Clow didn't know William's psychological activities, but he was already driving the Golden Horse, flying directly over the Red Earth Continent where Mary Joa was, and then headed straight from the windless zone in the first half of the Grand Route to the East China Sea.
.
Of course, the Jinyi also has the windless zone navigation technology that large warships have, although it can be more convenient, such as directly using its ability to carry the warship across the windless zone.
But that would be too troublesome, so it would be better to sail it in the sea.
This time he didn't bring many people with him. In addition to Lida and Crowe, he only brought Platycodon and Sazil. The navy brought 1,500 people.
An ordinary large warship has 800 people, and the full complement can reach 1,000, but 300 people can maintain the basic operation of a large warship.
The Jin Ni can't do that. The Jin Ni is not an ordinary sailing ship, but a steam ship. There are many fortresses on the ship. A huge ship that can accommodate 3,000 people requires at least a thousand people to operate.
Cass and Wilbur took away a thousand people during the escort. Normally, the navy that stayed in G-3 had to patrol and escort, and a lot of personnel had to be left behind, but they still seemed nervous.
The basic patrol ship is not too big, using one large warship plus two medium warships, or just medium warships, but the number of personnel is also very tight.
G-3 like him is already the fortress with the largest number of personnel besides the new headquarters and Marinevando. The navy number is as high as 5,000, and it still seems very nervous.
You can imagine how nervous the other naval branches are. In the Grand Line, a branch can only use one cruise, and the number of people is about the same. Unless they are not left behind, it can be seen that the personnel on the sea are also quite tight, especially after the Great Pirates era.
It’s quite an overwhelming trend.
At this time, we are at the dining hall of the Golden Horse.
The cafeteria is divided into four floors. The first floor is where ordinary navy soldiers eat, with the largest number of people. The second floor is where lieutenant-level sailors eat, and there are many people. The third floor is where school-level officers eat.
G-3 used to have no generals except Clow, but it became a place where Clow's cronies ate. Now, after the transition, Clow and Lida have been promoted to major generals, but they are also used to eating.
Yes, if you really want to have a private party, there are private rooms in the cafeteria.
Moreover, Lida would often go up to the fourth floor to eat.
The fourth floor is where Kuro eats alone.
At this time, in the room in the Fourth City, Kuro was cutting a juicy steak with a knife and fork. In front of him was a large amount of delicacies made from Platycodon. There was also a bottle of red wine next to him. Next to him, there was already
There are about ten more plates.
Kuro's appetite is not small, and it is normal to eat more than ten empty plates in one meal. However, at this time, he was holding the knife and fork there with his eyes closed, and a vein gradually appeared on his forehead.
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
Because next to him, there was a pile of plates piled high, and a short white-haired lolita was eating frantically there, with her hands like afterimages, making the food on the table gradually less and less.
"Lida!!"
Kuro couldn't help it anymore, he slammed down the hand holding the knife and fork, turned around and shouted: "How many times have I told you not to make any noise when eating? Who taught you this!"
"ah"
Lida paused, glanced at Kuro, and then continued stuffing food.
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
"enough!"
Kuro held his forehead in pain, leaned back on the chair, and sighed: "I finally enjoyed a break to eat. If you want to eat, go ahead and eat. Why do you always come to me?"
Boom!
At this time, there was a loud noise outside, and Kuro turned his head and looked over. He also had floor-to-ceiling windows on the fourth floor. He could just see the calm and stagnant sea outside, and there appeared a beast as big as a golden leopard.
The sea beast, but soon, an afterimage passed by, and a ball of blood exploded, and the sea beast was cut into several pieces.
The half-human wolf transformed by Crowe landed on the body of the sea beast and licked his paws.
"Oh? This thing looks a bit like a fish."
Kuro took a closer look at the size of the sea beast. It looked like a leopard, but also looked a bit like a fish. It was still white all over, so he said to Lida:
"Don't eat it, let Platycodon go and get the roe out of this thing, and have some caviar to eat."
The sea beasts on the sea are very strange, especially the sea kings, which are huge in size, come in many types, are numerous in number, have various appearances, have long lifespans, and are extremely ferocious.
But, it's also delicious.
For this kind of fish, Kuro can tell at a glance whether it has the characteristics of an anchovy or is white. The caviar of an albino anchovy is very delicious.
There are always particularly good parts of the Neptune species in the windless zone. Even if some are highly poisonous, you can always find the most delicious parts.
But you can't stay here for long. The smell of blood from the dead sea beast will attract the sea kings.
One or two is easy to talk about, but if there are more than ten at once, Clowna will have no choice but to send the ship flying into the sky.
Once a dozen or so appear, it will no longer be the same thing. There will definitely be a large number of Neptunes in the future. It is best to avoid messing with these kinds of things.
"I see."
Lida nodded, swept away the food on the table like a storm, covered her stuffed mouth and ran out.
Cullo touched in his arms, took out the cigar box decorated with gold patterns, and took out a cigar.
He was afraid that he would never find this thing again, so he saved it and smoked it. After taking this one, he still had six more.
But now that he has found someone, Kuro doesn't care anymore.
"call"
After lighting the cigar, he exhaled a stream of white steam-like smoke and smacked his lips: "It's really exciting, but it's a pity that he's a pirate."
In front of the World Government and the Navy, nothing is undetectable, the only difference is the amount of power used.
It is estimated that in just a few days, Kuro will be able to get the information he wants. No matter how well you hide it, he can find it out for him.
joke!
He had been in the East China Sea for so many years, but he had also been turned upside down!
When he was at the headquarters, some people began to jokingly ask him how many pirates he had killed in the East China Sea.
Of course it is impossible for Clow to admit this kind of thing, but it shows a phenomenon that some things can be inferred without evidence.
As long as the pirate named William did something, there will be traces. If there are traces, you can deduce it.
Then the next question is whether his inference is big or not, it depends on how Kuro deals with him.
If the influence is benign, Cullo will simply ask him to buy cigar making methods, or buy his products directly.
If the impact is not very good
Excuse me.
The helplessness I have endured in this world must be endured by you, you cannot escape it!
