MTL - I Just Wanted To Retire and I Was Forced To Become a General-Chapter 4 We are the navy, we are not afraid
After fooling Cass, Cullo breathed a sigh of relief.
He is in the Navy of Branch 153.
That's right, the branch ruled by that axe Mongka.
It was also Luffy's first stop.
Zoro's arrest means that the plot has begun. In the next few days, Luffy will come to where he will defeat Monka and liberate the 153 branch that was ruled by power.
He didn't want to have anything to do with Luffy.
People who can make troubles will all be blacklisted here, and don't even see them.
Otherwise, why would he lead the patrol ship to sea from time to time, and stay safe in the branch until he died?
And if I go back now, what if the plot changes, what if Zoro doesn't go with Luffy, then Luffy still has to find a partner in the East China Sea.
What if he didn't find something he liked, what if he stayed in the East China Sea for too long.
According to such a person's ability to make troubles and his strength, if he really wants to make things happen in the East China Sea, very few people can cure him. If this affects him to the point of arresting him, wouldn't it be endless.
What should I do if I hurt him and Garp entangles me? If my strength is exposed, I am recruited to the headquarters and then go to the New World to arrest the pirates. Isn't this troublesome?
He's not afraid, he just doesn't want to change the plot.
Yes, it is like that.
A day later, the warship arrived at the location described in the treasure map.
"Cao Chang, it's Galmoro Island."
On the bow deck, Colonel Cass was holding a telescope, looking at a volcanic island in front of him, facing Cullo Road on the side.
Hearing this, Kuro was completely relieved.
He visited Galmoro Island two years ago and bought supplies this time. The island is just an ordinary town, and there can be no treasures.
That means there is no danger.
"Chang Cao, there is a pirate ship!"
Suddenly, Cass called out.
"What flag?" Clow hurriedly asked.
"The little-known pirate flag... The reward should not be high."
Cullo believed this, and Cass was a very serious person. He was not much better than a bounty hunter when he was a wanted order. He said that if the reward is not high, then it is not high.
stable.
"Fire the gun and sink it." Clow said.
Boom boom boom!
Cannon bombardment, several shells smashed near the pirate ship, one shell hit the pirate ship and exploded.
On the other side, there was no movement.
The pirate ship seems to be empty.
A few more shells were fired, but the pirate ship still did not move. If there were pirates on board, it should have moved.
But Cullo didn't want to close the gun, why not sink it if it can be sunk.
After more than a dozen shells, a shell from the warship hit the opponent's ammunition depot, an explosion occurred, and the ship slowly sank.
With the help of the telescope, Clow saw that there were no traces of living people on the ship.
The warship approached, and a group of navy took a small boat to the wreckage of the pirate ship. After exploring, the navy came back to report.
"Cao Cao, there is no one or anything on the boat, this is an empty boat."
"Understood, then don't worry about it, stop and go to the town to see."
Clow nodded and ordered the navy.
The small town on Germoro Island was near the foot of the ring volcano. As soon as Cullo brought the people ashore, he stopped.
"Cao Chang, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Cullo's expression was wrong, Cass asked.
"Send a team of people to explore and watch out for danger."
Very wrong.
So desolate.
Cullo acted cautiously, and he would remember every island he came to.
The island was completely different from the one he had been to a few years ago. The vegetation had obviously grown a lot, and no traces of animals could be found.
The seas with regular weather, such as the Four Seas, are not as varied as the Great Route, and there is no such thing as a rapid transformation of an island within a few years.
And the current vegetation is obviously the result of the lack of the ecological cycle of animals, which has led to its skyrocketing, and this is limited to inedible values.
Cullo walked all the way and didn't even see a decent wild vegetable.
There are no traces of large animals nearby, it doesn't look like any beasts are stationed here.
Soon, Clow arrived in town.
A few years ago, this small town was still crowded and the houses were neat and tidy.
But looking at it now, all kinds of plants are proliferating on the house. He remembers that there are fields nearby, but now more than half of the fields are deserted.
At the intersection, several yellow-faced and skinny children were squatting there to play games. One of the children saw the approaching person, stunned for a moment, and ran into the town.
"The navy, the navy is here!"
The door of the house was opened, and the townspeople came out of the house and gathered in front of Cullo and the others.
The townspeople were also yellow-faced and skinny, and they all appeared to have been hungry for a long time. A thin old man walked up to Cullo, knelt down suddenly, and cried, "Lord Navy, save our town!"
As the old man knelt down, the rest of the townspeople also knelt down one by one, weeping constantly.
Cullo looked at the old man and said uncertainly, "Mayor Mendel?"
…
At the mayor's house, Clow sat in a chair and watched his house.
It can be described as a family with four walls.
He was here a few years ago when he came, but the mayor's family was still very rich at that time.
"Don't worry, eat slowly, there's not enough on the boat." Cullo said nicely, looking at the mayor who was devouring him.
"Uh-huh."
The mayor kept nodding his head, but his hands did not slow down.
These people were so hungry that the first thing they knelt down when they saw the navy coming over was to ask for food.
Fortunately, Clow brought a lot of food.
Cullo, who puts safety first, is of course prepared to go out to sea.
The warship that can be commanded by Captain Cao is a small patrol ship with a standard configuration of 80 people.
This is not to say, full editor.
Ammunition is full, medicine is full, and food is of course full. In order to pursue survivability, Cullo takes food that is enough to satiate his stomach.
Enough food for eighty navies for three months.
"belch..."
Mendel touched his round belly and burped comfortably, tears streaming down his face: "It's been a year, and we haven't had enough to eat for a whole year. Thank you so much, Navy."
"No thanks, Mayor Mendel, it is normal for the navy to help civilians. Besides, when I came to buy supplies a few years ago, you gave a lot of discounts."
Clow shook his head and asked, "So, you haven't eaten enough for a year? Why?"
As soon as these words came out, Mendel's face showed a look of horror, and he shook his head frantically: "I am grateful for what I can eat, so don't ask why, if you like anything in this town, take it away. Well, even though it's already poor clanking."
If he could go, of course Clow would go.
It's just that he sighed when he looked at the mayor's dull, numb eyes, and the images of the devoured townspeople he had seen before.
"We are the Navy, we will not be afraid, please say..."
"Lord Navy!"
Mendel looked at Cullo moved, as if he had made up a certain determination, and said, "It's Florida, that devil, Florida!"
Florida?
"The Florida you said is a big pirate?" Cass, who was standing aside, couldn't help asking.
"It's not a pirate or a pirate, it's that kind, that kind of rare... It's covered in white hair, it's dangling around like a ghost, unfortunately I can't see its face ."
Mendel said in fear: "Since it came here a year ago, it has eaten all the food on the island, and it does not allow us to run. Occasionally ships come here, but whether it is pirates or treasures Hunters, as long as they come to this place, they will lose their strength inexplicably. The devil asked us to clear the ship and exchange the treasures for food for it, leaving us with only a little subsistence.
I know, we're still alive because it's useful, maybe one day when it's useless, Florida will eat us, this is already a cursed island! "
