The situation was turbulent, and time was passing by quietly. One month passed in a flash.
During this month, various disturbances continued at sea, but no fierce conflicts broke out for the time being.
But more and more people on the Grand Line began to worry and have trouble sleeping, because this was not a sign of peace, but the calm before the storm.
For example, if a dam stores water, the longer it accumulates, the greater the potential for it to finally erupt.
For example, Doflamingo has become very angry recently.
In the morning, the Pirate Empress called him and asked him to prepare a large amount of arms and supplies, assemble an army, and be ready to join Kuja's expedition fleet at any time.
In the afternoon, Kaido contacted him and asked him to assemble his troops, prepare arms, money and food, and come to Rubble Island to assemble...
Both sides are constantly putting pressure on him, using all kinds of coercion and inducement, asking him to take sides.
This made Brother Ming anxious. He didn't think about food or tea, and the smile gradually disappeared from his face.
Normally, the Don Quixote family likes to have both sides, but now the result is that misfortunes never come singly. They are caught between the two and may fall apart at any time.
It may be a bit ridiculous to say that if Kaido or the Empress weren't afraid of pushing him to the edge and making him jump over the wall and completely fall to the other side, they would have asked the Don Quixote family to openly take sides...
But if you don't solve the problem, dragging it out won't help.
As the imperial war approaches, the patience of both sides has become less and less, and their words and attitudes have become more tough and irritable.
Tianyaksha was sitting in the main hall, thinking hard, and found that he had been trapped in the quagmire of the war between the two emperors, and the only way to break the situation was to find a backer.
After thinking for a long time, he had no choice but to call Diamanti over and said:
"Prepare the boat and go to Hongye Island."
He had no choice but to seek help from the Demon King, whom he hated but had to fawn over. After all, there were not many people who could help him at this stage.
However, in this case, the Don Quixote family may be severely extorted again.
Alas, the world is tough, so we should just lose money to avoid disaster.
………
Hello everyone, my name is X. Drake.
It was already 35 days ago that I joined the Lionheart Pirates, and I have been working as an undercover agent for a while.
In the past month or so, I have witnessed the Lionheart Pirates rise to power at a miraculous speed and quickly dominate the new world.
Currently, the number of pirates in the pirate group has reached 24,000. This is the result of extensive screening. It does not include the number of people in the secret espionage agency. Only the surface team is counted.
At the same time, through continuous battles, the Lionheart Pirates have controlled a total of 31 islands, large and small, accounting for more than 60% of the area controlled by the original Whitebeard Pirates.
This is already quite a large area, and it is considered to be the largest in Shanghai.
The Kingdom of Totland, the base camp of the Four Emperors Bigmom in the Sea of All Nations, only has 35 islands in total (with Cake Island as the main body, there are 34 islands dotted around it).
The Whitebeard Pirates were originally the largest and most powerful pirate group in the New World. The members of the Lionheart Pirates were also extremely powerful. After successfully occupying more than 60% of the White Group's territory, they actually had
The basis for becoming emperor.
In fact, a week later, my eldest brother Wenxi, who serves as the pirate group's propaganda director, plans to hold a press conference to announce that the Lionheart Pirates have become the new kings of the sea.
As a marine, I feel very uncomfortable when I witness an arrogant and evil pirate group becoming the "Five Emperors" and dominating the sea.
Fortunately, I have successfully penetrated into the enemy's interior.
Although my undercover life these days has been quite miserable and I have no access to important secrets for the time being, I have at least passed on the most basic information so that the Navy will not be blinded by the situation here.
But I don’t know why, but I always feel a little frightened when I’m on Hongye Island.
It's a bit weird, as if...there are some eyes in the dark silently watching my every move, controlling and controlling my actions.
This makes me a little uneasy, but I have no clue.
Alas, the world is tough, and being undercover is not easy either.
At the same time, I regretted for the 13th time that I did not stick to my point of view and went to work as an undercover agent in the Beast Pirates.
………
New World, Navy G1 Branch.
As we all know, the second half of the Grand Line is mostly illegal territory and is the territory of pirates. The navy's power here is relatively weak.
Standing tall despite being short, the G1 branch is already the largest, most powerful, and best-located naval branch in the New World.
The sky is blue and the sea breeze is warm. At this time, there are many famous architects and soldiers wearing blue and gray work uniforms busy on the island.
A layer of scaffolding has been set up outside the naval fortress, which is made of masonry and painted with light blue paint. On the construction site, workers and masons are moving bricks, mixing lime and silt, and applying cement to build walls...
...very busy.
Everyone is renovating, expanding, and strengthening this naval fortress.
Two female marines with fair skin, beautiful appearance and graceful figures stood on the high ground nearby, watching the workers who were busy.
"It can be completed within two months, right?"
Artoria's hair was fluttering in the breeze, her bright autumn eyes looked at the fortress under construction, and her voice was clear and sweet.
