Chapter 66: Before the Storm
"Sengoku, you're going to get old faster than I am—" Karp scoffed with his characteristic laugh. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was rare that Sengoku did not refute for the first time as usual, his eyes under the glasses had a solemnity that could not be concealed, and his hands were firmly placed on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.
Karp, who was familiar with him, finally suppressed the tearful laughter after a while, looked at the silent old friend in the marshal's chair, the things and casualness gradually dissipated, and replaced it with a rare seriousness after Roger's death, and said in a deep voice, "In the end, no matter how powerful that kid is, he is still a newcomer who has just emerged, and his strength has not reached the kind of tricky existence that we can't deal with. ”
"Karp......" Sengoku finally spoke, the pupils under the glasses were extremely dignified, and after a deep groan, he shook his head with the braid on the back of his head, and said, "Ye Qiong has already made a name for himself in the incident on O'Hara Island, I remember that he was only about eleven years old at that time, and he injured Sakasky, who was a lieutenant general at the time, and attracted the attention of Lieutenant General Kuzan. That's why, out of prudence, I made an exception and imprisoned him on the sixth floor of Advance City, as you know. ”
"Yes, at the age of early ten, that kid's combat power was already good at that time, and I was a little unbelievable when the news reported the news the other week that he had escaped with the prisoners......" Karp sighed slightly.
"Well, I regret it now - I really shouldn't have kept him in the first place. It's just that I didn't expect to be arrested on O'Hara Island as a 'son of the devil', but he used the name of 'demon' to break through the ironclad city of Push City. And in disregard of the order of the world on the Holy Land, he not only let go of the Thousand Heavenly Dragon Slaves, but also slaughtered hundreds of Heavenly Dragon nobles! When Warring States said this, his angry tone trembled slightly, "Ye Qiong, the threat to the world government is too great, with the mysterious fruit ability of his space series plus the swordsmanship inherited from the Night Emperor, if you don't get rid of it in time, the future troubles will be endless!" And the Celestial Dragons have to give a clear explanation anyway, this large-scale massacre has caused panic among the world's nobles, and the death of so many Celestial Dragons is the first in hundreds of years. The Draconians are openly or implicitly accusing our Navy of incompetence! ”
"So, I decided to put things on the other side of the new world for now, anyway, those pirates are all unruly, no one obeys anyone, let them fight on their own, and it's not too late for us to end or suppress it."
"You mean...... I want to deal with Ye Qiong's group first. Karp said suddenly, pouring the senbei he was holding in his hand into his mouth.
"Of course, otherwise why did I urgently summon you back before, just for him." Warring States sighed and said in a deep voice, "The strength of the Demon Ye Qiong cannot be underestimated, I estimate that he even has the strength of a general. ”
"Are you sure?" Karp said solemnly, his eyes narrowed slightly, "It's too surprising to say it, it's just a teenager......"
"Before, because we were too underestimated, we let him escape many times! The same mistake must not be repeated this time! Sengoku's head was tilted, and reflections flashed on the lenses of his glasses.
"Oh? Listen to you, it seems that you already know the whereabouts of that kid? ”
"Yes, before, I received a secret message from someone, saying that Ye Qiong was hiding in Fish-Man Island."
"Secret news? Is this credible? ”
"Can't be wrong, our spies have also confirmed the news."
"Okay, I'll go to Fish-Man Island tomorrow and get him back." Karp grinned, full of confidence, and poured the senbei completely into his mouth.
"Karp, with you going, I'm naturally relieved. But this time the prisoner is cunning and strangely capable, and I will let a few people go with you, and don't refuse. Sengoku said solemnly.
"Who?" Karp wondered, and subconsciously cast his gaze to the door, someone approaching.
Three men in navy coats slowly stepped in, either steady, lazy, or casual, each with a different attitude, but they all had a powerful aura that no one dared to doubt their strength.
"Ahh Polusalino pouted, his eyes faintly glinting.
"You just received the information about the location of the 'demon' Ye Qiong, did you summon us here for this matter?" Sakasky said in a deep voice.
Kuzan didn't speak, but looked at Karp in silence, and the two familiar people looked at each other and bowed slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.
"General Sakaski, Lieutenant General Kuzan, and Lieutenant General Polusalino, you have all fought against the Demon Leaf Dome, and this time you will fully cooperate with Lieutenant General Karp's actions. Tomorrow you take the warship to Fish-Man Island, remember, you must catch the 'demon' Ye Qiong no matter what, eh...... Dead or alive. Sengoku said coldly, glancing at them.
"Yes!" The others nodded in agreement.
"Wait, I have something to say." Sakasky suddenly spoke up and said in a calm tone, "I suggest, wait a minute, and leave for Fish-Man Island immediately." ”
"General Sakaski, no matter what you say, it doesn't have to be so early." Kuzan frowned.
"Hmph, 'Demon' Ye Qiong is not that simple, this time it was not easy to get the news of him, once he escaped, who will be responsible for this." Sakasky snorted coldly, "And there is no need to prepare anything on the warship's side, or I will go first as the striker, and you will follow behind." ”
"You said you went there first? General Sakasky, this is a bit of a big deal. Kuzan shrugged.
"It's a bit rushed, but it's okay on my side." Polusalino waved his hand.
"If Lieutenant General Kuzan is afraid, he can apply to withdraw." Sakasky looked up and looked at Kuzan with some mockery.
Seeing the tendency to quarrel a little, Sengoku slammed his palm on the table and shouted, "Enough!" Do you still have me, the marshal, in your eyes? ”
He pondered for a moment, then looked at Karp and said, "Karp, is it okay to leave in the afternoon?" ”
"Okay, no problem." Karp nodded.
"Then in the afternoon, immediately set off to Fish-Man Island and arrest Ye Qiong!"
"Yes!"
After Sakaski, Kuzan and Polusalino left, Karp was surprised, "I didn't expect you to let them go with me, except for the newly promoted Sakasky general, the other two are lieutenant generals with enough fame and strength on the sea, and it is estimated that they will be promoted to general in a few years." ”
"Yes, it's up to them later, then again, who made you not want to be promoted to general."
"Come on, it's too troublesome to be a general, and I'm very optimistic about Kuzan, so let them do more in the future."
"Whatever you want, but ...... Karp, please, this time I have to catch Ye Qiong no matter what. ”
Sengoku leaned back in his chair and exhaled slowly.
"Don't worry, if even we fail, I don't know who else can arrest him."
Karp smiled, put his hand on his navy coat, and stepped out of the door of the marshal's office.
