#73 - Chapter 73 G-5
Waves rolled, and the salty sea breeze stimulated every cell in my body.
"Jinan! Jinan! Look!"
Olga rushed to Jinan's side, pointing to the front of the ship they were on.
"Olga, you're over 200 years old. When will you be able to calm down?"
Jinan was dragged by Olga to the front of the ship. When he saw the ship ahead, he couldn't help but curse.
"Damn, finally seeing a warship..."
A blurry shadow appeared where the sea and sky met.
Vaguely, the outline and sails of the ship became clearer and clearer, and the navy's logo was particularly striking in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Jinan's spirits lifted, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. He immediately realized that this was an opportunity to escape this sea area.
They had been drifting at sea for nearly a month, and the food in the plundered pirate ship's inventory had long been exhausted. Now they were living on various fish in the sea.
At first, Jinan directly took the three people and several aquatic lizards through the air at high speed, but after flying for a few days, they did not see any new islands.
In the end, they could only randomly select a lucky pirate ship as their temporary resting place.
At this time, the four people gathered on the deck, looking at the warship in the distance together.
The eyes of the four people met at this moment. Without words, they could understand each other's thoughts.
"G-5..." Olga stood on tiptoe and finally saw the words on the warship's sail clearly.
"Is this the name of your navy unit?" Toki Amatsuki was not so familiar with the navy.
"That's right."
Jinan returned to the middle of the ship, strenuously adjusting the sails, guiding the pirate ship towards the oncoming warship.
"We won't be mistaken for pirates and sunk by them, will we..." Ashier looked at the pirate flag fluttering in the wind, his heart trembling uneasily with the flag.
"Don't be afraid, the navy won't open fire casually," Jinan assured.
The waves gradually rolled up white foam, and the shadow of the warship became closer and closer on the sea.
Toki Amatsuki and Olga looked forward to it, their hearts beating faster as the distance shortened, their eyes sparkling, because they knew that they could eat fresh food.
"Rumble!!!"
Countless shells spewed out from the G-5 warship, directly shattering the ship Jinan and the others were on.
"Aaaaaah..."
Olga and the others screamed loudly, grabbing the railing and about to fall into the sea.
Whoosh...
A gust of wind blew, and the three people who were falling were gently lifted by the wind and suspended in the air.
The warship's artillery fire continued, and the shells sealed off the entire area where Jinan and the others were located in an instant.
Jinan slashed out with his sword, and all the shells were split in half in an instant and fell into the sea.
"The warship in front, we have no malice, stop firing."
A loud roar spread throughout the sea, and the world seemed to stop at this moment, falling into a silence.
But it was only quiet for that moment.
After that, the warship continued to fire shells continuously.
"They seem to think we are pirates..." Toki Amatsuki shouted loudly in the sound of gunfire.
Jinan also knew that it was the pirate ship they were on that made the other party attack at all costs. Now, they could only get closer to the warship and then explain.
He stepped on the air, and his whole person was like an arrow leaving the string, rushing towards the warship.
He launched an attack on the navy.
"..."
After a moment.
"I've explained it very clearly, right..."
Jinan looked down at the navymen who were tied up with ropes, explaining for the fourth time helplessly.
"You've already tied us up, and you still want to deceive us."
"That's right, if you want to kill us, just do it directly. What's the point of saying so much!"
"If my head falls off, it's just a big scar. I wouldn't be a man if I even groaned!"
The navymen lay on the deck, glaring at Jinan and the others.
"I'm a navy! You guys kept pointing guns at us. For safety, I had no choice but to tie you up."
Jinan covered his head. He found that he couldn't communicate with these navymen at all.
It was useless to repeat it so many times. What exactly was in these navymen's heads...
The navymen obviously didn't believe it. It all went in one ear and out the other.
"Uncle, do you understand navigation knowledge?" Toki Amatsuki walked out of the warship's control room, holding a permanent pointer in her hand.
Ashier shook his head. Although he was a scientist, navigation touched on his blind spot.
"Oh, a permanent pointer."
Jinan's eyes lit up, and he took the thing from Toki Amatsuki's hand and examined it carefully.
"With this thing, we won't get lost."
Toki Amatsuki was a little helpless when she heard Jinan's words, "It seems that none of us know how to drive a warship..."
"Moreover, we don't know where this permanent pointer is pointing. If we follow the pointer, will we encounter any danger?"
What Toki Amatsuki said was not a problem for Jinan. Although he couldn't be said to be proficient in these things, he still knew a little bit about everything.
Driving a warship was just a piece of cake for him.
"Leave it all to me!" Jinan patted his chest and assured.
If it really didn't work, he could still use Flame Cloud to carry the warship. This little thing could be easily solved.
"..."
The latter half of the Grand Line, G-5 Branch.
"Reporting, Vice Admiral, the New World is still a calm day today." A navy was giving a daily report to the superior leaning on the sofa.
"Understood." Maldo waved his hand, interrupting his subordinate's report.
"Is there any progress on the matter that Garp told us to do?"
The navy stood at attention, "Reporting, Vice Admiral, our patrolmen have not found anything yet."
"Just pay attention when patrolling, don't forget our mission!" Maldo said seriously.
The G-5 Branch is the only base of the navy in the New World. They are stationed here for only one thing.
To eliminate as many pirates as possible who enter the New World.
This also means that they can only fight alone, and the help that the Navy Headquarters can give them is very, very little.
They are accompanied by danger every day, and the entrance of the base is covered with the corpses of pirates who attacked the base.
"Received!" The navy saluted and then retreated.
"..."
A tired sigh came from the dim room.
"Sigh..."
"The sea is getting more and more chaotic. I don't know how much longer I can last..."
After that, the room returned to silence.
"..."
On the other side.
"Navymen, get up and eat." Olga hopped to the front of the navymen.
A pot of fragrant mixed stewed rice emitted an enticing aroma on the small cart behind her.
The navymen's noses twitched involuntarily, and the aroma of the rice permeated their hearts.
"Move the rice away. Who knows what you put in the food."
"That's right, we would rather starve to death today and jump off the ship than eat anything you make!"
Olga was too lazy to care about them. She wanted to continue eating some.
She put the small cart in front of them and eagerly ran into the kitchen.
"Hey! Little girl... if you don't release us, how can we eat..."
