It takes about two and a half days from the 18th branch of the East China Sea to the village of Cocosia.
The first half of the day was calm, let alone pirates, not even a single ship was seen, but when the warship traveled more than 100 nautical miles and became farther and farther away from the Eighteen Branch...
It was as if he had broken into the pirate's hometown. In just half a day, he had already encountered two pirate groups, which gave Li Yan a sense of the world of pirates.
These two are the Rotten Tooth Pirates and the Ironclad Pirates.
The one with the highest bounty was the captain of the Ironclad Pirates, with a bounty of 2.5 million. As for the other pirates with a bounty, none exceeded 2 million.
But what I have to say is that, just like the pirates seen by Li Yan in the previous life, these weak pirate groups are really more than one wonderful thing.
The people of the Rotten Teeth Pirates are all mouths full of rotten teeth, while the Ironclad Pirates have a few steel plates tied to their bodies for protection.
Li Yan, who was not very interested or even a little distasteful about it, directly threw them to Larnas and other sailors to practice.
Even if he can only get half of the merit value, Li Yan can't solve the pirates with the bounty by himself every time, otherwise...
How did the seamen under his command obtain military merit?
For the current seamen of the eighteen branches, these two pirates are not a problem, except that when dealing with the captain of the Ironclad Pirates, Larnas suffered some minor injuries, the rest were all solved without injury .
Like those ordinary pirate crew members, in front of the seamen with more than 20 Dao and tacit cooperation, it is really not enough to see.
In this way, the warship continued to move towards the Kokosia Village while cleaning up the pirates it encountered.
Finally, on the second night after departure, the warship was less than 100 nautical miles away from Cocosia Village. Except for the lookout and the helmsman on duty, the rest of the marines, Li Yan, let them rest early.
After all, there is a tough battle to be fought tomorrow.
Perhaps the strength of murlocs is ten times that of humans. This sentence is a joke in the eyes of many powerful people, but it is undeniable that for ordinary sailors, this is definitely not a joke.
Therefore, even the ordinary murlocs in the Evil Dragon Pirates are still a major test for the seamen of the Eighteen Branches.
The visibility at night was very low. Although the watchman on duty was not very careless, he still did not notice that a small boat was coming up through the night.
However, although the lookout didn't find it, it didn't escape Thor's domineering arrogance.
Captain's room.
"Boy, someone is sneaking into the warship. Is this... stealing money?"
Relying on what he saw and heard, Saul seemed to have opened the eyes of God and directly sensed the person's every move clearly.
Originally thought it was a pirate, but in the end, Sol found out that this guy was actually stealing money?
So he said to Li Yan with a strange face.
"Stealing money, shouldn't this thief be a girl?"
After hearing Sol's words, Li Yan was also a little amused. He even remembered Nami whom he had seen in his previous life. It seemed that she always ran off on other people's boats to steal treasures, right?
However, who knew that it was just a random thought, but it became a fact in the next moment...
"How do you know, boy, that the thief is a woman?"
"Uh... She's really a woman, shouldn't she be old and not old?"
"Although I don't have a strong sense of sight, I can't perceive the specific appearance of the other party, but I will definitely not be old, probably no more than 20 years old."
hiss...
Shouldn't he be hit by his own random words?
In the original book, Nami should have gone to sea two years later, when she was nineteen years old, so she should be seventeen now.
And in the East China Sea...
It seems that Nami is the only one who has the guts to sneak into a navy warship to steal?
After all, this girl even dared to go to the naval base to steal something...
Well, behavior, gender, age are all right...
However, this Nami actually ran to her own warship to steal money, she was a bit daring!
"Okay, old man, I roughly know who it is, I'll deal with it!"
After speaking, ignoring Sol's strange look at him, Li Yan picked up Lan Ya and walked out.
At the same time, in a cabin on the warship.
Someone was sneaking in gently, and then, when she saw the things in this cabin, a string of Bailey's symbols flashed in her eyes.
Here, the treasures seized by the Eighteen Branches after defeating the Pirates along the way are piled up.
As one of the famous thieves in the pirate world, she immediately estimated the approximate value of these belongings.
"It's worth at least 5 million Baileys, you've made a fortune!"
"Oh, are these only worth 5 million? It's a bit small!"
"Not much, I said you are..."
Halfway through his words, the thief was stunned, and then cold sweat began to form on his forehead.
There was someone behind me, when did it appear, and why didn't I notice it at all?
Like a robot, he slowly turned around and found that...
A navy colonel held a knife and looked at himself playfully, and his whole body suddenly became bad.
"This is a misunderstanding!"
"Really, I just have time. Can you explain in detail what kind of misunderstanding this is? Miss Nami from Cocosia Village, should I call you the little thief cat?"
Originally, it was ready to be staged. Because of admiration for the navy colonel in front of him, he secretly sneaked into the warship to meet the scene, but Li Yan said that Miss Nami of Hokosia Village directly broke the defense.
