Chapter 214: The Participation of the Revolutionary Army
The first battle of Chambord shocked the world.
The news of the public execution has been announced, and the dragon slayer Marshall J. D. Teach's legend also spread throughout the sea with overwhelming newspapers.
With another dragon slayer, the Golden Lion, disappearing, Tiqi, who is behind bars and about to be put on the court, has become the focus of the world's attention.
The Whitebeard Pirates, the flagship Moby Dick.
"Intelligence shows that the Navy has issued an emergency summoning order to the generals of the headquarters who are on duty abroad."
"And the only G5 branch of the Navy set up in the New World has also entered a defensive posture in an all-round way a few days ago."
"In addition, His Majesty Qiwu Haiduo Flamingo also left Dressrosa not long ago, on the warship of the Navy Headquarters."
The captain of the team, "Immortal Bird" Marco, read out this information in front of Whitebeard and the captains with a solemn expression, and came to a conclusion that was no longer a secret on the sea:
"The Navy Headquarters is preparing for a war..."
"War with our Whitebeard Pirates!"
The atmosphere was solemn, and the surrounding was so quiet that only the sound of the sea breeze blowing.
Each captain cast a worried look at Whitebeard, who was sitting in the main seat:
The world's strongest man is in his late teens this year, with criss-crossing scars between his knotted muscles and pinholes left by intravenous fluids on his thick arms.
He's still strong, but he's not what it used to be.
All the captains knew in their hearts that an all-out war with the navy would most likely be the end of their legendary life of Whitebeard's father.
Whitebeard understood the hidden worry in the eyes of the dozen or so "sons", and at the same time he was angry in his heart, but he was slightly moved.
But none of these emotions were shown on his face, but a burst of relieved, excited, and warlike laughter resounded on the deck:
"Hahahaha!"
"A war? That's just great! ”
There was a domineering spirit in his voice that belonged to the strongest man in the world, which moved the captains who had always relied on and trusted him.
Whitebeard clenched his fists and said in a deep voice:
"Since the Navy wants to use Tichy to give us a war letter, then what are we going to do..."
"It's just to get Titch out of the Navy!"
"yes!"
The captains were encouraged to be high-spirited, and they all echoed in unison:
"With Daddy Whitebeard, what is there to fear from those navies?"
"Let's step on the Navy Headquarters and bring back the Titch brothers intact!"
"But..."
Marco was still a little worried.
While he is the captain of the Ichiban team, he also serves as the chief ship doctor of the Whitebeard Pirates with the healing effect of the fruit's ability.
Therefore, Marco is very aware of Whitebeard's poor physical condition, and his worries are even greater than those of the other captains.
"Nothing!"
Whitebeard interrupted Marco angrily, acting like a stubborn old man:
"Tichy, he's my son!"
"Kill the Draconians and fight against the three major generals..."
"Tichy can do such an earth-shattering thing without fear, don't I, as a father, dare come forward to clean up the mess for him?"
"Alas... All right. ”
Marko nodded in agreement a little helplessly, and the worry in his eyes was gradually replaced by a determined fighting spirit.
Like the other "sons", as long as Daddy Whitebeard makes a decision, even if it is Knife Mountain Fire Sea Marko, he will go back and make a move.
"So..."
Whitebeard suddenly stood up from his seat, and his seven-meter-tall burly body exuded a terrifying momentum:
"Pass my orders!"
"Gather the seventeen teams of the whole regiment and the forty-three affiliated pirate groups under your command, and do a good job of attacking..."
"Wait!"
"Listen to me!"
But a discordant voice suddenly sounded from a distance, interrupting Whitebeard's orders.
The voice was unfamiliar, not any of the captains on the ship.
"Who is it?"
The crowd followed the prestige and glared angrily at him.
But at this glance, they saw a person they were very familiar with: "Ace? ”
And it wasn't Ace who spoke, but a blonde young man wearing a top hat next to Ace.
"Hahaha..."
Ace laughed embarrassedly twice, and quietly blocked the hostile gaze of the captains for the blonde young man beside him.
After the captains' eyes changed from hostility to curiosity, Ace introduced to the captains and Whitebeard:
"This is my brother, Saab."
"He said on the phone that he wanted to see his dad on important matters, so I brought him over on my own initiative."
"Saab?"
The captains' eyes suddenly became much warmer and kinder:
"That's what Brother Ace has been mentioning, the Sabo who is no different from your own brother?"
"Oh?"
Whitebeard's gaze softened a lot, and he greeted Sabo like a family elder:
"Since you are Ace's brother, then you can be regarded as my Whitebeard's descendant."
"Do you want to talk to me about something?"
"That's right."
Sabo, accompanied by Ace, walked all the way to Whitebeard, took off his top hat and bowed slightly to Whitebeard.
Whitebeard looked at the young man who could still maintain an indifferent expression in front of him, and couldn't help but secretly feel a little admiration for him.
"Whitebeard-senpai!"
