30. Sweep & Harvest
In the center of the North Sea, on the endless sea, a piece of land is slowly drifting. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yes, it's drifting.
It looks like a huge piece of land, and the area is no worse than the average island, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that this so-called island is actually made up of special ships. These boats are actually huge snails, each of which can lift a large area of land. When these snails retract into their shells, steel frames stick out of their shells, and then they meet in pairs, eventually forming a huge aquatic land.
This is the domain of the Vince Mock family, the kingdom of Jerma, a kingdom without a land, a land that is not a land.
At the very center of this kingdom is a particularly majestic castle, which was also the place where the Vince Mock family lived during their time.
"Did you hear that? Our men were killed, and the thread of that psychedelic liquid was broken!"
"Well, I just got the news, it's said to be a naval captain, and it's a disciple of that Karp. ”
"Karp's disciples, when did Karp have disciples?"
"It should have been harvested in recent years, and it's still a child, hum, I'm afraid that only this kind of newborn calf would dare to provoke the Vince Mock family. ”
"Hey, look at it, even if it's Karp, in the face of our Vince Mock, he can only be soft!"
"Who's to say it isn't. ”
On the training ground outside the castle, countless young people who were training frantically talked quietly, hiding their voices in the sound of the impact of weapons.
And inside the castle, there is also a meeting going on.
"The news has been confirmed, it is indeed Karp's disciple, yes. It's a little guy that Karp met in the East China Sea two years ago, with the power of a devil fruit, and it can only be confirmed that it is a superhuman fruit, and the navy six styles and domineering are very proficient, and he is not yet 15 years old, but he can already be comparable to the average vice admiral, and his talent is very good. ”
A young man took the information in his hand and said with an indifferent expression.
After he finished speaking, the people around him began to talk.
There is no shortage of geniuses in the world of pirates, but at the age of less than 15 years old, such a talent can rival that of a vice admiral. It's no wonder that Karp took him in as a disciple, and even sent him to the North Sea to take control of the operation of a naval branch.
"What about the network for psychedelic liquids, what's going on now?"
Ignoring the non-stop chatter, a middle-aged man sitting on the throne asked in a deep voice.
As soon as he spoke, all the chattering around him stopped, and everyone looked at the young man who was holding the information.
The young man looked down, and then said slowly, "As of this information, 36 of the fifty major strongholds have been destroyed by him, and only three of our people escaped by themselves, and one was released by him, and the others have all been killed." As for the lower distribution points, the Chiba Captain has not yet moved, and it is not certain whether he has not grasped the specific information of these distribution points or is too lazy to do so. ”
The young man's voice landed, and the people around you look at me, I look at you, this time no one spoke, and everyone finally looked at the main seat, which was the position of the patriarch of the Vince Mock family.
The middle-aged man sitting on the main seat sat there expressionlessly, paused for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "Are there already 32 dead? Although they are all useless garbage, they represent the face of the Vince Mock family on the outside." This little guy is really not small, there is no reason for him not to know the identity of these people, let alone the strength of my Vince Mock family. Seemingly...... I can't help it, hehe, do you want to show more achievements before you are promoted to the commander of the world government? Unfortunately, you chose the wrong person!"
The middle-aged man suddenly let out a low shout, and a terrifying momentum swept through the hall, and nine out of ten people sitting around showed a look of horror on their faces.
Looking at the weak appearance of his subordinates, the middle-aged man snorted dissatisfiedly again, "Since they want to play, then I'll play with them, the Vince Mock family is not a soft persimmon that anyone can knead." A mere captain is at most a pathfinder stone, and if any of you want to teach him a lesson for me? You don't have to kill him, you just need to teach him a hard lesson, and it is better to break all the bones in his body. ”
With that, he stared at the crowd below.
There was silence in the crowd, and after a few moments, someone finally stood up.
"Father, I'll go. ”
The person who spoke had long blond hair, a double chin and a very sharp mustache that was raised high on either side. If Chiba was here at this time, he would definitely be able to recognize this person's identity, yes, this thing is the future king of the Jerma Kingdom, and he is also Sanji's father. But now, he is just a teenager who is also in his teens, and his beard has only grown for a long time, and it has nothing to do with the bearded strong man in the future.
"Very well, Gaji, don't let me down. ”
The middle-aged man on the throne said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
The young Gaji nodded, turned and walked out.
……
Chiba didn't know anything about the conversation that was happening inside Malger's Castle, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.
He was now sitting on his warship, heading to his next destination.
