Chapter 489 Listen to the Voice of All Things! (Two in One)

Zeffer's warship turned, and their route was completely different from the route previously recorded in the headquarters.

However, Zephyr did not report the change of route to the Navy Headquarters, and he did not intend to inform Sengoku.

While waiting for the ship to be coated in the Sabaody Archipelago, Zephyr also asked for several permanent record pointers to Fishman Island from the Navy branch stationed on the island.

There is no connection between the Navy Headquarters and Fishman Island, but Fishman Island is nominally a member of the World Government, and the Navy actually has information on the route to Fishman Island.

It only took two days, and everything was ready.

One afternoon, Zephyr's warship sank to the bottom of the sea after sailing hundreds of meters out of the port.

On the deck of the warship, Ace and Sabo, who were full of yearning for the underwater world, watched the warship sink to the sea, and all exclaimed.

"Wow!"

"It can really sink underwater!"

"Can a warship sail in the sea? It's really amazing!"

"The seawater is isolated outside!"

The warship's diving depth is not very deep, and the diving speed is also very slow. This is to allow the surface coating to gradually adapt to the pressure. If the diving speed is too fast, the coating has a certain probability of breaking due to the sudden change in water pressure.

At the same time, this is also to give the crew some time to adapt to the underwater environment.

Above the warship, the sea surface is sparkling with golden light. Luffy raised his little head and looked at the shining sea surface above, exclaiming repeatedly.

Luffy has never seen such an underwater scene.

Beside him, Ace and Sabo also looked around curiously. Although the depth of the warship's diving gradually deepened, colorful and strange-shaped sea fish would swim around the warship from time to time.

Fish, corals and other creatures in the shallow sea area can still sense the existence of sunlight, and both their shapes and appearances are still relatively "worldly".

However, as the surrounding environment became darker and darker, the size and appearance of the fish that swam past the warship from time to time became more and more "deep".

After the initial excitement and expectation, the navy on the ship gradually became nervous.

The warship dived more than 200 meters and came to the middle layer of the ocean. The light that could reach here through the sea water was barely detectable.

The dark environment made the soldiers nervous.

The deep-sea lights on the warship have been turned on. In such sea water, the visibility of the people on the ship is only a few meters.

Zefa ordered to slow down the speed, and the tense atmosphere lingered around the entire ship.

Not to mention ordinary navy, even a strong man like Zefa dare not take it lightly in the sea, and his observation Haki has been spread out.

In such an environment, there are too few things that can be seen with the naked eye. Compared with the five or six meters of naked eye visibility, Zefa obviously believes more in his powerful observation Haki.

Ace and Sabo could both sense the depressing atmosphere on the ship, and the two who had always been quite active became silent.

Luffy, on the other hand, was not very good at sensing the "atmosphere". Although the ship had already dived into the middle sea, he was still having fun on the deck, wandering around happily, curiously observing the surrounding environment, as if he could see something interesting in the darkness.

"Hey, Ace, where's your fishing rod?"

"If you fish in the sea, you will never catch kelp again!"

After running around for a few laps, Luffy returned to Ace's side and spoke suddenly. Hearing Luffy's idea of ​​jumping out of control, even a kid like Ace who likes novelty couldn't help but twitch his eyes slightly, shook his head and refused:

"Don't make trouble, stay quietly, don't think about those things."

"There are no jokes in the sea. If you are not careful, the whole ship will die in the sea!"

When Ace was a child, he was actually the same as Luffy, a fearless and jumpy person. But now Ace is different. He is already a "little" adult and has reached the age of understanding.

The deeper he knows about this world, the more mature Ace will be. He will show the same wisdom and caution as his father at some times.

Just like now, Ace knows that fooling around may lead to unpredictable consequences. He will not gamble the lives of all the people on the ship for his momentary impulse.

"Luffy, if you feel bored, let's go to the cabin to play cards?"

Sabo doesn't like this dark atmosphere in the deep sea. Seeing that Luffy is ready to make trouble, he also changed the subject in time.

"No, this is my first time to play in the sea. I want to see what interesting creatures there are."

As he spoke, a deep-sea "electric eel" more than ten meters long slowly swam past the warship. In the dark deep sea, the fish that swam past the electric eel suddenly turned their bellies upside down.

"Oh, oh!"

"Look, what is that!"

"Eel? So big! It must be delicious!"

Luffy, who was talking to Sabo, was immediately attracted by the scene in the sea and burst into laughter. Ace and Sabo turned their heads to look, and by chance, the tail of the "electric eel" in the sea gently brought up a current, causing the warship to shake violently.

At this moment, Zefa at the bow suddenly shouted towards the direction of the cabin:

"Turn off the lights!"

"Turn off the lights quickly!"

Zefar's voice was very loud and penetrating, and there was a communication telephone bug between the deck and the cabin. Zefa's order was also transmitted to the cabin at the first time. Although the sailors on the ship did not understand why, they still obeyed Zefa's order and turned off the lights.

