One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

The sun rises and sets, time flies, and five days pass quietly.

East China Sea, Windmill Kingdom.

The majestic city walls shone golden in the sun, and the sea breeze blew the waves and roared on the steel surface.

On both sides of the ring-shaped wall, dark and powerful naval ships were arrayed neatly, with abyss-like cannon muzzles aimed into the distance, and bloody flags fluttering in the wind.

The birds hovering in the sky seemed to feel the tense atmosphere. After chirping a few times, they spread their snow-white wings and rode forward in the salty sea breeze.

Passing through the towering city walls, passing over the soldiers moving in an orderly manner below, overlooking the ocean-like black waves on the square, white seagulls dropped a few feathers.

Among the swaying pieces of white feathers, standing firmly on the top of the 'Heavenly Dragon's Hoof' flag pierced by three sharp swords, looking into the distance at this impregnable steel fortress.

According to the plan that had been made long ago, in the past five days, Heath and Heron, as well as a group of high-level officials from the kingdom, relocated all residents within thousands of miles.

And with the power of the Piao Piao Fruit and the Island Fruit, he forcibly pieced together an island with a diameter twice as large as Malinfando.

Coupled with the fact that Hiss had awakened the Iron Fruit, the largest fortress in human history for hundreds of years was born.

After looking at the time on the watch, the commanders of the fleets on both sides of the island picked up the phone and began to shout to the entire army, signaling the ships to sail into the combat area.

There are a total of 100 warships on both sides, arranged horizontally in an echelon of 50 ships, like two natural chasms across the sea, protecting Divanstin behind him.

Although 100 warships is not a large number for this war, and can even be described as very few, these warships are not ordinary ships. Each of them is equipped with the most cutting-edge technology of the Windmill Kingdom.

In addition, the hull of the warship is not made of traditional wood, but a special alloy that is far harder than ordinary steel.

Coupled with some scattered internal configurations, the cost of any ship will not be less than 35 billion Baileys.

This is still the case when material vendors sell raw materials at the lowest price.

Without the support of Tezzolo, the world's richest man, and other participating countries, the Windmill Kingdom itself would not be able to generate such a large amount of funds in another hundred years.

Behind these lined-up warships, there are four lines of defense.

The first line of defense is the towering walls on the outside and inside of Difanstin. On these walls that exude metallic luster, there is a machine gun every five steps, and a powerful gun can be seen every ten steps. Powerful cannon.

The thumb-thick Gatling gun barrel and the black muzzle exude frightening power, pointing at the sparkling golden sea in the distance. They will carry out an all-round saturation attack the moment the World Government's fleet appears. Strive to annihilate the enemy's vital forces as much as possible.

The second line of defense is located under the two city walls. It is a long road up to 2 kilometers wide. This road can directly lead to the execution platform.

In the center of this road paved with stones and dirt, more than a dozen division captains of the Whitebeard Pirates and the five commanders of the Revolutionary Army, each leading an army, formed an unbreakable pass.

Behind them were troops from allied countries wearing different costumes.

Once the World Government's large forces broke through the outer warship blockade and withstood the saturation attacks of machine guns and artillery positions, they successfully landed.

Then, it will be up to these people with lofty ideals who yearn for freedom and peace to stop them from breaking into the square and buy enough time for the artillery on the city wall to output.

Jozi and Ivankov folded their hands on their chests, surrounded by their companions who were not inferior to them in strength, looking decisively at the boundless sea at the end of the road.

The white ribbons tied on their arms are gifts they give to themselves after they are still alive.

The third line of defense is in Difanstin Square, consisting of Yixiao, Dorag, Thoros, Barrett... a total of 10 general-level experts, as well as a large number of elite lieutenant generals, and countless naval officers. A defensive formation.

In the large square, the powerful momentum exuded by tens of thousands of people converged into a pillar of air rising into the sky, stirring up the sea of ​​clouds above their heads.

The fourth line of defense is cruder than the previous ones, and is not even fundamentally a line of defense.

Because here, apart from An, there is only Saint Maz who is kneeling on the execution platform and carrying a heavy sea tower stone shackles.

This also means that if you want to rescue Maz Sheng, you must defeat An from the front.

Further back is the "Wall of Justice" engraved with two powerful and simple Chinese characters, which symbolizes unwavering faith and is the military building of Difanstin! !

On the surface of two broad city walls, one low and one high, NEO Navy logistics personnel went back and forth, working tirelessly to transport bullets and cannonballs.

Even if the heavy artillery and machine guns were piled up into a hill behind, they continued to be carried back and forth.

"That's enough, comrade, these are enough for us!!"

The artilleryman and machine gunner, who were leaning against the wall and chewing cigars, looked nervous, and gradually smiled a little because of each other's actions.

As if he didn't hear what the other party said, the logistics worker carrying supplies still went his own way.

No longer paying attention to the frightened poor guy, the biting sea wind blew by. The artilleryman stretched out his trembling palms, took out a box of matches from the pocket of his military uniform, and struck it several times before lighting it.

call!

Taking a deep breath, his warm body exhaled a long stream of smoke. The artilleryman stood up, looked at the deserted city in the distance, and said, "I haven't smoked a cigar in almost three years. I almost forgot about it." It tastes like that.”

Letting the turbulent sea breeze accelerate the burning of the cigar, he lifted his hair and collar, and the man in military uniform remained motionless, enjoying the moment of tranquility before the war.

"I really don't understand you guy. You obviously have hundreds of millions in wealth to inherit, but you have to go to the army to suffer." The machine gunner sitting on the back asked puzzledly while smoking a cigarette.

The man smoking the cigar chuckled, turned around and asked: "What about you, the only son of the Finance Minister of the Kingdom of Korrok in the West Sea? Why don't you inherit your father's position honestly and run away from home to come thousands of miles away? Where is the Windmill Kingdom outside?"

Seeing that his identity was exposed, the young man sitting next to him didn't care. He pinched out the cigarette in his hand with his thumb and index finger, showing a look of disgust, and said: "Don't compare me with those despicable nobles, I would rather die in this chaos." On the battlefield, I don’t want to be a disgusting silverfish like them!!”

"If I have to find a reason, it's probably because of..."

"The justice in my heart has not yet been extinguished!!"
