The Great Voyage: I Became Nami's Brother at the Start

However, this was not an isolated incident!

As reconnaissance planes flew further and further away, similar scenes appeared more and more frequently.

"Is it possible..." Todd paused for a moment before speaking his opinion: "This planet doesn't have a proper country at all, but is ruled by powerful pirate crews, or rather... by a space pirate crew, the Wasteland Space Pirates?"

"Just like...just like..."

Grandma Crane added, "Just like our previous world government! After seizing control of the world's center, it collected heavenly gold under seemingly legitimate reasons, but in reality, it was constantly exploiting all member states."

“Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.” Todd clenched his fist and slapped his palm.

Cole nodded, raised his fist and clenched it in front of the video screen, saying, "I think it's very likely! But before that, we can ask around! For example, go to a factory and rescue a worker. Or capture one and interrogate them!"

“That’s easy.” Norton nodded and looked at Nolan: “Nolan, just find a target and bring them over.”

“Okay.” Nolan nodded.

Soon, a larger image appeared in the center of the entire projection screen.

That was after the reconnaissance plane locked onto a target, it flew down in stealth mode.

The target was a thin, furry fox-woman, dressed in tattered clothes and wearing shackles on her feet.

For some unknown reason, he was running forward with a look of fear on his face.

Behind her, two dog-headed men wielding whips were hot on her heels.

Under Nolan's control, the reconnaissance plane landed in front of the fox woman and opened the hatch.

"Come on up, I'll get you out of here!" Nolan's voice rang out, gentle and reassuring.

Faced with a door that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, the fox-woman didn't have time to think and hurriedly ran up to it.

With the hatch closed, the reconnaissance aircraft once again entered stealth mode and flew away.

The kobolds chasing after them were all dumbfounded.

"What about people?"

"It was just here a moment ago!"

"Could it have hidden by the roadside?"

"Impossible! Even if they hid, the scent should still be there! Are all your noses useless?"

The kobolds sniffed frantically, but couldn't detect even the slightest scent of the fox woman.

They successfully picked up a fox-woman, and the reconnaissance plane quickly took her away from Planet Prans and back to the space station.

Then, the bewildered fox woman got off the reconnaissance aircraft, took a shower and disinfected herself while following the guide robot, and changed into a clean dress before being led to the cockpit.

On the way, no matter what the fox woman asked, the guiding robot just smiled and didn't say anything.

Even so, it had already put the fox woman at ease.

At least here, no one looks at her coldly, or even beats or scolds her at the slightest provocation.

Chapter 340 Intelligence is the Most Important

The door opened, and the fox-like woman followed the guide robot into the cockpit, immediately feeling a chill run down her spine from the stares of the people in front of her.

"You...how could you..." The fox woman had never seen a human before. Suddenly seeing so many people with only hair on their heads, she was both surprised and shocked.

"Don't be nervous, sit down and we can talk while we eat." Norton walked over and raised his hand.

Immediately, a service robot floated over and landed next to the fox woman, transforming into a chair and a dining table.

Then another food delivery robot floated over and placed delicious food and water on the table.

The fox-woman stared wide-eyed at the food and water in front of her, then at the people in front of her, and instantly made a choice!

These people in front of me are all just air! Only the food is real!

After swallowing hard, the fox woman still ate with all her heart.

It's unclear how long she had been hungry, but the way she wolfed down her food was heartbreaking to see.

Furthermore, as the fox-woman ate, tears of emotion welled up in her eyes, making the scene even more heartbreaking.

Norton gestured for everyone to sit down and calm down.

Only after the fox girl finished eating all the food and took a big gulp of SSS-grade drinking water did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Alright, can you answer a few questions for me now?" Norton winked at Mickey, who stepped forward and asked with a smile.

She's in charge of diplomacy and intelligence, so it's most appropriate for her to ask.

The fox woman glanced at her, then at the other smiling people, and nodded.

"Tell us a general overview of the situation on your planet and why you've been enslaved," Miki asked, trying to keep her voice gentle.

The fox-woman lowered her head and remained silent for a few seconds before suddenly bursting into tears: "It was them! That damned wasteland interstellar pirate crew! They attacked the entire planet, destroyed countless kingdoms, and then established their rule with an iron fist. And we ordinary civilians were forced into centuries of enslavement..."

"Even throughout the long course of history, many of us have tried to resist them, but all have ended in failure. Their weapons were too powerful; we were no match for them! Waaah..."

When she got to the sad part, the fox woman started to cry.

Norton narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, a cold glint flashing within them, and said, "First destroy science, then suppress science, and keep science and technology in your own hands, so as to achieve a relative scientific monopoly and complete an absolute suppression effect... This is exactly the same as the actions of the World Government!"

