I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 45 045. Mission!

"Xihai?"

Moses asked in confusion, "Why are you going there? Are you still in charge of that place?"

His eyes were a little vague, and Cap felt that this was a good opportunity to take Messier out to broaden his horizons.

In order to prevent him from staying on Magnetic Drum Island forever, I can take this opportunity to teach him a lesson, so that he won't learn from his mistakes and keep gossiping to me.

Of course, as to whether he has any other ideas, only he himself knows.

"Ahem, I just had a temporary mission and it happened to be on my way, so I thought of taking you to another sea area to play."

He didn't know what Cap was up to, but after thinking about it, Mercer didn't refuse: "Wouldn't it cause you trouble if I took you with me?"

Seeing that Mercer didn't refuse, Cap laughed and said, "I have the final say on this warship. If I say yes, it goes."

Mercer nodded and looked at the Crow Dabao that had fallen on the desk beside him. "I want to go out and play. Can we go back a little later? Is that acceptable?"

Ya Dabao blinked and nodded reluctantly, "Dumb~"

Seeing it nod, Messier breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he had said a few days ago that he would take it back to see his wife and children. He felt a little embarrassed to change his mind at the last minute.

Since Ya Dabao chose to follow me, I will treat it and Xiong Bao equally.

It has wisdom that is no less than that of humans, so it cannot be treated as an ordinary bird. Moses also believes that only by interacting with others with sincerity can one gain the sincerity of others.

This scene was seen by Cap, who showed recognition in his eyes. Of course, Cap knew that this was because Messier treated the crow as his own.

"Haha, okay, it's settled then. I'll go eat first."

Cap strode out of the room, and Mercer walked over to Crow Dabao and began to stroke its feathers.

Ya Dabao squinted his eyes comfortably, enjoying his leisure time.

……

Two days later,
Upside Down Mountain.

Looking at the huge channel where the warship was sailing upstream against the current not far away, the terrifying rumbling sound of water was heard.

A countercurrent that seemed to reach the sky appeared in front of my eyes.

As we approached, the incomparable magnificent beauty came into view.

Boom!
The warship crashed perfectly into the rushing waterway, and the terrifying pulling of the current acted on the entire warship.

On the deck, without anyone shouting, the marines skillfully lowered the sails and secured themselves to the ship.

The helmsman held the rudder firmly and controlled the direction of the warship.

Driven by the super-fast ocean current, the warship rushed towards the top of the mountain at a rapid speed.

It is said that Upside Down Mountain is ten thousand meters high, reaching into the sky, but driven by the ocean current, the warship soared straight into the sky and reached the top of the mountain in less than ten minutes.

Boom! The warship crashed heavily into the intersecting sea surface where the four seas converged at the top of the mountain. The next moment, Messer heard a uniform shout coming from the cabin.

"One, two, one ...

The warship did not adjust its direction and continued to sail straight ahead.

Upside-down Mountain is a relatively safe route leading to the Great Route from the four major open seas of the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, except for the doldrums. Each of the four major open seas has a countercurrent channel leading directly to the top of Upside-down Mountain.

The shipping routes of the East China Sea and the West China Sea are exactly on the same straight line when viewed from the top of the mountain.

Going upstream.

Inside the cabin, the marines pushed and pulled the power devices with all their might, and the rows of large oars extending from both sides of the warship began to move, following the waterway, going upstream and into the waters of the West Sea.

Compared to the ten minutes it took to go up the mountain, it took nearly an hour and a half to go down the mountain.

It's not just about going against the ocean current and fighting against nature, but also because the Upside-Down Mountain Channel in the West Sea is longer than that in the East Sea.

Naturally it will cost more.

Along the way, we did not encounter any sailing ships entering the Grand Route from the West Sea.

Thanks to the efforts of the marines, the warship sailed out of the upstream channel of the Upside-Down Mountain and officially entered the West Sea.

Half a day later, on the deck, Messer looked at the sea not far away. There appeared a huge piece of floating ice there. He was a little confused, but then the warship sailed straight over.

Come near.

A tall, sloppy man stood up from the ice, then carried a bicycle and pedaled through the air towards the warship.

The man was estimated to be nearly three meters tall. A few seconds later, he landed on the deck of the warship and placed the bicycle steadily in the corner of the warship.

