"Mr. Smoker! There's another unknown fleet ahead! ”

On the vast sea, three navy warships lined up, and in front of the deck of the warship in the middle, a black-haired girl wearing glasses suddenly lowered her binoculars and turned back and shouted.

"Ah, I saw it too."

Smoker still maintained his shirtless appearance, with a cigar in his mouth, and looked ahead expressionlessly, "Go, send someone forward, inquire about the other party's origins, and if it is suspicious, carry out a search operation as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes!"

Dusty saluted him without hesitation, and then hurried towards the communications room in the rear cabin.

In a short time, the warship on the right, which was slightly smaller on the right, received the order and took the initiative to move forward, and then slowly approached the main ship of the Drummond family's caravan. A naval captain boarded the ship with a dozen soldiers and talked to Yarrita and the others, who had taken the initiative to meet them.

"It's really extraordinary......"

On the third ship, Xia Nuo had quietly retreated to the second floor, watching the situation over there through the porthole, and after scanning the warship and the main ship back and forth, he frowned slightly and muttered:

"There are actually three warships, this is already a very strong lineup in the East China Sea...... Where is the navy? ”

……………………

"Report! Mr. Smoker, according to the news from Captain Larry earlier, this caravan belongs to the Drummond family, and this time it is also led by the mistress of the Drummond family to make a deal on the Great Voyage! ”

On the deck, Dusty put down the phone bug he had just picked up and said to Smoker with a serious face.

"Hmm...... The Drummonds? ”

Smoker's brows furrowed slightly, "If I'm not mistaken, this family seems to be one of the largest business families in the East China Sea, right?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Smoker!" Dusty recalled, and added: "And according to the local family credit history, this family has always had a good reputation, without any illegal records, and has also helped the navy of other branches to exterminate several batches of pirates!" ”

"That's right......" Smoker narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he said lightly:

"Since there's no problem with the origin, let Larry come back, let them go, and continue to check the next fleet. Our naval branch still needs the support of this kind of local big family, and we can't offend it too much. ”

"Yes!"

Dusty hurriedly saluted, then took a step back slightly, bowed his head and whispered to the phone bug.

A moment later, Captain Larry, who had received the order to retreat without hesitation, returned to the warship with his men, and with the release of the navy, the Drummond caravan finally set sail again, heading for the Upside-Down Hill, which was visible beyond the horizon.

"The sword hero who came out of the East China Sea, the 'wind' Xia Nuo ......"

Retracting his gaze from the fleet, Smoker slowly exhaled a puff of smoke rings, looked at the sea in the distance with a cold gaze, and muttered: "It is definitely my dereliction of duty to let this kind of sea thief with a reward of nearly 100 million yuan appear in the East China Sea, no matter what, I will reduce you in the East China Sea, and I will definitely not give you the opportunity to go to the great voyage." ”

More than a week ago, the 16th Colonel Rat was killed, and the mastermind Xia Nuo still retreated unscathed under the siege, after the publicity of many media on the spot, instantly spread throughout the sea, in many places, and even the Navy headquarters, caused a great shock.

Especially after figuring out what happened before and after, and investigating the identity of Xia Nuo's other representative "justice", many people in the navy felt like they had been slapped in the face, and their faces were hot. The Lieutenant General of the Headquarters Flying Squirrel regarded this matter as one of the biggest shames of the year, and attached great importance to it, first raising Xiano's bounty to a level far beyond that of the East China Sea, and then giving a death order to Smoker, who had just arrived in Rogue Town, asking him to solve Xiano, who was still at large, in the shortest possible time.

Live or die.

However, the East China Sea is so big, after receiving the order from the upper peak, although Smoker also wants to take Xia no as soon as possible, he can't drive the warship around every day to search, right? So he could only make this decision, choosing to stop in front of the upside-down mountain during the time when the wind was at its tightest, and gamble his luck to see if he could meet each other here.

After all, many pirates who have raised their bounties and fame will choose to leave their homeland and go to the great route to adventure, so the chance of success of this choice is not small, not to mention, the biggest purpose of the headquarters when he sent him to sit in Rogue Town was to strangle the pirates who failed to grow up in the cradle in this throat position, so he didn't lose anything, even if he was unlucky and didn't meet Xia Nuo, he casually collected some small shrimp that didn't know whether to live or die, and it was a big harvest to accumulate.

……………………

"It's good that nothing happened......"

Behind the porthole, seeing that the distance between the naval warship and his side was getting farther and farther, Xia Nuo breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and walked towards his room.

Although for him at the moment, the ordinary East China Sea Navy is no longer a threat, but that is also a point, in this kind of juncture that is about to cross the upside-down mountain, Xia Nuo is not willing to provoke any moths because of himself, which will not only delay his voyage, but also bring a lot of trouble to the caravan that is willing to carry him.

Back in the blink of an eye, Xia Nuo closed the door, sat down on the edge of the bed, pulled out Jep's logbook, and read it with relish.

In the past few days, his life has been quite boring to be honest, there is no suitable place for him to practice his skills on the ship, except for eating and sleeping and playing Xiaoluo in his free time, he can only barely maintain his life by lying in bed and reading this log.

I have to say that the experience of Zhepu and his party can be described as full of twists and turns, and after Xia Nuo briefly flipped through it at the beginning, he couldn't help but go back and pick out some details and read them several times. The only pity is that since his arrival in the Chambord Islands, the record in this journal has ended, so Xano still doesn't know if Jep has ever been to the New World.

"Speaking of which, I'm going to go over the upside-down mountain later......"

After reading two or three pages, Xia Nuo suddenly remembered something, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes fell on the open window, "Xiao Luo, that guy, it seems that he went out to fish and eat in the afternoon, and it's almost sunset...... It's time to come back, right? ”
