Arkham in the pirate world

"What makes me stop"

Sakaski held the phone bug and heard the order from the Warring States Marshal. He was so angry that he slapped it on the table, knocking over the teacup on the table. The tea flowed out, but was instantly covered by the hot water. The magma vaporizes and turns into a cloud of steam.

"This is an order from the Five Old Stars. Over there in the Earl of Arkham, the situation has changed. Saint Charmaco is safe and sound, just slightly frightened. Special investigator Migor Puri has been rescued. , and emphasized that this incident is most likely just a revenge incident of pirates and has nothing to do with the Earldom of Arkham. Considering the stability of the world situation, the world government needs to ensure peace in the East China Sea." Sengoku used concise words to give Sakaski Did the analysis.

Although Sengoku does not recognize Sakaski's "absolute justice", Sakaski is indeed a qualified admiral, making it difficult for his superiors to single out thorny subordinates. So, no matter what, Sengoku will I hope to lead the future of these navy before leaving office.

As a naval admiral and a person who hopes to become a naval marshal, he should not look at the gains and losses of a certain place, a certain place, or a person, but consider the overall situation. To have an overall view, what is needed is a strategic level consideration.

In this regard, Sakaski is actually slightly inferior to Kuzan, which is one of the reasons why Kuzan stood out in the Warring States Period.

On the other hand, Sakaski is one of the Five Old Stars, a candidate selected by the World Government. In order to balance the factions within the Navy, the Warring States Period must introduce someone to compete with Sakaski. Kuzan is the one who was pushed out by the Navy. people.

After hanging up the phone, Sakaski closed his eyes slightly. When he opened them again, the anger in his eyes had dissipated.

"come"

"Yes, General Sakaski"

"Where are you now?"

"We will soon enter the windless zone"

"Stop the boat"

The steamer, emitting black smoke, stopped outside the windless zone.

After the meeting at the Navy Headquarters, Gion followed Lieutenant General He into the staff office, which belonged to Lieutenant General He.

After Lieutenant General He sat down, he glanced at Gion. Although there was nothing visible on Gion's face, Lieutenant General He had taken Gion for more than ten years and knew that she was a person who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. At this time, Gion There must be some depression and dissatisfaction inside.

Otherwise, during the meeting, Liszt would not have deliberately informed him of Sakaski's movements while on the phone with him. This move undoubtedly revealed the navy's action plan and gave Liszt time to prepare in advance.

Lieutenant General Tsuru motioned Gion to sit down, and after thinking for a while, he said, "You really trust Liszt?"

"Yeah" Gion looked up in confusion.

"Because he helped you and saved your relationship with Iska, you felt that you could trust him. Therefore, when this incident happened, your judgment instinctively sided with him, thinking that this incident was related to He has nothing to do with it, your sensibility has defeated your rationality." Lieutenant Commander Tsuru pointed out Gion's psychology and said calmly.

"Sister He, no, no."

Lieutenant General He raised his hand, interrupted Gion's words, and said, "No need to explain, you just have to answer me, do you believe him or not?"

Gion frowned, thought deeply, and said slowly, "If it was really him, then why did he rescue Migor Puri? What was his purpose? He just created an explosion and caused trouble for himself. This is so unreasonable."

Lieutenant General He glanced at Gion and suddenly said, "Perhaps this unreasonableness is the most reasonable explanation. Don't ignore it. Liszt's influence on his territory, I can't imagine what kind of sea... A thief can sneak into the expedition team's hotel right under his nose, cause an explosion, and still escape unscathed."

Gion was taken aback.

"If you think about it from this perspective, isn't Liszt's suspicion very high?"

"This" Gion was speechless for a moment.

"So, why did he do this? What is the purpose and motive?"

Lieutenant General He said slowly, "Test"

"Um"

"He is testing the world government and the bottom line of the Five Old Stars."

"If that's really the case, then, just now"

Lieutenant General He said, "Why didn't I bring it up? Are you really willing to see a war? Liszt dared to do this. I'm sure he must be ready for war. When he heard you say Sakaski, his tone was not A trace of fluctuation shows that this is all part of his plan."

