Chapter 12: The City of Water and the G8 Fortress
It's hard to remember the exact time when you're driving on the sea, and the unpredictable weather makes it even harder to keep track of the exact day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Ten days or twenty days? Crockdahl doesn't remember very well, but in short, such a dull day made his bones seem to fall apart.
A laid-back, free life?hey, you abrasive little goblin......
After his daily routine of going to the dungeon to grind his mouth to Anilu, Crockdahl took up the sun on the deck. In his hand was a piece of the latest information, a newspaper on the Great Voyage.
The newspaper delivery birds in the Great Voyage are a miraculous product, because as long as you order their newspaper, these birds will show up on time every day, deliver the newspaper, and collect money to go away. It's the same no matter where you are, and it's like you've traveled through a dimension when you appear and leave.
The deck of the Tempest is still the same as in the past, the croaking of the noise, the busyness, even the cultivation is the same. Although everyone could see the naval fleet following behind them, they all turned a blind eye to it, because they were used to it these days. No matter how many times they drive away, they will post it again, and they don't bother to care about it, just be vigilant every day.
"Follow the direction of the pointer and you'll be to the Capital of the Seven Waters, right?" Crockdahl pondered, recalling the famous water city, the shipyard, and the first meeting point in the first half of the Great Voyage.
The capital of the seven waters, it can also be called the seven capitals of water, or it can be called the capital of water.
The Great Passage is a special sea area in the One Piece world that is sandwiched between the four seas. Starting from the Red Earth Continent and ending at Lovedel, the site of the legendary Onepiece, a short route is cut off from the four seas by windless belts on both sides of the route. In the great voyage, geomagnetism, celestial phenomena, ocean currents, air currents, etc., are all chaos, and the experience that people usually know is completely subverted here.
Bounded by the Chambord Islands, the Great Voyage is divided into two sections, the first half becoming a paradise and the second half being the New World. From the Red Earth, there are seven routes along the magnetic field lines, which can be chosen at the beginning, but once you have chosen one, you cannot change it unless you reach the place where the magnetic field lines meet.
And the place where the capital of the seven waters is located is where these seven magnetic field lines meet for the first time. It can be said that any sea ship that enters from the entrance of the Twin Gorges on the Red Earth Continent will inevitably arrive here. Here, the seven routes that diverge into the Twin Gorges converge and then diverge here again until the next convergence point.
The next meeting point is the Chambord Islands, which are also home to the headquarters of the Navy.
As long as you go to sea, you will pass through the capital of the seven waters, and communicate and rest here.
No matter which route they go next or from which route they come, it will become an important place for them to rest and exchange information. Over time, it has become the world's largest shipyard with a network of seven islands, including tourism, entertainment, and other industries, especially the shipbuilding industry.
According to legend, the ship that accompanied One Piece Roger to the end of the Great Voyage was built here.
This legend has added a bit of glory to the status of the leader of the shipbuilding industry in the capital of seven waters, but it has also brought a lot of trouble. It is said that the materials used by One Piece Roger to build ships - the branches of the treasure tree Adam - are still left, and they are stored in the capital of the seven waters. Along with Adam, there is also the blueprint of the pirate ship that Roger is riding.
Whether it's Adam the Treasure Tree, the legendary wood, or the blueprints of Roger's pirate ship, they are all things that pirates covet, and even agents of the World Government have appeared.
However, I'm afraid few people know that the most precious thing in the capital of the seven waters is actually the design of the ancient weapon "Hades"?
Thinking about it, Crockdahl couldn't help but smile. The memories before the time travel were the best reward for him, and although there was some cover-up in the original book, now he was able to verify the authenticity of the blueprint. And unlike the World Government CP9 guys, he already knows where the blueprints are in the right place.
"Frankie, you're a funny man, but ......" Crockdahl raised his hand to the sky, and then slowly clenched it, as if to hold the future, "I swear that I will win!"
……
Where there are pirates, pirate hunters are naturally indispensable. And because of its importance, the Capital of the Seven Waters has also become the location of the branch of the Pirate Hunters Guild. As for the headquarters of the Pirate Hunters, it is located in the New World.
At this moment, in an ordinary bar in the City of Seven Waters, a piece of parchment with a crocodile was nailed to the wall. In the dim environment, parchment with different drawings covered the entire wall, some new, some dilapidated. What's more, it was torn in half.
