Chapter 291: Information Blockade
Located not far from the entrance to the New World, Punk Hazard was originally a biochemical experiment base for the Navy's scientific department.
More than a year ago, Punk Hazard was destroyed by an accidental explosion and was eventually completely abandoned by the Navy.
In the eyes of outsiders, it is an uninhabited island with no grass.
But Galen knew:
It is likely that the area has been overrun by Doflamingo's collaborator, the evil scientist Caesar Courant, and has become a criminal stronghold for the production of artificial Devil Fruit ingredients and illegal human experimentation.
And the one who has been responsible for covering up the shady scenes of Punk Hazard is the base commander of the G5 base, Virgo.
The study of artificial devil fruits is crucial to Doflamingo, and it is the key to his ability to reach Kaido's thighs, and Galen has reason to believe:
Allowing Smoker, a well-known admiral, to go to that island "by mistake" would surely cause Virgo to tear his face out of his mind and reveal his true face as a criminal.
"Understood."
After listening to Galen's explanation, Smoker nodded seriously:
"In that case, then I'll accompany you on a trip to Cyberpunk Hazard first."
"Good!"
Galen nodded in satisfaction, and said in high spirits:
"Then let's get going!"
"We'll find out what the punk Hazard is hiding today."
"Today?"
Smoker was keenly aware of the time:
"You want to get to Punk Hazard today? My warship can't fly! β
"Hahaha..."
Galen laughed meaningfully:
"It doesn't matter if your boat can't fly, I'll make it fly."
After a few moments, the warship that Galen and his party were riding on finally surfaced and reached the waters of the New World.
Smoker then immediately turned his puzzled gaze to Galen to see how Galen could get the warship flying.
"Smoker..."
"You should know that I can use multiple levels of fruit abilities, right?"
Galen asked, somewhat smugly.
"Yes."
Smoker nodded.
This ability, which can no longer be explained by the "knight's fruit", has long been known to everyone.
"So..."
Galen pressed his hand to the deck of the warship and shouted decently: "Get up! β
Then, the towering warship was instantly free from the constraints of gravity and slowly floated out of the sea.
But in the blink of an eye, the warship flew to an altitude of thousands of meters and danced with the stratus clouds, and it was still climbing higher and farther.
The sailors on the warship were too frightened by the vision to speak loudly, and Smoker looked at Galen with a hint of surprise:
Galen's performance was just too easy.
Let such a large warship take off into the air, he didn't seem to use any strength.
But...
Galen didn't actually use much strength, he just pretended to be using the ability of the fluttering fruit.
Although he was able to temporarily borrow the power of the golden lion, he also had the golden lion appear in front of him.
And with the sensitive identity of the golden lion, he is not suitable to appear in front of so many navies.
So, at this moment, at the bottom of the warship, which no one notices...
The golden lion smoked a cigar in the cold wind, and at the same time carried the warship forward with a cold face.
"I'm going to kill this kid sooner or later."
I don't know how many times it was, the golden lion issued this declaration full of blood and tears in his heart.
.............................................
The warship has been climbing in the air, gradually approaching 10,000 meters in the air.
The higher he flew, the more nervous Galen's mood became.
Finally, the warship flew to the intended position.
In the eyes of the naval soldiers, a huge silver-white airship appeared, and a huge rock carrying a giant snail.
They maintained a safe distance of nearly a kilometer from the warship, but their sheer size still made them stand out as if they were close at hand.
"Then this is also flying by your ability?"
Smoker looked at the boulder, which was almost the size of a small island, and immediately gained a deeper understanding of Galen's power.
"That's right."
Galen continued to attribute the Golden Lion's strength, but his tone was a little nervous.
His nervousness wasn't lying, but because...
He's about to meet Nami.
"Galen!"
Nami had already seen Galen standing at the bow of the warship, so she greeted Galen through the porthole of the airship.
"Whew-"
Galen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Seeing Nami's smile full of sunshine and enthusiasm as usual, Galen knew that what he had committed under the sea yesterday had not yet been known to Nami.
Galen smiled back and flew back to the airship with Smoker and Dusty to reunite with Nami.
"Galen!"
"You're finally back!"
Although they had only seen each other for a day, Nami was still very engaged in giving Galen a deep hug.
Then, she greeted the two old friends who had known each other in the East China Sea warmly:
"Smoker! Dusty! β
"Long time no see."
It was a wonderful experience to meet an old acquaintance in a foreign country thousands of miles away, which was less than a month after being separated from each other in the East China Sea.
"Yes."
Smoker nodded indifferently.
"Hello Miss Nami..."
Dusty's smile was a little forced.
When she saw Nami and Galen's amiable appearance, she knew in her heart that Nami didn't know the bad news yet.
"What's wrong?"
Nami faintly sensed some subtle atmosphere.
"No, nothing..."
Dusty is not good at panicking, and his face suddenly became even more wrong.
"Hahaha..."
