The dispatch of the Sword of Dawn attracted the attention of many people in the New World, and with the departure of the warship of Ji Guoyuan, there were many unfamiliar ships in Dressrosa that stopped on the shore for a short time during this time.

These short-term ships seem to be normal merchant ships, but in fact, behind these merchant ships are intricate forces.

However, Polusalino, who was sitting in Dressrosa, didn't have the time to take care of those strange ships at this time, and with the departure of Jiguoyuanyi and Cyrus and others, Polusalino, who was already entrusted with the burden by Jiguoyuanyi, became busier during this time.

The construction of the naval branch was carried out by him.

Just as the eyes of the New World pirates were focused on Dressrosa and Jikokuichi who went to sea.

In the hospital ward of Migo Town.

Kuzan, who was lying on the hospital bed, finally opened his eyes slowly.

The snow-white ceiling and the harsh sunlight shining through the windows brought in the curtain.

"Hospital?"

Smelling the thick smell of alcohol in the room, Kuzan muttered, leaned on the bed board with one hand, and struggled to sit up.

His memory is a little unreal, and when he is extremely tired, his actions are all based on his subconscious, and now his brain is not very clear after two days of coma, and he is a little chaotic.

Kuzan had forgotten how he had come to this place.

"Click"

With a soft thud, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Kuzan turned his head to see the flying squirrel walking into the room.

At this time, the flying squirrel was carrying a food box in his hand, and when he saw Kuzan sitting up, he looked stunned, and then his face was full of joy.

"Major General Kuzan, you're finally awake!"

"How does it feel?"

The flying squirrel walked briskly to the end of the bed, looked at Kuzan happily, and asked.

"You're okay, great!"

Kuzan looked the flying squirrel up and down, and when he saw that the other party was easy to move, he was full of anger when he spoke, and finally smiled. But Kuzan's smile was fleeting, and he turned to the flying squirrel worriedly about the other navies.

"What about the others? Are you all right? ”

At this moment, Kuzan's mind had a lot of information in his head, and he already knew where he was now.

"Well, the seriously injured ones are out of danger and have woken up."

"Everybody's so good......"

"Just ......"

Speaking of this, the flying squirrel's expression showed a little frustration, it was the first time for him to experience such a big defeat as a young man, and it was the first time to experience this level of loss.

The departure of friends and colleagues was too sudden, and although the flying squirrel was mentally prepared for such a thing in the future on the day he became in the navy, when it really happened, he still had no way to accept it.

"Yes...... It's all fine......"

Kuzan was also sad when he saw the flying squirrel, but as the top leader of the ICE branch, Kuzan could only fight his spirit, forced himself to show an ugly smile, and said with relief:

"We'll avenge them!"

"Flying Squirrel, I promise!"

Kuzan's eyes were firm, and his tone was resolute. Hearing his words, the flying squirrel also rubbed his cheeks, and said with a strong spirit:

"Hmm!"

"The headquarters already knows what is happening here, and has sent someone to take over the matter."

"Major General Kuzan, the new order given to us by the Sengoku General is to take all the surviving sailors and return to Mariin Fodo as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Kuzan's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked with some confusion: "Take over?" What do you mean? ”

"Does the headquarters still have the strength to take care of us?"

"Since One Piece Roger was executed, the four seas are not calm, and the headquarters can still have the spare strength to help"

Speaking of this, Kuzan suddenly paused, as if thinking of something, and raised his eyes to look at the flying squirrel standing across the bed.

"You guessed it right, there is only one army in the New World that can come to us in a short period of time, and still have the ability to take over this matter."

"It's Lieutenant General Ji Guoyuan, and he has already brought people over."

The flying squirrel told Kuzan what he had gotten. Hearing this, Kuzan smiled bitterly and couldn't help but sigh: "It's Yuanyi."

"To be honest, I don't have the face to see him."

"The ICE branch I built with him is in my hands."

Kuzan said this with a sad look on his face, and his tone was full of self-reproach.

Seeing Kuzan's depressed look, the flying squirrel couldn't help but persuade: "Don't think about it so much, Rear Admiral Kuzan, we are a navy, how can we win a hundred battles in the battle against pirates." ”

"It's normal to have wins and losses."

"As long as . . Just don't lose again in the future! ”

How much Kuzan was able to listen to the flying squirrel's exhortations, I am afraid that only he himself knew. Kuzan slowly left the bed, stood up, and walked to the window, looking out at the scene.

The hospital in Migo Town is located in the center of the town, and there is only one hospital in such a large town, so the hospital is very good.

