Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

After Raleigh's Grandmaster promotion ceremony, Sakazuki, who was stationed on the front lines of the Grand Line and the Four Seas, was the first to make a move.

"General Sakazuki, everything is ready."

Sakazuki's deputy has now been replaced by Major General Miles.

Although Miles's apparent strength is only that of an Admiral, everyone knows that Miles is Raleigh's apprentice.

However, the second apprentice, Belo Betty, was unknown to outsiders.

Therefore, no one had any objection to Miles being Sakazuki's right-hand man.

Sakazuki rarely smiled.

well.

As expected, Raleigh was one of his own.

Only with Raleigh in power can Sakazuki's pursuit of justice be realized.

Although his primary wish was still to fight pirates, after analyzing the situation with Raleigh, he realized that dealing with pirates needed to be done step by step.

First and foremost is absolute control over the Grand Line and the four seas!

The first half of the Grand Line is now completely under the control of the Navy, and there are almost no pirates appearing in the first half of the Grand Line.

There is a large population in the world.

Raleigh once said during his analysis that the public is blindly obedient, and if the navy does not take the initiative to control it, such a huge force will be controlled by other forces.

For example, right now, the Four Seas are blocked by the Revolutionary Army. Although the pirates have been converted by the Revolutionary Army, the Navy is also unable to receive reinforcements from the Four Seas.

Sakazuki stood at the very front of the warship, his gaze fixed intently on the doldrums ahead.

"Set off!"

Hundreds of ships of various sizes, centered around Sakazuki's flagship, plunged into the calm zone. At the forefront of the fleet was an elite fleet of vice admirals led by Doberman, Onigumo, and Fire Mountain.

They were responsible for dealing with the small sea monsters that suddenly appeared.

The world turned its attention to this place after Sakazuki disappeared into the Doldrums.

The navy's advanced technology has not yet been revealed to the outside world, and most people think it is a gamble with their lives on the line.

Only the navy knows how powerful its current naval technology is.

After Sakazuki disappeared in the Calm Belt, the Revolutionary Army's high command took it very seriously.

Although they also believed that the cost of crossing the Calm Belt would certainly be high, they dared not ignore it.

A large number of revolutionary soldiers were deployed by Long around the Calm Belt, and a dozen regional commanders were jointly responsible for resisting the attack.

One day - three days.

A week has passed, and people around the world have changed their minds, with some even expressing doubts.

"Did it fail?"

I, Zhuo, have said it before: the Calm Belt cannot be defeated by humanity.

Sure enough, this foolish commander gave a stupid order that sent an admiral and a naval soldier to their deaths.

Pirates in the New World even held bonfire parties for this reason.

Even within the revolutionary army, there was a slight slackening of morale.

Inside the Kingdom of Sobel, Long frowned deeply. Unlike the ordinary soldiers, he wasn't optimistic; he was well aware of the navy's strength.

Neither Raleigh nor Sakazuki are easy opponents.

Moreover, there's Vegapunk in the Navy!

If anyone in this world could develop the technology to travel through the Calm Belt, that person would be Belial Punk.

With this in mind, Long conveyed the order to the regional head to be on high alert.

However, when the command is passed down, some minor changes always occur.

For example, the revolutionary soldiers stationed in West Heisenzo Port still maintained the habit of changing shifts.

However, they had already become mentally lax.

In the dead of night, a ship without lights, like a ghost, silently emerged from the Calm Belt. Sakazuki had been waiting for an opportunity in the Calm Belt—the moment when the Revolutionary Army relaxed its guard.

Therefore, Sakazuki, who had already reached the doldrums of the Western Sea, stayed there for three days.

He was well aware of the public opinion both globally and within the Navy over those three days.

To his delight, Raleigh continued to support all his decisions without ever asking why.

Soon, the ghost ship had scouted the Revolutionary Army's defensive positions. Elite naval musketeers, using the high-precision muskets developed by Vegapunk, fired at the Revolutionary Army soldiers on guard duty from a distance of several hundred meters.

After completing its mission, the ghost ship returned to the doldrums.

Reporting to General Sakazuki, my unit has completed its mission and cleared the outer ring of Revolutionary Army outposts.

Sakazuki nodded; everything was going as he had expected.

