From Admiral to Gotei Thirteen

"Catapult!?" roared another general.

In front of the rebel camp, several tall catapults had already been set up.

Although they couldn't play with something more brutal like artillery, the rebels could still afford the catapult, a relatively cheap siege weapon.

"Prepare the artillery, prepare the artillery! Blow up those damned catapults!" A general of the artillery team shouted while holding a phone bug.

The artillery arranged on the city wall also adjusted their muzzle angles one after another, and soon, a large number of shells began to explode in the catapult camp.

After a while, several catapults were blown up.

During this period, the catapult was also continuously smashing boulders into the city wall of Albana.

This war seems to have become extremely dangerous from the very beginning.

Under the sandy slope of the city wall, in the rebel camp, a young general wiped the rain off his face, looked at the fierce battle ahead, and waved: "Grudo, take a group of people and charge again. , We must buy enough time, we have to build a camp at the foot of the city wall! The follow-up materials and soldiers can quickly join this final battle!"

"Yes, Koza!" The strong man named Grudo replied, and then, he picked up his mace and led the people to the front line without looking back.

Koza, one of the leaders of the rebel army, is one of the rare people who has not been bought and controlled by Crocodile.

When he was very young, he participated in the construction of Yuba, and he also watched helplessly as the oasis city he built with his own hands withered. childhood playmate.

And now, Kosha can't wait to break the royal city of the Naferutali clan!

At the same time, on the top floor of the Oasis Hotel, Diarmuid was biting a cigar in his mouth, looking at the gradually diminishing rain outside the window, and the fierce battle on the city wall, he was filled with emotion.

As an admiral of the navy, he also climbed up from the bottom step by step. He has experienced countless battles, large and small, and participated in sea battles involving tens of thousands of people.

But it was indeed the first time he had seen this kind of siege battle where tens of millions of people were fighting.

And from the perspective of this bystander, it is even more clear to see, and even more able to understand the cruelty inside.

". "Whether it is the Geming Army, the Rebel Army, or the Kingdom Army, in the end, everyone is just fighting for their own interests. The real unlucky ones are the people of this country..." Diarmud He sighed softly.

"Will you also feel sad for this?" Virgo glanced at Diarmuid in surprise.

"This is not a kind of sorrow, but just a feeling. It is an eternal truth. No matter how many times this world is destroyed and rebuilt, this cycle of reincarnation will not change." Diarmud He smiled.Virgo nodded when he heard the words, and didn't dwell on the topic. Instead, he asked, "General, what do you think of the current battle situation? Who has the upper hand?"

"At present, the Kingdom Army must have the upper hand. To be honest, if there is no such weird Shapo, the Kingdom Army will have a greater advantage. At least they don't have to start a hand-to-hand battle with the rebels so quickly." Dill Mud touched his chin and said.

After a slight pause, he continued: "But after that, the advantages will be gradually reduced and turned into disadvantages, haven't you noticed? The morale of the Royal Army is far less than that of the rebels, and the number of people in the army In fact, the rebels are more dominant, the most important point (to Zhao's) is the initiative in the war, Virgo, look at this battlefield, tell me, in whose hands is the initiative in?"

Virgo was silent for a while, and then said: "The rebels!"

"That's right, the power to attack belongs to the rebels. This is their greatest advantage, and this advantage will become more powerful as time goes by. If I were the general of the Royal Army, I would definitely find a way to destroy their supplies and food, otherwise, with full preparations, the rebels could completely consume the Royal Army by taking turns fighting." Diarmuid said with a smile.

But soon, Diarmuid added another sentence: "But no matter what, I already thought that the Kingdom Army, the Naferutali family, would inevitably fail, together with Drago's Geming Army." Why? Is it because Crocodile's helpers are strong enough?" Virgo asked curiously after thinking about it.

"No, it's because the Naferutali family can actually control the huge Alabasta, but only the capital is left. Albana, this is a very rare phenomenon, and whenever this happens This phenomenon means...failure is already a foregone conclusion." Diarmuid said softly.

Virgo froze for a moment, then thought about it again, it seems to be the same thing.

In a huge country, only the capital is left in the hands of the king...

Isn't this a failure?

Failure is inevitable! .

Chapter 369 Iron Fist Sanctions from Marie Joya!

Navy Headquarters.marineford.

Gion was sitting in the marshal's office at this time, eating a piece of bread in his hand.

Lieutenant General Garp was also sitting here, eating bread with Gion. Of course, with his shameless posture, he naturally wanted to eat with his cheek.

Marshal Warring States is holding a newspaper in his hand and is reading the information on it.

If there is any major event that has been very hot recently, it is the civil war that broke out in the superpower Alabasta.

Millions of troops besieged the capital.Albana made many small countries look stupid.

And even for big figures like the Marshal of the Warring States Period, a war with a million-strong army is indeed rare, and it may not be seen once in decades.

