Pirates: Davy Jones is the captain of the Dread Ghost

Chapter 46: We have the advantage in the war of annihilation
Dasqi carefully glanced at his immediate superior, Smoker, and saw that he just shook off the information and had no intention of speaking, so he adjusted his glasses and continued to introduce.

"This is 'Joker' Bucky, with a bounty of 2500 million Baileys. He and his pirate group originally occupied Orange Town, but were later recruited by Davy Jones, and his pirate group was disbanded. He ate' The fruit can be split into pieces, capable of splitting the body at will."

Bucky actually had more information, but the confidentiality level was quite high, and Dusky couldn't find it. If Lieutenant General Garp came, he could directly tell Bucky's past secrets.

"Finally, this is the top priority of this extermination war." Dasqi pasted the picture of Davy Jones on the whiteboard and placed it on top of several other pictures, representing his leadership status.

"'David Jones, the King of Hell in the Deep Sea,' has a bounty of 5000 million Baileys. He is suspected of being a fishman, and no clear signs of Devil Fruit abilities have been found, but since he can conquer Bucky, Crowe, and Arrita, his combat power should be Not low."

"Sirs, the above is the information about Davy Jones' group. No new members have been found yet. Thank you."

Dasqi bowed to everyone, then walked to the corner and stood there consciously.

Everyone was looking at the reward orders and information. For a moment, no one spoke in the entire meeting hall, only the sound of turning pages.

After a long time, Smoker finally asked: "Is Colonel Lipa of the 153rd Branch here?"

Lipa quickly stood up from the chair.

"You don't have to stand up." Smoker's words made Lipa freeze. "Just sit down. Your branch is the first naval unit to encounter Davy Jones and his gang. Please explain to us in detail what happened at that time. Condition."

"Yes, Chief Smoker!"

In the next 10 minutes, Lipa used very simple words to describe the entire process of the former branch colonel Mengka leading the soldiers to fight against Davy Jones's black ship.

"In other words, you didn't actually witness how Mengka died, right?" Smoker pointed out the key points calmly, "In addition, the weather was stormy at the time, and it started to rain when our warship left the port. ?"

"Uh... no." Lipa shook his head. Under Smoker's gaze, he felt his throat was dry and itchy and his lips were chapped. He couldn't help but pick up the tea cup and take a sip.

Smoker narrowed his eyes: "In other words, this storm is not normal. Not a single shell fired by your warship hit the black ship, right?"

"Yes...yes." Cold sweat dripped from Lipa's forehead.

"When your warship was approaching the black ship, cannons appeared on its hull without warning, right?"

"Yes."

"After your warship was sunk, most of the hull fragments disappeared without a trace. According to your original words, it was 'eaten' by the black ship, right?"

"Yes." Lipa could only reply so hard now, and then lowered his head, feeling deeply ashamed.

After hearing Smoker's questioning, the people at the long table all made eye contact quietly, and then sat upright again.

"Colonel Phil." Smoker called the name of another branch colonel. Lipa finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Phil immediately tensed up after being named.

"Sir Smoker!"

"The infamous 'sea black market' was located in your jurisdiction when it was busted, right?"

"Yes."

"What did those wealthy people say afterward?"

Phil told the truth, but he didn't mention who provided the information.

Smoker didn't ask, because he knew that asking would be in vain:
"Now, we know that Davy Jones and his gang can summon storms. The black ship is very flexible and has hidden cannons. It can engulf ships and cut them open. There are at least two Devil Fruit users on the ship. Almost every All the crew members used to be famous pirates in the East China Sea."

His sharp eyes scanned the crowd: "Does anyone know more?"

Everyone lowered their heads under the pressure of his gaze. Only Tina raised her head and pursed her lips, thinking about something.

At this time, Colonel Mouse suddenly raised his body slightly so that Smoker could see him: "Sir Smoker, I have something to report to you, everyone..."

