The battleship crashed into the ocean, and Leviathan braved the violent storm and happily picked up marine life in the water that was knocked unconscious by the waves while moving forward.
After leaving the small garden, the familiar storm once again blocked the way, making it difficult to move.
"Commander, your transformation plan seems to be delayed. I didn't expect the navy to arrive so quickly."
Standing on the deck, Lovett said softly.
"It doesn't matter, sir. After all, the other party is the navy that suppresses the sea."
Ah Jin shook his head repeatedly in fear.
The World Government has ruled the sea for eight hundred years, and the navy has suppressed the sea for eight hundred years, until Roger barely opened an inch.
For eight hundred years, a fool can figure out this sea area.
Not only does it occupy every key checkpoint of the Grand Line, but its intelligence is even more airtight.
"No, I mean..."
Lovett gave up on explaining.
"Well, as long as you are happy."
Ajin: "..."
I guessed what you were going to say!
Tell me how to be happy!!
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
"It's a pity for those two giants."
Wallace lamented: "If they attack the Navy, the Navy will definitely not let them go."
How can we form an alliance if we can't take the words back?
"Don't underestimate Wallace. After all, the opponent belongs to the giant pirate group that shocked the world a hundred years ago. It's not that easy to deal with."
Ah Jin disagreed.
"The soldier commander is right. He picked on me, so why shouldn't I pick on him."
Lovett smiled: "If you can't go back, the weak are not worth my time."
"After all, in terms of the necessity of alliance and the strength of the demand for weapons, the King Shichibu Kaiten Yaksha, the wandering mercenary Germa Kingdom, and even the Yonko Kaido of the New World are all better choices than the giant clan."
"It's just that the risk is too high. It's not as easy to fool as the giants."
Ajin: "..."
It’s Mr. Lovett whom I’m familiar with!
In addition to all kinds of information that I don’t know where to come from, there is an internal smell.
"In the final analysis, I just have this need to help share the pressure, rather than focusing on this group of people."
Lovett shook his head.
"So I gathered myself together and prepared to deal with the next trouble... The commander went to check the artillery. I remember that Leviathan swallowed a lot, and Wallace immediately turned around and accelerated toward the rear."
"...Uh, sir, what is this?"
Checking the artillery is understandable, but turning...
"You really don't think there are magnetic field lines and the trouble is just ahead, right?"
Lovett's eyes are full of wisdom, reflecting the stars.
"This is a tactic I often used before!"
"...I just don't know what that sand sculpture is here for."
"How funny?"
…
At the same time, the incomplete naval fleet.
The sand sculpture... no, the leading major general hid in the corner of the cabin in fear, waiting for the anger to come.
He is not a fool, but his ambition is hard to realize.
In order to be on par with Lieutenant General Bastiu, whom he admired, he urgently needed a big achievement to prove himself.
The Black Earl is a godsend.
The reward is no more than 100 million, which is just within the limit.
But the threat level is so high that it gives even the marshals a headache.
If we can arrest him, it will be a great achievement!
So... before the order was issued, he left the standby position without permission, followed the Leviathan, and arrived at the small garden.
"Asshole!!"
On the other end of the phone, the majestic Lieutenant General Ghost Spider chewed his cigar and cursed: "Bad thing, do you know what you have done?!"
"Go back and explain yourself to General Akainu!"
Gulu!
The Major General's legs became weak at the thought of facing Akainu.
To put it lightly, he was derelict in his duties this time, but to put it seriously, he was disobeying orders. With Akainu’s temper, which could not tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes, it was possible to kill him!
But he forcefully explained: "Lieutenant... Lieutenant General, I followed the Black Earl's ship, they can't escape."
"What? You actually followed me?!"
Ghost Spider's usually cold and indifferent face showed an expression of disbelief.
Remembering how the flying squirrel reminded him of how cunning Lovett was before setting off, his expression suddenly changed.
"Damn it! Notify everyone of the emergency march and rush to the small garden!!"
Major General: "..."
Any questions?
Could it be that I still didn't go back to standby, so the lieutenant general wanted to come over and teach myself a lesson?
To be honest, rather than letting spies come and go to find out information, wouldn't it be better for me to stick my physical eyes in the opponent's grass?
But Ghost Spider could no longer get angry at this moment. After issuing the order, he said coldly.
"Major General Carnegie."
"exist!"
"Justice cannot be shamed. I ask you to fight to the death and not retreat until the main force arrives. Do you understand?"
