[Temporary mission: Rocks Pirates' "Valley of Gods" incident reappears]
[Mission Prospect: The Navy Headquarters and the Big Mom Pirates join forces to attack the Dawn Pirates]
[Mission content: Protect the mainland of China, protect the newly constructed waterway, and repel the invading Big Mom pirate group and navy. Mission reward: 1 to 3 internal affairs personnel depending on the completion of the mission; 5-10 achievement points; 10-20 bond points]
Defend China’s homeland and new waterways? Eric narrowed his eyes slightly. The goals of the pirates and the navy seemed to be inconsistent...
Judging from the rewards, compared with the temporary mission to stop the Demon-Slaying Order, the rewards are twice as high as that one, and the difficulty of the mission is very likely to be twice that. With the current strength of the Dawn Pirates, the navy will dispatch more troops this time. Absolutely no less.
Kuang San noticed the solemn expression on Eric's face and asked softly: "Eric, what happened?"
Eric's eyes burned with fighting spirit and he said: "This time is a big crisis for the Kingdom of China."
"Really..." Kuang San smiled slightly: "However, we will successfully get through this difficulty this time. Right, Eric?"
"Yes." Eric nodded and turned to look at Qi Sin: "Seven Sins, do you want to meet some new companions?"
"Oops?" Qi Zui was startled, then showed a confident smile: "Of course."
…
"That's it, she is our new companion." Eric introduced simply, bringing the Seven Sins to everyone.
"Oh!" Yamato's eyes sparkled: "She's just like a witch!"
"I am a witch~" Qi Zui confidently held the witch's hat and held it in the air with his right hand: "Fake witch!"
A broom-shaped angel appeared in her palm. The broom head spread out and radiated a dazzling light towards the empty seat.
This seat emits a faint light, and the seat turns into a coffee table in front of everyone's eyes.
"Oh!" Yamato clapped desperately: "Is it magic? It's amazing!"
Yoshino asked aloud: "Can Miss Nanasin's angel change the shape of objects?"
"That's right." Qi Zui stroked the fake witch quite proudly.
Deidara said with disdain: "Do you only know this kind of useless magic?"
"Ha..." Qi Zui smiled coldly: "Fake witch! Turn him into a frog for me!"
The light emitted from the broom head shone on Deidara,
White light covered Deidara's body.
"What is this!?" Deidara screamed, and then his body disappeared, leaving a green-skinned frog standing in his original position.
"!" Everyone at the scene was shocked. Deidara was not weak, but he actually turned into a powerless frog...
"Quack, quack!" The frog jumped up and down, its green figure rising and falling in front of everyone.
Although everyone didn't understand, they all understood the meaning of "Change me back quickly!"
"Ha!" Kisame smiled unkindly: "This incident will make him remember. Appearance is not the criterion for judging strength."
Eric apologized for Deidara: "I'm sorry, Deidara doesn't have any ill intentions. Seven Sins, change him back."
"I changed you back just for Eric's sake."
The Seven Sins nodded, controlled the angel, the light shone down, and the jumping frog turned back into Deidara.
"Damn it..." Deidara took out an explosive clay centipede and threw it casually. The clay centipede expanded dozens of times in mid-air. The dozens of legs of the arthropod swung rapidly and quickly crawled towards the Seven Sins.
"You still don't have a long memory... Fake witch!"
The light emitted by the fake witch shines on the detonating clay, and the detonating clay turns into a cute pink piggy doll with a "pop" sound.
Deidara raised his middle and index fingers and formed a seal with one hand: "Drink!"
"..."
Everyone present looked at Deidara silently.
"Tsk" Deidara smacked his lips and said, "Explosives can also be turned into harmless dolls."
The Seven Sins looked at Deidara with evil intentions: "Do you want to become a frog? Or a tadpole?"
"Very capable..." Deidara's hands formed clay.
"Okay!" Eric interrupted loudly: "Deidara, don't underestimate someone just because they are female."
Deidara pointed at Eric and protested loudly: "Hey, it's not you who turned into a frog!"
"Pfft!" Eric covered his mouth, his shoulders shaking.
"dare you laugh!?"
"I have undergone strict training. No matter how funny it is, I will not laugh unless I can't help it."
