Chapter 7: The Dark World of the North Sea

"My lord! My lord... Spare your life! ”

At Estes' feet, a one-eyed man was trembling.

The cold air of the tavern escaped, and the one-eyed man lay on the ice, not daring to make any other small movements except begging for mercy.

The originally noisy and chaotic tavern has now turned into an ice crystal palace, the dark blue ice surface adds a bit of nobility, and the one-eyed man is surrounded by no living people, leaving only ice crystal statues one by one.

The statues glared angrily, with knives and guns, staring in the direction of Estes, but it was all in vain, and they didn't even have time to show their expressions of fear before they turned into ice ghosts.

"Tell me about your relationship with Doflamingo."

The cold voice sounded to the one-eyed man like the sound of divine salvation, and he seemed to see the hope of life.

"Peng!"

The one-eyed man obediently explained everything, and Estes pressed lightly under his feet, and his head was like a fragile watermelon bursting open.

Red and white, the brains mixed with blood flowed everywhere on the ice.

But the icy cold soon froze everything and froze!

Estes turned and walked out of the tavern, followed by Mayne.

All that remains in the tavern is a blooming blood-colored ice crystal flower.

"Where are you going?"

On the boat, Will asked.

"Rubek Island!"

Will informed Nair and Bueno and continued to ask.

"Judging from the charts, there are two other islands near Roubeck Island, namely Mignon Island and Haiyan Island, both of which are uninhabited islands, so why go there?"

Inside the captain's room, Will's eyes were fixed on the three islands on the chart.

The islands are small and close, and the strange topography and small island size make these three islands unsuitable for trade and life.

"Remember that five billion Bailey's Devil Fruit?"

"The Devil Fruit that the World Government has put a bounty?"

"Yes, although the news is expressly forbidden, it is noisy in the dark world, and the gang leader is providing information to Don Quixote."

"Don Quixote and the world of darkness? What is his relationship with the gangsters on this island? ”

"This is the true face of the Don Quixote!"

Estes spoke eloquently.

"The news in the newspapers about the gangsters fighting is actually a struggle among the gangs for the right to sell arms and arms.

As an independent island, Yin Xiudun Island has no national governance, no naval station, and there are many pirates coming and going.

Among them, the cake of arms could not be bigger.

It can be sold to civilians as a weapon to defend against gangsters, and it can also be sold to pirates, and at the same time, in addition to the member countries, the non-member countries in Beihai have frequent wars, and the military is the main trafficker, and there are even revolutionary armies intervening in it. ”

"So, the Don Quixote Pirates and the arms... No, what does it have to do with the underground dark world? ”

Will contacted Doflamingo when he landed on the island, and probably guessed.

"It should be so, the gang doesn't know how powerful the Don Quixote Pirates really are, he is only responsible for selling arms and providing them with information.

But it is not difficult to imagine that a group of more than 200 million pirates has been stranded in this part of the North Sea for so many years, just to make a circle?

It must be a whole industrial chain, an industrial chain that the Don Quixote Pirates are reluctant to give up.

Arms, intelligence, the dark world, and even more! ”

"In this way, everything makes sense, even if there is a navy chasing after it, it will still develop in the North Sea."

Will sighed and thought of the news that Vice Admiral Crane of the Navy had been hunting down the Don Quixote Pirates.

"I have a general view of the world, the navy claims justice, but in fact only serves the world government and the member countries, and everything on the land on the island cannot be interfered with.

Just like the gangster that General Estes wiped out with your hands, if the naval strength boasted in the newspapers was true, such a thing would be easily investigated, but the navy and even the world government didn't even investigate, just sent vice admirals to chase the pirate ships!

Allow non-member countries, or even islands without naval bases, to grow in darkness.

Pirates are not terrible, and this stupid way of dealing with them is the reason why this world is rotten. ”

Estes shook his head and said.

"Not really, it's just not worth caring about, and even I suspect that the arms business of the dark world is even intervened by the world government."

Will was silent for a moment, agreeing with what Estes said.

This chaotic situation may be exactly what the world government wants to see.

"But it's good, and it's the best news for us."

"General Estes wants to use Doflamingo's hand to control the dark world of the North Sea!"

