Chapter 185: The Navy's Deliberations
"Akainu, you're back!" Admiral Sengoku asked a little anxiously: "What about Zefa, how is his current situation?" ”
"Teacher Zefa is now in the Naval Hospital, and the other two recruits are now being sent to the emergency treatment!"
After listening to Sengoku's words, the muscles on Akainu's face twitched, but he still answered honestly.
This time the rescue operation was not only unsuccessful, but also took all his subordinates, and Akainu only felt shameless and resentful in his heart.
"What the hell is going on? Akainu, let's tell me the details now! ”
At this time, the naval staff officer Crane spoke calmly, and a cold light flashed faintly in his eyes.
Akainu nodded, and then spoke directly, although he was only fighting with Mino, and did not see the battle between Zefa and Edward Wibull, but when the rescue ships came to search for them later, he also learned what happened from Zefa's mouth.
At this time, Akainu told everything he knew, including how he met Minoan and fought with him, Zefa was seriously ill and exhausted, and his arm was cut off by Weibull, and Barjin was sniped to death, triggering Weibull's rage, killing all the people on the Akainu ship, and finally Zefa escaped by destroying the ship.
Sengoku, Tsuru, and even Karp were very serious, and after listening to Akainu's detailed explanation, then, Sengoku knocked on the table as if unconsciously, thought for a moment, and said:
"Do you think there will be any connection between Edward Wilbull and Ziyan Mino?"
It's no wonder that Sengoku has such doubts, after all, the timing is too coincidental, and the battle between Minoan and Akainu, whether it starts or ends, is completely clueless, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it is deliberately delaying time.
Although this is indeed a coincidence, for the Sengoku and the Navy, they do not think so.
Hearing this, Akainu frowned, recalling his experience of fighting Mino, but he didn't find any flaws.
"I can't be sure of this, I can only be sure of one thing: the strength of that Three-Eyed Pirate has increased again! He's learned to overlord the color coil, and without summoning that fire dragon, it's enough to tie me out,"
"This guy will definitely become a big problem for the entire navy in the future!"
Sengoku rubbed his eyebrows in distress, "Even if you say so, we don't have the extra combat power to deal with this guy." ”
"Especially since he still has the ability to fly, and he doesn't have his own pirate group to drag him down, let alone find a way to catch it, even if it is difficult to find his traces!"
"Didn't the World Government find him either?" Lieutenant General Tsuru had a thoughtful look on his face, and suddenly spoke.
"No, that guy is out of nowhere, and agents from the World Government have never found him." Sengoku had a distressed expression.
"That's weird...... Red hair should be a very conspicuous feature, and even if he covers his third eye, it shouldn't even have a clue. ”
"Unless ......, he also has a secret base in the sky or something, or has he been relying on some special abilities to disguise his identity?"
"This ......" the look of distress on Sengoku's face was even worse, "Secret base...... Could it be an empty island? ”
As the supreme marshal of the navy in charge of the entire sea, the Warring States are obviously well aware of the various secrets on the sea, but knowing is knowing, understanding is understanding, and the navy does not have any forces on the empty island.
"Flying guys, it's so annoying!" At first, they were listening attentively, but Karp, who had gradually become impatient, interrupted their discussion.
"Can't we also find some guys who can fly? Speaking of which, there are too many of those sea pirates who can fly, right? ”
Isn't it? Warring States and the others are counted on their fingers, the aunt can manipulate the thunderclouds to fly with the soul fruit, needless to say the fluttering fruit of the golden lion, and the green dragon fruit owned by Kaido can also fly, and now add a mino.
Of the six top sea pirates, four can fly, and in comparison, the navy is too far to cross.
Sengoku, Karp, Zefa, and the older navy of the previous generation are all small and short-legged, so it's no wonder that they drove those pirates for a lifetime, but they still didn't achieve anything.
The new generation of admirals, although the yellow ape is extremely fast, he can only rely on elementalization to act in the air, and air combat is not the strength of the flash fruit, because after the materialization, the yellow ape can only rely on the moon step.
