Chapter 103: The Burning City (Part 1)
The Devil sailed with the wind and the waves for five days, and finally came to the fourth stop of this route. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
There are no strange things on this island, and there are no shady deals, so there is no trouble in inquiring about information, and Rhodes has left all the information exchanges with North to Chloe.
Chloe has been recording information almost every day since he has obtained such a huge intelligence network, and he can feel a thing or two about the movements of the great voyage every day.
"The Straw Hat Boy is also thriving on the Great Voyage, and the bounty has exceeded 100 million as early as Alabastan. Chloe sighed, the hairy boy who barely beat himself in the East China Sea has now offered a reward of hundreds of millions, which is really not to be underestimated.
"Huh, do you mean the straw hat guy in the East China Sea?" Tyton asked, "That kid has a bounty of hundreds of millions, Captain, we're going to have to work harder!"
Rhodes snorted, "Are you desperate to be hit by the Navy? ”
"It's so boring!" Tyton grabbed Sanji's juice and gulped it down.
"Akin. Sanji was carrying a plate with several glasses of juice on it, and he approached Akin, who was used to leaning against the corner, and handed him a glass of his favorite watermelon juice.
Ah Jin was a little surprised, took the juice, nodded at Sanji, took a sip, and then began to drink.
"Nana-san~" Sanji's eyes were full of peach hearts, and he rushed to Nana, put one hand behind his back, and bent down to say, "For the beautiful you, I will offer you a glass of juice that can stay young forever." ”
Nana blinked and said, "Thank you!"
Hearing Nana's words, Sanji couldn't help but breathe heavily, and walked on the deck energetically, offering everyone a glass of juice to quench their thirst in this hot weather.
"Chloe, are they still following us?" Rhodes asked, rubbing the bridge of his nose.
Chloe nodded and put down the notebook in his hand: "I've been following it for five days, and I can't shake it off." ”
"The revolutionary army followed us closely, I think one is to spy on us, and the other is to warn us. X said, hugging the sniper rifle that had just been brushed and lit up in the sunlight.
"It's no surprise that this is the case. Rhodes sighed, "I really shouldn't have anything to do with the Revolutionary Army." ”
"Our every move is under their watchful eye now, and if we continue like this, we will really become a puppet controlled by them. Chloe said.
Rhodes drank the juice down: "Find a way to get rid of them on the next island." ”
"It's coming, the fourth island, the Burning City. Chloe pointed in the direction the ship was heading and said, "It is said that the former sea pirates, and now the second captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Fire Fist Ace, ate the Devil Fruit here, and he burned a large area of land here, and the flames are said to have taken ten days to extinguish. That event made Fire Fist Ace famous for the Great Voyage, and the island came to be known as the Burning City. ”
"Well, that's where that guy's Devil Fruit got it. Rhodes said with a look of sudden realization.
"You seem to know him, by your words?" Chloe sensed that something was wrong with Rhodes' tone.
Rhodes let out a "hmm" and looked at Tyton: "Four years ago, when I went to the 197th branch of the East China Sea with Colonel Adolphus of the Navy, I happened to run into that guy, and I had a trace of intersection. ”
"I see, it's really interesting, you've actually met Fire Fist Ace before. Chloe thought it was like a story, Rhodes had an encounter with the pirates who are now offering a bounty of 550 million berry four years ago.
"Ah...... That guy is still the older brother of the Straw Hat Kid. ”
"Huh, what are you talking about? Straw Hat Boy and Fire Fist--"
"Captain, look!" a pirate interrupted Chloe without knowing it.
Rhodes walked up to the pirate, who pointed ahead and said, "Burning City, it's here!"
Chloe didn't care about these things anymore and came to Rhodes.
The Devil soon arrived at the docks.
"Something is wrong. Rhodes said.
"Isn't it another strange island?" Tyton cried, and every time he couldn't find a normal place, he couldn't enjoy it in peace.
Chloe said very calmly: "There is a civil strife here, and now the rebels are being captured. ”
"Civil strife couldn't have come at a better time. Nana said as she looked at the houses that had come to an end of sight on the somewhat dilapidated dock.
"Landing on the island first, it's so chaotic here, it's just an environment specially set up for us, hurry up and get rid of that group of revolutionary troops. Rhodes said eagerly.
"Throw off the revolutionary army, our ship is still parked here, they don't need to look for us at all, just stay here and wait for the rabbit." "Tyton thinks Rhodes has a lot of brains, and he can't understand such a simple thing.
Rhodes glanced at him: "You're wrong, we're not trying to get rid of them completely, we just need to give us a few days to plan and it's enough, as for the ship, just stop here!
Rhodes and his gang quickly disembarked.
"The docks are really deserted, the city that never sleeps is much better than here, at least there are a lot of ships on the docks, and there is obviously a lot of trade. There aren't even a few boats here, so I guess no one wants to come to a place where civil unrest is happening. Sanji dropped a cigarette and walked on Nana's side.
"The civil strife has basically been put down, and now it's just a matter of arresting some rebellious soldiers. Chloe didn't have much to worry about, "The security is definitely much better than the front-end time, besides, we are pirates, what are we afraid of?"
Rhodes and his gang continued to go deeper, and after walking for more than ten minutes, they left the docks and reached the interior of the Burning City.
The Burning City was once a thriving city with many houses and shops filling the streets, but now they are hiding in their homes for fear of the outlaws and the fighting between the army and the rebels, and most of the people who come out have to come out because they have no food at home or are sick or something.
None of these people were careless, and they must have experienced some tragic things.
More than 70 members of the Rhodes Pirates were rampant on the deserted streets, blinking their eyes unnoticed.
Soon something happened.
A soldier who appeared out of nowhere shot a black gun and wounded one of the Rhodes Pirates, after which X took out the soldier in time.
But because of the sound of gunfire and other reasons, a large number of troops were soon drawn.
"That's a lot, I don't know if it's bad to break in during civil strife......" Chloe lifted his shirt, his signature move, which meant he was going to fight with the cat's claws hanging from his waist.
Suddenly, there was a shout from the army on the other side.
"Rebels spotted, troops are being assembled!"
