Chapter 357 The Marineford War Begins

A navy officer asked a really silly question.

"What was that loud noise just now?!"

Ning Yuan didn't want to hear it, but the person's voice was too loud.

He turned to Gion, who had just arrived, and asked, "Don't any of you inform the Marines below about Whitebeard's abilities? Don't tell me there are still people who don't know about the Tremor-Tremor Fruit?"

"Uh!" Gion was taken aback, then shrugged. "There's nothing we can do about it. That's Whitebeard, after all. If we revealed his strength, some people would probably lose their will to fight!"

"I don't really agree with this kind of warfare strategy!" Ning Yuan shook his head. "I believe more in knowing yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle!"

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle?" Gion pondered, thinking that this statement seemed to make a lot of sense.

She wasn't lurking in the red-light district for enjoyment, but to gather intelligence. Many pirates, whether for relaxation or boasting, would unconsciously reveal a lot of information when they came to such places. This information, once in Gion's hands, became a powerful tool for dealing with pirates.

So even though she had never heard of this saying, she had always done it.

"War is about logistics, money, and even more so, intelligence. If you can know someone's information in advance, then even if the opponent is a Shichibukai, an ordinary person can kill him!" Ning Yuan laughed, "I am the best example!"

"I don't deny the importance of intelligence, but your example is not representative!" Gion shook her head and said, "Crocodile spent most of his time in the first half of the Grand Line, encountering generally weak pirates who didn't possess much Armament Haki, thus developing an arrogant and conceited personality. Moria spent most of his time in the Devil's Triangle, knowing even less about the outside world, and unaware of the cause of Crocodile's death. Their deaths were simply a matter of luck and chance!"

"You're actually an intelligent navy?" Ning Yuan was somewhat surprised as he listened to Gion's analysis.

Gion was speechless. What did she mean? Did she think I was an idiot in her eyes before?

However, her rebuttal lacked real confidence, because what she said was not her own idea, but rather He's analysis.

The two people were chatting, and people below were also chatting.

Ace: "Dad, everyone, it was clearly me who ignored everyone's warnings and ran away on my own!"

"It's my own fault for acting without authorization that I've ended up like this, why can't I just fend for myself!"

Whitebeard: "I told you to go, son!"

Ace: "Liar! You clearly stopped me!"

Whitebeard: "I told you to go, didn't I, Marco!"

"Yes, we all heard it, and everyone in the entire pirate crew knows about it!" Marco chimed in from the side.

"What a touching display of fatherly love!" Gion exclaimed.

Ning Yuan remained silent.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Gion asked.

"What did you say?" Ning Yuan retorted.

"Looking at this scene, don't you feel any emotion? A son blaming himself, a father desperately trying to excuse his son!" Gion said in a heavy tone.

Ning Tian turned his head to look at Gion and found that her eyes were still red.

Seriously, lady? You were actually moved?

"If you can't stand watching this, you can go down and unlock Ace's shackles!" Ning Yuan laughed. "Wouldn't it be wonderful to reunite father and son?"

Gion rolled her eyes: "I clearly distinguish between feelings and duties!"

"Boom!" In the midst of the conversation, a deafening sound suddenly came from afar.

Ning Yuan turned his head and saw that the seawater on both sides of Marineford had risen up like mountains and was spreading towards Marineford.

This is the effect of the two blows the white-bearded man struck in the air: the tsunami triggered by the earthquake.

"What is this?!"

"It's a tsunami!"

"What devastating power!" Doflamingo exclaimed.

Unaware of Whitebeard's whereabouts, the 100,000 marines were completely dumbfounded upon witnessing this scene. However, Aokiji quickly stepped forward, raising his hand and unleashing the Ice Age technique to freeze the waves.

At the same time, he threw two ice spears at Whitebeard.

The white-bearded man curled his lip: "You little rascal!"

With a raised fist, the ice spear and the blue pheasant were shattered.

Aokiji fell into the sea, but as a user of the Ice-Ice Fruit, he was naturally not going to drown. Instead, the seawater in the bay froze.

"The ship is frozen!" a pirate shouted.

"Now we have a place to stay!" Another pirate immediately jumped off the ship and rushed towards the bay wall.

The navy in the bay quickly set up their gun emplacements: "Fire! Fire! Fire on the Moby Dick!"

