A huge three-aircraft carrier fleet is now on the sea.

In the direction of Wano Country.

"Lieutenant General, no matter how you look at this mission, it's very weird..."

On the bow deck, Drake, who had become a commodore general, said to the commander of the Fifth Fleet, Vice Admiral Jonathan.

Because, this time, the order for the Fifth Fleet to dispatch did not come from the usual channels of the headquarters organs, but was issued by Sean directly in contact with Jonathan, and even...

I didn't say what exactly the content of this mission was, but just let them go to Wano Country, and someone would naturally hand them over at that time.

Informal channels, coupled with tasks of unknown significance, inevitably make Redk think more.

However, Jonathan smiled slightly, not paying much attention.

"Drake, the regular channel is just a regular order, and if Marshal Sean can bypass the regular channel and order directly, it is definitely not a regular mission, but a secret mission."

"In addition, the fact that I didn't even tell you the details of the mission this time proves this even more."

"Wait and see, this is definitely a very important mission!"

Compared to Drake, Jonathan has to see a lot more clearly.

And at this time...

"Lieutenant General, 5 nautical miles ahead, we found a warship, heading straight for us, it should be our people, but there is no mission flag on it!"

"Sound the battle alarm, slow down the fleet, and send a detachment to confirm!"

"Yes, Lieutenant General!"

Soon, the entire fleet began to slowly slow down.

At the same time, a detachment consisting of one cruiser, two destroyers, and four frigates also broke away from the fleet and accelerated forward.

However, before the detachment could advance much distance, there were already people on the opposite battleship stepping on the moon and rapidly approaching them.

This man was extremely fast, even if it was only a moon step, but it only took less than three minutes to cross the distance of 5 nautical miles.

Fell on the deck of the flagship where Jonathan was.

However, the sailors on the ship were not nervous, because they had confirmed the identity of the other party through binoculars more than a minute earlier.

Now one of the six major admirals of the New World Navy, Rob Luqi ranks second in comprehensive combat power.

"Admiral Luffy, are you here related to our mission?"

"That's right, I'll guide the fleet to the mission location, now let the fleet turn, 045, and then travel 280 nautical miles."

"Understood!"

Jonathan nodded, and then asked Adjutant Drake to deliver the order.

Bearing 045, 280 nautical miles away...

It's close to Wano Country, but it's definitely not Wano Country.

If I'm not mistaken, it's a place called the Nas Islands, right?

The Nas Islands consist of 372 miniature, small, and small number of medium-sized islands.

However, all the islands are uninhabited, not because they have no foundation for houses, nor because they are rich in powerful beasts, nor because there is no arable land.

Contrarily...

The conditions of these islands are excellent.

How good is it?

There is not even a need to work on their own, and the fruit trees that grow naturally alone are enough to feed a large population.

There are no dangerous murderers, and the fishery resources are abundant.

But with such good conditions, why is there no one to live in?

The reason is simple...

Because the sea here in the New World is so weird, so weird that nothing is unusual.

From time to time, there is a very strange phenomenon in the Nas Islands, where the islands...

It will sink inexplicably, leaving only those anomalies

Huge fruit trees protrude out of the sea.

At first, it was thought that the water level of the sea was changing.

But later, after a long period of research, many people found that the water level here has not changed, but the entire Nasser Islands are sinking on their own.

That's where it gets interesting.

Hundreds of islands that sink on their own and then float on their own.

It's just a big off-track.

But considering that this is a new world, everyone doesn't say anything.

As a result, the Nas Islands became a notoriously off-limits area in the New World.

For hundreds of years, it has always been.

Of course, there is something wrong with saying that life is off-limits.

Because, since the emergence and rise of pirates, this has been the hiding place of many pirates in the new world.

After all, the islands sink on their own, but neither do their pirate ships.

Hidden within hundreds of islands, it is difficult to find without going deep into the islands and spending a lot of time searching.

After going through the information about the Nas Islands in my mind.

Jonathan began to speculate, too.

Could it be that there are a large number of pirates hidden there, and our Fifth Fleet is here to exterminate these pirates this time?

As for the purpose of the hidden mission, it is also to prevent these pirates from escaping?

So that's the case, then it all makes sense.

"Admiral Lucci, should we disperse the fleet, block several major entrances and exits on the outskirts of the Nas Islands, and then have the aviation forces on the three aircraft carriers enter the interior of the islands to search and strike?"

"In this way, we can prevent the other party from escaping as much as possible, and take down all the pirates at the lowest cost!"

"After all, with the environment in the Nas Islands, it is not easy for the Grand Fleet to enter directly, and it will greatly limit our combat effectiveness!"

After making up for the brain, Jonathan groaned for a while, and then suggested to Luki.

However, Luqi has a strange face.

This guy...

What are you talking about?

Who said we were going to fight pirates?

And that thing...

Not to mention that you send a group of planes to attack, even if your entire fleet is killed together, then you can't take it, right?

"Lieutenant General Jonathan, did you misunderstand something?"

"Uh, misunderstanding? We're not here to exterminate the pirates hiding in the Nas Islands?"

"Of course not, the pirates in the Nas Islands were all secretly wiped out by us a few months ago."

"So..."

"Okay, don't ask, you'll find out when you get there."

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Lu Qi said.

------

Half a day later.

The fleet crossed a voyage of 280 nautical miles and came to the outside of the Nas Islands.

Then, at the request of Luci, he drove directly into the archipelago.

And when they arrived in the heart of the Nasser Islands, their eyes widened.

His face was full of horror.

This...

What the hell is it?

Looks like a ship?

Made of all-metal, you can't see any exposed weapons.

Of course, none of this matters.

Importantly, this thing is too big, right?

Even a few small islands, in front of this goods, are simply a younger brother.

"Admiral Lucky, what is this?"

"One of the three ancient weapons, the Hades... Pluto!"
