Pirate Warm Sea

Chapter 205 The Missing Island

At the Sakura Island Naval Base, Colonel Nairara looked at the information in his hands at a loss. In recent days, islands in the surrounding waters have mysteriously disappeared.

Is it because all the people and islands disappeared, but there was no earthquake or tsunami, so the good island suddenly disappeared?So he reported the matter to the headquarters. Seven days later, the headquarters replied and ordered him not to pursue this matter any more.

Nairian is very dissatisfied with this decision made by the headquarters. How can such a big matter be left alone?What if another island disappears?
Sure enough, patrolling soldiers reported Uenojima's mysterious disappearance that night, and the Okutama Islands suddenly disappeared three days later.These disappearing islands are getting closer and closer to Sakura Island, and Nairya looks worriedly at the heavy snow outside and the more brilliant cherry blossoms as it gets colder.

This year's cherry blossoms are more beautiful than previous years, but his mood is extremely bad.

"Dong dong dong..." There was a sudden knock on the door of the office.

"Come in." Nairan called weakly.

A soldier holding a folder came in and saluted: "Report to Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel Phoenix just had a conflict with Major General Joel on Central Avenue."

"Oh." Nairian waved his hand casually and said absent-mindedly, "I see."

The soldier was stunned, so it's over?That's Major General Joel. Didn't the Navy Headquarters order all the branch bases in the East China Sea to find Major General Joel immediately?

"Huh?" Nairian suddenly turned his gaze to the soldier standing in front of the desk. Feeling that something was wrong, he quickly sat up and asked, "Who did you just talk about?"

Seeing the surprised look of his own officer, the soldier swallowed a mouthful of saliva and repeated: "Major General Joel, Major General Joel, Angel Sword!"

"Shua——" Nairian stood up in a panic, rushed to the hanger in twos and threes, put on his navy cape, put on his white navy cap, and rushed out of the office.

Seeing this, the soldiers followed immediately, and Nairian asked, "Where is Lord Joel now?"

"It should be home... The little ones dare not approach Lord Joel..." the soldier replied.

"Should? What should be?" Nairyan questioned, and suddenly turned his eyes to see Phoenix with a sad face, stepped forward and asked, "Did you offend Master Joel just now?"

Phoenix was about to cry when he heard that, and said with a weeping face, "My lord, just now I thought there was an air raid and I took a team of soldiers to check it out, but I didn't know that person was Lord Joel, I was demoted on the spot class……"

"What?" Downgrade?Nairyan was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked, "How could Lord Joel downgrade you so well?" Besides, shouldn't such a downgrade be reported to the Navy Headquarters first?
Phoenix was extremely aggrieved, and sobbed: "There was an old man on the street who was talking crazy and shouted out the time when the island disappeared in the past few days. I just pointed a gun at the old man and threatened him. Shut up, I didn't expect..."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." the 30-year-old Phoenix actually shed tears in public.

"Are you pointing a gun at the common people in front of Mr. Joel?" Nairian pointed at Phoenix, trembling with anger, and then nodded angrily, "You wish for luck!"

He asked again: "Did you tell Master Joel about recalling the headquarters to him?"

Phoenix slapped his head, "At that time, I only wanted to run, but I forgot."

"Row!"

After speaking, Nairian left Phoenix behind, and said to the soldiers behind him: "Call me all the files related to the disappearance of islands in the East China Sea, and send them to Major General Joel's home immediately!"

"Yes!" The soldier saluted, stuffed a newspaper into Phoenix's hand and trotted away.

Phoenix held the old newspaper that was still warm and opened it, and saw the headline read: Naval Headquarters Supernova, People's Patron Saint, Angel Sword Colonel Joel!
……

Joel hired some helpers to renovate his dilapidated house, strengthened the earthen wall, and blocked the air leaks in the house.And cleaned it again, replaced all the old and moldy bed sheets with new ones, and walked in with Xitie.

Carefully controlling the power of the sun to burn the inside of the house with flames, warming the hut that was originally full of pungent smells, allowing them to have a shelter in the cold wind and snow.

Lighting a plate of charcoal fire, although the strength of the two of them made them no longer afraid of the cold, but after all, it is winter, at least respect it, and it looks more like a homely atmosphere.

Joel put the bought ingredients into a clay pot, set up a simple hanger on the stove and started cooking chicken soup.Joel took care of the domestic chicken soup carefully, while Hitty hugged his arms and snuggled up to him.

"I've been poor since I was a child, and I can't compare to the palace and temple in Durandac. I've wronged you." Joel said with his arms around Hitty.