The careless enemy is unaware that the reaper of slaughter often descends in the dead of night.

A large number of warships appeared silently outside the harbor of Senzo. By the time the revolutionary soldiers finally noticed, many naval soldiers were already landing.

"Enemy attack!"

The revolutionary soldiers shouted desperately, their whistles blaring.

"Snapped!"

After a gunshot, the revolutionary soldier fell to the ground.

However, his mission was accomplished; he had alerted some already vigilant revolutionary soldiers.

Sakazuki glanced at it indifferently.

From this moment on, there is no need to hide the battle anymore.

When the navy began its landing, the revolutionary soldiers had already lost.

"kill!!!

A cacophony of shouts erupted as naval soldiers, swords in hand, stormed into the revolutionary army's quarters like tigers descending a mountain.

The revolutionary soldiers, just awakened, were still weak in the knees and their weapons and equipment were still hanging on the wall.

One by one, brave and skilled naval soldiers rushed in and began the massacre.

Revolutionary soldiers who resisted stubbornly and tried to escape were killed on the spot, while those who knelt down and surrendered when they saw that things were not going well were ignored by the naval soldiers.

Revolutionary soldiers are ultimately different from pirates; they are merely rebellious civilians.

Even Sakazuki did not issue the order to annihilate them all.

Revolutionary Army regional commander Rudolf Swinburne wanted to rally soldiers for resistance, but he was spotted by Doberman.

"Counterattack! Counterattack!"

Rudolf Swinburne gripped his longsword and roared wildly.

His appearance also united the scattered revolutionary soldiers, and many people gradually gathered around him.

You are mine!

With a loud roar, Doberman fell from the sky, his military knife mercilessly slashing towards Rudolf Swinburne's face.

"Get out of the way!"

Rudolf Swinburne was shocked; his strength was no match for that of a vice admiral.

To avoid Doberman's attack, he had to dodge to the side.

However, it caused great harm to the revolutionary soldiers surrounding him.

Their strength was no match for the Vice Admiral's sword strike, and they fell like wheat in swathes.

"kill!"

The Oni Spider also noticed the anomaly and, waving its eight arms, swept over like a meat grinder.

"Go to hell."

Rudolf Swinburne's eyes gleamed with a glint of rage; he wished he could multiply and stop these damned vice admirals.

—It's all in vain—.

In just one hour, all the revolutionary soldiers stationed on the island had been defeated.

Naval soldiers escorted a large number of prisoners toward their quarters.

Miles walked up to Sakazuki with a beaming smile, looked up and congratulated him!

"General Sakazuki, we have won a great victory!"

Sakazuki's expression, however, showed no joy. "It's just a small island. What's there to be proud of? Our goal is the entire world."

"Notify the generals to lead the soldiers to quickly clear the battlefield, and then divide the troops to attack according to the original plan. The strategic objective must be completed before dawn."

This small island in front of him is not even worth a glance from Sakazuki.

The area is too small to serve as a major rear supply depot; the only option is to advance and conquer a kingdom.

Only then can the forces of the Grand Line be continuously deployed to the West Blue.

"yes!"

Miles gave a solemn military salute, then quickly ran towards the battlefield.

The messengers also received the order and quickly notified the lieutenant generals and major generals.

The generals, who had initially been somewhat excited, were forced to sober up by Sakazuki's orders.

He cursed inwardly:

It's just a small island, what right does it have to be proud?

They hastily gathered their naval soldiers, boarded the warship, and, under the cover of night, advanced toward their predetermined target.

After leaving behind a group of naval soldiers to guard the prisoners, Sakazuki boarded the flagship and headed to the Kingdom of Nitasulo, which he had long wanted to conquer.

At this moment, the commander of the Kingdom of Nitasulo was also somewhat anxious.

Like Long, he never believed that the navy was just making things up.

Feeling extremely anxious, he came out of his bedroom and looked at the scenery outside.

The sky was very gloomy tonight, and the moon was covered by thick dark clouds.

He felt restless and uneasy, as if he had forgotten something.

Unable to sleep, he returned to his study and looked at his defense plans.

The map clearly marked the strongholds of the revolutionary soldiers in this area. Looking at one point on the defense map, he suddenly fixed his gaze on that point.

