[Pirates] Intelligence dealers don't sell cute

"It would be great if this boat could be given to me...(ˉ﹃ˉ)" I touched the completely outrageous boat with advanced equipment, and my saliva was about to flow out.

"... Sister Klauen, you are self-respecting!" Dean coughed, probably because he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Yes." I reluctantly entered the boat, ready to familiarize myself with its operation.

"Clang! The manual is here!"

Then, a note and a thin notebook appeared gorgeously.My friends and I were stunned (=_=).

"Vegapunk, do you dare to be more wicked!"

Having said that, but thanks to this little book (those who think of death × notes are going to apologize!!), I quickly mastered the operation of the boat.

"Dean, we will arrive at Secret Island in a few minutes, but first we need to 'make an agreement', otherwise I will definitely not accept your mission." My tone was not very good, after all, this is a matter of life and death.

"Hmm!" Dean's eyes were shining, and his cheeks were even more rosy. In that thin chest, his little heart must have been beating like a drum.

"First of all, you must obey my orders completely. For example: Even if you see your dad, you must not try to save him without my instructions."

After thinking about it, I nodded.

"Secondly, you must never act recklessly. For example: you can't do stupid things like throwing a pebble at a rock."

nod.

"In the end, no matter what you see, you must not panic and lose your footing."

After thinking about it, I nodded.

I let out a sigh of relief, felt a little relieved, stopped the boat, and prepared to land.

"Eh? Is it already there?" Dean was a little dazed.

"No, we are now in the waters around Secret Island." I carefully put all the equipment into the airtight waterproof bag, turned to Dean and asked, "Can you swim?" "Yes." "Can you swim?" Whistle?" "Yeah."

"That's easy." I smiled, rubbed the protective oil with Dean, put on the special protective clothing and left the cabin.

"Whistle into the air, the louder the better. Remember three shorts, three longs and three shorts. (SOS)"

Not long after, a snow-white, fat and fat [Hindley: Dish, kill Lanjiao! ! ]'s carrier pigeon appeared reluctantly.

"Look at 'home' as you like." I gave the order bluntly, and then jumped into the sea first, swimming towards Secret Island.Dean froze for a moment, and hurried after him.

================================================================================================= =====

Secret Island is surrounded by a thick layer of fog, and the light purple adds a lot of weird atmosphere.Accompanied by the waves coming one after another, there are countless skeletons with flesh and blood remaining, but the heart is missing.Vegapunk told me: This red sea water is highly poisonous.

Although I was mentally prepared, I was still a little terrified.Dean didn't say a word, but followed me closely, almost bumping into me a few times.

Under the purple fog, in the scarlet sea, we dance with the bones.

"Dean, you go ashore from here now. Take off your protective clothing and find a place to hide. Then just walk around and don't hide from others. If you are caught, just obediently grab your hands and don't resist." I told me meticulously road.

"Eh? Sister Klauen, aren't you with me?" He glanced at the astonishing number of skeletons around him uneasily, and asked me in a low voice.

"If you don't want your father to die, just do as I say." I felt that there was an element of "threat" in my tone.

"...Well." Touching the softest part of his heart, he finally defeated his fear.

"Don't worry, I won't harm you." I patted his shoulder and hooked a disc-shaped "Cocklebur No. [-]" tracker to him.

Cocklebur No. [-] was given to me by Vegapunk.In Christie before, the one that Mr. Fox installed on me was "Cocklebur No. [-]", but the one I am using now is a super enhanced version.

"This is?" Through the protective clothing, his voice was a little muffled.

"A combination of a tracker plus a video camera and a tape recorder (...)."

"(☆﹏☆)... so amazing!"

"When you find your father, remember to be with him even if you try your best. Can't be separated!"

"Yeah!" He nodded vigorously.

"Be careful." I smiled.

"Understood." He was nervous and excited like a soldier going to the battlefield for the first time.

