The True Path of Pirates

Tonight's moon seems to have come a little earlier than usual.

The soft moonlight splashed on the dark deck of the "Benjamin", making this "ferocious monster" who "single-handedly" destroyed the Whitebeard Pirates look particularly gentle.At this time, it was splitting the waves and making its way home under the cover of night.

The remaining three warships came to join it after getting rid of the pursuit, and Vicki and the others were finally able to board their own warship.Reunions and good news gathered together, and joy naturally became the only melody on the ship.

"Is this still our ship? It's incredible!"

Since boarding the ship, Vicky has become a curious baby. He looks around here and there, wishing he could put his face on the deck.

"Of course! After all, it uses the technology of 'Pluto'! In addition, dozens of us have worked hard for several years, Vicky!"

"Anilu!!"

The familiar shout suddenly turned Vicki's curiosity into surprise, and made him run towards the tall "golden afro" not far away, and then hit the man "hardly" in the stomach with his fist superior.

"I haven't seen you for a while, but you are getting more and more arrogant!"

"Yeah, yeah, I can't compare to the Lieutenant General - it hurts! You bastard!"

"Hair! My hair!"

The "blond duo" who reunited after a long separation quickly got together in a way that only belonged to them. The others couldn't help but sigh softly and looked at these two "big guys" with helpless but also very happy eyes. child".Even Archie, who has been very tired recently, "broke" his usual tense face and smiled softly...

"You two! How was the mission?"

"what!?"

"what!!"

The serious and calm voice suddenly reached the ears of Vicky and Enelu, causing them to instinctively stop playing around and stand solemnly.

And when the white coat and short pink hair appeared in front of them, the expressions on their faces invariably changed in different ways.

"Lily, I..."

"Reporting to the director, my subordinates are checking the personnel performing the task! Who would have thought that this guy - this lieutenant general would actually interfere with my normal work? It's really -"

"What the hell are you! You're spitting blood!"

"Look, look, look! Here we go again! How can my small body withstand your destruction?"

"Small body? A small body of nearly three meters?"

……

"Hey……"

Happiness always makes people tolerant.Looking at the "living treasure" who started making trouble again after a short time, even a serious person like Xiaoli couldn't help but smile. She could only shake her head helplessly and walked towards Dadi and Archie, with a look on her face. The faint smile gradually turned back to seriousness.

"This time the current injection time of the main gun is 1.58 seconds shorter than originally expected. The technical team is currently collecting various indicators and parameters and expects to find the cause of the failure within 12 hours. How are you doing there? Is the mission completed?"

"..."

Dadi glanced at Archie and frowned in confusion.Seeing that Archie had no intention of answering, he took the initiative to speak: "No, although the three captains of the opponent's squad were severely injured, the target is still alive. Our mission failed."

Hearing Dadi's voice, Aqi seemed to react.He quickly apologized to Dadi: "Ah! Sorry, sorry, it was my mistake. If I could have been earlier..."

"No, the result will not change. After all, the remaining captains of the Whitebeard Pirates have arrived. If we force a battle, the disadvantaged party will be us. But Archie... are you really okay?"

Dadi didn't mean to blame him at all, and looked at Archie with only worry in his eyes.After all, they have been together for many years, from classmates to comrades-in-arms, and they know each other so well that they can even feel each other's emotional changes.

Even Vicky, who was not far away, glanced at them thoughtfully, and the smile on his face gradually faded. The worry that had always been hidden in his eyes was finally revealed without reservation...

Facing everyone's gaze, Archie's expression finally changed. His narrowed eyes began to shake, and his mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something...

"Blu! Bru! Bru!"

Just then, the phone bug in Archie's pocket rang.

……

……

"Bru - hello! Blenheim? I'm Marco! How are you doing there?"

The phone placed on the deck of the Moby-Dick was connected to the public, and Marco's slightly anxious voice echoed on the deck, blurring the halo of the moonlight.

"Marco...this is what happened..."

In Blenheim's deep voice, Marco and his party gradually understood the truth of the matter, which made their hearts become heavier.

But Whitebeard just sat there quietly, listening silently.Bathed in the moonlight, he is like a simple statue, simple and profound...

"Now Izo and the others are out of danger, but there is no guarantee of how they will recover in the future. Everyone's morale is also relatively low - Tikki! Tikki! The captain is on the phone! Don't come in!"

The sudden change undoubtedly broke the silence of the night, and also caused everyone to come out of their deep thoughts and look at the "dancing" phone bug in confusion.Whitebeard also lowered his head and looked there, his brows gradually frowning dissatisfied with the traces of time.

"Boom! Boom! Boom - Dad! It's all my fault! I didn't protect several captains! - Boom! Boom! Boom! Please punish me!"

