Chapter 66: The Horror Sea Beast
Each of the naval branches in the East China Sea has a clearly defined jurisdiction, and the responsibilities assigned to them by the naval headquarters are limited to ensuring the safety of the seas.
Therefore, as long as the case occurs outside their own jurisdiction, the branch navy can rightly throw the blame on the friendly army.
Without the direction of a superior officer or driven by a huge profit, these unrighteous branches of the navy will easily not enforce the law across jurisdictions.
However, due to the lack of armed forces of the local navy and the need to consider political influence, all the naval bases in the East China Sea were built around the borders of those countries that are members of the world government.
The result is this:
Outside the borders of the member countries of the World Government, the areas under which the branch naval area is not covered, and the headquarters navy does not pay attention to the three areas, there will always be countless pirates who have taken root here, or even directly occupied the land as the king.
The territory of the Klick Pirates is such an outlaw place, and it has been a famous pirate den in the East China Sea for many years.
But no navy came here to suppress the bandits, because the Klick Pirates were not as weak as Galen thought:
This kind of large pirate group with more than 1,000 people can no longer make a living by robbery alone, and the biggest income is still to run the territory and rule the people.
For a normal country, 5 percent of the total military population is considered to be a reckless force.
However, the Klick Pirates have more than 5,000 full-time professional combatants, which means that Klick has 100,000 population resources in his hands.
Coupled with the fact that there were dozens of islands in those three areas, and a sea territory that stretched for hundreds of miles, the power and status of the pirate Admiral Klick were no longer inferior to those of ordinary small kings.
The navy and the sea pirates who ruled the party in this way maintained a tacit understanding that they could not be put on the table, and they had been "at peace" for many years.
And this pirate kingdom in the East China Sea has an uninvited guest at this time.
Nami carefully manipulated the positioning sextant to measure the angles of the solar objects and sea level, and carefully recorded the measured parameters.
After some careful calculations, Nami came to the conclusion of the astronomical almanac and regional charts in hand:
"Galen, attention!"
"We've broken into the territory of the Klick Pirates."
"It's finally here!"
Galen, who was tired of seeing the scenery on the sea, shouted with some exaggeration.
Sea adventures are not as colorful as Galen imagined, and most of the time is a long and uninteresting voyage on the sea. Especially on a small boat with limited space and facilities like Galen's, time becomes even more difficult.
"Where?"
Galen stood on the bow of the ship and looked into the distance, and said a little strangely: "I don't see land?" ”
"This sea is already Klick's sphere of influence."
Nami patted the table lightly, and reiterated Klick's strength in front of Galen with a serious face:
"He's a sea thief who rules dozens of islands and rules hundreds of miles of sea!"
"Oh."
Galen didn't grasp Nami's warning words at all, and said with some disappointment:
"There's still a long way to go..."
"Ugh..."
Nami helplessly held her forehead, and sighed softly:
"I hope you're as good as you think, or we'll be doomed this time."
"Lord Galen will be able to do it."
Wallace, who was sitting quietly reading the newspaper, answered for Galen with confidence.
"There's a ship coming!"
Galen, who was standing at the bow of the ship, looked at the sea in the distance and suddenly exclaimed.
"What?"
Nami also stood up in shock, and rushed to Galen's side with another lunge:
"Is it a patrol ship of the Klick Pirates?"
Nami followed Galen's gaze, but immediately relieved herself-
The small sea ship didn't fly any pirate flags.
Nami could also see strange pulley arms diagonally on the deck of the ship, with many sturdy net ropes hanging from them.
Nami, who was born in a fishing village, of course knew that this was a winch machine for fishing and netting, so there was no doubt that the sailboat in front of her should also be a fishing boat.
What makes the ship even less threatening is:
Its hull was sunken in half and badly damaged, and its mast and sails were completely destroyed, and it could only be sailed by human oars.
"Is it a shipwreck?"
Nami looked at the ship in front of her and said a little strangely, "There's no storm around..."
The people on the shipwrecked fishing boat seemed to notice Galen's group, so they suddenly increased the speed of their oars and drove to the front of Galen's boat.
There were about a dozen men on the fishing boat, all with more or less frightened expressions on their faces.
