Looking up at the ever-changing sky, the radiant clouds are still the same. Gera spat out a smoke ring and complained, "It's so boring, why is it my turn to be on duty today." ”

"Don't complain, I'm not the same. Not to mention Dicchi, Madeira and they are not the same, and you are not the only one who is sentry. Karui said, leaning against a tree and wiping an old double-barreled powder rifle under the tree.

They were all trainees on a pirate ship, and today was a big day for the pirates at Sea House. After all, the Poseidon Order is not every year, and the pirates don't want to participate. But these crew members were assigned other tasks, after all, they couldn't let everyone go to the Poseidon Gladiatorial Arena, first, the audience seats were limited, and secondly, someone needed to sentry or something.

Newcomers like Jarrah and Karui were even more unlucky, as they were assigned to the sentinels on both sides of the Whisperer Channel in shifts. As an important gateway to Roaring Bay and Sea House, Sea House has been setting up covert sentinels on both sides of the Whisperer Strait to monitor the vicinity

The sentinel site changes at regular intervals to ensure that it is not figured out by anyone in the Papal Chamber.

The crew on duty was a ship of pirates who remained on the sea, but in more unusual cases like today's, it was left to the trainee crews.

"This arrangement is simply redundant. Gera grabbed her hair and said, "The Pope's Hall is not stupid, we hold the Poseidon so that they will not be unaware." Knowing that there are now many captains on our Sea House, and there are even legendary captains like Cinderella and Manshan, how can they not attack with long eyes?"

"Ahh I don't want to be on duty here. Holding his head and rolling on the grass, the midshipman was troubled by a small annoyance.

Karui sighed, trying to kick the annoying creature down the channel to feed the fish. But it's even more boring to think that no one will accompany you on duty after kicking him down, so I retracted this thought.

"Hey, it's time to see how the sea is going, don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead. He kicked his companion in anger, Karui said.

Gera rubbed her ass and stood up, looked at the musket in Karui's hand and said, "One day I'm going to dismantle your damn musket and tell you to play with it like a woman all day long, and don't help Lao Tzu do the fire." ”

Karui laughed, "You know what, Jara. Someday, I'll be the captain of a ship with this gun. ”

"You're going to dream!" Jera, picking up a telescope from the side and looking out into the strait as usual. On the other hand, he said: "I really don't understand, what is there to see." Except for a few broken islands, not even a seagull huh."

In the telescope, a black dot faintly appeared on the horizon. And the black dot is not constant, but gradually expanding. Jera immediately adjusted the magnification of the telescope, and the image immediately expanded. Suddenly, a pattern crashed into Gera's eye.

It was a silver cross entangled in a golden rose at the bottom, and a long sword encrusted with gems protruding diagonally from the cross. The pattern is gorgeous, but more importantly, it's the emblem of the Knights of the Holy Seal!

Jera hurriedly adjusted the multiplier, and then he saw a medium-sized brig. And after the second-class warship of the Pope's Hall, more ships gradually appeared on the horizon, and this turned out to be a fleet!

Karui suddenly glanced strangely at his companion, and Geral was trembling as if she had seen something terrible. Karui couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what's wrong with you!"

The voice of her companion brought Jara back to her senses, and the crew member stammered, pointing to the other side of the channel, "There has been"

"What appeared?"

"Ship" Jera shook her head abruptly and shouted, "No, it's a warship." The phalanx of warships of the Knights of the Holy Seal! Damn, a whole fleet is coming towards us!"

"What?" Karui immediately snatched the binoculars from the trainee crew members, and after looking at them for a while, he put the binoculars down and yelled at Geira, "Quick, flare! It must be the red one with the highest specification of the danger alarm!"

Gera nodded, and quickly ran to a nearby hidden hut, then pulled out a flare gun. Covering his ears with one hand, he fired a gun into the sky with the other. Suddenly, a red smoke dragged a little flash into the sky, leaving a deep red trail above the strait.

It wasn't long before a red smoke shot out of the strait ahead, and then red smoke rose in the strait, even from several isolated islands in the roaring bay. The alarm was transmitted back to the sea house, and when the sentry on duty at the dock saw it, he hurriedly rang the alarm bell of the pier, so the emergency bell echoed on the island.

In the Colosseum of Poseidon, pirates poured out of it one after another, each taking their own transport to the dock and preparing for the defense according to the instructions of their captain. And some important people such as Zero and Cinderella came to the Sea Emperor Bar, and outside the bar, X picked a random table. He pushed the object to the ground with one hand and yelled at the waiter, "Bring me the chart!"

The nautical chart was drawn by Mr. X on weekdays, and now it just comes in handy. Zero had temporarily gained the trust of the pirates, and the arrival of the Papal Hall warships allowed him to establish his majesty. It's just a faint pain from the wound cut out of Hook's guillotine, and the memory group has been given emergency treatment before. Normally, it would have been restored in two or three hours.

But later, he used the ninth-order liliang and pressed the two captains in one fell swoop, and he was immediately injured and injured. The wound that had healed was torn again, and the injury was deepened by the exertion. By zero's estimate, it would now take him twice as long to heal.

