From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 269: A huge shadow descends upon Marinford, Borsalino's self-destruction

In the first half of the Grand Line, the family refugee ship of the Navy Headquarters was attacked, and the navy responsible for escorting it began to fight hard.

Under the deliberate exposure of the World Economic News, the escort force was not strong.

The main reason is that whether it is high-ranking officials such as Sengoku, or naval officers who are already members of the Revolutionary Army, none of them think that the Revolutionary Army will take action against the families of naval officers.

However, what they did not expect was that the World Government would actually pretend to be the Revolutionary Army to deal with them, and immediately launched a siege after their identities were exposed, intending to silence them and create a fait accompli.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

After a series of gunshots, all the video-recording Den Den Mushi that were recording on both the navy's warships and the warships that the agents were surrounding were killed.

"How despicable... The World Government."

The ball of light formed by the impact compressed the air and instantly passed through the CP agent.

"Clap clap clap!"

There were frequent explosions inside the body and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

At the same time, a figure appeared in front of Sakaski, and his hands turned into giant scissors covered with armed color domineering and cut down.

"boom!!"

The huge warship was almost split in two.

"What a mess, Navy."

Inamazu, the deputy commander of the first half of the Grand Line, looked at Sakaski and waved the giant scissors in his hand: "If you are not yet unable to move, then stand up and meet the enemy."

Hearing this, Sakaski slowly stood up and said, "How come you guys showed up? So you're also keeping an eye on the Navy's refugee ship?"

"Shhhhh..."

The scarlet claws forced the enemy back, and Ivankov did a backflip and jumped up to force the other side back again: "Akainu boy, didn't all that long study time make you realize the persistence of our revolutionary army?"

On the mast, the roar of hand cannons continued to ring out.

"Hahaha! We are not the world government. How could we possibly do such a despicable thing?"

Nano, as a member of the operation, also serves as a lecturer. At this moment, he is standing on the mast, pulling the trigger with both hands.

The nearby agents were taken care of one by one with hand cannon fire.

"Marines!"

"Now it's time for you to choose!"

"In the eyes of the World Government, you have no value anymore. Even your lives have been used as bargaining chips for public opinion!"

"Your relatives are still in Marinford, still being sacrificed to help them. But even so, they decided to sacrifice you. Such a world government is not worthy of carrying true justice!"

……

For a moment, the agents of the CP agency began to panic.

They also didn't expect that the revolutionary army would actually appear here, and didn't expect that the revolutionary army would actually rescue the navy.

"Kill him! Quick!"

Under the order of the senior agent, all guns and artillery were pointed at Nano.

“Bang, bang, bang… Boom!”

The mast of the warship was directly blown to pieces, and the flames burned the sails, but the figure fell on the deck unharmed.

"No one can decide the fate of others, not even the real God!"

"It was the World Government that betrayed you first. They were the first to betray your families!"

……

A slash broke through the air.

Even though his arms were covered in Armament Haki, Nano was still knocked away by this attack.

The senior agent who had taken action turned around and saw that people on the refugee ship protected in the center in the distance had already changed their minds.

"Kill them all! No matter if they are marines or any other creatures, no life can be allowed to leave here alive!"

When the order was given, it also meant that they had completely broken off relations.

In the distance, from the large ships that originally surrounded this place, figures jumped up and came towards this side.

They knew very well what the purpose of this operation was, and they also knew that if anyone left here alive, or if the owl that was still taking pictures here from high altitude left, this operation would mean a complete failure.

"First, kill that beast in the sky!"

With the swing of the long sword, he locked onto the owl with his observation Haki and slashed it into the air.

"How could I let you succeed?!"

A huge axe chopped down, and a captain of the front half of the Revolutionary Army's Grand Line leaped up to block the attack.

"Are you so afraid of showing the world the true darkness of the World Government?"

As soon as the words fell, a figure passed by like a beam of light and hit the sky.

"boom!"

Rear Admiral Lance Loki of the Navy Headquarters swung his sword to stop it.

At the same time, Smoker flew high into the sky using the power of his fruit, and intercepted several shells with his ten hands.

"Boom boom boom..."

The explosion resounded through the air.

Below it, Tina was fighting one against two and blocking the opponent with a cage.

"puff!"

A slash from the Storm Kick hit him on the back, blood splattered, but he still stood firm.

"Where did the mouse come from?"

Amidst the angry shouts, Tina turned around and swung out a black sword, which flew through the air like a javelin.

"Shh!"

Hei Kan pierced his chest and nailed him directly to the mast.

