Pirates: Start the vampire fruit, rescue the empress

The next day, at the crescent-shaped military port bay.

A class of military cadets, carrying their luggage in their hands, boarded a small warship led by Zefa.

This time, their journey did not need to pass through the Gate of Justice, but instead drove towards the distant Red Earth Continent.

On the deck of the warship, Jia Ji held a toothpick in his mouth, looked up at the towering Red Earth Continent, and said with a puzzled expression:

"Teacher Zefa, where are we going this time?"

Zefa put his arms around his shoulders and stood on the bow of the boat. He said without looking back:

"Go to Hong Kong, take the high-altitude elevator, and go to the new world."

"Huh!? This... new world!?"

It was said that the military cadets had different expressions on their faces, some were excited and some were worried.

While shaking the white feather fan in his hand, Kong Ming twirled his beard and muttered to himself:

"Could it be that our final actual combat assessment is to fight the pirates in the new world?"

Since this guy mastered the armed color domineering since the second half of the semester, when he was exercising the control of this power, he even figured out the skill of using the armed color to change the shape of objects.

Since then, that guy has become inseparable from his fan, and he also nicknamed it "allowing himself to exercise his armed domineering at any time".

However......

Sephiroth and others know that the reason why this guy is like this is purely because he thinks it's more pretentious and handsome!

Which person with a normal mind would take a fan and slap it a few times in the cold weather...?

The current temperature is only over ten degrees, less than twenty degrees, okay!

"That's right, the Navy Headquarters has received a request for help from the Kingdom of Dressrosa.

The old man was still thinking about arranging some final practical assessment for you, so I just happened to meet it, so I chose it.

So, the old man asked Marshal Steel Bone Kong to hand over this support mission to our squad. Zefa nodded and explained.

After the small warship sailed on the sea for nearly an hour, it finally saw a port town excavated from the red earth continent... Red Harbor!

It is the official passage leading to Mary Gioia. Many merchants and nobles use high-altitude elevators here to go to the other side of the Red Earth Continent, the New World.

Due to the importance and particularity of the town of Red Harbor, the Navy Headquarters, Marin Fando, directly dispatched tens of thousands of naval soldiers, as well as two lieutenant generals, to guard the town.

Such a town also exists on the other side of the Red Earth Continent, at the entrance of the New World, which is guarded by the G1 branch of the Navy.

Therefore, ordinary pirates, as long as their brains are healthy, will not appear near these two towns.

When the small warship was three kilometers away from the town of Hong Kong, two warships cruising on the nearby sea approached.

The commanders of the two warships chose to let the small warships sail into the port unimpeded after seeing that the leader on board was Admiral Zefa.

Led by Zefa, the cadets walked along the straight and spacious central avenue to the depths of Red Harbor Town, the platform of No. 1 high-altitude elevator.

The high-altitude lift is a bubble cage with a huge bubble at the bottom, which is bound by four metal ropes. Under the pull of the ropes, coupled with the buoyancy of the bubble itself, the lift can reach the starting port and the apex Mary Jo Between Asia, up and down.

After Zefa took out his military officer ID, the guards stationed on both sides of the platform opened the entrance of the elevator and let everyone board the spacious elevator.

Boom...!

With the sound of a mechanical roar, the elevator bound by four metal strips, carrying more than 30 people, slowly left the ground, headed towards the sky, and gradually sank into the clouds...

Soap bubbles fluttered around the elevator, reflecting colorful lights under the sunlight.

"It's so beautiful! Tina likes it so much..."

The pink-haired girl rested her hands on the railing of the elevator, looking at the clouds in the distance and the incomparably brilliant sun.

Gion wrapped her arms around her shoulders, making her chest stand taller, and she echoed softly:

"It is indeed a rare beauty! Ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to see it..."

Sephiroth glanced at Smoker beside him.

At this time, the other party was closing his eyes, with two cigars in his mouth, arms around his shoulders, and he kept stepping on the ground with the heel of his right leg.

"Smog...are you unwell?"

Smoker didn't even open his eyes, and replied in a blunt tone:

"I'm fine!"

Seeing this situation, Gion couldn't help covering his mouth and chuckling, with a slightly teasing tone:

"Hehehe! Could it be that you are afraid of heights!

Could it be that the last time I took the lift in the Chambord Islands, left a psychological shadow? "

Smoker: "..."

It took about 10 minutes for the high-altitude lift to climb from the Red Harbor to the Holy Land of Mary Gioia.

Then, everyone walked a long distance on the edge of the city before arriving at the platform of the No. 2 elevator. They took the high-altitude elevator again and arrived at the second half of the great channel, which is located in Red Harbor in the New World. There, I boarded the warship that had been waiting for a long time, and headed to Dressrosa...

Chapter 76 Dressrosa

The second half of the great channel, the new world.

The Kingdom of Dressrosa is a tropical island with abundant rainfall and a resort style.

On this island, the fragrance of flowers is everywhere, and it is famous all over the world for its delicacies. In addition to food, music and gladiator competitions, the passionate and unrestrained personalities of young women and their sexy and hot dances are also famous all over the world. far and near.

Therefore, Dressrosa also has the title of "the country of love and passion".

There is still a "fairy legend" circulating in this country. If something is stolen inexplicably, it is the work of a goblin. People don't need to track down the stolen thing, but it should be regarded as a strange tradition of luck.

In fact, the origin of the "Fairy Legend" is just that the current royal family. In order to make up for the former royal family in the past, the Don Quixote family enslaved the Dontata family known as the "little people" for a hundred years. atonement compensation.

