The five elders gave the naval fleet stationed on Fish-Man Island three days, not only to let them complete the finishing touches of the follow-up work on Fish-Man Island, but also to allow the "seriously injured" Polusalino to recover well, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of this demon slayer fleet with a major mission.

Of course, the new weapons that need to be tested by Dr. Vegapunk will also be transported to the New World in advance through the safe passage of the World Government at the top of the Red Earth Continent in the next three days, waiting for the subsequent arrival of the naval fleet.

In these three days, in addition to completing the finishing work of Fish-Man Island, the generals and officers at the rank of colonel and above also received several remote training sessions from the Navy Headquarters - the way adopted is naturally the new remote meeting function launched by the phone bug, and the training content is the main target of this demon slaying order.

That's right, although it is said that the Demon Slaying Order is an indiscriminate range of destruction attacks, and the sailors who participate in the execution of the Demon Slaying Order are also "pure tool men" who act according to the order, but considering the complexity of the current situation in the Clifford Kingdom this time, and the fact that the naval fleet is also responsible for the use and testing of new weapons, the General Staff of the Navy Headquarters has decided after discussion that intelligence training should be given to the middle and senior officers who participated in the Demon Slaying Order this time - this situation can be regarded as the first time in the history of the Navy.

The first day of the distance training consisted mainly of intelligence analysis of the national forces of the Clifford Kingdom, while the second day focused on the situation of the main cadres of the revolutionary army, and the third day was ......

"According to the news from the CP agents, Elvis, the 'Sword of Protector' of the Clifford Kingdom, has been defeated by the revolutionary army, but the third prince who was aided by the revolutionary army still failed to seize the throne, because the fifth prince, who is also a contender for the throne with the third prince, has found a stronger ally than the revolutionary army, and is also the focus of our demon slaying operation......"

"Former Roger Pirates Member, Main Combatant, 'Heir to the Devil' Douglas Barrett...... Born into a war orphan in Geldzburg, the great military power of the seaway, Barrett was called a hero on the battlefield at a young age, but Barrett's birth and childhood left no records, and his parents did not name him......"

"In the civil war of the military state of Geelzburg, he probably went to war with a gun at the age of five or six, like everyone else. He joined the Göltz Army (GF), the army in Görtzburg, but young soldiers like him were pawns to be thrown at will. Speaking of their mission, it is to walk on a battlefield full of mines and take the lead of the main army, or to rush into the enemy's position with bombs......"

"The GF uses the name and number of the unit to manage these young soldiers, and he is the No. 9 member of the 'Barrett (Bullets' team, and the captain is named Douglas - the No. 9 member of the Douglas Barrett team, which is where Douglas Barrett comes from."

"Normally, a young soldier can only get ahead if he is lucky enough to survive the battlefield. If you want to survive in Golzburg, not only the enemy, but also the partner, cannot be trusted. The civil war is rife with infighting and betrayal, and you must obey orders while surviving on your own. ”

"Douglas Barrett No. 9 gradually rose to prominence, and before he knew it, everyone in the GF Army knew his big name, that is, the strongest young soldier...... He gradually learns that if he is strong enough, many things can work out his wishes. Whether it is to decide the life and death of people, whether it is plunder or extermination...... Being able to make choices gave him a first-hand taste of what it's like to be alive. ”

Only being strong is freedom, and this became the rule of his life. It is said that it was also at this time in a mercenary war in a certain country in the New World that he ate the combined fruit of the superhuman system. Relying on the ability of the combined fruit, he was said to be able to match the combat power of a battalion by one person, and was known as a 'one-man army'. ”

"Finally, he became a hero on the battlefield."

"Because of Barrett No. 9's performance, GF's victory in the civil war is just around the corner. His commander, Captain Douglas, was promoted to general because of his outstanding military achievements. General Douglas treated Barrett 9 as his own, and made a pact with him: 'If you win this war, I will liberate you from the battlefield, become a cadre of the army, and live a life of food and clothing.' You'll be truly free ......"

Barrett's No. 9 General Douglas admired him like a father, and these words gave him a dream for the first time. 'Freedom' other than war, this is something he never dreamed of. ”

Finally, under the overwhelming action of Barrett 9, the rebels agreed to surrender, and the long civil war finally came to an end, and the atmosphere of celebration was in full force throughout Goldsburg. However, the heroes of the battlefield were surrounded by the enemy before the triumphant capital. And the enemy is none other than his own GF army. ”

"One by one, the hero Barrett No. 9, your strength will one day threaten my position."

