Hearing this number, Aokiji's eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't feel too surprised, "Well, it's really not easy for so many people to persevere under the pressure of the sudden increase in pirate reinforcements."
These are just new recruits who have just joined the headquarters for less than a year. Can we only say that they are worthy of being disciples taught by Teacher Zefa himself?
As for those two thousand pirates, where did they come from...
This seems really weird at first glance.
But standing at the height of Aokiji, he didn't even need to go down the mountain himself. He only needed to ask his subordinates to catch a few pirates and interrogate them, and he could easily get the answer——
…
"Those with Gate Fruit abilities."
Facing the question raised by Nuo Xia, Xiliu crushed his cigarette and slowly spit out this answer.
At this moment, in the entire alley, pirates were lying on the ground.
Of the three people who had dealt with these pirates, only Noxia was still full of energy. Xiliu and Rosinandi both sat down against the wall, looking exhausted, but Xiliu still cheered up and explained to Nuoxia.
Two hours before meeting with Nuo Xia, he intercepted and killed a cadre in a west block. Before killing him, he used some interrogation techniques and got out a lot of useful information.
Among them are several questions that Nuo Xia has been puzzled by.
According to the cadre, more than 2,000 of their pirates were all from an organization called the West Sea Underground Alliance.
There are more than a dozen pirate groups under the organization's name, and Capone Beate, who was born out of the Mafia family, is one of the leaders of the organization.
After learning that his stronghold was attacked by the navy, Beate was so anxious that he wished he could rush there in person. However, he was busy fighting with another gang of mafia families and could not get away at all.
In desperation, they had no choice but to pay a huge sum of money and send these semi-"allies" guys to rush over to support.
This group of 2,000 reinforcements consists of four pirate groups. The four captains are all veteran pirates who have been together in the Western Sea for many years and have a close relationship with Beate.
Among them, the captain of the Black Hat Pirates, named "Big Black Hat" Ron, has a bounty of only 28 million beli, which is the lowest among the four captains.
However, this guy is a rare ability user in the world. As early as more than ten years ago, he ate the door fruit of the superhuman system.
When they were about to arrive at Citles Island, in order to avoid the navy's eyes at the port, Mr. Ron proactively proposed to use his fruit power to transfer all the pirates directly to the city, catching the navy off guard.
This idea was unanimously approved by the other three captains, and subsequent facts proved that this assault tactic was indeed quite effective.
Not only were the soldiers of the elite battalion who had the upper hand were stunned, but even Aokiji, who was monitoring the entire island from the top of the mountain, did not react immediately, otherwise he would not have allowed this special situation to occur.
"So, the unmanned ship I encountered at sea before actually belonged to these pirates?"
Nuo Xia shook the black pirate flag in his hand and clicked his tongue, "Big Black Hat... so to speak, it happens to be the ship of Captain Ron, the man with the Gate Fruit ability. Why did he drift there?"
Went that far away?"
"Maybe his men made a mistake when they anchored the ship."
Xi Liu held his cigarette in his mouth, exhaled a large puff of smoke, and said calmly, "You just encountered an unmanned ship. It seems that the other ships should be safe and sound."
"Well, that should be the case." Nuo Xia shrugged, "What an unlucky old man."
——I don’t know if I’m talking about this Mr. Ron, or the entire Pirate Reinforcement Alliance.
It is obvious that although Mr. Beate has been hanging out underground in the West Sea for many years, the construction of his intelligence network is not in place.
otherwise.
If he knew that the navy warship that attacked his stronghold was a group of new recruits from the headquarters who came to take the assessment, he would be so frightened that he would immediately abandon Citles Island and cut off all contacts to prevent others from following suit. How could he do this?
A loss-making trade?
There is nothing to fear from a group of fresh recruits.
But... when students take exams, there must be "teachers" following them to protect and supervise them. This is something you can figure out with your toes.
Now Beate himself has escaped death, but the fate of the group of allies who came to kill him is obviously doomed.
"Is the door fruit..."
Nuo Xia casually threw away the pirate flag and looked thoughtfully.
This was indeed somewhat beyond his expectation.
In fact, according to his original guess, if these pirates who suddenly appeared were really connected to the unmanned ghost ship, it was probably a fat man named Kapenbeki who secretly used the castle fruit to transport the reinforcements in.
Now that I think about it, it turns out that I was a little preconceived.
Although they are both in the West China Sea, the Capone family is not necessarily related to Capone Becky.
And if you calculate carefully, that guy is only in his early twenties now, and he is struggling on the road to become the godfather of the underworld. It is not certain whether he has eaten the fruit or not.
"What do you say now?"
After finishing his thoughts, he looked at Xiliu and Rosinandi, "I'm going to try my luck to see if I can bump into those captains and improve my assessment ranking. What about you, will you come with me?
"
"Eh?"
Monica, who was listening silently on the side, was suddenly startled. She couldn't help but raise her head and said in shock, "Isn't it right, Noxia?"
Although in her opinion, Nuo Xia is indeed very powerful now and has improved a lot compared to the assessment more than a month ago, but it would be too exaggerated to target those pirate captains, right?
This is not something they, recruits who have been in the camp for less than a year, can handle. After all, among the four of them, even Ron, the "big black hat" with the lowest bounty, has a bounty of nearly 30 million beli.
Woolen cloth!
"What nonsense are you asking? Let's go."
What she didn't expect even more was that Xiliu immediately put out the cigarette butt in his hand and stood up, while Rosinandi, who was beside him, also followed the same action without hesitation.
The trio's pace has always been surprisingly consistent.
"Hey, it's boring." Nuo Xia curled her lips with a look of disappointment, "I thought you were too tired to walk, so you were planning to monopolize the credit alone."
"Hey, hey, what the hell do you want?" Xi Liu sneered, "Also monopoly? I'm afraid I'll lose half my life if I'm besieged. No matter how tired I am, I have to follow. Four captains, no matter what, I still have two points.
Bar?"
"I...I think I can also hit two." Rosinandi was not to be outdone.
"Everyone is talking nonsense, I can see cows flying in the sky."
Nuo Xia rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Okay, let's all rely on our abilities when the time comes. Let's make an agreement first. If you really can't hold on anymore, don't hold on. Just give up your position and watch my performance..."
As the three of them said that, they walked towards the alley entrance together. Along the way, you were fighting for each other, and you could faintly hear noisy sounds coming from far away.
"You should be watching my performance, right? These words are intact and will be reflected back to you, Brother Nuo Xia."
"Rebound invalid!"
"Shut up! You two childish ghosts are making so much noise!"
The girls who were ignored in the back couldn't say anything at all, and could only watch the three of them walk away.
"Damn it, these guys have no intention of taking us with them..."
Monica stamped her feet angrily, "Hey, Shia, what should we do? Should we follow them, or should we attack the small groups of pirates who have separated?"
After resting for such a long time, her physical strength had recovered a lot, and she was barely able to fight, but the decision still had to be made by Shia, who was the strongest among them in public.
But for a long time, she didn't hear a response, and suddenly turned her head strangely: "Xia?"
The blue-haired girl who had been staring at a certain figure quietly finally looked away.
"Um?"
She turned her head expressionlessly, looked at Monica, blinked, and a rare doubt finally appeared in her eyes as clear as sea water:
