The night was deep, snowy, but surprisingly not dark. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info On the contrary, the moonlight is extremely transparent under the reflection of this plain white world, which also makes the dock a little brighter.

The weather wasn't great, but it was still a long way from the worst. In general, it will cause great difficulties for ships to sail, but not to the extent that they cannot sail.

After Jenny Bonney made her decision, a group of pirates poured out of the cabin. Skillfully hang the sails, lift the anchor, and untie the cables. The pirates cooperated with each other, and the whole set of movements was clean and neat, and everything was ready to sail in less than a minute.

Then, under the order of the first mate, the spinnaker opened at a not too big angle, but it successfully held a wisp of night wind. A few long poles sticking out of the bilge pushed again, and the small sea ship smoothly sailed away from the town dock, silently turned out a wonderful arc, and disappeared into the wind and snow.

After leaving the docks, the flag belonging to the Bonnie Pirates quietly rose into the air, indicating their identity.

It's a convention, but every pirate group needs to put up their own flag on the sea. This is both a status symbol and the soul of the pirates. Those who did not hoist the pirate flag and carried out raids, even the most shady pirates, were quite disdainful of them.

The Princess Anne is a small seagoing vessel in the style of a classic brig. And after the transformation, it has brought the characteristics of speed to the extreme. In addition, the ship mainly uses shoulders, which further reduces the stability of navigation in the wind, but is more suitable for "grabbing the limelight".

The main reason for saying that this sailing yacht is classic is that it combines the characteristics of agility and speed. With the cooperation of experienced helmsmen and sail pilots, it is possible to achieve "graceful and easy" control, and even to turn around on the spot, which is almost impossible to do at sea.

Because of its fast speed and easy maneuverability, coupled with the relatively low cost of shipbuilding and the ease of repair, such fast sailing ships became a common type of ship used by pirates for a period of time.

But that's the old days......

Since the words of "One Piece" Roger, countless people who have sailed for treasure or dreams have opened a new era of pirates. And the direct consequence of the increasing number of pirates is the endless fighting in the sea.

There's a saying that's ironic, but it's true. That is, the most rapid development of human science and technology is always because of war. So, with the increasingly fierce battles in the era of pirates, all kinds of black technologies have also ushered in their spring.

Not to mention the legendary ancient weapon "Hades" that can destroy an island with one shot, the bucky bullet invented by "Clown" Bucky alone can destroy a town with one shot.

Against this backdrop, the sturdiness of the ship and the firepower it possess become more and more important. And like the brig, the brig has no advantage other than speed, and is destined to be eliminated by the times. Even if many people still adhere to the concept of speed, they have to admit that they have now entered the era of giant ships and cannons.

This is the consensus of most people in the sea. As a sea thief, if you don't have a big five-masted ship with dozens of cannon doors on board, you are embarrassed to greet people.

As for the draft of a large ship, it is very troublesome to maintain or maintain, and it requires a high level of shipwrights, and it is necessary to go to a special place with a large dock......

They are already sea pirates, don't they have such a port in their sphere of influence?

Even on the land of each island, the large ports are generally controlled by the navy, and it is not difficult for the sea pirates to build a hidden private port by themselves.

So even while excitedly experiencing the thrill of sailing, Crockdahl did not forget to find fault with the Princess Anne, and the meaning of contempt was obvious. As a result, he was soon driven back to the cabin by the unbearable Jenny Bonney, who drank rum boredly with the barrel.

Of course, Crockdahl wouldn't admit that this was the philosophy he firmly adhered to as a giant ship cannon party. That's exactly what happened, that's right!

……

When the Princess Anne braved the wind and snow and embarked on another journey with an uncertain future, in the midst of the great voyage, the envoys of the navy also arrived at their respective destinations one after another, and found the target they were looking for - the Seven Martial Seas.

People in the navy always seem to have special skills in finding people.

If it is like the "Empress" Boya Hancock, or the "Celestial Yaksha" Don Quixote Doflamingo, it is better to say that people with their own station, but people like "Hawkeye" Mihawk, who has always been a loner and whose whereabouts are a mystery, were also accurately found by the Vice Admiral in the vast sea, and I have to praise a miracle.

But if you think about this matter in a different direction, isn't it the Navy showing its strength?

It's like announcing to everyone that as long as you're a pirate and have your wanted warrant, then no matter what ship you're on, what information you're on, where you're coming from, we'll be able to determine where you're going.

