Chapter 10: The Fruit of the Scythe
Men and women match, work without getting tired. This statement is generally true. If the matching woman is a beautiful woman, then it is even more right. But now Nick doesn't think so.
The reason why Tina came to him was the mysterious mission that Tina mentioned before: to capture the Devil Fruit - Scythe Fruit (TV Original Fruit), after Nick learned about it, he was a little embarrassed, and the Scythe Fruit appeared again, indicating that Luffy had entered the Great Voyage, and he was still playing in the East China Sea.
The Navy has received reliable information that the Pink Pirates and the Black Rhino Pirates will be traded for the Sickle Fruit Pink Pirates and the Black Rhino Pirates, on a deserted island in the first half of the Great Voyage, Swamp Island. The total bounty of the Black Rhino Pirates on both sides of the transaction reached 135 million, and the total bounty of the Pink Pirates was also 70 million.
It is not easy to capture the Sickle Fruit and destroy these two pirate groups, and the Navy Headquarters attaches great importance to this mission, so the candidates are Colonel Tina, Commodore Smoker, and Commodore Viodai, who have both experience and strength.
Brigadier General Smoker, however, ignored the summons and went to Alabastan. The trio vacated a place, many of the optional talents were not in the main department, Tina read Nick and Rowan, and recommended their names, and it happened that Nick's name was seen by Karp again, and casually said that this kid is a manufacturable material, so it was decided.
Nick laughed when he heard the news at first, Smoker was in Alabastan and Luffy fell in love and killed each other, this kind of trivial thing naturally won't come, but I don't know what kind of character Blackbeard is, and he actually let a man of the level of Fire Fist Ace chase and kill.
The second reaction was to be happy, to be recognized by Mr. Karp, even if it was casually said, it was amazing. And to be able to act with Tina, what an exciting thing.
But after calming down, Nick found that his strength was definitely the worst among the three-person team, and he knew that Nick still had it. If the enemy is weak, it's okay, but I'm afraid that the enemy is strong, and he will drag his feet, which is not good.
With four days to go, Nick, who was under tremendous pressure, began to prepare frantically, and even turned over the pistol Nick, which had long been out of use. From morning to night, Nick was sharpening his guns, and his cultivation time was twice as long as usual, but Nick still felt that it was not good, and he was very worried.
Time waits for no one, and four days pass in an instant. In this operation, Nick didn't even bring Rowan, and arranged for Rowan to take good care of Xia and a few children to adapt to the life of Marin Fodo, so he went to find Tina and set off together.
In her boat, Nick met Viody, a tall man of ordinary appearance, with short black hair like steel needles, and his strong muscles silently spoke of his strength. He was followed by a thin old man, of course, this was relative to him, this old man was about the same size as Nick, but the old man couldn't speak, and he smirked and nodded every time someone said a word.
After Viodei's introduction and Tina's secret make-up lessons, Nick learned that the old man was Viodei's father, who used to be a rear admiral, and after he was old, he had Alzheimer's, and he didn't even know Viodei, and he usually did some stupid things, and Viodai was always by his father's side when he didn't worry about his father's safety.
Originally, Nick was worried about his father's safety for Viodday, but after hearing Tina say that the old man was better than him, he obediently shut up.
Speechless all the way, because Nick spent all his time preparing for the next day, according to the calculation of the bounty and personal record, Nick should not be able to defeat the captain of the Pink Cloud Pirates, the pirates with a bounty of 50 million - Pink Rose Flor and the captain of the Black Rhino Pirates with a bounty of 85 million Black Rhino Montakoro. But these two should not be the opponents of their foursome, as for some pirate miscellaneous fish, the soldiers on the Tina warship can clean it up.
If there are no accidents, this operation should be stable. However, it is understood that the person who revealed the news this time is Infernal Affairs, and God knows if he will continue to sell the news to others. Of course, it is with this in mind that Nick will be added to the trio.
Came to the trading place Swamp Island, Tina's warship stopped in a recessed seaside cave, the naval soldiers went to the coast around the trading place in advance to ambush, and the three of Nick also began to act, one person guarded one direction, the plan was very simple: as soon as the Pink Pirates with the Devil Fruit landed, they would go directly, and the three of them would join forces to break the Pink Cloud Pirates first to grab the fruit, and then destroy the Black Rhino Pirates.
But the actual situation is not too good, the swamp island is full of wet and dangerous swamps, and the navy soldiers can only soak in the water to hide, which consumes a lot of physical strength, and it is also very dangerous to fight rashly on the swamp island, and falling into the swamp is not a joke for ordinary naval soldiers.
But the arrow is ready to fly, and it has to be sent. Nick silently waited in the direction he was guarding, looking forward to the successful completion of the operation.
As night falls, the unseen figures, and transactions emerge. At about nine o'clock in the evening, the Black Rhino Pirates' pirate ship appeared on the surface, and Nick could clearly see the skull and rhinoceros horns on the pirate flag.
Tina's signal was sent to wait for them to go ashore first, and not to do anything, otherwise they might scare away the Pink Pirates who came later.
The Black Rhino Pirates did not land directly, but vigilantly circled around the swamp island, which made Nick a little worried about whether the warship would be discovered.
At this time, the shadow of another ship appeared on the sea level. Nick notices the iconic skull, which is supposed to be the ship of the Pink Pirates. Gradually, Nick realized that the ship was coming straight in the direction he was keeping.
The two pirate ships should be connected to each other, as the Black Rhino Pirates' pirate ships stopped circling immediately after the Pink Pirates appeared, and circled in the direction that the Pink Pirate Ship was coming from to prepare for landing.
At this time, Tina gave the order, and Viodet and his father dragged the Black Rhino Pirates first, and she came over with Nick to snatch the Scythe Fruit first, and then went over to support.
The pirate ship is getting closer. Nick began to adjust his breathing, silently clenching Fengqing in his hand.
But at this moment, the accident suddenly happened, and the Pink Pirates and the Black Rhino Pirates began to shell the swamp island for no reason, and dozens of shells fell on the swamp island, but fortunately, the naval soldiers were ambushed on the edge of the island, and the shelling fell in the middle of the island, and no one should be injured.
When the shelling subsided, both pirate ships were sure that the other party had not ambushed the island in advance, and then they began to approach and prepare for a deal.
Anchored, the ship stopped, and the Pink Pirates landed in front of Nick, at which point Tina rushed to Nick's side, waiting for the target to appear.
