Pirates: The Black Earl

"Hmm...a strange ceiling."

Lovett's eyes were half-open, and he couldn't see clearly, but the musty smell of decay on the tip of his nose told him that he was still in the cell.

"But at least he survived."

The blood loss and hypothermia caused him to have a high fever unfortunately, and his head was dizzy. The mages are all monsters whose spirit is above the body, so that he can still think calmly in this situation.

There was a trace of coolness coming from the wound of the severed left arm, and even if you didn’t look at Lovett, you would know that, compared to the simple bandages before, it was obvious that professional doctors had taken care of him seriously.

This is a fatal wound!

If he could survive alone, Lovett would not choose to gamble.

Blood loss, wound infection, even without the experience of soaking in the sea in the middle of the night to add insult to injury, this weak body may not be able to hold on.

He needs a doctor.

So he would rather hypnotize Monka a second time without resting while dragging his dying body... As the battle hero who arrested "Hundred Schemes" Crowe, Monka's attitude can change the thinking of the upper navy even if he can't. Let him receive a certain degree of preferential treatment in the 153 branch.

At least……

Death, definitely won't let him die.

As for... what if the upper echelon of the navy refuses to acknowledge his contribution to "deserving crimes and making meritorious service" and still kills him as a pirate?

"Ah……"

Lovett grinned and let out a chuckle.

What he was looking for was just this period of recuperation to get through the most difficult moments.

As long as he returns to a one-star or even half-star spellcasting level, as a necromancer, Lovett really doesn't think he can't survive in the East China Sea, the weakest sea.

"Huh? He's awake?"

The chuckle was not obvious, it sounded more like an unconscious moan to outsiders.

The two navy soldiers in charge of guarding the cell looked at each other, and the other suddenly stood up and filled the glass with water.

"Are you crazy? The superiors haven't decided what to do with him yet!"

His companion stopped him in surprise.

He was silent for a moment, shook his head and passed the barrier: "Since I am in charge of guarding the cell, I can't just watch the prisoner die in it...unless it is a death row prisoner."

The reward of 1 million Baileys is obviously not in the category of death row criminals, and the wanted warrants are all "Dead Or Live".

The companion stopped talking, he knew that this person's elder brother happened to be on that warship.

After a fight, even though the big pirate Crowe was successfully arrested, only two of the 153 branch and the colonel survived from the hundred people on board...

A second-class soldier and a bounty prisoner.

It is impossible to dismantle the establishment. The geographical location of each branch is finally determined after careful consideration by the top, but it will take a long time to restore it to the past.

"That's how it is, it's up to us to be willful."

Shaking his head with a wry smile, the man turned his head away and dozed off.

...

At the same time, the great route, an island in the iron triangle of the maelstrom.

The buildings on the island are distributed from east to west, and the location close to the windless zone is the family town, where most of the families of the soldiers of the headquarters live.

The east is a vast port, and the sea is lined with warships and flags, showing the might of the iron and blood army.

This is the Navy Headquarters!

Marlin Fodor, the headquarter of the navy that is powerful in all directions and maintains the peace of the sea in the name of "justice"!

At the core of the island is a tall and majestic trapezoidal fortress. On the white walls of the fortress, there are vertical black brush characters: "Justice". It has stood here for hundreds of years. Fodor, like this fortress, stands tall and unfallen.

Today, the three famous admirals of the navy and the marshal "Buddha's Warring States" with many achievements are sitting here. In addition, the existence of the "Navy Hero" and "Iron Fist" Karp who personally arrested Roger in the propaganda,

Let this place become a Jedi where countless villains look at the ocean and sigh.

In the middle of the fortress, in a spacious office.

"That is to say... the East China Sea 153 branch finally managed to arrest Crowe with the help of a pirate, right?"

As a pirate with a bounty of 16 million Baileys, he may be considered a celebrity in the East China Sea, but in the entire sea, it is just a personal name, which is not enough to alarm the high-ranking lieutenant generals in the headquarters, especially the veteran among the veterans, Flying Squirrel.

The main reason is that the loss of branch 153 was too severe this time, so he was required to handle it personally.

