boom!
boom! boom! !
?
The night was getting dark, and in the middle of the night when people were supposed to be sleeping deeply, as they were pushing towards the city, bursts of rumbling thunder could be heard.
Seen from a distance, the fire could reach straight into the sky, and half of the sky was reflected red. It was such a horrifying scene like a doomsday that even the navy far away on Judiciary Island and the migrant workers working on the construction site in Marineland could vaguely see it. An unusual sight.
boom! boom!
At this time, the battle in the city was still continuing. Even though it had been fighting for three days and four nights, it still had no intention of stopping.
Amidst the roaring explosions of the cannonballs and the screams of countless sailors, another main warship with a white navy flag slowly tilted amidst the fire and thick smoke, and finally came to a rescue after countless crew members howled and dived. Little by little they sank into the vast inland sea inside the Justice Gate of Impel Down City.
boom!
boom! boom! boom!
However, the bombardment continued, and the attacks from both sides that lasted for three days and four nights would not stop because of the sinking of a certain ship.
However, at this time, the cannonballs did not come from the fortress turrets on the top of the impel city.
Because the first floor of the impel city on the sea has long been reduced to a terrifying sea of fire and masonry ruins with billowing smoke. They suffered a painful bombardment when the navy first entered, and now they have lost their attack. ability.
At this time, the only remaining naval flagship suffered from the condescending bombardment from the sky, from the former naval garrison garrison in the impel city suspended in the night sky!
In this regard, the five lieutenant generals at the naval headquarters, Lieutenant General He, Gumir, John Giando, Lonzi and Dalmecia, who were the chief of staff of this operation, could only watch and were helpless.
This time, the ten main naval battleships that carried out the demon-slaying order, led by Vice Admiral He, the Chief of Staff of the Naval Headquarters, encountered the most difficult battle in their history in Impel Down City. So far, they are the only ones left. We got off the last ship, and the crew numbered less than 2,000.
And the matter starts from three days ago.
At that time, it was smooth sailing when they entered through the gate of the Impel City. They were well prepared and used the cannons of the main ships to shoot at the cannons on the top of the Impel City. They had already understood and set up various shooting Zhuyuan's security forts carried out a fierce bombardment, and also successfully carried out a large-scale encirclement and suppression of several warships controlled by the traitors in the city.
After that, in just one day, they successfully sank all six warships controlled by the traitors at the cost of sinking only one warship!
Although, the number of warships found in the sea within the impel city is not consistent with the number in the naval intelligence. At least eight ships are missing. However, the senior officials, including Vice Admiral and Chief of Staff He, did not report them. Keep it in mind.
Because, after the battle, they had immediately controlled the most important sea level of Impel City and completely locked the door of justice. Without opening the door, those disappearing ships would never become their threats.
Then, they spent another day and night turning the upper level of the impel city into ruins and a sea of fire, directly driving the traitors and prisoners who were entrenched in it and intending to resist to the underground level, and dispatched thousands of naval officers and soldiers Landed and firmly controlled the area at sea.
Then, when they were working hard on the engineering work, they planned to divert sea water into the city and completely eliminate the traitors and all the prisoners hiding in it, so as to complete the 'Demon Slaying Order' of 'burn everything' and 'destroy everything'. When the final order came, the navy's nightmare came at this time.
Quite suddenly, when the navy thought it was winning and relaxed its vigilance, the disappeared ships that were originally stationed in Impel Down City and were suspended in the sky suddenly emerged from the clouds and were then trapped in the sea inside Impel Down City. The naval ships and the officers and soldiers who landed on the first floor of the Impel City instantly became living targets, and helplessly withstood the terrifying saturated bombardment from the sky.
Although the remaining nine naval ships tried hard to avoid, defend and counterattack, after another day and night of fighting, they soon desperately discovered that the turrets of their warships were unable to attack those floating warships coming from the sky!
So, in the end, they could only watch in despair as the remaining ships were sunk one by one, and accepted the tragic result that the only remaining flagship was scarred and that only a handful of officers and soldiers landed.
boom! boom!
boom! boom! boom!
However, the battleships in the sky will not stop attacking because of the navy's despair.
They still tried their best to pour artillery fire on the last remaining battleship, and soon let several shells fall on the deck, blasting the already scarred flagship deck and masts one after another. There were several sparks.
Finally, as more artillery shells fell, and as more and more fire and smoke rose into the sky on the ship's deck, the lieutenant generals and major generals who had been working to intercept the artillery shells and protect the flagship until now could no longer stand it. Living.
"chief of staff!"
"The ship is sinking, get ashore quickly!"
"Go to Impel Down!!"
After saying that, without waiting for the Vice Admiral Chief of Staff, who had a dull expression and his face covered with black dirt, to speak, they issued the order to wash ashore, allowing the traumatized naval flagship to make its final sound.
Rumble, rumble...
After they tried their best to intercept the last batch of artillery shells, with a violent and dull collision, the naval fleet flagship, which had begun to tilt and could sink at any time, and the broken ship It accelerated hard and hit the ruins on the sea level of Impel City, successfully stranding the flagship completely.
