In New Marineland, in the Admiral's office, Sakaski was holding the latest military order issued by the World Government, his expression became extremely solemn:
"This day is finally coming..."
He participated in the battle meeting of the Five Old Stars with the commander-in-chief of the army, Sora. Although he did not want to start a war with the Dawn Pirates so early, this time it was an excellent opportunity.
In the past, it was the Dawn Pirates who took the initiative in war, and the navy was forced to fight.
This time, it was the other way around. The navy was prepared in advance and Kui Long was forced to attack.
"This time, I will burn you to ashes..." Sakaski clenched his fist, and the paper military order was immediately ignited by the magma.
The chants of naval officers gathering could be heard outside the window. Countless sailors wearing military caps and white tops and dark blue trousers came out of the barracks one after another to assemble, and formed a long queue to board the warships docked at the port.
"Marshal Sakaski!" Sakaski's deputy knocked on the door and came in, saluted and reported: "The bubble lift cable car in Red Harbor has transported 30% of the sailors."
"Very good." Sakaski nodded with satisfaction: "Try to send all the Marines of Marinefando to Mariejoia within today."
"Marshal..." the deputy asked hesitantly: "Aren't we leaving some manpower here?"
Sakaski glanced at him and said, "The main target of the Dawn Pirates is Mariejoia, not Marinevando."
"But no one is stationed at Marineland. What if the Dawn Pirates split up and attack...what should the navy families living here do?"
Sakaski opened his mouth, but could not say the words "They should share the worries of the Navy". He realized that the family of the deputy in front of him also lived in Marineland. This question was not so much for other people. He said he was asking for himself.
"...Separate a few warships to persuade the residents to leave here and let them take refuge on other islands."
"Yes!" the deputy saluted and left the room.
On the third day after the meeting, Eric used the ability of teleportation to gather the scattered members into one place.
"Is this the first time that the staff is so full?"
"Um."
Qi Zui looked around. Since the stalls in Shenzhou Kingdom had been too large in recent years, she did not have close relationships with many of her companions. She huddled in a corner and whispered to Yoshino.
"Want to go?" Deidara said excitedly: "I will make Mariejoia a huge ruin that cannot be restored. Hmm."
"If you don't shut up, I'll chop you off from the neck up."
"..." Deidara glanced at Esdeath and wisely closed his mouth.
"Do you really want to go to Mary Joa?" Kuzan stared at Eric with burning eyes.
Eric nodded slowly, with cold eyes, and asked, "Kuzan, can you do anything to your former colleagues and subordinates?"
Kuzan raised his hand to scratch his cheek and said with a wry smile, "I don't know until then, but I know that what the World Government is doing is wrong."
"That's right." Zefa said in a cold tone: "To actually execute innocent people, the world government is really getting more and more..."
"Okay~" Perona waved her hand angrily to interrupt: "We don't want to listen to your nonsense."
"..."
"Sir Eric." Princess Otohime, who attended the pre-war meeting, said, "We fishmen warriors will accompany the army to the war."
"Thank you very much." Eric nodded and said, "The advantage of the fishmen is naval warfare. When the time comes, the fishmen will be responsible for attacking Red Harbor."
"learn."
"My Nine Snakes Pirates are also..." Hancock said anxiously.
"Empress, the female pirates under your command are all weak, right?" Kakuzu said bluntly.
"You dare to interrupt my speech and insult the Nine Snakes Pirates. If you want to die..."
"Okay, okay~" Eric smoothed things over: "We are all a family, don't quarrel."
"Sir Eric..." Hancock's eyes immediately glowed with pink hearts.
"Kakuzu, you too, thanks to this world, otherwise there will be a lot of little
The fairy has to rush you. "
Kakuzu didn't understand the meaning of Eric's words and could only remain silent.
Eric quickly finalized the personnel for the battle under the advice of Kong Ming and Zhang Liang, but not many people were willing to give up the opportunity to attack Mariejoia, so Eric had to leave it to Hashirama. Hashirama also liked the job and agreed to stay. Shou Jia, the others plan to attack the Holy Land together.
The sky was cloudless, and the sun scorched the nuns on the cross and the soldiers surrounding them.
"How long will we have to suffer..."
"It's been three days..."
The feet guarding the naval activity station outside were numb, and some people could not help but complain:
"Why should we also be tortured..."
"Shut up!" An officer turned around and glared at the complaining soldier: "You can't even stand for a few hours every day, why do you have the nerve to be a sailor?"
"..." The soldiers lowered their heads, but in their hearts they were angry and dissatisfied with the leader's words.
"I heard that this nun did not commit any crime."
"She is the director of an orphanage. She was sentenced to death by the world government for raising the orphan Kui Long..."
Some agents were also whispering.
In order to deal with various emergencies, the alert level of the Holy Land has been raised to the highest level. Heavily armed soldiers can be seen everywhere in Mariegio, and patrol teams are on duty 24 hours a day.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the soldiers' field of vision.
The soldier shouted in shock: "Yes, it's Kui Long!"
In the eyes of tens of thousands of sailors, Eric punched the cross in an attempt to rescue Joanna who was tied to it.
However, the cross that was struck by the fist did not move at all, and Eric's fist became limp.
"Inlaid with sea floor stone?!" Eric frowned.
"That's right!" An old yet majestic male voice sounded from behind: "This will be your burial place!"
The dazzling sword light flashed like a meteor, and Eric turned around to take the next sword: "I've never seen you before...who are you?"
The old man in front of him with his hair and beard shaped like a crescent moon replied: "The current commander of the Knights of God, Saint Fegaland Geiringer."
"Dragon people?" Eric narrowed his eyes and mocked, "I didn't expect there would be people claiming to be saints."
Fegaland Geiringer said calmly: "You are the second pirate who dares to attack the Celestial Dragons."
"Oh? Who is the first one?" Eric asked with a smile on his face: "I want to pay my respects to him."
"Locus D. Gibek." Saint Geiringer replied expressionlessly, "You will meet him soon."
"That's hard to say." Eric waved the fire-tip spear vigorously, and a pure force came along the blade. Saint Geiringer slid back more than ten meters with his feet on the ground.
At the same time, more than a dozen figures emerged from the crowd and attacked Eric in the center of the square.
Wulaoxing planned to maximize the value of the hostages and tie Eric here.
But the Dawn Pirates didn't agree. The air doors opened one after another and they rushed out.