"That's General Sakaski," Gion said in surprise.

"Sakaski needs to pass through the windless zone when heading to the East China Sea. If it were me, I would intercept Sakaski in the windless zone," Lieutenant General He said.

"windless zone"

"Don't forget, Sakaski is a Devil Fruit user. The island is hard to find in the windless zone. Once the boat is destroyed, Liszt, who has a fishman under his command, can completely escape in the windless zone quietly. Destroy the ship Sakaski was traveling on silently," Lieutenant General He said.

"In a special place, a special time, and a special environment, the so-called generals and four emperors will also become very fragile and vulnerable."

Gion frowned.

Lieutenant General He suddenly smiled and said, "Of course, what I said above is all my hypothesis and a possibility. Did you break out in a cold sweat? But you can't ignore this possibility. Don't be let by your feelings. , affects your judgment."

Gion breathed a sigh of relief, she was really frightened by Lieutenant General He, but now she did have doubts in her heart.

Then, she was stunned again and said awkwardly, "No feelings, it's nothing."

Lieutenant General He glanced at Gion. Gion was obviously not that kind of ignorant little girl. She did not say anything and instead said, "Liszt is very dangerous. He is by no means a law-abiding person. His threats are... He will not be younger than Dolag, and he is more mature, more cunning, and better at hiding himself than Dolag. You must be alert enough."

"Yeah" Gion nodded heavily.

Gion is not only the successor appointed by Lieutenant General Tsuru, the two are also very good friends across generations. They are like sisters. Naturally, he does not want her to make mistakes on the issue of stance. She can have a relationship with Liszt and the Arkham Group. Keep in touch, but you should also know your position.

"Hurry up, go over there and have a look."

After the explosion, the cities of Cocosia and Kesha were under full martial law. A large number of police officers took to the streets and patrolled everywhere. Pirates, in particular, were subject to detailed interrogation and strict surveillance.

After a group of patrolmen passed by, Usopp peeked his head out in the alley, then "shushed" and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It's so dangerous. Hey, Zoro, how is Luffy?"

"Ah, the bleeding has stopped. It should be okay, Ciel." Zoro looked at the figure wearing a coat and wearing a polite coat.

The figure turned back, smiled and nodded at Sauron, and said, "Of course, I have learned some first aid knowledge."

It was Ciel who had saved Sauron once.

"Damn it, why do I have to run away with you?" Sanji complained in the corner.

Going back in time, not long ago, Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp accidentally broke into Sanji's kitchen.

The unexpected encounter made the atmosphere in the kitchen stagnant.

Zoro's hand was already pressing the handle of the knife.

The next moment, Sanji frowned and suddenly said, "Hey, who are you? Those guys who protect the Celestial Dragons, even if they are protecting the Celestial Dragons, it's too arrogant to break into the kitchen like this."

"Ah I am the road"

Usopp quickly blocked Luffy's mouth, winked at him, coughed heavily, and said in a serious voice, "Yes, we are escorting Lord Tianlong,"

Sanji glanced at them suspiciously, wondering about the youth of these people, but he was the one who was invited to cook, and he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so he didn't ask any more questions and said, "Just wait a moment, the curry will be ready in a while."

When Luffy saw the delicacies placed on the long table, he naturally couldn't sit still. He secretly used the power of the rubber fruit to stretch his arms. From time to time, he stole something from the table and stuffed it into his mouth. Usopp saw it and suppressed it. He couldn't stop and started eating secretly with him.

"Hey, what are you doing? That's food prepared for the inspection team." Sanji turned around and said after hearing the noise from behind.

Usopp covered his mouth and whimpered, unable to speak. Zoro, on the other hand, calmly picked up a chicken leg and said, "We are checking whether there is poison in the food."

"Green algae head bastard, why is there that kind of thing in my food?" Sanji said loudly with black lines on his forehead.

"Who is the green algae head?" Zoro said unhappily.

Just when Zoro and Sanji were staring at each other, the kitchen door was pushed open, and two figures in loose white robes stood at the door, glanced inside, and then said in an arrogant tone, "Charmaco Are you ready for Lord Saint’s seafood curry rice?”

