Chapter 280: World Pirates x Purpose
"It's them." Looking at the familiar faces, Xia Jieren said suddenly.
Then, he asked with some doubt: "I don't remember offending them?"
"Master! Their goal should be to mine good ore."
"All the refined ore in Mining Base No. 3 has been attacked and sold out."
Kerrigan released a few more pictures of the warehouse, and it can be seen that the mountains of ore in the warehouse have all disappeared.
"MMP, someone actually stole it from me." Xia Jieren said unhappily.
Although the loss of this little bit of ore was insignificant to him, it was still uncomfortable to be treated like an ATM.
"Do you know where those guys are?" Xia Jieren asked Kerrigan.
“The exact location is not clear at the moment.”
"But judging by their ultimate destination and the direction of their escape, they should be in the Calm Belt," Kerrigan speculated.
"What is the purpose of the World Pirates? To build a ship that allows them to sail freely on the sea?" Xia Jieren remembered the dream of the World Pirates in the animated film "One Piece 3D2Y".
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the remnants of the World Pirates were likely staying in the Calm Belt.
You have to know that the ship that the World Pirates want to build is not small. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mobile fortress on the sea.
If this ship were built on an inhabited island, it would most likely attract the attention of the World Government.
As for the doldrums, it seems dangerous, but it is just that dangerous for some strong people. What's more, they can install seastone on the bottom of the ship to safely enter and exit the doldrums.
However, the Calm Belt is too large, and searching for the remnants of the World Pirates in it is a time-consuming and laborious task.
Thinking of this, Xia Jieren sighed: "Oh...what a hassle."
"Let's let those guys go for now." Xia Jieren said this helplessly.
Then, he ordered: "Pay attention to strengthening the security and reconnaissance work of the mining base."
"If they dare to come again, we must locate them this time."
"Yes!" Kerrigan responded, and then began to clean up the mess at Mining Base No. 3.
Xia Jieren opened more than a dozen mining bases on some unowned islands to meet the ore needs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
The islands where mining bases are set up are generally far away from human habitation, making mining extremely difficult.
Unless the minerals here are extremely valuable gemstone mines and rare metal mines, the various forces will simply not waste manpower and resources on such an island.
These low-value minerals are useless to other forces, but they are very valuable to Xia Jieren who owns the worker bees.
There is almost no mining and transportation cost, and it is a huge profit as long as it is transported to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, so Xia Jieren has been looking for ore on uninhabited islands.
Time passes quickly like running water.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed since the attack on Mining Base No. 3.
Late at night, on the sea not far from Mining Base No. 3, two figures rushed quickly towards the island where Mining Base No. 3 was located.
Under the bright moonlight, the two figures did not move at all, but waves were rising on the sea, making it feel like they were gliding on the sea.
Soon, they arrived at the edge of the island.
The Hydralisk, which had been lying in ambush, quickly launched an attack.
Countless spines attacked, and the two people on the sea were not afraid of this situation. Instead, the corners of their mouths curled up slightly.
After nimbly dodging the spines, they jumped high and knocked down the ambushing hydralisk in just a few moves.
The hydralisks died in extremely miserable ways. Some died of poisoning, some were smashed into meat patties, and some were directly decomposed into very regular cubes.
Under the command of the brain worm, the worker bees in the mines gave up their work and swarmed in.
"Haha~, this time I can move my body around for a while." One person said with a smile.
"Hehe~, don't play too hard." Another person reminded.
"I see."
The worker bees that could easily kill saber-toothed tigers and other ferocious beasts were like paper in front of these two people and were completely wiped out in less than half an hour.
Under the moonlight, the ground was dyed dark green by the blood of the worker bees.
The two walked towards the warehouse.
"Haha~, this time the harvest is so huge." Looking at the mountain of ore, the man holding the huge hammer said happily.
"Hehe~, yes. If we come here once a month, the construction of the Gulusayadi will be much easier." The thin woman was also very happy.
At this time, Den Den Mushi rang.
Blue ~ Blue ~ Blue ~
Kacha~
"Cough... cough... Gayram, how's the situation over there?" A weak voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
"Bin Jack, are you okay?" Gayram asked with concern, then smiled and shared, "This time we have a great harvest, enough for us to use for a month."
"That's good... In that case, you should come back quickly and don't stay any longer."
"After all, it is the mining base of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, so we shouldn't stay there for long." Bin Jack said softly.
"Hey~ Hey, Bin Jack, you are too cautious. Even if the Netherlands finds out, what can you do?"
"Killing these bugs is as easy as killing chickens." Gayram laughed wildly.
"Gayram, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is not that simple." Binjack said seriously.
"Anyway, come back first and we'll talk." After saying that, Bin Jack hung up the phone.
"Really? I don't know why Binjack is so cautious." Gayram curled his lips and complained.
Then he activated his devil fruit ability on the ore in the warehouse.
The iron ore that was originally piled up in a mess was compressed into cubes more than three meters high.
After a moment, Gayram carried the sledgehammer and said with a smile, "Let's go, Naqin."
Dozens of ore cubes were suspended in the air, following behind Gayram.
"What a convenient ability." Naqin smiled when he saw this scene.
Their figures gradually disappeared into the night.
When they were not paying attention, several mosquito-sized insects quietly crawled into Gayram's clothes.
"Sebastian, sorry to have kept you waiting. Thank you for taking a walk." Gayram greeted.
"Nothing." Sebastian smiled indifferently, then jumped into the sea, revealing his broad back.
Gayram and Naqin jumped up with ease.
Soon, their figures completely disappeared.
The next day.
"Comfortable!" Xia Jieren woke up and stretched lazily.
After Xia Jieren regained consciousness, Kerrigan's voice rang in his heart: "Master, Mining Base No. 3 was robbed again last night."
"Ha~" Xia Jieren was stunned. "What happened? I slept for a while and someone broke into my house again."
Kerrigan repeated, "Last night, the World Pirates visited Mining Base No. 3 again."