Eyes widened, Nami looked at her in disbelief, the man in front of her who was still looking at her with a playful expression.
"who are you?"
"Me, Li Yan, the base chief of the 18th branch of the Navy's East China Sea, is also your immediate boss!"
"My immediate boss, when did I become your subordinate?"
"Well, from today, no, it starts now!"
"Do I agree?"
"You will definitely agree, because I have decided!"
Staring at Li Yan, Nami found that she couldn't communicate with this man at all. No matter what you said, he always continued to talk to himself as if he hadn't heard.
However, it seems that no other marines have noticed the movement here, or...
Stun him with a stick and then take the opportunity to escape?
Thinking like this, Nami gradually touched the package tied to her leg, but she directly touched the empty space and found nothing.
"Are you looking for this?"
Just when Nami looked at the outside of her empty right leg, Li Yan held up a package, a package with a folding stick, and then looked at Nami with a playful face and asked.
"you..."
"If there are no other new tricks, it's better to be like this. After all, I'm tired too. There's still a tough battle to fight tomorrow, come on!"
When Li Yan finished speaking, he immediately shouted loudly.
This frightened Nami.
However, unlike what Nami thought, Li Yan did not order the marines to arrest her after one of the rotating marines heard the shouts and came over, but...
"Go, let Sanders come over immediately!"
"Yes, Colonel!"
Although I am very curious, how come there is one more person on the warship, and she is also a beautiful girl.
But after all, it was Sol who trained the military discipline by himself. Without any nonsense, he immediately prepared and executed the order.
However, hearing this order in Nami's ears did make him a little dazed.
Sanders...
Could it be Uncle Sanders?
After all, there are only so many villagers in Cocosia Village, and Nami knows all of them.
Almost two and a half months ago, one night, Sanders suddenly disappeared from Cocosia Village to look for help from the navy, and then there was no news. Nami also heard about it.
In addition, the direction the warship was heading was the location of the Kokosia Village.
Shouldn't it be...
Suddenly, Nami thought of a certain possibility, but on the other hand, another voice in her heart kept reminding herself that the navy is unreliable, so don't be delusional!
"Colonel!"
After a while, a sailor in a normal uniform entered the cabin and saluted Li Yan and shouted.
"Uncle Sanders!"
"Nami, why are you here?"
When Sanders heard the familiar voice and the familiar name, and then turned to look around, he was also stunned.
I am on a warship, and it is also a moving warship!
How did Nami appear here?
"Colonel, this...?"
"Well, this lady sneaked onto the boat, and was caught by me when she was stealing property."
Saying this, Sandston was in a hurry.
Over the years, Nami became a thief, and the whole village knew about it.
On the surface, the villagers all blamed Nami, but in fact, everyone knows that Nami bought the Cocosia Village from the dragon to save the village.
But no matter how Saunders thought about it, he never thought that Nami would sneak into the colonel's place.
"Colonel, there is a reason for what happened to Nami, can you..."
"You don't need to say it, I know, so I gave her a chance to join our 18th branch, and everything was written off, but she... seems reluctant!"
After listening to the first half of the sentence, Sanders breathed a sigh of relief, but after listening to the second half of the sentence, he immediately became anxious again.
Don't want to?
Hell, I don't want to!
"Colonel, leave it to me, I'll do the ideological work for Nami!"
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. UU reading is done, rest early, and tomorrow we have to deal with the Evil Dragon Pirates!"
"Yes, Colonel!"
Speaking, Li Yan yawned and walked out.
But Nami was not calm at the moment.
"Dragon Pirates, Uncle Sanders, are you going to catch the dragon?"
"Also, where have you gone during this time, and how did you become a famous sea soldier?"
Her eyes widened, and she looked at Sanders in disbelief.
"Well, we started talking about it more than two months ago..."
------
The next morning, Li Yan came to the deck, but Sanders and Nami were already waiting here. Seeing this, the corners of Li Yan's mouth also raised a slight arc.
It is difficult to regain Nami, but it can also be said to be easy, as long as you find the right entry point.
Moreover, it is obviously more effective to let Sanders come than to do it himself. After all, Nami's experience makes him extremely distrust the Navy at this moment, but Sanders is different.
Maybe no matter what Li Yan said, Nami wouldn't believe it, but if Sanders said it, it would be different.
In the end, as long as Nami didn't leave last night, things were half done.
"Colonel, Nami is willing to join the 18th branch and become a sailor!"
"No, I have conditions. I want to witness you capture the dragon and rescue the village of Cocosia. As long as you can do it, I will join your branch!"
After Saunders finished speaking, Nami ignored the gaze Saunders gave her, and then said loudly.
And Li Yan is also very clear that if he wants to truly conquer Nami and make her return to her heart, the last and most crucial step is to take down the Evil Dragon Pirates.
"no problem!"
