It couldn't be that Smoker knew that I was here to investigate Crocodile's death, so he specifically contacted Ning Yuan and asked him to mention me a few more times!

As for the reason for doing this!

"He likes me?" Hina thought of this possibility. Apart from this possibility, she could not think of anything else.

"By the way, that fool back then has reached the age of falling in love, what a pity!" Hina shook her head, and then said: "You still have contact with Smoker now?"

"Yes, we saved each other's phone numbers!" Ning Yuan nodded.

"Well, the next time you chat, you can tell him that since you are in the East China Sea, where there are the least pirates, don't worry about patrolling when you have nothing to do. You can find a girl who likes the smell of cigarettes in Rogge Town and get married as soon as possible. The big thing is solved!”

Stop worrying about me!

"Oh!" Ning Yuan nodded. He really had no intention of bringing Smoker and Rina together. He just wanted to find someone who would endorse his method of killing natural Devil Fruit users.

Unexpectedly, Smoker's marriage was disrupted! ?

No, in the original novel, Smoker was just an old bachelor with a far-fetched marriage.

"By the way, what kind of stone are you talking about that can hurt those with natural devil fruit abilities?" Hina asked, "Do you still have it?"

"Yes!" Ning Yuan nodded: "But I don't have it with me. Why don't you go get it from my office?"

Rina's eyes flickered, but she saw Ning Yuan's face was sincere.

Such a young child shouldn't have any special thoughts, right?

That’s weird, a little kid knows how to tickle people’s palms?

However, just go and go. With the strength of this little weakling, can he still do anything to me?

Moreover, even if something happens, it’s not certain who will suffer!

Chapter 294 Invisible shackles and thick barrier

Chapter 294 Invisible Shackles·Thick Barrier

Elmalu, a baroque workplace, was temporarily transformed into Ningyuan’s office.

This office is extremely simple, just a desk and a chair.

Still nothing on the table.

Rina didn't have any suspicion, because everyone knew that Ning Yuan had killed Crocodile just two days ago. It was good enough to free up an office in two days, so what else did he need for a bicycle?

She looked at the broken stone fragment in her hand, originally thinking that Ning Yuan had some special ideas, but she didn't expect that there is a stone that can actually hurt people with devil fruit abilities!

"This is what I found in the sea!" Ning Yuan said: "I heard that Devil Fruit users are afraid of the sea, so I thought there might be something in the sea that could restrain Devil Fruit users, and then I found this kind of thing in the sea. Stone!"

"Where is the sea?" Hina asked.

"Take the sea outside Hana!" Ning Yuan pointed to the opposite side.

Nahana is the other of the two seaport cities at the mouth of the St. Din River, just opposite Elmalu.

Nahana is the transliteration of the name. If you use free translation, it is called Rapeseed Flower Harbor.

Hina looked at the city across the river through the window and fell into thought.

There are actually sea tower stones in the sea outside Rapeseed Flower Harbor?

That's right, the broken stone in her hand is just a fragment of sea tower stone. Ning Yuan may not recognize it, so he calls it a salt crystal stone.

But Hina is a marine, so of course he is no stranger to sea tower stones.

Then the problem is coming.

Is this the only sea tower stone outside Rapeseed Flower Harbor? Or are there many?

Or is it simply a sea floor stone vein?

"Are there many rocks like this under the sea?" Hina asked.

"Not much, I just found two small pieces!" Ning Yuan shook his head.

"How do you know it can restrain Devil Fruit users? And why did you fish them out?" Hina asked.

"I didn't just take these two pieces, I also brought up all the stones from the bottom of the sea, and then tried them one by one, and finally found that this kind of stone works best!" Ning Yuan said, "I even went into the sea later to try it out. I looked for them, but in the end I couldn’t find any more!”

"So that's it!" Hina nodded, probably the case was solved.

So Crocodile's death was not unjust, and who allowed people to find the fragments of the sea tower stone on the seabed.

As for how the irregular stones are loaded into the firearm.

These days, firearms still fire projectiles. As long as a stone can be loaded into the barrel, it can be fired.

At most, it just flies slower and its trajectory is more irregular.