Seeing that Dean's figure trembled a little, he quickly disappeared into the mist.At this time, "Cocklebur No. [-]" had transmitted the image and sound of Dean's side to my mind.He used his footprints to describe the true face of Secret Island for me bit by bit.After making sure nothing was missed, I started to do the most important thing...

"Pray your father's alive, Dean."

================================= Dividing line ==================== ==============

"Have you seen my former colleague M`Caesar` Courant? The strongest blade of the former CP9." Vegapunk suddenly stopped working, asked Schindler, and changed his name at the same time.

"Huh?" Schindler's thoughts were forced to shift from the hot bucket of instant noodles to Vegapunk, "Ah, you mean that mad scientist CC... I met him, many years ago, Probably when I was 17."

Vegapunk stared at Schindler's purple eyes that were completely inconsistent with his idle temperament, and remembered CC's long purple hair. After a long silence, he lowered his head and was busy making 'puppets' again.Schindler didn't care too much, he stirred the chewy noodles with a plastic fork, and blew a couple of mouthfuls, but when he was about to eat, Vegapunk spoke again: "A year ago, he defected, Caesar— After creating a horrific gas weapon and destroying Punk Hazard with it."

"What an unlovable soul!! Didn't you see that I was eating noodles!! (‵皮')"

Schindler suppressed his displeasure, picked up the noodles, and was sending them to his mouth...

"Hey, cadre of the Revolutionary Army, I'm talking to you." A certain arrogant young man exploded.

(‵dish′)

Schindler also blew up, but obviously his frizz is more terrifying than Vegapunk...

"Didn't I just talk to you, did I bother you to eat instant noodles... As for the overlord color...QAQ" He pouted, resolutely choosing to immerse himself in science.

"Well, the world is finally quiet."

Schindler ate the instant noodles contentedly.

================================= Dividing line ==================== ==============

"Dean?!" The haggard navy lieutenant with blue stubble on his cheeks unexpectedly saw his precious son on Secret Island thousands of miles away from home.

"Dad!" Dean ignored the shackles on his hands and feet, rushed out and threw himself into the arms of his long-lost father.

It is a pity that the scene of the reunion of father and son did not touch more people.

"Go!" The green-skinned pirates held whips and drove away the navy who were treated like livestock. "It's bad to miss the time!"

"Bingo!" Seeing the clear picture of Dean's father, I snapped my fingers and continued to work.

After three years of living, seeing his son in dreams countless times, it finally became a reality today, but what awaited his son and himself was the cruelest death.

The man stared at his son who was about to catch up with him with mixed feelings.

"Dad, we'll be fine." Dean smiled brightly.

The man was stunned, but received a solid blow from the whip.The boy burst into tears of distress.

"Salvation, does it really exist?"

The son's smile ignited a raging fire in his desperate heart.

"Salvation really exists!"

"Then work hard and survive." I stared at the eyes of Dean's father on the screen, talking to myself and swimming towards the boat.

The daunting giant tree towered in front of him, its thick roots exposed to the air, like a twisted python.Bright red and black, it is the appearance after eating countless human hearts.The meandering meridians on the main trunk are scarlet, and what flows inside is genuine gurgling blood.

"cow!" I looked at the canopy that occupied the entire screen and swears.

"Information dealer," Vegapunk's cold voice came from the earphones, "she has no fault, and she has not committed any crimes! She is just a child being used by others. It is not her who is guilty, but human beings."

"No, she was born with a sin," I retorted, "Her sin is overwhelmingly powerful."

In the earphones, there was a long silence.

The sailors trembled, horror on their weather-beaten faces.Until today, they didn't know the reason why these pirates never killed captives indiscriminately.The poor sacrifices struggled desperately, but they couldn't escape the pursuit of death.The pirates are ready, just waiting for their "god" to come and take delicious offerings.

"Haha, with ZERO, we are gods!" The skins of the cheering pirates became greener, and their berserk aura surged.

"3, 2, 1, start!" I pressed the button of the switch in my hand.

