Pirates: I am the devil

Chapter 88: After searching everywhere, the person is still there in the dim light

"Rumble, rumble—"

The storm gathered, thunder rolled, and the rain poured down.

Amid the strong winds sweeping across the sea, a ferry was speeding across the raging waves.

A tall figure in a dark green cloak stood at the bow, his long hair wet by the rain, which kept sliding down his bald brows. His face looked as intimidating as a butcher on a rainy night.

Long held a permanent pointer in his hand, controlling the strong wind to push the ferry in the direction indicated by the pointer.

Looking back, the giant dog-head battleship could no longer be seen under the gray sky.

But Long knew very well that his father must be waiting behind him.

If he was alone, it would be easy for him to leave even if there were three vice admirals of the Navy Headquarters.

He also needed to take care of the ferry and the people on it, so he couldn't use more violent methods. Otherwise, it would only take a short while to get rid of the dog-head warship behind him.

Seeing how angry Dad was just now, it is possible that this guy Sirens had caused some big trouble again when he came to the Kingdom of Flowers. It is estimated that the Navy will start the second Demon Killing Operation this month.

It's just like his current situation, Sirens can leave at any time, but with the Flower Kingdom as a bond, he can run away but he cannot escape the temple.

If he really abandoned the people of the Flower Kingdom and fled alone, not only would his personal reputation plummet, but the reputation of the Self-Defense Force would also be extremely badly affected.

"This kid really caused us a lot of trouble."

Long was also helpless. He was sitting at home and something bad happened. Now they were dragged onto the pirate ship by Sirens. Not only did they have to run away with him, but they also had to help him clean up the mess.

But looking at it from a bright side, if they can really survive the war of destruction of the Flower Kingdom side by side, it can be considered a revolutionary friendship worth risking their lives for.

I just don’t know what kind of character Sirens is?
Even among O'Hara's archaeologists, few really knew him.

After all, they could never imagine why a helpless child who had lived in a forest in the suburbs for 10 years would suddenly become a wanted criminal with a billion yuan reward.

Just as Long was thinking about how he and Sirens should deal with his old father who was chasing them relentlessly after they arrived in the Kingdom of Flowers, the clouds in front suddenly rolled up, as if something was about to fall from the sky.

Long frowned, his nerves tense, and he had a bad feeling.

Just as he was watching intently, a naval warship without too much decoration and with all its sails furled slowly emerged from the clouds.

In this boundless gale, it was like an isolated steel island blocking the ferry.

Looking at the ferocious black muzzles of the naval warships, Long Hao had no doubt that their ferry would be reduced to wreckage in an instant with just one salvo of fire.

"Is that a navy ship?"

“When did the Navy develop a warship that can fly in the sky?”

The members of the Self-Defense Force and archaeologists who hid in the cabin to avoid being blown away by the strong wind all cried out in surprise, unable to believe their eyes.

"Vegapunk, is this your work?"

The dragon standing at the bow narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking of an acquaintance with a long and big head.

But if you look closely, you will find that there are no propellers or jet nozzles on this naval warship. It is more like the power of a fruit than the power of technology.

On the sea, there are only a few fruits that can send such a large ship into the sky, and the most iconic one is the Golden Lion Shiki.

But he should be imprisoned in the Impel Down Prison now. It is impossible that he sneaked out while Sirens was causing trouble in Impel Down.

Then the World Government should have reissued the bounty, there shouldn't be no news at all.

However, now is not the time to think about these trivial things. Long stretched out his hands with his ten fingers open. With his movements, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew towards the naval warship floating in the air, as if to blow it to the ends of the earth.

However, when the strong wind blew over the naval warship, it failed to shake it at all. At most, it broke the ropes hanging on the sails.

"Wow--"

Under the strong wind, the sail was inflated high, revealing a very eye-catching "crane" character.

"Lieutenant General Crane?"

When he saw the word "crane", Long couldn't help but frowned.

As the son of the naval hero Garp, he naturally knew this legendary female vice admiral of the navy who was known for her wisdom, but to be honest, he didn't really want to meet her at this time.

After all, he is now a "bad boy" in the eyes of the World Government and the Navy. If they meet, he will probably be nagged and then have a mixed doubles match with her and her old father.

But wasn’t the devil fruit that Vice Admiral Tsuru ate the Wash-Wash Fruit?

