Chapter 242
After this group of soldiers came out, several young people dressed in different styles came from behind. They walked out of the castle leisurely under the gaze of sculptures wearing knight armor on both sides of the road.
The eldest daughter, Vinsmoke Reiju.
Eldest son, Vinsmoke Ige.
Second son, Vinsmoke Nige.
The fourth son, Vinsmoke Yongji.
These four people are members of the Vinsmoke royal family. Each has a unique weapon, such as Vinsmoke Nige's light speed sword. They are also equipped with technical shoes, belts, gloves, swelling-suppressing masks and other equipment and tools.
The entire set of equipment they carry alone is worth more than 100 million beli. The ease of completing a small goal shows how strong the Vinsmoke family's financial resources are.
But this is true and normal. Who said that the Vinsmoke family was ever rich?
Speaking of the Vinsmoke family, it can be said that everyone knows about this three-acre area in the North Sea. They once controlled the entire North Sea by force. Although they no longer have territory, they are still eligible to participate in the World Conference. .
Four men and women climbed up the steps to the sentry tower, not forgetting to complain:
"What's going on, someone actually dares to provoke our Vinsmoke family?"
"Whatever, as long as they are enemies, we will just bury them all!"
The four of them were chatting and laughing, and seemed not to take the outsiders seriously.
Even though the Vinsmoke family is not as glorious as it used to be, the force they possess still makes the North Sea countries tremble with fear. Even after the Vinsmoke family is no longer bound by territory, in order to raise funds for research on bloodline factors, they often Guest pirates plundering everywhere have long been frightening.
However, when they came to the watch tower and looked through the telescope at the steel warships coming from afar, Vinsmoke Nige, who had just shouted that he would bury all enemies, suddenly turned pale and could not hold back a word. Come.
"Sea...Navy?"
If it were in the past, when the Warring States Marshal commanded the navy, they would naturally not be afraid.
But now, Marshal Shura has ascended to the throne and issued an all-round suppression order, making everyone in the world's mafia, bandits and pirates in danger. They live in Yang Ming's shadow every day in panic. Wherever the steel warship passes, It can be said that there are many bones and bones that have created their supreme reputation.
The Vinsmoke family once played the role of pirates, robbing homes and houses everywhere. As members of the royal family, the four of them naturally had a guilty conscience and couldn't help but murmur to themselves:
"Is it possible that our last robbery of a certain kingdom came to light?"
"Damn it! Didn't we kill everyone in that town? Why did we leak the situation and provoke the navy?"
"It's over, Barbie's done!"
The three Vinsmoke brothers are still very young now, not even 18 years old. In addition, they are similar in age to Yang Ming. Yang Ming has already become someone else's child, and is often used as a typical case by Vinsmoke Gaji. Come teach them a lesson.
It can be said that they all grew up listening to Yang Ming’s stories!
Precisely because of this, they naturally knew how cruel this Marshal Shura was!
Seeing the three people hugging each other and shivering, without any of their usual arrogant and domineering appearance, as the eldest daughter, Vinsmoke Reiju sighed, not knowing what to say.
Of course, she also knew that Marshal Shura had left a deep psychological shadow on them through the words of Vinsmoke Gaji when they were growing up. It was normal to have such a reaction.
"You guys should cheer up for me!"
"If the navy comes to cause trouble for our Vinsmoke family, it will not just come with one steel warship, but at least three steel warships."
Vinsmoke Reiju put her hands on her hips, and the slightly sized bun mountain trembled slightly, rippling out subtle arcs.
After hearing what Vinsmoke Reiju said, the three brothers headed by Vinsmoke Iji were not so panicked. They were not fools either. After thinking for a moment, they vaguely guessed that the navy had suddenly come to visit. I was afraid that the plan was not too small, so I immediately ordered the soldiers below to stand still. They walked down from the sentry tower and went to the dock to greet them personally.
Chapter 372 Vinsmoke Gage
After hearing what Vinsmoke Reiju said, the three brothers headed by Vinsmoke Iji were not so panicked. They were not fools either. After thinking for a moment, they vaguely guessed that the navy was suddenly visiting. I was afraid that the plan was not too small, so I immediately ordered the soldiers below to stand still. They walked down from the sentry tower and went to the dock to greet them personally.