"Tikki! Get up!"

"Don't do this! Your head is bleeding!"

……

Fierce voices from the crowd continued to be heard from the phone worm, and a chaotic scene was "displayed" in front of Whitebeard and the others through the phone worm.Completely different from the "liveliness" at the other end, the Moby Dick bathed in the moonlight seemed so quiet, even a little cold.

Whitebeard looked at the phone bug in ecstasy. He had already "saw" the "son" who was constantly hitting his head on the ground with blood on his head to express his self-blame.This reminded Whitebeard of the scene when his "son" begged to join him decades ago, and it also made him sigh, making him look a little older.

"Get up, Tikki."

"Dad..."

"If this is the wish of Lakyo, Jin Guduo and Yi Zang, then you should uphold this partnership and repay them well in the days to come."

"Y-yes! I will!"

Teach's voice became even more trembling with excitement, and the phone bug temporarily rested.Whitebeard left his seat and walked to the bow of the ship, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

……

……

"The moon is really nice tonight..."

The full moonlight filtered through the windows of the warship, filling the unlit conference room with light.Ruiden, who was covered in injuries, was lying leisurely on the chair and seemed to be in a good mood.

"If I were you, I would definitely not have time to admire the moon right now. Instead, I would quickly make a phone call to ask about the situation!"

However, Warring States, who was drinking tea, was not as leisurely as Ruiden. Behind his glasses, which were covered by the mist of the tea, there was caution and worry that could not be eliminated.

Warring States words seemed to remind Ruiden, and also made his eyes turn from the bright moon in the sky to the phone bug on the table. After hesitating for a while, he finally smiled reluctantly, seeming to have made a difficult decision. Decision-like.

"That's right, it's time to make a call..."

Ruiden raised his hand as he spoke, and the light blue soul power flew from his fingertips to the table. He lifted the telephone bug microphone that could only dial in two directions and dialed the only number.

"Blue! Blue! Blue..."

The phone bug called unhurriedly, and Warring States put down his tea cup and waited quietly.But what he didn't see was that Ruiden, who had always been very leisurely, tensed up at this time, and his right hand tightly grasped the armrest of the seat, and even the eyes he looked at the phone bug became nervous. stand up!

"Bru! Bru-cacha!"

"Huh? Hang up?"

The phone bug suddenly stopped shouting, lowered his head and fell into sleep, which also puzzled Warring States.

"call……"

Ruiden let out a long sigh of relief, and suddenly relaxed, and slumped in his seat like soft mud.Only then did Warring States discover something strange about Redden, which made him even more confused.

"What happened, Ryden? Are you okay?"

Warring States' inquiry made Ruiden slowly open his eyes, and his whole body gradually returned to normal.

He slowly moved his body to sit up as straight as possible, and then met Sengoku's concerned eyes, his voice apologetic: "Well, I'm fine... But I'm sorry, senior, I hid something. "

"Hey... I'm used to it..."

"Haha, I've been troubling you all this time."

Ruiden lowered his head slightly and sincerely expressed respect to this hardworking old man.Then he raised his head again and looked at the moon in the sky.Warring States also followed Ruiden's line of sight and looked at this rare moonscape with him.

"Half an hour ago, people from the newspaper reported to me the battle situation on Vicki's side. There seemed to be something wrong with the new weapon designed based on 'Pluto', but it also destroyed a large number of pirate ships. Vicki and the others also Evacuated successfully."

"The newspaper office...has the news been completed?"

"Well, when daybreak comes, the battle situation will be broadcast to all parts of the world. This will also shock the pirates who have been in turmoil recently and stabilize the reform situation in the first half."

Warring States nodded: "With the Whitebeard Pirates as our opponent, and having caused such a level of battle losses to the opponent, it is inevitable that the pirates will settle down. It's just that if this 'trump card' is shown once, it will be the same in the future. There will never be another opportunity like this.”

"Yes, but the current situation is really not good for our navy. In addition to the pirates who are ready to challenge the authority at any time, the government will not allow the navy to control the first half of the great route like it controls the North Sea. In fact, There are also many hidden dangers within the navy, and we can no longer tolerate hiding them at this time..."

Speaking of this, Ruiden suddenly fell silent and just looked at Warring States with a complicated expression.And there happened to be a cloud floating in the sky, blocking the full moonlight, and darkness came instantly.

The blurry light made it difficult for Warring States to see Ruiden's face clearly, and naturally it was also difficult to distinguish his expression.However, Ruiden's voice reached Warring States' ears clearly, and even the subtle trembling was extremely clear...

"Please sign a wanted order in person. It would be best if it could be distributed with tomorrow's news... and the prisoner is the former Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters - Archie."
