"If only I knew." Bucky said with some annoyance. Because of Qingzhi here, his little heart can't bear it, and he worries and fears all day long, and he can't even sleep well.

Bucky couldn't figure out the purpose of the child, and if there was any purpose for the child, he couldn't tell what the lazy behavior was these days. And with its strength, there is no need to engage in this set at all, and it can crush them with its strength.

Bucky lowered his voice, and he whispered back to Jep, "Maybe something is wrong, the good warship doesn't wait, but the little broken ship." ”

"Mei Li is not a little broken ship!" Usopp retorted.

"With this hull structure, it's not even as good as my original ship, and it's not a small broken ship?" Bucky said.

"Merry has a soul!" Usopp said excitedly.

"Soul?" Bucky only thought it was ridiculous, but he didn't argue with Usopp, it wasn't a good thing to wake up the young star.

Nami didn't let the noisy atmosphere continue, and when she confirmed that Nami was asleep again, she whispered, "Now our fleet is sailing back to the East China Sea from the Great Route."

"It's that hateful bastard who made our journey some time ago go to waste, I'm going to be the man of One Piece!"

"Shut up!" Nami whispered, her fist striking Luffy's head with force, obviously not attached to the domineering, but effectively making Luffy flinch.

"Now all I have to do is draw the course and find out the Admiral's purpose, and you have a vital matter to do in this matter." Nami said solemnly.

Everyone cheered up and waited for what Nami was going to say next.

"Take care of Luffy, don't let him get near the deck!"

These are words that seem abrupt, but no one doubts the accuracy of this sentence, and it is indeed a crucial thing. It's too dangerous to let Luffy continue to stay on the deck, this danger doesn't refer to Luffy but to them, if you make it difficult for Qingzhi in advance because of Luffy's relationship, it will be too late to regret it at that time.

However, there was one person who showed obvious disbelief, and that was Luffy, who asked, "Huh? Why is it important to take care of me? Nami, are you mistaken? ”

"I'm not mistaken! Now you obediently stay in the cabin! ”

"I don't want it! I'm the captain! ”

"But you owe me money, and you have to listen to me until it runs out." Nami said like an exploiter of capital.

……

East China Sea

The naval fleet led by Peach Rabbit and Tea Dolphin has already conducted a round of investigation.

There was caution in Peachrabbit's eyes, and after the investigation was over, things were far worse than she had predicted. The East China Sea is the most peaceful sea, and it can also be called the weakest sea, and in the face of such a beast that can cause turmoil even in the great shipping routes, not many people have the ability to resist, and often a single beast has the power to destroy a town on an island.

Peach Rabbit took out the drawn chart and checked it again, she was a careful person, and she hoped that her carefulness would help justice.

During this cross-sea patrol, she recorded the route in the chart, and the two routes were interspersed to form a spider-like search web, and on this web she also marked the place where the beast was found in a special color. Based on this information, as well as the destruction of the island, and the clues provided by the survivors, she was able to determine the direction and location of the enemy's advance.

Prior to this, the headquarters was contacted to send additional local navies to explore the area.

“.. The search net is partially missing, and the search for enemies is greatly slowed down, and although it is possible to roughly determine the location, it is still difficult to determine. It is often much harder to find than to hide. Tea Dolphin said on the side, and he reminded in a low voice: "Peach Rabbit.. You need to take a break, and overwork won't solve the problem. ”

Peach Rabbit didn't listen to his advice, she continued to stare at the chart to find the information, and said even more coldly: "If the young general can also search, then the information can be clearer, and the real part can be completed, this has already been arranged, but he is missing?" Listening to the information reported by the navy, it seems that he has left with a group of pirates. ”

In the absence of youth, Peach Rabbit did not dare to let the Navy warship act alone. With the weapons equipped on the warship, she may be able to deal with one or two beasts, but the casualties it needs to pay are not something she wants to see, so after Qingzhi "disappeared", she sent the two warships back.

The tea dolphin was a little embarrassed, he knew what Peach Rabbit meant by saying this now. The "disappearance" of the young general was not unrelated to him, and the young general informed him of the news early in the morning, which was actually asking him to prepare in advance. And because of the agreement with the young general, he did not inform Peach Rabbit of the news. Of course, this is also thanks to the relationship between the different routes of the mission, so that things can be hidden for so long, otherwise he will not be able to hide any news in front of Peach Rabbit, the most beloved woman.

