Chapter 165 Meeting Gift
...
Seeing that the Den Den Mushi had fallen silent, Gel could only laugh in his heart, fearing that the Den Den Mushi would be exposed.
Barrett is alone, with no worries, and has strong enough strength. He can use the power of the devil fruit to transform into a giant in an instant, and can easily take on thousands of troops on his own.
Therefore, unless Barrett himself does not want to run away, and the navy has to send out the Demon Slayer Fleet led by its top combat force, it will be possible to successfully arrest him.
If you think about it for a moment, you will find that the world government really has no way to deal with this kind of "lone hero" who acts alone, and if you make them angry, you will suffer great losses.
If he has the guts to kill the Celestial Dragons, let him do it! At worst, the Navy can just issue the Demon Slayer Order to kill him!
Look at what kind of lewd words Gel is saying.
Zhan Guo was sure that if his big brother, Marshal Kong, dared to say this as firmly as Gel when reporting the matter to the Five Elder Stars, he would be the new Navy Marshal tomorrow.
However, Vice Admirals Sengoku and Tsuru still admired Gol's courage. Which naval senior could cultivate such a strong-willed junior who did not take the Celestial Dragons seriously?
Suddenly, he remembered that during their first phone call, Gel had said that the elders in his family had taken good care of Cap. Looking at the attitude of that old bastard Cap towards the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, Sengoku was now more certain and thought to himself:
It seems that I can ask Garp some other day. Maybe the old bastard became like this under the influence of his ideas.
Come back to your senses.
To be honest, both Sengoku and He really wanted to handle the situation the way Gel said. How could justice easily give in to evil?
But they also understood that the World Government above them would never allow them to use the lives of the Celestial Dragons to gamble on whether that madman Barrett dared to actually kill.
For the Five Elder Stars, it’s not that the lives of one or two celestial dragons are so precious. It’s just that once this thing starts, the majesty that the descendants of the gods have worked hard to build up for hundreds of years will suffer a huge blow.
Once the lie is exposed, various chain reactions will be uncontrollable like opening Pandora's box. This is why the vicious incident in the Valley of the Gods was concealed as much as possible, even to the extent of completely wiping out the entire island.
So according to the nature of the World Government, Sengoku has guessed that there is an 80% chance that they will compromise with the pirates this time. He can only sigh helplessly.
"Well! All right, we will find a way to deal with this. Thank you for taking care of Gion. The navy should be arriving soon."
...
"Crack!"
He hung up the phone, stood up and patted his butt.
"Hey~ Time to wake up, little brother!"
Gur patted Weibull's corrugated lid.
"Pia!"
Wilbur's snot bubbles of varying sizes burst, and he opened his eyes drowsily.
"Is it time for dinner, brother?"
"Uh, yes, we can go eat after finishing the last thing. Come and carry the person up."
Gel jumped onto Weibull's shoulders and pointed at Gion on the ground.
"Oh! Okay brother."
Gel's ship was actually parked on the east side of the island. In order to reduce contact with the navy, he first brought Zhiyuan to the beach on the west side of the island and waited for the navy's warship to come and pick them up.
Geer lay on the sand beside Zhiyuan with his eyes closed, and the fragrant breeze rushed into his nostrils. The closed-eye rest turned into meditation to drive away the distracting thoughts in his mind.
Weevil sat aside eating snacks to kill time, and when he was really bored he started chopping crabs on the beach using the giant tribe's unique skills.
"Brother! A boat is coming."
After waiting for several hours, it was almost dark and a ship finally appeared on the sea. Gel slowly opened his eyes, took out a monocular telescope and began to observe.
"Uh? Why are they pirates?"
Seeing the white skull flag flying on the ship's mast, Ger frowned.
"Great! It's a pirate! Brother, can I chop it up now?"
Upon hearing that it was a pirate, Weevil jumped up excitedly.
"Well, cut it off. Damn it. I was so happy for nothing. I thought the navy we were waiting for had finally arrived and we could go back after the handover."
"hey-hey!"
Having been given permission, Weibull happily picked up the Qinglong Sword and skipped towards the beach.
...
On board
"Captain Peng! Gaya Island is now in sight!"
It was the Marine's turn to be on guard and report.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
A sound of rapid footsteps like drumbeats came from the wooden boards of the cabin.
Then a two-meter-tall, skinny man with a scary face rushed out of the cabin, followed by marines one after another. All of them crowded onto the bow deck at once.
Peng En ran straight to the bow and looked at the island in front of them that almost left a shadow on their lives.
"Boom!"
He pounded his fist on the side of the boat, tears welling up in his eyes, and said excitedly:
"Great! It's great that Lieutenant General is safe! Speed up and let's go and fetch Lieutenant General Gion!"
"Hoohoho!"
The crowd roared and urged with high morale.
"Hurry up, hurry up, full speed ahead!"
"Woo woo woo! Lord Lieutenant General, we are coming!"
"It's full speed ahead, Captain Penn!"
A soldier ran over and wanted to explain to Peng En that the ship was already traveling at its fastest speed, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the excited shouts and cries of the crowd.
They had just learned a few hours ago that the lieutenant admiral who had stayed behind to cover their retreat was safe and sound. They were extremely excited to see the lieutenant admiral soon. On the deck, a large group of men hugged each other, sang and danced, and were moved to tears.
But they were completely unaware that death was waving at them.
“Brush, brush, brush~”
Wilbur stood on the beach, the waves hitting the shore just reaching his ankles, tirelessly washing his big feet.
We saw that Weibull's whole body was glowing, and the red light on the Qinglong Sword was even more amazing, as dazzling as a small sun, making it impossible for people who were close to look directly at him.
"Hey, what's that?"
The sailors on the ship also noticed the light immediately and looked over. The man on guard picked up the telescope and shouted:
"It's a human! Wow! This guy is so tall!"
"Roar, was he the one who fought off Barrett?"
"You can even defeat a monster like that. You are worthy of being the reinforcements sent by the headquarters! Justice will surely prevail!"
"That's right! Long live the Navy! Justice will prevail!"
Everyone on the boat began to cheer and shout slogans.
"No, what is he doing, Shiny?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's signaling us to tell us where we are?"
"That should be right. What you said makes sense."
The little marine wearing glasses and with bandages wrapped all over his body walked forward, looked at the red light on the shore in confusion, and then reached out to the man next to him to take the telescope.
His right hand was still in a plaster cast "holding the submachine gun", and he could only use the remaining fingers of his left hand that could move, and his middle finger and thumb to pinch the telescope tightly. This movement, which resembled an orchid finger, made him look a little effeminate.
The left lens of his gold-rimmed glasses was broken during the battle, so he closed his left eye and put his right eye close to the telescope. When he saw what was happening, his face suddenly changed and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Oh!"
The telescope in his hand fell on the deck. Little Glasses turned his head with a horrified expression and shouted to everyone:
"No!! The other party is not flashing a signal light, he is preparing to attack!!! Stop the boat quickly!! Stop the boat quickly!"
