Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Fish-Man Pirates
Momiji Island! The island, which is under the direct management of the G6 branch of the Navy, resembles a maple leaf, and red trees grow on the island all year round, looking down from a high altitude, like a red leaf falling on the sea, so it is named after the red leaf island, which is a small island with a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery.
The size of the island is small, and the town is less than 20,000 people, making it a small island in the Great Passage. What started as a natural harbor led to the discovery of a business opportunity for the sap of the island's red leaf trees to be used for dyes and medicine, and this discovery made the deserted red leaf island flourish and gradually become what it is today.
In a hurry at the G6 branch, Duke met the lieutenant general of the headquarters who sat in the branch, an old man who did not appear in the original book. The two had a brief conversation, and the lieutenant general sent Duke to this remote island as the base's top commander.
Although he is the supreme commander, the Red Leaf Island base from top to bottom, including logistics, has a total of only 314 people, and has a medium-sized warship, which belongs to the kind of strength among the various bases of the G6 branch.
On the first day he took over the base, Duke beat up all the Navy soldiers on the grounds that his military was lax, won respect by force, and completely secured the position of the base commander.
This can't blame Duke for being unreasonable, on the great voyage, whether it is the navy or the pirates, they live with their heads pinned to their belts. Here, the truth is far less convincing than the fist.
After training soldiers, dealing with simple official documents, and patrolling the sea area routinely, Duke devoted all his energy to the cultivation of the six types of naval style and domineering. His diligence and self-discipline led to a good atmosphere in the base, and the bravery of the soldiers who took the lead in every battle made the soldiers willing to die.
On this day, Duke was soaking in the deep sea near the base, using water pressure to exercise his physical strength, when he heard the shouts of military caofoam from the shore. Duke forced his breath and stepped on the water continuously, jumping out of the sea like a fish.
Duke wiped the seawater off his body casually, put on his clothes and asked, "What happened?" ”
Jun Cao glanced at Duke's streamlined and strong physique with a little envy, and hurriedly handed over the official document to reply: "Captain Duke, the latest telegram from the G6 branch, the giant shark pirates have flowed to the sea area under the responsibility of the branch. The upper peak keeps you on guard and strengthens patrols around the clock to prevent sneak attacks by giant shark pirates. If you encounter the other party, report it to the branch immediately. ”
"Giant Shark Pirates? Isn't it amazing? "Duke hasn't heard of this pirate group, but since the above specially posted it, I don't think it's a simple character.
"The Giant Shark Pirates are all composed of fishmen, those monsters have ten times more powerful wrist strength than humans, and they are very hateful to humans, and they will slaughter civilians every time they ransack the port, and they are also a murderous type of pirates." Jun Cao handed Duke the information about the Giant Shark Pirates, Captain "Tiger Shark" Roxon, and Deputy Captain "Swordfish" Hasson to Duke and explained the danger of this pirate group. The Navy Headquarters once sent a rear admiral to round up the Giant Shark Pirates for half a year, but unfortunately, at the last moment, the fishmen would jump into the sea and escape. The sea is the world of fishmen, and even the major general does not dare to face a large group of powerful fishmen on the sea, so he has always let this group of villains go unpunished.
"'Tiger Shark' Luxon, with a bounty of 120,000,000 Bailey, is extremely dangerous, whether he lives or dies!" Swordfish' Hasen, with a bounty of 68,000,000 Bailey, is extremely dangerous, dead or alive! Duke glanced at the bounty slip and scratched his chin in thought. It has been almost twelve years since One Piece Roger was executed, and the order of the entire sea has not yet been stabilized, and it is the era when pirates are emerging one after another. Now is not the future inflation, Bailey is still very valuable, although there is an element of killing civilians, but the total value of nearly 200 million Bailey shows its danger.
"Why did such a dangerous group of pirates come to us?" Jun Cao wondered, Hongye Island is full of timber merchants, and the oil and water are not rich for pirates, and pirates with a little strength will not pay attention here. Especially the Fish-Man Pirates, who shouldn't be here.
"It's just that it wandered to the vicinity, and it didn't say that it would attack Momiji Island. But it's better to be cautious, who knows what the hell these fishmen are up to. The whole army was ordered to enter wartime alert, and the number of patrols in the sea area during the day was doubled, and the number of patrols on the islands was increased at night. And also...... Let the logistics department prepare the supplies, and we will go to sea immediately! Duke commanded, and the military took the order and strode away, conveying his order.
"I've been on this island for almost half a year, and finally a powerful pirate has appeared, I hope it's not too watery." Duke looked at the endless sea and sighed.