"Once the prey hare is killed, the hound also becomes waste, cooked and eaten by the hunter. As the fable tells, once the enemy surrenders, the struggle for power between the companions begins. ”

"For General Douglas, who wanted to be the leader of the country, Barrett 9 was too dangerous a figure. If his exploits in the war were known to the world, his prestige would have surpassed his own. So get rid of him. Before the war is completely over, the hero must die honorably on the battlefield. ”

Barrett 9 was disappointed. General Douglas betrayed him as his own, and he understood why, but could not accept it. ”

"He was sad and angry."

"The GF Army was well aware of his abilities and weaknesses, so they launched an attack on the sea where those who could not escape. Even so, Barrett broke out of the siege and survived. ”

"He finally understood the truth that 'only the strength that he has trained to the limit will not betray himself'."

He declared war on the entire GF Army and the country, and finally wiped out his comrades in the GF Army, General Douglas, whom he regarded as his father, and the motherland. He exterminated all the innocent people of Gerzburg. This series of massacres is the 'Tragedy of Geerzburg'. The Douglas Barrett 9, who destroyed Görzburg, was considered dangerous by the world government and was wanted. ”

"It's time to abandon the country that betrayed you and sail away. In order to get the only thing that did not betray oneself, one by one's own 'strong'. ”

"Whatever they call it, I just need the name 'Douglas Barrett' to be louder than anyone else. When the time comes, I will be free......"

"He was wanted under the name Douglas Barrett and became a pirate on the run. After that, he somehow became Roger's subordinate, and his notoriety began to be known to the world. Because of his ferocity and danger, in previous years, he was ...... by the Marshal of the Warring States

……

"As soon as I heard it, I knew it was your manuscript and let Brann read it out, right?"

Outside the remote conference room of the Navy Headquarters where Brannu, the "PPT Fruit" ability was located, the Sengoku Marshal held a folder in his hand and looked at his old friend Admiral Zefa with a smile, "It's obviously the intelligence training of the naval fleet, but it's the same as the story of Douglas Barrett, the pirate club, and I also dissect his inner activities...... You, you! ”

"Hmph, intelligence training is just a wake-up call for these young people,"

General Zefa snorted coldly, not as if he was not very satisfied with the ridicule of the Marshal of the Warring States, "If they face a similar situation to Douglas Barrett one day, I, as a teacher and their superiors, hope that they can make a different choice." ”

"They are sailors, how can they ......?"

"Have you forgotten, Sengoku, your old subordinate Marven is also a naval soldier!"

General Zefa just looked straight at the Marshal of the Warring States.

“……”

The marshal of the Warring States period didn't know what to say, and the forced defection of his old subordinate Colonel Marven made it difficult for him, the "big Buddha", whose state of mind had long been beyond ordinary people. I could only smile bitterly, sighed, and then handed the folder in my hand to General Zefa, skipping the topic:

"The five old stars have already discussed with the Sky Marshal, and when the Clifford Kingdom's demon slaying order operation is over, Kuzan will be promoted to lieutenant general of the headquarters and officially take over the position of the head of the Fish-Man Island base...... Then strive to hold a ceremony for the three of them to confer the title of general at the same time within five years. ”

"Three young people are the most powerful,"

Hearing the words of the Warring States Marshal, Admiral Zefa's face looked a little better, "Coupled with the 'Frozen Throne' plan and the 'Burning Expedition' plan proposed by the boy Polusalino, this chaotic era started by Roger seems to finally have signs that it can be ended by our navy......"

……

The North Sea, the extremely beautiful island of Sixis.

As far as the eye can see, there is a special current in the distance of the flat shallow sea that shines with emerald green. Anything that comes close will be dragged into the direction of the island, which can be described as an invisible prison in the sea - yes, although it has such beautiful scenery, this is indeed an uninhabited island that life cannot leave once it sets foot and finally dies.

"Hoo ......"

Colonel Marvin, the former head of the North Sea Naval Branch and now a traitor to the Navy, sighed and sat down in the shade of the coconut trees. Standing quietly beside him were the white bones of his predecessors.

With years of experience dealing with pirates, Colonel Malvern was able to tell the identity of the pirate from some of the features of this skeleton, especially the fact that he still held a rusty pistol in his flesh-and-blood hand, which was a high-end model that the pirates of the North Sea liked very much, and it was expensive.

But whether it's a high-end weapon or a priceless gem, there is no point in this uninhabited island that can never be left.

"It's been 17 days......

Colonel Malvern couldn't help but say to himself, if he didn't do this, he felt like he would forget his own voice.

Seventeen days ago, Colonel Malvern, who had finally recovered from the fierce battle with CP0, attempted to leave the North Sea and enter the Great Voyage, but the ship he was on encountered a rather exaggerated storm, and he was stranded on this uninhabited island.