Galen smiled awkwardly, afraid that Dusty would show something in front of Nami.
"Dusty left a lot of psychological shadows in the Fish-Man Island riot yesterday, and it hasn't eased up until now."
Galen casually found an excuse to fool the past, and then changed the subject:
"Don't worry about this for now, Nami, you better arrange a route to Punk Hazard first!"
"Oh..."
Nami was a little suspicious in her heart, but she didn't pursue it much.
Dusty finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Galen was even more relieved.
His current coping strategy is like repaying Huabei's loan, and it can be delayed for a day.
However, there was a sudden change.
In the blue sky in the distance, a small and terrifying black dot appeared.
The black spot was so far away that only the powerful Galen could see it on the entire air-conditioner.
Galen's gaze instantly became extremely solemn, and his tone was full of bitterness:
"It's finally hereβ"
"Dead birds..."
I saw that in the vast sky, there was a seabird with a strange package on its back and flying with its wings.
That's the newspaper bird.
There is no place in the world where these newspaper sellers can't fly, including the airboat that Galen is 10,000 meters above him.
Galen dodged out without thinking, and stepped away with the moon steps.
Eventually, Galen stood in the way of the newspaper bird.
"Goo-"
The newspaper bird was startled by the sudden appearance of Galen, and almost fell into the sea with his neck crooked.
"Say no more."
Galen took out a large stack of Bailey that he had prepared a long time ago, and without saying a word, he stuffed it into the newspaper bird's package:
"I've got all the newspapers you sell!"
"Goo-goo?"
The newspaper bird's eyes revealed human doubts.
They have extremely high IQs and can not only sell newspapers, but can even bargain with humans.
So, the newspaper bird immediately noticed:
Galen gave so much money that he couldn't even sell the newspaper with the birds.
"No need to look for money!"
Galen snatched all the newspapers from the newspaper bird's package, and said angrily:
"You just take the money and go, the farther away from here, the better!"
As he spoke, Galen impatiently chased away the newspaper bird, picked up another newspaper and glanced at it:
"Seven Martial Sea Galen and the princess of Fish-Man Island tie the knot, Doflamingo may become the biggest loser"
Take a look at the cover picture again...
It turned out to be a snap photo of Shirahoshi snuggling tightly in his arms when he was out of control...
β......β
Galen crumpled the newspapers into a ball and said to himself indignantly:
"You really got me the news so soon!"
"What kind of devil fruit did this group of reporters eat to run so fast?"
But at this point, Galen can only strictly prevent Nami from seeing these newspapers for the time being, and continue his "dancing on the tip of the knife" information blockade operation.
"Ugh..."
Galen let out a long sigh and raised his great sword in his hand:
"Wrath of Justice!"
In the flames of justice, the mass of newspapers was completely reduced to ashes.
Galen carefully confirmed that there would be no shards left with words on them, and then hurriedly turned and returned to the empty boat.
Nami was still busy calculating the astronomical positioning and charting the course for the airship, but she didn't notice the small movement that Galen had just slipped out quietly.
"Good."
Galen nodded in satisfaction, feeling only that he had managed to buy himself a day to maneuver.
But...
After the airship had been flying for a while, many small black dots appeared outside the sky.
"Coming back?"
Galen was completely stunned:
This time it was not only the newsbirds, but a whole newsbird formation.
Their eyes flashed with excitement, and they were loaded with information bombs and launched a decisive assault on Galen's airship.
In order to get rid of the news bird, Galen gave it a handful of Bailey...
This is equivalent to putting out fires with salary, and it has aroused the desire of news birds to deliver newspapers.
"Okay!"
"You can't feed you!"
Galen hated it so much that he had to resort to a killer move: "Anilu! β
"How?"
Anilu had been studying with Luo on the side, but when he heard Galen's call, he habitually replied:
"Someone has electricity again?"
"No, no, no..."
Galen shook his head and said solemnly:
"I'm going to give you some advice on cultivation:"
"You put aside the cultivation of physical arts first, and spend some effort on the control of the domineering ability and fruit ability."
"Huh?"
Anilu was a little puzzled.
Galen explained with an unchanged face:
"You first open your heart net and explore the surrounding environment."
"Oh."
Anilu nodded, and then used his unique electrical signal to see and hear domineering.
"Did you find anything?"
Galen is a good follower.
"Except for the Navy soldiers on the warship in the distance, there were only a few birds."
Anilu replied earnestly.
"Yes, that's good."
Galen patted Anilu on the shoulder with satisfaction and encouraged:
"It's ready to be discharged."
"But..."
Anilu carefully examined the news birds that had flown close with his eyes:
"Isn't that a newsbird?"
"Didn't you say before that you can't hurt these newspaper sellers at will?"
"That's right."
Galen earnestly explained:
"This is exercising your control over the ability of the fruit!"
"I ask you to use electricity to drive all those birds away from thousands of meters away without harming their lives."
"Come on!"
"For the next few days, you're going to train specifically for this."
