Chapter 66: Assassination
The mouse that popped up out of nowhere is very humane, and its fur is clean, not like a wild mouse, but like a pet that has been kept quietly.
But there are really few people in this world who will keep a mouse as a pet, but there are many other rare and exotic beasts, so it can only be said that this mouse is too smart and knows how to manage its own hygiene.
After the mouse crawled in front of him, Esbagu scratched the mouse's chin with his index finger and innocently asked, "Do you have a master?" ”
Under Jing Tian's surprised gaze, the mouse immediately shook his head and squeaked.
"It's so smart." Esbagu complimented happily, then grabbed the mouse and got up and put it in the suit pocket on his chest.
Seeing this, Kalifa, who was standing on the side, raised her eyebrows and said solemnly, "Mr. Esbagu! This rat has not been quarantined, you ......"
"I don't care." Esbagu looked willful and said indifferently, "I want it to be my pet." ”
"You ...... first"
"I don't care." Esbagu shook his head again and again as if he was playing a child's temper, interrupted Kalifa's suggestion again, and then raised his hand to Jing Tian and waved it: "Farewell Mr. Jing." ”
With that, Esbagu ignored the depressed Kalifa, turned around and strode towards the dock gate.
"Makes you smile." Kalifa bowed slightly to Jing Tian, then pushed his glasses and said, "Then say goodbye." ”
As the words fell, Kalifa also turned around and hurried towards Esbagu.
"Heh......" Seeing the two of them walk out of the dock gate, Jing Tian chuckled and muttered, "Little guinea pig...... So today is the day the Straw Hats are coming......"
"Well, it doesn't matter." Shaking his head, Jing Tian no longer cared about anything else, glanced around at the entire dock, and made a construction plan in his heart at the same time.
Later, after finishing the rough plan, Jing Tian walked towards the lifting platform in the distance......
Since the Straw Hats have arrived on this island, it means that trouble is coming, but Jing Tian is a little curious, now that there is no Robin, what will the Straw Hats continue to make trouble for?
Jing Tian confirmed that the Straw Hats will also lead to chaos, after all, they are the protagonists of the plot, and they are born with an aura that attracts trouble, so even if they don't take the initiative to cause trouble, trouble will take the initiative to find them, and now we will wait to see if there is chaos that will appear and whether there is a scale like the original plot.
In the blink of an eye, the day passes, and the night comes.
Jing Tian spent the whole day preparing for the shipbuilding, although he had a lot of strength and saved a lot of time in moving the materials, but until the evening, he could not handle much of the materials of the entire shipyard, and it took all his time to press and cut the metal plates and all kinds of steel.
Nami and Robin, on the other hand, had been shopping for a whole day, bringing back a lot of bags, and now their bedrooms couldn't fit anything.
But Nami was clearly not satisfied, and while she was sorting things out, she was still muttering to Robin about what else she hadn't bought.
The quiet night just passed.
Of course, it was only Jing Tian who felt quiet, and the next morning, the city was filled with noise.
"What? The mayor was assassinated? Hachi went out to find out and got the news back, and Nami exclaimed when she heard it.
"Dead?" Jing Tian frowned slightly.
"Nope." Xiaoba shook his head: "I heard that I was shot several times, but I rescued it." ”
"There's chaos everywhere." Nami complained unhappily, "I thought the city was peaceful for the past two days." ”
"Will it disturb our shipbuilding plans?" Robin asked Jing Tian.
"It's not a big deal." Jing Tian thought for a while and said, "Wait a minute, I'll take a look." ”
"Speaking of which......" Robin's face was a little hesitant: "When I was shopping yesterday, I always felt that I was being targeted by someone. ”
"What?" Nami exclaimed again and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" When did you feel that way? ”
"I'm not sure." Robin shook his head slightly: "That feeling comes and goes. ”
"Did you spot any suspicious people?" Nami asked.
Shaking his head slowly again, Robin replied, "No, because most of the people around me are wearing masks and hiding their movements and eyes well, so I didn't find anything suspicious." ”
"Really, why are there guys who are eyeing us!" Nami was indignant and hesitated, "Is it because we have shown too much wealth in the past two days?" ”
"It's not very likely...... Robin said and looked at Jing Tian, "What do you think?" ”
"Two possibilities." Jing Tian thought for a while and said, "There will be gray forces in any city, so one possibility is that you are being targeted by the villains of this city, as Nami said; The second possibility is those in the world government......"
"World government?" Nami immediately became serious: "Is it the spy agency you talked about?" ”
"Pretty much." Jing Tian bowed.
