Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Mysterious Master
Bacchus stepped on the sea dragon and walked on a high note.
The outer iron fence of the island of Justice is gone, the former island has become a bunker, and Bacchus has landed at the port to meet an old acquaintance.
"I'm sorry to let Brother Jiaji pick it up."
"Yes, Brother Bacchus, I'll take you to a resting place."
The two talked as they walked, talking about inconsequential things.
Bacchus followed the tea dolphin into the gate of the fortress and scanned it with telekinesis, and the garrison on the front island was only about 1,000 people, all of whom were artillerymen, but judging from the breath, these sailors were really not weak.
It is much stronger than the usual sailors of various branches, and knowing that this fortress is suspected of cannon fodder, they still guard their posts with high momentum.
With 100 cannons of various calibers, plus five pacifists hidden on the top floor of the fortress, and hundreds of bazookas, the firepower is really good.
If Whitebeard doesn't make a move, it will be difficult for his team to break through here, even if it is Margao and Bista, as long as a few lieutenant generals resist for a while, the ordinary pirates under the White Regiment will definitely die a lot.
The front island is not large, and there is a relatively narrow passage behind it, which connects to the main island that hangs in the air.
There were no ordinary soldiers in the passage, and there were no shore defense guns, so there were a lot of gasoline barrels.
Telekinesis probes, but no other mechanism is found.
After walking through the passage for thousands of meters, we came to the second large fortress, which was originally the front gate of the main island of Justice, and now it is arranged with more firepower than the first fortress, and there are ten pacifists alone.
2000 naval forces are stationed here.
Through the second fort, most of the island remains in ruins, only slightly leveled, and a cross-shaped road connecting each of the four large forts.
Yes, in addition to the Qianmen Fortress, on the main island, there is one symmetrical on the left and right, plus the fortress built on the site of the original Inquisition, there are four major fortresses in total.
There are also several small forts on the left and right, and there are quite a lot of shore defense guns.
Part of the guns are facing the open sea, and part of the guns are facing the island, and they are cross-armed.
There is nothing in the middle of the empty island, like a deliberately prepared battlefield.
A few hundred meters in front of the upper fortress was set up a table of executions with three chairs.
Bacchus suddenly thought of the arrogant sitting posture of the three generals.
Only a team of 100 sailors was on duty near the execution platform, and when they saw Jiaji, they immediately saluted and greeted them.
"Brother Bacchus, your lounge is in the upper fortress, and in the afternoon the people are all together, and the marshal will hold a meeting."
Bacchus nodded and went to the second floor of the Upper Fortress, where they met another acquaintance: the blind man smiled.
So, the three of them talked about the situation in a small living room, and then went back to the lounge.
Several guys on the island didn't restrain their momentum at all, as if announcing their existence.
One on the upper fort, three on the right fort, no, two more.
Bacchus quietly leaned over with his telekinesis, and the one with him was a red dog, presumably demonstrating to the fortress on the right.
In the conference room on the second floor of the fortress on the right, Lieutenant General Tsuru, and six people from the Seven Martial Seas were in a meeting.
Blackbeard is not there at the moment, and the empress Hancock is confronting Jinping at this time, listening to Hancock's words, Bacchus's heart warms, and the two are arguing over Bacchus.
Retracted his mental power, and probed the left fortress again, which was mostly filled with admiral-level officers.
Karp and Sengoku are not there, it should be on another island, the one behind the main island, there is no connection to the main island, and it is the former site of the Tower of Justice, where a fortress was also built.
It is indeed good that the World Government chose this place as a battlefield.
The island is surrounded by waterfalls and an abyss underneath.
Originally, there was an iron fence outside the waterfall to prevent boats from accidentally falling into the abyss, but now that the iron fence is gone, the surrounding boats cannot get too close, otherwise they will be pushed into the waterfall by the current.
This means that the pirate ships must attack from the main port.
And most importantly, Ace's execution table is on the island, and if Whitebeard pushes too hard, the connection of the main island is easy to break.
"How will the Whitebeard Pirates appear this time?"
……
At lunch, Bacchus, Peach Rabbit, Gaji, and Yixiao got together for a while.
Peach Rabbit's injuries were completely healed, and if there was a scar, Bacchus didn't dare to ask or scan, so he could only wait to find a suitable scar removal item and send it over later.
At 1 p.m., everyone gathered in the large conference room.
Sengoku presided over the meeting, and his old partners Karp and Tsuru were there, and then the three generals of Yellow Ape, Akainu, and Pheasant, four Bacchus, and another man and a woman.
The two Bacchus were completely strangers, and it was certain that one of them was not a future green cow.
Fortunately, before the Sengoku meeting, Bacchus, Yixiao, and the other two were introduced.