When they came to Galen, they even opened their mouths directly to ask for help: "Help!
Galen asked unhurriedly:
"What's going on?"
An old man with gray temples and a wrinkled face, but with a body of dark knotted muscles, stepped forward.
Unlike other fishermen, the old man didn't have that panicked on his face.
But his slightly trembling voice still betrayed the fear in his heart:
"We've just been attacked by a terrifying sea beast!"
"Terror Sea Beasts?"
Nami retorted in disbelief:
"How can there be such a large sea beast that can attack sailing ships in the waters around here?"
Under Aaron's persecution and the cooperation of a group of fishmen, Nami drew almost the entire chart of the East China Sea.
In order to ensure the safety of navigation as much as possible, the colony of marine life in Nami's charts is also an extremely important piece of information, and she will never make mistakes with her professional rigor.
"We've never seen this before!"
The old man said with trepidation:
"But it just happened! And also attacked our fishing boats! ”
"Just appeared?"
Galen looked around, but could only see a sea that was too calm: "There is no trace of it!" ”
But the fishermen who were killed all looked panicked, not at all like a fake.
According to the fishermen, they mismaneuvered in the early stages of their fishing operations and used their harpoons to provoke a boat-swallowing beast they had never seen in their lives.
Luckily, the beast didn't seem to take them seriously, and only attacked the fishing boat once before sinking into the sea and disappearing.
But of course, the fishermen did not dare to put their lives on the mood of the fierce beast, so they had to row desperately to escape from this sea.
"Excuse me!"
The leading old man politely bowed slightly to Galen, and pleaded:
"Our ship's mast is broken, and it is difficult for us to return to the sea with manpower."
"I hope you can help us tug the boat back to port."
"No problem."
Galen readily agreed to the other party's request, and then asked:
"Who are you? Which island are you heading back to? ”
The old man said in a deep voice:
"I'm the captain of this fishing boat, Tex."
"We're all fishermen under Master Crick."
"Click?"
Galen was a little stunned and said, "You guys are from the Klick Pirates? ”
"No, we're just laborers of the Pirates."
The captain of the fishing boat, Tex, hurriedly explained:
"Please rest assured!"
"Although this is the territory of the Klick Pirates, they will only charge protection fees for passing merchant ships."
"As long as you don't break into the base camp of the Klick Pirates, they won't embarrass an ordinary ship like you."
He bowed deeply again, his voice full of helplessness and a different kind of humility:
"Please help us!"
"This fishing boat is also the property of Master Crick, and we can't afford to lose it anyway."
"Well..."
Galen casually agreed, wanting to learn more about the Klick Pirates from the local fisherman in front of him.
But at this moment, a huge shadow suddenly appeared under the calm sea surface around him.
"That terrifying sea beast has reappeared!"
A frightened fisherman spotted the dark shadow and immediately screamed: "Help! ”
"What?!"
Galen immediately turned on the digital combat mode, and a white suit was transformed into a gorgeous set of armor in an instant, and a wide sword appeared in his empty hand.
However, the fishermen were not in the mood to pay attention to this magical scene, and only looked at the terrifying beast that gradually surfaced on the side with shocked expressions.
"Don't panic."
Galen clenched his sword tightly and comforted the shivering fishermen in a deep voice:
"I can protect you!"
With that, Galen tensed up and stood two steps forward, ready to jump into the sea and fight the unknown beast for three hundred rounds.
The terrifying sea beast that terrified the fishermen finally slowly surfaced—
It was worthy of the name "Terror Sea Beast", and was larger than Galen's galleon and the Dexters fishing boat combined, and it brought with it huge waves as soon as it emerged from the bottom of the sea.
As soon as the big eyes that radiated a vicious light appeared on the surface of the water, they shocked the fishermen into a cold sweat and did not dare to move.
I saw that the lower half of the terrifying sea beast was covered with hideous fish scales, but the upper half of the body was a fierce and vicious one...
Big cows.
"Huh?"
Galen looked at this familiar big face and put down the big sword in his hand in amazement.
"Moo?"
The terrifying sea beast glanced back at Galen blankly, and its domineering appearance was suddenly stuck in halfway.