"If you have anything to say, just say it!" Smoker, who had always disliked this glib Colonel Mouse, interrupted directly. "Yes, yes." Colonel Mouse licked his lips, "Not long ago, Captain Hebodi's men arrived in my jurisdiction and informed me of the unfortunate death of Captain Hebodi in the line of duty."

"what?!"

There was an uproar in the meeting hall, like pouring oil into a hot pot and adding water immediately. Everyone was talking and looking surprised.

Smoker hammered the table with his fist to silence everyone. He frowned and said, "Colonel Mouse, tell me clearly, what exactly happened?"

"It's like this. Captain Heboldy brought two warships to hunt down the remnants of the Creek Pirates. Everything went smoothly, but they encountered Davy Jones's black ship on the way..."

Davy Jones?

Is it him again?
After all, Colonel Mouse was not at the scene, and he received the report from the jurisdiction through the phone bug. He didn't know the whole process of Hebodi's death, so he could only give a brief explanation.

Everyone either shook their heads and sighed, or was quite indignant. After all, another one of their own died unexpectedly, and they all died at the hands of the same pirate.

In addition, this also casts a shadow over this annihilation war. After all, judging from the two direct naval battles between the black ships and the navy, it seems impossible to win by relying solely on the firepower and speed of the warships. .

They looked at each other, their confidence inevitably shaken compared to when they first arrived in Rogge Town.

Smoker stood up, finally took out the cigar from his arms, and lit it as if no one was watching.

"I know that there are some 'rumors' and 'stories' circulating within the Navy recently."

Tina didn't stop him this time, because even she wanted to light a cigarette now.

"What's the 'invincible king of the deep sea awakens from his seal', what's the 'terrifying Davy Jones' cabinet', what's the 'black ship that brings doom', what's the 'source of the vicious pirate game on Beehive Island'... in Fueled by the World Economic News, people within the Navy are also panicking."

Smoker held the cigar between his fingers, turned his back to the crowd, and blew a smoke ring toward the photo of Davy Jones on the whiteboard.

"I hope that we will never hear such nonsense again in the future. 'Rumors' and 'stories' will only amplify the panic in the hearts of soldiers. Don't forget that the two big words 'Justice' behind the uniforms we wear stand for What are you looking for? We have no excuse to back down."

Smoker's stern tone silenced the entire meeting hall, and even the sound of someone swallowing saliva could be heard.

"Not to mention, this annihilation battle will be led by Lieutenant General Garp, assisted by Colonel Tina and I, plus the heads of all branches in the East China Sea. If Davy Jones and his gang are really allowed to pass through the Upside Down Mountains and entering the Grand Line, then we will all become a joke."

Everyone was shocked and realized the seriousness of the matter.

They felt goosebumps just imagining the storm of public opinion that would follow if Davy Jones failed to be captured or killed in this extermination campaign.

"Ahem." Tina, with long pink hair, also stood up. "What Colonel Smoker means is that although the task of this extermination battle is arduous, the navy still has a huge advantage."

"That's right." Smoker turned around, "Dozens of warships versus one black ship, thousands of people versus four pirates, the advantage is ours! I, Smoker Smoker, even if I have to bet on the navy For the sake of the honor of our colonel, we must also intercept and kill them before they enter the Grand Line!"

Everyone also stood up.

"I'm also willing to bet my honor as a navy!"

"Never live up to the name of 'justice'!"

"We must cut off Davy Jones' head to avenge his dead compatriots!"

Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, everyone in the meeting hall cheered up and vowed to win this war of annihilation.

After the meeting, Smoker stood alone by the window, looking at the skyline. Even his friend Tina and his subordinate Dasqi were driven away by him.

"Now the last and most important piece of the puzzle is missing." Smoker tapped the window glass with his fingers. "When Lieutenant General Garp arrives, we will have laid out a dragnet and waited for Davy Jones and the others to come to our door automatically. .”
