Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 230 An unexpected encounter

Red Earth Continent, forty kilometers north of the Holy Land Mary Geoise, behind a small mound.

Three figures, one big and two small, were gathered together, squatting on the ground as if they were studying something.

"Hey... so magical, what is this thing?"

"Shh—be silent. She cannot be disturbed now."

“Ah…oh, oh!”

……

"Om~ Heaven and earth are holy~ The Supreme Lord Laojun has appeared~"

"Please bless me and I will succeed this time!"

"This is already the seventy-eighth time, so it's time for a small guarantee~"

"Don't tilt it!"

Muttering incomprehensible words, in the red girl's palm, a dice-sized golden cube was slowly dyeing the same color as her hair.

This process was extremely slow, and judging by the girl's trembling body, it must have been very strenuous...

The blue-haired girl beside her clenched her hands, staring at the red-haired girl's palms while silently calculating in her mind...

[77%…83%…95%…98%…just the last bit left.]
Finally, as the progress bar that the blue-haired girl was silently reciting in her heart reached the end, the golden blocks finally turned into a warm red!

Bah!
A thunderous sound that did not exist in this world flashed through everyone's soul.

"Hmmmmmm... Yay! It worked!"

"Wuhu~"

"Master, I've done it!"

Snapped!Snapped!
The red-haired girl stood up excitedly and high-fived the blue-haired girl and the black-haired middle-aged man next to her.

"Haha! I really am a genius!"

"Hmmmm~"

Picking up the red cube in his hand, or should it be called [Phantom Alloy Red], Osi admired it with joy.

Unlike the [Phantom Alloy Blue] synthesized by Obei, which was as quiet as death, the cube in Osi's hand was full of passionate restlessness, like a volcano that was about to erupt at any time.

"Now that I have a weapon, I'm thinking about what I should make... a spear? A great sword?"

"No, no, no, it's still the boxing gloves..."

"Haha! This thing looks so beautiful! Little girl, what is this?"

Just when Osi was in a dilemma, the middle-aged man with black hair beside him asked curiously.

"Hehe~ This, this is..."

"Ok?"

"No, who are you, uncle?"

"Why are you here?"

Osi, who had been concentrating on kneading the alloy with his hands, only then noticed that there was someone beside him.

[You just realized it now!]*n
A team of navy men who had been watching the entire process from a distance were all complaining in their hearts.

"Obe?"

"Don't look at me, I don't know either."

"This uncle has been here since a while ago. I didn't ask because I didn't want to disturb you."

Facing Osi's inquiring gaze, Ober responded as a matter of course that in her opinion nothing was more important than the success of the experiment.

"Um...so who are you, uncle?"

"Haha! I'm a navy patrolling here."

"Little girls, have you seen any suspicious people recently?"

The black-haired middle-aged man patted his pants and stood up, asking casually.

"No."

Ossie shook his head unconsciously.

"We've been here for days and haven't seen a single living person... except for you."

"Really? This is really troublesome..."

The middle-aged man scratched his head, looking troubled.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"That's right. It seems some restless individuals have been carrying out bombing attacks recently, disturbing a group of annoying world nobles ahead."

"Eh...? What kind of terrorists would be so bored as to launch a terrorist attack so high up in the sky?"

"Who says it's not~"

"Those scum in the south are making a fuss out of nothing. They even asked me to personally handle such a trivial matter."

The middle-aged man picked his nose and said with an unhappy look.

"Oh~ A company slave working overtime, that's bad."

"Uncle, it's not easy for you either. You actually have to work in such a remote place."

Ossi patted the other's calf in comfort.

"Alright, alright, you two little brats, if you're alright, go home quickly and don't stay in this dangerous place."

"If we really run into those guys who make explosions or those scumbag Celestial Dragons, we'll be in trouble."

Karp kindly reminded that even in his mind, the latter was far more dangerous than the former.

"Bogart, send a team out to escort these two brats home."

"Um, Vice Admiral Garp..."

The man in the suit named Bogart seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Osi thought the other party was embarrassed, so he waved his hand:
"Hey! No need to trouble you." "Now that the experiment is complete, we can just fly back."

Swish!
Swish!
Indigo and crimson light flashed by, and two pairs of wings of completely different styles stretched out from behind Obe and Osi.

"Bye, uncle."

"Well, be careful along the way."

"You too, I wish you could get off work early."

……

"Wait a moment!"

Just as the three were about to wave goodbye, Bogart on the side finally couldn't help but speak up to stop them.

"Huh?"*3
Looking at the three puzzled faces turning towards him, Bogart began to sweat faintly on his forehead covered by the brim of his hat.

"Lieutenant General Garp, these two men may be the perpetrators of the attack on the Holy Land."

Ossi: "Holy Land?"

Oubey: "Harrassment?"

Garp: "Murderer?!"

Three faces, one big and two small, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Are you kidding? How could such a young child possibly…"

"Vice Admiral Garp, these are not ordinary children!"

"They are the officers of the Beasts Pirates!"

Bogart put one hand on the hilt of the knife and took out a newspaper from his arms with the other hand and showed the contents to Karp.

"Eh! Yes, is that so?"

Garp's eyes widened as he looked at the photo in the newspaper in disbelief, then he looked at Osi and the other man who looked innocent.

“That’s totally different…”

Because of Morgans's talent for taking photos, the temperament of the two little ones published in the newspaper is actually seriously inconsistent with or even opposite to their real selves.

Of course, ordinary people can recognize it at a glance.

But Garp is no ordinary man...

Looking at the cold and arrogant [Ming Ji] in the photo, and then looking at the lively and cheerful little girl in front of me now...

Is this photo of you?
Why don't they look alike at all?

The little girl in blue next to her is also very cold and icy. She is completely different from the smiling little ghost in the photo...

"This, this photo is of you two?"

"Hmm~ It's us~ What's wrong?"

"Are you pirates?"

"No——"

"Ossie, we should go."

Ou Bei had already realized that the other party had come specifically to find them.

However, since the experiment had been completed, she didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she urged Osi to leave quickly.

"Hey~ Wait! You can't leave!"

"Are you the ones who have been causing explosions near the Holy Land?"

"No."

Oubey spoke calmly, his tone so decisive that even Garp began to doubt himself.

"Are you related to the Beasts Pirates?"

"No."

"This newspaper..."

“Fake News.”

"but……"

Garp wanted to say something else, but Oubey interrupted him directly:
"Sir, if you cannot provide direct evidence proving that we are involved in the incident you are investigating, then please allow us to leave first."

"After all, we are just ordinary people passing by."

"What? I see."

"Sorry to waste your time."

Karp clapped his hands and was about to let him go.

But just as Ouba was about to pull Osei away, the sound of a Den Den Mushi suddenly rang out...

"Bru~Bru~"

"Hello, who is it?"

Taking out a Den Den Mushi from his bag, Ouba answered the call directly.

"It's me, Oubey."

A disembodied voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Captain Kaido wants you to return now. We are about to go to war with the Wald Pirates."

"..."

"Yes, I understand."

Click~
The Den Den Mushi was hung up, and Obei leisurely put it back into his bag.

The atmosphere at the scene became a little awkward for a moment.
