Chapter 252 Return to the Fortress

"Bulu Bulu..."

The Den Den Mushi in the room rang.

Jonathan turned around to answer the Den Den Mushi.

Wang Hao watched helplessly as Robin used his ability to swing onto the Merry.

"That Shapard is indeed a fake." Jonathan also received a report from his subordinates and said in the house.

"Wang Hao, aren't you going with us?" Luffy shouted on the Merry.

"It's not time yet!" Wang Hao waved his hand and replied, "Be careful of the artillery fire!"

"Boom boom..."

The shells bombarded the sea around the Merry.

"They're coming!" Luffy shouted to the others.

Behind the Merry, the navy ships also caught up.

The Merry was visibly rushing towards the exit.

Upon seeing this, Wang Hao turned around and went back into the room again, sitting leisurely on the sofa, sensing the spore technique and watching the movements of the Merry.

Luffy used a rubber balloon to blow open the door. Everyone was praising Luffy when they saw you suddenly running towards the cabin in panic.

"We've been tricked and all the treasures are gone!" Nami's hoarse voice rang out.

The Merry, following the smoke from the explosion, rushed towards the gate, and the naval ships behind it followed in.

Luffy's domineering luck came into play again, and the reefs and shallows did not pose any problem for the Merry.

"It's the open sea. We can get out by just going straight ahead." Luffy said standing at the bow.

"You can't go out!" Nami shouted.

"What?" Everyone looked at Nami.

"Drive the ship back and turn around!" Nami said, "Hurry up, we have to go into the fortress again. All the gold has been taken away by the navy."

"What did you say?" Zoro asked with his eyes wide open.

"But, but, are you serious?" Usopp asked, "Nami, we barely managed to escape death."

"Seriously, of course I am serious, very serious!" Nami said seriously, "Even if we can escape, it will be meaningless if all the gold is gone, right?"

"Once money is involved, her words have an inexplicable persuasiveness." Chopper said to Nami.

"Nami-san is so great like this." Sanji was infatuated with her again.

"But, we finally made such a big hole." Luffy pointed at the door and said, "Are we not going out like this?"

"We are pirates, right, Luffy?" Nami said, "Don't you think it is a great shame for pirates to hand over the treasure gold to others?"

"Ah, that's right." Luffy responded.

"Okay, it's decided. Turn the rudder to the right and turn the boat around. We are going back to the fortress." Nami said.

Everyone responded, and the Merry turned around, passed by the naval ship ringing its bell in the smoke, and returned to the fortress.

"Bulu Bulu..."

Jonathan picked up the Den Den Mushi again.

"I'm very sorry. We just arrived at the open sea, but we lost the pirate ship. It's like it disappeared by magic." Drake's voice came from the Den Den Mushi.

"That's true." Jonathan said.

"what?"

"Nothing, thank you for your hard work, you can come back first." Jonathan said, "I will tell you the details of the future battle plan when you come back."

"They will never run away as long as their dreams remain in this fortress, right, Mr. Wang Hao?" Jonathan said.

"What are you going to do next?" Wang Hao asked with a smile.

"Well, the Straw Hat Boys should be in this area now." Jonathan tapped the map and said, "I still want to use them, but let's wait for them to show up on their own."

Sensing that Luffy and his crew had spent an entire afternoon disguising the Merry as a navy ship, Wang Hao had dinner with Jonathan at his invitation.

"Well~ What are you doing? Why are you still standing here? You can leave now." Jonathan looked at his healthy meal, glanced dejectedly at a cook standing next to him and said.

"I will keep watching until you put it in your mouth and swallow it." The cook said, "This is the order of our chef. Even if someone is watching you eat in your office, the rules are the rules. Please don't leave any leftovers."

"Well~Jessica, that bastard." Jonathan rubbed his forehead helplessly.

"Puka, kaka, kaka..." The musketeer captain laughed secretly beside him.

"Please have your meal too, Sergeant," the cook said without turning his head.

"Huh?" The Musketeer Captain turned around and looked at the cook in surprise.

"We have prepared a lot, please enjoy it slowly." As he said this, a plate of noodles was placed in front of Wang Hao.

"Sergeant, don't you like broccoli?" Jonathan asked.

"No, I don't like tomatoes and carrots," replied the Musketeer Captain.

"Suck it..."

They both looked at Wang Hao who was already eating.

"Is there anything you don't like to eat?" Jonathan asked.

"No, all the food must be eaten as soon as it is cooked. We cannot waste food." Wang Haoxuan was very happy.

"Squeak..."

The door opened and Derek walked in.

"Oh, Major." Jonathan looked at Drake.

"You are having a meal, so I'll go out first." He came to see her alone and saluted.

"No, this is a special case." Jonathan hurriedly stopped him, "You came at the right time. I was just about to call you."

Jonathan put down his cutlery, stood up and walked towards Drake.

"Commander, I'm very sorry that I let the Straw Hat Pirates escape three times," Drake apologized.

"Let's not talk about that right now," Jonathan said enthusiastically, hugging Derek. "By the way, have you eaten?"

"Huh? Not yet." Drake said.

"No, no, this won't do. You can't win a battle on an empty stomach." Jonathan pulled Drake to his seat, "Besides, you are the leader, otherwise your subordinates will not eat."

Jonathan pushed Drake into his seat and said, "You're welcome. Just eat."

If you don’t like something, you will naturally drag your friends to eat it together.

After dinner, the three of them got busy and Jonathan began to make arrangements.

Suddenly, a man walked in.

"Oh, hello, hello, hello, Cotriano... No, no, my apology, special prosecutor, Lieutenant Colonel Shepard." Jonathan said as he watched the man walk to his desk.

"Commander Jonathan, it looks like you let the Straw Hat Pirates escape," Shepard said, looking down at Jonathan and looking at him with his nose.

"No way! They are probably still lurking in this fortress," said Jonathan.

"Really? Because you know this, you are having a leisurely meal here, especially with pirates. The world is really peaceful." Shepard glanced at Wang Hao and said, "The rumor that you are hedgehogs who think the world is peaceful is really true. Humph, excuse me."

"It's nothing, don't worry about it." Jonathan leaned back in his chair and said.
