Chapter 61: The Dressrosa Crisis

"This is the Sea Train?"

Leaning against the window, Zoro looked out at the rapidly receding sea, sparkling and fast beyond the reach of ordinary ships.

"It's amazing, sure enough, science and technology are the primary productive forces."

Maintaining the form of a man and beast, the cute Chopper couldn't help but admire this technological creation.

By the way, when maintaining the human-animal form, Chopper is in a state of 'mental strength'. Don't look at his cute appearance, he is actually the one with the highest IQ in the Straw Hats.

Blue sky and white clouds, blue sea like washing. In the sound of the clattering flywheel, the huge 'sea train' is moving at high speed on the sea surface, and the billowing white smoke from the front of the locomotive provides it with strong power, relying on the design that does not know whether it is scientific or unscientific to speed on the sea.

Although the shape of the sea train is very similar to the 'train' of Rossi's previous life, it is much larger than the train, so the Black Cat can be hung on the back of the sea train as a 'carriage'. And Luffy and the others, of course, are sitting in this sea train specially issued for them.

"Hey, Luffy!"

Others did sit in the carriages, but there was one exception:

"Hee-hee-hee~~"

"Train King, I'm done!!"

Luffy, who was standing on the front of the car with his arms outstretched, shouted in the wind, letting the wind blow his short black hair. Anyway, with his ability to sound the thunder fruit, he can fly back into the carriage even if he is thrown off.

"Leave him alone,"

The door to the next compartment opened, and Sanji walked in with the dining cart.

"Miss Robin, Miss Nami, come and try the train bento I cooked for you—"

cracking sound

With a flash of lightning, Luffy turned into lightning from the window. Compared to announcing himself as the 'King of Trains' at the top of the front of the train, or Sanji's food is more appealing.

"The power of science and technology is good, but to say that the primary productive forces have passed."

At the same time, Esbagu, who was in a striped suit and had meticulously combed hair, also walked in from behind.

"Devil fruits are the real primary productive forces, moving mountains and reclaiming the sea, changing everything, all kinds of magic... It's a pity that the vast majority of people with fruit abilities use their abilities to fight and kill, which can only be said to be the sadness of this world. ”

This is the truth, if the Devil Fruit Abilities are willing to engage in production, the labor of tens of millions of people and the normal scientific and technological power will be completely destroyed in an instant!

But in this world where battles are frequent, all fruit abilities are desperately developing combat skills, and even a bunch of food-based abilities in Charlotte Lingling's family are used to fight. Making food for ordinary people to eat is their side hustle.

However, even this side business is enough to feed the millions of civilians of 'all nations' in Totland.

Like the Golden Lion, a dozen islands can be easily raised to form a very safe logistics base; There is also Luffy, the Thunder Fruit, which was used by Anilu to rekindle the 'Plasma Spark Tower' of the moon city of Bicca in the original timeline, so that the moon city that has been depleted for thousands of years due to energy depletion will be alive again.

It can be said that the place where the Devil Fruit really reduces its dimensionality and strikes is still used for production, rather than for fighting fiercely.

"Look, we're almost there."

As Esbagu pointed forward as he walked to the window, Luffy and the others, who were throwing food into their mouths, also tilted their heads to look out of the window.

"Red Earth Continent?!"

"So, we've already gone through the first half of the great route, do we want to climb Upside Down Mountain again?"

That's right, the Capital of the Seven Waters is actually at the end of the first half of the Great Route, and it was supposed to pass through the 'Devil's Triangle' and then reach the Chambord Islands, from where it will dive into Fish-Man Island, 10,000 meters below the sea, to reach the New World.

But under the drag of the sea train in the capital of seven waters, Luffy and the others walked in a straight line towards the Red Earth Continent!

"Hey, there's a city over there?"

Luffy's Seeing and Hearing Domineering sensed the breath of a large number of human beings, and in fact, he didn't need to see and smell Domineering: several people on the sea train were all 'little masters' with good strength, and their keen eyes had already discovered that there was a fortress-like city beneath the towering Red Earth Continent.

"That city is the 'New Red Harbor', which has a very long tunnel managed by the navy, and we can go directly to the new world through the tunnel."

