Chapter 114: The Lighthouse Watcher of Twin Headlands
Two days ago.
The first half of the Great Voyage, Upside Down Mountain, Twin Capes.
The weather hasn't been too good these days, and the lighthouse watchman of Twin Capes, Kulokas, simply lives in Rab's belly.
Rab is an adult island whale, and as the name suggests, the whale is as large as a small island when it reaches adulthood.
But the island whale named Rab often injured himself, and in order to treat Rab, Kulokas, who is also a doctor, built a tunnel and a small artificial island in Rab's body, so that he could observe Rab's health at any time.
But as a lighthouse watchman, Kulokas would often peek out of the small door in Rab's back to point the way to ships in the nearby seas.
"It's raining again..."
Suddenly there was a thunderclap in the sky, like a starting pistol in the referee's hand, and the rain followed.
"Was it the last time you overdosed on tranquilizers? Rab, the kid didn't give me any rations, and I had to let the old man go out to fish by himself. ”
Returning to the lighthouse, Kurokas first took a look at the sea and saw that there were no boats to guide, and then he took out his fishing gear to try his luck if he could catch some relatively large seafood.
The sea under the thick clouds is dull, and the once clear waters look like surging oil, full of aggression.
"Whoa..."
On the dark sea, a large king octopus suddenly appeared, and Kulokas's eyes lit up, and he hurried over with his waist hunched.
Just as he was about to make a move, in the sound of rain in his ears, a man's rough voice suddenly sounded: "Ghost spider, Lao Tzu will kill you!! ”
What kind of creature is a ghost spider? The latest marine species?
Wait a minute... Why is there a voice of someone, someone is killed!
Kurokas tensed up, and it wasn't until a second roar came from the surface of the sea that he was finally sure that the direction of the man's voice was where the king octopus was!
In the water, Wagner, who was a little unconscious, mistook the nimble tentacles of the king octopus for the ghost spider's long hair that resembled spider's legs.
The survival instinct that remained in his mind combined with his resentment against the ghost spider made Wagner vent all his anger on the king octopus.
"Die!!"
Wagner bit the tentacle of the octopus held in his arms, and after tearing open a gap, Wagner ripped off one of the tentacles of the octopus on the spot.
The king octopus screamed in pain and was about to turn around and run away.
It didn't expect that a mere human could allow itself to be so traumatized.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
Three harpoons pierced the head of the king octopus with a whistling wind, and the king octopus immediately wilted.
Feeling the strength of the rest of the tentacles weakening rapidly, Wagner was deflated, and his body began to sink into the sea.
Before he could close his eyes, he saw a strange man with a feather on his head swimming towards him.
"Oh no, it's cannibals..."
……
Two days later.
"You can't eat my !!"
Wagner woke up from his nightmare to find a rather simple hut.
Hearing a voice from the lighthouse hut, Kulokas walked in: "Young man, are you awake?" ”
"It's you..."
Wagner, who regained consciousness, finally realized that the strange man with the feather on his head was not a cannibal, but the lighthouse keeper of the Twin Heads.
When he followed Chief Hailan over the Upside-Down Mountain from the East China Sea, he had seen this old man.
Kurokas smiled, "What? Do you know me? ”
"Uh... Sorry, I forgot your name. But anyway, thank you for saving me..."
"I'm a doctor, it's my duty to save people, and I don't need to say much if I'm grateful..."
"Oops!"
Wagner, whose thinking gradually became clearer, finally remembered the ins and outs of the matter, "What about my phone bug?" ”
"When I fished you out of the sea, you had nothing on you but tattered clothes."
"Do you have a phone bug?"
"How?"
"Please, I have 100,000 urgent matters to notify the Navy Headquarters now, which is related to the lives of dozens of navyes!"
Although Kulokas used to be the head of Gord K. A crew member on D. Roger's ship, but he's not a pirate at heart, not even an adventurer.
When Roger first invited him aboard, he declined.
When Roger invited him for the second time, he temporarily boarded Roger's pirate ship because he agreed with what Roger had done and because of some personal matters.
For Kulokas, whether it's a pirate or a navy, even an ordinary navigator, he doesn't care, he only admires those who have an appetite for him.
"Ugh..."
Kulokas sighed.
As soon as he thought of Wagner's appearance of playing with his life two days ago, he roughly guessed the reason for the incident, which was nothing more than that this was another naval force persecuted by pirates.
There are too few people like the Rumba Pirates and the Roger Pirates, and the vast majority of pirates in this world are still a bunch of scum after all.
"Give."
Kulokas handed over the old phone bug that had always been with him to Wagner.
The latter didn't even have time to say thank you, so he hurriedly dialed Hailan's phone.
……
Headquarters of the Navy.
Unlike the atmosphere that was always full of laughter and laughter in the past, Hailan's warship has been shrouded in a dark cloud in recent days.
The "Moonlight Pirates" were lost by Major General Ghost Spider, and now they don't know where to hide.
Hailan and the soldiers were gearing up, but there was nowhere to release the power full of anger at this time.
"Major General Ghost Spider is a bit useless, isn't he? How can you still lose the pirates? ”
"Don't say that, a cunning fox like pirates, what he is best at is hiding in Tibet, otherwise there are so many lieutenant generals and major generals in the headquarters, where will a lot of pirates flow into the new world every year?"
"Alas, Major Wagner is a veteran who came to the headquarters with me in the East China Sea Rogge Town, but I didn't expect that this time the whole army would be wiped out, Lieutenant Bucky and Lieutenant Chloe also came out of the East China Sea, I don't know what they will think..."
Hailan turned off the ability to sense electric fields because he didn't want to hear these fragmented thoughts of his subordinates.
All he wanted now was to find out the traces of Moonlight Moria, and then pay tribute to the dead soldiers with its blood.
Just as Hailan was about to call Chloe and ask him if he had any news about the "Moonlight Pirates" in the Dark World, the ship's phone bug "Brubru" screamed.
"News from the Moonlight Pirates?"
When everyone held their breath and prepared to go out to fight the pirates, an old man's voice came from the phone bug: "Hello, I'm the lighthouse keeper of the Twin Heads, Kulokas, is Chief Hailan here?" ”
