Chapter 35 Bad News (seeking collection, seeking recommendation)
O’Hara Wharf, the off-white single dinghy slowly docks.
Compared with when it left, there are some black marks of gunpowder on the ship.
Single-man boats sailing alone on the sea like this and without the slightest obvious mark have always been pirates’ favorite targets for artillery teasing and even attack and robbery.
It was not so obvious when I went to the country of flowers. By the time he returned, Adrian had been attacked by pirates three times, and he had initially felt the impact of Pirate King Roger on the world after his ascent to the top.
The era of the great pirates was indeed officially opened after Roger's execution, but as early as this time, there were already preliminary signs.
The several pirate groups that attacked Adrian were of the very influential kind, and the pirate flags were also quite unknown, and none of the captains offered a reward of more than 5 million Baileys.
Adrian simply used his own way to cure his body, and carried out long-range bombardment on the pirates.
A wave of mini-ghost star fire, all the pirate ships that attacked him were sunk into the sea. The panel information indicated that most of the pirates were only in the early LV20, which barely filled the empty experience slot with some experience points.
Returning from the Flower Country to O'Hara, Adrian spent a total of eight days, and it took more time than before, just to depict the chart of the sea through the sea.
Returning to O'Hara this time, Adrian also plans to borrow a chart of the entire West China Sea from the Library of the All-knowing Tree.
After all, he is not a native of Xihai. He has a little knowledge of many situations in Xihai. O'Hara’s Tree of All-Knowing Library can help him make up for the lack of basic information.
The All-Knowing Tree Library, the lobby on the first floor.
Dr. Kloba, who was still dressed in clover, stopped Adrian who was about to go to the geographic information area to read a book.
"Is there anything wrong? Dr. Kloba?" Adrian asked slightly puzzled.
Is this old doctor preparing to preach to him again?
"Where have you been in the past half a month? Little Robin ran to the library to look for you again and again, but didn't see you." Dr. Kloba first complained, and then went back from A kraft paper envelope was found in the pocket.
What is Robin looking for?
However, Dr. Kloba didn’t say it, and it’s not important to want to come.
Adrian kept thinking, he took the envelope in his hand and asked, "What is this letter?"
Dr. Kloba explained: “On the sixth day after you left O’Hara, a small boat belonging to the Shimizu Chamber of Commerce came to the island. Someone entrusted them to send you a letter, but because they couldn’t find you. People, can only post the letter to me temporarily."
Shimizu Chamber of Commerce?
Adrian searched for a moment in his memory, and quickly found the answer.
Isn’t this Perona’s fleet?
Remember that after obtaining the ghost fruit from Captain Krivat, Adrian also warned Mrs. Penelope that if she encountered something bad, she could send someone to O'Hara for help.
Could it be that something really happened?
Adrian took the letter and apologized to Dr. Kloba, then found an empty place, opened the envelope, and read the contents of the letter paper at a glance.
as predicted!
This is a letter of help from Mrs. Penelope!
Previously, Captain Krivat has said that the ownership of the ghost fruit belongs to the Capone Gang.
However, when the lives of the entire ship were threatened, Captain Krivat broke the routine and paid for the ghost fruit in exchange for Adrian’s help.
Apart from the loss of the ghost fruit and the slight shock to the passengers on the ship, Shimizu has no other losses, and even with the group of easily defeated pirates, in exchange for a sum of money from the nearby naval base, which is not small for ordinary people. Bounty.
However, the things of the Capone Gang are not so easy to take!
Mrs. Penelope wrote to explain the matter.
The letter mentioned that the Capone gang took Captain Krivat away, and there was no news for several days. I am afraid that an accident has occurred.
Ms. Penelope, who had no other way, had to ask Adrian, who had promised before, for help.
Adrian made some calculations in his mind: "The letter from the Shimizu Chamber of Commerce was delivered six days after I left O'Hara. It has been nearly 20 days since I left... Said, it may have been a whole month since Mrs. Penelope wrote the letter!"
Adrian frowned slightly, and after such a long time, I don’t know what bad things will happen.
The only good news at the moment is that the Capone Gang only took Captain Krivat away and left Penelope’s mother and daughter behind, but this is already information from a month ago!
Dr. Kloba didn’t know where he came out, and asked: "Boy Adrian, you don’t look very good. Did something happen?"
"Nothing, Dr. Kloba, I can solve it by myself." Adrian shook his head slightly, he was not going to say more to this old doctor who concentrates on academic research.
As if thinking of something, Adrian suddenly asked again: "By the way, Doctor, do you know the specific address of Outfit Island?"
"Outfit Island?" Dr. Kloba's expression changed, and his tone became anxious, "There is a conflict between you and the Capone Gang?"
As one of the five most famous gangs in the Xihai Underground Society, the Capone Gang is a behemoth that is beyond hope for ordinary people.
Even O’Hara, who is known to be indisputable, has heard of the name of the Capone Gang.
Dr. Kloba thought about it, and quickly understood: "It's that letter... from the Shimizu Chamber of Commerce?"
"Yes, I have a friend from the Shimizu Chamber of Commerce," Adrian briefly explained, "For some reason, he had a conflict with the Capone Gang."
"The Capone Gang, that would be quite troublesome..." Dr. Kloba stroked his beard, looking worried, "Boy Adrian, can you really solve it by yourself?"
Adrian smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"I don't think you are a big talker, you say it should be fine if one person can solve it." Dr. Kloba was moved by Adrian's tone and said, "Then follow me! Otter Philippine Island is the base camp of the Capone Gang. Even our O'Hara has heard of [the island of the gangster]."
Dr. Kloba brought Adrian to the geographic information area, pulled out a roll of charts from the bookshelf, and gave it to Adrian.
"This records the most convenient route from O'Hara Island to Outfit Island. As long as the direction is not wrong, and at the speed of a sailboat, you can get to Outfit Island in two days." "Be safe, kid Adrian."
Adrian's spirits refreshed, and he solemnly said, "Thank you for your help."
Simply packed his belongings, Adrian hurriedly left the Tree of All-Knowing Library. He was not going to go by boat. It was too time-consuming and energy-consuming. He was going to fly directly to Outfit Island this time!
