Chapter 18: Kaido Descends
Immediately after the conclusion of the naval meeting, the navy began another strategic adjustment, and Odin arrived directly from the naval headquarters in the first half of the Great Voyage to the G5 Division in the New World through the passage of the Holy Land Mary Joy! Here, Odin began to order the New World's navy to begin to assemble, and at the same time began to command the small bases in the New World to begin to abandon and withdraw personnel and supplies to several large bases decided at the meeting. And the elite who were drawn came to the G5 branch with the lieutenant who returned from the New World.
New World Leyte Island, although this small island is small, it is particularly prosperous because it is located on the main shipping route. But at the moment, the whole island is full of anxiety and restlessness.
"Dazuo, are we really just leaving? There are a lot of civilians here! What if we leave and the pirates attack? A Shao Zuo looked at Da Zuo in front of him and said anxiously.
"I don't want to go, but it's Admiral Odin's order! Cancel all bases with less than 1,000 people! After all, it's too close to Kaido and Whitebeard's territory! Once the two of them start to exert their strength outward, we will have no way to live! But you don't have to worry, this place is relatively close to Whitebeard, and it may be taken over by Whitebeard. Relatively speaking, it's still much better than being occupied by that guy named Kaido! After all, Whitebeard won't kill indiscriminately! Da Zuo said in a deep voice.
"Is there really no way?" Shao Zuo said.
"Would you, a general of Odin, be willing? There is no way around it! I heard that it was because there were too many lieutenant generals stationed in the New World, so many naval bases in the first half of the Four Seas and the Great Voyage were attacked by those pirates! Although our navy tried to suppress it, after all, there were still too few, and there were no masters. So this time Admiral Odin came to the New World to suppress those pirates again, but we need to withdraw our fists first. Only when you fight it again can you have power! And this time it's not some small characters that you're facing, but a real powerhouse! We will be back! You can rest assured! Dazuo said comfortingly.
In fact, Dazuo knew in his heart, how could he come back so quickly, there was already an order from the headquarters, this time it will be a long-term war, whether it is the navy or pirates, there will be many deaths! After all, the current world has become irritable because of Roger's words, and many people have become demons for the so-called ethereal One Piece. The current world is not what it used to be, and it is time for the new world to be suppressed by General Odin alone, although there are many strong people at that time, everyone still abides by the basic rules and will not endanger the safety of civilians too much.
But these pirates in the era of sea pirates opened by Roger are all some who went to sea for the so-called treasure, where did they not rob the treasure? If pirates used to be called pirates, now they are a bunch of pirates! "That's right, it's a bunch of pirates! The order from Admiral Odin is also very clear, if you meet those who go out to sea for the so-called ideal to explore, you can catch it, and if you can't, you will retreat. After catching the island, send it to the Deep Sea Prison to advance to the city! Although they are not necessarily evil, they are also very harmful to the navy, so they need to be imprisoned. But it is not forced to be eliminated, and the pirates who have done a lot of evil have been dealt with. When encountered, we must resolutely exterminate them, and we must not let them continue to endanger those ordinary people! Dazuo said firmly.
What happened on Leyte took place in the second half of the New World, at a lot of naval bases. Although the navy pushed away, there were also many ordinary people who followed the navy and retreated to areas that the navy could control! Settle down here again!
In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and the great retreat of the Navy was basically completed, and the Navy redeployed its defenses in the New World. And the islands that the navy retreated from were quickly occupied by pirates. Among them, Whitebeard occupied those islands centered on Mora, and Kaido also began to occupy the islands.
Both of them belonged to the kind of large pirate group, and they were strong, and after the initial chaos of taking over the islands, many of the islands were also settled. Although there is occasional confusion, it is also within the acceptable range.
But those places where Whitebeard and Kaido didn't have time to occupy or didn't have the strength to occupy were occupied by many small and medium-sized pirate groups, and after such pirates occupied the islands, they only knew how to have fun, and didn't care about the lives of the people on the islands, and because of their lack of strength, they were often attacked by other pirate groups, which brought greater disasters to the residents of those islands!
Because many of the islands of the New World also had nations, many kingdoms' soldiers were able to protect their civilians. For example, the country of flowers, where the Eight Treasure Water Army is located, also expanded its strength when the navy retreated this time. Occupy three surrounding islands!
All in all, the New World broke out in great chaos because of the retreat of the navy! The new world's proximity to the naval base has remained stable, although there are some pirates who want to fish in troubled waters, but they are quickly discovered and exterminated by the navy!
