Volume 7: Da Mu Da Mu Chapter 3: The Harmless Little Secret of the Pirate King's Wife
Only three hours had passed since Arkham Asylum was blown up and all the prisoners fled, but the already terrible crime rate curve in Gotham City had already reached a peak.
There have been no less than eight bank robberies since early morning till now, and various home robberies and armed assaults have increased sharply. The entire city's police system is operating at full capacity.
But you can't expect Gotham City police to stop crime.
We are all trying to make a living, so don't force them to do things they don't want to do or can't do.
Apart from Commissioner Gordon and his cronies who were able to act quickly, the chaos in other areas was difficult to curb quickly.
The young master was already exhausted from running around putting out fires with a few of his "friends in the circle", and it was not that he did not want to get involved in the kidnapping of the K team's family members.
He really doesn't have time.
Besides, does Team K need to provide such luxurious equipment by himself?
What a joke!
It was a blessing that they did not start indiscriminately slaughtering criminals in the city after the child was kidnapped. The young master sent four cars of people to the hospital in the morning and was so tired that he wanted to ask for secret assistance from the Laisheng Bar.
He also had enough reason to ask for help because it was all Mason's fault!
It was he who hollowed out the once powerful Bat Family. Now only the eldest son is left to hold up Gotham's situation miserably. It is only right to ask them for help.
He did get help after making the call, but it was not the kind he imagined.
"Bang"
The sharp sound of gunfire rang out in Naihe Island, and the two streets in this slum turned into a "battlefield".
A group of violent criminals who escaped from Arkham were being pinned down in an alley by two teams of vicious gunmen, with grenades thrown in from time to time to make a noise.
"How dare you break into the Penguin Gang's territory?"
A hoarse voice echoed outside the alley, cursing rudely:
"Lay down your weapons and surrender! Boss Oswald has given the order. If you continue to resist, you will all be sunk into Gotham Harbor."
"You're fucking crazy!"
A violent voice jumped up and down in the alley and cursed:
"The Penguin died a long time ago in the fire at Blackgate Prison, you idiot, the whole of Gotham knows the news, and you're still going crazy, can't you even recognize your own boss?
Listen!
We are following the two-faced leader. Please give us a favor and let us go. We will leave immediately and will reward you handsomely later."
"What? Two-Face?"
The Penguin Gang's henchmen and gunmen outside looked at each other, then burst into laughter.
They sarcastically said:
"The two-faced leader has long been allied with our Penguin Gang. Which two-faced person are you following? Can't you tell a lie? It's obvious that you have bad intentions. Brothers, attack!
The boss said that if you kill one of them, you will be rewarded 2,000 yuan, no upper limit."
"Bang, bang, bang"
More deafening gunshots then echoed throughout the area.
The same situation also happened in other dark areas of Gotham. After the "big guys" of Arkham Asylum ran out, they found that not only was their territory occupied, but it was also occupied by "themselves".
Two-Face, Penguin, Killer Croc, Black Mask, etc., all look very realistic. They are obviously imprisoned in Arkham, but in the legends of Gotham, they seem to have never left.
What is going on?
Where did these fakes who acted even more fiercely than me come from? Could it be that they came from another world? This Gotham City is really becoming more and more magical. Are these old guys out of date and can't keep up with the latest version?
"Tell me again! What happened in Audisburg?"
Commissioner Gordon heard the police station's report while sitting in a speeding police car, but the content of the report left this middle-aged man who was recently enjoying a twilight romance a little confused.
The police on the other end of the line shouted in panic:
"It was the Black Mask gang's henchmen and gunmen who were chasing the escaped Black Mask! A gunfight broke out between the two gangs in front of the police station! Black Mask was suppressed by his own gang members and requested to enter the police station for refuge!
In addition, the Riddler who escaped from prison has been confirmed to have been seriously injured by the bomb and was sent to Thomas and Martha Charity Hospital for emergency treatment. According to the report of the eyewitness informant, it was the Riddler's bomb that injured the Riddler. "
"Asshole! I asked you to report the situation, not to say tongue twisters! If you are so good at rapping, why don't you go to the talent show on Gotham Grand Stage? Say it again, and be clear this time."
Commissioner Gordon was extremely angry.
He scolded:
"Also, why are there two Black Masks? And one of them is seeking refuge in the police station? This must be a conspiracy by cunning criminals. Don't let him in!"
"Uh, no thanks, Chief. "
The sound of gunfire on the other end of the phone weakened a lot. After a few seconds, the police officer took a deep breath and reported:
"The Black Mask who escaped from prison was just shot dead by the Black Mask Gang. His head was blown apart. The gunmen are leaving now. We can just go out and collect his body."
"What the hell is going on..."
"boom"
Before Gordon could finish his scolding, a loud bang exploded on the street in front of him.