Under the guidance of the soldiers waving flags, the steel warship slowly slowed down and approached the designated dock location.
As the water waves swayed gently, the pier shook slightly, and the huge steel warship was moored in the pier.
Only when they faced this steel warship at close range did the four Vinsmoke brothers and sisters truly feel the difference between today's navy and the navy of the past.
The steel warship is 120 meters long, about 17 meters wide, with a draft of about 9 meters, a load capacity of more than 5,000 tons, and a deck area equivalent to the size of a professional football field. It is powered by a steam engine, making the steel warship sail at a speed far exceeding this Any ship of the era, including the Germa 66 battleship that the Vinsmoke family was proud of, was eclipsed by this steel warship.
Not to mention, the dark muzzles protruding from the three dense rows of gun cabins on both sides of the steel warship are like a giant beast crawling on the sea, baring its teeth and claws at any hostile enemy. Once there are hundreds of guns in three rows The cannons were fired together, and the scene was absolutely explosive. Any wooden three-masted sailboat that was hit by a round of artillery fire would probably sink into the sea.
Several people looked up and saw mottled marks on the surface of the steel warship, including slash wounds and white marks left by cannonballs, as if this steel warship had sailed all the way and had experienced many battles, leaving behind These are enough signs of meritorious service.
The fierce aura that hit their faces gave the four young men Vinsmoke a small naval shock.
When the hatch opened, an iron ladder fell, and Lieutenant General Jonathan stepped out, their pupils shrank.
"Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters?"
The four people's eyes rested on the epaulettes on the shoulders of Lieutenant General Jonathan. If those who were hanging out in this sea did not have any eyesight, they would have been thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
The four brothers and sisters received the strictest education from the Vinsmoke family since they were young. They were not comparable to the good-for-nothing third brother like Sanji. Naturally, they could see the identity of Lieutenant General Jonathan at a glance, which only confirmed their previous guesses.
The navy suddenly came to visit, and the plan was huge!
Jonathan looked around and didn't see the head of the family, Vinsmoke Gage. Instead, he saw four juniors welcoming him enthusiastically. As the saying goes, if you don't hit the smiling person with your hand, Jonathan naturally wouldn't do it either. He was furious, not to mention that now he was shouldering the important mission of Yang Ming. He must always maintain the image of the navy uniting the majority of people. He shook hands with the four people with a kind face and said with a smile:
"I have often heard that the head of the Vinsmoke family is good at educating people. Today, I saw that it is true. Heroes emerge from youth, and every young man is twice as good as him!"
It's not like the four Vinsmoke brothers and sisters haven't heard nice words, but that also depends on who they're talking about.
If the servants under his command said such words, they would only take it as flattery.
But when the target was the Lieutenant General of the Navy Headquarters, things suddenly changed. Jonathan's words fell into the ears of the four brothers and sisters, and they immediately became elated. They even looked at the thick-browed and big-eyed uncle much more favorably. What do you think? How kind.
"Hahaha……"
At this moment, a heroic laughter came from the direction of the castle. In less than a moment, a tall and sturdy man rushed to the dock and said with a smile:
"A few of my children are ignorant of etiquette. They knew that Sir Jonathan was coming to visit in person, but they did not notify me. They really cannot deserve such praise from you. I am really ashamed, so ashamed!"
Vinsmoke Gaji kept saying he was ashamed, but the curve of the corner of his mouth had already betrayed his true inner thoughts.
Let me ask, who among the parents in this world doesn’t want their children to become successful?
Especially for Vinsmoke Gage, these children under his knees are of great significance. To be praised by the wise general Jonathan, who has become famous in recent years, is simply like eating on a hot summer day. It tastes like ice cream and feels so comfortable from head to toe!
Jonathan turned around with a smile and looked at the elderly head of the Vinsmoke family.
Vinsmoke Gaji has long dazzling golden hair, draped down his back like a shawl. He is tall and tall. Just standing there, he stands on the ground like an iron tower, giving people an inexplicable feeling. A deep sense of oppression.
The most interesting thing is that he has a pointed black beard with an upward direction on his upper lip and a mustache on his lower chin. He wears a metal helmet and a light gray combat uniform with the Germa 66 logo on it. , wearing an orange cape on his shoulders, long white gloves on his hands, a golden belt around his waist, and jet thruster boots on his feet.
