From Admiral to the Gotei 13

The Kingdom of Arcas is a powerful country in the East China Sea, and there are many islands under its command.

But I don't know if Xindu is more ostracized, or is it wary, in short, the island where it is located is the edge island of the Akas Kingdom, and the island is not big, there is almost no population on it, just some homeless people live, from a distance, the whole island is basically a primitive feeling.

By this time, Diarmuid's warship had already seen the island at sea level.

On the deck of the warship, Diarmuid sat on the edge of the deck with a fishing rod in his hand, fishing.

Not far away, Ace, who can only climb, crawls around on the deck, and Karp is chasing and playing behind with a grimace, not feeling tired at all.

He was not afraid that Ace would fall under the warship, and looking at his posture with children, Diarmuid felt deeply sad for Dorag, who did not know where he was.

He must have been lucky to be able to grow so big and not be killed by Karp halfway.

I heard that children who love to laugh are not too lucky, and I don't know if Dorag likes to laugh or not?

When the sea breeze blew, Diarmuid's rod shook, and he jerked upward, pulling a large fish from under the sea, and a smile on his face.

"The East China Sea is really peaceful, we haven't met pirates all this way, which is incredible in this era of pirates..."Diarmuid said with a smile as he removed the fish from the hook.

It was really peaceful, he crossed the first half of the Great Voyage from the South Windless Belt, and arrived at the North Windless Belt, during which he didn't know how many pirates he encountered, but he swept them all away anyway.

But after passing through the North Wind Belt and entering the East China Sea, not a single pirate has ever seen it.

"After all, the East China Sea is a symbol of peace, and it is also what our navy focuses on, so naturally we can't let any chaos happen in this sea area..."

"Yes, a symbol of peace," Diarmuid sighed, then looked at the hob behind him.

I'm afraid that in the past two years, he hasn't run to the East China Sea, and I have the impression that a few years ago, Karp had to go back to the East China Sea for a while.

With a full-level boss like him, he is always running around in the novice village, even if there can be any powerful guys in the East China Sea, it is estimated that they will all be nipped in the bud by this bastard.

"However, when I heard about the corruption problem in the East China Sea Navy, it seems that it is getting more serious. A look of disgust flashed in Karp's eyes.

Diarmuid also nodded and said: "Although the headquarters side, the generals have focused on rectifying these problems, but the wave of the pirate era is also destroying the results, on the one hand, the increase in pirates will disrupt the order, on the other hand, it will also increase the people's dependence on our navy, and in this case, the navy of the branch will 'swell', so as to quickly become corrupt and degenerate, which is also reasonable..."

After a slight pause, Diarmuid said again: "Maybe this is also in dire straits, but without those bastards and corrupt branch navy, it is not only in dire straits, it will face hell on earth." "

Karp listened to this, and his eyes were also a little helpless.

What Diarmuid said is also true, this kind of corruption, of course, is not good, but in this chaotic era, it can still survive.

Look at the first half of the Great Voyage and look at the New World, where the real hell on earth is.

Queen of Spring Island, the famous tourist island, was prosperous before the era of the pirates began, and now, it has been slaughtered...

Fortunately, the navy has subdued the lost ground and re-established order on Queen Spring Island, but even so, it won't be able to recover in a few years.

In comparison, although the East China Sea is also in dire straits, at least it is still alive...

Therefore, no matter how degenerate order is, it is order in the end, but chaos is the real evil. Diarmuid said suddenly.

Karp didn't answer, but looked into the distance and said, "Here, the two of us are here to discuss these issues, it doesn't make much sense, let's go and find your knife quickly." "

"Although theoretically we will have to wait a few days for the red full moon to appear before we can get the heart, let's go to the island first. Diarmuid also stood up and looked at the small island in front of the warship.

Although Karp is not a sword master, he has not used this thing much, anyway, he grew up listening to the legend of Xindu, as a native of the East China Sea, of course he is also very interested in Xindu.

Therefore, after handing Ace over to the care of the navy on the warship, he also landed on the island with Diarmuid.

I have the impression that this island should have a town or village maintained by shrine maidens.

But the Seven Star Swords have become Xindu, and this impression is of course useless.

There are no formal villages or towns on the island at all, just relying on a natural harbor, where a group of homeless people huddle together to keep warm, build a few wooden houses, and enclose them with wooden fences, which are not lifeless and have no vitality at all.

A few of the homeless people behind the wooden fence looked at him and the other navy with wary and fearful eyes, and Diarmuid and Karp did not bother them.

The two of them immediately crossed the homeless settlement and walked towards the mountain.

There was no need for a guide or anything like that, and Stussy's information to Diarmoud was clear.

And looking up the hill from here, you can indeed see a huge altar halfway up the mountain.

At this time, the altar has experienced a hundred years of wind and rain, and it is very messy, but from a distance, there is still a little mysterious atmosphere.

"Have you ever been to this island?" said Diarmuid and Karp as they walked.

"I haven't been here, speaking of which, although the people of the East China Sea should have heard the story of Xindu, but there should be few people who have been to this island, after all, there is nothing on this island, there is just a story, there is no value, who would be a normal person to come here? and Xindu itself has ominous signs... Does anyone have a big heart like you and me when they have nothing to do?" Karp said, waving his hand.

