Chapter 565 Countdown (two in one, ask for a monthly ticket)(1/3)
In fact, Luffy, Zoro and Sanji were relatively lucky. At least they all landed safely.
Unlucky ones like Nami, Robin, Usopp and Franky haven't flown anywhere yet.
Like the even more unlucky mascot Chopper, who was almost thrown into a pot to make soup...
In fact, these are not problems. The biggest problem is the unfathomable depth of Big Bear.
Not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of mental insight and other aspects.
For example, the place where he shot the Straw Hats flying was so suitable for everyone, it was almost like it was tailor-made.
Of course, that may not always be the case.
At least Sanji definitely wouldn't think so!
One thing that is certain is that at least Big Bear has set foot in these areas, and has enough knowledge of the characteristics of each place.
It is absolutely impossible to send these people to a place suitable for training themselves by just shooting them away.
At the same time, it also shows that Big Bear is also silently paying attention to the Straw Hats and understands them better than the Navy.
Gee, what a terrifying man!
I don’t know what he is planning?
…
Marine Fando at the Navy Headquarters was as busy as ever, looking in full swing no matter day or night.
Every day, lieutenant generals from all over the world return to their headquarters with the elites of their respective fleets.
These are truly elite, all of them are captain-level officers. They can be said to be the most elite part of a base.
If there are pirates attacking the naval base at this time... in fact, they may lose all their money, because every naval base is a war fortress, and except for the big pirates, the general pirate group is not enough to watch.
This is one of the reasons why the navy suppresses pirates around the world.
Except for what happened in the four seas, there really weren't many idiots on the Grand Line who attacked naval bases.
——Golden Lion and Kaido cannot be counted, these are the real bosses!
Although I'm a bit of a brainiac.
As of the third day before the execution, the Navy Headquarters already had eighteen vice-admirals.
Including veteran lieutenant generals with general combat capabilities led by Garp and He, as well as elite Mesozoic lieutenant generals headed by Flying Squirrel, Huo Shaoshan, Dauberman, etc.
There are also young lieutenant generals like Smoker and Drake.
In addition, there are four giant navy vice-admirals.
As well as major generals such as Ain, Tina, and Vincent, whose combat capabilities are no weaker than those of lieutenant generals. There are many other major generals, brigadiers, etc., and it can be said that the generals are like a cloud.
Xunhe Enelu has even more foul combat power. Such a guy with the strength of a quasi-general is definitely a killer on the battlefield.
Especially Enelu, with his current strength, he may be second only to the three generals of the navy in terms of large-scale AOE.
That guy Caesar is just not good at fighting. Otherwise, if he comes here, if his abilities are fully developed, he might be even more foul than Enel.
Mainly because it is almost impossible to guard against when used to trick people on a chaotic battlefield.
The current lineup is still headed by two lieutenant generals, Gion and Kake, who have other important matters outside. Otherwise, the navy's combat power configuration will be more luxurious.
Former general Zefa did not participate in this battle against Whitebeard, otherwise the navy would have had eight generals this time.
Plus King Shichibukai.
If these people all gave their best...
Even if Whitebeard can split into two or three persons, there is no hope for the entire Whitebeard Pirates to regain their strength.
This is the foundation of the Navy!
As for the high school officers like Dasqi, Keno, and Nuoqi, they can only be regarded as slightly stronger cannon fodder.
People like Kerby and Belumeber are even more cannon fodder among cannon fodder.
Because the lowest rank for all soldiers this time is non-commissioned officer, lieutenant officer is the mainstream combat force, and there are also school officers everywhere.
Only colonels and even generals are the mainstay of this battle.
It can be said that the combat power was raised to an extremely high ceiling in one fell swoop.
Inside the marshal's office.
Garp is not here at this time. Because of Ace's execution, old Garp has not been in a good mood these days.
But what the Warring States Period has decided, no one can stop now.
In fact, when Ace was caught by Blackbeard, the situation before him was already predictable.
The difference between Sengoku and Garp is that he knows what he wants to do and what he can do in his position as marshal of the navy.
It's not that he has no emotions, it's just that this position requires him to suppress his emotions and not act out of emotion when dealing with anything.
This is also why in the plot, after Sengoku stepped down from the position of marshal, he looked completely different from before, turning into a funny old man, a perfect replica of Garp - that was who he was originally wrapped in the coat of navy marshal.
