[comprehensive] red tide

Chapter 99 Pandora's Heart

On the other side of the video screen, in an unknown space, the black card was shattered soundlessly at the woman's fingertips.

In an instant, it seemed as if water waves were rippling, and the transparent ripples spread layer by layer, and a line of orange-yellow light arcs flicked across the center, almost in the blink of an eye, and the two people in the picture disappeared.

The image transmitted through the phone snail left only an empty and lonely platform for the few naval central figures who participated in the meeting this time, and a small cradle embedded in the concave corner of the rock wall that was discarded together with the communicator.

A few minutes later, the angle of projection in front of everyone's eyes began to tilt, but the phone snail, which had lost its owner's breath, became powerless.

The audio-visual snail developed by the Naval Science Department and used as the highest warning signal has a very short time from waking up to dying. Now that the holder, Admiral Aokiji, has left, it also exhausted its life and gradually dried up.

The image dimmed and then disappeared——Silence spread, and a few pairs of eyes stared at the receiving end occupied by darkness, and no one spoke for a while.

A long silence lasted until the Supreme Commander broke the deadlock.

…………

He slammed his palm on the table, and the face of Marshal Warring States was darker than Ye Dao in the New World, "What's going on in Judiciary Island?"

"Report to Your Excellency the Marshal, the situation is as follows—"

The messenger who was caught by the commander's gaze suddenly shuddered, stood at attention, raised his chest and retracted his abdomen, "CP9 encountered the pirate Straw Hat Luffy and his gang while taking away the target according to the plan, and the two sides fought, and then...after..."

On the surface, the soldier stared straight ahead with his eyes open, but he was under a lot of pressure in his heart: it was scary to be stared at by the high-level figures of the headquarters as a focal point—the eyes of the Marshal of the Warring States Period were even more terrifying——

After hesitating for a few seconds, the young orderly closed his eyes, and continued to say as if dying:

"Afterwards, the Straw Hats chased to Judiciary Island and pierced through the world government/government/flag to declare war. His Excellency Spandain, the direct commander of CP9, activated the demon-slaying order. Now the enemy and us are fighting hand-to-hand."

While he still had the courage, he kept talking about the whole incident. Afterwards, the messenger shrank his shoulders and stood calmly with a face that was suddenly blue and white in the air pressure of a room that suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley.

Almost in tears, right?Are the expressions of the Supreme Commander and the generals ready to eat people? {{{(>_<)}}}.

…………

After a while, accompanied by the sound of creaking and grinding teeth, Marshal Sengoku slowly asked in a mild to weird tone, "The Straw Hat Pirates? This year's newcomers, Straw Hat Boy Monkey D. Luffy ?”

"Ah—yes...yes."

After the stammering answer, the orderly, who was the lowest military rank and the smallest force value, immediately lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the floor tiles on his toes, and he didn't have the courage to watch the predictable volcanic eruption × 2.

This year's new pirate, a straw hat kid born in the East China Sea, Monkey D. Luffy, is unfortunately the grandson of the naval hero Lieutenant General Garp, and what is even more unfortunate is that Lieutenant General Garp and Marshal Sengoku have been comrades-in-arms and close friends for many years.

Since the Straw Hat Boy's 3000 million reward order was released and his reputation gradually rose, the repair cost of the Navy Headquarters has also increased day by day.

Every time something happened to the Straw Hats and the bounty increased, Marshal Warring States would definitely scold Lieutenant General Garp.

Two high-ranking and well-loved central characters with a combined age of more than a hundred are almost like a couple arguing over the issue of children's education.

Either way, it's weird how it always ends up being a big fight.

In the end, it was always the headquarters building, the soul of the Marineford Navy, that was injured.

Then, this time, the Straw Hat gang went directly to Judiciary Island and burned the flag of the world government/government, literally tearing off the face of the navy and the world government/government, throwing them on the ground and stepping on them...

Ah—I don’t know if I can save my life by sneaking away when the marshal and the lieutenant generals are fighting and the generals and generals rush to break the fight.

The young soldier was deeply worried for himself.

…………

Terrified, terrified, the orderly pricked up his ears, and waited for the marshal to yell, and the lieutenant general responded with a smirk, and immediately lay down on the ground, straightened up, and then——

"Karp! It's your bastard's family again!!!" The Marshal of the Warring States roared like thunder, and his rising arrogance was holding the whole sky, and he was about to hit the target directly on top of his head.

And then…

Quiet--

very quiet----

very, very quiet——

After a while, Lieutenant General He, the chief of staff, replied calmly and peacefully, "Karp went out with the warship in the morning. I remember that you personally reviewed the mission document."

