General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 740 The war begins

G5.

"Admiral! All the troops from our headquarters have been assembled and are coming at full speed. It is expected that it will only take one day to reach the G5 sea area. General Kizaru called us on the phone and asked if we are ready."

Penn, who carried the dead wood on his back, quickly ran into the fortress base and reported urgent information to Rorschach who was sitting behind his desk.

Luo Xia nodded and said: "Tell him that the G5 army has already been prepared and is waiting for them to come and join together."

"Yes!" Penn took the order and left.

"Are our G5 troops really dispatched this time?" Skylark, who was acting as a secretary next to Luo Xia, asked softly.

As Rorschach's most trusted person, Skylark was fully involved in the contact between Rorschach and Zefa, as well as subsequent actions. Of course, he knew that even if G5 came out in full force this time, it would not be the NEO Navy they wanted to fight.

Luo Xia shook his head: "No, let Luo stay with his fleet of hearts this time and stay behind G5."

"Ah? General... General, are we staying?" On the sofa, I was still full of expectations for the upcoming battle, thinking that I must perform better on the battlefield this time than that stupid big guy Pamel. Beibo suddenly showed a look of disappointment.

Looking at the bear ears hanging down from his head, Luo Xia couldn't help but smile.

"Well, this time you stay at home. Among the five fleets of G5, your Heart Fleet is the most stable and reliable. With you guarding our home, we can go out to fight with peace of mind. Bebo, I can protect G5. Leave the task to you?"

Rorschach looked at Bebo with a serious face and a sincere tone.

"Is our Heart Fleet the most stable and reliable among the five G5 fleets?" Bebo's eyes suddenly became bright.

"Well, the most stable and reliable one." Luo Xia nodded.

"Is it more reliable than Pamel's fleet?"

"Well, it's more reliable than the Brontosaurus fleet."

"Woohoo~, Lieutenant General, did you hear that? Admiral Rorschach said that our Heart Fleet is the most stable and reliable in G5." Bebo was so happy that his face turned red, and he turned to Luo beside him and said.

"Ah." Luo looked calm and continued to look at the new world map on the desktop without raising his head.

Bebo was happy for a while, then remembered that he had not responded to Luo Xia's approval. He immediately stood up, raised his hand in salute and said excitedly: "Please feel free to entrust me with the important task of guarding G5. I promise to complete the task! Absolutely not." A pirate, no, not even a fly would be able to fly to G5 Island.”

"Well, you are very energetic. I believe you can do it."

Rorschach said something approvingly, which made Skylark standing next to him unable to hold back and pursed his lips and smiled secretly.

After Bebo left with great enthusiasm and planned to strengthen the guard work of G5, Luo looked up from the new world map, considered for a while, looked at Luo Xia and said: "Luo Xia, I have to remind you here."

"Huh? What?" Luo Xia put down the document in his hand and looked over in confusion.

Luo said softly: "Not fighting this war with the NEO Navy is just our G5's unilateral opinion and does not represent the opinions of this department. Although you went to Teacher Zefa to arrange something in advance, it is hard to say whether it can be used. Even if it really works and lures the pirates to Totland, the target of our operation may not be transferred from the NEO Navy to the pirates. Maybe the higher-ups will let us bypass it. Pirates, keep going and complete your mission.”

Luo Xia thought for a while and found that Luo's analysis was correct.

Indeed, they don’t want to go to war with G5. Perhaps this is the thought in the hearts of most naval soldiers.

After all, Zefa's influence in the navy is too deep. It can be said that most of the senior generals in the navy today are students taught by Zefa himself.

This even includes the two current navy admirals and the navy marshal.

Although Zefa has defected, he has not targeted the navy so far, nor has he helped others to cause trouble in the sea like the pirates in the New World. Instead, he has gone around to quell disputes in the surrounding sea areas and fight against evil.

Although he is no longer in the navy, everyone's gratitude and admiration for him has not changed.

