Chapter 401: World Emergency Conference
Wano Country, Shogun Castle, Mansion.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed since the day of destruction.
Yes, because of the bloody red sky of that day, the whole island was shaking as a sign of terror, as if the end was coming, and the people of Wano Country called it the Day of Destruction.
The General's Mansion has been completely transformed into Xia Le's office, and Mitsuki Mita politely gave it up.
Today, the loft of the mansion has a huge navy character hanging on the front, and the iconic anchor mark is engraved on the building.
From the inside to the outside, there are elite navies guarding them.
The people of the Flower City are also accustomed to this scene and don't mind.
Xia Le sat at his desk, staring at the charts and related materials in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly.
Previously, the navy had just entered the New World, and Dressrosa was the new headquarters, taking into account the peculiarities of the island's location.
The nature of the navy determines that its headquarters must be in a geographical location, relatively important, or a place of decisive and representative significance.
Marinfando is adjacent to the Red Earth Continent and forms an arch defense against the Holy Land of Maryjoy, which can be regarded as a line of defense.
But today, the relationship between the Navy and the world government is not very rosy.
Therefore, the location of the new naval headquarters is very important.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk ~"
Xia Le tapped lightly on the table, scanning back and forth between the chart and the text next to it.
"The forces in the new world, the islands are not simple, but very complex."
"And unlike the first half, the power of these islands and kingdoms is relatively stronger, and even some special races have unique talents."
In front of him, Mitsuki Sukiyaki acted as a guide to introduce him.
"Around Wano Country, there are islands or countries such as Hive Island, Lulucia Kingdom, Zou, and Eghead."
"Hive Island, also known as 'Pirates' Paradise, is the birthplace of the pirate game, once occupied by the Rocks Pirates, Blackbeard Marshall Titch."
"Today, under the joint efforts of Rosinandi, Guina, Admiral Bada, as well as Vice Admirals Doflamingo and Moria, it is already in the possession of the Navy."
"The Kingdom of Lulucia is a country that has the power to participate in the World Conference, but the economic situation is generally difficult, and it is said that there is a revolutionary army among them."
Listening to the other party's words, Xia Le was a little surprised.
It was not only surprised that the old man had such well-informed news, but also a familiar word in his words.
"Revolutionary Army?"
Mitsuki Sukiyaki nodded: "Not bad!" β
Recently, he has been staying by Xia Le's side, and with a sincere heart, he wants to do something for this naval marshal with this old body.
Because, through observation, he has thoroughly felt that the navy has great potential, and can even change the dynasty.
Although he is old, for some reason, the moment he told the other party the news of Hades, the blood in his heart seemed to be awakened and began to boil.
He, the former general of Wano Country, Mitsuki Sukiyaki, also wants to make a career!
For this reason, during this time, he inquired about the news through various channels, and took the opportunity of the founding of the country to spread many samurai and ninjas outside.
"Zou Island, located on a giant elephant that has lived for more than a thousand years, and will move with the giant elephant, so the location is uncertain, and there are fur tribes living on it, and if you want to get there, you can only rely on life cards."
"Egghead, on the other hand, is an island belonging to the World Government, and it is very mysterious."
"And farther afield, there's the legendary island of Elbaf."
Mitsuki Sukiyaki Road.
Xia Le's eyes narrowed, with a thoughtful expression.
Obviously, the forces of the New World are more complex. In addition to the islands around the country of Wano that the other party said, there are also the kingdoms of Grimbit, the kingdom of Prodans, the kingdom of Magara, and the kingdom of Majiazca.
It can be said that in this sea area with complex weather, there is also a diversity of races.
The Four Emperors of the Pirates only occupy part of the area.
This world, which belongs to the ocean, is born with geographical characteristics that are different from Xia Le's previous life, and it is determined that it is difficult to complete the unification and build a powerful kingdom.
The sea between the islands is the biggest barrier between each other.
Even the world government, the former twenty kings, only used a large alliance to include more than 100 countries to complete formal unification.
In reality, however, countries remain independent of each other.
