Arkham in the pirate world

The naval fleet led by Lieutenant General Stoloberg broke into the territorial waters and stopped in the outer sea, about ten nautical miles away from the coast.

This is the limit that Liszt can accept.

In the hour after the explosion, the leadership of the World Government, the Five Old Stars, first became angry and ordered General Sakaski to attack, and soon after, they stopped Sakaski.

Things took a turn for the better

The five old stars who calmed down did not want to see a war that would destroy world peace. At least, they did not want a war that would cause the world to collapse before they were ready.

Naturally, the Navy Headquarters does not want to start the war lightly.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Stoloberg just brought some of the elite generals of the Navy Headquarters to Kesha City to protect the surviving Migor Puri and other members of the inspection team. As for Chalmac Saint, soon after the navy arrived, Under the protection of CP0, Kesha City was evacuated.

Saint Chalmac is not a fool. Even after being attacked once, he still stays here, just in case those lowly untouchables have follow-up methods.

Among them, there is also the persuasion of the masked man in white robe.

In short, Saint Charmache returned to the sea and was protected by the navy app download address xbzs. However, when the navy wanted to send him back to Mariejoia, Saint Charmache refused.

At this time, Lieutenant General Stoloberg, who was responsible for protecting Migor Puri, got the news that the pirates had escaped from the port of Cocosia. After thinking about it for a while, he ordered the naval fleet stationed outside the sea to send a warship to "Cooperate" with the Coast Guard Self-Defense Force of the Earl of Arkham to pursue the pirates.

It was said that they were cooperating, but in fact it was Lieutenant General Stoloberg who strictly ordered the pursuing warships to capture the pirates before the Coast Guard Self-Defense Force.

Yes, captured, not sunk.

Lieutenant General Stoloberg received a message from Sakaski, hoping that he could bring the pirates back to the Navy headquarters for personal interrogation by him.

Lieutenant General Stoloberg obeyed Sakaski's order. On the one hand, he is a lieutenant general and is naturally under the control of the general. On the other hand, if the navy is divided into factions, Lieutenant General Stoloberg , and Sakaski are in the same faction, they are all people who insist on "absolute justice" and will do whatever it takes to achieve this.

A navy warship went to intercept the escaping Straw Hat Pirates according to the chart given by the Coast Guard Self-Defense Force. The remaining four warships, fearing that the defense would be weak after dividing their forces, immediately escorted Charmaine's ship to Arkham. Outside the territorial waters of the earldom.

On the sea surface, a battle formation of the Coast Guard Self-Defense Force, a total of five steamships, like sharks chasing prey, tightly bite the Golden Merli with full sails.

Under Ciel's command and fine-tuning, the Golden Merry always maintained a tailwind trend, and the Golden Merry, which was completely traveling with the wind, ran at a speed that made Luffy and Usopp smack his lips, just like flying.

In such a pursuit battle, no matter how fierce the artillery fire is, it is extremely difficult to hit. It depends entirely on luck or saturation-type covering bombardment to have such a small chance.

"Look ahead, it looks like a navy warship."

Usopp suddenly shouted. At this time, the people at the helm had been replaced by Sanji and Zoro, who were stronger. Usopp acted as an observer. As for Luffy, he was just a brick, moved wherever needed.

The elite of the Navy Headquarters showed their qualities as "elites" at this time. They accurately arrived at the route that the Golden Merli must take to intercept. The black muzzles on the sides were already aimed at the Golden Merli. , but the naval warship did not fire its guns for a long time. Instead, the soldiers of the naval headquarters of the warship were gearing up and getting ready for a boarding battle.

Lieutenant General Stoloberg's order was to capture, so what if he was accidentally sunk by the opponent during the artillery attack?

However, the warship does not fail to fire. In full view of the public, it will always fire twice. Therefore, when the Coast Guard Self-Defense Force ship chasing behind the Golden Merli came to the warship's artillery range, the rear admiral sitting on the warship, Immediately ordered to open fire.

The whistling shells drew an arc in the sky, then passed over the Golden Melly and exploded in the sea behind it.

The waves stirred up by more than a dozen solid shells were more than ten meters high, overturning two steam ships with insufficient tonnage. The remaining three ships had to change their direction to avoid the bombing area.

This U-turn naturally distanced itself from the Golden Melly.

And this is the real intention of the rear admiral, and there is also some revenge mentality in it.

"Your Excellency Major General, the pirate ship has turned."

"They can't run away, so pursue them at full speed."

