General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 417 Whale Hunting
The starting point of the Grand Line, Upside Down Mountain.

"Captain Creek! The whale I'm talking about is right in front. At this time every day, it will appear at the foot of the Upside Down Mountain and hit the Upside Down Mountain with its body. Compared to the large sea kings lurking in the deep sea, this whale The difficulty of catching is much lower.”

At the foot of the mountain, six medium-sized pirate ships were approaching the lighthouse at the foot of the Upside Down Mountain under the cover of night, waiting for the whale they said appeared.

On the bow of the pirate ship headed by the tall man, Creek held a large, weird-looking gun in his hand, patrolling the sea ahead with high spirits.

The ghost man Ajin, who had two round hammers hanging on his waist, licked his dry lips and stared directly at the middle-aged man who was talking with a pair of gloomy eyes. He looked at the middle-aged man who was frightened and his calves were weakening. .

"You better not lie, otherwise, I will use these two hammers to smash your head into your chest."

The middle-aged man's face was pale, and he nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "I'm not lying, Mr. Ajin. I used to be the millionaire elder of the Baroque Co., Ltd., a bounty hunter under Ms. Valentine's Day, and I used to often follow She came to capture this whale. If the old man with the chrysanthemum head hadn't interfered with it every time, this whale would have been slaughtered by our Baroque Working Society."

"Oh!"

Before he could finish his words, Ah Jin's right hand grabbed his hair and slammed his face onto the deck at his feet. Red nosebleeds suddenly spurted out from the middle-aged man's collapsed nose.

"Ah! Spare me, don't kill me, haven't I already joined? We are partners." The middle-aged man cried, his mouth leaking a few teeth, and his vision was blurred by tears.

"Partner?" Ajin grabbed his hair and lifted him up from the deck, put his face in front of the middle-aged man, and said with a ferocious smile: "Since you are a partner, why do you keep saying that you are a member of the Baroque Working Group?" Members? Crocodile is dead, do you trash bounty hunters from the Baroque Works understand the current situation?"

As he spoke, he took off a round hammer from his waist, pointed it at the middle-aged man's bloody and frightened face, raised his right hand high, and swung the hammer with a wicked smile.

"Ajin! Move gently, don't scare the whale away, don't forget our plan."

Creek stuffed a cigar into his mouth and said coldly.

"Yes, Governor Creek." Ajin hung the blood-stained hammer back on his waist, glanced at the group of frightened bounty hunters standing on the deck, and removed the middle-aged man whose head was smashed by the hammer. He twisted on the ground, tilted his head and said with a smile: "Do you think I can use this piece of meat to catch that whale? Whales should also eat meat, right?"

Creek smoked his cigar comfortably, looking at the lighthouse that was getting closer and brighter, and the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.

A few months ago, he took three pirate ships and entered the Paradise Channel from the East China Sea, thinking of doing something big to find the great secret treasure left by Roger, the Pirate King.

To be honest, Creek was originally a little scared of the waters of the Grand Line.

Before he came here, he had read various horrific descriptions of this sea area from newspapers and rumors.

For example, more than ten years ago, Red-footed Zhepu, a very famous pirate in the East China Sea, was lost in Paradise. After losing one of his legs, he returned to the East China Sea in despair.

Unexpectedly, Crick, who had long been mentally prepared for the dangerous paradise sea area and planned to fight with all his strength, not only did not encounter any danger in the months after entering this sea area, but also lived a good life. With everything going smoothly, the size of the pirate fleet under his command is getting bigger and bigger.

In Whiskey Peak alone, he gathered more than 1000 bounty hunters.

I heard from these bounty hunters that they originally belonged to the Baroque Working Company, and the president they followed was the legendary King Shichibukai, Sand Crocodile Crocodile.

But during the Alabasta Kingdom incident, all the top management of Baroque Works were wiped out.

As a result, they, those at the bottom of the workplace, no longer have decent wages to earn.

They also have to endure the encirclement and suppression from the Kingdom of Alabasta army, as well as the reorganization of the rebuilt Bounty Hunter Guild.

The encirclement and suppression from the two major forces have left these bounty hunters who have no bottom line in Whiskey Mountain exhausted.

So, when Creek appeared with three pirate ships, the remaining defeated generals chose to surrender without saying a word, and all joined his command.

As a result, the number of Creek Pirates doubled in an instant, reaching nearly three thousand.

There are also six pirate ships under his command.

This made Crick ambitious and high-spirited.

He thought, how could this bullshit great sea route be as dangerous as the rumors in the East China Sea?
Red-footed Zepp will lose a leg here because he is incompetent.

As soon as he arrived, the force under his command doubled, including strong ships and artillery.

As long as he prepared enough food before heading to the next raiding location, he could expand his troops again.

If this momentum continues, it won't take long for him to have tens of thousands of troops under his command.

He will effortlessly become the Pirate King, find the great secret treasure, and rule the world.

Thinking of this, Creek couldn't help but laugh proudly.