Needless to say, when fighting Mino, this time, if it weren't for the fact that there was an underground volcano in the sea area where he was located, then he promised to run away when he saw Mino on the sea!
After all, the magma fruit is restrained by the seawater to a degree that is far above that of ordinary devil fruits, and the defects in this regard are no weaker than the sand fruit and the burn fruit!
The pheasant is the best, and when the frozen fruit is chasing at sea, it can be said that it can restrain all the pirates who can't fly, but in the face of the pirates who have the ability to fly, they can only look at the sky and sigh.
However, Karp's words reminded Sengoku at once.
"The ability to fly? I remember that guy Gaji, didn't he bring an old friend to chase the golden lion last time? ”
"You mean the Gravitational Fruit Ability!? You want to recruit him into the Navy? Sengoku, it's not an easy thing to do, is it? ”
Lieutenant General Tsuru said with some surprise.
Generally, it is difficult for this kind of strong person with strength to join the navy, and with the strength of the other party, he definitely does not want to start from a small soldier, and even if it is the marshal of the navy of the Warring States, it is impossible to skip the rank and promote too much, at most he can only give a colonel position in the headquarters first.
Second, after all, the navy is not a group like pirates that only looks at combat effectiveness, although the most important thing is also combat effectiveness, but there are also some requirements for other aspects, and it is actually difficult for those who join halfway to get trust and rise to a high position.
The Great Navy World Recruitment in the original book, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the world government took advantage of the opportunity of the change of the Navy to mix sand into it, otherwise, there are obviously two admiral candidates in the navy, why do you want to promote two new admirals?
The combat effectiveness has been improved, but the cohesion of the navy has also been sparse, and just by looking at how the original resolute and tough Akainu was forced to go crazy by the two new admirals, you can see the problems of the navy at that time.
Sengoku frowned and said: "This is indeed not an easy task, but the navy must also have a certain amount of air power, not to mention the rest, the threat of the golden lion is still there!" ”
Speaking of the golden lion, there was a sudden silence in the conference room, the golden lion without a cerebral infarction was too difficult to deal with, especially for the navy and the world government.
"Since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything more."
Lieutenant General Tsuru nodded, "But that kind of person should be difficult to recruit!" ”
Sengoku crossed his chin with his hands crossed and put on a confident expression, his mustache combed in the shape of a braid was wrapped around his hands.
"I've already thought about it, I can become friends with Jiaji, and I am even willing to help Jiaji deal with the dangerous golden lion, that person with gravity fruit ability, whether it is strength or character, should be enough to believe."
"If he is willing to join the Navy, I will give him the rank of Colonel and promise to make him Vice Admiral within a year!"
The people present did not mean to object, although the vice admiral was already a high-ranking officer second only to the admiral, but not to mention anything else, a strategic-level gravity fruit alone was worth such a high status.
Not to mention that the Gravity Fruit Possessor had also faced the Golden Lion directly, although none of you here knew the battle situation at that time, but just because the Gravity Fruit Capable Person did not lack arms or legs afterwards, you can see his combat effectiveness.
……
"Strange, why did the causal point skyrocket inexplicably?"
On the desert island, Mino scratched his head, feeling a little strange.
"Boss Mino, the ship is ready!"
Far away, the loud Edward Wibull shouted, and behind him, there was a huge raft more than 20 meters long and wide.
It's also thanks to all the trees in the pirate world, they all grow savagely and are huge, otherwise it would not be easy to build such a raft on a desert island.
As for the wreckage of the original plank boat, it has now been converted into a large oar, so that it is almost enough to go to sea.
Ordinary people rely on this thing to go to sea to naturally find death, but for the strong on the sea, it is just a convention to go to sea on a raft.
"Now that it's done, let's go to sea!" Mino nodded, and turned to look at Edward Wibull, who lifted the entire ship and threw it overboard.
