Chapter 163
The Sonny sailed into the sea of mist in an eerie silence.
The black sky is quiet and gloomy, the wind on the sea howls coldly, and from time to time you can hear the sound of waves lapping against each other.
The deeper you go, the more pure the darkness becomes, without any impurities, like a huge black hole. Except for the spotlight on the bow, there is not a trace of light.
There was deathly silence outside the boat, but it was warm as spring inside.
Luffy and Drago sat at the dining table and stared at each other. Although the man in front of them was his father, it was the first time for Luffy to see him. Even though he was very nervous, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
Not to mention Dorag, the leader of the Revolutionary Army who has always been cold and dignified, has never been involved in the growth of his children, and he doesn't know what to say when facing Luffy.
Seeing the two of them looking at Anne for help many times, she turned her head away without caring, without giving them any face.
Fortunately, there was little angel Sabo. Seeing the awkward atmosphere between the two, he took the initiative to come to their side and talked about interesting things about Luffy's childhood to ease the atmosphere.
Qing Zhi stood in front of the window holding a wine glass, staring quietly at the dark sea.
"I heard that the government intends to choose a successor to the marshal between you and Akainu?"
Anne asked as she handed him the wine glass and asked unceremoniously: "Give me some ice."
Qing Zhi glanced at her, reached out and took her wine glass, activated his ability, and the wine in the glass overflowed with a hint of coldness.
"As expected, you have arranged an informant in the navy."
After taking the glass and drinking it in one gulp, Annie nodded.
"I originally thought that Marshal Sengoku would remove all my nails after being exposed last time. Unexpectedly, he actually didn't move at all. This is really beyond my expectation."
"Marshal Sengoku has taken the initiative to submit an application to resign. However, since Sakaski has not yet recovered, the position of marshal will still be temporarily held by him."
Hearing the undisguised calmness and casualness in Qing Pheasant's tone, Annie was a little curious.
"What you mean by this is that you don't intend to fight with Akainu at all?"
"If I had that intention, I wouldn't come to your appointment."
Qingzhi's always calm eyes were filled with confusion and confusion.
"It seems like we need to get them out soon, otherwise they will not end well if Akainu takes office."
Qing Pheasant was speechless.
"I am still an admiral in the navy. Do you have to discuss these topics with me?"
Annie looked confused: "I took you back to my hometown, and you still told me that you are a naval admiral?"
After saying that, he made a heartfelt gesture: "Hey~ My heart hurts so much. After all, I paid by mistake~"
Qing Zhi frowned at her mischief, and after a while he suddenly burst into laughter.
"I don't know what you are thinking about all day long. If you trust others so easily, you will suffer a loss."
"If the person in front of me is Kizaru, do you think I trust him?"
"Mr. Kuzan, your heart is too straightforward."
"If you can't convince me with what you see, I will still follow my own path."
"Okay. But no matter what your choice is, you will never be able to stay in the Navy. When Akainu takes office, it is impossible for hawks and doves to coexist."
The calm sea surface suddenly changed, and a huge whirlpool appeared in front of the Sonny.The dark water suddenly turned into a ferocious beast. The Sonny kept shaking and swinging in the direction of the whirlpool, struggling to escape from the beast's mouth.
Inside the ship, everyone clung to the walls around them, trying hard to control themselves from being thrown out by the huge inertia of the water.
The vortex rotated faster and faster, and the dark seawater surged in, swallowing the Sonny entirely.
The world was spinning, and accompanied by bursts of screams, the ship broke through the water and appeared under a peaceful and peaceful sky.
"where is this place?"
Everyone came to the deck and looked at the endless blue sea, feeling a little confused.
There is nothing around but sea water, and the distant skyline is wrapped in darkness. Thinking about it, this is the center of the Sea of Mist.
Anne steered the ship toward the east, and it was quiet along the way. She didn't even see a bird, let alone an island.
