The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

After the Demon-Slaying Order's fleet dispersed and headed towards its target, the guerrillas deployed by the Red Flag Army in various locations also took action, preparing to intercept and block them on their way.

A large number of ships flying red flags headed for the sea. They had warships, modified armed merchant ships and cargo ships, and even some light merchant ships were added to the team. In order to respond to the Demon Killing Order, the Revolutionary Party truly mobilized all the forces in the sea area controlled by them.

In this way, under the order of the revolutionary party organization, these ships from all over the West Sea were reorganized into a series of task forces. Their primary goal was to keep an eye on the invading naval fleet.

The Red Flag Army's warships were out of the attack range of the Navy's warships, and they were almost moving parallel to the Navy's warships. If the revolutionaries had not issued other orders, they would even follow the Navy fleet directly to their destination.

Soon, the Red Flag Fleet received an order from the Central Committee. The Party Central Committee only asked to keep an eye on the navy. If the Red Flag Fleet wanted to take the initiative to attack, it needed to report to the Party Central Committee before it could act. However, as more and more Red Flag Fleets gathered in the sea area, the Red Flag Army on the warships also became restless.

"Comrade, should we launch an attack? We have an absolute advantage in numbers now. I think we can launch a large-scale raid." asked the commander of a Red Flag Fleet squadron.

The person he consulted was our old friend Galen. As early as the outbreak of the West Sea Revolution, Marx and Engels sent people from the central government to various places to lead the revolutionary teams. Galen was one of these people. And because of his relatively strong strength, he unexpectedly became the joint commander of the Red Flag Army fleet assembled in this sea area.

"My opinion is that we should continue to wait. Judging from the current situation, although our army is large in number, its quality is completely incomparable to the navy's warships. Now, except for the flagship under our feet, all other warships cannot match the navy's firepower.

Even in our fleet, there are many light ships that were temporarily converted. On those ships, there are only one or two old-fashioned cannons, which are far inferior to armed merchant ships.

We should wait a little longer. Time is on our side. Every moment we wait, more of our warships will come from all over the sea. It is better to wait until my fleet is fully assembled before starting the battle." Galen made his suggestion.

As the former general of the Kingdom of Deya, Galen had a unique vision, and many fleet commanders were convinced by him. So, the Red Flag Fleet continued to keep an eye on them. They were like a siege net in the sea, tightening the hunting ground for the navy step by step.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Soon, the central government issued another order, and it was Ma En who called the Red Flag Fleet Joint Command directly through Den Den Mushi. The order he issued made all the Red Flag Army excited.

After learning the latest order from the Party Central Committee, Galen immediately sent a message to the other Red Flag Fleets that had not received the news through flag signals. At the same time, as the joint commander, he also began to coordinate the operations of many warships.

Fortunately, the Joint Command had already reported to the Party Central Committee and prepared a backup fleet attack plan. Galen did not have to think about the battle plan, he only needed to organize and execute the plan according to the plan.

Although it was the first time for Galen to command such a large-scale naval battle, he still faithfully performed his duties with rich command experience. Relying on the strong organizational power of the Red Flag Army formed by the Revolutionary Party, the Red Flag Fleet quickly completed the formation of the battle formation.

Then, the Red Flag Fleet took advantage of the mist that spread over the sea at dawn and launched an attack on the Navy's Demon-Slaying Fleet.

In order to conceal the attack, the Red Flag Fleet even removed the red flags as a symbol, just because they were too bright. The main force of the attack was the light ships with the fastest sailing speed. They would play to their advantage and strike the enemy.

At dawn, the navy on the Demon Slayer Order was a little tired, and it was time for them to change shifts. This also prevented the marines on the ship from immediately discovering the Red Flag Fleet hidden in the mist.

As for the vice admirals who were commanders, with their strength, they could indeed use their Observation Haki to cover such a long distance when they used all their strength. But no one would use their Observation Haki all the time, as it would also consume physical strength.

Therefore, the navy also formulated relevant regulations to prevent surprise attacks. Every once in a while, the navy commander would come to the deck and use his observation Haki to easily sweep the area, which was enough to eliminate most of the dangers.

The same is true for the Demon Slayer Fleet led by Aokiji and Akainu. They will be the ones to perform the task of scanning with their observation Haki. Unfortunately, the two people who need to perform the scanning task are a little absent-minded. When they found that there were ships approaching from the outside, they did not call for alert immediately.

After all, when they went out to explore that night, Akainu and Aokiji noticed traces of a large fleet around the Demon Slayer Fleet. However, everything had to be carried out with the priority of the Demon Slayer Order, so the two of them didn't care much, after all, no one would be stupid enough to attack the Demon Slayer Fleet.

When the two found that there were ships approaching quickly, they did not take action immediately. These ships were just reconnaissance at most. Could anyone dare to attack the navy fleet openly? Not to mention, the ships they scanned were light ships. Not to mention such ships, they could not even carry cannons.

In this way, with the two admiral candidates and many marines relaxed, the Red Flag Fleet's vanguard successfully entered the cannon range, which was both their own and the enemy's range. However, for the Red Flag Army, they only needed to take the initiative, and now the initiative had come to the Red Flag Fleet.

So, in the eyes of the navy who didn't take it seriously, a shell streaked across the sky and landed directly on the deck of the navy ship. When the marines reacted, they looked in the direction of the cannon in amazement, and what they saw was the fleet that had hoisted the red flag again. The war on the sea officially began.

On the navy side, Akainu, the fleet commander, reacted immediately. He was on the deck, and used his observation Haki to quickly spread his voice to the five warships. "Everyone, alert, take up your gun positions to meet the attack." Then, Akainu observed the formation. At this time, the navy fleet was in a vertical position, and the firepower had not yet been fully deployed.

Akainu immediately ordered, "All officers and soldiers hold the formation steady and change the formation immediately. Pass on my military order, all the troops and ships will immediately change from the fish formation to a straight line formation, form a battle line, and fight back immediately." Aokiji also commanded the flag signal troops to help the navy adjust the formation of the warships. The attack of the Akagi fleet had just begun.

At the same time, the other two fleets of the navy were also attacked by the Red Flag Fleet.

Unlike the Demon-Slaying Fleet, the lieutenant admirals on these two fleets organized alerts as soon as they discovered suspicious ships.

Unfortunately, the two fleets' alertness was still miscalculated. The Red Flag Fleet still took the initiative by using the speed of its light ships. The angry navy could only quickly launch a counterattack.

And when the rumble of cannons rang out, the second phase of the West Sea Revolution officially began on the scale of the entire West Sea.
