The gourmet among pirates

Just as Mo Lin was assisting Yixiao, he moved three Stormak Baron plants from the Boeing Islands to the East China Sea using the power of the gravity fruit.

On a frigate next to the Terminus, Lieutenant Colonel Buddy, the captain, received a call from home.

Buddy is a man who values ​​his family very much, although because of his job in the Navy, he cannot go home often and reunite with his family every day.

But in order to keep abreast of his family's situation, Buddy saved money for several months and used the money he saved to buy two personal phone bugs, specifically for him to make calls with his family.

Put one on him and never leave him; put one on him at home.

(Well, as far as Molin knows, when Buddy brought these two phone bugs home, he didn’t dare to tell his family that they were bought with his private money. Instead, he found one that was seized from a pirate ship. The spoils of war serve as an excuse.)

(Haha, this is a married man!)

Every day, Buddy would take the initiative to make a phone call home and talk to his wife on the phone to find out what happened at home today.

Maureen once saw Buddy talking on the phone for more than half an hour.

I don’t know why Buddy, who is usually taciturn, has so much to talk about when facing his wife.

After taking out a small yellow and blue phone bug from his arms, Buddy answered the call and smiled.

"Hey, Yi Li? Why are you calling me now? Do you miss me?"

Because he was in a good mood, Buddy took the rare opportunity to tease his wife.

But this time, what reached his ears from the other end of the phone was not his wife's somewhat shy tone.

Instead, there was a hoarse whimper: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Buddy, little Catherine, she is missing..."

"what?"

Yili's words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in Buddy's ears and shaking his soul to pieces.

It took Buddy a while to calm down.

Then asked anxiously: "What's going on? How come Catherine disappeared? Isn't she always in the academy?"

"Wuwuwu, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have let her participate in that damn academic exchange. If Catherine hadn't participated, she wouldn't have disappeared... Wuwuwu~~~"

His wife's cries of extreme self-blame directly tugged at Buddy's heart.

He had no choice but to suppress the anxiety in his heart and consoled her: "Yili, don't worry, calm down first, and then tell me the cause and effect of why Catherine disappeared. Only in this way can I find a way to deal with her."

call!

Suck!

call!

Suck!

·······

Taking a few deep breaths, for the last glimmer of hope that her daughter could be rescued, Yili forced herself to calm down, sorted out what had happened before, and then said to her husband:

"Some time ago, their college organized teachers and students to participate in a large-scale academic exchange jointly organized by several nearby kingdoms. At that time, Catherine was bored at school, so she signed up. The girl didn't discuss it with me beforehand, either. He told me directly after signing up.”

"Then she was afraid that you would scold her and wouldn't let her go, so she pestered me not to tell you. I was frightened by her, and then I thought that the East China Sea was still peaceful, and the people on board the academy were all pirates. It’s an armed passenger ship that we don’t dare to provoke, so that’s why I didn’t tell you.”

"Unexpectedly, something happened to them this time. I just received news from Sophia Senior Women's College, saying that the pirate ship Catherine and the others were on encountered pirates. The entire ship, including people on board, , all were robbed.”

Even the people and the boat were taken away?

Upon hearing this, Buddy immediately realized that something was wrong.

There are actually many differences between pirates and pirates.

Some more disciplined pirates, after successfully seizing a ship and killing the resistance on the ship, most of the time only loot the ship's finances.

In fact, he didn't do much to deal with the old, weak, women and children on the ship who had no power to resist.

For this kind of pirates, after they surrender and are caught by the navy, most of them just send them to the impel city.

But another kind of unruly pirates, after successfully plundering, will often kill all the members on the ship and take away both the people and the ship.

If there was a good-looking woman on board, the outcome might be worse than dying on the spot.

After months of looting, those who were lucky enough to survive might not be considered human beings anymore.

Because their hearts have long since died.

Even if they are lucky enough to be rescued by the navy, it will be difficult for them to get out of that experience after experiencing despair.

Buddy has been floating on the sea for several years. As a naval lieutenant colonel, Buddy has seen many such things.

