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

After finalizing the hunting team members, Tsuru and Zephyr began studying the map to determine the key attack locations.

Thin lines converge on the map.

The navy's current encirclement has been cut into pieces by these thin lines.

Finally, as Zephyr's pen fell to the ground, the meeting officially determined the hunting team's rendezvous point and the direction of their next attack.

The front line of battle between the navy and pirates.

Everywhere was filled with the smell of gunpowder and burning, and gunshots rang out from time to time, it was unclear whether they were fired by pirates or the navy.

Enel sat in the makeshift office on the battlefield, full of energy, and made a heavy stroke on the map in front of him.

"Vice Admiral Enel, all the pirates on the island have been eliminated."

Enel's second-in-command lifted the curtain and came in.

He shook off the dust and let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Enel pushed his cup of hot tea over to them.

"Take a break, Nader."

"We've made a lot of progress, now we need to stop and wait for the other teams."

Nader took the hot tea Enel offered and said with a proud expression:

"Absolutely, because we are the strongest spear."

"Unfortunately, if we had Lieutenant General Barrett on our flank, we could be right here in front of Shanks."

He genuinely felt it was a pity.

After all, the fleet's commander, Enel, was extremely powerful. If it weren't for the other marines being unable to keep up,

With his strength, he could easily slaughter pirates.

After the incident where Barrett was almost surrounded and killed by the Red-Haired Pirates, Enel and the others have become more cautious.

Try to conserve your energy when you can't detect any members of the Red-Haired Pirates.

"Vice Admiral Enel, we could actually fly over from the sky and drop some bombs on the Red-Haired Pirates, taking them down from the air."

Nathan knew that Enel could control the Ark, and he had mentioned this idea to Enel more than once.

Enel scratched his head and said:

"I've wanted to do this for a long time, but Brother Raleigh has always disagreed."

"He said that we would rather make progress more slowly than give the other side a chance to turn the tide."

Actually, there was one more thing Raleigh didn't say: if Enel were really captured by the Red-Haired Pirates, that would be the time for the Navy to collectively attack and wipe out the Red-Haired Pirates in one fell swoop.

He will not accept the Red-Haired Pirates exchanging anyone for the Navy.

All he could do was completely annihilate the Red-Haired Pirates to make them the victims of his capture.

Just as Enel and Nathan were preparing their next move, the messenger outside the door suddenly spoke:

"Lieutenant General Enel, the latest orders have come from the front-line command."

Enel was somewhat surprised.

He's been here for a long time, steadily advancing according to the plan previously set by headquarters. Is there going to be a new change now?

Nathan was also somewhat surprised, and said excitedly:

"Vice Admiral Enel, has the frontline command approved our plan to bombard the Red-Haired Pirates' stronghold?"

Enel smiled upon hearing this, but quickly suppressed it and said:

"Let's hear what the frontline command has to say first."

The messenger produced a coded message from the frontline command and said:

"Order: Vice Admiral Enel temporarily transfers fleet command to Rear Admiral Nathan, who will be in charge of the subsequent offensive mission."

"Vice Admiral Enel will form a hunting team with several other vice admirals to carry out decapitation missions against the more powerful pirates."

The messenger finished speaking.

Enel and Nathan stared at each other, wide-eyed.

They never expected it to turn out this way.

I originally thought that headquarters thought the progress was too slow and chose the plan I submitted, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this.

"What's happening on the battlefields elsewhere?"

Enel keenly sensed that something was amiss.

Unless there are special circumstances on other battlefields, the frontline command would not have made such a decision.

After organizing his thoughts, the messenger began to speak:

"During last night's offensive against the pirates, Vice Admiral Onigumo from the Whole Cake Island direction was killed, and a Marine Vice Admiral attacking from the Wano Country direction also suffered losses."

"The loss of seventeen officers, including lieutenant generals and major generals, was too much for headquarters to bear."

