Chapter 768: Jolly Roger
They had stamped their map and saw there was both number 15 in both red and blue color. They took out the last riddle and started to read it.
"Hmm, \'The numbers on the stamps are a hint. Find out treasures!\'"
Ran and Sonoko went to the diving shop to ask whether they could rent the boat.
Yamaguchi was in the diving shop since she was free until tonight. She didn\'t need to help him and went to the diving shop to help. She looked at them and said, "My boss went to go check on the situation of the sea. Please wait for a moment."
"Okay."
"Sorry to keep you waiting," Mabuchi came toward them and apologized, "Sorry! I don\'t think we can go out to sea today. The waves are stormy."
"That\'s too bad," Sonoko sighed.
"But nothing can be done," Ran said.
"Let\'s just go to a beach then," Yamaguchi said.
The door of the diving shop suddenly opened.
"Good morning, Uehira-san," Yamaguchi said.
"Good morning," Uehira said with an uncomfortable expression.
"Why do you look so serious? Did something happen?" Mabuchi asked.
Uehira looked at her and said, "Chika-chan, please come with me."
Mabuchi suddenly felt a bad premonition all of a sudden.
"Inspector Megure would like to talk to you," Uehira said.
Ran, Sonoko, and Yamaguchi looked at Mabuchi and Uehira who had gone out. They were a bit worried but they were confident that nothing would happen to her. They went to the outside of the shop to get into the car to go to the beach.
"What does Inspector Megure want from Mabuchi?" Sonoko asked.
"Is this related to the case?" Ran said.
They were talking to each other while walking.
"There must be some kind of misunderstanding," Yamaguchi said, and added, "Get in the car first." She needed to take something from the warehouse.
"Yes." Sonoko and Ran answered.
Yamaguchi, who wanted to take equipment to play, suddenly startled when she saw an oxygen tube dropped in front of her.
"Please put this in the car too," one of the treasure hunters said.
Yamaguchi had an ugly expression, "Don\'t you dare..."
Ran, who wanted to enter the car, stopped but she heard someone order her.
"You get in the car too!"
Ran turned and saw a man put a knife on Sonoko\'s neck.
"You don\'t want your friend to get injured, right?"
Ran was angry and saw that both of the treasure hunters threatened her friends with a knife. She couldn\'t do anything and could only agree with their demand.
They didn\'t go back together but they went separate ways since they wanted to compete with each other who could solve the riddle first.
Yuuki went back along with everyone to see the riddle on the map.
"So the last riddle is these numbers on the map?" Hinako asked.
"Yes, this number and the color must have some meaning," Akeno said.
"I don\'t understand, nyaa!" Kuroka said.
Yuuki nodded and asked, "How about we cut these numbers first?"
They nodded and cut the number separating them. They divided the number by their color.
Yuuki thought for a bit and said, "It might be the alphabet."
"Alphabet!" They nodded and started to arrange these clues together.
There are 10 numbers on the map. Five numbers in red color and Five number in blue color.
They started with the red color which contained number 12, 10, 12, 25, and 15. The blue color which contained number 7, 18, 5, 18, and 15. They started to change it into an alphabet and arranged it into a sentence.
"Jolly Roger!"
They were happy when they could finish the riddle.
"So where is the treasure?" Ranko asked.
"So what is Jolly Roger?" Mayuki asked.
"Jolly Roger or it is a Happy Roger," Haibara said.
"You\'re very smart!" Kuina praised.
"Thank you," Haibara nodded.
"....." Yuuki was a bit speechless but didn\'t say anything.
"Jolly Roger is something that sailors in the 17th century didn\'t want to see. This name consists of \'Jolly Rouge,\' which means \'Red Flag\' and \'Old Roger\' which means \'Devil\'," Kuina explained.
"Devil..." Akeno nodded.
"How did you know that?" Tsugumi was confused when this happy girl was the one who told them all of this.
"I have eat-- No, read it in the book before," Kuina answered with a smile.
\'She has eaten it,\' everyone who was familiar with her knew that this girl must have eaten a book about a pirate in the past.
"So the clue is in this flag, right?" Yukana said and pointed at the flag on the map.
Koneko observed the map and said, "Isn\'t the teeth of the skull similar to an alphabet?"
They observed the teeth of the skull and it was right.
"D - O - S D - I - O - S - A - S."
"Dos diosas or a twin goddesses," Utaha said.
"Twin goddesses should be something related to Anne Bonnie and Mary Read," Chiaki said.
Ranko gulped, "Do you think this is a map of a real treasure?"
"..."
"It should be," Utaha nodded.
They looked at him and said, "Yuuki, let\'s go and get this treasure!"
"..." Yuuki could see that they were very excited. He nodded and said, "Alright, let\'s check this Yoroiyajima Island. These two goddesses might be a statue or something for an entrance of the treasure."
They nodded and became very excited.
"That\'s right, what about our pirate uniform?" Akeno asked.
"I prepared it over there," Yuuki said and pointed his finger at the rack of clothes.
They saw a variety of pirate clothes there and couldn\'t help but become excited.
"How do we get there?" Mayuki asked.
"Don\'t worry, I have prepared a ship for us," Yuuki said.
"Where?" Kuina asked.
"In the beach, after you have changed, we can go to the ship," Yuuki said.
They nodded and started to change their clothes.
They went to the beach and opened their mouths wide to see a large fleet with a model similar to a pirate ship in the past.
"This... This is awesome!" Kuina said and ran toward the ship.
"W - Wait Kuu-chan!" Mayuki started to chase her.
"..."
"Did you make it with your magic?" Tsugumi asked.
"Yes," Yuuki nodded.
"What\'s the name of this ship?" Utaha asked.
"Golden Wild Hunt," Yuuki answered.
"As expected, your magic is cheating!" Akane complained.
"Thank you for your compliment," Yuuki answered.
They didn\'t hesitate and entered the ship together. They saw the sky turn cloudy and it started to drizzle but they were pirates. They would find the treasure and get it back for their souvenirs.
Yamaguchi used all of her power to come where Kogorou was staying. Her head was very dizzy since she had been hit by an oxygen tube before but she needed to tell him as soon as possible.
"Yamaguchi-san, what\'s wrong?" Conan asked.
"R - Ran and Sonoko is kidnapped by the treasure hunters...." Yamaguchi said and fainted.
"Oi! Wake up!" The old man who was the owner of the house was startled.
Conan clenched his hands and knew that he needed to save her crush.
