The Pirate: Throne of Bones

Bulu…Bulu…Bulu…

night.

New World, Navy G1 Branch Base.

The rest room of the base's top officer, Vice Admiral "Akainu" Sakaski of the Navy Headquarters.

Just when Sakaski was sleeping soundly, the personal phone placed by Sakaski's pillow suddenly rang.

Kacha~

In a daze, Sakaski answered the phone.

However, just one second after the call was connected, the other party hung up before Sakaski could speak.

【? ? ? 】

Thinking back to the image the phone bug had transformed into the moment it was connected, several question marks appeared above Sakaski's head.

[At this point in time, Verless should be flying in the Champaody Islands, right? 】

【Why are you calling me? 】

The doubts in my mind disappeared in a flash.

Just when Sakaski was about to go back to sleep, the phone next to his pillow rang again.

Bulu…Bulu…Bulu…

Kacha~

After answering the call, Villeless on the other side still didn't make any sound.

Then, when Sakaski was about to ask Villes what happened, Villes hung up the phone again.

"..."

People can't, at least they shouldn't.

Two consecutive phone calls made Sakaski realize something was wrong.

But considering that Villes should be in the Shampoo Islands now, Sakaski subconsciously regarded the two ringing bugs as Villes's prank.

After all, making phone calls in the middle of the night to ask people to get up and go to the bathroom was something that Villes had done a lot when he was still working as a bounty hunter in the North Sea.

And then…

The phone next to Sakaski's pillow rang again!

Bulu…Bulu…Bulu…

Kacha~

Just like the previous two times, after the call was answered, Villes on the opposite side still said nothing and hung up the call after a few seconds.

The phone rang three times in a row, causing Sakaski to wake up completely.

Then, Sakaski was seen sitting cross-legged on the bed, holding the phone in front of him.

Bulu…Bulu…Bulu…

Kacha~

Sure enough, as Sakaski expected, his personal phone rang again.

After picking up the phone, Villes on the other side continued to say nothing, and then hung up the phone after a few seconds.

In this way, Sakaski, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, and Villes, who had the impression that he was far away in the Chambord Islands, played the game of "everyone is a wooden person".

Bulu…Bulu…Bulu…

Kacha~

Connect, hang up.

Connect again and hang up again.

After going back and forth countless times, Sakaski's personal phone stopped ringing until it was already bright outside.

"Yawn~"

Seeing that his personal phone stopped ringing, Sakaski got up and got out of bed, stretched himself out while looking at the sky outside the window.

"Villes is so boring, a phone bug can play all night."

Sakaski, who had been tormented by his personal phone bug all night, had complained about Villes countless times.

Moreover, in addition to Sakaski, those who were mentally disturbed by the wave of phone bugs bombarded by Villes were also Sakaski's personal phone bugs.

Sakaski is very powerful, he just doesn't sleep for one night and can refresh himself by washing his face.

谷腱

But the phone bug thing doesn’t work.

"Poor little fellow."

Looking at his private phone worm who had already hung up his sleep bubble, Sakaski shook his head helplessly.

After casually placing the sleeping personal phone bug in the drawer, Sakaski turned and left the room, heading to his office at the Navy's G1 branch base.

Although the power in Sakaski's hands is no different from that of a naval admiral, Sakaski, who holds the rank of lieutenant general at the Navy Headquarters, cannot fish like a real admiral.

Therefore, while stationed at the Navy G1 branch base, Sakaski slept later than a dog and woke up earlier than a chicken.

Abide by naval duties, never be late or leave early, take the lead when fighting, and stand alone when retreating...

It is our duty to build the glory of the Navy!

Looking at all the navies on this sea, from the Grand Line to the east, west, north and south, one by one, no navy can match Sakaski in the word "navy".

The character of "being humble and not tampering with time" can be considered to be played to the extreme by Sakaski.

Moreover, no matter whether Sakaski is creating a character or not, no one can find fault with Sakaski after more than ten years of consistent performance.

Navy G1 branch base, base commander's office.

Sakaski, who came to the office early, made himself a cup of coffee and sat behind his desk.

"Villes is a scam~"

Leaning back on the comfortable chair and being dazed for a while, Sakaski couldn't help but complain about Villes again.

From last night until now, Sakaski has not figured out what Villes is going to do.

Looking for yourself?

But last night Villeless called himself so many times, but he didn't say a word.

Does it look like you have something to do with you?

Bullshit!

Ton~ton~ton~ton~ton~

After drinking all the coffee in his cup, Sakaski stood up from his chair, preparing to open the safe and continue processing the documents that required his approval.

Sakaski, who was squatting in front of the safe and about to enter the safe password, suddenly froze.

and many more!

password?

Thinking of the word "password", Sakaski closed his eyes and recalled the process of his personal phone ringing repeatedly and being answered and hung up last night.

If based on the time after the phone bug was answered by himself and before being hung up by Villes...

Then...

"Short, short, short..."

"If I guessed correctly, this one should be DiDiDi."

"It means..."

"S!"

When the letter "S" appeared in Sakaski's mind, Sakaski, who was squatting in front of the safe, stood up instantly and returned to his desk.

Sakaski sat back in his chair, tapping his right hand slowly on the desk surface, and placed his left hand under the desk.

On the palm of Sakaski's open left hand, an "S" letter composed of magma has appeared.

In the following time, Sakaski followed a "code book" that only he, Villes and a few other friends knew, and translated the message that Villes had sent through the phone bug last night.

A few minutes later, Sakaski looked at the message made entirely of magma on the palm of his left hand, lowering his head with an extremely serious expression.

Morse Code!

[Shiji is preparing to attack the ironclad]

A simple message, but it made Sakaski's heart confused.

"Shiji is planning to take action against the armored ships in G1 base?"

"This is not a problem."

"As long as I'm here, Shiji won't have to leave if he dares to come."

"But what really matters to me is..."

"Villes..."

"what are you going to do!"