Long still remembered that when he refused his father's arrangement to join the navy, he threatened himself that he would ask Vice Admiral Tsuru to use the Wash-wash Fruit to cleanse his mind and purify those random and messy thoughts.

Although he didn't know why General He Zhong suddenly appeared in the West Sea and blocked his way, he could only trouble her to leave first. Otherwise, if he was attacked from both sides, he might have to fight a big battle today.

Thinking of this, a faint green light lingered on Long's body. He left the bow and floated in the air, his sharp eyes fixed on the naval warship slowly approaching above.

Boom boom boom——

Another loud thunderclap sounded in the sky, and the strong wind in this sea area became more and more intense, reaching a terrifying wind force close to a natural disaster level.

Just when Long was determined to destroy the naval warship and was about to take drastic measures, a tall young man in a long black windbreaker suddenly jumped out from the warship above that belonged to Vice Admiral He.

The other party was standing on the huge turret at the bow of the battleship, his clothes and long hair fluttering in the wind, and a pair of eyes as deep as the abyss, quietly staring at this side with a half-smile on his face.

Long Ding looked and found that it was not Lieutenant General He at all, but his revolutionary comrade-in-arms, Quetzal Sirens, whom he had come to find specifically.

After discovering the true identity of the visitor and making sure that the other party had no intention of attacking, Long immediately changed the direction of his attack.

At present, the wind power he has accumulated has reached an astonishing level. If it is forcibly dissipated, it will only cause an uncontrollable super storm in this sea area. At that time, the naval warships in the sky may not be in danger, but their ferry will definitely be torn to pieces.

So his hands, which were about to be stretched forward, suddenly changed direction and pushed to both sides.

The raging wind also followed his will and raged towards the left and right sides, even the dark clouds covering the sky were torn into two halves by this action.

The strong wind died down, the rain lessened, the storm dissipated, and the roar of thunder slowly faded away.

Soon, the originally gray and dark sky gradually cleared up, revealing the blue sky.

"Young man, you have good tactics."

Sirens, who was standing on the turret, clapped softly in praise.

He is indeed a man with his own special effects whenever he appears. If he hadn’t been worried about walking into the wrong set, he would have wanted to praise him as “Hurricane No Tarado”.

Looking back at the clearly visible word "Crane" on the huge sail behind him, Cyrus snapped his fingers and the evil fire chain immediately folded the sail again.

Controlling the naval warship into the sea, Sirens looked down at the dragon standing at the bow, who looked like a black-haired Super Saiyan 3, with a little doubt in his eyes. This is strange, isn't the most iconic feature of the leader of the Self-Defense Forces the dark green cloak and the slipper print on his face?

How come there is only a cloak left now and no slipper prints?

Is it because the revolutionary army has not yet been established?
So he wasn't beaten with a slipper by his father?

Although I can't figure it out, I'm too lazy to think about it. At worst, I can make it up to him later.

But I just told Robin that it's probably impossible to take her to see the uncle with the shoe prints on his face now.

She turned around and winked at the little girl who was hugging the dog on the deck, indicating that her brother should go find someone to chat with and she should stay where she was.

Robin was a little confused, but nodded obediently.

Sirens moved forward along the barrel of the gun, and with his last step he fell directly from the sky, landing steadily on the bow of the ferry, and came face to face with the eagerly awaited dragon.

However, the moment their eyes met, Sirens couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Because now it was his turn to look up at the dragon, this guy was half a meter taller than him.

But fortunately, if I lack height, I can make up for it with momentum.

With the value of his 3 billion bounty for the King of Flower Country, it is definitely much better than Long, a "nobody" who is only worth a few small targets.

After all, Long is an old hand who has been on the sea for many years. How could he not notice the change in Sirens' eyes?

If he wasn't used to keeping a straight face in front of people, and if there was no old guy chasing him closely, he really would have wanted to laugh out loud.

The famous O'Hara world-destroying demon actually has such a naive side.

However, considering that his real age is only fifteen, which is the most lively and passionate stage of a teenager, there is nothing surprising about it.

After straightening his mind, he took the lead in extending his hand and introducing himself:

"Hello, I am the leader of the Self-Defense Forces - Long."

"Hello, I am the King of the Flower Kingdom - Sirens."

