The sudden storm gradually blew away the poisonous gas that permeated the navy warship.

Click lifted his gas mask and looked up in surprise, letting the bean-sized raindrops drip down his short hair and down his cheekbones.

How can this storm come from now?

When he and his fleet sailed on the great voyage, he was often confronted with such bad weather, and it was completely unreasonable to hail at one time, and then snowflakes at another, and then the sky was clear.

However, he has been galloping in the East China Sea for so many years, but he has never encountered such weather.

Just now, it was like a hand artificially unzipping the sky and letting go of the downpour.

No, no, no, how can this happen, how can there be anyone in the world who can control the weather?

Unless...... Unless that person is a Devil Fruit ability.

Crick looked around nervously, and instead of seeing the bodies of the three Davy Jones, he gritted his teeth and cursed when he saw Arkin fall into the cabin and die from poison gas.

"They must have jumped into the sea! Damn, as long as I waited a little longer, when they inhaled the poisonous gas, it was the time for me to win a big victory, and they managed to escape! ”

With the poison gas and the gas mask, Click's vision was not clear, so he couldn't see how David Jones had left.

However, he didn't even see how they got on board.

Crick saw that the black ship was still hovering nearby, ready to open fire again.

And the warship under his feet was no longer able to be opened, and the other warship fled.

Feeling that he could not stay on the warship as a live target, he went to the side of the ship and prepared to jump into the sea.

The next moment, however, the strange man appeared in front of Klick out of nowhere.

Crick was stunned, and this time he confirmed that David Jones had teleported!

"Where do you want to go?"

David Jones asked, walking towards Click.

Klick was already nervous, and at this moment, he didn't even have time to think, and subconsciously removed the circular shield on his right shoulder!

The two shields on the left and right merged, and with a click, a gun bounced out, the tip of which was pointed directly at David Jones.

"It's still deformable, it's an interesting appliance." The tentacles on David Jones's face swayed happily, and he even asked curiously, "Who made this kind of prop equipment for you?" Or is it your masterpiece? ”

Click didn't pay attention to Davy Jones's words at all, and didn't believe that there was still room for cooperation, he grabbed the big war gun with both hands one after the other, and pulled it up, the tip of the gun pointed directly at David Jones's chest!

It doesn't matter what kind of "deep sea Hades" you are, or something else, give me death!

Only I, "Admiral" Klick, can live!

I'm going to live at all costs!

However, in the flash of lightning, David Jones's tentacles had already pulled out the pistol on his waist, and with a bang, the bullet hit Click, who was stabbing at the gun.

The corners of Click's mouth curled into an arrogant smile, and he was about to laugh at David Jones, whose bullets couldn't penetrate his sturdy armor, but suddenly realized that his body was frozen and couldn't move!

He maintained the posture of advancing with his spear forward, and froze in place!

After a moment of astonishment, he noticed that David Jones had disappeared again.

Panic hit my mind...... Where did he go?

In the next moment, a sharp crab claw poked out of Klick's abdomen!

David Jones teleported behind Crick, and this time he didn't spare his hands as he had done with Chloe, and the gun was combined with a charged blow, which not only cut through the armor, but also pierced Click's body.

Snort –

The blood flowed like an infusion.

Crick glanced down and watched as the crab claws retracted little by little, and finally pulled out of his body.

He was still dazed, just kneeling weakly, and then leaned on the ground.

The big war guns were also thrown aside.

Do you mean, I'm going to die?

I, "Admiral" Click, am going to die in such a place?

"I thought about it for a moment and changed my mind."

In his confusion, Klick heard David Jones' voice, as if it were coming from far away.

"Just take your armor off and give it to Bucky to study, I guess he's better than the person who made it, right?"

Crick tried to open his mouth, begging David Jones to save him, and he was willing to give everything.

But David Jones really ignored Click anymore, slowly removed the armor from his body, bit by bit, and took his big battle gun.

Click's eyes widened in fear and remorse, and he screamed a few times, and finally lost his life.

When David Jones picked up Click's armor and war gun and teleported back to the Horror Ghost, he was surprised to find another ship approaching.

How did you come across so many ships today?

Who is it this time?

David Jones looked out and got a rough idea of what the ship looked like.

The ship was flying a pirate flag with a white skull on a black background, a straw hat on top of the skull's head, and a sheep's head on the bow.

It looks quite out of place with those vicious pirate ships.

-----------------

"Finally caught up with this black ship."

The green-headed Zoro stood on the side of the ship with a serious expression, his right hand resting on the three-handled knife at his waist, ready to be pulled out at any moment.

Zoro has been tracking down the thug for a full month since David Jones' bounty was issued, and it has been difficult to explain in a sentence or two.

All in all, after he met Luffy, the two teamed up temporarily, solved the problem of food and lodging, and got the latest information from David Jones in Orange Town, and then went back and forth between different island towns.

This is because Zoro and Luffy, one is too confident in his sense of direction, and the other is too prone to causing trouble, and they spend most of their time avoiding the pursuit of different personnel.

Zoro wanted to get rid of Luffy and go it alone, but Luffy got wrapped up like kraft candy.

It's also fortunate that he didn't get rid of Luffy, otherwise with the exaggeration of how lost he was, he might not be able to catch up with David Jones in this life.

Soon after, the two of them finally met a nobleman.

That is Nami, the "little thief cat" who also appeared in Orange Town.

After stealing Bucky's charts, she plans to rush back to her hometown, the village of Cocoasi.

Although Nami put on makeup and pretended to be a teenager, she was still entangled by many hooligans with a keen sense of smell along the way, and her own hands and feet were not very clean, so she often took the sheep and ordered something, so she caused a lot of trouble.

In this way, she needs one or two thugs to escort her back to the village of Cocoasi.

Luffy and Zoro, on the other hand, happen to need Nami's knowledge as navigators - Nami has learned seamanship since she was a child, and the skill of stealing is gradually learned in practice.

The three of them hit it off, each took what he needed, and set off together.

Nami originally complained about Luffy's status as a pirate.

However, she didn't mind seeing Zoro, a well-known bounty hunter, and after contacting Luffy for a while, she realized that his brain circuit was different from that of ordinary pirates, so after muttering a few words, she stopped mentioning Luffy's identity as a pirate.

Although the problem of guarding and guiding the direction was solved, it was impossible for them to catch up with the black ship by constantly changing ships.

To do this, they also have to solve the problem of ship navigation.

However, they did not have enough money to buy or lease a ship.

Just when they were at their wit's end, they met Usopp in the village of Sirob.

At this time, Usopp was falling out with the villagers because of the mysterious disappearance of Krabatel's housekeeper.

What he said was obviously the truth, but no one believed it, even Keya and his three little followers were only half-convinced.

So, in a fit of rage, he decided to leave the village and start his journey as a sea warrior.

The decision was made, but Usopp was still weak, after all, he had never been too far from the village of Sirob and had no sailing experience.

After hearing Luffy, Zoro, and Nami's conversation, he immediately interjects excitedly, saying that he can solve the ship problem, but only if they take him to sea with him.

Luffy, Zoro, and Nami saw that someone took the initiative to help them solve the problem, so they naturally agreed.

So, Usopp used his connections to get a ship from Koya and Mr. Merry, and transformed it into the "Forward Merry" they were now riding.

The Advance Merry was named after the servant Merry.

With the ship problem solved, Zoro can finally pursue the black ship with all his might based on the latest information.

Although the other people had different purposes, they did not raise any objections because they had a high degree of overlap on the routes.

In this way, the Forward Merry appeared behind the side of the Terror Ghost.
