Chapter 553: Black Wrist!
Such a big movement in the orphanage had already alarmed the residents of the town, and after a while, not only the rest of the naval soldiers stationed here, but also the militia organized by the town also rushed over.
Everyone nervously observed the surroundings with weapons in hand, and some people immediately ran into the orphanage to comfort the frightened children. A veteran walked up to Kane, who was biting his pipe, looked at the humanoid dumplings on the ground, and asked, "Major, what's going on?" ”
Judging by his voice, this person was the same person who had spoken to Kane on the phone before.
Call......
Silently exhaling a puff of smoke rings, Kane sighed and said, "That's the murderer of Betty...... Presumably a pirate. She's a fruit powerhouse, be careful......"
Kill ...... Betty?!
The old soldier's expression darkened, and there was some silence in his eyes, but he immediately nodded and took out the Hailou Stone Lock.
An unknown fruit capable of controlling stones, and judging by the power she shows when attacking, ordinary lieutenant generals are no match for them. Such beings are definitely not unknown on the sea...... And if it is, it means that the water behind her is still very deep!
Looks like we have to go back...... Navy Headquarters!
Kane thought so, when suddenly, a cry of surprise interrupted his thoughts.
Hearing the exclamations from there, Kane had a sense of foreboding. He pushed through the crowd and walked in, and was about to ask a question when he saw the stone statue on the ground...... A stone statue very similar to Gasara!
"Nani! Did she escape?! ”
Kane was shocked that she was able to escape in the split second before being touched by Hailou Stone, how the hell did she do it? But fortunately, he has already filed a record, and he has a backup for any situation......
Looking at his companions beside him, Kane asked, "Is it done at the port?" Are you sure that no ships can go to sea? ”
"Uh...... That's right! ”
The veteran was stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied: "After receiving your notice, I asked the men to dig a hole in the bottom of all the ships. It's okay to stop in the harbor, just fix it afterwards. And once you go to sea...... She definitely can't run far! ”
"Alright, let's go to the port right away!"
Kane nodded, and regardless of smoking, he was ready to take the people out in a hurry. But just then, a little girl squeezed out of the crowd, came to him, and asked with tears in her eyes.
"Now, Grandpa Kane...... Is Uncle Jim really leaving today? Why didn't he say goodbye to Ain? ”
Kane was about to comfort the little girl a few words, but suddenly his pupils suddenly constricted...... Oops!! ”
......
Turtle Island, mechanical castle hall.
"The new world will be handed over to me, and the first half of Paradise and the Four Seas will depend on your navy......" Sitting on the master's seat, Loya said to the flying squirrel with a very serious expression.
The devil knows where the one who escaped and got the Soul Fruit ability ran away! However, judging from the fact that Charlotte Lingling has lost her fruit ability, and the chess soldier can still move, she is definitely still alive!
So the first priority is to find that guy!
Most likely, the new world will be in charge of Loya's undead legion, but then they won't be able to take care of the rest of the world, so Loya will need the help of the navy.
Let me ask, will a guy who has been the Four Emperors of King's Landing in the New World be the kind of person who is willing to live an ordinary life? This time she dares to be the Four Emperors, and the devil knows what kind of life she will experience next time!
The flying squirrel understood this and nodded in agreement. Moreover, when the intelligence of the navy and the insight of Loya were linked, a figure hidden behind history finally surfaced, and as a navy that maintained stability in the sea, they naturally knew what to do!
However, the flying squirrel sighed a little and took a puff of his cigar: "It's a good thing to have communication...... I believe that until this trouble is resolved, the marshal of the Warring States will not be as tense as you used to be......"
"I'm a true traitor to the Navy, the faint Fifth Emperor of the New World...... Are you sure he can reassure me? ”
"I'll leave this question to time to verify. Anyway......"
Extinguishing the cigar in the ashtray, the flying squirrel smiled: "I...... You've never hurt a Navy until now, have you? ”
"Oh, that's sorry. There are a lot of people in my army of the dead who were in the navy. ”
Click!
