Chapter 36 Intelligence and Pre-Landing Preparations
Bucky was the first to turn in the task, and it was filled with a stack of papers, densely packed, and placed on David Jones's desk.
It was hard for David Jones not to guess that Bucky had probably known all along and that the intelligence had not been investigated.
However, David Jones doesn't care how Bucky gets the knowledge of "domineering", he just needs the result.
After looking through the stack of materials written by Bucky, David Jones sighed secretly.
I didn't expect that there are so many ways to "domineering", and if you don't have a few years, these can't be mastered.
But without domineering, he will fall into a passive situation on the great voyage.
Thankfully, he was able to harvest the fear and speed up the process.
Before Yarrita could turn in her mission, when the Terror Ghost was anchored in the thick sea fog, she took a small boat made by Bucky and went to a nearby land town to investigate information and buy supplies.
David Jones was not afraid of her running, anyway, he had given her a chance before, she decided to stay, if he ran away this time, he would fulfill his promise and hunt her down to the ends of the earth.
He has done this kind of thing too many times in the original world, and he is familiar with it.
Tuk-tuk.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door.
David Jones woke up from the information Bucky had handed in, looked up, and saw Chloe standing in the open doorway, so he nodded and let him in.
Chloe had come to hand over the Pirate banner he had designed, and this was the third edition.
"Captain, you've seen it."
David Jones took it and looked at it, this time drawing a white skull on a black background as the base, and then a crab claw on the left, a tentacle on the right, and a pistol in the middle.
It's all David Jones traits, and it's easy to see at a glance.
"Well......" David Jones looked at for a moment, his tentacles wriggling, "this version is not bad either." However, after looking at the three editions, it seems that the first version is still the best. ”
The first version had only a black background, no white skulls, and instead was a huge deep-sea beast-like head, its thick tentacles almost covering the bottom half of the flag, and a pair of gray-blue eyes that were extremely eerie.
Fortunately, Chloe saved the first edition and took it out for David Jones to read again.
"That's it." David Jones finally finalized the pattern, "Chloe, you and Bucky work together to get the flag out there." ”
"Yes, Captain."
Chloe calmly exited the room, and David Jones continued to look at the stack of materials that Bucky had put together.
After a while, he felt a small boat approaching the Terror Ghost, and a man climbed aboard.
Since neither Bucky nor Chloe gave a warning, it should be that Arrita has returned.
Sure enough, soon, there was a small sound of footsteps outside the room.
After a while, the slender figure appeared in the doorway.
"Captain, I'm back." Arrita bowed.
David Jones waved his hand, "Come in." ”
Arlita walked in, first setting the mace aside, then pulling out a notebook filled with information she had compiled and a sketch of the village of Cocoasi.
It's just that both the text and the sketches are a little ugly.
It was only after Yarrita's explanation that David Jones understood what she had written and what she had drawn.
For this reason, Yarrita was slightly embarrassed and decided to practice calligraphy in the future.
David Jones looked at the topographical map of Cocoa West Village.
It is located on the coast, with Housha Town on the right and Aaron Park on the left, and Aaron Park, which is the base camp of the Aaron Pirates.
The surrounding more than 20 villages and towns are basically under the control of the Aaron Pirates.
He became the de facto owner of the piece on the grounds that he was collecting protection money, and if anyone was unwilling to pay the fee, he was often punished quite cruelly.
The villagers did not resist, but the rebels were directly slaughtered by the Aaron Pirates, and the villages and towns were burned to the ground.
The difference in strength between ordinary humans and fish-people is too great, and the battle is always a one-sided slaughter.
In charge of this sea area is the Colonel Rats of the Navy Branch.
He is suspected of colluding with the Aaron Pirates, otherwise how could he ignore the situation in these more than 20 villages and towns?
These things must not be hidden, and the influence of more than 20 villages and towns is too wide.
As long as the people who live nearby, they know more or less, but no one dares to report it.
They all know what will happen to those who whistleblow.
