Commander, you smell so good.

Seeing this, Jiang Zheng thought about it and decided to go up and say hello and ask where he was, what time it was, and what had just happened.

However, as Jiang Zheng got closer, he saw that the black figure was becoming more and more familiar. He also felt that he had seen that strange outfit somewhere before.

But just when Jiang Zheng reached out to pat her shoulder, she suddenly said something incomprehensible.

"Did you hear it? The cry from the sea"

"Is that the sound of waves?"

Jiang Zheng looked at the sea. The sea, the same color as the sky, was rolling with waves. It really sounded like the sound of the sea.

"It's the sea's wail! Wail!"

"I know, I know, Sorrow, right?"

"Have you heard the cries of the children? Have you felt the city crumbling? Have you not noticed the grinning faces of those who have succeeded in the conspiracy? Have you ever considered that friends are no longer friends, and home is no longer home?"

"Stop, I feel like it hurts just listening to it."

The black figure quickly called for a stop and turned around. Jiang Zheng then noticed that this person was actually dressed like a pirate captain. Although apart from the pirate hat and the scimitar at her waist, she didn't look like a pirate at all. In fact, what she wore was a bit sexy. Why did she look more and more familiar? She felt like that so-and-so?

"By the way, who are you?"

After guessing who the person in front of him was, Jiang Zheng coughed lightly and then introduced his true identity.

"I am a lonely loner, a summoner of ever-changing forms, a faded one who gathers firewood, a natural disaster that makes all directions tremble, the servant of the thousand-year-old Miron, the agent of the disaster beast Ashes, the ancient god whispered in legends, the analyst of the world tree, and the unemployed commander of half of the blue."

"You think I'm that? Royal Fortune"

Chapter 254 My new boat!!!

"I don't believe it. How could one person have so many identities? By the way, how did you know my name... Wait! You! The clothes you're wearing! You're actually an officer!!!"

The girl who admitted her name, Royal Fortune, showed an expression of disbelief, then narrowed her eyes, and after noticing the simple yet slightly noble uniform on Jiang Zheng, she widened her eyes, quickly took a step back, stretched her arms left and right and looked at Jiang Zheng, with an expression of panic that was not concealed.

"Quack—I'm going to fight you to the bitter end!!!"

After spending a second thinking, Royal Fortune pounced on Jiang Zheng without saying a word and wrestled with him, determined to beat him to the ground and turn him into a fool!

Fortunately, after a chaotic scene, Waijiang Zheng used his more advanced fighting skills and finally subdued her, making her lie on the ground with her hands and feet, saying "it's impossible, absolutely impossible" with a frustrated expression and a frown on her face.

"Okay, okay, don't think too much. I'm a little hungry. Let's go get something to eat."

After picking up the hopeless Royal Fortune, Jiang Zheng touched his stomach, which was already making a rumbling sound. This was not only a sign of hunger, but also other special signals.

"That clean wooden barrel contains the ingredients. Go and prepare them yourself. Don't worry about me..."

As if it had lost its bones, the limp Royal Fortune made a groaning sound, pointing at a wooden barrel not far away, then lay down powerlessly, opening its mouth and then closing it again.

There was no way, Jiang Zheng could only shake his head helplessly and go to the wooden barrel to see what ingredients were inside and eat whatever he wanted, otherwise he would starve to death.

After a little tidying up, Jiang Zheng found that he had just enough ingredients for the barbecue. He used the kitchen utensils beside him to recall what time it was.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the story about the sailing ship. Although the plot is skipped, there are more or less some fragments. But the story about the sailing ship is too early. World War II has not started yet. What's going on?

While thinking that I should just focus on the plot, I was cutting meat with my hands. I learned the skill of doing two things at the same time.

Until Jiang Zheng finished and lit the barbecue, Royal Fortune did not speak to him. Oh, except for taking the scimitar at his waist to cut the food, he had been silently staring at this person.

Although she knew that she was careless and did not pay attention to details, how could she let her guard down so easily in front of a stranger?

But after making contact, Royal Fortune stared at Jiang Zheng with an incredible look and confirmed that he was indeed not an officer. If he were, he would have avoided him long ago, as if he were avoiding the plague god.

What's more, he didn't have the airs of an executor. He cooked his own food, spoke kindly, and looked at him as if he were a friend.

Another thing is... he has a seductive fragrance, he smells so good.

Is this body odor? That's really strange.

Royal Fortune was lost in thought, not knowing that Jiang Zheng had already come to her, squatted down, and handed her the grilled skewers.

"Here, eat something and don't lie down. Where are we?"

He moved his eyes and watched him eating the barbecue while handing it to himself. Then Royal Fortune slowly sat up and took the barbecue he handed to him.

