As a gunshot rang out across the night sky, at the foot of the mine, Brigadier General Misli of the Navy Headquarters, who was supervising the miners to carry platinum-lead ore, raised his head slightly, shifted his gaze from the miners, and looked towards the mine.
Misli was about forty years old, his face tanned and rough from years of sailing. He had a short crew cut, a neatly trimmed beard, a solid build, and a very capable look.
Hearing the noise coming from the mine, his face turned serious and he said to the people around him:
"Lieutenant Klee, what happened on the mountain? Go and see."
As Brigadier General Misli finished speaking, a young man in military uniform, about 30 years old, standing behind him nodded slightly, then called two sergeants and hurried up the mountain along the dim mountain path.
"Misli, hurry up. After we finish mining all the platinum and lead ore on this island, we can return to Beehive Island."
"You've done such a great deed. Captain Wang Zhi can't wait to meet you."
"I'd like to congratulate you in advance! You're about to become the captain of Honeycomb Island Ship No. 15!"
Beside Misli stood a shirtless, muscular man, nearly four meters tall. On his back was a golden, double-edged axe, which shone brightly under the searchlight.
The man smiled as he spoke, and his voice seemed a little low.
The burly man is named Suti Rayman, who is in his fifties. He is a pirate with a bounty of 330 million. He is from Beehive Island and is one of the important cadres directly under the Great Pirate King. He is called "Golden Axe" Rayman by people on the sea.
Suti Rayman is very satisfied with his title, because when he was a pirate in the Rocks Pirates in his early years, there was a pirate called "Silver Axe" on the same ship. Rayman thought that his ability was not inferior to the other party, and his title had the meaning of suppressing the other party.
Um!
Gold is more valuable than silver. So Suti Leiman is naturally stronger than that damn silver axe!
"Just two more days and it will be almost done."
"Soon."
"I also want to thank Captain Wang Zhi for his appreciation and for giving me this opportunity!"
Misli behaved very humbly when facing Suti Rehman. He looked like a calm and serious senior naval commander, but when facing the pirate Suti Rehman, he actually showed a flattering smile.
"Misli, what are you talking about!"
"You've brought something so important to Beehive Island. I can't thank you enough."
"But Captain Wang Zhi really thinks highly of you and directly made you the captain of Ship No. 15."
"All of a sudden, you became a big shot on Beehive Island!"
"It's much more enjoyable and free than being a commodore!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Suti Leiman seemed very satisfied with Misli's attitude, and was also polite and respectful. Then Suti Leiman seemed to have thought of something, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked:
"Hey, Misley, did you catch those two rats that sneaked into Frefans?"
"Do you need my help?!"
"If you need help, please don't hesitate. We're all family now!"
Suti Rehman learned that there were invaders in Frevans, and she took it very seriously.
Beehive Island is one of the superpowers standing in the New World. There are countless pirates entrenched on the island, some of whom are even from the Rocks Pirates' ship back then, and they are extremely powerful.
Although Suti Lehman's bounty is not too high, that is only because he has been dormant on Honeycomb Island for many years and has not gone out to sea to do anything "personally" for many years. His true strength cannot be represented by this bounty.
But even so, Suti Lehman attached great importance to the actions of the Navy Headquarters, fearing that his whereabouts would be exposed and attract a powerful navy to encircle him.
This is the North Sea, the territory of the Navy and the World Government. The Navy may not take some small pirates seriously, but if the Navy learns of his whereabouts, it will definitely attract strong forces to encircle and suppress him.
"Golden Axe" Suti Lehman participated in the battle in the Valley of Gods that year.
The more one understands the World Government and the Navy, the more they fear their strength.
Suti Rehman was very cautious about the navy.
"Just two mice."
"Those two people can't escape this island. I've already told my subordinates to block this island from the outside world."
"Even if those two people were not dead, there would be no way to pass the message on."
"By the time we finish our work, we will have already left here. By then, even if they spread the information, it won't have a big impact on us."
"and"
"Even if headquarters knew about this, they probably wouldn't have the time to take care of our affairs right now."
"So, Mr. Suti Lehman, just rest assured!"
Brigadier General Misli said confidently that he was not too concerned about the navy's landing on the island. Seeing Misli's expression, Suti Leiman also smiled:
"Haha, I hope you can handle it."