In just over half a month, he has destroyed more than forty points of sale. The information of the Vince Mock family is still a step slower in the end, and they don't know the latest results of Chiba's battle. Uh, in fact, there is nothing to be proud of, the people he killed are basically some wastes with little strength, of course, there are a few guys with good strength, but for ordinary people, it is strong and good, and for Chiba it is no different from ordinary people.
But even so, when it came to eradicating these parasites, he still encountered a small accident.
I thought that all the guys who were sent out to collect money were unlearned and unskilled waste, but who would have thought that a man who looked very old was actually a devil fruit powerhouse. It's a pity that it's a relatively weak animal among the three lines of Devil Fruits, and the animal is in the form of a cat and a cat fruit.
Speaking of which, the Tiger form shouldn't be bad.
It's a pity that this ability is a little older, and his physical cultivation is quite poor, so he can't exert the full power of this fruit at all, so he can only improve his overall strength to a certain extent, and by the way, he has sharp claws and fangs, how can this kind of thing cause trouble to Chiba?
But after all, he was a Devil Fruit power, and Chiba spared his life, and now he was locked in the cabin, and his body was already tied with Hailou Stone chains.
This is a windfall, and the rest is a lackluster destruction of one stronghold after another.
Another half a month later, Chiba returned to Mogus Island, and all the fifty strongholds had been swept by him, and all the money that had been delivered to the Vince Mock family in time had been swept away by him. Most of the navy soldiers who followed Lemans had become fat men with fat brains after years of living in comfort.
These guys Chiba didn't stay, and they cooperated smoothly, and let him live after handing over all his property. If you don't cooperate, there is only a dead end.
Fifty strongholds, a total of more than 300 million Baileys were found, which is really a lot of money. What's more, there are more or less remnants of the psychedelic liquids sent before in these bases, and they have all been collected by Chiba, which is more than 8,000 bottles, which is almost equivalent to the production of Mogus Island in a month.
Originally, Chiba was going to continue Lemans' routine, but after a month, he talked to Karp and Sora on the phone a few times. In the end, Sora decided to let the Navy buy the psychedelic liquid, after all, this thing is also very medicinous. Although the price is unlikely to be that high, the Navy's involvement in the acquisition is undoubtedly a clear signal.
The Navy has decided to enter!
In the previous calls, Chiba was constantly testing the idea of the air. Whether Sora is ready to make a move against the Marje Kingdom and the Vince Mock family. Is it true that he was sent to the North Sea for this purpose. Now it seems that everything is the same as he guessed, Sora is indeed dissatisfied with the Vince Mock family, otherwise how could he not die, but he put Chiba on Mogus Island, a place where birds don't?
With the endorsement of the Navy, Chiba is undoubtedly much less stressed.
He never underestimated any enemy, Vince Mock has been able to rule the North Sea for so many years, and he is definitely not an enemy that can be dealt with casually. The navy and the world government are strong enough, and they all have to look at the face of the Vince Mock family in this sea. Such a terrifying enemy is not something that the current Chiba can resist. So if there is a huge backer behind him to resist most of the pressure, Chiba can give it a go.
Otherwise, Chiba wouldn't be stupid enough to be a gunman.
Now that this problem doesn't exist, since he has time to lay himself a foundation in the back, Chiba suddenly becomes unscrupulous. This is also the reason why in the follow-up sweep, he will kill all the nails planted by Vince Mock.
Anyway, the contradiction already exists, so just be ruthless, anyway, these people are not a good thing, and there is no psychological burden to kill them.
……
After returning to Mogus Island, Chiba immediately began to arrange the delivery of a new stubble of psychedelic liquid.
The 8,000 bottles that came back from the sweep, the more than 200 barrels he had accumulated when he first arrived, and the more than 200 barrels that had been newly produced in the past month, added up to three months' output.
The Navy Headquarters had already sent a fleet to meet them, and Chiba only needed to let his men sail to the teleportation platform they had used to cross the Red Earth Continent. Naturally, there is a special person who is responsible for receiving the goods and paying the money.
Another advantage of trading with the navy is that the other party will not cheat itself, saying how much is how much, the navy has a big business, and it will not be picky in some raw materials.
Lemans was also sent on the ship, and Chiba was originally going to execute him with his own hands, but he sent a message in the hope that he would send Lemans back. Chiba thought about it, it doesn't matter, just send it, a dead fat man who has lost his use value, and he has to dig a super-large grave for him here.
After handling all the things at hand, before you know it, the time has entered winter, and Chiba has officially entered the age of 15.
After the first snow of the year, the entire island of Morgus is covered in pure white.
And above this pure white, a figure was walking slowly, with a huge spear behind his back.
Gaji, the son of the patriarch of the Vince Mock family, finally arrived two months later in the snow.
