The heavy clouds in the sky fluttered rapidly with the fierce wind, and the dark clouds under the layers were like hungry hunting beasts watching the sea.

Admiral Crohn looked up at the sky where no sunlight was visible, and muttered, "...... The rain is coming. ”

Colonel Crohn's aide-de-camp, Captain Daniz, stood beside him and reminded, "Sir, the time is almost up, and in 30 minutes at most, the ship of the 'Murder Chain' will reach the sea near the entrance to Upside Down Mountain, and the wind is in their favor. ”

Colonel Crohn smiled wryly: "Even if they arrive, what can we do?" The order of the headquarters is very clear - do not provoke the 'evil chain' and let them enter the great route. ”

Crohn was very unwilling, his best chance to return to his headquarters was to run to the Great Voyage with such a swagger. And he still has to stay in this barren West Sea, and he is likely to stay for the rest of his life.

He had to do something.

At this time, there was a burst of exclamations from the watchtower.

"It's coming! It's the ship of the 'Murder Chain'! ”

"It's too fast! How could there be such a fast ship! 10 points left...... No, there are still 3 minutes to go, and the 'Murder Chain' will reach the nearby sea! ”

Crohn walked briskly to the edge of the deck, and in the distance the sea could already faintly see the brig that had hit the 'chain of murders'.

What a speed! This dark blue schooner is like a flying fish between the crests of the waves, weaving through the waves.

Crohn's eyes narrowed, the draught ...... Didn't they bring any supplies? No, not only the necessary supplies for survival, the ship even had a small number of artillery!

It's not that you're too confident in yourself, it's just sheer stupidity, isn't it, Mafia Victor? The sea is not a playground, don't you, as a fisherman's son, even understand that?

Crohn thought about it for a moment, and realized that something was wrong. According to the deduction of past behavior, Mafia Victor is not the kind of reckless man who is so confident that he is blind, is it...... Use the ability of the Zipper Fruit to store all the materials in the zipper space?

Damn, why didn't the Navy realize that the Zipper Fruit was such a powerful Combat Auxiliary Dual Cultivation Devil Fruit in the first place!

The Navy can't really be blamed for this. It was also a coincidence that Colonel Marven ate this fruit at the beginning, although he then reported the fruit's ability and previous appearance, but it was only a month after eating the fruit, coupled with his own limited talent, Marven only developed the logistics ability of material storage.

Originally, the Navy Headquarters planned to summon him to play a role in the logistics force, but before the transfer arrived, Marven first encountered the notorious 'Copper Apple' pirates, and died tragically at the hands of 'Bronze Fang' Xiuleg. The chain fruit also disappeared into the sea.

No one thought that the reappearance of the Chain Fruit would be in such a shocking posture.

The ship is getting closer.

On the deck of the Beagle, Victor held the railing and controlled the sails with a zipper. Under his control, the Beagle slowed down and gradually approached several naval warships guarding the entrance to Upside Down Mountain.

"Good afternoon, Colonel Crohn." Victor smiled and greeted the middle-aged navy on the deck of the battleship opposite.

"I didn't expect the 'murder chain', which has been in the limelight recently, to know the name of an ordinary naval colonel?" Crohn's eyes narrowed even more. He had never dealt with the zipper man head-on, but he recognized him at a glance.

He had already investigated himself?

Before he could think about it, Victor smiled and said, "I'm also eating in Alghero Town, how can I not know the commander of the 91st Navy Branch." ”

Crohn smiled incredulously and asked, "I wonder where Mr. Mafia wants to go?" The town of Alghero is not in this direction. ”

"Some things don't sound good if they are said too clearly, Mr. Crohn." Victor's smile decreased slightly, obviously a little tired of Crohn's ignorance: "Are you sure you want to stop me?" ”

Crohn forced himself to calm down and said loudly, "I know you're very powerful, 'Murder Chain'. But now that the battlefield is on the sea, and two of the three of you have eaten the Devil Fruits, even if you can survive the fire of these three warships, will you still survive at sea? ”

Victor sneered, the five fingers of his right hand were opened, and with a twist of his wrist, five golden chain blades quickly connected to the hulls of the three naval warships.

"Metal zipper, five-string lute, puppet ballad!"

Both Krohn and his sailors felt that everything was starting to go wrong.

First of all, the cable launched the betrayal.

All the cables began to get restless and break free from the hands of the sailors. They were horrified to find that the rope was gradually stained with a metallic hue and twisted and wriggled like a python.

The adjutant, Captain Daniz, immediately ordered a bombardment of the Beagle, but there was no movement. He ran to the lower compartment to see that all the artillery had begun to be assimilated by the zipper, and could not shoot shells at all.

I don't know who shouted, 'Devil Fruit abilities are afraid of sea water!' The sailors hurriedly scooped up the sea water and threw it at the cannons and cables. But nothing worked other than to completely extinguish the cannon's fire.

The sailors raised their muskets and tried to fight back, but they were bound and hung upside down from the mast by the ropes of betrayal. Muskets and swords were scattered on the deck. Colonel Crohn was left alone on the deck intact.

Colonel Crohn stood at the edge of the deck with a blushing face, his knuckles clenching the railing white.

Disgrace! Is there anything more shameful than forcibly plundering his ships in front of a navy? This damn gangster bunch!

The ropes slowly coiled around the necks of the sailors, and at the slightest thought of Victor, hundreds of sailors would be immediately and miserably hanged on their own warships.

“…… I'm sorry, I just lost my words. We're just guarding against criminals forcibly crossing Upside Down Mountain, and you, Mr. Victor, are obviously not on guard. …… Please be merciful. ”

Crohn bowed slightly in humiliation and apologized to Victor.

"Mr. Crohn, what are you talking about? I'm just kidding everyone. Victor smiled slightly, his right hand flexed, and the five chain blades were instantly retracted. The cables on the battleship also returned to calm, and the sailors all fell to the deck.

Since being woken up by Moonlight Moria's words, Victor has truly understood why his chain fruit has been assessed as a special superhuman fruit by the special insight and domineering 'Apocalypse'. Not only because it has the ability of 'super-human', 'super-power', and 'super-creation' at the same time, but more importantly, it is born with the ability to semi-awaken! Once in contact, it can open the chain and manipulate non-living objects at will. And the zipper itself is not afraid of the effect of sea water and sea building stone, unless the two are in direct contact with their own body.

Three battleships will give way in the direction of the entrance to the Upside-Down Mountain. Under the silent gaze of the sailors, the Beger sailed again and headed straight for the entrance of the Upside-Down Mountain.

When he was on the wrong ship with Crohn, Victor smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Crohn, I'm just going for a ride on the Great Voyage." I'll be back soon when I'm tired of playing, so let's have a drink! Goodbye! ”

The Beagle gradually accelerated and sailed out of the sea.

The adjutant, Captain Daniz, was unwilling, and walked up to Colonel Krohn and whispered, "Sir, do you want to use some means against the 'coral' people left in the West Sea?" ”

Crohn shook his head, sighed and said, "Forget it, just do what the headquarters said, don't provoke him." Don't you understand what he meant? Once we move his people, he won't let us go. Besides, we don't have the right reason...... Such a monster can't be trapped in the West Sea in the first place, so let's let the generals of the headquarters of the Great Voyage have a headache for him! ”

Krohn still doesn't understand why Victor, who slapped the world government in the face, wasn't rewarded, and even the navy's internal simulation bounty was canceled.

But that's not something he can worry about.

“…… Let's go back to Alghero. I'd like to eat the baked cheese bagel from 'Simon Cheese Rings'. ”
