Chapter 12 The Invited Navigator
Chapter 12 The Invited Navigator
Watching the huge wave begin to slowly recede, the entire crew on the National Ship suddenly began to relax and fell to the ground one by one, with no intention of getting up.
Even the navigator on the bow of the ship felt as if he had lost half his life at this moment.
However, those soldiers who followed, after seeing Chang Nuo's powerful slash, the little stars in their eyes were almost ready to come out.
This was also Chang Nuo's first time using a move from the Feitian Sword Style. Even he himself did not expect that he would be able to display such a huge power.
The moment the sword slashed through the waves, even he was startled.
"Your Majesty, you are really amazing. I was scared to death just now!"
Gogoya was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground. The fear in his eyes was very obvious.
"Okay, it's okay, but after today, you need to hurry up and find me a navigator. It's best not to let such a third-rate navigator go to sea. There's no telling how big things will happen in the future."
Chang Nuo was speechless. The navigator on his ship was simply too inferior.
"Your Majesty, you are really amazing..."
"That's right, Your Majesty is indeed extraordinary..."
Listening to the praises of the soldiers behind him, Changnuo shouted helplessly, "Hurry up and check if anyone else is in trouble. Check to see if everyone on the ship is here!"
"yes……"
The voices of dozens of people speaking in unison suddenly lit up the sea area.
"Gogoya, where are we now?" Changnuo asked.
"Your Majesty, the compass was broken in the impact just now, and now I don't know exactly where it is!" Gogoya said in a low voice with some embarrassment.
Chang Nuo was even more speechless. He really couldn't say anything more to this group of people. It was simply too speechless.
"Tell me about it, is there just a compass on this ship?" Chang Nuo asked again in disbelief.
After hearing this, Gogoya stared at Chang Nuo carefully and nodded in fear.
Chang Nuo suddenly slapped his head. This was the first time he went to sea in his life and he encountered this kind of thing. Without a compass, it was really a dream to find a place to dock in such a big sea.
But their luck won't run out so quickly, and it can be said that they are so sleepy that they come to the pillow.
While the two were still entangled, a pirate ship suddenly appeared on the sea in the distance.
And they are still moving quickly in the direction where they are, and my group doesn't even need to look for them!
"Cheer up, it looks like the compass is here!" Chang Nuo said with a sinister smile on his lips.
Gogoya got up from a cold and lay on the railing, then looked in the direction Chang Nuo said.
At this time, the pirate ships in the distance still seemed quite small to them. If they didn't look carefully, they would have been almost suppressed by the horizon.
"Your Majesty, they are pirates!"
Gogoya said worriedly.
"It's hard to tell if they are not pirates. Now that we have finally met a group of them, we are really looking forward to it!" Chang Nuo said with an expectant look on his face.
He became extremely excited, and even the soldiers behind him were gearing up. How could these people be afraid of pirates now? They are all eager to start meeting each other.
As the distance between the two ships got closer and closer, the flag on the pirate ship could be clearly seen. There was a huge skull painted on the sail. Before they even got closer, they had already started to prepare. fire.
But now it would not be as they wished. When the distance was close enough, Changnuo disappeared in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already on the pirate ship.
There were about forty or fifty pirates on the ship. Among them, the pirate captain standing on the front deck was still shouting directly to the others, "Young men, it seems that a big business has come in today. Hurry up and shoot me..."
"Ship...captain..."
The younger brothers shouted with some trembling. After all, just as they approached the other people's ship, an unknown person came to their ship. The key was to sit in the original position of their own captain.
The stupid-looking pirate captain turned his head impatiently and was about to curse when he heard his little brother calling him, but when he saw someone sitting in his place, his whole body changed. He suddenly froze in place.
"Who are you??"
The pirate captain looked at Changnuo and asked curiously.
"I am the captain of the ship opposite. You just wanted to attack us with cannons. Shouldn't we settle the score now?"
Chang Nuo sat there and said with a smile on his face.
"How did he get here just now?"
The pirate captain directly pulled the boy next to him and asked in a low voice and curiously!
"Captain, the other party just appeared here suddenly without even seeing where he came from. It seems that the other party is probably a Devil Fruit user?"
The crew member said to the pirate captain.
"Many other pirates also ran to the deck with knives, and a group of people surrounded Changnuo.
The pirate captain seemed to gain some confidence after seeing this situation. He shouted directly and arrogantly to Chang Nuo, "You are only one person. There are so many people here, how can I be afraid of you?"
"Then look behind you again?"
Changnuo continued to smile.
When the pirate captain turned around and looked in the direction of the Country, more than a dozen people were already in the air, running towards this side.
This scene didn't scare them to the point of peeing. The more arrogant look they had just now made their eyes pop out at this moment.
"Captain, it seems we can't defeat these people?"
"You don't need to tell me! I saw it myself!"
The pirate captain immediately started yelling at the crew, then looked at Chang Nuo sitting in his seat with a smile on his face, and said somewhat flatteringly, "Are you a pirate too?"
"What did you say?"
Chang Nuo looked calm, and the dozen guards who were originally on the National had now jumped onto the deck.
Everyone on the pirate ship immediately gave up resistance and threw the knives on the ground with a crackling sound.
"What kind of pirate group are you?"
"Ah, our pirate group is called the Barlow Pirates. My name is Barlow. I am from the West Sea Country. I am going to the New World. There are 51 people on the ship and almost 30 million Baileys worth of gold and silver jewelry. Are you here? You can take it all if you like, but please leave some food for us.”
