Chapter 145 Navy Swordsman
...
The navy officer who came in bowed deeply to Peng En to show his respect, then straightened his back and began to report:
"Captain Peng, the pirates we are following are now stationed in a place called Mogu Town on this island!"
"But there are many pirates gathered in this town. There are probably more than 18 groups of pirates, big and small. Among them, there are 5100 with bounties of over million. The Black Fist Pirates, the group we are tracking this time, have a bounty of million Baileys on their captain, Black Fist Dirk. They are probably the group with the highest bounty and the strongest strength in this town."
"I heard that some time ago, the Black Fist Pirates and the second-ranked Kongo Pirates had a fight. No one knows the details, but many people in the town saw with their own eyes that Kongo Atesan, who had a bounty of 4500 million, was beaten out of the tavern and crashed into several walls before stopping. Kongo Atesan died on the spot!"
"S!"
Everyone gasped when they heard this. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a big gap in strength between 5100 million and 4500 million.
"Black Fist Dirk is a pirate who escaped from the second half of the Grand Line. If this is true, his true strength is probably far beyond his bounty. We have to be vigilant."
A navy officer frowned and spoke, and then another person stood up and continued to analyze:
"If we enforce justice on the Black Fist Pirates in this town, I'm afraid it will attract attacks from other pirates."
Everyone started discussing and analyzing various strategies and tactics, just like they did in the Navy boot camp.
"Tick!"
As everyone was talking, someone noticed that Captain Peng, who was standing silently at the side, had a drop of tears fall to the ground. Then his tears fell to the ground one by one like beads that had broken off the string.
Peng En burst into tears and said to everyone with a sad expression:
"With so many pirates gathering in this small town, I wonder how many innocent people will shed blood and tears! They must be very desperate! They must be very disappointed in the navy, right? We are the navy that represents justice!"
"So even if there is a risk of losing my life, I will never give up! I must let them see that even in this unfair world, there is still justice! Our responsibility is to protect the future of innocent people!"
"Captain Penn!!"
"That's very well said! Is this the justice you carry? It's so dazzling! This is what our navy should look like!"
"Please let us follow you to kill all the pirates! Rescue the innocent civilians! Captain Peng!"
Everyone on the ship is a young naval elite who has been carefully selected. Their average age is only around 20 years old. They are a group of passionate young people with dreams and ambitions who choose to join the navy for the justice in their hearts.
At this moment, everyone was moved by Peng En's sincere words, and they wanted to rush into Mogu Town and kill all the pirates.
"Really? Calm down for a moment. Are you guys a little too excited?"
A sweet female voice was heard, and the group of screaming male sailors suddenly quieted down. They all looked at the person who was speaking.
I saw a tall woman sitting on the sofa beside me, quietly and carefully wiping her sword.
The woman was wearing a loose pink coat and a black baseball cap on her head. She had a fair and smooth oval face and a pair of round-frame sunglasses on her nose. She had slender willow-shaped eyebrows, a pair of slightly pink peach eyes, and delicate lips that were also a smooth pink. A beauty mole at the corner of her mouth was the finishing touch, adding a bit of charm to her whole face.
Just as described in the poem: the human face and the peach blossoms complement each other red.
The woman's upper body was wrapped tightly, but her lower body was wearing a pair of cool shorts, revealing a pair of slender, white, sexy long legs without any fat.
Faced with such a great beauty, no one present dared to have any improper thoughts, because the person in front of them was a senior who was worthy of their respect, both in terms of military rank and strength.
In this mission, their identities are hidden to the outside world, because they are now playing the role of pirate hunters, but internally, they naturally know each other's true identities.
The long-legged beauty who was speaking at this moment was none other than Gion, the vice admiral of the navy who was sent by the headquarters to secretly protect them, and the sword she was wiping in her hand was the 21-gong large sword, Kinpira.
"Senior Gion, shouldn't we destroy the pirates as soon as possible and save those innocent civilians?"
Peng En was a little anxious, but still asked very respectfully.
"Well, don't be so anxious. As a commander, it is the most basic requirement to stay calm at all times. The pirates must be eliminated. We are the navy, so there is no reason for us to compromise with pirates."
"As for whether the civilians are innocent and whether it is worth our risk to rescue them, I think that remains to be considered."
"But, Senior. We..."
Gion waved his hand, interrupting the navy soldier who was about to speak, and continued:
"Don't be so quick to refute. Let me tell you something you don't want to hear. The pirates have occupied this town for a long time."
"This town has gathered so many pirate groups, it has already become the pirates' base. The truly innocent civilians have either been killed or have fled long ago. Those who can still live in the town are either pirates or people with close interests with the pirates. Maybe even if they launched a demon-killing order to bomb the entire island, there might be one or two people who were killed by mistake."
"Ah, this..."
Everyone fell silent after hearing this.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, Zhiyuan slowly put the Kinpila into the scabbard. She was beautiful and had a sweet voice, but the words she said were too realistic and cold.
Peng En had to admit that Lieutenant General Zhiyuan's analysis was correct. A trace of struggle appeared on his face, but he could only sigh and say:
"This is a shame for our navy. Justice cannot appear in time. We cannot save them from the vicious pirates earlier. Justice delayed is no longer justice."
"Well, Peng En, you are right, so you newcomers should work hard! You are the future of the navy, so hurry up and work hard to become stronger. Maybe next time you can make justice appear in time and avoid similar tragedies."
Perhaps influenced by the old men in the navy's high-ranking positions, Gion, who is just in his early 20s, already speaks in an old-fashioned manner.
She did not deny the young people's ideas. She admired these justice-minded naval juniors.
The pirate with a bounty of 5 million is not enough to make her feel difficult. If it weren't for her sister Ahe who attached great importance to this plan, and she had recently encountered a bottleneck in her swordsmanship training and was a little upset, so she thought of going to the paradise to complete a mission to relax, otherwise she would not have come to help play the role of "bodyguard".
With the strength of Vice Admiral Gion Honbu, he should be hunting down those pirates with bounties of over 100 million in the New World. The navy does not have any spare combat power to waste at this moment.
