General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 378 Blatant declaration of war!
New World, Dressrosa.

In the palace hall at the top of the towering Royal Capital Heights, Doflamingo was leaning on the spacious window sill, overlooking the jubilant fighting fish arena in the distance.

On the ring in the center of the open-air arena, which imitated the Tianlong people's favorite arena style and spent a huge amount of money to build it one-to-one, and could accommodate [-] spectators, a brutal fight was taking place.

Warriors from the long-hand tribe, the long-legged tribe, the fish-men tribe, the giant tribe, the little human tribe, and the long-necked tribe are attacking each other with swords in hand and ferocious faces.

In the stands, the spectators, excited by the blood and the constant loss of life, were laughing heartily and throwing away the banknotes in their hands.

Some gamblers who participated in the gladiator life-and-death bet would let out excited screams or sharp curses because the gladiator they were betting on was alive or dead.

A brutal and bloody fight made countless gentlemen take off their disguises, revealing the darkness under their skins.

This kind of show is Doflamingo's favorite.

once.

Well, at least 33 years ago, most of the Draco people living in Mariejoia liked this show.

But later, because of the appearance of a certain man, this program that belonged exclusively to the Tianlong people was stained with the blood of the organizer.

Since then, the gods high in the clouds have no longer come to celebrate every three years as they did 33 years ago.

They were afraid.

The arena in Dressrosa actually existed before Doflamingo came to this country.

But it was not built by the family of King Riku, the former king of Dressrosa.

The Douyu Arena was built hundreds of years ago by the Don Quixote family for the celebration of the Celestial Dragons.

This country belongs to him, Doflamingo, King Riku and the others are the outsiders.

While listening to Vergo's narration on the phone in his hand, Doflamingo watched the brutal fighting in the arena, but in his mind he was imagining that one day, he could conquer the scale of the fighting in the arena. Expanded to a hundred times or a thousand times what it is now.

Just like the celebration held every three years by the Tianlong people 33 years ago.

It would be best if those great gods and those five old ghosts could also participate in person.

In order to repay the 'favour' that he had carried his father's head into Mary Joa, but was ruthlessly rejected.

Thinking of this, Doflamingo couldn't help but open the corners of his mouth in an exaggerated arc, and let out a weird smile.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, one day, I will be the organizer of that ultimate competition..."

At this moment, Virgo's voice suddenly stopped in the phone bug, and then, there was a loud noise from the other side of the phone bug.

The sudden change caused Doflamingo's expression to change. He took the phone and asked in a deep voice, "Virgo! What happened to you over there?"

No one answered.

After the loud buzzing on the other end of the phone, the communication was suddenly interrupted.

This kind of interruption doesn't look like someone hung up on me.

It seems that the phone bug on Vergo's side suddenly died.

"Virgo is currently at the G5 naval base. There are four to five thousand naval personnel stationed on the island. How could something unexpected happen suddenly?"

Doflamingo turned over and sat up, his expression becoming serious little by little.

He reached out to contact Diamanti, Don Quixote's top leader, and asked him to send Vergo's contact to the G5 island to investigate the situation.

To him, Vergo was as close to him as Diamanti.

His loyalty, strength, and steady style of doing things are all things Doflamingo values ​​​​very much.

But before Doflamingo could dial the phone, the door of the hall was knocked open by a strong force. Diamanti, whose face was covered in sweat, rushed in in a panic, holding a copy of newspaper.

"Dover, Dover! It's terrible, it's terrible! The new world is going to change!"

Before Doflamingo could speak, Diamanti thrust the newspaper in her hand over.

Doflamingo looked down, his pupils shrank instantly, and the domineering aura in his body was involuntarily released.

"This is!"

New world, the strongest village in the world, Elbaf.

In the huge and empty tavern, which is like a human palace, tall and muscular figures sit in front of tables and chairs that are seven or eight meters high and made of the thickest logs, making a sound like rolling thunder from their mouths. , chatting with each other.

"Every time I come here, I feel that human beings are so small. Compared to the giants of Elbaf, even Snake and Lu, the tallest among us, are like underage children in front of them. ."

Jesus Bu, who was holding a wine barrel as tall as a person and flushed from drinking, sighed with emotion.

The wine barrel that was equivalent to his entire height was actually just a wine glass in the hands of the giants.