After Sabo said hello, it was a mouth that made a lot of waves:
"I'm not actually visiting you as a friend of Ace this time, but as a senior staff officer of the Revolutionary Army to discuss important matters with you."
"Revolutionary Army?"
There was an uproar around, and some captains who knew more about the revolutionary army asked directly:
"The Revolutionary Army has rarely cooperated with pirates, and it has nothing to do with our Whitebeard Pirates."
"What are you here to discuss?"
"Cooperation."
Sabo said without changing his face:
"To save the Tiqi brothers, our revolutionary army is also willing to help."
"Oh?"
Whitebeard's eyes showed an interested look: "Why?" ”
With a confident smile on his face, Sabo explained in a flat tone:
"Brother Tiqi is the first hero in history to dare to kill the Draconians, and we in the revolutionary army have great respect for him."
Hearing Sabo's praise for his "son", Whitebeard nodded in satisfaction.
But he still did not hesitate to question:
"That's not enough reason for you to make a move, is it?"
"Yes."
Sabo nodded, and explained:
"We want to take the opportunity of rescuing the Tichy brothers to rescue Ivankov, Lightning and other revolutionary army cadres who are imprisoned in the city."
"Huh?"
The captain of the third team, "Diamond" Joz, asked with some confusion:
"But it's only our Tiqi brothers who are being executed by the navy, so how can you save the others?"
"You're right, so..."
Saab's tone remained calm:
"The strategy proposed by our revolutionary army is not to cooperate to rob the law field, but to cooperate with your white-bearded pirates to rob the Jincheng Prison."
"Now all the admirals are gathered in the naval headquarters, and the advance city is empty and has limited combat power, which is suitable for our surprise attack."
"Even if the navy accelerates its navigation with the triangular current, it will take more than an hour to march from the headquarters to the advance city."
"If we work together, more than an hour is enough to break through that impenetrable prison."
"Prison robbery?"
All the enthusiastic captains were stunned.
After seeing the navy's blatant war letter, their first thought was to fight the navy face to face.
The strategy proposed by the revolutionary army sounded much wiser and more efficient.
"This plan is not so easy to implement."
Marco shook his head and retorted:
"The Advance City is located in the windless zone, and there are countless sea kings waiting outside, so there is no way to march on a large scale."
"Nope."
Sabo replied calmly:
"We don't need to go all out."
"As long as you can storm the city in one go, the prisoners in the city will be the best army."
"All we need is a strong enough combat force, and this is the reason why our revolutionary army has come to you to seek cooperation."
"I think that's a good idea!"
Ace's eyes lit up, and he immediately echoed Sabo's words while the iron was hot:
"You don't need to send a large force to rob the prison, just a few of our captains need to help."
"Even if the prison robbery is not successful, it will not be difficult for us people to get out if we are bent on getting out, and it will not be too late to prepare for a frontal war when the time comes!"
As soon as Ace's words came out, all the captains were a little moved in their hearts.
And the biggest reason why the revolutionary army will propose this cooperation is precisely because of the existence of the bond of Ace.
Although the revolutionary army is also a "criminal" in the eyes of the world government, they usually have little interaction with the pirates, and even have a faint sense of antagonism against each other.
But Sabo and Ace's unbreakable relationship and their position in their respective forces quietly broke this invisible barrier, giving the Revolutionary Army and the Whitebeard Pirates a chance to sit down and negotiate for the common good.
"This..."
Whitebeard was a little hesitant.
As the strongest man in the world, he has always used a straight knife to solve his troubles.
The strategy of avoiding a fight and making a detour to sneak attack has never been played by Whitebeard in his life, and he doesn't bother to use it.
But Sabo can become a senior staff officer of the revolutionary army at this age, in addition to being the leader of the dragon, his own strength and wisdom are definitely worthy of this position.
He saw at a glance what Whitebeard cared about, and immediately persuaded aloud:
"Whitebeard Senpai."
"May I ask if the purpose of your attack this time is to defeat the Navy Headquarters, or is it to save people?"
"Of course it's a rescue!"
Whitebeard replied without thinking.
"Since it is to save people, of course we should choose methods with a higher success rate and less risk."
Sabo's words are very sharp, and he did not weaken his momentum because the other party is a white beard:
"Otherwise, in order to save the Tiqi brothers, wouldn't it be worth the loss to take the lives of more brothers?"
“......”
Whitebeard didn't answer, but just glanced at the many "sons" under his command with a complicated gaze:
He is the strongest man in the world, how can he be afraid to fight the Navy Headquarters head-on?
Even before the decision to go to war, Whitebeard was ready for the perfect curtain call in this war.
However, Saab is a lobbyist who captures his heart from a different angle: he values his family very much.
Thinking that his family would be damaged because of his own willfulness, Whitebeard felt a little unbearable in his heart.
"Good!"
Whitebeard pondered for a moment, and actually took the initiative to stretch out his hand to the junior Sabo:
"I'm working with the Revolutionary Army!"
Sabo tightly grasped Whitebeard's broad palm, which was several times larger, and his face was full of confident smiles: "Happy cooperation!" ”