Messier could see that the marines on the warship, especially the older ones, were greeting the newcomers enthusiastically, and it was obvious that they knew each other well.

Bogart walked forward, smiled and patted the man's shoulder, "Kuzan, why is it you?"

The man named Kuzan, who was about thirty years old, yawned, looked lazy, and rubbed the eye mucus from the corner of his eye:
"Yeah, it's me. Where's Mr. Garp?"

As he spoke, he shook his head to clear his mind and yawned again, "Ah~" and said, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll go find him."

"Huh?" Kuzan suddenly noticed that a little kid at the fence was looking at him curiously, and pointed in confusion:
"Who is this little guy? I don't remember there being such a small guy on Mr. Garp's ship?"

Bogart smiled and said, "He's Vice Admiral Garp's grandson. I just brought him out to see the world."

Kuzan's eyes widened slightly, and he said in disbelief, "That guy is so afraid of trouble, he actually took care of a child? I begged him to become his disciple before, but he told me to get lost?"

At this time, Garp stuck his head out of the window on the second floor of the cabin and said with a look of disgust:

"Kuzan brat, do you still have any shame?

Just like I didn't accept you?
how?

"After becoming a lieutenant, you went out on your own and your wings have grown strong, so you no longer recognize me?"

Kuzan looked helpless: "Ah la la~ It's just curiosity. Besides, I impressed you with my charm and tenacity.

I'm not wrong. I came to you to become your disciple, and at the beginning you said, 'Shut up, get out of here, stop depriving me of my freedom, and go find another instructor to learn from.'"

At this point, Kuzan looked at Garp with a face full of resentment. Suddenly, Garp blinked and laughed:
"Is that true? I don't remember it."

The marines standing by smiled as they watched the love-hate relationship between Kuzan, the now famous "core force" within the navy, and his own superior.

They really love to "eat" this interesting and delicious "big melon" about their boss.

"Ah, you really are a forgetful person. By the way, why did you take on such a thankless task this time?"

"Haven't you always been dissatisfied with this system?" "Come up and talk." Garp waved his hand and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a while. Come up and play."

Kuzan smiled and said to Bogart, "The old man has spoken. I'm going up first and will talk to you later."

Bogart waved his hand and said with a smile, "You go ahead and do your work. I don't have anything to do here. We can talk later."

Kuzan stayed on Garp's ship for quite a while back then, and he had a good relationship with Bogart. They hadn't been together for a long time, so this was a good opportunity for them to get together.

Messer watched this scene with some curiosity. When he saw Kuzan enter the cabin, he followed him.

Walking behind Kuzan, one could sense a chill, and soon the two of them entered Garp's room one after the other.

As soon as he came in, Messier took the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the three of them. Then he sat quietly on the sofa, holding the teacup, and looked at the two of them quietly.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became a little subtle.

Kuzan looked at Garp, then at Messer, his expression a little strange for a moment, then he looked at Messer and said, "Ah la la, little brother, we have to talk about business, why don't you go out and play first?"

Mercer ignored him and looked at Cap: "Master, what you are going to say next, is it your secret that I cannot hear?"

Garp blinked, then shook his head. "It's not a big deal. It's just a little thing about recruiting pirates. If you want to hear it, then go ahead."

Hearing this, Messer laughed and looked at Kuzan and said, "You can start now. I will just listen and not say anything."

As he spoke, he placed his right index finger and thumb on the left corner of his mouth, pinched it, and pulled it to the right, indicating that he would shut up.

Seeing this, Kuzan laughed and said, "Old man, your grandson is quite interesting. As expected of your grandson, he is quite courageous and not afraid of strangers."

Karp smiled proudly and said:

"Ahahaha, then don't you see whose grandson Moses is?"

I didn't praise you.

You are so proud of yourself.

Curling his lips, Ku Zan sighed, "You haven't changed, you're still the same as before, still so free-spirited."

Hearing this, Garp smiled indifferently, but his eyes turned to Kuzan and he sighed:
"But you, you. Alas."

I wanted to say something, but I didn't know how to start. I just sighed:

"Let's not talk about that, Kuzan. Let's talk about this mission. What do you think of that guy? Is he capable of doing it?"

“Hanafza, the Lizard King, retreated from the New World not long ago. For unknown reasons, he recently fled to the West Sea again.

