Chapter 257 Who cheated me, and who did I cheat?
Lieutenant General Gion told Zhang Tatsuya a good news and a bad news.
The good news is that the Navy Headquarters takes this matter very seriously and plans to rescue civilians from the Golden Lion and re-arrest the great pirate, marking this incident as the beginning of a new era for the Navy.
The troops dispatched this time include at least ten warships, which is no less than a demon-killing order. Admiral Borsalino, the commander-in-chief, has already set off, followed closely by Lieutenant General Kuzan.
The bad news is that Zhang Daye and his team are constantly moving, so no matter how fast the navy is, it will take them until night to arrive.
To be honest, Zhang Da felt that the bad news was nothing, it was just a matter of keeping it secret for a while. But the good news made his heart beat fast.
The reason so many warships were sent here isn't to prevent these islands from falling and hitting innocent people, but to blow them up in advance, right?
Zhang Da was also thinking about selling the news about the Golden Lion directly to the newspaper: "Anyway, we just have to hold on until night without being discovered, right?"
"Yes, please."
"By the way, isn't General Sengoku coming? And what about Vice Admiral Garp?" Zhang Da still felt that Kizaru was somewhat unreliable. He was really afraid that he would say, 'Shiki the Golden Lion, so scary' and then just stand there and do nothing.
"An admiral must stay behind to prevent the Golden Lion from raiding the headquarters. Admiral Borsalino is the fastest, so we decided to send him to provide support." Vice Admiral Gion paused, "Garp-chan... Vice Admiral Garp is on leave to visit his family, so we can't contact him for the time being."
Vice Admiral Gion accidentally brought up Garp's nickname, and then quickly corrected it when she realized it was inappropriate. In addition, she was a little embarrassed to say that the navy hero was on vacation and couldn't respond to emergency missions .
Zhang Da didn't say anything. He might know more about how unreliable Garp was than Vice Admiral Gion. This was just a small matter.
Vice Admiral Gion thought that Zhang Da was also worried about the navy's combat power: "Don't worry, although Kuzan is only a vice admiral now, his strength is not worse than that of an admiral."
"I'm not worried about that." It shouldn't be a problem for Aokiji and Kizaru to take down a golden lion that has lost both legs and has a ship's rudder stuck on its head, but this is not his main purpose for looking for the navy. "The key question is, have you figured out how to deal with these dozen islands and the residents on them?"
"Of course, Sister Tsuru and General Sengoku have already drawn up three plans, and they will choose the most suitable one according to the situation." Lieutenant General Gion said, "You just need to stay hidden."
"Then I'll leave it to you." Zhang Da didn't hang up the Den Den Mushi and said to his companions, "Okay, stay hidden. Do the flag monsters have any new information?"
Ye Yan said: "Yes, first of all, on our island, the Golden Lion exploration team is slowly going deeper and has captured more than a dozen animals.
Then came the largest island, which was definitely the base camp of the Golden Lion. Ma Laowu was just about to sneak in to check out the situation, so I asked him to come back and let the more professional Sui Feng Er go in.
As for the other islands, their terrain and environment are different. The only thing they have in common is that they all have many ferocious beasts. There is even a scorpion as big as a house. I don’t know whether it should be considered a ferocious beast or an insect. ”
"Why does the Golden Lion collect so many ferocious beasts?" asked Lieutenant General Gion in confusion.
Zhang Da couldn't directly reveal the Golden Lion's plan to the navy. If he really wanted to tell them, he would at least pretend to investigate it:
"Anyway, it won't be a good thing. Now we can be sure that he moved this Crown Island for the rare beasts here. Maybe he wants to form a Hundred Beasts Pirates."
Vice Admiral Gion ignored the words about the Beasts Pirates and reported the matter of the beasts.
"Is there anything else I can do?" Zeole wanted to do something for the animals.
Zhang Da also advised: "If you are bored, you can play cards or chess with everyone. If you are hungry, you can eat whatever is here. It is a great help if you don't cause trouble at a time like this. Look how happy Tom is having fun."
Tom put on his chef's hat and apron, prepared the ingredients, and was about to make a dish of baked snails in soup.
Zhang Da also glanced at the ingredients and asked, "Where did you catch such a big snail?"
Tom pointed above his head, indicating that the snail had crawled onto the camouflage cloth by itself. He curiously went out to take a look and caught it.
"I'm lucky to catch something this big..." Zhang Da also saw the true face of the 'ingredient' this time, "Isn't this a Den Den Mushi?"
"Den Den Mushi!?" *8
Except for Tom and Altria, everyone exclaimed in surprise, even Vice Admiral Gion on the other end of the phone.
Vice Admiral Gion said in disbelief: "Don't tell me you have captured the surveillance Den Den Mushi of Golden Lion?!"
"It's okay, don't panic. It hasn't hatched yet, which means it's not working. The most they saw was a cat catching a Den Den Mushi."
Zhang Da also knocked on the shell of the Den Den Mushi and felt that the problem was not yet at its worst. It was reasonable for Den Den Mushi to be caught by animals as prey, right?
But at this moment, the Den Den Mushi suddenly poked its head out, looked at Zhang Daye's right hand that was knocking on the shell, and then looked at him with its two big eyes.
"Hammer for the moment!" Ye Yan hit the Den Den Mushi on the back of its head with a hammer. The Den Den Mushi closed its eyes and drooped its head limply, without retracting into its shell.
But no one was happy. Something that was hidden so well was exposed in such an outrageous way?
Zhang Da also grabbed Tom and shook him back and forth, shaking him out of his eyes: "Tom! Why did you bring this thing in here?"
"What happened again?" asked Lieutenant General Gion. She felt that things were developing in an uncontrollable direction.
"The Den Den Mushi suddenly came out and took a look at me, and I was exposed." Zhang Da also knew that Tom was good at trapping others, trapping enemies, trapping teammates, and sometimes even trapping himself, but he didn't expect that things would happen so suddenly.
"Boss, if you didn't knock on its shell, it might not come out. You can't blame it all on Teacher Tom." Rui Mengmeng said something fair for Tom.
"Oh! It's bad, we're going to be discovered by the Golden Lion!" Perona was so scared that she almost turned pale.
"How terrible! Mr. Tatsuya is so unreliable!" Brook held his cheek and screamed. During this time, he already knew what level of person the Golden Lion was.
"..." Zhang Da was speechless. So, am I a scumbag too? If I had known earlier, I should have let Tom cook it directly.
…
"Master Indigo ! The video transmission Den Den Mushi was interrupted just now. The last picture was this. There are other people on this island!"
Golden Lion had already gone back to his room to rest. Small matters like exploring new islands and capturing animals for experiments were naturally handled by his men, so there was no need for him to keep an eye on them.
"Is it someone who happened to be on this island when Master Shiki activated his ability?" Indigo looked at Zhang Tatsuya's face, which looked very large because it was too close to the camera:
"Order the exploration team to capture him immediately. We are not ready yet, and we cannot let anyone pass on the news!"