It was early in the morning, and the streets were full of people, the shouts of vendors, and the sounds of children playing were brought into Kuzan's ears by the breeze. Although the residents are busy, they are happy and fulfilling, and the town feels lively and harmonious to Kuzan, exactly like the Shui Xian Star Island, where his branch is located.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Kuzan was in a trance, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily hooked slightly, but this smile quickly dissipated on his face, and after a long silence, Kuzan said slowly:

"We. . I won't leave for now. ”

"Let's stay in Migo Town first."

"Before they came. It's up to us to guard this place. ”

When Kuzan said this, the flying squirrel had already walked to the window, sat on a stool under the windowsill, and opened the food box, and suddenly heard Kuzan's words, and looked stunned, and then glanced at Kuzan, and saw Kuzan looking out the window, and also followed Kuzan's gaze to the street outside.

After a while, the flying squirrel understood why Kuzan suddenly said such a thing, nodded his head, and replied, "Okay! ”

The survivors of the ICE branch have taken up their temporary stay in the small town of Mego.

At the same time, Kaido's Beast Pirates are happily enjoying the fruits of their victory on Shui Xian Star Island.

In a luxurious manor on the island, Kaido was lying comfortably on the sofa, with his legs crossed, looking at the scenery in the courtyard and drinking wine.

Kaido has been somewhat tired of his long-term seafaring life, but all human beings will yearn for land after all. Kaido had long wanted to find an island to be his long-term station, and by chance, Kaido went to Wano Country and was immediately attracted by the natural current barrier of Wano Country.

Therefore, the idea of occupying Wano Country and acting as its own base was born.

To this end, Kaido began to cooperate with the Great Snake of Wano Country in an attempt to control Wano Country.

After a period of operation, most of their plans for the Hundred Beast Pirates have actually been completed, and through the big snake in front of the stage, Kaido enslaved the citizens of Wano Country, and established a lot of factories in Wano Country, and began to try to study Devil Fruits.

However, the good times didn't last long, as the Whitebeard Pirates sent Mitsuki Mita back to the country of peace, Yamato exposed the relationship with the Hundred Beast Pirates, and the furious Mitsuki Mita directly led his subordinates to the "Nine Sheaths" and killed them directly.

After a fierce battle between Kaido and Mitsuki Mita, Kaido finally gained the upper hand, and at the last moment, with the help of black charcoal, Kaido smashed a stick on Mitsuki Mita's body and won the victory.

As for how did the black charcoal old woman help Kaido?

Kuro Tan's ability to use turned into the appearance of Momonosuke, and when Kaido and Mitsuki Mita were attacking with all their might, he suddenly joined the battlefield and pretended to be hijacked by Kaido's subordinates, thus distracting Mitsuki Mita's attention and making Mita's momentum leak.

In the battle between the strong, if you are not careful, you will lose the situation, and Guangyue Yutian will not be able to show his strongest blow at all, so he will be defeated hastily.

It's funny to say, Mitsuki Ota knew that his family was sheltered by the Whitebeard Pirates, but he was still distracted when he saw the scene of his "son" being held hostage.

I have to say that as a father, Mita's concern is chaotic.

Originally. The Whitebeard Pirates have no intention of interfering in the affairs of Wano Country at all, although Mitsuki Mita is the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates, but Wano Country is the Wano Country of the Mitsuki family after all, and Mitsuki Mita is also asking Whitebeard not to interfere, he intends to take back Wano Country in person.

But

Kaido actually "used" such a despicable means to win, which directly annoyed Whitebeard. The legend of the sea rushed straight into the fray, struck the black charcoal, and then grabbed and slashed Kaido from the clouds.

The young Kaido did not reach his peak at all, and after the fierce battle with Mitsuki Mita, his physical strength was also greatly consumed, and he couldn't dodge Whitebeard's slash at all, and was directly hit in the chest.

Under the cover of Ember and the others, Kaido survived from Whitebeard's knife.

In the face of the fleeing Hundred Beast Pirates, Whitebeard did not rush to kill them all, and compared to taking the other party's life, Whitebeard paid more attention to the situation of Mitsuki Mita.

After all, he was unsuspecting and ate Kaido's frontal blow, and Mita's situation was something that Whitebeard was very concerned about.

Maybe it's because the people of Wano Country are rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and even Kinemon can resist Kaido's "thundering gossip", and of course Mitsuki Ota can bear it.

Yutian immediately passed out in a coma, but if there was any big problem, it was really not.

And the Hundred Beast Pirates, who were forced to withdraw from the country of Wano, are also wandering in the new world, constantly looking for a suitable habitat. During these years, they lived briefly on many of the islands of the New World.

It wasn't until the Pirates Roger was arrested and the existence of "One Piece" was publicized to the outside world that Kaido embarked on a path to find Roger's legacy.

