Located in front of the Red Continent in the middle of the Great Line, there is the world's largest mangrove 'Archican Mangrove' and the miraculous bubble culture of the Champagne Islands. In this dreamlike and beautiful place, today, In a conference room at the naval base in area 66, the supreme leader of the world government and the backbone of the world government, the Five Old Stars, and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Sora, were also a general of the navy. Senior executives gathered here and held a meeting.
And what they were discussing was undoubtedly about how to deal with the series of major incidents that occurred when the naughty child Annie Hastur passed by Fish-Man Island a few days ago.
By now, whether it is the five old stars, the commander-in-chief of the armed services, or the big bosses of the navy, they have actually reached a consensus, that is:
Anything that involves that naughty kid will definitely end up bad, and it's definitely not a trivial matter!
From the Shampoo Islands at the beginning, to Impel Down later, then to the Marine Headquarters, Marinefando, and now to the crucial Fishman Island, the passage to Haiti, the series of incidents caused and participated by that naughty kid are about to overwhelm everyone. The high-level bosses present felt a little exhausted.
But there is no way, now that things have happened, they can't escape, and this is the main reason why they gathered here at the Shampoo Islands today and prepared for a meeting!
"Is everyone here?"
"Then let's talk about Fish-Man Island..."
"How to deal with it?"
As the people arrived and the meeting began, the one among the five old stars was wearing a black suit, with white curly hair, a fluffy white beard, a flat hat, and a scar on the left side of his face. The old man was the first to speak. .
"You must all understand the situation, right?"
"So..."
"If we continue to let those naughty people mess around on Fish-Man Island like this, our world government will really lose that important waterway completely if we have no choice but to do so!"
"You also know that the Holy Land of Mary Joa can only pass people, not ships. If you want to go to the New World through the Red Continent or want to return from the New World, if you can't abandon the ship, even our navy can only go Take that underwater passage.”
"Of course, so does the cargo ship!"
"And once we really lose Fish-Man Island, it will only be a trivial matter if the freight on both sides of the Red Earth Continent is blocked. What I am more worried about is that our navy will be constrained from here, and transportation will be inconvenient. I am afraid that the situation will become more and more embarrassing. "
Having said this, the five-old star sighed heavily.
Yes, although their world government owns the Holy Land of Mary Joa, which is a better and safer passage through the Red Earth Continent, but after all, it is only a land passage. To pass, you need to apply, which will cost a lot of money and time. What's more important is that you can only abandon the ship when passing through, and it is very inconvenient to transport cargo. To some extent, it is not even as dangerous as the dangerous undersea channel.
And this is why they all gathered at the Shampoo Islands and held a meeting here today. Isn't it because that naughty kid has seriously threatened the interests of their world government and navy?
"But……"
"Now Fish-Man Island hasn't said that it won't let our navy pass, right?"
"Before Whitebeard died, they also occupied the place. They didn't seem to cause much trouble to us, right?"
At this time, the old and gray-haired 'Crane', the vice-admiral and staff officer of the Navy Headquarters and the person with the ability to wash the fruit, spoke, and carefully rebutted and comforted the five-old star who looked a little irritable. .
"Yes……"
"They didn't say they wouldn't let us pass!"
"but!"
"Anyone who does not follow their rules will be attacked, whether it is the navy or pirates, and they have already begun to take action. The detained Tianlong and the attacked naval mediation fleet are proof of this!"
"In short, there is no way such an important shipping route will be left in the hands of a group of fishmen!"
"no way!"
The five-old star with the fluffy white beard seemed to have some kind of discrimination against fishmen and mermaids, so his tone of voice was very disdainful and decisive when he spoke.
"..."
Hearing what the five-old star said, the female lieutenant general and staff officer of the Navy Headquarters fell silent. She regretfully lowered her withered cheeks and frowned at the report on her desk. Talk again.
"It is said that the naughty kid and her Sonny have arrived in the new world now, right?"
"if……"
"I mean, if we take advantage of her absence to mobilize elite ships from the New World and Shampoo Islands, and simultaneously launch a two-sided attack on Fish-Man Island from the east and west, what chance do we have of winning?"
Seeing that no one spoke, another five-year-old star wearing a dark red suit, no tie, blond hair, a blond beard, and a scar on his chest tentatively asked.
