Chapter 135: Multi-party convergence
"It's simple, because according to the information I received, the East China Sea pirate named Xia Nuo was hiding in a caravan, and in the early hours of the morning, the caravan had already arrived on Duru Island."
"So you disappeared for a while when you were anchored in the harbor before, did you go to that caravan?" Drake's reaction was quick, and he understood Ali immediately.
"Yes, with the breadth of the Great Voyage, it is too difficult to track down a bounty, especially when the other party has been relatively low-key. Starting with the caravan in the East China Sea naturally became the best way. โ
Stoloberg withdrew his gaze from the distant sea and looked at Drake, still without the slightest expression on his face, "Although the hostess of the caravan quibbled and denied its connection to the target, fortunately, under the temptation of some profits, the rest of the people on the ship could not all maintain their original attitudes, and we also got some relatively useful information. โ
Hearing this, a hint of mockery appeared in the corners of Drake's eyes.
However, he covered it up very well, and Stoloberry on the opposite side did not notice it, and continued to say calmly: "Just four hours ago, the target had left Duru Island and was heading along the westernmost route, what does this mean, you should know, right?" โ
"The speed of an ordinary pirate ship is far from comparable to that of a warship, which means that as long as you follow this route and liaise with the navy of the nearby branch, the chances of arresting the other party are quite high."
Drake nodded, then frowned again, "In that case, then why did you order to deviate from the course and go to Sea 26?" Wouldn't it be better to go straight to Sanfadru? โ
Stoloberg glanced at him, didn't explain anything, just took out a folded document from his arms and handed it over, and said lightly: "After reading this, you will understand." โ
Drake took the newspaper and just glanced at it, his face changed, and when he read everything on it, his face was already blue.
"These guys really like to cause trouble for people......" Stoloberry sighed slightly when he saw Drake's reaction, "Now you understand, why did the attitude of the Goa Kingdom suddenly change in the last few days of your escort mission?" โ
"Ah, that's probably clear......"
Slowly folding the document back and putting it away, Drake took a deep breath, raised his head, and said with an ugly face: "Even the royal princess of the World Government member country dares to kidnap and trade, those fools, don't you know how much trouble you have caused yourself?" โ
This year is the year 1514 of the Haiyuan calendar.
The quadrennial World Conference was held as scheduled in the Holy Land of Mary Joy. More than 50 member states from all over the world send royal families to the conference to discuss issues related to security and order around the world.
This year's World Conference lasted longer than all the meetings in recent years, because among the topics, an unprecedented issue has emerged that has caused the vast majority of countries to be extremely worried and concerned:
Revolutionary.
This year, the revolutionary Monchi ยท The revolutionary army led by D. Dorag has developed in full swing all over the world, overthrowing the rule of several countries in a row in just a few months, and has become the biggest threat in the eyes of the world government.
It is precisely because of this that the process of the conference, which began in September, was delayed and extended until the end of October, when the royal families of the major member states began to return from Mary Joy to their territories.
So, Drake, who was on rest in the headquarters base, received such a task, leading the fleet to escort the royal family of the Goya Kingdom across the windless belt to the East China Sea.
The journey was very smooth, needless to say, there was no wind, under normal circumstances, only the navy warships with the sea tower stone inlaid at the bottom could pass through, and after entering the East China Sea, the three warships of the Navy Headquarters were enough to scare off most of the pirates, and even if some did not come over with a long eye, they were easily solved by Drake, the rear admiral of the headquarters.
As a result, just when the warship arrived smoothly and the royal family was overjoyed to prepare for a farewell banquet for the navy, a quick letter sent urgently from the capital made the king of the Goya Kingdom directly change his face, and without explaining the situation to him or making any reservations, he unceremoniously blew away all these navies in the headquarters.
This made Drake feel uncomfortable all the time on the return trip, and even after receiving a call from Stoloberry halfway through, he rushed to the Great Voyage to meet with him.
But he can't do anything, although the rear admiral of the Navy Headquarters is indeed an incredible identity in the eyes of ordinary people, but the royal families of those member countries really don't take this kind of thing seriously, let alone the royal family of the Goya Kingdom, which is more looked down upon by the world's nobles than the rest of the countries.
Now, the answer is finally clear......
"Some people always think that their racial identity can shelter everything."
Stoloberry's flat voice came from the front, but when it fell on Drake's ears, he vaguely sensed a chill from it, "It's a pity that the frog at the bottom of the well is still the frog at the bottom of the well after all, they don't know that when the bottom line is violated, whether it is the little privilege given before, or the one in the new world who traded with them, they can no longer form any effective protective net, and the muzzle of justice will eventually shatter everything." โ
Drake looked at this upright-looking boss and felt the same way, but when he remembered some racial grievances involved in Stoloberg nearly ten years ago, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a little disapproval.

"It's almost there."
On the broad eagle's back, Xia Nuo, who was half-lying, suddenly sat up straight, looked at the sea in front of him, and reminded him.
Beside him, Kidd and Kira's spirits lifted at the same time, and they looked at each other, and sure enough, in the slightly easterly position in front of them, a crescent-shaped island appeared, but the island was shrouded in a faint layer of fog, making it impossible to see the specific situation on the island.
"What a strange place......
After looking at it for a while, Kidd couldn't help but scratch his hair, turned back to Xia Nuo and said, "Hey, I said, even if this ugly fishman attacked us, it wouldn't be long before we killed him, why do we have to go to that island?" It always feels dangerous! โ
"Are you scared?" Xano glanced at him.
"Nonsense, who's afraid?!" Kidd immediately exploded in anger and yelled at Xia Nuo, "I just want to ask you why, okay?" Don't forget, Uncle Ben is a sea thief with a reward of 12 million! โ
"Yes, yes, I can't afford to mess with it, I can't afford to mess with it."
Xia Nuo pursed his lips, slowly stood up, his eyes fell on the black belt that was paralyzed into mud on the ground, and after a while of silence, he smiled: "If you really want to say it, it is probably driven by some kind of adventurous spirit, huh...... It might be more fun to walk around than on a regular route, right? โ
