One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Chapter 117 A country full of hope

Windmill Kingdom, military port.

Three warships docked at the port, and Ace and Natsu stepped off the warship.

At the port pier, Heron, wearing a black suit, was already waiting here.

"Mr. Ackerman Naz, welcome to the Windmill Kingdom. I am the king's brother, Doug Heron."

Seeing the aura of the man in front of him who was no weaker than him, Natsu had a question in his mind, when did the East China Sea have so many strong men?

Whether it is the three little ones around him or the man in front of him, their strength is beyond Donghai's expected level.

While Natsu was thinking, Sheron explained the next mission to the three of Ace.

Patting Natsu on the shoulder, Sheron motioned for him to follow him.

……

three days later.

The three kingdom warships sailed in different directions.

On the deck of the warship, Ace and Natsu stood side by side, both wearing the uniforms that symbolized the kingdom's navy captains.

In the past three days, Ace took Natsu to visit the entire kingdom. Different from the countries in his mind before, the Windmill Kingdom was a surprising kingdom.

Although it was only a few days, Natsu could feel the heartfelt happiness of the residents of the kingdom.

Looking at the bus boat protected by the warships and the merchant ships following, Natsu murmured: "It would be great if this country showed up earlier, maybe then Lucy wouldn't die."

"Pirates!" the soldier in charge of the reconnaissance sounded the alarm.

Hearing the pirates, Natsu drew his sword and prepared to attack, but was stopped by Ace who was standing beside him.

With a confused look on his face, Natsu took back his sword.

Understanding Natsu's confusion, Ace smiled and said, "We are not the only soldiers on this ship. Just watch!"

Soon, as Tara gave the order, the entire warship began to operate, and every soldier performed his or her duties.

After a while, the artillery on the warship roared continuously, accompanied by thunderous explosions. The fearsome pirate ship had been sunk.

"Colonel Ace, Colonel Natsu, the pirates have been annihilated!!" Tara reported to the two of them.

The whole battle process is smooth and smooth, which is pleasing to the eye.

Seeing the pirates struggling in the sea, Natsu thought in his heart, the king who is dedicated to the people, the diligent and down-to-earth officials, and the well-trained soldiers, "is really a country full of hope."

……

"Boom!"

On the sea, the warship's artillery spit out tongues of fire again, and the dark shells drew deadly arcs and flew away.

Just when the artillery was about to hit the pirate ship, several figures jumped up from the pirate ship and shattered the incoming cannonballs.

Seeing that the enemy refused to surrender and actually dared to attack us, Tara prepared to let the gunners fire again.

At this moment, a hand pressed Tara's shoulder, and Natsu's plain voice sounded: "Major Tara, let me, the commander, share some of the pressure for you."

Pulling out his long sword, Natsu waved it casually, sending sharp red sword energy flying towards the pirate ship in the distance.

"Damn, what the hell is this!!"

"Captain, I don't want to die yet, please help me!"

……

In the reluctance of the pirates, the entire pirate ship was cut into several pieces and sank into the sea.

……

Caches Island.

Putting down Natsu and the new garrison soldiers, Ace continued to lead the warship to eliminate the pirates.

……

Nanhai, Branch 113.

It was another quiet day, and Mars was talking on the phone with someone in the office.

"I understand, Chief Instructor Zefa."

Putting away the phone's receiver, Mars finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As the weather along the Grand Line has not improved, more and more pirates have been carried to the four seas by the storm, and many of them are powerful pirates who have begun to make plans for White Bird Town.

Although the naval strength of Branch 113 is not afraid of these pirates, what Mars is afraid of is that the White Bird Town will be destroyed in the war.

However, if the former Navy Admiral Zefa comes here, he should be able to scare these pirates who do not know how to live or die.

……

Navy Headquarters.

In the marshal's office, Zefa explained his intention to Warring States.

Regarding Zefa's request to go to White Bird Town, Warring States had no good excuse to refuse, so he could only agree with embarrassment.

Just as he left the office, a figure chased after him, "Ah la la, Teacher Zefa, let me go with you!"

Hearing the curses from the civil war country in the office, Zefa laughed loudly and led Kuzan towards the port where the waves were rising.

"It's really not a worry at all," thinking of Kuzan, Garp and others in Warring States felt extremely helpless.

……

"Swish!"

Hill, in the form of a moon wolf, shuttled among the pirates. Every time he appeared and disappeared, his claws would be dyed bright red, carrying the life of a pirate.

"Boss, this guy is too fast, you can't even see where he is!" In the middle of the crowd, the first mate of the pirate ship shouted to his captain.

"It's so noisy. I'm not blind. Just concentrate on me!" the bored pirate captain responded angrily.

"Are you looking for me?" A strange voice sounded from the pirate captain's ears.

With a human body and the head of a wolf, his blue eyes were gleaming, and his wolf claws dripping with blood were placed on the pirate's shoulders. Hill looked at the pirate captain quietly.

"Please let me go, I don't want to die yet!"

The pirate captain's trembling begging for mercy sounded, and his terrified head flew into the sky.

Shaking off the blood on his paws, Hill signaled his men to check the pirate information.

A few days later, the ship arrived at White Bird Town. Hill asked his guard members to communicate with the stationed navy, and he took the pirate's head to Branch 113.

Handing the pirate's head to the navy in charge of the bounty, Hill went directly to Mars' office.

For this branch regular, the navy officer on duty did not stop him and allowed him to walk upstairs.

In the office, Mars was sitting on the sofa handling the entire White Bird Island official business, while Finn and the other three were busy in White Bird Town.

A familiar movement sounded, and Mars knew who it was without looking up.

"Hill, why are you here again? Could it be that there is news about Major General An?"

"no!"

"Then why are you here!"

"We've caught all the pirates we gave you last time. Now give me a batch."

In the spirit of keeping his wealth to others, Mars took out a stack of wanted posters with the location of the pirates and handed them to Hill.

"Yes, the value of the pirates you gave me is almost as much as the profit from this trade. Having you in the navy has really accumulated eight lifetimes of merit," Hill clicked his tongue as he turned over the wanted order in his hand.

"Anyway, this money is also given by the world government. Using their money to strengthen our power is simply killing two birds with one stone," Mars said meaningfully.

……

The great sea route, the windless zone.

The pirate ship on Nine Snake Island was still on the sea. The two snakes in front of the ship were spitting out letters and neighing, but they did not dare to take a step forward.

At the front of the pirate ship, Hancock stared at the warship that stretched in front of him like a city wall with an ugly expression.

As one of the Seven Warlords under the King, if ordinary naval warships dared to stop his car, Hancock would definitely deal with them without hesitation.

But Hancock did not dare to do this with the warship in front of him.

On the deck of the warship, a large number of elite marines pointed at the Nine Snakes Pirates with weapons in hand, but they all had bleeding wounds more or less on their bodies.

In the tense atmosphere, heavy footsteps sounded from behind the crowd, and an old man walked out of the separated navy.