Obviously, listening to his words, you can tell that he must also be a militant, and he also wants to take advantage of the naughty kid's absence and the recent death of Whitebeard to conquer Haiti, which is very important and is often exploited by pirates. The channel was completely seized by the World Government.
"..."
"There must have been a great chance of winning before, but..."
"Now, there is almost no chance of winning!"
After a moment of silence, the female Lieutenant General and Staff Officer of the Navy Headquarters, 'Crane', who had just spoken but did not dare to say anything, spoke again, and as soon as she spoke, she poured cold water on the five-old star.
"!!"
"why?"
"Now, the navy's generals, Kizaru and Aokiji, are back. With the three generals here, can't they take down the fish-man island without the naughty children?"
The five-old star with curly white hair and a fluffy white beard just now spoke angrily and asked again.
Yes, everyone present knew that the two unlucky boys, Kizaru and Aokiji, have now returned to the navy. However, Aokiji had a dispute with Akainu over who would be the new marshal of the navy headquarters. The two of them often argued until their faces turned red and their necks became thick, and they almost even came to blows.
As for Kizaru...
Because that bastard was not nominated, he was still idle all day and didn't want to go to work. If he hadn't been named by the Five Old Stars at this meeting, he probably wouldn't have come.
"It's because of those Naga royal guards!"
"With them here, I'm afraid it won't be easy for the Navy to take over Fish-Man Island."
Finally, the World Government's commander-in-chief 'Song' spoke.
However, he still tried to say it in a tactful direction. Now if the World Government or the Navy wants to take over Fish-Man Island, it will definitely not be as simple as 'not easy'.
"I believe you have also seen from the surveillance footage of the spy phone bug at that time, those water tribes called Naga Royal Guards are very powerful!"
"Not to mention anything else, their huge size and the terrifying degree of physical attacks are enough to make us humans on land feel desperate."
"I really can't imagine what our navy is going to do to compete with those monsters that have an absolute advantage underwater in that 10,000-meter trench."
"A monster of that level cannot be described by a mere Neptune."
As he spoke, Commander-in-Chief Kong shook his head in frustration as he thought of the information he had obtained, and did not intend to continue speaking, lest he damage his morale.
"..."
"Kizaru!"
"If it were you, what chance would you have of winning against those Naga royal guards?"
After thinking about Sora's words for a while and hesitating for a while, the one among the five old stars wearing a dark red suit and blond golden tiger beard suddenly asked.
"Naga?"
"It's so scary..."
However, Kizaru flattened his mouth carelessly, looking like he was in a daze.
"..."
"..."
"..."
When they heard Kizaru speak, the five old stars and the senior officials present did not rush to interrupt each other, but just watched and waited for Kizaru to continue.
"Alright alright!"
"On land, I'm confident that I can win against a big, stupid guy like that!"
"Of course, it must be one-on-one?"
Seeing that there was no way to avoid this question, Kizaru had no choice but to cross his arms and at the same time reach out and grab a picture of the 'Naga Royal Guard' on the table while looking at it and explaining quietly.
He began to recall what he had seen on the phone bug surveillance screen when the Nagas sent out water shock waves, frozen arrows, summoned water monsters, and beat up Vander Deken and Hody Jones, and then, thinking about it , his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
"If it were in the sea..."
"Even if there is a bubble to isolate the sea water, even if it is one-on-one, I think I may not be a match for any of them, let alone there are so many of them."
"It's so scary..."
After saying that, Kizaru dropped the photo, then lay down in his position with his arms crossed and his legs crossed, silent.
Of course, only he knows whether what he said is true or false.
"That's right..."
"I see."
Hearing this, the face of the five old star who asked the question became slightly ugly. Obviously he knew that Kizaru said that deliberately and clearly did not want to go to the bottom of the sea, but he finally nodded and did not continue to ask more questions about that question. .
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Then, the conference room fell silent again. Everyone was staring at the information and photos on the table in a daze, and no one was in a hurry to speak.
"Ahem!"
After a while, seeing that the meeting place seemed a bit dull, Sora had no choice but to speak again.
"Everyone!"
"The current situation is indeed very urgent. Not to mention the nearly one hundred terrifying Naga Royal Guards summoned by that naughty kid, there is a new situation under the sea now!"
