Chapter 1 Adventure with Bell

In 1492 of the Haiyuan calendar, Beihai.

In the waters of Greenland, a naval destroyer is breaking the waves.

In the distance, billowing white waves rolled in from the sky, and the layers of waves approached from far away, like thousands of troops galloping with a thunderous bang, hitting the bow of the warship, smashing into pieces silver.

The water waves behind the warship surged extremely fast, chasing after the warship, splashed in all directions, a figure jumped out of the water and landed on the side deck of the ship.

This is a young man, nearly three meters tall, with a tall and straight figure, short brown hair, dripping wet with drops of water, a soft face, with a slight curvature at the corner of his mouth, as if smiling all the time, amber In the dark eyes, there is a trace of gentleness and free and easy temperament.

Put down the fishing net in your hand and pour the prey inside into a water tank on the deck.He took the towel handed over by the guard next to him, wiped his body casually, put on the navy uniform next to him, and carried the water tank. The boy walked across the deck and came to the captain's cabin at the end of the upper deck, knocked on the door, and then Push the door and enter.

The captain's cabin is very grandly decorated, with the windows facing south, it looks quite bright.The black leather chairs and the mahogany desk occupy a large space, decorated with several bonsai plants on the table, a huge military map is hung on the wall behind it, and the mahogany bookcase beside it displays beautifully bound books.

There is a huge ornamental fish tank inlaid against the wall on the right, in which there are several tropical fish and a half-meter-long, crimson tortoiseshell swimming slowly in the water.

There are two comfortable leather sofas and a marble coffee table on the left side against the wall, and there are exquisite tea sets on the coffee table.

Standing in front of the fish tank was a middle-aged man wearing a navy lieutenant colonel uniform, slightly shorter than the boy, and a muscular build, admiring the scenery inside the tank intently.

The middle-aged man was the highest officer on this patrol ship, Lieutenant Colonel Sweet Bell.

Walked to Bell and handed over the water tank in his hand.

"Sir, a large group of man-of-war jellyfish is migrating to the rear, and there may be a storm ahead."

After taking the water tank and looking down, Bell showed joy.

"Good luck, Milo's favorite. This kind of deep sea jellyfish is getting harder and harder to catch."

The boy raised his eyebrows, and Bell said without turning his head: "Ordinary storms do not pose a threat to our warship. I recently received a pack of good cigarettes, and they are in the drawer. Go get them yourself."

Hearing this, the young man's eyes lit up, his face brightened with joy, he walked to the desk, opened the lower right drawer, and took out a wooden box made of mahogany from it.

Open the wooden box, and there are 10 coffee-like dark brown, 6-inch long, torpedo-shaped cigars neatly placed inside.

Picking up a cigar, squeezed it lightly with the thumb and index finger, and brought it to the ear, rubbed it lightly, but did not hear any cracking sound, the boy nodded in satisfaction.

And with a finger like a knife, turn it gently to cut off the cigar head.

From the jacket pocket, he took out a special box of long matches made of cedar wood, and lit them.

Place the cigar 2 cm above the fire and turn it gently to heat it up. After 2 to 3 turns, light the cigar evenly from the edge to the center.

Smelling the faint aroma coming from the tip of his nose, the young man was not in a hurry to smoke. He gently puffed back twice to get rid of the miscellaneous gas inhaled when the cigar was lit, and then took a deep puff of the cigar.

A faint bitterness, mixed with sweet vanilla, impacted the teenager's senses.

The aroma is mellow and full, which makes people feel happy after smelling it.

Slowly inhale the mellow smoke into the mouth, let the aroma of the cigar hover in the mouth, and then slowly exhale.

Not in a hurry to take a second sip, intoxicated by the faint smoke, the boy spoke in an intoxicated tone.

"From the Basulto Kingdom of the West Sea, the Bradley family makes top-quality cigars by hand. Only 1000 boxes of this kind of cigars are produced a year, and they are exclusively for the royal family and nobles. I didn't expect you, sir, to have such a way, a school-level officer. Benefits are good."

As he spoke, he picked up the cigar at hand and took another puff, shaking his head, deeply intoxicated by the mellow aroma of the cigar.

After a long while, the boy, who was addicted to cigarettes, looked up at the lieutenant colonel who was still feeding.I looked again at the hawksbill turtle that was swallowing jellyfish, and two small hawksbill turtles with the same color and the size of a palm that sprang out from nowhere.

He said lightly: "I really don't understand why Milo gave birth to so many little turtles before, why they were all let go, and it would be nice to keep them in soup to drink. This kind of deep-sea turtle is mixed with the juice of the magic leaf and marinated for an hour. , supplemented with the special spices from Yunpan Town, with the meat of the King of the Sea, simmered for 3 hours on a low fire, the stewed soup is delicious and nourishing."

Hearing the young man's words, the lieutenant colonel turned his head, showing a ferocious bearded face, and shouted at the young man, "Go away, I raise turtles, not tortoises. Karna, you kid If you dare to attack Milo and Mimaxing, I will pluck your skin first."

