Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

Ten warships lined up in a row, following the Gulan Tezoro and pouring artillery fire continuously.

The Amber had already left the port for some distance, and everyone could see the fire behind them from a distance.

The stern of the ship, which was already badly damaged, began to collapse under the heavy bombardment of the navy.

The two giant sea turtles tried their best to turn their heads and try to bite off the traction rope fixed to their shells, but they couldn't bite at all.

Zhang Da also threw out several chop waves from a distance, cutting off all the thick metal traction ropes on the turtle's back.

The two giant sea turtles felt a light movement on their bodies and rushed forward a large distance.

They adapted to their unrestrained bodies, made a whine in the direction of the Amber, and both dived into the sea and left.

The speed of the Gulan Tezoro, which lost traction, slowly decreased, and the warship's bombardment became easier.

Rear Admiral Bai Ge commanded his warship to join the fleet, and met the general who was temporarily responsible for overall command:

"Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan, the culprit who defeated Tezoro is the Amber Tour Group. They are now in front of Gulan Tezoro, less than 20 kilometers away from us!"

"Really?" Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan looked back with a cigar in his mouth.

There was a beach chair on the deck behind him, and Qingjia was lying on it, sleeping soundly. He even wore an eye mask because the light of the shelling would affect the quality of his sleep.

Seeing that Aokiji had no reaction, Huoshaoshan had no choice but to answer by himself: "The first task we accept is to sink the Gulan Tezoro, and the secondary task is to pursue the Amber Tour Group."

"But..." Major General Baige wanted to say that Gulan Tezzolo would not run away, and the Amber Tour Group would escape if he did not pursue him.

"Rear Admiral Bai Ge, you are not on the call list for this demon-slaying order, so you can choose for yourself whether to organize your warships into a bombardment team or pursue them alone."

"..." If I dare to pursue it myself, why should I wait for you to come? Major General Bai Ge decisively chose to join the fleet to play target practice.

The commander of CP8 said nothing. He felt that Huo Shaoshan should not dare to fabricate orders. The priority of these two tasks should have been set by the marshal himself, and Wu Laoxing probably also knew about it.

In this way, he would have no place to speak.

The gunfire rumbled non-stop, and the Gulan Tezoro was damaged and collapsed from the stern, and the buildings on the ship were further blown up.

After several hours of shelling, the cabin was flooded with water, and the entire ship slowly sank into the sea.

A huge whirlpool appeared on the sea, and eventually it slowly dissipated.

Compared with the operations to destroy O'Hara and Cheese Island, the bombardment time of this demon-slaying order was not long. After all, it was much easier to sink a large ship than to destroy an island.

When the bombardment ended, the Amber Tour Group had long disappeared.

After confirming that the navy was going to completely sink the Gulan Tezoro, everyone set sail and left here.

Only Tidecaller was left to watch the whole process underwater.

The Navy confirmed that the combat mission was completed, and after a brief repair, set off to pursue the Amber Tour Group.

Three of the warships went to Hourglass Island together, and then sailed separately to search for the three islands according to the three directions of the recording pointer.

The other seven warships, together with Major General Bai Ge, searched in the direction where the Amber tour group left... based on the nearby sea conditions and Huoshaoshan's intuition.

The navy almost uses these two methods when it wants to pursue a specific pirate without sufficient intelligence support.

These two tricks are very useful when dealing with the pirate group that targets the key points of the Grand Line.

But if you are the kind of veteran with many permanent pointers in your hands, it depends on your luck.

It doesn't matter to Aokiji whether he can catch up with the Kohaku Tour Group.

Because of the incident in Totland, pirates in many places were causing trouble, and he hadn't had a good rest for a while. This mission was a good opportunity to take a break.

…

On October 7, 1512 in the Hainan calendar, the atrocious crimes committed by the Amber Tour Group spread all over the world with newspapers.

These include:

Attacked the absolutely neutral country recognized by the World Government and killed King Gilder Tezzolo;

Brutally massacred 8,848 soldiers aboard the Gulen Tezoro;

Destroyed the prosperous city that Tezzolo, his men and citizens took two years to build;

Attacked officials from various countries who went to Gulam Tezoro to participate in the celebration and took away a large amount of property;

And so on.

A lot of various charges were listed, and finally it was stated that the Navy launched a fierce battle with the Amber Tour Group in order to protect the Gulan Tezoro.

The gunfire continued all night, but the criminals were too cunning and finally escaped.

