Chapter 146: Polusalino Falls into a Trap!
General Zefa looked at the marshal of the Warring States with a sad face, and he really couldn't understand why the latter was still crying. But suddenly, a flash of light flashed in General Zefa's mind......
(These tears should be tears of joy...... I heard that the golden lion is even gone, so I am extremely happy! And the reason for the sadness is because of the heavy losses of nine warships! )
(As for shouting Polusalino's name...... Also because of joy? After all, if this kid was still sober, he would definitely ask him for a bonus...... )
(What a ruthless marshal, Sengoku...... I've been a comrade-in-arms with you for so many years, and for the first time, I found out that you, known as the Sengoku of the Buddha, turned out to be such a person...... )
General Zefa had the same big brain as the Marshal of the Warring States, and just when his brain was open, the latter had already walked to his side, and his voice was even more throaty:
"This guy Polusalino, although he usually has a broken mouth, an indecent attitude, loves to fish at work, and also engages in office romances...... But I always knew he was a good navy! Burn him, and scatter his ashes into the sea in his hometown......"
(Sengoku!) Under the pretext of the loss of the battleship, you actually want to raise all the ashes of Polusalino?! )
“…… Sengoku, isn't this inappropriate? ”
"Did he leave any last words?"
"He did say it, he said...... Well? Words? ”
General Zefa suddenly realized something, and couldn't help but show a crying and laughing expression in hindsight.
"Yes, last words......"
The Sengoku Marshal wiped away another handful of tears.
“…… Actually, Sengoku, Polusalino he just fainted out of strength and didn't die. ”
“.……???”
"Sakasky is fine, he just hasn't come back yet."
“……”
For a while, the marshal of the Warring States was too embarrassed to speak, and General Zefa was also embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Fortunately, the aftermath of the explosion, which Polusalino had explained in advance, had resolved the current impasse - around the perimeter of Orix Square, the glass windows of several buildings had been shattered by the aftermath of the explosion.
The Sengoku Marshal immediately went to work and ordered the sailors present to disband and disperse in small teams to various parts of Marinfando to see if there was anyone who needed help due to the aftermath of the explosion.
After commanding these naval soldiers, the Warring States Marshal looked at General Zefa again and said in a deep voice:
"Zefa, find someone to take Polusalino down to rest. You can come to my office and report on the details of the previous battle. ”
"Okay."
General Zefa nodded, took out the phone bug he had with him, and prepared to contact Major General Fina.
However, at this time, the Warring States Marshal suddenly interrupted him:
"Zefa, who are you going to notify?"
"Major General Fina, the secretary of Polusalino? Or Gion, the younger sister of Kozuru......"
"Don't call them both of them this kind of thing,"
The marshal of the Warring States period smiled, and that smile looked very strange in the eyes of General Zefa, "You go directly to the medical office, you ...... some time ago"
General Zefa first showed a shocked expression, and then this expression turned into ecstasy, and nodded busily!
"No wonder you can be a marshal of the Navy, Sengoku! Yours is it! It's too insidious...... I mean well done! ”
……
At the same time that General Zefa and the Marshal of the Warring States were teaming up to prepare a surprise for Polusalino, on a small island in the New World, Giggs, who was making a bomb for the Golden Lion, was talking to Aatrox, the deputy of the Golden Lion. And now the second-in-command of the remnants of the Golden Lion, the undercover "Silver Bullet" Fraser sent by Polusalino, is also sitting on the side.
A few minutes ago, the teacups in their hands shattered with a "bang", and the makeshift wooden house they were in shook slightly. Seeing this, Giggs immediately showed a smile on his face.
"It's my bomb! My bomb exploded! Yes...... The blast wave of the explosion can be felt from so far away, and it is the most outstanding work of my life!! Art is an explosion!! ”
Compared with the ecstatic Giggs, Aatrox was in a much lower mood, and he asked in a slightly sad tone:
"Are you sure the bomb really exploded? Mr. Giggs ......"
"I made a bomb myself, how could I be unsure?"
