Chapter 272: The War Begins, the Confused Navy
Flames surged up and took shape on the huge blade.
The domineering aura covered the flames like red thunder, and finally formed a flaming dragon head.
Amulet. Fire Dragon King!
"boom!!"
A violent roar exploded in the sky outside Marinford Bay.
The flame beam of Izuma Tenma transformed by Maz-sei was shattered, and the two people who were able to fly looked at each other in mid-air.
"It really is like a monster! Terrible power..."
On the defense wall outside the bay, Borsalino smacked his lips and said, "The Beast Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, and one of the highest-ranking officers and bigwigs, are terribly strong..."
Zhan Guo, who was standing by, did not think that Borsalino was exaggerating this time.
On the contrary, knowing some secrets of this world, he was able to better understand what the power that had just erupted represented.
According to legend, long before the establishment of the World Government, a race named God once lived on the Red Earth Continent.
The Lunalia tribe.
The wings behind them allow them to fly high in the sky, and the flames behind them are the so-called power of God.
When the flames burn, the defense of its body is increased to a terrifying level, making it impossible for the enemy's attacks to even break through the defense.
When the flames go out, its speed will be beyond common sense. Coupled with the ability to fly, it will be as fast as lightning, making it difficult for even the domineering spirit to capture it.
"Flame Disaster Jin? Isn't that man a leader of the Beasts Pirates? How come…"
Dole looked puzzled.
Crane at the side bowed his head and closed his eyes: "The Beast Pirates, one of the Four Emperors of the New World, is itself one of the forces of the Revolutionary Army. Now, I think you should take a look at the projection given by the Revolutionary Army."
Although he was reminded of this, Dor, whose family members were not on the evacuation ship, was still attracted by the battle in the air and was even more shocked by what Vice Admiral He had just said.
The Beast Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, is actually one of the forces of the Revolutionary Army?
and many more!
Dor looked at Marshal Zhan Guo who had just yelled into the communicator.
What about the Navy...
Does Marshal Sengoku's words just now mean that the navy has also been incorporated into the revolutionary army?
Dole is not the only one who has such doubts.
All the backbone naval forces on the defense wall outside the bay were dumbfounded at this moment.
On the projection, the real revolutionary army has also appeared.
Ivankov, the captain of the Grand Line Army, as well as the captains and team members of the Revolutionary Army, appeared, forming a sharp contrast with the World Government agents who wanted to kill their relatives.
Twelve refuge ships were protected in the center. The revolutionary army repelled the attacking agents time and time again, and the high-end combat forces fought for their lives.
"Woooooooo..."
A lieutenant colonel from the Navy Headquarters couldn't help sobbing: "Thank you... Thank you..."
The long sword in his hand also fell to the ground at this moment.
For a moment, every sailor whose relatives were on the refugee ship could hardly hide their shame.
"They are obviously enemies...but they are trying to protect them...why?"
"Revolutionary Army, you guys are such assholes... How can I... How can I draw my sword against you?"
"So what exactly is justice?"
"Before the butcher's knife fell on our heads, we all thought it was impossible, so we turned a blind eye to the massacre."
"If I stand by and watch today, when disaster strikes me in the future, no one will stand up for me."
"This is not true justice... absolutely not!"
"Our justice... definitely does not exist to protect the rights of the Celestial Dragons!"
"So this is the truth? Is this the truth behind their recent isolation of Marineford communications?"
"If it weren't for the Revolutionary Army, would we still be kept in the dark by these people?"
"They have no intention of leaving us alive! The truth will come to light sooner or later. They want to destroy the navy as well!"
……
Amidst the roar, a huge figure leaped down from the platform.
In an instant, Saint Wochuli had transformed into the form of Fengxi, charging forward with his huge body and fangs.
"Roar!!"
Feng Xi's roar resounded throughout Marinford. Under his domineering aura, some agents who were already physically unable to keep up fainted on the ground.
"Big wild boar, are you in heat? How many times can an old immortal like you jump around?"
On the deck of the Revolutionary Army's ship, Kaido jumped down carrying a thorny iron rod.
Thunder. Gossip!
The domineering aura of the king turned into red thunder and wrapped around the iron rod. He clenched his hands tightly and smashed it down like a lightning device.
"Roar!"
"boom!!!"
Feng Xi roared and struck down with the thorny iron rod.
"Oh!"
The huge impact caused half of Kaido's body to be shattered by the recoil force, but the next moment his entire body turned into ashes and reassembled.
"Captain of the Revolutionary Army's New World Division 1: Kaido. Report!"
The huge body of Saint Vorchuli looked down at Kaido, who had already recovered his body.