But there is still one thing that is not certain, whether there are only two pieces of sea floor stone in the sea, or whether there is a mineral vein!

Hina is more inclined to the former, because although the sea floor stone is hard, its edges and corners are also rounded after years of erosion and friction by sea water.

But the fragment in her hand had sharp edges and corners. It didn't look like it had been at the bottom of the sea for a long time, but more like it had just fallen into the water.

But the question arises again. The sea tower stone is extremely hard and cannot be destroyed even by knife and fire. So what force can make the sea tower stone break like this?

"Will there be any fights among pirates in Rapeseed Flower Port?" Hina asked.

"Of course, Crocodile used to fight pirates here often!" Ning Yuan said: "There are still pirate heads hanging on the dock!"

"Then I understand!" Hina solved the case completely. There should be no veins of sea floor stone on the seabed. This sea floor stone came from some pirates and accidentally fell into the sea during the battle with Crocodile.

As for where the pirates got the sea tower stone, it was still such a small fragment.

Hina no longer wants to continue investigating.

She was afraid that the navy or the world government would be traced.

After all, the production of sea floor stone is monopolized by the World Government, and only the world government has the technology to process sea floor stone.

Do you think there will be fragments produced when processing sea floor stone?

Where did these pieces go?

After playing with the fragment of the sea tower stone in her hand, Rina grabbed Ning Yuan's hand and put the fragment of the sea tower stone up.

"Aren't you going to take it away?" Ning Yuan asked.

"Why take it away?" Hina asked with a smile.

"Such a dangerous thing, what if I take it and kill another nature type or something!" Ning Yuan said.

"Do you think everyone is as careless as Crocodile?" Hina rolled her eyes angrily: "The admiral will not die so easily!"

She didn't know that there was another person with the thunder fruit ability on the sky island.

"It doesn't necessarily mean he's an admiral!" Ning Yuan asked, "I heard that Ace, the captain of Whitebeard's second division, has also come to the East China Sea. He might arrive in Alabasta in a few days!"

"Don't provoke him!" Hina's face suddenly became serious: "Not to mention his personal strength is very strong, there is also the Whitebeard Pirates behind him! This pirate group is different from other pirate groups. Same, the crew calls the captain father, if you kill Ace, Whitebeard will definitely come to Alabasta to seek revenge from you!"

"Aren't we protected by the navy?" Ning Yuan said with a smile, "What am I afraid of!"

"This!" Hina's tone was choked. The navy does have the obligation to protect the countries that join the World Government.

But if it were the Whitebeard Pirates who attacked the countries that join the World Government, would the navy still be dispatched?

Rina thought about it and finally shook her head.

she does not know!

But not knowing, in itself, represents an answer: no confidence in the navy's determination to enforce justice.

"I can only tell you, when you meet Ace, just pretend you didn't see him and let him pass!" Hina said, feeling a little upset, because sometimes the navy really can't protect the people and can't enforce the law. own justice.

She thought again of a sentence mentioned in Ning Yuan's first article: Is delayed justice still justice?

"Forget it, let's not talk about this!" Rina waved her hands, stood at the window again, and pointed to the mouth of the St. Din River outside: "I remember that the ocean here does not seem to be peaceful. There should be Neptunes here. existing!"

She frowned and asked, "How did you find the courage to go into the sea? Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Afraid!" Ning Yuan said lightly: "But so what if you're afraid, some things have to be done by someone after all!"

As he spoke, Ning Yuan sighed again: "This is the tragedy of being weak. In fact, why don't I want to become a strong person! It's a pity that I haven't received any normal training since I was a child, and I haven't gained anything. Powerful Devil Fruit, if you don’t have intelligence, you can only use your wisdom!”

Rina patted Ning Yuan's shoulder with some pity, but felt that just patting her shoulder to comfort her might not be enough, so she simply took Ning Yuan into her arms.

Ning Yuan only felt that his ears were pressed against a soft place, and through the mountain peaks, he could still hear the rapid heartbeat.

"Colonel Hina, you don't need to comfort me!" Ning Yuan said quickly: "The suffering is over, right? I believe that Alabasta will slowly get better under my leadership in the future!"