Carnegie: "..."
Why?
The next moment, the alarm bell told him the answer.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"The Black Earl is here, ready to fight!!"
Hearing this call, the ghostly spider on the phone twitched his face and hung up the phone.
"idiot!"
On the sea, the huge shadow of the Leviathan gradually approached, and the moon seemed to be unable to bear to witness what was going to happen next, dragging in dark clouds to try to cover everything up.
"Look, it's true."
Looking at the chaos of warships ahead, Lovett took a sip of his wine and shook his head helplessly: "What a great opportunity... If you don't disturb me, and cooperate with the ambush, it will be enough to cause us heavy losses, and we will be arrested."
possible."
"It's a pity that he is a fool."
Not only do pirates have idiots like Crick, but the Navy also has idiots like Carnegie.
But unfortunately, Lovett is not stupid.
"Leviathan, Akin..."
"clear!!"
"Moo!!"
The Hateful Battleship opened its big mouth and let out an intrusive roar.
The last ray of moonlight fell, illuminating the huge hollow mouth of the abyss clearly.
By the time Ghost Spider arrived with his troops, this place had become a purgatory on earth.
The burned and broken wreckage of the warship told everything that had happened before, and corpses floated on the sea, attracting a large number of fish and shrimps.
A naval battle is not a land battle. There are no monsters that can change the situation of the battle. It doesn't matter whether Lovett takes action or not. The huge monster warships are charging rampantly, and no warship can stop them.
In just one face-to-face encounter, the warship position was torn apart.
"Lieutenant General, Major General Carnegie is still alive."
"Bring it up!"
Ghost Spider suppressed his anger and said.
Plop!
Carnegie, who was all wet, had been soaking in the water for a long time. After letting go, he fell directly to the ground, but when he looked at the tall and burly ghost spider in front of him, his eyes lit up.
"Lieutenant General!"
He cried: "That's not a boat, it's a monster!!"
"The Black Earl controlled the monster to tear apart the position and did not leave directly. Instead, he turned around again and rushed to the other side. No one was the opponent of the monster, and all the ships were destroyed."
"Because he wants to make sure no one can continue to monitor his whereabouts!!"
Ghost Spider interrupted him coldly.
"That's why I asked you to stand by outside the encirclement, isn't it?"
With a click, a flintlock gun was aimed at the opponent's head.
"Do you know that when the encirclement was opened and he broke out, how many intelligence officers would die on the way to the next plan?"
"Why did you survive! What dignity do you have to survive!"
"I……"
boom!!!
Without waiting for him to explain, Ghost Spider angrily pulled the trigger, causing blood to fly.
"An underachieving thing!"
Anger made Ghost Spider's face turn red. He wiped away the liquid that splashed on his face with his thumb, and Ghost Spider shouted an order.
"He can't run far, look for me!!"
"yes!"
The soldiers on the deck shuddered and shouted in response.
…
Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.
"Bastard thing!!"
The yelling and cursing was deafening. Don't think too much. There is only one person who dares to be so unrestrained in the marshal's office... Akainu.
It's a vacation now, and Akainu won't go out without a mission, so he received a notification from the front line as soon as possible.
Ever since it decided to let Lovett enter the Grand Line, the Navy began to set up a dragnet, striving to defeat him and capture him before he caused trouble.
But despite all the calculations, I never thought that the problem would happen to one of my own!
Now that the other party has discovered the plan and disappeared directly, it will not be so easy to find him next time.
Crane also thought of this.
If Carnegie were in front of her, she would kill him with one shot.
One general is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted. This is a typical example!
"but……"
Warring States frowned: "Even if he doesn't see through our plan, it's not that easy to find someone."
Judging from Lovett's movement route, he must first reach Whiskey Peak before heading to the Ancient Island... However, he did not.
He bypassed the Whiskey Peak and arrived directly at the Ancient Island.
Coupled with the fact that he disappeared into the sea and searched to no avail, it can be concluded that he did not buy a full record pointer, but mastered another navigation method...
Permanent pointer!!
"Does the old man at Twin Points Lighthouse have such good stuff?"
"Not necessarily. You can send someone to ask."
Warring States said: "But..."
"If we can persuade the 'Blue Ghost' Dongli and the 'Red Ghost' Brockie to leave the small garden, he may not be as ignorant as we thought."
"So his next destination is..."
The two old men looked at each other and said in unison: "City of the Queen of Spring!"
