Chapter 499: Navy! Sortie!

As the largest prison in the pirate world, Advance City, located in the windless zone, has not had a single escape since its establishment.

Whether it is the naval warships stationed and guarding, or the prison guards, they are the elite of the world government, and even if there are individual special powerhouses among the pirates or 'rebels' serving prison sentences, they cannot escape under such strict supervision.

More importantly, the special geographical location of the Advance City - even if they escape from the cells on the lower floors of the Advance City, they still have to face the windless belt and the Sea Kings surrounding the Advance City, and if there is no fleet to answer them, they will not be able to leave, and the final fate will only be captured or even killed on the spot in the subsequent suppression.

Therefore, although the navy in charge of the maritime defense of the Advance City looked very serious and nervous, they were actually very relaxed - after all, there had been no prison escape incident in the Advance City so far, let alone an attack from the periphery.

Although the various special regulations and requirements for the garrison of the navy can be regarded as very strict, after a long time, the navy has still found many opportunities to exploit loopholes.

For example, taking advantage of the patrol opportunity to sneak out of the windless zone and 'fish' on the great route.

Of course, as the navy that floats on the sea all day long, they are not interested in the fish in the sea, and the only ones who can let them exert their subjective initiative are those merchant ships passing by the route or the pirates who happen to encounter them after falling into blood mold - this is the 'big fish' in the eyes of the navy!

……

"Command Hanzo, the First Legion is all ready!"

After several days of preparation and adaptive training, the First Army under the command of Sanshoyu Hanzo finally waited for the right time to fight.

"Today is a rare ...... of good weather"

Sanshoyu Hanzo stood on the deck and looked at the sky, when the lead clouds were dense and the thunder was blowing, just as the storm was coming.

If it is an old-fashioned sail warship, this kind of weather will naturally have a great impact on combat effectiveness, but for the dynastic naval fleet powered by boiler crews, the only trouble is that the sea surface is too windy and rough, which may affect the accuracy of the main guns.

"After the initial encounter, we analyzed the weapons of this world......"

Uchiha Rumbu also walked to the deck, stood behind Sanshoyu Hanzo and said, "Their shipboard weapon uses a special shell with gunpowder as the propulsion, which is very different from our chakra shell, and the rainstorm weather will still affect its combat effectiveness. ”

"I'm not worried about any of this......"

Sanshoyu Hanzo said in a deep voice: "The biggest difficulty lies in the third stage of the operation plan...... landing and clearance warfare."

Uchiha Rumbu also nodded silently.

After all, the real strong will not be killed by artillery bombardment so easily, and if you want to completely capture the advance city, you must finally rely on the marines to enter the advance city to complete the final clearance.

And that's the cruelest!

"But ......"

Hanzo took a deep breath of the sea breeze with a strong fishy smell, "This is the world that a real ninja wants!" ”

"Only courage and merit are deeds, this is something that has never happened in the ninja world!"

"Lunbu-kun, you are still young, and you have not experienced the helplessness and despair of various small ninja villages before the Second Ninja World War......"

Uchiha Rumbu nodded silently.

"The ninja world is too poor, from the Warring States period to the establishment of the current dynasty, the vitality of the whole world has been almost consumed......"

Orochimaru walked out of the shadows and said, "According to the calculations of the Uzumaki clan, if the ninja world does not receive replenishment from the outside world, either the ninja class will disappear, or the ninja group will swell to the extreme and destroy the entire world. ”

"So you want to start a war?"

Uchiha Rumbu was a little surprised.

Although he has always felt that Orochimaru belongs to Frankenstein, he did not expect to be a war fanatic who is even more radical than himself.

"It's not a good thing that there are too many ninjas, especially the unified outtown ninjas."

Orochimaru did not have any scruples about Sanshoyu Hanzo, who was born in the Rain Ninja Village, when he spoke: "Therefore, the conquest of the Pirate World is not only to plunder resources, but more importantly, to consume the remnants of the old era. ”

Sanshoyu Hanzo's face did not change, and he even nodded slightly-because in his mind, Rain Ninja Village, which has always been the source of mercenaries from the Shogunate, is actually the same as Wuyin, belonging to the general existence of the 'Outer Domain', so compared with those Outer Village ninjas, he still has a certain psychological advantage.

"Dean Orochimaru, you're a little too aggressive!"

Uchiha Rumbu couldn't help but shake his head.

"Rumbu-kun, it's you, the Uchiha from a radical background, who is too conservative!"

Orochimaru also unceremoniously pointed out: "It even gives people a feeling of being too indecisive, I really don't know how you got a foothold among the radicals." ”

As the only Uchiha ninja in the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Rumbu was speechless.

"So, Commander Hanzo, in this war, do you understand why His Majesty transferred the four additional wings of the Fourth Army?"

