Navy Headquarters.
"Did you go there yourself and let them escape?"
Warring States was standing behind the desk, with one hand on the table, his brows suppressed, and the expression on his face looked very ugly.
A small part of Qingzhi's clothes was torn. He walked to the side, picked up the teapot on the coffee table and poured a cup of tea. After taking a sip, he sat on the sofa and said slowly.
"Ghost-hand Rhodes, Devil Sheriff Lafitte, Devil's Son Nico Robin, Death Surgeon Trafalgar Law... These four people were not successfully captured."
“…”
Warring States slowly sat back on the chair, rubbed his swollen eyebrows, and said, "Have the rest of the people been solved? I can barely explain it to the government."
Qingzhi personally went out to hunt down the Ghost Hand Pirates, and actually allowed them to escape with four of their most important main crew members. This was undoubtedly an extremely troublesome matter for the Warring States Period.
Unknowingly, the Ghost Hand Pirates have grown to this point!
at the same time.
The World Government has also received the news. While the Five Old Stars were angry, they could not help but be a little shocked. The Ghost Hand Pirates had actually been able to escape the pursuit of the Admiral!
Although this may be due to the fact that the Devil's Triangle is so foggy that it is difficult to sail into a large number of warships, it undoubtedly shows the strength of the Ghost Hand Pirates!
"What should we do? Do we want him to become a Shichibukai
"You won't accept it, right? Besides, doesn't this mean that the government is bowing to a pirate?"
"Damn it! What the hell is Qingzhi doing? He has the highest combat power and can't even deal with the Ghost Hand Pirates..."
The five old stars all had a headache at this time.
For the previous Ghost Hand Pirates, the threat to them was that the impact it caused was too bad, not how terrible the pirate group itself was.
But now, being able to survive under the pursuit of the admiral, the threat of the Ghost Hand Pirates itself has gradually exceeded the threat of those harmful effects!
"You must not let it go."
"Continue to keep an eye on the remnants of the Ghost Hand Pirates, and move out as soon as there is an opportunity. There must not be a fifth 'Yonko' in this sea!"
…
Chambord Islands.
This is the terminus of the first half of the Grand Line. No matter which route, they will eventually converge on this island, and from here as the starting point, they will sail to the new world in the second half.
Because of this, on this beautiful Bubble Islands, there is endless darkness under its surface. The slave trade, the Celestial Dragons, and the vicious pirates who arrived on this island...
Somewhere on the shore.
A pirate ship is docked here, and several coating craftsmen are coating the pirate ship. It seems that it is only about one-tenth complete, and it must have just begun.
On the shore, there were five or six pirates who stayed here to guard the ship. They were sitting or standing, watching the coating craftsmen coating the ship, drinking and chatting.
suddenly.
One of the people facing the sea sat up straight, looked in a certain direction in front of him, rubbed his eyes, and said, "It seems like something is floating over."
"Yeah?"
When several pirates nearby heard this, they all looked in the direction the man was looking.
I saw a black shadow appearing on the sea in that direction. It seemed to be a simple raft made of a large number of wooden boards haphazardly spliced together, and there were several figures on it.
"It seems like he's in trouble. He's really embarrassed, hahaha."
"It already looks like this, so there probably aren't any valuable treasures left."
Several pirates sat on the shore and grinned at each other.
As the raft got closer, the figures on the raft became clearer and clearer. They were four messy victims, with ragged clothes and messy hair.
"I said… "
There was a person who had been staring at the simple raft. Looking at the gradually clear figures on the raft, he suddenly frowned, showing a look of disbelief, and said: "Those people look a bit familiar. What do you think the most?" The one in front.”
"Huh? Familiar?"
A pirate next to him glanced at him strangely, and then subconsciously glanced in the direction of the raft. This glance also stopped his gaze.
Although the figure sitting at the front of the raft looked very embarrassed, the face did make him feel familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
"That's right! I remembered it! That guy seems to be Ghost Hand Ross!"
At this moment, someone finally got excited, remembered something, stood up suddenly, and looked at the raft gradually approaching the shore with a look of shock.
When the people next to him heard this, they all looked shocked.
"Rhodes the Ghost Hand? That great pirate with a bounty of 440 million beli? Are you mistaken? How could such a character become like this!"
"It's a bit unbelievable, but it looks a bit similar! Could it be that they encountered the Neptune type? Or were they beaten like this by the navy?"
Several pirates stood up, looking at the figure on the raft and murmuring in astonishment.
At this moment, one of them suddenly grabbed the firecracker beside him and aimed at the people on the raft, showing a look of nervousness and excitement.
"If it's really that ghost-handed Ross... who can kill a big pirate with a bounty of 400 million, I will be famous all over the world!"
"Hey, are you crazy?!"
The person next to him looked horrified and said to him: "That's a terrifying figure with a bounty of 400 million! Our captain's bounty is only 40 million Baileys!"
"Don't make any noise...let me aim first."
The pirate holding the fire gun closed one eye, made an aiming gesture, showed an evil look, and said: "Even if it is really the ghost hand, I don't know how many days he has been at sea with this look. I'm afraid a stick You can knock it down with just a finger."
When the other people heard this, their expressions of horror softened slightly, and their eyes flickered as they looked at the four motionless figures on the raft who seemed to be dead.
"That's right. They all seem to be starving to death, but it's better to give them a few shots first."
"Yes, yes."
Several people looked at each other, and all showed a hint of a smile. They all raised their muskets and artillery, aiming at the raft that was less than ten meters away from the shore.
There was a bit of excitement and nervousness on their faces. This kind of opportunity was rare. It was simply delivered to their doorsteps, an opportunity for them all to become famous!
boom!
I don't know who it was, but after taking aim, he fired first, and then the rest of the people also opened fire. For a moment, a dense barrage of bullets, together with two shells, flew towards the tattered raft.
Seeing that the four figures on the raft were about to be bombarded with countless bloody holes under the volley of bullets and artillery shells, the first bullet strangely stagnated one meter away from the raft.
Then came the second, third...
Even the fist-sized cannonball silently froze in the air when it invaded a meter away from the raft, as if it had hit an invisible wall.
The air seemed to be still, there was silence, and the atmosphere became extremely strange.