Well, where to build the new naval headquarters?
In Xia Le's mind, a question mark popped up.
This is a question worth thinking about and paying attention to.
Because the new headquarters will be the capital of the naval kingdom of the new world in the future, and it will be the center of all power.
"The country of Wano is easy to defend and difficult to attack."
"Totland, surrounded by archipelagos."
"Dressrosa, at the entrance to the New World."
"And Hive Island, which has always been a paradise for pirates, also has its own characteristics."
Xia Le was a little troubled.
Almost all of the islands he controls now can be used as territory alone, and even the territory of the Four Emperors was originally used.
"If you're going to decide on a new headquarters for the Navy, I think Wano Country is a good place to be."
Mitsuki Sukiyaki seemed to see what Xia Le was thinking, and said with a smile.
"The navy has enough prestige and heritage here, and the people also trust Marshal Xia Le."
Hearing this, Xia Le smiled, but did not answer.
Any of the territory he has now can be regarded as the headquarters, and he is not in a hurry about the location of the site.
"Thank you, Mr. Sukiyaki, for introducing me to this sea area."
"It's just, I wonder if Your Excellency is interested in working in the Navy?"
Xia Le asked with a smile.
Guangyue Sukiyaki's eyes suddenly froze, and he almost didn't have any hesitation, and nodded quickly.
"Being able to dedicate one's strength to the word justice is something that old people dream of!"
These words made Xia Le laugh: "Hehehe, at the age of an old gentleman in the navy, he is thinking about retirement." β
"The old man still wants to see the world again before he dies!"
Mitsuki Sukiyaki said in a deep voice, with an inexplicable glint in his eyes.
His son, Mitsuki Mita, has been a rebellious since he was a child, and he walked out of Wano Country at an early age and saw the outside world.
And I haven't had time to see all this.
Now, this chaotic era that has just sprouted into a machine is the best time.
"Then, Mr. Sukiyaki, let's take the position of lieutenant general!"
Xia Le said with a smile.
Mitsuki Sukiyaki quickly got up, then bent down and saluted solemnly.
The navy is still young in the New World, and it needs a large number of officers of all classes, as well as a large number of navies.
The other party's request can be said to be exactly what he wants.
Although a large number of troops have been recruited in recent times in Wano Country, Totland, Hive Island and other places, compared to the territory under control now, it is still scarce.
Of course, this takes time to accumulate, and there is no hurry.
According to his judgment and speculation, it will take at least one year for the navy to completely control the territory in its hands now.
Time passes.
The kingdom of Totlan, Hive Island, Wano Country, Dressrosa and other areas that belonged to the navy sped up contact with each other, and the port location was full of warships.
Arsenals, military bases, fortresses, are being built in a hurry.
In the new world, it can be said that a new era of the Great Navy has completely entered.
What's even more surprising is that during this time, because of the subjective initiative of Mitsuki Sukiyaki, he actually led the navy to the island of Zou to negotiate, so that the navy and the fur clan formed an alliance.
And with the protection of the navy, the fur tribe also began to come out of Zou and try to face the world.
The Lilliputians of Dressrosa also joined the navy, and because of their military exploits, they have successfully qualified for the position of colonel.
For a time, the strength of the navy increased greatly, and it looked thriving.
At the same time, the prestige and influence of the Navy in the world have also increased greatly. This has led to the uneasiness and worry of many kings, and an urgent world conference is underway.
"It's the first time I've seen such a hasty and rude meeting!"
"Because of the Navy? The battle of the pinnacle of Ghost Island is really shocking! β
"Does the world government have such impatient moments?"
"The rise of the navy may cause a world turmoil, and the purpose of this meeting, the world government, is to judge the attitude of various countries."
"Even, they want to start a war?"
Holy Land, Mary Joy.
In the brilliant, gorgeous living room, kings and nobles from all over the world had solemn faces and lowered their voices.
This sudden invitation made many nobles and kings feel dissatisfied, and even felt surprised and sudden.
This is because the original World Conference was not held until more than a year later. The approaching World Conference has just ended.