Changnuo asked what the other party's pirate group was called. The captain named Barlow explained the situation on the entire ship very clearly, without omitting anything, for fear that the other party would be dissatisfied.
Changnuo stood up and smiled. He was very satisfied with the other party's attitude, and he didn't have a bad opinion of pirates.
Hearing that people had said this now, it made his group of people look like pirates, but even so, Changnuo still smiled and said to his guards, "Captain Barlow has already explained it so clearly, why not?" What are you doing in a daze? Let’s go and take back the 30 million beli money first.”
"yes……"
The guards were also very happy and they started to search the whole ship excitedly. It was estimated that as long as it was valuable, even a pair of underwear would not be spared.
Chang Nuo stood on it. After a while, the guards who went to search came back with a large box full of jewelry in their hands.
"Your Majesty, it is indeed 30 million beli. This is the only valuable thing on the entire ship." said the guard.
"It's good. At least we didn't waste time on this trip. It's really fast to make money this way!" Chang Nuo stood there and started to think about it.
Now the pirate captain named Barlow, looking at the other party holding his treasure, felt as if his lifeblood had been taken away. Even though his expression and facial features were twisted together, he did not dare to say anything.
"Where is the navigator on your ship?"
Changnuo asked, looking at Captain Barlow.
"Navigator???"
Barlow was stunned once again. With his height of six meters, he looked very funny and funny.
Before Chang Nuo could ask again, Barlow said blankly, "I am a navigator..."
"you??"
Now it was Chang Nuo's turn to be surprised, but he still asked, "How did you escape that huge wave not long ago?"
For this small boat, which is only a dozen meters long, the huge wave of more than 30 meters just now might be able to knock it directly into the bottom of the sea with just a little residual power.
But judging from the appearance of the other party, it seemed that no one was injured, and there was nothing special about the ship.
"You said it was the wave just now? It really shocked me. I didn't expect there to be such big waves in the four seas. It seems that the closer you get to the Upside Down Mountain, the greater the climate change will be." Barlow laughed. said.
"Am I asking you this?" Chang Nuo said with a speechless expression.
"The wave just passed by like that. Anyway, it wasn't anything big. It was just rushing up along the waves. Originally, we were still dozens of kilometers away, and we just followed the waves to get here." Luo said.
"It seems that your Barro Pirates have nothing to do. From now on, you might as well become my navigator." Chang Nuo said with gleaming eyes.
The other party's navigation skills must be better than his own navigator. I don't know much. The main reason is where he is going next. Changnuo really doesn't believe in the other party's ability.
"Haha, don't be ridiculous, I'm a pirate..." Barlow said with a smile.
"This is His Majesty the King of the Tru Kingdom, and the underground strength is very strong. With His Majesty, you can at least go anywhere in the world, unlike you who lick blood every day."
A guard standing next to Chang Nuo said.
"His Majesty??"
Barlow looked at Chang Nuo in disbelief. In his impression, almost every king he had ever seen had a fat head and big ears. Not to mention that the king was so young, and his strength alone made him look very handsome. He was in disbelief.
Barlow turned his head and glanced at Changnuo's National, with a very reluctant expression on his face, but now was it his turn to make a choice?
"What is your aspiration?"
Chang Nuo suddenly thought that the entire pirate world likes to chase dreams, so he subconsciously asked directly.
This sentence obviously made Barlow a little at a loss. Dream? It seems like he really doesn’t have this thing!
"If it's a dream, it might just be to find my brother who has become a pirate!"
Barlow thought for a while and then said.
"It is indeed a very good ideal, but based on the strength of you people, let alone going to the Grand Line, you will probably be killed by others halfway." Changnuo said with a smile.
"Huh? What you said makes sense, but I still want to stick to my own opinion!"
Barlow continued.
"What's so good about your little broken ship? Isn't it just to find your brother? Come and be my navigator. At least this ship can go anywhere in the sea in the entire pirate world."
Chang Nuo said, but looking at Barlow's eyes now, he was obviously looking at his crew members.
So Chang Nuo continued to smile and said, "As for them, if they are worried, they can directly arrange work above."
The main reason is that the people in the entire Tru Kingdom have almost no sailing experience, and they have no control over many things on the ship.
Just like how much effort it took to remove the two sails in the first place, everyone was in a hurry.
So now he has a preliminary understanding of the sailing skills of the people on his ship, and he really feels that it is difficult to take on such a big responsibility.
Not to mention that more ships will appear in the future. The Kingdom of Tru will definitely not remain in its current state. Therefore, navigation skills need to be improved to at least many levels to meet the country's future needs.
It's rare to meet one today. As long as the other party doesn't have much influence, it doesn't matter if they get it on your ship.
The pirates are not without their merits. Sometimes, at least their survival and emergency skills are much better than those of their own.
"Captain, since His Majesty the King has said so, shouldn't we really consider it?"
"That's right, Captain..."
The crew below also began to persuade Barlow that at least if they stayed on the National, they would no longer be pirates and would not have to worry about survival every day.
In fact, for Barlow, he has begun to feel a little loose now. Changnuo just wants a better navigator. After all, the next journey is still unknown. He relies on his current navigator to let him The whole person felt very insecure.
After experiencing the big storm before, such a small boat could actually survive, which is enough to illustrate the overall skills of Barlow, a relatively short man.
In this vast sea, without a qualified navigator, even a ship as long as a hundred meters long like the National is likely to capsize in a storm.
