Chapter 198: Polusalino: The War on Top (x); War underneath, total war (√),
Fish-Man Island.
Under the pretext of buying dessert for Polusalino, Kuzan swaggered through the main entrance into the Mermaid Cafe - in recent times, the cooperation between the navy and the Ryugu Castle Guard has been very effective, and a large number of pirates and slave traders have been hanged on the ice tower at the entrance of Ryugu Castle, and the order of the entire Fish-Man Island has been significantly improved, so Kuzan has a chance to relax a little.
Of course, the purpose of his visit to the Mermaid Cafe was not to completely relax - he would definitely be stationed on Fish-Man Island for a long time in the future, and in order to establish a good relationship with the residents of Fish-Man Island, and to appease them during this period of emotional turmoil, Kuzan was obviously a good means to wander the streets from time to time as an ordinary person rather than a law enforcer.
(What's to eat today?) Oysters or sea urchins? But it doesn't seem like it's good to make up for more...... )
Obsessed, Kuzan didn't notice a figure rushing from his side—and before he could come to his senses, a pretty mermaid waitress crashed into his arms with a look of excitement.
"Hey...... Wait a minute? ”
Kuzan was caught off guard by this "surprise attack" - his sights and hearings were not yet domineering enough to sense a non-hostile target at any time.
But fortunately, his reaction was fast enough, and his hands were raised in an instant, without touching the other party at all. Otherwise, with the traffic and attention of the Mermaid Cafe, within an hour, the rumor that "the human naval chief Kuzan forcibly took advantage of the mermaid waiter" would spread throughout most of the Mermaid Island.
"You're Major General Kuzan, aren't you? Captain of the Navy! ”
"Uh...... I'm Kuzan, may I ask you, this beautiful young lady, is there anything wrong with you? ”
Kuzan said as he scratched his head, and without a trace distanced himself from the excited mermaid lady, whose large watery eyes and the soft and delicate touch that came into contact with him, he was a little overwhelmed.
"Major General Kuzan! Please help me find Sister Celia! ”
The crying voice of the beautiful mermaid made Kuzan's eyes instantly cold, "She's a waitress here like me, and she's been gone for three days!" We couldn't get in touch with her! ”
“……?!”
……
"Vice Admiral Polusalino, the professionalism and sincerity of the Navy, we in Fish-Man Island have fully felt it!"
In the Dragon Palace City, King Neptune, who was smiling, took the statistical table that Minister Zuo had just submitted, and nodded with satisfaction, "It's just that in about ten days, the security level on the island has improved significantly...... If this continues, Fish-Man Island will surely achieve true tranquility and peace! ”
The undisguised optimism and joy in King Neptune's tone was naturally felt by Polusalino, but he did not immediately agree with the other party's statement, but slowly sipped his tea.
“…… Lieutenant General Polusalino, are you not satisfied with the progress of the current clean-up operation? ”
Seeing that Polusalino did not react, Princess Otohime was a little puzzled, and carefully considered the choice of words, "Although the naval soldiers you brought are all elites, the number is limited after all, and it is the first time that you have cooperated with our Ryugu Castle Guard in this kind of matter, so I privately think that it is already great to have such an achievement......"
"Princess Otohime, you misunderstood,"
Putting the teacup on top of the saucer, Polusalino took out his nail clippers from his bosom, trimmed his nails with a calm expression, and explained to the puzzled couple:
"The achievements of the Navy and the Dragon Palace Guards during this period of time, even the most stern Admiral Zefa in our Navy can't find any fault, let alone me? I just thought of something else and thought we shouldn't be rejoicing too soon......"
“…… Something else? ”
King Neptune and Princess Otohime looked at each other.
"If you go back to the statistical table, it will be obvious that the number of prisoners arrested and the number of slaves rescued by both the Ryugu Castle Guard and our navy showed an almost precipitous downward trend on the fifth day......
"Is this because we've got the criminals clean? Or is there really no such scum on Fish-Man Island? No, this can only indicate one thing - these guys have secretly formed an organization, with those victims of their captivity, systematically hidden, waiting for the moment when we relax. ”
King Neptune was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively in a soft voice, "...... You mean, Fish-Man Street? ”
As a veritable knight of the sea, Neptune is naturally not a mediocre person, but because Fish-Man Island has been oppressed by pirates and slave traders for a long time, he was just overwhelmed by joy when he saw the intuitive data that the country's security has improved.
And after Polusalino woke him up, he instantly thought of the strange key to this - the reason why foreign pirates and slave traders were able to suddenly lurk on a large scale under such a strict search by the navy and the Ryugu Castle Guard must be because the local forces of Fish-Man Island provided them with protection, not only a hiding place, but also timely intelligence.