The anesthetic I just installed around the island quickly occupied the entire Secret Island, and the people on the screen fell down one by one. Finally, the screen on my side shook and pointed to the ground.

"Information dealer, take care of her." Vegapunk ordered me in an extremely gentle tone.

"OK!" I gestured to the camera above my head, started the boat, and ran towards Secret Island with full power.

The "she" in Vegapunk's mouth is ZERO on Secret Island.

The so-called ZERO is actually a towering tree.She has some unknown great power.Many years ago, a group of pirates caught in a storm took refuge on Secret Island by chance.No one expected that their landing would bring immeasurable disasters.After many attempts, they found that this strange tree seems to be alive, and it loves to eat human hearts.If someone raises it, then it will provide the owner with its own power, making them several times stronger than those with devil fruit abilities, and ordinary attacks cannot cause damage to them.The most frightening thing is that their lifespan is also extended.So the pirates began to collect "feed" purposefully, and fed the tree every three years.After gaining great power, leave Secret Island to do evil everywhere.This year will be their ninth time feeding ZERO.

Only when they are on Secret Island, their skin will turn green, and when they leave, they are no different from ordinary people.So except for Vegapunk and others, no one knows the truth behind it.

Three years ago, a navy sent to Secret Island disappeared, so the mission to wipe out the pirates came to nothing.

When I set foot on the wet and soft land of Secret Island, I kind of hated this unreliable feeling.According to the information delivered by Xanthium No. [-], I successfully found Dean and the others.After feeding them neutralizing potions one by one, and unshackled them, the small troops sent by Vegapunk have already transported the candies.So I and them non-stop took out several boxes of candy that had been peeled off from the bag, and poured them into the root of ZERO one by one.

"Information dealer, I named her ZERO. Do you know why I chose this name?"

"The devil knows!" I hastily said to him perfunctorily.Bakerpunk told me that the anesthetic is only effective for 40 minutes. After this range, ZERO will wake up, and then everyone within the range of Secret Island will become her food.

(＞﹏＜) I don't want it! !

"Information dealers, you have to be serious." He taught me.

"Yes, yes, I'm working very 'seriously' now!"

"..." There was silence in the earphones for a while, apparently only now did Vegapunk realize that he didn't care about time at all when he spoke just now.

For a while, Dean and the others had already woken up, completely confused about the current situation.

"Come here and help! Hundan!" I was desperate in the face of the candy that was constantly being brought over.Fortunately, the people who survived the catastrophe happily came to work hard.

"Then you might as well just listen to me." A arrogant and unreasonable voice came from the headset.

"Yes, yes." I knew that the consequences of not answering him would be even more disastrous.

"Because ZERO is zero, representing nothing. That is, innocence, innocence, and no evil thoughts. It is the simplest, as pure as a baby. Just like the earliest Caesar."

"In fact, I didn't know her at first, but when I was doing an experiment, the instrument actually received her message. She 'said': 'Please, help me.' But only with me and my experimental team, It's impossible to get her wish."

"But she ate a lot of people." I stopped my hands and found that the meridians on the tree trunk were fading blood little by little. "So, she is still guilty after all."

"You say that because you haven't seen her beauty yet." Beckpunk said indifferently.

Without further ado, I glanced at my watch and picked up my pace.

………………

The so-called crowd gathers firewood with high flames, and we finally landfilled almost two or three tons of candies within 40 minutes.And those scientists have already installed several cameras.

"By the way, doctor, what are you going to do with those pirates?"

"They?" He sneered, "No need to dirty my hands."

"Eh?" I suddenly realized: the pirate is gone!

"See," his faint voice came from the earphones, "They will be the last 'feed' that ZERO will eat."

"How come..." I couldn't accept the piles of green powder, "Could it be that their bodies have been drained by ZERO long ago?"

"If you harm others, you will end up harming yourself." Vegapunk's voice was devoid of any emotion.