"Hahaha, hehehe, I, Governor Creek, will definitely become the Pirate King!"

"boom!"

Before he finished speaking, the calm sea surface on the left suddenly exploded, and a huge black shadow broke out of the water, like a mountain peak that suddenly rose from the bottom of the sea.

The two pirate ships on the side were directly pushed up by the huge black shadow and flew hundreds of meters into the sky like rockets.

Before they could fall, the two ships full of pirates had disintegrated, falling apart in the air and turning into pieces of wood that were scattered all over the sky.

The crowded pirates on the ship were lucky enough to be hit with broken muscles and bones.

The unlucky one was directly hit and exploded on the spot, turning into a ball of exploding blood mist.

"What is it! Is it a Neptune?" Creek was startled. He tightened his grip on the gun in his hand and looked at it with wide eyes.

"Is this...a whale?"

I saw the huge black shadow that broke out of the water and looked like a mountain peak floating on the sea. It was a huge whale.

Creek could not estimate the whale's exact size.

But that was just one eye opened on the side, which was hundreds of times the size of the pirate ship under his feet.

In front of such a mountain-like behemoth, human beings are really insignificant.

Akin's eyes widened in shock, "Is this the whale that bastard said? Are you kidding me! How can we kill such a big monster?"

He looked at Creek and suggested: "Governor Creek, how about we find other ways to prepare food? For example, go to some islands to plunder..."

Before he could finish his words, he was slapped on the face by Creek who suddenly turned around.

Kerik's slap was so hard that Ajin's mouth and nose bled, and he staggered two steps.

The pirates on the ship didn't dare to express their anger, and looked at Creek, whose face was red with anger.

"You're just a beast, do you want me, Creek, to run away in disgrace? If you dare to destroy my pirate ship, even if you are a Sea King, you have to pay the price! Bring the ship close to me and fire the cannon, I want to kill him This whale eats meat!”

"Yes!" Ah Jin, who was slapped, respectfully accepted the order with no complaints in his eyes.

Immediately, the remaining four pirate ships pulled down their sails and chased the advancing whale.

Once within range of the cannon, Creek immediately gave the order to open fire.

Suddenly, dazzling flames rose up from the whale's huge body amid dull roars.

The sound of gunfire from the sea woke up Kurokas who lived in the lighthouse.

He quickly stood up from the bed, angrily picked up the crossbow and javelin on the bow of the ship, and rushed out of the lighthouse without even wearing shoes.

When he saw the four pirate ships chasing whales on the sea and bombarding them, Kurokas yelled angrily with his eyes split open: "Damn pirates! Here to capture Rab again, damn it!" "

The anxious Kurokas did not hesitate, plunged from the cliff into the sea, and swam towards the direction of the four pirate ships.

The water undulated violently due to the swimming of the whale Rabu, making it impossible for Kurokas to get close for a while.

"Boom boom boom!"

Listening to the gunfire ringing in his ears, Creek showed a ferocious smile, grabbed the big gun in his hand, and shouted to Ah Jin behind him: "A Jin! Drive the ship over! I want to use this gun to fight Kill this beast with your own hands!"

Without saying a word, Ah Jin turned the rudder, turned the bow, and rushed towards Labu's head.

Being chased and bombarded by four pirate ships, the huge Rab showed a trace of confusion and a trace of fear in his eyes.

Although the cannonballs on the pirate ship could not cause much damage to its body as huge as a mountain peak.

But the sound of the gunfire was so loud that it still frightened it.

After losing his companions and waiting at the foot of Upside Down Mountain for 47 years, Rab felt lonely and afraid.

So, it raised its huge head, opened its mouth, and let out an ethereal and sad cry.

"Rabu! Resist! Overthrow them!"

In the sea water, Kurokas couldn't help but scream when he heard Rab's screams.

However, although Rab was smart, his cry could not be heard.

On the contrary, the sailors on the pirate ship not far away noticed a strong old man desperately chasing their ship in the water here.

"It's the old guy guarding the lighthouse, kill him!" Several members of the former Baroque Working Society knew Kurokas. They quickly raised their flintlock guns and fired at Kurokas, who was swimming desperately forward in the water. gun.

"Bang bang bang!"

The bullet shot past Kurokas' body, but he was completely unaware of it. He looked at the big whale with tears streaming out of its huge eyes with heartache.

"Rabu is already miserable enough, why do so many people want to hurt it? Hasn't Baroque Working Group collapsed? Crocodile is dead, why are there still people hunting for Labu!"

Suddenly, Kurokas heard the sound of sea water breaking behind him.

"And there are pirate ships?" His expression changed, and he turned around to look, only to see a small boat approaching quickly in the hazy night.

Before he could raise his crossbow to take aim, the small boat rushed past him and crashed straight into the pirate ship behind him.

There were two people standing on the boat. One of them was tall and slender. He jumped up high from the unsteady boat with light movements. He drew out his long sword and stabbed the astonished pirates on the pirate ship head-on.

"If you dare to hurt Rab, I will kill you!"
