Chapter Seventy-One
New world.
In the depths of the rough waves and clouds, several warships are quietly entrenched there.
Amid the sound of the rushing water, a rear admiral was standing on a high lookout, trying to observe the distance with a telescope.
"How's it going, Major General Clive?"
A burly man with a beard, a large centipede scar with a thumb-thick face on his face, and a navy cloak with two big characters on justice, rose into the air and landed beside him and asked.
Daniel Owen, one of the vice admirals, is in charge of the Navy's foreign intelligence gathering, and is ordered by the Admiral Sengoku to go to the New World to investigate and spy on the Four Emperors Whitebeard.
"Lieutenant General."
Clive stood up, straightened up, and gave a clean military salute.
Owen nodded, signaling that he didn't need to be polite.
"Did you find anything?"
Owen asked with concern on his face as he looked at the shadow looming in the fog in the distance.
"I'm sorry, Lieutenant General, this fog is too disturbing for us to get accurate information, but the Moby Dick has been staying there without any movement, I think they must have a conspiracy, please Lieutenant General, let me take a closer look."
Clive frowned slightly, and told his guess.
"No, although the ghost mist has the ability to conceal the domineering power of seeing and hearing, if you get too close, it will definitely be discovered!"
Lieutenant General Owen shook his head, his face solemn.
Ghost fog, a special weather climate in the New World, a gray fog covers a large area, often for more than a month.
Within the ghost fog, the domineering spirit of seeing and hearing is often suppressed to the greatest extent, and with Owen's current domineering cultivation, he can only detect the area within ten meters of his body at most.
"But are we just going to waste it here?" Clive said urgently, and there was a hint of disapproval on his face, although it was very little, but it was still keenly grasped by Owen.
"And if I had driven the boat by myself, I would have been fine!"
Looking at the eager Major General Clive, Owen shook his head secretly in his heart.
Young man...... Always greedy for merit, you must know that the opponent is not an ordinary person, but a top existence in the world!
"Clive, don't forget that in order to obtain information about Whitebeard, you and my predecessor have already killed three lieutenant generals and destroyed more than ten warships......
Owen's words were like a pour of cold water, pouring down from Clive's head, easily extinguishing the blood in his whole body.
Oh, yes! In order to obtain Whitebeard's information, the Warring States have already lost so much before and after!
Those predecessors, who can be sent by the Sengoku to spy on Whitebeard, will they be fools?
No, there is only one answer, Whitebeard is far more powerful than they think.
You must know that the navy headed by three vice generals and supplemented by ten warships has at least tens of thousands of people, and the combat power of this kind of military group can easily slaughter some small countries with weak military strength!
"At this time, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful!"
Owen patted Clive on the shoulder and said earnestly.
"Yes, my lord, it's the subordinates who are reckless." Clive bowed his head and pleaded guilty.
Clive's confession didn't make Owen's mood better, his brow furrowed, his eyes looking at the gray ghost fog outside, and his face was solemn.
I don't know why, there is always a bad feeling in my heart, as if a catastrophe is coming, which makes him feel a haze in his heart.
Edward the Whitebeard....... What the hell do you want to do!
Owen couldn't help but think of the order given to him by the Sengoku Marshal a month ago.
Ace was caught, and as a person with a white beard, he would definitely do everything in his power to rescue him.
Vice Admiral Owen's task is to do everything he can to find out about Whitebeard so that the Navy can make more arrangements for it.
Just as Lieutenant General Owen frowned, looking at the looming shadow in the distance of the ghost mist, he suddenly heard a flirtatious voice behind him.
"Ouch, isn't this the head of naval intelligence, Lieutenant General Daniel Owen? The Lieutenant General came in person, why didn't he announce it? Let's make a welcome feast for the Whitebeard Pirates. ”
Worst! It's been discovered!
Owen's face changed dramatically, and he turned to look at the source of the sound.
"Are you...... Captain of the Ichiban team of the Whitebeard Pirates, the immortal bird Marko!! ”
Owen's voice changed, and his face showed a look of horror, but as soon as his voice came out, he immediately shouted that it was not good.
Sure enough, after hearing Owen's loud shout, the soldiers on the warship raised their heads one after another, moved their eyes to them, and the entire warship suddenly became in a commotion!
At the same time, huge shadows slowly appeared, surrounding all these warships.
"They are...... A group of pirates under Whitebeard's command! ”
Clive shouted in panic with a look of horror on his face.
"Whitebeard! How did they find out about us! ”
"Damn, is it finally here!"
"Bastard, fight with them!"
There was a panic on the naval warship, in fact, Whitebeard's surprise attack was so sudden that the soldiers did not react at all.
Moreover, Whitebeard's prestige has long been deeply imprinted among these naval soldiers, which led to this moment of panic.
Finished!
Owen groaned, his face pale pale.
Bake bae!
The cyan flames burned on Marco's body, and Owen felt only a heart fall to the bottom.
After a long while, suppressing the many thoughts in his mind, Owen asked Marco calmly.
"I don't understand, how did you find out about us?"
"Haha, isn't every navy like you, always thinking that the ghost fog is certain safe."
Marko's eyes were slightly closed, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"Last time, the bodies of those three unlucky ghosts were not cold, and you ran over again, are we really stupid?"
I see, Owen let out a long sigh, his face pale.
I always think that the most secret place is the safest place, and with Whitebeard's cunning, how could he not have predicted these things?
It is estimated that the previous vice admirals also felt that the ghost fog was the safest, so they were served like this.
Is...... Outsmart oneself.
After all, he is not a member of a professional intelligence organization, and compared to CP9, which has been dormant for five years without anyone detecting anomalies, the Navy's methods are too rudimentary.
"In the next life, don't be a navy again!"
The monstrous cyan flames were blazing, and Marko's figure turned into a huge cyan bird, rushing over with raging flames!
"It's just...... I've never regretted becoming a navy......"
Owen's face was calm, and he rushed forward against the cyan sea of fire......