Now we are going to encircle and suppress the NEO navy led by Zefa. I am afraid that except for a few sailors led by Aramaki who have an indifferent attitude, everyone else is unwilling to do so.

But if the superiors really wanted to fight, the sailors would have no choice but to follow orders.

In such a major action that has already determined the purpose of the war, even the admiral has no power to make temporary changes.

If you want to cancel this war, or change the target of the attack midway, only the Five Old Stars and Akainu as the navy marshal can do it.

After figuring out the key here, Luo Xia immediately understood what Luo Xia really wanted to say.

There was no one else in the office except Rorschach, Skylark, and Luo.

Everyone knows Rorschach's true views on the world government, so there is no evasion.

Luo said directly: "Your daily contact with Teacher Zefa is not hidden, and Marshal Sakaski must have seen it. Therefore, you may waver in this war, or even help the enemy. I think The marshal will definitely have some guesses as well.”

"Sorry, I did lack some consideration."

Rorschach smiled as Luo said this.

In fact, it's not like he hadn't considered this before.

For example, when he was on Punk Hassad Island, he called Zefa directly in front of Akainu.

For example, on G1 Island, he also contacted Zefa in front of Sengoku and Garp.

He could have done this kind of thing secretly in a deserted place afterwards and contacted Zefa privately, but Rorschach did not do that.

Yes, he did it on purpose.

Rorschach wanted to use this obvious method to test Sengoku, Garp, Akainu, and Kizaru, and find out the limit of their tolerance for his behavior.

This method can let Rorschach know what the senior leaders of the headquarters think of them.

What would everyone do if one day they had to show off their cards?
Should he still insist on maintaining the rule of the World Government, or should he turn to himself, join him, break away from the World Government, or even declare war on the World Government?

The bottom line is broken through step by step.

Especially for a wavering person like Kizaru.

Of course, Rorschach did not mess around in front of Kizaru. Although he confessed to Kizaru about letting the bear go, deep down, he was still a little confused about Kizaru. If he really wanted to go out alone, Will Kizaru come together?

Needless to say, Sengoku's soliloquy on Marinefando Island a few days ago was actually meant for Rorschach to hear, so he had made his position clear.

As for Garp, he should also be able to help.

Although the relationship between him and Rorschach is no longer as close as before because of Ace's death, Rorschach knows that in the face of big things, Garp is still the same Garp.

As for Akainu...

Everything he has been doing seems extreme.

His goal seems to be to wipe out all pirates in the world.

The orders he gave to the World Government always exceeded the requirements.

Let's say he is loyal to the World Government. However, after he knew what Rorschach did in the Chambord Islands, he did not choose to expose Rorschach. Instead, he went with the dark horse and said something like that, which has made Rorschach so far. Xia was puzzled.

Perhaps it's just like what Sengoku said about Akainu.

He could see through Rorschach's true thoughts, but he couldn't see through Akainu.

"So, you want me to test Uncle Sakaski's mind?" Rorschach raised an eyebrow.

Luo shook his head slightly, "No, there is no need to test. Since he knew that you were still in contact with Teacher Zefa but did not give you a warning, it means that he will not interfere with any of your actions in this war. "

"Oh? What should I say?" Luo Xia's eyes moved slightly.

"It's very simple. Maybe he had anticipated your private contact, but he didn't stop it in advance. That means that he acquiesced in what you did, but he wouldn't agree with you openly. If you can rely on your own ability to cancel this operation or shift the target, I think he will not care. If you do not have that ability and cannot change this war, then this war must be carried out. In the end, we have to fight the NEO Navy with real swords and guns."

"I understand."

Luo couldn't have said it more clearly. Even if Luo Xia was a fool, he understood what he meant.

Just when he was about to continue reviewing the documents in front of him, news from Zefa came.