"After discussion, Lieutenant General Tsuru of the front-line command, Chief Instructor Zefu, Sengoku Ōme-tsuke, and others concluded that..."

Many powerful pirates, still holding the rank of Vice Admiral or higher, remain, posing a threat to the Navy's regular fleet.

"Therefore, they believe that sending elite teams to hunt down these targets would help reduce naval casualties."

After the explanation, Enel and Nathan were both speechless.

Due to Enel's overwhelming strength, none of the pirates they encountered had the power to resist, and their advance was swift and devastating.

However, not every naval commander is as powerful as Enel.

Many ordinary vice admirals are simply no match for the powerful pirates who have been fighting each other for years.

Who else is in the team?

Enel asked curiously.

He believed that with his own strength, he should definitely be the team leader.

"Besides Lieutenant General Enel, the members of the hunting team include Lieutenant General Barrett, Lieutenant General Kakei, Lieutenant General Doberman, Lieutenant General Jonathan, and Colonel Rosinante."

"Also, the frontline command has sent a route map; please take a look."

Enel was stunned when he heard about the hunting team's impressive lineup.

He had assumed the hunting squad was composed of elites, but he never imagined they could reach this level.

It can be said that, apart from Rosinante, all of them are elite lieutenant generals.

Enel and Barrett are actually at the Admiral level, but this has not been publicly announced.

However, Kake is widely recognized as a strong contender for the top general position.

This lineup is more than enough to hunt down powerful pirates, let alone storm into the Red-Haired Pirates' lair and fight them.

"Are you sure the frontline command isn't telling us to just storm into the Red-Haired Pirates' hideout and have a fight?"

The messenger, seeing Enel's questioning gaze, couldn't help but want to laugh.

When he received the message from the frontline command, he had considered this possibility.

So, this squad wasn't really formed to behead Shanks?

However, he didn't have time to think about it in detail before sending the information to Enel.

"Um, Vice Admiral Enel, I'm only responsible for delivering intelligence. As for other matters, I'm afraid I can't offer you any advice." The messenger then slipped away immediately.

Enel rubbed his forehead and looked at Nathan beside him, saying:

"Alright, it's those same old men assigning me work again."

"However, I did not expect that so many naval personnel from other directions would be killed in action."

Enel was shocked by the intensity of the battle in other directions after glancing at the intelligence.

His own fleet had never fought like this before, probably because the opponents he faced were not as strong as him.

Mary Geoise, the holy land of the Celestial Dragons.

Inside the pristine white palace, the Five Elders sat together, listening to a report from members of the CP organization on the latest developments in the world.

However, his expression grew increasingly grim after hearing about the Navy's New World's actions.

The Five Elders of the Demon Blade said in a low voice:

"Damn it..."

"The Navy's offensive in the New World is getting increasingly fierce; the pirates probably won't be able to hold out for much longer..."

Currently, both the World Government and the Five Elders are in a difficult position.

They wanted to challenge the Navy by supporting pirates, but in a short time, they became a huge joke.

Shanks, who was regarded as a pawn by the Five Elders, quickly became a lone wolf and the only pirate emperor in the New World.

If Shanks hadn't run so fast, he would have been surrounded by the Navy and wouldn't have been able to get out.

However, dealing with the navy is not an easy task now.

CP members are being assassinated inexplicably in large numbers outside the organization. Although most of these assassinations are carried out by people disguised as the Revolutionary Army, the Five Elders can tell the difference at a glance.

Only the Navy can remove the CP organization's thorns in its side.

"If all else fails, we'll ask Lord Im to take action and use the Heavenly King to flatten New Marineford."

The five elders with long beards said with a frown.

This is acceptable.

It's nothing more than another massive purge.

Since a blank century can occur, it means that a second blank century can also occur.

The five elders with curly hair gripped their canes and spoke coldly:

"We can't delay any longer. After dealing with the pirates, the Navy's next target should be us."

"The secrets buried in the Red Earth must not be known to the world; we must strike first."