Next to him, Major General Hina, wearing a rose-red suit, crossed his arms with his hands on his chest, a cigarette in his mouth, and his red lips parted slightly as he said:
"About that. The renovation and expansion project here should be completed a little later than the Chambord Islands, but it will still be much faster than the Judiciary Island, which has been reduced to ruins and needs to be rebuilt from scratch. At least it will not be delayed until half a year.
I just don’t know where the new naval headquarters will be located in the end.”
During this period, the Lionheart Pirates developed rapidly, but their old enemy, the Navy, was also busy building.
Judiciary Island, Chambord Islands, and G1 Branch, these three candidate locations for the new naval headquarters, are all undergoing extensive construction.
And this is not nonsense, Malinfando has sunk into the sea, and Judiciary Island is one of the three major places connected by the "Gate of Justice" and will replace Malinfando.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even if Judicial Island is not selected as the new headquarters, there is still a need to rebuild it as an important branch.
Needless to say, the Champaigne Islands are an important transportation hub that connects the front and rear sections of the Grand Line and are very close to the Holy Land of Mariejoia. It would not be wrong to expand them.
As the most likely location for the new headquarters, the G1 branch naturally needs to be constructed in advance.
"It's just that, to carry out large-scale construction projects in three places at the same time, is the Navy's budget sufficient?" Arturia asked, holding her flowing hair lightly with her bare hands.
The navy had just fought a fierce battle and sunk an island, causing heavy casualties and economic losses.
"Um...it doesn't seem like it's enough."
Rina shook her head and added, "The government said it would allocate funds, but with the stubbornness of senior officials, the money will definitely be counted on each participating country. As expected, the sky gold will increase again this year...
It just so happens that the world conference is to be held in advance.”
Artoria: "..."
(?_?)
Extra gold from heaven?
"Then I guess many people will be unlucky." Arturia sighed in her heart, her fair face expressionless.
The so-called heavenly gold is already very heavy, and even poorer countries cannot get it together (such as Whitebeard's hometown Sphinx).
The charges will be increased now. Those kings and ministers will definitely not be willing to take out their treasures. It is estimated that they will intensify their efforts to plunder the people's wealth and anointing...
Hina held Artoria's hand, shook her head slightly, and said:
"Forget it, don't think about these unhappy things. There are many things that the military can't control at all."
Arturia didn't speak, a little distracted.
In fact, in order to complete the system's tasks, she does not necessarily have to compromise with the world government.
For example, overthrowing the world government, establishing a new government, integrating the naval organization, and ordering the navy marshal to publicly award her the rank of general and the title of hero... Does this count as completing the mission?
Actually, it counts.
The system master doesn't care how you complete the mission, even if you use the ridiculous method of first becoming the king of the world and then appointing yourself as the admiral of the navy, as long as you meet the standards.
Unfortunately, Artoria didn't have time to do this.
She herself can only stay in the OP world for a year or two at most, so how can she have the time and energy to do so many things.
If nothing else, after overthrowing the world government, the order of the OP world will inevitably collapse and it will be in chaos, and another world war will be inevitable.
If the handling and finishing work is not done well, the whole world will be turned into a sea of fire, and countless civilians around the world will die tragically in the war...
The consequences are too serious.
It was too irresponsible to just slap your butt and leave after you had done something yourself, and you didn’t have time to finish it off. So Artoria thought about it and still didn’t fall out with the Five Old Stars.
It's the same reason why Ren didn't kill the Straw Hat Kid and became the Pirate King himself.
First, there is no time and energy.
Second, even if you do this, there is almost no benefit except being busy.
Once you become the king of the world in the OP world, you won't be able to stay. You will have to pack up and leave immediately. You will have to work hard and the system will not give you any extra rewards. In the end, you will be advantaged by the revolutionary army or other careerists.
This kind of effort is thankless and the gain outweighs the loss. In the end, it is just a wedding dress for others. Will Ren do it?
of course not.
Neither does Arturia. Of course, she's not afraid of getting tired, but she's afraid of doing bad things with good intentions and causing too many innocent people to be harmed.
'My stupid sister, the transformation of this world should be left to the children of destiny. The young lady's heart and sense of justice are overflowing. After all, we are not the savior, and we will not stay here for long.'
This is what he advised her to mind her own business.
"Let's go to the conference room."
Artoria looked helpless, feeling that her bratty brother was not talking nonsense or being irresponsible. She suppressed her dissatisfaction with the government and the Celestial Dragons, and took Hina to a nearby small building.
At ten o'clock in the morning, senior navy officials arrived in the conference room on the third floor one after another.
The Warring States Marshal stayed in Mariegioa, and the meeting was presided over by Lieutenant General He who had arrived from the Holy Land a few days ago.
The legendary female navy woman with white hair and wrinkles on her face had a serious expression on her face. She looked around and handed out the information.
"Everyone, this is the information from our secret source. Take a look."
At this time, many naval generals have gathered in the G1 branch.
