Chapter 260 Jonathan's Question
"If you can clear up my confusion for me." Jonathan looked at Lucci and said, he knew that he had lost this game, but his goal had been achieved, so now he was even more curious about why the Whitebeard Pirates would be with a group of novice pirates, even though the captain of this pirate group had a bounty of 100 million berries.
"It was just an accident." Lucci said honestly. He didn't care whether the navy on the other side believed it or not. "It was just that I personally sailed with them for a period of time. It had nothing to do with Dad."
"They are indeed an interesting group of people." Jonathan admitted. He did admire the abilities displayed by these pirates. More importantly, he knew that they were not a group of cruel pirates. They were stronger than many pirates he had met, but not so ruthless. Their arrival did make life in the base more interesting.
Lucci grinned at him and said, "Not taking action is a wise choice. See you next time, Commander!"
Jonathan looked at Lucci's disappearing figure and muttered, "I don't want my office to be rebuilt. Besides, being visited by Whitebeard is not necessarily a good thing. He doesn't want to experience it again so soon."
……
"crunch"
Robin pushed open the door and smiled at the map in her hand. This was the only thing she had seen in the archives room during this period that could help them escape.
"Wait a moment, Mr. Prosecutor, where are you going?"
Robin turned and looked coldly at the Marine who was pointing a gun at her, and said in a low voice, "I don't think I am obligated to report to you."
the Marine demanded, as three more Marines appeared behind Robin, pointing their guns at her.
"Really? Then tell your commander." Robin said, crossing his arms. "Just say, 'I had a lot of fun.'"
"Crack" four navy men fell to the ground instantly.
"It seems you don't need help."
Robin turned his head to look in the direction of the sound and smiled slightly, "You're late."
"Really? I think that's just right." Lucci said with a smile, then looked at Robin's navy jacket and reminded, "Luffy and the others have successfully taken the ship."
"What a reliable partner!" Robin said with a smile, and then took off his navy jacket. "Then there is no point in this disguise."
Robin walked towards Lucci and handed him the map in his hand. "The structural diagram of this fortress."
"Not bad!" Lucci praised as he took the blueprint from Robin, "We can leave this fortress faster."
……
"Why do you have to go to such a remote place?" Zoro complained as he looked at the reefs that appeared from time to time on the water. He couldn't quite understand why Nami had to go to such a place with so many reefs.
"If we go in the middle, we will be attacked from both sides by the cannons." Nami explained while observing the position of the warships behind her, "If we go this way, we only need to deal with one side."
"This is where?"
"You're awake!"
"When did you get on Merry?" Usopp asked in confusion.
After Luffy's explanation, Usopp also understood what happened. "So that's how it is. Taking Nami as a hostage is a good idea!"
"We are out, but without a map or sea chart, how are we going to get out?" Nami complained, "So we should at least investigate thoroughly before running away, what a bunch of idiots!"
"Oh! It's Ms. Robin~" Sanji looked at Robin who was swinging over with the power of the fruit and shouted excitedly, completely ignoring Lucci behind him. "So cool, Ms. Robin~"
"The warships are catching up." Lucci landed on the deck and cut off the shells fired at them, causing them to explode on both sides of the ship.
"Hey! Lucci!" Luffy waved at Lucci excitedly, and then announced loudly, "Great, everyone is here! Go ahead!! Leave the fortress!!"
"Drive to the right, the exit of the fortress is over there!" Lucci said with a smile, then walked towards Nami, unfolded the blueprint, pointed to the port location and said to Nami, "There is only one entrance and exit."
Looking at the cannons on the stone wall that kept firing at them, Usopp quickly ran towards the warehouse where the shells and gunpowder boxes were stored. He planned to fight back and let the navy see how powerful the great sniper was!
"Damn it, all the shells on our ship have been taken away!" Usopp shouted angrily after checking the warehouse and finding that there were no shells at all. He didn't expect that everything in their warehouse had been taken away by the navy.
"It's okay, Usopp, go help Chopper steer the ship!" Qi said from the observation deck. Although there was no counterattack, Luffy and Zoro were still able to deal with the shells fired continuously by the navy. Most of the shells were bounced aside by Luffy using rubber balloons, or were solved by Zoro and Sanji's slashes or kicks.
"If there is only the entrance and exit, we can only force our way through." Nami didn't pay much attention to Usopp's words, but took the map from Lucci and looked at it carefully. Nami noticed that the port on the sea chart was completely built on an inland sea. She suddenly felt a little strange and wondered, "This place is obviously not suitable for building a port, right?"
"This is one of the reasons why this fortress is called the Iron Wall. They call it the 'Fang of the Sea of Nabaron.' The tide will ebb at the fortress port at 9 o'clock in the evening, which means that if we leave the port at that time, the ship will be stranded, so we have to leave here before 9 o'clock." Lucci explained.
Robin grabbed the railing under her hands and steadied herself. When she heard Lucci's words, she suddenly remembered the strange information she saw in the data room. She immediately understood, "No wonder there were no ships entering or leaving the port during a certain period of time. It seems that this is the reason."
"Nami! The entrance and exit of the fortress should be in front of us!" Qi stood on the observation deck and reminded Nami who was discussing with Lucci below.
"I understand." Hearing Qi's reminder, Nami put away the nautical chart in her hand, and then shouted to Usopp and Chopper, "Usopp, go to the bow and prepare the shells, Chopper, listen to my instructions!"
"Understood!" Chopper held the rudder and was ready at any time.
Hearing Nami's words, Usopp hurried out to remind her, "Nami! We don't have a single shell left on the ship!"
"What!? Not a single shell left!?" Nami shouted in shock.
"Yeah! Not to mention the shells, there's not even a single gunpowder box left!" Usopp said angrily, "These navy men have emptied our ship!"
"Then how are we going to break through the navy's gate?!" Nami shouted in shock, then realized something and hurriedly ran towards the warehouse.
Luffy, who was flicking the shells aside, grinned when he heard Nami's words. He thought of a good idea, "Hehe, I have a good idea!"
"Huh?" Lucci looked at Luffy in confusion. At the same time, Zoro and Sanji also noticed Luffy's actions and stopped firing the shells.
Luffy jumped into the air, inhaled to expand his stomach, caught all the dozen or so shells fired by the navy, and shot them all towards the sea gate opposite.
