Magellan hesitated for a moment, and finally waved his hand sadly, declined the cigar, and turned his eyes to look at the new prisoners who were being forcibly disinfected by the jailers.
"Katakuri has a bounty of 1 billion 57 million beli, and Smoothie has a bounty of 932 million beli..."
Magellan clicked his tongue twice, "They are all incredible monsters. The cumulative reward for these criminals must be five to six billion beli, right?"
"I just did the math, it's more than that."
Yu Zhiliu weighed a report document in his hand and said calmly, "The accurate number should be 8.65 billion Baileys."
"Eighty six billion..."
Magellan was in a daze for a moment.
Even though the news that shocked the world had happened last week, he and Xiliu had read the newspaper back and forth many times.
But when I heard this huge astronomical figure, I was still shocked.
"After all, we raided the home of a sea emperor."
Yuzhiliu exhaled a puff of smoke and said calmly, "If Big Mom hadn't died, there would have been more than 10 billion Baileys in total..."
He also had a rather complicated mood, just like when he saw the newspaper last week, he was filled with pride, wonder, and a little bit of disappointment.
Eighty-six billion Baileys...
He vaguely remembers that when he and Nuo Xia's batch of new recruits were interning at the G2 branch, the assessment criteria were based on the total number of pirates killed.
And in the first month, Nuoxia handed over an astonishing answer of 860 million beli, right?
One person's assessment results far exceeded the sum of all the others, causing a sensation. Looking at the entire history of the elite camp, there is no other person who can reach such an exaggerated level.
Nearly ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the total bounty on pirates caught in one of Nuo Xia's random actions has exceeded ten times the total accumulated in one month that year.
And himself...
"Nothing to lose, right?"
Magellan seemed to have read through the thoughts of his long-time partner and patted him on the shoulder, "That's Mr. Nosha! I know that you have been practicing diligently over the years even in a place like this, trying your best to catch up in his footsteps.
, but after all..."
He paused and said with a smile, "There is always a gap between us humans and gods!"
In your mind, is that guy almost as good as a god...
Yu Zhiliu couldn't help but laugh. Then he thought about it, and it seemed like the same thing.
Being able to defeat the Three Emperors in just a few hours under heavy siege with an outnumbered enemy, this is something that can no longer be described by words such as inhuman and monster.
There is only "God", a god who was born in the navy, and will soon stand at the top of the world.
"I feel like he is about to return to his base."
Xi Liu dusted off the cigarette ashes and suddenly said this without making any sense.
"Um?"
Magellan was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized something. He turned his head and stared at Xi Liu with a complicated expression, "Are you... ready to go back?"
"Yes, I have been here for six or seven years, and it's time to go back."
Shiliu slowly pulled out the demon sword Murasame, looked at his beloved sword, and said calmly, "As I told you back then, resigning, leaving, and traveling around the world are all within that guy's plan. Wait.
He has officially returned to the headquarters, and there will definitely be some big moves soon after."
"Mr. Noxia, have you been contacted during this time?"
"without."
Xi Liu shook his head slightly and slowly wiped the demon knife that had not seen blood for a long time, "I don't know the specific plan, but as a brother, I have to do my part."
"..."
Magellan was silent for a long time and did not persuade anyone. He just said with some worry, "With your current strength, you can indeed help a lot, but after all, you have been out of the navy for several years, and you committed a crime and left the military. Even if you transfer
When you return to headquarters, I guess I won't be able to directly offer you the position of lieutenant general, and you will have to rise step by step from major general."
"That kind of thing doesn't matter."
Xiliu took back the demon sword and took another hard puff on his cigar, "As long as you have the strength."
Xi Liu is quite confident about her own strength.
He is probably one level better than all the lieutenant generals in the headquarters, including those veteran lieutenant generals. If they had been in the navy, they might now be qualified to compete for general candidates.
Of course, there are two exceptions.
"OK."
