Rossinandi gently hugged Luo and tucked him into the corner, thoughts racing in his mind.
Although he was born into the Celestial Dragon family, became the adopted son of the Warring States at a young age, and grew up in the Marine Headquarters, the time he spent undercover under Doflamingo in the past few years greatly trained his abilities and mind.
What was happening before his eyes was far beyond his expectations, but at this critical moment, Rossinanti's brain quickly calmed down.
Facing those unfamiliar marines, he had already "introduced himself." Given the navy's style, even if they had doubts, they shouldn't have continued to shoot.
The most likely way to deal with them is to arrest them both, bring them back to the base, and then find a way to confirm their identities before making a decision. If that doesn't work, the superiors will be notified.
The navy in this world can be considered as a member of the "system". They should be well aware of the need to report first when in doubt.
If they open fire without even confirming their identities, then the problems may not just be with these sailors in front of them.
"snort"
Rossinanti gently held Luo and stood up. A look of pain appeared on his face. As he stood up, a pool of blood was left on the white wall, and a faint smell of blood filled the air.
Luo seemed to have noticed something and opened his mouth nervously to say something, but under the influence of Rossinanti's ability, no sound came out.
The navy team in the middle of the street was still slowly approaching the corner of the wall. This group of people moved very cautiously, holding their guns, aiming at the position near the wall, and then approaching quietly.
When they were about to reach the corner, the leading navy soldier in protective clothing made a silent gesture, and someone behind him understood. He suddenly increased his speed and rolled into the alley at the corner. Without even raising his head, he fired directly into the alley.
At the same time, the other sailors also quickly rushed to the entrance of the alley, but looking at the empty alley, their originally tense nerves relaxed a little.
Before, Luo Xinanti and Luo had clearly turned into this alley, but where was the figure in the alley at this time?
"Cease fire!"
In the team, a navy man said as he walked through the crowd.
He turned his head slightly to take a look at the bloodstains remaining at the bottom of the corner, and then he noticed some blood dripping on the ground. The dripping bloodstains formed a path, extending along the alley to the barbed wire fence several meters away.
"Escaped over the blockade wall?"
"How is this possible? He was just talking to us, and he clearly didn't make any sound."
There would inevitably be noise when two people, one big and one small, climbed over the blockade wall made of barbed wire. Their team of navy did not rush forward rashly when they were chasing them. On the one hand, they were on guard against the opponent's counterattack, and on the other hand, they knew that this alley was a dead end. At the same time, they did not hear any sound.
But now, the bloodstains at the scene clearly told them that the two people, one big and one small, had escaped silently by climbing over the iron fence.
"Judging from the way he's dodging, he doesn't necessarily seem to be someone with great skills."
"It's very likely someone with special abilities."
The team leader analyzed the situation intently, then waved his hand and said to the navy behind him:
"Report the situation here to Commodore Misley. A stranger claiming to be from our navy has broken into Frevans."
"It's very likely that the headquarters has noticed something."
"I suggest patrolling the perimeter of the island to search for and destroy unfamiliar ships."
"We can't leave here for the time being. The situation here must not be known to headquarters at this stage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a navy officer in the team nodded in agreement, then took out his Den Den Mushi and began to report to his superiors.
Not long after, many sailors in protective suits appeared in the originally lifeless white town and began to search the town frantically.
At the same time, warships stationed in the port set out to search and clear ships at sea around the entire island.
In the evening, the navy patrolling at sea discovered the small wooden boat of Rossinanti and his crew docked on the coast. Without saying a word, they bombarded and destroyed it.
As the sky grew darker, the navy set up searchlights and searched the city.
The entrances and exits in and out of the town were also completely blocked.
"Such a big move"
"They're searching for the two of us!"
"With this scale, I'm afraid even the navy stationed on the island has gotten involved."
"Why. Why on earth is this happening?!"
In a two-story house somewhere in the city, Rossinanti gently lifted a corner of the curtain and glanced at the street.
After escaping, Rossinanti bandaged himself briefly while running, and then quickly hid in a nearby house to avoid a direct conflict with the pursuing navy.
When the navy began to search the whole city, Rossinanti also took Luo Dong to hide.
Fortunately, this city is quite large and there are many buildings in it. Relying on the power of the Silence Fruit, it is not too difficult for Rossinanti to take Luo to hide.
The house where the two of them were staying had just been searched by the navy.
