Upon entering port, Captain McCree decisively chose a "small assault ship." What he needed now was undoubtedly speed. This small, fast assault ship was perfect. Large capital ships would only become targets. Their primary objective now was to escape.
Kyle had no choice but to step aside and let the pirates board the ship. However, one ship was clearly not enough for these pirates... as there were still about 200 men left.
A "small assault ship" can only carry fifty or sixty people, and they need four ships to go to sea.
Faced with the pirates' increasingly aggressive demands, Colonel Cale gritted his teeth, but he had no choice but to agree. However, he had a condition: he had to leave the prisoners of the Kingdom of Vicot.
"I'm not stupid. If I hand them over to you now, won't I be surrounded by your warships immediately?"
Captain Mike scoffed at Colonel Kyle's request.
"Then we can't let you leave like this."
The colonel gritted his teeth and this time did not continue to run away.
He was already desperate, so what was the point of letting these pirates bring their prisoners onto the ship? What was the purpose of "escorting" them here? Who knows what these pirates would do once they were on board? What if you killed them all?
Captain Mike coughed twice, then looked at me and asked, "Are you protecting me with a white umbrella?"
He also saw that continuing to persecute these naval personnel was too dangerous and could easily undermine the current positive situation.
If they truly don't care about the life or death of the prisoner and want to use him as a fish in a net, then they must compensate for the loss.
“I entrust these elderly and frail women and children to you, but I must take this old man and his 4.9-year-old heir with me. When we are at a safe distance, I will put them on the small boat.”
Captain Mike said impatiently that these were the conditions he could accept. The King and the Prince were his saviors, and he couldn't hand over either to the King. The Prince could be reborn, the Prince could relinquish power, and the King could die. He needed to possess both identities to be safe.
"very good."
Colonel Carr will be very happy this time.
He knew why he was doing this. He really didn't intend to fight to the death; he could save one person first.
Soon, the prisoner handover was completed, and the elderly women and children were sent back to the navy.
They cried with joy, their expressions blank.
Chapter 0373 The Town Outside
Of course, there were also a few children of mothers who had been detained by pirates, so not everyone was so happy.
The king's adult sons were all killed, leaving only his four youngest sons.
At this moment, along with him in detention, was a clear indication of fear on his face.
"Colonel Kyle! Colonel Keller! Help! Aren't you a sailor?! Why have you abandoned us?!" The old king of the Kingdom of Akote seemed to have lost his mind.
Seeing that he and his four youngest sons were the only prisoners left, he immediately fell into despair.
However, his shouting stopped abruptly after Captain McCree slapped him, and Old Wang's expression darkened.
"sail"
Captain McCree relaxed after bringing the prisoners aboard. What happened to this ship?
"Keep an eye on these guys, don't let them die. I have to get my wounds healed. What an idiot."
No matter what you do.
After the four "small assault ships" left the port, Captain McCree completely relaxed.
He first berated his only three officials, and then handed over the old king and his four sons to him.
He needs to treat his wound quickly.
"Idiot, the connection should have been disconnected."
Captain McCree felt very uncomfortable as he watched blood seep through the bandages on his upper body.
To make matters worse, his ship's medic was killed in battle, and now he has to treat his wounds himself.
Captain Mike McLachlan found the "Little Commando" captain's cabin.
I thought this was the most luxurious room on the whole ship, so I chose this room.
"key"
The door to the captain's cabin opened, and Captain McCree walked in.
"Shh, don't move."
Baili Xiao opened his mouth and laughed somewhat wildly.
He didn't expect that his impromptu performance would actually work, and that he wouldn't die because of his thick skin.
He decisively infiltrated the "small assault ship" and chose the one closest to the port.
Once inside the ship, he immediately hid under the bed in the captain's cabin.
The pirates didn't check before boarding, so the inspection failed.
Clearly, they hadn't expected the fearless navy to be secretly hiding on the ship.
As a result, the fearless Baili Xiao pointed his CZ-75 pistol at Captain McCree's forehead.
Captain Mike looked like he'd eaten dog shit. He really hadn't expected to end up in the captain's cabin.
I hadn't done any preparation beforehand.
At that moment, he cursed the bastards in charge of inspecting the cabins in his mind.