Once the navy encounters this type of pirate, it will try its best to kill them if they can.

Since Mo Lin became the governor of the East China Sea Navy, such pirates will be killed regardless of whether they surrender in the end.

This was the first order Morin issued after becoming the naval governor.

In Mo Lin's words, this kind of person does not deserve to live.

Although this order to pass through the East China Sea caused some dissatisfaction from the World Government, Mo Lin resisted.

Since then, after killing a large number of pirates, the pirates on the East China Sea have become more disciplined in order to survive after being caught.

But now, when he thought that his precious daughter might have encountered such a group of pirates, Buddy's heart dropped to the bottom.

[No, it won’t happen. That girl Catherine is just a clever little girl. She will be fine, definitely! 】

Qiangzi gave himself a breath.

After learning some details and news from his wife.

After hanging up the phone, Buddy quickly turned around and steered the frigate beneath him toward the flagship of the Terminus where Mo Lin was.

Using the cable to quickly jump to the Terminus, Buddy took three steps in two and quickly ran to Molin's office.

Buddy, who always pays attention to rules, didn't even knock on the door this time. He directly knocked open the door of Molin's room, rushed to Molin and said: "Governor, help me!"

······

Maureen, who had just finished eating and drinking on a Stork Baron and returned to the room to take a nap, had just squinted for a short while.

Then he saw Buddy, whose eyes were red and breathing heavily, opened his door, rushed to him and shouted: "Governor, help me!"

As he spoke, this iron-blooded man, who was extremely strong in Molin's eyes, actually bent his knees and knelt in front of him.

Whoosh.

Maureen, who was originally sleepy and a little confused, suddenly woke up at the moment Buddy was about to kneel down, then disappeared from the place, grabbed Buddy's arm and lifted him up.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Just tell me if you have something to do. Don't do this to me again. The man has gold at his knees. I don't want to do this."

Buddy, who was easily lifted up by Molin, looked at Molin, who was now half taller than him, with an expression that was uglier than crying.

"My daughter was participating in some academic exchange with their school two days ago. When she went out to sea on a boat, she disappeared along with the boat. Before the boat disappeared, she made a rescue call to the nearby naval base, saying that they had encountered an accident. A pirate ship.”

Pirate ship.

Hearing this, Mo Lin's heart sank.

Just now when Buddy knelt down in front of him, he had a bad premonition.

The result... was really not what he expected.

Maureen knew how much Buddy valued his family. No wonder Buddy knelt down to her just now.

Thinking of this, Mo Lin quickly asked: "Do you know it was the pirate group that did it?"

Buddy smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The last call on the ship was not made at that time. By the time the navy's support arrived at the scene, they had all disappeared. So..."

Don’t you even know who was kidnapped?

That's a bit of a hassle.

Obviously Buddy also knew this, so he came directly to him.

Because the only one who has the ability to help him now is himself.

After pondering for a second or two, Molin took Buddy and walked out, talking as he walked.

"Come, follow me to Robin's place. I have always left the naval intelligence system in the East China Sea to Robin. She may have some clues..."

Maureen quickly walked to Robin's room. Before she could knock on the door, the door opened from the inside.

Mo Lin took a quick glance and found that Taoyao was in Robin's room at this time.

"Taoyao, you're here too! Just in time, you can come and help me too..."

After walking to Robin's room, he told them about Buddy's daughter being kidnapped by pirates in front of them.

Taoyao looked at Buddy and was silent for a moment.

Taoyao, who had once been kidnapped like a tool among pirates, knew very well what would happen to ordinary women when they fell into the hands of pirates.

At this time, she wanted to speak to comfort Buddy, but found that she couldn't.

Because what she knew, Buddy knew too.

After listening to this, Robin on the side did not speak. Instead, he took out his own personal phone bug, referred to Buddy's narration, and directly relied on his own memory to call Donghai Branch No. 97.

This branch is the Navy branch that received the distress call from Buddy's daughter's armed liner.

