[One Piece] Almighty staff

At the end of spring, the sea is not very stormy, and a small boat with four people can sail for a long distance smoothly relying on the superb skills of the helmsman.

In the dark night, Beckman reluctantly relied on the flow of ocean currents and monsoons to judge the direction of progress. The wooden pulp was shaken out by him, and the port, which was flashing with lights and feasting, had long been far behind. On his scalp, it made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

The person who caused him to end up like this is also on the boat, unlike him who is trying his best to escape. He is sitting on the stern of the boat with his thick cloak folded up, his palms propped back, and the round toes of his carved leather boots resting on the side of the boat. Swaying gently with the rhythm of the waves, it is a comfortable posture for outing and camping.

He even hummed a song he didn't understand.

Beckman looked sideways at her calmly: "Miss."

"Does it sound good to you?"

The other party turned around and asked him with a smile, his beautiful black eyes were deep and charming.

Beckman's calm and restrained personality played a big role at this time.

"...Yes, it sounds good."

Of course it’s nice to hear. The soft voice is like a pure white and fragrant flower blooming on the sea. The ancient language that I don’t understand supports the light and wonderful rhythm, which makes people let go of their nervous guards and forget their current troubles... Anyway, take a look Situation!The scary guy is chasing after the ass, and accidentally they both end up!Now is not the time to sing!

"Ben Beckman, you can call me Ben or Beckman."

Beckman straddled his legs, turned around, and sat facing the woman, while keeping the paddle in his hand.

"What's your name, miss?"

The woman slowly retracted her stretched straight legs, smoothed the corners of her robe, and replied in a leisurely voice: "Leah, you can call me Leah, Mr. Beckman."

"Okay." He looked at her face squarely and probingly, and from the beautiful but plain face, he could see a temperament that was completely different from that of Karinava.

Like a white dove strayed into the jungle—even though Beckman knows that this metaphor is not accurate, her calm eyes, gentle words, and stable emotions all show that this person is far stronger and harder than the fragile appearance.

"So, the people who are chasing... us, do you have any clues? Miss Leah."

There was a trace of embarrassment on the black-haired Leah's unchanged smiling face, which made Beckman's heart darker and darker.

"World government..." She hesitated to say a few words, and Beckman frowned slightly.

"Honestly speaking, CP9 has a five-point chance," Beckman said with a sinking heart.

Beckman took a slow breath, "Five points may be CP9, and five points?"

Black-haired Leah: "There are still 95 points, which may be CP0 under the command of Tianlongren."

Beckman: Is it actually a [-]-point system? !

Before he had time to ask more questions, a soundless wind blade struck sinisterly along the direction of the sea wind. Beckman quickly turned his head to avoid it. The sneak attack submerged into the water, cutting out a huge hollow that temporarily stagnated.

Beckman pulled out the gun from his waist and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "We can't run away."

As a spy agency directly under the Tianlong people, CP0 directly obeys the orders of the five old stars. Leah, the deputy chief of the archives department of the Navy's logistics department for a long time, can obtain very limited relevant information.However, she knows the nature of this organization and has a general understanding of the strength of the other party.

Beckman does not have her comprehensive grasp of the enemy's information, but he has a wealth of combat experience and a shrewd mind. It is not a good thing to get the name of Tianlongren.

The space in the boat was limited, and the black-haired Leah had nowhere to hide, and quietly shrank in place.In just a few breaths, the two sides fought back and forth several times, the bullets scraped against some kind of metal and buzzed, and several sharp air currents passed around the boat, but her eyes and ears couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and she couldn't tell the difference.

Beckman stepped on the ship's side, as steady and light as a seabird resting for a while, and clicked the bullet gate with both hands: "Why did you offend the Tianlongren? A fugitive slave?"

The black-haired Leah touched the thick oars and tried to push the boat forward slowly: "No, I just did something to overthrow the world government and the Tianlong people."

Beckman: "...I can't tell."

The intervals between the conversations were very short. Beckman would rise from the boat from time to time and disappear for a few seconds. The black-haired Leah moved cautiously, paddling the oars to make the boat move at a slow speed, and was reminded by Beckman to go in the wrong direction from time to time.