If this were to be replaced by ordinary people, even if it was a large canoe, it would probably have to dig a ditch to drain the water before it could be pushed into the sea.
And the canoe can only drift freely on the sea, and the oars are basically dispensable.
But if it's a pirate powerhouse......
Seeing Weibull sitting on the raft, the back of the raft was full of collected food, he raised the oars, first wrapped the ordinary wooden oars with armed color domineering, and then began to row wildly.
With a bang, a monstrous wave broke off behind the raft, and the entire raft shot out like a sharp arrow, several times faster than the fastest speedboat, and it is estimated that even the most advanced warship in the navy will be difficult to catch up.
"The next target is the South China Sea, I'll show the way!"
Sitting on the raft, Mino scanned the surroundings with clairvoyance, and at the same time, he had an idea in his heart.
"It's almost time to have a base area, hurry up and control all the naval divisions in the four seas!"
There was a big fuss again, and Mino estimated that the navy and the world government would definitely not give up so easily, although they couldn't find their own place, but they couldn't find anything, which was a clue in itself.
Therefore, it is better to complete the rest of the things as soon as possible, otherwise if the ability to draw skin is discovered, then many things will not be easy to do in the future.
In this sea, the fastest way to get there, except for some Devil Fruits, is the manual displacement of these top powerhouses.
For example, Reilly's swimming, Hawkeye's personal boat, Pheasant's ice bike ......, and Weibull's raft are obviously not too slow.
In just two days, the two of them had already entered the windless zone from the Great Voyage, and even re-entered the territory of the Amazon lily.
Nine Snake Island.
Since the last time Boyahan Cook opened up about his experience, the atmosphere in the entire Nine Snakes Island has changed a lot.
The first is that Hancock's brain-dead fans are even more brain-dead, and everywhere he goes, he shouts at Snake Princess-although it used to be like this, but at least no one faints, and now when Hancock comes forward, he often faints.
The second is that Nine Snake Island originally did not have much hostility towards the outside world and the world government, and was basically a closed pirate country, but now, these female warriors of Amazon Lily have completely regarded the world government and the Celestial Dragon people as their enemies.
Of course, there is also a good side, under pressure, especially when Hancock himself is also training hard every day, the female warriors of Nine Snake Island have also begun to train themselves more harshly, and their strength has improved to a certain extent under the high-intensity training.
Just today, Hancock, who was exercising, saw a purple meteor streak across the sky, and suddenly stopped moving.
"What's wrong, sister? What's the matter? Sandasonia asked, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"Oh, our benefactor is here." Hancock opened his mouth and said, "You've just done that kind of big thing, so you're here to avoid the limelight?" ”
"Done something big?" Mary Gorud remembered the news on the news bird yesterday, and her face was a little surprised: "Is it a Minorn?" ”
After the battle with Akainu, Mino's bounty increased significantly, and although it was not known if there was any connection between Minoan and Edward Wibull, the navy still regarded the two as a gang.
In this way, Mino's work is big, and even Zefa's broken arm can be counted as his share, although the newspaper said that Hanhuhu, but Zefa's broken arm can't be hidden from others, and the navy also gave a serious injury.
According to the Navy and the World Government, it was Minnot and Edward Wibull who used a conspiracy to attack Zefa's naval training camp ship, causing heavy casualties and seriously injuring the former admiral.
As for the size of the casualties, the severity of the injuries, and the battle between Mino and Akainu, he didn't mention anything, as if Minoan and Weibull had joined forces to win Zefa.
However, after this battle, Mino's bounty increased again, and now he has finally reached the threshold of 3 billion.
In terms of the current era, 3 billion Bailey has almost entered the threshold of the Four Emperors, of course, because Mino has not yet gone to the New World, and has the background of the Charlotte Pirates, so the so-called Five Emperors have not yet come out.
"It's not just Mino, that guy should be the so-called Whitebeard II as the newspaper said!"
"It's really the same beard as Whitebeard!"
At this moment, Mary Gorud, who was already able to see the person coming, said with some surprise.
