Great Onmyoji of Pirates

The sky was dimming, and the Akainu Army, which had been traveling all night, finally arrived at the small town north of the royal capital on the map.

After cautiously entering the city.

The Akainu Army who rushed to this small town found nothing, whether it was people or other things, this was an empty city.

According to the reports of the searching navy soldiers, the people here seemed to leave in a leisurely and orderly manner, and did not seem to be under coercion or simply fleeing.

The tableware in the room was neatly stacked in the kitchen, but there was no food in the kitchen. It seemed that everything had been taken away. The navy soldiers did not find a well in the city, so it was probably buried in a landfill.

"Go back!" Without finding any trace of the enemy, Akainu felt that the enemy was playing hide and seek with him, but this made Akainu even more convinced that these rebels did not dare to confront his troops head-on.

It was still dark when we first landed, but now the sun has risen from the east. The naval soldiers who were shivering in the cold wind at night are gradually straightening up, and the temperature is gradually getting warmer.

Following Akainu's order, the troops began to move towards the landing place. The soldiers needed rest, food and water, and the things they carried on their backs were basically exhausted.

At noon, the scorching sun in the desert gave off dazzling light and scorching heat. Many navy soldiers unscrewed their water bottles and put them back dejectedly. They had already finished drinking the water.

Ghost Spider walked up to Akainu and said, "Admiral, this won't work. I'm afraid many people will be dehydrated before they reach the shore."

Akainu did not answer Ghost Spider's words, and he had no solution to the problem of water shortage. What worried him now was other problems.

"Can't the phone bug still contact the warship?"

Since last night, the phone bugs in Akainu's unit have lost their function, and they have lost contact with the people on the warship and the shore.

Ghost Spider shook his head, his helpless expression said it all.

"The problem is serious. We may not be able to get supplies even when we reach the shore." Akainu finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Tell everyone to cheer up. There will be water and food when we get to the shore." Akainu ordered to Ghost Spider.

"But isn't this cheating? When we reach the shore without water and food, our morale will be severely damaged." Ghost Spider asked in confusion.

After Ghost Spider finished speaking, he looked up and saw Akainu's gradually turning red face. He immediately realized his mistake. He should not question the commander's order.

"Yes!" Ghost Spider replied neatly and then turned to inform the lieutenant in the middle of the team.

After walking for another three hours, it was already afternoon. The entire army was sleepy, hungry and thirsty. Akainu was the same. He looked at the scorched black and damaged landing craft in front of him, and then looked up at the sun that was already emitting heat. The dog felt waves of blackness in front of his eyes. He had indeed made a serious mistake. Alabasta was different from those small islands. The land had enough depth for the rebels to hide. Large troops should not act blindly. Small groups of troops should be sent out to search carefully.

Looking at the staggering naval soldier in front of him, Akainu opened his mouth and sighed. At this moment, Lieutenant General Ghost Spider walked quickly behind Akainu and shouted: "Admiral, good news, the warship is not far away. Once we find a place to dock, we can transport supplies to the shore without the need for a landing craft.”

Akainu couldn't believe his ears, what?Not only did they re-establish contact with the warship, but they also found a place where they could dock without a landing craft?

Although Akainu believed that it was impossible for a few rebels to lose the warship, Akainu still couldn't believe the sudden good news.

"Is the news true?" Akainu confirmed to Ghost Spider

Ghost Spider couldn't help but feel happy all over his face and said to Akainu: "I can still hear the voice of Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel."

"Yeah" Akainu nodded.

"What about the specific location?" Akainu asked.

Ghost Spider's hand rubbed on the map, and finally stopped at a place that was sunken into the map and looked like a natural harbor.

"It's about fifty kilometers away. It'll probably be midnight by the time we get there."

"Let's go, the sooner we get there, the better."

However, the time on the road exceeded Akainu and Ghost Spider's expectations. Many soldiers had already been dehydrated, and the continuous time on the road had already exceeded 24 hours. Despite the rigorous training these naval soldiers had received, they did not A project of traveling in the desert for 24 hours without eating or drinking.

Not to mention these soldiers, even Akainu felt that his lips were dry and his throat was filled with smoke. I don't know why at this time Akainu suddenly wanted to exchange his fruit with Aokiji.

Akainu raised his hand and imagined that he was an ice fruit user. What appeared in his palm was a large lump of ice, which was cold and quenched his thirst. However, when Akainu really put his face up to it, he realized that what he held in his palm was a ball of lava. , almost burning his collar.

The fruits painted for the soldiers have already failed once. If something goes wrong when they arrive at that harbor, their soldiers will definitely lose their combat effectiveness.

It was getting light again, but Akainu arrived at the place and found something was wrong. According to the Flying Squirrel in the phone bug, this harbor should have shoals, trees, and streams, but Akainu who was standing at a high place could see it. There is only sand, rocks, and the sea.

"Didn't Flying Squirrel say that the supplies have been placed on the shore? Did something go wrong again?" Akainu couldn't bear it anymore. Ever since he came to Alabasta, he felt like he was being led around, and nothing happened. Things are going well.

"Don't worry, General, I'll ask again." Ghost Spider's throat was also thirsty and uncomfortable, so he took out the phone bug and prepared to ask Flying Squirrel again what the situation was with a small amount of saliva.

However, before the phone bug was taken out and as soon as his hand was put into his arms, Ghost Spider sensed something was going on.

Looking at the sea, Ghost Spider almost jumped up with joy: "Warship! It's a warship! Our warship! General!"

Naturally, Akainu spotted the warship in the distance before Ghost Spider. Yes, it was a warship, and it also hung the navy's flag, the seagull and the scale, which symbolize justice and order on the sea. Every time he saw this flag, Akainu felt like Until the blood is burning, it has not changed for so many years.

Other navy soldiers also spotted the warship in the distance, and many people cheered. You can't believe how happy a hungry, thirsty and tired man can be when he encounters a ship that will bring him everything he needs.

As the warship sailed closer to the Akainu Army on the shore, Ghost Spider realized something was wrong.

"Admiral Akainu, have you noticed that the warship seems to have not moved for a long time?"

"Really?" Akainu looked at the warship in the sea and seemed to have really stopped.

"Indeed, it hasn't moved since just now. It should be about one kilometer away from the shore."

"General! Artillery! Artillery! The muzzle is pointed at us!" Ghost Spider suddenly panicked. He clearly saw the artillery on the warship exposed, and then the muzzle was pointed at them.

"I saw it, no need to repeat it so many times, just give me the order! Everyone take cover!"
