Chapter 75: The Two People Returning to the Navy Headquarters
"So you sent Hancock and the others to the Chambord Islands, and then returned to find me?"
In just a few minutes, Wood heard from Gion what happened after he left.
Because Gion and his group left much earlier than the fishmen, they didn't encounter any obstacles during the period.
But Wood felt that if the newly rescued slaves were sent back to the Shampoo Islands, they would not be captured and sold a second time...
It seemed that he could see Wood's concerns from his expression, so Gion continued: "Don't worry, I didn't send them to the illegal area of the Chambord Islands.
And don't underestimate them, especially the Amazon kid who you value. After eating the Devil Fruit, she is now quite powerful. Ordinary human traffickers and pirates should not be her opponents.
And this is also their wish. When they learned that you were in danger, they took the initiative to say that they could return to their hometown on their own strength and hoped that I would come to find you as soon as possible."
Indeed, after becoming a user with the ability of "Sweet Fruit", Hancock is no longer an ordinary brat. The strength she showed in Marie Joa was even comparable to that of a "lieutenant-level" general in the Navy.
There are no powerful people in the Shampoo Islands now. As long as they can contact the Amazon Lily Kingdom, the members of the Nine Snakes Pirates will come to pick them up.
"I've finished asking about the Amazon brat. Now do you want to explain to me what the fish-man swordsman Yasuo is?
Didn't we discuss it a long time ago? It's okay to teach the Tianlong people a lesson, but don't kill anyone!
Now the whole sea is shaking, and even two days ago the Navy Headquarters ordered us to go back immediately because the manpower is completely insufficient."
As soon as the Tianlong people were mentioned, Gion immediately became angry again. He even involuntarily picked up Wood's ears and started to twist them.
"There's nothing we can do about it. I didn't expect the Tianlong people to be such jerks.
I took action as soon as I got excited. When I got to the second Tianlong, I thought that killing one was just a kill, and killing two would make no difference, so I killed the other guy as well.
Speaking of which, the biggest loss this time is that the treasures I brought out from that Saint Charmac were all lost while escaping, and now only this knife is left."
Wood was very lucky that when Tiger rescued him, he knew how important the sword was to a swordsman, so he helped him get the sword back, otherwise he would have really lost all his money this time.
"The knife is a good knife, but it was taken from the Tianlong people's treasure house. Are you sure it's okay?"
"An Xin, there are so many things in that treasure house, I guess even the Tianlong man himself doesn't know what he has.
What's more, now that Tianlong is dead, and the remaining things that cannot be taken away have all been burned by me."
Killing, robbing, and setting fire... Wood is actually a just navy, not a notorious pirate.
Seemingly seeing Gion's unnatural expression, Wood patted the other party's shoulder nonchalantly and said: "Anyway, the other party is a Celestial Dragon, so it doesn't matter.
Since the Celestial Dragons are even more assholes than the pirates, there's no problem in robbing them.
Strong logic and three views made Gion unable to refute. Although Gion wanted to say that she was a righteous navy and would never collude with Wood, she painfully discovered that she seemed to have become an accomplice in the entire incident.
.
After several days of sailing, Wood and Gion's ship finally successfully docked at the Navy Headquarters harbor.
Along the way, Wood also hoped that some unsighted pirates with a bounty would come to look for trouble so that he could make some extra money.
After all, during previous missions in Gion, I often encountered characters like this when returning.
The treasures he had caught in the holy land of Mariejoia have now rested in the sea forever. The heartbroken Wood hopes to save some money before returning to a place like Impel Down, otherwise he will have to go back and forth to Red Leaf Island and even pay for his little one.
Ai Yin didn’t have any money to buy gifts.
However, it is a pity that due to the Holy Land Marie Joa incident, the whole sea is now in a state of chaos, and the Navy Headquarters is going crazy to arrest people everywhere.
Not only the naval hero Garp, but also the three most powerful supernova lieutenant generals Akainu, Kizaru and Aochi in the current navy headquarters were excluded.
Not to mention the small pirates at sea, even the big pirates have entered a dormant period during this period. No one wants to touch the navy's bad luck during this period.
So of course, Wood and his team's return trip was extremely smooth, even without any wind or waves.
The two people who returned to the Navy Headquarters also came to the Marshal's Office of the Warring States Period because they had to report on the mission.
Facing the salutes of passers-by A, B, and C in the aisle, Gion was always in a state of absent-mindedness.
The reason is also very simple. The incident this time was too big. Gion knew that Marshal Sengoku was not an idiot, and he would definitely be able to learn from some clues that this incident was closely related to them.
So when we report on the mission later, do we need to report truthfully what they did in the Holy Land Mariegio?
"Marshal Warring States did not force us to recall us because of the Tianlong incident, but asked us to come back as soon as possible due to lack of manpower. This shows that the other party does not want this matter to be related to the navy.
So no matter what the Warring States Marshal is doing, we must pretend to be dumbfounded and firmly state that we are going to escort the slaves this time. As for other things, they have nothing to do with us!"
Today's Gion is still too young, although it handles things quite tactfully and has more skills than its peers.
But in her current state, she didn't even need to say anything. As a seasoned veteran, Seng Guo could tell.
In Wood's view, taking the initiative to confess is completely stupid, and even Warring States is only in the stage of speculation about this matter.
To put it another way, what if Warring States really sees something? The other party may not be willing to be the insider. After all, he knows too much, and he will have to take the blame once the matter is exposed.
When the two of them walked into Sengoku's office, the old guy also raised his head that was reviewing documents, and his eyes were like two sharp swords, looking at Wood and Gion through the round lenses.
"Thank you for your hard work on this mission. You must have heard about what happened on the sea recently, right?
The Celestial Dragons were killed by humans, which is something that has never happened in the past few hundred years. Coincidentally, this time you also happened to go to the Holy Land Marie Joa.
So what I want to know is, do you know some useful information that I don’t know?”