In addition to the general candidates Hakuryu and Major General Hina, there are also many powerful people such as the general Kizaru, the general candidate Momo Usagi, the naval hero Garp, the captain of the scientific force Zhan Momomaru and so on.
"Tsk, how scary it is. The Lionheart Pirates have only arrived in the New World for more than two months and are already preparing to claim the throne."
Kizaru flipped through the information sent by an undercover agent, smiling, but his tone was still so flat.
However, his words were somewhat surprising.
The Lionheart Pirates have a total of 9 large divisions and 20 affiliated small pirate groups with a total number of more than 24,000. They control 31 islands including Red Leaf Island, Jarbaro Island, Steel Island and Musical Note Island.
The Lions have also established quite complete intelligence, propaganda and logistics departments.
Some people in these departments are hidden in secret and are not counted in the total number of people.
In addition, the Lionheart Pirates have also established contacts or friendly relations with many forces, including:
The Red Haired Pirates, the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Don Quixote family (Joker, arms dealer), the World Economic News Agency (Morgans, the emperor of the underground world), the Revolutionary Army (Dragon), the Bigmom Pirates,
Sea Transport King Umit (Emperor of the Underworld)...
Moreover, it seems that members of the Vinsmoke family from the Germa Kingdom have also been in contact with the Lion Group recently.
Even Kizaru, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, was quite moved when he saw such a huge violent legion and power network.
This is really full of wings, just waiting to become emperor.
"Has that guy come this far?"
Taotu clenched the stack of information tightly with her jade fingers, biting her sexy red lips, with a rather complicated look in her eyes.
data shows that:
The first team of the Lionheart Pirates, the personal guard, has a total number of 500. The captain and deputy captain is "Fire Dragon" Nana. Her latest bounty value: 1.68 billion Baileys.
The second division of the Lion Regiment, an attack force, numbered 1,000, and its captain is Douglas Barrett, the "Descendant of the Devil". His latest bounty value is: 1.36 billion Baileys.
The third division of the Lion Regiment, a guerrilla and support force, with a total number of 1,000, captain "Dark Swordsman" Ame no Shiru, the latest bounty value: 1.115 billion Baileys.
Note: Identified as a natural-type Dark Fruit ability user. Recently, dozens of Devil Fruit ability users were bloody massacred, putting everyone in the new world in danger...
Lions Division 4, Offensive Team 2, 1,000 people, captain Rob Lucci, latest bounty value: 350 million Baileys.
Note: His strength has improved rapidly, and he once killed an old pirate with a bounty of 300 million beli in one blow.
…
The Seventh Division of the Lion Regiment, a mopping up force, numbering 500, captain and propaganda minister Wen Xi, latest bounty: 400 million Baileys.
Note: The strength of the superhuman Momo Fruit user is unknown, but he is by no means as weak as rumored.
…
The ninth division of the Lion Regiment, supervising team, 500 people, captain Kaku, latest bounty: 250 million Baileys.
Affiliated pirate group, captain list:
"Ice Witch" Waidibe, the number of pirates is 986...Rumba...Eruwan...Werewolf Gabra...
In addition, the former "Queen of Happy Street" Stussy and the former CP9 member Khalifa, the two are the heads of the intelligence department and the captain's secretary, the waitress... Stusy has a bounty of 900 million beli, and Khalifa has a bounty of 120 million.
Wan Bailey.
…
There is a lot of information, and all of it shows how powerful the Lionheart Pirates are.
There are no weak points except for the middle backbone which will take some time to grow.
Taotu clenched his teeth as he looked at it, but he was helpless.
She was almost killed by Ren in the Shampoo Islands. As a proud strong woman, she actually always wanted to take revenge and go back.
But now it seems that she is getting further and further away from him.
You don't even have to do it yourself, Ren can send one of his men to deal with her.
After all, the last step has not been taken yet. Momotu is not even sure of defeating Yu Shiru, who became extremely ferocious after eating the natural-type Dark Fruit, let alone Barrett and Fire Dragon Nana.
"It's really scary. The swordsman Ren has only entered the new world for more than two months, and the war on the top has been less than three months." Zhan Momomaru muttered.
"Indeed, I feel a little bit hairy after seeing it." Kizaru shrugged.
"The tail is too big to fall off."
"Yes, it's already the era of the Demon King."
In the conference room, many senior navy officials shook their heads with worry in their eyes.
Seeing the pirate force that sank Marinefando and defeated the admiral develop so quickly and live so comfortably, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.
Playing with the Queen of Happy Street and the cold and charming female killer, having a bunch of brave generals and younger brothers, chatting and laughing with the other four emperors and the bosses of the underground world...
Emmm, after the Demon King offended the Death Navy, not only did he not suffer retribution, but he also had a better time.
"Okay, don't let other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige."
The highly respected Lieutenant General He patted the table, and everyone fell silent. She took a deep breath, her eyes a little tired and a little worried, and said:
"Next week, the Lionheart Pirates will officially proclaim themselves emperor... The navy cannot do anything without any response. Please tell me, what should we do and respond to?"