"Navy! Do you really want to rebel?"

The CP agent roared: "Necessary sacrifices can completely cut off the foundation of the revolutionary army. Your death is of great significance to the stability of the world. Giving up resistance is what you should do!"

This operation, which was originally foolproof, became full of variables after the revolutionary army joined.

The combat power of that revolutionary army captain is already comparable to that of a mid-level agent. If the situation continues, the outcome will be unpredictable.

"Hahaha!"

A sarcastic laugh rang out, and Nano, the lecturer, said loudly without even turning his head: "You are really shameless to demand others to die from the moral high ground!"

"If that's the case, why don't you just die? Just because you're good at being dogs?"

The bear's figure instantly disappeared in the compressed air, and the effect was like teleportation, and it appeared directly above the senior agent.

"Even if you are as lowly as an ant, you still have the right to live. No one has to die just because of a surname or a so-called righteousness!"

Giant pressure cannon!
A shock wave shaped like a bear's paw fell.

"boom!!"

The warship was torn apart, but at the same time it also caused the sea water to surge back.

"asshole!"

The agent, his body splattered with blood, roared and jumped into the air with the Moon Step to avoid the danger of falling into the sea.

But this time, the bear appeared behind him again.

He waved his hands and two bear-paw-shaped shock waves struck together.

"what!!!"

Screams echoed throughout the entire sea area, and the senior agent who was hit fainted and fell into the sea.

For a moment, the scales of victory had already tilted.

Sakaski, who was in a battle not far away, frowned. The words of the CP agent just now made him feel very complicated.

Twelve years ago, he said the same thing and made the same decision in the O'Hara incident.

It’s just that at that time he was a superior who demanded others to sacrifice, but now he is the victim who is asked to die.

At this moment, the words spoken by the cloaked man twelve years ago came to his mind again.

If it is yourself who needs to be sacrificed, can you still be so righteous?

"Got you!"

While his mind was in a trance, Lava was caught by the opponent and his armed color domineering instantly erupted in his body.

"boom!"

Saraski was thrown backwards and crashed into the cabin of a nearby boat, and he kept coughing up blood.

More than two years have passed, and only recently has his dominance recovered, but it is only a recovery.

He knew very well that he still hadn't found a new ideological will, or a new dream or purpose that he could carry through to the end.

If your observation Haki can't keep up, your elementalization will only make you a sitting duck.

Before this, he was able to maintain his position as lieutenant general by relying on the high temperature of the lava, but when facing a truly strong enemy, the importance of domineering became apparent.

"You have always upheld absolute justice. Don't you also agree with the idea of ​​sacrificing for justice?"

"Stay firm in your past beliefs, Sakaski! Only when all of you die, and only when everything that happened here is blamed on the revolutionary army, will this sea return to peace and justice continue!"

"Shh!"

The long knife fell, but was tightly grasped by the lava arm.

"Why can't you just die honestly? Where's the justice you once stood for, Sakaski?!"

"Cough cough..."

As his internal organs were damaged, he coughed up blood again, but Sakaski's gaze gradually became firm.

"So... is this what they call empathy, what they call putting yourself in someone else's shoes?"

Sakaski's voice was low but powerful: "If the child on the refugee ship at that time was me in the past, the me who had only talent before I obtained the lava fruit..."

"I would probably hate myself... I would hate myself for ordering the bombardment of the refugee ship, and I would wonder why I should sacrifice myself."

"boom!"

He threw a punch with Armament Haki, but Sakaski, who was hit, avoided it by transforming into an element in advance.

At the same time, lava suddenly erupted.

"boom!"

"No one is born to die, you bastard! Life itself should not be divided into noble and humble. Why do those high and mighty people think they can always be high and mighty?"

The lava was filled with black smoke, and Sakaski recoiled, his entire body attacking the opponent like a volcanic eruption.

"Bang bang bang..."

The artillery fire hit, but all attacks penetrated the body and were avoided by the elementalization.

"This world shouldn't be like this! True justice shouldn't be like this either!"

With a roar, the lava turned into a giant dog and soared into the sky.

"boom!"

The roar resounded throughout the sky, and huge clouds of dust scattered across the sea level.

The next moment, two figures fell down. "Shua!"

A revolutionary army operations captain picked up Sakaski and sent him to a refugee ship.

A navy doctor rushed out and started treating him.

After a moment's physical examination, the pupils were constricted.

Is this the amount of bleeding at the beginning?

A user with natural abilities was actually injured like this. The monster in front of him was once the one who had the greatest chance of becoming a general!
"Urgently need a blood transfusion! Is there anyone here with type F blood? Quick!"

