Chapter 38
Marlon didn't expect that the person who came would be Flying Squirrel.
He can be regarded as an elite among the vice admirals.
The combat power of the navy is a bit wide. There is an insurmountable gap between the admirals and the vice admirals. The admirals can fight against the four emperors, but the vice admirals can't even resist the high-ranking officials of the imperial group. This is also the reason why the navy is very cautious about fighting with the imperial group.
After all, there are candidates to deal with the four emperors, but it is difficult to deal with the high-ranking officials. Moreover, the navy still needs strong people to guard the home. It is too difficult to wipe out the imperial group without going out in full force.
Marlon said goodbye to Smoker and Tashigi and came to the warship.
The warship escorting the prisoners was indeed extraordinary. This is a large ship of 100 meters. There are vice admirals stationed on the warship. This can be regarded as a level of crushing in the first half of the Grand Line.
When the warship set sail, Flying Squirrel came to Marlon and said,"We haven't seen each other since you graduated."
Marlon nodded and said,"Yes, I remember that it was Major General Quila who transported the prisoners."
"The prisoner this time has a special status. In order to ensure that everything is safe, I was sent here."
""Ahaha, you're right. If someone were to rob a prisoner on the way and saw that it was Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel, they would be so scared that they would run away." Malone flattered him.
Flying Squirrel seemed to be very pleased. Everyone likes flattery, just like every man doesn't like beautiful women.
Of course, if there are exceptions, they are purely individual cases.
After that, Malone found a bed in the poop and placed his precious devil fruit on the bed. It was wrapped in a sturdy wooden box so he was not afraid of being discovered.
Then he stayed on the deck with peace of mind, enjoying the sea breeze and the relaxation.
After sailing for half a day, he yawned and felt a little sleepy. He changed to a comfortable position and was about to take a nap on the chair.
Suddenly, the sky... A seagull messenger flew by in the sky.
It is said that if you wave your hand, the seagull will come down to sell newspapers. Malone has not tried it yet, and he doesn't know if this animal is really as smart as the rumors say.
So he tried to wave his hand.
In the air, the seagull had already flown over Malone's head, but the seagull still found someone waving, drew a curve in the air, and glided down to the boat.
After landing on the boat, the seagull took out a newspaper. Malone stuffed some banknotes into its chest pocket and touched the seagull's head.
The seagull was not angry. Seeing that it got the money, it flapped its wings and flew away.
"Ah, what a great technique, to be able to train seagulls to be so smart, this journalist Morgan is really a talent."
He sighed and looked at the newspaper in his hand.
""What the hell?"
A striking headline on the newspaper - Three Emperors become Four Emperors! Red-Haired Shanks firmly sits on the throne of the New World Pirate Emperor!
The battle for the New World is over! Red-Haired Shanks successfully seized the two islands of Momiji and Kikusan from the BIGMOM Pirates, and seized the Demon Islands from the Beasts Pirates. He fought earth-shaking battles with the two major emperors, demonstrated his military power, and the fourth Pirate Emperor was born!
""Hey, flying squirrel, come and read the newspaper." Malone waved the newspaper and called out to the flying squirrel.
The flying squirrel folded his hands in front of his chest, looking very serious like a leader. He almost broke down when he heard this, and quickly controlled his facial expression.
He came to Malone and was ready to lecture him, but when he saw the headline in the newspaper, his eyes bulged out several centimeters.
"This is……"
He quickly picked up the newspaper and read it quickly. The more he read, the more frightened he became.
"The new world has changed……"He let out a long breath.
Ma Long couldn't help shaking his legs. He was a little excited and wanted to go to the new world right now.
"Flying Squirrel man, is there a naval base in the New World?"
"Yes, G5 base, guarded by Lieutenant General Vergo"
"Oh, it's him!"Ma Long remembered
"What? Want to go to the new world?"
"Of course, the New World is so lively, how can the Navy not get involved?"
The flying squirrel looked into the distance, his eyes deep:"It's not time yet."
"Is it because the Four Emperors have gathered in the New World, and the Admiral is afraid that if the Navy intervenes heavily, the Four Emperors will attack them from both sides?"
"That's right, the Four Emperors' pirate group is extremely powerful, and you must never take it lightly when fighting them."
"It's just that the navy is too weak."Marlon sneered,"There are no four emperors in the first half of the Grand Line, and the navy still can't completely suppress them. There are big pirates everywhere. Not to mention the New World, which has become a special hideout for high-level pirates. The navy will only be violently expelled if they go in. If the four emperors join forces, they can make the navy base evaporate in an instant. No matter who goes there,"
"There is no possibility of the four emperors joining forces, otherwise they can directly attack the headquarters, and no one can stop them."The flying squirrel said.
Malone rubbed his hands and said,"Vergo is not possible, brother flying squirrel, can you recommend me to the top? With me guarding the New World G5 branch, we can definitely make the base bigger and stronger within two years."
"You?" The flying squirrel shook his head with a look of doubt on his face."Vice Admiral Vergo is very strong. He ranks among the top among many vice admirals and is deeply trusted by the marshal. Your dream should end here."
Malone was rejected without hesitation, but he was not discouraged at all.
He was thinking about whether there were other ways. The first half of the Grand Line could no longer accommodate a big dragon like him. He had to go to the second half to have fun.
The Four Emperors! Whitebeard! If I could have a pao, no, a fight with the strongest man in the world, I would definitely be able to break through my physical limit again!
How about escorting the prisoners over and finding a chance to sneak away?
But this would have a very bad impact. If it hindered my promotion to admiral, it would not be worth the loss. It turns out that only admirals can have enough say in the navy.
"Lieutenant General! We found a small boat ahead, heading towards us!"The navy on the observation tower shouted with a telescope.
The flying squirrel frowned and walked to the bow.
Malone thought something good might happen, so he followed behind.
A raft was slowly floating ahead. On the raft, a man in black with a top hat and a long cross sword on his back sat on the raft, his eyes as sharp as knives.
""Jorakol Mihawk!"
A navy man saw it and exclaimed.
Looking at the direction of the two ships, they would collide in a minute.
Should they give way or not? If they give way, who would give way?
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Hawkeye did not move at all, his sharp eyes were fixed on the warship.
The navy on the bow swallowed their saliva, and they felt their bodies trembling. Flying
Squirrel stared at Hawkeye, struggling with his mind and his expression.
Finally, he raised his arm.
"Turning"
""Snap!"
His arm was pulled down by Ma Long.
"The navy gave way to the pirates, do you want to be laughed to death? Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel."
