Chapter 267 Sharing childhood memories
...
Captain Gel suddenly became murderous.
Tom was confused and thought to himself, just because I said I couldn't create Pluto, you don't have to be so anxious to kill me, right?
After all, I am the world's number one shipbuilder. Is it true that I have no use after I took out the blueprints? At least I can still be useful in renovating the Mingwang, right?
He then joked:
"Hey, hey, hey, Captain Gul, the murderous aura on you is too obvious. Don't you even try to hide it? Do you want to kill me? Hahaha!"
"Hehe, are you kidding me? How could I possibly want to kill you? I just thought of someone and felt that if I left him alone, he might become an obstacle to us in the future, so I'm considering whether to get rid of him in advance."
"Oh? Captain? There is someone who is worthy of your concern? Who do you think it is? Let's go and kill him right now. No kidding, I am actually a good assassin!"
There is indeed some truth in the fact that people use "pointy ears" to describe good hearing. Moria has pointy ears, so he heard what Captain Gul said from a long distance away and ran over to brag about it.
"Okay, I know, I know. You are the smartest one. I will definitely call you when the time comes. Let me eat your meat first."
Gel waved his hand and dismissed him casually.
"Old Tang, actually my idea is: we can back up the blueprints first, and then take out some incomplete blueprints to trade with the World Government."
"In fact, compared to manufacturing this thing, I think the old men in the World Government would prefer to control the blueprints in their hands to prevent others from researching and manufacturing Pluto and threatening their rule."
In order to avoid any estrangement, Ger patiently explained to Tom, and the two sat on the sofa at the bow and had a long chat.
In fact, there are many benefits to doing this. The most direct benefit is that it can exchange for benefits. Secondly, it can prevent the world government from continuing to worry about this thing and thus relax its vigilance.
They only need to resolve the uncertainty factor of Vegapunk. Even if the World Government is preparing to create the ancient weapon Pluto, the design drawings that are missing most of the key drawings can cause them to waste countless manpower, material resources and time costs.
And we still have the complete drawings, and we can study and research them as we please, without any impact, which is equivalent to not having to pay any substantial price.
Honest Tom nodded repeatedly when he heard Captain Gill's cunning.
Tom was convinced that Captain Gul was a man of high intelligence and that all his decisions were made after careful consideration. He was impressed and finally felt relieved.
"Uh hahaha, Captain Gul, you decide. I've handed it over to you. It's up to you how you deal with it."
Tom said, patting Ger's back gently.
Damn fat guy!
After hearing this, Gel felt like hitting someone. You're just talking after I've already said it. If you were really 100% confident in yourself, why would I have wasted so much time explaining it to you?
"Okay, I'll leave the blueprints with you after I prepare them. You can study them when you have time. Don't be afraid of being discovered. Learn more about the advanced technologies in them. As for the plan I just mentioned, I have to wait for a suitable time."
"Okay, Captain. Just make the arrangements. I'll do as you say. I'm going to eat first. Hahaha."
Learning to let go of burdens and leave worries to others, Tom experienced for the first time that life could be so easy and comfortable. He walked over and happily ate skewers and drank beer with everyone, laughing heartily and carefreely.
...
On the judicial ship not far away, the atmosphere was not so cheerful.
"Damn it! My head hurts! Are we possessed by evil spirits?"
"It suddenly became dark. Could it be that we accidentally veered off course and entered the Devil's Triangle?"
"Don't tell me, it's really possible. I heard that people often encounter ghosts when they enter the Devil's Triangle, and few people can come out alive!"
"I didn't believe it before, but now I do. I really thought I was going to die just now!"
"Shh! Don't speak so loudly. Don't you know that the prisoner has been rescued? Although we just escaped a disaster, we are now in greater danger!"
"Ah, this!"
The sailors who woke up were all panicked when they found the empty prison.
Compared with sacrificing one's life heroically while performing a mission, the knife of one's own family is the sharpest. Not only will one lose one's life, but one's reputation will also be ruined, and after death, one's family will not be able to enjoy the treatment that the families of military martyrs should have.
On the deck, Zidar sat up and shook his still dizzy head. He reached out and touched the back of his head and found a big bump. He couldn't help but spit and cursed:
"Damn bastard, you hit me really hard!"
But like everyone else, his heart was filled with gratitude.
I really didn't expect that not only did I survive, but also none of the soldiers on the ship died. It was incredible. What on earth did the other party want to do? Was there any conspiracy?
"Qi, Brigadier General Qidar! What should we do now?"
A team leader asked in a trembling voice.
"Where's the Chief Justice? Is he all right?"
Zidal suddenly remembered and asked hurriedly.
"The Chief Justice is fine. He was just frightened and fainted. No! He was knocked unconscious. He has been awakened and is fine."
The team leader reported nervously.
Upon hearing this, Zidar fell into deep thought. After a long while, he let out a long breath and said helplessly:
"Call headquarters and tell them that we were attacked on the way. The murderer is huge, about 7 meters tall, extremely powerful, and suspected to have the ability of a devil fruit that can temporarily blind people. Fishman Tom has been kidnapped by him. He is very likely Tom's accomplice. The possibility of remnants of Roger's pirate group cannot be ruled out. The other party's goal seems to be just to save people, not to kill the soldiers on the ship. I don't know if there are other purposes. Let the headquarters issue a bounty for Fishman Tom first! Also, be sure to protect the Chief Justice!"
"Yes, sir!"
Seeing that Zidal had no intention of passing the buck, the naval soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief. If something like this happened, it would be fine if the commander led everyone to bear the responsibility together. But if the commander only wanted to pass the buck, they would most likely not be able to escape jail time, or even be executed.
...
3 days later
A sunny morning.
The Ming Wang has been staying in this clear sea area for two days.
The reason was that Captain Gill suddenly remembered that Doflamingo was going to send him a devil fruit to Water Seven, so he asked Moriah and Senior, who could fly, to go back and get it. The ship could only temporarily anchor here and wait for them to come back.
The deck was as lively as ever.
"boom!"
"Ahhh! Damn it! Why are you hitting me again!"
Little Franky covered his head with a painful expression.
"Focus on me, little brat! Even a moment of distraction on the battlefield can be fatal!"
Barrett scolded.
He liked the identity of this devil instructor more and more. He had a group of unconvinced and troublesome soldiers to beat and scold every day. He was really giving back to the society all the sufferings he had ever experienced. No, it should be said that he had regained the good memories of his childhood and shared them free of charge with this group of principled young people on the ship.
