“Who are these people?”
Looking at the more than fifty civilians who suddenly appeared on the warship, Domino looked at Vivian in confusion and asked.
"I plan to have them all join the navy and work under me," Vivian said.
"But, will the higher-ups allow so many people to join the navy directly?"
You know, if you want to enter the Navy Headquarters, leaving aside some special circumstances, everyone has to go through layers of investigation and review.
Take Vivian for example. When he was first transferred to Marinford, the navy even saw clearly what color pants he wore as a child.
Fortunately, his previous life had a clean foundation. From childhood to adulthood, he had never done anything illegal, let alone peeping at girls taking a bath (which is not illegal in the pirate world).
The only mistake he made was when Vivian first came here, he was too hungry and chose to take a risk in a barbecue restaurant, and was almost beaten half to death.
But these don't seem to be the point.
"I am a general now, so I can naturally exercise my privileges," he replied.
As a general, it would be too easy to cram more than fifty naval newcomers under his command.
"Admiral Vivian, are we setting off now?" a sailor asked.
"Yes." Vivian nodded, then turned to look at Princess Shirahoshi, who had already been on the deck of the warship, curled up in a ball, but still very conspicuous, and said, "We will try our best to stay in the cabin, you can do whatever you want here."
After saying that, he waved to everyone except the helmsman, signaling them to enter the cabin.
There was no other way. Although the medium-sized naval warship was large, the interior of the cabin was only about eight meters high. If Princess Shirahoshi wanted to enter it, she would have to hunch over and squat the whole time.
What's more, there was no room for her to rest in the cabin, so she could only stay on the deck for the time being.
"If I had known earlier, I would have built a large warship." Ai Li said from the side.
Domino said, "Large warship? We only have 300 to 400 people. It's already great to be able to apply for a medium-sized ship. It would be difficult to get a large warship even with the position of admiral. It would be considered a waste of resources."
Large ships are able to accommodate three to five thousand people. Although the space inside is indeed large enough, it is a bit too extravagant for three hundred people to live on a ship that can accommodate five thousand people.
"I...I'm fine." Bai Xing covered half of his face with his hands, leaving only a pair of big eyes exposed, and said weakly.
Seeing this, everyone stopped talking and most of them went into the cabin as Vivian said, no longer causing any burden to Princess Shirahoshi.
Only Jinbe, because he had met Princess Shirahoshi when she was a child, stayed where he was, so that Shirahoshi wouldn't feel bored.
Vivian was of course happy to see this, thinking that with Jinbe protecting Shirahoshi on the deck, nothing should go wrong, so she just hugged Domino and Airi and went back to the bedroom to take a nap.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Looking out from the glass window, Vivian saw ripples on the sea. Noticing that it was raining, she quickly put on her clothes and went to the deck.
"General Vivian, it looks like it's going to rain heavily."
The helmsman turned his head and looked at Vivian who had just come out of the cabin door.
Vivian nodded, then looked at Bai Xing and the others and said, "It's going to rain heavily soon. Do you want to go into the cabin and hide for a while?"
After that, Shirahoshi and Jinbei looked at each other, and then Jinbei explained: "General Vivian, fishmen and mermaids are creatures that originally live in the sea..."
"Forehead.."
Vivian was stunned when she heard this, and then said awkwardly: "Sorry, I forgot."
After saying this, he was just about to find another topic to ask the two if they were hungry, but who knew that the next second, the ship suddenly began to shake violently again. Before Vivian could run to the side of the ship to check what was going on, he heard the helmsman in front of the ship shouting in panic: "No... It's bad, General Vivian, we've encountered a whirlpool again!"
"What?"
Vivian showed a confused expression.
The last time we encountered the double whirlpool sea when we returned to G1 headquarters from the Red Soil Continent, it was already a very rare thing. This time, when we were going from Kensangmia Island to Mermaid Island, we actually encountered it again
How low is this probability
Vivian frowned when he noticed something was wrong, and then he heard the helmsman say, "Oh no, it's a double vortex current, we're caught in the middle!
”
Vivian: “…”
"Double whirlpool current?"
This was the first time Jinbei had seen this situation, and his expression immediately became extremely serious: "General Vivian, do you need me to call the Sawtooth Whale for help?"
Upon hearing this, Vivian was about to say, "Why don't you call the fish over quickly?" But she immediately stopped the words.
As if he suddenly thought of something, Vivian reached out from his storage ring and took out a cigar and put it between his lips, then he walked to the side of the boat and looked down at the sea.
"What's wrong?" Jinbei asked.
"There seems to be something at the bottom of the sea," he said.
The previous time on the Red Earth Continent, Vivian never activated her Observation Haki from beginning to end because she didn't think much about it.
But this time it was different. Vivian, who felt something was wrong, immediately activated his Observation Haki to the extreme and instantly noticed the movement under the sea.
"You mean?"
"This vortex current is most likely man-made." Vivian said as he blew out a puff of smoke.
"Man-made? A Devil Fruit user?"
Jinbei reacted a moment after he finished speaking, and immediately patted his forehead and said, "I almost forgot that Devil Fruit users cannot stay in the sea."
If it’s not a devil fruit user, then who else could it be
"Do you think that if one's arm strength is sufficient, one can create a whirlpool in the water like the one we have now?" Vivian asked again.
"Use your arm strength to create a vortex?"
After hearing this, Jinbei also began to think.
"Logically speaking, it should be possible..."
Just like the sea current shoulder throw he knew, he grabbed and pulled the sea water with his hands and threw it towards the enemy.
But the key to the problem is that he asked himself that if it were him, he could at most only create a few huge waves in the water. How much strength would it take to create a continuous whirlpool like this, and a double whirlpool at that
There are some unimaginable things in my mind.
But the next second, Vivian patted his shoulder and said directly: "How about you go down and take a look?"
Jinbei:
