Chapter 19: Dialogue with the Lieutenant General
If it is said that in the face of pirates, the villagers of Orange Village can still ignite some blood and dare to go out and fight hard, but now in the face of the navy, even if the villagers are angry, they can't raise the slightest idea of resistance, and under the pressure of knives and guns, no one dares to speak.
The village policeman Ah Jian was speechless at this time, so he could only raise his hand and point at Colonel Mouse tremblingly, sweating profusely.
"Squeak squeak...... Colonel Rat let out a smug laugh and glanced at the villagers and threatened, "Now, answer my question right away, where is that thief Nami now?" If you don't answer, your whole village will be arrested immediately by me on charges of harboring pirates!" β
Although the villagers were afraid, they had been very sorry for Nami for a long time, so they gritted their teeth and remained silent.
But after all, there are people with poor psychological quality, and there are also simple-minded guys, no, several villagers immediately turned their heads and looked at the orange orchard on the edge of the town.
"Oh? Over there? Squeak Squeak...... Thank you so much. When Colonel Mouse found out, he immediately laughed happily, and then raised his hand and waved: "Escort them out!" β
"Yes!" The Navy soldiers listened neatly.
Although Nami's location was revealed, the villagers did not speak, so the others could not say anything to blame, so they could only keep their faces calm and were forced by the navy to walk towards the edge of the town with knives and guns.
After all, the village was small, so after about five minutes of travel, the villagers and the navy came to the edge of the orange grove.
"Is this it?" Colonel Rat looked at the orange grove with a smirk behind his back hand, and after a moment, he raised his hand and waved forward: "Search!" β
"Yes!" The navy soldiers responded immediately, and then rushed towards the orange grove.
"Stop!"
A scream rang out, and Nami and Noki's tall figures emerged from the orange grove, looking at the group of naval soldiers with wary faces.
"Which of you two is Nami?" Colonel Rat asked, looking left and right at Nami and Nokigao.
"Don't you have intelligence!" Ah Jian roared in a low voice.
"Squeak squeak......" Colonel Rat laughed indifferently, raised his hand and twisted the whiskers on the side of his lips, and then said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, the other one is also a pirate shield, let's catch it together." β
"Oh? Could you please say it again? Jing Tian's voice came from the orange grove: "I don't seem to hear clearly. β
With the sound of two footsteps, one fast and one slow, Jing Tian took the child who reported the news and walked out of the orange grove without hurrying.
"Who are you? Well~ Forget it, it's just an accomplice of pirates. Colonel Rat glanced at Jing Tian, then shook his head indifferently.
"I'll just say wait here, you have to walk through the orange grove." Jing Tian didn't pay attention to Colonel Mouse, but said to Nami helplessly, "Look, it's not like you're going to go back again." β
"Stop talking nonsense." Nami glanced at Jing Tian, and said with an unhappy face: "I don't look at the occasion either." β
Jing Tian shrugged his shoulders, then still ignoring Colonel Mouse, turned his head to look at the back of the team, and looked directly at Ah Long, who was being carried by two naval soldiers, and said, "You caused these troubles?" β
"Hmph, hum......" Aaron just sneered, but after glancing at Nami, a look of pleasure appeared on his face that he had succeeded in revenge.
"I shouldn't have left my hand before, just kill you." Jing Tian shook his head helplessly.
"Bastard, dare you ignore me?" Colonel Mouse's face was gloomy, and this time he no longer squeaked and smiled, squinting his eyes and looking at Jing Tian fiercely.
Colonel Rat couldn't stand it, he wanted to kill Jing Tian directly at this moment, but after all, there were too many witnesses around, and if he did it, he could only kill everyone, otherwise if he was accused of 'disregarding human life', there would be no good fruit to eat in the future.
But Colonel Rat didn't have the courage to kill everyone, even if he had that guts, his naval soldiers didn't have it, and it was already the limit to cooperate with him and the pirates in the past, if he really wanted to kill innocents indiscriminately, I'm afraid these soldiers would never support him in the future.