[Note: Type F is the original work, not a second setting]

The hurried shouts ended, but the refugee ship was silent for a while.

But soon, one voice led everyone.

……

At the same time, CP agency has been calling for help for a long time.

The agents who were originally preparing to gather in Marinford launched a large-scale support here.

However, the hurricane created waves on the sea surface, blocking one ship after another.

Above the red earth continent, a figure looked at the huge monster in the distant sky.

In the power zone, the Five Elders who were ready to take action sat back down again.

"He didn't come in."

"But if we go out, it will ignite the war prematurely."

"Or one person uses his authority..."

For a moment, the Five Elders fell silent.

They knew very well what it meant to use their authority. Even Saint Satan had to do so because of Lord Im's accountability.

Even so, he chose to stay with Mary Geoise.

If the plan goes well, the Cloaked Man will not necessarily attack Marijoa, and the war will only break out in Marinford.

In this way, the mistake of the last soul damage can be forgiven and he will not be replaced.

"It's just a test before the war. Our preparations are all for the war in seven days."

"The mid-level officers behind the navy families have already clearly betrayed us. We can just block the entire Marinford and cut off the flow of information."

"Not willing to sacrifice for justice, the entire navy needs to be replaced."

"Except for Kevin, the other two among the three generals may not be without problems."

"Borsalino is deeply suspected of Baldigo's actions."

"As Garp's disciple, Kuzan's justice also needs to be reconsidered. This action will show whether they are loyal or not."

"Purging the disloyal people in the navy is also one of the goals!"

……

The atmosphere returned to normal and Kevin left the Red Earth Continent.

The CP agents surrounding the refugee ship also received the order to retreat.

……

Three hours later, the World Economic Times and the New Times reported the incident almost simultaneously, but the content was very different.

World Economic News front page: [Revolutionary Army attacks Navy refugee ship, attempts to exchange hostages]

The illustration was a large-format picture of an approaching brigantine flying the Revolutionary flag.

The content reported extensively on the heroic resistance of the Navy and its cooperation with the World Government's ambush forces, which ultimately repelled the Revolutionary Army's attack.

Despite this, some of the refugee ships were still damaged, and some of the naval escorts even mutinied.

The one in the first tier is the former reserve general Sakaski.

The World Government offered a bounty of 2.6 billion and also launched a wanted warrant for Major General Lanceloki and others.

It is interesting to note that the names of Smoker and Tina are not included in the bounty order.

Finally, the report gave a notice that the projection would be broadcast again around the world three days later, and this content seemed to allow the Revolutionary Army to confirm the location of the attacker.

……

On the other hand, the New Times, which was sent to all parts of the world almost at the same time, had content that was completely opposite to that of the World Economic News.

[Shocked! The family members of mid-level naval officers were treated like this! ]

The illustrations consist of more than a dozen small pictures, each of which is a screenshot of the attacker using the six styles.

The content then reported the whole cause and effect of the incident, including the World Government's intention to expose the evacuation time of the navy families from the very beginning, and why they wanted to continue to put the blame on the Revolutionary Army.

They are afraid. Those who used to be high and mighty are afraid of the resistance from the lower classes.

This is the only reason that could explain why they would take such action.

The liberation of the thoughts of the lower classes made them feel afraid, and they were willing to sacrifice the navy for it.

At the same time, the New Times also gave a time, and the entire incident process will be reported through some channel in three days.

……

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

This place, which used to be sunny, has been shrouded in shadow since an hour ago.

Neither the Newsbird nor the Owl entered here, and the Den Den Mushi radio signal was also blocked due to the high-intensity magnetic field chaos.

For a while, the entire naval headquarters seemed to be isolated from the world, and only internal short-distance communications could be carried out through wired means.

In the Marshal's office, Zhan Guo's eyes were already red.

"I said that the Navy will firmly complete the tasks assigned by the World Government! But your current actions will only make the entire Navy feel uneasy!"

In the special communication device, the voice of Saint Satan sounded: "Remember your identity, Warring States! No navy will be uneasy. As long as you don't tell the secret, no one will know what is above their heads!"

"Oh!"

The desk was smashed to pieces by a slap, and the goat next to it took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

"So what do you want to do? Do you want to destroy all of Marinford along with the navy and the revolutionary army? If..."

"Warring States!!"

In the loudspeaker, Satan Sheng said angrily: "The navy is part of the power of the World Government. The World Government also needs the power of the navy to maintain the stability of the sea! Without it, can the navy limit the teleportation ability of the cloaked man?"