Will quickly let go of his pity for the ordinary people of this world, he is a kind person, and at the same time he will not forget where his ass is sitting?

As a general of the Empire, I will not forget my duty.

And looking at Estes's playful expression, Will immediately understood what she meant.

"Just for Your Majesty..."

A rare smile appeared on Estes' face, and Will on the side pretended not to see it.

"It's about a week's journey from Rubek Island, and with the news stalled, we can't be sure of the true movements of the Don Quixote Pirates, so I'm afraid we'll miss out."

On the sea, the most difficult thing to transmit is the information and the long voyage time.

Now that they have just come to this world, there is no development force, let alone an intelligence organization, and only the violent interrogation of Estes is the fastest and one-time news.

But for the next week, I didn't stay, I had to rely on blind piercing.

"It doesn't matter, as long as he's still in the North Sea, he's still in this world, he can't run away!

If he can't find it, he will never be able to sit still! ”

Estes didn't care, Doflamingo had become the prey of her targeting, and once she was targeted, there would be absolutely no possibility of escape!

Even death requires her permission!

If before, Estes was only interested in training because of Doflamingo's unruly bounty order.

But now, a huge underground industry, for Estes, His Majesty will definitely like it.

As for Doflamingo?

It's just an incidental.

What's more, what kind of ethereal devil fruit and five billion Bailey, Estes doesn't care about it.

Before coming, Heaton didn't tell Estes what Devil Fruit to pay attention to.

What's more, the Devil Fruit is a foreign object after all, and she doesn't think that the pirates in the New World, who are called monsters, rely on the Devil Fruit to dominate the world.

"Now that General Estes has a plan in mind, let's go full speed!"

......

A week later.

"Warring States, this kid, where did you get the intelligence, set up such an ambush, Doflamingo, this guy didn't come alone!"

Wearing emerald green earrings, wearing a vice admiral's coat and a pink lining, the crane with silver-gray hair swore and scolded.

She combed her hair into a ponytail, revealing that her forehead was already wrinkled, but her neutral tone and heroic posture did not look old at all.

At this moment, an island in the shape of a petrel is in front of you, quiet, without movement.

The sky was full of snowflakes, but there was silence and no sound at all, which made people feel a little anxious.

"Brubru Brubru~"

The strange enjoyment of the phone bug interrupted Tsuru's complaining, and the tall, green-headed adjutant behind him picked up the phone bug.

"Moses, Moses... Hi! ”

After a phone call, the chubby explosion-headed adjutant reported to Lieutenant General Tsuru.

"Lieutenant General Ahe! The ship monitoring the island of Mignon brought in the news, and fierce gunfire was heard on the island! ”

"Huh? The island where the waste is located? Is it Dover? ”

Tsuru asked.

"No, the gunfire is sparse, and it is suspected that there is an internal dispute."

The adjutant replied.

"Send a ship close to the island of Mignon and be ready to support at any time, and the rest continue to wait!"

Tsuru commanded.

There are three islands in front of you, from left to right: Rubeck, Haiyan and Mignon Island.

And the pirates who picked up the fruits of the surgery and planned to sell them to the World Government are on the island of Mignon.

The location of the transaction between the pirates and the world government is the island of Mignon in the middle, and according to the intelligence, the Don Quixote Pirates will intercept the fruits of the operation, and at that time, the ambushed navy will be dispatched to destroy all the Don Quixote Pirates.

Although the crane scolded the Warring States for being unreliable, she still believed in her old comrades-in-arms very much.

Chasing the Don Quixote Pirates in the North Sea before, they were able to determine the opponent's route every time, which shows the accuracy of the intelligence.

But tonight is a big operation for the Navy, and Tsuru has to be cautious.

The gunfire on Mignon Island is not like the arrival of the Don Quixote Pirates, you must know that the captain of this group of pirates who traded the fruits of surgery was once an admiral, and their strength is not to be underestimated.

If there is a conflict, the battle will not be so peaceful.

The crane could not give up the real place of the transaction in more accurate information because of the slightest movement, and if Don Quixote did arrive, the operation would have failed.

"Brubru Brubru~"

Suddenly, the voice of the phone bug rang again, and the adjutant picked up the phone.

"Moses Moses!"

After a phone call, the adjutant came behind the crane.