"The fish has taken the bait. Barrett's Devil Pirates have arrived near Soft Island. Bondiwald's Ward Pirates have also left their home base of Sage Island and are missing. They should have passed by Soft Island as well. On the island, the Beast Pirates are competing for gold mines with the small pirates of the New World. It won’t take long for these forces to meet on the island. By the way, no trace of Kaido, Jhin and Katakuri has been found. They are all here. Also, I have arranged for someone to pick up the Zhenzhen Fruit you threw away. I will wait for the opportunity to throw it out. What you have to do is best done as soon as possible. "

Zefa's voice came from the phone bug.

"Very good! Teacher Zefa, you are very thoughtful."

Rorschach excitedly slapped his palms, stood up, and said to Hibari: "The opportunity has come. Let Kizaru and the others speed up. We must arrive before the confrontation over there ends! In addition, send the photo we took Give it to Morgans, let him put it in the newspaper, no, let him send someone to broadcast the news directly!”

"Yes!" Yunque quickly picked up the phone.

Soft Island.

Since last night, the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing have never stopped resounding on this island.

The news about the large-scale gold mine that Zefa's people deliberately spread made pirates within a radius of several hundred kilometers swarm in like sharks smelling blood.

The desire and greed for gold have made these New World pirates who are accustomed to life and death fights, even if they face the Beast Pirates who have arrived on the island first, they will not give in. They are like a group of hyenas that will bite them to the death. Next piece of meat to swallow.

"Come on! Grab the gold quickly! Don't let the Beast Pirates monopolize it. This is a treasure that belongs to everyone and is a gift from the new world to us!"

"Kill! Fire! Kill Big Mom's idiot sons! Their mothers are dead, and now they go to Kaido to be their sons. They are indeed the offspring of Big Mom's old sow. They were born without even knowing who their father is. I know. Because there are so many dads, everyone can get dozens of them!”

"Hahaha, yes, I think Kaido is also the father of your Charlotte family, right? What a group of good sons!"

On the edge of the town that had long been turned into ruins, there were a dozen or so pirate groups from the New World gathered together. They were uniting with each other in a tacit understanding to fight against the Beast Pirates who were guarding the mine. In terms of the strength of a single New World Pirates group, of course even the Patrons cannot compare to the huge size of the Beast Pirates group.

But with the integration of a dozen New World Pirates who have experienced great storms, even the Charlotte family headed by Katakuri cannot gain a comprehensive advantage.

Listening to the dirty words sprayed from the other side, Perospero's old face turned red and his body was trembling with anger.

"Damn bastards! I'm going to kill them! Why haven't Jhin and Quinn arrived yet? If they don't come, they won't be able to touch even one gram of gold!"

Because the seven or eight islands of the Beast Pirates in Totland were all divided by him to the remnants of the Charlotte family headed by Katakuri, and recently Katakuri was leading his younger brothers and sisters to look for Wo. The German Pirates wanted to avenge Snag, so when they heard the news about the existence of a large gold mine on Soft Island, they were the first ones to arrive here.

As soon as they arrived on the island, they started digging the gold mine and successfully mined hundreds of tons of gold, which was a huge harvest.

Although the gold in the ground of Soft Island is mixed with various soil and rock formations, Katakuri and others can see that the gold in this gold mine is extremely pure and can be mined without much effort in refining it. Produce a large amount of gold that can be sold directly.

The total amount of gold mines is also very large, buried very deep, and the soil and rock layers are squeezed very tightly, which makes the mining of gold mines very troublesome.

Fortunately, an earthquake seemed to have occurred on the island, causing the mountain to collapse and the soil to become much softer.

In addition, Perospero also discovered signs of digging and fighting by others at the entrance to the mine.

It is not difficult to guess that before the Charlotte family arrived at Soft Island, there were others who arrived first, discovered the gold mine first, and dug away part of the gold.

Perospero guessed from the traces of the battle on the island that the winner should be the one who dug up the gold, but the defeated party was not completely wiped out. This is probably why the news of the gold mine was spread.