As the sea train began to slow down, a city composed of strong fortresses appeared in the eyes of everyone, the fortress was as thick as a mountain, densely packed with various artillery pieces, and at the same time, a lot of strong aura emanated from the fortress, so that Luffy and the others couldn't help but stop playing and eating and drinking.

"Please stop!"

And in the center of this fortress city, which looks like the world's top, is the entrance to a giant tunnel connected to the sea: through the lights inside, you can see that the tunnel with the rippling sea below stretches to the end of the line of sight, and even Luffy and the others can't see the depth.

After the sea train stopped in front of this majestic fortress, a man wearing a middle comb, sunglasses, a black suit, but a white general's coat leaped under his feet and landed lightly on the sea train.

"Excuse me,"

Pulling the car door in, the man who had received Rossi and others several times in the 'Red Harbor', and who had now been promoted to the head of the Navy's Criminal Investigation Bureau, greeted everyone in the carriage politely.

"I'm Vice Admiral Teal."

'Dark Horse' Tianqing, although the rank is only a lieutenant general, but as a lieutenant general who can use 'color + animal' as a nickname, his strength is naturally very strong, not the reason for the general, because there are only three generals.

"Lieutenant General Tianqing, I am the mayor of the Seven Waters City, Espagu, and I have already submitted an application to pass through the 'Red Tunnel'."

Esbagu greeted him, and the man in sunglasses nodded in response, his gaze sweeping over Luffy and the others without making a trace.

He is the head of the Navy's Criminal Investigation Bureau, and in short, he is the boss of the Navy's internal 'supervisory organs'.

Directly under the admiral, naturally he also knows a lot of top-secret information.

Well, this black-haired teenager is the grandson of Lieutenant General Karp and the son of Senior Long? has such a domineering spirit at a young age, and the fruit is a tiger father without a dog.

This girl named Nami is a war orphan adopted by the retired navy, and if it weren't for Karp's grandson, she would have entered the navy...

The three sons of the Vince Mock family who have been missing for many years? Anyway, as long as the Vince Mock family pays for it, they will also help the navy fight, although they don't need it.

As for Sauron, there is too little information, and he only knows that he is a powerful three-sword swordsman.

And Robin's words... Thinking of the pheasant who was 'greeting' to him around the corner, the corners of the 'dark horse' azure mouth rose slightly, revealing a warm smile.

"So you're going to pass through the Red Earth Continent and enter the New World?"

"Young people are amazing! Don't be nervous, I'm just doing a routine round-"

After seemingly casual, but in fact, carefully swept the entire sea train, the polite vice admiral said goodbye and left. The sea train that stopped in front of the majestic fortress started again, dragging the modified Black Cat and began to move towards the giant tunnel located in the fortress.

"Could it be that this tunnel directly leads to the Red Earth Continent?"

As the train began to speed away, in the tunnel with no end in sight, Sauron couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Digging through the Red Clay Continent, what a terrifying project? If you let the construction team of ordinary people do it, I am afraid that there will be no hope for hundreds of years. After all, since the Red Earth Continent is called 'Continent', its thickness is naturally not comparable to that of any island.

"That's right, just like I said before, in front of the Devil Fruit ability, technology can't be called the first productive force."

"This tunnel, which is said to have been built by the navy and the revolutionary army, and even with the help of the Don Quixote family, naturally relies on the power of the Devil Fruit. It is also with this tunnel that the Navy can join the New World and the first half of the 'Paradise'. ”

Because of the turn of face with the world government, except for the countries and pirates who are clearly on the side of the world government, it is impossible for other forces to rise to the Red Earth Continent through the 'bubble cable car', and then they cannot cross the moat surrounding the world from above, so the navy has to find another way.

And this tunnel is a wonder of fruit ability that even a sea train needs to speed for hours to cross, created by the giant Mauri, and the Don Quixote family's 'Stone Fruit Ability' Giant, and the Giant Morry, the 'Pushing Fruit Ability' of the Don Quixote family.

"Devil Fruits can still do this kind of thing,"

After listening to Esbagu's explanation, Luffy opened his mouth with a smile on his face.

"It's really good, in addition to fighting and killing, but also benefiting the world in this way."

