Chapter 12: Encounters
After sending Du Hang away, the militia uncle began to inspect the situation around the village as always, and at this moment, the shadow of a big ship faintly appeared in the distance. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
His heart sank, today was not the day when merchant ships were passing by, what kind of ship would it be? Could it be a pirate?
However, after a short while, his doubts were dispelled, because the navy's iconic seagull flag was already clearly visible, and seeing the rare navy, the militia uncle breathed a sigh of relief, ran to the beach, and pulled out two small flags from his back waist to flag the navy, telling them how far they could anchor.
On such a small island without a port, it is impossible for a large ship to dock at close range, and if it is too close, it will inevitably run aground, and if you want to go to the island, you must stop far away and send small boats and sampans over.
"Colonel Karp, the militia on the island is guiding us where we are anchored. The lookout shouted.
"Oh, the people on this island are very kind. Kaphaha laughed.
Under the command of the militia uncle, the navy soon landed on the island, and after a few words of greeting between the two sides, the navy put forward the need to take water, and this small request naturally quickly obtained the permission of the villagers, and a large group of navy began to bring all kinds of water intake equipment to the small river to get water.
Karp wanted to fetch water with everyone, but the soldiers firmly refused him on the grounds that he was the captain of the ship, and Karp was bored and wanted to talk to the villagers for a while, and when he walked to the entrance of the village, he happened to see the navy soldiers handing out the latest wanted notices to everyone.
"Everyone must remember the appearance of the pirates, once they encounter the person on the wanted notice, flee quickly, and then report to the navy in time!" said the navy soldier as he spoke, and the people nodded yes one after another.
At this moment, several exclamations came from the crowd, causing a commotion.
"What's going on?" Karp asked.
Seeing the cloak of justice that Karp was wearing, several villagers said in a restrained manner, "That...... Lord Navy, it seems that there is a person on the wanted notice just now, who has just come to our village. ”
"What?!" Karp was stunned when he heard this, "Which one is it?"
"This is it. Several villagers picked up the wanted warrant in their hands together, "Gordo Roger, this is him, he just came to the village with a young man with a cigarette stick not long ago, they said that he was a shipwrecked merchant, and he came here to look for a boat, so we told them to go to Reilly on the west side of the island, and now the three of them should have gone to sea with Reilly's ship......"
Hearing this, Capten turned around and yelled, "Everybody! Stop all your work! Return to the ship! Hurry up!!"
"Yes!" Hearing Karp's order, the navy who was still lining up to fetch water poured out the water in their hands one after another, and ran frantically towards the boat as fast as they could, and after a while, Karp was the only one left on the shore.
The militia uncle looked at this scene with a surprised expression, in fact, before he returned to his hometown to become a militiaman, he had also served in the navy, but he had been in the navy for several years, and he had never seen any team with such strong execution! If it was an ordinary naval unit, it would take at least thirty or forty minutes to return to the ship after hearing Karp's sudden order, but how long did it take for these soldiers under Karp?
Seven minutes, ten minutes?
Who is this colonel named Karp?
But then he realized something bigger.
"Well, Master Karp, the boat is all rowed, how are you going to get back to the battleship?"
Kapu laughed: "Don't worry, it's just a few steps!"
Then, under the shocked gaze of the villagers, Karp kept moving forward as if he were running in mid-air, and in the sound of an explosion in the air, he actually jumped into the boat in a few steps!
"This, this is the rumored Navy Six that only high-ranking generals will use...... "Looking at this unbelievable scene in front of him, the militia uncle couldn't calm down for a long time.
On the other side, the small boat with the pirate flag finally sailed on the sea, and Du Hang sat on the side of the boat, comfortably spitting out a puff of smoke.
"It's so cool, it's so cool to go forward with the sea breeze and waves, and the most important thing is that you don't have to spend the money on the ticket, wonderful. ”
"Hahaha, this is freedom!" Roger said to Du Hang with a laugh.
Reilly also showed a rare pleasant expression, he took over Roger's work and became the helmsman, of course, the helm is only a sub-profession, his main class on the ship is a swordsman, just like Sauron on the ship of the later world.
"Captain, where are we going now?" he asked.
"Of course it's the Great Voyage! If you want to be the freest person, of course you have to challenge the most dangerous seas! I'm going to make the Great Voyage my territory!" Roger laughed.
Du Hang didn't plan to do so: "The great route is not in a hurry, anyway, sooner or later, we are going to go, let's go to the northwest first." ”
"Northwest, why?" said Roger, with a strange expression.
"You want to go to the island that the militia said, if he is right, there should be an animal-based Devil Fruit ability there?" Reilly guessed Du Hang's thoughts and reminded him.
"Well, that's it. Du Hang nodded, he had an idea he wanted to test, that is, whether his brain analysis ability could analyze the Devil Fruit ability, if he could, his future path would be broader.
"It's still a little early for my current strength to go to the Great Voyage, before I go, I plan to find a few places in the East China Sea to exercise, and that island with hidden treasures is a good option. Du Hang said.
"Devil Fruit Ability, I'm also interested! I haven't seen Devil Fruit Ability yet! So let's go there!" Roger agreed with Du Hang without hesitation.
Reilly nodded, he was actually a little interested, if everyone wanted to go, that would be just right, he took out the compass and began to align the position.
At this moment, Du Hang was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then looked in the direction behind him.
"Isn't it, so fast?"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the two of them: "There is a navy coming, and it is a heavy-tonnage warship, I am afraid that there are senior admirals on it, get ready!"
On the battleship not far away, Karp smiled and lowered his monoculars.
"Good, found them, hurry up!"
