Chapter 488: The Gate of Justice
The trainees' confidence had taken a hit. Having previously defeated the remnants of the Four Emperors' pirate group and apprehended Whitebeard II, they were somewhat inflated. "Being able to handle pirates like that meant they were pretty good, right? Shouldn't they be training in the New World next time?"
But they didn't expect that a small pirate group would be caught in a tough battle just because of a troublesome ability user. If it weren't for Wendy and Perona's help, they wouldn't know whether this operation could be successful or how many casualties there would be.
This operation finally made them realize that being able to defeat the remnants of the Four Emperors' pirate groups together with the Amber Travel Group did not mean they could do it on their own. They still needed more training and growth.
Zefa said he was quite satisfied. After all, he was a young man. He would become arrogant if he achieved a little success. He would always sober up after suffering a little setback.
I used to think that they had been constantly attacked by the Amber Travel Group during their training sessions, so they shouldn't get carried away. But I didn't expect these unlucky guys to actually get used to it.
It went from being invincible to being invincible as long as I don’t meet the Amber Tour Group.
Now that they have finally been awakened by a group of pirates, Zefa is thinking that the next teaching plan can be carried out as planned, and he should take this opportunity to increase their training volume.
…
The Navy and the Amber Tour Group stayed in the Kingdom of Brujoa for a total of seven days. In addition to Amigo, they also captured a small and unknown pirate group, and then decided to return.
The old king was a little disappointed. His beloved son did not suffer a second beating during these seven days. However, thanks to Zhang Daye, Cavendish had not gone out these days, which made the old king feel a little relieved.
"Are we going back now?" Perona was always rushed to participate in navy operations with Vivi these days, and she didn't get to go out and have fun this time.
Wendy was much the same, having spent the last two days focusing on practicing a single spell, but she hadn't complained. She'd already covered quite a bit while gathering intelligence, and it was a pretty interesting experience for her.
"I should say I'm finally going back." Zhang Da also sighed, "Although I earned 200 million yuan in vain, this is probably the worst travel experience ."
"Hehehe~" Perona wanted to laugh when she mentioned this, "You deserve it. Who told you to do that to someone else's prince?"
"Don't be so ambiguous. He was the one who started it. If they knew that the prince they admired had another face, who knows what would happen."
Zhang Da also felt that no one would believe this if he told others about it. He had been here for seven days and had not heard of any bizarre murder cases. Cavendish's second personality might not have appeared yet.
According to the plot, the symptoms appeared after he was driven out of the Kingdom of Brujoie, and he began to commit large-scale murders when he arrived in the Kingdom of Rommel.
Because it kills people extremely quickly, like a whirlwind, it is called Rommel's sickle-weasel.
Zhang Da couldn't do anything about this matter for the time being. He couldn't use the "future" to convict others. He could only remind Zefa and ask the navy to pay more attention to this psychopathic young man who might kill people in his dreams.
There were no more accidents on the way back, but it was a bit boring. Zhang Da would occasionally take people to the warship to play, such as finding someone to play a thrilling game of flying chess, or play cards or something.
Ordinary play is not allowed, but if the loser is punished to do 200 push-ups, Zefa will not care.
Of course, Wendy would not be among those who went on the warship.
…
This kind of life lasted for six days. During this period, they encountered a tornado, but they successfully avoided it with Wendy's advance warning and then returned to the Navy Headquarters smoothly.
However, this time Zefa did not announce the disbandment, but instead said hello to Zhan Guo and then passed by without even entering. The warship turned around and headed for the Gate of Justice near the headquarters.
"We've captured quite a few prisoners this time. Marshal Zhan... asked us to take this opportunity to carry out an escort mission."
Although Zephyr was used to calling Sengoku by his name, he was not as casual as Garp and still called him Marshal in front of the students: "Next, we will pass through the Gate of Justice and take the triangular current to send the pirates to Judicial Island for trial. After the charges are confirmed, we will send them to Impel Down."
"Enforcement Island and Impel Down? Two major institutions alongside the headquarters!"
"It's the legendary Never-Sleeping Island, and the Deep Sea Prison where no one... uh, only one person has escaped in hundreds of years!"
"Do we have a chance to go to those two places?"
The Marines were a little excited, obviously they had never been there before.
"Don't get carried away. Those two places are not good places to go." Zefa certainly knew where they were. "And before going there, you have to be able to catch the triangular current."
The Naval Headquarters is on the west side of the Red Earth Continent, Judicial Island is to the west of the Naval Headquarters, and Impel Down is built in the doldrums to the south of the two. The three form a triangle and each has a Gate of Justice. The so-called triangular current is actually a large whirlpool located in the middle of this triangle.
When the Gate of Justice is open, the vortex is affected to a certain extent, allowing ships caught in the vortex to follow the current and escape from the location where the Gate of Justice is open. However, if the Gate of Justice is not open, ships entering the vortex will be trapped in circles or even be sucked into the center of the vortex and sink.
Therefore, if the navy controls the Gate of Justice, it can "monopolize" this useful ocean current, shortening the sailing time that originally took two or three days to about half an hour, significantly improving efficiency.
The fast speed means that the current in the whirlpool is very strong. People with poor navigation skills will die if they go in, and ships of poor quality will not be able to withstand it at all. That's why Zefa reminded the students to be alert.
By the way, I also asked Zhang Daye for his opinion and asked them if they wanted to go with me.
"Of course we have to go. The opportunity to visit these two places is a rare opportunity." Faced with the expectant eyes of his companions, Zhang Da naturally said nothing.
Anyway, their ships are good enough and their sailing skills are impeccable.
"Okay, then, let's get ready to go." Zefa picked up the Den Den Mushi and contacted the control room, asking them to open the Gate of Justice, and then notified the people on Judicial Island to get ready.
The Gate of Justice was enormous, its height far exceeding that of the Naval Headquarters and its thickness exceeding the length of a warship. Zhang Da couldn't tell what material it was made of. He was very curious about how it was built and how it stood up, and how much power was needed to open such a heavy gate.
The Gate of Justice, with the World Government logo painted on it, slowly opened from the middle. When a gap appeared, the ocean current had already begun to change. As the gap grew larger, the nearby warships and the Amber were pulled into the gate.