"yes, that's a shame."

Esbagu shook his head, in this chaotic world, any fruit ability person would only use their ability development as a tool for battle. Because if you don't, you'll be killed. Those who want to see the Devil Fruit ability use their abilities on a large scale to benefit the world, unless the sea ushers in true peace.

"This is the permanent record pointer of Dressrosa,"

After handing Nami a recording pointer, Esbagu looked at the young girls in front of her.

"Several, I won't say anything else. I wish you all the best, after all, in this chaotic world, good people like you—"

Too little.

A few hours later, in a fortress on the other side of the Red Earth Continent, a sea train slowly slowed down. Docked on the shore and waited for the Navy to unload the cargo loaded on it. The Black Cat, which was dragging at the back of the carriage, was also loosened, slowly turned, and crossed the sea train in front.

"Uncle Asbagu, goodbye!"

Luffy and the others on the ship waved goodbye to Esbagu, and their next target was Dressrosa, located in the early part of the New World, where there was Rossi-sensei's family, as well as a group of peers led by Trafalgar Rowe, who had met before, and tools that could help the teacher get out of trouble!

What they don't know, however, is that at this time Dressler:

————

Dressrosa,

The war surrounded the whole island,

The pungent smoke of gunpowder, the thick blood, the mutated roar, the roar of artillery fire, the dazzling sword... Anyone who is here will have their hearts pounding, their adrenaline surging, and then they can't help but cry out hoarsely because of the great terror between life and death:

"Fire!!"

Above the sea, there are dense ships. There are steel battleships with the cross flag of the world government, wooden sailing ships with skull flags, speedboats shaped like cakes, and black landing ships with rough and hideous colors...

Countless artillery pieces of varying lengths poured out artillery fire on Dressrosa! The whistling cannonballs continued to explode on the mushroom rocks, and the sheer number was so overwhelming that the Dressrosa defenders could not raise their heads.

But the fierce artillery fire was extinguished in the blink of an eye, and the waves tens of meters high surged out of thin air, carrying a huge amount of sea water and coldly crushing the fleet at sea, capsizing the warships and staggering them like leaves in the rapids.

Immediately afterward, a giant sea whirlpool with a diameter of more than several hundred meters was rapidly generated, and the terrifying currents swirled rapidly around the ships, mixed with the desperate screams of countless people.

"Fish-Man Karate: Sea Vortex!"

The huge ocean vortex swept dozens of warships into it, causing them to collide and explode in the rotation, countless pirates and agents fell into the sea like ants, and were swallowed by the giant vortex in their struggles, sweeping away the offensive power of this sea area.

"It's Lord Jinping!"

"Great, kill all these bastards who want to destroy us!"

Just when Jinpei in the sea used fish-man karate to create a sea whirlpool to relieve the pressure on the coast, to the relief of the soldiers guarding the mushroom rocks, this small relaxation led to serious consequences. A dozen figures in black suits leaped into the air as the fleet was destroyed, and rushed directly to the mushroom-shaped rock cannon muzzle that had been hollowed out inside to make a natural defensive structure.

"Be careful!!"

"It's a CP agent, ah-"

As the agents who had mastered the six types rushed into the mushroom rock, the screams immediately began one after another, mixed with the sound of human bodies being torn apart. More than a dozen of Dressrosa's soldiers had their armor torn, blood staining the cloaks behind them, and their broken bodies had slammed from the mushroom rocks into the sea in a throwing position.

But the CP agents didn't last long, because as the golden light swept through like a flash of cold lightning, it was as if they had pressed the pause button and froze in place.

In the next second, even the agent who used the 'iron block' was scattered into a pile of geometric flesh pieces.

"It's Master Diamanti!!"

After seeing the comer, Dressrosa's morale was shocked and cheered like thunder, but Diamanti, who made a move, looked up at the sea outside, and the Tong Kong was full of solemnity.

There are too many of them,

The sea that had just been emptied by Jinping, and the churning sea had not yet calmed down, it was filled with countless ships that came up again.

The Kaido Pirates, the Big Mom Pirate Ships, the World Government, and many more countries and forces attached to their command, a battle of more than a million people... This battle is not easy to fight no matter how you look at it.