"The words of the spy agencies......" Robin recalled, "the most famous is 'CP1' - 'CP8', if it were them, it would be a bit of trouble." ”
"You're saying two less." Jing Tian said softly: "There are also two institutions, 'CP0' and 'CP9'. ”
"Oh?" Robin was slightly stunned.
"Is it troublesome?" Nami asked, "With your strength, you will also find the other party difficult?" ”
"It's just annoying, but the strength is nothing."
"Oh, then don't be afraid." Nami relieved herself and said to Robin, "Then let's pause shopping today and accompany Earls to the dockyard to help." ”
"Okay." Robin smiled.
Jing Tian has no objection, with the help of Nami and Robin, the material processing speed in the early stage will be faster.
After breakfast, everyone went out together after a brief tidying up, walking in the direction of the city hall.
In about twenty minutes, the four of them arrived at the door of the city hall, but they were not able to see Esbagu, because although Esbagu was out of danger at this time, he had not yet woken up from his coma.
The reception of Jing Tian and his party was the mayor's secretary Kalifa, who briefly explained the situation to Jing Tian, and then expressed his gratitude to Jing Tian for coming to visit, and said that this incident would not affect the transaction between the two parties, and finally sent Jing Tian and the four away with full courtesy.
On the way to dock five, Nami said very suspiciously: "That secretary is not simple, and there are also several strong breaths in the building, and with their protection, the mayor is still assassinated?" ”
"Who knows." Jing Tian responded unconcernedly.
"You use the 'Seeing and Hearing Domineering' to perceive it, my range can't cover the entire island." Nami said, "Look at the island if there are any masters. ”
"What? Are you interested in this matter? Jing Tian asked with a smile.
"Uh...... It's just curious. Nami reflected and said, "Forget it, it's none of our business anyway." ”
"Hehe, let's go, we're here." Jing Tian pointed to the huge metal door looming in front of him......
At the same time, inside the town hall.
In a room with the sun on its back and the curtains obscured, an indifferent voice came from the dark shadows: "What do you say from above? ”
"The chief intends to disobey orders." Kalifa's voice rang out, equally indifferent: "The chief wants us to prepare ourselves with both hands, and in addition to completing the main task, we will find a way to bring that Nicole Robin back with us." ”
"Is he responsible for the consequences of disobedience......" The male voice was a little dissatisfied.
"The chief said that as long as Nicole Robin managed to bring Marijoy back to the Holy Land, there would be no trouble." Kalifa replied calmly.
"That's good." The man said in a deep voice, "Do what you plan at night." ”
"Got it." Kalifa nodded.
"Goo-goo-goo......"
The low chirp of the dove sounded, and flapped its wings twice, and the next moment, the man who spoke came out of the shadows, and the light and dark 'line' slowly rose along the man's chest and abdomen, and soon reached the shoulder, revealing a snow-white dove.
The next moment, the man completely stepped out of the shadows, his face grim, it was Rob Luci, one of the five foremen......
In the blink of an eye, it was evening.
Jing Tian's side, with the help of Robin, Nami and Hachi, his speed of processing materials has increased rapidly.
Nami now has a lot of strength, and together with Hachi, she helps Jing Tian support all kinds of steel and iron plates, while Jing Tian maintains the sword qi at his fingertips, cutting the steel, and no longer has to bother to find something to fix it himself.
Robin also had a lot of help, controlling the Devil Fruit to spawn many arms, and she took care of the work of carrying all kinds of materials, so that Jing Tian only had to stand in place and concentrate on handling the materials.
At the end of the day, all the metals needed for shipbuilding were pre-processed by Jing Tian, and even before night came, Jing Tian was already preparing to build the keel of the ship's hull.
However, just as Keitam placed the first keel steel frame, Nami suddenly interrupted solemnly, indicating that a violent storm would soon come.
Jing Tian was stunned for a moment, then he woke up from the state of concentrating on work, and remembered the tsunami in the plot.
Jing Tian immediately put down his work, took the three of them back to the 'Golden Adventure', and asked Moo Moo to pull the boat and take the 'sea water elevator' unique to the 'City of Seven Waters', and moved the boat to the port of the No. 5 dock.
Boom Boom
As soon as the ship was docked, a deafening thunderclap suddenly sounded in the air.
Nami looked up at the dark clouds at the top, frowned for a while, and said, "Find something to fix the ship properly, the weather is very wrong, and the upcoming storm may be bigger than I expected!" ”
Jing Tian was about to make a move, but he was suddenly stunned, and turned his head to look in the direction of the commanding height of the island, that is, the direction of the city hall.
"Hachi, you deal with it." Jing Tian waved his hand and commanded.
"Okay big brother." Hachi hurried to the cabin, and soon walked out with a large bundle of ropes, jumped off the boat and began to fix it.
"What's wrong?" Nami was a little puzzled when she saw Keiten's appearance.
