General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 423 Gage's Ambition

Beihai, the former capital of King Prince.

Isolated by an inland sea and located on a mountain wall, a series of white buildings with onion roofs form the royal palace of the Prince Kingdom.

Now, this centuries-old palace has welcomed its new owner after Prince Grus, the last heir to the Prince Kingdom, announced that he had given up his right to inherit the throne a year ago.

On the towering arched dome, the flag with white letters on a black background and the pattern of the castle and 66 is being blown away by the sea breeze.

On the long and narrow bridge, the only passage in front of the palace, two muscular men with big shoulders and round waists stood every ten meters.

In this winter, when the temperature is close to several degrees below zero, these strong men are still wearing short-sleeved shirts.

It can be seen from their skin that was red from the cold that the strong men were not incapable of feeling the cold.

Some of the hair, cuffs, and collars were even frozen to the bone.

But even so, the men lined up in two rows all stood upright with their heads held high, guarding the bridge in the strong sea breeze without looking back.

Opposite the palace, the inner city of the royal capital connected by bridges has long since lost its original residences, taverns, and amusement parks, replaced by long strips of research bases and steel chimneys sticking straight into the air.

There are strong men of different sizes but almost identical looks. They are either pushing heavy carts, transporting various steel materials, or carrying some oval glass objects, like hard-working worker bees. Busy in the hive.

These strong men are the clone warriors of the Vinsmoke family, the capital of the Germa Legion that stands proudly in the North Sea.

There are also more sallow and skinny civilians working in these steel factories.

These citizens who belonged to the original Prince Kingdom became the labor force exploited by Germa after he took over the country.

In the open space in front of a factory filled with black smoke, Iji looked at the hundred clone warriors neatly arranged in front of him. He raised a wanton smile at the corner of his mouth, slowly untied the combat uniform he was wearing, and took off his clothes. He picked it up and threw it to Yongji who was standing next to him.

He clenched his fists, and his bones made a crackling sound. He said coldly to the hundreds of soldiers holding various weapons in front of him: "Attack me with all your strength until you die."

"Yes!" One hundred clone warriors responded in unison and dispersed, forming a three-tiered circle formation, surrounding Iji, who had his upper body exposed.

The innermost row of clone warriors were all hunched with muscles, holding hands with each other and facing Iji with their rock-like chests, forming a human wall.

The clone warriors in the second row carried spears on their backs and held flintlock guns, Gatlings, crossbows and various long-range weapons in their hands.

The soldiers in the third row were the tallest, nearly four meters each. On their shoulders, they all carried rocket launchers like cannons.

In addition to having no protective gear on their bodies, each clone warrior was armed to the teeth with a large number of weapons.

"Start." Yongzhi Shiran lay on a wicker chair outside the venue, picked up a cup of hot coffee, took a sip, and casually ordered.

As soon as he finished speaking, the deafening roar of gunfire rang out in the square.

The various weapons held in the hands of the clone warriors began to spit out tongues of fire crazily, pouring a violent storm of firepower towards Iji standing in the center of the field.

In an instant, thousands of bullets, hundreds of artillery shells, various crossbow arrows, and even small missiles and torpedoes flew out of the clone warriors' hands and bombarded Iji.

Facing such a terrifying covering fire strike, Iji did not panic. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth into a bloodthirsty smile.

He kicked off his feet, and the solid rock floor beneath him burst into pieces. His figure drew a phantom-like black line amidst the overwhelming artillery fire. The domineering look on his body spread out, and he locked onto the weakest firepower point with incomparable accuracy. path, charging straight forward.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Boom boom boom!"

A large number of bullets were fired at him, but he just raised his left arm and blocked it in front of him, letting the bullets that were as dense as locusts hit him all over the body.

The muscles under his skin tightened and bulged, making his body harder than steel.

A large number of bullets hit his body, making an explosion of gold and iron. Then the bullets hit his body and crushed it, clinking and falling down below him without even scratching his skin.

Whenever a cannonball was fired towards him, Iji would punch out decisively and explode the incoming cannonball in the air.

The intense rising flames could not harm his fist at all.

Seeing him getting closer, no matter how many shells there were, they couldn't stop his progress. A four-meter-tall clone warrior held up a thick barrel with his thick arms.

What was stuffed in the barrel was not a cannonball, but a spear as thick as an arm with a forked blade at the top.

This is actually not a weapon, but a fishing gear used to catch large sea kings.

In terms of pure power, it is indeed ten times that of ordinary rocket launchers.

Even the hundreds of meters long sea king type with bone armor on its body cannot withstand the shooting of such a spear.

Once hit, it will inevitably be penetrated.

I saw the giant man pulling the trigger in front of Iji's face.

