General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 621 War preparations
In the prison at the bottom of the Fortress of Justice.

Rorschach had several high-purity seastone handcuffs brought over, and he cuffed Blackbeard's hands and feet tightly.

When he was handcuffed, the guy remained motionless, like a wooden man, at the mercy of Rorschach.

Rorschach was too lazy to look at Blackbeard's stinking face of being hopeless and doubtful about life. He walked out of the cell, locked the door, and looked at Warring States standing in the corridor outside.

"What's going on with this guy? Old man, don't tell me. Even you don't know why his body has such an unnatural talent? If everyone can eat two or three Devil Fruits, then this The world is in chaos.”

"You have asked this question ten times along the way, and you have told me that I don't know! If you want to know why, ask Bega Punk. Don't you have Lilith's phone bug?"

Sengoku replied angrily.

Then he turned and walked outside.

Rorschach chased after him.

"What about the Dark Fruit? Was the last owner of this ability Rocks?"

"The meat is crispy but not old, tender on the inside and charred on the outside. You can't smell the aroma from a distance, but as soon as you chew it, the rich aroma of the meat explodes in your mouth, making your mouth water like crazy. Thin and crispy skin and tender and juicy interior , once you take the first bite, you can’t stop at all, I really want to be immersed in this ultimate deliciousness.”

"Brother Rorschach! It's time to eat! I made your favorite Neptune steak."

"I don't know! Don't ask me! It's so annoying! I have to go to Xiaohe for a meeting to prepare for the upcoming war. If you have nothing to do, go back and accompany your little girlfriend, and don't bother me!"

"Skylark, I think your cooking skills have completely surpassed Uncle Deno. You are definitely the most powerful chef in the Navy Headquarters."

Luo Xia couldn't stand the girl's blushing and shy look. He immediately reached out with his big hand and grabbed the skylark who had her head buried in shame. Before she could react, he slapped her delicate and pretty face hard. A kiss.

"It's obviously the most common sea king steak, but it turns out to be so delicious under your cooking, Skylark."

In short, Rorschach didn't ask anything, so he simply didn't care, turned around, and returned to Akainu's family's yard in Marineland.

Skylark said proudly: "You have forgotten that when I was a recruit in Malinfando, I mainly focused on navigation. The distance from Malinfando to Tasan Island, even if you only calculate the straight line distance, is more than 500 miles. Brother Rorschach, run away. Going back and forth, and having to fight during the process, it will definitely consume a lot of energy, and of course you will be hungry. So..."

Skylark said at a loss: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong, Brother Rorschach?"

Rorschach's eyes lit up when he heard there was Neptune steak.

He touched his growling belly and ran over quickly.

Ten minutes later, the high-level conference room of the headquarters.

"Don't be angry, the egg fried rice is very fragrant."

I saw only a stack of empty plates on the large round table that was previously filled with various delicacies.

Rorschach subconsciously stretched out his hand, and Skylark naturally reached out and took his outstretched hand.

Luo Xia stood up with a smile, took her little hand, and walked towards the kitchen in a familiar manner.

These old guys from the Warring States Period, one or two, know how to play riddles.

The skylark, whose face was so red that it almost bled, was left standing there dumbly, like a piece of wood.

"So, this is why you brought egg fried rice to the conference room?"

Rorschach suddenly choked up.

"Brother Luo Xia, you...you bullied me again! I spent more than an hour preparing the meal, but you ate it all without even taking a bite!"

In the square, Luo Xia looked at the back of Warring States hurriedly leaving, feeling very unhappy.

"No, I'm just so touched. Such an understanding, gentle and considerate little skylark is simply the good wife and mother I dream of."

Poor Skylark, amidst Rorschach's surprise attack and subsequent series of compliments, was so embarrassed that he stood there like a wooden man for more than ten minutes.

"Is it possible that Blackbeard is the son of Rocks? Is the red-haired Shanks the son of that old bastard Green Gu?"

In the distance, he saw a pretty figure standing outside the yard waving to this side.

"Isn't it because the food you cooked is so delicious, Yunque? I couldn't hold it back and accidentally finished it all. In this case, I'll make you egg fried rice."

"Skylark, how do you know I'm hungry?"

He didn't know if he really didn't know the secret hidden in Blackbeard, or if it was too involved and he didn't want to talk about it.

