Chapter 508: The ant that shakes the tree! (Two in one)

The bright moonlight was sprinkled on the sea, and the sea breeze was blowing gently, causing ripples on the sea.

The night had just fallen, but the coastal towns had already become dark, with only a few houses and faint lights penetrating the windows.

Technology was not well developed on Changyun Island, and most of the residents on Changyun Island lived from sunrise to sunset. Electricity was not even widely used on the entire island, and the tools for night lighting were kerosene lamps and homemade fires stained with resin or sea fish oil.

Very primitive.

As night fell, the harbor of Changyun Island was no longer as lively as it was during the day.

The residents on the island did not have any nighttime leisure and entertainment activities, and they rested very early, and the new navy was actually the same.

At this moment, the navy had just taken turns to eat dinner, and the navy without duty returned to their cabins early to rest.

During these days of sailing on the sea, it was difficult for these navy officers to sleep soundly. After all, the route environment of the New World is complex, the climate is strange and changeable, and these young people who have just started their careers have been very alert all the way.

It is rare to be able to rest at the port of Chundao. For the new navy who have always been nervous, it is really precious.

Changyun Island is the territory of the new navy. There is even a small liaison station on the island. There are only dozens of navy officers stationed there. The most they do in normal times is to guard the ships coming and going and report various information to the headquarters. It can't play any defensive role. At best, it is a guard post.

However, when they settle in a place like Changyun Island, the vigilance of the new navy officers will inevitably be reduced a lot.

They don't have many people. There are not many sea beast ships, and the number of soldiers on duty on each ship is not large. This will inevitably lead to some blind spots.

"Gululu——"

A small string of bubbles suddenly rose in the sea. Anton slowly poked his head out of the sea, stretched out his hand to wipe the sea water off his face, and gently placed one hand on the sea beast skin of the hull of the sea beast ship beside him.

The sea beast ship from Danjian Island is somewhat different from ordinary warships. The outer skin of the hull is not a conventional wooden hull or an iron hull, but is made of the skin of unknown sea beasts.

After being immersed in the sea for many years and eroded by sea water, the surface of these animal skins has become extremely smooth.

Anton is not a leader among CPs. Although everyone who can become a CP has undergone hard training and can become a CP after passing the qualification, in fact, even if his ability is stronger than that of ordinary people, it is limited.

Such slippery sea beast skin is also a big trouble for him.

He has not mastered any of the six styles of the navy.

If he could master such "high-level" skills, the task of undercover would not necessarily fall into his hands.

"It is simply impossible to destroy such a ship."

"There is only one way to delay the departure date of these people."

Anton slowly raised his head and looked at the deck nearly 20 meters above the sea, secretly swearing in his heart. Reaching into his arms, he took out two claw knives from them. Anton directly inserted the reverse edge of the knife into the sea beast skin and tried to climb up.

The ship he intended to sneak into happened to be docked at the edge of the harbor, and the navy on duty on other ships could not notice it.

Anton's movements were very slow, climbing up slowly, trying not to make too much noise.

The moonlight was bright, and from a distance, Anton, who was wearing a black suit, almost merged with the gray-black sea beast skin, and was difficult to detect at all.

In just a few minutes, Anton's hands slowly grabbed the railing, and he looked out of his head to look at the empty roads on both sides. Anton's face did not show any joy. He exerted force with both hands and jumped directly onto the deck.

"Da——"

A barely audible sound was heard on the deck, and seawater seeped out from the soles of his shoes. After Anton's figure disappeared, a pool of water was left on the spot.

In the cabin of the Dawn warship, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, who had been buried in his desk, had already walked to the window and looked outside.

"Is it really coming for us?"

"A rat jumped up?"

In fact, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi had noticed it when Anton swam towards the fleet. Even the faintest breath could not be hidden from Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's observation Haki.

Yoshiichi would never misperceive the breath of humans.