If it's just the whistleblower himself, then forget it, and more importantly, it will implicate an entire village and town.
If the report can be successful, and the navy can send soldiers to encircle and suppress it, maybe there will be no big problem.
It's just that, on the one hand, the Aaron Pirates are all fishmen, their combat power is too strong, there are fewer people, and it's useless to come.
On the other hand, the whistleblower letter has been stuck in the naval branch.
Truth be told, David Jones wasn't very interested in what was happening in Cocoa West Village and nearby towns.
There is also a difference between his approach and Aaron's.
David Jones attaches more importance to contracts or deals, and as long as they can be concluded, he will not easily kill them, let alone affect the innocent.
Ah Long basically treats the villagers as chickens, ducks and geese that can lay eggs, and when one day does not lay eggs, the chickens, ducks and geese in the entire cage are slaughtered together.
In other words, David Jones is more focused on profit, while Aaron is more focused on the thrill of killing and absolute authority.
David Jones flipped to the next page.
After that, there is the personnel situation of the Aaron Pirates, the leader is of course Aaron, and the cadres and ordinary crew members are all fishmen.
It's a pity that there are no photos, and there is nothing Yarrita can do about it.
In fact, the Aaron Pirates should have another human crew member, and that is Nami who appeared before.
However, this matter is relatively secret, and basically only the people of the Aaron Pirates and Coco Yaxi Village know about it, and Yarrita didn't hear about it.
The rest of the crew information, nothing special, until David Jones turned to the last page.
There is a charcoal drawing of a sea beast, which is scribbled, but you can see the horns and the head of a cow.
"What is this?" David Jones already had a guess in his mind, but asked anyway.
Arrita leaned over to take a look and replied, "Captain, this is the 'Sea Beast'. It is said that this is a beast from the Great Voyage bred by the Aaron Pirates, and its name is 'Manatee Moo'. ”
"Sea beasts?" David Jones asked suspiciously, "What's the difference between it and the 'Aquamans'?" ”
"Sea kings are larger, more intelligent, and have a longer lifespan, and generally live in windless zones and deep seas, and are difficult to tame, while sea beasts are easier to tame," Arrita explains. ”
When David Jones heard this, he was a little disappointed, he thought he was about to see the first Aquaman.
However, he thought about it, the sea beasts all have such a size, so how huge should the sea kings be?
Is an island the size?
Isn't that even bigger than his North Sea Troll?
If you can grab it, tame it and become the second North Sea Monster......
Although it's not a sea king, it's a pity, but the sea beast is barely acceptable.
David Jones nodded silently, and then asked, "How far are we from Cocoa West Village?" ”
"Start counting now, it will take about half a day to arrive." Arrita replied truthfully.
That's based on the speed of the Terror Ghost, which is now almost as fast as a Navy warship.
The Terror Ghost would have only needed to sail for more than a week to reach the Upside Down Mountains of the Red Earth.
But in order to see the aborigines of Fish-Man Island, Davy Jones deliberately took a detour and delayed the time.
"Did you buy any supplies?"
Arlita smiled and replied, "It's all bought back, it's all in the boat, and Bucky and Chloe are carrying it." ”
"Tell them to hurry up, the boat will leave in a quarter of an hour, we've stayed here long enough."
"Yes, Captain, I'll go."
Moments later, the Terror Ghost set off again.
After sailing for less than half a day, everyone could see a coastline from the bow of the boat.
"If the direction is correct, this should be Housha Town." Yarrita pointed to a small dot on the chart, "A little ahead, there is the village of Cocoasi, and then there is Aaron Paradise." ”
The Terror Ghost whipped up a hazy sea fog and sailed to Housha Town, where it soon docked at the humble harbor of Cocoa West Village.
As is customary, Bucky guarded the boat, and David Jones led Yarrita and Chloe off the boat and walked on the country road in the village of Cocoa.
However, not long after they left, the Terror Ghost was targeted by the fishmen who had patrolled in.