Bai Lixiao's height and build were definitely not what one would expect from someone who could become invisible. It's just that these pirates really gave him that opportunity.
"Go. The poles have reversed."
Bai Lixiao grabbed Captain McCley by the neck, pressed the "CZ-75 pistol" to his temple, and dragged him back to the deck of the "small assault ship." They quickly became the focus of attention.
When the pirates saw Baili Xiao carrying Captain McCree out, they were dumbfounded and wondered if they were hallucinating.
The remaining three officers of the pirate crew were blowing on Old Wang and his four sons.
Seeing this behind-the-scenes scene, the three of them felt extremely embarrassed.
"Turn back now."
Baili Xiao asked with a smile, but the smile vanished the next second.
"impossible!"
The three cadres exchanged glances and spoke in unison.
At this moment, Baili Xiao felt that Captain McCley's body had stopped beating, and he must have been feeling very complicated.
There is no blood relation between Wild Chicken High School and Nami.
The amateur high school helped the infant Nami amidst the ruins, carrying her on their backs with their weakened bodies to the Navy's aid station in the city.
This courage, kindness, and resilience are embodied in a two-year-old girl.
"This 85-year-old girl is so brave, protecting this little baby in the chaos. She's so young. Two poor children, their family was killed by pirates. How will she live now?"
Belmir looked disappointed. After learning about the story of the amateur high school and Nami, she was deeply moved and began to worry about the future of the two children.
Her inner sympathy and empathy constantly caused her trouble and problems.
"If you like them so much, then adopt them. These children were given to the World Government's aid organization, but they ended up being adopted by someone."
Baili Xiao gave a cautious hint.
Belmir is not seriously injured, but is on the verge of death. Naval Ship No. 16 has suffered severe damage, but it has not yet collapsed.
In this situation, whether Belmir would choose to adopt Nami and Wild Chicken is entirely unknown.
"But... I'm in the Navy, so I don't have time to take care of them after I adopted them."
Bell 483 Mill is embarrassed. She's obviously retired on the spot and no longer wants to grow orange trees or raise children.
Billy took a deep breath to calm his mind.
So far, the biggest change he has brought to the One Piece world seems to be about to happen.
To be honest, Bai Lixiao found it hard to imagine that Nami hadn't been called to Bell Zhao Ying's question about whether Lai Nan wanted to dive down and cook. The white seal of the embankment, the young master's cooking, the slanted cooking fan, the bright sesame bucket, how could it feed the machine?
"Perhaps... we could take them back to the precinct?"
Bai Lixiao's mind raced, and suddenly this idea popped into his head. Belmir didn't want to retire. So why not bring Wild High School and Nami back to the Marine Corps branch together?
"Eh"
Bellemere looked at Baili Xiao in surprise.
"That's a Marine Corps branch. How can you support two teenage girls? Are you stupid, Baili Xiao? Colonel Kyle doesn't agree."
Bellemere shook her head somewhat helplessly. She felt that Baili Xiao's idea was really unreliable.
She never asked whose child was taken to the precinct. At most, they were taken to a small town outside the precinct.
Chapter 0374 Serious Matters
It's relatively close to town. When he's not busy, the navy officer can often go home to see his wife and children.
But importantly, she doesn't have a wife!
If these two children stay in town, who will take care of them?
Bellemere can understand Kogoro and Nami because she faced similar situations from a young age.
Her parents were killed by pirates, leaving her without anyone to care for her as a child. This is why she became a demon in Cocoyasi Village when she was young.
Having lacked paternal and maternal love since childhood, she did not want her two children to follow the same path they had already trod.
Belmir believed Vivian should understand this as well, because Vivian had done the same thing when she was a child.
"If you want, I don't think it's impossible."
Baili Xiao stared at Belmir.
He wanted to confirm the other person's thoughts. If Bellemere really wanted to adopt Nami and Wild Chicken Gao, he would do everything in his power.
Of course, things would be different if Belmir didn't have that thought. Would Nami and the pheasant be happier in their new life?
After all, during the argument with Belmir, Nami said, "Why not be adopted by a rich family?" Belmir provided his two children with very poor living conditions.
Nami, in particular, always picks up secondhand clothes from Sawmill High School.
Of course, spiritual "wealth" is invaluable.