In an instant, the sharp spear propelled by gunpowder flew out of the barrel, roared sharply in the air, and shot towards Iji with a swish.

"Spark Punch!"

Facing this steel spear that was invisible to the naked eye, a dark armed domineering force appeared on the surface of his tightly clenched right fist. He punched the air in front of him and hit the top of the incoming spear.

Accompanied by an obscure explosion, the spear flew back and penetrated the giant man's chest with a pop, opening a hole as big as a bowl in his heart.

The clone warrior's heart and mouth continued to spurt out blood, and his huge body shook and collapsed.

And Iji, who knocked away the spear with one punch, also rushed into the crowd of clone warriors.

He was like a sharp knife, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, instantly blasting away a shower of blood in the crowd.

"Oh!"

A dark punch hit the neck of a clone warrior, denting his thick neck. The bulging Adam's apple was shattered by the punch, and the cervical vertebrae wrapped in muscles cracked and shattered, and the skin and flesh cracked. Broken, a head was thrown high from the neck.

A clone warrior threw away the gun in his hand, drew out the spear from his back, and stabbed Iji in the face.

Iji showed no expression on his face as he kicked out and used the sole of his shoeless foot to bend the thrusting spear and smash it back into the opponent's body.

With a loud bang, the clone warrior's entire chest exploded, and all the bones and internal organs inside were shattered. Iji's right foot penetrated from his chest and came out from his back.

"Bang bang bang!"

Bullets were still firing wildly, but they were still unable to knock down Iji.

He used his hands and feet together, and with every punch and kick, he could kill a strong clone warrior.Wherever he passed, he left blood and corpses on the ground.

His body was also stained red with thick blood.

Iji didn't care at all, but instead had a sick smile on his face.

"Weak! Weak! Too weak!"

"Double Spark Punch!"

Iji opened his mouth and let the blood spurted from the clone warrior splash into his mouth. He thrust out both fists, closed them in the middle, and hit a four-meter-tall clone warrior on the temple.

In an instant, the clone warrior's head exploded.

"There is no suspense, it was a one-sided massacre. Iji's blood factor has been developed to the point that it has surpassed that of you and me, Niji." Yongji crossed his legs and drank the drink with enjoyment.

"How does it compare with the navy kid who defeated you?" Niji asked without raising his head while playing with the golden pistol in his hand.

"She must be stronger than him, needless to say? Iji is the strongest person in our Vinsmoke family besides his father. The invulnerable body developed by the blood factor, coupled with the awakening of the two-color Haki, is also With the latest scientific battle suit, in the entire North Sea, who else is Iji’s opponent?”

At this moment, a tall figure wearing a golden robe, holding a golden spear, came from the direction of the palace.

Seeing the visitor, Yongji and Niji, who were sitting on the wicker chairs, stood up quickly, looked at the visitor respectfully and shouted in unison: "Father!"

"Yes." A satisfied smile appeared on Gaji's face, he nodded, and looked at Iji in the field, "Stop, I have a task to give to you. Where is Reiju? Ask her to come over."

Iji, who was in the middle of a killing spree, heard the words, the scarlet in his eyes faded, and he withdrew his fist.

But the clone warrior on the opposite side holding a long knife and slashing at him did not stop. He raised the long knife in his hand and slashed down vertically.

"Stop." Gaji said coldly.

The clone warrior's action of raising his long sword and slashing vertically paused in mid-air.

Because of the sudden contraction of force, the carpal bones of the wrist made a crisp sound.

The remaining dozen or so clone warriors also stopped attacking Iji one by one and stood straight on the spot, like robots that completely obeyed orders.

Iji turned around and walked over, took his golden pistol from Yongji's hand, and without looking, fired a dozen shots behind him.

As the bullets shot out, the dozen or so clone warriors standing in the blood with their heads upright watched helplessly as their hearts and foreheads were hit and penetrated by Iji's pistol, and then, a He fell to the ground, blood flowing from his body.

"How is the quality of these clone warriors?" Gaji lowered his head and asked.

"It's okay. It's an improvement compared to the previous batch, but the coordination between each other is still too poor. Let's go back to the drawing board and recreate it. I think we can get some blood factors from people with strong bodies. For example, the one who almost beat Yongji Damn Navy brat, his body is very good, very suitable for use as research materials and cloning samples."

Iji shook off the blood on his hand and threw the golden pistol to Yongji, but he was slapped away by Yongji.

Hearing Iji's unceremonious sarcasm, Yuji gritted his teeth in anger and his face turned red.

"Hmph, haven't you been beaten by him? Make fun of me, don't forget, the three of us were defeated by him last time."

Iji glanced at him coldly and raised the corner of his mouth, "You were knocked down twice."

"You!" Yongji was so angry that he couldn't speak.