Vinsmoke Gaji is also an old man, so naturally he won't really believe in Jonathan's one-sided words.
Just from the fact that he was wearing this combat uniform, we knew that he had come from the beginning with the intention of having a confrontation with the navy.
Jonathan smiled and said nothing. He had already understood everything. He recalled the information about the middle-aged man in front of him in his mind. He could be called a legend in Beihai.
Vinsmoke Gaji is known as the strange bird and has various titles on his head. He is the master of the Vinsmoke family, the king of the Kingdom of Germa, and the commander of Germa 66. He is a scientist as famous as Vegapunk. He was once known for his He became famous all over the world by killing the four countries in the North Sea, and his dream is to let the Kingdom of Germa dominate the North Sea again.
It can be said that this is a man with both talent and ambition.
If it weren't for his strength not being enough to support his ambitions, Beihai might have fallen long ago and would have been completely ruled by the Kingdom of Germa.
Unfortunately, the World Government has always been committed to balancing the forces of all parties and does not allow any force to be too powerful. The Germa Kingdom's attempt to unify the North Sea has doomed their failure from the moment they came up with this idea. Regardless of whether Vinsmoke Ga No matter how many times I try, it always fails inexplicably for one reason or another.
"Sir Jonathan has come all the way to visit this humble home. It really makes our faces proud. I have already prepared wine and food. Please allow me to do my part as a host and entertain Mr. Jonathan well." Fan."
While Jonathan was thinking about this, Vinsmoke Gage looked like he was seeing an old friend. He personally led the way, leading Jonathan to walk on the red carpet towards the magnificent castle.
Chapter 373: Playing tricks
"Sir Jonathan has come all the way to visit our humble home. It really makes our faces proud. I have already prepared wine and food. Please allow me to do my part as a host and entertain Mr. Jonathan well." Fan."
While Jonathan was thinking about this, Vinsmoke Gage looked like he was seeing an old friend. He personally led the way, leading Jonathan on the red carpet towards the magnificent castle.
To enter the castle, you need to cross a stone bridge and pass through the arch. You will see the carefully crafted garden in front of the castle. The gardener has cut the trees appropriately. Butterflies are flying among the flowers. With a breeze blowing, a refreshing fragrance of flowers will hit your nose. Come.
Baroque castle architecture and furniture decoration, Gothic hall, the castle has a large space, and is separated into unique houses, weapons room, bedroom, living room, and the emblem of the Wensmoke family is also on display. Collecting three hundred years of porcelain, new firearms and equipment that have been invested in research and development over the years.
Walking on the red carpet and passing through the corridor hung with oil paintings, Vinsmoke Gage seemed to be showing off and showing off his family's strength, introducing these items to Jonathan endlessly.
"Sir Jonathan, please see, these are clone soldiers that our Vinsmoke family invested in research and development and production. After many years of research on blood factors by this king, these clone soldiers have a body that is not inferior to the original body, and their minds are very good." Being clean is simple, and with just a little guidance and indoctrination, a completely loyal army can be cultivated." ap.
"Look here, this is a battle suit developed by our Vinsmoke family. It is not only close-fitting in size, light in weight, and has strong defense, but it also has special abilities. For example, the invisible suit in my hand can be used after wearing it. Performing invisibility, the effect is comparable to the invisible fruit."
Along the way, even though Jonathan had already learned information from the intelligence organization, he couldn't help but nod his head repeatedly, feeling quite amazed.
Perhaps noticing the emotion on Jonathan's face, Vinsmoke Gage seemed to be testing, pretending to be proud, and said:
"Sir Jonathan, what do you think of the equipment of our Vinsmoke family? Does it stand out compared to the navy?"
Jonathan looked at this middle-aged man with a rough appearance but a delicate heart with a smile.
As the saying goes, see through but don't tell. Although he knew that there was something in Vinsmoke Gaji's words, Jonathan took advantage of the other person's words and nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, the scientific research products of your Vinsmoke family are indeed unique. I can't see them in many places."
Just when Vinsmoke Gaji suppressed his excitement, pretended to be calm, and was about to excuse himself, Jonathan suddenly lifted up a corner of his clothes.
"???"
When I type a question mark, it’s not that I have a problem, it’s that you have a problem.