"Hahahaha, don't say that." Shanks, who was leaning in front of the bar with his clothes open, pointed to a few giant children with runny noses and four or five meters tall beside him, and said with a smile: "Even if they are giants, The kids are much taller than them, okay?”

"Are you an idiot? Shanks, you compare humans to giants, why don't you compare small humans to us humans?" Rakiru, whose body was as fat as a balloon, kept chewing the big ball in his hand. Chicken legs, a vague sneer.

"Hahaha, red hair, although your body size is not as good as our giants, in terms of strength, you are not weaker than us at all. Am I right? Brocky."

"It's absolutely true. Even we can't accept it. Human beings' seemingly small bodies contain huge potential that even our giants would envy."

Two giants, who were stronger and taller than ordinary giants, sat side by side beside Shanks, with hearty smiles on their faces.

"Captain Brockie and Captain Dongli were joking. When you two went out to sea, we were not even born. Rather than your potential, I still envy your giants' long lifespan and being able to witness the changes in history."

Shanks smiled and raised his glass.

But at this moment, the door of the tavern was pushed open. Beckman, with a cigarette in his mouth, strode over with a solemn face and a newspaper. Before he got closer, he said in a deep voice: "Shanks, It’s time to leave, something big has happened in the new world.”

"Ah? Why? Obviously we have just arrived at Elbafu. I heard that Dongli and Captain Brocky were back, so we came all the way to have a look." Shanks was stunned.

Brocki and Dongli, who were drinking, were also shocked and said: "What's so urgent? We haven't taken you to see Prince Loki yet."

Looking at Beckman with an extremely solemn expression, Shanks also knew that something was definitely not normal. Otherwise, as the calmest vice-captain in the red-haired pirate group, Beckman would not show such an expression.

When Shanks took the newspaper from Beckman and looked at the familiar figures on the cover with four large magenta swords sitting on a large round table, his expression suddenly changed.

"Sure enough, it's a big event! Damn it, is the balance that has just been formed in this sea about to be broken by an old ghost who has disappeared for many years? Bastard! Does he know how many people will be killed by doing this? !”

The violently fluctuating state of mind allowed Shanks to release a little of his irrepressible momentum.

At this moment, a terrifying aura like the power of heaven emerged from his small body.

The terrible pressure caused Elbaf, a village known as the strongest in the world, to fall into a brief deathly silence.

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

A few seconds later, somewhere deep in the Elbaf Island, somewhere unknown, as if in response to Shanks' momentum, a majestic momentum as thick as a mountain rose into the sky.

Looking at the giants in the tavern behind him who were stunned by the aura he inadvertently released, Shanks apologized to the astonished Broki and Dongli: "I'm sorry, Captain Dongli, I have to leave first. Next time I have a chance, I will come back and bring an apology."

He placed the newspaper he was holding on the bar of the tavern, and followed Beckman out of the tavern quickly.Behind him, the red-haired pirates followed closely, none of them losing their previous relaxed posture.

In a few minutes, the world-famous Redfords left the waters of Elbaf and sailed towards the Sphinx Island.

On the deck, Shanks took out the Phone Bug.

"Fortunately, I didn't see Whitebeard inside. Otherwise, I really don't know where the future of this world will go."

He cast his gaze to the endless sea ahead, where dark clouds began to gather and strong winds began to rise.

An unprecedented storm is coming.

Marine Headquarters Marine Fando.

What arrived earlier than the newspapers delivered by Newsbird was the Telephone Bug communication from the New World.

Sengoku was sitting at his desk, listening to the intelligence information coming out of the phone bug. His old face kept twitching, his teeth clenched, and his eyes behind round-framed glasses were wide and filled with bloodshot threads.

"Surprisingly, it turned out that Rorschach was right!!"

On the other end of the phone was an intelligence officer arranged by the Navy in the New World to report.

The Warring States Period had no doubts about its authenticity.

Because this kind of shocking information cannot be hidden at all.

And the most important thing is that the other party has no intention of hiding it at all.

Warring States gritted his teeth and stood up from behind the table. Just as he was about to get up and go out, the phone in his hand rang again.

This time, it was Wulaoxing calling.

Obviously, the World Government also knew about this huge news.