800 years ago, the Don Quixote family left the Kingdom of Dressrosa and went to the Holy Land Marie Gioia. There is no need to work; whatever you need in life, you can get whatever you want."

In this way, the king called the mysterious disappearance of supplies "a prank of the goblin", hoping that the citizens would laugh it off.

And in later generations, the citizens who gradually learned the truth about the so-called goblins accepted the king's agreement without exception, and chose to silently guard this once-torn race.

As a result, Dressrosa's "fairy legend" gradually spread, and a peculiar tradition of "not only not pursuing the stolen things, but regarding them as luck" was formed in the country.

On the other hand, because of the kindness of the Liku royal family, the kind-hearted Dontata family ignored the previous suspicions and worked hard to transform the country into a land full of flowers and greenery, making the island always full of the fragrance of flowers. .

Gradually, these little "goblins" that people can't see have become the special "patron saints" of Dressrosa.

However, due to the promise of the Liku royal family, the Dressrosa Kingdom lost the hardworking and cheap labor of the Dontata family. After the Don Quixote family left, the country was much poorer than before.

However......

The Kingdom of Dressrosa is one of the member countries of the world government. In order to maintain the country's legal rights and status, it has to pay a huge amount of heavenly gold every year, which makes the country have to impose heavy taxes.

Therefore, the people of this country are living happily, but they are definitely not rich. It can only be said that the per capita is above the food and clothing line.

The Kingdom of Dressrosa belongs to the jurisdiction of the G5 branch of the Navy. However, since this branch is specially used by the Navy to exile and distribute problematic naval soldiers and let them wait for retirement, the number of manpower of this branch has always been far lower than that of other g The branch of the prefix.

Therefore, the security situation at sea in this sea area is not very good. There are often pirates haunting and robbing passing ships.

After passing through this sea area and continuing to go deeper, it is the area where the major pirate forces of the New World are separated. , The country is divided into its own sphere of influence.

Due to the special situation in the new world, most countries are ruled by pirates and the world government at the same time, while those countries that are not members of the world government are under the rule of the pirate forces.

The reason why the pirates rushed into the great channel, apart from the onepiece that Roger said before his death, there is another important reason is that they want to lay down their own territory in the chaotic new world, and even call themselves kings.

What kind of prince will Xiangning?

This is probably the mentality of the pirates in the new world. Those nobles can be kings, why can't they...?

Therefore, in the new world, apart from looting the materials of hostile forces, pirates also need to maintain the "security" of their own territory.

Among them, take the most powerful Whitebeard Pirates in the sea as an example. They will plunder islands or ships that are not under their own rule, and those islands or countries that offer their confession to them will be plundered. When other pirate forces invade, in order to maintain the prestige of the pirate group, they must also retaliate against the forces that dare to offend them.

To some extent, this slightly absurd pirate rule has made those large pirate groups have broken away from the category of pure pirates...

Even for the first half of the great channel, those pirate groups who only burn, kill and loot in the paradise, but have not established their own territory, will have a contemptuous mentality, thinking that the other party is just playing "pirate play house". "game.

In Sephiroth's view, although the Four Emperor Pirates of the New World are still in the category of pirates, they already have the embryonic form of a "country" in form.

It's just that this "country" is based on the absolute strength of each of the Four Emperors' strategic levels.

Therefore, in the eyes of the five old stars, the Four Emperor Pirates are at most another form of country, and there are so many countries in this world, and there are so many non-world government countries, four more is not a big problem , can't threaten the rule of Tianlong people at all.

Therefore, just ignore the Four Emperor Pirates and let them play slowly in the new world by themselves.

A hundred years later, those four emperors have turned into a pile of dry bones, but the world government is still standing.

Compared with the small pirates, the revolutionary army established by Dorag is the serious problem of the world government. They pursue freedom and equality, want to overthrow the rule of the Tianlong people, and continue to spread this idea.

People are mortal, but thoughts can be continued...

In order to erase the thoughts of a certain ancient kingdom, the world government spent a full 100 years, at the expense of making the world civilization go backwards, and implemented a policy of obscuring the people, so that people gradually forgot the idea of ​​pursuing freedom and equality...

Closer to home, because of poverty, after the Kingdom of Dressrosa delivered a huge amount of heavenly gold and joined the world government, it can no longer afford one more offering object for the pirate force.

This makes their country often invaded by other pirate groups.

If it weren't for the Liku royal family's "benevolent government", which is relatively simple, never extravagant and wasteful, and never collects excessive taxes, this country will definitely fall into complete poverty and hunger...

This time, Zefa led the military students to come to support, in order to destroy a pirate alliance......

The port on the east coast of the Kingdom of Dressrosa, flanked by mushroom rocks.

A warship slowly sailed in from the sea, anchored and docked on the shore.

Under the leadership of Zefa, a group of cadets quickly walked down the gangway and landed on the pier.

Not far away, the three-meter-tall Cyrus, the commander of the Dressrosa army, walked over with ten soldiers.

"Presumably, you are Admiral Zefa, right?

I am Cyrus, the commander of the army of my country, and I am here to greet you by the order of King Liku. "

"Then trouble Your Excellency Cyrus!"

A hearty smile appeared on Zefa's face, and he nodded towards the other party.

Under the leadership of Cyrus, the crowd walked on the straight King's Avenue, crossed the central square, and headed for the palace.

After walking for a long time, they arrived at the main hall, and saw the black-haired King Liku sitting on the throne in his prime.

"General Zefa, you are welcome!"