Don't hit a smiling person. Sirens originally wanted to step back and stand on the raised position of the bow to increase his altitude. Now it was not a good time to do anything else. He also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Long tightly:
"I have heard of the leader of the Ziyong Army for a long time. Seeing him today, I find that he is indeed extraordinary."

Sirens's opening remarks were just a formal one, but Long took them seriously and asked curiously:
"We, the Self-Defense Forces, have always been known to keep a low profile. I wonder where His Majesty Quetzal heard of us."

"No need to call me Your Majesty or anything like that. Just call me Sirens."

Cyrus was not used to these complicated formalities and said that everything should be done as it pleases:
"In fact, it was mentioned in the notes left by my parents that there is an organization called the Self-Defense Force that speaks for the poor and fights for the rights that normal citizens deserve."

Although Sirens's mediocre parents did leave behind many notebooks recording their adventures, there were no records related to the Self-Defense Forces. What he just said was all his own nonsense.

After all, he couldn't say that he knew the Self-Defense Forces from a comic book.

When Long heard his answer, his expression looked a little strange.

He had indeed met Sirens' parents several times, but at that time the Self-Defense Forces only existed in his imagination. Could they have predicted the future?

However, the other person gave him a plausible excuse to save his face, so he couldn't refute him in person. He decided to put the matter aside for now and discuss it again when they were more familiar with each other.

"It's really an honor." Long withdrew his hand, and after a brief greeting, expressed his sincere regret for the unfortunate death of Sirens' parents.

After all, in his original plan, he had actually thought about bringing the couple into the Self-Defense Forces to fight together for the people and peace.

It was a pity that he had just left the navy at that time, and his influence was not great. Apart from the fact that he had a father who was a navy hero and whom he did not want to show off, he had nothing else to attract others.

However, he did not expect that by the time he had finally assembled a team and had the strength to stand firm on the sea, the two seniors he had been optimistic about had passed away one after another.

One died of illness, the other died at the hands of pirates.

"I have actually been tracking down the murderer who killed your father over the years, but unfortunately I still haven't found him."

Long subconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to pat Sirens' shoulder like an elder and give him some comfort.

However, before he could raise his hand, Sirens smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I have already helped them to avenge all their grudges."

"What?" Long blinked twice, not understanding what Sirens meant.

What does it mean to help them avenge themselves? Shouldn't it be to avenge his father's murder?

But before he could ask his questions, more than a dozen frail-looking figures emerged from the ferry cabin behind him.

But even though they were weak, they could not conceal the excitement on their faces. They rushed forward with flushed faces and chattered non-stop.

"Sirens, it's really you."

"Sirens, I'm so glad you're okay."

"Sirens..."

The originally empty deck suddenly seemed a little crowded. Looking at these people with fanatical expressions, Sirens suddenly couldn't hold back.

There is no other reason, because these were the archaeologists he rescued and whose lives or deaths were unknown.

The people leading the group were none other than Dr. Clover, whose condition had improved slightly after treatment, and Nicole Olbia, who had a head full of white hair.

"Why are they here?" Sirens turned his head stiffly and looked at Long, whose character collapsed and whose face showed a relieved smile.

"At that time, the Self-Defense Forces were being hunted down by the World Government and the Navy. I happened to be on a mission in the West Sea, so I came to O'Hara to pay my respects. Unexpectedly, I ran into Dr. Clover and his team who were building a ship and wanted to leave."

Dr. Clover stepped forward, his face excited, his voice trembling with emotion:
"Yes, it's really thanks to Long, otherwise we might have let your good intentions down."

When Dr. Clover thought about how Sirens chose to fight to the death with the navy in order to protect their survival, he couldn't help but feel his eyes slightly red.

It was obvious that they had not given any care and warmth to Sirens at the beginning, but when they were about to die, he risked his life to save them.

Such a great favor, they really have no way to repay it.

Olbia on the side could not hide her excitement. If it were not for the wrong timing, she would have rushed over to ask where her daughter was.

Sirens felt inexplicably heavy-hearted. He had clearly tried his best to avoid looking for these archaeologists, so how come he was bumped into in the middle of the road?

Before he could figure out how to start, a voice full of surprise suddenly rang out from the naval battleship behind him:

"Mom? Dr. Clover?!"