"It's fine that the Revolutionary Army hasn't shown up. Anyway, apart from Dragon, the others are not a threat."

"Our real adversary is the navy led by Raleigh."

"Call Kong over here. It's time to choose your position."

"Also, call Shanks over. If anything seems amiss, kill him right here. It's better to destroy someone who can't be controlled than leave them to the Navy."

"This world should be ruled by a true king, not by this current parliament of member states composed of pigs and wolves."

The Grand Line, beneath the Red Line.

The revolutionary army, long overlooked by the world, is now marching in dense formations across the sea.

They no longer need to carefully hide their whereabouts.

Surprisingly, despite being easily discovered, they have yet to reveal themselves.

Although Long couldn't understand it, he guessed that Raleigh must be behind it all.

He stood alone at the very top of the main ship, expressionless, looking down at the seemingly insurmountable Red Earth Continent.

Against the backdrop of the red earth continent, these revolutionary soldiers seemed as insignificant as swarms of ants in an anthill.

However, when enough ants gather, they can accomplish the great feat of killing an elephant!

Revolutionary Army Chief of Staff Sabo leaped from the deck to the dragon's side and said:

"Boss, according to the intelligence we have obtained, the Navy is almost finished encircling and eliminating the pirates."

"The pirates in the New World are now surrounded by the Navy. I'm afraid those pirates won't last more than half a month before they are all wiped out by the Navy."

Long nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:

"The navy moved much faster than I expected. Fortunately, our movements weren't that slow either."

His eyes swept over the other people on the ship.

Every revolutionary soldier who communicated with the Dragon Eye God was filled with boundless fighting spirit and an indomitable will.

They do not believe in the so-called innate wealth, nor do they believe that the bloodline of God exists in this world.

They wanted to use their own hands to break the Celestial Dragons' control over the world.

The dragon's eyes became somewhat unfocused, then it spoke:

"Order: Everyone, get into the cabin. The person in charge and other officers, grab onto whatever you can to secure yourselves."

"Today, the slaying of gods begins!"

"All personnel, prepare!!!"

After Long gave the order, the revolutionary soldiers shouted excitedly, and then they quickly followed the instructions of their officers to their assigned positions.

Ten minutes later, the dragon disappeared from everyone's sight.

Call ~

call!

call! ! !

The once calm sea was suddenly swept by an unimaginable hurricane.

Furthermore, this hurricane was constantly accelerating around all the revolutionary army's ships.

From a distance, a super tornado with a diameter of five nautical miles can be seen slowly forming.

One by one, ships were lifted from the water into the sky by the terrifying lift of the tornado.

One, two, ten...:

These ships, which had already been modified and reinforced, were propelled into the sky from the sea by the tornado!

Sabo gripped the flagpole beside him tightly, his eyes filled with boundless adoration for the dragon.

Only a dragon with such immense power is qualified to be the leader of the revolutionary army.

When everyone stopped paying attention to the revolutionary army, the revolutionary army had already achieved its strategic objectives.

Using new types of ships capable of traversing the Calm Belt, they arrived at the Red Line beneath Mary Geoise, and then, unexpectedly, used the power of dragons.

It sucked all the ships from the sea into the sky.

Even with his extensive knowledge of dragons, Raleigh could never have imagined such a way of appearing.

It was precisely because of the dragon's unpredictable behavior that the Five Elders had no idea what to do.

At this moment, they are still studying how to target the navy.

They never imagined that the revolutionary army, whom they regarded as ants, had quietly approached Mary Geoise.

On the side wall of the red earth continent.

If someone were to look down from above at this moment, they would see a scene that no one in the world has ever seen before.

Dozens of enormous ships were hurtling toward the sky from below the red earth at an incredible speed.

Fortunately, no one noticed this.

As the Five Elders were still waiting for Kong's arrival in the palace, they heard a loud rumble and the entire Mary Geoise shook. Suddenly, they felt an indescribable tremor in their hearts.