And looking at the entire Fish-Man Island, the only thing that has the reason and ability to do this kind of thing is Fish-Man Street, which has not been hit for the time being, where the ultra-racist Aaron and his younger brothers are entrenched......
Polusalino nodded slightly, affirming King Neptune's statement, but he didn't tell the latter that Minister Guy, one of the triumvirate of the World Government Representative Group, was actually the biggest mole.
He just continued:
"But that's not the worst...... According to the latest information just from the Navy Headquarters, the monsters of the new world who realized that our navy would be stationed on Fish-Man Island for a long time in the future have finally begun to act, and the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard, has taken the main force of the Whitebeard Pirates and is heading straight for Fish-Man Island! The so-called internal and external troubles - the most dangerous moment of Fish-Man Island is coming! ”
“!!!”
……
According to the original plot setting of One Piece, which does not have the time traveler of Polusalino, after the opening of the era of pirates, Princess Otohime, who advocated peaceful coexistence with humans, died due to the assassination of extremist elements, and Fish-Man Island fell into unprecedented turmoil.
And Neptune, the lord of Dragon Palace Castle, who was no longer able to protect his people, in order to prevent the situation on Fish-Man Island from worsening further, drank the knot wine with the sea thief Whitebeard, and borrowed the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates from the other party as the umbrella of Fish-Man Island.
This situation lasted until after the top war, when Whitebeard was killed in battle, and the vitality of the white regiment was greatly damaged. Fish-Man Island had no choice but to seek the refuge of another sea thief, Bigmom, by trading desserts.
However, since Polusalino has become a traverser and actively intervened in the fate of Fish-Man Island, such a situation will naturally not appear again - the Navy and the World Government will soon become the new umbrella of Fish-Man Island.
But as we all know, Fish-Man Island serves as a hub connecting Paradise and the New World, and countless elite pirates who fought out of the park traveled to the New World through this place, and became the nourishment of those monster pirates. Therefore, Fish-Man Island is of great significance to the giants of the New World.
Therefore, in such a situation, if the navy and the world government can control Fish-Man Island, then it is equivalent to controlling the fresh blood source of the major forces in the New World and controlling their future - any sea pirate with a little normal mind will probably not allow this kind of thing to happen easily.
Whitebeard, who is leading the main force to Fish-Man Island, is naturally no exception.
It is true that in the original pirate plot setting, Jinping, who was born on Fish-Man Island, thought that Whitebeard chose to shelter Fish-Man Island out of righteousness and helping the weak. But the problem is that righteousness and profit are not completely opposed, and they can certainly coexist - saying that Whitebeard only sheltered Fish-Man Island because of righteousness and his own character, and not because of the interests of the White Group, many people, including Polusalino, don't believe it anyway.
By the way, although they are both New World giants, the Whitebeard Pirates are obviously more dependent on Fish-Man Island than the other two - the Bigmom Pirates benefit from Charlotte Lingling's soul fruit and the strange abilities of her children, even without the injection of fresh blood, they can still maintain their strong power and combat power, and even Charlotte Lingling can also incarnate a fertility machine and give birth to herself; The Beast Pirates recruit mostly chaotic and ruthless people, such guys abound in the New World, so they will never be short of people; Only the Whitebeard Pirates, although they are the most powerful and have the largest number of people, most of them are "normal people" who come from Paradise and choose to attach themselves to Whitebeard. And once Fish-Man Island is controlled by the World Government, then they will be the hardest hit......
"So this is to prepare in advance for the rhythm of the war...... Then I can only go to the Warring States Marshal to shake people! ”
After saying goodbye to the restless Neptunes, Polusalino pulled out a phone bug as he walked in the direction of the Mermaid Cafe.
Although it will certainly not be as tragic as the war on the top, the navy must be prepared in place whether it is the scene or the posture - this is a conflict that determines the future voice of the navy!
......
Although for the revolutionary army, the previous looting of Heavenly Gold and the killing of the Celestial Dragons can be described as actions of great significance. But their fundamental goal, or most important task, is to orchestrate subversive revolutions that can shake the crucial rule of world governments.
Therefore, not only to test the strength and development achievements of the revolutionary army since its establishment, but also to further speak out in this world, so as to arouse people's ideological awakening, Long and Lucy, after careful consideration, decided to lead the revolutionary army to launch a blockbuster operation in the new world.
And since it is a blockbuster operation, the candidate targets they have selected are naturally quite heavyweight:
Alternate Target 1: The Kingdom of Hayden on Hyrule Island.
This kingdom is one of the few independent kingdoms in the New World, sparsely populated, close to the main shipping lane, and has an army of less than 100,000. If it weren't for the treacherous terrain and the country's unity, as well as the construction of many strong fortresses, this kingdom would have become a paradise for pirates a long time ago.
