Chapter 527: Chance Meeting
The news of the defeat of the Navy and the disappearance of the Admiral spread throughout the East China Sea as the deep-sea rebels captured the town of Shelds and swept the islands in one fell swoop!
Lieutenant General Karp, who had originally carefully planned the plan to outflank and cover up, was even more like five thunderbolts after learning of this bad news, and the whole world began to turn black and white as far as his eyes could see!
Although the navy under the command of the yellow ape is not very elite, and it is much inferior to Vice Admiral Karp's current subordinates, it is also a formal naval soldier in any case, and its combat power is even higher than the stinky fish and rotten shrimp of the naval branches in various places, and it is also the only mobile force that the naval headquarters can draw out in the current crisis-ridden environment!
After losing this force, unless the navy resolutely implements strategic contraction and takes the initiative to abandon some branches to regain military strength, it will fall into an even more unsustainable dilemma!
Therefore, Vice Admiral Karp gave up squeezing the advance fleet in the windless zone and chose to retreat back to the base with the whole army.
The Uchiha Shiina, who witnessed the retreat of Vice Admiral Karp's troops, did not attempt to pursue the Ouroboros, but recalled the cruiser fleet that was carrying out a roundabout sneak attack by telegram, and closed the fleet and began to stabilize the rear, thus inadvertently avoiding an ambush because he was not greedy for merit.
This is not because Uchiha Shiina is unwilling to actively expand his territory, but because the investment of troops has reached the limit.
Now, with the battle in the waters of Dong Island, most of the East China Sea has become a terra nullius waiting to be taken over by the ninja army, and even the Republic Alliance established by the Asura has completed another round of expansion in the process, taking the Organ Islands and increasing the number of republics to as many as seventeen.
As for the other revolutionary army, it completely occupied the Moonlight Islands when the yellow ape entered the waters of the Four Leaves Island, and at this time it was across the sea from the Republic camp established by Asura.
However, after learning about the general situation of the Battle of Dongdao, the commander of the revolutionary army, Meng Qi · D. Ryu couldn't help but feel extremely jealous of the Asura who was the 'spiritual leader of the East China Sea Revolution'.
As for the reason why he was able to understand the battle of Dong Island, which had been tightly sealed by the world government, the main reason was from the one-armed man in front of him who was feasting-
"Are you sure? Are the Deep-Sea Rebels really the remnants of the ancient Giant Kingdom? ”
Monchi S. D. Dragon's tone was full of disbelief, and he asked the pale yellow ape again.
The yellow ape just nodded, and then continued to gobble down on food.
Escaping from Don Island is not an easy task for him, and it will be an experience that he will remember for the rest of his life.
After elementalizing the body, after frantically squeezing the power of the Devil Fruit, it burst out at an extremely fast speed and flew close to the surface of the sea, which is the application method of the Devil Fruit that the Yellow Ape sprouted in a hurry.
And this also confirms the statement that 'there are no useless Devil Fruits, only those who can't use them'.
After experiencing this 'great terror between life and death', the yellow ape's cognition and understanding of the sparkling fruit was also able to reach a higher level, but it was ......
After gnawing the stick bone in his hand, the unfinished yellow ape put the bone into his mouth and bit it hard, devouring it as if it were eating a fairy shell.
He habitually intended to take another leg of lamb with his left hand, but then he reacted again - he had lost his left arm permanently!
"Can't be recovered?"
Monchi S. D. Long asked casually.
But then he felt that this was very undeserved.
"I can't."
The yellow ape paused slightly, rubbed it with his right hand, shook off the bone residue in his palm, and then picked up a roast leg of lamb again and gnawed it.
Monchi S. D. Long didn't say anything more, just silently looked at the yellow ape who was eating frantically.
The yellow ape was picked up by accident.
After the overthrow of the remnants of the Organ Islands' Confederate regimes, the ambitious Monchi Lodge was a proud man. D. Ryu was about to head to the waters of Yotsubashima and plan to open a sea route to the Moonlight Islands when he accidentally spotted an unfamiliar "acquaintance" on the beach - the yellow ape's left shoulder was indeed roasted.
At the time of picking up the yellow ape, he was already in a near-death state.
Although Monchi · D. Long's relationship with his father Karp is always a bit mysterious due to his own ambitions, but he also learns the basic information and appearance characteristics of some of his colleagues in the Navy who have a relatively good relationship with Karp, and Yellow Ape is his unmasked but long-admiring acquaintance.
So, Monchi After hesitating for a while, D. Long finally gave up the idea of marching, first strictly ordered his subordinates to keep silent, and then arranged for the ship's doctor to rescue the yellow ape.
