Chapter Twenty-Four: Escape and Recuperation

Flowering in the middle, internal destruction, although seemingly simple, is effective enough. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, outside the G8 fortress, the naval fleet led by Moro and the Eagle Owl was staggered due to the impact of energy, and chaos piled up together. Even if they could withstand the force of the impact, this was the sea, and no matter how strong they were, they could not make their ship defy the will of the current.

When they were stunned and saw the Tempest rushing out of the G8 fortress with a devastating momentum, they could only watch Crockdahl's departure with resentment.

Even though there was some sparse shelling along the way, it was more like a symbolic expression of his rebellion, and it did not affect the operation of the Tempest.

The formation of the naval warships was completely scattered, tangled with each other, like a mess, and it was not a simple matter to sort it out. And if they can't organize an effective battle formation, facing the Rainstorm is just a refueling tactic, so even if they are unwilling, they can only watch the Rainstorm go away.

"Abominable ......"

The same words came out of the mouths of Tess, the owl, and Moreau, and they all had unwilling expressions. They knew that if there was another opportunity like this, it would be even more difficult.

Only Lieutenant General Jonathan showed a relieved smile while moving his body paralyzed by the electric shock.

"After such a failure, you should be able to restrain your pride, ......right?"

……

At this time, the Rainstorm, which successfully escaped the day, finally slowed down and drifted on the surface of the sea in a relatively gentle manner. Meanwhile, on deck, the pirates were busy repairing the Tempest.

Because of the fierce battle before, and the overloaded navigation after breaking through the fortress, the already broken ship reached its limits. If it weren't for the keels of the hull, ribs and other structures that had been reinforced by Jean's metal fruit ability, I am afraid that it would have fallen apart long ago at this time.

If this is the case with the Tempest, the Golden Merry is even more unbearable. But miraculously, the Golden Merry is still sailing smoothly on the sea, and even looks more stable than the Tempest.

"That's what it is...... A ship with a soul?" Looking at the Golden Merry, and the carnival that Luffy and the others on the ship could see, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Luffy's Golden Merry reminds Crockdahl of the legendary Black Pearl, which is also a ship with a soul. Think about it, who wouldn't want to own a black pearl when sailing on the seas?

"I don't know what the 'Hades' will look like...... Could it be like the Black Pearl, the fastest ship at sea, the night elves who don't know silent?"

There was longing and desire in Crockdahl's heart. From what I know, as well as what I have speculated, the ancient weapon "Hades" should be an invincible warship in the sea. And this invincible battleship is already very close to itself, in the capital of the seven waters, the place where the legendary "Hades" was born.

The blueprint for "Hades" was kept in his chest by Carter Flam, oh, now called Franky. Previously, due to his own plan and the fact that Baroque Walker's spies could not infiltrate the City of Seven Waters, he did not start. But for the design of "Hades", his covetous heart has never diminished.

Now is your chance!

Pass through the capital of the seven waters and quietly take it away. When everyone's eyes were on the iceberg, and when the CP9 agents believed that the iceberg was hiding the "Hades" blueprint, no one would suspect him.

Crockdahl seems to have seen himself standing on the bow of the Hades ship, cleaving the waves.

However, these are all just fantasies, and the priority now is to make repairs. Even with Jean's ability, the pirates carried out repairs to the Tempest, but the conditions in the sea are limited, and if they don't want to be food for fish and shrimp, they will have to find an island to stop at.

Besides, after a series of intense battles, it is also necessary to take a break.

Although the magnetic field is disordered in the great route, and you can only rely on the guidance of the pointer to find the next island, there are also some small islands in the magnetic field lines that do not generate magnetic fields.

There are many such islands in the great shipping routes, and as the name suggests, they are characterized by their small size. Because they are so small, they do not generate a magnetic field and do not have any effect on it. Without exact charts, few people are able to find the island they have visited.

Because of this, such islands often become supply points or nests for some pirate groups. What's more, pirates will record the location of the island and use it as their own treasure hunt.

For example, the sea thief Wu Nan, who collected one-third of the world's gold, such as the treasure of the legend of One Piece Roger, such as the treasure of Captain John, who Bucky the Clown has been obsessed with......