"Look, here!"
"According to the latest news from our CP0 intelligence officers, the Nagas seem to be building some strange devices like 'doors'."
"Then, just like when they appeared that day, more Nagas came out of those door-like devices..."
"Although many of them don't look as strong and tall as those Naga Royal Guards, there are more female Nagas among them who can only obey orders obediently even those Naga Royal Guards. Moreover, their number is increasing now. many!"
"so……"
"Everyone! If we still do nothing, in the foreseeable future, our navy will lose more than just Fish-Man Island and that important undersea channel."
After raising his hand to pick up documents and photos one by one and gesturing to the participants, Kongcai, the Commander-in-Chief of the World Government's Armed Forces, said in a deep voice.
"!!"
"Commander in chief!"
"Now I want to know even more, where do those Nagas come from?"
At this time, Akainu, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked with a sinister face and attracted the attention of all the participants.
Now Akainu's injury has almost recovered, but in the war at the top, he was embarrassed and humiliated!
Now almost everyone in the world knows that when Akainu turned into a molten body, he was eaten by that hateful flame bear and pulled out as a 'baba'. Then, many pirates now Some bastard mobs and even the navy like to call him "Red Dung" in private, which not only makes him lose face, but also directly affects his competition with Aokiji for the marshal of the navy headquarters.
Therefore, among all the people present, he is undoubtedly the one who hates naughty children and people or things related to naughty children the most, and there is no one!
"this……"
“We don’t know yet!”
Hearing this, he flipped through the thick pile of information in front of him, but in the end, he stopped with regret and shook his head.
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, they are a race in the sea, and the sea is still a little too vast for our world. Who knows that they emerged from that nook in the deep sea?"
With his shoulders hunched, Sora didn't know where to start.
"but……"
"One thing can be confirmed!"
Suddenly, Sora straightened his face and sat up straight.
"oh?"
"Tell me?"
Hearing that Kong seemed to have discovered something, the five-old star, who was wearing a dark blue suit, had long straight white hair, and a long beard, and had been silently doing his old work, asked with interest.
"Well……"
"Before I say anything, I can give you some key information here..."
However, Sora did not speak in a hurry, but took out some documents and photos and put them together.
"first!"
"We all know that the identity of the naughty child is still a mystery. No one knows where she came from. This is very interesting!"
"Also, according to reliable intelligence, that naughty child Anne Hastur has always liked to call herself the 'Queen' and the 'most, most, most, most... the most powerful arcane archmage' ."
"There are many quaests here. There are too many, so I won't read them out for you one by one. Anyway, that's what it means."
"then……"
"It's the naughty child Annie Hastur who summoned those Nagas. Moreover, it's not difficult to guess the affiliation between the two of them from the reaction of those Nagas who obeyed her, right?"
"With this alone, I believe everyone can basically determine something."
"Of course, this isn't over yet!"
"There is another very important point. Let's take a look at this set of photos..."
"This is what happened when the two fish-man pirates who launched the rebellion burst the bubble on the mermaid princess Shirahoshi. You see, they succeeded in making the naughty child submerge directly into the sea water, but..."
"But she didn't show any need to hold her breath or feel suffocated like humans on land, and she could even speak calmly?"
Having said this, Sora raised his head and looked around at the attendees.
Then, from the looks of surprise or understanding on everyone's faces, it was not difficult for him to guess that they must have understood what he meant, so he continued:
"at last……"
"The names of those terrifying deep sea monsters, the names of those Nagas are 'Naga Royal Guards'. Everyone should know what 'Royal Guards' means, right?"
"so……"
"We might as well take a wild guess here!"
"In our world, somewhere in the deep sea that is unknown and has no connection with the land, there is an unknown kingdom, city or race called 'Naga', and their queen or high-ranking people, It’s probably that naughty kid Anne Hastur!”
"This is why we have tried every means, but have never been able to find out the origin and true identity of the naughty kid!"
"This also explains why she can summon those Nagas through some means and they still obey her orders!"
"To sum up, that naughty kid's opponent will definitely not be as simple as we took it for granted before. The opponent is just a secret weapon sent by the anti-thief 'Dragon'."
"Now……"
"Their Nagas and that mysterious country have officially appeared in our sights, and are trying to summon more tribesmen and establish rule in the Murloc Country. We must pay attention to this!"