Fortunately, she didn't suffer any other sneak attacks or attacks. It didn't require much effort to deal with a scumbag woman. Apparently there was only one person chasing after her, which made both the black-haired Leah and Beckman secretly relieved.

So, their target was probably Sakalski, and she was just a side event.Black-haired Leah guessed so.

With the joint blessing of Sakasky and Ivan the Great, her life in Beihai seems to be peaceful, but the action of spreading scandalous secrets about world politics and the navy has undoubtedly touched the bottom line of the world's two leading institutions, and it is inevitable to cause fear.It's just that she thought that the consequences of the exposure of those secrets would be enough for Shizheng to be busy for a while, so that she could live a more stable life, but she didn't expect the trouble to come so quickly.

After a shocking sound, Beckman plunged into the sudden turbulent waves, quickly popped his head, leaned on the side of the boat and hurriedly reminded her: "Sit still."

After that, he dived into the water and suddenly pushed the boat forward at a high speed. The speed was so fast that the wind became sharp, and the black-haired Leah had to lean down to stabilize her body.

The sudden pursuit left her with no time to prepare. Before she met Beckman, Ivan's army lurking near the red light district and the forces in the Kalinawa neighborhood blocked the attack overtly and covertly, buying her a lot of precious time.Fortunately, she was lucky enough that the preparatory measures she had taken before were not in vain.

Sisser worked on naval intelligence work, and got to know her early; in the world government system, Lu Qi's energy has not yet radiated to a height that can cover her completely, and she did not let him know, and the deeper and more hidden energy in the government is still there. Not until the time of use.Therefore, this operation is mainly due to the great efforts of Dorag, and the manpower of the two islands is limited after all.

During these days, he has never concealed his publicity around Sakaski, and has already attracted the attention of the government's spy agency.Altist has never seen her appearance changed by the fruit, so she can temporarily use the short-term information gap to mislead the world affairs and buy more preparation time for the two islands, the revolutionary army, and Teacher Zefa.

The messenger bird who helped her realize the secret revealing plan was actually a news bird who had traded with Morgons and had not yet taken office. In the organized and disciplined revolutionary army, most of the newsbirds can survive, which is already an excellent retention rate.

Because of these messengers, even if Morgons knew that she was behind the scenes, he would not leak it to the government. This is why the black-haired Leah directly chose his news bird to implement the plan.

With Morgan's journalistic skills, it was not difficult to guess the direction of the mastermind of the revelation. The black-haired Leia needed him to shut up.It is not easy to maintain a neutral position on the surface. If Morgans wants to maintain the current barely balanced situation to ensure the safety of himself and his career, he does not dare to be easily involved in the political struggle between the world government and the navy.

With so many forces watching eagerly, he could only be a bystander and recorder at most, and he could never openly join the fight.

The sound of the wind passed by the ears, and the sound of the surging waves gradually faded away.The black-haired Leah lay on the boat, her cloak wet a large area silently, the black and thick cloth was saturated with liquid, and the red color of blood could not be seen.When I was preparing, I chose the thickest fabric, which has a good warmth retention effect, but now it is slowly becoming cold and heavy when it is attached to the body.

Beckman seemed to be calling her name, but the voice was very vague in her ears.The black-haired Leah gasped, her eyes with dilated pupils widened, trying not to fall asleep.

Altiste's magical fruit ability seems to be failing. At that time, the potential of the body can't wait to ask for a price, and the wound hit on the way to escape hastened the progress of decay.

In the out-of-focus field of vision of black-haired Leah, a distant spot of light broke into it.She couldn't tell whether it was reality or an illusion, and her consciousness suddenly fell into darkness.

--------

Heisa left Yingluo, and met the envoy sent by Wulaoxing on the street in the central area of ​​Kalinawa.

The leader of CP0 stopped in front of him, his long white coat fluttering in the wind, and his voice sounded mechanically indifferent: "General Sakaski, our CP0 was sent by the Five Old Stars to negotiate with you on behalf of the nobles of the world."

What responded to him was Admiral Akainu's suddenly cold expression.Heisha's first reaction was to reach into the inner pocket of his jacket and touch the thin piece of paper.After confirming his bad premonition, the hairs on his back stood up one by one in the next second.