And as the last navy ship ran aground, and as countless navy officers and soldiers jumped off the ship and ran to the ruins on the sea floor of the Propulsion City, which was full of red fire, those buoys in the sky were exactly the same as the navy ships. The air battleships finally gradually stopped their bombardment.
"..."
"How could it become like this..."
Lieutenant General and Chief of Staff He, who was abducted by other lieutenant generals and ran to the ruins that were filled with fire, thick smoke, corpses, and broken eaves, first looked at the people around her who might not even be there. Thousands of people, and all of them were injured, and all the naval soldiers had a look of panic and hesitation on their faces. Then they staggered back two steps and murmured to themselves in a tone with a hint of trembling.
"!!"
"They're coming!"
"alert!!"
At this time, an unknown lieutenant general suddenly shouted loudly.
Then, the remaining naval officers, who were like frightened birds, tightened their weapons in their hands, and looked at the ship that was gradually descending in the sky, which was exactly the same as the navy's standard ship, but this time there was a burning An enemy ship carrying a bear's head flag.
"Wahahahahaha..."
"Lieutenant General Crane!"
"long time no see."
"I guess you can't think of it, right?"
"Your navy captured me twice, but I still escaped from Impel Down City, a prison that no one can escape from in the world, both times!"
"Now, do you want to say something before you die?"
At this time, as the ship landed more than tens of meters above the ground, a guy with golden hair as long as his feet, which looked like a lion's mane, and a rudder stuck on his bald head suddenly floated. After leaving the deck of the floating ship, he was so condescending, complacent, and extremely arrogant, and loudly mocked the navy on the ground whose faces were full of fear reflected by the firelight.
"It's really you..."
"Golden Lion Shiki!"
"I knew those ships wouldn't be suspended in the sky for no reason, but it turns out that it's your Piao Piao Fruit ability that's causing trouble?"
I saw that it was the man with the nickname "Golden Lion", the former captain of the Sky Pirates, a user with the ability to flutter fruit. In the past, he was as famous as Gol D. Roger and "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate, and he was also a member of Impel Down City. The first escaped pirate in history appeared, and Navy Vice Admiral Chief of Staff He finally nodded with understanding.
"That's right!"
"It's me, the famous Golden Lion Uncle Shiji!"
Crossing his arms, Golden Lion Shiji looked down at his old acquaintance He He and the defeated generals beside him, his eyes full of pride.
"alright!"
"No more nonsense!"
"After fighting for so many days, Uncle Shiji, I am tired and hungry. You guys should kneel down and surrender. That way I might be able to save your lives!"
"otherwise……"
"None of you can get out of here alive!"
Shi Ji continued to persuade him to surrender with great satisfaction.
In his opinion, the current situation is really thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river. Thinking about how desperate he was when he was caught twice by the navy and imprisoned in the city, he even thought about it. Lost both legs and almost lost his life!
And now?
He, Uncle Shiji, was looking down at the navies with a victor's attitude, and would soon achieve the great feat of annihilating an entire naval fleet and five lieutenant generals. Just thinking about that kind of thing is terrifying It can make him excited.
"..."
Vice Admiral and Chief of Staff He said nothing.
She just looked up silently at the pirate in the sky, and then looked back around, at the remaining officers and soldiers around her, and at their stoic and helpless faces. She felt nothing but regret. Apart from the self-blame, all that was left was a helpless and long sigh.
cough……
After all, she failed to live up to the expectations of the world government and the navy. This battle was ultimately lost under her command, and it was likely that the battle would be annihilated?
"How about it?"
"Have you thought about it?!"
With the urging of Golden Lion Shiji again, the cannons of the battleship in the sky and the cannons of the warships higher up began to rotate their muzzles and aimed at the people who were on the first floor of the ruins on the sea of Impel City. Those remaining naval officers and soldiers who banded together and wanted to resist stubbornly.
"..."
"Golden Lion Shiki!"
As Golden Lion Shiji pressed her again, General He had no choice but to raise her old but arrogant and stubborn chin again.
"Today, you did win..."
"but!"
"The demon-slaying order will still be implemented!"
"This place will eventually turn into ruins!!"
As he spoke, Lieutenant General He suddenly took out a cylindrical glass instrument from the cloak behind him.
It was a glass cylinder, which contained some pink liquid and a small oval object soaked in it. I don't know what it was used for.
"!!"
"That is……"
Seeing the gadget that Lieutenant General He took out, the golden lion Shiji couldn't help but be startled.
"not good!!"
"Run!!!"
Immediately afterwards, he seemed to have remembered something, and after exclaiming, he took the lead and flew out into the distant sky, not even intending to take care of the low-altitude ship or the higher fleet.
"??"
"What is that?"
"have no idea……"
As the golden lion Shiji fled in panic, bursts of chaotic noises could not help but appear on the suspended ship.
"oops!"
"Don't worry about what it is. Mr. Shiji has run away. Let's run after him!"
"ah?"
"That's right, hurry up!"
"Raise the altitude quickly!!"
