"He agreed." Watching Sengoku put down the phone bug, Lieutenant General He who had been listening beside him said: "So, who are you going to send to Vera to pick up undercover Lieutenant General Vergo and scientist Caesar?"
Warring States tapped the table with his index finger, thought for two seconds and said, "Let Major General Gu Ku go."
After saying that, he shook his head tiredly.
Vergo is a vice admiral of the navy, stationed at the G5 base at the entrance to the new world. Such a person is actually Doflamingo's undercover. Doflamingo also uses Caesar to make artificial devil fruits and conduct experiments on human enlargement.
, are all major incidents that the Navy cannot tolerate, but the World Government actually wants to postpone the handling.
Even the escort had to be aided by a non-Navy person, even though it was a suggestion from my own side.
"Half a month." Warring States suddenly said in a deep voice: "In another half month, even if no trace of Dunan Isbadry can be found, the navy will return to normal! I will argue with the Five Old Stars and never
We cannot let the navy become the private soldiers of the Celestial Dragons!"
Lieutenant General He smiled: "Maybe the World Government will remove you from your position as marshal."
"If it really comes to that level, there's nothing we can do about it." Warring States shook his head and said, "Having said that, the newly-minted world's greatest swordsman, Holo, is really a man with a full sense of justice. Before, he
Leaving the tidal island was like traveling like an eagle's eye, which worried me for a while.
But first he destroyed Crocodile's conspiracy and brought rain to Alabasta.
I went to the New World and discovered what Doflamingo was doing secretly while investigating the case of missing children. He was doing the job that the Navy was supposed to do... It's a pity that he refused to become a Navy."
He shook his head and said: "He won't. This incident is different from the last time. He broke into the research base of the World Government. If the person behind Caesar and Vergo is not Doflamingo, but the World Government,
What do you think he will do?
He probably didn’t consider this possibility at all in the middle of the process, but he still went ahead with it.”
Warring States was startled and nodded: "Yes, it can be seen from Qingzhi's report that he also has some lawless character in his heart. He only does what he thinks is right... Having said that, looking at it this way, if he really encounters
When we arrive at Dunant Isbadry, we may not be able to inform the navy happily, and the two of us may even become friends..."
After all, it is obvious to everyone what the Tianlong people are. They just have no way to do it, which does not mean they can accept it.
"It's okay." He shook his head: "A guy who so many people can't find will not be met by him by such a coincidence, and there have been ghost legends in that place in Vera for many years."
"That's right."
Warring States raised his hand and pressed his head. Regarding the arrest of the blasphemer Dunan, the navy was already unable to stand on a righteous stance. The revolutionary army had been preparing to move. If it were to involve Holo, a red-haired man who has a close relationship with Hawkeye,
Okay, the new world's greatest swordsman, it's simply unimaginable what will happen.
Ta da——
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door. After Warring States sternly said to come in, a tall middle-aged man wearing a cloak of justice and sunglasses walked in and said: "Marshal Warring States."
The visitor is Dark Horse, the director of the Naval Criminal Investigation Bureau. Just like the three generals such as Kizaru and Akainu, he has the same color and zodiac sign. He is obviously not an ordinary person. He has the rank of alternate general above the lieutenant general of the headquarters.
.
Seeing him, Warring States had a headache: "Dark horse, it seems that what you bring will not be good news."
Dark Horse nodded slightly: "When the Revolutionary Army sent fugitive slaves home, my people focused on a few people. They have made some changes in the past two days. Judging from the number of people mobilized, the people dispatched and their destinations
The goal is not simple.”
Warring States was silent for a while, wanting to blow Garp's head off... but it was a pity that Garp wasn't there.
…
The revolutionary army was also very busy during this time.
Among the slaves who escaped from Mariejoia, there were soldiers who had joined the Revolutionary Army. They knew how to contact them, and Kerra contacted them and asked for help from the Shichibukai Kaishi Jinbei. They found many liberated slaves.
Time goes back to two days ago.
Revolutionary Army Headquarters, Kerra's house.
The orange-haired girl was taking care of the purple-haired girl carefully and tenderly: "Yuliya, eat slowly, don't choke...don't use your hands, use chopsticks...it doesn't matter. If you don't get used to it for a while, it's okay to use your hands.
No one will blame you."
The purple-haired girl who was immersed in cooking looked at her carefully and continued to cook.
Jean Kerla felt pity for him.
This kid looks so much like her.
Ten years ago, her long-term slave life had closed her heart. When she was first rescued from Marigio, she was a girl who could only laugh and work. She did not dare to let out any unnecessary emotions, even if she was beaten.
