Chapter 36 I'm Sorry
The thick clouds in the sky fluttered rapidly with the fierce wind, and the dark clouds pressed down by the layers looked like hungry predators watching the sea.
Captain Crohn looked up at the sunless sky and murmured, "...the rain is coming."
Colonel Crohn's adjutant, Captain Danitz, stood by his side and reminded him: "Sir, the time is almost up, and the ship 'The Fierce Chain' will arrive at the sea area near the entrance of the Upside Down Mountain in at most 0 minutes, the wind direction is opposite. They benefit."
Colonel Crohn smiled wryly: "Even if they arrive, what can we do? The order from the headquarters is very clear—don't provoke the 'evil chain' and let them enter the great route."
Crohn was very unwilling. His best chance to return to the headquarters was to go to the great route so swaggeringly.But I still have to stay in this barren West Sea, and it is very likely that I will stay for a lifetime.
He has to do something.
At this time, bursts of exclamations came from the watchtower.
"It's coming! It's the ship of 'The Chain'!"
"Too fast! How can there be such a fast ship! There are still 10 minutes... no, at most minutes, the 'Vicious Chain' will arrive in the nearby waters!"
Kron walked quickly to the edge of the deck, and the two-masted schooner that hit the 'bad chain' could already be vaguely seen with the naked eye on the sea level in the distance.
What a speed!This dark blue schooner sails through the waves like a flying fish between the crests.
Kron narrowed his eyes, this draft... Didn't they bring any supplies?No, not only the necessary survival supplies, this ship even has very few artillery pieces!
This is no longer too confident in oneself but pure stupidity, Mafia Victor?The sea is not a playground, don't you, the son of a fisherman, understand that?
Crohn thought about it again and figured out something was wrong. Based on past actions, Mafia Victor is not the kind of reckless man who is blindly confident. Could it be that... he used the ability of the zipper fruit to store all the supplies in the zipper space?
Damn it, why didn't the navy realize that the zipper fruit was such a powerful combat auxiliary dual-cultivation devil fruit!
In fact, the Navy cannot be blamed for this.It was a coincidence that Colonel Marvin ate this fruit. Although he later reported the fruit's ability and previous appearance, it only took a short month to eat the fruit and his own talent was limited. Marvin was only developing the fruit. Out of the logistical ability of material storage.
Originally, the Navy Headquarters planned to call him to play a role in the logistics force. Unexpectedly, before the transfer order arrived, Marvin encountered the notorious "Bronze Apple" pirate group, and died tragically at the hands of "Bronze Tooth" Shulaig.The chain-chain fruit also disappeared above the sea.
No one thought that the Lianlian fruit would reappear in such a shocking gesture.
The boat was getting closer.
On the deck of the Beagle, Victor stroked the railing and controlled the sail with the zipper.Under his control, the Beagle slowed down and gradually approached several naval warships guarding the entrance of the Upside Down Mountain.
"Good afternoon, Colonel Crohn." Victor smiled and greeted the middle-aged marine on the deck of the battleship opposite.
"I didn't expect that the 'bad chain' who has been in the limelight recently knows the name of an ordinary navy colonel like me?" Kron's eyes narrowed even more.He had never dealt with this zipper man face to face, but the other party recognized him at a glance.
Has he already investigated himself?
Before he could think about it, Victor said with a smile, "I'm also living in Alghero town, how can I not know the chief of the 91st Navy branch."
Crohn smiled irrefutably, and asked, "I don't know where Mr. Mafia wants to go? The town of Alghero is not in this direction."
"Some words are too plain to listen to, Mr. Crohn." Victor's smile dropped slightly, obviously a little tired of Crohn's ignorance: "Are you sure you want to stop me?"
Kron forced himself to be calm, and said loudly: "I know you are very powerful, 'Father Chain'. But now the battlefield is on the sea, and two of the three of you have eaten Devil Fruits, even if you can survive under the fire of these three warships Save your life, can you survive at sea?"
Victor sneered, stretched the five fingers of his right hand, and twisted his wrist, five golden chain blades were quickly connected to the hulls of the three naval battleships.
"Metal zipper · five-stringed lute · puppet ballad!"
Everything was starting to feel wrong to Kron and the sailors.
First it was the cables who initiated the treachery.
All the cables began to fidget and break free from the hands of the sailors.They were horrified to find that the cables were gradually stained with a metallic color and twisted and wriggled like pythons.
The adjutant, Captain Danitz, immediately ordered the bombardment of the Beagle, but there was no movement. He ran to the lower warehouse and saw that all the artillery had begun to be assimilated by the zippers and could not fire any shells at all.
I don't know who shouted 'Devil fruit abilities are afraid of sea water! ', the sailors hurriedly scooped up sea water and poured it on the cannons and cables.But nothing worked except to completely extinguish the cannon fire.
The sailors raised their muskets and wanted to fight back, but they were all bound upside down by the betrayed cables and hung upside down from the mast.Guns and swords were scattered on the deck clattering.Only Colonel Crohn was left intact on the deck.
Colonel Crohn stood on the edge of the deck with a livid face, the knuckles of his fingers gripping the railing were turning white.
shame! Is there anything more shameful than to plunder a navy's ships in his presence? This damn gangster!
The cables were slowly coiled around the necks of the sailors. With just a thought from Victor, hundreds of sailors would be hanged miserably on their own battleships.
"...I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue just now. We are only preventing criminals from forcibly crossing the Upside Down Mountain. Mr. Victor, you are obviously not on the list.... Please be merciful."
Kron bowed slightly in humiliation, and apologized to Victor.
"Mr. Crohn, what are you talking about? I was just joking with everyone." Victor smiled slightly, curled his right hand, and retracted the five chain blades instantly. The cables on the battleship also returned to calm, and all the naval soldiers fell on the deck.
After being awakened by Moonlight Moriah's words, Victor really understood why his chain-chain fruit was rated as a special superhuman fruit by the special knowledge-colored domineering 'Apocalypse'.Not only because it has the three abilities of 'superhuman', 'super power' and 'super creation' at the same time, but more importantly, it is born with the ability of semi-awakening!Once in contact, you can arbitrarily open the chain and manipulate non-living objects.And the zipper itself is not afraid of the effects of sea water and sea building stones, unless the two directly touch one's own body.
The three battleships gave way towards the entrance of the Upside Down Mountain.Under the silent gaze of the naval soldiers, the Beagle raised its sails again and headed straight for the entrance of the Upside Down Mountain.
When the warship where Kron was on the wrong ship, Victor said to him with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Kron, I'm just going for a ride on the great route. It won't be long before I get tired of playing and I will come back. At that time, let's have a good time." Have a drink! Goodbye!"
The Beagle gradually accelerated and sailed out of this sea area.
The adjutant, Captain Danitz, was unwilling to give up. He walked to Colonel Crohn and whispered: "Sir, do you want to use some means against the 'Coral' people who stayed in the West Sea?"
Kron shook his head, sighed and said: "Forget it, just follow what the department said, don't provoke him. Don't you understand what he meant just now? Once we touch his people, he will not let him go." Ours. Besides, we have no suitable reason... Such a monster cannot be trapped by the West Sea in the first place, so let the generals of the headquarters of the Great Airway have a headache for him!"
Crohn still doesn't understand why Victor, who severely slapped the World Government in the face, was not offered a reward, and even the navy's internal simulated reward was cancelled.
But this is nothing he can worry about anymore.
"...Go back to the town of Alghero. I'm craving a baked cheese bagel from 'Simon Cheese Ring'."