After analyzing it, the more he talked, the more reasonable and clear the logic became. Sora slapped the table decisively and said.
Of course, he should take it seriously, but he really didn't know how to take it seriously.
"..."
"..."
"..."
After listening to the intelligence analyzed by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, everyone present did not speak. They just frowned and digested what they had just heard.
"null……"
"What you said is very good, I can't find a reason to refute it."
"So, let's just say that your analysis and guess are the closest to the truth, but..."
"There's nothing we can do about it!"
"You just said that the number of Nagas present on Fish-Man Island is probably over 500. That is no longer a force that our navy can resist, at least not in the sea."
At this time, one of the Five Old Stars, the old man wearing a dark blue suit, with long straight white hair and a long beard, spoke again and shook his head regretfully.
"Yes."
"The most important thing now is not how to deal with the affairs of Fish-Man Island and Naga, because that can at least maintain the status quo, and their strength has not expanded rapidly to the extent that it can immediately affect land and sea."
"The most important thing now is..."
"The Dragon Palace Kingdom on Fish-Man Island has once again issued an ultimatum to us, saying that we must unconditionally release all fish and mermaid slaves in the hands of the navy, the world government or the Celestial Dragons within three months!"
"Although the ultimatum does not specify what they will do if we refuse, you can imagine that the situation will be very bad."
Then, the bald man with two splayed beards and a birthmark on his forehead, Wulaoxing, also spoke, and said so worriedly.
"!!"
"Do we have fishmen or mermaid slaves in our navy?"
After hearing all the big guys discussing, Qingzhi, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked and checked his presence.
"this……"
"It seems not, but the prisoners imprisoned in Impel Down City do."
After flipping through some information and recalling it, the Vice Admiral and Chief of Staff He said so confidently.
"What about the World Government and the Celestial Dragons?"
"Is there any more Holy Land, Holy Land, Marie Joari? And how many are there?"
Qing Pheasant asked again.
"..."
However, the female lieutenant general He suddenly stopped talking.
Because the slave matter was very sensitive and involved the Holy Land and the Celestial Dragons, her little lieutenant general would not dare to make random remarks in such a meeting.
"..."
"..."
"..."
The five old stars who were still discussing just now also fell silent at this time. Obviously, slaves and Celestial Dragons were a closely guarded issue, and they did not want to explain more.
"Ahem!"
"as far as I know……"
"In various countries around the world, whether in the hands of some big businessmen or political figures, there are many mermaids or fish-men slaves. As for the Tianlong people..."
"There are probably hundreds or even thousands of mermaids and fishmen slaves, as well as their descendants, in the holy land of Mariejoari?"
Seeing that no one answered, Commander-in-Chief Kong said it indifferently, and at the same time looked at Wulaoxing.
Back then, when Tiger liberated the slaves, there were thousands of slaves liberated from the Holy Land Mary Joy, and that was not all. But now, after so many years, the number of slaves in the hands of the Tianlong people has probably recovered to A considerable amount.
"Well……"
"There is no need to discuss this issue!"
"The Tianlong people will not hand over those slaves unconditionally just because of an ultimatum from a Dragon Palace Kingdom!"
"go!"
"Issuing a warning to the navy and governments of various countries, asking them to try not to pass through undersea passages and nearby waters in the near future."
"As for other things..."
“Let’s discuss it another day!”
With that said, it seemed that the matter about the slaves made the five old stars feel a little embarrassed and angry, so they stood up one after another and announced their exit in advance, leaving only a group of senior navy officers sitting in their respective positions looking at each other. .
"Look!"
"Did I say it right before?"
"That naughty kid..."
"How terrible!"
After a long time, after all the five old stars left, without waiting for others to speak again, Kizaru stood up for the first time and teased with a flat mouth.
Then, without waiting for anyone to say anything, he put his trouser pockets in his pockets and left the venue angrily, wearing the navy 'Justice' coat.
"..."
"..."
The senior navy officers present had no intention of stopping him. After all, they also knew that Kizaru was a bastard, and he was complaining because he was not nominated to take over as the marshal of the navy headquarters. It was natural that he was not working hard now. They But don't criticize too much, otherwise, the other party will have to resign directly.
