One Piece Superman One Piece World

Chapter 739: Counterattack, Public Execution! (Two in One)

Long's attack speed was so fast that even an elite like Smoker had no way to react. By the time he felt the force coming from his throat and the strong feeling of suffocation, Smoker's sight was already occupied by Long's half-smiling face.

"Marine, go and release Luffy."

"I think you should be aware of the difference in strength between you and me. I don't want to make the relationship with you new navy too awkward."

"But if you don't know what's happening, I won't show mercy either."

"I don't think the New Navy will become completely hostile to our Revolutionary Army just for a young general like you."

Until this moment, the dragon, who had an absolute advantage in strength, still adopted a "negotiating" attitude when talking to Smoker. Although the feeling revealed in his words was extremely strong and overbearing, considering his strength, saying such words now could be considered a bit "gentle".

If it were those big pirates who roamed the sea, there would be no way they would waste time talking to Smoker. After killing Smoker, they would naturally have plenty of time to achieve their goals, whether it was releasing Luffy or killing other ordinary navy officers. They could do whatever they wanted.

From this aspect, it can be seen that the title of the New Navy is more or less of some use to people like Long.

He wanted to force Smoker to surrender, but unfortunately, Smoker was not the kind of person who would give in under the power. Even when facing a dragon whose strength far exceeded his own, he still had no intention of giving in.

"You want me to release Straw Hat Luffy?"

"Haha, if you have the ability, just kill me and then release it yourself!"

"Long, do you have some misunderstanding about our new navy?"

"It's impossible for me to do what you want!!"

A strong feeling of suffocation surged into his brain, but even so, Smoker still opened his mouth with difficulty to express his position.

What Dragon will do is Dragon's business. Although Smoker knows that the other party can still rescue Straw Hat Luffy after killing him, his struggle at this time is just in vain. With his strength, it is impossible to stop what Dragon is going to do.

But even if the results are the same, if the processes are different, the meanings they represent are completely different.

If Smoker takes the initiative to release Luffy under the pressure from Dragon, the impact of this incident will not just be a matter of Smoker's life alone.

He represents the navy. As a general officer, his every move represents the face of the new navy. Once the label of being afraid of death is attached to the generals of the new navy, it will become very difficult to wash it off.

It is extremely difficult to restore the shaken morale of the army.

Moreover, since the establishment of the new navy, no navy has ever succumbed to pirates or other forces out of fear of death.

It is even more impossible for Smoker to start this!
Smoker's toughness was actually within Long's expectations. He didn't say anything, but gradually increased the strength in his hands.

During the time when the two men were fighting, the other navy men on the deck reacted quickly after a brief shock.

The appearance of the dragon was too sudden, and Smoker's defeat was so quick that after the incident, many navy soldiers did not realize what had happened and were still out of the situation.

When the sailors came to their senses, they saw their commander being captured by a cloaked stranger. Realizing that something was wrong, they surrounded Long with weapons in hand.

While charging towards the dragon, he let out a series of loud shouts, ordering the dragon to let Smoker go.

If these new navy were placed in a place like the Four Seas, they would be considered an elite force. Each of them would be an outstanding soldier who could fight ten enemies alone. However, in front of Long, these new navy were no different from small fry. To him, he could easily deal with one small fry, and so could he easily deal with a hundred small fry.

Without even looking at the new navy who were surrounding him, Long stretched out his left hand and a hurricane arose on the sea. The whirlwind centered on the dragon and quickly blew towards the new navy around him. Long and Smoker were in the eye of the storm and were not affected at all.

"Everyone. Let's go!"

Due to lack of oxygen, Smoker's brain became increasingly dizzy, and his voice became weak and silent. He clearly wanted to shout to his subordinates to leave quickly, but his voice could not reach the ears of those navy officers at all.

But Long obviously heard what Smoker said. Hearing this, he curled his lips slightly, pressed his left hand slightly, and the wind pressure around him decreased a little. Then he said to Smoker:

"You don't want your subordinates to die here in such a cowardly way, do you?"

"How about we make a deal? I'll let your men go, and you let my son go."