After the navy warship opened fire, the Golden Melly adjusted slightly like a frightened bird, then drew an arc of white waves on the sea and headed in another direction.

"Ah, they're coming after them" Usopp yelled in surprise.

Luffy smiled happily and said, "This is the great adventure of freedom."

"Take the risk, I'm going to die"

Usopp prayed pessimistically, then looked at Ciel and asked: "Hey Ciel, if you have any plans, tell me quickly."

"Right ahead, there is a sea area full of rocks. The sea currents form vortices between the rocks. Only those who understand the flow of sea water can follow the sea water, avoid those rocks, and leave smoothly." Charles pointed to the front and said. .

"What if I didn't avoid it?"

"You can write a suicide note first and make a drift bottle. It's not too late to throw it away now." Charles said.

"Luffy, is it okay if we don't go? I suddenly got a disease that will kill you when you see the rocks."

"Ciel, is there no other way?" Luffy asked.

"No, once you get there, you leave the territorial waters of the Earl of Arkham. Yes, if you go around, you have to make a big circle. Moreover, the reef waters will stop the pursuing navy and buy us time to escape. As long as we are out of sight of the navy, if they want to find us again in this vast sea, they will have to spend ten times more effort and troops. What do you think, Captain Lu, make a decision, whether to keep going forward or..."

Luffy grinned with an infectious smile on his face, made a fist with one hand and knocked it on the palm of his hand, and said: "Of course, keep going forward."

"Luffy" Usopp had tears in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I mainly studied navigation in school. I am one of the most powerful people in the school in navigation." Ciel said easily.

"Oh, is there anyone as good as you?" Luffy asked in surprise.

"Yes, there are too many powerful people in the world. In the academy, there was a girl who was younger than me. She beat me in a sailing competition. However, she and I are good at different things. What she is better at is relying on Her talent is to instinctively sense the sea, just like fish people can survive in the sea. What I am better at is learning, then analyzing and reasoning, so I participated in three sailing competitions in the academy, and the first She beat me first time, and I won the next two times. I heard that after that she studied more seriously than before. If we meet again, I don't know the outcome," said Charles.

"Well, she should have graduated. It seems that she was sent by the headquarters to the Grand Line, an empty island called Visalia for further training. Maybe she has surpassed me a lot. Besides, she seems to be someone who hates pirates."

"That's right, Miss Keya, she also studied in the academy. Are there so many powerful people in that academy?" Usopp couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little envious.

Charles smiled and said: "There are not many geniuses like her. Moreover, as long as ordinary people are willing to work hard, miracles will always happen. The most important thing is not to give up hope."

"The Grand Line?" Luffy looked forward, full of longing for the future. As for the current crisis, he didn't take it to heart.

Soon, the people on the boat felt the surging sea currents, which caused the boat to rock. The Golden Melly began to heave and bump.

The navy warship came to the reef area and saw that the Golden Melly had already walked a certain distance in the reef area full of whirlpools.

"Your Majesty, Major General, what should I do? On the chart, there are many reefs ahead, which is an extremely dangerous area."

The major general glanced at the chart and followed the signs on the chart. If they went around, they would have no chance of blocking the pirate group ahead. He said without hesitation: "Chase them in."

"Wherever pirates can go, our navy can also go and we must arrest them. Once dangerous pirates like this escape, I don't know how many people will suffer because of it. We must move forward. We are a righteous navy."

"Yes"

"go ahead"

The warship resolutely entered the reef area with turbulent undercurrents. However, they did not know that this was a completely artificial trap. It was a hill moved from the bottom of the sea by the fishman Mianjin, and was arranged according to Ciel's calculations.

Charles dared to go in because he was the maker of this trap, but even he himself was concentrating on it while sailing, paying attention to any changes in the sea currents. It is conceivable that the warship broke in unprepared. , what consequences will there be?

Hit the rocks

Before sailing more than ten meters, the warship hit a reef in the sea and was knocked out of a huge gap. Immediately afterwards, the warship was sucked into the vortex, just like an animal trapped in a swamp. No matter how hard it struggled, it was difficult to escape. Escape from bad luck.

"Luffy, great, the warship crashed" Usopp said happily.

"Hey, those people aren't going to die, are they?" Luffy was not happy, but looked behind him worriedly.

"We can't turn around on this road, we can only go forward." Charles said.

After a moment of silence, Luffy said, "I understand, then just keep moving forward."

"Don't worry, the people from Arkham Earldom are here, they should be rescued." Ciel said.

Luffy turned around and saw the distinctive steamboat buzzing outside the reef area.