As the lights of the ship were turned off, the surroundings became dark.

Only at the stern, the "electric eel" that had just swam past was emitting a dark blue light, rendering the atmosphere of the deep sea dark and terrifying.

"Keep the course, continue to dive, I will guide you!"

Without the lights, the sailors had no way to observe the surrounding environment. Panic was brewing in the navy. These recruits from the naval academy experienced such a thing for the first time. Even after countless training, they were deeply uneasy at this moment.

However, Zefa's words quickly calmed the hearts of these young sailors.

Observation Haki is much more useful than lights.

"Bang——"

Not long after Zefa gave the order, the direction of the surrounding sea current suddenly changed.

At the place where the warship had just left, a giant sea beast of nearly 100 meters suddenly rushed out from the dark deep sea, directly biting the "electric eel" emitting a faint blue glow in its mouth, and then turned around and quickly disappeared into the deep sea.

Blood spread in the sea.

The navy on the warship only felt the fluctuation of the sea current, and had no idea what was happening behind. Zefa stood at the bow, holding the railing with both hands, and was unusually calm:

"Hold the railing, if you are thrown out, no one can save you."

"Ace, Sabo, Luffy, the three of you go back to the cabin."

"If you are curious about the deep sea, just look at the scenery outside through the window in my room! Although there may not be any scenery to see!"

Zeff's words disappointed Luffy. He didn't want to go back to the cabin, it was still interesting here. But. Luffy remembered the promise he made to Zefa before.

The premise for Zefa to take him out to sea is that he has to be obedient.

Although his king Luffy loves to play and make trouble, he is a man of his word!

"Okay--" Luffy replied with a long tone of dissatisfaction. Just as he was about to return to the cabin, he suddenly heard an inexplicable whisper in his ear:

"￥ # %￥"

Luffy paused, looked at Ace and Sabo behind him suspiciously, and tilted his head:

"What? Who is talking?"

Luffy suddenly stopped and said this nonsense, which made Ace and Sabo stunned, and then both of them showed understanding on their faces:

"Luffy, you are playing tricks, right? No one of us is talking."

"I know you don't want to go back to the cabin, but this is what we promised Zefa teacher before, isn't it?"

Ace thought that Luffy was unwilling to go back to the cabin and was being petty, and showed a smile of "I have seen through it".

Sabo also walked to Luffy's side and gently put his arm around his shoulder: "Let's go, Luffy, let's play cards."

Luffy saw that his two brothers seemed to be like this, and thought he was hallucinating. He scratched his hair and let Sabo lead him to the cabin.

But the inexplicable whisper in his ear rang again.

This time, Luffy could confirm that someone was really talking, not Ace or Sabo, but someone was really talking!

And this time, Ace suddenly stopped and looked up at the deep sea above.

"Someone is really talking!" Ace's face condensed and looked around. On the deck, the sergeants were busy with their own things, some were on guard, and some were recording the navigation log. It was very quiet.

In the bow direction, Zefa also looked forward with concentration, carefully exploring the situation in the sea.

It was obvious that the person who was talking was not any of them.

"Is it the voice of all things?!"

In just a moment, Ace thought of such a possibility. He is the son of Pirate King Roger, and Lu Jiu has never concealed his life experience.

Although Ace has no memory or good feelings for the father who has never met and gave him the blood of a criminal, how could a child of his age not have any curiosity about his father?

What's more, his father is Pirate King Roger!

Ace has a comprehensive understanding of Roger, including Roger's various abilities.

These things are also considered secrets in the navy. Ace got all kinds of deeds about Roger from Zefa's mouth "indirectly".

Ace thought he was hiding well, and he used "curiosity" as an excuse when asking Zefa questions about Roger. But Ace probably couldn't have thought that Zefa had already seen through Ace's identity.

Zefa was also very tolerant of Ace's desire to understand Roger, and could understand Ace's motives.

Listening to the voice of all things, legend has it that Pirate King Roger relied on this ability to find one piece.

Ace was a smart man with a delicate mind, and he quickly guessed what the sound he heard was.

With his eyes slightly lowered, Ace glanced at Luffy, gently put his arm around Luffy's shoulders, and said calmly: "Let's go, Luffy, let's go to the cabin first."

Luffy actually wanted to explore what the sound he just heard was, but before he could speak, he was pushed into the cabin by Ace.

"Ace, I really heard the sound."

"Someone is talking!"

Luffy seemed to have some emotions because Ace and Sabo didn't trust him, so he yelled.

"Ok, I know!"

This time, Ace changed his tone and nodded. His words also made Sabo a little confused and his eyes glanced over.

"I heard it too!"

Ace had nothing to hide from Sabo and spoke straightforwardly.

Seeing Ace's serious look, Sabo also looked startled.

