71: Chapter 70: A Navy Captain's Signal for Help? Gaspard, the Rebel Navy Commander!The sky is clear and the air is fresh, and the breeze is gentle.
The Golden Merry is sailing on the sea, heading towards its next stop - Gaya Island.
After temporarily rejecting the invitation to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Straw Hat Adventurers each began their own training.
The Straw Hat Adventurers occasionally engage in daily bickering, and sailing on the endless sea can be somewhat boring.
Usopp prepared his ammunition depot and went to Merry to go fishing.After a long period of no catch, he felt a little depressed: "Ahhhh!How long will it take to reach Gaya Island!"
Meili comforted him, "Don't worry.According to Nami's sailing route, weather disasters on the Grand Line won't be a problem.We'll reach our destination soon!"
Now, Luffy is training Haki with seastone handcuffs, Zoro is meditating, Sanji is cleaning the ingredients, Kin is practicing boxing, Nami is drawing a map, Robin and Vivi are reading a book together, and Chopper is making medicine.No one is idle.
Suddenly, the Den Den Mushi in the captain's room received an intermittent signal:
"This is.Tina.nearby.Navy.requesting.support."
Chopper, who was closest to the captain's cabin, was the first to detect the signal:
"Everyone!Come quickly!It seems like someone is calling for help?"
Luffy came over after hearing the noise, listened carefully to the noisy signal, frowned and said:
"It was Tina who sent the signal to the sea?Navy Captain Tina?What happened?"
Navy Captain Tina, a user of the Parahuman "Kankan Fruit," is known as the "Kankan" (Kankan-like) Fruit.She can imprison others by leaving behind iron bars after her arms pierce through their bodies.Furthermore, she excels in naval warfare with her "Black Spear Formation," using iron bars like spears to sink enemy ships.
"Let's go!Let's go to the sea area where the signal comes from and see what's going on." Luffy said decisively.
…
About 10 nautical miles from the Golden Merry, there was a reef-covered island.This small island was mostly made of rock, but on top of it stood a fortress-like building.
At this time, several ships flying pirate flags anchored in the bay near the island were firing at each other with naval ships, but there were only five naval ships and they were clearly at a disadvantage.A huge naval steamer was just watching from the sidelines.
The only difference is that there is a red cross on the naval flag of this steamship, and in the center of this island, several groups of people are confronting each other.
A big man in navy uniform with a face full of flesh grinned:
"Hahahaha!Navy Captain Tina, you underestimate me too much!You will all die here today!Such a beauty, let me enjoy her for a while before I kill you!"
Tina glared at him in dismay:
"Tina.How humiliating!Tina.I will never admit defeat!Gaspard, you're a stain on the Navy.I must apprehend you today!"
"Go!Needles, kill this woman's adjutant and add to the excitement of the upcoming slaughter feast!"
The naval rebel named Gaspardi grinned.
"Damn it!Tina.I can't hold on any longer!Why hasn't the navy's support arrived yet?Headquarters seriously underestimated Gaspard!"
Tina gritted her teeth and held on.
"Hahahaha, woman!You're too weak!I'm a jelly man from the [Jelly Fruit], your [Kankan Fruit] can't hurt me!"
Gaspardi was shouting, and Tina's navy was also retreating step by step.
No sooner said than done, a gunshot was heard from a distance, and Nides, who was attacking Adjutant Tina with a grin, had a bloody hole on his forehead and fell straight down.
"Fatal shot!"
Usopp's sniper arrived, and we heard the sound before we saw the person.
"Who are you?How dare you meddle in the navy's affairs!"
Gaspardi was so shocked and angry that he didn't even realize where the enemy came from, and his capable subordinate fell.
The Merry slowly sailed into the port.Luffy sat at the bow of the Merry, and a voice came from afar:
"Gaspardi, the user of the [Gummy Fruit] ability, stole a warship from the headquarters navy and defected overseas.He then participated in the annual Death Tournament held in Hannabar as the top seed.
Originally a member of the headquarters navy, he stole a warship and defected overseas.Later, while plundering other ports, he discovered the rare steamship "Salamander" and used it as a pirate ship.His flag is the navy emblem with a large cross through it.He is a despicable man known as "the navy's biggest stain." He is a highly sought-after competitor in the annual Death Tournament held in Hannahval.
Luffy didn't expect that he would meet the navy traitor in the movie here, and because of the butterfly effect, Navy Colonel Tina set out to chase Gaspardi, and by accident the Straw Hat Pirates received Tina's distress signal.
The pirates and navy who were fighting fell into silence and stopped what they were doing in shock, not understanding where this uninvited guest came from and who knew all about the navy's stains.
Gaspard pointed his weapon at Luffy who was speaking and asked angrily:
"Who are you?How dare you do such a thing!"
Luffy didn't even look at Gaspardi, but turned to Tina and asked:
"Captain Tina, it was you who sent the distress signal, right?Is Gaspard your target for this mission?What are the requirements of the Navy Headquarters?"
"It's you?The captain of the now-powerful Straw Hat Adventurers!The one who killed Crocodile, one of the former Seven Warlords of the Sea, in public!"
Tina was shocked and didn't understand why this man suddenly appeared and interfered with her mission.
"You.you.the Marine Headquarters has already approved the proposal to nominate you as a Shichibukai, so why are you still."
Tina expressed shock.
Luffy chuckled and said, "Oh, thatAh, the talks with Zhan Guo broke down, so I rejected it for now."
"What?Tina, I'm so surprised!" Tina's mouth was a little dry.
"Okay, let's put the matter of the Seven Warlords aside for now.You look like you're in trouble."
Luffy looked around and gave Zoro a look.Zoro immediately released his domineering aura and accurately knocked out all the pirates who started to make a noise.
"Okay, now that the annoying flies are gone, it's time to get down to business."
Luffy clapped his hands, not caring how the stunned Tina would react.
Gaspardi was half-kneeling on the ground in fear, sweating profusely.Before the captain made a move, he had already determined that this group of people must not be his enemies!
"Wait!Wait!The Navy Headquarters' mission is to bring Gaspard back for trial, dead or alive."
Tina said anxiously as she watched Luffy walk towards Gaspardi.
Luffy turned around and smiled:
"Is that so?We, the Straw Hat Adventurers, are helping your navy apprehend Gaspard.Is that okay with us reporting this?"
Tina said sincerely, "Of course!Thank you for your help!"
Luffy, with his Haki, kicked Gaspard to pieces:
"I'll leave this stain on the navy to you.By the way, there's probably a young man named Xiao Leia nearby who's been seeking revenge on Gaspard.His sister was kidnapped aboard Gaspard's ship.
The brother and sister have been separated for eight years, and their case is also left to you to resolve."
"Yes!Tina, I'm so happy that I can save more people."
Tina bowed to Luffy.
[Gummy Fruit], while not a particularly powerful Devil Fruit, is just a favor to the Marines.If we leave it alone and allow the Marines here to be wiped out, it wouldn't be a good thing.
Luffy and Tina explained this to each other again, and saw that the navy support had arrived in the distance.
Then, Luffy took the Straw Hat Adventure Group away and left without a word after the mission was completed.
