Chapter 199: The Battle of Punk Hazard
On the Red Hair Pirates' Redforth.
Beckman smiled and took a sip of the wine on the table.
As the vice-captain of the Red Hair Pirates, Beckman, who is a smart man, certainly knows that the title of the Four Emperors is a bait, and the first issue of the New Era Newspaper also made it clear.
It was also in the second issue of the New Era Newspaper that the cloaked man killed six Celestial Dragons, and also gave photos.
The contents of the two issues of the New Era Newspaper are connected. Although the second issue did not mention any statement that killing Celestial Dragons would increase fame, it is obvious that newcomers who don't know the height of the world can make up their own minds.
Beckman also looked at the sea level: "Our power is not enough to change anything. And the New Era Newspaper is very likely something made by the Revolutionary Army. That gentleman... is really bold."
Shanks restrained his smile and looked at the sea like Beckman, but he looked in the direction of Mary Geoise.
"No one dared to attack them before, because even pirates would not be stupid enough to do something without benefits. But now the World Government has thrown out the Four Emperors as bait, so naturally there will be benefits."
"In addition, that gentleman killed six people, the earliest of whom can be traced back to a few years ago, but he is still safe and sound."
Speaking of this, Shanks looked at Beckman: "Do you think those newcomers have self-knowledge? No, they will only think that if that gentleman can do it, they can do it too."
Beckman frowned: "We are different from these idiots. So what we should do next depends on you, the captain."
A gust of sea breeze blew, and Shanks pressed down the straw hat on his head, thinking back to the conversation with Captain Roger many years ago.
"How is the investigation going?"
Beckman replied: "Things that can only be known by the two of us, and what we know now is only what has been said."
Shanks smiled: "When the New Era newspaper directed the pirates' spearhead to themselves, our original plan could be discarded. This is a different time. At that time, for the peace of the sea, we need to determine the so-called Four Emperors as soon as possible."
"It's not necessary now."
Beckman also smiled.
Those new pirates who were like locusts, because of the title of Pirate Emperor, slaughtered towns wantonly to increase the bounty.
Afterwards, because of the report in the first issue of the New Era newspaper, these garbage finally stopped.
In the Great Pirate Era, the balance and stability of the sea requires reducing the number of pirates at this time.
"Let's go to the East China Sea!"
Shanks' voice sounded: "Avoid this chaos, and when the number of pirates begins to stabilize, we will come back to end the fight for the position of Pirate Emperor."
Beckman smiled, turned around and waved to Jesus Bu on the other side: "The captain said we are going to the East China Sea, Jesus Bu!"
Hearing this, Jesus Bu, who was bragging, was stunned, and suddenly found that the wine in his hand was not fragrant.
What should I do? Should I go back to see my son?
Did Usopp forget me?
"Hahaha! What happened to Jesus Bu?"
"Is there any terrible enemy in the East China Sea? How can it make our sniper rifles like this? Hahaha!"
There was a burst of laughter for a while.
Shanks leaned against the fence and looked at his companions with a smile on his face, but he was thinking about the East China Sea plan in his mind.
The inheritance of the will of this world will not be cut off. It has been several years since the captain surrendered. Is it Mr. Garp's hometown?
I really want to see that kid...
...
At the same time, the things reported in the second issue of the New Era Newspaper also began to ferment throughout the ocean, and the reaction of the pirates was just as those smart people expected, and they became interested in the Celestial Dragons.
"Boss, the world nobles! The cloaked man actually killed six Celestial Dragons, and the World Government can't do anything about him!"
"So what does this have to do with me? Hurry up and see which guys you can deal with. Only by making a name for yourself can you get the title of the Four Emperors, bastard!"
"Boss!"
"The bounty for the cloaked man has reached 4.8 billion Baileys!"
"Has this guy who doesn't show his face increased again?"
"Boss, you don't know that although the Celestial Dragons are noble, they are all some low-energy and mentally retarded idiots. No one has touched them because killing them will attract the admirals of the navy."
"Admiral? We are pirates. Even if we don't deal with those Celestial Dragons, will the Admiral let us go?"
This new captain who just arrived in the New World from Fishman Island was full of confidence at this moment: "The bounty for six Celestial Dragons has increased to 4.8 billion Baileys. If we can reach this level, wouldn't the title of Emperor be secure?"
The younger brother beside him immediately replied: "Boss, you are wise. This is what I want to say. Those idiots used to be afraid of the admiral, but now it seems that the so-called admiral is just like that. The cloaked man killed six in a row and nothing happened. Boss, you are not weaker than him!"
