Pirate: My crew are all emperors?

"Sorry, can you come with us?"

The navy captain suddenly walked up to Rocks and said something like this. Although the people around him didn't know what happened, they subconsciously stayed away from Rocks. No matter what the navy wanted to do with him, it had nothing to do with the masses like him. , the less you know the better.

It really came for me!

Locks frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, I just want to know something from you."

After gently placing Liz on his shoulders back on the ground, Rocks looked at the marines and nodded:

"Okay then, I'll go with you."

"She needs to come along too."

The captain suddenly pointed at Liz, which made the latter subconsciously hide behind Rocks. Rocks also looked puzzled:

"What do you want to do with Liz? At her age, she shouldn't have anything to do with the navy."

"It's just a routine investigation. Please don't embarrass us."

That's what he said, but Rocks had already noticed that these sailors had secretly grasped their weapons. If Rocks made any move, they would probably draw their guns immediately.

Considering that it is still unclear what the current situation is, Rocks does not intend to conflict with these navies.

"I can go with you, but she has to stay with me."

"Why, are you still worried that this girl will be harmed in the naval base?"

This made many navy look bad. In their view, this was a sign of complete distrust in their abilities.

Rocks shook his head:

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this child was born unable to speak. I'm worried that she won't be able to communicate if she stays with you."

The captain then looked at Liz thoughtfully and found that there were no signs of abuse on her body, and there was no fear of Rocks on her face. It seemed that she had not been forced to use drugs to make her mute.

Considering that the above only regarded Rocks as a target of suspicion, the captain did not want to take things too far and had no choice but to say:

"Then come together. If there is no problem after questioning, we will send you back."

After saying that, the sailors gathered around Rocks, seemingly escorting but actually monitoring him. If Rocks was unwilling to leave, they might have to take action directly.

Edward on the boat noticed the situation here, and wanted to rescue Rocks from the encirclement, but found that Rocks secretly shook his head at him, and then suppressed his uneasiness, and watched Rocks and Liz being killed. The navy took them to the base.

"Damn it, was something exposed?"

Edward punched the mast angrily, fearing that something might happen to Rocks and the others.

……

Rocks followed the navy to the inside of their base. When passing by the yard, he could see many young sailors sweating. When he heard the noise coming from here, he took a look.

Rocks smiled and greeted the sailors who were training, which made them stunned for a moment and subconsciously responded. It was not until Rocks walked into the room that a sailor muttered:

"Where did this big shot come from? Why does he look so unfamiliar?"

Rocks's calm demeanor made the accompanying sailors begin to wonder if they had found the wrong person. After all, they had never seen someone communicate so harmoniously with the navy after sinking a warship.

"Major General, we have already arrived."

After taking Rocks to the interrogation room, the accompanying sailor walked to the next room and saluted a middle-aged man who was secretly observing.

The wall here is made of special material. The situation in the interrogation room can be clearly seen through the glass-like wall, but the interrogation room cannot see this room.

"Now let's start the routine questioning."

The middle-aged man said. It seemed that he should be the one with a relatively high status among these people.

"Yes!"

The accompanying navy soldier then returned to the interrogation room, pulled out a chair and motioned for Rocks to sit on it.

Locks frowned and touched the chair lightly. After finding nothing strange, he sat on it, and Liz was held in his arms.

"Sir, could you please tell me your name?"

"Rocks."

"Well, Mr. Locks, please tell me as carefully as possible where you and your ship were and what you were doing at noon three days ago."

The marine took out a pen and a notebook from under the table, apparently intending to record what Rocks wanted to say next.

"Three days ago..."

Locks pretended to think, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to answer this question, because at noon three days ago, it was the time when he destroyed the warship that provoked the trouble!

Beside the middle-aged major general who was observing behind the window, another person suddenly said:

"He was preparing to make up lies."

As soon as he said this, the major general's expression became serious, because the colonel who spoke was best at judging other people's inner thoughts from their micro-expressions and movements, and relied on this skill to expose many prisoners' lies.

But then, the colonel continued:

"He seems...not going to lie anymore."

The two looked towards the interrogation room, and Rocks sighed, and then said:

"Three days ago at noon, my boat and I were sailing normally on the sea, and then... we encountered a robbery."

"Plunder? Are they pirates?" the sailor asked subconsciously.

"The other party's ship did not have the iconic skull and crossbones flag of pirates, so I was unprepared for the first time and allowed them to approach. It wasn't until they boarded my ship and started destroying and looting that I realized it was too late."

As he said that, Locks looked guilty:

"One of my crew members had a conflict with them in order to protect the few funds left on the ship. If he hadn't been a little bit stronger, I'm afraid he would have become a cold corpse by now."

I thought Rocks was the perpetrator, but unexpectedly he was the victim. Although he didn’t know the identities of those who robbed him, the sailor still comforted him:

"Think on the bright side, at least you are still alive, right? Although they were not caught by the navy, we will definitely pay more attention to the security of the nearby waters. We are sorry for this situation."

"It doesn't matter. I don't blame you. After all, the sea is so wide. Even if there is a navy fleet patrolling, it is impossible to catch every criminal. But I believe you will always successfully catch those criminals."

"Of course, because that's our mission!"

"..."

Locks told a lot about the situation. Although there was not a single lie, he concealed some of the most important points, such as the identity of the ship that attacked him, and the final destination of the ship.

Anyway, the sailor in charge of recording seemed to believe Rocks' words, and his expression became extremely emotional, which seemed to be mixed with hatred for the pirates and remorse for not being able to go to sea in time for rescue.

Especially when he saw Rocks' forced smile, he felt even more that he was a strong person, perhaps to prevent the little girl from falling into panic.

"Then what's the relationship between this child and you? It's rare to go to sea with such a child."

"Liz is a little girl I took in when I was passing by a small island..."

Unknowingly, the Marine's question was gradually taken astray. Rocks seemed not to notice this and continued chatting with the Marine.

……

"Major General, we have confirmed that among the ships docked, the deck of one is covered with scars, and it looks as if it has experienced a battle."

"Oh? Are there any traces of gunpowder burns?"

"No, most of those traces are in the center of the deck and in the area near the cabin. It seems that the battle occurred after entering the cabin."

"Is that so..."

The news reported by the navy made the major general deep in thought. Judging from the information obtained, although the man named Rocks encountered a battle, it was obviously a passive defensive battle. Although it seemed that there were only a few people on the ship now, The actual situation may be that many people were sacrificed in the battle, resulting in only a few people left now.

Moreover, warships are equipped with heavy-power cannons. If an ordinary ship wants to attack a warship, it will probably be sunk by two cannons.

"Did you find the wrong one again?"

The major general frowned. After so many days, the murderer was still not found. If this continues, he still doesn't know how to explain to his superiors.
