Chapter 425: Prisoners of War at the Navy Headquarters

July 15th.

Half a month has passed since the great war that decided the fate of the world.

The victory of the Deep Sea Empire, the collapse of the world government, and the heavy casualties of the Red-Haired Pirate League and the Revolutionary Army were a result that most people in the world did not expect.

Set the goal of destroying the enemy within a month, and finally, in turn, be destroyed by the enemy within a month...... How to say that? Amusing? Comical? Incredible?

With the whole process of the war written by Morgans and Nami of the World Economic News Newspaper, and the historical text translated by Robin, disseminated to the world through the press, people should understand that the world has changed.

Not only the vast majority of people in the world have such a sense of distortion, but even the middle and senior leaders of the Navy Headquarters who have personally experienced the war situation also have this unrealistic feeling.

It's like, having a sweaty nightmare.

Although it was the headquarters of the Navy, Maryford had been destroyed, and the entire upper echelons of the Navy had surrendered in the latter stages of the war.

The navy of the world government no longer exists, no, it should be said that the entire army of the world government no longer exists.

Now, the middle and high-level world government generals who are in an awkward position are all staying in the prisoner of war camps, taking advantage of their free time, to gather together.

The scrawny T. Penn laid out a great chart of the voyage on the long table, and looked at the crowd around him, all of whom were not easy to mess with.

He frowned and stepped back behind the group.

Smoker had no cigar to smoke, his legs were constantly shaking, and his tone was a little irritable.

He tapped his knuckles on the table and asked, "What were you all doing when our G-5 branch was isolated?" ”

Smoker looked at the young man with short green hair sitting next to him.

Prince Gruss hurriedly waved his hand:

"Don't look at me!"

"After Drake was taken away, although I succeeded as the captain of the 'Blade Force' with the highest degree of freedom, I mainly operated in the waters near the G-14 branch, far away from you."

"Besides, we are also desperate in the naval battle in the sea area of the G-14 branch, and we will not lose to your G-5 branch at all."

Sentomaru suddenly leaned over, crossed his waist with one hand, and pointed the index finger of the other hand at the mark of Mary Joy, the holy land on the Red Earth Continent.

"If you want me to say, it's that the Draconians are too stupid to drive Dr. Vegapunk to a dead end."

"If only a doctor had updated our weapons in time, our naval and land battles would not have been lost like this, let alone air battles where there was no way at all."

"That group of Tianlong people has collected so much heavenly gold every year, even if they take a small part out and build submarines, airships or something, it won't make us lose so badly, right?"

"The Draconians are like this." At this time, Gaji walked over with his hands in his pockets and said with a smile.

Smoker smelled the familiar smell of smoke, stood up suddenly, and saw that Gaji had a lit cigarette in his mouth, and couldn't help asking, "Where did you get it?" ”

Gaji glanced at his cigarette, and then smiled: "There are also people in the prisoner of war camp, Smoker, you don't understand." ”

"Give me a sip too." Smoker doesn't care so much, he reaches out and grabs.

"Hey, don't mess around, I'm just ...... this one"

Smoker wore Hailoushi handcuffs, and finally snatched the cigarette by brute force, inhaled vigorously, and sat comfortably in the chair again.

"You, you." Gaji shook his fingers and smiled helplessly.

"Actually......"

The sudden sound startled everyone, and when they looked back, it turned out to be Bogard, who had a weak sense of existence.

"What, don't make a sudden noise, it will scare people to death." Gaku thumped his chest.

Pogard subconsciously wanted to press the brim of his hat, and when he raised his hand halfway, he remembered that the hat had been handed over to the prisoner of war camp, so he had to touch his hair in embarrassment.

Gruss asked curiously, "What did you just want to say?" ”

He still has a lot of respect for this Karp's adjutant.

Pogard continued: "Actually, in this battle, the only chance we can win against the Deep Sea Empire is the time when the Mother Flame bombarded the Red Harbor, right? ”

At the mention of the mother fire, everyone fell silent.

It's almost, all the people here will die in that place.

If it weren't for the Deep Sea Emperor's action......

Now, the Mother Flame has been transferred to the side of the Deep Sea Empire, and the hole blasted out by the Mother Flame has also been forcibly filled by the Deep Sea Emperor with seawater.

"Unlikely." Smoker swallowed the clouds for a while, and said, "Even if we are sacrificed, it is impossible for the Mother Flame to kill the Deep Sea Emperor." As long as the Deep Sea Emperor does not die, everything will be in vain. ”

Gaji pointed at Smoker and smiled, "He's got to the point...... We are still too attached to traditional naval and land warfare to know that times have changed. ”

"That's why I said that the Draco killed the doctor, which is the biggest problem." Sentomaru muttered resentfully.