With a creak, the door to the Marshal's office was pushed open, and Lieutenant General He, who always had a smile on his face, appeared at the door with a solemn expression.

"Warring States..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard Warring States say in a deep voice: "Xiaohe, I know everything. You go and make preparations and spread the news to all naval branches as quickly as possible. We have to do it in the shortest time." Gather your forces and head to the new world!”

He slammed his clenched fist on the table in front of him, making a dull sound.

"Initiate a war mobilization order! Gather the elite and prepare to fight!"

Underground in Malinfando, in Vegapunk's science laboratory.

Enelu, who looked unhappy, was lying on a workbench with his upper body naked, and his body was covered with various patches.

Metal tubes connected these patches, hooked together, and ended into a precision instrument that Rorschach couldn't understand.

Lilith, whose face was full of enthusiasm, stood in front of the instrument with a flushed face, recording some data, and from time to time stretched out her hand to touch Anilu's body, looking at the little face of Skylark standing beside her. flushed.

Luo Xia's mouth twitched and she shook her head secretly.

He really didn't know whether Lilith was really doing scientific research, or was trying to attack Enelu, a precious species, under the guise of scientific research.

What exactly is going on in the mind of this evil clone of Vegapunk, I'm afraid only she knows.

He didn't care about this. After all, Enelu wouldn't lose a piece of flesh after being touched a few times.

On the contrary, the electric drive engine matching the Qilin is already being manufactured.

Three sets of scientific battle suits have also been acquired, and he gave them to Skylark, Luo, and Bebo respectively.

Those three combat uniforms are not like the ones worn by Yuji and can only be used by those who are bound to the blood factor.

Lilith's methods are obviously much better than Gaji's.

She lifts this restriction, allowing the suit to be used by anyone.

These combat uniforms are quite good and can provide a lot of combat power bonus to Skylark and the others.

The battle suit made of memory metal has dozens of abilities such as flight, speed increase, electric shock, strength increase, defense bonus, invisibility, seawater isolation, etc.

The function is not unpowerful.

When he got it, even he couldn't help but try it.

After experiencing the novelty of transformation, Rorschach still gave the battle suit to Skylark.

For his current strength, the combat effectiveness bonus of this battle suit is almost equivalent to nothing.

Not only that, it may also limit his power play.

After all, the material of this battle suit cannot withstand the impact of hundreds of millions of volts of electric current.

But for Yunque, Luo and Bebo, it was a great help.

Lilith's scientific research laboratory is actually quite boring.

After all, this is Malinfando, not Danjian Island. The reason why Lilith comes back every now and then is just to provide technical guidance for the Hailoushi steel wall that is under construction.

There is neither the Pacifist Unit-[-] under research here, nor the many high-end research projects that Rorschach had previously learned about from Zhan Taomaru.

He was originally thinking about whether he could feed his Heavenly Dragon Halberd a Devil Fruit or something.

As a result, Lilith rolled her eyes at him angrily.

"Stop dreaming. Your weapon is almost turning into a black sword. How can you eat it? There is indeed a technology for eating Devil Fruit with non-biological substances, but it requires fusing the Devil Fruit with the material of the object and using special methods to create it. The strength is too high Neither the material nor the overly powerful Devil Fruit would make the experiment successful.”

The reason for the former is very simple. Rorschach wants the Heavenly Dragon Halberd to eat Devil Fruit. Yes, he can break the Heavenly Dragon Halberd first and rebuild it, so that the two materials can be fully mixed.

As for the latter, Lilith was very vague about what desires, consciousness, etc. could not be carried by the material.

In short, it’s okay if you don’t understand.

In fact, Rorschach had already given up on that idea when he heard that the weapon had to be broken before it could eat the Devil Fruit.

The Tianlong Halberd is so hard that even if it is hit with an electric current of [-] million volts, it won't do anything. Who knows what kind of metal it is made of.

Perhaps there is also the reason why it has been nourished by domineering energy for hundreds of years.

If he could break this ancient halberd that was about to transform into a black sword, wouldn't it be like beating the Yonko with one punch?

Just as he was thinking about all this, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

As soon as Luo Xia connected, he heard the voice of Lieutenant General He.

"Rorschach, come to the conference hall to assemble. The Golden Lion has declared war on us."