Cinderella was beside him, and when she saw this, she said with concern, "Are you okay?"

Zero smiled and patted her hand and said, "It's okay, let's see how to deal with the Pope's Hall." ”

On the other side, the waiter had already laid out Mr. X's nautical charts on the table. The nautical chart clearly shows all the islands and currents near Roaring Bay and even the Whisperer's Strait, making it an invaluable strategic map for Zero. Several important captains also surrounded him, but Hook's face was a little gloomy after seeing Cinderella and Zero's intimacy just now. The barbarian mountain next to him saw it in his eyes, and he could only pat him on the shoulder and pity him, but he was powerless to change anything.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?" asked Zero, looking at the charts.

The captains, including Cinderella, all had their eyes on Mr. X. Mr. X is both the owner of the Sea Emperor Bar and the main person in charge of the defense of the Sea House, so naturally he knows the situation best now. And after firing the flare gun to warn, there are already sentinels who send the specific news back to the island through Mr. X's green-backed gull as soon as possible.

X clapped his hand on the Whisperer Channel and said, "According to what we know, the Papal Chamber has sent a medium fleet to move closer to the Whisperer Channel. The purpose was self-evident, and as Captain Zero had said, Sauron had acted. And this time he invested his blood, and the war is about to break out!"

"But a medium fleet alone can't defeat us, doesn't Sauron know that?" asked one of the captains.

Mr. X's eyes were cold, and he said, "So our sentinels can't see the regimental commander-level building ship, they should attack from another place." ”

"The bay road of the Whisperer Strait can't go through the building. Hook said softly.

Zero nodded, and asked again, "I heard that among the four major pirate groups, the Iron Scale is the largest. So which channel does it take to reach the Sea House on weekdays?"

Cinderella and the others were shocked, and Mr. X nodded, "I thought about this too." His palm landed on another stretch of water, where islands were scarce, but the signs of the currents were extremely complex: "The Iron Scale usually goes around the Whisperer Strait and takes the Devil's Route. Since Deborah has been determined to be Zoro's lackey, other captain-level ships can naturally come from here. ”

"The Devil's Route is so large that small and medium-sized ships cannot cross it at all. Only large ships such as the Iron Scale or the Papal Hall could sail safely like tanks at sea, but if they had taken the Devil's Route, they would have arrived two or three days later than the medium-sized fleet. Cinderella said, "Now it seems that the Iron Scale is about the same tonnage as the Order's large ships. Surely Sauron has been searching for a route through which even the large ships can pass safely, so that the most powerful force can be used against us if necessary!"

"What a treacherous man!" Manshan clapped his hands, "Now that the situation is obvious, let's deal with the medium fleet coming in from the Whisperer Strait first." As long as we destroy the large buildings before they arrive, we will have time to face the opposing Commanders and Knights of the Round Table!"

As he spoke, the other captains chimed in. Only Cinderella and Hook bowed their heads and were silent, and Zero shook their heads at the moment: "No, say something unpleasant." Borrowing all of you on the island, you can probably only fight with the opponent's building ships with all your might. And now the point is that we don't know how many corps commanders have come. Therefore, if you rush to defend the Whisperer's Strait, as long as the other party comes to the two ships, I think you will not have the extra strength to fight by then, right?"

Manshan spread his hands and said: "Then what should I do, I can't ignore the medium fleet, right?"

"Of course not. I just wanted to say that the Whisperer Strait that" Zero said lightly, "I'll leave it to my people to be responsible." All of you on the island and I should be prepared to fight against the Legion Commander of the Papal Hall and their ships. ”

Hearing Zero say this, even X felt that he was a little too much. Unless Zero has a regimental formation, how can he fight a medium fleet? Sensing the gaze of the crowd, Cinderella replied on his behalf: "I have been on his ship, so you can rest assured." There are at least two ninth-order, four eighth-order, and a number of sixth- and seventh-order soldiers, plus about 50 soldiers, it is enough to intercept the fleet of the Pope's Hall in the restricted terrain of the Whisperers Strait. ”

"Two Ninth Orders"

"The fourth place of the eighth order and some of the sixth and seventh orders"

Hearing the news, whether it was Manshan or the other captains, even X was shocked. How could they have thought that Captain Zero actually hid a group of capable people, and there were so many high-level! Hearing this, X was surprised for a while, and the corners of his mouth gradually pulled into a smile: "If there are so many high-level, we can win! In this war, we will not lose to the Pope's Hall!"

Infected by Mr. X, the other captains also got up, and then discussed how to make the building ship killed in the Pope's Hall look good. On the other side, Cinderella whispered, "When will you arrange these, I won't know." ”

"Before the Water Demon came to pick us up, you were busy keeping in touch with your crew. ”

"I see, I said wait, you should have known that the Papal Hall was going to call at that time, right?"

Zero lowered his head and whispered, "Think about it." If you're Zoro and you're worried about not having a chance to wipe out all the pirates, what would you think when you suddenly heard what kind of Poseidon Decree they were holding?"

Cinderella suddenly realized, and pinched the back of Zero's hand hatefully and said, "It turns out that you issued the Seagod Order, and there is still this kind of plan in it!"

