Pirate's Doom Follows

Chapter 81 Scarlet Rabbit

"Ed, what's wrong?"

"dad?"

In the living room, everyone's eyes turned to Adrian, who was behaving strangely.

Adrian's complexion turned blue and white, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were full of entangled emotions. He turned his head to look at his daughter who was sitting on the sofa with a concerned expression on his face, "······· Those two brats, O and Atlas, are rushing over here."

The words fell, and there was silence.

"Leo? Ed, is it really Leo?" Phoebe asked suspiciously.

"It's that brat." Adrian nodded in affirmation. He detected this with his knowledge and arrogance, and it was impossible to make a mistake.

This time, it was like water droplets falling into a hot oil pan.

The living room erupted instantly.

First of all, Amo jumped up cheeringly, holding the black cat's slender waist in her little hand and raised it high. Hill rolled his eyes helplessly, kicked the little girl's head with his hind paws mercilessly, and lifted the beautiful hair Silver hair messed up.

"Sister Titi, let's go..."

The little girl excitedly extended an invitation to the girl sitting beside her, but before she could say anything, a burst of violent power erupted instantly.

"Boom bang bang!!!"

"Ping ping pong pong~~~"

As if a storm had passed, the originally clean and tidy living room became a mess. The glass crystal chandelier was broken into scum, the cabinets were overturned, the vases and paintings were smashed and broken. Except for the sofa chairs under everyone’s buttocks, there were no more people in the room. Not a good piece of furniture came out.

Even the iron-wood box containing the devil fruit was shattered into several pieces, as for the devil fruit——

He was rescued by Adrian, who had quick eyesight and quick hands.

"Whoo~~~"

Holding the blue-white devil fruit, Adrian let out a long breath, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

Although the devil fruit possesses demonic power, it is still a fruit itself. Apart from the fact that it will never perish, it is not stronger than ordinary fruits, and it will still be damaged if it is hit by an external force.

"Sorry, I got a little excited."

Tilith flew up and apologized to Adrian in embarrassment.

Adrian's expression was not very good, but he didn't say anything, he just nodded, accepting Tillis's apology.

It took three or four minutes for the chaotic situation to calm down. Phoebe and Adrian were talking in a low voice, vaguely seeming to mention Leo's name. The black cat couldn't take it anymore, escaped from the little girl's embrace, and coiled itself in the corner of the sofa, watching the show quietly like a piece of black coal.

Agnes crossed her legs, and picked up the newspaper that she hadn't finished reading yet, but she knew that this person was not calm just by looking at the rolling eyes.

This is not to blame for Agnes' indetermination. It is because she is very curious about this brother who never forgets Titi, and she really wants to know what kind of person can make Titi so vividly remembered.

And the one who was the most restless among the crowd was Tiris. The girl was floating around in mid-air, and rushed to the window for a while, as if rushing out, but retracted after two or three seconds, and continued to walk in the living room. Turning around in the sky, muttering in a distressed voice.

Nine years of separation have taken up most of her life so far for a 14-year-old girl.

Needless to say, the days before the age of three, there is not much memory at all. Tillis only remembers the scene when her two brothers played with her when she was four or five years old, and this limited memory fragment gradually blurred with age. What I will never forget is the warm and happy feeling at that time.

Father, Mother, Brother Ar, Brother Leo...

She used to think she had lost all her loved ones.

When he learned that Leo was still alive, the memory that had been closed for many years and the longing that blood was thicker than water burst out. He wished he could see Leo right away. However, at this moment Adrian told her that Leo was When rushing over, she was inexplicably timid, and even she herself couldn't figure out why she had such emotions.

Is it because he is afraid that the current Leo is no longer the elder brother who held his hand and played in the garden in his memory?

Or is he afraid that Brother Leo still remembers him?

What exactly is it, Tilith herself can't figure it out, maybe it's a combination of both?
----

"How long will it take to get to the Harz?"

"This... it will take about three hours."

"Can't it be faster?"

"This... This... is already the fastest speed. It can't go any faster. The piston is up to eight air pressures, and the boiler has reached its limit. If you force it any harder, it will explode." Beads of sweat rolled down the engineer's forehead, but he dared not reach out to wipe it off in front of Lieutenant General Gion.