"Aokiji's behavior is a bit like a traitor!" Ning Yuan said. "If the water in this bay hadn't been frozen, I don't know how Whitebeard would have been able to fight!"

Gion was speechless: "If he doesn't freeze the seawater, he'll drown!"

"He's been eating the Ice-Ice Fruit for 20 years, he's not some newbie who just got a Devil Fruit, he can't control it!" Ning Yuan said, "Why don't he just freeze the seawater around him?"

Gion wanted to refute, but seeing the pirates below using ice blocks to charge at the bay walls, she couldn't find a way to argue back.

It seems that Admiral Aokiji actually made things worse?

Ning Yuan also thought of something else: later, Aokiji failed to win the position of Fleet Admiral against Akainu and then joined the Blackbeard Pirates.

Blackbeard ate the Tremor-Tremor Fruit again. If Blackbeard goes to the new Marine Headquarters and causes an earthquake that triggers a tsunami, who will control the seawater without the Ice-Ice Fruit?

"Hey, are you going to make a move?" After Aokiji finished his attack, it was Kizaru's turn.

"To catch the thief, first catch the king!" Kizaru transformed into light and arrived above Whitebeard, his hands gathering dazzling golden light.

"I can't let you bother Dad!" Marco, surrounded by blue-green flames, kicked the golden light away.

Kizaru didn't want to fight Whitebeard in the first place, but when he saw someone trying to stop him, he simply moved to another spot and started to coast along.

Since there's no overtime pay today, there's no need to work so hard.

On the other side, Hawkeye, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, flicked his thumb and drew his sword from its sheath.

Ming asked curiously, "You're not the type to show off, are you?"

"I just want to see what the world's strongest man is all about!" Hawkeye said, drawing his black sword. A dazzling blade of energy shot out and headed straight for Whitebeard.

The white-bearded man didn't even move, but a burly man stood in front of him, his body turning into diamonds to withstand the blade's energy.

Not only did he withstand it, he also pushed the sword energy into the sky!

"This ability is pretty good, I could cosplay the White Queen!" Ning Yuan commented. "It's just a shame to give it to a man. If a beautiful woman ate this fruit, how gorgeous she would be, her whole body sparkling!"

Gion was speechless. This guy was, after all, the division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and this was how you evaluated him?

After overturning the sword energy, Diamond George didn't stop. He first punched the ice surface, then bent down and grabbed a large chunk of ice.

Fortunately, the ice was extremely cold, resulting in great friction; if the temperature had been even slightly higher, George wouldn't have been able to grab it.

"go!"

A massive ice ball, as large as a small mountain, was thrown onto the plaza, startling the group of marines who turned pale, trembling, and almost ran away.

No, someone has already left!

Ning Yuan whispered, "Gion, look, there are deserters!"

Gion turned her head and saw that there really were two marines, one with pink hair and the other with blond hair. They had somehow ended up in a corner and were trembling.

"How does your navy punish deserters?" Ning Yuan asked.

Gion looked troubled.

The navy certainly cannot tolerate deserters, but it depends on the individual.

She recognized them; both marines were Vice Admiral Garp's protégés.

Those rules and regulations for managing deserters won't work on them!

"Looks like everything's alright?" Seeing Gion's reaction, Ning Yuan immediately chuckled. "I've already posted about those two on the Navy's intranet. From now on, all marines will know. Desertion is no problem, and no one will hold them accountable!"

"How could you do this!" Gion was immediately angry, but she quickly realized something was wrong: "How could you access our Navy's internal network?"

"What are you saying? I'm the master of this smart network. What network can't I access?" Ning Yuan shrugged and continued watching the movie.

Akainu shattered the ice with his lava fist and then entered the fray.

Generally speaking, the big shots are the last to appear. For example, in the war between the Revolutionary Army and the World Government, so far, not a single vice admiral from the World Government has entered the fray, nor has a single vice admiral from the Revolutionary Army.

That's right, the revolutionary army also has lieutenant generals, and their military reforms have been completed.

The current revolutionary army, officially called the People's Revolutionary Army, or simply the Revolutionary Army, has one army group, which comprises the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Armies. These four armies were reorganized from the original armies of the four seas (east, west, south, north, and north). Each of the four armies has 12 men, for a total strength of 48.

