Dusty cautiously glanced at his immediate superior, Smoker, and saw that he had just thrown off the information and had no intention of speaking, so he lifted his glasses and continued to introduce.

"This is 'Joker' Bucky, with a bounty of 25 million Bailey. He and his group of pirates originally occupied Orange Town, but were later absorbed by David Jones, and his group was disbanded. He eats the 'Split Fruit' and is able to split his body at will. ”

Bucky actually has more information, but the level of secrecy is quite high, and Dusty can't find out, if it is Lieutenant General Karp, he can directly tell Bucky's past secrets.

"In the end, it is the most important thing in this extermination war." Dusty pasted a picture of David Jones on the whiteboard and placed it on top of several other pictures to represent his position as a leader.

"'Hades of the Deep' David Jones, with a bounty of 50 million Bailey. Suspected of being a fish-man, no clear signs of Devil Fruit ability have been found, but since they can subdue Bucky, Chloe, and Yarrita, their combat power should not be low. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the above is the information of David Jones and his gang, and no new members have been found yet, thank you."

Dusty bowed to the crowd, then consciously walked to the corner and stood.

Everyone looked at the bounty order and materials, and for a while, no one spoke in the entire meeting hall, only the sound of turning pages.

After a long time, Smoker asked, "Is Colonel Lipa from the 153rd branch here?" ”

Lipa hurriedly got up from his chair.

"You don't have to stand up." Smoker's words froze Lipa's movements, "You just sit." Your branch was the first Navy unit to encounter David Jones' gang, and you can tell us more about the situation. ”

"Yes, Chief Smoker!"

For the next ten minutes, Lipa described in very brief words the whole process of the former branch colonel Monka leading the soldiers to meet David Jones's black ship.

"In other words, how did Monka die, you didn't actually witness it with your own eyes, did you?" Smoker calmly nodded to the point, "Also, the weather was stormy, did it rain when your warship left the port?" ”

"Uh...... No. Lipa shook his head, and under Smoker's gaze, he only felt his throat itchy and his lips chapped, and involuntarily picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Smoker's eyes narrowed: "That said, this storm is not normal. None of the shells fired by your warships hit the black ship, right? ”

"Yes...... Yes. A cold sweat ran down Lipa's forehead.

"When your warship approached the Black Ship, its hull saw cannons without warning, right?"

"Yes."

"After your warship was sunk, most of the hull fragments disappeared without a trace, and according to your original words, it was 'eaten' by the black ship, right?"

"Yes." Lipa could only answer so stubbornly so far, and then lowered his head, deeply ashamed.

The people at the long table listened to Smoker's question, silently made eye contact, and then sat up straight again.

"Colonel Phil." Smoker called out another branch colonel, which made Lipa finally breathe a sigh of relief, but Phil, who was named, immediately tensed up.

"Captain Smoker!"

"That infamous 'black market on the sea' was in your jurisdiction when it was smashed, right?"

"Yes."

"What did the rich men say afterwards?"

Phil said it in 1510, but did not mention who provided the information.

Smoker didn't ask either, because he knew that if he did, he would ask in vain:

"Now, we know that David Jones and his gang can call out the storm, the Black Ship is nimble and has hidden cannons, it can devour ships and cut through them, and there are at least two Devil Fruit abilities on board, and almost every crew member was a famous sea thief in the East China Sea before."

His piercing eyes swept over everyone: "Does anyone else know more?" ”

Everyone bowed their heads under the pressure of his gaze, except for Tina, who was looking up, pursed her lips and thinking about something.

At this time, Colonel Mouse suddenly raised his body slightly, so that Smoker could see him: "Commander Smoker, I have something to report to you, ......"

"If you have something to say, say it quickly!" Smoker, who had always disliked this oily and slick mouse colonel, interrupted directly.

"Yes, yes." Colonel Rat licked his lips, "Not long ago, Captain Hepodi's men arrived in my precinct to inform me of the unfortunate death of Captain Hepodi. ”

"What?!"

There was an uproar in the council hall, as if oil had been poured into a hot pot and water was immediately added, and everyone was talking and looking surprised.

Smoker hammered the table with his fist, quieting everyone down, and he frowned: "Colonel Mouse, you make it clear, what happened?" ”

"That's right, Captain Hepodi took two warships to hunt down the remnants of the Creek Pirates, and everything went well, but he encountered David Jones' black ship halfway......"

Davy jones?

Is it him again?

After all, Colonel Rat was not at the scene, and he received a report from the precinct through the phone bug, and he did not know the whole process of Hebodi's death, so he could only give a brief explanation.

Everyone either shook their heads and sighed, or they were quite indignant, after all, another of their own people died unexpectedly, and they all died at the hands of the same pirates.

In addition, this also casts a shadow on this extermination war, after all, judging from the frontal naval battles between the two black ships and the navy, it seems impossible to win with the firepower and speed of the warships alone.

They looked at each other, and their confidence was inevitably shaken compared to when they first arrived in Rogue Town.

Smoker stood up, finally took the cigar out of his bosom, and lit it as if no one was around.

"I know that there have been some 'rumors' and 'stories' circulating within the Navy recently."

Tina didn't stop him this time, because even she wanted to light a cigarette now.

"What 'the invincible Hades of the Deep awakens from the seal', what 'The Cabinet of the Horror of David Jones', what 'The Black Ship That Brings Doom', What 'The Source of the Bad Pirate Game of Hive Island'...... Fueled by the World Economic News, people in the Navy are also panicking. ”

Smoker grabbed the cigar between his fingers, turned his back to the crowd, and spat a smoke ring towards the picture of David Jones on the whiteboard.

"I hope that I will never hear this kind of nonsense again in the future, because 'rumors' and 'stories' will only amplify the panic in the hearts of soldiers. Don't you forget, what do the two big words 'justice' stand for behind the uniforms we wear? We have absolutely no excuse to back down. ”

Smoker's stern tone silenced the entire chamber, and even the sound of someone swallowing could be heard.

"Not to mention, this eradication battle will be led by Lieutenant General Karp, supplemented by me and Colonel Tina, plus the heads of all branches in the East China Sea. If David Jones and his gang had made it through Upside Down Mountain and into the Great Voyage, we would all have become a joke. ”

Everyone was shocked in their hearts, and they all realized the seriousness of the matter.

If this war of extermination failed to arrest or kill David Jones, then what kind of storm the wind of public opinion would have been, they felt goosebumps just by imagining it.

"Ahem." Tina, who had long pink hair, also stood up, "What Colonel Smoker means is that although the task of this extermination war is arduous, the naval side still has a huge advantage. ”

"That's right." Smoker turned around, "Dozens of warships against a black ship, thousands of people against four pirates, the advantage is ours!" I, the 'smoker' Smoker, even if I want to gamble on the reputation of the colonels of the Navy headquarters, will intercept them before entering the great voyage! ”

The crowd also stood up.

"I'm willing to gamble on the honor of being in the Navy!"

"Never live up to the name of 'justice'!"

"Be sure to cut off the head of David Jones and avenge the death of his compatriots!"

Sincerely, or not, everyone in the council hall cheered up and vowed to win the war of extermination.

After the meeting, Smoker stood alone by the window, looking out at the skyline, and even his friend Tina and his subordinate Dusty were chased away.

"Now we are left with the last and most important piece of the puzzle." Smoker tapped his fingers on the window glass, "Waiting for Lieutenant General Karp to be in place, it is equivalent to spreading a net of heaven and earth, waiting for David Jones to automatically send them to the door." ”
