arrest of the sand crocodile, the navy has strictly interrogated almost every member of the Baroque workshop, but no one knows the exact whereabouts of the giant bomb, which is said to have an explosion radius of five kilometers, which is also a point that the navy is focusing on investigating.

"It turns out that the bomb was recovered by the Straw Hats......" Lieutenant General Jonathan's face was hard to see, where was the previous confident look.

"I think it was a time bomb, right? When did it detonate now?"

"At 9:30 p.m., less than 40 minutes before the detonation. The Navy on the other side of the phone bug pondered his words and continued: "If you open the gates of the fortress now and order all the people to evacuate the G-8 fortress, it should be too late. ”

The G-8 fortress has always relied on its unique geographical environment, as long as the fortress gate is closed, the tide of the Nabalon Inland Sea will recede at 9 o'clock in the evening, and the countless reefs on the seabed will rise to the surface like fangs, making it difficult for ships to move an inch.

It is true that it is absolutely impossible for those pirates who plan to escape from prison to take a boat after the tide goes out, but on the other hand, the navy itself can't run if they want to!

The only solution to the problem of low tide is to open the fortress gates before 9 o'clock.

"It's in time, hehehehe......"

Slumping in his chair, Lieutenant General Jonathan smirked self-deprecatingly, "I thought that as long as they held the last line of defense, the Straw Hats would never be able to escape from the G-8 fortress, but now it seems that they did not intend to break through the gate on their own from the beginning, and everything they did before was just to distract us and stall for time." ”

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that I, a fisherman, would be trapped in a fishing net......" Jonathan put his hand on his forehead, and a heartfelt frustration rose in his heart.

This kind of kidnapping in disguise is actually not a high-end strategy, if it is placed in normal times, the resourceful Lieutenant General Jonathan can definitely get along with many effective solutions, but unfortunately, he does not have much time to think about it now.

Jonathan is well aware that there are only two options before him:

1. Choose a compromise, open the gates of the fortress to ensure that the level of the inland sea does not drop, and then order the evacuation of the G-8 fortress with all personnel. It's just that in this case, the Straw Hats will take this opportunity to escape.

2. Implement absolute justice, don't open the door, and break the net with this gang of evil pirates. But conservative estimates suggest that the giant bomb could destroy at least a third of the fortress, and the casualties cannot be estimated.

On one side is the lives of thousands of naval officers, and on the other side is the justice that he upholds as a navy.

(If it were Sakasky, he would have no hesitation in choosing the latter...... ）

Somehow, Jonathan was thinking of his former colleague in this situation. He also remembered that the reason why he left the Navy Headquarters and was transferred to Nabalon Fortress was precisely because he did not recognize the [absolute justice] of Admiral Akainu?

If you look at it from this perspective, it doesn't seem that difficult to choose.

With a long breath of turbidity, the bearded lieutenant general's eyes were clear, and he turned his head to look at the large screen in the central control room, and found that the two ships were sailing quickly towards the fortress gate in the night.

"Straw Hats......" Jonathan said to himself, half-squinting, in a voice that only he could hear:

"Better not let me meet you next time!" (To be continued.) )