After a period of investigation, Kaido set his sights on Mercury Island.

Before the name Ralph Drew spread all over the world, Mercury Star Island was known as the "Final Island". Kaido felt that the reason why the navy was stationed on Mercury Island was also because of the intention of burying the "truth" there.

Some time ago, after Kaido figured out the combat power configuration of Shui Xian Star Island, he directly decided to do it.

Kaido, who can become one of the Four Emperors in the future, is not just a fool who simply uses his fists, he also made all preparations before attacking Shui Xian Star Island.

After all, Kaido, who can "plot slowly" against the country of Wano, is not the kind of impatient temperament.

Before officially attacking Shui Xian Star Island, Kaido first sent people to be fooled to publicize his "purpose", and the meaning was very simple, the purpose of his attack on Shui Xian Star Island was just to take revenge for capturing his subordinates' navy, and to the ordinary people on the island, it was absolutely "autumn no offense".

This kind of trick also caused a separation between the navy and the people, and the morale of the navy, which was suspected by the people, was also lowered.

When Kaido sensed this, he launched the first round of attacks.

Unexpectedly, the navy on Shui Xian Star Island actually has a powerful natural system, and in the battle with Kuzan, the aftermath of the battle is to cause heavy losses to the pirates.

Therefore, Kaido, after gaining some results, wisely chose to retreat. It is not only to recuperate, but also to give the navy some time to let them retreat.

Kaido didn't have the idea of fighting Kuzan to the death, although he should be able to win that way, but who knows how many of his subordinates that natural system would take with him before he died.

Although Kaido is not the kind of person who cherishes his subordinates, he is not happy to see that he has suffered heavy losses for the sake of a naval branch. Even if it is to replenish cannon fodder, it is not an easy thing, not to mention, fighting to the death with that navy, will there only be cannon fodder in his hands? I am afraid that the cadres will suffer a lot of losses at that time, and this is something he cannot accept.

As Kaido expected, the navies of the ICE branch really retreated, and the Hundred Beast Pirates who successfully landed on the island also exposed their true nature and began a carnival belonging to the pirates.

However, Shui Xian Star Island is not the kind of island rich in supplies after all, and there are thousands of people in the Hundred Beast Pirates, and after a week of carnival, the supplies are also greatly reduced.

Although they still have stock on board, the stock is stock, and under normal circumstances, they will not be touched unless necessary.

"Click."

The door to the room was pushed open, and a tall man with a black mask and a long knife at his waist walked into the room and closed the door.

Kaido, who heard the movement, turned around, saw the person coming, and greeted with a smile: "Oh! ”

"Ash!"

"Why are you here?"

"Come on, come on, sit down and drink."

As he spoke, Kaido got up from the couch, took out a glass and red wine from the wine cabinet next to him, walked to Ash's side, put his arm around Ash's shoulders, and pulled him to the sofa.

Kaido himself likes spirits and is not interested in red wine, but Ember is different, and the other party prefers more delicate red wine.

"Not yet, Brother Kaido."

"There's something I need to report to you."

Ember was quite respectful of Kaido's title, Kaido listened to Ember's serious tone, patted Ember on the shoulder, opened the red wine for Ember by himself, poured a glass and put it in front of Ember, and then sat on the sofa, and said with a smile:

"What do you say, you guy is still like this."

"What's the matter, just say it, between the two of us, do you still need to say anything to report or not?"

Receiving Kaido's signal, Ember said in a solemn tone:

"There is a shortage of supplies on the island, I have already investigated this island, the area of arable land is not very large, this is not the kind of rich island, I'm afraid there is no way to support the consumption of the aborigines and our pirates."

Hearing Ember say this in a solemn tone, Kaido's expression was stunned.

He thought Ember was going to say something important, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter!

"If the materials are not enough, then let those people go to farming, open up wasteland, and expand the area of cultivated land!"

"With such a large island, the area of arable land should be able to expand a lot!"

"And even if the arable land is still not enough, then the surplus people will be consumed, and only those who can farm can be left behind."

"Otherwise, we can go to sea and rob it!"

Hearing this, Ember nodded and continued:

"This is the second thing I want to say, the navy stationed here before, the procurement of materials was all purchased in Migo Town, which is 5 days away from here."

"But I received the news that the navy that escaped from the island is now stationed there."

"If we want to grab it, the best choice is that rice cracker town, but"

Without waiting for Ember to finish speaking, Kaido directly interrupted with a smile:

"No, it's just that!"

"It's just a lost dog! I didn't expect those guys to dare to stay if they didn't leave quickly? ”

"What is this going to do?"

"Are you going to counterattack?"