"I believe in your wisdom, but if there is no deterrent from Crocodile, what will happen if Alabasta encounters pirates again?" Hina asked.

"Uh!" Ning Yuan was startled, and his body suddenly froze.

After thinking about it, Ning Yuan said: "I know that there is a group of manatees on the coast of Alabasta that know kung fu. I plan to conquer them and then form an underwater army. When I encounter pirates, I will let these manatees build ships!"

"What can a group of manatees do?" Hina shook her head disdainfully. She had never seen those manatees, so she took it for granted that they were not that good. "If you trust me, why don't I apply to the Navy Headquarters to build a building here?" How about a naval branch?"

This is not Sengoku's intention, it is simply Hina's own love attack.

A young man who is good-looking but weak in strength is so lovable!

It just so happens that the Black Throne Force does not have a fixed base, so it would be great if it was located in Alabasta!

"It shouldn't work!" Ning Yuan shook his head gently: "Although I don't know what the situation was like in Alabasta, there must be a reason why there hasn't been a naval branch in Alabasta for so long. I still can't rush into it without knowing it. promise!"

"Is there such a thing?" Hina was stunned, yes!

Alabasta is such a big island, but there is no naval branch to protect it.

Not only is it not available here, it is not available in several surrounding countries.

It just so happens that this is a great sea route, a great sea route with many pirates.

This kind of naval configuration feels a little wrong no matter how you look at it.

Maybe there is some agreement between the Navy Headquarters and Alabasta?

"Since that's the case, let's forget it!" Without knowing the specific situation, Hina couldn't force it.

However, there are policies above and countermeasures below.

Anyway, the Black Throne troops have to sail everywhere. In the future, they can just change their route and add Alabasta to the protection range.

"Um, can you let me go?" Ning Yuan asked softly.

"Where's the courage you had when you tickled my palm at the dock?" Hinata asked with a smile.

"Uh!" Ning Yuan blushed: "I'm sorry, that was the first time I saw a heroic female navy like you, so I couldn't help myself!"

"So, I am still very attractive!" Hina smiled: "Do you know that no amount of navy can ask for such treatment, and you actually want me to let go?"

"I really like this kind of treatment, but I am getting married after all!" Ning Yuan whispered: "It's not good to be seen by the princess's people!"

"You're a kid, you didn't expect to be so innocent?" Hina was a little surprised. She thought that such a handsome young man would have many girlfriends.

It can also be seen from the behavior of scratching her palms on the dock that this young man is not honest.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a person with a lustful heart but no courage?

What should I do if I like it more!

"My people are already guarding the area. No one will come up!" Hina said in a very seductive voice: "Are you sure you don't want to do something?"

Ning Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Rina, you'd better let me go!"

Your heart is beating like a general's order. You're obviously more nervous than me. Why are you still pretending to be a veteran?

It’s obviously fishing!

And Ning Yuan can also see that Hina has clearly never had a boyfriend, and is not the kind of person who shows mercy at all.

"It seems like I'm getting older. I'm not as attractive as a little girl!" Rina sighed and finally let Ning Yuan go.

Ning Yuan rubbed his face and said something, which was very warm.

"When will you get married?" Hina asked, "If it's the nearest time, I can still attend your wedding!"

"I don't know much about this. I am a commoner after all. I don't know what the rules are for marrying a princess!" Ning Yuan scratched his head and said.

"You, you, you were so confident that wisdom could defeat everything!" Rina patted Ning Yuan on the shoulder: "Why did you suddenly become a civilian again now? What happened to the civilians? Didn't the civilians kill Crocodile anyway? The civilians still killed Crocodile. Why don't you still marry the princess? I heard that you will be a king in the future!"

Ning Yuan was speechless: "I am very confident. How can you tell that I am not confident anymore? I just said that I don't know some of the court etiquette!"

"Okay, I'll just assume that you are confident!" Hina nodded, but she was complaining in her heart. She is obviously a lustful person, but because of a princess, she didn't even dare to pick up the beautiful woman who came to her door, and she said that she was confident. ?