"Vice Admiral Ahe, the ship monitoring Rubeck Island brought news and found an ordinary ship, which did not fly the pirate flag or merchant flag, and could not determine the identity of the people on board, and it was suspected that it was a lost ship!"

"Lost ships?"

The crane frowned, the reason why the three islands in front of him were chosen as trading ambush locations was because they were small islands in the wild, located in a remote location on the edge of the North Sea, and there were no ships at all in normal times.

The crane does not believe in the statement that it is a lost ship at all, when it does not get lost, but when it gets lost in naval combat!

But it is certain that the other party is not the target of his own operation, Doflamingo.

Doflamingo's character would not have done such a sneaky ship change at all.

Then it's the same person who is greedy for the fruits of the operation and this transaction!

Crane approximate determination of ship information.

"Don't worry about it, let it come over, dog eat dog, the more chaotic the better!"

Tsuru made a plan to make the other party fight.

Direction of Rubeck Island.

Nair leapt from the high mast and came to Estes.

"Report to the general, no members of the Don Quixote family were found, but a large number of navies were ambushed on the outskirts of Haiyan Island, and a battle just took place on Mignon Island."

The emperor on Nair's head has the function of farsightedness and perspective.

Even in the imperial capital, you can see what is happening on every street, not to mention the three small islands that are much smaller.

"Navy?"

Estes didn't expect a third party.

Deals, ambushes...

Estes immediately thought of the navy's fishing plan, so in the North Sea, the fish worth catching can only be the Don Quixote Pirates with the highest bounty.

And now, the people of the Don Quixote Pirates have not yet appeared, and the ambush of the navy is still going on.

"Always keep an eye on the distance, and as soon as a new ship appears, report it immediately, slow down the ship, give up landing on Rubeck Island, and detour from the back of Haiyan Island to Mignon Island!"

Estes gave the order.

"Yes!"

With light snow in the sky and a dark full moon hanging in the sky, Estes' goal was simple.

If you see Doflamingo, then do it, and if you don't see it, you don't do it.

The battle on Mignon Island right now will inevitably attract the attention of most people, and imagine that Doflamingo is no different.

At the moment, she felt that the Navy's approach was a bit silly.

A deal worth five billion Baileys, if it goes according to plan, is the biggest problem.

It would be unwise to set your sights on an island.

Doflamingo has been at large in the North Sea for so many years, and without any means of saving his life, can he still be called a Yaksha?

Therefore, the deal at Haiyan Island is more like a front to attract the attention of the navy.

However, Estes didn't know this, only that Doflamingo was heading towards Rubek Island.

Now that there is no one of them on the island of Roubeck, then go to the crowded island of Mignon and find the source of the matter.

Devil Fruits worth five billion.

"General, the Devil Fruit has been eaten!"

Nair reports on the island in real time.

"Who ate it?"

"A child, a man with a flower face snatched it from the hands of the pirates, and then forcibly stuffed the fruit into the child's mouth."

Estes nodded, but did not speak.

Eat it, eat it, although the transaction is fake, but the Devil Fruit is real, that means Doflamingo will definitely come.

As the ship approached the vicinity of Haiyan Island, Nair reported again.

"There's a ship on the back of Mignon Island, depending on the situation, it's the ship of the Don Quixote Pirates! The navy also began to act, abandoned the ambush and surrounded the island of Mignon. ”

"Full speed ahead!"

A smile appeared on Estes' face, the personnel are here, then the curtain should be opened!

Ghost Town!

Mignon Island Pirate Stronghold.

Blood stained the snow red, and the corpses of fallen pirates were all over the ground.

In front of the island of Mignon, a group of vanguard naval fleets have landed, led by a lone man named Virgo.

On the back side of Mignon Island, Don Quixote's ship has crashed into the shore, and Doflamingo is in a pink coat beside him, stepping on the wind and snow, and taking the Don Quixote family members behind him towards the ghost town.

On the side of Mignon Island, Estes took a domineering step, followed by Wilmayne and others, and also headed towards the center of the island.

The snow, getting heavier, and the clouds gradually obscured the silver glow.

But the bright snow still lit up the night.

Estes liked the environment, which reminded her of the days when she was fighting on the northern frontier.

Snow....

And the endless dream demons of death.