An hour later, the boat slowly stopped and everyone looked at the water around them and was confused.
"Annie, are you here?"
"There is obviously nothing here."
Annie did not answer, but stretched out her palm and gently placed it on the air in front of her.
Golden light emitted from the palm, and the air in front of him began to fluctuate, raising layers of wrinkles.
The light shined brightly, and a curtain of light appeared in front of everyone.In everyone's astonished eyes, Sunny plunged into this light curtain that was like water waves.
The scene in front of them suddenly changed, light flashed by, and everyone stared blankly at the steel giant that appeared in front of them.
"So... so big!!!"
"Bigger than a giant!!!"
"so high!"
"what is this?"
"so cool!"
"What kind of creature is this!!!"
The steel giant in front of him was extremely huge, even up to a hundred meters tall.The tall giants on the sea were like children in front of them, and humans were as small as ants.
Nervous emotions surrounded everyone's hearts. The steel giant stood on the sea, with two huge arms inlaid with sharp blades. A ray of light shot out from the eyes of the head, shrouding Anne on the bow of the ship.
"Annie!"
The Straw Hats exclaimed, tensing up and getting ready for battle.
"don’t worry!"
Anne spoke up to stop their movements.
At this time, the Iron Giant had also completed the scan, and a mechanized voice came from his body.
"After verification, it will be allowed to pass."
While everyone was still surprised, the steel giant lowered his head slightly, slowly raised his right hand, and clasped his fist on his chest.
"Lady Anne, welcome home."
"Eh???"
“So cool, so cool, so cool!”
Luffy, Usopp, Chopper and Merry's eyes were shining with excitement, they were drooling with their sparkling eyes, and their hands were trembling and they didn't know where to put them.
The rest of the people were not spared either. Their eyes looking at the Iron Giant could not conceal their excitement and heat.
"Is it your turn to be on duty today, Eureka?"
"Yes, Lady Anne."
"It's hard work!"
"Thank you for your concern, it's my duty."
The Iron Giant turned sideways to make way for the Sonny.The endless and huge island in the distance instantly attracted everyone's attention.
It is green and green, with flocks of birds. Tall buildings stand densely on the island. Roaring sounds can be heard from time to time in the clouds. Another equally tall steel giant stands at the port, with a huge energy reactor emitting red light on its chest that is particularly attractive. Attention.
Everything new and strange in front of them shocked the people on the ship and made them extremely shocked.
"Annie, what on earth is this?"
Luffy's attention has been completely attracted by the Iron Giant, and the light bursting out of his eyes is so dazzling that it is impossible to look directly.
"That's a cruiser."
"Cruiser mecha?"
"Well, I'm responsible for guarding and guarding the island."
"The one just now is the Eureka Raider, and the one on the shore is the Revenge Wanderer. There are also Cherno Alpha and Storm Red. They are both off today."
"Eureka Raider, so handsome!"
Anne was very satisfied with their performance. After all, this was a cruiser armor built by their scientific research department using alloys and combined with Cordelais technology in the form of her favorite mecha from the previous life.
Not only do they have power several times stronger than the giants, and their destructive power is astonishing, they are also equipped with Cordelais interstellar weapons all over their bodies, controlled by intelligent AI, with flexible manipulation and agile movements.A battle armor is comparable to a thousand-man artillery force!
The cost of building such a powerful mecha is naturally high, not to mention the manpower and material resources consumed. So far, they have only built four.
The closer they get to the island, the more surprised everyone becomes.
A brightly lit port, buildings of different styles, neat watchtowers, fully equipped troops with orders and prohibitions.There is also the flag fluttering in the wind at the port. The patterns printed on it are somewhat complicated, but they have an alternative beauty.
It looks like two capital letters G back to back, and the pattern inlaid at the bottom looks like a triangular eye.There is a circle pattern inside the triangle, with a wand running straight up and down.The top of the wand is supported by two olive branches, which adds a sense of tranquility to the entire pattern.
