104: Chapter 103 The Navy's urgent request for assistance, the first mission of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!Grand Line, on the Golden Merry.
After the celebration, everyone gathered on the deck, gazing at the night sky and enjoying the sea breeze.Nami consulted the navigation needle and the nautical chart:
"If there are no other interferences, we expect to arrive at the Water City tomorrow afternoon."
Luffy stretched lazily after hearing this:
"Huh~ We're finally almost there!Water City, where we can fully upgrade our Merry and find many excellent shipbuilders!We need to invite someone to join us there!"
The friends also smiled.The Water City, a dreamy city, is also a good place for adventure.
After everyone finished washing up, they went back to their rooms and fell asleep.
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, everyone was awakened by a burst of rapid ringing of Den Den Mushi.It was Luffy's communication device Den Den Mushi!
Bulu Bulu~
Bulu Bulu~
Bulu Bulu~
Everyone couldn't stand the devilish ringing of the Den Den Mushi and wanted to turn it off directly.However, after discovering the identity of the contact, they frowned and answered the call.
"Moshimoshi, moshimoshi.This is Admiral Sengoku, can you hear me?"
A resounding voice echoed throughout the cabin, and everyone who had rushed over fell silent.
Admiral of the Navy, Buddha's Warring States!
He contacted one of the Shichibukai so early in the morning, so I'm afraid he wasn't sending us greetings.
"I can hear you, Marshal Sengoku.This is Monkey D.Luffy from the Straw Hat Adventures.What's up?"
A powerful voice came from the Warring States Period:
"The new King of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Monkey D.Luffy, are you currently heading towards the Water City?"
Luffy replied:
"Yes, we are about to arrive at the Water City.What happened that requires us to contact one of the Shichibukai so early in the morning?"
Zhan Guo said seriously:
"To cut a long story short, Mr.Luffy, the Navy has sent an urgent request for assistance to headquarters.Three vice admirals have already gone to support the surveillance mission, but it will take time to deploy more forces.
You're currently the closest to the Navy's surveillance mission!We need your support for this crucial mission!This is the Navy's request to the Shichibukai!
The Navy will deliver your reward when you arrive to participate in this mission!The relevant mission details will be explained at the Navy Headquarters after you arrive!"
Luffy raised his eyebrows:
"What kind of mission is this?Even three Vice Admirals aren't enough.Is it too dangerous?Can't you refuse?"
The voice of the Warring States came again:
"Of course you can refuse!But this is our first emergency commission for the new Shichibukai, so I hope you understand.
This mission is not difficult, but it's not too difficult for you.It was originally just a surveillance mission, but there was a suspected conflict with the target, and all three lieutenant generals were injured!
We have to send reinforcements again, but it will take time for the navy fleet to arrive!You are the closest to there, and perhaps you are the reinforcements that can cover the vice admiral's retreat!
If possible, this is just a surveillance mission, so try not to conflict with the target person.Of course, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are free to do as they please, and their mission is free.They just need to cover the three vice admirals, complete the surveillance mission, and wait for the navy fleet to arrive!
The reward is - 100 million Baileys!"
Luffy said in a deep voice:
"Okay, I understand.We received the transmitted navigation route map.We will go there."
Zhan Guo was a little anxious:
"Thank you very much!Please wait for the support from the follow-up naval fleet!"
Then Zhan Guo hung up the phone.
Zoro and Sanji looked serious:
"Luffy, what kind of mission is this?Why does the Admiral of the Navy have to contact for help personally?"
Although Nami was very surprised by the 100 million berries reward, she calmed down:
"One hundred million berries!Just to help the Vice Admiral complete his surveillance mission and wait for the naval fleet's support?"
Robin smiled slightly beside him:
"It was just a cover retreat for a surveillance mission.It seems the navy has gotten into a big mess this time.The enemy this time is definitely not a simple one."
Ah Jin also had a stern expression:
"Three vice admirals can only protect themselves?The navy has thrown a big problem this time."
The others also expressed their concerns.
Luffy smiled:
"Don't be too nervous.During this period, the Navy will have to carry out surveillance missions and request high-level combat support from Naval Headquarters.I have a rough idea of what to expect.
As for the conclusion, you'll know after you go and see it."
After hearing this, Sauron regained his composure:
"Since the captain knows what's going on, let's go and take a look!"
Luffy nodded:
"Well, I have a feeling, Zoro.This time the enemy will be a formidable one, and may be related to you!"
Zoro raised his eyebrows:
"Is it about me?"
Luffy grinned:
"Let's go, Merry!Temporarily change the destination and go check out the situation!"
Mary saluted:
"Yes, sir!"
The Golden Merry then turned and headed towards the address given by Zhan Guo.
Soon, the Merry arrived at a rough sea.
Surprisingly, the three navy vice admiral-standard warships on the sea ahead all dropped anchor and stopped on the rough sea, surrounded by several standard navy frigates and attack ships.
The Golden Merry slowly approached the naval fleet.
"Who is it?"
A navy sailor shouted and asked.
"Announcement, Monkey D.Luffy, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, has been commissioned by Marine Admiral Sengoku to provide support."
Luffy responded calmly.
When the navy sailor heard this, he immediately went down to report the situation.He could not afford any delay.
Soon, three naval vice admirals who were obviously injured and bandaged emerged from their respective flagships.
Usopp was also stunned when he saw this:
"Oh, all three lieutenant generals are injured!"
Luffy also said:
"Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel, Vice Admiral Ghost Spider, and Vice Admiral Burning Mountain.These three are renowned Vice Admirals.The Navy has deployed such a force but still struggles to achieve success.It seems something unexpected has occurred.Please explain the situation!
The highest-ranking Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel spoke:
"Hello, Lord Luffy, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.Thank you for coming to support us!"
Luffy waved his hand:
"Let's skip the unnecessary formalities and just tell us what's going on!Zhan Guo didn't say it explicitly on the Den Den Mushi, but he wants you to report the situation!"
Huoshaoshan made a gesture of invitation:
"The sea is rough, please come to the cabin and chat!"
Luffy looked at his companions:
"Zoro and I will board the warship, and you will be on guard around here!"
"good!"
Everyone agreed, and the taciturn Vice Admiral Ghost Spider also retreated back to the cabin.
Then, Luffy and Zoro flashed and jumped onto the navy ship in an instant, following the three wounded vice admirals into the cabin of the navy ship.