Therefore, it can be said that the battle situation in Albana is the concern of the whole world.

"It's been fighting for a week, right? It is said that the corpses are all over the base of the city wall." Garp glanced at Sengoku and asked.

"To be precise, it's the Alabasta rebels... No, it should be the rebels. On the eighth day of the offensive against Albana, the battle is very stalemate." Marshal Warring States smacked his lips.

At first, the army besieging Albana was called 'rebels' in the newspapers.

But now, the newspapers have called it the 'Rebel Army' and 'Rebel Army'.

The reason is very simple, Mary Joya has already started to create momentum on the fishing boat.

In the first two days, there were often voices in the newspapers questioning Mary Joya, why the Naferutali family, as the royal family of the franchise country, did not provide certain rescue operations when faced with this problem ?

Or even help the Naferutali clan to suppress the rebellion?

This question is not difficult to understand. In fact, most of the royal families of the franchise countries are also waiting to see how Mary Gioia responds to this incident.

There was Dressrosa before, and Doflamingo staged a pirate usurpation of the country. Although the hands and feet were very clean, the kings knew what was going on in their hearts.

That time, they had already lost some confidence in Mary Joya.

Good guy, Liku.More than 700 De Santos with Don Quixote.Doflamingo, Mary Gioia actually chose a pirate among them?

And now, the war in Albana can basically be seen as a group of 'mobs' overthrowing their 'king' of power and status.

If Mary Joya doesn't support the Nafiru Tali family, if they just sit back and watch them being overthrown by the mob.

Then, when they encounter such a thing in the future, how will Mary Joya choose?

Then is it necessary to hand in some heavenly gold?Can the status of joining the royal family still protect them?

Faced with this doubt, Mary Joya quickly responded, claiming that there were many internal problems in the Alabasta incident, and Mary Joya was doing her best to investigate the truth.

At first, the royal families of the joining countries thought it was a perfunctory act.

But soon, a lot of exciting news began to be published in the newspapers.

The Naferutali clan had secretly supported the Songming Army organization, and even the Marie Gioia arson case back then was likely behind the Naferutali clan's push.

Then it broke out that the Geming Army might be joining forces with the Naferutali clan. This 'uprising' originated from the conspiracy of the Geming Army in Alabasta, but the "rebels" saw the back In the darkness, a rebellion against the Geming Army was launched.

In order to control Alabasta, the Geming Army had to join forces with the Naferutali clan.

The Naferutali clan actually cooperated with the Geming Army!

All kinds of gossip began to fly in the sky.

And the views of the royal families of the various franchise countries on this matter have gradually changed.

If it is really just a movement where the people want to overthrow the royal family and resist oppression, then they must support the Naferutali clan.

You mud legs, just donate blood to my nobles, and you still want to resist?

It's the other way around!

But if it is said that the Naferutali family and the Geming Army are in trouble (bccj), that is another matter, then you should hurry up and die, we can change the royal family of Alabasta, it seems that it is not bad too much?

As for Mary Joya, her inaction towards Alabasta seems to be understandable.

Just kidding, Nafiru Tali has started to cooperate with the Geming Army, and may even be involved in the arson case of Marie Gioia, who will save them?

To be honest, if these are the facts, Mary Joya would have taken good care of them if she hadn't made trouble and went to exterminate the Naferutali clan! ?

With the ferment of fishing boats in the newspapers, the current war in Alabasta and everyone's positions have shifted greatly.

It is also because of this that people who were originally called 'rebels' are now called 'rebels'.

As for Marie Gioia, it seems that she is waiting for a piece of evidence with a hammer to completely characterize the Naferutali clan.

"How sticky?" Garp asked, swallowing the bread in his mouth.

"In eight days, the rebel army launched 26 attacks, and they stormed Albana day and night. I don't know if Albana can hold it." Marshal Warring States smacked his lips and said.

"What do you mean, you support Cobra?" Garp looked at Sengoku in surprise and asked.

"Nonsense, do I still support that pirate Crocodile?" Marshal Warring States glared at Karp and said.

After a short pause, Marshal Warring States said again: "Your Majesty Cobra has some friendship with me. At the World Conference back then, he was one of the few people who dared to stand up with our navy to oppose His Majesty's Qiwuhai plan." , I just didn’t expect this kind of thing to happen now, alas..."

Karp nodded and said, "That's true."

But soon, Garp said again: "By the way, isn't that bastard Diarmuid in Alba? If you ask him to help, Cobra will be saved?" "I'm just psychological support." , how can you do something against Mary Joya now?" Marshal Warring States hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"Hypocrisy!" Garp cursed.

Marshal Sengoku didn't bother to pay attention to Garp, then looked at Gion and said, "Speaking of which, Diarmuid has been out for half a year, right? Or even longer? What is he doing? He hasn't come back yet?"