Liszt looked for Stoloberg and did not give him a chance to speak. He said with a cold face: "Lieutenant General Stoloberg, what do you mean? Why do you want to bombard our people and stop our pursuit? Is it possible?" Tell me, what contact do those pirates have with you? Now that the pirates have escaped, who will bear the responsibility?"

Stoloberg had just received the news from the front, and was speechless when he heard Liszt's attack.

He was not a general who was good at speaking, and his expressionless face showed a hint of embarrassment.

Yes, in this pursuit, the Navy played the role of "pig teammates". It would be okay if they caught the Straw Hat Pirates, but they didn't, so they gave Liszt a handle. This made him feel guilty and lacked confidence. .

Liszt snorted coldly and said: "I will report this matter to the World Government truthfully. Don't try to make excuses. Mr. Miguel will testify, right? It's not that we don't want to catch pirates, it's that the navy won't let us catch pirates." thief"

Migor Puri was sitting next to him, and in order to ensure his safety, Stoloberg was closely guarding him.

Hearing Liszt's complaining words, Migor Puri glanced at Stoloberg and did not give the Vice Admiral who was protecting him any face. He said directly: "I will also follow up on the Navy's dereliction of duty. World Government Report.”

Stoloberg was very angry when he heard this. He was obviously here to protect Migor Puri, but now he was doing a thankless job and had to be reported. He almost got up and slammed the door and left.

In fact, Migor Puri's psychology is very simple. If there is such a big mistake in this inspection team's operation, someone must take the blame.

Of course, he can't bear this responsibility by himself. He can't afford it.

As for Arkham Group, there is a pot

However, Liszt has almost washed the pot. He is rescuing people when he should, and catching pirates when he should. He can't find any fault. If he wants to find fault, the most is that he did not do a good job in security. However, after the inspection team moved in, this work was all taken over by the inspection team's guards, and Liszt was no longer the main person responsible.

Now, as long as the ins and outs of the explosion are clarified and it is confirmed that it really has nothing to do with Liszt, then Liszt is also a victim in this incident. What's more, it is really not easy to put the blame on Liszt. Wouldn't that be the case? Contrary to the decisions of the world government

So, who else can take the blame?

Look, there is the most suitable scapegoat right in front of you. It just so happens that the Navy is still in the process of arresting people and they made a mistake. They put the blame on their own heads. This is too considerate. Migor Puri doesn't make a fuss about it. , I'm sorry for the big gift from the navy.

In addition to this reason, Migor Puri also used this to vent his anger. Anyway, he is an official of the World Government. If he makes a small report about the Navy, is there any problem? It is absolutely fine. The Five Old Stars are happy to see this situation.

The upright Stoloberg, completely unaware of the two people in front of him, had already set up a big pot for him. After a moment of silence, he said loudly: "Don't worry, our navy will definitely arrest those pirates." "

Migor Puri shook his head, is this the key? Did the pirates say that they can catch so many pirates in the world? They have been caught long ago.

Stoloberg completely missed the point.

The key now is to divide the pot.

Liszt was much more relaxed now and said to Migor Puri: "My people have found some clues about the explosion."

"Yeah really?"

Liszt said: "I think your intelligence personnel should have discovered something."

"This is a vendetta of a personal nature, targeting Lord Charmak."

Liszt put the two photos on the table and said: "This, called Charles, is a staff member of our security department. This, Lillian, is also a staff member of the security department. After the explosion, we discovered that Charles and the They escaped together as pirates, and Lillian also lost contact, so they searched their residence and found something. It turned out that the cause of the matter was in Char, and he and Lord Charmako, There is some connection.”

"Um"

"Ten years ago, Lord Charmac visited the Kingdom of Goa in the East China Sea. In the Kingdom of Goa, there was a place called the Uncertainty Terminal, which was a large garbage dump in the Kingdom of Goa. A large number of garbage dumps were collected every day. Garbage is transported from the city center. The Kingdom of Goa is spotless and is known as the most beautiful country in the East China Sea. However, there are a large number of civilians isolated outside the high wall in the garbage dump. It is estimated that more than people live there. ."

Liszt recounted: "They have no other source of livelihood and make a living by picking up garbage all day long. Their simple residence is made of wooden boards, iron sheets, cardboard boxes, etc. randomly picked up in the garbage dump. It is even more incredible. Even children who have just turned four or five years old will take the initiative to go to the garbage dump with their families from morning to night to pick up treasures in order to improve their family income."