If he couldn't get rid of Jing Tian, Colonel Rat could only continue to play his 'framed' set, so he immediately pointed at Jing Tian and shouted, "Arrest him for me!" He's an accomplice of pirates! β
The surrounding naval soldiers hesitated for a moment, and then they habitually responded loudly, and then two soldiers walked out and rushed towards Jing Tian with knives.
"You dare to slander people!" Nami really regarded Jing Tian as a companion, although she knew that Jing Tian would not be in danger, she still couldn't help but take action, and instantly pulled out three short sticks from under her short skirt, skillfully combined them into a long stick in the air, and forcefully crossed in front of her, stopping the two naval soldiers.
"You dare to resist?" Colonel Rat narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"You don't deserve to be called a navy! He didn't investigate at all, and he convicted people indiscriminately! Nami shouted to the sailors, sending a look of shame on most of the sailors' faces, though only for a moment.
"Squeak squeak......" Colonel Rat suddenly laughed: "It seems that you are Nami, only if you have been a pirate thief can you exercise this courage and dare to block the law enforcement of the navy." β
"I didn't see the navy enforcing the law, I only saw a group of villains wronging people indiscriminately!" Nami fought back in a tough tone.
"Squeak squeak...... Colonel Rat shook his shoulders and raised his hand slightly to point at Nami, "You can leave the rest aside for the time being, but now let's talk about the sins you have committed." β
"Crime? What sin have I committed? Nami asked with a flat face.
"I received a tip that you stole a lot of treasure from pirates, but since the other party is a pirate, I don't plan to embarrass you." Colonel Rat said as he put his hand in the pocket of his trench coat, looked at Nami playfully and said, "However, a thief is a thief, and a crime is a crime, so even if you don't care about your identity as a thief, the stolen goods you stole from criminals should naturally be handed over to our government for safekeeping." β
"What did you say!" Nami was stunned.
"Didn't you hear me?" Colonel Rat bowed his head slightly, his eyes lifted to look at Nami, making his face even more sinister, and said faintly, "I mean, all the treasures you have stolen so far must be handed over to us. β
"You're dreaming!" Nami screamed.
"Squeak squeak...... Search for me! Colonel Rat didn't care about Nami's attitude and immediately waved his hand to give the order.
"I see who dares!" Scrooge's Nami was so angry that she didn't think about anything for a while, and swept out with a stick, smashing a naval soldier in front of her into the air.
"You dare to attack the navy!" Colonel Rat raised his voice with a little excitement as he grabbed the bag, pointed at Nami and said, "Catch her!" I suspect she's not just a thief, she's a member of the Dragon Pirates! If you dare to resist! Shoot on the spot! β
"You dareβ" The villagers of Orange Village couldn't hold back any longer, and many of them suddenly shouted.
Colonel Rat was startled, and hurriedly turned around and shouted to the villagers: "Are you going to attack the navy too!" Figured it out! If you dare to touch me, I'll arrest you all!" β
Once again, the villagers were restrained by the authority of Colonel Mouse.
"Bastard-" Nami gritted her teeth and stared at Colonel Rat in exasperation, "The dragons are destroying towns and killing people wantonly!" You Navy know it! Because of the rule of the pirates! All the people of more than twenty villages and towns on the nearby islands have been turned into slaves! You know that too! β
Pounding the stick to the ground, Nami screamed angrily at all the navies, "Everyone has been waiting for your help!" But I've never seen you! Don't worry about the big questions! But they came here to rob the stolen goods! Why! Is this what the current Navy is doing? Is this the attitude of the government! β
"Squeak squeak......" Colonel Rat laughed contemptuously: "A criminal should have the appearance of a criminal, don't pretend to be noble here, continue to search for me, if you dare to resist, kill on the spot!" β
"Who dares to move!" Nami raised her stick and drank.
"Shoot!" Colonel Rat suddenly issued the order with a gloomy face.