"The trait of immortality? But you, whose soul resides in the body but whose body cannot keep up with the power, have lost the qualification."
Kaido showed disdain: "What qualifications are meaningful? I just want to... beat you up here, or be beaten up by you, you old immortal fellow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he clenched his arm, which was in protection, and swung the thorny iron rod again.
……
It was also at this time that the revolutionary army's projection broadcast continued.
The joining of the revolutionary army gradually reversed the originally one-sided situation.
However, the strategic goals of the protectors and attackers are completely opposite. In order to protect the twelve refuge ships in the warship center, the revolutionary army began to weaken in the face of the repeated attacks by the agents.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it..."
"Don't these bastards have any bottom line at all?"
"In this sea, even pirates have their own bottom line! How could they..."
……
Yes, even if you are a pirate, you are strictly prohibited from attacking your companions' families.
The same is true for vicious groups like BiGMOM and the Beasts Pirates.
But even so, the world government, which represents justice in this world, did such a thing.
They couldn't understand or accept it.
Among the many navy soldiers, nearly half of them did not look at the projection, but only stared at the two battlefields that had already broken out.
Although some of their family members were on the refugee ship, they believed in their family and in the future that their husband talked about.
……
On the high platform in the bay, Pit Saint said in a deep voice: "Let the Seven Warlords take action. Sengoku's mind has changed."
Nasujuro Seiji dialed the communicator: "Now, it's your turn."
Then, three figures appeared on the ice at the outermost edge of the bay.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea, Hawkeye Mihawk, the Pirate Queen Hancock, and one of the new Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Lizard King Hanafza.
"Om..."
A breeze blew by, and Mihawk raised his hand to take out the black knife behind him, and his domineering aura swept up around the long knife.
Mihawk's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was enjoying himself at this moment, giving it his all.
"Shh!"
A huge slash flew into the air, and for a moment the entire ice layer was cut by the sharp aftermath and headed towards the revolutionary army's ships.
"How can I allow you to destroy the truth?"
The giant Jasmine jumped up from the boat, swung the steel fork, and blocked the slash with the armed color domineering aura.
"Captain of the Revolutionary Army's Western Army, Jasmine, report in!"
Mihawk held the black sword in his hand and swung it again as he moved forward.
The slash swept across the sky.
Jasmine thrust the steel fork into the ice and then stabbed it violently.
"Boom boom boom..."
The ice exploded, but all the attacks were blocked by the huge layer of ice.
"I want to challenge someone who uses a knife, but you are obviously not one."
Mihawk's eyes showed dissatisfaction, "I came here just to challenge you. Whether it's the cloaked man or anyone else who uses a knife."
"What a stinky guy."
The voice rang out, and Hancock kicked over: "Stupid man, don't block my way!"
Mihawk, who was nearly kicked, was stunned: "Boya Hancock, your position is somewhat questionable."
Hanafza stepped forward holding the sickle: "Our position has never been the world government. We are here only for profit."
"And now, the benefits make me feel that I can swing the knife."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."
Black crows filled the sky, and a man in a black feathered robe jumped down from the deck: "Ambition will eventually be devoured by its own ambition."
Karas, commander of the Northern Army of the Revolutionary Army, appears.
……
The war in Marinford seemed to have gone off track from the very beginning.
The original purpose of the World Government was to encircle and kill the Revolutionary Army's manpower, so it would be better if the Cloaked Man could be left here.
But after the Revolutionary Army began broadcasting the projection of the attack on the Navy refugee ship four days ago, the development of the incident exceeded expectations.
On the World Government side, two of the four Five Elders were dispatched, along with the Seven Warlords of the Sea, with the goal of destroying the projection of the Revolutionary Army and preventing the Navy from seeing the whole truth.
On a high platform in Marinford Bay.
Peter Saint picked up the communicator: "Supreme order: interrupt the revolutionary army's projection and attack the enemy ships."
As soon as he finished speaking, figures were seen jumping down from the defensive wall surrounding the bay. Gas was erupting from under each figure's feet, and black cloaks were covering their bodies.
"boom!"
At the sound of a gunshot, a squad leader of the revolutionary army was stunned.
The sniper bullet covered with armed color domineering was actually blocked by the cloak?
"boom!"
The shock wave formed by the hand cannon hit, and the clone in black combat uniform disappeared instantly.
"Disappeared? No, it's invisible. Here it comes!"
The sniper rifle let go and the hand cannon pulled the trigger sideways.
"boom!"
The clone dressed in black was knocked away.
But under the exoskeleton armor, the opponent reached out and patted the twisted neck a few times, and then straightened it.
"kill!"
With no emotion in his eyes, the opponent attacked again.