A dozen reward notices were attached to the newspaper.

The captain, Zhang Tatsuya, has a bounty of 1.561 billion beli.

Swordsman and helmsman, Artoria, has a bounty of 2.357 billion beli.

Rui Mengmeng is a swordsman, lookout, cook, and trainee helmsman, with a bounty of 1,088,000,000 beli.

Combatant and navigator, Shark Chili, the bounty is 1,032,000,000 Baileys, only if caught alive.

Swordsman, with a smile, the bounty is 981 million beli.

The sniper, Misaka, has a bounty of 960 million Baileys.

Combatant and ship's doctor, Wendy, has a bounty of 500 million Baileys, only if he is captured alive. If he can be delivered safely, there will be an additional bonus of 500 million Baileys.

Combatant, night watchman, and boatswain, Ye Yan has a bounty of 521.4 million beli.

Combatant and martial arts coach, Jackie Chan, has a bounty of 391.6 million beli.

Scout and torture expert, Perona, has a bounty of 167 million beli.

Scout, Xia Lulu, has a bounty of 11.26 million Baileys.

The pet cat and chef, Tom the Cat, can only be caught alive, and the bounty is negotiable.

There is also a flyer that is different from the reward order. It has photos of Weiwei and Karu on it, and a message for help written below:

If you successfully rescue Princess Vivi and her pet Karu, who were held hostage by the Amber Tour Group, you will receive a reward of 1 billion beli provided by Alabasta.

…

The Amber Travel Group, which once had a friendly relationship with the Navy, has suddenly become a super criminal group with a total bounty of over 10 billion.

After repeatedly confirming the jaw-dropping numbers on the reward order, everyone was shocked.

"This is all a mess of a reward order..." Zhang Daye already knew the crimes mentioned in the news, and he paid more attention to the information on the reward order.

For example, Shark Chili and Wendy can only be caught alive, and Wendy will receive additional rewards after being caught. The most ridiculous thing is of course Tom’s ‘bounty negotiable’.

"I've only heard about salary negotiability and the bounty negotiability!"

Tom held his reward order in both hands and looked over it over and over again. He always felt that the photographer's skills were not good.

Shark Pepper said: "I heard at the Navy Headquarters about the rules for setting bounty amounts. The most important factors are crime, reputation, strength and influence."

"To sum up, it is generally measured according to the 'degree of danger'. In this case, the recent record of the person with a bounty will usually be referenced."

"For example, Misaka. Misaka recently defeated Cracker with a bounty of 860 million, but she didn't do any special evil deeds. Giving her 960 million is still appropriate."

"Ye Yan and Uncle Long are almost in the same situation."

"Boss Tatsuya's situation is a little special. You have recently defeated Snag with a bounty of 600 million beli and Perospero with a bounty of 700 million beli.

This will usually set a bounty of 900 million to 1 billion for you, but considering that you are the captain, they will think that the decision to become an enemy of the World Government was made by you, so they will add an additional 500 million. "

Perona floated across to Zhang Daye and picked out the reward orders for him and Artoria:

"Some people say it's the captain, but after adding in the extra 500 million, it's still not as much as Sister Liya. This is the first time I've heard that the captain's bounty is less than that of the crew, hahahahahaha..."

"There's nothing we can do about it." Zhang Da didn't care about this kind of thing, "Altoria's record is too strong. She's a golden lion, an eagle eye, and an aunt. 2.3 billion is considered a small amount."

Rui Mengmeng raised her hand: "But I don't seem to have defeated any decent opponents recently. Why is it so high at 1 billion?"

Zhang Da also said: "Maybe it's because you and Big Mom had a duel for a long time. Not only did you not get killed, but you also injured her."

Although Zhang Da also got involved and participated in the battle with Kaido, unfortunately the results were not obvious enough, and when he transformed into a master and fought against Big Mom, it was so dark that no one saw it with his own eyes.

Xia Lulu asked: "Then what happened to you and Wendy's limited ability to capture alive, and Wendy's extra bonus?"

Xia Lulu didn't care at all that her bounty was only a little over 10 million, but was more concerned about Wendy's situation.

"Because in addition to considering the 'level of threat', there are occasionally special requirements, such as having secrets that the world government wants to know, or having other meanings."

Shark Chili analyzed, "I think they might be interested in my technology, so they want to capture her alive. As for Wendy..."

