Pirate: My partner is too crooked

Chapter 140: Bombardment of the News Agency Headquarters, Aqua’s Super Bad Luck

With Aqua, who can do something fun anytime and anywhere, the boring training is not so boring.

A week passed quietly in this kind of fighting.

After intense training, Lin Zhi's armed domination has been significantly improved, and he can add it to the power of thunder and cliff sword at will, making the destructive power of these two special abilities even greater.

The already strong body defense has also become stronger with the rising tide, becoming quite resistant to beatings.

In addition, Aqua's water vapor field, Meow Meow's Infinite Dream transformation, and King's muscle training have all achieved remarkable results!

In the evening when the sun was setting, Lin Zhi sat on the sofa where Aqua often lay, drinking black tea and reading the newspaper leisurely.

The scene outside showed a slowly rising trend - at this time, the Infinite Dream had left the dangerous cloud flow and began to float from an altitude of [-] meters to the great shipping route below.

Compared with the thrilling and rapid descent of the original Straw Hats, their return to the blue sea was quite comfortable.

Looking from the outside, above the Infinite Dream with its sails retracted, a large meow hot air balloon was connected to both sides of the ship and was slowly descending under the breeze.

When it comes to building hot air balloons, Meow Meow is definitely the expert among experts.

For this level of black technology, it is as simple as eating and drinking.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the Infinite Dream, which was pulled by the hot air balloon. It was like being coated with a layer of gold, and the entire ship was bathed in soft light.

The brightly colored fire clouds serve as the perfect background, stretching endlessly across the sky.

A row of white seagulls flapped their wings and neatly passed over the hot air balloon.

The whole picture is full of tranquility and peace.

If the group of seagulls weren't wearing hats and carrying newspaper tubes, people would almost forget that this is the violent and cruel world of pirates!
On the second deck, King looked up at the unique lucky cat hot air balloon and asked the meow beside him:

"Meow meow, didn't you equip the bottom of the boat with a blast shell? That would also allow the boat to land smoothly. Why would you bother to get a hot air balloon?"

Hearing this, Miao Miao's cute and yet sinister cat face immediately showed a trace of matter-of-factness: "Returning to the majestic sea, of course, I have to make a more cool and gorgeous debut, Meow!"

Seeing King's brows frowning slightly, Meow raised a cat's paw in front of him and shook it, sighing seriously: "Even a strong man like you, King, still has things that are difficult to understand, Meow."

King: "..."

So "a more cool and gorgeous way to appear" refers to a hot air balloon?
"Oh, this question is not important!"

Aqua, who was standing on the bow of the ship, waved her hands repeatedly, her aqua blue eyes flashing with anticipation and excitement, "Hurry up and show me that secret weapon you just mentioned, meow!"

When they were having dinner in the restaurant just now, Meow Meow mysteriously said that while it was using gold to transform the Infinite Dream, it also loaded the bow of the ship with amazingly powerful weapons, successfully fishing out the curiosity of the stupid goddess. .

That's why she couldn't wait to come to the deck.

"Hey, don't be frightened when you see it later, meow!"

Mentioning the secret weapon, Miao Miao's mouth instantly turned into a smile of satisfaction.

It pretended to be indifferent and took a cat-walk, came to the bow of the ship, jumped hard, and jumped on the statue of the goddess Aqua on the bow of the ship.

Upon seeing this, Aqua and King couldn't help but move their bodies a little closer, watching as Meow Meow stretched out her cat paw and pressed it on the red button in the circle above the statue of the goddess.

Drop~
The sound of gears turning was heard, and the goddess statue's mouth slowly opened, glowing with a crimson light.

High-temperature flames continue to accumulate and compress inside it, and finally condense into a thermal energy beam with astonishing destructive power and bombard it.

boom!
Where the beam passed, the air flow was turbulent and the white clouds dispersed. At the end area hundreds of meters away, a small mushroom cloud of billowing black smoke exploded.

Yes, this is the main gun of the Infinite Dream created by Meowth by referring to Kaido's Heat Roar and combining it with Sky Island technologies such as Platoon Shell and Flame Shell!
"Wow! War Fortress, is this the super artillery that only War Fortress has?!"

Aqua's intelligent eyes sparkled with light, and she forced Miaomiao off the goddess statue, staring at the red button with interest.

With her whole mind focused on novelty gadgets, she even ignored that the hot breath came out of the mouth of her statue, which was an act that blasphemed the prestige of the goddess.