"And even without this shockwave, I could sense the explosion of this bomb with my fruit ability...... Well, but whether your boss Shiki succeeded in blowing up Marin Fando or not, I don't know. It's also possible that the Navy intercepted him halfway, and then the bomb exploded......"
"I see."
Aatrox nodded with a heavy heart.
When the Golden Lion took Giggs to this secret island, he and the excited Aatrox privately explained some things, including his plans after this operation.
The Golden Lion bluntly told Aatrox at the time that his action was revenge at any cost, even if it ended in death. And even if his revenge succeeds and he survives, he will choose to commit suicide.
After all, there is nothing left in his life to be nostalgic and pursued, and instead of an ugly lingering breath, it is better to draw a beautiful rest for himself.
He told Aatrox that once the bomb exploded, the Golden Lion Pirates would be disbanded immediately - the rest of them would be free to choose their own path without bearing his name.
Of course, Aatrox didn't want to see the boss he followed make such a decision, but he also knew that once the golden lion said such a thing and made such a decision, he would not change it.
After trying to persuade but being scolded for being bloody, Aatrox could only accept the Golden Lion's choice.
In addition to these things, about the transaction with Giggs, the Golden Lion also explained a few words to Aatrox alone.
"Since the deal I promised Shiki is done, the deal he promised me should also be done......"
Giggs laughed, "You're the Golden Lion's deputy, right?" He should have told you that from now on, everything that is left of the Golden Lion Pirates belongs to me. Whether it's treasure, people, or past relationship channels......"
"Yes, the Admiral did. But he must have told Mr. Giggs about you, and we need to use a code to make sure......"
"Ah, he said that,"
Giggs nodded, then frowned and looked at Fraser, who was sitting next to Aatrox, "But is the third person okay here?" ”
"No problem, Fraser can be trusted."
"Okay then...... The secret word that that guy Shiki gave me was 'lion'...... Right? ”
"Yes, that's right,"
Aatrox smiled and nodded, he took off the knife pinned to his waist while kneeling on one knee, "Then now, I, the senior cadre of the former Golden Lion Pirates, the swordsman Aatrox, pledge my allegiance to our new boss, Lord Giggs!" ”
Looking at Aatrox kneeling on one knee in a respectful tone and holding a knife in both hands, Giggs couldn't help but go to the next level of joy. He smiled as he reached for the knife:
"You swordsmen, how come you all learn the bushido of Wano Country? I like to do this...... Yes!!! ”
Aatrox, who was kneeling on one knee, suddenly burst out at a lightning speed, and the knife in his hand was instantly unsheathed! With a sharp cold light, Aatrox's knife slashed across Giggs's neck. Blood gushed out, and the latter's head rolled to the ground with a "gurgling".
Looking at the head of Giggs, whose eyes were still wide and his expression was still terrified, Aatrox said expressionlessly while wiping his knife with the clothes on the latter's corpse:
"Sure enough, just like Boss Skee said, the reason why you can get such a high bounty is entirely because the fruit is too powerful and slaughters a large number of civilians...... In fact, you, who are so weak in domineering and physical skills, can't even take one of my moves. ”
"What a foolishness, a lion will always be a lion, even if he dies, will it give its own things to the hyenas? From the moment you say that secret word, your death is already sealed......"
With that, Aatrox put the knife back into its scabbard and pinned it to his waist. Then he turned his head to look at Frazier, who was calm on the outside, but was actually terrified on the inside, and said in a tone that had recovered his temperature slightly:
"According to the Admiral's last wishes, the Golden Lion Pirates will be disbanded from now on. We are all free to choose our own path in the future...... Do you have any plans? Fraser. ”
“…… What are your plans? Master Aatrox. ”
Fraser asked rhetorically.
"Me? I'm going to create a new group of pirates, recruit some trusted companions, and complete the unfinished business of the Golden Lion Admiral on this island of Vermeio......"
"If that's the case, can I join you?"
"Absolutely, I'm very welcome."
Aatrox laughed.