Orochimaru didn't pay any attention to Uchiha Rumbu, but said to Sanshoyu Hanzo: "Although the First Army is attached to the Marine Brigade, it is the heart and soul of the Dynasty Navy, if the battle damage is excessive, the naval system may have complaints in the future......"

"I don't need you to teach me this kind of thing!"

Sanshoyu Hanzo snorted coldly, very dissatisfied with the tone of the former subordinate defeated Orochimaru.

But......

Sanshoyu Hanzo thought about it, maybe this is the reason why Uchiha Tokumitsu specially assigned Orochimaru to the First Legion......

Thinking of this, Sanshoyu Hanzo also became a little calmer.

"By the way, are the battle flags for camouflage ready?"

Sanshoyu Hanzo staggered the topic.

"It's ready, it's the same flag as the Advance Fleet, it's the same flag of the Fog Hidden Pirates."

Uchiha Rumbu replied immediately.

"In terms of speed, they should be almost in the East China Sea, so let's prepare to sail!"

Sanshoyu Hanzo looked at the boarding situation, and then ordered: "Next, it's time for our tactical performance!" ”

……

Navy Headquarters Marin Ford.

There was a fierce quarrel in the Supreme Chamber of Justice.

The three major generals of the headquarters, Sengoku, Sakarsky, and Kuzan, sat high on the throne, allowing the major generals and lieutenant generals of their respective factions in the audience to quarrel non-stop.

"I still firmly believe that building a ship is the only way out!"

A rear admiral said menacingly: "As a navy, the warship is not even as good as a mere pirate, what kind of navy is that!" ”

"That's not right! In the end, it's a matter of people! It is necessary to expand the army, and funds must be used to strengthen the training of naval troops! ”

As a lieutenant general and recruit coach of the headquarters, Monchi Β· D. Karp retorted angrily regardless of the difference in identity: "Now that the navy is degenerate and decayed, and even the six types can't comprehend a bit of the essence, even if they have a good warship, it's for nothing!" ”

"You're all wrong! The top priority is to exterminate the Fog Hidden Pirates who dare to challenge the authority of our navy! ”

Another major general also ignored the difference in rank and seniority and hurled at Iron Fist Karp: "Although Lieutenant General Karp is right, we can't afford to drag it out!" And it's too old-fashioned! ”

The implication is that Lieutenant General Karp's thinking is too old and even out of date.

"You have a bunch of trash under your command that even pirates can't beat, so you're embarrassed to come out and fart!"

Vice Admiral Karp immediately grabbed the pigtails and began to slam them: "It can be seen from this that the battleship theory is not advisable!" ”

"But they're all trained by you, I'm just a conductor!"

The major general said without changing his face.

"This is the lack of funds that leads to insufficient training, and ultimately leads to the decline of the strength of the navy year by year!"

Vice Admiral Karp, who was fighting alone, turned his head to the three admirals above and said, "The three admirals understand, we can't continue to let the navy degenerate!" ”

"A waste who doesn't even have the strength to scold his mother is not qualified to drive a warship!"

The generals and colonels of the "Battleship Faction" and the "Quick Victory Faction" who had just debated with Lieutenant General Karp about dozens of rendezvous were suddenly so angry that they were smoking!

"The will of Mary Joya in the Holy Land is to quickly put an end to the Misty Pirates and eliminate their negative influences......"

After the three generals looked at each other, Sakasky, known as 'Akainu', was the first to speak.

"The purpose of today's general meeting is to integrate the wisdom of the people, not to let you engage in factional struggle!"

"But!"

Sakasky looked around at the group of lieutenant generals and major generals, and everywhere he looked, everyone except for the general staff officer Lieutenant General Crane bowed their heads.

"You've let me down so much!"

"Of course, we also understand the diligence of all the generals......"

Another general, Kuzan, said with a little yin and yang weirdness: "Just grasp a degree, otherwise there will be no good end!" ”

"Justice must be followed through to the end, otherwise there is no point."

The Sengoku General made the final tone: "The Fog Hidden Pirates must be destroyed!" The battleship side also needs to be strengthened! ”

Lieutenant General Karp in the audience immediately became a little anxious.

"Also, according to the instructions of Mary Joya in the Holy Land, please ask Vice Admiral Karp to organize the world conscription, and if there is a strong person who is willing to join the navy, the highest rank can be directly awarded to the rank of rear admiral!"

As soon as the words came out, there was an uproar.

But given the majesty of the Sengoku generals and the reverence for them, no one dared to jump out against them – and there was no point in doing so.

"Last night...... The branch of the East China Sea sent back a notice, saying that a large number of ships of the Fog Hidden Pirates had been found in the waters of the East China Sea countries......"

Sakasky continued: "And this time, maybe it's no longer a simple raid! ”

"There is a high probability that the kingdom will be conquered and the territory will be divided."

General Kuzan then said.

"Therefore, maintaining order is the top priority!"

The Sengoku General set the tone again.

