Arkham in the pirate world

In the East China Sea, a storm has ended before it even begins.

The facts of the bombing case are clear and the evidence is complete. Then, as long as Charles and Lillian are arrested and put on trial, the matter will be over.

Now Ciel's whereabouts are clear. He boarded a ship of a group of pirates. Those pirates all showed up, and the World Government offered a reward that day.

Straw Hat Pirates

The captain, Monkey D. Luffy, was called "Straw Hat" because he wore a straw hat and the straw hat symbol on his flag. He took the initiative to attack the Celestial Dragons. He was guilty of serious crimes and had a bounty of 1 million Baileys.

The conspirator, Ciel, was the mastermind behind the attack on the Celestial Dragons. He was guilty of a heinous crime and had a bounty of 1 million beli.

Swordsman, pirate hunter Zoro, a famous three-sword swordsman in the East China Sea, with a bounty of 7500 million Baileys.

Chef, Sous Chef Sanji of Barati Restaurant, with a bounty of 6000 million beli

Crew member Usopp, with a bounty of 900 million beli

This was a bounty that caused a sensation in the East China Sea, because in this place where the overall bounty for pirates would not exceed 3000 million beli, a pirate group with such a high bounty appeared, but it was still an unknown pirate group before. The rookie pirate group is definitely eye-catching.

Not only in the East China Sea, such a reward, but also in the Grand Line, is enough to attract the attention of many big figures.

Every newcomer who can win nearly million or even hundreds of millions of bounties when they are just starting out is impressive enough. They represent the future.

However, there is no doubt that with Luffy's strength, they still cannot reach the amount of their bounty. The reason why there is such an outrageous bounty is because the trouble they caused is too big.

Created the Kesha City Hotel bombing, resulting in the death of a total of 8 people and 19 serious injuries to the World Government inspection team. The rest of the people were all slightly injured.

Of course, it is difficult to tell whether Ciel planned this incident alone or if it was related to Luffy and the others, but in the eyes of the World Government, since Ciel escaped with the Straw Hat Pirates, he is jointly and severally responsible.

However, this incident was not enough for them to have such an exaggerated bounty. What really increased their bounty was the attacking Celestial Dragon Saint Charmak.

You know, when the Tianlong people had trouble in the Chambord Islands, the Navy directly sent an admiral to escort them. If the World Government hadn't considered it this time, Admiral Sakaski would have gone straight to the East China Sea.

This shows how much the World Government attaches great importance to maintaining the ruling class of the Celestial Dragons. Anyone who dares to challenge the Celestial Dragons must be eliminated.

Of course, part of this inflated bounty will be borne by Arkham Group. This is Arkham Group's "dereliction of duty" and compensation to the world government. In addition, pensions for members of the investigation team, etc., and a series of follow-up expenses, All will be borne by Arkham Group.

As for Lillian, what is surprising is that the World Government's reward for her is not high, only 2400 million Baileys.

This is an extremely suitable price in Donghai.

The overall environment of the East China Sea determines that it is difficult for pirates here to develop, which leads to the low overall level.

The bounty of 2400 million Baileys, placed in the East China Sea, already belongs to the "top" group. Bounty hunters will consider whether it is appropriate to provoke them, but in the world, it is not that eye-catching, unlike Luffy and the others. That will attract the attention of all kinds of people.

Needless to say, even if Luffy and the others escape the pursuit of the elite navy fleet led by Vice Admiral Stoloberg and enter the Grand Line, it does not mean safety, but a greater challenge, and it will be a bigger challenge than The development in the original plot is more difficult and severe.

In the original plot, Luffy and the others only attracted the attention of the world after they caused a riot on Judiciary Island. Before that, they had accumulated a lot of experience and strength through their adventures. But now, the World Government and the Navy are eyeing them from the beginning. Yes, it can be called a hellish difficulty.

The World Government raises their bounty, not just for the bounty, but to use the bounty to kill them. Before a group of people even enter the Grand Line, they are carrying hundreds of millions of bounties, which is completely telling the great Those guys on the route are stupid and money comes quickly.

In contrast, Lillian was less conspicuous in such a bounty.

So, is it the world government that doesn’t value Lillian?

Of course not. In fact, the World Government values ​​Lillian more than the Straw Hat Pirates.

There are two reasons for this.

First, Lillian is a member of C0. She knows some unknown secrets, and her "defection" has put a question mark on the loyalty of the C0 department. The impact is extremely bad. In order to protect her own Naturally, Lillian had to deal with her image and status personally.

