In the town, Bellamy was still supervising the battle, when he suddenly saw his men flying away one by one in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled evilly, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, saying:

"If you encounter a guy who's not weak, step back and I'll deal with him!"

He squatted down on his knees, and his calves turned into springs. He jumped up suddenly, and his body quickly bounced on the surrounding buildings. The huge momentum overturned the roofs of those buildings and smashed through the walls. After gathering momentum, He punched directly at the person in the center.

"Roar!!"

But just when Bellamy was about to attack, the man turned his head and opened his mouth, and a thunderous light flew out of his mouth, hitting his body.

Bang! !

During the roar, Bellamy flew backwards far away, covered in blood. Just when he was about to fall, his body trembled and he immediately spun to the ground.

"cough!"

He half-knelt on the ground, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and blood was flowing from his facial features at this moment.

"You guy!"

Bellamy gritted his teeth and growled, and was about to stand up and continue fighting with him, but at this moment, a figure quickly flashed in front of him.

"Lady Lily!"

He gritted his teeth and said: "Please let me continue fighting, I will definitely defeat him!"

"Sarge doesn't want to waste too much time in this small town, so please step back."

Lily said without looking back, and at the same time looked at the tall but luxuriously dressed man in the center of the fighting crowd, "Ability user?"

"I am a sonic person who ate the sonic fruit. I can use my roar to gather sound waves to attack!"

The man shouted: "Similarly, I am also the mayor of this town, pirates, you"

"Okay, that's it."

Whoosh!

Before the ability user mayor could finish his words, Lily's figure flashed again, making a sharp sound, and brought out a thunderous white light that passed over his body.

Lily appeared behind the mayor, the rapier in her hand being put back into its sheath.

"Hey you"

The mayor's eyes twitched, and when he turned his head and was about to speak out, he saw the blonde woman retracting the last glowing blade.

Click.

laugh!

The blood spurting out in his field of vision made him look stunned, but before he could think about it, his body shook and fell to the ground.

Lily turned and walked towards the Death Star. When passing by Bellamy, she said calmly: "Okay, let's leave the next step to you. Remember to bring that person back. Also, if you waste more time, I will only doubt your ability." , Bellamy.”

"I won't let you down!"

Bellamy's face turned red, and after watching Lily leave, he turned to face the guys who had gradually lost their resistance because of the mayor's fall. His legs turned into springs again, and he squatted down with a vicious look on his face. The colors were flowing around again.

Although the new world is powerful, ordinary people are still ordinary people. They will not be any stronger. Maybe they just have more combat experience.

But for those with abilities, it will only take some effort.

Bellamy personally joined the battle, but the remaining resistance could not withstand it at all. The dead and wounded quickly escaped, allowing the pirates to enter the manor and search for loot from inside.

As the boxes were taken out one by one, including the ability user, they were also brought to the ship. The black ship set off, leaving only a group of shocked civilians behind.

Isn't that a pirate?

Why not rob them?

This question didn't last long, and some smart people realized that if the mayor is gone, there will be no need to collect taxes!

The ability user brought on board the Death Omen was also manipulated by Sag, and was taken to be the companion of the person with the Steel Melt Fruit, but when he used the Fist of the North Star, he also hit that person. The mayor's secret hole made him reveal a lot of truth.

"Sag, this robbery."

In the captain's room, Lily came in not long after Sager entered. Just when he was about to report, Sager waved his hand, "I don't want to listen to the millions of Baileys. They gave me half and gave me the rest. They divided it among themselves. There is something." , you come and add up with me.”

He sat down at his desk, picked up the bottle of wine he had not finished, poured himself a glass, and said, "The mayor doesn't have that many troops. The more than 300 people gathered in the town are from surrounding islands. "

It is difficult to communicate between islands in the sea, especially the Grand Line, but it does not mean that there is really no communication. At least in the surrounding sea areas, there are still some bold people who will travel between islands.

The mayor recruited these people for the same reason as Barnaby: to go to the Kingdom of Gareth and accept the invitation of the great nobleman to fight for him.

In addition to wealth, the great noble also promised that if he had great merit, he could even divide a piece of land in the Gareth Kingdom and become a noble of the kingdom.

This is much better than this small town in a remote area.

"It can be seen that the Kingdom of Gareth is very big. They are recruiting troops everywhere. It is not just an army of tens of thousands."