As for where the yellow ape's injuries came from, Monchi · D. Long didn't ask directly, and Yellow Ape didn't say directly, but after a round of seemingly dumb riddle conversations, Meng Qi · D. Long already had a basic understanding of the battle situation.
To be honest, he never expected the Republic camp to be involved with the 'Deep Sea Rebels'.
And the Fog Hidden Pirates that once ravaged the East China Sea turned out to be an outpost of the Deep Sea Rebels, which he didn't expect.
As for the result of the defeat of the navy and the serious injury of the admiral, he never expected it.
That's the Navy!
Although since the formation of the revolutionary army, Monchi · D. Long knew that sooner or later he would face off against the Navy, but he didn't want it to be now.
Because whether it is for the Revolutionary Army or the Pirates of Paradise, the Navy is a nightmare giant.
But...... The Navy is defeated!
This is not explained by the fact that Munchi D. Long didn't believe it, after all, the yellow ape, one of the three major admirals of the Navy Headquarters, was in front of him.
Moreover, as the yellow ape bites, the bandage on its left shoulder began to overflow with bright red blood under the pull of the vigorous exercise.
This is the wound on the left shoulder of the yellow ape that has cracked again......
In the process of emergency treatment by the ship's doctor, he had a relationship with Meng Qi · D. Long said that the wound of the yellow ape is the poisonous place of the remaining power, which is not only constantly burning the power and even life force of the yellow ape, but also penetrates deep into the bone marrow over time, until a strong person is completely burned into a waste.
Of course, this does not mean that this strange power does not have a nemesis, although the ship's methods are more watery, but judging by his experience, it can be completely worn out by his own power - if the external force forcibly interferes, it may cause the wound to worsen.
It's just that the yellow ape that has just woken up really doesn't have the strength to wipe out the assassination of the residual strength before eating.
Thinking of this, Monchi D. Long couldn't help but have a little faith in the Yellow Ape's 'Great Kingdom Remnant Theory'.
After all, except for the former dynasties, which have long been lost to history, the whole world has never heard of such a strange power system.
In particular, the super giant energy ball that the yellow ape briefly mentioned before that can annihilate an entire fleet made Meng Qi · D. Long is reminded of the so-called 'secret weapon' in the hands of the world government.
Although it doesn't sound as mysterious as the rumored World Government's 'secret weapon', this is normal, after all, the Giant Kingdom was destroyed by the Twenty-Nation Alliance, the predecessor of the World Government, so it is reasonable that there is a generational gap in this kind of weapon......
"The wound on your left shoulder ......"
As the blood stains on the bandages on the yellow ape's body became more and more obvious, and the bloody aura became more and more intense. D. Long finally couldn't help but speak, "Now that you have recovered some of your strength, let's deal with it quickly!" ”
"Well...... this"
The yellow ape looked at the wound on his left shoulder indifferently, and then said leisurely: "It just so happens that the energy of the wound can allow the scientific troops to conduct research and solve the ......."
As if something was stuck in his throat, the yellow ape did not continue, but buried his head in eating again.
He suddenly remembered that Vegapunk, the great scientist of the Science Army, as well as a group of special researchers and the bodyguard Sentomaru, had all disappeared in the Battle of Don Island......
If it falls to the energy ball attack, then it's okay to say, but if it is captured, then the navy and even the world government will be in some trouble.
Thinking of this, the yellow ape suddenly felt that the food in his hand was not fragrant.
"I remember that Zefa's predecessors once replaced the mutilated right arm with an iron arm crusher......"
Monchi S. D. Long was relieved again: "Presumably the World Government should have some special technology that can make you ......"
"Arrange a clipper boat for me."
Dropping down the half-gnawed leg of mutton, the yellow ape wiped the oil in his hand on his clothes and said lightly.
“…… Really want to go back? ”
Although it was a little sudden, and he had known the choice of the yellow ape for a long time, Meng Qi · D. Long still asked a routine question.
"Do you think your little trash subordinates can hide me?"
The yellow ape tugged at his lips, and a rare trace of a miserable smile appeared on his face: "I'm already half crippled, and it's time to go to the last day of work and retire dishonorably......"
“…… The defeat of Dongdao Island, I'm afraid the five old stars won't stop there. ”
Monchi S. D. Long kindly reminded, "Aren't you worried about going to Justice Island when the time comes?" ”
"The Navy can't mess up, so I can't die either."
The yellow ape stood up calmly and looked down at Meng Qi · D. Long said: "As long as the remnants of those great kingdoms are still stirring up, then the world government needs the navy to continue to serve the dead, and it needs a loyal benchmark to stand in the headquarters so that more people will die willingly......"
