Chapter 84 The initial dream
Target island, several nautical miles away.
A warship floats on the rough sea.
"Reporting to the Warring States General, Bundy Waldo has landed on the target island and is heading towards the agreed upon location."
An orderly soldier standing on the observation deck put down his observation glass, turned around and saluted Sengoku with his arms folded on the deck and said in a deep voice.
"Well, can you see how many people he brought with him?"
Warring States also used the lookout glass to observe the activities on the distant islands, his eyebrows were furrowed tightly, as if someone had filled them in with a black pen.
The warship was quite far away from the target island. Even with the navy headquarters' most accurate lookout, he could only vaguely see a line of black dots moving slowly in the wind and snow.
After all, Bundy Waldo is one of the top strong men in this sea. In order to be on the safe side and avoid being noticed by his domineering power, the Warring States side must keep the warships at a certain safe distance. .
——Although this guy's threat to the Navy and the World Government comes more from his Devil Fruit ability than from his own combat power.
"The specific number of people cannot be determined, but what is certain is that he arranged for most of the pirates to be stationed on the four pirate ships that docked."
"Four ships?"
Warring States was startled when he heard this, and his eyes were half-squinted under his black-framed glasses.
"According to the intelligence, after this period of recruitment, hasn't the scale of the Ward Pirates expanded to the level of five pirate ships?"
The messenger replied:
"Yes, General Sengoku, but for some unknown reason, one of the pirate ships did not dock, and we have lost sight of it."
"You're really cautious..." Porusalino, who was picking his nails at the side, said without raising his head.
Warring States ignored this bastard, frowned even more tightly, and murmured solemnly:
"Is it Binjack's work?"
Binjack is the vice-captain of the Ward Pirates and the brother of Bundy Waldo. Although he is sick and weak and has no fighting ability, he possesses wisdom and caution that ordinary pirates do not have.
As the core figure and staff member of the Ward Pirates, he is the brains of the pirate group. He complements Bundy Waldo's powerful strength and poses a serious threat.
In many past crusade operations, it was Binjack's resourcefulness that allowed Bundy Waldo to successfully escape, causing the navy to fall short.
"General Warring States, we have determined that the target has landed on the island. When will we take action?"
A soldier walked over quickly and asked in a low voice.
Sengoku glanced at Porusalino, who was sitting there leisurely, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice:
"Just wait a little longer..."
He took out a military phone bug from his arms, and his eyes fell on the sleeping phone bug.
"...waiting for Colonel Darren's signal."
…
On a desert island.
The wind and snow drifted down from the gloomy sky, and Bundy Waldo led hundreds of pirates to trek through the icy snow, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
His breath condensed into hoarfrost in the cold air, and Binjack, who was sitting on Bundy Waldo's shoulders, subconsciously tightened his sheepskin coat.
It was dead silent all the way, and there seemed to be endless land and snow-capped mountains in front of us.
"Waldo...I have some bad premonitions."
Binjack looked at the silent snow-capped mountains and wilderness and couldn't help but shuddered.
"Hahahaha, brother, you are thinking too much. As soon as we get the arms, we will leave this island immediately... The world is so big by then, is there any place we can't go to?"
Bundy Waldo comforted Binjack with a smile, his eyes filled with burning ambition as intense as a blazing flame.
"No, that's not what I said."
Binjack shook his head and said, his gloomy sick face seemed to become paler due to the cold weather.
"We have taken too big a step. Ever since we set sail, we have been in the midst of killing and fighting."
"The bounty has skyrocketed for unknown reasons, and that Sengoku guy is clinging to us... More and more people are joining our Ward Pirates, and the number of our subordinates has far exceeded the control of our cadres. .”
"and……"
He paused and looked at Bundy Waldo with unspeakable complexity in his eyes.
"You've changed, Waldo."
"You are becoming more and more bold and unscrupulous. Human lives are like ants in your eyes. You are frantically destroying everything that stands in your way... If you continue like this, sooner or later we will face unpredictable consequences."
Bundy Waldo suddenly stopped.
The members of the pirate group behind him also subconsciously stopped and looked at their captain with some confusion.
Withered snow fell from the sky, falling like stars on Bundy Waldo's helmet, shoulders, and body. The smile on his face had disappeared.
"Brother, what exactly do you want to say?"
Bundy Waldo's voice deepened.
"Have you forgotten our dream?... Isn't this your original dream to travel around the world?"
"No, Waldo, I didn't forget."
Binjack shook his head, his dark eyes filled with confusion.
"Even now, I still want to travel around the world, see different styles and scenery with my own eyes on the vast and endless sea, and find the freedom of life!"
"You are the one who really forgot about this dream."
“When was the last time we were on an island we’d never been to, laughing with ease and ease?”
"You don't remember either, do you?"
"What you enjoy now is not travel or adventure. What you enjoy... is killing and destruction."
"As your strength becomes stronger and stronger, especially after you obtain that Devil Fruit, you change. You seem to be a completely different person..."
"Your desire for destruction and destruction is getting stronger and stronger, and your ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. You want to destroy everything that stands in your way... The official ships of the World Government, the fleets of the navy, and even innocent civilians and towns are all affected by your anger. Devour.”
"——They forced me to do this!!"
Bundy Waldo suddenly shouted angrily, interrupting his brother's words.
Veins bulged on his forehead, his expression was ferocious, and his fists were tightly clenched.
"If I don't do this, how can I support our dream!?"
"Traveling around the world is not a slogan. We need money, and we need strong power. Only by constantly destroying, plundering, and destroying... can I make those who want to kill us fear and fear!!"
"I have such a powerful power as the Momo Fruit...Why can't I be the overlord of this sea!?"
"Just stand behind me and watch, brother..."
"I will definitely destroy all those who try to hinder us...whether it is the navy or the world government, they will all crawl at the feet of my Bundy Waldo!"
After saying that, the corner of his mouth raised again with an unbridled grin, and he strode away into the distance.
Binjack sat on his shoulder, staring blankly at his side face, sighing in his heart.
