Of course, Zangao's false orders were not simply to facilitate his escape. This kind of betrayal was a taboo on a pirate ship, and he would not be welcomed wherever he escaped.
Besides, although the East China Sea is vast, it still has an end.
As long as Crowe doesn't die for a day, there is a possibility of being caught.
Instead of living in fear all day long, fearing that one day he would be caught and tortured by Crowe, based on human nature, Zangao would naturally choose to eliminate future troubles forever.
Whoosh!
Pfft...!
The sharp blade penetrated the body, and Crow's speed was far beyond that of ordinary humans. He stepped silently and could not even see the afterimage.
When Sam came to his senses, the cold steel stirred his internal organs and extinguished any vitality.
"Ship...captain?"
Until his death, Sam didn't know why Crowe wanted to kill him, and his eyes were full of doubts.
At this point in time, shouldn't we deal with the enemy first?
However, he made a common-sense mistake and prioritized dealing with the enemy... only if Crowe needs you!
Different people have different ways of relieving stress, and different statuses also have different ways of relieving stress.
Crowe's usual way to relieve stress is, as expected, to push up his glasses... and use habitual small movements to focus on and eliminate distracting thoughts.
But with the double violent debuff of being teased by Lovett and betrayed by Zangao, he needed to kill someone in order to calm down.
But here, there are only two people to choose from...
Plop...!
Putting aside Sam's dead body and noticing Lovett's playful gaze, Crowe pushed up his glasses with his palms and said calmly.
"You don't seem to be qualified to watch a show, right?"
Since an escape boat was prepared in advance, Jango must not have regarded Lovett as a real killing move.
His difficulty was only exposed after the two sides fought.
Destroy the ship or even plant explosives to trap yourself on a desert island. As expected, the navy will come.
Crowe's guess was good.
A few minutes ago, when Zangao escaped, the warship command room.
"Colonel, someone reported that Lieutenant Lovett killed Dr. Sheldon. Now the other party's family brought many residents to the branch to cause trouble, demanding that we hand over the murderer!"
On the other end of the phone, Lieutenant Colonel Klimans, who was left behind, wiped cold sweat, glanced at the excited crowd downstairs through the window, and said quickly.
With such excitement, it is obvious that the whistleblower has some conclusive evidence.
It's enough to turn black and white upside down.
"What did you say?!"
Mengka's pupils shrank, suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, and widened his eyes.
"Lieutenant Lovett killed Dr. Sheldon?"
Mengka had an impression of Dr. Sheldon, and his chipped chin was the result of the doctor's surgery. However, after his personality changed drastically, Mengka didn't feel much inner peace about the news that he died of a sudden heart attack.
But the good(?) news doesn't end there.
"not only that!"
Lieutenant Colonel Klimans hesitated for a moment and said: "They also said... said..."
"say what?!"
With anger on his face, Mengka touched his axe.
"They say that Lieutenant Lovett is actually a member of the Black Cat Pirates. He had already joined Crowe's gang before he was arrested by Colonel Skinner!"
What's the meaning?
Klimans's voice was loud and the phone bug relayed it truthfully, so Jody and others in the office heard what he said.
They couldn't understand why there was such unnecessary slander.
Yes, slander!
If you think about it, you will know that this kind of thing is untenable. As a key criminal who has been repeatedly ordered to be arrested and brought to justice, the navy's informants watched Lovett's every move a month before the attack, so it must be slander.
But since it is mentioned, there must be some purpose.
Are you afraid that Mengka won't take it seriously?
Lieutenant Colonel Jody shook his head.
At this moment, Lieutenant Colonel Klimans swallowed his saliva and finished the last part of his sentence: "...and the 'Baizhi' Crowe we arrested was just a stand-in. They were there to let Lovett break into the navy.
It’s a good show on purpose.”
Boom!
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Everyone in the small cabin was shocked to death by these words.
Is the ‘Baiji’ Crow we arrested fake?!
Lieutenant Colonel Jody's pupils shrank.
Yes, now everything is connected.
Although the appearance and height are almost the same, no one can prove that the guy they arrested is the real "Baji" Crowe!
Everyone who knew about it died in that massacre.
Only Lovett is left, and...
Monka!
Looking up, Mengka's eyes were staring ahead blankly, and cold sweat continued to seep down his back and soaked his clothes.
As a hypnotist, Zangao knew best where Mengka's "vital gate" was.
"Arrest", "Clo", "Stand-in".
These three words are the key to unlocking the hypnotic effect!
At this moment, Mengka remembered everything, everything that happened that day, his own incompetence at the time, and in that new memory... the Lovett who never existed!