"After this is over, I don't need you to cover up for me. You just need to report the facts to your superiors. How do you think?"

No one knows what Dragon is thinking at this moment. His words and actions show that he wants Smoker to release Straw Hat Luffy on his own initiative. Perhaps in his opinion, the nature of Smoker's "active" release is different from his release of Luffy.

In fact, this is true. When encountering such a thing, Long also intends to make a fuss about it and use this method to slightly undermine the prestige of the new navy.

When Tsugikuni Yoshiichi was acting in compensation to the Kingdom of Compensation, he obviously did not take the face of the Revolutionary Army into consideration. Without saying a word, he sent two natural system soldiers to suppress the two army commanders of the Revolutionary Army.

In order to avoid further escalation of the conflict, Long had no intention of intercepting the boat, but this did not mean that Long had no temper at all.

It was a perfect opportunity. Dragon felt that it was necessary to use the act of rescuing Luffy to suppress the New Navy's arrogance and highlight the presence of the Revolutionary Army.

Long quietly waited for Smoker's answer. At this time, on the deck of the warship, in order to resist the inexplicable hurricane, the sailors either leaned over to the ground, using their own weight to stabilize their bodies, or grabbed the nearest railings, handrails or other things to prevent themselves from being blown away.

The navy officers were blown all over the place and had no time to attack the dragon.

When faced with the dragon's repeated questioning, Smoker still had the same expression, his lips tightly closed, trying to stay awake, staring at the dragon, completely unmoved.

After a few seconds of stalemate, Long naturally understood the answer chosen by Smoker.

"Yeah."

"That's your answer."

Long spoke in a low voice and shook his head silently, then raised his left hand upwards. The next moment, the wind pressure increased several times. When the sea water splashed, some sea water was swept into this terrible hurricane.

The sailors on the deck could no longer maintain their bodies at this moment. Several lighter sailors who were leaning over the deck were first swept up by the hurricane, and were blown into the air with screams, and then their figures disappeared in the dark wall of wind.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and more and more navy men disappeared from the deck.

Even those sailors who were holding onto the steel railings were unable to avoid the hurricane. Some were blown away due to exhaustion, while others were swept into the hurricane along with the railings and disappeared without a trace.

But the strange thing is that although all the navy were affected by the hurricane, only the unconscious Coby and Carrot were lying quietly on the deck without being affected at all.

Around the two men, there was a wall of wind whose direction was unclear, resisting the hurricane on the sea and easily protecting the two men. Long's control over the devil fruit ability had already reached its peak. The devil fruit ability had long been awakened, and he could do many things that others could not imagine.

Smoker's body gradually went limp under the dragon's grip, and soon his head tilted and he fell into a complete coma.

Long thought for a moment, but finally did not kill him. After strangling Smoker unconscious, he loosened his grip and threw Smoker onto the deck.

The deck was empty at this time, with only three unconscious people lying quietly.

The roaring hurricane all around gradually disappeared, but the dark clouds in the sky did not disappear just because the dragon stopped.

"He's really a troublesome guy."

Long lowered his eyes to glance at Smoker lying on the ground, shook his head slightly, then walked to Coby and Carrot, lifted the boy and girl on his shoulders, and walked towards the entrance of the cabin.

Not long after Long entered the cabin, muffled noises were heard inside.

After more than ten minutes, the warship became quiet and no more noise was made.

Merlin Ford, Naval Headquarters.

At noon, there was a sudden knock on the door of Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's office. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, who was handling official business at the desk, raised his head and looked towards the door, then said loudly:
"Enter!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, and Brannew walked hurriedly into the office and walked quickly towards Ji Guoyuan.

"General, there is an urgent matter here that needs your personal attention. It came from Wan Guo."

As he spoke, Brannew placed a document on Yuichiro Tsugikoku's desk.

"All nations?"

Upon hearing that it was an urgent matter from Wan Guo, Tsugakuni Yoriichi couldn't help but shrink his pupils. Now that the Navy Headquarters and the New Navy have merged, Tsugakuni Yoriichi is in charge of Marinford as the admiral, and all matters of Wan Guo, big or small, are decided by Yixiao.