Secondly, although there is sufficient evidence for the explosion, the World Government does not trust the Arkham Group, because this incident has reached the limit of the World Government's tolerance.

Even if the World Government backs down this time, the cracks have already been laid. In the eyes of the World Government, the former Arkham Group is a well-developed business group, just like Gilder Tezolo, who can be tamed into a a dog.

Who knows, the Arkham Group is not a dog, but a wolf, a wolf that is not well-raised.

The Five Old Stars no longer trust the Arkham Group and have listed it as one of the dangerous targets. They have to tolerate it just for the sake of the stability of the world situation, just like they tolerated the Yonko and the Shichibukai.

Lillian is the person at the core, she must know something, so the World Government wants to catch her personally and get the answers they want.

It is precisely because of this emphasis that the bounty on Lillian has been greatly reduced, not wanting her to fall into the hands of other forces.

Behind the "ultra-low" bounty, Donghai's C3 and the cihero special operations team headed by Gabra have been fully mobilized to find any clues about Lillian. The C0 headquarters located in the Grand Line has also sent a team of elites. Rush to the East China Sea.

Because Lillian took a boat when she escaped, the intelligence personnel only needed to check which ships had left at that time, and then verified each ship one by one, sparing no effort in manpower or financial resources, and they could quickly pinpoint Lillian's whereabouts.

Haiwei Port

This important port of the Kingdom of Halet, located in the northern part of the East China Sea, has since cooperated with the Arkham Group. The goods from the Cocosia Port have been shipped back here and radiated to the northern kingdoms, earning various price differences from it. It has become A very prosperous city.

In the center of the city, a new square was built in memory of Ernest Paulin, who died last year.

In view of his outstanding contribution to the development of Haiwei Port, the Kingdom of Hallet posthumously awarded him the Royal Medal of Knighthood.

The governor of Haiwei Port also named the renovated central square Ernest Square.

A bust sculpture of him was erected on the lawn in the center of the square as a memorial.

With the death of Ernest Paulin, there are still some people and some things that are mentioned again, such as the Saatchi, that stupid Meldmay, and his father, Commander Ferrian, and The "Owl Declaration" that has always affected the East China Sea and is regarded by dignitaries from all over the world as a curse hanging above their heads.

Because of this declaration, there was a period of vendetta in the East China Sea, and a group of malicious guys used it to achieve certain goals. As a result, some organizations calling themselves the "Owl Court" appeared in various parts of the East China Sea. They used assassinations to In other ways, the East China Sea was shrouded in dark clouds, causing people to change their expressions when they mentioned "owl", and the "Owl Court" gradually became an evil organization and was feared by people.

"Beware of the Court of Owls, always watching your travels. Peeping at the East China Sea in the dark, hiding in the attic with low walls. He is with you in your home, in your bed and in your bed. Never mention his name, or his claws will kill you. Find it."

This is a nursery rhyme that spreads out from nowhere, but is remembered by some people who walk in the darkness.

At this time, sitting on a bench in Ernest Square, an extremely beautiful lady was sitting. She was wearing a black coat and a round hat, holding a newspaper in her hands wrapped in lace gloves.

Pedestrians passing by couldn't help but glance at her. Some people who thought they were handsome or had some status would even approach her and strike up a conversation, but they were all rejected by her with a smile.

This woman is naturally Lillian who came to Haiwei Port.

After the bell tower next to the square rang twelve times, she stood up, picked up the small handbag on the seat, left the square, and then followed Pauline Avenue to the mountain forest area of ​​Haiwei Port. It is a large cemetery with low terrain and overgrown weeds. It seems that no one takes care of it. Obviously, this is a cemetery for civilians. As for the nobles or rich people in the city, they have better cemeteries and will also have tomb guards. If someone takes care of it, it may be cleaner and spotless than many people's homes.

Among the messy tombstones, Lillian found two connected graves. The sides of the graves were full of weeds, which were even higher than the tombstones.

Lillian cleared the weeds to reveal the names engraved on the tombstones.

"George Ferrian"

"George Mildmay"

There is no epitaph, just two simple names. If it were six or seven years ago, these two names would not only be household names in Haiwei Port, but at least % to % of people would know them, because at that time, George Ferrian was The ruler of Haiwei Port, George Maldme, was the son of whom he had high hopes.

But now, no one will remember their names.

