Chapter 46 Su Wei’s discovery, Mary Joa’s high-level meeting
After saying goodbye to the victims, the Thousand Sunny left the Terror Island and sailed on the sea by wind and waves.
On the deck, Luffy lowered the brim of his hat and stood quietly at the bow of the ship, holding a life card in his hand. Usopp, Chopper and others were guarding him worriedly not far away. It was obvious that something unexpected had happened in just a few minutes.
"What's going on, Luffy? Didn't we just set sail? Why are you so negative? It couldn't be Perona."
When he had not boarded the ship a few minutes ago, Luffy was still in a very happy mood, but why did he become silent in the blink of an eye?
"It's about Ace."
"Ace"
"Oh, you don't know yet, Ace is Luffy's brother. We met him once in Alabasta during our adventure. It seems something happened to him now."
Usopp wasn't quite sure what happened to Ace, but he was sure that Luffy's brother had encountered an accident.
"How do you know?"
This island is almost isolated from the world, and it is impossible to buy newspapers or anything in the nearby waters. How did everyone know that something happened to Luffy's brother?
"Laura just gave us a life card, do you still remember it?"
"Well, I know this. It's at Nami's place."
"Lola said that the life card is a unique product of the new world. It is a special paper that can represent the owner's vitality. It happened that Ace once gave Luffy a life card. When Luffy took it out just now, he found that this life card represented his brother. Some parts were burnt, and Laura said that the life card is not afraid of water and fire, so "
I see, everything is clear at this point. The burning of the paper that can show the owner's vitality, which is not afraid of water and fire, can only mean that the owner of the life card is gradually losing life. It's no wonder that Luffy is so depressed.
"Ace is very strong, and nothing will happen to him. Even if something happens, he will definitely not want me to interfere. Before going to sea, he once said that once everyone goes to sea to become pirates, they will be rivals competing for one piece of information when they meet in the future. Ace has Ace's adventure, and I have my adventure. I believe he will get through this difficulty, and the two of us will definitely meet again one day."
Luffy stood quietly at the bow of the ship, suddenly smiled again, raised his head and looked at the sea in the distance, and explained to his worried friends that he could not be depressed at this time, otherwise his friends would be affected.
At some point, Su Wei stood next to Ichigo, watching Luffy, who was just melancholy just now, become careless in a short while, and whispered in Ichigo's ear, "Luffy is such a person, optimistic by nature." , it’s not that there is no suffering in his world, but that he chooses to use happiness to cover up the pain. He is very clear about Ace’s affairs, but he is just deliberately acting heartless. When encountering major events, he is unambiguous, Only people like him can truly live a free and easy life.”
The group deeply agrees. In comparison, he is miles away from Luffy in terms of attitude towards life. At this moment, the group realized again that in just a few days, the relationship between him and Su Wei had changed significantly. It was no longer just a relationship between partners. It must be said that she had worked hard for it. the result of.
"I have something to show you."
Without saying anything, Su Wei walked along the side of the ship to the stern deck. When he followed him to the stern, Su Wei was already waiting here, her expression no longer as relaxed as before, as if she was serious. thinking about something.
"Why should I say anything behind everyone's back?"
"They can't help with this matter even if they know about it. Only the two of us can discuss it, so I came to you." After briefly explaining the reason for avoiding everyone, Su Wei opened her palms and saw only a wisp of gray. The mist was bound in her palm.
"This is the gray fog of the Demonic Sea." The group could see the familiar fog at a glance, but they didn't understand why Su Wei brought this thing with her. Could it be that she saw some trick?
"I didn't notice it at first, but when Bartholomew popped out the accumulated damage in my body, my mental power recovered quickly. In the past few days, it has returned to 30% of its original level. It was at this time that I discovered So weird."
"There's something weird." He really didn't see what was weird, so he had to motion Su Wei to continue.
"Just come and see for yourself."
After saying that, Su Wei pressed her forehead against Yi Xing's forehead. Before he could react, a spiritual power far beyond his imagination merged with his, and spiritual consciousness began to spread in the direction from which it came. Until about twenty kilometers away. With the help of Su Wei's mental power, he once again saw the whole picture of the terrifying three-masted ship. There was no one there anymore, and wisps of gray mist were appearing out of thin air in the surrounding air. Although the strange fog appears very slowly, it is constantly emerging at a faster speed under the cover of a wide range of spiritual consciousness. With the blessing of Su Wei's spiritual power, the group was not sucked away by the gray fog all around. A hint of spiritual power.