"Ash, call someone, let's directly occupy that Migo town, and the cultivated land of the two islands should be enough to feed our pirates, right?"

"Hahaha!"

As he spoke, Kaido burst out laughing.

After receiving a clear order, the Hundred Beast Pirates also began to prepare for dispatch.

It's just that Kaido's subordinates don't seem to have had enough of the carnival, and after Kaido's order was issued, the Hundred Beast Pirates prepared for three days before leaving from Shui Xian Star Island.

After the Hundred Beast Pirates left, the Shui Xianxing Island family was silent, but these people couldn't do much more than be able to loudly accuse the Hundred Beast Pirates of their evil deeds.

In this world, there is a limit to what the weak can do.

“ju——”

"Boom !!!"

After a scream, a cannonball landed directly on a merchant ship in Migo Town, and the roaring explosion instantly broke the quiet morning of Migo Town.

When the people working at the wharf heard this sudden roar, they turned their heads to look at the place where the explosion occurred, and some sharp people also saw the ships on the coastline that were lined up.

On the mast of the ship, the skull flag with the pattern of bull horns shocked the people.

"Pirates!"

"It's a pirate!!"

"The pirates are coming! Run, everybody! ”

Exclamations of surprise came from the docks, and panicked people fled in all directions. An unknown child walked out of the door, looked at the panicked scene on the dock, and just as he was about to turn around and go to the room to call his parents, a scream came from above his head.

A shell spanned hundreds of meters and fell directly into the roof in front of the child's eyes.

"Boom !!"

The explosion occurred directly in the room, and the surging air wave carried the debris directly on the child's body, flying him several meters and then slamming it on the ground, silent.

The people on the shore looked up and saw that the pirate fleet in the distance was firing a salvo, and cannonballs were raining down on the houses on the shore.

"Hahahaha!!"

On the pirate ship, the lookout pirate laughed wildly at the cruel sight of the pier in the distance, and then commanded the gunners to raise the muzzle a little, allowing the cannonballs to fall deeper into the houses.

"Launch! Hahaha, launch!! ”

In the midst of the shouting, another volley was fired, and the pitch-black shells fired directly at the harbor in the distance.

“Ice wall！”

Just as a new round of shells fell on the port, a tall and thin young man dressed in a military rotation appeared on the dock, and as the visitors raised their hands and drank softly, a wall of ice suddenly rose at the pier.

The cannonballs fell, and the blazing flames obscured everyone's view.

When the fire and smoke cleared, the pirates were surprised to find that the ice wall was still standing there, successfully protecting the harbor.

Not only that, but with the appearance of the man, the sea surface of the entire harbor began to freeze rapidly, and the ice surface also extended rapidly towards their ship, and in just a familiar time, the ice surface had already extended for tens of meters.

"Nature! It's the navy!! ”

The Hundred Beast Pirates were no strangers to the navy that appeared on the dock, and as the shouts of the pirates on the lookout sounded, Kaido, who was on the main ship, also quickly walked to the bow and looked at the coast in the distance.

"Hehehe!"

"It's that guy, Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Pheasant!"

As Kaido spoke, a tall figure walked out of Kaido's side, jumped slightly, and stood on the bow of the ship, and then in the eyes of many pirates, this person's back actually gave birth to wings directly, and a flame arose.

"Ash, I'll leave that guy to you! Hehe" Kaido said with a smile as he glanced at the man standing on the railing.

"Hmm!"

As Kaido's words fell, Ember spread his wings and flew directly into the air, and then flew quickly towards Kuzan on the dock in the distance, and in mid-air, Ember drew the long knife at his waist.

"Whew!!!"

A terrifying sound came into Kuzan's ears, and without thinking about it, Kuzan directly pulled out the dead wood on his waist and erected it in front of him.

The next moment Kuzan's blade stood up, a figure directly crossed the sea area of thousands of meters, appeared in front of Kuzan, and slashed at the blade of the dead wood. Kuzan only felt that his arm sank, and the ground under his feet could not withstand the terrifying force, and it was already cracked.

Feeling the terrifying power of the other party, Kuzan looked up and saw a tall man with wings on his back and a black helmet.

"Ash!"

Kuzan recognized the person at a glance, and muttered, the power of the Devil Fruit was directly activated, and the dead wood in his hand was instantly wrapped in ice, and then quickly connected to the long knife of the ember, actually trying to directly freeze the opponent's sword.

However, Ember's reaction speed was also very fast, and while the flames ignited on the blade, it quickly split its blade, and then spread its wings and flew directly into the air.

Ember in mid-air looked down at Kuzan on the shore and asked in a deep voice:

"Navy, why are you still here?"

"Haven't you left yet?"