The rank of the commanders of these four armies is lieutenant general.

The revolutionary army follows the principle of organization commanding the gun, so the military leadership includes not only army commanders, but also military commissars, and the military political commissar is also a lieutenant general.

Therefore, the current revolutionary army has a total of eight lieutenant generals and two generals.

The general was Dorag, the commander-in-chief of the First Army Group of the Revolutionary Army.

Sabo, Chief of Staff of the First Army Group of the Revolutionary Army.

Far away.

Anyway, the war at Marineford is quite different from that one. They've been fighting for two months and the vice admirals haven't even joined the battle yet, but here, less than ten minutes into the fighting, all three admirals have already made their moves.

only.

Ning Yuan glanced at the location of the Queen Elizabeth and was speechless.

"Marco, you bought the Queen Elizabeth, why aren't you using it?" Ning Yuan asked.

"Huh?" Marco was in the middle of a battle with Kizaru when he suddenly heard someone talking beside him.

"Who goes there?" He quickly pushed away the fighting circle and asked warily.

"Are you stupid? Who else could have sold you the Queen Elizabeth? And don't make a sound, just think about it in your head, I can hear you!"

Marco was stunned. They had indeed bought a ship for 15 billion Berries, which really emptied the Whitebeard Pirates' coffers.

Then he became furious: "You're the mysterious seller? I was just looking for you! What's wrong with this boat? It doesn't even have sails, how are you going to sail it?"

Ning Yuan was speechless: "No, brother, this boat doesn't need sails, it runs on coal. We gave you the instruction manual when we sold it to you, didn't you read it?"

Marco blushed and said, "What am I looking at?!"

He fell in love with the Queen Elizabeth the moment he saw it, and then the Baroque Works crew fired a few shots from the cannon, and Marco paid for it without hesitation.

Because it was the Baroque Works that helped drive the ship there, Marco didn't notice anything different about the power system at the time. It wasn't until the Baroque Works people left that Marco realized the ship couldn't be driven!

But it was too late to argue with the buyers then; they were about to leave.

There was nothing Marco could do but swallow this bitter pill, thinking he would settle accounts with the seller after the war was over.

Even today, Ning Yuan watched as the gun emplacements below roared into action, but after looking around, he couldn't find the Queen Elizabeth.

Then they discovered that the Queen Elizabeth was stranded in Whitebeard's territory!

"Alright, it's indeed a bit difficult for you pirates to operate the most advanced battleship in the world!" Ning Yuan said, "How about this, I'll operate it for you and fight for you, how about that?"

"Okay, okay, no problem!" Marco nodded quickly, then asked, "But the Queen Elizabeth is still in the New World. It'll take two days just to get here, right? Is that enough time?"

"There's still time!" Ning Yuan said, "But I'm not helping for free; you'll have to pay me!"

"Why should we!" Marco immediately protested. "This ship is already ours!"

"Who told you you can't drive!" Ning Yuan laughed. "Even if you went to the docks and asked someone to carry your luggage, you'd have to pay them. We're helping you fight this war, how can we not pay us?"

"This..." Marco thought about it and it seemed to make sense.

How much do you want?

"No more, no less, 3 million Berries!" Ning Yuan said calmly.

To be honest, this amount of money is a bit small, but there's nothing we can do about it; the Whitebeard Pirates are poor and can't afford to spend more.

Even this displeased Marco: "We're out of money!"

They bought a large amount of supplies, weapons, and a warship to fight the war; the money had long been spent.

"I don't need you to give it to me now. Giving it to me after the war is over is just as good!" Ning Yuan laughed. "It'll just mean you'll have to charge interest then!"

Marco fell silent.

"You need to think about it quickly, your pirate crew's situation isn't very optimistic right now!" Ning Yuan said.

Marco looked up and saw that Oz had been knocked down by the bear, and everyone was being bombarded by the cannons placed in the bay.

I don't know what the situation is outside, but the situation inside is definitely not good!

"Okay, I promise you!" Marco nodded immediately.

If they can win, 3 million peso isn't a huge number.

If we lose, there's even less reason to pay back the 3 million Berries.

You can't lose out no matter what!

"Good, that's good!!" Ning Yuan laughed, "The ship is coming!"
