I Stand For Justice In The Marine

stone forest island

"Jee--"

The long cry of the eagle echoed, and the silver giant eagle flew in the blue sky.

Cross sat on the back of the giant silver eagle, stretched out his head to look at an island below, then looked at the permanent pointer on his wrist, and said to himself with certainty: "It seems that this is here!"

Shilin Island is not among the seven main routes in the first half of the Grand Line, so it needs the guidance of the permanent pointer, otherwise it will be difficult to find the island.

At this time, Cross, who was several hundred meters in the air, saw a Marine standard warship with a body length of more than 50 meters docked on the coast at a glance. The towering three-masted sails were very conspicuous

There are still many sailors walking around on the deck.

However, the place where this warship docked should be a simple port. The pier on the shore looked very simple, all made of wood, and there were more than a dozen wooden fishing boats docked on both sides of the warship.

In addition, the island is located on the coast and built around the port. There are about 300 houses and buildings, but most of them are wooden houses. There are only a few stone buildings. The residents walking outside are also wearing linen clothes. Or animal skin clothing, looks quite poor.

In addition, the 760 "Stone Forest" in the east of the village is the most recognizable. The pillar-shaped rocks are more than ten meters long, and there are hundreds of them. Each stone pillar has traces of erosion by wind and rain. I don't know whether it is a natural formation or a man-made wonder.

In short, on this Stone Forest Island, there are many similar "Stone Forest" scenes, so it is called "Stone Forest Island" by the outside world.

"Go down!"

After circling a few times in the sky with Cross on its back, the giant silver eagle swooped down towards the warship below under the signal of Cross.

"what is that?"

"Bird?"

"The silver bird....and there are people sitting on it!"

"Enemy? Be alert!"

At this time, the sailors on the deck of the warship seemed to have noticed something, and looked up to the sky, and immediately saw a giant silver eagle shining in the sun, and a figure sitting on the eagle's back. .

Boom——

In the next second, the giant eagle landed and stood firmly in the middle of the warship's deck. The silver metal wings flapped, and the roaring violent air flow spread outward, but almost knocked down the sailors on the deck.

Cross jumped off the back of the giant silver eagle, put his left hand on [(beah) Jingxiu] around his waist, looked around with a natural expression, and said loudly, "Where's that woman in Gion?"

"Who are you?"

The sailors on the deck of the warship came to their senses, rushed forward, and surrounded Cross with vigilance.

If it wasn't for the fact that Cross was wearing Marine's coat of justice to make everyone present take care of it, otherwise someone would have already done it.

crunch~

Then, the door of the captain's cabin was opened, and Gion came out wearing a pink jacket, brown cropped pants, and black high-heeled shoes.

"Put down your weapons!"

Gion Qiao% had a calm face, and said in a deep voice: "This is Major Cross of Naval Headquarters, I specially invited him to help!"

"Oh——Major of the headquarters?!"

"The beautiful Gion-sama invited only a major!"

"This guy doesn't look too big, does he?"

"You became a major of the headquarters at a young age, you should have some skills?!"

All the sailors present looked shocked, and they all looked at Cross with suspicion.

"Hey, you're not late, are you? Colonel Gion!"

Cross looked past the sailors on the deck, looked at Gion at the door of the captain's cabin, and asked with a smile.

"As long as that monster hasn't appeared, it's not too late!" Gion also replied with a smile.

"Let's go!"

Then, Gion waved his hand to let the sailors surrounding Cross disperse.

Although they had some doubts about Cross's ability, the sailors on the deck still obeyed the order and withdrew from the siege on Cross.

Immediately, Gion stepped forward, looked Cross up and down, then looked up at the sky, dissatisfied: "You came alone?"

"Are you blind?"

Cross rolled his eyes, and raised his hand to touch the cool feathers of the giant silver eagle beside him.

This giant eagle also bent down obediently, rubbing its head on his body affectionately.

"VR..."

Gion took a breath and looked at the silver-eyed eagle beside Cross in disbelief.

In the next second, a look of anger appeared on Gion's pretty face, and she said viciously: "Don't tell me, you can search the entire Shilin Island by yourself!"

"Hahaha~ Don't be angry, it's just a joke!"

Cross grinned, blinked at Gion jokingly, and said, "I'm impatient, so I'll come here for a field trip first. They're slower, and they'll arrive in the evening!"

"Hmph~ This is more or less the same!" Gion snorted angrily.

"Let's go, I have limited time, take me to the village to understand the situation first, and then look at the surrounding terrain!" Cross said with a smile.

"Why are you in such a hurry.....Fine, come with me!"

Gion nodded, also understood the importance of Cross to Naval Headquarters, and then led Cross towards the shore.

A moment later, the two were walking on the gravel path in the village, followed by a dozen Marine soldiers.

Along the way, the villagers in the village greeted Gion with great respect when they saw Gion and the group.

However, after going deep into the village, Cross found many traces of the battle, as well as some houses and buildings damaged in the battle.

"Look, here are the paw-prints and footprints left by that monster!"

Cross looked in the direction Gion pointed, and found that there were many deep claw marks and feline-like footprints on the ground.

It's just that these footprints are very large, any one of them is bigger than Cross's face.

"That monster never appeared during the day, it only appeared at night!" Gion crossed his arms and said in a deep voice: "According to the confessions of the villagers and sailors who met the monster, the monster was completely black and as big as a cow. It has green vertical pupils, two tails, and roars like a cat or a tiger!"

"Is there such a monster in the world? It must not be a black tiger with two tails!" Cross looked surprised and scratched his head involuntarily.

At this time, an old man with white hair and beard and wrinkled face walked over with the support of a little girl, leaning on a wooden crutch.

"Your Excellency is the new Marine General, so welcome!" The old man walked up to Cross and Gion, and said eagerly.

"This is the village head Holder, and his granddaughter, Tuya!" Gion introduced.

"I can't be called a general. I'm Major Amphitheater Cross. Please give me your advice!" Cross shook hands with Village Chief Holder, with a gentle tone.

"I can't talk about advice, but I just want to ask when you will be able to deal with that monster!" Village Chief Holder looked directly at Cross and asked very directly.

"Uh~"

Cross opened his mouth. He didn't expect the other party to be so direct. He didn't know what to answer for a while. .
