chapter 88

After half a day.

A certain sea area in the first half of the Grandline.

A deserted island.

The evening is coming to an end, and the setting sun is like blood.

The wisps of gunpowder smoke rose up and drifted into the distant sky.

A drop of blood flowed slowly along the leaves of the withered grass, slid to the ground, and merged into the larger blood red.

Broken swords and muskets were stabbed across the barren and ruined ground.

The shattered corpses were scattered in disorder, and the pungent bloody smell made the air extremely suffocating.

"...Who are you...who are..."

"Damn Navy..."

A hoarse voice sounded slowly and stiffly from the dry throat.

twilight sunlight,

The unruly figure covered in blood appeared to be terrifying like a ghost.

Looking at the pirate whose throat was tightly clasped in his hand and his eyes kept protruding out and overflowing with bloodshot eyes, there was no superfluous expression on Adam Rice's face.

A power in his hand!

Click!

Only the sound of the shin bone and throat shattering at the same time was heard crisply, and the splashing blood was shocking in the afterglow of the setting sun.

boom!

The pirate's still warm body slowly fell down, and after a few twitches, it remained motionless.

Adam Rice shook his head, standing in the midst of the corpses and blood everywhere, shaking the blood in his hands expressionlessly.

"How about it?"

Zephyr's figure slowly walked out of the jungle on the deserted island, his expression rather stiff and ugly.

"As for?"

He looked at the terrifying scene around him, feeling a little unbearable in his heart, and said in a hoarse voice.

Adam Rice sneered:

"They are pirates, and I am the navy. The navy's crusade against pirates is justified."

"Teacher Zefa, you are too kind, but you can't be a navy."

Zefa sighed in his heart, and after listening to the toughness and determination in Adam Rice's tone, he had no intention of continuing to persuade.

There are many ways to deal with pirates, and killing them directly on the spot is the last thing he wants to see.

Not to mention in a way that is close to slaughter and torture like Adam Rice.

Adam Rice ignored Zephyr terrifying expression.

Everyone's path is different.

in the North Sea,

Kindness is only mischief.

More than once, he has seen the members of the mafia who have done many evils, after being arrested and jailed, easily get rid of the crime through huge bribes, and finally still at ease.

Rather than having such trouble, it would be better to just kill it right from the start.

Only absolute bloody means and a tough attitude can truly shock those domineering pirates, and can make people have absolute awe of the navy.

That's how he Adam Rice does things.

"So, Mr. Zephyr, do you see the problem"?"

Adam Rice took out a clean silk scarf from the breast pocket of the military uniform, wiped the blood on his face gently, and moved gracefully.

Their master and apprentice avoided everyone's eyes and ears, found a merchant ship responsible for supply from the headquarters, and randomly recruited a pirate group not far away, just to practice their skills.

Before the real special training starts, Zefa needs to really understand Adam Rice's combat level.

Zephyr pondered for a moment, then slowly said:

"It can be seen that your fighting methods and experience against the enemy are very rich. Whether it is the grasp of the timing of the shot or the control of your own combat skills and body, you have already achieved perfection."

"You have a solid foundation."

There was no surprise on Adam Rice's face.

For this evaluation, he calmly accepted.

He knows better than anyone that he was able to get to where he is today, not just by eating, drinking and playing political games.

He trains harder than anyone else and has more combat experience than anyone else.

Behind the amazing talent is countless sweat and perseverance.

"So, can we start, Mr. Zefa?"

Adam Rice asked with a smile.

"About the training of haki..."

Zephyr nodded, his eyes gradually filled with bright light.

That's right,

This special training that their master and apprentice decided to carry out,

There is only one goal.

That is to let Adam Rice completely master the domineering within ten days!

at the same time.

Marine Headquarters Marine Ford.

boom!

Fleet Admiral Kong looked at the densely packed list of military supplies in his hand, and the terrifying number on the list, he was so angry that he almost smashed the desk in front of him.

"No reason!"

"There's no reason for this!!"

Kong has never been so angry in his life, he almost jumped and cursed his mother.

"how can that be!?"

"Sengoku, are you sure this number is correct?"

"In the past few days, the price of sea stone on the market has increased fivefold!?"

Kong's eyes were about to burst into flames.

If calculated according to the price of the sea tower stone on this list, their headquarters want to collect the sea tower stone transformation of 20 warships before sending troops to the new world, it is estimated that they will have to hollow out their limited military expenses!

sea stone was originally a strategic reserve resource, and there was only one place of origin in the whole world, and that was Wano Country in the New World.

In addition to the domestic supply of Wano, the sea floor stone resources that flow out every year are mainly divided into two parts.

One is a fixed acquisition by the world government to supply major CP departments as military strategic reserves.

The sea stone resource supply on the Navy's side was mainly from the allocation of the world government in the past.

In addition, another part of the sea stone resources exported by Wano Country has flowed into the black market around the world.

The sea stone resource reserve on the side of the Navy Headquarters is probably barely enough to transform three naval battleships.

This is a huge gap from the goal of transforming the twenty warships they need to send troops to the new world.

So this time the Navy Headquarters had to buy additional sea stone from the black market around the world.

But after they dispatched the acquisition team, they found out strangely that in the past few days, there were also other forces purchasing a large number of Hailou stone resources...

This behavior has caused the purchase price of Hailou Stone in the entire underground black market to soar at an astonishing rate, and now it is five times higher than the normal price!

When Kong saw this price list, his first reaction was that Sengoku made a mistake.

This is simply not possible!

The price of Seastone in the underground black market has always been very stable. After all, this thing is different from conventional arms smuggling. For ordinary people or countries that lack sufficient processing methods, it is useless like ordinary stones.

Even if it is used to deal with the devil fruit ability, you can't smash someone with a large piece of sea building stone.

Therefore, normally, although the amount of sea floor stones on the market is limited, it is completely sufficient. After all, ordinary people cannot use them.

It is precisely for this reason that the high-level officers of the Navy headquarters have never worried about the acquisition of Hailou stone from the underground black market.

But what they didn't expect now is that there is a force to buy Hailou stone at a high price in the underground black market, forcibly increasing the price of Hailou stone!

Ordinary forces can't use the resources of this sea floor stone at all...

They bought Hailou Stone in such a large amount and at a high price, could it be...

An incomparably terrifying thought instantly flooded into the minds of Gang Gukong and Sengoku, causing their hands to tremble uncontrollably.

Could it be that the sea floor stone processing technology plan in the hands of Adam Rice has been spread out! ?

No, not possible.

Kong thought for a while, but shook his head.

Adam Rice is very aware of how important and strategic this technical means is. He is absolutely impossible and has no courage to release this technology.

Unless he doesn't want to hang out in the Navy.

But since this is not the reason, what is the reason for the skyrocketing price of sea floor stone?

Just when Gang Gu Kong and Sengoku were frowning and worried,

Tsuru rushed into the marshal's office with an anxious look and sweating profusely.

"¨" Marshal Kong, I found out! "

Holding a document tightly in her hand, she gasped out of breath:

"Recently, the forces that have purchased a large number of seastones in the underground black market... have been found out..."

Kong and Senguo suddenly stood up after hearing the words, staring at Tsuru with scarlet eyes, and gritted their teeth in unison:

"Who is it!?"

The crane staff gasped and said:

"Yes... it's the Don Quixote Pirates!"

The voice fell,

Kong and Sengoku were struck by lightning, and the whole person was stunned there stiffly.

Don Quixote Pirates...

Doflamingo,

The biggest winner of the North sea underground forces!