Xiti took advantage of the situation and leaned into his arms, the smell of chicken soup slowly filled the whole hut, her nostrils moved slightly and she swallowed a mouthful of saliva as she smelled the aroma in the pot that made her move her index finger.After eating vegetables for more than 1000 years in the temple, today I can finally taste what meat is like.

Moreover, this pot of broth (╯▽╰) is so fragrant~~ah——

"I'd rather stay in this hut, by your side, than that huge, cold palace." Hitti lay down and looked at Joel's face from below.

"Hey." Joel lifted the lid of the pot and poked the chicken with his chopsticks. After an hour of slow cooking, it was finally stewed, and he took a sip of the chicken soup with a spoon.

Hmm - it's still the original taste, it's changed ever since time travel, only the taste of cooking by myself remains the same, it's still the familiar taste from the previous life.

Another sip, hmm!Winter and chicken soup are really a perfect match!One of the advantages of cooking is that you can steal food in the name of trying salty food. He did not dare to do this kind of thing in his previous life.

Seeing the exaggerated intoxicated expression on Joel's face, Xiti swallowed her saliva and immediately put her little head out, and said anxiously: "I want to taste it too, I want to taste it too..."

Joel picked up a small porcelain bowl and scooped one for Hitty, and deliberately tore off a big chicken leg and put it in her bowl.Xiti looked at the bowl of bright yellow chicken soup curiously while holding the hot chicken soup, and sniffed it, it was really delicious!
I don't know how many times better than the fish and chips made by the emperor, looking up at the starry sky!
Picking up a small spoon and taking a sip gracefully, his golden pupils lit up instantly, and tears flowed down his face. This is too delicious!

"Is it good?" Joel asked.

"Yeah!" Xi Ti nodded sweetly, drinking it sip by sip.

The wind and snow were raging outside, and inside Joel was drinking hot chicken soup with Xi Ti in his arms.Xiti looked out the window, feeling warm in her heart, this is home.

"Dong dong dong..." A sudden knock on the door interrupted the moment of warmth between the two of them.

Joel frowned, who didn't open his eyes!

He said coldly, "Come in!"

Hearing Joel's cold voice outside the house, Colonel Nairyan trembled in his heart, and carefully pushed open the door with the documents in his hand. Looking at the young couple who were embracing each other inside the room, he felt extremely embarrassed, and he didn't know whether to enter or not. .

Joel looked at the colonel's uniform of the man outside the house and nodded. He should be the garrison officer dispatched by the Navy Headquarters to the Sakura Island base.

"It's windy outside, come in and warm up!" Xiti stood up and filled a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Nairara.

Holding the delicious chicken soup in his hands, Nairian's hands began to tremble uncontrollably. He was already terrified when he bumped into the warm moment of the young couple. How could he dare to drink the chicken soup that Hitty brought.

"He seems to be very afraid of you." Xitti whispered in Joel's ear.

Joel smiled helplessly. After all, his reputation in the Navy Headquarters was too great, and there was no one below the generals of the Headquarters who was not afraid of him.

"Why are you standing there? Do you want me to feed you?" Joel said.

Nairyan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, seeing that Joel was not as...uh... with a fierce look in his eyes and a mouth full of fangs, his nervous nerves relaxed.

He slowly drank the chicken soup in his hand, and the warm feeling immediately drove the cold out of his body.With a wave of Joel's left hand, a ball of flame swept across his body to evaporate the snow on his body and dry his wet uniform.

Joel seemed to be understating it, but Nairian was frightened into a cold sweat by this hand, and anyone who saw the flames burning on his body would not be calm.

But I was fine at all, the warm smell of the sun on the white navy uniform spread over my face, and I looked at Joel again, his fair skin had a faint golden holy light flowing, his facial features were handsome and extraordinary, between the brows There is also a kind of shocking domineering.

Rumors are indeed rumors. How could such a handsome and sunny young talent be portrayed as a butcher who drinks blood and kills without blinking an eye?
Seeing the young girl with blurred face and hidden in the white divine light, Nairian thought deeply, maybe this is the power of love.

"What's the matter?" Joel's eyes fell on the folder in his hand.

Nairian saluted immediately, handed over the folder in his hand respectfully, and said, "Report to Major General, my subordinates have important reports..."

Joel took the file and flipped through it on his own, "Talk!"

"Yes! About ten years ago, an island named Virmejo disappeared mysteriously in the East China Sea. In the past ten years, many islands have disappeared one after another. Originally, these islands were not in the Sakura Island defense area, and the previous garrison officers did not Concerned, it wasn't until nearly a month ago that many islands around Sakura Island mysteriously disappeared one after another, and this subordinate didn't notice this matter."

