As soon as Moonlight appeared, Drake immediately became vigilant, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Judging from the information collected, this person is the big Pirates who has a bounty of 200 million.
The bounty is higher than that of captain Straw Hat Kid Luffy, and one person supports half of Straw Hat Crew's empire.
Jonathan's pupils shrank, but he was calmer than Drake.
"I want to take away this gold, do you have any objection?"
Moonlight smiled faintly, ignored them, and pointed to the gold behind the screen.
"You do..."
Hearing this, Drake was furious and was about to speak. Suddenly Jonathan stretched out his hand to stop him and said with a smile:
"Of course I have no objection, after all, this is your thing."
"Okay."
Hearing this, Moonlight nodded, removed the screen, packed all the gold, and then left gracefully under the gazes of Jonathan and Drake.
"Master Vice Admiral, he is Pirates, how could you let him leave!"
Seeing Moonlight leave, Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief. He seemed to be worried about something, and his expression became more solemn.
At this time, Drake shouted angrily and was about to pursue him.
"Major Drake, you'd better not chase him, if you are sure that you can stay awake in front of that man."
Jonathan did not stop him, but picked up the telescope, looked at the sea of the fortress from the window, and said calmly.
"What!"
Upon hearing this, Drake paused immediately.
He thought of the latest information he had collected about Moonlight.
Loguetown, defeated the navy by one person.
East Blue, defeated Admiral East Blue alone.
Alabasta, Colonel Smoker and Hina joined forces and were defeated again.
This is just the Navy's record.
Pirates, East Blue Arlong, Baroque Works, Crocodile of Shichibukai, these strong ones are no match for him.
This man has never failed!
As Jonathan said, in front of such a man, he is just a joke.
"But how could we let him leave like this? This..."
Drake gritted his teeth, his face full of reluctance.
"Who said we were going to let him go?"
Hearing this, Jonathan suddenly smiled confidently and looked at the sea outside the window, feeling confident.
"Master Vice Admiral, you..."
Hearing this, Drake was immediately stunned and looked at Jonathan with disbelief. He couldn't believe what else could Master Vice Admiral, who in his eyes only knew how to fish and play chess, do anything else!
"Major, go and give the order for everyone to evacuate. Don't intercept Straw Hat Crew. Let them leave."
Jonathan did not explain, but ordered.
"This..."
Drake hesitated, what kind of bullshit order is this.
But seeing the confidence on Jonathan's face, he held back what he wanted to say.
He vaguely saw again that Lord Vice Admiral, who had scolded Fang Qiu and guided the country, was back again.
"Luffy, Zoro, Nami, everyone!"
At this time, Going Merry had been repaired in the dock, and everyone gathered at Going Merry.
After searching hard, everyone finally reunited again.
Seeing this, Moonlight said hello from a distance.
"Moonlight!"
"That's our gold!"
"Moonlight, did you get our gold back?"
Seeing Moonlight, everyone was overjoyed and waved their hands.
Usopp's sharp eyes saw the gold behind Moonlight at a glance, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Not bad."
Moonlight nodded.
Then before Nami pounced on him, he quickly put the gold down.
I saw Nami pounced on the gold fiercely and refused to let go.
"Okay, let's rush out at once."
Luffy cheered, and everyone drove Going Merry towards the fortress.
During this period, everyone in the fortress gained something. Robin even obtained the map of the fortress. Nami was responsible for observing the sea currents. Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, and Moonlight were responsible for protecting Going Merry.
Because their current situation is still not good.
Usopp took the helm and the group drove out of the dock and headed towards the exit of the fortress.
The journey went very smoothly, even so smoothly that we didn't encounter a single navy person, as if the navy had given up in the face of them.
"Strange, why can't I see a single navy figure? Are they scared?"
Chopper The first one means strange.
Usopp was so proud that he immediately shouted:
"They must have heard my Usopp and Daimyo, and they were too scared to come out."
Hearing this, Zoro curled his lips:
"If you want to say whose Daimyo scares you so much that you dare not come out, it should be Moonlight."
Sanji nodded in agreement.
"It is possible. After all, Moonlight is the big Pirates with a bounty of 200 million. However, the owner of this fortress is Jonathan Vice Admiral. This man has always been known for his resourcefulness and scheming. His friend is Marine Admiral Akainu. It is unlikely that he will give up because of fear."
Robin analyzed.
