Tokyo Detective

Chapter 370 Destroyer Cuts Through the Pacific Ocean

With a thought, Naoki Hanyu's facial features changed significantly, so much so that even familiar people wouldn't recognize him; at most, they would only feel that the outline looked vaguely familiar.

Naoki Hanyu can finally walk openly without having to wear a mask all the time for fear of being recognized.
.
It's the height of summer now, and Hawaii is in its peak tourist season. If Naoki Hanyu weren't busy, staying here to hunt for women might be a good option.

Bikinis, voluptuous figures, a paradise for the rich.

Next, he took a boat from Honolulu to the southernmost island of Hawaii, and from there took out his yacht and sailed south.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Naoki Hanyu stood on the top of the yacht, admiring the blue sea and sky in front of him, and even had a great time sunbathing, while his miserable clone was driving in the cockpit.

"Damn it, all it knows is how to enjoy itself. I also want sunshine and beaches, beautiful women and bikinis. Well, there are no beautiful women here."

Just then, darkness spread across the horizon, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be pitch-black clouds, interspersed with flashes of lightning.

"Wake up, there's a huge thunderstorm."

Naoki Hanyu opened his eyes and, as expected, saw the pitch-black world enveloping him, with the rain gradually obscuring his vision.

First, the calm sea breeze grew stronger, then the waves gradually increased in size, one meter, two meters, five meters. The rain curtain in the field of vision drew closer and closer until it swallowed the yacht.

Naoki Hanyu, however, was not afraid and opened his arms to feel the pounding of the wind and rain.

[Ding! Storm Child activated, all attributes +40]

"Haha, come on stronger, it's not enough."

It was pitch black all around, except for the flashes of thunder illuminating the dark sea, and a yacht drifting with the waves.

Suddenly, a strange cry came from the seabed, like a long siren.

Immediately afterwards, a huge sperm whale broke through the waves not far from the yacht, its massive body crashing down and creating a huge splash.

This is a sperm whale with a completely white body. Its body is covered with scars, proving that it has been through many battles. There are even half a harpoon left on its skin, as well as old scars from artillery shells.

The most terrifying thing is the size of the beluga whale, which is a full 45 meters long. To put this in perspective, an average adult male sperm whale is only 16 to 20 meters long and weighs 45 to 70 tons.

This behemoth is more than twice the size of its kind, with an estimated weight of over 250 tons, even larger than its relative, the blue whale. What an exaggerated size!

Naoki Hanyu stared in astonishment, his eyes wide open, unable to blink even as the rain pattered against his eyeballs.

"This is a legendary creature, a whale that has broken through the limits of its species. If I defeat it, I can complete the title achievement."

Naoki Hanyu thought about it and decided to give up. Judging from the injuries on this big guy's body, he was definitely a very experienced fighter. Although he had the Storm Child skill in the sea, it was still the opponent's home ground. He couldn't even imagine what would happen to him if he was hit by a monster weighing more than 250 tons.

Soon, Naoki Hanyu was glad he hadn't made a move, because sperm whales were also surfacing one after another. It was a large pod of whales, estimated to be over a hundred, and the leader was the beluga whale.

The whales traveled at roughly the same speed as the yacht, with whales occasionally brushing past it, and the yacht seemed a bit curious about the vessel.

The experience of being surrounded by thunderstorms, giant waves, and the roar of whales gave Naoki Hanyu a sense of unreality.

Just as Naoki Hanyu was engrossed in watching the whales, a giant wave thirty meters high was approaching from ahead. Startled, Naoki Hanyu quickly retrieved the yacht. Even if the yacht could withstand the wave, it would be severely damaged, not to mention that it might capsize.

The next second, Naoki Hanyu was swept into the sea by a giant wave and rolled dozens of meters before shaking his head and surfacing.

"A truly terrible experience."

As Naoki Hanyu watched the whale pod swim further and further away, he realized that these whales were deep-sea creatures and it was very rare for them to appear in groups during a storm, so he quickly swam to catch up.

The chase by one person quickly attracted the attention of some whales. How did this two-legged creature catch up?

After swimming for a minute, a sperm whale calf finally couldn't resist its curiosity and approached.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Naoki Hanyu couldn't understand the strange sounds, but that didn't stop him from touching the cubs with his own hands, ignoring the crashing waves.

Just then, a strong sense of crisis struck. A giant whale burst out of the waves beside him, its eyes fixed on Naoki Hanyu. It was the beluga whale.

Naoki Hanyu could see those rows of teeth, sharp as blades, very clearly.

Naoki Hanyu raised his hands.

"Big guy, I mean no harm."

The two, one large and one small, stared at each other. This nearly 300-year-old beluga whale monster had witnessed humanity's domination of the oceans and fought against countless whaling ships. It had even destroyed more than one third-class battleship of the British Empire during the age of sail.

In the past, it was called the White Catastrophe by sailors at sea. Its flesh was impervious to ordinary firearms, and even ancient cannons could not seriously injure it. It was a legendary creature in the Earth's oceans.

Such creatures perceive the two-legged creatures before them as dangerous, no less so than their former natural enemies.

The two creatures silently gazed at each other until Naoki Hanyu slowly approached and touched his skin with his palm, the delicate sensation of which was irresistible.

Seeing that the other whales were not hostile, the beluga whales called out to their companions to return to the deep sea, and then the thunderstorm whale pod disappeared.

This is the warship that the squid called the strongest frigate. Although it is only about 2000 tons, its firepower is not weak and can rival that of some destroyers.

Unfortunately, he wasn't familiar with this thing and wouldn't be able to control it in the short term, otherwise he could have used it for the upcoming event.

Thirty minutes later, Naoki Hanyu felt hungry. Even with his physique, swimming in the raging waves was a bit strenuous.

Thankfully, the sky in the distance finally began to lighten, and the waves weren't so turbulent anymore.

"Finally swam out."

Naoki Hanyu first took out the yacht to rest and eat well, then controlled his clone to travel to the approximate location.

We're only 70 kilometers from Nitsky Island; it's time to make our move.

First, a seagull was controlled by Naoki Hanyu and flew to Nitsky Island. When night fell, a huge object suddenly appeared on the sea.

This is an Aegis destroyer, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, Flight IIA type.

The 155-meter-long ship floated on the sea. The navy gray color looked very nice, and at least Naoki Hanyu could never get tired of it. After all, it was his own warship, even if it was a little old.

Naoki Hanyu climbed onto the ship's hull, first using all his skills and 100% muscle control to boost his mental power to 320, then summoning 40 clones, instantly filling the entire deck with people.

After Hanyu Naoki deactivated his skill, he sat down on the ground looking exhausted, his head buzzing.

This is how to use the bug. Even so, having only 20 stamina points left is still quite unpleasant. Fortunately, you can recover 1 stamina point every 100 seconds, and 36 stamina points can be recovered in an hour.

The clones chattered on the ship until Naoki Hanyu shouted loudly.

"Soldiers, get to your positions!"

"What? I'm a first mate, how come I'm a soldier? I'm a colonel."

"I'm a gunner, not some nobody."

"I'm."

One by one, they had different opinions, which made Naoki Hanyu laugh in exasperation. Fortunately, these guys were sensible enough to change into America-style naval uniforms first, and then take their positions according to the original's instructions.

Thus, this destroyer, which required 300 people to operate, was started by 40 clones with the lowest configuration.

The steel behemoth sliced ​​through the sea; its target was the enemy island.

When Naoki Hanyu dealt with Ryuga, he had thought about dealing with Morgans, but he didn't want the trouble and left it alone for the time being. Now that Morgans has jumped out, it's a good opportunity to physically destroy the enemy.