Because of Odin in charge, no one in the new world is Odin's opponent except for Whitebeard and Kaido, so the navy quickly stabilized the security in the absolute control area, began to rectify those islands, established a strong base, and the navy also began to encircle and suppress the pirate forces in the control area!
In the first half of the New World, a large group of pirates is gathering! This is the edge of the Navy's new zone of control, and it's not far from Kaido's zone of control! These pirates gathered here, and they were all driven here by the navy, because the navy started to clear out the pirates from the G5 base, so many pirates who got the news began to run towards the depths of the new world. Eventually, they gathered on several small islands in this area.
"Tataro, your pirates have also been driven here?" A delicate-looking pirate sat on a chair and looked at a pirate opposite.
"Frey, don't be complacent, weren't you also driven here by the Navy? Don't tell me you're here on your own initiative. I've heard that you occupied a small island near Dressrosa. But I heard that I was chased away by the vice admiral of the navy's natural department! I heard that you will run away when you see that warship now! A gloomy man named Tataro said.
"Hmph, I said at the beginning, let you join forces with me, why should we be kicked out so embarrassed? If you go any further, you'll be to Kaido's territory. I heard that he was caught by the Navy before, and he was silent for many years and finally escaped from the hands of the Navy! It's not for you and me to contend with! Our place is also very close to the Navy's zone of control, if we don't figure it out sooner. It is estimated that the navy will catch up soon! I don't know what this group of navy is crazy about, why did they suddenly start such a large-scale crackdown on pirates? Frey said angrily.
"Have you heard? That guy is back from the first half of the Great Voyage! Tataro looked at the angry Frey, and although he felt a wave of joy, it quickly turned into palpitations. Suddenly whispered to Frey.
"Who's back?" Frey didn't understand Tataro's words yet, and asked blankly.
"Of course it's the Vice Admiral! I heard that he has now become an admiral! This time, the navy is so crazy to clean up the pirates, it's because of that guy's order! Tataro's gloomy expression was full of unease.
"You're talking about that Odin? Didn't he return to the Navy headquarters to become an admiral? I heard that the title is still Bai Kui? Frey also remembered the Gundam man and said in shock.
"That's the guy! But as an admiral, doesn't this guy need to sit in the naval headquarters? Why go back to the New World? Hell we need to get here! This time, I lost two ships! That's two thousand brothers! All killed by the abominable navy! Tataro said.
"I also lost the size of three ships, but my personnel are not as large as yours, and I only lost more than a thousand people, all of whom were wiped out by the vice admiral of the natural department with one move! If it weren't for the fact that I didn't run fast, I guess you wouldn't be able to see me now! Frey felt powerless when he thought of that guy! Although he is also a Devil Fruit ability, he is just an ordinary superhuman temperature fruit, and he has no power to fight back against that natural system!
"You say, should we take root in Kaido? I heard that now in addition to Whitebeard, he is the most powerful on the sea! If we can take refuge in him, maybe we won't have to fear the navy anymore! Tataro said.
"Can we do it? I heard that Kaido is very brutal! Many pirates have taken refuge in him, but many others have been killed by him! When Frey heard Tataro's words, he was also moved, but when he thought of Kaido's brutality, he also felt a tingling in his scalp.
"So what do you say we should do? There are no less than twenty pirates gathered here! I've heard that there are already pirates discussing wanting to join Kaido against the navy! If we don't find a way out first, once the navy chases us, then they can flee to Kaido's territory and get Kaido's protection. What are we going to do? Tataro said.
"But..." Just when Frey wanted to say something more. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the whole island began to shake. "What's the situation?" Tataro stood up, walked out the door and spoke to his men.
"Boss, a huge guy has landed on our island! Towards the center of the island! He fell from the sky! A minion heard his boss's question and said in shock.
"What? One is that he fell from the sky? Frey was also shocked.
"Yes, Boss Frey, that man fell straight from the sky, then stood up and walked towards us!" Of course, minions know their captain's friends. He also said respectfully.
Tataro and Frey looked at each other and thought of the legend! "Kaido!" The two said in unison.
"What now? Frey, have you figured it out? What an opportunity! If we find Him now and take refuge in Him! We won't have to worry about the guy chasing after you right away! Tataro said.
Frey thought about it for a moment, as if he had made some kind of determination. Nodding at Tataro, the two of them walked together in Kaido's direction.
