Pirates: Davy Jones is the captain of the Dread Ghost

Chapter 240 Assemble the pirate fleet and prepare for war

A crow fluttered and landed among the lush branches. The black oil on its feathers melted like water, filling the air like black smoke.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah--"

It made a weird cry, and then was possessed by a higher will. It tilted its head slightly, blinked its scarlet eyes from time to time, and stared at the hillside in the distance.

"Hoo--snap!"

The initial excitement after Bolki ate the "Target Fruit" has passed, and she began to practice hard and develop her "fruit abilities".

Bartolomeo, who can create "barriers", actively and cheerfully serves as her training partner.

One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer.

Porchi threw the iron rod again and again, she threw it in every direction, but every time the iron rod would stab Bartolomeo, who became the "target".

Bartolomeo had a "barrier" to defend and block him. He was not afraid at all, but was in high spirits.

Porchi was able to easily become familiar with and master the "Target Fruit Ability".

Davy Jones watched this scene silently through the eyes of the crow in the Mansion of Horrors.

He would occasionally send out crows to fly in the direction of the scary ghost island that interested him, and through their eyes, he could know all the changes.

But they couldn't fly too far away from Davy Jones, or their presence would disappear like smoke.

tuk tuk-

There was a steady and rhythmic knock on the door, and Davy Jones broke off contact with one of the crows and stood in front of the window sill without looking back.

"Come in." Davy Jones knew who was coming, he could sense it.

Arrita walked in, holding her favorite white hat under her arm, gently tossing her wavy black hair, and then cautiously said hello to the captain.

Then she started to get down to business: "Captain, Mr. Jinbei said that he will arrive at the Scary Ghost Island soon, along with six new ships built by Fishman Island."

In this way, the Terror Ghost, the pirate ships of the "Supernovas", the confiscated ships, and the newly built ships all add up to 25 ships.

That's how many Davy Jones' pirate fleets currently have.

This is just a warship. If you include cargo ships and passenger ships, there could be more.

The pirate fleet of the "Whitebeard Pirates" at its peak had 44 warships, and the "Big Mom Pirates" now has 35 warships. In terms of numbers, "Big Mom" ​​has an advantage.

It's not that the two "Four Emperors" couldn't build more ships, but the cost of maintaining the ships was quite high.

However, it didn't matter how many ships Charlotte Ringling had, Davy Jones never intended to engage in a naval battle comparing the numbers of warships.

"Yes." Davy Jones nodded and asked, "Is there any movement over Charlotte Lingling?"

"Captain, I was about to report to you." Arrita said based on the information collected from the intelligence dealer, "She has made a move, and it is very big."

"What do you mean?"

"The ships of the 'Kingdom of Totland' all dispatched to search for supplies on nearby islands. Wherever they went, they basically turned into seas of fire and ruins."

Arrita paused and continued.

"In previous years, the 'Big Mom Pirates' would only make such a big move before the 'Tea Party'. This time it happened suddenly, so many islands were caught off guard."

"The fleet of the 'Big Mom Pirates' is also gathering and should be heading towards us."

The "tea party" Arrita talks about is a gathering that Charlotte Lingling forcibly gathers her family and subordinates to satisfy her appetites and quirks, just like a little girl's "playing house".

The core is that no one can disobey Charlotte Lingling, and everyone must fulfill her wishes, no matter how outrageous they are.

Some people outside the family are invited to attend, some are honored by it, others are deeply apprehensive.

Because they have seen "aunt" being unreasonable, crazy and angry.

She is such a terrifying monster!

This is known as "Auntie's Tea Party". "Continue to gather information." Davy Jones said at this time, "Let Crocodile be ready. When Jinbe arrives, we will set off to the front line tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Arrita bowed in agreement and slowly exited the room.

At noon, Jinbei arrived at the Horror Ghost Island with six ships and met Davy Jones immediately.

Accompanying the ship are a group of murlocs, mermaid pirates, "North Sea Kraken" Kulaken, "Manatee" Moo Moo and a number of sea beasts.

Aladdin and part of the Sun Pirates stayed on Fish-Man Island to maintain order.

Davy Jones asked the blue-skinned fish man to rest first, and then asked Crocodile if he was ready.

Crocodile's response was ready.

In the early morning of the next day, when there was still thick fog on the sea, Davy Jones's fleet set off collectively from the Terror Ghost Island with great momentum.

But their destination is neither Black Pearl Island, Thunder God Island, Flying Dutchman Island, or Punk Hassad Island, but a desert island outside the existing territory.

This desert island is outside the edge of Davy Jones's territory. It is not far from Thor Island and Punk Hassad Island. It is on the only route that the "Big Mom Pirates" must pass through to attack.

Davy Jones named it the "Isle of Silence", meaning the place where Charlotte Ringling was silenced.

It took the pirate fleet nearly a day to get from the Terror Ghost Island to the Silent Island.

Crowe and Luo had already gathered on Silent Island and built a base camp in advance - a gray castle located among the mountains.

Davy Jones asked Crocodile to be responsible for the deployment of logistics supplies, and also asked Jinbei's fishmen, mermaids, and sea beasts to sneak into the sea and guard around the Silent Island.

Arrita is still inquiring about the movements of the "Big Mom Pirates" from information dealers in the underground world, sometimes through businessmen and travelers.

In fact, this is not very difficult.

Because "Big Mom"'s pirate fleet is too high-profile.

Before "Whitebeard" attacks Navy Headquarters Maryford, he will also disguise himself and secretly coat it to prevent the Navy from discovering it.

It was not until the last moment that the fleet of the "Whitebeard Pirates" dived into the seabed and penetrated directly into the defense line of the Navy headquarters through the undersea route.

In order to gather everything needed for the war in just one week, Perospero, one of the core members of the "Big Mom Pirates" and the eldest son of Charlotte Lingling, had to mobilize with great fanfare and strength.

The scale even exceeded the manpower used to search for all kinds of desserts and pastry ingredients before the "tea party", and attracted the attention of quite a few people.

In addition, Charlotte Lingling has a huge appetite and is "thinking about eating". Once she can't eat delicious food or what she wants to eat, she will go crazy.

And once Charlotte Lingling falls into madness, she will attack her without any recognition of her relatives. It is not surprising that she will sink all 35 of her ships.

They assembled the fleet in such a hasty and chaotic manner, and they wanted the whole world to know and scrape away all the resources nearby. It was difficult not to let people know their movements.

The more people they kill along the way and the more islands they destroy, the harder it becomes to hide the movements of their fleet.

The people who arrived at the Silent Island one step ahead of Davy Jones were not idle either.

Crowe and Luo seize the time to train the fleet. They don't ask for orders and prohibitions, as long as they can understand the basic orders.

The cadres under them became the commanders of one or several ships.

At this moment, neither the Davy Jones Pirates nor the Big Mom Pirates openly declared war, but they knew full well that they were already at odds.

The storm is coming, and the people of the "New World" are first aware of the possible battle between the "Four Emperors", then the entire "Great Line", and then the outer "Four Seas".

All parties are always paying attention to the movements of both parties.

None of them expected that the "War on Top" broke out at the end of last year, which severely damaged the vitality of both warring parties. The "Whitebeard Remnants" stayed in a corner, and the Navy Headquarters shrank its front.

At the beginning of this year, a "battle between the old and new four emperors" is about to begin. No matter who wins or loses, at least one of the "four emperors" will surely lose.

Everyone began to have a premonition that these few years would be the most complicated, complicated, and far-reaching years since the beginning of the "Great Pirate Age."