Magellan nodded slightly, "This has been your obsession all along. I will not stop you. I will start helping you prepare the relevant procedures tonight, so that when Mr. Noxia returns, you can immediately report to Marineland."
"Well, that's troublesome."
Xi Liu nodded, "Given our relationship, I won't say thank you. Don't worry, I will be a member of the Impel City until that day comes, and I will do my best to stand on the last guard."
"Just like now." He glanced at Magellan's unnaturally rubbing legs, "The disinfection process has been completed. Leave the rest to me. If you can't hold it in any longer, go ahead. I'm afraid you might...
…”
"It's settled, then I'll leave it to you!"
Magellan agreed decisively, and then, under Shiliu's dumbfounded gaze, he suddenly turned around and rushed towards the end of the corridor. He stopped suddenly at the door of the toilet, kicked open the door and escaped into the room without a trace.
The movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, silky and coherent.
"..."
Xi Liu withdrew his gaze speechlessly, turned around and ordered in a deep voice to a group of jailers who were waiting nearby, "Escort the new prisoners into the prison in batches. Those who are going to be taken to underground level 6 will be led by me personally."
"Yes! Lord Warden!"
…
The elevator descended rapidly, and the scenes of each level of hell flashed through one by one, and soon it reached the bottom level.
Underground level.6, infinite hell.
"Go, go! Hurry up, don't dawdle!"
"Where are you looking? Your prison is over here!"
The jailers kicked and cursed all the way as they escorted several top leaders of the Charlotte family into vacant cells on this floor.
Ame Zhiliu's eyes flashed slightly, and after the jailers completed their work, the two most important criminals left by him personally went to the end of the corridor.
Katakuri and Smoothie.
The latter's eyes were dull, his steps were mechanical, and he was like a walking corpse. The former was in slightly better condition, but his breath was also sluggish. He kept his head lowered and was silent. It was impossible to compare him with the high-spirited Charlotte.
The highest cadres of the family are connected.
"Go in. Since you two are brothers and sisters, we'll just keep them together. It's just a forced companionship."
Yu Zhiliu lit another cigar and said calmly.
With a "clang", the iron fence door opened, and Yuzhiliu was about to lock the two of them to the shackles on the opposite wall when he suddenly heard a burst of crazy and sharp laughter coming from the next door:
"Fufufufufufu, someone comes in again! Someone comes in again!"
"Two unlucky guys, one male and one female, with mouths full of sharp teeth. They are so ugly! So ugly! Fufufufufu!"
"Unlucky guy! Ugly monster! Eat my boogers and attack!"
The sticky yellow-brown mass shot out at a slow speed. Katakuri subconsciously turned his head and it flashed past him. A trace of sullenness flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly turned to look into the cage next door.
His pupils suddenly shrank slightly.
As soon as I saw it, the wall opposite was covered with the word "正" one after another. It was obviously written by biting off fingers and using blood stains. The whole wall was covered with clumps of blood stains. The blood stains were mottled and blurry.
Somewhat creepy.
A guy in tattered prison clothes and dirty sunglasses was dancing there. From his face to his neck, from his arms to his thighs, the exposed skin had long been festered, and his whole body exuded a stench, making him almost unrecognizable.
Seeing him looking at them in annoyance, they didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, they grinned at them, showing a mouth full of yellow and black rotten teeth.
"Can I change rooms?"
Katakuri took a deep breath, and was too lazy to argue with the waiter. He turned to Shiliu and said, "I don't really want to be a neighbor with a psychopath."
“A very reasonable proposal.”
Shiliu agreed deeply and nodded with a smile. Just when Katakuri thought that the other party had agreed, the former grinned, showing his neat and clean white teeth:
"Unfortunately, this is Impel Down City, and a prisoner is not qualified to make demands in front of me."
"Get in!"
Kicking hard with his right foot, Katakuri and the two staggered a few steps and almost fell. Shiru skillfully and roughly put on all the shackles on the two, closed the iron door with a bang, and turned around and left expressionlessly.
.