And this was just a small part of the clone army's attack. After Pitt Saint gave the order to attack, hundreds of clones rushed towards the Revolutionary Army's ships.
A captain swung his sword, combining his observation Haki and armament Haki, and the blade wrapped in Haki cut through the flames of the red clone.
"In the past, the North Sea legend said that Germa 66 was powerful, so the Germa technology was obtained by the World Government." He swung the sword and flipped it, and an invisible black clone was knocked away by the sword, with most of his neck broken.
"But without the domineering spirit, what are you worth?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he found that dozens of clones in the sky were already heading towards the projector.
"These bastards! They actually know tactics?"
Yes, the clone army executed the tactics in their minds when they attacked, with some people attacking by force to attract attention and then fighting on the ice.
The remaining force is used to impact the ship where the projector is located.
They have no emotions and therefore are not afraid of life or death. As long as one of them can destroy the projector... they will succeed.
"Kakaka..."
A breath of ice gushed out from the muzzle, extinguishing the spark-red clone's flames.
Lindbergh jumped up with the jet equipment on his back and adjusted the controller with one hand.
"retreat!"
The air was suddenly compressed and then vibrated out, and the shock wave knocked back all the clones.
"The Doctor's weapons are still powerful."
Lindbergh, commander of the Confederate Army of the Revolutionary Army, is here.
……
"Bang bang bang..."
The air was trampled, and with a loud noise, a senior CP0 agent came rushing over at moon steps.
"No one can resist the World Government, you bunch of rebels!"
Compression. Finger gun.
"boom!"
The finger gun was blocked by a flag. There were sparks scattered on the bright red flag, which fluttered in the wind as if they were going to be scattered all over the world.
Belo Beti, wearing sunglasses and holding a cigarette in his mouth, said: "Once you get used to being a dog, you can no longer be a human being, right?"
"boom!"
The flags collided with each other, and for a moment both men fell on the ice, the projections continuing.
……
On the defensive wall outside the bay of Marinford, the Warring States, who were at the highest level, kept their heads down, as if waiting for something.
Since the beginning of the war, when the Revolutionary Army's ships approached Marinford, the Navy had not taken any action.
After he hung up the communication with the Five Elders, the Revolutionary Army did not ask them to take action immediately.
Like Kevin said, the Navy will not join the Revolutionary Army, the choice is up to them.
And now, Zhan Guo has also given this choice to the middle-level officers of the navy.
The projection of the Revolutionary Army was now nearing its end, and most of the navy soldiers on the defensive wall had laid down their weapons.
Lieutenant General Gumir of the G2 branch knelt on the ground at this moment, with his weapons, two long swords, placed beside him.
The elderly lieutenant general of the headquarters lowered his head, his closed eyes filled with tears.
Yes, his granddaughter was on the evacuated refugee ship.
And if it wasn't the Revolutionary Army, as a veteran of the Navy for decades, he could already guess what his granddaughter's fate would be.
Stoloberry, who was standing beside him, frowned: "So what is the position of our navy next? The benefactor is the Revolutionary Army, but the one who killed our relatives is the World Government."
"At this time, if we order them to attack the World Government, I'm afraid it will cause riots immediately."
Lieutenant General Gumier opened his eyes and stood up. "Our position has always been justice, and if the World Government can no longer represent justice, then their orders will no longer be useful."
As he said this, he raised two knives and headed straight for the center outside the bay.
He wanted to ask Sengoku and that old guy Garp: How long can you endure?
……
"boom!!"
With a huge roar, Kaido's iron rod flew up directly, and the whole person was turned into confetti by the recoil force.
But even while still in mid-air, the scraps of paper gathered into shape, and Kaido once again rushed towards Fengxi, who was transformed by the Saint Vorchuli.
"Your body is too fragile!"
"Even if you can't kill him, what can you do?"
Fengxi's hardest teeth collided with Kaido.
After several times, the two got closer and closer to the revolutionary army's ship.
……
At the same time, the two people who were fighting fiercely in the sky also landed at the same time.
Izuna Tenma, who was transformed by Maz, looked at Jin: "Lunaria tribe... How dare someone like you show up here? And even a member of the Revolutionary Army?"
There was a flame burning behind Jin: "Isn't it because of you that I am here?"
Maz Saint: "Even the Lunaria tribe, which was once called God, failed in the past history. And the price of failure is erasure."
Jin's eyes were gloomy: "No one can wantonly decide the fate of others. Similarly, there is no God in this world!"
In the past, he was imprisoned as the last of the Lunaria tribe and used as a test subject in the World Government's research institute.
At that time, it was Kaido who saved him and gave him a second life. He also worked hard to make Kaido the king as his dream.