"This ...... Be! One of the Navy soldiers next to him was a little hesitant, but when he saw the gloomy gaze from Colonel Mouse, he could only reluctantly respond, and raised his hand to aim his gun at Nami.
"Namiβ"
"Don'tβ"
"Nami be carefulβ"
At this moment, many people exclaimed.
"It seems...... Forget me......" In the noise, Jing Tian's murmur sounded, but the sound was drowned out in exclamations, and no one heard it.
Bang!
"Don'tβ"
Bellββ
A crisp metal crash sounded and the scene fell silent for a moment.
"Earls......" Nami recovered from her panic and looked at Jing Tian's back a little sluggish, but she quickly reacted, and all the negative emotions on her face disappeared immediately.
Keitama stepped forward just in time, kicked up the scimitar dropped by the naval soldier who had knocked down Nami, and blocked the bullet fired at Nami in his hand.
At this time, hearing Nami's whisper, Jing Tian turned his head with a smile, smiled and bent his eyes, and said, "Nami, it seems that we are going to become a wanted criminal." β
"Hmph......" Nami was silent for a moment, then suddenly snorted like a 'down', and said with a deep resentment in her tone: "If the navy and the government are like this, then even if we are labeled as wanted criminals, what is there to care about......
"There are still most righteous people in the navy." Jing Tian smiled: "But unfortunately, most of the people in the upper class are distorted justice, and the people in the middle and lower classes are stupid blind followers. β
"Block, block, block the bulletβ" Colonel Rat only reacted at this time, his tone suddenly breaking and rising, and glaring at Jing Tian in horror.
"Well, let's deal with the problem at hand first." Jing Tian turned his head, glanced at all the navy soldiers with shocked faces, and gently turned the scimitar in his hand.
"Shoot, shoot! Kill him! Colonel Rat hurriedly screamed and issued the order.
However, Jing Tian will not be beaten passively, as early as when Colonel Mouse called out the first word, Jing Tian suddenly jumped out.
With a 'bang', he stepped out of a small pit on the ground under his feet, and Jing Tian's figure disappeared in an instant, and quickly rushed into the crowd of naval soldiers with the 'shave' of the 'Navy Six'.
The footsteps turned to trample on the gossip direction one after another, and Jing Tian's figure suddenly split into two and two into four, and twelve Jing Tian appeared all the time.
There was a chaotic sound of metal clashing, along with the sound of popping beans, and after two breaths, all the phantoms vanished, and Keiten reappeared in front of Nami.
Puff ...... Puff, puff, puff......
A series of falling sounds rang out, and among the Navy soldiers brought by Colonel Mouse, except for the fish-man who was guarding the fish-man in the rear, the others fell to the ground and fell unconscious, while fragments of scimitars and pistols were scattered all over the ground.
"You, you, you ......" Colonel Mouse, who was deliberately let go, was full of panic, raised his hand and pointed at Jing Tian in horror, stared at his eyes for a while, and finally said the complete words: "You attack the navy!" You're a pirate! You're done! You ......"
"Shut up!" Jing Tian's figure disappeared suddenly, and instantly appeared in front of Colonel Mouse, and the blade of the knife was horizontal, and it slapped on Colonel Mouse's cheek with a 'snap'.
"Ahh
Colonel Rat let out a scream as if he had been killed, and his body suddenly tilted, and he fell to the ground, his cheeks visibly swollen.
"Earls......" Nami came back to her senses at this time, and immediately looked at Jing Tian in embarrassment and said, "You...... I really did it......"
"Don't worry." Jing Tian knew what Nami was worried about, so he couldn't help but look back and smile comfortingly: "Leave it to me." β
"Whew...... Never mind. Nami suddenly let out a long breath, shook her head helplessly, and smiled: "Okay, I'll leave it to you, no matter how you deal with it, it's a big deal to be detained as a pirate and go to sea with you." β
"It's not that serious for the time being." Jing Tian continued to laugh and speak, then turned his head, looked down at the frightened Colonel Mouse, narrowed his eyes and asked, "You should have a phone bug with you, right?" β
"Electricity, what kind of phone bugs......" Colonel Mouse swallowed, his voice trembling.
