"It seems that Saint Topman Warcury is very satisfied with you."
As soon as the Den Den Mushi cut off the communication, Spandine looked at Alan next to him.
Alan smiled and shrugged.
"Thank you very much for the introduction, Lord Spandine..."
Alan looked confused and said to Spandine:
"I didn't expect you to have other missions, sir... If there's anything you need from the West Blue Navy, please let me know."
Spandine's face lit up and he patted Alan on the shoulder.
"Haha! Brother Alan, you're so thoughtful. In that case... please keep an eye on O'Hara for me!"
Alan touched his chin and almost wrote the word "doubt" on his face, looking completely clueless.
"...O'Hara? What could possibly be found in that remote place?"
O'Hara can be said to be the richest place, and of course it can also be said to be the poorest place.
For scholars, those books are the most precious treasures; but for ordinary people, it is indeed a deserted place.
Spandine handed the red wine directly to Alan and said mysteriously:
"Now is not the time for you to know. You will know it naturally later!"
Clang——
The clash of wine glasses created a wave of red ripples.
Looking at Spandine who was drinking fine wine, Alan's eyes were a little uncertain.
Aren't you just trying to turn me into a tool that obeys the World Government?
You want to use me? Then why can't I use you?!
Alan showed a wicked smile and took a sip of the wine in the glass...
...
A month later.
The Grand Line, an unknown sea area.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, heavy rain was pouring down, thunder was deafening, and the whole sky seemed to be torn apart by the lightning and thunder. The strong winds stirred up huge waves, and the sound shook the earth and sky!
An ordinary ship, like a fAlan leaf swaying in the wind.
Faced with the mighty power of nature, all we can do is let it take its course.
On the shaking deck, the crew struggled to fold the sails.
"Olivia! Go check out the rubbings of the Poneglyph… Nothing can happen to them!"
Upon hearing this, a white-haired woman rushed into the leaking cabin and sorted out piles of parchment with a serious expression.
Only then can you see her full appearance.
She has long white hair, dark green eyes, wheat-colored skin, a tall figure, an elegant appearance and a beautiful face.
At this moment, she carefully packed all the rubbings into a waterproof wooden box.
Just then!
boom!!
Boom boom!!
A rumbling sound was heard.
Everyone on the boat thought it was the sound of thunder and continued to carry out their work in an orderly manner.
The next second, several pitch-black shells hit the ship directly!
A huge hole was blown directly on the deck by the shell, and heavy rain hit everyone's faces violently.
In an instant, in the hazy darkness, several flashes of lightning streaked across the sky, and the shadows of several large ships could be vaguely seen.
It seemed as if even the strongest storm could not shake the ships at all.
Everyone looked solemnly at the large ships that surrounded them.
Soon after, their figures all appeared in front of everyone... At this time they looked nervous and their eyes were almost popping out.
That's right, four large warships, one of which was Spandine's warship.
"Y-It's the World Government and the Navy!!"
"...Did they still find out?!"
"Damn it!…Is that the end!?"
On the Spandine warship, several large black umbrellas slowly opened.
Tap tap tap!!!
The sound of Spandine's footsteps seemed to be trampling on everyone's hearts.
At this time, there were strong winds, heavy rain, lightning, tsunamis and a depressing atmosphere.
Spandine said condescendingly:
"You little rats... you've finally been caught!"
"Damn it! You are the running dog of the world government!!" The leading scholar started cursing.
Spandine ignored the scholar's final curse and took the umbrella from his men, turning his back to the crowd and saying:
"Try to leave as many people alive as possible..."
The World Government and navy soldiers surrounded the scholars, but they seemed to have underestimated the determination of the archaeologists in front of them.
Just as the CP9 people were about to enter the cabin, the scholars' resistance became increasingly fierce.
"Everyone, let's fight them!!"
But their resistance was doomed to failure.
The next second, the men in black from CP9 grabbed Olivia's white hair and dragged her out.
"Chief Spandine! A large number of rubbings of Poneglyph were found in the cabin!" A man in black reported respectfully.
Hearing the words "Poneglyph", Spandine's eyes gradually became fanatical and his body trembled with excitement.
Isn't the opportunity for promotion here again? !
"Hehehe!! Doesn't that mean we have both witnesses and evidence?!"
Spandine's eyes gradually became sick, and he glanced at Olivia.
"That woman left behind... and the other respected scholars. Since they want to die, then let them do it!"
"No!!" Olivia, who was slumped on the ground, screamed hysterically.
BANG BANG BANG!!!
After a few gunshots, smoke billowed from the black muzzles, and the scholars fell to the ground one after another, losing their lives. Even the blood that flowed out was washed away by the heavy rain!
At this moment, on the navy ship, a huge figure was looking at the scene in front of him with blank eyes, liquid flowing from the corners of his eyes, making it difficult to tell whether it was rain or tears.
I saw him, with long orange hair and beard surrounding his face like a lion's mane, wearing a navy cloak and a navy baseball cap.
"Vice Admiral Saul, do we need help?!"
Jaguar D. Saul, a giant, is currently the vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters. He has been appointed by the headquarters to participate in the capture and exploration of historical ships many times!
Saul looked at the almost crazy actions on another warship. Dozens of scholars were slaughtered because of a disagreement!
He couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Is this the justice of the navy?!
At this moment, Spandine came to Saul and laughed wildly:
"Hahaha... Vice Admiral Saul, we made an invaluable contribution this time! The Five Elders will definitely reward you!"
"...I'm taking her to the nearest base for interrogation right now!!"
Spandine looked at Spandine jumping around below him like an annoying fly.
The justice of the navy actually serves people like this!!
He didn't understand why the navy would do this! Assisting in the massacre, wasn't that also an accomplice?
At this moment, he began to waver. He didn't understand why these scholars should be executed. He believed that it would be enough to catch them and there was no need to harm their lives!
Saul turned and left with a lonely look...
Seeing this, Spandine couldn't help but pursed his lips and snorted coldly:
"Tsk tsk, I brought you military merit for free, and not only did you not thank me, you even dared to give me the cold shoulder..."
Then he gave orders to his men:
"Let's go to the nearest base... I can't wait!!"
Hahaha!!!
