Pirate: The Wandering Swordsman

Chapter 46 Arriving at the City of Water

"The capital of water is ahead!"

After two days of sailing, Roy and others finally arrived at the water capital from Corvia Island.

From the first time they felt the free air to now, they have calmed down and stared at the same sea for so long. Although the time is not long, it is already boring.

Go to sea.

Not only for the boundless sea, but also for the uniqueness of each island.

The City of Water is such a unique place.

The waterways here are complicated. In addition to the transportation on the flat surface, there are also waterways extending down from the heights of the water capital, which is one of the wonders given by the sea.

At the same time, there is also a famous sea train in the city of water, which was made by Tom, the world's first shipbuilder who once helped the pirate king Gol D. Roger to make a pirate ship.Unfortunately, Tom was later executed for the crime of building a ship for One Piece.

"What a beautiful city."

Roy sighed with emotion, and then said: "Let's go, the local navy has been notified and is waiting for us at the port."

With that said, the small warship slowly approached the shore, and the ships in the port gave way one after another.

Roy and others are not surprised either.

The navy has a very high prestige in this world. Except for those lawless pirates who don't pay attention to the navy, everyone else, whether they are islanders on various islands or bounty hunters wandering in the sea, have a kind of heart for the navy. respect.

Generally speaking, such respect is manifested in the principle of "warships go first".That is to say, when a warship docks, all ships in the same boat will voluntarily give way.

bow.

Roy and the others were dressed in navy uniforms, and nodded their thanks to the helmsman on the side of the avoiding ship, and then Kebi and Bellumebo quickly berthed.

A group of people disembarked and met with the navy of the water capital.

"Lieutenant Colonel Roy, hello, this is Peters."

This person is a major.

"Are you the chief of the garrison navy of the water capital?"

Roy raised his eyebrows, looked around, and was quite surprised to find no one with a higher rank than him.

A major, on an island as big as the capital of water, the officer stationed in the navy is actually only a major?
This is very unreasonable.

"Strictly speaking, although I am the garrison navy of the Water City, I am not in charge of it. The Water City has its own mayor, and his name is Ace Bagu. You can also call him Iceberg. Iceberg is very popular. The islanders love it, so the Navy doesn't need to send extra manpower to manage it."

Peters knew what he was wondering, and explained: "At the same time, due to the short distance between Judicial Island and Water Capital, the garrison navy in Water Capital is not fixed. It adopts a shift system. Every other month, Judicial Island sends people to Rotate at a fixed time."

"I see."

Roy nodded, and the group entered the city.

"Lieutenant Colonel Roy, you came to Water City because of Lieutenant General Garp's order?"

asked Peters.

"Yes, we are here for the Straw Hat Pirates."

Bartolomeo spoke first, and couldn't wait to say: "Before we set off, we received news that the Straw Hats are on their way to the water capital. If there is no mistake, they should have arrived in the water capital by now. Major Peters, you know their location?"

"The Straw Hats?"

Peters and his subordinates looked at each other, a bit embarrassed: "This..."

"It seems that you have information, please be sure to share it with us."

Roy raised his eyebrows, seeing the hesitation of Peters and the others.

Seeing that Peters and the others were still hesitating, he saluted before saying: "Major Peters, we were ordered to arrest the Straw Hats, and this order came from Lieutenant General Garp! You also know that Lieutenant General Garp is not easy to talk to."

Gudong!

Peters swallowed, feeling a little helpless.

He doesn't know if Garp is good at talking, but he knows... Garp is not easy to mess with.

The title of naval hero is not for nothing!

He has traveled across the sea for decades, and he was named a naval hero before he knew how many years ago.In the era of Gol D. Roger, Garp was still a kid who loved to play with mud when he fought wits and courage with those monster-level pirates and drove One Piece around.

The group stopped, and Roy and others looked at Peters.

"Ok."

Peters was helpless, and finally opened his mouth, saying: "The day before yesterday, when the straw hat gang just arrived in the water capital, they committed a major crime in the water capital, and are now being wanted."

"Major case?"

Kirby was taken aback: "What did they do?"

Peters said: "A member of the Straw Hat Pirates, Nicole Robin, known as the 'Son of the Devil', went crazy the day before yesterday and committed the act of assassinating the mayor of the city of water, Ace Bagu, Ace Bagu Kou got hurt because of it. Now everyone in Water City hates the Straw Hats. As far as I know, all the islanders and all the shipwrights are hunting down the Straw Hats."

"Assassinate the mayor of the city of water?"

Bartolomeo was stunned. Although he hated the Straw Hats, he didn't expect them to be so courageous.

Assassinating the mayor, isn't this provoking all the islanders of the water capital and provoking the navy at the same time?

"and after?"

Roy's face was calm, as if he had expected it, and continued to ask.

"On the second night after the assassination, they sneaked into Es Bagu's mansion again, and seemed to have a conflict with someone. There, a fierce battle took place."

Peters was vague, and said: "According to the news I received, they were preparing to sail last night, and I don't know where they are going."

"is it?"

Roy responded irrefutably, and said to Peters: "We won't go back to the naval station with you, and we will find you again if necessary."

"Yes."

Peters knew that Roy was very dissatisfied with his performance, but he could only nod reluctantly.

Not to mention that Roy's military rank is higher than his, he has no way to order Roy.

To be honest, even if his military rank was higher than Roy's, he didn't dare to give Roy any orders.

After all, Roy and others are from Marlin Vandor, they are the confidantes of Lieutenant General Garp, and they are under the command of the naval hero.

And he, a mere major, what impact would he have on Garp's love?
After speaking, Peters left with his people wisely.

Roy and others watched them go away.

Kebi and Beru Meber looked at each other and looked at Roy.

Kirby said: "I think Major Peters has concealed a lot of things."

"There must be some special circumstances." Roy nodded. "In this case, we will temporarily disperse, collect information separately, and gather at the warship in the port two hours later."

"it is good."

The remaining three followed Roy's arrangement and dispersed.

Roy thought for a while, and asked a passerby for a place.

When passers-by heard the question, they didn't want to answer Roy, but when they saw Roy's navy uniform, they changed their attention.

"Master Navy, you must help Mayor Bingshan catch the murderer!"

"I will."

With a flash, Roy hurried towards the direction pointed by passers-by.

The place he is going to is Bingshan, the mayor of the city of water, which is also the hospital where Ace Bagu was injured.
