The sword of the pirate

Chapter 50 Encountering the Black Cat Pirate Ship

After staying at the restaurant for a week, Eren, Tetsuo, and Sanji left "Bharati" after saying goodbye.

Allen looked at the boat full of goods and drinks, with a smile on his face.

Although the boy Sanji kept nagging him to leave quickly, he was the most active when carrying things. This guy is really a knife-mouthed tofu heart.

In this way, Alan sailed on the sea for a month, and finally saw a town. After Alan arrived at the port, he parked the boat and walked to the shore.

A large ship was moored at the eastern end of the port. Four or five figures stood on the deck, as if silently watching what was going on here.

Standing at the front is a middle-aged man wearing brown sunglasses and a lavender striped suit. Although his face is ordinary, he has the arrogance of someone who has been in power for a long time. On the boat, he showed a thoughtful look from time to time.And behind him, there are several young people in blue uniforms, with their hands behind their backs and silent, looking like a middle-aged man as the leader.

After a while, a sound of footsteps came from the cabin behind him, getting closer and closer to the deck. The middle-aged man didn't turn his head, but just spoke lightly.

"What, are you ready?"

"Not yet, but if you don't count the final inspection procedures of the shipyard, it's almost the same..."

A somewhat lazy voice sounded, and soon a brown-haired young man in a formal suit appeared on the deck yawning, walked over leisurely, looked at the middle-aged man and said with a smile.

"Why... It seems that Mr. Colonel seems to be very concerned about this shipment?"

"Hmph, that's natural."

The middle-aged man glanced at him and said with a cold snort.

"If it was before, I wouldn't be so eager, but this time, it was the last batch of orders I placed before I left the 16th branch, and it was also related to the lifeboats in the branch base. How could I not care about it? of."

Although the two of them were not very polite when they spoke to each other, their tone of voice was casual. Obviously, their relationship was actually far more familiar than it seemed.

"Hey, leave? If you say that, are the previous rumors true?"

A look of surprise appeared on the face of the brown-haired youth.

"Why, is it true that, as they said, you will be transferred from Branch 16 soon?"

"Well, the above document has come down, it is basically confirmed, probably at the end of this month, this time he was transferred back to the headquarters and served as a major general in the headquarters."

The middle-aged man took off his brown sunglasses, lit a cigarette, took a sip, and said calmly.

"Major general of the headquarters?"

The brown-haired young man was startled, then laughed loudly.

"I said, it turned out to be a promotion, so I'm here to congratulate Maynard in advance... Oh no, Major General Maynard."

"There is nothing to congratulate."

The middle-aged man exhaled smoke rings, a little sullenly.

"I originally came from the elite camp of the headquarters. Teacher Zefa has always valued me very much. Going back this time is also expected. In comparison, the 16 branches I built by myself will really not be reassuring in the future."

Looking into the distance, the middle-aged man sighed softly before continuing.

"It is always said that the East China Sea is the weakest of the four seas, so they usually don't pay much attention to it, and the funds allocated to our branches in the East China Sea are often the least. From the facts, it seems to be true. After all, among the pirates in the East China Sea, the one with the highest bounty is about 2000 million Baileys."

"Hmm... isn't that right?" the brown-haired young man asked with some doubts.

"Do you think so too?"

The middle-aged man glanced at him, shook his head and said: "That's right, but after all, this sea is the hometown of Roger, the Pirate King, and there are always strong and terrifying newcomers emerging, and their growth The speed can be described as shocking."

While speaking, his gaze fell on a certain place on the west side of the port:
"In this case, there are too many variables. No matter who the next chief of the branch is, I am a little worried about it, but the result cannot be changed. I only hope that the batch of small ships I ordered today , it may come in handy in the future."

The brown-haired young man followed the gaze of the middle-aged man, but he happened to see a huge ship slowly sailing towards the port. There was no flag flying on the ship, but as a captain of the navy, relying on his familiarity with the structure of the ship , he recognized it at a glance: "Is that a pirate ship?"

"Well, yes, the Black Cat Pirates, the captain is "Black Cat" Chloe with a bounty of 1000 Baileys."

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"In fact, the appearance of these guys is also one of the key points why I worry about the East China Sea Navy."

Turning his head to look at the brown-haired young man, he saw that he was hesitant, as if he wanted to say something, the middle-aged man couldn't help laughing at himself.

"Why, you want to ask me, why didn't you arrest them?"

"Well, that's it..."

The brunette youth nodded slightly.

"Although the 1000 million big pirates are tricky things, Mr. Maynard is an elite from the headquarters. It stands to reason that since we have bumped into them, it is not easy to defeat these people?"

"It's true what I said before. But I heard that they encountered a powerful young man a year ago, which caused some damage to the ship and a lot of personnel losses. I don't know why they saw their pirate ship appear here today. "

The middle-aged man took a deep breath of the cigarette, then flicked it to the ground, and gently crushed the red fire with his leather shoes, said.

"But looking at the appearance of the ship now, the damage is so serious, and there seems to be no pirates on the ship, and Crowe is not on it. I think it is troublesome from above, and even the most important pirate ship is not wanted."

"You are talking about a pirate hunter who has recently gained fame called the Blade of Soul Sword. It seems to be Gaia Allen. He met Crowe more than a year ago and killed a team leader. With many pirates, Crowe was seriously injured and escaped successfully.

Recently, he should have defeated the pirate Porcupine with a bounty of 200 million on Andrik Island, and then he was known as the Blade of Soul of the Sword. He is a good swordsman.

A scary guy like Crowe is rare even in the Great Airline. I heard that he can kill people silently, but I haven't met him, otherwise I would like to see him well.Unexpectedly, he could seriously injure Crowe and escape successfully. "

Hearing the man beside him introduce Alan's situation, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed, and he thought in his heart.

"I hope I don't become a pirate. It would be best if it is possible to join the navy."

Silently withdrawing his gaze from the pirate ship, the middle-aged man turned around, his eyes fell on the row of subordinates in blue uniforms, and he narrowed his eyes and said.

"Why, hasn't there been a reply from the headquarters yet?"

"Report! Mr. Maynard, we have sent the recorded images to the headquarters 10 minutes ago, but until now, there has been no response!"

One of the youths with his hands behind his back took a step forward, and after saluting the middle-aged man, he said solemnly.

"Well, I see, keep in touch."

The middle-aged man frowned and asked.

"The strength displayed by the rest of the pirate group's cadres should not be underestimated either. Remember to remind the headquarters that please give more consideration to the increase of the bounty."

"Yes!"

----

On the other side, Allen also noticed the pirate ship sailing into the port. Looking at the familiar ship, Allen stopped in his tracks.

"Isn't that the pirate ship of the Black Cat Pirates? Why did it appear here?"

Allen was very puzzled. He could feel that there was no familiar figure on the ship. It was obvious that the navy in the town had brought it back by accident. Chloe and his crew should have disappeared.

It seems that Crowe is already implementing his plan, so there is no trace of them on the ship.

There are still a few years before Luffy goes to sea. It should be 1514-15 years in the lunar calendar. He didn't pay attention to the time, but it should be some time before Li Keluo went undercover in Xiluobu Village. He didn't know this guy Where did you go.

"After I come back from the great route, you must stay alive and wait for me to find you, Crowe."

Allen stared at the pirate ship and murmured.
