Xia Nuo nodded slightly, he was not surprised by this.

Although the Acrylic Rack has a strong control over the fruit's ability, even if it is thousands of kilometers away, it does not affect his ability to control the Cookie Soldier.

But on the battlefield, all kinds of accidents can happen, such as if the Crane stands unconscious in the war, then all the cookie soldiers may stop functioning and become statues in place.

And this will inevitably cause order turmoil in the Totland Sea, coupled with the need to guard against the prying eyes of the remaining Four Emperors, it is predictable that Kelijia will stay in the countries and not go out with the army.

"One of the three generals is missing."

Luo leaned back slightly, leaned back on the back of the chair, and said slowly: "Without the acrylic rack and his biscuit soldiers, the pressure we face on the battlefield will be much smaller." ”

"This war is less difficult than the Tundra War."

Fuji Hu supported his chin with his elbows and said in a deep voice, "But you can't take it too lightly, I still remember the last time I was in the cake, there was an old man in a chef's uniform on the other side, and his strength was not inferior to Jiang Xing." ”

"Long bread?"

Luo raised his eyebrows slightly, "I've heard of this name, it seems that the reason why BIGMOM took the road of pirates in the first place is inseparable from him, and this old man was also a member of the Rocks Pirates." ”

The moment the words fell, the entire large conference room couldn't help but be quiet for a moment.

Rocks Pirates.

This is a name that once thundered on the sea, although it gradually became less known with the passage of time and the deliberate cover-up with the world government, but it is still not unfamiliar to the pirates who can come to the new world.

Decades ago, the Locks Pirates dominated the world and were recognized as the strongest pirates at the time. D. Gibek is extremely strong, and among his crew, he is even stronger.

NOW, AMONG THE FOUR EMPERORS, WHITEBEARD, KAIDO, BIGMOM, AND SHIKI, THE GOLDEN LION, WHO WAS ONCE AS FAMOUS AS ONE PIECE ROGER, WERE ALL MEMBERS OF THE LOCKS.

"It's a tough battle after all......"

Everyone was emotional, but there was more expectation in their hearts, especially the newcomers who had just joined the command of the Tempest Fleet, led by Barto.

They didn't participate in the last battle in the tundra sea, but just listening to the old people talk about the specific battle situation was enough to make people's blood boil.

And this time, they finally realized their dream, and had the opportunity to stand behind their idols and fight head-on with the Four Emperors in the name of the wind.

…………

After the adjournment of the meeting.

Xano stopped Ivy as she was leaving, and led her to her bedroom.

"Take this."

From the drawer of the bedside table, Xia no took out a wooden box, smiled slightly, and handed it to Ivy.

"It's ......"

Ivy opened the box suspiciously, and a strange-looking fruit came into view, she was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, handed it back to Xia Nuo, and said softly:

"I don't want it."

Her tone was calm, as if the box contained just ordinary fruit that had just been bought from a street stall.

Xia Nuo raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled: "This is a natural smoke fruit, and it can be sold for at least five or six hundred million Baileys on the black market, and it is still priceless." ”

"I know."

Ivy raised her head slightly, looked up at Xia Nuo, who was a whole head taller than herself, and said softly: "That's why I can't ask for it." ”

"Gotta give a reason, right?"

"It's easy." Ivy pointed at her fingers and carefully counted them one by one to Xia Nuo, "First, my strength is very weak, even if I eat the fruit, it won't play a big role." ”

"Second, now that there are more and more people on the ship, there must be a lot of people who want fruit, right? You have to fight several Four Emperors now, and the pressure is so great, of course you should give the fruit to the strongest person, what a waste of words to give me. ”

Her beautiful little face was full of determination, as if she thought that after she explained these truths, Xia Nuo would not do such a violent thing again.

However.

What Ivy didn't expect was that after hearing these words, Xia no just shook his head and stuffed the Devil Fruit back into his hand.

"What you said is too rational."

Xia Nuo looked at Ivy with a dull face, and suddenly stretched out a hand, rubbed her hair, and showed a gentle smile:

"People are emotional creatures after all, and I am no exception, rather than using a fruit to create a strong man, I hope you can rely on it and survive in the future battlefield."

"Devil fruits, there are such things everywhere in the world, I don't lack them now, and I won't lack them in the future, but you can't, there is no second Ivy in the world."

With that, he waved his hand and strode out of the bedroom without looking back.

Leaving Ivy holding the box containing the Devil Fruit, she stood stunned and watched his back fade away.

“……”

She gritted her teeth, and the sides of her slightly hot little face quickly climbed into a faint red.

…………

Time passed quietly.

In the blink of an eye, it was half a month later.

The Tempest Fleet, which had long been gathered on the plains north of Dressrosa, finally waited for the arrival of the BIGMOM Pirates in the early morning of this day after several days of running-in.

It was a fleet of terror enough, with hundreds of cake ships sailing mightily beyond the horizon, covering the sky and the sun, and the momentum was astonishing.

At the front of the fleet, there is a huge ship "Queen Mother Singing", which is hundreds of meters high, and on the deck, a fat and tall figure can be faintly seen, standing on the bow of the ship.

"Is it finally here......

In front of the northern harbor of Dressrosa Island, Chano stood on a reef several meters high, staring faintly at the approaching fleet.

Crash......

Huge waves were constantly crashing against the reef, but the strange thing was that as soon as the waves approached Xano's side, they were dispersed by an invisible force of the wind, turning into mist and quietly disappearing.

From beginning to end, Xia Nuo, who stood on the top of the reef, was clean and spotless all over, not even a drop of water had been touched.

And behind his back.

Under the command of the Swift Wind Fleet, the entire combat power of the Nine Sea Pirates gathered silently on the vast plain, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and it was spectacular from a distance.

"Prepare for battle."

Seeing that the fleet of the BIGMOM Pirates was getting closer and closer, Xia Nuo, who was on the reef, finally spoke in a low voice.

"Yes, Captain!"

Thousands of subordinates behind him immediately roared in response, and their voices converged together, rolling like thunder, echoing far above the coast.

……

Lunar calendar, the end of November 1517.

With the BIGMOM Pirates, after spanning a long distance of thousands of kilometers, they arrived at Dressrosa and took the lead in launching an offensive brazenly.

Following the Battle of the Tundra, another War of the Four Emperors faced by the Great Wind Fleet has officially begun!