Joining the Navy is indeed the wisest choice in the early stages, but it is not possible in the middle and later stages. After the basic training without discrimination, the top echelons of the Navy will screen each layer to select the successors they deem qualified, and pour various resources into these people, such as Devil Fruits or Famous Knives, to train them to become the successor pillars of the Navy, who have a bright future and future achievements at the lowest rank of rear admiral.
The losers can only allocate limited resources, and if they want to climb to the top, they must pay more. Duke was such a loser, and the teachers at the school thought that although this student had excellent grades and was a very talented young man, he lacked the Navy's righteous heart to eradicate evil, so he could not be regarded as a key training goal.
If Duke had known, he would have agreed with the teachers. He didn't join the navy for justice, he just wanted to become stronger and stronger than everyone else. This is the constant goal of the traverser team, and it is also the motivation to work hard for it.
"It depends! If I really can't, I'll just change jobs. "Duke is very single, and after half a year on Red Leaf Island, he gradually lost his patience to climb up. Every time he saw the sea, he felt a desire to run to the sea, but his status as a navy limited him, which made him more and more wavering......
"Captain Duke, all are ready to board the ship and are ready to go." The military cao trotted over, handed Duke his saber, and gave a military salute.
"Very good, let's go!" Duke took the saber and tied it around his waist, draped it with the word justice written on it, and strode towards the port.
……
Somewhere near Momiji Island, a huge pirate ship slowly sailed by, and the captain 'Tiger Shark' Roxon paced back and forth on the deck aimlessly. He was tall, with a mouth full of fangs, a gray face with a long scar oblique, thick spines piercing through his tight clothes, and a neck with the gill of a fish-man.
"Boss, we're almost to the island of Forchat." 'Swordfish' Hasson walked over and said expectantly. His long nose is like a sharp double-edged sword, shining with a metallic sheen, which is very eye-catching.
"That's great to see Big Tiger again, and the Sun Pirates compatriots!" When Roxon heard this, he remembered all the idols of the fish-men, and the hero who saved him from the darkness of hell.
"But the boss ......" Hasen was also excited, and also a little uneasy: "But, we are so blatant, will we provoke the pursuit of the navy?" I'm not afraid of human navies...... I'm just afraid that it will cause trouble for Big Brother Tiger! ”
"Bastard, what stupid are you talking about! Would Big Brother Tiger be afraid of those inferior humans? Roxon glared at his co-captain in dissatisfaction, raised his hand and slapped him over.
Hassan was slapped in the face by this slap, half of his face suddenly swollen, and he was not angry, and explained inarticulately: "Of course Big Brother Tiger will not be afraid, but boss, you also know that Big Brother Tiger is too merciful, and he has never killed humans......"
Roxon interrupted Hasson's words and whispered with a gloomy face: "Big Brother Tiger is indeed too forgiving, but I will not do this, I will never forget the pain that humans have caused us." I don't know why Big Tiger came to Forchat, but I will always remember his kindness, he is the hero of our Fish-People. I'll kill all those naval junks. ”
Husan nodded and agreed, "That's right, boss, all humans deserve to die!" The brothers followed you in the first place to make the human blood pay for the debt, which is the revenge of the fish-people against the humans. ”
Boom——————
A cannonball landed on the sea in front of the Giant Shark Pirates on the right, setting off a large area of seawater and raining down on the deck. The fish on the deck all became soup chickens and roared one after another.
"What's going on, where are the shells?"
"There's a human warship in the back, damn it, the navy."
"Kill them!"
When Luxon heard this, he looked behind him, and saw a naval warship firing shells at this place, and he couldn't help but shout angrily: "Turn the bow of the ship for me and kill it." ”
The fish-man pirates shouted in response, turning the bow of the ship and killing it. A medium-sized warship, fully loaded with only 200 people, dared to attack the Giant Shark Pirates, which was really a long life.
"Captain Duke, our mission is only to patrol, and the order from our superiors is to see the banner of the Giant Shark Pirates and stand by and report in time. Wouldn't it be too reckless to clash with them like this? "When Jun Cao saw the pirate ship sailing over, he swallowed his saliva, and the high bounty of 'Tiger Shark' Roxon and 'Swordfish' Hasen weighed on his head like a mountain, making him afraid before he could fight. And apart from these two murderous captains, the rest of the crew are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they will not be able to get good fruit to eat if they venture into war.
"Order the artillery fire not to stop, and sink their pirate ship before they get closer." Duke ignored the cautious military cao and continued to order the attack.
"Captain Duke......"
"Carry out the order, Juncao." Duke took a deep look at Jun Cao and continued, "The Navy's dictionary doesn't have the words 'flee without a fight'. ”
"I see, I'll carry out the order!"