"So I said, Zoro is trying to change the shili pattern of the Western Continent, this is the tide of the times, this is a trend. And I use his current to guide me in the other direction I want, which is also a kind of potential. Look, I'll steer the situation to our side. It won't be long before Zoro discovers that although Ista and the pirates are no longer there, the situation in the Western Continent will still not be in his favor!" Zero confidently said.

At the same time, the middle section of the Whisperer's Strait. Kaede jumped onto a large rock on the shore and shouted, "Boys, give me a hard job!" Those stupid pirates have discovered that the warships of the Papal Hall are coming, and since the head has ordered us to meet them here, then we must do a good job. Let these guys in the Western Continent see what professionalism is!"

"Yes, Kaede-sama!"

Soldiers on both sides of the shore shouted.

Just a few days ago, when Zero landed at the Shanghai House, the Destiny docked on an isolated island off the Whisperer's Strait. Yeliu and ten soldiers were left to guard the ship, and non-combatant personnel like Billy and Dr. Kiya also remained outside the captain. The rest, such as Franklin, Kaede, Su, and a large number of capable people, plus the rest of the soldiers, all poured out.

They crossed a short stretch of calm water in rubber charms to reach the Whisperer's Strait, followed by a secret march into the middle of the channel. In a few days, they had already laid interception fortifications here, waiting for the fleet of the Papal Hall to ram itself into the muzzle.

Listening to Feng's fingers, Hai Wei grimaced beside her and said, "When the head leaves, you can make it very clear, let's listen to the deputy captain instead of you." ”

"What does a girl with no breasts and no ass know, is this called cheering?"

Haiwei suddenly said angrily: "Who has no breasts and no ass!"

Kaede's gaze twitched back and forth over her, and she said, "Is there any?" ”

Hai Wei couldn't wait to tear the hateful man in front of her to pieces: "That's because people haven't developed well yet!"

"Then come and talk to me when you're well. ”

Seeing the two of them facing each other, Su, who was sitting next to him, shook his head and sighed, "Two naïve guys. ”

She concentrated on wiping her heavy sword when she felt the ground shake slightly.

There was a circle of ripples on the surface of the water cup next to it, and then a circle of ripples went straight to the ground, and water splashed out of the zuihou cup. The tremors were felt by those nearby, and the tremors were coming from behind them. Everyone stopped what they were doing, only to feel an astonishing oppressive force coming from the bend of the strait. Then a mountain-high figure turned in from the bend, and above the figure's head, it was really carrying a boulder like a small mountain.

Franklin chewed on his cigar, his muscles bulging. The surface of the body emitted an astonishing temperature, and even scorching smoke rose from it. The giant's head leaned forward, and he held a large rock against his neck and thick back. The surface of the stone is irregular, and it seems that it was dug up for him. Franklin walked over with his hands in the rocks and was lifting a boulder weighing more than a dozen tons.

He walked along the shore, leaving a deep footprint on the shore with every foot. When he got around, he yelled, "Get out of the way!"

So the people on both sides hurriedly flashed to the side, and Franklin snorted and threw the stone hard. With the howling of the wind, the stone landed obliquely in the middle of the river like a meteorite. Although the channel of the strait was not completely blocked, it was not expected that there would be ships to sail through it.

Kaede smiled and said to Franklin, "Good job, big man!"

Franklin grinned and said, "I can't wait to make a big deal." ”

Judging by the speed of the Papal Hall fleet, they will be able to enter the Whisperer Channel tomorrow morning, and the people of the Destiny have stepped up their preparations. While the drums were beating to surprise the Papal Chamber, far north of the Whisperer's Strait, four large ships slowly sailed into the area known as the Devil's Passage.

It is called the Devil's Passage because of the small number of islands and the lack of natural windbreaks. The wind is howling all year round, and it is difficult for ordinary sailboats to sail through. In addition, the seabed environment here is very complex, resulting in many and complex undercurrents in the sea. There are more than a dozen small whirlpools in the sea alone, which are not at all suitable for small-tonnage ships.

Only ships like the Iron Scale or the Papal Chamber's Command, which are hybridized and can be called tanks at sea, can survive the threat of strong winds and turbulence.

Now, at the entrance to the Devil's Passage, four large ships have just sailed in. At the front of them was the Iron Scale, and at the back were the three building ships. Judging from the flags on the building ships, these three building ships are the cars of the three commanders of the 3rd Regiment, the 7th Regiment and the 8th Regiment.

At this moment, on the deck of the building of the seat frame of the commander of the three regiments, a tall and thin figure walked to the bow of the ship. He was about forty years old, but his hair was already pale. Only the beard around the chin is black. Dressed in a silver-white silk lining, covered with pitch-black combat soft armor, a scarlet cloak hung down to his feet, flying in the wind.

The leader of the Third Regiment of the Holy Seal, the spear god Caromon, frowned and looked at the Iron Scale in front of him, and sighed in a low voice: "The Knights of the Dignified Seal are actually reduced to cooperating with pirates, and the principles of the Papal Hall are no longer in vain?"