Hearing this, the flying squirrel's face turned dark, and he stood up and threw his sleeves away: "When I didn't say it! ”
"Hey, don't you want to leave after dinner? Tonight, eat your favorite charcoal-grilled saury and my best sake! ”
“......”
The flying squirrel stopped at once, and his throat twitched a few times, but finally he walked forward firmly. It's just that this time he walked so slowly, and his steps seemed so hesitant.
With a playful smile on the corner of Luo Ya's mouth, she just watched him walk out step by step.
Joke!
Do you think Lao Tzu will keep you a second time?
And then give you a staircase down so that you can "reluctantly" stay to eat?
Is it okay if it doesn't exist!!
......
"Major! Found Jim! ”
On the shores of Lighthouse Island, an exclamation broke the oppressive atmosphere. Kane looked up suddenly, expecting a miracle. But when he saw the white sheet that would only cover the dead man, his eyes instantly dimmed.
A few minutes later, the search was over.
Jim and his family, including the crew, were 23 people in total...... 23 living human lives turned into 23 cold corpses because of their own negligence!
The other party's methods are very clean and neat, never make a second move, and at first glance he is a thug who ignores human life to the extreme!
The atmosphere was depressed again, no one spoke, and everyone was silent.
Yesterday...... No, Jim, who was still happily giving gifts everywhere this morning, telling the residents that he had found his family, was lying there quietly at the moment.
With his family, forever......
Kane's hand was shaking as he lit his cigarette, and he tried several times but didn't light it. At that moment, a lighter came from the side, lit it and placed it in front of him.
"Grandpa Kane......"
"Ain!"
Kane, who couldn't hold back any longer, spit out his pipe and hugged the little girl in front of him, his voice choked up.
"I'm sorry Ain...... It's grandpa useless! It's Grandpa who didn't protect Uncle Jim! ”
"No, grandpa, you're doing a great job! You are Ain's great hero! ”
Holding Kane with her backhand, Al Yin also had tears in her eyes, but she didn't cry, but comforted the old man in front of her softly. One old and one young, he has changed his identity here at the moment, but it doesn't give anyone an awkward feeling.
After being silent for a long time, Ain said, "Grandpa Kane, I want to be a navy!" I'm going to catch the bad guy who killed Uncle Jim with my own hands! ”
"Well, good! Grandpa believes in you! ”
Kane nodded, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, let go of the hand holding Ain, and took out a pair of delicate bracelets from his arms. The bracelet is made of precious ironwood, and its exterior is painted with a layer of black lacquer, which not only looks like it, but also feels like steel.
Two emeralds are set in the very center of the two bracelets, and the eyes of a bluebird that looks up and sings, shimmering in the sunlight.
But...... Those who knew Jim well knew that the gemstone was once set in his ring, the only spiritual sustenance he had when he missed his family.
Looking at the bracelets, Kane said, "Uncle Jim is afraid that you will be sad to see him, so he doesn't dare to say goodbye to you, and I will pass it on to you after he leaves." He told his grandfather that he wanted to adopt Ain...... But he eventually gave up on ......"
“...... Because Jim believes that Ain's family must still be somewhere in the sea, waiting for you to return. ”
He also said that girls always like wooden swords and pistols, and they like beautiful clothes, beautiful handkerchiefs, and flowers and butterflies...... You see, this little mechanism can be opened, and there can be some needlework and jewelry inside! ”
“...... Well! ”
Taking Ain's hand, Kane closed the mechanism of the bracelet and placed it on the little girl's hand.
"If you want to be in the navy, tomorrow grandpa will take you to the navy headquarters...... But promise Grandpa that you must find your family, Ain! ”
“...... Well!!! ”
The sun was setting in the west, and the dim red sunlight was shining on the little girl's bracelet, making it impossible to tell where the bracelet was and where was the arm. Dazzling, like a pair of black wrists......