Syllable!
Jing Tian was unreasonable, and with another flick of his wrist, he slapped the scimitar into Colonel Mouse's face.
"Ahh Colonel Rat screamed and fell to the ground again.
"Where's the phone bug?" Jing Tian's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a smile.
"Electricity, phone bugs......" Colonel Rat raised his eyes to look at Jing Tian, looking at the smile that was not hot, and couldn't help but swallow in horror again.
Syllable!
"Ahh
"The answer is incorrect." Jing Tian continued to maintain a dangerous smile, and his voice was as flat as if it had a terrifying special effect.
"Don't, don't fight! I say! Colonel Rat covered his swollen cheeks, tears and snot flowed, and hurriedly spoke out to stop Jing Tian's continued torture.
"Take it out." The smile on Jing Tian's face was even stronger, but Colonel Rat felt even more chills all over his body.
"In, here......" Reaching out tremblingly, Colonel Mouse took out a telephone bug snail from the pocket of his trench coat and raised his hand to Jing Tian.
"Can this thing contact Navy Headquarters?" Jing Tian asked Colonel Rat in confusion.
"No, no......" Colonel Rat shook his head, only to shake his swollen cheeks and grin in pain.
"Then what use do I want you?" Jing Tian's tone was gloomy, and he raised the scimitar in his hand slightly.
"Wait! Wait a minute! Colonel Rat screamed, "I still have it!" There's another phone bug! β
As he spoke, Colonel Rat put his hand into his coat pocket again, took out another phone bug, and shouted at Jing Tian, "This is okay!" You can contact the headquarters for this! β
"That's right." Jing Tian smiled with a satisfied look and reached out to answer the phone.
However, his arm was halfway stretched and stopped, and Jing Tian remembered that he didn't seem to know how to use a phone bug yet.
"You give me the right to contact the Navy Headquarters." Jing Tian withdrew his hand and ordered to Colonel Mouse.
"Huh?" Colonel Rat was dazed.
"Contact that Lieutenant General Karp, speed." Jing Tian raised his hand, and in the frightened trembling of Colonel Mouse, he put the scimitar on the opponent's neck.
"I, I, what do I say?" Colonel Rat asked with a crying voice.
"Whatever you say, contact Lieutenant General Karp anyway." Jing Tian gently pushed the scimitar, cutting the skin on the neck of the rat colonel, and smiled with a threatening face: "If you dare to talk nonsense......
"No, don't dare, I'll contact you right away!" Two lines of tears burst out of Colonel Mouse's eyes.
Jing Tian raised the corner of his eyebrows, raised his chin to the phone bug, and signaled urging.
Colonel Rat hurriedly withdrew his arm with a tremble, picked up the handset on the back of the telephone snail, and pressed the only button on the back of the call snail.
This call snail is a special line to contact the Navy Headquarters, so it is directly connected to the reception desk of the Navy Headquarters.
"Hello? Navy headquarters? I am Colonel Rat, Navy No. 00733 of the 16th Branch of the East China Sea, and I want to make a request to the headquarters......" Colonel Rat's voice trembled a little, and he said to the intercom in his hand, and looked up at Jing Tian in fear from time to time.
"Ah...... This is the Navy Headquarters, and your identity has been confirmed. A humanized expression appeared on the phone snail's face, and the eyes on the two tentacles were half-narrowed listlessly, and he opened his mouth and said leisurely: "Then say your request." β
"I, I'm ......" Colonel Rat raised his eyes to look at Jing Tian again, then rolled his eyes to look at the scimitar on his neck, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "I ask to speak with Lieutenant General Karp, I, I have something important to report." β
"Please give us a rough outline, and we'll check if you have the qualifications to contact Lieutenant General Karp." The phone bug lifted his spirits a little and said in a serious tone.
