The ship drew an arc in the air and landed heavily on the surface of the sea. Kirito had successfully escaped from the Windless Belt.
Hinata checked the chart and corrected the course of the ship, and the two set off again in the direction of the Grand Line.
The Marines didn't leave. Although they can only shrink back in the face of the Calm Belt, they can wait in the nearby sea. Once the pirates succeed in escaping, they will be the first to receive the news.
"Sir, the enemy ship has successfully escaped from the Calm Belt. Should we pursue?" A Marine saluted and asked the Commander.
The Commander waved his hand and said seriously. "Immediately order all warships to pursue at full speed. The target is the enemy's pirate ship!"
The messenger responded and retreated, immediately informing the whole army of the order. For a time, all the warships picked up their anchors and chased the target.
Whirlwind Elric sneered. "What dangerous Calm Belt?
Didn't that man and woman still manage to come out easily?!
I think you are just an alarmist, delaying the battle! "
"Sir Elric, I have to be responsible for my soldiers. Even if Admiral Nielsen is here, I will answer the same!
And please pay attention to your words, I am here to cooperate with you, not to become your subordinate! "The Commander still said in a neither servile nor overbearing tone.
In fact, it's not that the Commander is timid or anything, but the special environment of the Calm Belt determines one thing: the smaller the ship, the easier it is to escape, and the bigger the ship, the more dangerous it is!
Elric's face changed for a while, then he snorted and stopped talking. His purpose is to get the dragon bone, and now is not the time to complicate things.
Elric swore in his heart, "You can be proud for a while. Once I get the dragon bone, I will definitely kill you, you annoying bastard!"
As soon as Kirito got out of the Windless Belt, he immediately checked the Arsenal System. The quest was still sitting there quietly, and there was no progress. He immediately became vigilant.
The quest hasn't changed, which means that they haven't led the Marines away. In other words, the Marines should still be nearby and may catch up at any time.
After all, the small sailboat is not as fast as the warship, and soon they saw the warship with the Marine flag catching up.
After handing over the task of steering to Hinata, Kirito once again set up the turret and aimed at the Marine's battleship.
The strange scene played out once again, and the scene was exactly the same as the previous pursuit.
As he fought and fled, a small island soon appeared before his eyes. Looking at the familiar scene before him, Kirito's eyes immediately turned and a plan came to his mind.
This island should be the abandoned island that Luffy and the others came to to help the Millennium Dragon. The ruins on the island were all left behind by the ancestors of the military ship island.
Kirito quickly abandoned the ship and landed on the shore with Hinata. Although there is no way to use Dojutsu and Chakra in this world, all kinds of Ninjutsu can still work.
The two quickly hid themselves, waiting for an opportunity to deal a fatal blow to Whirlwind Elric.
The navy quickly reached the shore. Eager to find the dragon, Whirlwind Elric took the lead and arrived at the island. He followed the tracks Kirito had purposely left behind into the dense forest.
"Eh?
Why did he disappear?
It's really strange! "Elric stared at the tracks that suddenly disappeared and said in confusion.
The commander quickly led a large number of Marines to catch up. He came to Elric's side and asked, "How is it?
Eric -sama, do you have any clues? "
"What?
Does the honorable Marine want to ask a small mercenary like me?
Can't you see for yourself if there are any clues?
Commander-sama! "Elric said sarcastically.
Looking at the tracks on the ground that suddenly disappeared, the commander muttered, "The tracks that suddenly disappeared … Either the pirates deliberately left the tracks to mislead us, or they are hiding nearby!"
Elric didn't pay any attention to him. Instead, he loudly ordered the Marine soldiers, "Since they brought the little girl here, it means that the Millennium Dragon is nearby. Go and find it!
Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find it! "
The commander sneered in his heart, "They obviously found us tracking them, how could they still lead us to the right place, what a ridiculous guy!"
Although he thought this in his heart, he waved his hand and said to the Marine soldiers, "Follow Elric's instructions and search carefully!"
The Marines immediately dispersed and searched in the distance. The commander said, "What is Eric -sama waiting for?
Aren't you afraid that the Marines will find the Millennium Dragon first? "
Although Elric is conceited, it doesn't mean that he can't listen to what others say. He also thinks that the commander's analysis is very reasonable. The two pirates must be hiding nearby with Abis.
"You guys go ahead. Instead of searching aimlessly like this, why don't we hurry up and find that little girl and ask for her exact location? This is called 'sharpening the axe will not delay the work of cutting firewood'!" Elric sneered in his heart.
He thought this in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud. Elric pretended to be disdainful and said, "I'll leave this small matter to the Marines!
I'll see if there are any other clues around here. "
The commander looked at Elric strangely and said, "Then you go first, I'll go to other places to look."
Elric couldn't wait for this annoying guy to get out of here. He nodded very happily and began to search around here.
After searching for a long time, there was no useful clue. Elric couldn't help but wonder, "That guy didn't deliberately leave me here so that they can search for the Millennium Dragon without worry, right?"
The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it became. Especially the Marine commander's words, it made people think more.
Just as Elric was thinking about these things, a katana suddenly emerged from an old tree beside him.
This knife appeared without any warning, moreover, it carried a cold murderous aura. By the time Elric felt it, it was already too late, he could only barely avoid the fatal part of his body.
The knife pierced his waist, leaving behind a bloody wound.
If it wasn't for Elric's quick reaction, his intestines would have been sliced apart by this blade.
"Damn pirates!" Eric's eyes were red as he roared like a wounded beast.
