Chapter 373: Phantom Beast Species: Raven!
"The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake", in fact, the main reason is that in the local area, the support of the "strong dragon" far away from abroad is simply too late to help the "strong dragon" suppress the "head snake".
This sentence is very vivid to describe the world government and the naval headquarters.
As the most powerful force on this sea, the world government and navy have long wanted to eradicate the "Four Emperors", the four local snakes of the new world.
If everyone in the Navy Headquarters could "teleport" and could teleport troops around the world at any time, the Four Emperors would have been broken by the Navy one by one.
Or if the three admirals and the admiral each have the strength of the "lonely red" Balorrick Ledfield, then only two generals need to be sent to the battle, and one of the four emperors can be easily eliminated.
It's a pity that the world government and navy are just "strong dragons" in metaphors, not real strong dragons.
Sengoku wanted to use Whitebeard's opportunity to fight Carl to eliminate the forces of one of the parties, but after thinking about it, he finally left the three admirals in the naval headquarters.
Because the Four Emperors "Red-haired" Shanks and "Hundred Beasts" Kaido also acted.
If you want to completely eliminate one of the Four Emperors, you must send three "general" level combat power and countless headquarters lieutenant generals at the same time.
Sengoku didn't dare to take this risk, and the red-haired man with no ambition could say that if Kaido's madman made a surprise attack on the Navy headquarters like he did a few years ago, it would be all over.
After thinking about it, the Warring States only sent a few relatively powerful lieutenant generals in the end, including "Zhiduoxing" Kong Ming, "Tea Dolphin" Shi Jiaji, "Peach Rabbit" Gion, "Flying Tiger" Caro, "Flying Squirrel", "Ghost Spider", and Fire Mountain.
Among them, the tea dolphin and the peach rabbit already have the strength close to the general of the headquarters, and Lieutenant General Kong Ming is known as the "Zhiduoxing" who is most likely to take over the title of "wise general" of the Warring States.
When Whitebeard and Carl are seriously injured, even if they can't eliminate one of them, they can still severely damage the forces of those pirates.
"The red-haired pirates have met with the Beast Pirates? Kong Ming, are you sure there is nothing wrong with the message? ”
Warring States, who had just received information from Lieutenant General Kong Ming, looked strange.
What the hell have these Four Emperors been up to lately?
The youngest Carl went to challenge Whitebeard, the "strongest man in the world", so the slightly older redhead went to challenge the "beast" Kai Duo who couldn't be killed?
"There is absolutely no problem with the intelligence, it's just that the reason for their meeting has not yet been investigated."
Lieutenant Kong Ming will continue to report the situation to the Warring States: "And the redhead and Kaido didn't go head-to-head, it didn't take long for them to meet, and it turned into a big melee between the two sides, and our intelligence officers had no way to get close to them." ”
"Continue to keep an eye on their follow-up, Kong Ming, I will give you the highest right to act cheaply, and if necessary, you can requisition Shijiaji and Gion."
"Understood."
Sengoku hung up the phone and strolled around his office.
He thought about it for a while, although he didn't know why the red-haired man would provoke Kaido, but as long as a war broke out between pirates, it would be a good thing for the navy.
Thinking of this, Sengoku sat back in his place and dialed the phone numbers of the tea dolphin and the peach rabbit.
……
Warring States and Kong Ming are both generals with outstanding wisdom in the naval headquarters, but the navy's eyeliner in the new world is too little, and the navy does not move CP0 at all.
So when Sengoku and Kong Ming were still worried about the information, Robin had already put the reason for the war between the red-haired pirates and the Hundred Beast Pirates in front of Carl.
After reading Robin's information, Carl laughed to himself: "Red-haired guy...... I really like to be nosy, and I took the initiative to stop Kaido for me, it seems that I owe him a favor this time! ”
Although Carl had already guessed that Kaido might take revenge on himself for the "drought" Jack, and had already made arrangements for the duel with Whitebeard.
But after all, Carl is injured now, if Kaido really has to mess around with the nations, even if Callert can finally repel the Beast Pirates with the home advantage, he will definitely make the nations a mess.
What the redhead did this time, although not essential, did Carl a great favor.
"Then we just need to focus on the navy."
