Pirate Catcher in the Rye

Four days later,

"Boss Hawkins, the waterproof coating has been purchased. The Shampoo Islands are still some distance from Impel Down. We must leave now."

Jamory put down the navigation chart in his hand and said.

If it was a normal voyage, one day would be enough, but now they are being targeted by the navy.

Since a few days ago, several surveillance ships have been parked around the war house. In addition, there are many CP agents on the island.

It seems that the power displayed by the Hawkins Pirates has aroused the vigilance of the Navy, especially when the war with the Whitebeard Pirates is about to break out!

"Is there enough time to sneak from underwater to Impel Down City?" Hawkins frowned.

Without the help of sails, the speed of the boat will be greatly affected.

Especially at the bottom of the sea, it is easy to be attacked by the sea kings, which wastes a lot of time and energy!

"There are still three days, which should be enough in theory."

"The specific situation will not be known until later. After all, we have no relevant experience and do not know the environment of the seabed."

Oh!

After hearing Jamory's words, Hawkins nodded, which was reasonable.

"In that case, let's have a big fight!"

"Wow~hahahahaha——"

Hawkins laughed heartily. Now that the goal has been set, whether they can succeed or not depends entirely on their own performance.

This is the same for other pirate groups, there is nothing to complain about!

"Shhhhh!"

In an instant, layers of straw spread and quickly enveloped the entire war house.

"Hey~Hey~"

The clone soldiers also moved quickly, carrying huge pieces of tempered glass and installing them in the space left by Hawkins.

Thousands of replica soldiers worked together in a divided manner and applied waterproof coating on the outside of the straw in an orderly manner.

Meanwhile, brothers Day and Darrell covered dozens of openings with coating materials that were intended for shelling.

Because the area is not large, with the full cooperation of the two of them, it was completed quickly!

"Captain Hawkins, the waterproof coating is complete."

"Captain Hawkins, the tempered glass has been installed."

"Captain Hawkins, the attack muzzle is debugged."

...

In less than an hour, all the preparations were completed, and several times the amount of materials were stored on the ship but were not used.

"Set off!!!"

Hawkins suddenly raised his hand and said loudly.

This is a key step for them to go to the new world. If successful, they can quickly occupy the Kingdom of Wallis, saving a lot of time and energy!

"oh---"

More than [-] members of the Hawkins Pirates raised their hands and cheered. Along the way, their journey finally began!

"Crash!"

Following Hawkins's order, the replicators in the control room quickly controlled the hull to dive.

quickly,

The war house dived to a depth of tens of meters. When they saw that the war house was intact and there was no leakage, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not enough! To the southeast, continue diving!"

Jamory observed the direction of the sea current through the reinforced glass, and directed Elke to constantly adjust the huge 'fins' on both sides of the war house!

There is no wind in the sea, and advancement depends entirely on currents and these fins.

From a distance, the entire war house has a streamlined shape, like a shark, with huge fins on both sides of the body and on the top of the head!

……

Chambord Islands,

Navy surveillance ship.

"Reporting to Major General, we have lost sight of the Hawkins Pirates. Just now, their hull suddenly dived into the sea?"

Gollum!

A navy soldier looked at the gloomy major general in front of him and swallowed nervously.

I thought coating would take a long time, but who knew the Hawkins Pirates actually used this method to sneak into the sea!

Forget it if it were normal times, now is a critical period when the war is about to break out, and any adverse factors that may affect the outcome of the war must be eliminated as much as possible.

"Damn Hawkins Pirates!"

"Can't we wait quietly until the war is over? Our surveillance ships are not coated, so it is impossible to follow them."

"Immediately report it to the government and navy. This kind of thing is no longer within our capabilities!"

The major general exhaled heavily. Even if they went to a craftsman for coating now, it would still take a few days.

By then the war will be over!

"Yes!"

The soldier shouted back, and then trotted out quickly to inform the higher-ups about the incident.

the other side,

Several CP agents looked at each other.

Originally, they had a guaranteed deal, jokingly saying that even if the Hawkins Pirates flew into the sky, they could still catch up with them using the Moon Steps.

result…

They dived directly into the sea without giving them any time to prepare.

"It's still too late."

"Go to the port immediately to see if there are any pirate ships that have been coated, and grab them directly!" A leading agent said quickly, and then took the lead and quickly ran towards the port.

That's right!

When several other agents heard this, their eyes lit up and they followed closely!

……

seabed,

"Hahahaha, those idiots should be busy on the shore!"

"It's useless to be anxious. Even if they catch up, they will most likely think that we are heading to Fish-Man Island or other directions. As for Impel Down City..."

"Yes, that's the largest prison in the world. No one has ever broken into it since it was built. I'm afraid the navy and the world government won't think of it either!"

Everyone discussed it enthusiastically. After all, this is a feat that no one has ever accomplished, and I am afraid that only now will I have the opportunity to do it.

Thinking about it, just pushing dozens of warships outside the city is daunting!

To know,

The captain of every warship is a general at the rank of rear admiral.

If it weren't for this war, there would still be several lieutenant generals stationed there!

Each warship has about 800 to 1000 people, which means that the outer navy alone has nearly 2 people!

Coupled with the difficult jailers and jailer beasts in the city, as well as the terrifying Magellan.

Even if all the Yonko Pirates are deployed, they can still resist for a while.

And this period of time is enough for the world government and navy to send reinforcements!

Only this time, the Straw Hats broke through from the inside and blocked communications, giving them an opportunity.

In addition, there are countless coincidences!

The war between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates, the transfer of the Lieutenant General, the unexpected opening of the Gate of Justice due to the Blackbeard Pirates, and the betrayal of Ame no Shiru.

All unfavorable situations broke out at the same time!

This is no longer a miracle, but there are many miracles, and miracles are happening every moment.

"Captain Hawkins, there are ships approaching from ahead. There are four ships in total. They are all coated pirate ships."

At this moment, a replica soldier in charge of observation ran over and reported in a precise manner.

"Pirate ship?"

Hawkins was slightly surprised. The direction they were heading to was not Fish-Man Island. How could they encounter a coated pirate ship?

Go check it out first!

When Hawkins and the others arrived at the observation deck of the War House and looked through the tempered glass, they were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them.

There were indeed four leading pirate ships, but behind the four pirate ships, there were more than forty pirate ships following.

"Sigh~"

"Are you kidding? Where did so many pirate ships come from?"

"Just the breath makes me tremble. Are we not ordinary pirates? Have we fallen into a wolf's den?"

"Boss Hawkins, something bad is going on!"