Interestingly, that Gekko Moriah is also in the West Sea, and even more interestingly, they all have some connection to that Kaido, the Beast King."

Kuzan narrowed his eyes and said this.

"Is it Gekko Moriah, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? He used to be quite a formidable figure, but after his defeat by Kaido a few years ago, he's been quiet for quite some time."

No one knows what he has been doing in recent years, but every time he appears, there are always strange ghost legends circulating in the places where he appears. They are all about tombs on famous battlefields being dug up, and corpses resurrected and lost. However, considering his fruit ability, it is not surprising that these things were done by him.

As for the guy named Hanafza, he is quite mysterious. He went to Wano Country, and somehow, he suddenly withdrew from the New World with injuries. Recently, he ran back to his hometown in the West Sea.

This time, the target is him, and the government has specially recruited him as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Kuzan listened to Garp's analysis and nodded in agreement, "I didn't expect you to know so much. Yes, it's him.

I'm a little confused. This mission was originally assigned to me, but why did you come here suddenly? "

This was also what Kuzan was puzzled about. As soon as he arrived at the West Sea, he was informed by Admiral Sengoku to wait for Vice Admiral Garp and go with him to complete this mission.

Is that Lizard King Hanafza so powerful? He actually needs two of them to come together. Kuzan was very confused.

Wouldn't this be too much of a favor to him? With the strength of both himself and Garp, they can deal with those super famous monsters entrenched in the New World.

Hearing this, Garp smiled and said, "I have nothing to do. There's nothing much to do back at headquarters anyway, so I might as well go out for a walk. Doing a mission might even shut them up. Since you're here too, I figured we could hang out together."

Kuzan looked at Garp's subtle expression. He only believed 30% of what Garp said. Garp, who was most afraid of trouble, actually took the initiative to take the task for him?
"I see you're just here for fun. Should I go on a mission with you? Maybe I'll be the one doing the mission, and you can just have fun."

Garp's face froze, then he scratched his head and laughed, "What nonsense are you talking about? Let's not talk about that anymore. Tell me, where is Hanafza in the sea now?"

"The Kingdom of Troy," Kuzan said, "is the kingdom next to the Kingdom of Flowers. It's a member of the World Government that has been in war for a long time. It's very chaotic, with all kinds of people.

I heard that in the recent war, several large gangs in the West Sea were involved, and the people there were almost brain-dead."

"Oh, by the way, I heard that fellow Moonlight Moriah also arrived there half a month ago. Recently, many towns there have started to spread rumors of ghosts and murders with zombies appearing at night."

"That's all the recent information I have."

"Well! Okay, enough talking. We'll be there in a few days anyway. What to do then will depend on the actual situation. I've been exhausted these past few days. I'm going to get some sleep first."

After saying that, Kuzan lay back, resting his head on the back of the sofa, with his legs stretched out on the ground. He was wearing small sunglasses, and within a few seconds, he began to snore.

Mercer looked at him speechlessly, then asked Cap, "Master, is he your disciple?

Why do you look so slovenly and unkempt?"

The corner of Karp's mouth twitched, he glanced at Kuzan, his mouth crooked and his eyes squinting, he said unhappily:
"Who knows? He wasn't like this when he was young. He was a passionate and energetic young man back then."

"Who knew that after doing a ghost mission in the West Sea a few years ago, he turned into this ghostly appearance after returning."

"Breakup?" Mercer thought for a moment, then asked curiously, "Or did someone important pass away?"

Garp glanced at Messer and laughed angrily, "Kuzan isn't the type to cry. He's my most proud disciple."

"The eldest disciple?" Moses asked, "That means there's a younger disciple. Who is it? Can you tell me?"

Garp rolled his eyes, looking as if he didn't want to say more: "No, I've only taken this one for now. This one is enough for me to handle. If there are more, I'll be exhausted to death."

"I think you're lazy."

"Hiss!" Karp glared and took a breath. "You're talking nonsense. Do you believe I'll beat you up?"

Messer made a zippering motion with his right hand to his mouth again, indicating that he would stop talking.

Garp laughed angrily and shook his head, then he leaned back, squinted his eyes, and prepared to catch up on some sleep.

Meet two sleeping gods.

Messi also felt a little sleepy and immediately curled up on the sofa.

After a while, light snoring sounds began to rise and fall.