"..."
"Huh," Deidara said arrogantly, "I recognize that your ability is also an art."
"...I'm really grateful."
Seeing that the noisy people finally settled down, Eric led several people to the conference room to hold a combat meeting.
"Zifang, Kong Ming." Eric announced directly: "I have received information that the Yonko Big Mom Pirates and the Navy will jointly attack us."
"Oh?" Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liang looked at each other, raised their hands and asked, "May I ask, Your Majesty, how many enemies are invading?"
"Hmm..." Eric thought for a moment and said, "As for the navy, there are at least ten vice-admirals and twenty warships. The Big Mom Pirate Group will also send out a large number of people, and the Yonko Big Mom may personally take action. "
"There are quite a few people." Zhang Liang nodded.
Eric pointed to the map and explained: "The navy seems to be attacking the waterway from the North Sea, while bigmom's target seems to be the mainland of China."
"Oh?" Zhang Liang was stunned and asked, "Your Majesty, is this information accurate?"
"Yeah." Eric nodded and said, "I speculate that Big Mom's goal is Leonardo da Vinci, and the Navy's goal is to occupy the new waterway."
"That's it..." Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "The enemies have their own agendas, and the pirates and the navy cannot join forces. We will win this war!"
◇
Eric found Yixiao who was training Guina, Runq and Peggy Wan with gravity.
Eric recalled Kong Ming’s strategy:
"Mr. Yixiao is powerful and has a strong sense of justice." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly: "You can ask him to help us to defend the mainland of China. Then our army will have another fighting force, which will increase our winning rate!"
While suppressing the three of them with gravity, Yixiao asked: "Sir Eric, what do you want from me?"
"Mr. Yixiao, what do you think of China?"
"..." Yixiao pondered for a moment and said, "I have been wandering for half my life and have passed through many countries. No country is as good as China."
"That's it." Eric asked for help sincerely: "Mr. Yixiao, right now, China is facing a crisis. Please help us, Mr. Yixiao."
"Oh?" He smiled and then hesitated. He put away his smile and said solemnly: "But it doesn't matter. As long as I can contribute to the common people, I will never refuse."
'Sure enough, it was the same reaction as Zifang and Kongming speculated. Eric said slowly: "The Big Mom Pirates and the Navy have joined forces to attack the Kingdom of China."
Yixiao raised his eyebrows: "The navy will actually join forces with the pirates? And it's also the Yonko pirates?"
"This is not impossible." Eric smiled: "Thirty years ago, the naval hero Garp once teamed up with the pirate king Gol D. Roger to defeat the Rocks Pirates. The huge Rocks Pirates The group immediately fell apart.”
"..." Yixiao heard that Eric was telling the truth: "I really can't believe it..."
"The Navy can join forces with the Pirate King, and the Navy can naturally join forces with the Yonko Pirates. There are no permanent enemies in the world, only permanent interests."
"..." Yixiao's voice was a little hoarse: "Can you tell me the purpose of the navy and pirates joining forces?"
"The navy wants to occupy the newly opened shipping lanes of the Dawn Pirates, and Big Mom wants to attack China and steal Leonardo da Vinci."
"Da Vinci?" Yixia suddenly realized: "Is he the scientist who created the artificial devil fruit?"
"Yes." Eric spread his hands and explained: "Both the navy and the four emperors attach great importance to scientific development. The world government already has Vegapunk, they don't need Da Vinci, and Big Mom has always They are all working hard to develop and try to increase the combat effectiveness of their subordinates."
"Massive production of artificial devil fruits and building an army of espers is a shortcut to increase the strength of the pirate group."
"Mr. Yixiao, if you don't want to fight the navy, I won't force you." Eric looked at Yixiao with burning eyes: "Please fight for the civilians of China and defend the innocent civilians of China!"
Yixiao pursed his lips and said, "It is also my wish to protect the civilians of China."
"I will help Sir Eric and do my best to protect the civilians of China."
Eric finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Eric." Guina stood next to Eric: "This time, I want to fight too!"
Eric frowned: "You are still young."
Guina said loudly: "I'm not young anymore!"
"Only fifteen years old..."
"I have used a real knife and killed a trafficker with my own hands!"
