One Piece Super Card System

The Spade is naturally the name of Ace's ship.

After hearing what Ace said, Ian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ace was a bit different from Luffy. He was not stupid enough to say that he was going to become the Pirate King as soon as he picked up the phone...

Due to Jimmy's warning, you should generally be cautious when encountering this kind of emergency distress signal, because you have no way of knowing whether the person calling for help on the other side is really in distress.

Under such circumstances, Ace only reported the name of his ship, which was a very smart move. Just the name of the ship would not reveal too much information.

"Help...Help!" A voice came from the other side of the phone, urgently saying: "We are a patrol boat from the G-3 branch of the Navy. Unfortunately, our boat hit the rocks and sank. Please help us!"

Ian and Jimmy looked at each other.

Before answering the phone, Ian was still imagining who would be asking for help. He thought about pirates and merchant ships, but he never thought that it was the navy.

Ace didn't answer at this time and stared at Jimmy.

Jimmy rubbed his hands and frowned: "The route we are taking is indeed within the jurisdiction of the G-3 branch. It is not surprising that there are navy patrol boats, and the next island we are going to is a desert island. There are indeed many reefs in the sea, and it is indeed possible for the patrol ship to hit the rocks and sink!"

"So, this call for help must be true?" Ian asked.

Jimmy shook his head and said: "I can't say for sure, it might be a pirate using the name of the navy..."

"It doesn't matter if you're a pirate!" Ace smiled and said, "We are pirates too!"

Jimmy originally wanted to say that it was common for pirates to fight against each other, but when he thought of the power of Ace and Ian, Jimmy suddenly stopped talking. If he really encountered a pirate, he still couldn't tell who it was. Tough luck.

In fact, what Jimmy and the others were most worried about about this emergency distress signal was the navy, fearing that it was a trap set by the navy.

However, as soon as the other party asked for help, he revealed his identity as a navy, which did not look like a trap.

If the navy wants to use this method to lure pirates into taking the bait, they will not say that they are from the navy, but will say that they are a passing merchant ship or the like, allowing greedy pirates to take advantage of them and round them up.

Ian had the same idea as Jimmy. If the other party changed his identity, Ian would be suspicious. But now it seems that a navy ship is really in trouble.

"However, I think regardless of whether they are true or false, it's better to leave them alone!" Jimmy looked at Ace and said: "Captain, even if the other party is true, our identities are pirates, and we have never heard of any pirates saving the navy! "

Ian didn't say anything and just looked at Ace. This was his ship and everything was decided by him. He was just a rider. Since he didn't agree to Ace being his vice-captain, it wasn't his turn to do this. Express your opinion.

However, what he didn't expect was that after Ace tilted his head and thought for a while, he actually asked into the microphone: "Where are you located?"

"We are more than 160 nautical miles southwest of the island. We are now living on a reef. We have no water and no food. We don't know how long we can hold on!" The navy on the other side of the microphone cried and said: "Please come as soon as possible. .”

Ace didn't say anything, just hung up the phone.

Ian put away the phone bug that had fallen asleep again, and then asked Ace in surprise: "Are you going to save people?"

"Of course!" Ace smiled and nodded: "If someone is in trouble, of course they have to be saved!"

"But don't forget, you are a pirate!" Ian said: "Although you are not wanted yet, from the moment you hang up the pirate flag, the navy will be your enemy, so you have to save them. ?”

Jimmy was also advising from the side: "Yes, Captain Ace, you have to think carefully!"

Ace pulled the brim of his hat, slightly covered his eyes, and whispered: "Ian, since you know the old man, you should know his identity. If you don't save these marines, the old man will definitely do it in the future. Beat me up!"

Old man, are you talking about Garp? Ian nodded, understanding what Ace was thinking.

Just like Luffy, Ace is actually not a real pirate. In his heart, he still has his own concepts of good and evil.

Even though Ace always eats the King's meal, he is actually not bad at all. Could it be that with his skills, he can't beat those cooks? Of course this is impossible, but every time he ate the King's meal, he always ran away. Instead of bullying the cook, he just politely thanked him and ran away...