But soon, the crew seemed to react, and then they ignored the firing and hurriedly let the ship rise to high altitude as quickly as possible.
"Everyone..."
"Please forgive me for being such an incompetent commander..."
He didn't pay attention to the fleeing golden lion Shiji, nor did he look at the ship that was gradually rising. Instead, he looked at the generals and soldiers around her with a miserable expression, and then raised his head. He started to crush the glass cylinder.
"etc!"
At this time, unexpectedly, a voice appeared in the sky.
"Lieutenant General Crane!"
"I advise you to give up, it's all over!"
Immediately afterwards, a man wearing a top hat with goggles, short blond hair, and a blue tights jumped off the ship that was slowly rising to escape, and landed on the ground. Finally, he walked quickly to this group of defeated navy soldiers who were like prodigal dogs, and he did not forget to shout loudly.
"Who are you……"
"!!"
"Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, Sabo?!"
At this time, General He subconsciously stopped his movements and squinted his cloudy eyes for a while. He quickly recognized the person in the dim light of the fire and exclaimed his identity.
"That's right!"
"it is me!"
Sabo admitted his identity generously, and then continued without waiting for the other party to ask further questions:
"Lieutenant General He, I advise you to stop!"
"Now that the outcome has been decided, the world will soon undergo a major reshuffle and change. There is no need for you to bring so many people to bury the corrupt World Government and the ignorant Celestial Dragons!"
"Think about your family, think about their family, what's the point of doing this?"
"besides!"
"I must remind you that most of the prisoners in the prison now are just those who are extremely vicious and unwilling to change their ways and join us. It is not a pity for those people to die. You will not change the situation of the war if you die with them."
Sabo began to persuade and talk eloquently, and told the current situation below Impel Down City, trying to make the other party give up the idea of crushing the terrible device in his hand.
"..."
"Do you know what this is?"
Lieutenant General He ignored what the other party had just said. He first looked at the golden lion that had already disappeared, then looked at the ship that was still rising slowly, and then looked at this man who dared to do so in some strange way. A young man jumped down alone at such a time.
"of course I know!"
"It's called 'dyna rock', and your navy also calls it prime mover rock, or explosive rock!"
"It itself is lifeless and not dangerous, but... once combined with oxygen, it can produce a violent explosion. It is a strange item that is said to be able to destroy the world and is said to be superior to ancient weapons!"
As if he was afraid that the naval officers and soldiers around him would not know, Sabo loudly explained his specific origin in detail, and as expected, he received the frightened eyes of the lower-level naval officers.
"That……"
"Even the golden lion Shi Ji was so scared that he ran away. Are you not afraid of death?"
Crane seemed a little curious about this.
"Of course I'm afraid!"
"But for the sake of ideals, what does my personal life and death matter?"
Sabo smiled and didn't really seem to mind.
"Yeah……"
"pity!"
"Same for us!"
"For the sake of justice, our navy will also not care about personal life and death..."
Shaking his head, Crane sighed, with no intention of taking back the device.
"That's right!"
"You do have your ideals, but what if the navy and world government that your ideals depend on will soon cease to exist?"
"You have also seen that with the power of the Golden Lion, it will not be any difficult for us to capture Judiciary Island and Marineland! By then, once the war in the new world comes to an end, it will be a major moment for the world to change. Why don't you stay How about using yourself to see that whole new world?"
"And if you die together with this useless ruin today, apart from blowing up yourselves, me and the insignificant prisoners underground, what's the use?"
As he spoke, Sabo paused, glanced at the naval officers and soldiers around him, and then continued:
"Please trust me!"
"The sacrifices made in these three days are enough, whether it's you or us!"
"So, I am here to implore you, Lieutenant General He, to think more about these remaining brave soldiers and their families!"
"Stop dying for those high-ranking Celestial Dragons!"
Sabo spread his hands and looked at the naval officers whose expressions gradually became hesitant and forlorn. Then, directly under the eyes of this group of naval officers, he stepped forward step by step and stood a few steps in front of Lieutenant General He. Certainly.
"Lieutenant General He..."
"That's right!"
"Before, we were enemies, and on the battlefield, I will definitely not feel pity for you, but!"
"Now that the battle is over, as a revolutionary, I have the responsibility and obligation to seek the welfare of every living person."
"We seek change, not destruction!"
"Also, as you saw, I could have run, but I didn't. I chose to jump down."
"I jumped down with sincerity and determination to die, not for myself or the prisoners below, but for you!"
"Please give up, it's all over!"
"I don't know what the future will be like. It's very possible that I'm wrong, but no matter whether it's right or wrong, you have to live to see hope and the future, right?"
Sabo said sincerely, and began to look around at the naval officers and soldiers around him, looking at each of them without any timidity.
"The battle is over!"
"You have done what you should do. These three days and four nights of fighting have proven that none of you are worthy of the name of 'warrior'!"
"Now……"
"Please give it to me and I will ensure the safety of all of you!"
After speaking, Sabo slowly stretched out his hands towards the silent Lieutenant General Crane under the gaze of hundreds of remaining navy officers and soldiers with different expressions.
