Chapter 10: The Calm Before the Storm
"Sister Butterfly...... Ze, Grandpa Zefa won't have an accident, right? "In a special house at the base of the naval branch in the Chambord Islands, Xiao Bud, who looked very tired except for his spirit, but seemed to have no major physical problems, curled up at the head of his own bed, leaning against the cold stone wall of the sea building, tears sliding down one by one. Fastest updates
Butterfly, who also looked tired but had an intact body, slowly walked to the bedside of Xiao Ya, gently stretched out his hand, and hugged Xiao Ya, who was trembling like a little beast in confusion and despair, into his arms, and whispered in a confident tone: "Bud, Grandpa Zefa will definitely be fine!" Have you forgotten that he once said that Grandpa Zefa has the same status in his heart as ours! So, but what will happen in the end, but as long as he is still here, Grandpa Zefa, nothing will happen! ”
Little Bud knew very well who he was referring to in Butterfly's mouth.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that she also pinned her hopes on the big brother who was omnipotent in her memory, Xiao Ya, who was young but already very sensible, couldn't control her choice to be arrested with Grandpa Zefa at the beginning of that incident.
However, even so, just in case, Xiao Ya at that time was finally brought back to the branch base of the Navy's Chambord Islands by Butterfly's physical dissuasion (stun with a hand knife).
Although they didn't suffer any unfair or undeserved encounters along the way, even so, the two of them were immediately taken to this special room to protect them as soon as they returned to the base.
Well, at least, nominally, it is indeed protection.
This special room, located in the most secret part of the base of the Chambord Islands Division of the Navy, was built specifically for the purpose of "protecting" certain special people who do not know how to deal with them for the time being, but in fact it is an act of "imprisonment" or "imprisonment".
Everything that makes up this room is made of precious sea building stones.
From the walls to the floor, from the windows that cannot be opened at all to the stone gates of the sea buildings that can only be opened from the outside......
Even the ordinary daily necessities such as the beds inside are all made of Hailou stone or materials that have penetrated into Hailou stone.
In order to prevent the imprisoned target from escaping from this room with some kind of strange devil fruit power, he can escape from this room with an ability that ordinary people can't even imagine.
So, despite having eaten the special Devil Fruit called "Transparent Fruit" that Tesla Tokapo brought back, Butterfly still couldn't escape this room, let alone leave here with Little Bud.
"Uh......h Sister Butterfly, Little Bud, Little Bud really wants to be a big brother! Big brother, big brother, he's been gone for a long, long time, why hasn't he come back! Woo...... "When it comes to Tesla, Xiaoya's original tense mood has indeed been slightly relieved, but don't forget, she is still a little girl who has just turned 11 years old.
In her eyes, the figure who rescued her from the barrel has long since become a symbol of omnipotence.
Especially, even though she has been practicing with Canty, Butterfly, and Zefa, who was called a teacher at the beginning and is now a grandfather, for so long, the image of Tesla imprinted on her heart has not only not faded, but has become more and more profound.
I have to say that in this era, all the geniuses who appear by Tesla's side are pathetic.
Because, those geniuses who may be the best in the future and can dominate the entire great route, when they have not yet been able to develop, they met the old driver Tesla, who drove all the way, no matter how famous they are in the future, but now, their so-called genius name has become a stepping stone to Tesla's rise.
"Don't worry, Bud. The arrest of Teacher Zefa should have caused a sensation in the entire Great Voyage and even the whole world! Even if Tesla is still completing the mission in the East China Sea at the moment, he must already know about it, so I believe that he will definitely rush back, and maybe, at this moment, he is already on the Chambord Islands! Compared with Xiao Ya, Die, who is three years older than Tesla, can also be said to be a little girl, but her thoughts or ways of thinking have long been far beyond the level that this age should be under the leadership of Tesla.
Although she was taken to this special house with Xiaoya on the day of the incident, this did not prevent her from extrapolating his itinerary based on her knowledge of Tesla.
After all, the mercenary newspapers of the Chambord Islands are not all honest men who obey the orders of the navy.
On the contrary, these newspapers, which focus on reaping the greatest profits, wish to come to such a drama every once in a while, then their newspaper sales will go up!
Don't forget, in a world where there is basically no entertainment, reading newspapers and magazines is one of the most universal forms of entertainment.
From the pretentious nobles of the nations to the ordinary islanders who may have never been outside the island in their lives, they will always spend a few baileys on a newspaper with the hottest news whenever they can.
That is, this world is driven by the will of Oda Okami, and such a thing can happen.
Even the distance that a ship has to sail for tens or even dozens of days to cross, and with the special existence of the newspaper delivery bird, the speed of news transmission is not much worse than that of the era of the information explosion in Tesla's previous life......
This black technology is simply amazing!
Xiao Ya, who was very convinced of the butterfly's judgment, perhaps because of his mental exhaustion, actually fell asleep directly in the butterfly's arms.
However, Xiao Ya, who was asleep, did not have a chance to see that Sister Butterfly, who had given her infinite comfort and information before, did not have the same confidence on her face at this moment.
Whether it's because of Tesla's ears and eyes, or because she's talented, all in all, since the day she was imprisoned in this special room, Butterfly, who has carefully combed everything through, vaguely senses that something is wrong here.
Among them, the most wrong point should be Tesla's mission.
There is nothing wrong with the elite generals of the Navy going on a long mission, if it is an undercover mission, then the mission completion period is likely to be calculated according to the unit of years.
But the most wrong thing is precisely here.
Why would it be Tesla's turn to take on a task like this?
Just as Tong Zefa noticed what he noticed in the city, Butterfly also sensed the strangeness contained in the whole thing.
Everything, it seems, is too much of a coincidence.
Thinking back to the situation that day, the gloom in Butterfly's heart became even more intense.
If it weren't for Zefa's faster attack speed, then Xiao Ya, who was already shooting unexpectedly at that time, would definitely be knocked down by those Tianlong guards, and even ......
Butterfly, who didn't dare to continue thinking about it, was even more worried about Tesla, which had not yet appeared.
Because she knows very well that the appearance of Tesla is an inevitable thing.
Similarly, she already knew the terrifying status of the Tianlong people, and she knew more clearly that as long as Tesla appeared, then everything would definitely go in the most terrifying direction.
Tesla saw himself and Bud and Grandpa Zefa as much as he saw it, and no one knew it better than her.
If you want to save Grandpa Zefa, who attacked the Draconians, then, without any exceptions, Tesla will definitely go to the opposite side of the navy and even the entire world government!
Thinking of this, Die's exquisite face was even more sad.
She thought, she looked forward to it; But at the same time, she was afraid, she was even more afraid!
It was only after joining the Navy that Butterfly truly realized what an unfathomable reserve of power this official organization in the name of "Absolute Justice" contained.
Even if she is full of confidence in Tesla, who she grew up with, but when his opponent is transformed from those scattered pirates to behemoths like the Navy Headquarters and even the World Government, it is pure self-deception.
"Tesla ......"
"Where are you at this moment?"
Sitting quietly at the head of the bed, holding the butterfly of the sleeping bud, his eyes seem to look through the wall made of sea building stones, looking at the boundless sea outside.
……
And at this moment, Tesla, who had already joined the CP9 people, took the hideous Grim Reaper mask that he had re-worn since leaving Xia Qi's tavern, and said slowly in a completely pitched voice:
"What are the results of the investigation? Where are they? ”