This was a very small foothold, so small that he didn't even pay attention to it when he was setting it up.

However, if we consider the combined calm weather conditions, this is a very advantageous point of attack.

Once this place is captured, forces can be divided to attack other strongholds, and finally a forward naval position and supply station can be established in the West Sea.

"I need to contact Rudolf Swinburne immediately."

Woolf-Yehuti immediately summoned his adjutant to prepare to contact Rudolf Swinburne.

Ten minutes later, the adjutant replied with an incredulous look on his face;

"Commander, we cannot contact Rudolf Swinburne, nor can we communicate with their base."

Upon hearing this, Woolfehuddi's fear was amplified once again.

"Quickly, contact all the base leaders, especially those near the port of Sinzo, and demand that they intercept the navy at all costs."

Wolfe Yehudi almost roared in a fit of rage.

But it was too late.

He suddenly felt something above his head that could threaten his life. He darted upwards, broke through the roof, and came out into the outside world.

A huge, fiery red meteorite fell from the dark clouds in the sky.

As they drew closer, Wolfehudi finally realized that it was not a meteorite, but a ball of molten lava.

"Sakazuki!"

Wolfe shouted loudly.

When Woolfehuddi spotted Sakassky, the revolutionary soldiers on guard also noticed the threat overhead.

They quickly sounded the alarm.

An emergency assembly immediately commenced at the entire base.

Sakazuki stood expressionlessly above the lava, silently watching the ants below him. Wulfeyekhudi was no match for Sakazuki; at best, he was only at the level of Doberman and Fire Mountain.

Therefore, he doesn't intend to take credit this time either.

Instead, they gave the opportunity to Miles.

"Don't even think about letting you get away with this!"

When Woolf-Yehoodi saw the blazing fireball, he did not try to run away, but instead faced the challenge head-on.

If he dodges, then the ordinary revolutionary soldiers who are currently gathering will suffer.

"Dragon Claw Fist!"

Wolfehudi used his most skillful move, pressing it onto the surface of the magma ball.

The intense heat instantly scalded Woolf-Yehuldi's hands black, causing wisps of white smoke to rise from them.

But he still refused to back down, yelling, "Open up!"

Despite the pain in his hands, Woolf Yehudi roared with all his might.

Sakassky's military boots lightly stomped on the lava ball, and an immense force was transmitted through the lava to Woolfeyekuldi.

click!

Woolf-Yeh-di's arms were fractured directly by the hidden force.

The magma ball, carrying Wulfeyehudi's body, crashed directly into the ground.

Rumble!

The office that Woolfeyekuldi had just left has now been razed to the ground, and Woolfeyekuldi is lying in the crater, his fate unknown.

Sakazuki stood atop another tall building, coldly staring at the revolutionary soldiers below:

"Your commander has been killed by me. Now you have two choices: either take up arms and fight us, the price of which is being killed; or lay down your arms and become prisoners of our navy."

Among the revolutionary soldiers, there were still a few die-hard fans.

Before the revolutionary uprising, they were nothing more than the lowest slaves in the eyes of the nobles, whose only reason for living was to work hard to support those nobles.

But his life changed drastically after the revolutionary army came.

The nobles who used to bully him are dead, and he even killed his master with his own hands.

Therefore, he will fight to the death with anyone who tries to force the revolutionary army to leave this place!

puff!

Like a bullet piercing a watermelon.

The revolutionary soldiers who had just been charging forward so bravely did not encounter a kind-hearted general.

Sakazuki didn't care who he was or what his strength was; it was all a matter of a finger-gun. "Long live the Navy!"

Justice will prevail!!!

The naval soldiers burst through the gates of the revolutionary army's base in this area and swarmed in, their swords still wet with blood, hacking at the revolutionary soldiers who were still armed.

Sakazuki then strolled back to his military aircraft.

The first objective is to capture the islands of Sihai and establish a stable logistical supply station.

Another reason was that he needed to use this battle to train his troops. After Raleigh finished speaking, many young people around the world chose to become naval officers rather than members of other races.

Sakazuki wanted his men to be highly capable when implementing important strategic plans; only then could they possibly eliminate the pirates completely.