Yixiao suddenly interrupted: "Although Guina is young, her current strength is stronger than ordinary swordsmen."
"Mr. Yixiao..."
"Let Guina join the battle and see how terrifying the real battlefield is." Yixiao said, "I will try my best to protect her."
"..." Eric lowered his shoulders: "I promised Mr. Koushiro that I would protect Kuina's personal safety."
"I will write a certificate myself!" Guina shouted: "Father, he will not blame you, this is my own choice!"
After saying that, Guina picked up the weapon she carried and ran away.
Eric turned his head and looked at Runq and Peggy Wan: "You don't want to join the war too, do you?"
"Huh?" Runq put her hands on her hips and said, "Why should I risk my life for you!?"
"Sister?" Peggy Wan was shocked, and then said to Eric: "I'm very sorry! Sister said something careless."
"Say, talk, no, big, brain!?" Every word, Runq glared at Peggy Wan viciously, and strangled his neck with both arms:
"Just Peitan, how dare you talk to me like that!?"
"It hurts, it hurts!" Peggy begged for mercy repeatedly.
"It's not just a day or two that she speaks harshly."
"And you!" Run Q let go of Peggy Wan and pointed at Eric: "Why do you have to mess with Big Mom and the World Government!?"
"I even killed Kaido, why am I still afraid of an old woman?" Eric curled his lips and said, "This time they are the first to cause trouble."
"Besides, I'm the captain." Eric put a hand on Runq's shoulder: "No matter how big or small you are!"
"Bilibili"
The harsh sound of electric current sounded, and the bones in Runq's body appeared and disappeared under the blazing white lightning.
"Woo--" Runq opened his mouth, spit out a puff of black smoke, and fell straight down.
"Sister!" Peggy Wan hurriedly supported her sister.
Runq said tremblingly: "You, you actually..."
"This is a lesson." Eric squatted down and was eye level with Runq: "Don't worry, I will protect your siblings."
"Wha, what..." Runq was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
"Mr. Yixiao, I would like to trouble you to continue training them during this period." Eric said, "These siblings have great potential."
Yixiao also commented: "Well, their physical fitness is good."
"Humph, that goes without saying!" Runq said proudly: "One day, I will make you cry and beg me: Master Runq, come and protect me!"
"Really, that's really something to look forward to..."
"I have other things to do, so I'm leaving first." Eric nodded to Yixiao and then left in a flash.
…
The members of the Dawn Pirates, who had been informed of the attack by a powerful enemy in advance, began to recharge their batteries. Eric sent Kisame and Deidara to Totland to monitor the movements of the Big Mom Pirates in both the sea and the air.
Eric, Wendy, and Akin moved the islands slightly slower in an attempt to slow down the construction of the new channel.
At this time, the snail fleet of Germa 66 crossed the red earth continent and the windless zone and finally arrived in the Kingdom of China.
Reijiu, who came to greet him, stepped forward and said, "Father."
"Yes." Gaji agreed, carefully looking at his eldest daughter whom he had not seen for nearly two years: "Reijiu, how is your life in China?"
"Everyone in the Dawn Pirates takes good care of me." Reiju added silently in her heart: 'They are more like my family than you. '
"Is that so..." After pondering for a moment, Gaji slowly asked: "When will your and Eric's child... make a noise?"
"..." Leijiu was stunned for a moment, with a blush floating on her face. She seemed shy and angry, and finally turned into a helpless sigh: "Father, he and I haven't... roomed together yet. Read a book."
Gaji was startled: "Eric didn't collect the deposit in advance?"
"..." Reijiu felt as if her blood vessels were about to break through the exoskeleton. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Eric is more emotional and won't..."
"You have come a long way, have a good night's rest." Reijiu led the way: "Eric will not come back until tomorrow."
Vinsmoke and others took a boat through the secret passage under the waterfall, took the elevator to the Baiwu District, and then took a carriage to the Flower Capital.
Niji sat on the carriage and inspected the surrounding buildings with a arrogant expression: "The Kingdom of China is not that good..."
"The country of Wano was even more dilapidated before." Reiju knew her second brother very well: "No one can do better than Eric."
Gaji scolded: "Niji, don't talk outside."
"Yes, Father."
Ahead, the outline of the Flower City gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
