Chapter 507: An involuntary life, the vanguard! (Two in one)

The migration of Dr. Vegapunk and other researchers from Egg Point Island was quite cumbersome.

Due to the large number of personnel and equipment that needed to be migrated, the speed of the entire sea beast fleet became very slow.

This would also cause many other problems. The sailing time was forced to be extended, and the fleet's supply work could not continue to adopt the original plan. The food and fresh water consumed by so many people were very large. Although the supply compartments of all ships were full before departure, that little bit of stuff alone could not support the fleet's consumption for such a long time.

The route planning needs to be changed, which is a foregone conclusion.

At the same time, the slow sailing speed of the fleet also led to another problem. In recent days, the headquarters of the new navy has basically been able to confirm that Borsalino led the navy fleet to leave Marinford and headed towards the New World.

Combined with all the information they currently know, Tsugukuni Yoshiichi can almost be 100% sure that Borsalino and his men are coming for them.

As he expected, the navy and the world government did not want to let Vegapunk fall into the control of the new navy.

It is foreseeable that the encounter between the two sides will be another fierce battle.

Although Tsukuni Yoshiichi's strength is above Borsalino, the vice admirals in the team will not pose a threat to Tsukuni Yoshiichi, but this does not mean that the crisis can be easily resolved.

Borsalino is a natural-type glittering fruit. If the opponent's primary goal is to destroy their fleet, even with Tsukuni Yoshiichi's protection, it may not be possible to protect everyone.

Tsukuni Yoshiichi's own life safety is naturally not to be worried about, but Vegapunk and a group of researchers who are traveling with him may not be able to survive the interception of the Navy Headquarters intact.

However, Tsukuni Yoshiichi did not spread this information. He did not want to cause panic, which would be very unfavorable for their march.

However, the navy on the Dawn warship was informed of such news by Tsukuni Yoshiichi, so all the people were on high alert along the way, and did not dare to relax at all.

Even the night patrol post arrangement has changed from two people to four people, and the fixed communication every 20 minutes has been shortened to 10 minutes. Any movement of the fleet will immediately alert the new navy.

Of course, such news will not be hidden from Vegapunk by Tsugukuni Yuichi. He is the most important person involved and must know what kind of risks their new navy is taking now.

Yuichi did not mean to repay the favor. His starting point was to hope that Vegapunk could selectively throw away some heavy instruments to speed up the march.

Vegapunk can understand this. After careful research and negotiation, he really threw some of the easiest instruments to replicate and the easiest to obtain materials into the sea, hoping to speed up the march of the fleet by reducing the burden.

But how can the instruments and equipment that can be taken out of Danjian Island be useless? There are very few things that can be discarded. Although the fleet speed has increased, the overall improvement is not very large.

Vegapunk had a very good mentality. From the day he contacted Yuichi Tsugokuni and hoped that Yuichi would take him away from Egg Point Island, he had already prepared for death.

After helping Yuichi complete the fleet's load reduction, Vegapunk focused on his research as usual.

For him, every minute and every second of life needs to be grasped tightly in his hands.

Boring sailing life? !

For Vegapunk, every day is a fulfilling scientific research life.

The important instruments needed by Vegapunk to study biochemical humans are placed on the Dawn warship. After his temporary transformation, the cabin has become a laboratory. Although he is a scientific research madman, Vegapunk is not a fool. He knows that staying with Yuichi Tsugokuni is the safest.

Therefore, he did not leave the warship all the way to Fishman Island.

After nearly half a month of sailing, the fleet arrived at a place called "Changyun Island".

Changyun Island is one of the many islands under the control of the New Navy. Before they came, it was "covered" by the Whitebeard Pirates.

The appearance of the entire island is just like its name, like a long cloud, and it has a spring island climate that is relatively rare in the New World.

The climate on the island is like spring all year round. Although the permanent population is less than 100,000, it is an island mainly based on agriculture.

This used to be an important supply island for the Whitebeard Pirates, and now it has become the lifeline of the new navy's supply source. The food exported from here accounts for 15% of the total supply of the new navy.

This island is not on the straight line between Danjian Island and Fishman Island, and the course is actually a bit off.

However, the fleet led by Jiguo Yuanyi had to come here for a turn to replenish the various supplies needed by the fleet. After leaving this island, it will take a long time for them to reach the next supply point.