"Thank you."

......

"Oh~, this is the deserted beach on the edge of the city-state? So, I've traveled through time again? No, it should be said that I've entered another world. In that dazzling light, I was reborn..."

After a hearty meal, Jiang Zheng touched his chin and followed the Royal Fortune's gaze into the distance. However, because it was too far away, Jiang Zheng could only roughly see something like pixels, that was it.

"Another world? So you're from outside the city-state world? How interesting! And you drifted onto the beach, just like a special plot in a legendary pirate story. Love it."

"But we two really are on the same path. So, from what I understand, you're going back, right? As for me, I want to continue my adventure. How about we team up? I'm planning to go to the end of the world~! It's called the New World Continent!!!"

Listening to Jiang Zheng's story, Royal Fortune threw the skewers he had eaten into a broken bucket, washed his hands, and while still chewing the unswallowed barbecue, he excitedly made related associations.

She was swept here by the storm, while he was drifting here. Isn't this fate? So, needless to say, the next step is for him and her to...

He is called the Great Pirate King!!!

Thinking of the thrilling journey ahead and the interesting companion that would follow, Royal Fortune took a deep breath. Was her wheel of destiny really about to turn?

"Well... to be honest, I'd rather wait for my shipgirl to come find me. After all, I don't know what's going to happen next..."

Jiang Zheng frowned when he heard the voice of One Piece from the girl next to him.

To be honest, he was worried about what had happened to his shipgirls. Although Hindenburg's beam cannon caused an explosion comparable to a nuclear bomb, if they were anxious to find him, it would probably take a long time if he didn't stay where he was.

After all, I have seen the plot like that where someone searches for something for a long time and finally gets through many times, and every time I feel like I'm about to have a cerebral hemorrhage.

It's probably the feeling that the plot is just one step away from the ending. This feeling of regret always remains in the mind, making people think carefully about how cheerful and harmonious the plot will be in the future.

But to be honest, the most important thing is the safety of the ship girls. To put it in a bad way, with that shot from Hindenburg, it felt like not only the Sirens, but even Jean Bart and the others who were evacuating quickly would have been crushed to pieces, even though he didn't want to think about it.

"Hey! If someone comes looking for you, what are you afraid of? You have to learn to take the initiative, otherwise you won't even know they've passed by you. Young man, learn to look up and keep moving forward!"

"When something happens, you can't just sit there and wait for death."

Seeing that he was hesitant, Royal Fortune patted him on the shoulder, as if to make up his mind for him.

"That makes sense. Why are you giving me advice? Okay, how do you tell me how we should set out?"

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Zheng finally chose to believe that they were safe. Since they would definitely come back to find him if they were safe, why didn't he take the initiative to find them?

"Good! This is my excellent crew! My good partner, let me tell you, I've also prepared a nice sailboat. Open your eyes and take a good look!"

After saying that, Royal Fortune turned around handsomely, his whole temperament changed, and then he pointed to a place at the dock, and the smile on his face instantly froze.

I saw the ship that had just stopped swimming slowly towards the storm in the distance, as if attracted by a black hole, and it had already gone more than a nautical mile away.

"Ahhhhhh! My new boat!!!!"

Chapter 255: Accountability of Both Parties

What Jiang Zheng didn't know was that while he was secretly comforting the distraught Royal Fortune, the ship girls from the Sardinia Iron Blood, Iris and other camps had already started to get into chaos.

boom! ! !

"Bishop Richelieu, please give us a proper explanation regarding the disappearance of our commander!"

At the projection meeting, Richelieu watched expressionlessly as Veneto, led by Sardinia, slammed the table hard, making a sound loud enough to break the tables and chairs. His expression seemed furious.

Vittorio Veneto, the gentle Sardinian leader who is approachable and friendly, and known as the Flower of La Spezia, was so furious. The only reason she was so angry, apart from the defeat caused by her command error, was the disappearance of her lover Jiang Zheng.

"Veneto, please calm down. Although this incident is the fault of Bishop Richelieu, the current urgency is not to hold him accountable, but to send as many people as possible to find Commander Jiang..."

Compared to the furious Veneto, Bismarck spoke calmly as if nothing had happened. He did not take advantage of the situation, nor did he disdain to do so. Instead, he maintained the calmness of an iron chancellor.

Even though this matter is extremely important, we cannot be impatient. Otherwise, if we start internal strife before stability is achieved, that would be disastrous.

At least Jiang Zheng will definitely not be happy when he sees them like this when he comes back.

But despite this, they could still see Bismarck's frown.

