Chapter 118: On the third day of building a home in the new world, I put down the Abigail...
The third day of building a new home in the new world:
While the war correspondents diligently brought back information, newspapers revealing Wendy's identity as a player were also scattered across the country.
Of course, each side reacted differently.
Along with the newspapers received by the Red Hair Pirates, there also arrived a letter from the Whitebeard Pirates.
"It's faster than I thought... The World Government." Shanks put down the newspaper, looked down, and couldn't help but smile. "That Hawkeye guy really cares about Wendy..."
"Now's not the time to laugh, is it, Boss?" Beckman turned the wanted poster in his hand, showing him Wendy's impressive 3 billion bounty. "Shouldn't we go get them?"
"Relax, Baker. Wendy has a bounty of 3 billion. She's not that weak. And we don't even know where she is right now..."
At this moment, someone came running to report: "Boss, someone from Whitebeard's side is here to deliver a letter!"
Shanks was stunned, and he and Beckman exchanged a glance, each seeing confusion in the other's eyes - Whitebeard's men, when the two pirate groups clearly had no conflict or communication, were looking for them at this time...
"...Is it Wendy?"
"Probably."
"Why did you go over there?"
"Hahaha, now that I think about it, Hawkeye must have a very hard time."
The person who helped deliver the letter for Whitebeard came and indeed brought news about Wendy's situation.
"I see. Thank you for taking care of Wendy. I'm sorry she's causing you trouble. I'll send someone to pick her up." Shanks replied with a smile, turning to look at Beckman. "Beck, I have a favor to ask of you."
It would not be easy for him to go out easily. After all, if he went to Whitebeard's territory, it would mean that the two Four Emperors would meet, which would easily attract the attention of the World Government and cause a commotion, which would not be good.
But we can't just send anyone... because Wendy is too unpredictable, and we must be able to control the situation.
"I understand," Beckman replied, a look of annoyance on his face. "Just so you know, I'm not completely sure I can control the situation."
At the same time, on the side of the revolutionary army——
"Something happened with Wendy and Mihawk!" Sabo stood up suddenly and was about to rush out when he was stopped by Haku.
"Sabo! Calm down! It's too late for you to go over now, and Miss Wendy and Hawkeye are both very strong, so you may not be able to help much!" Haku consoled him, "Isn't Red Hair there to help? With the power of the Four Emperors, Miss Wendy will definitely be fine."
"No, Haku, you don't understand! You don't know my mother!" Sabo frowned, his tone a little anxious, "She's just like Luffy, she won't do things according to plan at all! She's not really with Red Hair right now, and Mihawk isn't watching her, so she could be anywhere, even to the Marine Headquarters!"
Haku: "..." How come I can understand every word but not the whole sentence? The tone doesn't sound like she's worried about the mother, but more like she's worried about the child... What's going on with your parent-child relationship?
Although he recalled Wendy's excited look at putting down the pancake boat and waving goodbye to everyone, he could also understand...
"Don't say that, Haku. Sabo is also worried about his family." A woman with short pink hair walked in with a smile on her face. "So, Sabo, let me go over and help!"
"Ginny..."
"Why are you here? How's Bonnie doing?"
"Wendy introduced us to a very good doctor. Big Bear took her to the North Sea to seek treatment." Ginny looked at Sabo, "Wendy is our family's benefactor. Of course, we have to do our part!"
"Don't act rashly." A voice sounded, and Long walked in with a calm expression.
"dragon!"
"leader!"
"But Chief..."
"Sabo's concerns are justified... and that's why, Sabo, you don't actually know where Wendy is, right?" Long replied calmly, "Can't you contact Wendy? Why not give her a call first?"
Sabo then remembered that he still had one hour of parent-child time every day... He had been so busy with the Revolutionary Army's affairs recently that he had almost forgotten this.
He immediately contacted Wendy using Den Den Mushi: "Wendy! Where are you now... Hey? Whitebeard's territory? Why... Yeah, okay, I get it... What was that sound just now!... Huh? I see, it's okay... I get it, just be careful."
After hanging up the phone, Sabo was silent for a long while before turning around and replying to everyone, "Wendy said she was at Whitebeard's place before, and is now driving the Pluto to pick up Mihawk."
Everyone: “……?”
At the same time, the warships heading to Kraikana Island were stopped.
Blocking their way were several pirate ships.
"...What's going on?" The CP0 members on the warship frowned. "We don't have time to deal with these pirates right now. Leave them alone for now."
A subordinate rushed in anxiously, "Sir! They claim to be supporters of the players, saying that issuing a bounty on them is a declaration of war against them!"
"...Hmm? According to our investigation, Wendy Carter doesn't have any subordinate forces of her own..." The CP0 member paused mid-sentence, a look of realization on his face. "Are they the supporters who escaped from the Sabaody Archipelago?"
The player did not have her own power, but the group of slaves she had liberated before included all kinds of people, including many pirates. Later, she had a group of loyal believers in the Sabaody Archipelago... Although they also tried to capture them, many people still escaped.
"Interesting... Do you think you have a backer?" The corners of the CP0 member's mouth slowly curled up, revealing a slightly gloomy smile. "Then let's deal with them first and then go on."
Anyway, the vanguard has already passed by, and these warships are not meant to deal with Hawkeye...
On those pirate ships, a group of people were holding weapons and shouting.
"It's time to repay the player's kindness!"
"It was the player who gave me rebirth and freedom! My life originally belonged to her! Now I will not fear death!"
"We're not doing this for rewards, we're simply doing this for justice! Everyone, charge! Buy some time for the player!"
And in the East China Sea——
"What a joke! You old man, why don't you let me go!" Ace shouted loudly.