"I didn't mean to blame you." Peach Rabbit added.

The tea dolphin's head was lowered, and he always felt that in front of love and the chief, he chose the chief.

Looking at the expression of the tea dolphin, Peach Rabbit frowned and said: "I hate cowardly men the most, now is not the time to make you sad, the persecution of Donghai is even more serious than imagined, how about putting away the cowardice and putting it on the residents?" ”

"I see." The tea dolphin raised his head and put away his cowardice. He may like Peach Rabbit because of her toughness that is different from other women. It's just that her appearance and figure are not excluded. He reminded: "Before setting off from the headquarters, the Warring States Marshal explained that this time the chaos in the East China Sea may have been initiated by the Golden Lion Shiji. ”

For a legendary-level character like the Golden Lion Shiji, Peach Rabbit does not dare to underestimate it in the slightest. This is a character who can fight with the Warring States Marshal and the hero Lieutenant General Karp, even though the times have changed, but this strength has not faded until this moment.

"Piao Piao fruit, that's a tricky ability." Peach Rabbit bluntly said that even among the Devil Fruit data recorded by the Navy, the Fluttering Fruit can definitely rank among the top in terms of trickiness, and this is partly due to the influence of the Golden Lion Shiji, and the ability of the Devil Fruit has always been closely related to the use of the ability. "If it's him, the young general must be retrieved, otherwise... There is no certainty of victory. ”

"It's tricky indeed." Cha Dolphin agreed, "The Golden Lion Shiki is the one who once plunged the world into turmoil, and when he invaded the Navy Headquarters, there was such a rumor that if it weren't for the Sengoku Marshal and the hero Karp, the entire Navy Headquarters would be easily lifted by him. ”

In the eyes of the tea dolphin, although this rumor is exaggerated, it is also relished, because it disguises the strength of Sengoku and Karp in the navy. With the existence of such two guardian gods, the navy can be said to be impregnable.

"Lift?" Peach Rabbit muttered to herself, she suddenly realized one thing, if the enemy was really the Golden Lion Shiki, then was it a mistake to search the sea from the beginning?

The navy searched the sea and found no news, which made her wonder if there was a mistake in the inference, which is why she kept her attention on the charts.

But what if it wasn't above the sea from the beginning, but in the air? Then no matter how carefully you explore, you won't be able to find out. This place also explains why so many ferocious beasts have appeared without a trace, as if out of thin air.

“.. Explore the air. Peach Rabbit said.

"What?" The tea dolphin asked incredulously, he was a little strange, what it meant to explore the air.

"If the enemy is really the Golden Lion Shiki, and he made the island float in the air." Peach Rabbit Road.

The tea dolphin also understood the seriousness of the situation, and the possibility of what Peach Rabbit said was very high. And if this is really the case, then it means that their enemy is really the Golden Lion Shiji.

Although over the years, during the captivity of the Advance City, the state of the golden lion has been more or less affected, especially since he also cut off his own leg, in the case of losing his leg, the golden lion's combat power can be said to be greatly reduced. But the tea dolphin didn't dare to be careless, it had been a long time since the Golden Lion Shiji fled, and whether he would recover at this time, the navy did not know at all.

"Report to the headquarters and let it explore in the air." Peach Rabbit said.

"The Navy has too few means of air exploration, and most of the range it can explore is within a few kilometers. If it's really an empty island? With the ability of the Golden Lion Shiji, it is completely possible to levitate the empty island above 10,000 meters. Tea dolphin said.

"That's why we need to ask for help from the Navy Headquarters, people who can reach an altitude of 10,000 meters and explore quickly. Only the Yellow Ape General was able to do it. Peach Rabbit said.

Possessed by a sparkling fruit, the yellow ape is able to move quickly in the air. His speed is also a weapon of exploration. Moreover, the combat power of the general level is also a good aid against the Golden Lion Shiji.