"Bismarck, Veneto is right. Although this is the fault of my companions, as the primary person in charge, I will naturally shoulder the responsibility. However, as you said, the most urgent task right now is to locate the commander to prevent him from falling into the hands of the Sirens. Judging from the Sirens' model, called the Numbered Observer, they are already aware of the commander's peculiarities."

"I've already ordered them to conduct a large-scale search for the commander's whereabouts. I've also assigned most of the Barbarians to search ships for a comprehensive search. The mass-produced submarines are also being searched."

Faced with their anger, Richelieu naturally took the responsibility. At the same time, her implementation plan reduced the anger of Veneto and Bismarck. The attitude, method and action were shown, so they had nothing more to say.

After a few quick exchanges, the online projection meeting ended soon. Veneto looked at the huge conference room and saw that there was no one there. He closed his eyes and sighed.

"Don't be too anxious and tire yourself out. Here, I've prepared some hand-ground coffee for you. Otherwise, when Commander Jiang... comes back and sees you looking so haggard, my foolish lover will blame me."

Seeing that her meeting was over, Littorio took the opportunity to bring her a cup of fragrant coffee and talked about Jiang Zheng, but changed his mind later.

After all, the organization has already made arrangements. You can call each other by their names in private, but at other times you have to call the commander by the title that is approved by 95% of the vote.

When working, you should refer to your job title.

But when she smelled the burnt aroma of the coffee, Veneto was in no mood to drink it.

"Littorio, I'm really not in the mood to drink anymore..."

"You have to drink even if you don't feel like it. You are the pillar of our Sardinian Empire. If you fall so easily, let me take the flagship position and you can have a good rest."

Littorio picked up a chair and sat next to her, saying half-jokingly that if it were in the past, Veneto would still be in the mood to joke with her, but now he has no mind at all.

After a bitter laugh, he picked up the cup and took a swig of coffee, feeling a bitter taste in his throat.

Only Littorio felt something was wrong and began to review the minutes of the meeting on his own.

On Iris's side, after finishing the projection meeting, Richelieu closed his eyes and pinched his nose bridge. For a moment, he felt a huge pressure like a mountain on his shoulders.

Even though he had experienced many battles and participated in the struggle to repel the Sirens, the pressure this time was really overwhelming, making it difficult to breathe.

The most important thing is that the responsible party is still on our side, okay, although it doesn't matter which side it is.

"My Lord Bishop..."

On the other side, Joan of Arc, who was supposed to be arrested for interrogation, came to Richelieu with a bitter face. The other ship girls had already participated in the rescue and search for Jiang Zheng, but she wanted to stay here and talk with Richelieu.

Richelieu did not respond to her immediately, but rested his eyes and thought about something, which made Joan of Arc even more bitter.

"It's okay, Jeanne. We all trust you. None of your companions will blame you. We all believe in you."

A few minutes later, Richelieu finally noticed that Joan of Arc had arrived. He should have scolded her but instead showed a gentle smile and told her not to worry. They were all companions who had come all the way together, and they might even become good sisters who would share a bed with her later. What was there to scold?

But after the meeting, Richelieu always felt that something was wrong. He began to recall the report on the relevant matters and always felt that something was missing.

"Okay, Jeanne, I'm confused about something. Can you explain it to me again?"

"I understand, Your Excellency. After we boarded the ship, my sisters and I changed into our swimsuits..."

"That's not it, let's get to the point."

......

"Parseval, Hindenburg, the commander was still there when you two went over there, right?"

After the meeting, Bismarck noticed that the report dictated by Iris conflicted with the records of Hindenburg and others, so he immediately called them to his office and asked them about the reason for the incident.

After the two men explained again, Bismarck narrowed his eyes and stared at Parseval's smile. After another statement, he found that something was wrong.

If Hindenburg was firing at that time, Parseval would have arrived early, so she should not have failed to notice Jiang Zheng.

According to Bismarck's understanding, these ship girls who were awakened by Jiang Zheng himself had special ideas and took it more seriously than they did. In this case, it was impossible for them to say that they did not notice Jiang Zheng's disappearance.

"I see. As expected of the Iron Chancellor Bismarck, you have put it very clearly."

Bismarck expressed his doubts, which made the witch admire him a little. After sitting down casually, she put her hands on her thighs and expressed her admiration for her generously.

"That's not important, Parseval. What's important now is how is the commander doing?"

"Don't worry, he's doing fine now, and he's also surrounded by this beautiful pirate lady, so he's having a great time..."

With a mischievous smile, the witch told him where he was.

He is indeed in the evacuated sea area now, but it is not this world.

Chapter 256 Small tricks

"You mean, the commander is not in this world now? In a parallel world?"

Parseval's words made Bismarck make some logical associations. He put his hands together on the table and suddenly realized that the commander was safe and sound.