Dark Horse (Sky Sound): Black suit, lapel shirt, sunglasses, meticulously combed hair, about the same age as Akainu. He is about three meters tall and holds the rank of lieutenant general.
White Snake (Alice): Black tight leather pants, black high heels, also a lieutenant general. With a golden ponytail, her eyes are full of charm, but she feels like a black mamba.
It's hard to say how old she is, she looks about the same as Peach Rabbit, and she's also a big beauty, about 2 meters tall.
The specific position department of this woman has not been introduced, and it is thought to be a relatively secret department in the navy.
When Sengoku introduced Bacchus, White Snake also looked at Bacchus for a while.
Bacchus didn't use his mental power, only his own perception, and he had a rough estimate of the strength of the dark horse and the white snake.
Both of them are similar to Jiaji, stronger than Peach Rabbit, a proper general-level combat power, and both are Devil Fruit abilities.
Tsk, I don't know if there is still a hidden power in the Navy?
There should be, Bacchus doesn't believe the Navy didn't keep his hand.
……
"Whitebeard's main force is currently gone, and the intelligence services have not tracked it down. After its pirate group rushed through the Devil's Triangle, it has been intercepted by the interception force layer by layer, and it has now dispersed. ”
"According to the interception force report, only ten pirate ships have entered the surrounding waters, and the rest are still exchanging fire with the interception force."
"Thirteen enemy ships have been sunk so far."
……
Bacchus didn't speak the whole time, listening to the intelligence of the Sengoku and thinking about other things, the loss of the navy, the death of the pirates under Whitebeard, he didn't care.
He was thinking about another important thing, the people of the Observation Mission couldn't just be him and laugh, right?
That's too little.
If the world government does not intervene, he will not believe it, and it is estimated that someone invited by the world government will come.
……
The night was not peaceful, and Bacchus often heard the sound of phone bugs ringing.
The next morning, breakfast was delivered by the soldiers, along with a newspaper.
The newspapers covered a lot of the naval battle between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates.
From the strength of both sides, the losses of both sides, all aspects are introduced in detail.
It also promotes how the navy bravely annihilated the enemy, and there are several touching stories in it.
"I guess it's a draft provided by the Navy."
The results in the newspapers are true, and as the Warring States said at yesterday's meeting, when it comes to naval warfare, the navy does have the upper hand.
The warships, artillery, and guns are better than the pirates, plus they are at ease, and there are brother ships that can quickly support them.
In addition, the commanders of warships have all attended the headquarters military academy, and the systematic education in ship command and combat is not a little bit stronger than that of Ye Luzi.
Some of the 43 pirates under Whitebeard's command may have good personal strength, but if they don't have the ability to destroy warships from a distance, they are not far from being destroyed.
The Navy's interception forces this time were all led by Rear Admiral Vice Admiral, and their individual strength was not weak.
And on the Isle of Justice, there is only Lieutenant General of the Demon Slayer Order.
Therefore, it is not unusual for the Navy to achieve such results.
This is one of the reasons why the navy is still the supremacy of the sea, and naval warfare is their strength.
Don't look at the strength of the Four Emperors, if you really want to fight hard with the navy at sea, it will definitely be the pirates who will suffer.
The Navy soldiers were afraid of Whitebeard and the powerful captains.
……
The boiling of ordinary people all over the world over the great victory of the naval battle also calmed down some young people who had not gone to sea.
Reilly and the others passed the newspaper and looked at it, but they all fell silent.
Doflamingo, who stayed on Justice Island, thought about the role of the Navy bazooka, and wondered if he should produce a batch and sell it for a good price.
At 8 a.m., Navy soldiers began to plant large direct phone bugs on the island.
There are still 2 hours left before Ace's execution begins.
And Ace has not yet appeared, the main force of the Whitebeard Pirates has not appeared, and the old crew members of the Roger Pirates have not appeared.
Only the Navy is preparing in an orderly manner.
Of course, the naval battle in the waters around Justice Island continues, and the navy is still encircling and suppressing the pirates under Whitebeard.
At this point, Bacchus met with three other members of the Mission:
A bald old man with a black mustache, more than 2 meters tall, very strong, but with a warm smile on his face, what makes people care the most is his light green big hat, and there are also two big words of justice on the back.
There are epaulettes, similar to those of an admiral.
Bacchus guesses that he is a mysterious army general, because there is also a man in a sky blue suit and a sky blue coat.
He wore a shawl with curly blond hair and a pair of large sunglasses, with a relatively indifferent expression.
So this is the Air Force?
Bacchus was very curious about the information about the two, but no one told them.
As for the last one, Bacchus didn't bother to guess, who else could there be besides CP0 in a white suit and a white mask.
The five sat in a small conference room, silent, waiting for the execution to begin.
……
In the capital of seven waters, a broken sea train with only two carriages left left the station, leaving unconscious people in the station.