A group of ships of various shapes slowly sailed into the port of Changyun Island, making the port on the island, which was not very large, instantly filled up.

On the coast, the busy islanders looked toward the sea. Their nervousness relaxed when they saw the Dawn warship in the lead.

The flag hanging on the Dawn warship was too familiar to the islanders.

Seeing that it was the fleet of the new navy, the busy people on the shore only looked at it for a few more times and then continued to do their own things, not caring at all.

"Robin, go to the island to purchase supplies. The fleet will stay on this island for one day and leave after replenishing supplies."

The fleet will enter the port at 1 pm, and there is still plenty of time. If the purchase goes smoothly, it will be completed in one afternoon.

This island has foreign food trade. Although it is not the harvest season yet, it is not a problem to collect bulk goods. More than a dozen ships and hundreds or thousands of people should be able to purchase food.

If you simply calculate it based on rice, a person can eat at most 10 kilograms of rice in half a month. Researchers have a small appetite and may not be able to finish it. The people of the new navy have a large appetite, so this amount is not enough.

Among all the supplies that need to be replenished, vegetables, fruits, and fresh water are actually the most important.

"Yes!"

Robin is a good hand at managing logistics. After receiving Yuichi's order, he led people to disembark in a hurry. Vegapunk, who had been staying in the laboratory, seemed to have noticed that the fleet had stopped. He also walked out of the cabin, looked around the surrounding environment, and came to the side of Yunyi, looked at the coast, and asked Yunyi:

"Yuyi, where is this place?"

"What are we going to do here?"

Although Vegapunk had long disregarded life and death, it did not mean that he did not cherish his life. Seeing this unfamiliar scene, Vegapunk could not help but ask curiously.

"This is Changyun Island, one of the territories controlled by our new navy."

"We stay here to replenish supplies. Our route will be a little different next. We will not stop at other islands. We will go all out to sail directly to Fishman Island."

"Slightly changing the route is also to prevent being blocked by the Centaur Linfordo fleet."

Faced with Vegapunk's inquiry, Jigoku Yunyi nodded without any intention of concealing anything. After standing on the deck and staring at the island not far away for a long time, Vegapunk walked into the cabin without saying a word.

In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with Yunyi's decision. It would be best if he could avoid the interception of the navy.

But is it really that easy?

The new navy had determined early on that their enemy was the World Government, and the new navy had made a lot of surveillance arrangements for the Sabaody Archipelago below the Holy Land.

On the other hand, would the World Government regard the new navy that had invaded the Holy Land as a partner? Of course it was impossible. They also tried their best to infiltrate the islands controlled by the new navy. It was not easy to take root in the Ten Thousand Nations, but it was really easy for them to arrange intelligence personnel for the other islands.

Not long after the sea beast fleet entered the port, on a floating raft near the sea, a square-faced man who looked like a fisherman in his thirties stood up silently from the small stool in front of the door and turned back to the dim cabin behind him.

"Yes, it is definitely the Dawn warship, and there are more than a dozen large ships of different shapes accompanying it."

"It looks like a sea beast from a distance."

"I didn't see Tsugukuni Yoshiichi, but I saw the Dawn warship!"

In the wooden house, the whispers of the fishermen were faintly heard. After a long time, the dark-skinned fisherman walked out of the wooden house, and sat back on the small stool in front of the door seemingly casually. He looked at the Dawn warship in the distance, and his eyebrows revealed a deep worry.

"Ding Ding Ding——"

"Brother Anton, Brother Anton!"

"A new navy has landed on the island, and someone is purchasing supplies at the market. Didn't you just get some fresh fish? Go and sell it quickly. The navy doesn't want pickled fish, and the price they give is very fair!"

Just as Anton was looking at the warship in the distance with a worried face, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded on the raft.

A girl in simple clothes ran up to his raft barefoot, slapped Anton on his broad shoulders, and said in a hurry.

Anton had been on the island as a refugee for only a year, and he quickly got acquainted with the nearby fishermen with his down-to-earth and enthusiastic personality. The one who came to see him at this time was the daughter of the black uncle on the raft next door, named Sani, who was 20 years old this year and could be considered an old girl in this world.

Although Sani was the daughter of a fisherman, the black uncle next door was extremely fond of his only daughter and never let her do any heavy work. Although her skin was tanned to a light brown, her appearance was also beautiful, and her hands were delicate, making her a village flower-level girl.