"Hold! Hold the candy wall for me, don't let those garbage come in! As long as you hold on for a little longer, reinforcements will arrive!"

With a wave of his hand, Perospero released a wave of red syrup from his hand, which washed over the open space in front of the forest and formed a towering wall of red syrup.

The city wall made of syrup is as hard as rock, allowing the pirates on your side to hide behind the wall and shoot and bombard the pirates who are constantly attacking.

"Boom boom boom!"

Deafening cannonballs were shot from time to time from the crowd on the opposite side, hitting the syrup wall, blowing the solidified syrup into pieces.

Occasionally, it would turn into a parabola and crash into the crowd hiding behind the city wall, blowing up all the unlucky people.

This time they came in a hurry and didn't bring everyone with them.

There were two ships in total, and the total force was less than a thousand.

I thought that with the vicious reputation of the Beast Pirates in the New World, no one without a good eye would dare to provoke them.

But they still underestimated the temptation of gold mines to pirates in the New World.

There were more than a dozen large and small pirate groups on the opposite side, with a total strength of more than 10,000, more than ten times their number, and almost all of them were surrounded.

After a night of fighting and melee, the number of troops has now been lost between two and three hundred.

Of course, more people died on the opposite side, but there were still thousands of people, and as time went by, more pirates were coming continuously to join in the robbery of gold.

Perospero was just thinking about when the follow-up reinforcements from the Beast Pirates would arrive. Suddenly, there was a fierce wind in his ears. When he looked up, he saw a dozen cannonballs packed in black, all aimed at his face. Shooting, Perospero was so frightened that he quickly released a large amount of syrup in front of him, building a wall of syrup.

"Boom boom boom!"

The jet-black cannonballs rained down, blasting the candy wall in front of him and sending candy cubes flying everywhere. The powerful shock wave and scalding heat wave made Perospero groan, and he rolled and fell out in embarrassment. fell to the ground.

He clutched his painful chest and took a few breaths, turned to look at a tall figure standing not far away, and couldn't help but yelled with some complaints: "Katakuri! Why don't you do something? Hurry up! Help kill those troublesome pirate leaders on the other side!"

The previous night, because of the presence of Katakuri, the backbone of the Charlotte family, the pirates who joined together on the opposite side were unable to steal much gold from them, even though they paid a heavy price of nearly half of their casualties.

But since a few minutes ago, whether it was due to excessive physical exertion or fatigue, Katakuri has been standing there and never made another move.

Hearing the shouts of his eldest brother Perospero, Katakuri still did not take action, but his slightly narrowed eyes looked behind the crowd of people gathered in front, and his pupils shrank slightly.

"boom!"

Another pitch-black cannonball flew over from the crowd a hundred meters away, heading straight for Perospero with great accuracy.

Perospero was about to repeat his old trick and release a candy wall to block the cannonball, but he saw that the cannonball flying halfway suddenly enlarged and turned into a huge black ball with a diameter of more than ten meters, and at the same time, its speed increased. Dozens of times, it turned into a huge black phantom, covering him head-on.

"What?" Perospero exclaimed in fright.

At this time, Kataku stirred.

I saw him lifting his slender right leg high and stepping on the ground in front of him like lightning.

"Crash!"

The waves of the earth under his feet generally rolled forward, turning into white waves that stacked up to form a towering wall of waxy waves, which could resist and wrap up the huge black ball that was launched one step ahead.

next moment.

"Boom!"

The huge black ball with a diameter of more than ten meters exploded, blowing the white glutinous ball surrounding itself to pieces, splashing like rain in all directions, and rising into a huge mushroom cloud in mid-air.

The ground beneath the big explosion was blasted with a huge hole dozens of meters deep.

The power of the explosion was so powerful that it shattered the candy wall created by Perospero, and hundreds of pirates screamed and vomited blood and were thrown away.

Even Perospero was swept away by the shock wave of the explosion. He vomited a large mouthful of blood and looked ahead with a horrified face.