Sage smiled, drank the wine in his glass, and said with a smile: "For such a big scene, it would be a pity to be without me. Lily, I have made a plan. Listen, first, we have to attack Fort Augustine. , break open its gate, occupy Augustine, recruit troops, then attack separately, destroy the resistance of Gareth and Timaton, and then completely occupy this territory, how about it!"

Lily: "..."

She was silent for a long time before saying, "No problem."

This is called Plan?

What kind of plan is this?

Do you just do whatever you say?

But think about it again, isn't this Sager's style? The biggest direction is already there, and the rest is up to his subordinates.

It is also the business of these people to be responsible for formulating detailed strategies, tactics and plans.

No matter what I say now, let’s get over there first.

Half a month later.

Gareth Kingdom, main island Gareth.

Different from the plains of Timmaton, the secondary island, Gareth Island is mountainous and there are not many places to dock. If you want to dock, you basically have to bypass the main island and reach Fort Augustine.

But that was the previous method. Since the kingdom fell into civil strife, few people have landed at Fort Augustine, because the seaway in the center of the island is now full of warships, bombarding them every day.

Although Fort Augustine belongs to Gareth, it has not been occupied yet. The main island of Gareth and the secondary island of Timmaton have been constantly fighting for it. Today someone entered the city gate, and tomorrow someone will land around Fort Augustine and fight for it again. Lower Augustineburg, back and forth, not only did the city fail to be captured, but many buildings were damaged.

Therefore, the two sides have now developed a tacit understanding. No one will occupy Augustine first, but will decide who is the winner and who will occupy Augustine Castle.

This has resulted in the current situation, where the two sides are fighting fiercely every day based on the sea lanes.

Although the ruler of Gareth, the main island, is recognized as a great aristocrat, the current leader, the great aristocrat Nikiphokas Tihana, has been elected as the next king. He is rich and powerful, but most of his troops are small. The troops are still subordinate to the nobles, so there is no way to fight.

The ruler of Fuejima Timaton was born in the kingdom's army. Before he called himself the illegitimate son of the old king, he was very prestigious in the army. He was also the strongest man in the kingdom, with as many as 100,000 troops, all of whom were loyal to him. The only thing people lack is money.

According to this power, William the 'Little Lion' should have won, but the nobles are really rich!

A group of nobles united. Although they were reluctant to part with their own troops, but the lives of outsiders were not worth much, they simply waved their hands and decided to recruit, let the coalition troops enter, promised them generous rewards, and allowed them to rob in Timmaton.

The plain terrain was full of landing points, and small groups of troops landed, making it impossible to defend. Just resisting these pirates consumed a lot of energy from the young lion, resulting in not many troops being put into the battlefield.

Coupled with the fact that there are main forces engaged in naval battles on the sea lanes, it is now a stalemate.

boom!

Boom boom!

Outside the gate of Fort Augustine along the shore, which should be located on the southeast side according to the cost-effectiveness of the waterway, is the wide seaway, which is wider than the Sundora River in Alabasta.

Such a huge seaway should have been the only place for people to pass, but now it has been reduced to a battlefield. The sea is full of scattered shipwrecks. In the sea, two fleets confront each other, moving sideways in the seaway, and issuing from time to time. The cannonball splashed water next to the opposite fleet, or hit a ship, making a hole, hitting the powder magazine, and igniting flames on the ship.

Occasionally, those who were unlucky were hit by a large number of cannonballs, causing the ship to fall apart. The survivors fell into the sea and desperately swam upstream to their own ships, or swam directly to Fort Augustine.

"Another ship was sunk."

On the huge wall of the city, a group of nobles were watching the battle. One of the nobles wearing a red blanket and cloak chuckled: "When they finish fighting, send people down to fish for it. Maybe they can find some valuables." , those pirates like to put things on themselves.”

"You are so evil that you want everyone's money, hahahaha, whoever sees you will get a share, give me half of it!" Another noble said with an evil smile.

"How can a group of untouchables have the right to occupy treasures? Those shiny things are not worthy of those sweaty and dirty guys. They should obediently hand over the things that don't belong to them, and then sweat the stinky soles of their feet. Shengni, either work hard on the battlefield or continue farming in the farmland.”

The nobleman wearing a blanket said disdainfully: "Giving them a chance now is already a gift from us. At least if they are still alive, I will give them some hard-earned money for their hard work."