The urgent matter sent by Wanguo needs to be handled personally by Jiguo Yuanyi, which means that Yixiao dare not make the decision by himself and needs Jiguo Yuanyi to make it. This matter...I am afraid that the impact on the navy will be very great.

Quickly taking the document, Tsugikoku Yuichi also quickly reviewed it. The content was a short message;
"The Smokers from Hazel Island were intercepted while escorting Straw Hat Luffy to Cake Island."

"General Smoker is seriously injured and unconscious, 18 sailors are missing, 0 are injured, and the death toll is temporarily recorded as ."

"It can be basically confirmed that the criminal who intercepted the ship is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, and his purpose is to rescue his son, Straw Hat Luffy."

"At the same time, the Hazel Island Naval Branch was attacked. 28 prisoners escaped, including two Straw Hat Pirates crew members. 63 were injured and 0 died."

After a short message, there is a more detailed explanation, starting from Il Sho's chance encounter with the Straw Hat Pirates on Hazelnut Island to their suppression of the other party, and then Il Sho ordered Smoker to escort the serious criminal to Cake Island.

There is the cause of the incident, as well as the subsequent course of events and some detailed time details.

After Ji Guoyuan carefully reviewed the document, he understood why Yixiao did not make a direct decision on this matter but reported it to him.

"Dragon"

The most troublesome person in this incident is not the escaped Straw Hat Luffy and others, but that guy Dragon, who broke into the World of Nations, intercepted the New Navy's ships, and let the prisoners go. Each of these things is equivalent to shitting on the head of the New Navy.

This situation is far more serious than the situation in which the navy captured two commanders of the revolutionary army in the Kingdom of Compensation.

Wanguo is not any other place, it is the sphere of influence of the New Navy. If the New Navy does not have any countermeasures to the shit being done on its own territory, I am afraid that those ambitious people in the New World may have some thoughts about the New Navy.

The dragon can tease the tiger's whiskers. Wouldn't those self-important pirates have such thoughts in their minds? !

But
Long's identity is indeed a bit troublesome. He is a member of the Revolutionary Army. The New Navy and the Revolutionary Army have always had a subtle tacit understanding. It is not just as simple as not interfering with each other. In some matters, the two forces have even cooperated.

But once something like this happens, this subtle tacit understanding will probably be difficult to maintain.

The new navy cannot do nothing, but if they decide to do something, the impact will not be small.

Now, the primary task of the navy led by Yoshiichi Tsugakuni is to completely replace the World Government and take control of power. Collecting the Sky Gold is only the first step. They still have a lot of things to do next, and they need to make the influence of the navy truly affect every member country in the world.

The navy’s next opponents will be all the nobles in this world.

However, the sudden intervention of the Revolutionary Army at this time is likely to push some of the lower-class people to the opposite side of the Navy.

It is true that the Revolutionary Army is the world's number one criminal, but their reputation among the lower classes is quite good.

Being completely opposed to the Revolutionary Army would do more harm than good to the navy at this stage.

But
Ji Guoyuanyi understood the principle of striking the first blow to avoid a hundred blows.

This kind of thing must be countered, and the counterattack must be fast.

After thinking for a moment, Jiguo Yuanyi looked up at Brannew and asked, "Where is Sakaski?"

Before coming here, Brannew had obviously had a brief understanding of the contents of the document. When he suddenly heard Ji Guoyuanyi ask this, he was stunned. He did not expect Ji Guoyuanyi to ask such a question.

"General Sakaski? He should be on his way back. I will go check his exact location right away. Sorry, General."

Branyu turned around and was about to leave when he heard Tsugikoku Yoshiichi say behind him:

"No matter where he is now, inform him and ask him to return to headquarters as soon as possible."

"The two revolutionary army commanders he was escorting on board will be publicly executed after they arrive at the headquarters."

"We also invite the leaders of the member countries of the World Government who were eligible to attend the World Conference in previous years to come to the Navy Headquarters to observe the ceremony."

“Those who cannot be present are requested to send representatives.”

"After the public execution, we will start a new world conference with our navy as the leader!"