Anton was "gentle" in nature. Although he was a refugee to the outside world, his conversation and knowledge were far beyond the reach of the local farmers and fishermen. As he spent more time with the neighbors around him, the young Sani also had a good impression of Anton, the honest neighbor.

Anton could sense Sunny's feelings for him, but he understood his identity. People like him would leave here one day, and even he himself didn't know when and how he would leave here.

Therefore, he always kept a certain distance from Sunny's enthusiasm.

Although he was a CP, he was actually no different from most workers. He was even more miserable. Going undercover in the territory of the new navy was a life-and-death struggle for the CPs. The reason why Anton came to such a place was not unrelated to his solid character.

"Sunny."

When Anton saw Sani's figure, the worry on his face suddenly disappeared without a trace, and a light smile appeared on his face. But this smile didn't stay long, and then turned into a faint bitter smile.

After calling the girl's name, Anton gently moved his wrist and broke away from Sani's hand.

"Brother Anton? What are you doing standing still? Why don't you hurry up?"

"The quantity purchased by the new navy must be limited, so sell on first come first served basis!"

"Usually, you don't have that much money to sell fresh fish to the market. My father has passed away, why don't you hurry up?"

Sani was a sincere person. Seeing that Anton didn't move, Sani reached out to grab the other person's wrist again. However, when he came closer, his small hand was tightly wrapped by Anton's big hands.

"Sani, I have marinated those fish, so I can't sell them."

"Are you busy? Can you sit down and talk to me?"

There was a bit of hope and regret in Anton's eyes, but he hid his emotions pretty well and looked a little calm on the surface.

"Um?"

"What are you talking about?"

Sani secretly glanced at his hand held by Anton, a blush appeared on his light brown face, and he said shyly.

"Nothing, I just want to stay with you for a while."

As he answered Sani, who admired him, Anton's heart was full of bitterness:

[I won’t have such an opportunity in the future. Haha, I probably won’t have a chance in the future either. 】

From the day they become CP, their destiny is no longer in their own hands. Before today, Anton had endless imagination about his future.

He also has a good impression of Sani, an enthusiastic girl, and wants to find a chance to end his work. If possible, he wants to spend the next few days with the girl next to him.

However, the cruel reality finally pulled him out of that dream.

[Find a way to destroy the new navy ship, or poison the crew. 】

[Use any means to delay the sailing date of the new navy. 】

This was the new order given to Anton by his superiors after he reported the movements of the Dawn warship.

From the moment he received this order, Anton knew that he and Sani had no future.

"Brother Anton, what's wrong with you?"

"You're a little strange today. What happened?"

Sani familiarly moved a small bench from the room and sat next to Anton. Anton did not speak, looked at the sea, and just stayed quietly with Sani.

Women's intuition is sometimes a bit sensitive. For some reason, Sani felt something in her heart. She stretched out her hand and gently grabbed Anton's wrist, and asked softly.

"No, what can I do?"

"Just thank you very much, thank you for taking care of me, and thank you Uncle Hei, thank you Uncle Hei for taking care of me."

"Sani, thank you very much"

Anton moved his eyes away from the warship in the distance and turned to look at the sea. At the same time, he reached out and gently pressed the back of Sani's hand, and whispered in a deep voice.

He wanted to imprint the beautiful scenery of the sea firmly in his mind, and he wanted to remember the time he spent with Sani in his heart.

The sun was setting in the west, and the bloody setting sun dyed the sea surface red.

Sani had already left. She was going back to prepare dinner for her father. Before leaving, she also invited Anton to have dinner with her, but he refused.

Standing up, Anton stretched and walked back to the wooden house behind him with heavy steps.

Putting on the black suit that was pressed against the bottom of the box again, Anton looked at himself in the mirror, his expression becoming resolute and decisive.

Poison? The quartermaster of the new navy may not be that stupid.

There is only one way left for him from beginning to end, isn't it?

The bright moon rises over the sea.

Under the moonlight, a black shadow jumped off the raft, jumped into the sea, and dived quickly towards the sea beast ship in the distance.

In the cabin of the Dawn warship, Tsukikuni Enichi was sitting in front of the desk, carefully examining the chart on the table and planning the route to Fish-Man Island.

"Um?!"

Suddenly, he seemed to notice something, slowly raised his head, and murmured in his mouth.