"I immediately reported to the headquarters, but the headquarters told me not to worry about this matter, I just need to appease the people. However, this island disappeared mysteriously and never stopped. Seven days ago, Ueno Island in the Sakura Island defense area suddenly disappeared. Three days ago The Okutama Islands also disappeared suddenly, and the subordinates reported to the headquarters..."

"But they still don't care, today I just met you, Major General..."

Joel closed the folder and returned the file to Nairyan, looking a little headache and replied: "I see."

Looking at the folder that was stuffed back in his hand, Nairian felt a little unwilling, and tentatively said: "My lord..."

"I see." Joel thought for a moment and asked, "Are you looking for me back at the headquarters?"

Nairian was startled when he heard the words. Didn’t Phoenix not tell Master Joel about this? How could he know about this? Could it be that the officers of other bases said it?

In this case, he would not ask himself.

He lowered his head guiltily and said, "It is true that this happened. About a few days ago, the headquarters ordered all the bases in the East China Sea to immediately search for the whereabouts of your lord."

"Okay, I already know who did it..."

So fast!Nairian was taken aback, who knew who did it just by looking at the document?Unbelievable.

"You stay put for now, just keep an eye on those islands that still disappear. Leave the rest to me. What the headquarters said is right. This matter is beyond your control, even if all the military forces in the entire East China Sea are combined. It's useless." Joel stood up and put down the bowl in his hand, "Well, now I'll go back to the base with you and report this matter to the headquarters..."

Nairian was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said respectfully, "My lord, please..."

Seeing this, Xiti immediately grabbed Joel's hand and said, "I'm with you."

"Yeah." Joel extinguished the flame in the stove with a wave of his hand, pushed open the door and walked into the vast snow.

……

"Bang——" the door of the marshal's office was suddenly pushed open, and the secretary rushed into the office in a panic with a small phone bug, and saluted the displeased eyes of all the bosses: "Marshal of the Warring States Period, Major General Joel, the sword of the angel Call!"

"what!"

The landline on Sakura Island does not have the authority to go directly to the marshal's office, so it can only be transferred by other departments.

Zhan Guo stepped forward to grab the phone bug and said, "I am Zhan Guo!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone...

Zhan Guo said angrily: "Where did you go this month, kid? Believe it or not, I'll take your skin off when you come back!"

"Huh—" Joel on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "It's comfortable, Marshal, it's a little uncomfortable not hearing you scolding me for a month!"

The corners of the eyes twitched when the Warring States heard the words, you...a pleasant laughter suddenly came from the other end of the phone, it was a girl!
His eyes froze, it should be Joel's friend in the East China Sea, just about to say something, then he sighed weakly, now it's not the time to say this, he said in a gentle tone: "Joel, come back quickly..."

Joel's heart tightened when he heard Zhan Guo's tone, and a bad feeling came to his heart immediately, and he hurriedly asked, "Is something wrong?"

"Hey—" Zhan Guo let out a long sigh, and said, "Meglin...was burned by the flames during the process of catching the Fire Fist...destroyed, disfigured..."

"Bang—" There was a loud thud on the table immediately, and Joel immediately asked angrily, "Where's Blackbeard? Where's that bastard? How can it disfigure Meglin by beating one of three!"

"He..." Zhan Guoyi hesitated and said, "He didn't participate in the battle..."

"Damn it!" Joel looked like a raging lion, "I'm going to kill this bastard!"

Joel immediately looked at Xie Ti, and asked tremblingly, "Xi Ti...burned...can you..."

Tears suddenly filled his eyes, fearing that he would hear a "no" from Xiti's mouth, Zhan Guo and the big guys on the other end of the phone also held their breath, quietly waiting for the girl's answer.

Hearing Joel's vibrato and looking at his nervous face, he knew that this girl named Meglin must have a very important place in Joel's heart.

Before Joel could finish asking, Xi Ti smiled sweetly, "Yes!"

All the people on both ends of the phone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words, Joel threw away the phone bug, hugged Xiti and smiled happily: "Xitie, you are really amazing!"

"Ah—" Xitti was startled by the sudden rise, and giggled, "Put me down, let me down!"

Only then did Joel calm down, picked up the phone bug, his expression gradually became serious, and said, "By the way, Marshal, there is one more thing... The Golden Lion... is in the East China Sea!"

A cold voice came from the other end of the phone, "I know..."

"But, the most important thing now is the war with Whitebeard!"

The top war, is it about to start?