"I want the headquarters to put so much of its combat power here... I find it a little difficult. The tea dolphin said hesitantly. He and Peach Rabbit are barely considered general-level combat power, and the missing Qingzhi did not return to the headquarters unsurprisingly, and now he has to ask the yellow ape to come to help... The Navy Headquarters may be empty of strength because of this relationship.

With this in mind, it is impossible for the Navy not to think carefully about the situation they expected.

“.. Report the news of Qingzhi's disappearance. Peach Rabbit said.

The tea dolphin fell silent, his face revealed hesitation, this time even if it was what Peach Rabbit said, he had to hesitate. If the news of Qingzhi's departure is reported to the headquarters, it will undoubtedly express the message that he has violated the mission of the navy and acted without authorization. And in recent rumors, the Sengoku Marshal was ordered to leave his post for repeatedly violating orders issued by the World Government. If this is true, Qingzhi, Akainu and Yellow Ape will become the candidates for the next marshal of the Navy. Reporting on the violation of the mandate and acting without authorization will undoubtedly have an impact on the election campaign.

Among the three generals, the most optimistic about the tea dolphin is Qingzhi, and he also believes that there is definitely some reason for Qingzhi to leave this time, and he doesn't want to interfere with him.

“... Isn't it okay to ask for assistance directly? "Tea dolphin road.

"The headquarters, it will not provide assistance when there is no change, you should understand the difficulty of asking for help now, if it is an ordinary warship, it may be simple, but this time it is asking for Admiral Yellow Ape." Peach Rabbit said that after spending a long time with the tea dolphin, she naturally knew what he was thinking at the moment, and she said: "Every day that is delayed in time, the greater the impact on ordinary people, and we as a navy need to be responsible for civilians." ”

The beasts had not been fully identified by them, and they did not know how many of them there were. And with the combat power of these modified beasts, it is not something that any country in the East China Sea can compete with.

"I see." The tea dolphin made a compromise, and he really couldn't resist the peach rabbit. And Peach Rabbit was right, before he thought about these other things, they were responsible for civilians as a navy.

……

Under the orders of the Navy Headquarters, the Yellow Ape came to the East China Sea and carried out exploration work in the air.

"It's terrible, it's terrible.." The yellow ape let out a sigh of emotion, and his cheeks became a little distorted by emotion, looking particularly obscene. In his sight, a large island appeared high in the sky, and the green and lush woods were constantly resounding with the cries of cruel beasts.

"Hey... Hey..."The yellow ape first said a few words to himself to the black phone bug in his hand, but the black phone bug did not answer the phone, because the black phone bug only answered unilaterally and could not be dialed. The yellow ape naturally knew this, but he pretended not to understand, then scratched his head, and took out the phone bug that had already rang in his arms.

"Old man, haven't you found it yet?" It was Sentomaru's voice that came from the phone bug.

This time he was sent to assist the Yellow Ape, and the navy seemed to be full of interest in the beast that would increase its strength after the transformation, so on the basis of sending the Yellow Ape, he also sent the Sentomaru of the scientific troops.

"Found it, an island." The yellow ape said slowly, "The beast roar above sounds so terrifying, my mouth is crooked with fright." ”

Zhan Taomaru naturally didn't believe the old man's nonsense, because he knew that no matter who the old man was facing, he often said that sentence was terrible, which was simply a typical example of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger".

"Is there an empty island?"

"It's a moving island, huh... The attack launched by the birds is also very strong, and it seems that this is the right place. ”

"I know, immediately report to Lieutenant General Peach Rabbit and Lieutenant General Tea Dolphin, ask for reinforcements, you shoot down this island first."

"Shoot down...? It looks like it's going to be a little difficult. The yellow ape crooked his mouth, and then hung up the phone bug. What appeared in front of him was the Golden Lion Shiji, who was the same as on the previous wanted notice. He just hovered in the air, right in front of him.

“.. Isn't this the admiral of the Navy? Golden Lion Shiji smiled, and there was not the slightest nervousness on his face. As a figure of his level, he has already seen strong winds and waves, and there will be no changes at all because he sees the general. At the time of his fame, the general was probably still a child who had just come out of the donkey.

"Whew.. It's terrifying, can I shoot down the island safely? The yellow ape was terrible on one side, and on the other side was making excessive demands.
