One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

The sun rises and sets, time flies by, and five days pass quietly.

East China Sea, Windmill Kingdom.

The towering city walls gleam with golden light in the sun, and the sea breeze blows the waves and makes a roar on the steel surface.

On both sides of the circular wall, dark and mighty navy ships are neatly arranged, with gun muzzles like the abyss aimed at the distance, and bloody flags fluttering in the wind.

The birds in the sky circled, and seemed to feel the tense atmosphere. After a few simple chirps, they spread their snow-like wings and rode the salty and humid sea breeze forward.

Passing through the towering city walls, passing the soldiers moving in an orderly manner below, overlooking the black waves like the ocean on the square, the white seagulls dropped a few feathers.

Among the swaying and falling white feathers, he stood steadily on the top of the "Sky Dragon Hoof" flag pierced by three sharp swords, looking into the distance at this solid steel fortress.

According to the plan that had been made long ago, during these five days, Heath and Xiren, as well as a group of high-ranking officials of the kingdom, all residents within a radius of thousands of miles were relocated.

And with the power of the Floating Fruit and the Island Fruit, an island with a diameter twice that of Marinford was forcibly pieced together.

In addition, with the awakened Iron Fruit of Heath, the largest fortress in hundreds of years of human history came into being.

Looking at the time on the watch, the commanders of the fleets on both wings of the island picked up the Den Den Mushi and began to shout to the entire army, signaling the ships to enter the combat area.

A total of 100 warships on both sides were arranged horizontally in echelons of 50 ships, like two natural moats across the sea, protecting Divanstin behind them.

Although 100 warships are not many for this war, and can even be described as very few, these warships are not ordinary ships. Each of them is equipped with the most advanced technology of the Windmill Kingdom.

In addition, the hull of the warship is not made of traditional wood, but a special alloy, which is much harder than ordinary steel.

Coupled with some scattered configurations inside, the cost of any ship will not be less than 3.5 billion Baileys.

This is when the material supplier sells the raw materials at the lowest price.

Without the support of the world's richest man, Tezoro, and other member countries, the Windmill Kingdom alone would not be able to come up with so much funding in another hundred years.

Behind these warships lined up in a row, there are four lines of defense.

The first line of defense is the towering walls on the outer and inner sides of Divanstin. On these walls with metallic luster, there is a machine gun every five steps, and a powerful cannon every ten steps.

The thumb-thick Gatling gun barrel and the black muzzle exude a terrifying power, pointing to the golden sea in the distance. They will carry out a full-scale saturation attack the moment the World Government's fleet appears, in order to annihilate the enemy's living forces as much as possible.

The second line of defense is located below the two city walls. It is a long road with a width of 2 kilometers. Through this road, you can directly lead to the execution platform.

In the middle of this road paved with stones and mud, more than a dozen captains of the Whitebeard Pirates and the four commanders of the Revolutionary Army each led an army to form an unbreakable pass.

Behind them are the armies of the member countries wearing different costumes.

Once the large forces of the World Government break through the blockade of warships on the periphery and resist the saturation attack of machine guns and artillery positions, they will land successfully.

Then, it will be up to these people with lofty ideals who yearn for freedom and peace to stop them from breaking into the square and buy enough output time for the artillery on the city wall.

Joz and Ivankov folded their hands in front of their chests, surrounded by companions who were as powerful as them, and looked at the endless sea at the end of the road with determination.

The white ribbon tied on their arms is a gift from them who are still alive to themselves after death.

The third line of defense is the defensive formation formed by 10 general-level warriors, including Yixiao, Dorag, Soros, Barrett, etc., as well as a large number of elite lieutenant generals and countless naval officers on the Divanstin Square.

On the wide square, the powerful momentum emanating from tens of thousands of people gathered into a column of air that soared into the sky, stirring up the sea of ​​clouds above.

The fourth line of defense is simpler than the previous ones, and it is not even a line of defense in essence.

Because here, besides An, there is only Saint Maz kneeling on the execution platform with heavy sea stone shackles on his back.

This means that if you want to rescue Saint Maz, you must defeat An from the front.

Going further back, it is the military building of Divanstin, which symbolizes unswerving faith and is engraved with two powerful and ancient characters "Wall of Justice"! !

On the surface of two wide walls, one low and one high, the logistics personnel of the NEO Navy went back and forth, tirelessly carrying bullets and shells.

Even if the heavy artillery and machine guns were piled up into a small hill behind them, they continued to carry them back and forth.

"That's enough, comrade! These are enough for us!"

The artillerymen and machine gunners, who were biting cigars against the wall and looked nervous, gradually smiled a little because of each other's actions.

As if he didn't hear what the other party said, the logistics personnel who were carrying supplies continued to "go their own way".

No longer paying attention to the frightened poor guy, the biting sea breeze blew over, and the artilleryman stretched out his trembling palm, took out a box of matches from the pocket of his military uniform, and struck it several times before lighting it.

Huh!

Taking a deep breath, his warm body exhaled a long stream of smoke. The artilleryman stood up, looked at the deserted city in the distance, and said, "I haven't smoked a cigar in almost three years. I almost forgot about it." It tastes like that.”

Letting the turbulent sea breeze accelerate the burning of the cigar, he lifted his hair and collar, and the man in military uniform remained motionless, enjoying the moment of tranquility before the war.

"I really don't understand you guy. You obviously have hundreds of millions in wealth to inherit, but you have to go to the army to suffer." The machine gunner sitting on the back asked puzzledly while smoking a cigarette.

The man smoking the cigar chuckled, turned around and asked: "What about you, the only son of the Finance Minister of the Kingdom of Korrok in the West Sea? Why don't you inherit your father's position honestly and run away from home to come thousands of miles away? What about the windmill kingdom outside?”

Seeing that his identity was exposed, the young man sitting next to him didn't care. He pinched out the cigarette in his hand with his thumb and index finger, showing a look of disgust, and said: "Don't compare me with those despicable nobles, I would rather die in this chaos." I don’t want to be a disgusting silverfish like them on the battlefield!”

"If I have to find a reason, it's probably because of..."

"In my heart, there is justice that has not yet been extinguished!!"