Later, the revolutionary army gave him a new soul and thought: to fight for the liberation of the world all his life.
It was for this reason that, with his firm will and his vision for the future, he awakened the domineering aura in his body.
"boom!"
The giant blade covered in flames cut off the opponent's beam of light, and the flames behind Jhin also went out at this moment.
With the extreme speed, the blades collided with each other.
"Just the information about the Lunaria tribe can earn you a bounty of 100 million Baileys."
“We just want to survive!”
"Even if we are as lowly as ants, we still want to live, you bastard!"
The long sword collided with the sharp claws, and the beam of light fell but was quickly avoided by the opponent.
"The teacher said that there is no distinction between noble and humble lives!"
"Sir, you said that no one is bound by fate since birth!"
"There is no God in this world! If there is, then we will revolt! Overthrow God into the dust with our own hands!"
Amulet. Fire Dragon King!
The flames rushed towards the huge Izuna Tenma like a dragon, and the domineering aura of red thunder filled the body of the fire dragon.
At this moment, Jin recalled a scene from long, long ago.
They are the Lunaria tribe, and even with masks, they cannot hide the wings and flames behind them.
Being still young, he and his sister became the most valuable people, so they suffered countless betrayals.
Reporting the clues would earn 100 million Beli. If one arrested the person personally and handed him over to the World Government, the reward would be even greater.
With such benefits, few people can refuse.
So...in the end they were arrested by the World Government.
And his only relative also died in that research institute.
Since birth, fate and race have fallen on his shoulders, but life should not be determined by a surname!
"die!!"
In a rage, the fire dragon formed by the slash shattered Izuma Tenma's beam and directly hit Mazsheng's head.
"boom!!"
After a huge roar, Saint Maz was still high in the sky, half of his face had melted away, but he was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Death is the only choice for the Lunalia people. This is determined by history. No one can resist fate."
"You have no chance of winning against fate."
As soon as he finished speaking, taking advantage of Jhin's chaotic breath, Saint Maz spoke, and the light beams gathered into shape again.
"Om..."
"boom!"
A man whose body seemed as red as diamond fell down and blocked Jin behind him.
The huge impact pressed Joz to the bow of the ship, and the ice under his feet was shattered.
“Hahaha… the Five Elders are no more than this!”
As soon as the proud Joz said this, his observation Haki detected the serious situation.
"boom!!!"
A foot kicked him away. It was a CP0 agent.
……
Time passed minute by minute, and finally the projection broadcast of the revolutionary army came to an end.
On the high platform in the bay, Peter Saint said in a deep voice: "There is no way to stop it."
Nasujuro Sei, who was holding the First Generation Kitetsu in his arms, said: "This projection determines the combat power of the navy. Now they already know what happened."
Peter Saint nodded: "Then... let's start according to the original plan and withdraw everyone!"
Yes, the original plan would not have led to the current situation at the beginning of the war.
"The Navy has deteriorated."
"Including Zhan Guo, the answers just now have already proved that he is wavering."
"For the justice of the World Government, some sacrifices are necessary. But they are just bugs, and new ones will appear soon after they die."
"If the war continues outside the bay, there will be variables. The revolutionary army's ships are located in the area where the blockade space is located."
"Here, if the Navy's position changes, then purge them right here!"
……
Soon, the Revolutionary Army used the building of Marinford as a backdrop to reveal the entire process of the attack on the Navy's family refugee ship.
And soon after, all the clones and Maz-san and the others left the battlefield and retreated, with Mihawk and the others following closely behind.
Saint Vouchuri returned to the high platform and looked at Sengoku and other high-ranking naval officers on the defensive wall outside the bay.
He knew very well that the navy's next position would be decided by this marshal.
However, at this moment, Zhan Guo still kept his head down, with no intention of speaking.
For a moment, this huge war had just begun, but it stopped strangely.
Staring at the navy, Saint Vouchuri said, "The Diamond Fruit user just now was one of the executives of the Whitebeard Pirates."
Maz, who had also regained his human form, nodded: "If that's the case, then the Whitebeard Pirates must be among the Revolutionary Army. The two Four Emperors..."
……
On the defensive wall outside Marinford Bay, the sailors looked at the battlefield blankly.
Now, even they themselves can no longer understand their own position.
Outside the bay is the Revolutionary Army, and inside the bay is the World Government.
"Why...are we here?"
"Should we attack the Revolutionary Army? I can't do it!"
"They saved my wife and children. Even though there were casualties, no one retreated..."
"Why is this happening?"
"The justice of the World Government...is not real justice!"
……
On top of the defensive wall, Belo Beti waved the flag.
"We...are human!"
……
