The gourmet among pirates

After standing on the deck and thinking for a long time, Ace simply stopped thinking about it after seeing that he still couldn't remember where he heard the name.

Toes a little.

After jumping onto the bow of the "Flame" battleship specially built for him, Ace turned to the subordinates he had led for several years and shouted:

"The Flame listened to the order and immediately turned the ship's bow according to the instructions of the chief of staff and headed towards the Principality of Moskot..."

The naval soldiers of the Flame, who were cleaning the deck and maintaining the battleships, suddenly became energetic after hearing Ace's order.

They all swarmed up, crowded in front of Ace, and shouted around Ace: "Chief of Staff's instructions, boss, is this a job?"

Before the sailor who spoke out could finish speaking, another soldier took over and said: "Nonsense, the chief of staff personally issued an order. This must be a big deal. How could such a trivial matter attract the chief of staff's attention? Hehe, boss, this Is it that big pirate who escaped from other sea areas to the East China Sea?"

The "Flame" led by Ace is the elite among the elite navy of the Fortress of the End.

Over the years, with Ace's expeditions to conquer pirates, the navy in Ace's hands has made great progress, and the growth rate of each one is far faster than the ordinary soldiers of the Final Fortress.

After becoming stronger.

This group of guys gradually started to look down on the ordinary pirates who were not strong in the East China Sea.

However, that was precisely why they were so excited after hearing Ace's words.

Every time, the chief of staff personally ordered things to come down.

It’s all a big job!

Who knows, this time they will be able to catch a powerful pirate again.

After all, the last time Chief of Staff Robin called personally, he asked Ace to hunt down a big pirate who had escaped from the North Sea and had a bounty of 78 million Baileys on his head.

Hey!

Great pirate!

A great pirate with a bounty of 70 to 80 million is on top of dozens of ordinary pirates with a bounty of 1 to 2 million.

Not to mention anything else, the credit and bonuses alone are not a small amount of money.

Not to mention, guys with that kind of strength generally have a rich family background.

You can reward yourself after catching these guys.

"You guys, stop dreaming! Just think of good things. This time, Chief of Staff Robin asked us to investigate the Moonlight Order of the Principality of Moscow, not to chase some big pirate."

Not in a good mood, after kicking a few tougher guys.

Ace rushed these over-energetic guys one by one to clean the battleship.

snort!

What a good thing, there are so many big pirates in the East China Sea waiting for them to catch!

Even if there are really pirates, they have fled to the East China Sea from other sea areas because of the chaotic situation outside.

But as long as they inquire a little about the situation in the East China Sea, they will not act in a high-profile manner in the East China Sea.

Ha ha.

There is what the small naval headquarters only calls "Final Fortress", but it guards the entrance and exit of the Grand Route!

Unless they plan to cross the windless zone in the future, people who are not stupid will not dare to be too high-profile in the East China Sea where Mo Lin is in charge.

"what·······"

After being kicked one by one by Ace, he was kicked away.

The naval soldiers surrounding Ace immediately dispersed.

After hearing that this time, they were just investigating a certain church, these guys all showed disinterest and looked dejected.

Ace looked at this and wanted to kick these guys over and over again.

On the contrary, the navigator on Molin's ship was slightly stunned when he heard "The Principality of Moskot".

Principality of Moscow!

Doesn’t this kingdom not welcome the navy?

Why did the chief of staff ask them to investigate this kingdom this time?

·······

The Principality of Moskot is located in the middle of the East China Sea.

It is one of the most prosperous principalities in Dinghai.

If it weren't for the small area and relatively large population of the Principality of Moskot, there's no telling whether it would be possible for the Principality of Moskot to be upgraded to a kingdom.

.

this day.

In the Greenland Port, the largest port in the Principality of Moskot, the Flame slowly docked in this historic port.

The largest port in the Principality of Moskot, Greenland City, to which the Port of Greenland belongs and known as the "Economic Capital", is also one of the two largest cities in the Principality of Moskot.

Only Moskot, the "political capital", can rival this port city in terms of prosperity and population.

According to the information that Robin later passed on.

The origin of the Moonlight Church that Ace and the others need to investigate this time, the original Moonlight Monastery, is located in the suburbs of Greenland City.

After parking the boat.

Above the gap on the side of the Flame, the stairs descended.

Soon, a group of marines appeared in the port in a mighty manner.

Except for the dozens of people who stayed to guard the ship.

This time, Ace directly led two centurions ashore.

Two navies numbering in the hundreds appeared at the port, and soon attracted the attention of the merchants, fishermen, and coolies on the dock.

The two centurions of the navy totaled only more than 200 people.

Although this group of people didn't seem to have many people compared to the group of people who were bustling at the port to make a living, the uniforms and the neatly arranged team came out.

It attracted the attention of almost everyone on the pier.

Suddenly, some people gathered together and started discussing secretly.

"These guys are...the navy?"

"Why are the navy coming to our Principality of Moskt? There are several knight commanders here, but no pirates dare to act recklessly in our Principality of Moskt. Even the pirates in the nearby waters have been cleaned up by our adults. There are no pirates, Are these marines here to make fun of you?”

"Who knows?"

in the discussion of the crowd.

Several middle-aged men wearing white priest robes seemed to have thought of something.

Their expressions changed and they walked quickly towards the church built on the edge of the pier.

············

After entering the pier.

Ace was keenly aware of the eyes falling on him.

However, he didn't care.

"Walk."

After briefly looking around, Ace led the large army behind him and walked towards the town behind the port.

As the port with the largest flow of people in the Principality of Moscow.