He originally thought that he was too suspicious. After all, the new navy was well-known, and the Dawn warship was also a very iconic existence in this area. No one would mess with them without eyes.

But when the breath approached the easternmost sea beast ship, Yoshiichi was completely sure that the other party was coming for them.

After a brief thought, Jiguo Yuichi also picked up the Den Den Mushi on the desk:

"Someone has sneaked into the easternmost ship."

"Go find the person, I'll leave this matter to you."

The intruder's aura was not strong, and Jiguo Yuichi did not intend to go out in person. After making a phone call to his subordinates, he sat back in his chair and continued his work.

And just after Jiguo Yuichi made this call, the new navy on the sea beast ship in the east became busy.

"Mr. Jiguo said someone sneaked in? How is this possible? I didn't find anything!?"

On the observation deck, the new navy who was on duty at night was shocked when he heard his lieutenant captain tell him about this.

"Didn't find it?!"

"Mr. Wu Jiguo's words are correct."

"The other party is only one person, maybe he avoided your sight in some way."

"Don't let your guard down, always pay attention to the situation at sea, and notify me as soon as there is any abnormality!"

After a few words came out of the communication phone bug, it was closed. The navy in the observation room frowned and silently locked the door of the observation room. At the same time, he took out a dagger from his arms and put it at hand in case of emergency.

There was only a team of 18 navy officers on duty on the ship that Anton sneaked into, led by a young lieutenant, Fres, who had just graduated from the International Naval School.

Fres was not very old, only in his early twenties, but he was very capable and was always at the middle level when he was in the naval school.

Under his arrangement, all the navy on the ship became busy. After more than ten minutes of searching, they finally found an abnormality somewhere on the side of the ship.

"Someone really sneaked in!"

Fres led a group of subordinates and found a pool of water on the right deck near the bow after searching for several times. It seemed that it was just left.

When Fres saw this scene, his face turned cold and he immediately looked around to find out whether there were any water stains in other places.

This water stain can provide a direction for his search. Fres did not choose to alert the enemy and let people raise the alarm. When he found that these water stains led to the direction of the cabin, his face became extremely ugly.

"Let's go!"

Without any nonsense, Fres waved his hand and led people directly to the cabin.

Anton, who sneaked in, did not choose to assassinate the navy and researchers on the ship, but hid his tracks and sneaked into the power room of the ship.

His idea was very simple. If he simply assassinated the researchers and navy, there might be a possibility of success, allowing him to take a few lives smoothly.

But what's the point? From the moment he boarded the ship, he knew that it was only a matter of time before he was discovered by the new navy. Once he came up, he had no intention of leaving.

The assassination might create some chaos, but such chaos would also be quelled when he was captured and killed by the new navy, and there was no way to delay the fleet's departure.

The only way was to destroy the power of a ship in the fleet, and only in this way could he achieve his goal.

Fres was inexperienced after all. He gathered his men as soon as he heard someone sneaking in, which also gave Anton a loophole. His sneaking in was very smooth.

Anton placed bombs in several core places in the power room. After setting the detonation time, Anton did not mean to leave. Instead, he sat down with his back against the wall, slowly took out a cigarette wrapped in oil paper from the inner pocket of his suit, and lit one for himself.

"Haha, it's so smooth!"

"The new navy, is it just like this."

Anton took a puff of the cigarette lightly, looked up at the dim ceiling with his head, and sighed. His tone was not happy, but there was a little regret and sadness.

Deep in his heart, he might be eager to be discovered and arrested by the new navy in advance.

If that were the case, he might be imprisoned by the new navy, or he might be killed by the new navy. Who knows?

But there is a glimmer of hope, isn't it?

Anton smoked quietly, and his mind couldn't help but think of the girl who had always admired him. His frown gradually relaxed at this moment.

Above his head, the bomb timer was also passing by.

At this moment, dense footsteps sounded outside the power room.

