the elite black leaves were gathered in a tent for a banquet, there were ten people sitting at the banquet, there were five Asian-faced people while the rest wore masks.
"nah everyone, while waiting for arlong come how about we tell the development of our respective businesses" said one Asian man
"no, we always discuss business during meetings.we better tell the problem in our respective regions" said a man in an owl mask
"yes I agree, let alone hear that one of the guards in America has been murdered"
"i've heard the news, too, saying there was a fake sonorous assault that appeared and attacked the two guards there"
as they were conversing while eating food came the masked man who had broadcast the destruction of America to the whole world,
"Arlong, we've been waiting for you to sit down and eat" said the man in the red mask
"sorry I'm late, is the food good"
"the best I've ever eaten" said the red mask
arlong sat in his chair and immediately spoke seriously,
"sorry if I'm presumptuous, but I'll talk straight to the core of the problem"
"why are you so serious about Arlong, what's the matter exactly? "
"we got word from the valkyrie"
hearing the name of the valkyrie, everyone who was there immediately put on a serious face,
"he said the process of awakening the ancient one would be delayed because the spiral had stolen one of the essential components for the resurrection"
"what did he steal? "
"natural energy tubes"
hearing that everyone was there was shocked,
"how could it have been stolen, when it was almost the size of a Hawaiian island tower"
"that's what we're still investigating, it seems the hunter has taken a bold step by sending a lot of troops into Chinese territory to get our attention distracted"
"are you sure the device was stolen not destroyed on the spot"
"i'm sure not, because there's no trace of anything on site"
"it's hard to believe natural energy tubes can be stolen, what kind of tools can do that"
"so now what's your plan"
"for now we are still pursuing the spiral trail even though the trail has been cut off in the Indian waters, we can still track it with underwave capability"
"what underwave is harmless, isn't he a storm carrier"
"as long as the underwave is still being handled by us nothing will happen.there are still more problems besides the spiral, it's about the death of one of the guards in America. I'm sure you've all heard the news about the fake sonarla assault"
"yes we heard"
"his real identity is hendri graham the grandson of prof. erick graham. he had a molecular serum accident three years ago and happened to be and survived an assault on a military bunker at the time. he's harmless but now he's turned into a pretty terrible creature"
"so what should we do about this fake assault?" the red mask cuts off Arlong's talk
"i'm going to arrest him, he was last seen on the Canadian border wall. The chairman ordered that I arrest him myself so no one should interfere in this matter"
"then the problem of false assault has been resolved, because if you move the problem as difficult as anything can be completed in a matter of days, just let arlong"
"we see, the creature is quite easy to recognize because of the shape of its face like a corpse flower"
everyone there laughed, and the banquet went back quietly.
while outside the tent, the mask of the lion was guarding the banquet tent, which means this banquet is located in China.
the lion mask then picked up his phone, slowly speaking,
"what news?"
"the fake assault went to south Africa, I was on the same ship as him"
"keep an eye on him agent klee"
their phones were cut off
"agent klee.."
another guard there approached the lion mask,
"well, I'm sorry. are you eavesdropping?"
"no I'm just faintly hearing your talk"
the guard returned to his place
"what the hell is this man, has he heard me say at this distance, if I have to get rid of him" said the lion mask in his heart,
just now the lion mask was called by one of his subordinates who was in charge of investigating the partisanship of icarus and halbel before.
it turned out that there were three people who came at that time, two of them investigated in the usual way while the other one infiltrated to find information and he was the one who knew about what was really going on there, and he was the one who knew what was going on there, about the battle of icarus to the killing of armadillos and hendri's purpose.
the lion mask knew of the movements of henry but he did not report them to the arlong, either what ulterior motives he had but obviously he was quite clever because he was not fooled by icarus and halbel.
while in the other hemisphere the ship is still sailing in the Atlantic ocean, the weather is currently very bad, storms and heavy rain hit the ocean.
the ship shook violently, hendri who was not used to boarding the ship was sprawled because of extreme seasickness.
the sailors on the ship fought hard to control the ship so as not to hit the reef.
eight hours later, the,
the storm is not over but it is not as powerful as before the ship was starting to move forward again,
"shit, I just felt hell" hendri said in his heart
"what is still far away" hendri asked the person next to him
"it looks like it's still a long way away, we've been drifting in the ocean for eight hours"
"APAAA" heard that hendri back sprawled
not far from there was a man who was watching hendri, he was the subordinate of the lion mask.
two days passed and the sky was still dark despite the day,
the subordinate of the lion mask approached Hendri and asked him to speak,
"hey assault, are you okay"
hendri spent his time with the fall, he answered the stranger's question by waving his hand,
"no"
"you rarely get on a boat, inexplicably a big storm for a few days, when before a storm like this did not last long, at most only a few hours"
"hey assault, you want to find your grandfather right"
hendri quickly opened his eyes upon hearing that.
with his hands still trembling he wrote,
"what do you know about me"
"i don't know much, my name is jason ripe, you are hendri graham right, the grandson of prof. graham"
"do you know where ?"hendri was alert
"just relax, sir, we're on the same side"
"i was one of the members of the black leaves resistance. If you suspect black leaves kidnapped your grandfather then you're wrong"
"you mean it was your group that kidnapped my grandfather" said hendri, he became more vigilant
"i can help you meet your grandfather, come to our headquarters and you'll meet your grandfather"
"can't you explain more details"
"if you want the full story, I'll tell you when we get off the ship"
suddenly a cannon penetrated the body of the ship,
jason and Henry were surprised
"what the hell was that" hendri asked
"pirates attacked our ship's entourage"
as if a fierce storm and violent waves were not enough now appeared the pirate troupe
this cruise will be the worst.