Ever since Yoriichi Tsugakuni revealed the way to Raftel to the world through the newspaper owned by Morgans, it was not only the pirates and ordinary people who hoped to change their fate whose ambitions were ignited.
Even some people within the navy themselves were aroused by desire.
Misli is one of them.
He is a brigadier general of the Navy Headquarters. He is already in his forties and still only a brigadier general. In fact, he has reached the end of his career in the Navy.
His potential for "improvement" has been exhausted. In terms of strength, Misli has already reached his peak and may even regress as he gets older.
As for his "backers," he was a hawkish navy officer, and the current hawkish leader was the young Admiral Sakaski. However, Sakaski and his people had one thing in common: they were too hawkish. They would never promote anyone who was weak and had no potential for advancement.
Sakaski was a serious man, and he promoted his subordinates based on only one criterion: merit. As long as you had achievements, he would promote you even if your philosophies were completely different from his.
However, it is obviously very difficult for a brigadier general of Misli's age and strength to achieve any great achievements.
When inner desires cannot match reality, people will inevitably think of other ways.
It just so happens that in recent years, Beehive Island has intended to expand its strength, collect devil fruits around the world, attract potential newcomers, and look for various resources.
It was because of this that Suti Lehman met Misli who was stationed in Frevans by chance, and successfully persuaded Misli to join their Honeycomb Island.
Naturally, Beehive Island looked down on Misley's abilities, and even if he went there, he wouldn't have been offered the title of "Captain." However, Misley's status as a Commodore of the Naval Headquarters held a different significance; it was a valuable "propaganda tool." Recruiting him felt like a lucrative opportunity.
At the same time, Misli is a navy stationed in Frevans, and the platinum and lead mines on the island are important materials needed by the Honeycomb Island.
And after all, Misli came from the navy, and some of his knowledge and intelligence are quite valuable to the pirates.
After several factors were combined, Wang Zhicai was promised the position of "Captain of Ship No. 15".
Misli and Suti Lehman chatted for a while, and the young navy who had gone to investigate the mine hurried back and reported to Misli:
"A miner fell and was unable to continue working and was killed."
While the young lieutenant was reporting to his Misley, two sailors in protective suits came down the mountain carrying the body of an old woman.
Misli saw this scene, but he didn't say much about his navy's presumptuous behavior. He waved his hand and said lightly, "Buried it."
This little incident at the mine had no impact on Misli and his team's actions. Similar incidents had happened frequently over the years, and they were no longer surprised.
And Misli had no intention of restraining his navy. It wouldn't be long before they became pirates. After arriving at Beehive Island, these people under his command would all be his power.
Moreover, it is not easy to put the released demon back into the cage.
At this point, let my subordinates act freely, as long as the plan is not affected.
The navy stationed on the island never stopped searching for Rocinante and Luo, but as time passed, both Rocinante and Luo could feel that the search force in the city was decreasing.
One day, when Rossinanti had just captured two rats and returned to his hiding place, he noticed that the navy that had blockaded the town had withdrawn.
After noticing this, Rossinanti didn't dare to go out to check immediately. He took Luo Gui and hid for a few days. After monitoring the situation of the base for a period of time, he mustered up the courage to go and investigate.
There was no trace of the navy in the naval garrison tents.
After Rossinanti returned, he did not leave the town rashly because the communication of the Den Den Mushi had not been restored.
After holding on in the city for a few more days, due to the lack of supplies, Rossinanti had to take Luo out of the city and into the woods in the north.
The two people, one big and one small, lived a "savage" life.
The dark clouds that had been hanging over Frefans for years had disappeared at some point.
Rossinandi and Luo, who were hunting to make a living and searching for traces of the navy, finally arrived at the beach north of Frevans at noon that day.
The beach was densely packed with corpses. The blood of these corpses had long been drained. Some seabirds fell from the sky and pecked at the rotten flesh on the corpses.
Thousands of people were lying densely packed on the entire beach. These bodies included young and strong, old and young. Even in such a winter, the strong fishy smell could not be covered up.
"vomit!!!!"
Young Luo had never seen such a horrific scene. He was so shocked that he immediately bent over and began to vomit violently.