Meowth, who had been pushed away, jumped back and said seriously to Aqua: "Be careful, this cannon is very powerful, Meowth!"

"Oh, it's no problem if you let me try it. Is it possible to blow up people at an altitude of several thousand meters? Don't worry!"

Aqua, who became more playful, began to turn the muzzle of the gun to find the bombardment target, "You are right next to me, so you can witness the precise strikes of this goddess~"

"Okay, meow."

Forced by the power of the goddess of water, Miao Miao finally retreated from the statue of the goddess.

Seeing Aqua's excited look, King, who had been with her for a long time, couldn't help but said, "Hey, do you need to inform Lin Zhi?"

The domineering eyes showed a serious expression.

Having ventured all the way here, he was well aware of the trouble-making ability of this beautiful girl companion in front of him.

"What a big deal, don't worry about that idiot Lin Zhi."

Aqua directly dismissed King's concerns.

This place is thousands of meters high in the sky, and there are only white clouds and seagulls. Not to mention that she is not the kind of goddess who likes to get into trouble (she thinks she is). Even if she is, there is no chance of getting into trouble!
……

While several people were arguing, Lin Zhi, who was staying in the restaurant on the first floor, was focusing most of his attention on the newly published newspaper in his hand.

He knew in advance the secret weapon mentioned by Meow Meow, so he did not go to the deck with Aqua and the others to visit.

[The new world pattern changes again!Following the fishman Jinbei, the new member of the Shichibukai under the King has been confirmed, and his name is Tenyasha - Don Quixote Doflamingo]

On the spread newspaper, bright red and eye-catching headlines came into view.

Lin Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Doflamingo with his hands spread out and his arrogant posture on the newspaper.

Judging from the timeline, Doflamingo probably attacked the Celestial Dragon ship filled with sky gold when they left Pika Island.

Using the secret of Marigio's "national treasure" as a bargaining chip, he successfully obtained the identity of the Shichibukai.

In other words, Dressrosa has now become the property of the Don Quixote family and has become Doflamingo's base for underground weapons trading!

'I just don't know who is stronger or weaker now compared to the original timeline? '

Lin Zhi thought secretly in his heart.

Since we have decided to aim at being the strongest in the world, sooner or later we will meet a black and white hero like Doflamingo in the new world.

If the manipulated kingdom of Dressrosa can be liberated in the name of the Goddess of Water, then it will definitely be a big deal for Aqua to gain the power of faith!

Similarly, there is naturally Alabasta, which is controlled by the sand crocodile Crocodile.

It just so happens that today's newspaper also has news about Lao Sha.

The content is that Crocodile, the Shichibukai, as a national hero, defeated the pirates who tried to invade Alabasta and successfully protected the people's property safety.

All in all, it is to promote the positive image of King Shichibukai as much as possible. As for the actual situation, it is unknown...

Looking to the corner of the newspaper, Lin Zhi saw a familiar name and back illustration. [A battle broke out between the Cook Pirates and the Storm Pirates, and both pirate ships were submerged by the storm]

The captain of the Cook Pirates was none other than Captain Barati of the Sea Restaurant, Red-Footed Zepp.

According to the development of the original plot, Zhepu and Xiao Sanji will probably live on a desert island and start a long and difficult life of starvation.

"If you have the chance, you can take a look around that sea area." Lin Zhi murmured in a low voice.

Zhepu, who even ate his own right leg in order to fill Sanji's stomach, was indeed a real man!

Thinking of this, Lin Zhi slowly put down the newspaper, picked up the black tea next to him and was about to take a sip.

Suddenly, there was a "boom", as if being attacked, the slowly falling Infinite Dream shook violently, and the whole restaurant was jolted.

What kind of plane are those people above doing?
Lin Zhi frowned slightly and disappeared into a jumping arc.

The next second, he appeared on the deck where Aqua and others were.

call out!
Almost at the same time, the dark and cold shells broke through the air and flew straight towards the Infinite Dream.

Obviously, the violent movement just now came from this!

Meow Meow, who had been attacked once, stood next to the operating platform under the mast, stretched out his cat paw and pressed a blue button.

The wooden board in the middle of the mast opened immediately, and a rocket with the letter "R" printed on it was launched, accurately hitting the oncoming shell.

boom!
The two shells collided in the air, exploding into a circle of bright and hot flames.

The resulting thick smoke obscured the view ahead. Lin Zhi looked at Meow and King and asked aloud: "Meow, King, what's going on?"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Before Meow Meow and King could reply, the sound of the idiot goddess whistling could be heard in their ears.