"That's right. Diarmuid laughed.

It's like the province where you were in your previous life, you heard that there was nothing in a certain horn, there was a legend of a ghost story, this story is very famous, you have heard it since you were a child, and you can still say a seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, eight, but the vast majority of people will not run to see the horn in person, one is unlucky, and the other is unnecessary.

The further up the hill became, the darker the aura became, much to the surprise of both Diarmuid and Karp.

"Is there any curse?" said Diarmuid.

"Maybe the mountains are not good, the humidity is too heavy, so it feels dark. Karp said a little unconvinced.

"No wonder there's no one living in this damn place. Diarmuid said with a smile.

If you stay here for a while, you won't be able to run away from rheumatism or something.

While talking nonsense, while climbing the mountain, both of them were strong men with strong physical strength, and soon arrived in front of the huge altar.

The whole altar is very exaggerated, from a distance, you can't see the doorway, walk in, this huge altar, it is a whole, carved out of a boulder.

"Look, don Quixote's family crest!" Karp suddenly pointed to the ground in the center of the altar.

Diarmuid followed Karp's finger and saw a pattern with intricate patterns, he didn't know what the family crest of the Draconians was, and he didn't know whether it was true or false.

But what Karp said is so sure, it is estimated that it should be true.

"It seems that the legend seems to be true, more than two hundred years ago, there was a Celestial Dragon named Don Quixote Claudius, who once reigned in the world?" asked Diarmuid with some curiosity.

Karp nodded and said: "There is indeed a saying about this, it seems to be true, it is said that Claudius is a very unique Draconian, and he has a very good relationship with our navy, in that era, the strength of the world government was unprecedentedly strong, and even conquered the new world for a time..."

"Really?" Diarmuid smacked his lips, and then asked again as he walked up to the altar, "Speaking of which, have you heard of Im?"

He had never heard of Don Quixote Claudius before, and he had the impression that the head of the world government should be the mysterious Lord Imu.

The five old stars are going to kneel down and kowtow in front of him.

Now that he suddenly heard about Don Quixote Claudius and other first-class people, he faintly doubted that Lord Imu... Could it be the so-called Claudius Saint?

"What Imu?" Karp said for a moment.

I don't know if this guy is reluctant to say it, or if he really doesn't know, Diarmuid smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing." "

The altar was empty, and there was nothing, so Diarmuid and Karp scattered, looking around for traces of the heart.

In a few moments, Karp's loud voice began to shout.

"Diarmud, come and see, there's a situation here!"

Hearing this, Diarmuid also hurried towards Karp's side.

It is a large stone statue in human form obscured by vines.

Even after more than 100 years of wind and rain, you can still find a trace of handsomeness from this stone statue.

"The stone statue has Don Quixote's coat of arms, and if nothing else, this should be the statue of Claudius?" Karp said, touching his chin.

Diarmuid nodded, did not speak, and looked away from the stone statue and placed it in front of the stone statue.

Here's what Karp is talking about.

In front of the stone, there is a knife holder, and on this knife holder, there is a knife, the scabbard is dark, but faintly exudes a dark emerald green, unlike the stone statue, it seems that it has not been eroded by more than a hundred years of wind and rain.

Not even a speck of dust was left on it.

Just the scabbard, it gives people a shocking feeling, because it is too delicate, at first glance, it is dark black with a little dark green, but if you look closely, you can see the scabbard, carved with exquisite patterns, and then look carefully, you will find that it is a landscape map, there are mountains and rivers, there are dragons and tigers, there are leopards and deer, the momentum is magnificent.

"It's a luxury, just this scabbard is priceless. Diarmuid said softly.

"The jade on the hilt is the best I've ever seen. Karp said, staring at the hilt.

That's right, the handle is also very high-grade, wrapped in silk cloth, dark gold rope layers of rope, two pieces of the same size, perfect color jade stone fell on both sides, not big or small, no sense of abruptness, perfect integration in the handle.

"This is supposed to be the legend... Demon Knife Heart, right?" Diarmuid sighed, then reached out and grabbed the hilt.

But just as his palm was about to touch Xindu, a powerful force instantly erupted from around Xindu, and bounced his palm away.

A flash of surprise flashed in Diarmuid's eyes, and at this time, the surroundings of Xindu changed again.

There are three phantoms, surrounding the knife.

If you look closely, one of the phantoms, exactly like the carving of the short knife hanging from the waist of the stone statue, should be the saber of Don Quixote Claudius, right?

And the other two phantoms, one is a terrifying battle axe, just looking at it, it is terrifying, like a big killing weapon, and the other is a heavy long-handled war hammer, majestic.

"What is this? This is the seal of Xindu?" said Diarmuid in surprise, and at the same time tried to stretch out his hand, and sure enough, as soon as he got closer, he was blocked by an invisible force.

The tomahawks, daggers, and hammers seemed to be ready to turn into reality and smash directly on his Diarmuid.

"Try it harder!" Karp urged.

Diarmuid thought for a moment, but shook his head and said, "What if the knife is broken if it is forced? "

As soon as Karp heard the same truth, he stopped urging.