After the words fell, Zhan Guo was stunned.

From the very beginning, he felt that there was something wrong with the actions planned by the world government this time.

Yes, if the Cloaked Man's ability to teleport cannot be restricted, then rescuing the hostages will be much more difficult for the Revolutionary Army.

Now he knew that this creepy thing above his head could block the space and make the cloaked man unable to use his teleportation ability.

"Really... it won't fall down?"

If that kind of attack were to land, Marinford would be a thing of the past.

No, it will be directly erased without any trace of its existence.

Saint Satan said in a deep voice: "In three days, we will also land in Marinford and be responsible for the defense of the bay."

After a moment of silence, Zhan Guo replied, "I understand."

After the call was disconnected, Zhan Guo looked at the people in the office.

The three admirals, Garp, Tsuru, and Zephyr.

Finally, his eyes fell on Kevin and the others: "We don't know what the thing above our heads is called, but we old guys have been lucky enough to see its power."

"The Valley of the Gods, the hometown of the Cloaked Man, was destroyed by it 27 years ago. It was completely destroyed from the map. And we old guys do have some guesses..."

"Ancient weapons."

After the words were spoken, there was silence in the office for a moment.

Borsalino smacked his lips. "It's really scary... If I'm surrounded by something like this, will I not even have time to react when I'm killed?"

Kuzan raised his head slightly: "So from now on, our lives are in their hands? This feeling is really uncomfortable."

Garp put away his usual unreliable attitude and clenched his fists: "In a week, there will be too many navy troops gathering in Marinford. Those guys should have some thoughts."

Garp patted Kuzan and Kevin on the shoulders and said, "Don't be too nervous, young man. It's enough for us old guys to leave the Cloak Man to us. You won't face that little bastard until we die."

Zefa on the side clenched his fists.

"Since that time, generations of the navy's backbone forces have been taught by me personally. They should not die in this struggle!"

"Sengoku, I will participate in the battle against the cloaked man."

Zhan Guo looked at him.

He could understand the weight of his old friend's words. After his family members were killed by pirates, each generation of new recruits in the navy became like his family.

Only at this time, Zefa, who had been in charge of the youth training camp and had never cared about worldly affairs, would make such a clear statement to join the battle.

You have to know that the pain of losing loved ones has broken my will and I haven't recovered until now.

The general who was once known as the Black Arm because of his domineering nature no longer has the fighting power he once had.

"understood."

Zhan Guo agreed.

At this time, He, who had been silent all the time, opened his eyes and looked at the dark sky outside the window.

"Under the influence of this thing, except for the device they sent over to communicate with the Five Elders, all the Den Den Mushi's radio waves can no longer be transmitted."

"They previously revealed the time of the evacuation of the refugee ship from the family quarters. I am worried that there will be problems here."

"Zhan Guo, they didn't trust us from the beginning. Whether it was the order to defend the bay or the act of exposing the evacuation time, it proved this."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo also frowned.

He hasn't had a good night's sleep in a month.

In the tide of this era, it seems that his position is the most difficult and the most difficult to choose.

Sometimes he felt that the revolutionary army was a group of lunatics, a group of lunatics who dared to use eggs to fight stones.

When the O'Hara incident began nearly twelve years ago, the cloaked man's combat power was only this strong.

But despite such a huge disparity in power, they still resolutely started the development of the revolutionary army and have continued to do so until today.

Sometimes I can't figure out the Warring States...

In such a hopeless world, with no hope for the future, how dare they do so? How dare they be so resolute!

"Ah la la... Don't worry, everyone on the refugee ship is fine."

Borsalino's voice made everyone look over, including Kevin.

Then he continued, "Don't look at me like that, it's too scary... The World Government's move to expose the evacuation time is also aimed at the Revolutionary Army, but it is not as simple as it seems."

"After the refugee ship left Marinford, the World Government also sent agents of the CP Agency to take action. They used ordinary large ships, flying the flag of the Revolutionary Army, and attacked the refugee ship."

"Lieutenant General Sakaski was seriously injured and unconscious, Major General Smoker was pierced through the abdomen, Major General Tina was slashed in the back and his internal organs were severely damaged... and Major General Lanceloki had his arm cut off."

"In addition... Ivankov, the captain of the Revolutionary Army's Great Route Army who came to support us, was seriously injured, the deputy commander Lightning was hit by the artillery fire and slightly injured, and the captain of the 03rd Battalion, Nano, was dying..."

"The captain of the 06th and 12th squads died, and eighteen members of the action team died..."