Even the unknown island where Crockdahl met Jean could be classified as such.

Crokdal and their luck was good, and they soon came across an uninhabited island where they could rest. Or have they always been lucky? Otherwise, how could they still be comfortable in the midst of the navy's repeated sweeps?

Thanks to the efforts of the crowd, both the Tempest and the Golden Merry were towed ashore and placed on a maintenance rack that Crockdahl had piled up with sand. It is impossible to completely repair the ship at sea.

There is a small forest on the island, overgrown with straight sky-high trees, like tropical coconut palms. It just so happens that these trees can be cut down and used to repair their ships. And from the faint roar of the beast in the forest, you can tell that there is no shortage of food here.

Everything seems to be going on the good side, but the strange tacit understanding of the previous breakthrough has disappeared, and another tense atmosphere is silently growing. It is obvious that the faint diaphragm in it.

Speaking of which, Luffy and Krokdal are still in a state of hostility, at least the matter of Alabastan has always been a knot in Luffy's heart. And after taking the medicine of Kulokas, Anilu, who has recovered his strength, can also be regarded as a third-party force.

Between these three groups, Anilu and Crockdahl's gang have contradictions, and Luffy's gang has no small contradictions. As for Crockdahl, he offended Anilu and Luffy. Luffy and his gang also have their own grievances. In short, the relationship is like a mess, like a magical triangle.

……

Located outside the G8 fortress, the young man had only taken out his poor phone bug once again not long after the last time. In a state of trembling phone bugs, he spewed out cold words.

"Hey, Jonathan, what's the matter, it's a sin to disturb my sleep!"

Qingzhi began the conversation with lazy ridicule as always, but then, what he heard made his face become serious. At this time, he is the strongest combat force of the decisive naval headquarters, and the admiral is young.

"Well, I got ......"

Qingzhi took back the phone bug, took a deep breath, looked up at the G8 fortress looming in front of him, and after a little thought in his heart, he made up his mind and stepped off the bicycle. Just as his feet were about to fall to the surface of the sea, a cloud of cold air suddenly appeared, and a floating ice surface was instantly frozen on the sea.

"Huh......" Qingzhi carried the bicycle behind him, then squatted down, pressed the palms of his hands on the ice, and exhaled a cold breath, "I hate this rush the most, what I want to implement is complete and leisurely justice......"

With a seemingly complaining word, Qingzhi's whole person turned into a piece of ice, which merged with the ice surface, and only the outline could tell that he was a person. Then, starting from the ice, the sea instantly froze in one direction. The rapidly cooling temperature caused an extra road made of ice on the sea, and the young child merged into the ice path and quickly disappeared......

In the G8 fortress, Jonathan showed a helpless look, looking still like a hanger, but there was a deep haze in his eyes. In his left hand, the voice of the phone bug still seems to be echoing, while in his right hand a ready-to-take photograph smells of ink.

In the photo, Anilu, who was wrapped in electric light, like the god of thunder, turned sideways, revealing a contemptuous look that seemed to be contemptuous of all life. **'s upper body has perfect lines, the thunder god drum behind it adds to the majesty, and the thunder and lightning in his hand bring him boundless domineering. If nothing else, this will be the picture on Anilu's bounty order.

"Another newcomer from the Great Voyage? That's too terrifying, according to his strength, supernova or something can't express his strength, if you use a bounty to express it, it should be the level of 500 million Bailey! He's already a sea thief who has reached the level of the Seven Martial Seas......"

"Whew...... It's time to go back to the headquarters. Crockdahl, I didn't expect that there was such a strong man hidden in your pirate group. To be able to accept such a person as a subordinate, what level of strength have you reached?"

At this time, Anilu had no idea that he had left the jade photo in Jonathan's hands, and without his permission, he was classified as a pirate group of Krokdal, and also positioned as a sea pirate worth 500 million bounty.

Jonathan put Anilu's picture back on the table, and instead picked up Crockdahl's bounty order, which made the 300 million Bailey amount on it extremely glaring.

"Perhaps, the headquarters made a very wrong decision this time...... "Whether it is the status of the Seven Martial Seas, or the amount of the bounty......

Crockdahl, how many other hole cards do you hide that we don't know?