Anton came to his senses, slowly put out the half-smoked cigarette, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Fres followed the traces of water stains and chased all the way to the door of the power room. Just as he was about to open the door, a strong sense of crisis suddenly lingered in his heart.

"Get down!!!"

Fres had great trust in his sixth sense. The moment the sense of crisis emerged, he immediately shouted and directly hugged a nearby subordinate and flew to the side.

"Boom!!!!"

A violent explosion occurred in the power room. The heavy iron door was blown away by the strong blast wave, and the thick steel wall was also greatly deformed.

Although the navy at the door dodged quickly and was not hit by the blown iron door, the roaring sound also stimulated their brains and eardrums. At this moment, everyone's brain was confused and buried their heads on the ground with pain on their faces.

The sky-high flames shot out on the surface of the sea beast ship, and the dark night sky was lit up by the blazing flames.

The whole ship shook violently, and the sea was also surging because of the explosion.

Even Jiguo Yuichi in the cabin of the Dawn warship felt the explosion. The ship shook slightly, and the chair under Yuichi's buttocks made a slight sound.

"Failed."

Yuichi slowly raised his head, murmured a little disappointedly, and then got up and left the cabin.

This violent explosion woke up the residents who had been resting early on the coast. They put on their clothes and went out of their houses to check the situation. Seeing the sea monster ship burning in the distance, the faces of the people were full of surprise.

On a floating raft somewhere near the sea, Sani was also startled by the explosion.

For some reason, Sunny felt a pain in his chest and his breathing became rapid. After a long time, Sunny gradually recovered, walked out of the room slowly, and looked at the fire in the distance.

Although he didn't know what happened, Sunny couldn't control his emotions and tears flowed out of his eyes.

"What happened?"

Sunny didn't feel that he was crying at all. He gently covered his mouth with a look of astonishment.

The new navy acted very quickly. After the explosion, the sergeants gathered on the ship.

Although Fres and his men escaped, they were also injured by the impact of the explosion. The explosion is not only the temperature and shock wave that can kill people, but also the vibration caused by it is deadly enough.

Although there is a thick wall blocking, Fres and others are not completely unaffected. Fortunately, the new navy has strong physical fitness. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been shocked to death long ago.

The cause and effect of the incident and the loss suffered by the ship, Robin has already started to investigate with the researchers on the joint ship.

The preliminary judgment is that someone sneaked into the ship and placed explosives.

As for the murderer, the unknown meat extracted from some places in the power room can tell where the murderer is.

The ship also suffered considerable damage in the explosion. The facilities in the power room were completely destroyed by the explosion. According to the researchers, it would take two days to repair them.

However, this will not affect the fleet's subsequent sailing plan. Their sea beast warships have spare power equipment. This damage seems serious, but the impact is limited.

After getting a general understanding of the situation, Jiguo Yuanyi handed all these matters over to Robin.

The fleet's sailing plan did not change because of the explosion caused by Anton.

The attack he launched at the risk of his life was just an additive to the ordinary sailing life for the new navy. In addition to making Fres and others who were recuperating on the bed feel guilty and ashamed for a while, it had no other effect.

The fire was extinguished, and various robots began to repair the damage to the ship under the leadership of the researchers.

The next morning, the "hole" caused by the explosion had been repaired. Although the repair looked very obvious, it would not affect the ship's navigation.

The power has also been switched to backup power. As the Dawn warship slowly left the port, the sea beast ships also left Changyun Island.

Although the residents on the island were frightened by the explosion at night, they woke up the next day and everything was still normal, continuing their busy and fulfilling lives.

On a floating raft near the sea, Sani walked out of Anton's house with a freshly made fish cake in her hand.

Anton's home was just like usual, with the tables, chairs and benches wiped clean.

However, there was no Anton in this house.

Seeing that Anton was gone, Sani looked back every three steps and left reluctantly. At this time, she didn't know that her brother Anton would never come back.