"What's going on? Didn't the gray fog disappear?"
What is happening is truly unheard of and unprecedented. I am afraid that it is impossible to explain the phenomenon in front of me just by using the excuse that there are many strange things on the Great Sea Route. There are definitely things in this sea area that ordinary people cannot imagine.
"It's not disappearing, it's just retreating temporarily. There must be something extremely terrifying somewhere in this sea area or on that ship. One day in the future, when you become stronger, you must come back here and take a closer look."
"Back off, you mean this gray mist is conscious and they are manipulated."
The group suddenly realized what Su Wei was worried about. But now one of the two is injured and the other is weak. I'm afraid it's not the time to meddle in other people's business. Things can only be dealt with when they become stronger in the future. Now the fastest way to become stronger is right in front of you. On the way to the next island A good time for him to practice in seclusion.
The Holy Land Marie Joa is located at the intersection of the Red Continent and the Grand Line. It is the headquarters of the World Government and the residence of the world's noble Dracos.
In a magnificent building, the Navy Headquarters Marshal Sengoku, Vice Admiral Garp, Chief Staff Officer Ahe, and Shichibukai Bartholomew were all gathered in an office. Marshal Sengoku was listening to the mission report of Lieutenant General Garp and Shichibukai Bartholomew. Sengoku showed an impatient expression when listening to Garp's report. When he heard the report from Daxiong again, he almost ran away with anger.
"Stop joking, are you fooling me? Don't forget, the person reporting this matter to the superiors is me, it's me."
It's really outrageous. One is the legendary naval hero who once chased the Pirate King all over the world, and the other is the powerful Shichibukai. How could it be possible for a new pirate group to escape like this again and again? Moreover, the incident report submitted by the two men was simply unconvincing.
"Garp, you kid clearly accepted the order to arrest the Straw Hat boy. You won't let him go on purpose just because he is your grandson. I have no doubt that you would do such a thing."
The angry Marshal of the Warring States Period couldn't help but lose his temper. In order to achieve the purpose of arresting the Straw Hat Boy, he took double insurance, but it ended in failure. Did he, the Marshal, really have to take action personally to achieve the arrest? If the Straw Hat Boy's goal hadn't been for the recent sudden change in the world situation, which cannot tolerate any mistakes, he would have been so angry that he would have taken action immediately.
"How is it possible? I have already made it very clear about the situation at that time. Do you want me to repeat it again? We have worked very hard to attack them. All the soldiers on the ship witnessed their ship suddenly flying into the sky and escaping. You What should I do about this matter? Qing Zhi was also on the boat the whole time. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him. He will definitely testify for me. Moreover, we were involved in an unexpected incident at that time and were eager to investigate. All we can say is that God must be helping them, hahahaha.”
Although the matter was not serious, the marshal's anger had already boiled over. Garp quickly reiterated his reasons, and by the way, he also brought in General Qing Pheasant as a shield.
"You still dare to laugh. This is not a reason at all. With your strength and speed, how can you not catch up with them? This reason is too weak. I am the one who has to report to the superiors. What do you want me to do? I have reported it to the superiors. votes”
Thinking of the group of high-ranking government officials he would face next, Warring States had a headache. No wonder Garp had always been a lieutenant general and never been promoted.
"And you, Da Xiong, I know your strength very well. You can't even handle a group of exhausted newcomers. You actually have compassion."
It is too bizarre to read the reports of the two together. The Straw Hat Boy and his ship entered the Demonic Sea soon after leaving the Water City. The battle with Moria took place three days later that night. In just three days, There was a huge discrepancy in the information about the Straw Hat Boys and the gang in the past day. How could this make him less popular?
The expressionless Big Bear also felt some trouble, and slowly said, "It's obvious that there was a major mistake in the government's intelligence. How can it be blamed on me? I have tried my best in the Moria incident. The intelligence said that the Straw Hat Pirates There are a total of eight people in the group, and each person's abilities are described in detail, but when I logged in, there were eleven people in the group."
"It's not that I didn't try my best, but their strength was indeed beyond my expectation. I was spotted just as I was approaching thrierbark. At that time, I tested my opponent's strength. To put it simply, I didn't see through her. , maybe his strength is higher than mine."