"Rocks died more than thirty years ago. What's the point of asking this? I don't know!"

"hateful!"

“Delicious~!”

Skylark looked at Rorschach's thumbs up and couldn't help but blushed in embarrassment.

"Ok?"

"Humph, you said the same thing last time." Yunque turned away angrily.

Then she pouted angrily.

The two of them entered the courtyard hand in hand. Luo Xia saw that the large round table in the courtyard was filled with all kinds of delicious food, and he almost drooled with greed.

"This is my thanks, please accept it."

When she finally suppressed her happiness and shyness and plucked up the courage to raise her head, she saw Rorschach, who was stroking her belly and burping comfortably.

Skylark was stunned and turned to look at the table in front of Rorschach.

He rubbed Skylark's little head hard like he was petting a cat, and then he grabbed a big steak on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, and started eating.

Warring States looked at Luo Xia who was distributing egg fried rice to everyone with a big spoon with a dark look on his face.

Hibari was responsible for following him and distributing plates and chopsticks to everyone.

A plate and a pair of chopsticks were placed on the table in front of Seng Guo by the blushing Skylark. Then Luo Xia filled a large spoon with golden egg fried rice in his hand and filled Seng Guo's plate with a large bowl of egg fried rice. .

Rorschach added a large bowl to the bowls in front of Garp, Aoki, Lieutenant General He, and Brannew, and then put down the large iron pot that was already empty.

Seeing everyone in the conference room looking at him strangely, Luo Xia calmly pulled out a chair and sat down without changing his expression.

"Why are you looking at me? Eat quickly. This egg fried rice is delicious. I cooked it myself. You said the same is true for you. You won't even eat when you have a meeting. You won't eat enough to think about all the troubles. , very damaging to brain cells.”

Warring States was speechless.

He simply picked up the chopsticks, picked up the plate of egg fried rice, and started to shovel it into his mouth.

"Rorschach is right, let's all eat. Only after eating can we have the strength to discuss things."

Lieutenant General He laughed dumbly and started to eat with his chopsticks.

"It tastes good. I didn't expect you, Luo Xia, to have such skills. When you retire, you can open a restaurant in Marineland." Qing Zhi took a big mouthful and ate it with relish.

Brannew looked left and right, holding chopsticks in his hand, a little embarrassed to take them down. "What's wrong? Isn't it to your liking, Brannew? Do you want me to get you some other food?"

Rorschach asked thoughtfully.

Brannew was so frightened that he waved his hands quickly.

"No, no! I'm very satisfied! Lieutenant General Rorschach, I'll eat it now."

After saying that, he buried his face in the egg fried rice in front of him and started to make a fuss.

While eating, he was praising Rorschach's cooking skills, which made Rorschach feel embarrassed.

After Rorschach's interruption, the tense and dignified atmosphere in the conference hall instantly collapsed.

Warring States clearly felt that everyone's tense spirits had relaxed a lot.

He glanced sideways at Rorschach, who had a smile on his face, and snorted in his heart.

Rorschach, that bastard boy, finally did something that made him worry less.

The egg fried rice really tastes good. After finishing a bowl of it during the Warring States Period, I still have some unfinished food.

"It smells so good. I can smell the egg fried rice from a distance. Is there anything else, little skylark? I haven't eaten for a day and I'm almost starving now."

Cap's slightly hoarse voice came from outside the conference hall.

"Grandpa Karp! The egg fried rice is gone, but I'm going to fry some more now."

Skylark stood up hastily.

"Then I'll trouble you, little Skylark." Garp smiled and found a seat to sit down.

"I'll go help too."

Rorschach stood up holding the big iron pot beside him.

So, it was another ten minutes later.

In the clean and brightly lit high-end conference hall, in front of Warring States, Garp, Qingzhi and others, everyone held a large iron basin filled with egg fried rice.

The aroma of egg fried rice filled the entire conference hall, and everyone continued the discussion while eating their rice.

"First of all, we need to summon elite sailors from all over the world. How should we choose the standard for this elite? Secondly, we must also consider the issue of the stability of the various branches that lack the elite garrison after elites from all over the world are summoned by the headquarters. . Especially in the New World and Paradise, once the branch is no longer guarded by mid- to high-level combat forces, the risk of trouble will greatly increase."

Brannew looked at the documents in front of him and said solemnly.

He did not continue to add more food.