People are forgetful

What's more, it was a disgraceful past for the people of Haiwei Hong Kong, and few people would take the initiative to mention it.

Lillian took out a pack of cigarettes from her handbag, smoked two cigarettes, lit them respectively, and placed them in front of the two tombstones.

George Mildmay made a very serious mistake, which implicated his father. Not long after Ferian was arrested by the navy, he committed suicide in custody. Their bodies were thrown into mass graves and were never buried. When Lillian came back, no traces could be found. There were many wild beasts there, a large group of vultures, and the corpses thrown into the wild would soon be digested by the power of nature.

So, here are just two tombs.

Of course Lillian is not her original name, it is just a code name. It was a code name she randomly gave after she was sent to participate in cihero special training. Just like Gabra, his original name may not be Gabra.

Names are meaningless to intelligence officers. She can be called Lillian, Jasmine, or something else.

As for her original name, she actually forgot it herself, because she was very young when she left home, only ten years old. She only remembered her last name, which was George, and the two graves in front of her, one was that of her father and the other was Her brother.

Lillian didn't have much affection for her father, and even had some hatred, because her father was an extremely patriarchal man. For the sake of his own future, he sold his daughter to the cihero agency. Is such a father worthy of respect?

The reason Lillian came back for revenge was because of the idiot who made a big mistake, Mildmay.

For many people, Mildme's death was not a pity, but for Lillian, Mildme was a good brother. When she was a child, he was the one who stood in front of her and protected her from being beaten by her father. Bullied by other friends.

Therefore, when the World Government wanted to form a special operations team, Lillian took the initiative to stand up. Because she was born in the East China Sea, she had certain advantages and became one of the leaders of the special operations team.

Not long after returning to the East China Sea, Lillian quickly launched her revenge. She came into contact with several organizations that called themselves the "Court of Owls", and then tried them in the same way. However, those people were not killed. Her brother's people, this cannot eliminate her hatred, she is tracking down the group of gangsters who sneaked into Haiwei Port.

As one of the leaders of the special operations team, Lillian was able to mobilize the power of c3 and quickly found out the people who followed Uvloch and assassinated them, namely Saka and Saka three years ago. The truth about the serial murder case that Zoro traced was that five of the people killed were Lillian's enemies.

Originally, this operation was seamless, because since Ufloch joined the navy and went to the headquarters, those who had followed him had received a large amount of money, spread out, and lived their own prosperous lives.

When Lillian planned to kill these people, she interspersed several unrelated characters.

However, something unexpected happened to Gabra when he was carrying out the operation. His identity was recognized and he had to kill more people, including a child. This caused Saka and Sauron to chase Li. A place where Lian hides her identity.

In fact, Lillian noticed Saka and Sauron after they arrived on the island. After that, the murder of Ed was all part of her plan. She blamed Saka and Sauron for Ed's death, and then put the blame on Saka and Sauron. The two of them were buried in the heart of the mountain, and there was no evidence of their death.

The only flaw that appeared was Ciel.

In fact, Lillian would never have thought that there was always an informant of the Arkham Group within C3. While she used C3 to look for clues, she also exposed herself and the entire special operations team to the sight of the Arkham Group.

However, these are completely meaningless to Lillian now. Shortly after boarding the ship, Lillian knew that she was in a huge conspiracy and could no longer escape.

The organization she once trusted has sent out its most elite killers to kill her.

Whether she really betrayed or not, it didn't matter. What mattered was that she had to die.

If she had just received training, she would not be afraid of death, but in a warm and peaceful environment like the East China Sea, she was actually a little scared.

Whether it was because of the north wind in the northern sea, the coldness from the north, or the fear in her heart, Lillian felt her hands tremble a little.

In fact, someone had been eyeing her since she appeared in Ernest Square, and she had been there for a full four hours. This time was enough time for those who were eyeing her to recruit more people. .

Lillian is an elite who has received C0 training. She doesn't need to look back now. She knows that there are many people in the dark. The reason why they didn't shoot is because they want to capture her alive. She knows their plan.

Footsteps sounded and Lillian turned around. Four masked men in white robes surrounded her from four directions.

Their eyes are cold, colder than the north wind.

However, facing the attack of four C0 elites from the Grand Line, Lillian smiled, an extremely bright smile, with some sadness and helplessness like duckweed in the brightness.

She raised her right hand and made a gun gesture, aiming at the man in white robe running from the front.

噗

She exhaled.