The lieutenant generals and major generals in the audience bowed in unison, indicating that all actions would be under command.

"Demon Slayer Order!"

General Sakasky's mouth burst out with murderous words.

"East China Sea Region!"

General Kuzan said with a blank face.

"The headquarters and the branch will act together to wipe out all the pirates who have disturbed the paradise!"

The Warring States General said coldly.

"But our warships are far inferior to the Fog Hidden Pirates......"

A lieutenant general with an extraordinary background muttered.

He belongs to a staunch supporter of the theory of victory in battleships, and in addition, he was born in the shipbuilding industry as the pillar of the capital of seven waters, and belongs to a typical stakeholder group; It's just that now it seems that the generals of the headquarters are more focused on the achievements of exterminating the pirates or are anxious to do something to deal with the Holy Land Mary Joy, so they all set their sights on the 'perpetrators' - the so-called Fog Hidden Pirates!

"I know how to build ships all day long, if I wait for the new warships to be built and then exterminate the pirates, it is estimated that the paradise will become a new world!"

Lieutenant General Karp was still not convinced, although he was refuting the lieutenant general of the shipbuilding faction, but he was also sarcastic about the three generals on the stage: "I don't know how to do things at all, I have to grasp the fundamentals, and I always pay attention to some irrelevant side details!" ”

General Kuzan, who had the hottest temper, couldn't help frowning.

"Or else...... Lieutenant General Karp, it's up to you to carry out this massacre order! ”

General Sakasky took off the cigar he had been holding in his mouth, highlighting a thick fog, and then looked at the other two generals whose expressions had not changed, so he continued: "This time, we must give full play to the spirit of the Battle of Locks and wipe out the bold and reckless Fog Hidden Pirates!" ”

"And you have to remember - the Demon Slayer Order leaves no one alive! There is no place for these scumbags in Advance City! ”

"I'm willing to take orders!"

Lieutenant General Karp stood up and saluted unequivocally, but his eyes were on the Sengoku General, who held the final decision.

"Go for it......"

The Sengoku Admiral finally nodded, "Go and prove the courage of the Navy!" To prove that there is nothing to be afraid of in the gap in the battleship! To prove the noblest treasure of the Navyβ€”"

"Courage and justice!"

The lieutenant generals and major generals in the audience shouted in unison.

……

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Recently, the pursuit of the Navy has been getting stronger and stronger! ”

On the surface of the East China Sea, on the Wuyin flagship that was anchoring and resting, Loquat Shizang, who had not made progress in the matter of recruiting security, sighed.

Since defeating the naval fleet and plundering the treasure ships, it didn't take long for the majestic Loquat Shizo to fall into trouble again.

First, out of nowhere, a large number of pretenders with the banner of 'Fog Hidden Pirates' appeared and wreaked havoc everywhere in the East China Sea, and then the naval branches stationed in various places chased them everywhere like mad dogs.

And the loquat Shizo, who had suffered too much loss, was unwilling to use the little strength in his hand by hard encounter, so he adopted the tactics of avoiding the battle and protecting the ship, and continued to circle with the navy.

And those despicable people under the banner of 'Fog Hidden Pirates' not only continued to burn and loot, causing the reputation of True Fog to be discredited, but also were wiped out by the mad dog-like navy.

However, the navy may be fighting for merit, so they did not distinguish or deliberately conceal the identities of those 'pseudo-foggy pirates', and they all claimed how many branches of the Fog Hidden Pirates they had exterminated in a certain sea area, so as to exaggerate their own military exploits.

As for the navy that hasn't taken advantage of it yet, they are even more crazy to wander around the East China Sea in boats, trying to find the main force of the Fog Hidden Pirates, so as to become famous in a battle.

As a result, the Fog Hidden Fleet fell into passivity due to the avoidance of the war - due to the fact that those 'pseudo Fog Concealment' sent too many heads, the gold content of the battle of the sea route was seriously underestimated, so not only the navy, but even many pirates and even bounty hunters began to search for and snipe the expatriates of the Fog Hidden Ninja in various places!

Now, even if he has a large amount of gold and silver treasures in his hands, Loquat Shizang has no chance to exchange them for materials to increase his own strength!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Let's fight again! ”

The Fukasaku Immortal pondered for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "If you beat them in one breath, those naval barbarians are willing to sit down and listen to us!" ”

"Otherwise, the emissaries we sent out will only have their heads chopped off and taken to receive their rewards!"

"If there is too much battle damage......"

Loquat Shizang was still a little hesitant.

"Let's strike together!"

Fukasaku Immortal said categorically: "We must once again annihilate a naval fleet in full view of everyone, so that they can truly understand our awesomeness!" ”

"Otherwise, there will be no peace if it goes on like this!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Let me think again. ”

Loquat Shizo still couldn't make a decision.

After all, that's all he has in his hands. (End of chapter)