Although he was not full, the people present were all big guys. They could do whatever they wanted, but they still had to know how to measure.

"To prepare for a battle with the world's top pirate group like the Whitebeard Pirates, the sailors participating in the battle must be at least second lieutenant in the headquarters."

Warring States took a big mouthful of egg fried rice and spoke vaguely.

"The ranks of second lieutenants in this headquarters are a bit too low. Unless they are New World Marines who have experienced a lot of war tests, sailors below the school level actually do not have very strong combat effectiveness. I think it is better to set the requirements at the school level and up. Face this war with absolute elite superiority."

Garp took big mouthfuls of egg fried rice, which did not affect him in expressing his opinions at all.

"If the minimum requirement for participating in the war is set at the school level, where will the 100,000 elites you mentioned come from?
Don't forget, the number of Whitebeard Pirates is at least 50,000. And this data is from a year ago.

Since the death of Charlotte Lingling, many pirates in Totland who could not survive have gone to join Whitebeard.

According to our intelligence collection in the New World, the current total number of Whitebeard Pirates must be at least 60,000.

And this does not include other new world overlords that may participate in the war. "

Lieutenant General He looked at the information in his hand and said softly.

Luo Xia frowned slightly and knocked on the table in front of him, attracting everyone's attention.

He looked at the confused Sengoku and others.

"I said, whose idea was it to summon a hundred thousand elites to fight in a cramped venue like Marineventor?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and subconsciously looked at Warring States.

The old man from Warring States blushed, coughed and said: "What happened to the hundred thousand elites? Didn't you see what Xiao He said, that the number of the Whitebeard Pirates exceeds at least 60,000? To ensure the maximum results, they must gather together. The more troops the better.”

"So we packed 100,000 people into a place as big as Marinevando, let Whitebeard kill 20,000 with a single shot, and then let our own top combat power affect tens of thousands more?"

Rorschach looked at Seng Guo like an idiot, and Seng Guo couldn't help but asked Rorschach with a frown on his face.

"Then how do you arrange it?"

Rorschach pushed away a large pile of information handed over by Brannew and looked at everyone present.

"I know Whitebeard is very strong, and the Whitebeard Pirates are also very strong. However, if we have to mobilize so many troops to deal with a group of four emperors, then our navy, which is known as the world's hegemon, will be too rubbish."

"That's not what you said. We mainly want to minimize the losses, and we also have to consider unexpected situations that may arise during the battle, such as other pirates coming to cause trouble."

Warring States interjected.

"Hear me out."

Rorschach's voice made Zhenguo simply stretch out his hand to signal Rorschach to do whatever he wanted, while he silently held the rice bowl and cooked on the side.

Rorschach continued his thoughts.

"Facing Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world, you really can't be too careful. But summoning a hundred thousand elites from all over the world and putting them all in one basket of Malinfando is really an extremely bad strategy."

"A team of 100,000 people is too huge. If it is placed in Marineland Square, it will be crowded. That level of dense troop deployment is no different from sending death. In addition to increasing the casualties of a large number of lower-level soldiers in the war, there is no Any benefit.”

"My suggestion is that the total number of troops gathered should not exceed the number of the Whitebeard Pirates, and try to choose the best among the best. In terms of dividing the battlefield, try to separate the high-end combat power from the low-end combat power to avoid causing too much damage. accidental injury.”

"Try to free up enough battlefields and let them be used by natural ability users with large-scale attack capabilities."

Having said this, Luo Xia's eyes fell on Qing Pheasant.

"Sometimes, a little extra effort by the generals can achieve greater results than the lives of hundreds and thousands of ordinary sailors. Since you have chosen to launch a war, don't be merciful to the enemy. Indecision will only lead to more defeats. The casualties of our own people. If we want to fight, we must give the opponent a thunderous blow."

Rorschach's tone was a bit harsh, and Brannew was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.

Qing Pheasant remained silent and did not speak.

"If only the Whitebeard Pirates come by then, I think our navy can completely crush them with its absolute high-end combat power and bulldoze them!"

Rorschach looked around at everyone.

"We have five generals, dozens of lieutenant generals, thousands of school officers, Shichibukai, pacifists, and home field advantage. If with such a huge advantage, the war can still reach a stalemate, then All I can say is, it’s better not to fight this war. Whitebeard won’t live for more than a few years, so it’s better to just wait for him to die of old age.”
