Chapter 33: The Chaser
Port terminals.
Under the greedy gaze of many people, the branches of the huge treasure tree Adam were firmly tied, and Rhodes reached out and pushed it into the water.
The branches of Adam, the treasure tree of 200 million Bailey, are a little red for anyone, but the scene of Rhodes' killing a few days ago is still vivid, even if they have thoughts, most of the pirates are watching from afar.
"After getting the branch of the treasure tree Adam, if he builds another powerful pirate ship, I'm afraid the navy will no longer be able to help him."
"Hey, I don't think the navy will let him easily turn Baoshu Adam into a ship, maybe the encirclement army is already on the way at this moment."
Many people looked at Rhodes' ship from afar and talked about it.
Rhodes ignored the stares around him, and after pushing the ship's log into the water, he asked the ship's handyman to untie the ropes, pull up the anchor, and slowly sail out of the harbor.
"To Boatmantown."
There is an island to the east of Hananokuni, which is a famous shipwright town, one of the places with the most shipbuilding in the West Sea, and the town is inhabited by either boatmen or shipwright apprentices.
The most important keel of the new ship is already there, and the rest of the materials, which can also be bought in the shipwright's town, have more than 90 million Baileys left, which is enough.
On deck.
Rhodes glanced at the scenery in the distance and said, "When a new ship is built, it will be on the agenda to embark on the great voyage." ”
"The Great Voyage ......"
Robin stood aside, a glimmer of brilliance flashed in her eyes as calm as the sea, and the only thing she longed for was to find the historical text tablets scattered around the world and decipher the secrets of a hundred years of blankness.
And things like the historical text stele, judging from the intelligence she has secretly collected over the years, most of them are on the great route.
The great route, known as the grave of the pirates, is naturally full of dangers, and from time to time there will be news that the strongest pirates in a certain sea area have been completely defeated in the great route, but it is the place where she must go if she wants to achieve her goal.
She silently glanced at Rhodes' back.
For some reason, she had an inexplicable feeling that if she had been following Rhodes, it seemed that she really had hope of accomplishing her somewhat unattainable goal.
As the ship moved, the islands of the country of flowers gradually blurred in view, and they were already gradually moving away from the islands.
And just as the island of the country of flowers gradually turned into a small black dot, in the direction of the country of flowers, there was a faint shadow of a ship, and the followers chased after it.
Robin quickly spotted the ship that was quickly catching up.
"Captain Rhodes, we seem to be being targeted."
"Oh? Navy? ”
"It seems to be the Eight Treasures Naval Army of the Flower Country."
Robin and Rhodes came to the stern of the boat, looking at the ship from afar, Robin's eyes flickered slightly.
As the ship got closer, its shape became clearer and clearer, and although it was large, it was indeed not a naval warship.
"That's right."
Rhodes looked at the ship's pirate flag, and did not show any surprise, and said calmly: "After all, it is a country of pirates, how can I take away the treasure tree Adam worth 200 million Bailey so easily." ”
Rhodes' ship was a schooner, but it was carrying a heavy branch of the treasure tree Adam, which greatly affected its speed, and it didn't take long for it to be overtaken by the pirate ships of the Flower Country.
On the pirate ship of the country of flowers, a large number of pirates with weapons in their hands gathered.
Maybe the other pirates were frightened by the slaughter of Rhodes and didn't dare to make trouble, but they were different, they were the Eight Treasure Navy, who had a great reputation on the Great Route!
"Sure enough, I can't run fast with a piece of wood."
Abu, the younger brother of Lao Cai, a cadre of the Eight Treasures Water Army and the deputy pillar of Lao Cai, was standing on the deck with three axes on his back, looking at the ghost hand pirate ship in the distance, and he grinned.
Lao Cai, the deputy pillar of the pillar, stood in front of Abu with a small long-handled naginata, looking ahead with an old-fashioned and serious expression.
The leader Qingjiao is not here, and he is in charge of the ship.
It is now the eleventh year of the era of the sea pirates, Lao Cai has not yet taken over the position of the pillar of the Eight Treasures Water Army, and Abu is just an ordinary cadre, but both of them have followed the leader Qingjiao and galloped on the great voyage.
"Report! Enemy ships have already entered the shelling range. ”
As the two ships got closer and closer, members of the Eight Treasure Naval Army stepped forward to report.
"Don't shell."
Lao Cai shook his head and said, "Don't break that piece of wood, it's worth 200 million Bailey." ”
Abu tilted his head and said, "The material of Adam the treasure tree shouldn't be so easy to break, right...... But forget it, they can't run away with shelling. ”
The two ships are getting closer and closer.
The two sides don't need to use binoculars, and they can almost see the people on both sides of the ship.
"At the bow of the boat are Lao Cai and Abu, the thirteenth generation deputy pillars of the Eight Treasures Water Army, and the leader Qingjiao has not been found." Robin whispered at Rhodes as he scouted.
Rhodes nodded.
Qing Jiao, the leader of the 500 million bounty, is not a character he can deal with now, if Qing Jiao is on that ship, he can only find a way to destroy the ship of the Eight Treasure Water Army and escape.
If the green pepper is not there...... A chill flashed in Rhodes' eyes.
He looked at the ship of the Eight Treasures Navy from afar, judged the distance between the two ships, and said in a calm tone.
"Keep your distance, I'll go back as soon as I go."
When Rhodes's voice echoed in Robin's ears, his whole person had already come to mid-air, raised his feet and took two steps in the air, and the whole person directly crossed the sea, crossed an arc, and fell towards the ship of the Eight Treasures Water Army.
Under the somewhat surprised gaze of the many pirates of the Eight Treasure Water Army, Rhodes landed at the back of their deck and landed smoothly.
"Huh."
"Moonwalk?"
Abu and Lao Cai turned their heads and looked at Rhodes, their eyes showed a little different color, and they followed the leader Qingjiao through the great voyage, their knowledge was naturally not shallow, and the footwork of Yuebu was still recognized.
The ability of the moon step is an extremely difficult category in the six styles of the navy, even in the navy, only officers above the rank of general will use the moon step, and Rhodes will use the moon step to make them a little surprised.
But.
Even if he could rush to their ship alone with the moon steps, he would be too arrogant and didn't take them seriously at all.
Although Rhodes is known as the most vicious pirate in the Western Sea, it is limited to the Western Sea, and it is nothing to those of them who have been on the Great Voyage.
"The most vicious pirate in the West Sea, his courage is really not small, how much ability he has, let me see it."
Abu took an axe from his back, motioned for the many ordinary pirates around him to stand down, grinned, and headed for Rhodes.
Lao Cai originally planned to do it himself, but when he saw that Abu had already walked up, he didn't stop him, but folded his hands on his chest and stood in place to watch.
However.
Just as Abu walked up to Rhodes, Rhodes suddenly stepped on his feet, and a strange force fell directly on the plank.
Click! Click!
The power of the twisted fruit centered on the area where Rhodes stepped on it, and it spread rapidly in all directions, and a strange twist appeared in the middle of the entire ship.
"Damn! This guy wants to wreck our ship! ”
Abu was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of anger, roared angrily, and the whole person jumped up, rushing towards Rhodes at the same time, the axe in his hand slashed down.