What it really looks like.
Not so with Mawson.
He has a good relationship with Sengoku, but his ideas are very different from his. On the contrary, his thoughts and actions are very similar to Garp's.
Mawson does not regard the Navy's rules as his own code of conduct. He has his own set of standards for conduct.
Many times, he didn't quite agree with the Warring States' methods of doing things. For example, after Roger's death, he ordered many pregnant women at that time to be investigated one by one because he suspected that Roger had blood. Any suspicious ones would end badly in the end.
.This is undoubtedly a disregard for human life in Mawson's view, but the entire navy and most of the people obviously do not think there is anything wrong with doing so.
Like Ace being publicly executed now, not only was it to attract Whitebeard, Sengoku was also determined to destroy Ace. This was naturally because Ace inherited Roger's sinful bloodline.
Nothing is trivial when it comes to Roger, let alone the continuation of his bloodline.
Mawson understands the outcome of the big event. Although it is true that he has a good relationship with Warring States, his relationship with old man Garp is even closer. Regarding this big event, he sides with Garp.
——Ace is not only the grandson of Old Man Garp, but also his student.
So Mawson also made some arrangements. He wanted to find a way to get the best of both worlds... although it's not that easy.
In addition to Sengoku Mawson, there is also a lieutenant general wearing the navy's cloak of justice.
He was reporting the military situation to Sengoku: "Marshal Sengoku, the Whitebeard Pirates have completely lost their trace since they entered the waters of Mobejanmuru.
All 25 surveillance ships that originally monitored the Whitebeard Pirates have lost contact, and the situation is probably in danger.
Because of the special magnetic field in that sea area, all our exploration methods have lost their effect, which means... we have completely lost control of the whereabouts of the Whitebeard Pirates."
"25 ships? All missing?!"
Warring States' eyes widened, and he understood what this meant, "Drake, please mobilize another 25, no, 30 surveillance ships, and ask them to pay close attention. They must find Whitebeard's traces as soon as possible, and report any situation in a timely manner!
"
"Yes, Marshal of the Warring States Period!" Drake nodded in agreement.
Mawson stood aside. He naturally knew how Whitebeard's group came to the Navy Headquarters, but it was hard to explain clearly.
What's more...
"Old man from the Warring States Period, there is no need to be so cautious. Judging from the current formation of our headquarters, even if the four emperors of the New World arrive together, they will still be able to fight. Although Whitebeard is powerful, he will not be the opponent of the navy.
Our arrangements have been completed, it is the Whitebeard Pirates who should worry."
Zeng Guo's expression is still serious. He has been like this these days, rarely looking relaxed.
After listening to Mo Sen's words, he frowned and reprimanded: "Don't underestimate your enemy Mo Sen at any time. When you are proud and underestimate the enemy, that is when you fail.
We must not let down our guard against Whitebeard. His ability can destroy the world, and even the current Navy headquarters is not completely sure of it.
If you continue to have this proud mentality, danger will find you.
Besides, how do you know that he will obediently enter our encirclement, what if he directly attacks Impel Down City and chooses the battlefield there?"
Mo Sen quickly raised his hands and begged for mercy.
It was obvious that Sengoku was in an over-stressed state now. He knew that the power of the Whitebeard Fruit was powerful, but it still did not exceed the human level.
If Whitebeard's fruit ability is developed to the point where one punch can shake the planet, no matter how many people they have, it will be for nothing.
Can Whitebeard?!
Moreover, Mawson, who knew the plot, knew that the Whitebeard Pirates would appear directly at the headquarters of Chris Square on that day, which was in front of Ace's execution platform.
But there is no way Mo Sen can tell Warring States this. You can’t say he knows the future, right?
In fact, there is some truth in what the Warring States Period said. After all, compared with the original Ding Shang War, there are already many differences.
Who knows if Whitebeard will actually march directly into the city!
If that's the case, everything the Navy has set up at the headquarters will be in vain.
"In this case, do you need me to go to Push City to garrison, just in case?"
Warring States waved his hand: "No, you still have to deal with those Shichibukai under the king. I will ask Kizaru to go there and wait until the execution day before rushing back. He is fast and will not delay things."
To be continued...