Norton's words ignited a surge of anger in everyone's hearts.

This kind of behavior—extinguishing people's hope and forcing them to live forever at the bottom of society, never seeing a new world—is utterly insane!

If Norton hadn't led the Kingdom of Oycot to rise to prominence on Planet Aquamarine, the planet would probably still be unaware of wind power stations, mobile phones, and televisions, let alone the possibility of exploring the cosmos.

"Everyone! What do you say?" After a long silence, Norton looked at everyone and said, "This matter doesn't concern our planet, and we could have ignored it. So, are we going to help Planet Prans achieve liberation, or turn a blind eye?"

“How could we possibly turn a blind eye! My fists are itching for a fight!” Garp was the first to step forward.

“That suits me perfectly!” Kuzan’s eldest disciple also stepped forward.

“Those guys are absolutely damned.” Todd thought of his son Katie. Who would want to see their next generation living in such a chaotic world?

Yi Xiao nodded in agreement: "I also agree to go on the expedition! The will of the Free Alliance should not be limited to Aquamarine Star!"

"That's right!" Colt shouted with fervor, "His Majesty the King's free will should spread throughout the entire cosmos! Let the entire starry sky be free of oppression!"

Norton smiled as he listened to the conversation.

We're still passionate young people at heart!

But it doesn't matter, let's fight it out, it's not like we don't have the strength!

The fox-woman standing in front of the crowd trembled with excitement upon hearing these words.

These people are coming to rescue us!

They're coming to rescue us!

Will we ever see the sun again?

I can't even imagine...

The fox-woman looked at everyone with tears in her eyes, finally fixing her gaze on Norton, who was the center of attention.

She was now absolutely certain that the bald man was the king of these people!

Although he's a bit ugly, it doesn't matter if he can really help them save Planet Prans.

“Since everyone’s answer is so consistent…” Norton smiled and looked at the fox girl: “Then you are lucky! Everyone, prepare for battle! The three escort ships will be handed over to Grandpa Garp, Uncle Yixiao, and Uncle Kuzan respectively. The teleportation array has been completed and the permissions have been granted to everyone. Please lead your teams and set off!”

"it is good!"

The crowd cheered and stepped onto the teleportation array next to them.

"Everyone, the Wavebreaker is mine now!" Garp stepped into the teleportation array and found that all three escort ships had their own names. He immediately chose one and teleported away.

Yixiao walked up and said with a slight smile, "In that case, I will accept the Chengfeng Hao!"

Yixiao was also teleported away.

Kuzan walked up and smiled, "This is what was prepared for me! Ice Age, I want it!"

Kuzan is gone too.

The Wind Chaser and the Wave Chaser were names Norton specifically gave to Garp and Yixiao, while Ice Age was a name given to Kuzan.

In that case, wouldn't it be more comfortable for the three of them to stay on their own boat?

Immediately afterwards, the troops counted by the three men also began to teleport to the cockpits of the three escort ships through the teleportation arrays in their respective military camps.

The cockpit of the small aircraft on the frigate is the same as that on the space station, so it will feel very familiar to you.

"Nolan, how's the intelligence situation?" Norton asked Nolan after everyone had left.

“It will take a few more minutes, Your Majesty.” Nolan displayed a flight map on the projector.

Nodding, Norton looked at the fox-woman again: "War is about to begin, and intelligence is the most important thing. As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know yourself, and you will never be defeated.' Can you provide any useful intelligence? For example, where is the headquarters of the Wasteland Interstellar Pirates, and where are their branches?"

The fox-woman shook her head guiltily: "I'm sorry, I'm just a lowly worker and don't understand these things."

“However…” Suddenly, the fox woman thought of something else: “I remember hearing the guards say that the Wasteland Interstellar Pirates have three main cities, each managing one of the three regions of Planet Purance.”

Chapter 341 Determining the Seven Stars!

"Three major regions? Three major cities, huh?" Norton nodded thoughtfully. "Alright, leave the rest to us!"

Drop drop drop...

"Your Majesty, three escort ships have received a signal," Nolan reported, turning around.

"Bring her in." Norton returned to his seat, and the fox woman sat down beside him.

The communication was connected, showing Garp, Issho, and Kuzan wearing helmet connectors.

Looking at the three of them, Norton reassured them, "The intelligence should be back soon, so please be patient."

"Hahaha... Okay, we're all ready, we can start anytime!" Garp laughed heartily.

Yi Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I have received your gift. I like it very much. Thank you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a miniature flying vehicle landed on Yixiao's shoulder.

That was a gift Norton specially prepared for Yixiao. From now on, whenever Yixiao wants to see something, she can wear the sensor helmet and observe the surrounding situation through the little robot's camera.