Smiling, Karna waved his hand nonchalantly, sat down on the sofa next to him, picked up the tea on the coffee table, poured a cup, and drank it.

After feeding the pet, Bell went to the desk and sat down, pointed to several reward orders on the tea table, and said to Karna, "Let's take a look at the goal of this trip."

Karna picked it up and looked at it. The reward order on the top showed a fierce man with a scar on his face, the most notorious big pirate in the North Sea, "Blood Knife" Eddie Varun, the Varun Pirates Captain, a devil fruit ability user of the animal department, in the form of oxen fruit and antelope.With powerful combat power and brutal methods, he killed civilians many times and caused many massacres in small towns, so he was offered a reward of 3000 million Baileys.

Then there is the deputy captain of the Warren Pirates, offering a reward of 1500 million, "Waltz" George Senior.

Scrolling down, he didn't see any notable characters, Karna dropped the reward order in his hand, and started smoking his cigar again.

Looking at Karna who was puffing, he shook his head, grabbed the remaining cigars on the table, threw them over, and said angrily: "You are only 14 years old, how can you have such a big addiction to cigarettes. The cigarettes this time, It’s not the stuff from before, it was brought to me by my classmate when I was training in the headquarters, and ordinary lieutenant colonels can’t smoke it. You can save me some cigarettes, if it’s not that I don’t like smoking, how can it be cheaper for you .”

Karna hurriedly took the cigar carefully, put it down gently, and smiled, "Got it."

Then, I saw a middle-aged man who was tall, strong like a cow, and full of beards, took out a bag of senbei from the left drawer, tore open the package, and ate it with relish.

Although it was not the first time he saw this scene, the young Karna still felt a slight twitch in the corner of his eyes.

When Lieutenant Colonel Bell was young, he went to the recruit training camp of the Navy headquarters. The navy hero he admired most was Lieutenant General Garp.Usually, he can imitate Garp in every word and deed. The most outrageous thing is that he has even learned his hobby of eating senbei by [-]%.

"Well, well, do you want some?" The lieutenant colonel asked politely.

"No," Karna replied angrily.

Seeing Lieutenant Colonel Bell eating happily there, Karna couldn't help complaining: "I know you worship Lieutenant General Karp and idol worship, I can understand it completely, but there is no need to imitate personal hobbies, right?"

"You know what a fart, do I eat senbei? I am learning from Lieutenant General Karp, who doesn't take anything to heart."

He casually grabbed a book of sea charts beside him and threw it at Karna, Bell scolded with a smile.

"It's you, you are only 14 years old, you can't leave your cigarette all day long, you look like an old smoker."

"Cigars are the romance of the navy. A navy career without smoking is not perfect."

At this time, the observing soldiers shouted from the watchtower: "A ship is found on the sea ahead."

"Are you here?" Bell cheered up, stood up, put on his military cap, and greeted Karna, "Go out and have a look."Came to the observation room above the head.

Raising his head, his eyes searched in the direction of the observation hand, and sure enough, a black spot appeared on the sea level that should have been empty.

Bell turned around, grabbed the binoculars from the soldier next to him, and looked into the distance.

What came into view was a skeleton flag fluttering in the wind—a skeleton wearing a blood-red pirate hood, and the blood-red steel knives intertwined on both sides below it was the pirate flag logo of the Varen Pirates.

Jumping directly out of the observation room, Bell ordered loudly: "I found the enemy ship and prepared to fight."

"Everyone is ready for battle." Karna's voice sounded right behind the lieutenant colonel.

"Everyone return to their positions, don't mess up, the gunner pulls all the artillery on the right string to the left string, and loads the ammunition."

"The sailor is ready to sail and move on. The helmsman is ready. After entering the range, turn the rudder to the right, turn the hull, and aim the muzzle at the enemy ship." Karna made the pre-battle arrangements in an orderly manner.

Bell glanced at Karna with satisfaction, didn't say much, and let him continue to direct.

He just tightened his navy uniform, took a deep breath, flicked the remaining cigar into the sea, and stared fiercely at the pirate ship in front of him—the big pirate who scared the whole North Sea and offered a reward of 3000 million Baileys, " "Bloody Knife" Eddie Warren's "Scarlet Warren".

Karna was also staring at the ship in front of him, ordering to go down one after another.

"Navigator, report the position of the enemy ship"

"The target is 30 degrees to our starboard side, about 15 nautical miles away."

"Navator, report the wind and sea conditions."

"Wind 20 knots, rising rapidly, wave force 4, wind south-southeast."

"Very well, the observers should pay attention to the enemy ship's personnel and firepower configuration, and report at any time." Karna continued to order.

"Raise the front sail, deflect it to the windward, and keep moving forward at a speed of 20 knots. Pay attention to stringing, the gunner is in position, and non-combatants enter the cabin to avoid."

As the orders were issued accurately one after another, the soldiers on board quickly returned to their respective posts and prepared for battle in an orderly manner.