In fact, as the engineer said, the warship was indeed driven to its maximum horsepower, the roaring boiler shook the entire warship, and the thick mast trembled when five people hugged each other.

Since Dr. Vegapunk became a research scientist of the government, the equipment of the navy has also been constantly updated. For example, installing sea stones on the bottom of the ship can avoid the attack of sea kings in the calm zone, but all the sailboats in the calm zone are lost. Power, in order to solve this problem, Dr. Vegapunk applied the steam engine to the warship.

It is a pity that the officials of the world government rejected the application submitted by the navy to replace the steam-powered warships of the entire army on the grounds that there was a huge funding gap and they could not see the value of doing so. The out-and-out world hegemony.

At that time, the angry Warring States rushed to the front of the five old stars, and had a fierce fight with the old guys, but it was over, the wrist could not twist the thigh, and no matter how strong the navy was, it was only one of the three armies under the World Government. It is impossible for the world government to provide funds and technology to replace warships.

In the end, except for some of the warships used to travel through the windless belt, which were equipped with steam engines, the rest of the warships still maintained their old appearance.

In fact, this is not surprising. The sea train in the capital of seven waters has been in operation for two years, but so far only the capital of seven waters has a sea train, and it will not change for many years to come. It doesn't need a prosperous and developed new world, it only needs an old world that obeys its own rule.

Gion stood on the cockpit deck, with his lower body clinging to the railing, his upper body sticking out, looking into the distance.

The slender and tender right hand is holding Jinpira's handle tightly, and the light blue blood vessels are slightly protruding. Even the engineer standing aside can easily feel the restlessness. The latter stands still and dare not move even more, lest Offend the lieutenant general who reshuffled the South China Sea Navy.

During these days, hundreds of military officers were sent to court-martials. Those who were shot were shot, some were imprisoned, and many were dismissed. As an engineer who has worked in the South China Sea Navy for more than 30 years, he dare not say that his buttocks are How clean, I am afraid that if one is not careful, the lieutenant general's sword will fall on his head

Someone even secretly nicknamed Admiral Taotu the "Blood Rabbit", and it spread among the South China Sea Navy in an instant - now probably only Vice Admiral Taotu himself and the cronies she brought from the Navy headquarters don't know .

"Is there any other way to get to the Harz faster?"

"Ah? Huh?" The engineer was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and noticed Gion's knife-sharp gaze, and the cold sweat immediately soaked his back, and the sea breeze was biting cold, "That... No~ no... there is also a steam motorboat for patrol on that ship."

"Steam motorboat? Do you still have this thing here?"

Gion opened his eyes wide in surprise.

The steam motorboat is a military equipment developed by the Naval Equipment Department on the basis of the steamship developed by Dr. Vegapunk and after absorbing the technology of the sea train in the capital of seven waters.

It’s just that, unlike the expectations of the whimsical lunatics in the equipment department, the steam motorboats were forced to stop production after only producing more than 1000 ships. The reasons for all this are very complicated. There are two main reasons. One is the steam motorboat. The comfort of the car is too poor, even if an old sailor who has been drifting at sea for half his life controls this thing, seven or eight out of ten will be vomited.

The second is that the stability is too poor. The miniaturized steam boilers cannot withstand violent collisions, and frequent explosions have caused considerable casualties to the navy.

As a result, the lifespan of the steam motorboat was less than three months from its birth to its end. Most of the steam motorboats produced during this period were destroyed by explosions, and some of the surviving products were scattered among the various naval branches.

"The original captain, he is a fan of steam motorboats..." the engineer was halfway through saying that he remembered that the original captain was sent to prison for embezzling funds for private research on steam motorboats, and it was right in front of him. The arrest warrant signed by Lieutenant General Momotu.

Gion took a deep look at the sweaty and terrified engineer, and didn't ask further, but ordered him to get the steam motorboat ready.

When the steam motorboat was developed, Gion also tried it a few times, and the amazing speed and extreme bumps are still fresh in my memory!

However, with this thing, it is indeed possible to rush to Harz at the fastest speed.

that's enough!