Carl took the peeled apple from Robin's hand and took a bite: "Tell Qiluno that there are no worries at home, and she can start acting on her side, as for the Hundred Beast Pirates...... The next step is to keep you under constant scrutiny, thank you, Robin. ”
Robin smiled: "It's not hard, what I do now is much easier than before." ”
Although Robin used to be in the dark world of the West Sea, those mafias were far less powerful and terrifying than the Four Emperors.
But now Robin is not the little girl she used to be, she is not only much calmer, but also has Callert as a solid backing, and in terms of scheming, the Four Emperors are even inferior to the mafia in the West Sea, which makes Robin's work more and more handy.
……
In the New World, three naval warships are slowly sailing on the sea.
Two of the warships were Vice Admiral "Flying Squirrel" and "Ghost Spider" of the Navy Headquarters.
On the third warship, there were two lieutenant generals, "Tea Dolphin" and "Peach Rabbit".
Just like Karp, who used to lie on Crane's ship, Cha Dolphin, who was supposed to lead a warship alone, also relied on Peach Rabbit's warship and never left.
Lieutenant General Kong Ming did not sail with everyone because he wanted to investigate the intelligence of the red-haired pirates and the Hundred Beast Pirates.
As for Carlo and Burning Mountain, they were on their way to the sky.
Because there was no satellite positioning system, several lieutenant generals decided to go to the G5 branch to meet first, and then decide the next action according to Lieutenant General Kong Ming's strategy.
Five warships and seven vice admirals of the Navy Headquarters, this scale has surpassed the "Demon Slaying Order".
Although there are five fewer warships, there are two more lieutenant generals, and the real value of the demon slaying order is the vice admiral of the headquarters brought by those ten warships!
In order to avoid being noticed by the pirates in advance of the large-scale movement of the navy, the tea dolphin and his party were cautious when sailing, and if they encountered a pirate ship, they would not even be captured, but directly chose to sink it on the spot.
"Lieutenant General Shi Jiaji, you are such a big person, and you are always lying on our warship, don't you know how to be shy?"
On the warship led by Peach Rabbit, a female navy laughed and made a joke about the tea dolphin.
Cha Dolphin is the most approachable vice admiral in the Navy Headquarters, and he does not have the aura of a "naval hero" like Vice Admiral Karp, which makes him have an excellent impression in the minds of lower-ranking officers and soldiers and the public.
In peacetime, even the navy, which is less than a vice admiral, dares to joke with the tea dolphin often.
The tea dolphin smiled, and he didn't mind, but he was like an amiable uncle next door, telling jokes with other navies.
"Strange, why are there crows on the sea?"
Squinting, the tea dolphin looked up at a large black bird that landed on the top of the warship's mast.
The big black bird hadn't made a single chirp from beginning to end, but the tea dolphin was 100% sure that it was definitely a crow.
Don't look at the tea dolphin looking cynical, in fact, he has a lot of knowledge about life.
Crows, as forest and steppe birds, mainly inhabit various forest types such as low mountains, plains and mountain broad-leaved forests, mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests, coniferous forests, secondary mixed forests, and plantations, especially in sparse forests and forest edge areas.
Omnivores that eat grains, berries, insects, carrion and eggs of other birds, and especially carrion.
Under normal circumstances, there are absolutely no crows on the sea.
The tea dolphin stepped on the moon step and flew towards the mast of the warship, but as soon as he left, the crow fluttered its wings and flew away from the warship.
"Don't be a scout bird raised by the enemy, right?"
The tea dolphin's expression became serious.
Ignoring the calls of the other navies on deck, he continued to follow the fleeing crow with his moon steps.
But to the surprise of the tea dolphin, the crow's flight speed was getting faster and faster, and even his moon steps couldn't catch up!
In the end, the tea dolphin had no choice but to helplessly watch the crow, whose whole body was pitch black and couldn't even see its eyes, flew into the clouds high in the sky and disappeared.
"What's going on?"
After the tea dolphin returned to the warship, Peach Rabbit's expression became serious.
After working with the tea dolphin for so many years, Peach Rabbit knows very well that whenever the tea dolphin shows this expression, it means that something terrible is about to happen.
"Gion, we have to change course, there is a good chance that an unknown enemy is ambushing us ahead!"