Although he keeps talking about the old man, Ace still respects Garp as his grandfather. Garp is the vice admiral of the Navy headquarters. It is not an exaggeration to say that these naval soldiers are his subordinates. They can save his grandfather. Subordinates are something that Ace can easily understand.

Immediately understanding Ace's thoughts, Ian said nothing more. He just went to rescue him. Anyway, those naval soldiers who were killed could not pose any threat to Ace.

Ace made a decision, and Jimmy and the others had no choice but to comply. Who makes Ace the captain? His dignity still needs to be maintained, so the members of the Spade Pirates came out of the cabin one after another, turned the sails, adjusted the course, and headed towards Go ahead.

About three hours later, when it was almost dark, we finally arrived at the location where the marine soldier was killed.

Although it was close to the next island, it was too far away and the land of the island could not be seen. On the contrary, as the ship approached, Ian saw many rocks above the water.

He had asked Jimmy before. The island that is approaching is called Maze Island by sailors, also known as Whirlpool Island, because this island is very difficult to approach, and the sea area on all sides of the island is covered with all kinds of monsters. Large and small exposed reefs and submerged reefs, as well as the currents in nearby sea areas, are hindered and dispersed when flowing through these reefs, and then converge again. One ocean current is often broken into dozens of tributaries and countless reefs. , which brings about a maze-like chaos of ocean currents, and also causes the emergence of vortices.

But unfortunately, there is not much sea breeze around this island. It is called a small windless zone. All ships that want to get close cannot approach with sails and can only move forward by rowing oars. When they sail into The sea area here will be affected by these messy ocean currents, making it difficult to control the direction.

If you are not careful, the ship may be carried away by a certain tributary. Then the ship may hit a reef and lose its body. It may also be sucked into a vortex and pulled to the bottom of the sea to become a sunken ship.

In short, this is a very dangerous island, but it is stuck on this route. If you want to store the record pointer, the navigators must land on the island.

Every year, a large number of ships sink in the waters around this island. Only under the leadership of navigators who are truly proficient in navigation can ships find the right path and land on the island. It can be said that this island is a It’s quite a testing place for navigators.

The navigator of the Spade Pirates was a bald man, a little older, named Spry. He seemed to have quite a lot of experience. When he saw the surrounding seas, he immediately ordered the Spade to slow down and cautiously near.

Because Ian couldn't see the situation under the water, he couldn't feel the danger of this sea area. However, after Spry explained to everyone, he realized the danger in this sea area, and at the same time he couldn't help but ask with some doubts. : “If it’s so dangerous, why do navy patrol boats still come here?”

Spry shrugged and said: "Who knows, but I have heard that this turbulent sea area is a natural barrier. This maze island seems to be the stronghold of a certain pirate group. Maybe the navy is here for this." Here comes the pirates.”

Ian frowned and said, "You mean, the patrol ship encountered pirates here, and because of the pursuit, it was led to the reef group and ran aground on the rocks and sank?"

"It is indeed possible!" Spry said: "To be honest, sometimes the pirate navigators are more powerful than the navy's navigators!"

Ian didn't speak, but he still felt a little strange. It was impossible for the navy not to know the dangers of this sea area. How could they be foolishly lured here by pirates?

Everything can only be known after we find those naval soldiers who died.

While Ian and Spry were talking, Ace was squatting on the bow of the ship, holding a telescope to look around. However, the sky was getting dark at this time, and there was some fog on the sea, making it difficult to see. Clear.

But at this moment, Ace shouted in surprise: "Ah, I found them! They are over there!"

Ian took his binoculars and looked over. Sure enough, about two nautical miles ahead, there was a large rock protruding from the sea. Several figures were standing on the rock, looking desperately towards it. He waved the torch in his hand as a signal.

It can be vaguely seen that these figures are indeed wearing navy uniforms.

But Ian always felt something was wrong.

Then suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he asked: "Since their ship hit a rock and sank, then they must have fallen into the water, right?"

Spry nodded, isn't that for sure?

"Then how do they light their torches?" Ian asked.

Spli was stunned immediately!