There weren't many people drinking in the bar, except for the owner, who seemed to have a never-ending glass, just one bartender and four guests. Among the guests, a middle-aged man sat in the corner with himself wrapped tightly, while the other three were clearly in a group, drinking ale and boasting to each other in front of the door.
Obviously, it's not a good time to do business.
"Squeak ~ button-" There was a sound of the doorway, and the wooden door that only reached the person's chest was pushed open, and then a man wearing a huge cloak walked in.
The door to the bar closed automatically behind him, blocking out the light that had lit up again as he entered. The bar was once again dim, giving it an oppressive and dreary feel.
"The old rules. The man was obviously familiar with the place, and as soon as he walked in, he ran to the bar, and his cloak was naturally thrown over the head of the sleepy bartender.
"Hehe, I've been back a lot longer than before, have you caught a big fish?" said the bar owner as he put down the rag and glass in his hand, grinned, and took out a narrow glass wine bottle from the wine cabinet and handed it over. Then, while pouring wine into the sake bottle, he looked at each other as if he was expecting some kind of story.
"Don't say it, count me unlucky!" the man took the wine bottle, drank the red liquid inside, and then exhaled softly before saying, "In order to find him, I ran half a great voyage, and finally found that he was actually killed by someone else, what a ......" After speaking, he looked embarrassed.
The man took off his cloak and looked like a young man. Short shoulders, inside is a semi-dress-style silk shirt, the top two buttons are open, there is a sense of unruliness. Black eyes and black hair, like obsidian, attract people's eyes. With a handsome face and a handsome nose, he is definitely a first-class appearance. Coupled with his long hair tied into a ponytail and his slender and soft figure, if he doesn't listen to his voice, he will definitely be considered a woman.
"Is your prey going to be snatched by someone else?" said the barkeeper, refilling the young man with a full drink. For him, the news that Delkule had his head snatched is definitely worth chewing on.
Delkule pinched the strangely shaped wine bottle, raised his tail finger high, and sipped the wine into his mouth little by little. At the same time, as if enjoying himself, his eyes narrowed into two curved lines.
"Hmph, or it would be said to be unlucky!" Delkule stretched out his scarlet tongue, licked the wine stains on the corners of his mouth very **, and said only when the Adam's apple was rolling, "Obviously, they have become the prey of Lord Ben, and they actually have the audacity to provoke the navy from the G8 fortress, what a group of hopeless brainless fools who are too self-assured! And the harm of Lord Ben was almost invited to dinner by the navy! If it weren't for Lord Ben's wisdom and martial arts......"
"Is the garrison of G8 Fortress going to knock them down?" the bar owner asked, keenly noticing the sensitive point and interrupting Delkule's boasting. However, looking at his expression, it is unknown whether he is curious or unable to stand the noise.
"That's true...... yes, how could it be......" Delculler thought, unconsciously fiddling with the rings on his index fingers.
……
The naval branch is an important military base laid by the navy in the great shipping routes, and it can also be understood as a military fortress set up by the navy on the sea. The great shipping route could not be managed by the Navy Headquarters alone, so these subordinate institutions appeared. This is the case with the commonly known G8 Fortress, which is officially known as the "G-8 Branch of the Navy".
Each of these fortresses is garrisoned by a lieutenant general rank, and there are also military forces that match the name. Forts are usually built in places that are geographically critical in the shipping routes, and these forts are relatively independent and autonomous. Just like the G-5 branch of the Navy in the Great Voyage.
Unlike the naval divisions of the four seas, the garrison troops in the fortress need to fight against the strong ones in the great shipping routes, so these navies are more elite than the armies of ordinary naval divisions. When it comes to combat effectiveness, some of them are even more powerful than the navy of the Navy Headquarters.
Each fortress has the power to cut first and then play, so although the commander of the fortress is a lieutenant general, he is half a level higher than the lieutenant general of the headquarters, which can be said to be a feudal official.
Because of the different personalities of the commanders, the way of doing things in each fortress is also different. Some are extremely proactive, often patrolling the vicinity of the fortress or sailing to fight crime, while others are quite laissez-faire and turn a blind eye to the surrounding pirates.
The G8 Fortress is one of the latter, and the navy here generally trains in the fortress and does not easily leave the fort range. Pirates passing by the vicinity of G8 Fortress will be let go if they don't get too close or make something that could be considered provocative.
As a result, the G8 fortress has been rumored to be a "big and inappropriate fortress".