砰

The crisp and dull sound of gunfire echoed in the low necropolis.

When Lillian raised her right hand, the C0 elite instinctively turned sideways and made a dodging gesture. With his domineering attitude, he sensed the danger, and a tingling sensation like a thorn in his back made him panic. .

However, his domineering knowledge could only capture an extremely fast stream of light, which was faster than his reaction. It came to him almost the second after the gunshot sounded, and then his body shook violently, The masked head exploded like a watermelon, and the headless body ran seven or eight meters under the influence of inertia before falling to the ground.

When the gunfire sounded, the other three C0 elites who were rushing forward almost instantly saw a light of fire in the distance, four to five hundred meters away, and then looked at each other. There was a man in white robes who used The "Moon Step", one of the six moves, swept in that direction, while the other two men in white robes continued to pounce on Lillian.

Lillian just stood there with no intention of resisting. This made the two men in white robes slow down a little. They looked around cautiously and looked domineering. They found no other abnormalities before coming to Lillian. Next to her, he grabbed her.

At this moment, in the two tombs beside Lillian, countless mud suddenly exploded, and two figures emerged from the mud and attacked the two white-robed men.

trap

Yes, this is a trap

Behind the rocks in the distance, Mangke pushed a special bullet into the barrel of the gun, whistled, and gently stroked the handle of the gun, just like touching the skin of a beloved woman, with an intoxicated expression on his face.

"This is a sniper rifle."

"Did you use a sniper rifle before?" Lanheng Anne, who was fat and ugly, asked sitting next to her.

Munk used the scope on his gun and the crosshair to lock onto the man in white robes who was facing them.

In fact, it was not just the men in white robes who rushed towards them. In order to capture Lillian, Cihero mobilized a lot of people. They all hid in the periphery and set up an encirclement to prevent Lillian from escaping. Who would have thought that they seemed to be surrounded by counterattacks? .

However, for Munk, as a sniper, the first thing he needs to deal with is naturally the person who poses the greatest threat. As for the rest, he can leave it to the woman sitting next to him.

"Compared with the sniper rifle I used before, this one is the difference between a country aunt and a royal princess, and between you and that Lillian. Do you understand?" After Mangke finished speaking, he pulled the trigger.

嘭

When the gun body vibrates, the propellant produces strong force. The alloy bullet, which is specially mixed with seastone powder and copper and synthesized in a special way, passes through the rifled barrel and obtains spiral propulsion, roaring. Then he got out of the gun.

The man in white robe who has been moving forward with "moon steps" has actually been on guard. After all, the scene of his companion being shot in the head is still fresh in people's memory.

Such a terrifying scene was actually caused by a bullet. Even the elites of C0 were a little frightened. The bullet was faster and more powerful, and was more threatening than the guns currently used by the Navy and the World Government.

Therefore, Mangke's shot failed, and the man in white robe suddenly made an upward movement with "shaving".

His domineering attitude and restraint against the sniper who had already exposed his position were obvious.

Mang Ke is not discouraged. After all, there are too many strange abilities and powers in this world. It does not mean that having stronger weapons will make you invincible. For example, if he is asked to snipe Kaido now, he feels that he is going to die. .

"Annie, I leave it to you." Munk picked up the newly developed weapon that he had just obtained from the Osborne Arms Company's laboratory not long ago.

It has a heavier gun body, equipped with a sight polished by the workers of Clockwork Island, and has a front leg that can be fixed and effectively reduce recoil. In order to test the power of this gun, the laboratory gave it to Munk .

However, although the power of the weapon has increased, as Munk described it, the gun has also become more delicate.

In order to prevent it from being destroyed here, Mangke picked it up and moved away.

Lanheng Anne was very dissatisfied with Munk's description. She snorted and made a mental note to him, but still let him go, while she faced the rushing "crawlers". "Crawler" was her comparison. A name for a much smaller person. Of course, this name refers more to Mang Ke.

Then, Annie slapped a "reptile" away.

Mangke retreated to a farther and higher hilltop. Guina was standing on the top of the hill at this time. The hunting north wind rolled up her coat, her face was as cold as ever, making her look like a Like a majestic female general.

"It's really becoming more and more like a captain," Mang Ke praised in his heart. From the beginning, Nanque helped Guina manage the entire team, and now, Guina has gradually matured and started to have her own voice.

The layout this time was basically directed by Guina.

Time makes people grow, and Guina is already an excellent captain.