"Hahaha..."
With a loud laugh, the new pirate waved his hand and said, "We need information about the Celestial Dragons now. Let's start the Dragon Hunting Operation!"
There are countless conversations like this on the sea.
Of the guys who will become pirates, nearly 60% to 70% are uneducated and have a terrible intelligence situation. They don't even know if there is a current admiral in the Navy Headquarters.
But it is precisely because of this that they only met one or two officers from the Navy Branch in the four seas and the first half of the Grand Line. At this time, they also felt that the sea might be nothing more than that.
For a time, most of the new pirates who originally targeted the three Four Emperors set their sights on the so-called Celestial Dragons.
In the underground world, the information about the Celestial Dragons was sold at a terrifying sky-high price.
Faced with this price, countless pirates killed and robbed, but in the end they found that the information was all false.
...
At the World Economic News Agency, Morgans angrily tore the newspaper in his hand to pieces.
New Era?
The appearance of this newspaper has seriously affected the sales of his own newspaper.
In order to increase sales, he had to keep paying a lot of money so that the hardworking reporters could get bigger news.
"Bulu Bulu..."
The Den Den Mushi rang, and a voice appeared after it was connected.
"Hello, Morgans."
Morgans was stunned, and immediately turned his head to look at the door behind him.
Soon, five men in suits appeared at the door.
"Click."
The Den Den Mushi hung up, and Morgans looked at the five guys in front of him, while his busy subordinates stopped working and looked over.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and typeset!"
The boss spoke, and everyone sat back down.
Morgans then said: "World Government people? Do you have anything to do?"
A woman stepped forward and handed over a document: "Tomorrow's newspaper, the World Government hopes to put this in."
Morgans frowned when he heard it.
He really loves news, but some of the scraps of news before this are not worth him turning against the World Government.
It is precisely because of this that the cooperation with the World Government has been good all the time.
Morgans in the albatross form took the document, opened it, looked at it, and sneered: "Do you think such a response will be useful?"
The leading CP replied: "You don't need to worry about whether it is useful or not. We will not reduce your typesetting fee. At the same time, this is also an order from the top."
After receiving Morgans' reply, the five people turned around and left after leaving a black box.
Throwing the box aside, Morgans frowned and handed the document to his subordinates.
Are all the people in the World Government stupid?
Imitating the model of the first issue of the New Era Newspaper analyzing the Four Emperors as bait, and then hoping to achieve the same effect?
Although the New Era Newspaper analyzed in detail, at least it analyzed the pirates as humans. And this document simply treats those pirates as pigs.
You said the bounty will not increase? Will the reputation not increase?
Slaughtering towns and killing unarmed people is not a demonstration of military power, but the Celestial Dragons, the world nobles, these slugs who have always been high and mighty, have the admirals and the world government standing behind them.
Killing these guys, from another perspective, means that they are not afraid of the navy and dare to confront the world government.
But what does this have to do with me?
Morgans scratched the feathers on his head in anger.
The most important thing now is to increase the sales of the World Economic News! After that bastard newspaper appeared, if it were not for the bounty order, the sales of the World Economic News would be terrible.
We have to think of a way!
…
At the same time, Kevin from the G5 branch split a shadow clone, and the main body disappeared directly.
The shadow clone called Tina and asked her to prepare the warship and return to the headquarters.
As for the main body, it appeared in the dense jungle of Punk Hazard.
In my memory, after the island was destroyed by Sakaski and Kuzan in the future, it became an ice and fire island with half of it erupting and the other half in a permafrost state.
Although Kuzan lost in the end and had one leg broken by Sakaski, the gap between the two in the future should not be too big, after all, they fought for a week.
Kevin changed his appearance and took out an anti-eavesdropping Den Den Mushi and dialed.
At present, Vegapunk's instant messaging device cannot cover the whole world, especially in the New World, where the magnetic field is extremely chaotic.
Things like radios must also be developed after the mother fire is developed. When the energy problem is solved, most of the problems will be solved.
"Click."
"Are you here?"
"Yeah."
"Remember the location."
After a simple conversation, an approximate coordinate was reported.
The Den Den Mushi hung up, Kevin did not ask about the monitoring device of this island, and Borsalino did not say anything either.
Today, Sengoku not only informed Kevin, but also Borsalino and Kuzan.
The positions of the three admirals of the navy have been basically determined, and the importance of Borsalino's identity in the navy is self-evident.
In this way, this action against the giant mechanical soldiers of Punk Hazard cannot leave him any possibility of suspicion.
