Chapter 509 Crane's Countermeasures
"Come here, Cooper, let's go to the top of the canyon." Arthur thought, took out a bottle of rum from the wine box, and shouted to Cooper beside him.
After receiving the order, Cooper immediately flew towards Arthur, grabbed his shoulders with his eagle claws and flew to the top of the Valley of the Gods.
"I want to go too, Lord Arthur!" Seeing this, Leia stood up and shouted with the wooden stick with fish on it.
The closest view to the moon, and being alone with Arthur, nothing could be more pleasant for her.
"Stay here. I want to be alone."
"Hmph!" Leia stamped her feet coquettishly, then squatted back by the campfire.
Arriving at the top of the Valley of the Gods, Arthur sat alone on the edge, holding rum and looking up at the moon.
The evening breeze blew Cooper's thick feathers. Apart from the sound of the wind, it was extremely quiet up there, and one could overlook the scenery of the entire Valley of the Gods.
If an ordinary person stayed here for a few minutes, his body temperature might drop so rapidly that it would affect his vital signs.
"Little guy, what do you think of them? There are more people on the boat. Are you getting used to it recently?" Arthur took a sip of wine and asked Cooper beside him.
"Cooper!" (At least there's no hint of betrayal!)
Cooper called out, responding to Arthur's question. They were both talking seriously at the moment, putting aside their usual playfulness and frolicking.
"Yeah, that guy is an honest man. He's cruel to outsiders, but as honest as a soldier in front of me." Arthur didn't question this.
If you want to understand a person, you can observe him in life.
Since Feng got on board, his daily life has been training, reading, training, and reading, strengthening himself all the time.
Born into a farming family, he has been tilling the land since he was a child. According to the physical constitution of ordinary people in this world, his physical foundation is very solid.
"Have fingers harder than tiger bones?" Arthur stared at the beach below.
"There are so many weird people in this world. I wonder how tough I am?"
Arthur was curious and grabbed the stone at the edge of the canyon with his five fingers.
With just a little effort, he easily picked off the stone like powder.
"I don't look like a human being at all..." He was strong and his old face turned dark.
"Cooper!" Cooper also tried it and crushed the stones on the edge into gravel. His training in the past three years has made obvious improvements.
After leaving the Valley of the Gods, he will go to O'Hara to stay for a while.
Then he passed by Wufeng and went to the Kingdom of Women, where Toritoma had ended the months-long war and kept clamoring to write letters to see him.
After meeting Toritoma, he will also go to the island where the soul fruit in his previous life was buried.
The Soul Cage is in the town of Wales in the Grand Line. The fruit was obtained by Arthur when he cut open the island, and countless wronged souls and corpses emerged from underneath. It was later swallowed by Ao Shuang, who chose the power of the Soul Cage.
In this life, he still wanted that ability, so he decided to see if the fruit still existed there.
"It's time to move on from the past, right?" Arthur gazed into the darkness, raised his glass to the bright moon.
"As a member of this world, learn to live freely and unrestrainedly, and transform from a primitive man into a civilized person."
Arthur is reconciling with himself in his heart, but he has no idea that an upcoming incident in the Valley of the Gods will have a huge impact on him.
Valley of the Gods, inside the town.
The hiding place of David's clan, who have been hunted by the government for eight hundred years.
Alice took Tiqi back to David's family.
"Dad! Give me the Den Den Mushi!"
"What's wrong, Alice?"
"Today I met the brat that Jibek was chasing a few months ago!"
Alice was searching for a Den Den Mushi in the room, hoping to bring a message to her husband who was far away in the New World.
She found the Den Den Mushi to contact Rocks, and when she was about to dial it, she suddenly hesitated.
Once the call is made, it means that the source of information will be detected by the Navy Communications Department, resulting in information leakage and the discovery of this place by the Navy.
"No!" Thinking of this, Alice put down the microphone and stopped dialing the phone.
"It will reveal our whereabouts."
Thinking of this, Alice sighed helplessly.
David's clan was ordered to be wiped out by the Celestial Dragons. Once they get to know the news, they will suffer a devastating disaster.
"Then don't fight him, daughter-in-law. He hasn't caused any trouble, has he?"
"Yes, just take good care of little Tiki." Rocks' mother picked up Tiki and rocked him in her arms.
"Let's not cause him any more trouble."
The David family lived a low-key and secluded life, and they were all in financial difficulty, with everyone looking ragged.
……
Grand Line, Marinford.
It's noon and the sun is shining brightly.
Headquarters Military Hospital, in the senior officers' ward.
"Lieutenant General Zhan Guo, the coldness in your body has finally been dispelled!"
"But you still need to rest for about a month for your body to fully recover."
After spending several months in the hospital, Zhan Guo's muscles had fully recovered. He lay shirtless on the hospital bed, staring at the scabbed scar on his chest.
The scar transmitted a chill throughout his body that nearly cost him his life.
"What's the situation in the New World?"
"Vice Admiral Garp and Vice Admiral Zephyr clashed with the Roger Pirates and blocked their return from the Final Island."
……
New World, G6 Base.
It rained heavily.
"Gion disappeared...disappeared!?"
"Lieutenant General, even the villagers on that island have been..."
The adjutant who reported in looked bewildered and could not describe the tragic situation of the village that disappeared in Gion.
"Oh...my God, silly child." He collapsed on the sofa weakly.
Her panicked expression showed that she knew what had happened.
"We went to headquarters to investigate the life cards and discovered that Gion's life card slot had disappeared."
As a high-ranking member of the navy, she knows almost all the ugly things, unlike Garp who only knows how to fight.
Among the four vice admirals, only Garp still doesn't know the secret of the Celestial Dragons. He is simply a fighting maniac.
However, with her current influence, she is simply not capable of saving Gion.
This was when the Celestial Dragons were about to descend to the mortal world in groups to hold an event.
"We must... think of other ways." Crane could not abandon his own responsibilities and future to oppose the Celestial Dragons.
You know, in the past, high-ranking officials disappeared from the world just because the secrets were leaked.
However, Gion no longer had any relatives in this world, and she had no idea where to find external help.
"Wait!" He suddenly thought of someone, "That Ice Sword Master seems to have a special connection with her!"
"Lieutenant General, are you saying that man knows Gion?"
"It's impossible that he doesn't know her!" Crane responded to the adjutant, "If he didn't know her and didn't have any special feelings for her, why did he defile Gion the first time he saw her? Moreover, as a pirate, he didn't kill her, but instead kept her safe the whole time!"
"Are you worrying too much?" The adjutant stared at He with dead eyes.
"Don't pirates always look like playboys?"
"What else can I do now? I took her in and acknowledged her as my adopted sister!
Now that she's facing this kind of thing, if I remain indifferent, it would seem like I don't care about her at all!"
He was powerless to deal with this, as the other party was a Celestial Dragon. If it were any other force, it would be easy to deal with.
The navy is originally loyal to the Celestial Dragons, so they can't act against the public interest for personal gain, right?
This is too frivolous and childish.
"Find a way to find him. Send a few plainclothes soldiers to his hometown to guard it. We will investigate the government's situation in real time."