"That thing just now turned out to be a cannonball? Are you kidding? How could it be so big... Wait! It's you! Bundiwald!"

Perospero's eyes were split open, and he saw a bearded middle-aged man. Shi Shiran pushed away the pirate in front of him, walked out of the crowd, and stood in the open space in the middle, looking over here. .

At the same time, there were more than a dozen pirates with wild and powerful auras following him.

"Hahahaha, I thought the news about the gold mine was fake, but I didn't expect that there is actually a gold mine in this ghost place."

Tiki, who was wearing heavy makeup, stretched out her hand to suck in a pirate holding a gold nugget, threw out a large ball of black gas, swallowed up the frightened pirate, and took the gold nugget as big as a millstone. admiring it in hand.

The mirror-smooth surface of the gold nugget reflected her face, which was much softer than before, but still rough.

"No, I really want that fruit. Alas, after losing my brother, strength and beauty can no longer be had at the same time."

Tikki sighed in her heart and raised her eyes to look at Walder who took out a flintlock gun from his waist, "I didn't see Bynes and the others. What's going on? Could it be that they were killed by Dylan? Or is it because? The gold mine on this island, were they captured or killed by Katakuri? Wait..."

Tikki said, suddenly pointing to the broken knife held by a giver not far from Perospero's side, "The knife in that guy's hand seems to be the sharp knife of that dead old man Gary." ah."

Walder's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face suddenly became more gloomy, "It seems you are right, those two idiots are indeed in danger."

"What about us?" Tikki tilted her head and looked at the tall Katakuri.

"We have secured the gold mine. Only by mastering this wealth can we recruit troops and develop our power in the new world, surpassing that guy Barrett."

As Walder said, his burly body had turned into a broken phantom. He crossed a hundred meters in an instant and jumped behind Perospero. He covered his domineering right fist with a dark armed color and struck Perospero's with a punch. hindbrain.

He moves extremely fast, and when he takes action, he can move at a hundred times the speed of Momo Fruit, so fast that it's like teleporting.

But there was someone faster than him.

In other words, before Walder was ready to attack Perospero, his actions had been predicted in advance and he had responded accordingly.

A huge arm covered with pitch-black spikes shattered the atmosphere, bursting out with beams of black and red lightning, crossing in front of Walder in advance, and smashing into his fist like a mountain.

Walder's heart trembled. He had already experienced how powerful Katakuri was in many previous battles. Without any hesitation, he jumped away from Perospero and waved. Just one shot.

"A hundred times the shotgun!"

"Oh!"

The flintlock gun in his hand made a loud bang, like thunder. What was sprayed out from the muzzle was obviously just ordinary iron sand and iron bullets, but after flying out of the muzzle, it turned into a rain of iron in the sky. The crackling hit Katakuri, Perospero and the others.

Katakuri had already predicted his draw of the gun, and with his wave of his hand, he turned out to be a steel-like black waxy shield, blocking all the countless iron sands that were thrown at him.

"Tikki! Control him! Today I will deprive him of his abilities and let that fat bitch Charlotte Lingling have no children or grandchildren!"

Seeing that his attacks were easily blocked by Katakuri many times, Walder lost his composure. He roared angrily, took out a handful of iron bullets from the bag on his waist, and aimed at the crowd of pirates next to Perospero. A spread.

The finger-sized iron bullets flying out from his hand turned into countless whistling black lines, flying out at an unfathomable super speed. At the same time, the size of each iron bullet was magnified a hundred times, becoming like a The pitch-black shells roared into the crowd.

In an instant, the crackling sounds of broken bones, tendons, and flesh and blood were heard from everywhere, as dense as exploding beans.

The pirates howled in pain and screamed in terror from the crowd that caused a large wave of blood.

Katakuri's eyes were cold and he was about to kill Walder to avenge Snag.

But Tiqi laughed and opened her hands far away from him.

"Hahahaha, Katakuri, you have good abilities, let me accept you!"

"Dark Water!"