In the distance, Leijiu spread a pair of pink butterfly wings behind her and flew towards her like a light and beautiful butterfly. She landed lightly in front of a few people. She glanced at the messy blood in the open space next to her, and there was a trace of unbearable anger deep in her eyes. Gone in a flash.

She shouted to Gaji with the same respect: "Father."

Gaji looked at the four most proud research results in front of him, grinned, and said with a smile: "Iji, Reiju, Niji, and Yongji, next, I need you to go to the Lawrence Kingdom, the Lubuni Kingdom, and the Phnom Penh Kingdom respectively. Let’s take a trip to Levans Kingdom and Abaro Kingdom.”

Iji's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Father, have you finally decided to go to war?"

"Yes. But before the war officially begins, I plan to give them all a chance, a chance to be loyal to the greatest Vinsmoke family in the North Sea without bloodshed."

Gaji nodded and said.

"Hmph, will they be sincerely loyal if there is no bloodshed? I think Father, you are still too kind. In my opinion, you must first use absolute force to cleanse a wave of people who dare to resist, kill those who are bold, and leave the rest The timid people below will never be able to make trouble again." Iji said coldly, crossing his arms.

At this time, Reiju, who was standing aside, spoke.

She glanced at her father and said softly: "This is my father showing his kindness and giving an ultimatum to the four countries. We have done our best, and if they still choose to resist, there will be nothing to say. Furthermore, if we can surrender the four countries without starting a war, then we can not only save a lot of weapons and troops, but also retain a large amount of labor force. My father said that war is only a means to obtain profits, and we need the labor force of the four countries. Come and help us earn money, open various factories, expand Germa's business, and make the Vinsmoke family stronger."

After listening to Reiju's words, Gaji was very satisfied, laughed twice, clapped his hands and said, "Yes, Reiju wins my heart. Iji, Niji, Yuji, you must also remember that Vinsmoke started the war, It’s just to realize the great rejuvenation of the Germa Kingdom, to unify the North Sea, and to regain its former glory, not just to blindly kill and destroy.”

However, Iji and the others didn't care. They were just thinking about what method they should use to scare the kings of the four countries to the ground and complete the tasks assigned by their father.

I heard Yongji move his wrist and say excitedly: "Father, shall we go alone or with troops?"

"In order to demonstrate the overwhelming force of our Germa 66 that is enough to rule the North Sea, we must show them what the Germa War Dock is. Each of you will take 5000 people and the war dock to set off."

"What if they are stubborn and don't want to surrender?" Niji asked again.

A sneer appeared on Gaji's face, he raised his palm and made a downward motion, "If necessary, just start fighting and kill those royals who are unwilling to obey first!"

Hearing this, the three of Iji all laughed, looked at each other, immediately turned around and strode away, and began to mobilize their troops to set off.

"I'm going to Lawrence Kingdom." Yongji said.

"Then I will go to the Abalo Kingdom." Niji said.

Iji raised his lips and put on his combat uniform, "Then I'll go to the Lubuni Kingdom. As for the rest of the Flevans Kingdom, I'll leave it to Reiju. I heard that there are remnants of platinum lead disease there. , just right for you who are not afraid of poison."

Watching the three of them go away, Reiju hesitated for a moment, then looked at Gaji and asked: "Father, if we launch a war in such a fair and just way, won't it cause dissatisfaction with the World Government and the Navy?"

"Humph, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Even if they want to control it, they have to be able to control it." Gaji sneered, and then said quietly: "Don't worry, I have taken care of the World Government. They are just They just want money. The three countries of Lawrence, Abaro and Freifans are all non-franchise countries and are not within the protection scope of the World Government. Not only can these non-franchise countries not bring them heavenly gold, they often create troubles. Stabilizing factors. For example, the emergence of forces like the Revolutionary Army. Now that we have not only helped remove these unstable factors, we have also paid back the heavenly gold of the three kingdoms. Do you think the world government will oppose us annexing them? "

"What about the Lubuni Kingdom? It seems to be a member country of the World Government." Reiju asked.

"So, I added money. Four kingdoms, 250 billion beli of heavenly gold." Gaji curled his lips.

"Twenty-five billion Baileys..." Reijiu took a deep breath and said worriedly: "It's a bit too much. Adding the heavenly gold from Prince Kingdom means that our Kingdom of Germa has to hand over 250 billion heavenly gold every year. .Father, this is a huge sum of money, we don’t have that much money.”

"Yes. Although these four countries are poor on the surface, the royal families and nobles are very rich. In addition, when the entire North Sea is under our control, it is not up to us to say how much gold will be paid in the sky. Calculate."

Seeing what Reijiu wanted to say, Gaji waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go ahead. I'm going to Qianyan Island to see if those stupid navies, whose communications have been blocked, are up to anything."
