Chapter 248 What’s the water?
Realizing that Deuce was not joking or having some literary illness, but was seriously trying to find an answer to his sudden confusion, Jerry looked serious, which was unusual for him, and said:
"Yes, whether you are willing to accept it or not, as long as the right to define guilt is in the hands of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, then any country or individual that disobeys them or fails to bring them benefits is a sin by its very existence."
"You..." Deus was speechless for a moment. He understood that this was Jerry's answer, and it was also an explanation that could explain many absurd phenomena in the current world.
In this depressing atmosphere, Cavendish was no longer in the mood to show off. He reached out and patted Deuce's shoulder, saying:
"I agree with Jerry's point of view. As a prince of a country, I have not experienced that scene, but I know many deeds and styles of the World Government."
"Yes, they always do this." Skarr said softly. Obviously, as an excellent intelligence expert, he knew a lot.
After hearing what Jerry and the others said, Deuce pursed his lips tightly and remained silent, but the veins on his clenched fists were bulging from excessive force.
Kalina and Little Bonnie were also staring into the distance in a daze, each of them seemed to be immersed in their own thoughts.
In the depressing atmosphere, Garrott looked up at the towering bridge and said with a stammer, "But, aren't they too pitiful?"
The still young Carrot instinctively felt that the scene before him was wrong. He had witnessed inhumane acts such as slave trade in places such as Doye Island and Sabaody Archipelago before.
It's just that for one reason or another, those slaves were basically rescued directly or indirectly by Jerry, so she didn't have too many feelings.
However, at this moment, the scene before their eyes was too spectacular and too heart-wrenching. Not only Carrot, but even people like Deuce who knew there was a lot of darkness in this world could not help but be deeply moved.
In the midst of thunder and lightning, violent storms and heavy rain, people were shackled and forced to do endless physical labor.
Not to mention taking a rest, even those who accidentally slipped would get up and continue working under the fists or whips of the supervisors.
And this was only the corner that they could see, a small part of the edge of the bridge.
Garrott turned his head and looked at Jerry eagerly, hesitantly said: "Brother Jerry, we..."
"Huh... Gallot, let me talk." After taking a deep breath, Deus interrupted Gallot.
He looked around, taking in everyone's expressions, and said solemnly: "I know, this may be meddling in other people's business, or it may be drinking poison to quench thirst..."
As he spoke, Deuce's eyes became more determined, "Jerry, is there a way? We can do it, right?"
"Just this once, I want to rescue them. Even if the World Government will recruit more people to continue building this never-finished bridge..."
Jerry gave a thumbs up, looked up at the scene in the distance that was becoming more and more blurred as the rainstorm intensified, patted his chest, and said firmly: "Of course, you can always trust me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jerry stood up and began to control the ocean current, speeding up the boat to sail towards the bridge.
"Boom! Boom boom!"
Suddenly, several shells roared down from the bridge and exploded around the Heizi.
Apparently, the guards on the bridge noticed the approach of the pirate ship. They did not intend to communicate by shouting, but simply greeted them with cannonballs.
These sudden cannon shots, which could not even be covered up by the heavy rain, and the guards' shouting of the word "pirates", attracted the attention of many slaves on the bridge.
However, most people just glanced at it with their numb and turbid eyes, then hurriedly lowered their heads and bent over, silently continuing the work at hand.
This situation is not uncommon for them, and instead of paying too much attention to those insignificant pirates, they should just get on with their work, otherwise, the whips of the nearby supervisors are no joke.
But on top of that, there is also a small group of special personnel who are quietly watching the movements of the pirate ships and guards.
They seemed to know each other, scattered among the crowd at intervals, but communicating secretly through eye contact and tiny movements.
This group of people belonged to the revolutionary army. They had already infiltrated the interior of the Tekila Wolf and were currently contacting more like-minded personnel while collecting information and secretly looking for opportunities in order to rescue the slaves in front of them.
If the opportunity is right, the revolutionary army even hopes to put an end to this unknown bridge project once and for all.
At this time, the members of the Kuroko Pirates stood on the deck, looking expressionlessly at the shells that were falling rapidly but could not hit them, waiting for Jerry's next move.
"Humph! Who do you think I am? Bring the boat over!!!" Jerry swung the fishing rod in his hand and roared with his blood boiling as if Jack was possessed.
Deuce and the others felt a big drop of sweat flowing from the back of their heads. Scar scratched his head and said loudly behind Jerry:
"Boss Jerry, stop making a fuss... You are the one controlling the boat, and it's up to you whether to dock or not."
"Huh!? What did you say? My eyes can't hear you! Anyway, pull the boat over!"
Seeing that Jerry remained indifferent and was still shouting excitedly, everyone was speechless.
A moment later, the Heizi, with a large seawater protective shield on its back, quickly arrived at the sea near the bridge pier amidst a hail of bullets and heavy rain.
"Okay, now it's our turn to officially start fishing!" Jerry continued waving the fishing rod and grinned.
Deuce and Kalina were already in position, sitting on the fixed chairs used for flying, and reminded everyone loudly: "Quick! Hold on tight!"
"Hey, you guys are already familiar with the process. Flight mode, let's go!" Jerry glanced at his companions and began to manipulate the ocean current under the ship.
"Bang!" A huge ocean current carrying countless small high-pressure water currents rushed straight up towards the bridge deck.
Seeing this abnormal scene, the captain of the guard who had been directing the artillery fire on the bridge suddenly shouted loudly: "Alarm! Alarm! Don't stop the artillery fire! The pirate ship is coming up!"
Then he waved his hand back, signaling his subordinates to quickly gather nearby troops and immediately request support from the distant kingdom.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! If you get squashed, don't blame me for the uneven bottom of the boat!"
A loud splashing sound suddenly arose at the edge of the bridge, and a nasty male voice spread in all directions.
At this moment, not only the slaves on the bridge, whose number was as numerous as ants in a nest, but even the guards were staring in amazement at the scene before them that was beyond their cognition.
Looking at the pirate ship that was like a moon surrounded by stars, surrounded by countless tiny water columns and supported on the top of a huge water flow, the densely packed slaves nearby subconsciously ran wildly to the back.
In the blink of an eye, except for the guards with guns and cannons still standing by the bridge to defend their positions, a large open space suddenly formed behind them.
Jerry swept his Observation Haki across the room, and the next second, countless tiny streams of water turned into arrows and flew towards the guards on the bridge.
"Quick! Cover with fire!" The captain of the guards gave a prompt order, waking up many guards around him.
"Ugh!"
Before the captain of the guards finished speaking, screams were heard one after another.
A guard crouched tremblingly with his head in his hands for a long time, until the screams in his ears gradually faded away and the noise of slaves rang out behind him. Confused, he reached out his hands to touch his whole body and muttered to himself uncertainly:
"Eh!? I...I'm fine?"
Then he looked up and found that several colleagues with confused faces were standing beside him, at a loss as to what to do.
Except for these few people, most of the guards and supervisors stationed on the bridge were lying in a pool of blood.
"Hey! Guards, if you know what's best for you, stand aside and don't block our landing."
"Or, do you also want to experience the feeling of water falling and cutting your head?"
Suddenly, a voice came from the pirate ship that was still hovering above the tide.
Then, the pouring rain formed several small streams that suddenly appeared in front of the surviving guards and began to twist on their own, as if dancing.
Faced with this bizarre scene, they were startled, gathered together quickly and ran to the side.