"in addition…"

After a pause for a few seconds, Lieutenant General He coolly poured a bucket of water on the well-known fire extinguisher (of the Marshal and Lieutenant General) in the Navy Headquarters to completely extinguish the burning anger on the head of the Supreme Commander, "You are off topic, Marshal of the Warring States Period."

"..." Supreme Commander, (o__)?

"..." generals and lieutenants, m(__)m

"..." The little soldier who consciously recovered his life, ~~o(>_<)o~~

…………

In the end, Huang Yuan had no choice but to smooth things over, "Yeah—the most urgent thing now is to confirm the location of Nicole Robin's reappearance after changing the space. After all, Kuzan is with her~"

No way, he kept silent, the marshal was so angry that he activated his ability... Hehe~ A big golden Buddha pierced through the roof. Don't wait for Judiciary Island to be devastated, and their navy headquarters will be destroyed first.

General Huang Yuan said that the scenery outside the office is good now, and he has no plans to move for the time being.

As one of the two generals who are second only to the Marshal, Akainu has always been reticent and serious, and he is so rigid when he doesn't speak. Fortunately, when he doesn't speak, it sometimes makes people even more irritated. The exact same words are amazing.

Lieutenant General Karp's apprentice Qingzhi Kuzan was not there, so Huang Yuan had to go out in person.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Marshal of the Warring States Period, whose face was ashen, took advantage of the situation to calm down. On the surface, he was angry, but when he spoke again, his tone adjusted and responded somewhat calmly.

"For Kuzan, just keep an eye on it. According to the disappearance of Nicole Robin several times, it seems that the space conversion takes time."

"The top priority now is Judicial Island! After the Demon Slaying Order is activated, how should it end?" The supreme commander pressed his hands on the table, leaning forward slightly, with an extremely serious expression.

"The military order is like a mountain. Even if the target of the attack is Judiciary Island, the general who received the warning will not have any doubts. At this moment, the fleet carrying out the order must have sailed to the gate of justice."

"The arrow on the string was accidentally shot/shot, and the destruction of Judiciary Island is a foregone conclusion."

…………

Thinking of this, Marshal Warring States couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, feeling heartache and resentment.

What happened today was his mistake.

In the original plan, there would be no actual activation of the Demon Slaughter Order. Admiral Akainu of the Navy Headquarters handed over the golden phone bug to the CP9 commander, and his original intention was just to follow the trend.

There is an ancient weapon blueprint hidden in the capital of seven waters. The identity of the holder is unknown. Several members of CP9 disguised themselves and hid in disguise in order to find out its whereabouts and take it back.

Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus, the three ancient weapons, are rumored to be able to easily destroy an island with just one blow, and living outside is almost equivalent to planting an indefinite time bomb beside countless ordinary people.

CP9 had been lurking for several years before vaguely discovering its whereabouts, but before it could take action, Nicole Robin actually appeared in the capital of seven waters. drawing.

After getting the news, the commander of CP9 contacted the Navy Headquarters and asked for military support; to seize the blueprints of ancient weapons and at the same time deal with highly wanted criminals, a few lurking personnel alone are not enough.

After discussions between several high-level officers of the navy and the staff department, one is that Admiral Akainu will come forward and give the gold bug that allows the launch of the demon-slaying order as a deterrent, and the other is to send people to the capital of seven waters to contact Nicole Robin, hoping that the other party will accept it. An olive branch from the Navy.

The candidate to go is General Aokiji.

As a result, Aokiji Kuzan went, and Straw Hat Luffy appeared out of nowhere.

It's like a curse, the capital of the seven waters gathers together.

…………

The Warring States Marshal here has actually been receiving contact from General Aokiji. Of course, those inexplicable emotional entanglements are not within the scope of the Supreme Commander's attention.

Qingzhi Kuzan has been thinking about him for 20 years, and it is understandable to be excited for a while. Although he is a bit obsessed with X, but finally their general is clean and infatuated.

God is sorry, there has been no good news from the Navy Headquarters for many years. They are either freaks or widowers.

Every holiday, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief looks at a large group of generals who have no place to go back and have to continue working, which is always an eyesore.

As the headquarter marshal, Sengoku stated that he should not destroy General Aokiji's pursuit of his sweetheart even if he can't help him. What if he accidentally makes his general celibate for the rest of his life?

Where can I find another person who has worried Kuzan for 20 years to compensate him?

Although every time he scolds fiercely, Marshal Sengoku still loves his general very much, and Aokiji is not someone who will change his position for the sake of women. Compared with feelings, what they insist on for half their lives is more important.