The purple mist gradually dissipated, and the sunshine finally landed on Secret Island after 27 years of absence.The crisp birdsong came from the lush forest, and the clear stream sang again.The crimson tide also returned to sea blue, and those wronged souls were finally able to rest in peace.

Today, spring is warm and flowers are blooming.

"Get ready to come back." Vegapunk gave the order.

When he turned around and left, the canopy of the revived ZERO tree became fiery red and dazzling in an instant. Looking closely, it turned out to be countless flowers as small as fingernails.The wind blows, and the red flowers dance among the green leaves with the fragrance.The rustling flowers soon covered the exposed roots, and there was no hideousness and horror in the past.The light green meridians are engraved on her body like some kind of talisman, which will probably protect her forever, and will no longer be eroded by human greed.

Under Kazuki's blossoms were his father and Dean in his arms.There are others who survived.

On the other side, Vegapunk in the submarine stared at the screen in a daze.

================================= Dividing line ==================== ==============

"There is a passenger ship outside the submarine. You can drive back to Sakura Banquet Island." Vegapunk handed me another small book (dirt!).

"Eh? Don't you give me that domineering boat?" I bit the tip of my index finger, quite disappointed.

"It's too dangerous." He resolutely rejected my "unreasonable idea".

"(┬＿┬) Then you should at least pay me an ordinary boat!"

"It's no problem, it's available in passenger ships." He rubbed his chin, "After all, your boat was indirectly destroyed by me, 'Deep Well Ice'."

"(/□) You heard it all...hehe..." My smiling face was extremely stiff, and Schindler, who was eating noodles beside me, laughed out loud.

"I'll send the photo to you for the salary. Don't be eager to ask for the salary, go to the naval station to find Sakalski." Schindler wiped his mouth and threw the No.20 bucket of instant noodles. Into the trash can.

"Do you think I dare!" I lose my appetite when I think of Sakalski's serious face.

"That's right! I almost thought you were a law-abiding citizen." Schindler beat his palms and tore open the outer packaging of a bucket of noodles.

"Then, farewell." Vegapunk waved at me, "It's a pleasure working with you, capable intelligence dealer."

"Hey... don't you think that modifier is weird!" I joked with great mood.

"Ah, by the way, there will be no hidden reefs on the way back, right?" I was very worried.

"No." He smiled, "But I think even if there is you, I can avoid it."

"Anyway, it's best not to have that kind of thing!!" I broke my voice.

………………

The journey went smoothly. In the early morning, we arrived at Yingyan Island.

"Information dealers and navies, I think it's better for you to completely forget everything about Secret Island. Just like its name, let ZERO and Secret Island become a secret that can never be solved."

After dropping anchor at the port of Sakura Banquet Island, I saw this note and the light blue smoke that suddenly appeared in the cabin.

================================= Dividing line ==================== ==============

I woke up suddenly and found that I had just fallen asleep on the bar of the bar.

"Hey, did I miss the deal..." I rubbed my eyes, and then found piles of Baileys and a white feather in my backpack.I then continued to rub my eyes, but Bailey didn't increase at all (...).Boom. QQ

No matter what, I took Bailey and ran home.

On the way home, I saw a black-haired teenager leaning on his father's arms.

"Dad, I want to eat marshmallows."

"Be good, Dean. Now the hawkers are going home to sleep. Dad will buy it for you tomorrow."

I smiled and didn't spoil the warm atmosphere.

The flowing water under the bridge is gurgling without any waves, and the surrounding street lamps are warm and quietly flowing with the creek.The soft wind blows, bringing the petals into the stream.I simply lay on the fence, watching those petals like a small boat float up and down.

The cherry blossoms on Yingyan Island are still in full bloom.Pale purple, like a lingering mist.

The author has something to say: Well, this is the end of the Secret Island incident, and the next step is the new "big jackpot".

Puff, I wrote it for two days, and when I saw the result of the word count, I was very happy!

It seems that there is nothing to say. (Actually, you are lazy and don’t want to talk about it! Hundan!)

Well, good night then. 【Kicked away】