In the quiet and dark corridor, the footsteps gradually faded away, leaving only the madman next door, still babbling, crying, laughing and shouting...
…………
new world.
In a certain film, Nuo Xia is holding her chin, staring at the phone in her hand that she just finished talking on, thoughtfully.
At this time, more than ten days had passed since the day he showed up at the tea party.
That night after Big Mom died, he imprisoned the entire Cake Island with a thunder cage, stunned everyone on the island with his overlord color, and immediately contacted the nearest G5 branch and asked them to send warships to take over
All seas.
The Wan Kingdom established by bigmom is huge, with a population of hundreds of thousands. The work of screening criminals is more complicated than that in the East China Sea. Nuo Xia is too lazy to waste too much time on this kind of matter. After the people from the G5 branch arrive,
I left Cake Island directly.
Talk about it.
The previous base commander of the g5 branch was Aokihiko, who has been transferred back to the headquarters as a general. The current base commander is naturally taken over by the deputy base commander, Aokihiko's wife, Lieutenant General Jasmine.
The two hadn't seen each other for several years since their separation due to the Bubble Queen Sophia incident. They couldn't help but chat for a while, and each left their own contact numbers after leaving.
Just now, Jasmine called and told him that all the remnants of the Charlotte family have been dealt with, and all the surviving senior officials have been imprisoned in Impel Down City. What awaits them is either execution in the future, or never.
Daily life in prison.
In addition, Jasmine also revealed.
Due to the huge impact of the battle on Cake Island, the order of the entire New World is in chaos. The headquarters has transferred a large number of troops to the two branches G1 and G5 to fully cooperate with his next actions, and is likely to send troops to the rest of the New World at the same time.
The pirate forces launched a cleanup operation.
Nuo Xia was not very concerned about this, but the headquarters' response was so timely, which saved him some energy. There were too many pirate forces in the new world, and he did not have the energy to sweep through them one by one like he had done in previous years.
.
Right now, he has only one goal.
That is the Beast Pirates and their captain, Kaido.
"It will arrive in about three days..."
Putting away the phone bug, Nosha continued on his way. In his hand was the permanent pointer he had received from the headquarters, and his destination was the isolated country of Wano.
Um?
At this moment, Nuo Xia suddenly turned his head and looked somewhere in the southeast as if he had something in his heart.
Tens of kilometers away, vaguely visible on the distant sea horizon, a giant hurricane with a height of several hundred meters arose at some point, raging across the sea.
Under the sweep of this terrifying hurricane, a doomsday-like ocean storm set off in the sea along the way. A medium-sized ship happened to pass by and was swept into the edge of the storm. It was in a dilemma for a while.
"Pirate ship?"
Even though he was thousands of meters away, Nuo Xia still caught a glimpse of the skull and crossbones flag flying on the mast of the ship, and he immediately lost interest in rescuing him.
Just as he was about to continue on his way, he suddenly noticed a familiar smell on the deck and was slightly startled.
"It's strange, with his identity, why is this guy here..."
Nuo Xia's eyebrows were raised slightly, but he still immediately stopped his figure. With a flash of blue lightning, he headed towards the place where the ocean storm started at full speed.
Since there are acquaintances on the ship, there is no way to ignore this pirate ship.
…………
On the vast sea, strong winds rolled up dark clouds.
The people on the deck were already soaked to the skin by the huge waves.
These people look completely different from ordinary pirates. They all wear gray robes and wear crosses on their chests. They look more like religious clergy.
"Wei... no, captain, we can't stay here any longer!"
The middle-aged man in gray robe at the helm turned his head and roared in despair:
"The storm is getting more and more terrible! We can't hold on any longer! It's better for everyone to hide in the cabin first! That way there is still a chance of survival!"
The young man known as the Captain has a tall and slender figure, flowing blond hair, the iconic six vertical lines on his forehead, and a black cross tattooed on his Adam's apple.
From his eyebrows to his entire facial features, there is a sense of cold fear that is different from ordinary people.