The sudden flames instantly engulfed three police cars. Then, on the panic-stricken streets, several dark figures descended from the sky in some kind of flying wing. They confirmed the nearby terrain and reported to their superiors beside the destroyed vehicles:
"We have captured the movement location of the Black of Decay. We are entering the city sewers to prepare for capture. We are ready to provide support at any time."
After saying that, several men in black opened the sewer entrance and filed in.
In the already chaotic Gotham City, this explosion did not seem so surprising, and the police and superheroes who were tied up all over the city had no time to pay attention here.
But more than ten seconds later, the overturned police car suddenly moved.
Amid the sharp sound of metal tearing, Commissioner Gordon, who was covered in black and gray and looked miserable, kicked open the twisted door, climbed out of the car unharmed, and carried out several seriously injured police officers and put them on the roadside. After contacting the police team, he squinted his eyes and looked at the sewer opening on the ground that had been closed again.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Sheriff Gordon kicked open the trunk of the police car, took out a box, dragged it out, opened it and took a look.
This was the "self-defense" stuff sent to him by his beloved daughter and adopted son Mason, with whom he had not eaten for a long time. It contained two guns, one long and one short, a round shield made of strange material, and a set of lightweight special bulletproof vests.
Commissioner Gordon clenched his fists. He could feel the strength hidden in his tense muscles.
This is his secret.
Last Father's Day, Barbara came home with a special injection that Mason had made just for him, and he was now one of those superhumans.
Rather than being a superhero, he prefers to be a dedicated policeman in the chaotic cesspool city of Gotham.
But now when the police can't solve the problem, he has to take action under another secret identity.
"Okay... 'Sheriff Man', move out!"
Commissioner Gordon waved his fist in a very childish manner, quickly put on a special combat suit to arm himself, grabbed the round shield, pulled down the mask on his head, kicked open the sewer entrance and jumped in, chasing after those mysterious people and searching underground in the city.
His many years of experience as a police officer told him that the sudden chaos in the city was closely related to this group of strange guys, and the "black decay" they just mentioned...
What on earth is that?
…
"I have captured the locator signals of the two children and are heading to the sea off Gotham."
The figure of the kite man flew forward at a high altitude of several thousand meters. The Vulture Modified Flying Wing used for combat was full of power. Charles locked onto a yacht in the vast ocean ahead and reported to the Next Life Bar after confirming the signal:
"I need submersible bionic warriors to wait for rescue underwater. Judy, I will take care of Two-Face and Scarecrow on the boat. They don't have many men with them, so there's no need to send more people.
The situation in the city is getting a little bad, you must defend the bar to prevent it from being invaded."
"Wait a minute, Charles!"
Judy said to Kite Man on the communicator:
"Madam Elizabeth is here. She wants to talk to you alone. Don't worry about the bar. Arasaka Hanako brought back all the data and information about the rotten and stinking Arasaka Industries. We can form an army if necessary.
Communications transferred to Elizabeth Swann."
"Buzz"
After the faint electromagnetic sound, the kite man who was about to descend heard the voice of Lady Elizabeth. The former pirate king who had rushed over from Osborne Tower was a little out of breath, but still said in a steady tone:
"Come back, Charles. I will personally rescue my son and Barbossa's daughter. Please return to the city immediately. We need your firepower support from the sky."
"Can you do it?"
The kite flyer said in surprise:
"Did you bring your vassal army with you? Didn't the boss say it's not time for you to go out yet?"
"No, I came back alone."
A modified black luxury car drove out of the garage of the Afterlife Bar into the street, speeding towards the pier at a speed that should not have appeared in the city.
Mrs. Elizabeth, who was holding the steering wheel with both hands, had anger flashing in her beautiful eyes. She explained to the car communication station:
"The sea is not your home battlefield, and I guess those guys must have the support of the Legion of Doom. Mason has a new mission for you. Return to the bar as soon as possible and wait.
As for whether I can do it or not... I am the Pirate King! Charles, I can ride on any sea in the world.
That’s my territory.”
"Well, if you insist."
The kite man responded, changed direction and flew towards the city, saying:
"Then I'll leave it to you."
"Bang"
The speeding black luxury car rammed into the two taxis blocking the road in front of it, and cleared a street with an extremely violent attitude. After entering the highway leading to Miller Port, Elizabeth contacted Osborne Tower through the transfer channel of the Afterlife Bar and sent a communication request.
A few seconds later, Mason's depressed voice sounded from the car speakers, saying:
"What's going on today? Unexpected communications one after another. Well, Elizabeth, I heard your decision from Charles. Why did you call me before you took action?"
"I'm sorry I kept something from you before, Captain."
Elizabeth looked at the harbor and the sea ahead and said in a hoarse voice:
"My husband left me something before he left me for the last time. It was a secret between us.
And now, because shameless fools have kidnapped my son and the blood orphan of my best friend, I have decided to use it.
I asked Jack and he suggested asking your permission."
"I guess you must be hiding something. It's not hard to guess."