The three little ones who returned to the cabin began to whisper, and as the ship went deeper and deeper into the sea, the whisper that echoed in the ears of Luffy and Ace became stronger and stronger.

On the deck, Zefa was unaware of all this.

I don't know how long the ship has been sailing in this deep sea. The darkness in front of the ship's bow gradually appeared with a subtle light, and the permanent record correction in Zefa's hand was no longer pointing downwards.

"Stop diving and move horizontally toward one o'clock."

Zefa's order was passed into the wheelhouse, and the deck became level. With the appearance of light, the tense hearts of the navy on board also relaxed a little.

After sailing for a long time, the light became brighter and brighter, and the scene in the sea gradually became clearer.

Below the ship is an endless black continent. The seagrass on the ground is lush and green, and schools of fish shuttle freely through it.

It’s hard to imagine that this is a world thousands of meters under the sea.

The ecological environment here is no different from that of the shallow sea. These should also benefit from the unknown light source.

The atmosphere on the ship became cheerful. A little further away, a huge island shrouded in bubbles also appeared in the sight of the navy.

"Gululu——"

Before the sailors on the ship could cheer for their arrival at their destination, dozens of black shadows suddenly appeared from behind the rocks on the seabed and among the dense seaweed.

The warship was forced to stop.

Zefa looked around and found that there were more than a dozen murlocs in military uniforms surrounding his warship in the sea. Zefa saw a familiar golden emblem on the murlocs' military uniforms.

"It's the murloc navy of the new navy!"

Someone on the ship recognized the identities of the fishmen blocking the ship, and immediately let out a low cry. At the same time, the door to the cabin was opened, and Ace, Sabo, and Luffy came to the deck.

"Boo~"

The bubble surrounding the warship suddenly made a soft sound.

A kind of navy looked up, only to find a fishman navy directly passing through the bubble and falling to the deck.

"Boom!!!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a muffled sound, and a blue-skinned fishman wearing wooden clogs and wearing a military uniform fell directly from the "sky" and landed firmly on the deck.

Zefa turned around, looked at the fishmen navy boarding the warship, and gently stroked his chin:

"Are you Rear Admiral Jinbei of the new navy?!"

"Hehehe, stop us, what's the matter?"

Zefa recognized the person and didn't even mention the person's identity as a "wanted criminal". He addressed him as "major general", as if he regarded Jinbei as his own.

"It's actually you!"

Jinbei, who landed on the deck, did not expect to see Zefa on this warship that was obviously heading for Fish-Man Island.

Former Navy Admiral, this title is really too loud.

Of course, it was Zefa’s other identity—Jikuni Enichi’s teacher—who made Jinbei address him with “you”.

"Did you come to Fish-Man Island on any business? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

The relationship between the Navy Headquarters and the New Navy is delicate. Jinbei knows the depth of the water here and will not rashly conflict with Zefa. When he sees the other party calling him "major general", Jinbei also has a good attitude.

"It's really business!"

"Although your new navy is stationed on Fish-Man Island, Fish-Man Island is ultimately a member of the World Government."

"As long as it is a member country, its citizens should be protected by our naval headquarters."

"This time I came to Fishman Island to investigate a case!"

With that said, Zefa waved to the crew members. Everyone understood and quickly loaded a big bag and placed it in front of Jinbei. Before he opened it, Jinbei could already smell a strong fishy smell.

that smell

Jinbei's breath stopped, and he looked at the bag intently. Zefa walked up to Jinbei, only opened a corner of the bag, and then quickly closed it without showing the whole picture.

"Major General Jinbei, we want to go to the island, and this body is related to it."

"I hope you will let me go."

Zefa stood in front of Jinbei and said in a solemn tone.

Looking at Zefa's appearance, Jinbei also lowered his eyebrows.

Refuse?

There seems to be no reason. Fishman Island is a member of the World Government, and this has never changed.

Do you want to break up? Jinbei is a local citizen of Fish-Man Island. He knows that if he attacks Zefa here, there is a high probability that Fish-Man Island will be implicated, and the consequences of being deprived of his membership as a member country will be beyond his imagination.

Moreover, the subtle connection between the New Navy and the Navy Headquarters also made Jinbei worried.

"You enter the harbor first. As for whether you can go to the island, I have to ask for permission."

"I also hope that Mr. Zefa will not wander around for a while after entering Hong Kong, and will not cause unnecessary conflicts."

Jinbei acted cautiously, and Zefa nodded in approval, and even jokingly said:

"If your superiors don't approve, give me the phone and I'll tell you!"

Zefar said this with a faint smile on his face.

Hearing this, Jinbei's eyes flashed: "You're joking, the reason is legitimate, we won't stop it."

"The new navy is not those pirates who sit and act like kings."

"And Fishman Island has always been open to the outside world and a free country that maintains exchanges with the outside world!"