Luckily, although you can't leave this uninhabited island once you arrive, you can still find food and fresh water, and although it is not very abundant, it is enough to sustain life, and Colonel Malvern has persevered until now.

Of course, during these 17 days, Malvern also tried to build a ship and leave here. But the things he built were more apt to be described as "desecrating the coffins of the dead" than ships......

"I knew I was going to be a shipwright in the first place......

"Could it be that guy Polusalino who came to hang out in the North Sea and happened to be here...... With his ability, it couldn't be easier to go anywhere, to leave anywhere......"

"The Warring States Marshal doesn't know how much bounty was set for me, the fallen Admiral Marvin, because his strength is too strong, the bounty is one billion Bailey, and he is only allowed to be captured alive, haha......"

Colonel Malvern leaned against the coconut tree and closed his eyes.

"The sound of the sea is still ......!

！ ”

The sound of the waves crashing against the gravel, which was completely different from before, made Colonel Malvern instantly refreshed, and he suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, looking in the direction from which the abnormal sound came-

It was a green-haired man in a coma, who also seemed to be a victim, washed ashore by the sea, his upper body with tight muscles was naked, and his back was printed—

"Dragon's Hoof?!

”

All slaves raised by the world's aristocracy will be branded with the proof of this "inferior human" that can never be erased - as a former naval colonel, Malvern is relatively familiar with this imprint.

"Slave of the Draconians......"

Marvin's face was gloomy, and he walked towards the unconscious man - this kind of mark that represented the authority of the Draco people reminded him of the CP0 who also represented the Draco people he had fought with for a moment.

……

New World, Kingdom of Clifford.

Although it was only a hundred and ten kilometers away, the battle for the throne that took place in the royal capital did not affect Port Hyde, the largest port in the kingdom. On this day, as usual, the port was bustling with people, with street vendors doing business, fishermen going out to fish, and merchants from outside bringing in products from other places.

There are pirates drinking in the tavern, talking about the recent events in the royal capital, or bragging, and there are bounty hunters who look around the pirates with bad intentions, as if they are ready to draw their guns and attack at any moment.

Although Edward, who has the same name as the world's strongest man Whitebeard, is only twenty-eight years old this year, he is a veteran who has been in the army for nine years. He had fought with pirates, and he had fought against other armies, but in one of his battles with pirates, three fingers of his right hand had been severed. As a result, he retired from the Main Battle Corps and served as the captain of the Hyde Tower in Harbor.

As usual, Edward had arrived at the top of the Hyde Tower with a bottle of rum today, and he was the only one on duty in the morning.

Just as Edward was looking at the sea bored, and was about to open the wine he was carrying, he suddenly observed some black spots on the surface of the sea that were getting closer and closer.

"The merchant fleet is still ......"

Edward was startled, hurriedly put down his wine, picked up the monocular on the side, and looked at it—

There are more than ten warships that catch the eye, and the reason why they are warships is because they are equipped with a large number of artillery guns, and then look at the flag......

"Navy?"

Although the Kingdom of Clifford is a member of the World Government, in fact, the navy, as the representative of the World Government, does not necessarily come to this Kingdom once a year - even if it finally comes once, it is a small single warship, and the purpose is only to collect heavenly gold.

The reason is simple, the Kingdom of Clifford is a military power in its own right, and does not need the protection of the navy like other world government member states. And it's located in the New World, adjacent to the sphere of influence of the Whitebeard Pirates, and the navy can't do whatever it wants here like it does in the Four Seas and Paradise. So except for the necessary task of collecting heavenly gold, the navy will not come here at all.

But what Edward saw at the moment was a naval fleet of more than ten large warships, which could be regarded as super-sized anywhere in the world, and each warship was a big guy, armed with hundreds of heavy guns.

"What is the Navy doing here......

Edward said - for some reason, in the face of these supposed friendly navies, a little cold sweat unconsciously oozed from his forehead.

As if the ghost had sent a god, Edward rang the huge bronze bell behind him.

……

On the sea.

The Demon Slayer Fleet, which is composed of a number of senior generals of the Navy Headquarters, including the three natural monsters of the Navy, and fifteen first-class warships, is sailing mightily on the turquoise waters, and thousands of guns with a metallic luster are pointing ahead.

On the deck of one of the largest ships in the fleet, Pollusalino, the commander, stood on the bow of the ship, with Sakasky and Kuzan alongside him, one on the left and one on the right.

"The guards of the harbor have signaled......"

Polusalino held a telescope in his hand, and his tone was unusually serious.

"Do you want to attack directly?"

Sakasky asked coldly, the golden phone bug representing the Demon Slaying Order was already in his hand.