In the past, the arrangement of comforting the families of the sacrificed soldiers and then rewarding the meritorious ministers would be such that the flying squirrels are familiar with the road, but... how did they get involved with the pirates?

"Yes... yes! It is indeed a pirate."

The person in charge of the East China Sea gave a nervous answer from the phone bug, and then someone not far away seemed to be muttering in a low voice: "He didn't volunteer to go to sea to become a pirate."

But soon there was a crisp sound, the door was closed, and the speaker was kicked out as expected.

It's not surprising that someone supported the pirate flying squirrel. Before he came to take over the matter, someone had already prepared all the relevant materials.

Honestly, nice job!

The flying squirrel was very supportive of Lovett's actions.

but……

The point is not whether he has been wronged, but his current status.

Pirates!

A pirate who was declared a pirate by the world government for attacking a government official!

The authority of the world government cannot be challenged, and the current stability of the sea is also inseparable from this authority, so even if it is wrong, it must be swallowed and said to be right.

Not to mention...

As a navy, there is no way to change the world government's thinking.

The flying squirrel is a headache, why must it be a pirate?

This matter is not handled well, but it is more serious than the unrest brought about by Crowe.

"Stand still, I'll consider taking the exam..."

While talking, the flying squirrel suddenly put down the receiver, stood up and saluted: "General Qingzhi!"

The person who came was none other than the current three admirals of the navy, the monster in the eyes of the world, general, "Aokiji" Kuzan!

Aokiji is tall and thin, but it is different from the wretchedness of the yellow monkey. He wears a blue shirt and a white mandarin jacket, giving people a refreshing feeling.

A fluffy black hair piled on the top of the head, with a pair of emerald green...frog eyepatch stuck on it?

The corner of the flying squirrel's mouth twitched, not wanting to comment on this.

The self in the shape of a purple sausage mohawk doesn't seem to have much say.

"You're welcome, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel, that...what am I trying to say?"

He let out a hache casually, and Aokiji rubbed his hair with one hand on his hip, and suddenly realized after a while: "Oh yes... the marshal asked you to go to Alabasta, there has been a bit of unrest recently, and he suspects that there are pirates among them." Make a mess."

"Alabasta? I see."

The flying squirrel's eyes turned cold, and he nodded.

"King Shichibukai" Crocodile's stationing in Alabasta caused an uproar in the Navy. He was one of the group of people who firmly believed that Crocodile had no good intentions.

This is not coming?

"But...why did you come to inform me?"

The flying squirrel asked strangely, does this kind of assignment need a message from the dignified general?

"Oh, what... I was going home to sleep, and I happened to pass by..."

Aokiji rubbed his eyes, and replied nonchalantly.

Flying Squirrel: "..."

Well, this is very Aokiji.

"Speaking of which, I heard you guys discussing Donghai, so what happened?"

With the sensitivity of the general's five senses, it is not surprising to hear flying squirrels across the wall, so he immediately explained the matter.

"Well... it's really tricky!"

Aokiji sat on a chair beside her, her hands resting on her knees and her chin resting on her knees.

One side is the heart of the soldiers, and the other is the face of the government.

It's normal for flying squirrels to be in doubt.

But it would be too troublesome to hand it over to the Warring States Period. That would be coercion with orders, which was obviously not what the two of them wanted to see.

Aokiji insists on the concept of justice that different people have different views on justice, so he is used to seeing the same thing from the perspective of others and comparing his heart to heart.

Or even them themselves: "Navy".

In his eyes, the current justice of the navy is nothing more than justice belonging to the world government.

"What about the official?"

Suddenly, Aokiji asked.

The flying squirrel was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly replied: "It has been secretly recalled."

After all, it is a shameful matter for the government. It cannot be made public, and it is impossible for him to continue to stay in the East China Sea ashamed.

To put it bluntly, including strictly ordering the navy to hunt down Lovett, it is also to prevent the spread of news and cause bad influence.

"Then it would be much simpler, let them together... evaporate from the world!"

Aokiji clapped his hands and looked at the frozen flying squirrel.

"Evaporation" here is definitely not a verb, so Aokiji's idea came to life on paper.

The flying squirrel was extremely stunned, then gave a thumbs up, showing its shiny white teeth.

Ding!

"clear!"