Gion put down the bread in his hand, took a sip of hot milk, and then said in satisfaction: "In his words, he is traveling, but in fact, he has been mysterious recently, saying that he will give me a gift when he comes back." We were pleasantly surprised, and our own strength has made a qualitative breakthrough."

"What?" Marshal Warring States was a little surprised.

Even Garp looked at Gion in disbelief and asked, "A qualitative breakthrough in strength?"

"That's right." Gion nodded.

When they have reached this step, it can be called a "qualitative" breakthrough, which must have broken the bottleneck and made a further step in the true sense.

But whether it's Sengoku, Karp, or Gion, they all know that Diarmuid's strength is already very strong, so strong that it can basically be said to be the limit.

In this case, how did he achieve a 'qualitative' breakthrough?

"How did he do it? Could it be that he learned some powerful swordsmanship and considered it a 'quality' breakthrough?" Garp asked curiously.

But after saying this, he suddenly laughed himself.

"Hahahahaha, that guy Diarmuid heard it, he must fight me hard, he hates others talking about his kendo level!" Garp laughed.

This can be regarded as a little joke among the senior navy generals.

Everyone knows that Diarmuid made his debut in Beihai back then with his sword skills, and he even had a 'fight' with Shiji once in sword skills.

But after arriving in the headquarters, this guy's kendo level has not made much breakthrough at all, and has basically been in a state of being criticized, at a half-baked level.

However, his strength in other aspects has improved by leaps and bounds, which makes his swordsmanship even more embarrassing.

So those senior generals often joked about Diarmud, which made Diarmud angry and funny.

Marshal Sengoku and Gion also laughed.

It's just that Gion didn't know what kind of "qualitative breakthrough" Diarmuid was, so he could only shake his head and didn't say any more.After the three chatted for a while, Gion stood up and said, "Okay, I'm going to sea." "Where are we going?" Karp asked.

"Recently, I just have nothing to do. Mr. Zefa invited me to participate in a military drill, and he will personally lead the team." Gion said with a smile.

Marshal Warring States nodded happily when he saw this and said: "That's very good, I think you powerful guys should participate in this kind of activity from time to time, it can effectively stimulate the enthusiasm of those little guys. "Really? Ace is going too?" Garp asked quickly.

"Go, all the new ones will go." Gion nodded.

"Ahahahahaha, well, let him perform well!" Karp said with a big laugh.

In fact, there is not only Ace, but also the good seed 'Ain' who is also very potential in the teacher Zefa's mouth.

However, just as Gion was about to leave, there was a knock on the door of the office, and Marshal Sengoku put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Come in."

Then, a naval colonel pushed the door in, holding what looked like a special issue of the World News in his hand, and said to the Marshal of the Warring States Period: "Marshal, what did you say about the situation in Alabasta? , to report directly to you, the commander of the Eastern Army of the army. Bello Betty was photographed, and now Marie Gioia has unilaterally deprived the Naferutali family of joining the royal family status!" The captain of the navy Ri took the special issue and said.

Although this news has been expected, it is still explosive enough. Before, although the newspapers also claimed that Nafiru Tali and Ge Mingjun were making trouble together.

But they are all suspicions, and there is no real hard evidence.

But now, it seems that the evidence is coming!

Garp snatched the urgent special issue, glanced at it twice, and said in surprise: "Marie Joya ordered Shichibukai, the king who is stationed in Alabasta. Crocodile is in charge of matters in Alabasta, and arrest him as soon as possible. The Naferutali family, sent to the Holy Land for trial? These bastards actually granted Crocodile the right to rule Alabasta?"

"It's probably only temporary. The people in Marie Gioia are not so idiots yet." Marshal Warring States took the special issue from Garp's hand and said.

"Even if it's only temporarily, it's disgusting enough," Garp said through gritted teeth.

Gion looked at Marshal Sengoku, then at Garp. She was not interested in the matters of Alabasta and Naferutali, and then whispered: "Then you watch first, and I will leave That's it." "Oh, go get busy, ha ha." Marshal Sengoku smiled at Gion.

After Gion left, Marshal Sengoku just finished reading the special issue, and then he said with some emotion: "The Naferutali family is finished, and Alabasta is also finished..."

"That's right... the millennium royal family has finally come to an end." Karp also murmured with emotion. .

Chapter 370 Albana fell, and everyone under the king Shichibukai appeared!

In the Oasis Hotel, Diarmuid was eating something, and said in a somewhat helpless tone: "It seems that the supplies in the city are already in short supply?"

"To be precise, there are very few supplies in the market. Most people are hoarding them to deal with the threat of war." Tina glanced at Diarmuid and said.

A few days ago, they could still eat delicious food and drink spicy food. Although the price of goods has skyrocketed, Diarmuid is obviously not short of the money.