Slowly spread out the palm, the snow-white piece of paper shrunk sharply to the naked eye. Under the gaze of Heisha's dark red pupil shrunk into a pinprick, the life card shrank again, until only the thumb-sized piece of paper stopped changing and showed a The dark brown color of a dead leaf quietly stopped in his hand, as if it had lost its pointing function.

"General Sakaski, in view of the fact that both Marie Gioia and Marin Fondo have been involved in the same urgent scandal recently, which has affected the reputation of the world's nobles, we suggest that the small conflict between the world government and the navy in the North Sea be put aside for now. .”

The four of CP0 were surrounded by the navy and the other largest local armed force, like seagulls trapped in a falcon colony, all dressed in snow-white, especially noble in the colorful impetuousness of the red light district.

Wearing masks, they waited calmly and proudly for the inevitable answer, unable to see clearly the fierce blood-red eyes under the brim of Admiral Akainu's hat.

"You guys, where did you take my woman?"

General Sakalski asked calmly in his usual low, hoarse voice.

The CP0 people paused for a moment, and the person standing in second position answered with a slight dissatisfaction: "About this matter, we also need to know why one of the suspects in the scandal is by your side. But compared to that, we have more Important things should be discussed."

The admiral was silent for a few seconds, then said slowly, "That's right, we need to have a good discussion."

The master of the armed forces of another force, Ivan the Great, arrived at the scene shortly afterwards with a curly-haired child.

He arrived just in time, just in time for the CP0 group of peace messengers who prevented the admiral from killing the five old stars.

"Calm down, Akainu."

Ivan the Great stood in front of him alone, and noticed the sharp fangs protruding from the admiral's lips, and the sharp animal claws protruding from his fingernails, with a few bloody pieces of meat hanging from them.

His Majesty Vladimir wiped off the camouflage on his face casually, faded his gray complexion and furrowed wrinkles, and his serious face showed the depth and ambition of a man in his prime.

"Since the aloof Mary Joya is willing to condescend and come to my barren and barren country to seek cooperation, we might as well listen to what they can give."

The Great Emperor turned around and lowered his eyes to look down at the utterly distressed CP0s.The noble snow-white clothing is stained with scarlet, mixed with the dirt that can be seen everywhere on the street after the snow melts, it is very unseemly.

Sakaski stared coldly at CP0 who was beaten half to death by himself, his pupils were blood red, and his killing intent persisted for a long time.

Suddenly his legs sank, and he looked back, a little fluffy curly head resting on his thigh.Like a lost child, Lili found his parents, ran over and hugged his legs, buried his face, and said in a low voice, "Sakaski, Lili couldn't find Liya."

The chubby chubby was holding another piece of withered life jam in his hand.

Sakasky looked down at him, silent.

He had immediately dispatched all the troops at his disposal and conducted a rigorous search centered on Kalinava.Without communicating with Big Ivan, the warship set sail directly and made every effort to investigate the nearby waters.

It is said that the incident happened not long ago, and he responded in a timely manner, so there should be results soon.

But until the sky turned pale, Sakaski still hadn't received any relevant news.

Emperor Ivan glanced at the depressed little fat man, and said to the admiral who had barely restrained his murderous aura: "It seems that the damage caused to you by the World Government's assassination has not subsided. Such a state of easily going berserk is not suitable for negotiation, Sa Caskey.”

He easily determined the nature of this serious conflict and pinned the hat back on the World Government.

The CP0 leader's facial muscles twitched under the mask and asked, "King Ivan, are you going to cover up the navy and unite against the Tianlong people?"

The emperor didn't change his face: "Ivan didn't belong to the alliance, and he didn't have the obligation to unconditionally support the Tianlong people or the world government. This is my big Ivan's territory, the servant of the Tianlong people, I advise you not to try to take Marie Gioia's power over me."

CP0 bis retorted coldly: "As far as I know, Karinavaswabdei Island does not belong to Ivan."

The emperor said: "It is now."

The sun has risen, the sky is completely bright, and there are no clouds in the sky. It is a rare good weather for many days.

The proud ruler announced lightly: "It starts today."

CP0: "How dare you! Could it be that Ivan really intends to become an enemy of the world?"

The development of this small island at the gate of Ivan is due to the great contribution of the world government and world nobles.Everyone knows who is behind Ivan's civil strife, resource loss, and population drop in the past few years.

