Chapter Sixty-Eight: Jonathan's Fishhook

The determined Straw Hats slowly staggered past the naval fleet that pursued them under the cover of thick fog under Planck's superb piloting skills. Major Drake, who ordered the siege at the gate of the fortress, did not notice that his prey had made a mistake with him, and quietly broke free from his carefully planned encirclement.

After besieging the fortress gate and contacting the garrison of the fortress gate and the patrol fleet patrolling outside the fortress early, he got a hellish news. "Report Major Drake, search the fleet for incoming calls, there is no trace of the Straw Hats near the gates inside the fortress. The garrison at the gate of the fortress also said that it had not found any suspicious ship contact, and the patrol fleet outside the fortress also claimed that they had not seen the fleeing Straw Hats! On Drake's flagship, a Navy soldier reported in surprise. Gone? Are you kidding me? An angry Drake grabbed the soldier in front of him and scolded loudly with spittle. However, the result of the report is really like this! Major! "Oh no, the unwarranted soldier helplessly tried his best to explain to his commander." Waste, a bunch of rubbish, then Baron's reputation has been tarnished by a bunch of rubbish, forget me I'm a rubbish, what's the right to say you? Drake, who roared, left unwilling tears alone, and sat down on the deck, and suddenly the atmosphere of the whole ship calmed down,

But the silence was followed by an outburst, "Search, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find out the Straw Hats!" All the navies who heard Major Drake's words roared angrily, and the sad feeling of being looked down upon by his colleagues for many years exploded with all his strength at this moment.

At this moment, the Straw Hats they were thinking about had taken advantage of the fog to kill back to the fortress, and hid the ship in an abandoned dock after Robin compared the location of the fortress in his mind. But Usopp, who still felt that it was not safe and was afraid that his love ship would be robbed, went to great lengths to renovate the Merry, so the abstract cargo Navy Merry was born. "Alright, let's go, Usopp, you can't find out if you're so well disguised!" Planck waved his hand helplessly and motioned for Usopp to leave. "But," Usopp looked like he was about to say something. "It's nothing, let's go, you're really good at disguise!" Planck reassured, "But, where do we look?" Still, Usopp voiced his doubts. Belch! Robin, show the way! Planck sat down obediently.

Robin, who had no choice but to glance at Planck, began to analyze the place she thought was a treasure trove: "So, I think that the most heavily defended place on the central island of this fortress is the most heavily defended place here, that is, the other side of the dock we just broke out, and the blueprint shows that it is the treasure room prepared by this fortress, and our gold treasure may be hidden in that place." "Alright, let's go!" Luffy stood up and said confidently. "I don't think that commander is simple, this may be a trap for him, he already knows that Robin is a fake Lieutenant Colonel Shepat, and of course he knows the location of the treasure room, will he still hide the treasure there?" Planck, who had regained his composure, got rid of the interference caused by the loss of gold and calmly analyzed. "Maybe he'll be confident that he can clean us up, and just set up heavy troops in the treasure room to capture us!" Sauron also voiced his speculation. "Just in case, we'll have to split up in two ways, one team will go to the treasure room to find out, and the other team will go to another possible place!" Planck thought for a moment and continued to analyze, "Another possible place? Where would that be? Usopp was curious. Of course, he thinks it's the safest place, he has always been in Zhizhu to play us as monkeys, and he keeps killing moves step by step, so wise people believe in themselves the most! Robin analyzed. That's right, so I'm guessing that the other place to store gold would be his regular office. Planck answered the question. I see, it's possible! Sanji also gave his opinion. Then, let's not hesitate, Sanji, Luffy and I went to the commander's office in a group. The others will look for me in the treasure room! "Nami's final word, sure enough, this is the boss of the Straw Hats!" Yes, Nami-san, your most loyal knight is here! "Okay, that's it!"

As everyone responded, saying that they had learned about the plan of action and went their separate ways, Jonathan, who was sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai platform, also received a report from Major Drake. "The incompetence of the subordinates allowed the Straw Hat Boys to escape, no, to be precise, they disappeared!" Drake looked dejected, "Disappear?" Hahaha, Drake, don't linger in front of the door, I'll show you the way, go to the treasure room, you'll see a surprise! Jonathan wiped his beard and smirked. You mean? How could it be a commander? How could they possibly do this, is it really dead? Drake, who understood what the chief meant, asked with a shocked expression, he absolutely did not believe that such an idiot would appear. As long as they are pirates, they will come, because we have bait that they can't discard, and even if they die, they will gamble, so you can go and see our big fish, maybe I will catch a big fish too, hahahaha! Jonathan was still confidently comforting his men, he was quite confident in his strategy. Okay, I see, I'm going to go and block it! "Drake already admires this commander who can send the enemy to him again and again, so although he still thinks it's incredible, he still chooses to believe in his commander." Everyone, turn around and head to the treasure room! Gatekeepers and patrols continue to increase their vigilance! "After ordering the guards at the gate, Drake turned around with his pursuing party and rushed to the treasure room, this time he must catch the Straw Hats." It's getting interesting, Straw Hat Boys? What a bunch of interesting guys, bait down, fish still not hooked? Jonathan felt the hook sink and lifted it up, and a large fish was pulled out of the water.

The Straw Hats, who were running towards their intended goals, were finally about to start a break with this inexplicable fortress, and just when everyone was acting according to the movement of the chess pieces on Jonathan's chessboard, Lieutenant Colonel Shepat, who was sent by him, was not willing to be a dispensable supporting role, and the battle of the dockyard did not catch up, and this time the treasure room had to let the arrogant pirates and this group of incompetent navies see the methods of my Lieutenant Commander Shepat. Sheppat, who heard the news at the commander's door, did not enter, turned around and led the people towards the treasure room. "Wait, I've got a secret weapon! Hahahaha! With a wild laugh, Lieutenant Colonel Shepat disappeared into the passage.