Therefore, it would be best for Nicole Robin to accept the invitation to become the new Shichibukai, and it would be even more wonderful if he could develop something with the admiral during this period.

Taking a step back, Nicole Robin refused the navy's request. The two sides started a war, and the premise of the deterrence of the Demon Slaying Order was the premise.

Who would have expected that the Navy Headquarters' plan to deal with Nicole Robin would end up being used in their own camp? ! CP Commander Old Spandyne, that man as cunning as a fox, actually raised such a stupid and vicious son!

That's a demon-slaying order, not a military exercise!

The entire island is destroyed, how many people will be buried in it, how dare that idiot!

…………

After a long, long time, Marshal of the Warring States Forced to suppress his anger raised his eyes, and said shyly, "Notify the general who carries out the order, try to..." He closed his eyes, let out a deep sigh, and then continued. , "Let the fleet try not to fire at the port and buildings, reduce the intensity of shelling, and give more time and opportunities for people on the island to evacuate."

The messenger quickly turned and left, and went to the war department to convey the order.

Afterwards, the Marshal of the Warring States Period slowly sat back in his seat, frowning tightly. The atmosphere in the conference room seemed very oppressive, partly because of the anger released by the Supreme Commander, partly because of Judiciary Island.

"Next, we can only wait." He raised his hand to signal the generals who had just stood up with him to sit down, and then, the Marshal of the Warring States Period slowly narrowed his eyes and said angrily, "If the ending is as planned, breaking into Judicial Island The entire army of lunatics was wiped out, and the blueprints for ancient weapons were safely recaptured, that’s all.”

"If——" Reluctant to say the opposite consequence, Marshal Warring States tightened his lips, skipped the bad idea after a while, and then said angrily, "Spandyne just wait to go to the military court!"

Ignoring the repeated orders of the Navy Headquarters, launching the Demon Slaughter Order without authorization, and if nothing is found in the end, then the damned idiot is waiting to be thrown into the deep sea prison to get rid of the bottom of the prison!

…………

"The commander-in-chief of the CP, Old Spandyne, I'm afraid he won't just let his son go to jail." General Huang Yuan replied leisurely, "That old fox must have received the news, and he may have already tried every means to replace his son. Shirk responsibility."

Glancing at the red dog Sakaski next to him, thinking for a while, the yellow monkey hooked the corners of his mouth, and smiled meaningfully, "What if that idiot hides away..."

"Escape from prison, huh—" General Akainu snorted coldly when he noticed the eyes of his colleagues, and slowly clenched his hands on the table. In an instant, a dark red light burst up with the high temperature, and then went out again in an instant. .

The two generals, the yellow monkey and the red dog, looked at each other, and then quickly looked away. After that, the general red dog stopped talking, but everyone in the conference room understood his answer:

Escaping prison?So what about the fury of the Navy Headquarters?Who can protect him?

Marshal Warring States knew it well, but he didn't bother to care about the ambiguous verbal confrontation between the two subordinates and the murderous hint in the meeting room. The naval camp was not monolithic. There were more or less differences among the three generals, , when those contradictions are faced with other camps, the attitude of the generals is absolutely consistent with the outside world.

The world government, revolutionary army, navy, pirates, black and white forces are interpenetrating and intricate. The Marshal of the Warring States Period cannot guarantee the loyalty of everyone in the naval camp, but the generals under his command, these people in the same camp, stick to it in their bones But it cannot be shaken.

As for the others, it is better to ignore them, lest he exhaust himself to death.

…………

After a brief silence, Marshal of the Warring States glanced at his side, and was about to speak to continue the next topic. Waiting for the end of the battle on Judiciary Island, they should discuss the issue of Nicole Robin...

After shushing and coughing, and drawing everyone's attention back, the Warring States Marshal said in a deep voice, "About Nicole Robin's ability..."

He hadn't finished speaking when a series of calls of porp por por phone snails suddenly cut into his ears.

"Yeah—that's really strange, how did you get to the old man?" Under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, the general Huang Yuan slowly rummaged through his pockets, with a rather inexplicable expression on his face.

After finally finding the phone snail that was screaming hoarsely, just after pressing the call button, the snail's face had not had time to conjure up a humanized expression, and the terrified screams had already passed:

"Admiral Aokiji appeared in the port of Marineford!"

"Your Excellency, General Huang Yuan, General Aokiji has frozen the space within one kilometer around him, and asked the Ministry of Science to activate the highest level of disease defense!"

"Please rush to support immediately, Your Excellency General Huang Yuan!"
