Chapter 55: The Coming Storm (1/2)
Momonosuke's affair Tesla quickly left him behind.
Because according to the normal time, Robin in this era is only a teenager, and Nami is still a little Lori of a few years old, Momonosuke or something, and she is still many years away from birth. Tesla really wants to get rid of this pirate number one scourge, and he has to honestly wait for someone to be born, right?
"Chiba-senpai, what about your hand? ......"In Tesla's opinion, with the strength of Chiba Tachibana, it is not impossible for someone to cut off the thumbs of both hands, but if you have that strength, you shouldn't just cut off your thumbs."
Without thinking, a strange smile appeared on Chiba Tachibana's face: "My hands? What happened to my hand? Isn't that a problem at all? ”
As he spoke, Chiba Tachibana showed his hands.
This is a masterpiece that looks like a work of art.
The delicate skin is not inferior to the carefully carved mutton fat jade, the slender and slender five fingers are flawless, and the palm of Yingying's palm looks very soft.
Tesla blinked his eyes, stared at Chiba Tachibana's outstretched hands and looked carefully several times, and finally confirmed the fact: Chiba Tachibana's thumb was still in her hand.
"This ......" Tesla was a little confused, because before, he did see Chiba Tachibana's thumb cut off, otherwise he wouldn't have eaten enough to take Mihawk's challenge in place of Chiba Dojo.
"Surprised? The power of the Devil Fruit. A girlish smile appeared on Chiba's face, and then she didn't make any movements, and the slender and flawless hands disappeared in an instant, replaced by an empty wrist.
Then in the next second, the empty wrist was restored to the perfect palm from before.
"The illusion fruit can create illusions that are fake, and if you do something like this, it's just a very simple thing." Yamato's Nadeshiko-like Chiba Tachibana said to Tesla with a soft smile.
Tesla frowned: "So, even if there is no me today, Mihawk's challenge will not succeed?" Is that right? ”
Chiba Tachibana smiled without saying a word, but her attitude was enough to speak for itself.
"So, Chiba-senpai, you have been in Beihai for so long, do you know anything about the organization 'Dark Owl'?" Seemingly inadvertently, Tesla suddenly asked a very strange question.
Unexpectedly, Chiba Tachibana, who heard the word "dark owl", suddenly changed his face:
"Where did you know about this organization?"
……
Butterfly is a very attentive little girl.
She found that since Tesla came out after chatting with Mr. Tachibana, although her face was still the same smile, for some reason, she was sensitive and could feel Tesla's irritability hidden under the smile.
As she arrives home, Butterfly takes Tesla's hand and motions for him to stop.
Tesla seemed a little absent-minded, and almost didn't take the butterfly down.
Seeing this, Die not only didn't mean to blame Tesla, but was a little more worried about Tesla: "Tesla, what's wrong with you?" Did something happen? ”
Tesla looked at Butterfly, who looked worried, and was silent for a while, before he seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "Butterfly, after we go back, you help Daddy pack up his things, and tomorrow morning, we will meet at the naval base together." ”
Looking at Tesla's solemn eyes, Butterfly didn't ask what happened, but nodded obediently and said seriously: "Okay, I'll start packing up my things when I go back." ”
When Tesla was just about to say something, he suddenly noticed that a figure seemed to flash at the mouth of the alley, and a trace of gloom suddenly rose in his heart: "Butterfly, you go home by yourself first, and I'll go back later." ”
After speaking, before Butterfly could finish speaking, he immediately chased after him along the alley.
……
"Moximoxi, I'm Canty!" Despite his bad mood, as the highest commander of the 9527 branch of the Navy, Canty did not have any power to be willful in major matters.
So, when she didn't know who was calling, Canty had to take the call from this particular phone bug in order to avoid missing an emergency.
"I'm Tesla......" Tesla's voice came out like a phone bug.
Candy's brows instantly condensed into a figure of eight, and she had a very ominous premonition.
Sure enough, what Tesla said next let her know what is a blessing and a curse.
“…… I've caught a Dark Owl, but it's a bit special and I need you to deal with it. When Tesla said this, he was a little sad, but he was relieved.
"Also, tell Drake that I didn't break my promise to him." After saying this, Tesla hung up the phone, causing Canty to not even have time to tell him the fact that Drake was transferred.
However, Canty couldn't care about it anymore.
Ever since she learned from Tesla that evening about the existence of the mysterious evil organization "Dark Owl", which is linked to the Great Voyage, she knew that the future might not be as peaceful as before.
It's just that what Canty didn't expect was that this kind of unrest would come so quickly!
Combined with what Tesla said, Canty suddenly felt that behind Drake, the strongest combat force in the current Navy's 9527 detachment, who was transferred as soon as he joined the army, was probably not just from the Navy Headquarters.
"Beihai, it's about to storm again." I walked to the window and looked at the dark clouds outside, as if it was the best portrayal of Candy's mood at the moment.
"Moximoxi, I'm Major Canty......" Taking out the sleeping phone bug, Candy stared out the window at the storm that had begun to perform, and made several calls in a row.
When the last call was hung up, she called Jay, who had been her lieutenant, in: "Jay, get ready, after the storm, set off for the non-chieftaincy islands." ”
"Understood." Still reticent, Jay nodded and left Canty's office to prepare for the ship's sailing.
Silently lit a new cigar, Canty took a puff of smoke before saying to herself:
"Tesla, Tesla, I really don't know if it was right or wrong to ask you to come to our detachment in the first place. Hopefully, though, you can stick to the bottom line, otherwise ......"
As if thinking of something, there seemed to be a glimmer of cold light in the smoky office.
……
Non-Emirates Island, not outside Emirates Town.
Looking at Dieses Barrerus, who was tightly bound by himself, and the strange box that was taken out of him, Tesla had a little headache.
The box had already been opened and looked at by him, and he knew what it was, but it was because of this that he seemed so hesitant and even irritable.
"Boy, you dare to arrest me? But you also seem to know my identity, you're finished, hahahaha! Even if you're in the navy, no one can save you! You're finished...... Hahahahaha! Barreirus seemed to see something in Tesla's hesitation, and he was laughing wildly without fear.
"The reason why you appeared alone on Non-Chief Island is because of this Devil Fruit, right?" Tesla's voice was flat and flat, and no emotional fluctuations could be heard.
"Hmph, you know it! If you let me go honestly now, maybe I'll have a lot of adults and spare you a whole corpse...... Otherwise, this island will certainly be chickens! Dog! No! Stay! "Barreiros seems to be confident.
Tesla scratched his head, opened the box in his hand, took out the devil fruit in the shape of a red heart, and muttered to himself:
"Don Quixote Doflamingo and the fruit of the operation, it's hard to choose!"