"Besides, what about a remnant of a huge kingdom who has transformed from a rebel army of the deep sea into a great henchman?"
"After the windless zone completely disappears, will there be any meaning for the great shipping route?"
"Who doesn't want to go any further than the strong man who is bound by the environment?"
"Who of the Four Emperors of the New World is not ambitious, and among those eager challengers, which one is not self-sustaining and powerful, and is ready to compete with the World Government?"
After a round of in-depth analysis, as an audience, Meng Qi · D. Long suddenly discovered that under the song and dance of the original world government, there were still so many internal and external troubles hidden!
In this way, there is a lot to be done in the revolution!
But when I think about it, next door to me is definitely the 'remnant of the great kingdom' who will definitely be regarded as a great enemy by the world government and wants to get rid of it as soon as possible!
Behind the republican revolution, are there any ulterior motives hidden by these remnants?
Thinking of this, Monchi D. Dragon's mood has also become extremely bad.
"By the way, I will contact ...... often in the future"
The yellow ape did not continue to ask Meng Qi · Whether D. Long was willing to arrange the Clippers, he walked out the door by himself: "There is some news, Karp probably doesn't want to say, but I don't care. ”
"Got it!"
Monchi S. D. Long nodded.
Isn't it just a boat? What a big deal!
A clipper is nothing compared to having a relatively reliable contact in the Navy from now on!
After the yellow ape walked out of the door, Monchi · D. Long savored the Yellow Ape's words and looked at the world map.
……
There is nothing that the yellow ape has not mentioned, and that is the Advance City.
As one of the three major admirals of the Navy, Kuzan naturally has full access to all the inside stories of the Battle of Dongdao in the East China Sea.
Especially the news that his colleague Yellow Ape was defeated and seriously injured and disabled, it was like a bolt from the blue to him.
As for the inference that the Yellow Ape said that the 'Deep Sea Rebels' were the 'remnants of the Great Kingdom', the treasury felt even more numb.
You know, everything related to the 'blank 100 years' is a taboo among taboos!
But at this time, Kuzan couldn't think about things for so long, and what he was anxious about at this time was the 'Giant Kingdom Rebels' who still maintained the state of besieging and advancing the city!
In the face of this extremely cunning fleet, Kuzan really has nothing to do.
However, the various 'tactical guidance' conveyed from the Navy Headquarters made Kuzan's scalp tingle.
"What do you call it a must annihilate its fleet in a short period of time!"
Kuzan complained and said to Magellan, the governor of the advancing city, "If it is so easy to annihilate this enemy army, who wants to sit here and eat sashimi all day!" ”
In this regard, Magellan could only smile awkwardly and politely.
Supplies to the Advance City have begun to run tight.
With the continuous attacks of the former deep-sea rebels at sea and the remnants of the current huge kingdom, coupled with the problem of the passage capacity of the fast passage after the weakening of the triangular vortex, the supply that the advance city can obtain is becoming less and less, especially after the thrust of the current of the channel is weakened, those supply ships with weak escort force are simply delivering food to those enemy troops!
Over time, the Navy Headquarters was unwilling to continue to lose valuable manpower in vain, so it could only instruct the advancing city and the garrison navy to 'raise their own supplies on the spot'!
But that's easier said than done!
This is the Advance City!
A fortress that hangs over the ocean and is surrounded on all sides by enemy troops!
I can't even loot a suitable place to find a suitable person!
It is a prison organ that has absolutely no independent material production capacity! And whether it is the sailors and sea guards or even those prisons where they are detained, they are all big stomachs!
Therefore, after discussing with Magellan, Kuzan and Magellan could only take advantage of the 'local advantage' to eat the sea by the sea, that is, to start fishing.
At first, the fishing progress was not bad, probably because the sea kings were basically slaughtered, and there were large schools of fish even on the periphery of the city, so the progress at the beginning was relatively smooth.
But then the besieging fleet discovered the movement of the advancing city, and the heavy bombardment interrupted the defenders' self-reliance.
Since open source cannot be achieved, it can only be maintained for a longer period of time by throttling. As a result, not only have the prisons below begun to drastically cut food, but even ordinary sailors and soldiers have gradually implemented rationing, and they can no longer continue to eat and drink.
In addition, because the military needs to be urgently deployed in the East China Sea to save face, the reinforcements that Kuzan has been hoping for have become completely empty talk, but the various combat requests issued by the world government have become more frequent and more absurd, and have reached the point where Kuzan is overwhelmed.
"You'll have to deal with it......"
Magellan also didn't have much to do, so he had to make mud.
Kuzan lifted his forehead and sighed, becoming more and more melancholy. (End of chapter)