An important part of the "economic capital" Greenland City.

Behind Greenland Harbor is a bustling commercial street.

There are shops on both sides of the street, and stalls selling goods on the ground with a piece of cloth can be seen everywhere.

If you rely on the mountains, you will eat the mountains; if you rely on the sea, you will eat the sea.

As the street closest to the port, most of the businesses on this commercial street are aquatic products.

Fish and seafood for sale at stalls can be seen everywhere.

Even the air smelled faintly of fish.

In addition to these vendors and shops selling seafood, you can also see a few stalls selling wild vegetables and fruits on the streets.

But not many.

in this city.

Compared with the seafood gifts from the sea, it is obvious that fruits and vegetables are rarer and more precious.

But Ace, who was taking the lead walking down the street, frowned slightly unnoticeably.

Because, he found that whether it was the fishmongers selling seafood or the vendors selling fruits and vegetables, or on the stalls, there were more or less one or two crescent-shaped mark labels.

Do not!

Not only these small vendors, but also the shops on both sides of the commercial street.

Ace can see that there are also crescent-shaped signs in their store.

There are even some families who directly enshrine a picture of the crescent moon in their homes.

"Is this pattern... the symbol of Moonlight Church? But why does this pattern seem more familiar to me the more I look at it? Could it be that I have come into contact with people from this sect before?"

Ace, who had a flash of doubt in his mind, didn't stop at all.

He directly led his team of more than 200 people to the largest restaurant on this street.

Although that restaurant is already the largest restaurant on the nearby street, it is still compared to the huge number of people of more than 200 people.

This restaurant is still not good enough.

Finally, except for tourists who are eating in restaurants.

Ace reluctantly packed 80 people into the hotel, and then took the remaining or people into the street to find other restaurants.

In addition, a few people were sent to the largest stores in the city to purchase supplies that were in short supply on the Flame.

Restaurants and hotels have always been one of the most well-informed places.

Even the pirate world is no exception.

Ace dispersed his marines among these restaurants and taverns to fill their stomachs.

She also silently collected news about the town for him.

at first.

Those in the hotel and tavern were intimidated by the blue and white uniforms of these sailors.

Silent for a while.

But when they saw these navy, they just came to eat.

The courage of these people gradually increased.

After a few glasses of wine.

Some people started talking loudly again.

Nobody knows.

The useful information they talked about was recorded by some people in the navy.

···········

And the other side.

In Greenland City, those who silently observed Ace's group of marines.

After discovering these navy, they entered the town.

They just got off the boat to have a toothpaste, and after sending someone to replenish the supplies on the boat, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

but.

Although they breathed a sigh of relief, these people still honestly fed back the information in their hands to the higher-ups within the church.

Passed through layers.

Soon, this news spread to the original Moonlight Monastery outside the suburbs of Greenland City.

Beneath the Cross in the Moonlight Abbey Chapel.

A figure wearing a black and white nun's uniform was praying quietly with her hands clasped together.

When the hazy light fell on the figure through the windows of the monastery, a holy atmosphere suddenly filled the entire auditorium.

under the cross.

It was obviously just an ordinary nun's uniform, but after wearing it, it had a strong sacred flavor.

Make people feel holy and inviolable.

"When, when, when..."

When the clock bells in the monastery rang one after another.

Under the cross in the auditorium.

That holy figure, its long eyelashes moved slightly, and slowly opened its eyes.

When the rays from the light-transmitting window fell on her face.

A quick sound of footsteps sounded quickly after this sound.

When the person behind the nun raised his head, he happened to meet a pair of extremely clear eyes.

These extremely clear eyes seemed to possess infinite magic power.

A single glance washed away the impatience in people's hearts. The figure who ran over quickly and planned to wake up the "Saint Girl" immediately lowered his head in shame.

"Your Highness!"

The figure under the cross shook his head when he heard this and said: "Xius, I have emphasized many times that I, like you, are just ordinary people who believe in God the Father. You don't need to be so respectful to me. "

The figure behind the saint did not answer the words.

Only after Saint Monroe stopped, she said respectfully: "Your Highness, over at the Greenland Port, a group of two to three hundred sailors suddenly arrived today. After identification, it was found that the leader of the group this time was The one who 'returned from evil and returned to righteousness' became the famous 'Fire Sword' Ace."

"The letter sent by the Grand Duke of Moscow was not long ago, and the navy arrived at the Principality of Moscow at this time."

"I don't believe there are such coincidences in this world, so I wanted to come over and ask the saint what we are going to do about this matter."

‘Fire Sword’ Ace!

Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar name, a flash of confusion flashed across the face of Saint Monroe of the Moonlight Church, but soon, this confusion was suppressed by herself.

She asked in a deep voice: "Do you know what Mr. Ace is doing now?"

"I'm telling the saint, after the 'Fire Sword' Ace came to the island, he didn't do anything else. He just led his men to make tooth sacrifices on the street near the dock. By the way, he also sent a few people to the city to purchase some. Supplies needed for a long voyage.”

"Is that all there is to it?"

After seeing Hughes nodding, Monroe suddenly smiled, and revealed a charming smile.

This gorgeous and holy light almost blinded Hughes.

After his heart beat a few times unsatisfactorily.

Xius lowered his head suddenly, not daring to look at Saint Monroe again.

Monroe, who was opposite Hughes, seemed to have been accustomed to his charm for a long time and did not react much to it.

He just smiled and said: "If that 'Fire Sword' Ace only comes to the island to eat and replenish supplies, then why should he be so nervous and want to do anything unnecessary?"