"This ......" Colonel Rat looked at Jing Tian, just in time to see Jing Tian was speaking to him, and after reading it, Colonel Rat said to the phone bug: "This is a matter of confidentiality, please be accommodating, if you violate the regulations, I will be responsible." β
"Well, since you said that...... the phone bug made a 'sigh with his eyes closed', and continued, "Then wait a minute, I'll transfer the call line for you." β
"Ah, thank you......" Colonel Mouse looked like he was about to cry again, he knew that the moment he contacted Lieutenant General Karp was the moment of his tragedy, but now that his neck was driven by a sharp blade, Colonel Mouse didn't have the courage to play tricks.
The phone bug began to fall silent, waiting for the transfer line.
The villagers, who had listened to the conversation between Jing Tian and Colonel Mouse, suddenly began to make a low noise, discussing Jing Tian's actions.
"Moximoxie ~ I'm Karp." The sound of the phone bug caused the villagers to put away all their voices in an instant.
The only officer the villagers had ever seen was Colonel Mouse. Even the colonel of the branch of the district can make the villagers dare not resist, let alone an official of the naval headquarters, and he is still a vice admiral. Suddenly, everyone, including Nami, was silent and held their breath, not daring to make any sound.
"Moximoxi, this is the orange village of the East China Sea." Jing Tian stretched out his other hand, snatched the phone bug from Colonel Mouse's hand, took the microphone and said, "I want to report." β
"Oh? Report? The phone bug made a stunned expression, then his eyes curved, his expression turned into a laughing gesture, and at the same time, a voice came out: "Ahahahaha, okay, what do you want to report, just say it." β
"Report that Colonel Rat of the 16th Division of the East China Sea colluded with the Evil Dragon Pirates to maim and enslave the people of more than 20 villages and towns." Jing Tian looked at Colonel Mouse, whose face turned pale in an instant, with a playful look in his eyes, and said to the microphone with the corner of his eyebrows.
"Ahh
"What's going on!" The phone snail continued to play with his face, and suddenly his expression became serious, and at the same time the equally serious voice of Lieutenant General Karp was heard.
"That's ......" Jing Tian immediately started from the beginning, from the invasion of the island by the evil dragon pirates, to the evil deeds of so many years, and finally to the situation of being defeated now, and at the same time, Jing Tian also talked about the collusion between Colonel Rat and the evil dragon gang, of course, Jing Tian used a spring and autumn tone, just to show that this situation was explained by Ah Long on his own initiative.
Karp on the other side listened quietly, and the expression of the phone bug became darker and darker, until Jing Tian finished speaking, Lieutenant General Karp suddenly sighed heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, I know the situation, the old man is now in the East China Sea, but due to some special reasons, please forgive the old man for not being able to deal with it in person." β
"That's it." Lieutenant General Karp continued: "I will send my major generals to investigate, and if the matter is detailed, the old man will definitely give you an explanation!" β
"Then we'll wait." Jing Tian chuckled indifferently and said.
"So, can the situation be controlled now?" Lieutenant General Karp asked.
"There is no problem, whether it is these fallen navies, or the evil dragon pirates, they are now under control." Jing Tian replied.
"Aha, very good, the old man will send someone to rush there as soon as possible, and I will continue to trouble you in the next period." Lieutenant General Karp's voice returned to cheerfulness, and the phone bug made a laughing face.
"It should." Jing Tian said flatly, then raised his hand and hung up the phone.
"It's over......" Colonel Mouse suddenly went limp, and completely collapsed to the ground, looking like he had nothing to love.
"Earls......" Nami whispered, "You...... You are so bold as to talk to the lieutenant general of the headquarters......"
"Can he still eat me?" Jing Tian turned his head and smiled.
Seeing that Nami still looked frightened, Jing Tian couldn't help but shake his head, and while thinking about how to increase Nami's knowledge and bearing in the future, he said: "Okay, this farce is over, everyone help, tie up these navies together, and wait for the headquarters major to investigate." β
"Oh-" The villagers reacted and immediately cheered in response......
