Chapter 18: The Turbulent South China Sea

"Hey, did you hear that? The naval base on Kaqira Island was actually captured by pirates. ”

"Well, I heard that, I'm going to go out to avoid the limelight, it's too close to Kaqira Island, I'm worried that something will happen."

On the island near Kakira Island, the townspeople are discussing this matter, and in the four seas, this is already big news, and the naval base has actually been captured by pirates, which is something that no one expected.

"Where do you want to go? The naval bases have been captured, and now that we're on land, you won't have anywhere to run if you run into those pirates at sea. ”

"But in case they come and ransack this place... I want to go to the Kingdom of Federi, which is a member of the World Government, so it should be safer. ”

This kind of thing happened in the otherwise calm four seas, which made people panic, and the other naval branches in the South China Sea chose to shrink their defenses instead of supporting.

The naval branch of Kaqira Island is the strongest branch in the South China Sea, and just like Smoker stationed in Rogue Town, the guard here is also the colonel of the headquarters, and the navy under its jurisdiction is also elite, such a branch has been defeated, and the branch of the contract cannot help at all.

Moreover, most of the base facilities on Kaqira Island are intact, and it is unrealistic to complete revenge with the strength of the South China Sea Navy, and the nearby branch has no choice but to choose Mingzhe to protect himself, which has also led to the recent rampant pirates in the South China Sea.

This is also the reason why that person wants to hide in the Federi Kingdom, as a member country of the world government, their country also has a large number of navies, and their kingdom army is not weak, and the domestic environment is not bad.

"It will take at least three days to sail from here to the kingdom of Federi, and such a ship will either run away a long time ago, or dare not go out to sea, do you want to row your fishing boat? Come with me to the mountains and hide for a while.

Those pirates are just for money, and they won't go to the mountains and forests. ”

......

On the island of Shire, which is some distance from the island of Kakira, on the surface of the sea, three ships engaged in an artillery battle, two belonging to the pirates and one belonging to the navy.

Both in terms of the tonnage of the ships and in the firepower, the ships of the Navy are at an advantage.

Although the latest order in the South China Sea is that the navy near Kaqira Island is not allowed to attack at will, shrink its defenses and wait for reinforcements from its headquarters, not all navies can tolerate this order.

There are depraved vampires in the navy, and as a navy, they do the same thing as pirates, but there are also people who truly follow the justice in their hearts and fight to keep the people safe.

Despite the order, some branches are carrying out activities to combat pirates.

"Major! Not enough ammo! All the previous supplies are stuck on the island of Kachira, and we are already out of shells! ”

"Lean over and get ready to take on the broadside! Where did these damn pirates come from.... Ladies and gentlemen, we must not retreat, and if we do, what will happen to the inhabitants of the nearby islands, get ready, you are going to go! ”

"Yes!"

Eventually, one of the two ships escaped, the other was captured, and all the remaining pirates on board were captured.

"Major, the colonel's call, let's return to the base immediately, there are other pirate groups near the base, and the base is not manpowered."

Recently, the number of pirates in the South China Sea has entered a period of soaring, and some of the people who were hesitant before have joined the ranks of the pirates in this situation, when the desire in their hearts is triggered, and the fall of people is only in an instant.

These surge in number of pirates, combined with the orders of the headquarters, led to a shortage of personnel in the navy, and the navy branch that was still on duty became overstretched.

For the escaped pirate ship, they did not continue to pursue, because that direction was Kachira Island, this major was upright, but not stupid, the number of pirates gathered there was not something that a medium-sized warship like him, which had run out of shells, could deal with.

And the order of the headquarters is to let those pirates go and wait for the reinforcements from the headquarters to arrive and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

While those pirates were rampant, a huge encirclement network was laid down by the navy.

.......

However, the pirates of the navy's actions do not know, and these pirates living in the four seas do not know how terrible the monsters on the great voyage are, and their actions have touched the bottom line of the navy, and even the world government feels shameless.

So in terms of mobilization, the annihilation force led by the admiral is already on the way.

It's just that the admiral usually carries out tasks in more important places, so it will take a while to get here.

And those pirates were still immersed in their own carnival at this time, and more and more pirates began to gather on Kaqira Island.

"Captain, are we really going to Kakira Island? We're just cannon fodder there. ”

On a pirate ship, there was some hesitation in the first mate's tone, and the bounty he and the captain's combined offer was only three million Bailey, and he didn't feel that he was qualified to participate in such a thing.

When some people are carried away by desire, it is not impossible for a sober person in the world to change the captain's orders.

"Don't be afraid, those navies of Branch 277 have been defeated, and that is the legendary pirate from the Great Voyage, Captain John, who has a bounty of 2.1 billion Baileys!

How can we let go of this kind of opportunity, as long as we take this line, we can also go to the great voyage. ”

The bounty issued by the navy for wanted pirates was instead used as a bragging capital for the pirates, which was not common in the New World, and everyone there understood that the bounty was at most a reference, and strength was the key.

But in the four seas and even in Paradise, many pirates see bounties as an alternative manifestation of strength.

However, the bounty is based on a combination of their strength and degree of harm, and some people's bounties have nothing to do with their strength, but their crimes are too serious, or they know too much.

As he spoke, he pulled the first mate to his side and whispered: "Besides, even if it's cannon fodder, it's those idiots who don't even have a bounty to do it." ”

"Little ones! Hurry up, Captain John is saying he wants to share the world's greatest treasure with us! That's certainly a treasure you'll never be able to spend in your lifetime. ”

That is, Kaido is not here, and if he hears this, I'm afraid he will cramp with laughter.

One of the biggest jokes on the Rocks Pirates, John is willing to share his treasure.

If it weren't for the fact that the marks on the photograph were similar to John's, Kaido would have been able to conclude that John was a fake based on the phrase "sharing the treasure".

At this time, in the room of the former base chief of the 277th branch of the Navy, a man wearing a red coat with a Western sword and a long sword hanging from his waist on both sides was sitting on a chair with Erlang's legs crossed.

There was a phone bug in front of him that hadn't closed the receiver yet, but it seemed to have hung up on the other side, and there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
