Human head-sized blisters floated from the bottom of the seabed, and gu lu lu's voice was continuous, and in the invisible seabed, there seemed to be weird shadows swimming past the deep darkness.
On the side of the destroyed Marine station's island, a Battleship from the Grand Line berthed. In the sky, a white shadow plunged down quickly. Bell spread out the wings of a falcon, Landing on the steep peaks inserted diagonally, the rugged and grotesque mountains come into view, and countless colorful ores are piled under the feet.
"Did the entire island fall here from the air? Golden Lion Shiki is really terrifying!" Bell bent over to pick up a piece of ore, and his sharp nails cut an unremarkable piece of green at the corner of the ore. Pick off the spot.
Not only this ore, the whole mine is covered with green vegetation, like scattered moss unevenly distributed on the mine, and even some green spots are tenacious The entanglement is mixed into the surface of the ore, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance.
Bell moved towards the docked Battleship beckoned, and the Marine lined up carrying many empty sacks and mining tools.
"These ores are broken and fall, which saves the trouble of digging." Major Marine, the leader of the team, looked at the colored stone mines that could be picked up everywhere, and picked up a piece easily. Wipe off the green moss sticking to the surface of the ore.
More Marine soldiers found it troublesome, so they directly stuffed the ore into a sack with the wet "moss" on it.
"After the collision of the two islands, all the buildings were destroyed, and people and animals died, but the remaining plants could grow and spread as impudent." Bell didn't think much. Sharp eyes saw several Pirate Ships with skull flags dangling along the coast.
The shrill sound of inferior iron cannons blasted, and the heavy solid shells drew a parabola in midair and smashed down the parked Battleship.
The extremely poorly accurate shells fell on the sea and the shore, and the splashes and rubble splashed on both sides of the ship's side. Marine, who was carrying ore, was startled and immediately furiously entered the battle. status.
The gun locks lined up on the side of the ship were opened, and the dark and sophisticated gun bores stretched out. The continuous shelling responded. The dumped shells sank a Pirate Ship, and the remaining two Pirate Ships were shocked. Jump, quickly drew a dodge curve on the sea, speeding up moved towards the shore.
The Pirate Ship that was smashed into, dozens of Pirate fell into the water, with steel knives and muskets in their hands, sinking into the seabed with excellent water quality and swimming towards the shore.
"It seems that the rumors that Pirate attacked Marine have been heard these days are true. Is the situation in East Blue chaotic so far!" Marine's face on the shore was cloudy, and the murderous-looking ones greeted the enemy. Kill it.
Ten minutes later, the unknown Pirates threw the corpse on the ground and fled in a rout. Marine also killed some of the soldiers. Most of the soldiers were decorated with color.
The smell of blood diffused in the air mixed with the fragrance of green plants. Bags of blood-stained sacks were carried on the cabin. No one noticed that the blood-soaked sacks were in contact with the cabin floor. Locally, some unremarkable green spots are growing and spreading strangely.
........................... ......
Marine Club.
A row of flags of seagulls hunting in the wind, stabbing the gloomy sky with a touch of white, black and white. Inside the fist-shaped building is a huge Conference Hall with a redwood-like circular table diameter. It is 30 meters long and is fixedly placed around a round table with uniform chairs.
The iron chair armrests are embedded with dark gold patterns. The front and back of the chair are inscribed with the seagull flag. The center of the flag is carved with a vertical pattern symbolizing the Battleship logo, which represents the Marine Club. The rank of membership.
The light of the round table is wiped off, and the spotless table top is placed on a triangular iron table. The iron table is like an ornament. It is exactly opposite to each seat, and the sequence is also accurately marked on it. number.
Each sequence of Arabic numerals corresponds to the corresponding Marine Club. Chi Yeben sits directly opposite the gate of the Conference Hall. It is regarded as the main seat. The expressionless expression is like an is a sculpture.
Standing behind him, Kuro, who was in a straight military uniform and put on white gloves, opened and held the frame of the frame. He squinted his eyes and stared at each Marine who walked in from the door, with the corners of his mouth hanging. Professional smirk.
From Kuro's position, we can clearly see the entire Conference Hall, especially the empty seats. Just a glance at the iron table on the table and the sign on the chair. He thought It was immediately clear which representative of the Marine club was, and failed to arrive on time.
Almost the entire East Blue "semi-official organization" is called semi-official because it has been recognized in writing by Marine Headquarters, and it is called official because all members wear military uniforms .
Jones Road sits on the seat near Chi Yeben, observing the sparse seats quietly. Almost half of the seats are absent, especially the seats in front of the members. None of the familiar faces on it appeared.
Since the operation of the Marine Club has been on the right track, this is the first time this large-scale absence has occurred. He glanced at Kuro, who had a false smile on his face, as if he was not surprised. Smelling the cold temperament exuding from the opponent, it was almost like a replica of Yarlin.
"Some branches were destroyed by the Golden Lion Shiki, so the entire branch weaving was wiped out, but not so many people were absent, because they absconded because of fear, or were attacked by Pirates, or ..." Jones Dao was suspicious in his mind. He looked towards those Marine Captains who were present, and all of them looked strange and silent, and seemed to have noticed the unusual weird atmosphere.
"The time is up!" Chi Yeben raised his watch and glanced at it, and said with a cold voice.
The gate of the Conference Hall was closed from the outside, and the enclosed space fell into silence. Only Chi Yeben's indifferent voice was left. The specially designed internal structure allowed the voice of speech to be amplified, like a three-dimensional surround Echoes echoed in everyone's eardrums.
"It's a pity that so many members were absent from the club's meeting. I am very sad for their deaths. The reason for all this is clear to everyone here. Naturally, it is because Golden Lion Shiki was in East Blue. The great waves caused." Chi Yeben said slowly: "Whether it is to respond to the club, protect our own interests, or to be worthy of our military uniform, we must fight Pirate to the end!"
"..." All Marine Captain's hearts were shaken.
"Is absence directly defined as death?" Jones said that many possible guesses in his mind were immediately flooded by cold water. He did not receive the slightest wind from Kuro beforehand. He glanced at the empty seat. My heart shuddered slightly: "Since Chi Yeben dares to say that, he is really dead!"
