Chapter 37: The Stolen Vault
Colonel Rat tried to jump into the sea and was still in the air, but was grabbed back by Bucky's detached hand.
Bucky looked at each other with amusement: "Lord Colonel, don't you feel too rude to leave in such a hurry?" ”
"Devil Fruit Ability...... Colonel Mouse's heart sank, and he barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and said with his teeth leaking, "Ba, Lord Bucky...... It's because I'm not entertaining, so I'll pour you tea. ”
"No, you better think about how much your life is worth."
"I ...... My cheap life is worthless, and my rotten life is to feed the dogs...... The dog won't eat it, so you will let me live. ”
The rat was embarrassed and indignant, but he was stronger than a man, and he had to keep his posture to the minimum, and at this time he regretted why he didn't bring more warships out in the first place...... No, shouldn't you have provoked this demon in the first place......
The opponent's strength is completely more than 10 million Bailey!!
"No, Lord Colonel is too modest, your life is still worth a lot."
Bucky smiled, this was what he meant to be, the rat-sama was an integral part of his plan to win over the Navigator.
Colonel Rat was sweating like rain, not knowing how to answer the other party's words, and stared at the deck on the ground stupidly, afraid of dreading and panicking, and did not dare to speak.
The pirates of the Bucky Pirates climbed up from the ropes and ladders next to the warship, landed on the deck, looked at the fallen navy in front of them, and then looked up at Captain Bucky who was covered in blood in shock, speechless, this is a naval warship!
In just ten minutes, all the soldiers on board were killed, how the hell was this done!
"Don't be stunned, go to the cabin and empty all the supplies for me."
With a wave of Bucky's hand, all the pirates immediately ran towards the navy warship excitedly and robbed the navy...... This is something they never dared to think of before!
And there is such an opportunity at your fingertips, it's like a dream!
The pirates kept carrying supplies from the cabin, and every time someone came out of the cabin, Colonel Rat's eyes couldn't help but glance over, and he was secretly relieved to see that the things in the pirates' hands were only food and buckets.
Suddenly, a pirate poked his head out of the hatch and shouted, "Hey, you guys, come here, I've found a locked vault!" ”
"Wait! Don't touch that vault! Colonel Rat suddenly roared with a hideous face, and hurried over, as if he had forgotten that he was now a prisoner.
As soon as he took two steps, he slammed into a tremendous force, and his whole body flew upside down like a cannonball, and slammed into the railing of the ship, knocking it into a dent.
Bucky retracted his feet and walked over to Major Rat, who was coughing up blood, "Lord Colonel, the Navy and the pirates are incompatible, you should thank me for not killing you...... Think about it again, what can you use to buy your life? ”
Colonel Rat gritted his teeth, and his left hand, which he had put in his pocket, held the hand-pistol fiercely, and finally let go weakly.
"Ahem......"
He coughed twice in pain, his right hand touching his chest...... I could feel that there were about two or three broken ribs in my chest.
At this moment, he fully realized that the demon in front of him would not be afraid because of his status as a colonel, and took out a key to the secret vault with difficulty: "I...... I know, I, I have three million Baileys in cash and two million worth of jewels on board......"
The rat does not have the strength equal to the rank of colonel at all, if it weren't for the father of a lieutenant general, even if he worked hard for another ten years, he would not be able to become a colonel, and in the long-term pampering, the most basic physical skills have been abandoned, as far as it is concerned, an ordinary naval soldier can easily knock him down, let alone the terrible sea pirates in the East China Sea in front of him.
Bucky's right foot was in Colonel Mouse's hand, and the key was picked in the air, and he reached for it and threw it to the probe pirate.
"Those who know the times are junjie, and there are very few navies like you now......"
The words sounded like heartfelt praise and merciless ridicule.
Colonel Rat was silent, just keeping his eyes fixed on the door of the cabin.
"Captain Bucky......" one of the pirates said as he ran out in a panic, panting for air, "that ...... The vault is empty! ”
"Empty?!" The rat's expression was even more surprised than Bucky's, and he asked without hesitation, "...... No way, how can it be empty, the safety lock on the vault door is loaded with three ways, and I checked it yesterday, it is absolutely impossible to be empty! Hey, is the Devil Fruit in the mezzanine still there?! ”
As soon as the words came out, he realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and quickly changed his words: "Ahem...... I didn't say anything about Devil Fruits, I mean...... Foul-smelling fruits, foul-smelling and moldy fruits......"
"I didn't expect you to carry a Devil Fruit with you."
Bucky looked at Colonel Mouse, whose face was rapidly turning gray, and looked up at the pirate and asked, "Is there nothing in the vault?" ”
"There's nothing in the vault, there's an open compartment with a locked note inside."
The pirate carefully handed over a note in his hand.
Bucky took the note, reading the twisted handwriting on the note.
"Thank you for your treasure, Colonel!" In the lower right corner of the note, there is also a signature that looks very elegant and flexible, "Little Thief Meow".
Little thief meow? Thief?
How dare you make a move against the Navy...... What a strange thief.
Connecting clues, Bucky's mind couldn't help but think of a well-known money-loving thief in the original book.
If this Miss Navigator had taken the opportunity to infiltrate the warship while Colonel Mouse was trading with Aaron, and had used some unique means to steal the treasure from the ship...... This explanation is very reasonable, but what is a little puzzling is that according to the character of Miss Navigator, she is supposed to be a thief who only steals the treasure of pirates, how could she reach out to the navy?
Could it be that the butterfly effect caused by one's own crossing has affected the trajectory of the development of some things?
"Captain Bucky...... There's also a fish that slipped through the net. Kabaji, who entered the cabin to search, carried a naked soldier in boxers and walked to the deck, "This guy is hiding under the bed, and I don't know what he is doing......
The naked man had a blue nose and swollen face, and his body had some traces of charwork, so he should have been taught a lesson by Kabaji in the resistance.
The soldier raised his head and looked around at the miserable situation with a look of horror: "Colonel, how could it be like this......"
Colonel Rat just glanced at him, and then lowered his head, his face cloudy, and he had some impression of the young soldier, who seemed to be a scout named Simon, but ...... Didn't he stay on Eru Island with the reconnaissance team, why is he still here?!
"What does the Colonel seem to remember?" Seeing the change in Colonel Mouse's face, Bucky unceremoniously kicked the wound in the other man's chest and asked stupidly, "Where did you put the gold and silver treasures on the ship?" ”
"Whew-"
Colonel Rat let out a painful snort and hurriedly replied in a cold sweat, "It was really stolen!" There must have been a thief, I sent someone to Eru Island before, and the thief fled there disguised as a navy, you are a large man, spare my life! ”
