Codex Pirates

Chapter two hundred and eighty first

What happened next seemed to be exactly as Sherlock had imagined.

The mouse received the news from the Navy Headquarters that the fleet led by two lieutenant generals was going to investigate the sea area where "Golden Lion" Shiji descended, that is to say, they were going to the Kingdom of Navia.

It didn't take long for the mouse to rely on his contacts in the Great Airway to inquire again. It seems that the two lieutenant generals came this time not to track down William's affairs. On the contrary, they may also undertake the task of recruiting William. The arrival of Donghai caused a lot of trouble in Donghai, and William is the hero who saved them in the eyes of Donghai people.

Ajin, who was also at the headquarters of the Great Route Navy, also sent information. According to his observation, the headquarters has not recently mobilized warships and manpower on a large scale.

Moreover, according to what Ajin said, recently, the high-level officials of the Navy Headquarters have actually been quite critical of the current "Shichibukai under the King". Pirates emerge in endlessly and have to rely on the strength of other criminals.

The seven big pirates correspond to the seven routes in the first half of the great sea route. The so-called privateering license does not allow the Qiwuhai to loot the world government alliance countries and legal merchant ships at will, but allows them to plunder "undeveloped areas"—that is, there is no Countries that have joined the World Government, as well as other pirate counterparts.

That's why "Qiwuhai under the king" is often scolded by other pirates as running dogs of the world government. The main reason is not that they are recruited by the world government. After all, for many pirates who are chased by the government and the navy all day long, This is the treatment they dreamed of, and the reason why they are hated is that they have become the targets of the Qibukai's robbery.

Because of this, according to the vision of the world government, if the Shichibukai can guard the seven routes, it will be able to effectively restrain the pirates entering the great route from the four seas.

But this is only a theoretical matter. Pirates are pirates after all. They will not completely follow the orders of the world government and the navy. A leader who has done many evil things, and finally let the world government who recruited them bear the notoriety.

Among them, Don Quixote Doflamingo, who provoked conflicts in neighboring countries, and Moonlight Moria, who kept using the fruit ability to plunder the shadows of others, are the most.

The high-level navy has always wanted to abolish the titles of the two Shichibukai, and replace them with two "dutiful" pirates like Crocodile.

Perhaps this time, the Navy came just to invite William to become the new Qibukai.

However, no matter what the real purpose of the navy is, William is prepared for the worst. In addition to the original layout in the East China Sea, even the things he needs on Melville Island have been emptied, and even the Golden Lion Skee's body and his sword were recovered.

The two swords "Sakura Ten" and "Dead Wood" were presented to Aramis and Edmond respectively by William, and Shiki's body was preserved by William.

The obvious reason for William to keep Shiji's body is to deter other enemies who want to invade the East China Sea in the future, but in fact he knows in his heart that the real reason for his decision is like a hunter hitting a brown bear or Lions, they can't help but hang their heads in their homes, out of a desire to show off and keep their trophies.

William is not without pride in being able to kill a legendary pirate like Shiji the Golden Lion.

Such an idea would never arise in William who was born in a peaceful society or at the beginning of time travel.

...

The Navy Headquarters has special warships that can freely travel through the calm zone, so they came to the East China Sea very quickly.

Colonel Mouse has been whispering in William's ear these days. He hopes that William can become the "King Shichibukai", because according to the regulations of the World Government, when a person becomes the "King Shichibukai", his subordinates will routinely transfer the previous exonerated from guilt.

William was coping with it on the surface, but in fact, after the navy arrived in the East China Sea, his inner vigilance had been raised to the highest level, and the information from the Fifth Office of Commercial Affairs was sent to his study like snowflakes every day.

After the two warships of the headquarters arrived in the East China Sea, they did not go straight to Kalmar City, William's base camp. It seemed that the main purpose was really for the Golden Lion Shiji. They immediately went to the island where Melville had landed and surrounding areas After patrolling the sea area, he slowly drove to Kalmar City, preparing to meet William, the "hero" who resisted Shiji at a critical moment and saved the East China Sea.

The wharf in Kalmar City was crowded with people. The last time there were so many people at the wharf was when the Tianlong people arrived. People had already learned about the upcoming arrival of the navy from the newspapers in the East China Sea, and they were looking forward to the arrival of the navy.

Although the Golden Lion Shiji has already been solved by William, the navy in this department is like the policeman in the movie of William's previous life. It was "late" at the last moment, but it is better to be late than never. In people's hearts, the navy The World Government and the World Government still have supreme authority. At the very least, they can always help solve the monsters near Melville and other islands, right?

In addition, William also took Crowe, Edmund, and Crick, who had just made contributions and was reused by him, to wait at the pier. Besides them, there were also many cadres with strong combat capabilities, as well as those close to him. The elite of the guards, there are several warships waiting for orders in the nearby sea area, ready to block the dock at any time.

And on several high-rise buildings in the distance, there are still a few snipers headed by Jesus Bu in ambush. As long as there is something wrong with the navy that came this time, William will not hesitate to attack.

In fact, if it weren't for the gesture made by the navy this time, which seemed to be trying to appease him, William would have started a war as soon as they entered the East China Sea.

It is worth mentioning that Dampier, whom William regards as a think tank, as well as the loyal Harden, and Aramis, who is in charge of the fifth business department, were not present. They were behind William.

"The navy is here."

The phone bug in Crowe's hand, under the watchful eyes of William and other cadres, said loudly.

Not long after the phone bug finished speaking, the two warships crossing the calm belt appeared in the sight of everyone at the pier.

At the same time, on the bow deck of the warship, stood a young but gray-haired naval officer. He was shirtless, with only a white coat on the outermost part. There was a huge "justice" on the back. Character.

There were many cigars in the coat pocket. Obviously, this officer was very addicted to smoking. Even when he smoked cigars, he held two cigars in his mouth at the same time, and the smoke was lingering when he breathed.

The white-haired officer looked away from a clipper ship that had been following them in the distance. The sparks on the cigar butt became brighter under his sucking, and then he blew out a smoke ring:

"It seems that what the newspaper said is correct, what a daring bastard pirate."
