The infinite wings of the pirate

The Santa Margarita approached the port. A pirate ship and a warship met at the port, but they were all in peace. This made many sailors and merchants at the port look askance.

"That pirate flag...is the Shichibukai!"

"Fang Lang Pirates! That big pirate with a bounty of 2 million!"

Many people exclaimed. Although they could learn about it from the news and newspapers, seeing it with their own eyes was even more frightening.

On the stern deck of the warship, neatly lined up navy soldiers stood upright. In front of the queue, a middle-aged man wearing a brigadier's uniform stepped forward and met Fang Lang, who jumped over the side of the ship and stepped onto the deck of the warship.

"Brigadier General Baker is just a brigadier general. Tsk tsk, what the hell is Warring States doing?" Fang Lang looked at the other party carefully and thought to himself.

Generally speaking, when welcoming the Shichibukai, at least a major general takes action, a lieutenant general is more formal, and a brigadier general... No matter how you look at it, this seems like a show of force, and you look down on him, the new Shichibukai.

"Fang Lang, I received an order from my headquarters and came here to take you to Marineford. Time is tight. Please forgive us for not having time to delay." The brigadier general named Baker said bluntly, looking at Fang Lang with a pair of sharp eyes. , black, the first impression Fang Lang gave him was pitch black, black suit, leather boots, top hat, including the sword he had been holding in his hand, the same black knife outfit.

"Don't have time to delay?" Fang Lang curled up his lips and said sarcastically: "Aren't you going to wait for me before the Warring States Period starts? That's not bad, I don't have to go."

"I think you misunderstood." Baker said coldly: "There are only 20 days. From Alabasta to Marineford, there is only my express warship nearby."

"That's what happened... Humph," Fang Lang didn't believe it too much when he heard his explanation, but was just surprised, "20 days, from Alabasta at the front of the Grand Route to Marineford? Are you kidding me?"

You know, it took Fang Lang a month to get from Whiskey Peak to Alabasta. Although it was because he was not familiar with the climate of the Grand Line, it was enough to show how slow the navigation speed in this world was.

In 20 days, we went directly from the starting point of the Grand Line to Marineford, which is close to the New World. It’s a dream!

"So it's an express warship." Baker took a deep breath to calm down. The superiors sent him to pick up the Shichibukai. It was indeed not a good job. "With mechanical power and sails, we will arrive at the Capital of Seven Waters first. I have the permanent pointer." , and then enter the whirlpool current from there, and follow the current to Marineford, theoretically enough time!"

Theoretically... Fang Lang shook his head and felt speechless about this. Theoretical things were greatly compromised in practice. 20 days was not enough no matter how much he thought about it.

However, he was quite curious about mechanical power and couldn't help but ask: "Does your ship have steam power?"

"How do you know?!" Baker blurted out, his face full of shock, and then suddenly realized that the Navy had never spread this matter. How did Fang Lang know about it?Even within the Navy, this kind of mechanical power has just begun to be tried out in recent years, and the number of express warships is even rarer.

"It must have been made by Baker Punk. I heard that his technology is 500 years ahead of the world." Fang Lang guessed that with 500 years of leadership, it is not difficult to build a steam engine.

"You don't need to know about this. Time is running out. Let's set off immediately." Baker said in a deep voice. He glanced at the Santa Margarita and hesitated for a moment before asking, "What are you going to do over there?"

"Take this ship to the Capital of Seven Waters, and then let me follow you alone."

"This... I told you earlier that we don't have enough time. Taking your ship will make us..." Baker said angrily. This request was too abusive.

"If I don't take it with me, then I won't go either. I don't want to leave my crew here." Fang Lang said with a smile.

Give him power?Just kidding, no matter whose intention it is, Fang Lang is not the kind of idiot who slaps me on the left cheek and then obediently sticks out the right cheek.

"...Okay!" Brigadier General Baker glared at Fang Lang and gritted his teeth and agreed.The Bullfight Lieutenant General had specially asked him to pick up this person before, and also said that he would destroy the opponent's prestige, but this job is not that easy, and no one in the Shichibukai is easy to mess with. 186中文网.186zw.

……

Two chains as thick as arms extend from the stern of the express warship, connecting the front end of the Santa Margarita. This is equivalent to the warship pulling a pirate ship.

In order to disgust each other, Fang Lang also deliberately put up all the sails of the Santa Margarita, which greatly reduced the sailing speed of the two ships.

However, even if this is the case, it is faster than the Santa Margarita sailing at full speed.

"As expected of a mechanical ship, this speed is more than 15 knots..." Fang Lang frowned secretly. If the navy popularizes this thing, it will be a disaster for pirates.

Generally speaking, pirate ships are sailboats, and their speed can only be around 7 or 8 knots at most. With the speed of this kind of mechanical warship, if you want to chase a sailboat, it will be difficult for the opponent to get rid of it.

"Fang Lang! Why don't you raise your sail?"

Standing on the deck of the warship and walking around casually, Fang Lang happened to see the angry Brigadier General Baker coming towards him.

"Oh, if you didn't tell me earlier, I would have thought your warships were awesome." Fang Lang curled his lips and said lightly.

Baker wanted to cry. Why is this person so naive?This kind of child's play was actually used on him, and not to mention, he really couldn't refute it.

"Go and raise the sail..." Baker sighed, suddenly feeling powerless.

"Oh."

"You go!"

"My legs and feet are not very agile. I was scared by you just now. I'm still trembling now." Fang Lang didn't move a step, his face full of innocence.

"Brother, please let me beg you." Baker burst into tears.

If Fang Lang is not delivered within the stipulated time, the superiors will not see what Fang Lang did. They will only see that Brigadier General Baker failed to do things well. This will not reflect well on him.

For example, "Look at that man, he can't even handle this little thing", "Let's just withdraw his express. It's outrageous for a commodore to use this new type of warship"...etc., etc., maybe he will have to Take punishment.

Fang Lang had figured out the doorway inside. Hearing this, he muttered: "I wish you had surrendered earlier, you idiot." After snorting, he slowly turned around.

"...What is this!" Brigadier General Baker was about to cry without tears. He was tricked by Lieutenant Bullfighting. What a bullshit country pirate. This man is so smart!

Gritting his teeth, he was not going to report this matter. The lieutenant general wanted to deal with Fang Lang, so let him deal with it by himself. For a small person like him, it was better to stand aside and watch the show. If he was really involved, he would die. Don't know how to die.

Amid Commodore Baker's resentful expectations, the two ships finally saw the magnificent Seven Waters City after sailing for eighteen days.

This is an island where the shipbuilding industry is popular, and it is quite similar to Fox Island in the East China Sea.
