Chapter 765 Air Raid
...
"Lord Gel! Lord Gel! These are all freshly caught fish! Take a look and pick any fish you want to eat today!"
On the fishing boats moored at the pier, the fishermen greeted him enthusiastically. They all knew that their master loved fishing, but it was impossible for him to catch any fish.
"Get out of the way! Can't you see I'm fishing? I can't even finish all the fish I caught, why do I need to go to your boat to pick them up? Take them to the market and sell them. If you keep showing off here, I'll kick you!"
Gel cursed angrily.
"Hahaha, all right then! Lord Nager, take your time fishing, we won't disturb you."
The old fishermen all laughed. Although they had been gone for a long time, the adults were still the same adults and would still joke with these insignificant little people.
Ger smiled and waved goodbye to the fishermen, then talked to himself after they walked away.
"It seems that this fishing ban does make some sense. Due to overfishing, there are no big fish in the sea anymore."
After fishing for half a day, he only caught three or two small fish the size of fingers. He also saw that all the fishing boats that went out to sea to fish on the island returned with full loads. Even a smart man like Captain Gel could only make up this excuse to comfort himself.
"How is it possible? How is it possible that there are no fish in this sea?"
Yamato expressed doubt.
"How could I not catch fish?"
"Could it be..."
"Don't be stubborn. You won't understand even if I tell you."
The ignorant Yamato wanted to continue exploring, but was interrupted by Captain Gol in a decisive manner.
“Woo~ woo~!”
As they were talking, the air raid alarm on Bird's Nest Island suddenly sounded.
"What is this? An enemy attack?"
Ger looked up in confusion.
...
"It's okay. Maybe some large bird flew over here by mistake? The outer energy shield didn't open automatically, which means it's not a big problem."
"With you all here, there is no need to be afraid even if the enemy really attacks!"
"That's right! It's no exaggeration to say that the defense of our Bird's Nest Island is countless times stronger than the Navy Headquarters!"
The residents on the street were talking heatedly but were not panicking. The adults simply took their elderly and children back to their houses in an orderly manner, waiting for the alarm to be lifted.
The fog overhead was so thick that one could not see clearly with the naked eye what was approaching, but the fully automatic anti-aircraft turrets developed by Vegapunk and deployed on the island were already clicking into action, with the muzzles pointed in the same direction and launching an attack!
"Tu tu tu tu!!"
Thousands of high-rate turrets fired at the same time, and countless bright spots instantly gathered into a large net and shot into the thick fog.
"Hahaha Marco, it looks like we're being treated as enemies!"
Ace said with a smile while hanging on the bird's claws.
"Oh no, this is not something to be happy about!"
Marco looked helpless.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Ace clenched his fists and orange flames began to appear on his arms.
"fire…!"
"Hey! Stop it now, Ace. If you fight back, it will only deepen the misunderstanding! Then it will be hard to explain."
Marco stopped Ace who was about to attack, then quickly folded his blue wings and stood in front of the two men.
"Tu Tu Tu!"
Dense light bullets hit the wings, and Marco's face changed drastically.
"Oh! No! It's a seastone bullet!"
"Bang bang bang!!"
Everyone on the ground saw two balls of flame, one blue and one red, falling from the sky!
Fortunately, after seeing who was coming, Ginny promptly ordered the alarm and attack to be lifted, so the artillery only fired one round of light bullets and then stopped shooting, otherwise the two of them would have been shot to pieces.
According to Captain Gol, the enemies that come from the sky are probably people with special abilities, right? If they don't get some seastone bullets, they won't even bother to dodge.
Captain Gill has always had a deep prejudice against bullets. Even though the most advanced weapons developed by Vegapunk are powerful, Gill still thinks that bullets can't kill people.
"Bang! Captain Gill, these are the two men."
Yamato throws the two "intruders" in front of Captain Geer.
"It's us, Brother Geer. It's all a misunderstanding."
Gel looked at Marco and Ace, who had bruised faces and noses, and tried not to laugh.
"No, it's only been a few days. How come you two are back again? And you didn't even tell me you were coming. You just flew over here from the sky. Do you think that the fortifications built on my island, which cost trillions of berries and were personally built by the world's most talented scientists, are just for show?"
As soon as Marco and Ace opened their mouths, they were scolded.
"I'm really sorry, Brother Geer. We were too reckless."
Marco apologized honestly, and Ace bowed politely.
"Tell me, Xiao Ma, what's the matter with you guys coming to see me? Could it be that Whitebeard will die once he returns? Then there's nothing I can do. There's no way to cure an illness. Please accept my condolences."
Gel looked at the two and said.
Marco and Ace's mouths twitched when they heard this. Only this guy in front of them dared to curse their respected father Whitebeard in front of them. After all, it was he who saved their father's life. If it were someone else, he would have to use the Phoenix Inca Fire Fist.
"Brother Geer, please rest assured. Since receiving treatment from you, my father's health has improved a lot. He looks like he is 20 years younger!"
As the ship's doctor, Marco knew best how bad his father's health was before. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a lamp on the run or a candle in the wind. The Battle of Marineford had caused serious damage to his internal organs, which were already on the verge of failure. But now when talking about Whitebeard's physical condition, he couldn't help but smile, and he was full of admiration for Gol's medical skills.
"Since Whitebeard is fine, the fact that you two are here at this time is even more problematic!"
Gel frowned and guessed.
"Could it be that the old fellow Whitebeard is still scheming and thinks he is good enough now that he has recovered, so he plans to break his promise to me and return to the martial arts world? Or is it that you young people can't stand the loneliness of retired life?"
Ace showed a somewhat ashamed expression on his face, and just as he was about to open his mouth to defend Whitebeard, Marco took the lead.
"How could that be, Brother Ge Er? You misunderstood again. Daddy values his promises the most, and we will never go back on the agreement we made with you."
"Huh? Then what exactly do you want to do? Just tell me."
Ger turned around and asked curiously.
Marco sat down on the grass and continued.
"Dad means that Ace is still very young, only 20 years old this year. It would be a waste of his talent to hide his identity and become a country bumpkin! ... So I want to ask you, Brother Gel, if you can let Brother Ace come to your place and help with chores or something."
Marco said with an awkward smile.
"what?"
...