Rossinanti was well aware of the principle that there was always something hidden beneath the light. As soon as the searching navy left, he and Luo rushed in.
After observing for a few minutes, Rossinanti took out the Den Den Mushi from his arms. After picking up the receiver, a sharp electric sound came from it.
Den Den Mushi's communications were disrupted.
I have been to many places in the city and the situation is the same everywhere. The result is obvious: the island has been completely blocked.
At this moment, not only was the Den Den Mushi communication cut off, but the ship docked on the coast was probably also destroyed.
He and Luo were stuck in Frevans and couldn't get out.
"Rosinante, I found some bandages, let's bandage it first."
At this moment, Luo opened the door and walked into the room with a small medical kit in his hand and spoke.
This room had been enveloped by Rosinante's power, and any sound from within would not be heard. Rosinante didn't know what kind of search methods the opponent had, but in short, it was right to be cautious.
"Medical kit? There's something like that in this house?"
When Rossinanti saw Luo walk into the room, he gently closed the curtains and then said with some surprise.
Having said that, Rossinanti sat down cross-legged on the floor without any further ado and began to take off his coat and shirt.
He had been shot in the back of the shoulder, and this time he had simply bandaged it with a strip of cloth. Now that he had clean gauze, it was safer to use the gauze.
Rossinanti is different from people like Tsugikuni Yoriichi. He is not a monster, but a normal human being. If the gunshot wound in his back is not treated properly, it will cause big problems.
"This room is very well-equipped with everything, including quilts, clothes, and everything else."
"Neither the World Government nor the Navy would be interested in these things."
"The goal of invading this country's kingdom is not to occupy the place, but simply to plunder its wealth."
As Luo spoke, he walked behind Rosinante with the medical kit, carefully unwrapped the bandages around Rosinante, and began to clean the wound with alcohol. The original full bottle of alcohol, about 500ml, was only half full due to its long storage time, so Luo used it sparingly.
Luo was born into a medical family. After he was diagnosed with platinum-lead disease, he also continued to learn about this area. He can still do some of the most basic things.
Although this was his first time to remove a bullet, it required carefulness and there wasn't much professional skill involved.
After struggling for a few minutes, Luo used tweezers to remove the bullet from the muscles on the back of Rossinanti's shoulder. The flintlock rifle was not very powerful. Although Rossinanti had a human body, there was still a gap between him and ordinary people. The bullet did not hit too deep, and even after the bullet was removed, there was not much bleeding.
After a simple treatment, Luo quickly bandaged Rossinanti's wound.
While he was dealing with it, Rossinanti seemed to be thinking about something, and the two of them were quiet the whole time.
After bandaging Rosinante, Luo packed up the medical kit and asked:
"Rosinante, what should we do next?" Luo is still a child after all. Even though he has seen many storms, he is still a little nervous in this situation.
Luo still felt a little confused until now, not knowing what had happened. He only knew that the navy here seemed to want to kill both of them.
"Don't worry, I'll take you out."
Luo Xinanti turned around and comforted Luo. Seeing that Luo's face was still frowning, Luo Xinanti couldn't help but sigh in his heart and explained softly:
“I don’t actually know what happened.”
"The navy here attacked us for no apparent reason. Even after I told them I was from headquarters, they continued to attack us. Now, they've even started a city-wide manhunt for us."
"I think there's something wrong with the navy on this island."
"What we know now is that these people want to kill us. Our Den Den Mushi communications have been cut off. I think our boat docked on the shore has also been confiscated. We are trapped on this island."
"I have two theories about the group that attacked us. One: Someone high up in the navy gave them the order to kill us!"
"Second: The navy stationed on the island acted on their own initiative. If that's the reason, the navy on the island must have done something and are afraid of being discovered by headquarters."
"And I happened to expose the identity of this navy."
"I don't know which of the two situations it is, but what is certain is that the navy on this island cannot be trusted."
Luo is a little brat with a lot on his mind. Luo Xinanti knows that if he doesn't explain things clearly, this kid probably won't be able to rest in peace.
Sure enough, after hearing what Rossinanti said, Luo, who was originally nervous, calmed down and began to think with a frown.
Don’t look at his young age, he was a pirate in the Don Quixote family!
If the enemy is clear, he will be able to look at the things happening in front of him rationally.
"Hey, Rosinante, does your father disown you?"
"Think you're embarrassing and want to kick you away?"