His name is Basil Hawkins, he comes from the North Sea, and he happens to be twenty years old this year.
"Don't panic."
Listening to the roar of his subordinates, Hawkins' eyes flashed slightly, but his expression remained calm as usual, "After I do the divination, I will make a plan based on the situation."
No... the situation is so critical, why bother with divination!
The middle-aged man in gray robe was about to cry, but seeing that Hawkins had already taken out the tarot cards in a leisurely manner, he could not say anything more.
After all, this is also the captain's consistent style. The old crew members who have followed Hawkins since sailing from the North Sea a few years ago are almost used to it.
Dozens of exquisite tarot cards, in a strange and mysterious array, were quietly suspended in front of Hawkins, and with the gentle movement of his fingertips, the pros and cons and order were constantly changing.
"Hide in the cabin, mortality rate, 20%."
Looking at the hexagrams displayed on the tarot cards, he murmured softly, his voice low and ethereal, as if coming from the clouds and mist.
"Abandon ship and jump into the sea, the mortality rate is 15%."
"Stay where you are, mortality rate,... zero percent."
…………
His voice paused, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. It was obvious that even he himself could not understand the result shown by the divination at this time.
The rest of the crew around them couldn't believe it even more. One officer couldn't help but said:
"Forget it, Mr. Guard Captain, there should be some problems with the divination. Don't hold on. How about we hide in the cabin first?"
"There are indeed precedents for divination failures."
Hawkins shook his head slightly, his tone still as cold as ice, "But such an extreme probability, if it is wrong, is too obvious. The goddess of divination will never do such boring things."
Buzz!
At this moment, above the dome, there was a faint sound of sword blades.
A huge and majestic milky-white sword energy suddenly slashed down, easily cutting the terrifying hurricane ahead into two pieces as everyone watched in stunned silence.
The storm suddenly stopped, and almost instantly, the sea surface became calm again.
The dark clouds accumulated above also dispersed to both sides, and the warm sunshine passed through the gaps and wandered over the sea again.
"Hey, hey, there must be a limit to joking..."
"He actually wiped out the hurricane with one sword."
"Then...is that level of slashing still possible for humans..."
The pirates on the entire ship were dumbfounded. Many of them opened their mouths so wide that they could almost swallow several ostrich eggs.
Even Hawkins himself took a long time to recover from this shocking scene, and looked up at the sky with a confused face.
laugh!
Amidst the sound of breaking wind from far to near, a blue stream of light flew past and landed on the deck of the bow. The thunder light dispersed and set off a violent air current.
The pirates nearby were caught off guard and flew backwards screaming, crashing through the railings and falling into the sea.
"Help!"
"Help me!"
They struggled to emerge from the sea and shouted for help to their companions on the boat.
However, at this time, everyone on the deck could no longer care about them. They looked at the figure descending from the sky and raised their weapons one after another as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"I don't know what is good and what is evil."
The visitor frowned slightly and raised his fingertips. The next moment, all the pirates in the surrounding area saw their eyes blurred and blue light flashed.
Then he was horrified to find that the weapon in his hand had been shattered into pieces at some point. After it completely cracked, it fell to the ground like broken silver.
"Mai...Captain!"
The people who lost their weapons subconsciously took two steps back and looked at Kings in panic.
"Don't panic."
After a brief shock, Hawkins had regained his composure. He moved his fingertips slightly and looked at the brand new hexagram displayed in the tarot cards in front of him.
"In battle, the defeat rate is 100%."
"Escape, the success rate is zero percent."
"Defense, evasion rate is 0%."
…
Indeed it is.
All I can say is...is he worthy of that legendary man?
Hawkins took a deep breath, suddenly put away the Tarot cards, leaned over slightly, put his right hand on his chest, saluted Nuo Xia, and said in a low voice:
"It's an honor to meet you, sir. I am Magician Hawkins, the captain of this ship. Please allow me to thank you on behalf of all the crew members for your help."