"Hehehe, let's fight for a while longer. No matter who wins, we will make money." Another noble laughed out loud.

Will both sides not enter Augustinburg?

Is it because they don't want to come in?

No, it's because the nobles living here don't let them in.

What's the use of seizing the city gate, and what's the use of coming in? The armies of both sides are confronting each other. If a small group of troops comes in, they will sneak them out and then put the blame on the other side.

This not only allows Fort Augustine to avoid the battlefield, but also draws the attention of both sides to the other side, rather than focusing on this 'city of longing for the world'.

It was them who gave both sides the illusion that whoever wins first can occupy Fort Augustine and become the lord of the Kingdom of Gareth and the ruler of the main island of Gareth and the secondary island of Timaton.

Until then, they will make a war fortune.

They don’t have the guts to seize the kingdom, but they have the guts to make a fortune through the war to seize the kingdom. Not only do they have it, they are also very bold!

"That woman Tihana is also an idiot. She actually believed the rumor that William, the untouchable, wanted to kill all the nobles. That's why we had the opportunity. Look, now we are bringing in those coalition forces who came for wealth and territory. Let them consume William's troops and rob Timmaton and Gareth's wealth, and the money will eventually come to Fort Augustine."

Another noble said: "It doesn't cost anything to get the treasure they robbed. With such a good opportunity, the war cannot end soon."

The mercenary decree that they instigated and had Tihana sign brought them huge wealth. In addition to plundering Timaton, the main island of Gareth was also plundered by these coalition forces. Those people were not considered There are always some good people who dare to rob.

But they couldn't take away the money, because these people were confused by the rewards in the law. In addition to the rich money, they also said they would provide territory after the war.

The premise is that they can still survive.

The nobleman wearing a blanket also smiled: "Yes, and it was signed by Tihanna and has nothing to do with us. Even if Tihana wins in the end, it is her fault. We just live in Fort Augustine and have nothing to do with the outside world. Poor people who don’t communicate and wait for Master Wang.”

Of course, the nobility is complicated. The court nobles living in Fort Augustine and the territorial nobles living in Gareth are all related by blood. They united to create this situation.

"I still hope that Tehanna wins. He represents people like us, but it's okay if William wins. He doesn't have the foundation of people like us. He has to rely on us to become the king, just like the old king." Before. The nobleman said with an evil smile.

"somebody is coming."

The nobles wearing blankets looked down and saw at the city gate, a group of injured coalition soldiers swam up from the sea and helped each other to reach the city gate.

"Sir, let us go in, some of our friends need treatment!" The leader shouted to the top.

It was just the city wall above the city gate that made no sound.

The blanket noble looked down at the people below and said disdainfully: "Don't be kidding, this is Augustine, the Pearl of the Sea. How do we know if you want to occupy this place after entering? In times of war now, safety is the top priority in everything."

"But we were invited by you to come and fight for you!"

The man shouted: "Augustine is not a free city. We just want to go in to rest and heal our injuries. We will continue to fight when our injuries are healed! Sir, we are here for wealth, but we also keep our promises!" "

"Shut up! You damn pariah!"

The blanket noble said angrily: "What qualifications do you people have to make promises to us? That is not something you can touch. This is a free city-state, but everything is measured by money! Before the war started, could you just come in and treat your injuries?" Don’t you want to pay? It will be more expensive during the war! If you pay, we will mercifully put a doctor down and give you a cup of hot water.”

"But we robbed a lot before and brought them all to you!" the man said unwillingly.

"kill him!"

Whoosh!

On top of the huge city wall, the soldier in charge of the guard pulled the trigger, and the lead bullet from the flintlock hit the man's head, causing a burst of blood and him falling to the ground.

"How dare you slander us? We don't know anything about what was brought to us. It was you despicable foreigners who did it secretly!" The blanket nobles shouted: "We are just a group of kind nobles, and we only help out of intolerance. I’ve killed you, but you still have to push your limits!”

"You're right, let's just kill them all!"

"Yes, kill all those who dare to slander the nobles!"

The nobles on the city wall were clamoring.

Boom!

Just when the blanket noble raised his hand and was about to give the order to kill everyone below, a loud thunder exploded in the sky, sweeping out the dark clouds.

Heavy raindrops fell and wet the tops of their heads.

It's raining heavily