Even if you encounter something scary.
This girl probably went on a hunger strike and was tortured inhumanely because she didn't eat. When she was first brought back, Sabo's careless guy didn't notice, but when he gave food to the rescued slaves, the girl kept holding on.
Even if you are still eating after you have vomited it out, you must eat all the food in front of you.
After taking careful care of her for more than a week, she finally got better, but she still carefully closed her heart. Apart from her own name, she would only say whether she was full or not.
'Take your time and everything will get better.'
Saying something in her heart, Kerla smiled and said to the girl who had eaten all the food: "Are you full? Yulia."
Yulia looked at her timidly, murmured for a long time, and then whispered: "I'm full, thank you."
"You're welcome, just eat enough... Huh?!"
Kerra's eyes lit up. Did Yulia just say thank you? She moved closer to Yulia excitedly: "Yuria, are you willing to speak? Were you saying thank you just now? Can you say it again?"
"...Thank you." Yulia repeated.
"Great! Do you still remember your exact age? Yulia. How many years were you arrested at that place? Where is your family? Where is your home? Do you remember it?" Kerla asked several questions in succession.
Yulia shrank back in fear before she realized that she had frightened others.
"Well... I'm just asking. If you don't want to think about it, don't think about it now. We're not saying we're going to send you back. If you want, you can always stay here. You will be my sister from now on!" She added.
Yulia was in a daze for a while, then murmured: "Three years... home, Vera... mother..."
"...Vera?" Kerla was startled: "You said your home is in Vera? Is your mother here?"
"Well...I want...to go home."
Kerla was silent for two seconds, then smiled and said: "No problem, you wait for me at home, I will tell the leader and I will send you home in a few days!"
She left in a hurry to find Long, but as soon as she left the house, a look of worry flashed across her face.
Vera, she remembers it.
After the establishment of the Revolutionary Army, the first activity and the first liberated island was Vera. She had not joined the Revolutionary Army at that time, but she heard about it from the seniors of the Revolutionary Army.
The original liberation was not complete, and the strength of the revolutionary army was not enough. Over the years, there would be riots in Vera from time to time. Could it be because of this that Yulia... why not get more involved in Vera and let there
More peaceful?
She asked Long this question, but Long didn't give an answer and was vague.
A few minutes later, after finding the dragon, she explained Yulia's situation and asked again: "Why don't we get more involved in Vera's riot?"
"That child is actually from Vera."
Long was a little surprised. A woman's figure appeared in his mind, his expression was slightly dazed, and the mark on his cheek felt faintly painful again.
"The only people who can determine the future of Vera are the Vera people themselves." He looked at Kerra and said: "The origin of Vera's rebellion... is actually not us."
…
Dressrosa.
The furious Kaido rebuked himself and asked him to find a way to save Caesar and continue the production of artificial devil fruits. As for Holo, Kaido only asked him to find the opponent's location and have Kaido deal with it himself.
What Doflamingo expected.
But this did not make him feel relaxed. He knew that his situation was getting a little worse now.
Conducting those experiments privately is a small matter, but colluding with the Four Pirate Emperors is a big deal. This can easily cause him to lose his position as the King of the Shichibukai, and then make everything about his family in Dressrosa disappear, and even the dark forces.
The foundation of 'Joker' will be destroyed.
As a former Celestial Dragon, he does possess some secret information that the world government does not want to leak, but if he is 'dishonest', it will only make the world government want to bring him under its control, and at most he will become a blasphemer.
And delay for a while.
Everything seemed to come from the casual actions of the world's greatest swordsman.
But Doflamingo didn't feel hatred.
"Fufufufufufu... This world is originally like this, the winner is king, the strong is king. This time I was just a little unlucky.
But...the real victory has just begun now. The world's greatest swordsman, Holo, who among us will be the final winner?"
After a while of silence and a low chuckle like a lunatic, Doflamingo picked up the phone and dialed a number again.
"Morgance, I have a big news for you here, but you have to do me a favor first... Whose news is it? No, of course it is not the blasphemer's, fufufufufu...
But if it really breaks out, maybe it won't lose a few points to that incident. Do you know about Crocodile, who first reported it to you through Newsbird? The swordsman who defeated Hawkeye, one year ago
The 'unknown swordsman' who killed the white lion, the new world's greatest swordsman, Holo...
He might... be facing off against the Four Emperors!"
…
A few days later.
For the navies at the G5 base, the recent experience is indeed a bit mysterious.
Lieutenant General Vergo, who was transferred two years ago, had just captured their hearts, but he just received an inexplicable report from a research base. He was fine when he went out, but he became a prisoner when he came back?