Combined with what happened next, Mengka woke up in shock.
I am a chess piece!
A chess piece used by Crowe to escape the golden cicada's shell, and a chess piece used by Lovett to steal the sky and change the future!
Both pirates achieved ulterior motives on him.
Play with him.
There is anger, but at this moment Mengka is more afraid!
Once this matter is exposed, he will be in danger of death!
However, his appearance gave Lieutenant Colonel Jody more ideas. He and Major Aiden looked at each other and shook their heads.
In their eyes, maybe the truth is just as the whistleblower said, Crowe is fake.
Now think about it, being able to kill all the members of Branch 153, including Branch Chief Skinner, is as powerful as "Hundred Strategies", how could it be so easy to fall for it.
Mengka must have known that there was something wrong with the arrested Crowe, or that he had a deal with him, and deliberately concealed the truth for the sake of his own future.
And Lovett, even if he was not an accomplice, must have reached an... ulterior agreement with him.
"We must set out now to solve this hidden danger, right?"
Jody thought silently.
Now that this matter has been exposed, it seems to have something to do with Mengka treating Lovett as an abandoned son.
Maybe it was Lovett who exposed it on purpose, and everyone was killed.
The so-called dog eats dog is nothing more than this.
But no matter what the truth is, Mengka will not allow Lovett to live, and will definitely "ask" him to find out.
It's better not to resist arrest, but it doesn't matter if you resist arrest.
The sword has no eyes, so it’s understandable that he accidentally killed him during the arrest, isn’t it?
Bang!
The hundred-forged ax struck heavily on the table, making a loud sound.
Mengka's eyes were red, and his lips were trembling with excitement.
"absurd!!"
So he said.
"Is this kind of accusation worthy of our dead brothers and Colonel Skinner?!"
"Yes...I'm sorry!!"
Mengka ignored it and put down the receiver.
"Send my order and the whole army will turn around!!"
"I'm going to find Lovett and find out!!"
When Jodi and Aiden heard this, they stood at attention and saluted.
"yes!"
…
So Crowe's guess was correct, Lovett was indeed not qualified to watch the show.
The speed of the warship far exceeded that of the lifeboat, and it took no more than an hour at most. After waiting for the large naval force to arrive, the ground was washed away by artillery fire, and they were unable to fly.
"Well, I did underestimate him."
Lovett was not embarrassed by being exposed, and covered his forehead with a look of self-deprecation.
Oda is indeed a manga artist...
Look, in addition to heroes like Mengka and Crowe, the even more inconspicuous Zangao is also not simple!
The whole process is hidden behind the scenes, controlling everything.
Compared to what he planned, he, Crowe, and Mengka all became pawns.
Little people also have their own ways of living, and little people also have their shining points.
He is not born noble, but he does not look like a wrinkled little old man when he is born.
"but……"
"Do you know why I didn't take action to kill Mengka on the spot even though I have such strength?"
Crowe's eyes were heavy.
Does this mean...that there is no intention to cooperate?
"In order to live in this sea, everyone has to decide their own position... Most people have several options to choose from, but I don't."
Lovett said: "Ever since I got involved in this troublesome matter, I know that there is only one way left in front of me..."
"PIrate!!"
Crow understood, stepped forward, and slowly bent his body into a squat, with the cat's paws one short and one high, placed in front of him.
"You want to be famous?"
Crowe is hard to find, but branch 153 is easy to find. What a simple priority logic.
Lovett nodded: "Yes."
"Since I can't decide my opponent, I have to decide my teammates."
The biggest trouble at the beginning this time is not the broken arm, but this... identity of a pirate!
After saying that, he raised his gaze and looked at Crowe, who was wearing a black casual suit, and said.
"Don't worry, Zangao will definitely die. Maybe you two will still have a chance to meet."
This is a lie!
Crowe shook his head: "You are too confident."
Silent step·Spoon!
"Yeah?"
With only five fingers, he scratched his Adam's apple from the left side of his face, leaving traces of blood. The gaps between his fingernails were filled with blood foam, and the pain caused Lovett's eyes to flash red, and he became increasingly violent.
"Then let me see how a magician fights!"
………………
The title of Chapter 4 "Chapter 4, Reply from the Navy Headquarters" was blocked, and was changed to "Chapter 4 Aokiji's Thoughts".
Chapter 12 "Chapter 12, A Soldier Never Is Deceitful" was blocked, and was replaced by "Chapter 12, Calculation".
...finally found the reason.
Those who understand will naturally understand that the big tree belongs to the innocent little person who died of unknown aoe.
Crazy vomiting blood.
