The person who appeared in front of Nuo Xia was the ghost spider that he had beaten up before.
This elite battalion senior who had just been transferred back to the headquarters a few months ago was transferred to the G2 branch last week and was put under Kizaru's command before he was even warmed up by his time in Marinvando.
The first mission he received was when he bumped into Nuo Xia. When he arrived, he didn't even have time to draw his sword. He was stunned to see the pirate captain who offered a bounty of 35 million beli. He was killed with a sword in his hand.
.
And he didn't do anything, he could only follow behind and clear out the miscellaneous soldiers...
This made Ghost Spider feel depressed for a while, wondering if he and this boy Nuo Xia were in conflict with each other, and would have bad luck every time he met him.
"That's right."
He held a cigar in his mouth and said dullly:
"Just now, the phone bug on the ship received an emergency distress signal from a merchant ship, saying that it was being robbed by pirates. I hope the nearby navy can go over to help as soon as possible. Do you think we should go over and take a look?"
"Oh, I see, I thought you wanted to spar with me again."
"..." Ghost Spider's eyelids twitched, "Do you think I look that much like a masochist?"
"A bit." Nuoxia said, "As for whether we should go there... Hey, let me tell you, we are the navy. How can we ignore such a distress call?"
"Because the distress signal may not be true. The pirates on the Grand Line are no better than those in the world. They are bold and capable of doing anything."
Ghost Spider slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, "In the sea area near the G2 branch, there have been several cases of pirates pretending to be merchant ships and actively attracting the navy to hunt them."
"And the signal location this time is also very strange. It comes from an extremely remote sea area. It stands to reason that few merchant ships will pass by there this season..."
"So you are worried that this is a scam, and if we rush over, we will be ambushed and surrounded by pirates?"
"Well, it's very possible."
Ghost Spider reminded in a deep voice, "The pirates who dare to act like this are very confident in their own strength. We only have one ship and not many troops. If we encounter that kind of monster with a bounty of nearly 100 million, it will be in danger..."
"Is there such a good thing?"
Nuo Xia's eyes lit up and he became energetic, "Quick, quick, quick, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get the boat over!"
Ghost Spider:?
…………
A few minutes later.
The warship still turned around and rushed to the location mentioned in the distress signal.
Ghost Spider was actually a little hesitant at first.
But when the adjutant silently leaned into his ear and told the newly arrived officer about Nuo Xia's recent glorious deeds.
His eyes suddenly widened in shock, and his jaw almost dislocated.
This kid...
We haven't seen each other for only a few months, but our strength has already grown to this extent?
Even the Eagle-Eyed Messiah, who had a bounty of 93 million beli, fell into his hands. No wonder he looks confident and fearless.
After coming back to his senses, Ghost Spider immediately made a decision and decided to set off at full speed. It was okay that he had no chance to take action in the previous battle. This time, he had to dig out some meat from Nuo Xia's teeth.
No matter how bad it is, you still have to drink a big mouthful of broth!
………
However.
Neither Ghost Spider nor Nuo Xia expected it.
The one who sent out the distress signal was really just a merchant ship, and I didn't see any traps set by pirates at all.
A dilapidated and looted merchant ship docked in the natural harbor of a small island.
A thin, bald businessman was lying on the deck with his eyes closed, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. There was a blond girl beside him, leaning on him, as if sobbing softly.
There were several men around, either guards or clerks, all with some injuries on their bodies. They were half lying and half sitting against the railings, their eyes unfocused.
The navy stepped onto the ship and couldn't bear to see this bleak scene.
"It's too late..."
The ghost spider also sighed, walked forward, and spoke in a low voice to the silver-haired girl: "Please forgive me, we will help you with your father's body..."
"Eh?"
The blond girl raised her head and looked at him strangely, "My dad just passed out. Who said he was dead?"
"..."
Then you cried so sadly on top of him?
Ghost Spider was silent for a few seconds, "Were you knocked unconscious by pirates?"
"No, when I saw that all the goods on the ship were robbed and not a penny was left, I fainted from anger."
The blonde girl blinked innocently, and then Ghost Spider saw clearly that there were no tears in her eyes, and her expression suddenly froze.
Was it an illusion just now? In fact, the girl was sleepy from waiting just now and was lying there to sleep and rest?
He looked at this beautiful girl who was still childish and was only fourteen or fifteen years old at most. He took a deep breath, suppressed the desire to complain in his heart, and continued to ask about serious matters:
"Do you know the specific identities of the pirates who robbed you? Which direction did they run to? If they haven't gone far, maybe we can help you get them back."
"Half an hour ago, I ran towards Shengting Island."
The blond girl curled her lips, "But I advise you to give up. If you chase her, you will die."
"Why?" Ghost Spider looked at her suspiciously.
"That group of pirates is very powerful, the Max Pirates. Have you heard of it?"
The blond girl teased: "Captain Crazy Transparent Max has a bounty of 85 million Baileys, and he has a lot of famous cadres under his command."
"As soon as I recognized his identity before, I knew I couldn't resist, so I asked my father to surrender directly. But he didn't listen, and many people on the ship were beaten in vain."
"And you, it seems, are just a colonel from the G2 branch. What's the difference between dealing with a guy like this and doing it for free?"
These words did not give any face, and Ghost Spider's eyes twitched, but he had to admit that at the moment, he seemed to be no match for a pirate of this level...
Just know it is so.
The blonde girl glanced at the awkward-looking Ghost Spider, yawned out of boredom, and was too lazy to talk to him anymore. She was about to continue sleeping on her father's body.
Then I heard a strange and gentle voice coming from behind the ghost spider:
"Having said that, as a navy, in order to defend the interests of the people, we have to give it a try, right?"
The blond girl looked around, and what caught her eye was Nuo Xia's handsome face with a slight smile. She froze immediately, her cheeks turned red, and it took her a long time to stammer out two words:
"You, who are you..."
"Noxia, the navy from our headquarters is barely strong enough."
Nuo Xia briefly introduced himself, shrugged and said:
"In short, feel free to leave the Max Pirates to us. If it's convenient, you can give us a list of the goods that were looted on the ship, and we will try our best to help recover them."
"Hmm... um, okay, okay..."
The lazy and casual look of the blonde girl just now disappeared instantly, and instead she looked slightly embarrassed. She lowered her head in a panic, rummaged through the pockets of her father's body, and occasionally glanced at Nuo Xia with a blushing face.
.
Nuo Xia had long been accustomed to this kind of situation, so she was in a state of facial paralysis the whole time, turning a blind eye to the blonde girl's gaze.
The ghost spider on the side looked at him with a strange expression.
They are both in the navy, so they are obviously more attractive as men, right? What is wrong with this girl? Why is there such a big difference in treatment before and after...
"Yes!"
After a while, the blond girl finally found the cargo list. When she raised her head, the look on her face became much more natural.
"No, they are all here, but it doesn't matter whether we chase them back or not. The lives of your navy are more important. If you can't beat them, just run away. Just don't get hurt by those pirates."
Why do these words come out of your mouth so unpleasantly? Ghost Spider took a dull puff of cigarette.
"Well, don't worry."
Nuo Xia nodded and reached out to take the goods list, but the moment their fingertips touched, the blond girl suddenly grabbed his wrist with force.
He was slightly startled and glanced at the blonde girl in confusion, but he happened to see her gently lick the corner of her mouth very quickly, then raised her head and laughed:
"Also, my name is Domino. No matter whether we see each other again in the future, you must remember my name~"

On the 32nd day after arriving at the g6 branch, it was sunny.
I failed to quit smoking and smoked five and a half packs again today.