In order to push Ivan the Great back on track, Emperor Ivan held his nose and endured many provocations, allowing Kalinava to be entered and exited by various forces like no one.Now it seems that his forbearing concessions seem to make political opponents almost forget Ivan's violent temper.

"The world?" The mature and experienced political and military strategist showed his domineering and highly aggressive side: "Whether it is the world government or the Tianlong people, you yourself have no sense of what kind of situation you are in now and what position you stand on. ?"

He smiled slightly, sneering and mocking: "The Red Earth Continent is far away from the human world. Your master who has regarded himself highly for hundreds of years has been used to underestimating the people for too long."

The power of backlash is terrifying, and these ferocious beasts who have been expelled and oppressed outside the alliance will never let go of any opportunity to devour the fresh wounds of the huge enemy's flesh and blood.

Sakaski picked up the depressed chubby, his fangs and claws had all been retracted, his dark eyes swept towards the CP0 foursome, and he retracted calmly: "Just kidding, I will apologize to you later."

The emperor waved his hand: "There is no need to do those meaningless actions. What I need is that the value of cooperation not be compromised, General Sakalski."

"I see."

After issuing the order to withdraw troops, Sakarsky left Kalinava to Emperor Ivan the Great and turned to leave.

Lili lay on Sakalski's chest with blank eyes.After two steps, Little Curly raised his arm silently, and wiped away the blood spilling from the corner of the general's lips with his cuff.

----------

"Leah? Are you Leah?"

The black-haired Leah struggled to lift her heavy eyelids, and glanced at the man squatting aside.Coincidentally, they are acquaintances.

She swallowed her dry throat, frowning and asking: "...water."

Shanks ran out in a hurry and brought back a cup of fragrant soup: "Come on, drink it!"

The dizzy black-haired Leah took a sip and closed her eyes in pain.

"Leah? Leah?? Are you okay? Hongo! Come on!"

The ship's doctor of the red-haired pirates hurried over with a rice ball in his mouth: "Didn't I tell you not to disturb the patient?"

After a preliminary examination, the ship doctor wondered: "It's all right, the wound is not open. Shanks, what did you do to the patient?"

The young captain was puzzled: "No, I just gave her some soup."

Beckman asked at the door: "Miss Leah, is there something wrong with you?"

The black-haired Leah returned the cup to Shanks, and said softly, "I want to drink water, why give me the marinade."

A sachet is soaked in a one-liter beer mug, and the brown juice exudes a strong aroma of lo mei.

Shanks: "This is the soup dumpling we bought on the last island. You can make several cups with hot water."

The brunette Leah glanced at the glass again.

Wrapped in gauze, the fragrance is pure, it is undoubtedly a marinade bag produced by spice processing in Bahrain.

She slowly said: "This is a marinade bag, one can marinate five catties of meat in a pot."

"Have you always used it to soak in water?"

Ship doctor: "..."

Beckman: "..."

Shanks: "Ahahahahahahaha! So it's for stewed pork! I always thought it was a soup dumpling soaked in water, after all, it tastes delicious!"

"But having said that, why did you become like this, Leah?"

The black-haired Leah tried to move her body, her limbs were limp and weak, and the wound on her abdomen was properly bandaged, and she felt a dull pain at this moment.

"That's a long story. Where am I now?"

The ship doctor stopped her from getting up: "You are on our ship, far away from Ivan. No matter where you want to go, you should lie down and recuperate first."

To put it bluntly, the black-haired Leah looked in a very bad state, and her gray face seemed to be close to death.But since the patient miraculously regained consciousness, it is still possible to save her. Of course, the ship doctor will not increase her psychological pressure.

Shanks: "You look like you're going to die, would you like something to eat?"

Ship doctor: "..."

His captain said this and took out a big rice ball: "Do you eat seafood rice ball? It's delicious!"

The black-haired Leah glanced at it: "That's a porridge bag, which can cook a pot of seafood porridge for five people."

A new product developed by the Ministry of Agriculture of Mining Island last month.The backlog of old grains can be emptied and put into storage to store new varieties and new grains. The cost of common seafood farming on the island is low, and vacuum-packed cooked food is of high quality and low price, and the sales volume is very good.

Of course, it is not impossible to eat immediately after opening the bag, but it is slightly salty.

It was time, Beckman thought, to find a cook on board.