Luo's words suddenly came out. Hearing this, Rosinante glared at him, grabbed Luo in front of him, and clamped him under his armpit, cursing, "Idiot, how is this possible?!"
"How could Marshal Zhan Guo be such a person?!"
Luo was restrained by Rosinante, but he kept talking: "That's your father's political enemy. Others in the navy don't like you and want to kill you!"
"Idiot! Impossible! What nonsense are you talking about! Marshal Zhan Guo has no political enemies!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Rossinanti's movements suddenly froze and he let go of Luo.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Luo thought that it was Rossinanti who pulled the wound, and asked with some concern.
However, Rossinanti's face showed some realization, as if he was awakened by his own words, and he said to himself:
"Yes."
"It's impossible for anyone from the Navy Headquarters to pay attention to me right now."
"Even the World Government is probably making all-out preparations to defeat the Big Mom Pirates."
"Besides, I have no conflict of interest with anyone else. No general in the headquarters would want to kill me."
"Even if the World Government wanted to completely conceal the information about this island, there's no reason for the navy here to attack me, the navy of the headquarters."
"The key to the matter should be the navy stationed in Frevans itself."
"What did they do? Did they know I was the headquarters' marine response?"
As he thought about it, Rossinanti's thoughts suddenly became clear. While listening to Rossinanti's mumbling, he couldn't help but nodded slightly, then walked to the window sill and glanced out the window.
The sky outside the house gradually darkened, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. White "snowflakes" fell from the sky and landed on the window sill outside the house.
Luo looked at the scene outside the window, and a light bulb suddenly flashed in his mind. He asked Rosinante behind him:
"Hey, Rossinandi, after the World Government and the Navy took over Frevans, have they been mining the platinum and lead ore on the island?"
Hearing Luo's question, Rosinante shook his head: "As far as I know, it should be no longer mined."
"In order to cover up the scandal here, the mining of platinum and lead mines has naturally stopped."
"Navy scientists are developing mining equipment."
"And with the development of technology, the Navy has found some alternatives to platinum-lead ore."
“It will not be reopened unless it is absolutely necessary.”
Although Rossinanti's position is not high, he has many sources of information and knows some confidential matters quite well.
After Doflamingo was killed by Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, he has now regained his identity. In order to better help Law, Rossinante has more or less borrowed some of his adoptive father's energy.
"Yeah."
"But there are still people mining platinum-lead ore in Frevans!"
"The moment platinum-lead ore is mined and unearthed, some of it will evaporate. Only after it comes into contact with air will the surface material become stable."
"If the navy had stopped mining years ago, there wouldn't be any ash falling in the snow!"
Hearing Luo's words, Luo Xinanti was stunned. He quickly walked to the windowsill and looked up at the world outside the window.
As the night deepened, the snow fell heavier, but the temperature did not drop suddenly.
Rossinanti gently opened a corner of the window, stretched out his hand, caught a few snowflakes, felt the touch in his palm, and his expression became solemn.
"You mean"
The mines south of the city of Frefans are brightly lit.
The mining area, which should have been closed a few years ago, has now reopened. On the mountain road, groups of ragged people are carrying baskets of newly mined platinum and lead ore down the mountain.
The composition of these miners is complex, with strong young men and thin and petite old, weak women and children, but what they have in common is that their exposed skin is covered with white spots.
On both sides of the mountain road, every few meters there were two or three naval guards holding rifles and wearing protective clothing, watching the miners work.
It was a dark and snowy night, and the road was a bit slippery. A thin old woman couldn't bear the weight of the ore on her back, and her foot slipped. She fell several meters along the mountain road before she stopped. She looked up and saw that her face was covered in blood. However, the old woman ignored the pain in her body, and after a few seconds, she hurriedly got up and wanted to pick up the backpack not far away.
“Bang!”
However, at this moment, a navy man walked up to the old woman, stepped on the backpack, raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at the old woman.
"I can still work."
"Please don't kill me!!"
The old man crawled down tremblingly, and the navy man holding the gun trembled slightly, seeming to be quite excited.
The feeling of having control over other people's life and death is truly intoxicating. After so many years in the navy, this is the first time he has felt this kind of pleasure.
"You can't do it anymore. Not only can you not do it, but it will also affect other people!"
As soon as the words fell, a gunshot rang out through the night sky.
The other miners looked at the scene before them, lowered their heads and remained silent.
"Hurry up and work!"
"If you mine all the mines within three days, you will be free!"
"Thank you for our kindness, hahahaha!"