Rosinante wasn't in much better shape. He was so shocked that he just tried to suppress the urge to vomit. He stared blankly at the scene before him, muttering in disbelief:
"What the hell is going on here!?"
Young Luo fell ill and had a high fever that night.
Worse still, Luo was constantly awakened from his sleep. With a high fever and convulsions, and without medication, his condition was rapidly worsening.
Apart from platinum-lead disease, Luo has never had any headaches or fever since he was a child.
But today, for some unknown reason, I had a high fever that wouldn't go away.
"Rami—"
"Rami."
Luo, his head pounding, called out an unfamiliar name: Trafalgar Lamy, the name of Luo's sister, who died of platinum lead disease.
"Luo!"
Rosinante had brought Luo back to the town. He had searched the city carefully but found no other medicine. In the medical box that Luo found, there were only expired antipyretics, so Rosinante did not dare to feed Luo.
Seeing Luo's red face and the way he called out names in a daze, Luo Xinanti had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Before his mother passed away, she also saw figures of people who should not be in this world.
Rossinante has very vivid memories of his mother's last moments.
There was no boat, no medicine, and food was scarce, and Luo now had a high fever.
The current predicament left Rossinanti helpless.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
Just when Rossinanti was at a loss, the Den Den Mushi on his chest suddenly vibrated.
Rossinanti was startled, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face:
"Has communication been restored?"
Rossinanti quickly pulled out the Den Den Mushi from his pocket, grabbed the receiver, and nervously said, "Hello?!"
"asshole!"
"Rosinante, where have you been all this time?!"
"Why haven't you contacted me for so long?"
On the other end of the line came Zhan Guo's furious roar. Hearing this familiar voice, Rossinanti's eyes moistened and he almost cried:
"Marshal of the Warring States Period!"
"Rorota"
"Save Luo! Please save Luo!"
Soon, Rossinandi told Zhan Guo everything that happened on the island of Frevans, and also told Zhan Guo about the difficult situation he was facing, hoping that Zhan Guo could send the nearest navy with a doctor to Frevans.
And Rossinanti also expressed his assessment of Luo's current condition. If the high fever did not subside, Luo might not be able to hold on for a few days.
Generally, patients with high fever can only survive for 3-7 days. Luo has a good physique, but it is hard to say how long his child can survive.
"Rosinante."
"I will dispatch the branch navy to your side as soon as possible!"
"but."
"The fastest it will take is 10 days."
"Just two days ago, several naval branches around Frevans were attacked by pirates."
"All the soldiers from those branches were killed."
“I’m going to transfer it from a farther place.”
Hearing Zhan Guo's words, Rossinanti was stunned on the spot, with his mouth open, speechless in shock.
"How...how could this happen!?"
Rossinanti murmured, his mind in a mess. He didn't even listen to what Zhan Guo said next and hung up the phone silently.
ten days
It's impossible to last for ten days!
Rosinante tilted his head slightly, looking at Luo on the bed, tears streaming down his face. He was a man with great empathy, and Luo's tortuous fate had truly stung him.
“That’s right!”
"And him! If it's the power of the Meatball Fruit..."
Rossinanti seemed to have thought of something and quickly took out a red Den Den Mushi from his pocket.
"Blur, blur—"
When the sound of Den Den Mushi rang out, Tsugikuni Yoriichi was sitting at his desk, reading a book called "The Mythical World" carefully.
This book records different myths and legends from around the world. Robin recommended it to him, saying that he could find some of the truth of history from the book.
Events that happened in the distant past are often passed down orally in the form of myths and legends.
Hearing the sound of Den Den Mushi, Jigoku Yoshiichi closed the book, took out the Den Den Mushi and looked at it, and couldn't help but frowned.
It doesn't seem like a good thing for a Den Den Mushi that looks like Rosinante to call at this time.
"Hello?!"
As soon as Tsugikoku Yoshiichi finished speaking, Rosinante's crying voice was heard.
Luo is in trouble
Rosinante came to him for help.
There is no affection between Tsugikuni Yoshiichi and Luo, but Rosinante is his friend, and Luo is a life, so if he can help, he still needs to help.
Even if Rossinanti might not be able to help him at all in the future.
"Frevans, huh?"
"I'll be here as soon as possible, maybe within a day or two.
"During this time, take good care of yourself and use physical cooling methods to see the results first."