At this moment, several figures approached.

They came to the long table, looked at it suspiciously, and it dawned on them when they saw the charts on the long table.

With the exception of Smoker, the crowd at the long table saluted them.

"Air Commander, Sengoku Marshal, General Polusalino, Lifetime General, Lieutenant General Karp."

Kong shook his head again and again, and smiled helplessly: "What are you doing with this kind of previous title?" We are all captives now. Don't talk about that, sit down. ”

Everyone was a little embarrassed and restrained.

That being said, the reverence for Sora, Sengoku, Polusalino, and Karp over the years is true.

Smoker was unceremonious, pointing at the four of them with a cigarette butt: "In this war, your problems are also very big. ”

Gack's eyes widened, and he glanced at Smoker, then took a step back, right next to Penn.

Sora's face changed.

He glanced at Sengoku, sat down, sighed, and said solemnly, "You can talk about it." ”

Smoker said bluntly: "The entire New World War, it seems that you are in command, but in fact, wherever you fight and defend, it is all remotely commanded by the five old stars in the Holy Land Mary Joy. ”

"You don't care about the problem of logistics corruption, and let those speculators smoke an unknown amount of food that should have been sent to the front line and send it to the Holy Land."

"And those weapons and equipment, those warships, how far behind the Deep Sea Empire? In other words, the pacifists and the sea beasts can be used for their weapons, and we will be slaughtered elsewhere. ”

"The armies sent by those kingdoms are uneven, and the defense line they are responsible for does not know how much wind has leaked, and the Draconians are disgusting us behind our backs, and you are also turning a blind eye and closing an eye."

"As for intelligence, I don't even want to say that we are no different from blind, and the Deep Sea Empire knows our army better than I do."

The more Smoker spoke, the more angry he became, and he almost lost his cigarette, but in the end he was reluctant, and took a puff affectionately, and his tone softened:

"I'm not saying that I don't have any problems at all, it's just that the mistakes you made have a more serious impact."

Life, who was transferred here not long ago, nodded repeatedly: "What Smoker said makes sense. I was captured alive and was very responsible. ”

There was silence at the long table for a while, and then an empty voice came: "That's why we lost." ”

And all the people looked at him.

He shook his head and said, "It's true that there is a lot of helplessness, but it's also true that we haven't made the corresponding efforts. ”

Sengoku lifted his glasses and said, "The corruption and erosion of the Holy Land and the World Government are at the root, and we all know very well that the war is out of our control from the beginning. ”

The atmosphere was a little low.

Polusalino rolled his eyes, looked at Karp, who seemed to be ten years older, and deliberately asked in a loud voice, "Mr. Karp...... Ryu and Luffy, are you alright? ”

In the past, this kind of question could not have been asked publicly, but now it is different.

Karp was stunned for a moment, and then replied pretending to be hearty: "If the Holy Land is destroyed like that, it's good that they can survive, and it's better to be disabled than to be disabled." ”

"They came to visit you a while ago?" Sengoku also diverted the topic and asked.

"Luffy is recuperating, and Dragon, Ace, Kuzan, Sabo and others have come a few times."

The visits to them in the prisoner of war camps are still relatively relaxed, mainly because the Deep Sea Empire does not intend to lock them up until death, or execute them, what they want is their statement.

Male prisoners of war were kept on this side.

Female prisoners of war such as Gion, Tsuru, Dole, Tina, Dusty, Peacock, and Skylark were in another prisoner of war camp.

At that time in the Red Harbor, the people had surrendered.

After learning the truth about the "100 years of blankness" in the prisoner of war camp, everyone's attitude softened a lot.

It is a good thing that such a group of Celestial Dragons have died, and such a world government has collapsed, which has become the consensus in the hearts of the captives.

Looking at everyone, he said, "I, Sengoku, Karp, and Tsuru are all old, and I will definitely retire completely in the future, what about you?" ”

Polusalino, Issei, Gion, and Kaji are all fifty or sixty years old, and Smoker, Tina, Dole and others are even younger, and there is still room for use.

Everyone looked at each other.

Kong pursed his lips and said, "There is no need to have too much psychological burden, there is no shame in implementing your own beliefs and justice in the Deep Sea Empire. ”

"If you can start over, start over...... As the 'weapon' of the world government, we have been stained with too much innocent blood, and this is also a kind of atonement. ”

The charts on the long table were swept up by the wind.

Everyone reached out and held it down, then looked at each other and looked at the great course in the chart.

To start over?