Marshal Zeng Guo's face became increasingly ugly, but Big Bear didn't care about the Marshal's face at all, and continued to find reasons for himself.
"Are you done yet? Have you colluded to trick me?"
The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes. How could there be someone who is stronger than Big Bear among the pirates in the first half of the Grand Line? Those who can stop him are all wandering around in the new world. Even those who are wandering in the first half are all there. Under the government's surveillance, Daxiong's reasons seemed high-sounding, but how could the top government officials believe it.
"You kid, stop talking nonsense. It can't be Pluto Rayleigh who went there. That old guy has always stayed in the Chambord Islands as a coating craftsman and has never left there. Who is the master who scared you away?" Saying it will also open my eyes, so that I don’t have to be so embarrassed when I report it later.”
The big bear sitting on the chair remained motionless. After being quiet for a while, he continued to explain, "One of the extra three people is a skeleton. They look very scary. In fact, their strength is ordinary and nothing special. But the other two are not so much." It’s the same, one is a fake zombie covered in straps, but her strength is slightly stronger, almost the same as the newcomers, and she has some strength; but the last woman is beyond my imagination, I lost to her in the speed competition. I'm not afraid of anyone in a one-on-one situation, but it's not that easy in a one-on-one situation."
"If Big Bear admits defeat, it's still at the speed he's good at."
It seemed like he didn't mean to lie at all. If it was true, it would have to be taken seriously. Everyone present knew how fast Big Bear was. There were very few people who could make Big Bear admit defeat in terms of speed.
"Tell me more about it. I will write a report and report it to the superiors later." Maybe what Big Bear said is too unbelievable, but the person who can make Big Bear admit defeat at such a speed cannot ignore it. He may be the first person in history to be beaten for the first time. Someone with a reward of over 100 million is about to show up.
"Oh, I almost forgot. After my grandson escaped, strange weather phenomena appeared in the waters near the Water Capital. I have never seen such weird weather conditions in all my years of sailing the Grand Line. I'm afraid there is something unusual. Something happened, my intuition has always been very accurate, you cannot ignore this matter, it may not be as simple as a weather phenomenon."
I felt something was wrong at the time, and now the more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes. Although the phenomenon of dragons sucking water often occurs in the Grand Line, the celestial phenomenon that day was definitely not dragons sucking water.
"This old man already knows."
Suddenly I remembered that the report sent by the intelligence department stationed in the Water City a few days ago also mentioned a strange weather phenomenon. At that time, the report only said that there was an unprecedented weather spectacle in the sky, as if a hole had been broken in the sky. Judging from the time, it should be the strange celestial phenomenon mentioned by Karp. After careful consideration for a while, Warring States looked much more cautious when he spoke again.
"Do you think this is a weather phenomenon?"
After comprehensively comparing the reports of intelligence personnel and Garp, although Sengoku was not present at the time, it was difficult for Sengoku to jump to conclusions easily. The intelligence personnel were far away and had limited strength so they could not see the essence of the matter. As one of the veterans of the navy, it was impossible for Garp to mention a simple weather issue for no reason.
"I feel that the matter may not be that simple. No matter how bad the weather is, I have never felt scared. When I noticed something strange, I was very frightened." Carefully speaking out his personal feelings at that time, Lieutenant General Garp He didn't care at all about making a fool of himself in front of his old friends, and described the scene to Warring States in an extremely objective manner.
"I understand, let me think about it." Marshal Warring States fell into deep thought for a long time and said nothing for the time being.
Garp glared at Sengoku, who was sitting at his desk and was meditating silently, and yelled, "Just use this information as an excuse. Those bureaucrats can't do anything to you. I don't believe this." Then they dare to withdraw your marshal."
"Things do need to be taken seriously, but Moria's matter." Warring States continued to say worriedly. As a marshal, he had many more things to consider.
According to common sense, a defeated Shichibukai is not allowed to continue serving.
"Don't worry, my grandson is not the kind of ignorant villain who spreads the word after defeating a little Moria. Don't forget, Luffy was the one who brought down Crockerdale in Alabasta. You I’ve never seen him show off everywhere.”
"I'm not saying this, I mean, the people above may want to"
In fact, when the news of Moria's defeat came, they, the senior navy officials, had already predicted that this would definitely happen. They just didn't know when the top government officials would take action. If Moria resigned from the Shichibukai, there would be another vacancy. .