Even a serious fight is possible, as long as no life is lost, there will be no problem.
Thinking of this, Kevin identified the direction for a while, and then went straight to the coordinate point given by Borsalino.
Half an hour later...
In the jungle, a laser suddenly shot towards Kevin.
The timing was very clever, just when Kevin's attention was attracted by the movement in another direction.
"Boom!"
The laser pierced the ground, and Kevin also appeared behind a big man in the jungle.
Draw the sword.
"Clang."
A cold light flashed past, but the opponent did not dodge or avoid it, and there was no panic in his eyes. He raised his hand and tried to hold the blade with both hands.
However, he obviously overestimated his strength. This knife cut off his fingers and beheaded him.
"Zizi..."
A burst of electric sound sounded, and the sharp spear stabbed out from behind and directly hit Kevin's abdomen.
"Bang."
A crisp sound sounded, but the spear could not move forward.
"Vinsmoke Gage's cyborg?"
Kevin looked at the sturdy man in front of him and waved his hand to split the spear in two.
The opponent was just like the guy who fired the laser just now. There was no other emotion in his eyes except determination.
He abandoned the spear when it was cut off, and rushed in with his whole body shaking, and opened his arms to lock Kevin tightly.
"Pop."
Press his forehead with one hand and smash it down.
"Bang!"
A pit appeared on the ground, and blood was dripping from the cracked head.
Releasing his hand, Kevin continued to move towards the target.
Along the way, the flashing lasers almost never stopped, and the suicidal lightning spears almost never stopped.
Kevin didn't take it seriously until the pink mist filled the air and all the trees and plants withered and rotted wherever they passed.
Asahi swung out a slash, and the surging red thunder rushed to the surroundings, and the three big men in pink clothes in the observation Haki were directly cut in half.
It was also at this time that the air began to flow.
"Bang."
"Puff!"
Blocking and slashing with the sword.
Blood splattered, and an invisible figure was also exposed.
Immediately afterwards, the attack sense appeared all around under the observation Haki.
Invisible black, pink poison, laser and electric shock weapons.
It seems that Vinsmoke Judge brought all the technology of the Germa period here, and the laser should be an ability obtained from Borsalino based on the bloodline factor of the MADS period.
The Shining Fruit is indeed very fragrant. Not only Vegapunk is thinking about it, but even Punk Hazard has also thought of it.
Kevin did not stop while thinking. In just ten seconds, all the invisible blacks were on the ground.
After thinking for a while, Kevin took off a piece of clothing and wrapped up the equipment of the cyborgs on the corpse. After thinking for a while, he threw it in a corner.
He continued to move towards the target, and the shallow strike in his hand basically never stopped.
Until half an hour later, a strong man came out with a Den Den Mushi, another cyborg.
"Who are you? Do you know where this is? How dare you break in without permission?"
The voice in the Den Den Mushi was obviously Vinsmoke. Kevin only realized at this moment that because of the transformation technique, the other party did not know his identity.
But it didn't matter.
Kevin ignored the Den Den Mushi. After his figure passed by, the Den Den Mushi and the cyborg split into two at the same time.
Holding the knife in one hand, Kevin moved forward again.
After Den Den Mushi died, Vinsmoke Judge's face was extremely ugly, and he glanced at Borsalino who was eating soba noodles beside him.
"Shouldn't it be your turn to take action at this time?"
Borsalino finished drinking the noodle soup, exhaled, and replied: "This level of Conqueror Haki, and the Observation Haki that just detected all the invisible soldiers. It's so strong, but if there is no record in the database, it can only be one guy."
Vinsmoke Judge was stunned: "Fight... Cloak Man?"
Borsalino stood up: "It's really a terrifying combat power... If you don't want Punk Hazard to be burned, quickly ask for help from the Navy Headquarters and the World Government."
The pertinent words made Vinsmoke react, and he hurriedly searched for Den Den Mushi.
And Borsalino left here and walked out of the institute.
In the corridor, Zhan Taomaru led the navy of the Science Defense Force to gather, but each of them still held a flintlock rifle in their hands.
"Huh..."
Borsalino sighed.
Compared to the Revolutionary Army, the World Government seems to have no intention of upgrading the weapons and equipment of the navy soldiers.
The only ones who have more powerful weapons than this group of navy are cyborgs and mechanical devices, and they always have the highest authority inside.
Throughout Punk Hazard, many key places have monitoring equipment of the World Government, and their purpose is also to prevent Vinsmoke Judge.