In front of everyone, Robin used Mo Lin's name to retrieve the most detailed records of Donghai Branch No. 97.

And obtained several important information that has not been circulated.

When reinforcements from the Navy branch arrived at the scene of the incident.

In addition to the disappeared armed passenger ship, the navy actually found a dilapidated sailboat that had mostly sunk into the sea.

According to analysis, the dilapidated sailing ship with its capital even broken into pieces should be the pirate ship that the pirate group originally boarded.

Just because I don't know what happened, it has been damaged to the point that it can no longer continue sailing.

It was precisely because of this that the pirates robbed Catherine's armed merchant ship together with the people and the ship after knocking it down.

Of course, this is just Donghai Branch No. 97’s own analysis and speculation.

However, the fact that Xiao was like this also gave Buddy a trace of color on his pale face.

After hanging up the phone, Robin thought for a moment, and then said to Molin: "Since the group of pirates who kidnapped little Catherine changed ships and escaped, it will give us one more clue. At least we I know I should look for that ship.”

"I have just asked Donghai Branch No. 97 to check the serial number and registered photo of the hijacked armed merchant ship. As soon as there is news, we can issue a wanted notice for this ship."

"But generally, if you want to be wanted, you have to wait for news from the World Government before it can be released. But now, if the time is delayed, little Catherine's situation will be more dangerous, so..."

Mo Lin waved his hand: "This is simple. Use my name to directly issue a wanted notice. I will handle it for the World Government. By the way, besides that, Robin, if you use my name again, in the East China Sea Navy system, Post a private bounty with the Pirate Hunter Guild."

"Just write that anyone who can provide the real information about the pirates will be directly rewarded with one million Baileys. Anyone who can provide the location of the pirates will be rewarded with 10 million Baileys. If he can rescue little Catherine, he will be directly rewarded with 50 million Baileys. Profit, the money comes from my side."

After hearing that Mo Lin did not hesitate to bear the blame of the World Government and provide money and effort, Buddy's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"Governor..."

Even Robin on the side flashed a smile.

Robin had guessed that Maureen would do the same when she made that suggestion, and Maureen did not disappoint her.

Because this is the Governor Morin she knows.

Maureen is safe and reliable, and can bring them a fatal sense of security and trust.

However, before Robin could say anything, Taoyao on the side interrupted: "If there is a reward for the information, I think the price can be higher, but regarding the matter of little Catherine, I think it is better not to reveal it. Once rescued, The group of pirates found out about little Catherine, and I'm worried that it will pose a greater threat to her."

"But with a net worth of fifty million, wouldn't it also attract the attention of the pirates and prevent them from attacking little Catherine easily?" Molin frowned.

After thinking for a while, Robin on the side also said: "Your ideas are not wrong, but I personally think that what Taoyao said is safer for Catherine. The reward of 50 million Baileys for saving people, even if it is let go There are quite a few on the Grand Line, let alone in the East China Sea.”

"Once this private reward is issued, the pirates will be chased and intercepted by the navy and pirate hunters. Soon they will also know the reason for our fanfare. By then, if the pirates have suffered too much loss, In anger, he might kill little Catherine to vent his anger, so..."

this······

So what, Robin didn't say, but Maureen and Buddy also understood what Robin meant.

After thinking about the potential danger to Catherine, Buddy quickly shook his head at Molin: "Governor, please don't post the reward for saving people!"

After hearing this from Robin, Mo Lin quickly figured it out.

At this time, little Catherine was hiding among a bunch of people. If she was exposed now, it would be more dangerous, so he nodded.

"I understand, then I will do as you say. Once news of the location of that group of pirates comes, Robin, tell me immediately and I will take action myself."

"Governor, do you want to take action personally?"

"Of course, if I go there in person, wouldn't I be more sure of saving people? Catherine is Uncle Buddy's daughter, she is not an outsider to us. My niece has been arrested, shouldn't I personally save people? Okay? Okay, no more words, I will rush to the East China Sea first, and if there is any news, please inform me immediately."