Fraser laughed too, "But the new pirates, Lord Aatrox, have you thought of a name?" ”
"Ah, it's called 'New Golden Lion Pirates'......"
……
The news that the legendary sea pirate Golden Lion, who had just escaped from the Advance City, tried unsuccessfully to attack the naval headquarters Marin Fando, but was killed by Admiral Zefa's team spread throughout the world the day after his death. The World Economic News, the official partner of the world government, reacted quickly by urgently reprinting and publishing a commentator's article written by its president, Morgans.
In this article, Morgans pointed out that "the death of the golden lion is another milestone victory for the Navy to uphold justice", "the Navy, riding on the momentum, will reach an unprecedented level of suppression and targeting of pirates around the world in the future", and "the big moves will continue"......
While Morgans was writing this article overnight, Polusalino fell into a coma, so he did not get Polusalino's opinion and wrote the article purely based on his own judgment.
In fact, his judgment was quite accurate. For the day after he sent this article, the Holy Land Mary Joya sent a notice to the kings of the various confederations of the world government to urgently convene a 'world conference'.
The so-called World Conference refers to a large-scale meeting every four years in which high-level officials of the world government and dignitaries from various countries participate in discussions on security and order around the world, including the world's aristocracy. The meeting place is located in the center of the world, the Holy Land of Mary Joy, which can be described as the highest level and most important meeting in the entire pirate world.
Since the existence of the World Conference, there has never been a precedent for emergency convening or postponement. The reason for this precedent is that the topic of this meeting is too important and has a bearing on the vital interests of the more than 170 member countries of the world government. And, to put it bluntly, this meeting will determine the future direction of the world to a considerable extent.
Of course, "the conference talks about small things, but small talks about big things" - the topic of the meeting was actually decided by a high-level small meeting the night before the world government issued the notice of the meeting. The venue of this small meeting was between the absolute core powers of Pangu City, and there were only eight people in attendance: all the five old stars, the commander of the entire army of the world government, the naval marshal Warring States, and the field marshal Wadsey.
Of the eight people, Field Marshal Wadsey came to make up the numbers because of the requirements of his position, and the other seven were the real participants and speakers of the meeting.
"Sengoku, you are the marshal of the Navy, do you think it is more appropriate to determine the number of people in this world conscription?"
Wu Laoxing, who had been sitting on the sofa and had well-combed blonde hair, asked.
Although the marshal of the Warring States wanted to answer 100,000 people loudly, he also knew that such a number was simply unrealistic, so he reported the results of the previous discussion with Lieutenant General Tsuru and General Zefa:
"I have a minimum of 30,000 and a maximum of 50,000. With fewer people, such a large-scale world conscription would be meaningless; And if there are more people, military spending is a big problem. ”
"Thirty thousand to fifty thousand? The number of people we talked to was about ......."
The bald five old stars with two splayed beards nodded, "What do you think?" ”
"35,000 people I think is a reasonable number,"
Sora replied, "But compared to ordinary conscription, in order to restrain the pirates who are ready to move after Roger's domination of the Great Voyage, I think it is necessary to fill the advanced combat power of the navy." Karp's guy has always refused to be promoted to general, and Zefa's burden is a bit too heavy for him alone. ”
"We agree with what you said,"
A smile escaped from the corner of the mouth of the five old stars who wore glasses and held a long sword in their arms, "So Warring States, you have to worry more and do more work next." ”
"Huh?"
"Those three natural departments in your navy are good training objects, and you must keep an eye on them so that they can grow into government pillars who can hold the position of admiral in the shortest possible time. Especially the Shining Fruit Ability Porusalino, his strength is worthy of recognition, but his work attitude is ...... You have to make him work harder. ”
“...... I understand. ”
The corners of the marshal's mouth twitched slightly, and he nodded a little embarrassedly, he really didn't expect that the fame of Polusalino touching fish had actually spread to the five old stars.
But this is definitely a good thing for the Navy.
(Polusalino, Polusalino, your good days are coming to an end...... )