Looking sideways, I saw Aqua standing at the bow of the boat, tilting her head, pouting her mouth and blowing continuously, showing an innocent attitude of "having nothing to do with me."

As everyone knows, in Lin Zhi's eyes, this kind of stupid behavior is no different from cheating!
"It's really you, idiot!"

Lin Zhi came to Aqua in an instant, pinched her tender cheeks unceremoniously, and scolded: "Tell me the truth, what the hell have you done again?!"

Aqua, who was already feeling guilty, didn't dare to resist, so she could only keep waving her hands and saying, "No, it's nothing, I just fired a cannon at a deserted island!"

"We have already left the area where the empty island is. Where did the desert island come from at such a height?" Lin Zhi's mouth twitched.

"That's right, it's white clouds, yes! Just ordinary clouds!" Aqua's intelligent eyes flickered.

call out!
As if to refute her feeble explanation, another cannonball broke through the smoke and hit the hot air balloon on the Infinite Dream from the opposite side.

Meow Meow took it calmly and skillfully fired the interceptor shells.

"Then please tell me, what kind of white cloud can launch cannonballs?" Lin Zhi asked Aqua's side face.

"Hai, no matter what happens in the world of pirates, it is not surprising. This is not you. You told me."

Aqua wanted to continue to quibble, but was forced by Lin Zhi's eyes that seemed to be able to kill a god, so she honestly admitted, "Okay, actually, it was the goddess cannon I made with Meow Meow that blasted a suspected airship." Baiyun..."

"Bai Yun, suspected of being an airship? Did you do it on purpose or accidentally?"

"no no……"

"Ok?"

"On purpose, because I really want to know whether it is a white cloud or an airship."

"..."

The conversation between the two ended abruptly. Lin Zhi let go of Aqua and turned his eyes to look forward.

Within the range of Jian Wen Se Haki's radio waves, he caught a lot of auras "flying" towards this direction.

Whoosh whoosh.

As the white glider flapped, a dozen men in suits and white hats slowly landed on the railing of the Infinite Dream.

Immediately afterwards, a white airship with black smoke coming from its head appeared and stopped about ten meters in front of the Infinite Dream.

"I didn't expect that if I set up my headquarters in the sky with higher security and confidentiality, it would be attacked. I really dare to do it. The dream of a restaurant on the sea is endless!"

Looking along the gloomy voice, it was a figure of a bird with white wings: a big beak, small eyes, a big tail, and white feathers.

In human form, he wears a black top hat, a light blue shirt, a yellow bow tie, and red and white plaid trousers.

The iconic appearance allowed Lin Zhi to recognize the other person's identity instantly.

Morgans, the president of the World Economic News Agency, one of the emperors of the underground world, a person with bird fruit and albatross form abilities, is known as "Big News"!
The cannon that Aqua whipped out with her brain actually hit the headquarters of the World Economic News Agency?

It is indeed a terrifying existence whose bad luck can compete with the king’s overbearing luck...

Even Lin Zhi had to admire Aqua's innate "talent".

At any time, in any place, in any form, there is absolutely no way he can prevent this!

As for why Morgans knew about the existence of the infinite dream of the sea restaurant, it is very easy to understand.

It's not because they are particularly famous, but because the few news stories about them in the East China Sea were published by other newspapers!
I was wondering why you can encounter newspaper-delivering seagulls at an altitude of several thousand meters. The headquarters of Lovers is right in front of you...

Lin Zhi sighed secretly in his heart, while looking up at the angry Morgans opposite, he chuckled softly:

"It turns out to be big news, Mr. Morgans. I'm so sorry. Your concealment skills are so good that we thought it was just a strange-shaped white cloud."

It didn't matter how much he complained about Aqua or even yelled at her in private, but in this situation facing outsiders, he still quite defended the idiot goddess.

No way, who made this guy his partner?
He was not afraid just because the other party was the emperor of the underground world.

Just kidding, even Hyakushou Kaido has faced him head-on, so why would he still be afraid of this kind of character?
"Lord Lin Zhi!"

With tears in Aqua's eyes, she was touched by success for a moment.

"Do you think I will believe such lies to deceive children? Which normal person would shoot at Baiyun!!"

Morgans didn't believe Lin Zhi's unconvincing words at all, and gently waved his arms that turned into wings.

Click, click, click.

The combatants standing on the railing received the order and raised their muskets to aim at the three men and one cat on the deck.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

　I didn't run away. I was dragged on a blind date yesterday, which took too much time.