If it hadn't been for the phone bug that connected Sengoku, they probably wouldn't have believed it until the end, thinking that Ji Xing had used some kind of fruit power on Vergo.
The navy stationed in the New World is not a kind person, and Vergo quickly turned from a good lieutenant general into a villain who deceived their feelings.
Chains were tied around his body, making it difficult for even Ji Xing to break free.
Ji Xing's attitude towards Ji Xing became more and more polite. He listened to his words and ferociously escorted Felico and others to send the children who were captured as experimental subjects home to reunite each family.
Then a warship was sent, led by a colonel from the base, to assist Ji Xing in escorting Vergo to Vera Island, and everyone was respectful.
What does it look like specifically?
When they arrived at Vera for the handover, they bowed to see Ji Xing off with tears in their eyes.
"Mr. Holo! Thank you for accompanying me all the way, and thank you for everything you have done for the G5 base! You are always welcome at the G5 base! Wuwuwu——"
He sent Ji Xing away with exaggerated tears, then turned around and gave Vergo and Caesar a kick.
"Traitor! Traitor!"
"Damn evil scientists!"
Vergo's face was expressionless, while Caesar's face was unruly. The next moment he saw Ji Xing looking back, he switched to an honest look, with a flattering expression on his face.
The navy officers also burst into tears in seconds: "Mr. Holo! We must come again!"
The headquarters navy who came to hand over was stunned. Are the colleagues in the New World so stressed?
Ji Xing smiled and officially set foot on the land of Vera Island, waving his hands and saying: "See you soon, everyone, be careful along the way!"
"yes!!"
Ji Xing turned around and walked towards the depths of the island. He raised his head and glanced at the news bird flying away in the sky. He murmured in his heart: "It seems that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Don't bring disaster to this war-torn land. See it as soon as possible."
Let’s see what the ghost legend is about. Let’s find an uninhabited island to play.”
On the way here, he had learned about the situation on Vera Island.
This island is neither small nor big, about twice the size of the tidal island. Hundreds of years ago, people here were distributed like five villages and one town like the tidal island. The town prospered, and with the development year by year
, the population of the island gradually exceeded 100,000, and the Kingdom of Vera was established like Kra Island.
But just thirteen years ago, a riot suddenly broke out on the island. It was said that it was caused by the revolutionary army, which led to the collapse of the kingdom. Since then, various riots have continued.
Walking deeper into the island, Ji Xing soon saw a deserted village, just like Kra Island, with only bricks and tiles left, even better, because there were still many people living on the island, and the deserted village
It must have been searched layer by layer.
After seeing and hearing the color, Ji Xing suddenly raised his eyebrows, let out an unexpected chuckle, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"This is really fate."
Kilometers away, in a small village.
In a certain desolate courtyard, several people were scratching the ground with sweat dripping from their backs.
"The ship, captain, can't be dug!"
"You can also help me!"
"By the way...what are we looking for? Coming from the East China Sea to the Grand Route..."
"I've heard in the past few days that there are man-eating evil spirits on the island of Vera... Well, many people have disappeared inexplicably. We..."
"What evil ghost? Dig it up!" The clown-like big red nose urged, waving the knife: "There are no ghosts in this world! Hurry up, it should be around here. When the treasure is dug out, Lord Bucky will share it with you.
Just a little! Hurry up!"
"Is there really a treasure? Captain!"
"Are you questioning the great Lord Bucky who is extremely familiar with the Grand Line?!"
"No, no-"
Seeing his subordinates working conscientiously, Bucky nodded slightly with satisfaction, walked out of the yard, and whispered: "Divide the treasure? Huh, naive - Captain John's treasures all belong to Mr. Bucky!"
"It should be here... The last time that bastard threw me into the Navy branch, it made Mr. Bucky figure something out... Of course, Mr. Bucky will not thank him if I meet him again..."
"Yo, Bucky."
A warm greeting sounded from the opposite side, and Bucky raised his head and waved: "Yo--what a ghost?!"
After seeing Ji Xing's appearance clearly, his eyes were bulging out of their sockets, his body was split apart, and his two flying hands violently rubbed his eyes.
"You, you bastard! Why are you here, you bastard?!"
Ji Xing showed a kind smile: "What did you say?"
Bucky froze for a long time. When the subordinates who heard the sound screamed, he smiled slightly: "I said...I said you are good."
"Oh, you mean there is treasure here?"
Bucky was shocked: "What kind of ears are you talking about?! No! Where is the treasure?!"