"Looks like I've got to get out." Jing Tian came back to his senses, turned to Nami and Robin and said, "You guys just stay on the boat, pay attention to safety after I leave, Nami be vigilant around, if there is an intruder, don't be polite." ”
"What happened?" Nami was even more puzzled.
"I'm afraid the town hall will be attacked again, I'll go and take a look, don't let Esbagu die." Jing Tian explained.
"Oh, go ahead, take the phone bug, call us for something." Nami didn't think much of it.
"Okay." Jing Tian responded, went back to the cabin and took a small phone bug in his pocket, and after informing him again, he jumped off the boat and walked in the direction of the city hall.
The reason why he acted like this was that Jing Tian suddenly remembered something.
In the original plot, with the intervention of the Straw Hats, Espagu's life was barely saved, but now Robin has been taken on the ship by Jing Tian, so the plot has been completely changed.
Now the Straw Hats don't plan to go to the city hall to get involved, and I guess last night's assassination has nothing to do with them.
In Jing Tian's perception, the Straw Hats are now gathered in the back streets of the city, so in this way, Esbagu's life may be hanging in the balance, even if it is not for the deal with Asbagu, but for the sake of the other party being a good person, Jing Tian will also take action to save the other party's life.
Perceiving the chaos on the other side of the city hall with the 'domineering spirit of seeing and hearing', Jing Tian quickened his pace slightly.
However, it didn't take long for Jing Tian to be suddenly stunned, because he felt that Esbagu's aura suddenly weakened.
Before he had time to think about it, there was a 'bang' explosion under Jing Tian's feet, and his figure instantly rose to the sky, and after stepping on the 'moon step' twice, he changed to running the 'Sky Dancing Technique', and Jing Tian flew quickly towards the city hall.
Boom -
Seeing that he was about to get closer, he suddenly burst into an explosion and fire in the city hall building, which made Jing Tian's eyebrows freeze and speed up again.
Coming to the scene in the blink of an eye, Jing Tian did not pause, following the breath of Esbagu, a fierce man plunged into the sea of fire.
Releasing the aura shield to block out the flames, Jing Tian slammed open a wall, kicked several large pieces of building debris away, and soon entered a room full of flames.
"It's okay......" With a low mutter, Jing Tian walked quickly to the center of the room, squatting down to expand the range of the aura shield and extinguish the flames that came from the fight.
Reaching out his hand, Jing Tian examined the unconscious Esbagu and found that although the injuries were serious, only one of the several bullets in his body pierced the stomach, and the others did not hit the vital point.
Stretched out his sword finger to stop the bleeding at Esbagu's point, and then helped Esbagu to his feet, raised his palm and quickly slapped the opponent's back a few times.
Whoosh!
Four distorted bullets flew out of Esbagu's chest wound in an instant, carrying blood into the rising sea of fire.
"Hmm......" Esbagu in a coma showed a painful look, and slowly opened his eyes with a low groan.
"Yes...... You ......" It took nearly ten seconds for Esbagu to see Jing Tian's face clearly, and he groaned softly in confusion.
"You owe me my life." Jing Tian used the 'Medical Ninjutsu' to treat Asbagu's injuries simply, and said jokingly, "Then can we discount the deal between us?" ”
Esbagu was silent for a moment, then grinned the corners of his mouth, his voice was intermittent, and he said with the same joke: "I still think ...... For, you have to put all ...... All the money is free......"
"I can't let you go bankrupt." Jing Tian joked again, and then withdrew his right hand that shrouded Esbagu's chest: "Okay, the injury is under control for the time being, let's go out first." ”
"Thank you." Esbagu had already seen the situation around him clearly, looking at the flames that seemed to be deliberately avoiding him and Jing Tian, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
Jing Tian didn't want to hug Esbagu in the posture of a princess, so he didn't take care of the other party's thoughts, and directly lifted Esbagu up with the back collar.
In the midst of Esbagu's wry smile, Jing Tian jumped out of the broken wall with his opponent, causing a burst of exclamations from the crowd outside.
"It's Mr. Espagu! Let go of Mr. ”
As soon as Jing Tian landed, someone with good eyes recognized Esbagu and immediately took the lead in drinking at Jing Tian.
"Wait! He doesn't look like a murderer! Someone was more restrained and hurriedly reminded.
Esbagu was still awake, so he quickly explained Jing Tian's identity, and at this moment, the surrounding employees and citizens suddenly changed their mood, and they shouted thank you to Jing Tian, and some even knelt down in tears.