Zhang Da also took up the conversation: "The additional price increase is so generous. It is most likely the Celestial Dragon's request. Maybe the female Celestial Dragon's injury has not been cured yet, so she is thinking about Wendy."

"..." Wendy showed a worried expression, "Will many people come to catch me for the bonus?"

Zhang Da also touched her head: "Don't worry, our current bounty amount is scary. There are not many people who have such courage."

Weiwei agreed: "Yes, even if someone comes to arrest you, we will protect you."

"Huhu..." Misaka was inexplicably made to laugh, showing a cute smile, "Weiwei is the hostage, Wendy is the kidnapper, the hostage must protect the kidnapper, Huhu..."

"And last night, Weiwei looked so dumb when she was kidnapped, huh..."

Misaka was so happy that she didn't even care about her oral habit.

Weiwei blushed a little: "Why are you still laughing about this!"

The hostage issue was a countermeasure that everyone had discussed a long time ago. When he saw the naval fleet, Zhang Da called Alabasta and said to Cobra something that almost made his heart stop:

"Hey, I have your daughter in my hands."

"..." Cobra was stunned for a while before he remembered that it was Zhang Tatsuya's voice, and quickly asked what was going on.

"The stupid world government imposed charges on us and sent a naval fleet to encircle and suppress us."

Rui Mengmeng reminded: "Boss, encirclement and suppression seems to mean encirclement and suppression of bad guys."

"Aren't we the bad guys who kidnapped the princess now?"

"But how can a bad person admit that he is a bad person?"

"This is not important." Zhang Daye waved away Rui Mengmeng and continued to say to Kobra,

"Anyway, your daughter is in my hands. If you don't want anything to happen to her, please quickly contact the navy in the name of the king and tell them that we will kill anyone who dares to act rashly."

"Okay, I'll contact the navy right away." Cobra finally understood what Zhang Tatsuya meant. A princess of a country cannot mix with criminals. If they do, they will only be kidnapped.

This is to protect Weiwei's reputation and also reduce harassment from the navy.

"Wait a minute, there is still a process to go through." Zhang Daye said, "I have to let you listen to your daughter's voice to prevent you from playing tricks."

Kobra: "..."

is this necessary?

The microphone has been handed to Weiwei's mouth by Zhang Daye, and Weiwei said with great effort: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, father, help me quickly, wu wu wu."

Ye Yan couldn't help but give instructions on his directing skills: "Emotions, pay attention to your emotions. You don't have any ups and downs at all. Did you learn it from Misaka? At least show a little fear."

Weiwei looked innocent. She was not really kidnapped, so there was no fear at all: "What should we do?"

"At least shed some tears. I remember that when you were talking on the phone, the other party could see your crying expression."

"But I can't cry."

"Use onions. It's hard to find. Just drop a little water on them and you'll be fine."

"I hate water!"

"Be patient, this is for the sake of art, just take it for a while."

At this time, Tom handed over an onion, and Ye Yan praised: "You came at the right time, Tom did a great job!"

Weiwei: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"..." Cobra heard clearly on the other end. Everyone, it's hard for you to convince me that this is a kidnapping.

However, through such a small fragment, Cobra felt that Weiwei must have been very happy during her time in the Amber Tour Group.

After finally cooperating with his daughter in a crying scene, Cobra called the Navy headquarters.

Poruda... click.

Cobra hung up the phone as soon as it rang. He felt that his emotions were a bit out of control and he had to think about it in advance, otherwise he wouldn't be able to laugh out loud while talking to Sengoku on the phone.

After thinking about it, Cobra thought he might as well go to the kitchen to find an onion.

It's a pity that even though Cobra pretends to be the same, it's still unrealistic to hide it from Sengoku.

He had seen Zhang Daye's relationship with Weiwei with his own eyes at the headquarters, and Warring States could understand this after just thinking about it.

However, the Warring States Period did not expose it. You cannot really convict the princess of a big country as a criminal.

This was good, as it not only took care of Kobra's face, but also gave Aoki a reason to paddle.

You can't really fight with the Amber Tour Group, just show it to the world.

Warring States looked at the information about Yixiao on the table with a headache.

Yixiao is a friend of Lieutenant General Kaji, and he has been trying hard to gain this powerful fighting force. Unfortunately, the last time the Five Old Stars invited him to become a Shichibukai, he was offended.

This time, a reward was issued and people were directly pushed to the Amber Tour Group. It was really...

Warring States felt that Zhang Daye must be secretly having fun at the moment.