This is the rule that has been in place for hundreds of years in the world.
But all of a sudden, the world government sent a team of secret organizations to deliver messages and invitations to the countries.
Yes, it's the secret team.
Although neither the navy nor the world government has issued a statement, the originally close ties between the two have obviously been completely severed after the battle of Onishima.
There is even a risk of further provoking conflicts, which can develop into a trend of huge wars.
"Something big is going to happen!"
"This is the first time in 800 years!"
"The Navy can now be said to be in control of the New World, right?"
"Not yet, but it's not much, those nobles and countries from the New World, who want to pass through the waterway, must start reporting to the navy, applying, and paying tolls."
"Alas, the heavenly gold that was originally handed over is already annoying enough, and I even have to pay another sum."
"The chaos in the world is not necessarily a good thing for us small countries!"
"I only hope that they can mediate well and maintain a superficial peace for a while!"
The sound of small conversations rang out, echoing through the air.
The spacious hall is full of kings, nobles, and princes from various countries, and the atmosphere is different from that of any world conference, and you can clearly feel the tension and solemnity here.
Nervous and solemn expressions could be seen on everyone's faces, and they all knew very well in their hearts that maybe the future would be bad, and a war of the century would begin.
"We only arrived early, and it will take a while for those who are far away to arrive."
"This time, I'm afraid all the countries of the world will come!"
"What a turmoil in the world!"
Sighs kept ringing out.
This emergency world conference covers the entire world, including more than 140 countries under the world government.
And it is foreseeable that this will also be the most uniform gathering of kings and nobles of all countries in history.
Alabastan.
"Emergency World Conference?"
"An invitation from the World Government?"
Kobra frowned, pinched the gilded invitation in his hand, and only felt his scalp tingle.
"This world meeting is decided by the Supreme Five Old Star Conference, and the notice issued by the Supreme Five Stars asks His Majesty Kobra to arrive."
"It's about the security and peace of the world."
A man in a black suit with a cold face and a cold voice.
Kobra could feel the powerful aura on the other party's body, and he also saw the lieutenant of the Kingdom Guard, Bell, who looked like he was ready to draw his weapon at any time.
The soldiers in the main hall had already put their right hands on the hilt of the long knives, staring at anyone in this team.
"Good!"
After a long time, Kobra nodded in response.
After getting the other party's response, the leader nodded: "Then, take your leave!" β
Kobra's face was serious, and he stared at the other team's departure before retracting his gaze.
"Emergency World Conference!"
"Your Majesty, this must be against the war that Prince Yu Xia Le started not long ago!"
Ikalem said in a deep voice.
"It's not good!"
Bell also withdrew the hand that was on the hilt of the knife, and then walked over and said in a deep voice.
"To go, or not to go?"
Kobra hesitated.
As the king of Alabastan, Charlot's eldest brother, with his position, very much hopes that the two sides will still maintain a peaceful situation, but he knows very well that this is simply impossible.
His younger brother is too strong, and the power in his hands is also growing rapidly.
"Your Majesty, if you choose to accept their invitation."
"With your relationship with Prince Charle, something will definitely happen to you!"
Ikalem hurriedly said.
Kobra was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "What you say makes sense." β
"But I don't think that's what a world government would do."
Ikalem was momentarily anxious and was about to say something more.
But Kobra waved his hand: "The current Alabastan is strong and strong, not what we once were." β
"There are more than a million elite soldiers alone!"
"If you want to move me, won't the world government be afraid of serious consequences?"
Ikalem's face was helpless, he respected this majesty very much, but he saw the innocence of the other party.
As a courtier, you can't oppose it strongly.
At this moment, a woman in a pink gauze skirt and a shawl with long blue hair strode in the palace.
"Father, you are so naΓ―ve!"
"If you want to participate in the World Conference, why don't you ask Uncle Charlott first!"
"Your every move now will be related to his safety!"
Kobra was stunned: "Vivi! β
Ikalem, Bell and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the woman who arrived, and bent down to salute: "Princess Vivi!" β