"That's right! Barry! Mr. Barry! A boatman with a saw knife on his back suddenly exclaimed, then grabbed Jing Tian's arm and pleaded loudly: "You are a doctor!" Save Mr. Barry! He had fallen from the upper floors just now, and he hadn't woken up until now! ”
"Ahem, Barry! How is he? Hearing this, Esbagu hurriedly asked, and turned his head earnestly to look at Jing Tian.
"I'll take a look at where it is." Help others to the end, Jing Tian asked.
"Here! Mr. Barry is here! There was shouting from a crowd in the distance.
"Pick up Esbagu and go over there." Jing Tian instructed the people around him.
"Yes!"
Barry's injuries were much worse than Esbagu's, with a bloody hole in his right shoulder, an 'X' cut on his chest, and because there were no professional doctors in the crowd around him, all the wounds were just wrapped around him with bandages, which were already red with blood.
However, the other party's breath is still there, and I have to make Jing Tian sigh that the vitality of human beings in this world is really not ordinary tenacity.
After removing the bandage, Keitian examined the wound and treated it to stop the bleeding, and then began treatment using 'Medical Ninjutsu'.
In the bursts of exclamations that sounded around him, all the scars on Barry's body healed in about ten minutes, and if it weren't for the blood all over his body and the pink skin left by the healing scars, almost everyone would have thought that Barry had not been injured at all.
After Barry's treatment was completed, Jing Tian began to re-treat Esbagu, but it took longer to treat Esbagu, after all, Barry only had one penetrating wound, while Esbagu had four 'fresh' wounds that were almost penetrating, plus two old wounds from yesterday.
After half an hour, Jing Tian put away the green light on his palm, and whispered to Asbagu, who was full of shock: "Get up, feel if there is anything uncomfortable." ”
"This, this ......" Esbagu got up, looked at his hands, and touched the wound on his body with both hands, his expression even more surprised.
"Is this the ability of the Devil Fruit?" Esbagu couldn't help but ask.
"No, it's just pure medical skills." Jing Tian didn't bother to explain, so he planned to be vague.
"What kind of medical skills can achieve this level ......?"
"Squeak-"
A shrill rat cry sounded, successfully interrupting Esbagu's curiosity.
Everyone looked down, only to see the little mouse that Esbagu casually picked up passed through the crowd from the side, quickly crawled under Esbagu, straightened up and screamed, and the rat's face was very humane and full of worry.
"Oh, Tyrannosaurus, it's great you're okay." Esbagu looked delighted, and quickly bent down to hold the mouse up in the palm of his hand.
"Mr. Espagu......" Barry couldn't help but let out a low cry when he saw that the treatment was over, and his eyes were full of pain as he looked directly at Asbagu.
Esbagu's eyes also flashed with a hint of pain, and he sighed slightly, shaking his head at Barry.
"Then there's nothing going on here, so I'll take my leave." Jing Tian didn't want to stay longer, so he said goodbye.
"This ...... Well, thank you, Your Excellency. Esbagu replied after a deep sigh, and solemnly bowed slightly to Jing Tian.
"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Barry hurriedly bent down and bowed ninety degrees to Jing Tian.
"Thank you, benefactor!"
"Thank you! You are the great benefactor of our entire capital of seven waters! ”
The surrounding boatmen and people also shouted their thanks to Jing Tian.
"Then you take care of things first." Jing Tian nodded and took thanks, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and left directly, because he sensed some situations, and now the group of people from 'CP9' actually found the Straw Hats, and Jing Tian planned to take a look.
It's not good to use the 'Sky Dancing Technique' too shockingly, and it's also not good to use the 'Moon Step', after all, the attacker just now used the 'Moon Step', and Jing Tian didn't want to explain anything more.
Quickly leaving the city hall, away from the sight of the crowd, Jing Tian jumped up, jumped on a roof, and then accelerated his speed and rushed in the direction of his perception.
This time it was still a step late, and by the time Kei Tian arrived at the location of the perception, the 'CP9' gang had already escorted Usopp and Frankie out of the building, while Luffy and the others were nowhere to be seen.
Standing behind the chimney on the roof of a house, Jing Tian watched the 'CP9' gang leave, and when he was nowhere to be seen, Jing Tian jumped off the roof and walked into the old warehouse.
The wall on the other side of the room had cracked and collapsed for the most part, and looking around the warehouse, Jing Tian only saw a knife falling on the ground, but not Zoro.
Let go of the 'Seeing and Hearing Domineering' perception circle, and only then can I sense the breath of Zoro and Luffy far away, while the breath of Chopper and Nami is not far from the outside of the building.
Ignoring it, Jing Tian stepped forward to pick up Zoro's 'Three Generations of Onito', and then walked to the riverbank that passed through the room, raising his hand to stroke the hull of the 'Merry'.
After a while, Jing Tian sighed...... (To be continued.) )