Ciel also told Luffy and the others about the calm sea.

“These children simply don’t have the time or attention to receive an education. Although their material conditions are so poor and they don’t have three meals a day to eat, they are not ashamed of picking up garbage. They think it is earned through their own hard work. At the same time, they can depend on each other with their families. Although it is hard work, It’s worth it, so they live happily every day.”

"However, everything was broken because of the visit of Saint Charmak. In order to welcome Saint Charmak, the nobles of the Kingdom of Goa decided to use a fire to clean up the Uncertain Terminal. And live in The civilians there, they were not informed at all, they were abandoned."

"In the dark night, the fire burned, the flames burned, and there were screams everywhere. Fortunately, that day, I was picking up shells at the beach. Because I harvested too much, I had no time to go back. I survived, but my family , father, mother, sister, brother, they are all dead."

"The funny thing is that after Charma Kesheng left, the Uncertain Terminal returned to its original appearance. There were still a large number of people trying to survive there, and I was among those people. However, I was not willing to let it go. After living my life like that, I am afraid that when the next Charmaine comes, there will be another fire. Will I still be so lucky then?"

"By chance, I saw the recruitment news for the Viscounty of Arkham at that time from a newspaper in the trash. I took the risk and sneaked into the dock, secretly stole a ship flying the bat flag, and arrived at Cocosia at that time. Village. I first found a job as a busboy in a restaurant. Soon after, Arkham Academy recruited students. I used the money I earned from my part-time job to sign up for myself and enter Arkham Academy."

"I succeeded. After I graduated, I worked hard and won respect and recognition. If there were no accidents, maybe I could become the mayor. However, there are always accidents in life. Charmaine Saint, the one who triggered that incident The culprit of the fire came to the East China Sea again."

"So, you caused that explosion" Usopp said.

Ciel's experience made everyone sympathize, especially Luffy, who had personally experienced that disaster. More importantly, he also lost an older brother, Sabo, who drank the sworn wine at that time.

"It's the Saint Charma who killed Sabo." Luffy clenched his fists, his eyes cold and filled with murderous intent.

Before this, he didn't know the Celestial Dragon Saint Charmac, but through Ciel's narration, he had determined that the guy who killed Sabo had stood in front of him.

However, thinking of the masked man in white robes protecting the Holy Charma, Luffy's clenched fists slowly loosened.

"Ciel, teach me Haki. I want to become stronger," Luffy said firmly.

"Um"

Luffy didn't want to worry his friends. He smiled and showed a row of white teeth and said, "Only in this way can I sail more freely in this sea. I want to be the man who becomes the Pirate King."

"Then, I'm begging you too," Zoro said seriously.

The recent battles have made Zoro clearly aware of his own shortcomings. His swordsmanship is not strong enough.

Sanji smoked a cigarette and said: "Next, there will be many navy chasing after you guys. Really, if I touch you guys, I can't even go back to Barati Restaurant. It will bring trouble to the old man. Damn that domineering attitude." , I can learn it too."

Usopp looked around. He was the weakest here. He said dejectedly: "I probably can't learn it, so forget it."

"Hey, do you want to be killed? The guy chasing us is not a small character in the East China Sea. Only by becoming stronger can we survive." Zoro said.

Usopp was trembling with fear and said quickly: "Then let me learn too."

"No problem, it's just that I will only teach you the techniques of awakening and the most basic content. As for whether you can succeed and what will happen next, it is up to you. After all, I am only half-experienced." Charles said .

The explosion that occurred in Kesha City attracted a lot of attention. Before dark, the truth was revealed, and the efficiency was staggering.

However, this is the result of the joint efforts of the entire Earl of Arkham, plus the intelligence personnel from all parties lurking here.

This is the power of collective power

Mastermind, Charles

Helper, Lillian

In order to retaliate against Charmaco Saint, Charles planned the bombing.

Why is Lillian involved?

Because Lillian was the person in charge of hotel security at Arkham Group before the inspection group checked in.

After Lillian "defected", Gabra, another head of Cipher Pol's special operations team stationed in the East China Sea, put all the blame on Lillian. Because Lillian was one of their own, they were negligent. Lian helped Ciel cover up, so no one discovered that explosives had been placed inside the hotel.

As for why Lillian wanted to help Ciel.

love

It must be because of love

A woman who falls in love has basically zero IQ.

What's more, someone took a photo of Ciel and Lillian's brief meeting when the explosion occurred.

Witnesses, physical evidence, eyewitnesses, now, an extremely complete chain of evidence has been closed.