And he himself and the scientific defense forces such as Zhan Taomaru are stationed again for the same reason.
However, after the notice of the appointment of the general of the headquarters, he may be away for a while for the safety of the Celestial Dragons, so there will be this action at home.
"Old man, the research institute is being invaded."
Zhan Taomaru's axe in his hand is eager to try, but Borsalino's eyes twitched.
This kid... I guess the master swung a knife, and for the sake of Vegapunk, he had to save him and let him not die too quickly.
Waving his hand, Borsalino said: "Everyone stay where you are, don't go out, it's just a waste of life."
Zhan Taowan frowned: "Is the opponent very powerful? As the man with the strongest defense on the sea, I am also very powerful!"
The strongest defense...
With a sigh, Borsalino looked at the navy in front of him: "You can't pose any threat to the strong enemy. You should have felt palpitations just now? With that level of domineering domineering, if you face that person directly, you may have fainted now."
Borsalino ignored Zhan Taowan and went directly to Kevin's direction.
These words made the navy look at each other.
When did this ambiguous and righteous vice admiral start to consider them, a group of ordinary navy?
You know, not long ago, the colleagues on Vice Admiral Sakaski's ship all died in the Wan Guo Sea.
So everyone's eyes turned to Zhan Taowan, which made the little fat man very unhappy.
He waved his hand and said, "Don't get involved in the battle for now, but waiting like this is not the style of my strongest defensive man. Let's go!"
...
Inside the research institute, a large number of biochemicals were dispatched in teams, charging towards Kevin fearlessly.
However, with just the power of domineering, the role of these biochemicals was just to delay Kevin's steps.
Soon, Kevin saw a huge mechanical soldier lying in a huge dome.
"Zizi..."
The sound of electric current and laser mixed together, and bright lights exploded at the same time.
"Boom boom..."
There was no figure in the huge pit, and the biochemicals were killed one by one under the cold light of the blade. Kevin jumped up and looked at the protective shield in front of him.
"Swish!"
The slash fell, and the protective shield exploded.
"Boom!!"
After the roar, the dust settled, but the defensive power created by Vinsmoke Gage was not broken.
But as Vegapunk said, the defensive power of the shield depends on the energy problem, and this kind of thing is not that strong.
The next moment, Kevin, who had not yet landed, sheathed his sword.
In an instant, the domineering aura was absorbed, the blade was invisible, and the shield was shattered from top to bottom.
"Bang."
Shattered like glass, Kevin went straight to the giant mechanical soldier after landing.
Reached out his hand and was about to touch.
"Buzz..."
In the buzzing sound, Borsalino and Kevin looked at each other: "I advise you to take it back, otherwise it will hurt."
Kevin replied: "You were there when we were in Baldigo before? It seems that even if you have seen my power, you still don't remember the embarrassment of the Sabaody Archipelago."
After the voice fell, his hand pressed it up without any hesitation.
"Swish!"
The laser was blocked by the blade, and Kevin's arm muscles bulged.
"I really met a scary guy this time!"
After sighing, Borsalino jumped up, and it seemed that endless lasers were shot at Kevin.
"Boom boom boom..."
The ground where the huge mechanical soldier was placed was hit by countless holes by the laser, but Kevin disappeared directly.
At this moment, the floating power of the chicken spell began to be applied, and the mechanical soldier like a mountain slowly rose into the air.
"Bang!"
Borsalino stepped down, and the mechanical soldier paused, but still floated up in accordance with the power of the rules.
The next moment, golden flashes spread, and a long sword swept through, hitting the air from the gap between the light spots.
Not far away, Borsalino re-condensed and said: "Your target is this thing? This is the property of the World Government, and I won't let you take it away."
After the voice fell, the light flashed again, but the target was not Kevin, but the mechanical soldier that was slowly floating up.
"Wait a minute, Borsalino."
At this time, the voice of Saint Satan came from the monitoring station that Borsalino reminded when they just looked at each other.
Borsalino also stopped the photochemical transformation.
"Your laser should not be able to destroy it yet. Now your goal is to prevent it from taking off and wait for support."
At this time, Kevin also looked at the monitoring Den Den Mushi: "So this time, the five of you are coming together? Last time, Baldigo sank into the sea, so it's not bad to let Punk Hazard sink this time."
In the Den Den Mushi, Satan Saint said: "Why do the Revolutionary Army want this thing?"
"Swish."
Kevin, who wanted to destroy the monitoring Den Den Mushi with a knife, was blocked by a huge lightsaber.
...