Mason was not surprised. He said:
“After all, you have been hiding from me since the destruction of the pirate world. It is not difficult to guess that you have something to hide from me due to this strange behavior.
But I never interfere with the private lives of my teammates, so I just ask one question: Will the means you are going to use have any adverse impact on the world you live in?
You see, we are preparing for a potentially devastating war on that world."
"No, not at all."
Mrs. Elizabeth turned the steering wheel and crashed through the blockade gate of Miller Port at super high speed, then made a graceful emergency stop to open the door.
Still wearing the camouflage uniform of the vassal army commander and a training cap, she strode out, running forward on the ground with high-top combat boots, her tied hair flying behind her head.
She pulled out her pistol and drove away the staff who tried to stop her. She quickly approached the pier and took out a unique bone necklace from her neck while saying:
"This is just a souvenir my husband left me. Turner hopes that when it is gone, his companions can protect us, mother and son."
"Okay, I won't ask any more questions then."
Mason paused, then asked another question. He said:
"After the world was destroyed, have you contacted Captain Will Turner? Is he working with Old J now? Or is he working on his own?"
"He and his Ghost Fleet were incorporated into the Liquidators."
Lady Elizabeth cut her wrist with the necklace and threw it into the sea. She stared at the violent sea breeze and the yacht that was no longer visible in the distance, and replied in a low voice:
"Perhaps we will see each other soon, perhaps in the upcoming invasion war."
"So, what you mean is that you planted a force in the Cleaner Corps for Team K that could turn against them at any time? And you are asking me to punish you for this behavior?"
Mason said cheerfully:
“No, no, no, this is the only good news I have heard today, Madam Elizabeth. I need you to issue a written report detailing your current contact information with Turner.
Now, I won't disturb you from saving your son and Serena. My advice to you is to keep a low profile, okay?"
"Well, that's probably not possible."
Lady Elizabeth sighed, and then a huge vortex of a supergiant star burst out from the sea in front of her.
Amid the panicked screams of the dock workers behind him, a huge gray-white tentacle as white as a dead person's skin suddenly pierced through the sea surface and stood up. It looked like the arm of some giant deep-sea creature.
But this tentacle alone that stretched out from the water was nearly thirty meters long. It was no exaggeration to say that this tentacle was enough to flatten half of the dock.
Lady Elizabeth stood there without moving, just letting the tentacle hang down and wrap around her with the tip covered with suction cups and strange sharp teeth.
"Kraken..."
She patted the rough skin of the dead Kraken that had been resurrected by voodoo and said to it:
"They took away my child with Will Turner, the offspring of your master. Go! Bring back Henry and Serena, and bring back the daring kidnappers as well.
I'll let them experience firsthand how the pirates punish offenders.
But they will not die, and the establishment of New York County still needs many, many coolies. "
The Kraken made a low roaring sound under the water.
The gray tentacles quickly retracted into the water, and then it sank into the ocean of another world amidst the huge waves, going to carry out punishment according to the orders of the mistress and the former Pirate King.
At this time, Two-Face, Scarecrow and their minions were still on the yacht making plans, completely unaware of the impending disaster.
"If what we heard is true, then this matter will be very troublesome."
The two-faced man tossed the coin in his hand with a gloomy face and said to the scarecrow :
"The Legion of Doom claims they don't believe the Justice League can save the world, but I always feel like we should give Batman and Superman a little more confidence in this kind of thing.
Do you really believe in Luther?"
"You'd be foolish to trust him."
The crazy scarecrow wore a rough mask and carried a black sickle on his back. He said in a hoarse voice:
"But this doesn't stop us from joining a powerful villain society. Gotham City has changed. Harvey and the Court of Owls have begun to operate openly. This damn place is no longer suitable for us.
As villains, we have to find a suitable way for ourselves... Well, look! Luthor sent someone to pick us up."
He pointed ahead and shouted.
Two-Face looked up and saw a strange black submarine floating on the open sea, and the two could see Black Manta's iconic big head and red-eyed helmet from afar.
There were also two kidnapped and tender children on the yacht. They were their bargaining chips for joining the Legion of Doom and seizing the position of leader.
"He's waving at us. Look how excited he is."
The Scarecrow laughed.
But the more Two-Face looked at it, the more something seemed wrong. Black Manta's moving hands didn't seem to be welcoming them, but more like warning them that there was danger...
Underwater?
"Crash"
The next second, as Two-Face, Scarecrow and their gun-wielding minions stared in amazement, six terrifying gray-white tentacles sprang up from all around like giant pillars supporting the heaven and earth.
Without giving them any time to react, the white yacht was wrapped up and then pulled into the deep sea with a loud bang.
The terrified screams of Two-Face and Scarecrow changed in pitch in the water.
But unfortunately, the deterrent effect of a dozen small pistols against a Kraken is very limited.
Having offended Team K, you still want to join the Legion of Doom and restart your glorious villain life?
Oh, let’s talk about it next life.
