Chapter 40 Huge airship, unknown fate
The white giant airship is suspended and flying in the sky.
The gas-filled oval behemoth was getting closer and closer to the skies above the Merry.
"Wow haha, look at it. A huge balloon," Luffy said excitedly.
"Oh, what a strange thing. It really looks like a huge balloon. But there seems to be something under the balloon." Sanji observed the approaching huge airship and said.
Chopper jumped on top of Zoro's head and looked at the approaching giant airship.
"Wow, what a strange thing. Is that a flying fish or a flying Neptune?" Chopper said with his round eyes wide open.
Zoro patted Chopper on the top of his head and said, "Hey, come down. Who else would make such a huge balloon to play with. It's so boring."
Nami looked at the airship in the sky, pouted and said, "It's really strange. I have read so many nautical books, but I have never heard of someone making such a big balloon."
Weiwei, who was on the observation deck at the top of the mast, also came down.
Rogge looked at the huge airship that was approaching.
What is going on, but there must be someone on this airship.
The huge airship kept approaching, and the pod at the bottom of the huge airship was clearly visible.
At this time, inside the huge airship pod.
In a large captain's cabin, a group of navy soldiers wearing white clothes were at work.
An officer dressed as a general in a white cloak stood among the crowd.
The general is a middle-aged man, and there is hardly any flesh on his thin face.
Underneath a pair of blade-like eyes is an exaggerated and sharp hooked nose.
Suddenly, a naval sergeant ran up to him and raised his hands in salute.
"Major General Hawke, now a small pirate ship has been found on the sea below the front." Sergeant Hui reported.
The major general looked at the sergeant with sharp eyes, making him feel shuddering in his heart.
"Hmph, is it a pirate ship? Then just capture it directly." Major General Hawk said with a slender and powerful right hand.
If the sergeant in front of him could describe these hands, they were similar to the talons of an eagle.
The sergeant glanced at Major General Hawke's hand, then hurriedly said, "Yes, let's act now."
After the sergeant left, Lieutenant General Hawk carefully looked at his right hand.
"There is no good pirate, and this airship is in the experimental period. It is best to use pirates for experiments."
After finishing speaking, Major General Hawke's right hands were clenched together like an eagle's talons grasping its prey.The crisp sound of bones and joints can be heard clearly throughout the cabin.
On the deck of the Merry, Rogge, Luffy, Sanji and others looked up at the airship above.
After flying for a while, the giant airship finally flew above the Meli.
"It's so big..." Everyone sighed.
This giant airship hovering above the Merry looked down on the Merry on the sea below like a giant looking down on humans.
"I didn't expect that there is a pod under this huge balloon, it seems to be a kind of cabin." Nami looked up at the giant airship above and said.
Underneath the giant airship is a huge pod covered in white paint with windows.
The volume of this pod alone is more than ten times that of the Merry.
"It's like a flying ship." Sanji said as he took the cigarette butt away from his mouth.
"However, this flying ship actually installed a huge oval-shaped balloon on the ship." Sauron said.
Rogge looked up at the huge airship and said: "Since there is a pod, there must be someone here. And you can see that there is a propeller behind the airbag. That thing must be used to propel this guy to fly. However, on the contrary Who is in the earth?”
There are many, many powerful pirates on the Grand Line. Is it a pirate's airship, or...
At this moment, Lu Fei raised his hands and said happily: "Okay, then let's go up and have a look."
"No" Zoro, Nami and Usopp all shouted.
"I'm afraid there are strange people on board this strange flying ship, and it might cause trouble." Nami clenched her fists and said.
"I'm afraid it's not an ordinary person who can create such a monster that flies in the sky." Usopp said.
"After all, we still don't know the details of the other party, so we have to look at it first." Sauron said calmly.
For Sauron, he is not afraid of accidents.But who is in such a huge airship, if the other party has malicious intentions.And the airship has weapons, so the Straw Hat Pirates and the Merry have nowhere to escape.
"Hey, look. It seems to have lowered its altitude." Roger said while looking at the airship.
When everyone took a closer look, it turned out that the airship had dropped in height. Originally, the airship was about two thousand meters in the air. Now it seems to be only seven or eight hundred meters away from the sea.
"Could it be that we are being targeted?" Usopp said nervously.
"Yeah"
"ga"
Carew and Marianne were frightened together.
Luffy was even more excited. He had no sense of danger and wished he could get on the airship right away.
"If you are still in a daze, quickly turn the helm, or paddle," Nami scolded sternly.
"Let's do it, Miss Nami," Sanji said lovingly.
"Yes, yes, do it quickly." Usopp hurriedly moved.
But this airship's moving speed plus its volume made it too late for the Merry to even get out from under it.
Suddenly, the flying pod shot four huge grappling hooks toward the Merry below.
"what"
"what"
"ga"
"good friend"
Nami, Usopp, Karu and Marianne all shouted in fear.
Four grappling hooks hit four locations on both sides of the Merry's hull.
Behind the grapples are huge iron chains.
A great tremor followed, and the Merry began to rise.In other words, it was lifted upward by the grapple of the airship.
"We were kidnapped," Sanji said, looking at the grappling hooks and iron chains.
"Iron chains, damn them," Zoro said, walking on the iron chains with snow and slashing at them.
"Hahaha, we are flying in the air" Luffy said happily.
"Who is this?" Weiwei said anxiously.
Rogge looked at the approaching airship above, and said, "They are like this, I am afraid that the visitors are not good."
An unknown fate awaits everyone, and the Meili has already been pulled hundreds of meters into the air.
Now there is no escape, and everything on the airship is waiting for everyone.