Alternative Target 2: Clifford Kingdom on Brady Island.
Brady Island is a large, large island similar to Alabastan, rich in resources. The Kingdom of Clifford, founded on this island, is therefore one of the most powerful countries in the New World, with a population of 10 million, an army of millions, and a member of the World Government.
Alternative Target 3: The Kingdom of Bivis on the island of Jasbang.
Bivis Island is not small, it is a large island, although there are many wastelands on the island, but it is rich in iron ore and other metal resources, through the sale of minerals and seeking the protection of the nearby Whitebeard Pirates, the development of the Bivis Kingdom is also good, with a population of three million and an army of 200,000.
To tell the truth, these three goals have relatively large "returns" and relatively high risks for the current revolutionary army, but in the end, Long and Lucy still singled out the most powerful Clifford Kingdom in these three countries.
Since you want to carry out a blockbuster action, let's carry it out to the end~
……
The location is the headquarters of the revolutionary army in Beihai, the Kingdom of Brunay, in the spacious courtyard of the royal palace.
Lucy, the current Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, spread out an island-wide map of "strategic" Brady Island, which she had received from corrupt officials of the World Government, on a stone table next to the fountain.
"Let's sort out what we already know: first, Brady Island is a large island with forests, inland rivers, mountains, and plains, and the only Clifford kingdom on the island has nine cities, including the royal city, and many small towns, including two port cities. With a population of nearly 10 million, an army of 400,000 but a million and nearly 50 warships...... In addition, there are many powerful generals in the Clifford Kingdom, and according to Dragon, almost everyone can fight a rear admiral on their own. ”
Lucy said, pointing to the map.
Xiong, who also came to the palace of Brunay, answered:
"It's worth mentioning that the timing of our action is actually quite favorable for us. The current king of the Kingdom of Clifford, Dasco IX, has become seriously ill and does not know when he will die, although the eldest prince has the right to inherit the throne, but several other princes are also eyeing the throne, it can be said that the political situation is very complicated, and the country is currently extremely disunited......"
"The information about these princes, first of all, is the eldest prince Dasco. The first in line to the throne of Clifford, he is also a well-known swordsman, not weak, and has the support of many nobles and military generals. ”
"The second is the second prince, Burton, who is also a powerful swordsman, but unlike his brother, he has a high prestige among the commoners and is quite supported by the people."
"Then there is the third prince, Kelsey, who has a certain talent and the support of many nobles. But in fact, he is arrogant, and it can be said that although his vision is high, his own ability is far from enough......"
"The fourth prince Darren is an artist, a famous master of stone carving, although he has the support of some nobles because of his mother's relationship, he himself does not seem to have much interest in the throne."
"Finally, the fifth prince Bensen, who is also the object that Mr. Long reminds us to pay attention to, the superhuman person who has the ability to exchange fruits, and the ability that has been shown is that he can exchange places with a certain item within a certain range."
"This is the current situation of the royal family in the Kingdom of Clifford,"
Xiong concluded, "If our actions can go smoothly, the fourth prince should be a good target. ”
Callas, who was personally recruited by the dragon and has now become a high-ranking cadre of the revolutionary army, and participated in this discussion in the courtyard of the Brunay Palace, nodded and muttered:
"Then let me tell you about the military situation in the Kingdom of Clifford. In fact, it is very simple, the most prosperous city in the Clifford Kingdom is the royal capital 'Nako', except for the two port cities with heavy troops stationed, most of the rest of the army are stationed in the royal capital 'Nako', and the famous powerhouses of the kingdom are basically all gathered here. Therefore, we just need to take here, and the kingdom of Clifford can almost be said to have been obtained by us. ”
"As for the number of troops we can use at the moment, I have also made a count,"
Carlaston paused and continued, "Lord Moria's zombie soldiers total 2,500, of which 2,200 are ordinary zombie soldiers, 200 are elites with considerable combat effectiveness, and 100 are special enhancement individuals; The combat units of the revolutionary army can put in 3,000 people, and the capable cadres are 5 people...... These troops, together with a few of our senior cadres, should have no problem dealing with Nako's army. However, considering that the World Government may send strong reinforcements after the battle breaks out, it is best for us to quickly take down the members of the royal family and use the influence of the royal family to capture the Kingdom of Clifford from the top down......"
"On this point, the dragon is actually already in action,"
Lucy smiled, "The reason why these princes in the Clifford Kingdom have not started a direct fierce battle for the throne is simply because although the old king is seriously ill, he can actually last for a while, so the military and political power is still in his hands, and the princes are also very afraid of their father, who was once famous for his tyranny......"
"When the old king dies suddenly, the mighty kingdom of Clifford will surely be plunged into turmoil and internal strife as princes fight for the throne...... That's the best time for us to take advantage of the chaos! ”