"Indeed, if that wily Vice Admiral gives up the naval pursuit and chooses to do so even though he knows that the fortress gate cannot stop us, then his only chance is to do something in the sea."
Hearing this, Moonlight nodded.
Vice Admiral is such a person, he doesn't believe he would give up like this.
Since the naval pursuit has been abandoned and the fortress cannot stop them, the only way is to make a fuss about this current.
But who can control the sea?
"No, I understand, Usopp, change the direction quickly, everyone, we have been fooled."
At this time, Nami, who had been observing the sea currents, suddenly reacted and shouted in panic.
"Huh?"
"Nami?"
"Okay!"
Seeing this, everyone was shocked at first and didn't understand why Nami suddenly panicked.
But as the only navigator on the ship, everyone was unambiguous about Nami's words.
Suddenly Going Merry changed direction and was about to return to the dock.
However, it was already too late.
They saw the sea current suddenly retreating very quickly towards the outside of the fortress. Although everyone tried their best to move forward, they could not cross the current very quickly if they sailed against the current.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the currents were drained, and Going Merry was stranded in the center of the fortress.
How can a ship move without currents?
"It's low tide!"
At this time, everyone suddenly realized Satori, the tide was ebbing.
Baron Fortress's sea current has a characteristic that it ebbs at four or five o'clock in the morning every day. By then, there will not be a drop of water in the entire fortress.
Therefore, not a single navy ship was launched.
It turned out that they had calculated everything long ago. Luffy They did not understand the characteristics of the sea water in this area. In addition, it was dark. Even if Nami was proficient in navigation, they could not judge the low tide with limited vision.
Now Going Merry was stranded in the center of the fortress, unable to move.
In this position, everyone has become a target. Once the navy sets fire, they will definitely die.
And all of this is Jonathan's calculation.
Step by step, he plotted against everyone and led them into a desperate situation. It can be said that he has the wisdom to control the overall situation.
At the same time, the darkness dissipated, and the sun jumped above the horizon, overflowing with golden light and shining brightly.
It's dawn!
"General!"
At this time, a door was opened in the center of the fortress, and Jonathan came out with all the navy.
In the base, countless cannons were locked on Going Merry, and even many heavy weapons were pushed out.
It is not difficult to imagine how many weapons there are in a fortress base.
Now they can't escape.
"Damn it, I was tricked!"
Nami couldn't help but said bitterly.
Although it was due to the darkness and unfamiliarity with the currents, for her, a navigator who pursues perfection, it was a shame that everyone was stranded and trapped in a desperate situation because she failed to judge!
"There is nothing we can do about it. Miss Nami, no matter how powerful you are, you still can't tell the ebbing tide under such conditions."
Sanji quickly stepped forward to comfort him.
"A siege? Just in time, you can try my swordsmanship to see if it improves!"
Zoro came out with three swords and was ready to attack.
Usopp's face was pale, but at this time, he rarely gave up. He opened his slingshot and was ready to take action at any time. However, looking at Going Merry at his feet, he sighed:
"I'm sorry Merry, I just repaired it for you and it's going to be damaged again!"
Robin said nothing, unfolded Flower-Flower Fruit's ability, and prepared to attack.
Chopper also transformed bravely and prepared to fight.
Luffy is gearing up and eager to fight!
Moonlight's eyes flashed and he looked at Jonathan, the leader of the navy:
"It seems you still don't give up!"
Hearing this, Jonathan smiled confidently:
"Of course I won't give up, but facing the current situation, a man like you is helpless."
"Straw Hat Crew, now I give you a chance to surrender immediately, otherwise we will be shattered into pieces together with your ship."
Drake roared and issued a final announcement!
"Surrender, life will be great."
Jonathan said lightly.
Straw Hat Crew is like a turtle in a urn, and there will be no chance again.
This time he completely defeated Straw Hat Crew and forced him to a dead end.
All navies are fully prepared and will take action at any time.
Countless cannon muzzles were aimed at Going Merry, locked on them, and if Straw Hat Crew refused, they would be killed without mercy.
Although the navy is merciful, it will not be merciful in killing Pirates.
"Is there nothing you can do?"
"Is it a dead end?"
"Surrender is impossible!"
"Fight!"
Straw Hat Crew, with firm eyes and sneers.
How could Pirates surrender?
Now it's time to have a head-on fight.
Suddenly, Moonlight pushed aside everyone and came to the bow of the ship, with a blue light flashing in his eyes:
"Conqueror's Haki!"
