Chapter 248 Three-party trends
"But it will take some time for Major Drake to reach Dock No. 88," Captain Musketeer said to Jonathan in the office.
"That's true." Jonathan unfolded the fortress map. "Thinking of Dock No. 88, they have no choice but to pass through this bridge. As long as we hold this place, we will be safe. Lead them to the second level of the fortress bridge. As long as we strengthen the defense of the fortress bridge, no matter how powerful they are, it will not be easy for them to pass through. Then we can buy some time there."
"So that's it." The musketeer captain suddenly realized.
"Which unit should be assigned this important task next?" Jonathan thought, "It seems that only those guys can do it."
As Jonathan gave the order with sweat dripping down his face, the Baron elite troops, the 55th troops, and the Gale Special Forces.
……
In the infirmary, because of the sirens, Corbat was walking towards Nami and Chopper and stopped the two who were about to jump out of the window to escape.
"Uh, hey, ah, Doctor Corbatto." Nami hugged Chopper nervously.
"I'm sorry, I lied to you." Chopper was sweating as he tried to explain, "Yes, we are pirates."
"Let's run away." Kobato grabbed Chopper and Nami's hands, "They said there are pirates in the base. It's so scary. They also said there are people pretending to be doctors."
"Ah?" Nami and Chopper were stunned when they heard this.
"You two might be in danger too," said Corbatto.
"Uh, this..." Chopper was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say. In the end, he told the truth, "Actually, the pirates were the two of us."
Kobatto did not react and just stood there in a daze.
"I said we are pirates!" Chopper repeated again in a fierce voice.
"Although it's a bit shameless, you seem like a good person, so please," Nami said, "please tell us where the dock is. We can't waste a moment."
"Ah!~" Kobatto, whose brain circuit reaction arc was extremely slow, finally reacted and screamed loudly, "Pirates!"
"Ahhh..." Chopper and Nami ran around the operating room nervously, and Corbatto fainted out of fright.
"Dr. Corbatto, what's wrong with you, Dr. Corbatto..." The guards outside began to bang on the door.
"Something happened inside."
"Let's crash in."
The two gatekeepers began to bang on the door.
When the Marines broke open the door, they saw Kobato and Nami lying on the ground, looking like they had fainted.
"Hey, cheer up." A marine helped Nami up and shouted.
Another Marine began checking each patient's cubicle one by one.
"Pirate, the pirate ran away from the ventilation duct." Nami pretended to be awakened and said, then began to check on Corbat's condition, while the small Chopper hid in the patient's bed.
"What, escaped through the vent?" The two marines began to check the vent.
"He escaped from there, right?" asked another navy officer.
"Yes, yes, go catch it." Nami said.
The two marines climbed into the ventilation duct, and Cobatto woke up faintly.
"You're awake, Doctor Kobat..." Nami said with concern.
"Ah..." Just as Kobato was about to shout, Nami covered his mouth.
"I'm sorry. I understand that you want to scream, but can you be quiet for a moment?" Nami asked in a low voice.
Kobatto nodded.
"Nami." Chopper called softly.
The two looked over and saw Chopper hiding behind the curtain.
"Let's run away from here quickly." Chopper said in a low voice.
"Speaking of which...you..." Kobato pointed at Chopper.
"Hey? Me?" Chopper was stunned when he heard that, "Oh, it's me."
With that, Chopper transformed into his power form.
"Well, because I ate the devil fruit, I can transform." Chopper said embarrassedly, scratching his head.
Kobatto will be petrified again in the same place.
"I say, Dr. Corbatto, I know it's hard for you to understand this, but I don't have time to explain it to you now," said Nami.
"It's okay, I won't be surprised no matter what happens now," said Corbatto.
"Then we'll go first." Nami stood up and said, "I don't know when those two marines will come back."
"Wait a minute, Mr. Deer." Kobatto suddenly said, "Even though you are a pirate, you are incredible, Mr. Deer. You taught me what kind of mentality a doctor should have. Well, I want to do something to repay you."
"No need for rewards." Chopper put his hands on the back of his head and shook them from side to side, already speaking incoherently with joy, "And I'm not a deer, I'm a raccoon cat."
"Oh, sorry." Kobatto said, "By the way, you guys are looking for the dock, right? If you don't mind, I'll lead the way."
"Are you going to take us there?" Nami said in surprise.
"But if you help us, it will cause trouble for you," Chopper said.
"You're right, but..." Kobatto suddenly clapped his hands, "If we're discovered, we'd better pretend to be hostages."
"Good idea." Chopper and Nami clapped their hands and said in unison.
"I hope I can help," said Corbatto.
The three of them discussed it and started to act.
……
On Luffy's side, the four of them had already sneaked to the vicinity of the bridge and were watching from behind the rocks.
"There seems to be no one in this area." Usopp said.
"No, don't be careless." Luffy stood up and said, "Uncle Fortress is not easy to deal with."
"You are the one who cannot be careless!" Sanji pressed Luffy's head down.
"Just go through there and you will reach Dock 88, where the Golden Merry is parked." Usopp said, looking under the bridge.
"But, there seems to be a lot of trouble over there." Sanji said to the guards under the bridge.
"How's it going over there?" Luffy asked, looking at the bridge.
"It seems to be barely acceptable." Usopp said as the four of them looked at the bridge.
"But it's strange, there's no one here." Zoro wondered, "It's like they're trying to lure us in by saying 'Come over here'."
"A trap...right." Sanji said.
"Trap!" Usopp was shocked.
"It doesn't matter which side we go. We have decided to go out anyway." Luffy said, rubbing his hands.
"Thinking about trouble will only cause more trouble." Zoro said with a smile.
"Who cares about that trap? It has nothing to do with us," said Sanji.
The three of them ran out directly.
"Hey, Luffy, Sanji, even Zoro..." Usopp opened his mouth wide and shouted in surprise, "Ah, I don't want to go."
Usopp complained and followed.
"Even if I can deal with the traps myself, I can't take care of you. If I can't save you, you'll be dead."
"Ah, but please help me if I'm in danger."
"At least reply..."
Following Usopp's shout, the four of them ran towards the bridge.