Vinsmoke Gage was puzzled by what he meant. When Jonathan's clothes were completely opened, revealing the sci-fi-colored belt around his waist, Vinsmoke Gage suddenly trembled, like an old man. As if encountering a delicious delicacy, his eyes suddenly burst out with enthusiasm. He didn't care about the strange expressions of his children, and he immediately bowed his head and put it on his face.
At this moment, if you look at them from behind, the two grown men are so close, as if something beyond friendship has happened.
Vinsmoke and Reiju's eyes twitched. They didn't know why their father was so crazy today that he would do such a rude thing.
However, the Vinsmoke family's family rules are very strict, and the order of superiority and inferiority is an ironclad one. Even if they have some complaints in their hearts, they dare not speak out in person, lest they get beaten and scolded.
"Oh! My God! Look at this color and shape, it is simply the most perfect creation!"
"Oh my God, I can't tell what this is made of!"
Waves of imaginative and ambiguous emotions came from the mouth of Vinsmoke Gaji one after another.
This strong man who was full of majesty as a king in front of outsiders has obviously been defeated by the belt around Jonathan's waist.
Hex Belt!
This is the belt that Jonathan wears around his waist.
Recalling that before the trip, when Yang Ming specifically asked him to wear this sci-fi-colored belt, Jonathan refused at first. You can't just let me wear it, so don't I lose face?
But now, when he saw that the majestic King of Germa Kingdom was so obsessed with the Hex Belt, Jonathan couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Yang Ming.
"Marshal, is it possible that you have expected all this?"
Jonathan's tiger body trembled and he pushed Vinsmoke Gaji away.
Vinsmoke Gaji seemed to have little desire, and reluctantly moved his eyes away from Hex's belt. As a scientist as famous as Vegapunk in the world, he had a strong premonition that once he Digging deeper into the secrets of Hex's Belt will bring about earth-shaking changes to the Vinsmoke family!
However, due to the identity of Jonathan, Vinsmoke Gaji could only hesitate to speak.
Jonathan laughed secretly, patted his belt, and said casually:
"This is the latest Hex belt developed by our navy. It's actually not a great creation. We also have the Iron Man Mark 3 armor, which is truly awesome equipment. It was even developed and successfully developed by a scientific research institute. Artificial Devil Fruits have been mass-produced and are now being used in elite military units."
"What?"
"Artificial Devil Fruit?"
The Vinsmoke family were all shocked after hearing such shocking news.
Especially Vinsmoke Gage. When he was young, he once formed a scientific research team with Vegapunk, Caesar Courant and others, dedicated to climbing to the pinnacle of science. Naturally, it is clear that these two people once devoted themselves to The research and development of bloodline factors and artificial devil fruits are clearly Caesar Courant's most favored scientific research project.
Now that time has passed, Vegapunk has already become a world-famous scientist. On the contrary, Caesar Courant, who was once as famous as him, is unknown. Vinsmoke Gage almost wondered whether this guy had disappeared, but he didn't. Come to think of it, Caesar Courant worked hard quietly and then amazed everyone!
Artificial Devil Fruit, it's much better than clones and the like!
The most important thing is that it can also be mass-produced!
Thinking of this, Vinsmoke Gaji couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. He originally wanted to show off in front of Jonathan, the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, so as to show off the strength of the Vinsmoke family, so that he could win the battle next time. In the subsequent negotiations, he strived to take the initiative and obtain more benefits. He never thought that he was actually trying to trick his class, which made Jonathan laugh.
Chapter 374 Kobra’s Visit
Thinking of this, Vinsmoke Gaji couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. He originally wanted to show off in front of Jonathan, the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, so as to show off the strength of the Vinsmoke family, so that he could win the battle next time. In the subsequent negotiations, he strived to take the initiative and obtain more benefits. He never thought that he was actually trying to trick his class, which made Jonathan laugh.
Seeing that their father was defeated, the three brothers Vinsmoke and Iji were young and vigorous after all. They did not care that the Vice Admiral Jonathan in front of them was a special envoy sent by the Navy Headquarters, and rebutted unconvincingly:
"Our Vinsmoke family's technology is also poor!"
"oh?"
Jonathan turned around and saw the unruly looks of the three brothers, Vinsmoke and Iji, with smiles on their faces that made it difficult to see his true emotions.
