Chapter 177: Three "Sacrifices" (Part I)
Maybe one day Qiubai will hold a torch in one hand and sing "It's a pity it's not you, stay with me to the end" into the Balbatos horn, but at least it won't be now.
After making all the preparations and boarding the ship, it relied on strong power to rush out of the whirlpool island smoothly.
Compared to when you entered this island, when you leave this island, you will only have a snake after you are a few years older...... Qiubai felt that it was still necessary to bring Linna, at least to go to Fish-Man Island again or sometimes when you needed to go deep into the windless zone, she could let her pull the boat.
Although the Barobatos is not a small boat, it is much larger in size, so it is not a problem to pull a cart.
After all, although the ship has been semi-steamed, it will only operate that kind of afterburner when necessary, after all, it will consume a lot of fuel...... Either way, it sounds a little more reliable than using Coke as a power.
When it comes down to this, the new pirate ship with that snake is actually a triple hybrid of sails, steam, and animal power, which is enough to handle most sea conditions.
Leaving the Vortex Island is the first small difficulty faced by Qiubai's gang, if the boat capsizes at the door, there is no need to mention any follow-up plans, fortunately, even if there is a person on this boat who is not very reliable, but the rest of the people can still be relied on, leaving this island is naturally not a problem.
The superstructure of the Barobatos has a total of three floors, and the height is about 15 meters, and Qiu Bai took advantage of his position to occupy the space of the top whole floor, so even if you just count the habitable area per person, he is also the No.1 of the legend.
After leaving the open sea of Vortex Island, the sea conditions became a little calmer, and at this time everyone was already idle, Qiubai gathered all the people together and gave a brief explanation of the next action.
It was almost dusk, and the setting sun was shining on the sails, giving the blue orangutans working on them an unusual hue...... To put it simply, if he looked out from Qiubai's angle, he saw that the orangutans were all green.
Great mountains and rivers, good forgiveness...... This is a good sign, which means that no matter what Qiubai wants to do next, sooner or later everyone will forgive him.
"As for what we are going to do next, it's actually very simple, that is, cruising the route east of the capital of the seven waters, collecting intelligence at the same time, and waiting for a person to arrive." Qiubai said.
"Why are you in this area?" Luo asked rhetorically, because the Navy Headquarters is nearby, this sea area can be said to be particularly strong in the Navy, which can be regarded as a highly controlled area, if Qiubai is doing any activities here, it is difficult to say that the Navy will be played by him like last time, because if they do it again, this time they will not have such a good scapegoat as Doflamingo.
This sea area is indeed a bit frightening, whether to encounter the navy or not, the main thing is that Luo is a little worried that if Qiubai squats here, maybe he still wants to make a move on the Tianlong people?
There is a first time and a second time, no one can say for sure.
"Well, because there is the greatest chance of catching people here, the first half of the Great Voyage will start from the Capital of the Seven Waters, and the five routes will be completely merged into one until the Chambord Islands, relatively speaking, there is still a relatively high probability that you can meet friends from the New World in this sea area." Qiu Bai is very rare to answer this question seriously.
But...... Where did he come from in the New World? Except for the group of people in his hometown who have never officially appeared, he may not even have an acquaintance, right?
Oh...... This pirate is really not good, he still has acquaintances, but the relationship between the two is by no means something that can be summed up by the word friend, such as Don Quixote Doflamingo, who was cheated by him once before.
But now the person Qiu Bai has to wait for will definitely not be him, after all, if Dover, with the relationship between the two parties in love with each other, as long as Qiu Bai stands here and shouts "Qiu Bai is here", he doesn't have to go out of his way to look for it, and Dover will soon come over to settle accounts with him.
"So who are you waiting for? It can't be a Draconian, right? ”
"Of course not", Qiu Bai was a little strange why Luo asked like this, isn't the matter of the Tianlong people over for the time being?
"It's the murderer."
As he spoke, Qiubai put a newly obtained newspaper in front of everyone's eyes...... Not only Qiubai himself, after leaving the isolated island and returning to a normal environment, they all pay special attention to the collection of external information, so that their sense of disconnection with reality will gradually be bridged.
Coincidentally, I just saw the news about Fire Fist Ace earlier, and now there is news about Whitebeard's other captain...... And compared with the speculation and time lag in the report on Ace, this freshly baked news is much more solemn and accurate:
Someone killed the captain of the fourth team of the Whitebeard Pirates.
If there is nothing wrong with the authenticity of the matter, this is a very important matter for Whitebeard himself, who regards his subordinates as heirs, and for the entire Whitebeard Pirates, but ...... This has a hairy relationship with Qiubai.
Luo's mind turned, and he suddenly remembered something that Qiubai had said before: "Could it be that this murderer is the Marshall J. Bush you mentioned earlier. D. Teach? ”
"Yes." Qiubai said very clearly.
This is a bit of a problem, not to mention why Qiubai has been staring at the Whitebeard Pirates, but how did he know about this kind of internal affairs, everyone has not left Vortex Island for so many years, and Qiubai seems to not only know about it, but also know about it for a long time, Luo even has a "delusion" that he already knew before the incident.
There is indeed some mystery on Qiu Bai's body, and he doesn't deliberately demonstrate this mystery most of the time.
Seeing that everyone looked at him with puzzled eyes, Qiu Bai stretched out a finger and touched the tip of his nose, and then said with a smile, "If I say that in addition to being a noble warrior, I am also a bottom prophet, do you believe it?" ”
What kind of psychological construction does this person have to go through to be able to tell such nonsense? When did Qiubai become a noble warrior?
So based on his self-perception, there is a serious deviation, and whoever believes in this sentence of his is a fool.
Qiu Bai shook his head helplessly, and looked, everyone didn't believe it every time he told the truth, "In short, I have a special source of information, and there will be no mistake in this matter." ”
That's all he can say, and as for a more detailed explanation, he can't do it, and he doesn't need to do it.