Undoubtedly, this is not only to summon the Seven Martial Seas, but also a kind of deterrent to the pirates. It's like hanging a sword of Damocles over the heads of the pirates, telling them that it's better to restrain their evil.

Deterrence, in layman's terms, is scare. It is a success to make pirates vigilant and restrained. Even for those sea thieves like the Seven Martial Seas, the effect that can be achieved is minimal, but it is like putting on an invisible shackle. Knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, killing the chicken and setting an example for the monkey is not just as simple as an idiom.

This time, Ace unfortunately became the "chicken" to a large extent.

And as if it was destined in the dark, the last time the Navy announced a public execution was none other than Ace's biological father, "One Piece" Gore D. Roger......

……

Years later, a man sat in the dim light of the night, hunched on his desk and scribbled. What he wrote was a very informative and very heavy memoir.

What is recorded in the memoirs is that great era, the era of countless heroes and heroes. It is also the most golden era in this world.

And the man who was fortunate enough to witness that era, when he was still a teenager, was just the most ordinary reserve soldier in the navy. But he will never forget what happened during that time, the battle he witnessed and participated in, the man who nearly killed him......

It was the most vicious of the most wicked of the most wicked generation. He will never forget the figure laughing wildly in the battlefield of blood and fire.

That one...... People who bring "smiles" to the world......

……

"Dressrosa is really a good place for a vacation...... "Rear Admiral Aldrich, who led the way, secretly admired as he walked.

Oh, he's a lieutenant general now. Since the incident on Justice Island, the navy, which has lost many of its main combat strength, has been busy promoting several rear admirals to fill the vacancies, and he is one of them.

Aldrich, who has just celebrated his 36th birthday and is still a young man, although he is promoted like a filler, is also something to be proud of. After all, in the navy, under today's increasingly corrupt system, the phenomenon of seniority is far more serious than people think.

Promoted to lieutenant general at this age, he has reason to expect more. Although he is also self-aware, knowing that in terms of his own strength, he must be hopeless for the general, but the shepherd side may go further and become a staff officer with decision-making power......

Thinking of this, he attached more importance to this mission. Even if this mission, to put it bluntly, is just to send him as a messenger to pass on the orders of the navy.

It can be said that there is no difficulty in this matter, and he is only needed because he needs to use his identity as a lieutenant general. Reading the convening order to the Seven Martial Seas also requires sufficient respect.

However, although it is not difficult, Aldrich is also very serious. Not to mention that the several people who were promoted with him were also performing this task, and they could be regarded as a competitive relationship with each other, so it was said that the person he was going to meet was a troublesome person who needed his full attention.

Don Quixote Doflamingo, a notorious fellow even among pirates.

At the same time, he is also a guy who is known for his recklessness.

Insolent character, it seems that there is nothing he dare not do, it just needs to see if he is interested in doing it.

Not to mention, during the gathering of the Seven Martial Seas not long ago, Don Quixote Doflamingo was so bold that he used his ability to play with the rear admiral in the naval headquarters. And the reason is just because he is bored and wants to have some fun.

So, Aldridge now has a rather nervous sense of waiting.

Although he served as a herald as a vice admiral, he represented the face of the Navy no matter what he said, and it was a must to be neither humble nor arrogant. If he can perform more brilliantly, it will undoubtedly show that he, the new lieutenant general who has just been promoted in the firing line, is very capable. What's more, although the person he faces is troublesome, he is also the best talker......

Among the Seven Martial Seas, the Tenyasha has the widest sphere of influence, and he is also the person who has the deepest relationship with the world government. This has to be regarded as an irony, but it is also a reality of this society.

Stepping onto the beach, Aldrich could already see Doflamingo basking alone in the sun from a distance, and his keen five senses even allowed him to faintly hear Doflamingo's characteristic laughter, and his conversation with the phone bug at the round table next to him—he didn't seem to care about being heard in secret, without any disguise.

However, Doflamingo's casual behavior does not mean that Aldrich can also treat him casually. He straightened his expression and took two steps back with a polite smile on his face, indicating his attitude.

On the other hand, Doflamingo's call also "happened" to come to an end. After hanging up the phone, he waved to him with a strange laugh of "fufu

Ostentatious, wanton, and unconcerned about the identity of the vice admiral who came, as if that person was just a subordinate. He had this power, and he had this power, because he was Don Quixote Doflamingo.
