Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 401 The truth is revealed! (23)

New World, Drifter.

A day later, the pirate captains were gathered together again.

Lafitte called them over today because he said he had found the prisoner. Many well-informed captains already knew all they had gained last night and wanted to hear how he would explain what had happened in the past two days.

It was noon and the sun was shining hotly on the skin, making many people impatient.

Just when everyone was filled with resentment, Lafitte and Bashas finally appeared in the square.

However, everyone's attention was not attracted by Lafitte, but by Bashas... because on the latter's shoulders, he was carrying a silver-white submarine, and every step he took made the wooden foundation creak under the heavy weight.

Bang!
A hole was opened in the center of the square, and Bashas threw the submarine in, creating a lot of waves.

"Everyone, we have found the real murderer!"

Lafitte twisted his hat brim and nodded slightly to the captains, then went straight to the point: "Look, this is the identity of the murderer!"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and a pirate captain asked in confusion.

"Are you trying to tell us that the murderer was a submarine?"

"Of course not, this is what I want you to see!"

Lafitte had expected this, and without changing his expression he jumped onto the submarine and tapped twice with his crutch on a piece of armor that fit perfectly together.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. After all, this submarine is very high-tech, and it's not easy to open the hatch."

As he spoke, Lafitte's hands did not stop. After the armor fell off, he took out a rough key that was obviously hastily made from his bosom and inserted it into the exposed keyhole.

The others exclaimed in surprise. If Lafitte hadn't taken out the key, they would not have noticed that there was a keyhole on the smooth surface behind the armor.

Puff... Chi...

The airtight hatch made an exhaust sound, and then, as everyone stared in confusion, two armor plates that looked normal on the surface suddenly shrank into the gap left by the protruding armor on the side, revealing a pitch-black spiral switch underneath.

Lafitte grabbed the switch and twisted it hard, rotating it a few times and pulling it back, and only then did the door really open.

Although this submarine is not big, the space inside the cabin is very efficient, and ten people can sit in it without feeling crowded. The indicator lights of the complex instruments on the control panel in front of it kept flashing, and finally a "hum" sounded, like the sound of a motor starting.

Standing on the submarine that was humming faintly, Lafitte grinned, "This is what we found from the murderer's ship last night. Now everyone believes that the explosion two days ago had nothing to do with us, right?"

"What is this? How can a submarine prove your innocence?"

Most of those who can become pirates are illiterate. Amid the noise, someone started to question.

However, illiteracy is just a matter of knowledge. Most of the pirate captains who can make a living in the New World are meticulous and understood it instantly.

"Damn it, it's the navy!"

The technology of this submarine has never been seen or used by these pirate ships, let alone even heard of.

This is totally not a level that ordinary pirates can reach!
They can't understand it, so they can prove that this is not the work of the Blackbeard Pirates.

Only the navy and the world government have this kind of magical high-tech creation.

If Lafitte had brought out a witness today, they might not have believed it, but technology doesn't lie. In addition, Lafitte and Bashas didn't hide their whereabouts last night, and many people saw them carrying the submarine back from a sunken pirate ship in the port.

After realizing the key point, the pirates woke up instantly.

Damn it, I was cheated!

Taking in the pirates' expressions, Lafitte breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the culprit "Wilder" escaped and it is impossible to interrogate them face to face to completely clear the suspicion of directing and acting in this incident, as long as this is known, any discerning person will at least be more cautious.

Compared to the previous two days when everyone was suspicious and completely distrustful of them, this kind of consideration can at least ensure that the alliance meeting can continue.

"hateful!!"

Behind the crowd, Donte, wearing makeup, clenched his fists. People around him just thought he was angry about being deceived by the navy. They never thought that he was the real murderer they were looking for.

His companions were killed, but he was powerless to do anything. This feeling of frustration and anger made Dongte's eyes red, and a murderous intent began to spread.

But at this moment, a cry of surprise attracted his attention.

"Captain, you are here!"

All of his subordinates had died in last night's sneak attack, and now they still called him captain... Swish!
Dongte turned around instantly and looked at the pirate behind him warily.

"who are you?"

Dongte lowered his voice and touched the spring.

The man was not surprised at Dongte's vigilance. He approached and whispered, "We are one. Follow me."

The only trump card has been used by Lafitte as evidence to clear his name. If Ron does not show up, it is unknown whether he can leave the ship alive. Donte smiled bitterly.

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

The departure of an unknown little pirate did not attract anyone's attention. The pirates were used to being free and undisciplined. Even the pirate captains in the center of the square were not serious, not to mention the ordinary pirates who could only watch the fun from the periphery.

Dongte followed the visitor all the way and soon arrived in front of the main hull of the Drifter. Looking at his shocked face, the visitor smiled slightly.

"Major General Dongte, please come in, the captain is waiting for you!"

The captain of the Drifter is actually one of our own? !

Dongte was shocked by the news.

After getting on the ship, Donte continued to be surprised to find that there were very few people on the Drifter and the number of crew members was not at all what a large ship should have.

"Most people have already evacuated in the past few days. The only ones left are some insignificant merchants on the ship. However, they are busy doing business in the town and don't know this at all."

Seeing his confusion, the man explained with a smile.

Dongte nodded but said nothing.

For some reason, he had a bold guess.

Soon, the two stopped in a small room inside the Drifter. The visitor knocked on the door and said respectfully, "Master Edie, Major General Dongte has been brought here."

"Well, let him in."

"Yes!"

The visitor nodded in response and gestured to Dong Te.

"Major General Dongte, please!"

Then turned and left.

Dongte swallowed nervously, stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door. This was a very luxurious room, golden and magnificent everywhere. The famous "Lame Wolf" Edie sat behind a vermilion wooden table, with a pipe in the corner of his mouth.

"Time is running out, Major General Donte. We have to leave in half an hour, so ask anything you want to know."

"Why are you helping me? Are you a spy for the navy or a government agent?"

Dongte didn't hesitate and went straight to the point.

"neither!"

Idi shook his head: "The Golden Emperor must give face to Vice Admiral Canglong, and Lord Umit must give face to the Golden Emperor. I am just Lord Umit's subordinate, so I naturally have to obey his orders."

At this point, Edie seemed to have figured out what Dongte was going to ask, and said directly: "Also, don't ask me what the plan is... I don't know either! That's something the adults up there should consider."

"My job was just to make sure you left the Drifter... and I didn't have to show up, because you had enough submarines on your ship to escape. But because of your reckless behavior last night, you lost the submarine, so I had to show up and let you retreat with us."

"You know that once people find out that I have any connection with you, my business career will be over. Lord Umit will hide me away and start from scratch."

"Really? Sorry to trouble you."

A wry smile appeared on Dongte's face.

Indeed, with the trump card Ron handed him, the epoch-making submarine designed by Vegapunk himself, even if things were impossible, it would not be a problem for him to leave.

But Lafitte went straight to the ship, making it very difficult for them to retreat.

He originally wanted to delay time and wait for the soldiers to drive the submarine out before jumping into the sea to escape, but he didn't expect that Basas threw a bunch of barrels of explosives over, which directly sank the ship. Even the submarine was taken away by the other party as evidence.

Taking a deep breath, Dongte looked up at Edie solemnly and asked what he was thinking: "Do my crew members have to die?"

I'll post two chapters first%...I've been feeling drained lately. I've been working for half a month straight, and I'm still writing three chapters at the same time. I can finally take a day off tomorrow... It's really hard.