Peach Rabbit didn't ask some "Why?" She knows very well that for this old comrade-in-arms who she has worked with for many years, she only needs to choose unconditional trust.
As for the reason, he will naturally explain it when it is time to explain.
The tea dolphin only left a sentence and flew towards the other two warships with a moon step.
Flying squirrels are also relatively easy to talk.
But with the ghost spider, he hit a wall.
"Shi Jiaji, you look down on yourself too much, now that the four of us are gathered together, is there anything to worry about? Didn't Kong Ming already say that the two Four Emperors were injured and the two Four Emperors were fighting, so what exactly are you afraid of? Afraid of some unruly little pirates? ”
Ghost Spider is not only a hawkish general in the navy, but also a vice admiral with a fierce expression and a cruel personality, even if he will hurt his subordinates when performing tasks, he does not care at all.
For the dovish representative "tea dolphin", the ghost spider has never hidden his disgust, both in his heart and on the surface.
But the tea dolphin is notoriously good-tempered, even in the face of the ghost spider who shook his face, he still patiently continued to persuade the ghost spider to evacuate.
"What if it's an ambush by the revolutionary army?"
"Revolutionary Army? Hahahaha...... Just that bunch of garbage? If they really have the ability, they don't have to hide everywhere, how good is it to just hit the door?
I suspect they don't even have the strength of the Four Emperors!
It's not that I'm blowing to you, I was already talking and laughing with their boss Dalager before you joined the Navy! ”
“……”
And above the sea in the distance of these three warships, a pirate ship is speeding forward.
But strangely, even though it was in sight, no one on the three warships still spotted the pirate ship.
Because of the cover of the "color fruit", from the outside, the pirate ship simply "does not exist"!
On the deck of the pirate ship, a tall man with a large bald head wearing a black winged cloak and a crow's beak mask was standing.
It was the commander of the "Northern Army" of the Revolutionary Army, the "Crow" Karasu!
Karasu suddenly muttered a string of bird words that no one understood, and the red-haired young woman beside her reminded, "Mr. Karasu, you forgot to turn on the switch on your megaphone." ”
"Ah...... I forgot! ”
Karasu, who turned on the megaphone, finally said something that others could hear: "Thank you...... Miss Cirno. ”
Kiruno looked at the tall figure flying out of the ship and asked Karasu beside him, "What kind of devil fruit is Mr. Dorag?" ”
“……”
Karasu did not speak.
"Nature's Wind Fruit?"
“……”
"Superhuman Weather Fruit?"
“……”
"Animal Phantom Beast Species Green Dragon Fruit?"
“…… He wouldn't let him say. ”
Qiluno smiled: "What about you?" Mr. Karasu, I see that you can turn your body into countless crows like the nature department, if I guess correctly, you should be the devil fruit of the animal type phantom beast species, right? ”
"I'm an animal-crow fruit-phantom beast-raven form."
Karasu turned to look at Kiruno, his forehead was bruised, his eyes were cold, and he looked as if he was about to cut people, and those who were not familiar with him could be frightened by this expression alone: "Just like you, they are all phantom beasts." ”
"Raven, ......"
Cirno muttered the name, and turned her gaze back in Dorag's direction.
In the sky above the three naval warships, the weather that was originally clear and clear had now turned into a dark cloud on the eve of a storm.
"Oh no, it may be too late!"
When the tea dolphin saw the suddenly changed ghost weather, he who had always had an excellent temper also secretly scolded the ghost spider in his heart.
The ghost spider who was still mocking the revolutionary army just now also changed his face suddenly, according to the information available to the navy, it seems that Dorag's bastard did have some kind of ability to change the weather after leaving the navy.
After a burst of thunder that resounded through the world, the heavy rain poured down as if it didn't need money, and the lightning that followed directly cut the warship from the middle, and then the storm like a "silent super thunderstorm" did not even leave the navy with a chance to rescue it.
Dorag had the opportunity to sneak up on the four elite Vice Admirals of the Admiralty, naturally thanks to the information he received from Carl.
And Carl had just finished listening to the report from Qiluno on the phone.
He grinned and looked out the window at the clear sky: "It's actually quite a good feeling to strategize!" ”