"Um"

Sanji looked at Luffy, Usopp and Zoro with surprised eyes. Aren't they the ones escorting the Celestial Dragons?

Why would anyone come to urge you?

While Zoro and Sanji were arguing, Usopp had already swallowed the stuff in his mouth. When he saw the figure in a large white robe that suddenly appeared, he immediately realized that something was wrong. These two people were undoubtedly the real members. , if exposed

Usopp was eager and immediately said to the two people before Sanji spoke, "Okay, we'll be fine soon."

"Then send it to Saint Charmak immediately, and wait and see. Do you want to be killed?" a man in white robe scolded.

When Sanji heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly. He was quite unhappy with the attitude of these two people. He didn't bother to expose Usopp, Luffy, and Zoro. He just turned around and scooped up the freshly cooked curry. On the plate of rice.

"Hey, please send the curry rice over there," Sanji said to Luffy.

Luffy smiled and said, "Is this good?"

Usopp quickly grabbed Luffy and whispered, "Hey, Luffy, you're crazy. Those are Celestial Dragons, nobles of the world. There must be many guards around them. If they find out, we will be doomed."

"Hey, don't worry, it's okay. I also want to see what a Celestial Dragon is," Luffy said without fear.

Luffy picked up the covered dinner plate and walked towards the two members at the door.

"Dragon people?"

Zoro was very interested, picked up a bucket of rice, and followed Luffy.

"Hey, you two"

Usopp was a little scared, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Nevermind."

He picked up the curry pot and hurried after him.

The people at the door looked at them, and one of them said to Sanji, "You are the chef, right?"

Sanji looked up.

"The chef will also come with you, if the curry rice you make is not to the liking of Saint Charmak."

Sanji said impatiently, "It's really troublesome."

In this way, Sanji, Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp who suddenly broke in, followed the two members responsible for protecting Charmark Saint, and arrived at the single-family house where Charmark Saint lived. The surroundings were peaceful and quiet. There is a rockery pool and a pleasant environment.

Because they were "escorted" by two people, Luffy and the others did not attract the attention of the security personnel of the expedition team who were searching for the intruding pirates in the hotel, because these people instinctively believed that since some people were there, they would definitely not come out. question.

This is the dark under the lights.

Sanji, Luffy and the others did not see the Charmak Saint, but were left outside, watched by a member, who also asked Sanji to eat the plate of curry rice he scooped first.

After Sanji finished eating, he saw someone through the half-open door holding a special instrument to check the curry and rice to confirm that there were no problems, and finally sent them to Charmak's house.

Such caution made Sanji want to laugh. It turns out that the Celestial Dragons are no different from ordinary people. They are also afraid of death.

Sanji and the others waited outside the villa for a while. At this time, footsteps were heard from inside the half-open door. Luffy and the others turned their heads and saw a man with purple sweet potato skin wearing a square transparent hood walking away. out.

"Who is the cook?" asked St. Charmak.

Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp looked at Sanji at the same time, and Sanji said "I am"

Saint Charmak looked at Sanji, nodded and said, "The food you cook is barely palatable. Then, I allow you to follow me, return to Marigioa together, and become my full-time seafood curry chef."

Sanji was stunned.

Seeing that Sanji didn't speak, Charmak's eyes fell on him and said, "What, do you want to refuse? Do you want to refuse to be my slave? Do you know what the consequences are for disobeying the Celestial Dragons?"

Sanji frowned.

"Do not"

At this time, Luffy, who was next to Sanji, suddenly spoke and said with a wide smile, "Sanji, but the chef I want, why would he go to Marigioa?"

"Hey, you guy" Usopp tried to pull Luffy, but he pushed him away.

"Well" Saint Chalmac looked at him and said displeasedly, "How presumptuous, low-down guys like you, you are not even qualified to be my slave, kill them."

The two people guarding the door stepped forward.

Sanji quickly said, "Lord Charmak, this matter has nothing to do with them."

Luffy walked up to Sanji, clenched his fists, and said to Sanji, "My name is Luffy, and I am a pirate who goes to sea to become the Pirate King. They are my partners, Zoro and Usopp, and you will also become the Pirate King." My partner”