"Just call me grandpa, you little brat!" Garp angrily punched him. "What's the point of you going over there now? Are you going to cause trouble? Wendy is being watched by Red Hair! The World Government can't catch her!"
Ace still looked unwilling: "Then I will go help Mihawk..."
"Hawkeye can handle it himself! His original bounty was 3.5 billion, even higher than Wendy's! What about you? You're just a kid who hasn't even sailed yet. If you get captured by CP0, you'll need him to rescue you!" Garp said coldly, "I came here because he asked me to keep an eye on you."
Ace was stunned and fell silent.
"Really? Wendy shouldn't have let you eat the Flame-Flame Fruit. Your temper is getting worse and worse..." Garp huffed, looking around. "By the way, where's Luffy?"
"He was just..."
"Oh no! Luffy is at the beach and wants to go out to sea by himself!"
At this moment, Garp and Ace stopped fighting and ran to the beach in a hurry. They saw Luffy paddling hard on a raft that looked familiar.
Seeing the two of them, the unfortunate child was still there, waving and shouting with a big smile on his face: "Grandpa! Ace!"
Ace: "Come back, Luffy! What did you want to do there? To get beaten?!"
Garp: "Come back here, brat! And where did you get this boat?! Don't learn nonsense from Wendy!"
***
Wendy, unaware that her education had produced significant results, was still driving the boat.
Because of the Don't Starve system's built-in mechanics, ships are fully loaded with energy and fuel when they're first built. This is why Wendy drives the Pluto so fast—she can't control it! She can't slow down at all!
As for the collision with the warship, it was truly an accident. Wendy had absolutely no control over the ship's direction. After colliding with the Moby Dick, she lashed out at the rudder, causing it to veer off course and ram into it at the speed of one of the three great ancient weapons. Uncontrollable and fueled by the warship's inherent firepower, the ship exploded, sending the sailors abandoning ship and fleeing for their lives, their stunned expressions never wavering. When they were assigned to monitor the Whitebeard Pirates, they hadn't imagined they'd be destroyed by the magnificent warship of the future Five Emperors!
Wendy saw that the ship's durability changed from 100% to 99.8%.
It turns out that it doesn't consume durability... - Wendy regrets.
But it's only a small drop, so there's nothing to worry about! — Wendy immediately straightened up again.
Marco had to work hard to catch up with her. He originally wanted to help Wendy command the ship and let her drive it herself. After all, if this battleship really belonged to Pluto, then it would be troublesome for him, as a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, to touch it...
But later he found that giving orders to Wendy was not feasible, so he had to take over the driving job himself.
It was even easy to convince the other party to let him drive. He let go as soon as Wendy was mentioned. Because he did not take over in time, the ship directly crashed into the island nearby... A small half of the island was also destroyed, but fortunately it was an uninhabited island.
Marco began to wonder, could the legendary Hades, who could destroy islands, do so in this way? It didn't feel right.
He originally just wanted to remind her, but there was no way he could do it now - because he had to teach Wendy how to drive the boat, otherwise Wendy would really have to crash all the way back... and because Wendy was so careless and trusted him too much, people with his personality started to worry about her and couldn't just give up.
Wendy was watching the News Bird flying in the sky and used Abigail to shoot it down. Because it was in group attack mode, Marco, who was driving the boat, was hit unexpectedly.
By the time Marco reacted and looked at it in confusion, Wendy had already grabbed the news bird and asked it to deliver the letter to her.
She was still explaining, "I need to tell Mihawk, after all, he asked me to go find Shanks, but I want to go home to find him."
Marco looked at the contents of the letter she wrote, was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "I think Hawkeye will be very happy."
Two days later, Marco, who had begun to worry about whether he would have to accompany Wendy to paradise, was finally able to leave Pluto and breathed a sigh of relief - but it was not because Wendy could drive the boat, but because Beckman, who learned from Whitebeard that Wendy had left on Pluto, rushed over and took over the task.
At this point, the two deputy captains of the Four Emperors' ships finally completed the handover.
Although they were not caring about their captain at all at this time.
Even Beckman was impressed—in a way, Wendy was truly remarkable. Even if it was only temporary, she had served as a mate for two of the Four Emperors.
Although there were not many people on this boat.
"Have you decided to go back? There's really no need," Beckman suggested after learning of her plan. "The World Government will soon know about your attack on Pluto. Although you don't have many subordinate troops, with Pluto, you have the capital to negotiate with them. They won't attack Kraikana Island. And Hawkeye is more than enough to handle those who go there now."
"But I want to pick up Mihawk," Wendy replied innocently.
"..." Beckman was silent for a moment, then chuckled, "There's nothing we can do about this."
This is really an impeccable answer, there is no way to stop it.
"But in that case, I can't go all the way with you... You'll need to drive yourself to the park... Forget it, why don't you take advantage of these two days to master your boating skills."
Beckman was starting to feel a bit of a headache. If he hadn't taught Wendy well in the past two days, the next time he saw her, he was afraid she would be heading straight for Mary Geoise. After all, crossing the Red Earth Continent was the only way to get to Paradise from the New World.
Just as Beckman was trying to teach Wendy how to sail properly, a new issue of the newspaper came out.
The cover headlines are sensational news: [Has Pluto Reappeared? The Fifth Emperor of the Sea is Born! Players Raid Whitebeard and Attack Navy Warships, Targeting the World Government]
The accompanying picture is a close-up of Wendy standing on Pluto, hitting the wheel crazily and laughing, with flames and destroyed warships in the background.
In the lower right corner of the newspaper is Wendy's usual world public screen message.
[Mihawk, I've dropped off the Abigail. I'll come pick you up later! —Wendy Carter]
