Chapter 177 Storm

The city of water.

City Hall Official Residence.

Mayor Bingshan stood by the window and opened the blinds with his fingers. He peered through the narrow gap at the storm outside. In fact, he could not see anything at all. The big raindrops pattered on the glass, playing a chaotic music. .

The storm was so violent.

Even the water god Yaqua Ragna, who reincarnates every four years, is not as terrifying as this typhoon.

This is the most horrific natural disaster that Bingshan has ever seen in his life.

The typhoon swept across from the distant sea, and everything in its way was blown away. The small fishing boats in the port flew into the sky, and dozens of large ships connected by iron cables relied on heavy anchors to barely resist the storm. The end of the blow, the official residence of the city hall.

Fortunately, the City of Water will be attacked by the gods of water every four years. This city and its residents have sufficient experience in resisting typhoons and tsunamis. Otherwise, in the face of such natural disasters, this place would be destroyed in an instant. Turn into hell on earth.

"How terrible!"

The iceberg peered through the crack between the blinds, looking at the storm outside the window in awe. In the face of this terrible natural disaster, human beings are so insignificant.

What's even more frightening is that such natural disasters may be man-made.

The evening before yesterday, when Bingshan was inspecting the shipyard, he met an unplanned guest and easily defeated all his guards without harming anyone. He just sent him a message.

Typhoon is coming.

It did not explain why there was a typhoon, but the unmistakable attitude made people feel a little anxious. What if a typhoon really comes?

Before the guest left, he identified himself in a voice that only he could hear. He was an envoy from the Revolutionary Army. Because he couldn't bear to see the residents of the Water City suffer unreasonable disasters, he came here to visit and deliver the message. This was Secretary Carly. Even the law doesn’t know.

Of course,

Bingshan is not a bad person who trusts others unconditionally.

It is impossible to trust this guy who claims to be the envoy of the Revolutionary Army just because of a few words from the other party.

but.

Bingshan is a good mayor.

He wholeheartedly considers the interests of the citizens of Water City, and he is not willing to take risks even if it is just a possibility.

Furthermore, the arrival of the typhoon did not happen overnight. The early signs made him choose a safer path. Even if he was cheated, he would only lose a little prestige and money. This was not an unbearable loss for Bingshan.

On the contrary, in case it is true.

He couldn't imagine how much damage the Water City would suffer...

Therefore, after a fierce ideological struggle, and after contacting the mayor of Bimini in the neighboring sister city of Kip, they found that the other party had also received a message from someone who claimed to be an envoy of the Revolutionary Army. After some discussion, the two decided to rather trust It has.

Bingshan issued mandatory administrative orders with the power of the mayor, discarding the protests from businessmen, fishermen and other people who had lost interests. All citizens were forced into a special state to prevent typhoons and tsunamis.

Then,

Natural disasters come as expected.

The citizens who were still complaining about the mayor's idleness hid in their homes and began to praise the mayor's wiseness and decisiveness.

"Kalifa, are you sure there are no problems with the disaster prevention measures?"

"This is the seventh time you have asked the same question today. You have personally checked all the disaster prevention measures on the island. There will be no problem." The blond secretary in a tight-fitting hip skirt pushed up her glasses and took the trouble to Answered the mayor's question.

"Um...it's no problem."

Mayor Bingshan smiled awkwardly.

It's not that he is forgetful, it's that this typhoon is so terrifying that it makes people a little worried and worried that something has been omitted.

Outside the window, the storm roared.

The dark sea of ​​clouds was so low that it was almost as if it was pressed over the head of the city hall official residence. If you stretched out your hand slightly, you could touch the dark sea of ​​clouds like splashing ink. The deafening thunder became extremely loud and flashed in an instant. The passing electric light will project a white light through the cracks in the blinds.

Such a scene,

It's really scary.

There were not just one or two children in the Water City who were so frightened that they peed their pants.

There are many people who are worried about this terrible typhoon, and Mayor Bingshan is just one of them. Besides him, there are many people who feel more obvious pressure from this storm. In the final analysis, the capital of the bottom of the water is just an innocent person who is unfortunately affected by the storm. By.

The real target is floating on the sea!

"Hey, what a bad start! Mr. Zefa, this storm came at the wrong time." In the bridge, Doflamingo, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, let out a gloating laugh. He made no secret of his pleasure at seeing the navy in misfortune.

Even he himself is in this unlucky category.

"Tenyaksha, shut your mouth."

Zefa looked at him coldly, not angry but powerful.

The violent momentum rushed towards him, making Doflamingo raise his eyebrows. This old man who was already disabled still maintained such majesty. He was worthy of being a former navy admiral. Even after he retired, he should not be underestimated! The unhappiness in his heart was temporarily suppressed by him. This was not a good time to get angry. Let's wait for an opportunity to settle accounts with this old guy in the future!

"Teacher Zefa, this storm may not be an accident."

Gion suddenly spoke.

The storms and waves outside the window reminded her of the situations she had encountered on the sea off the coast of Alabasta.

The storm howls,

It's raining heavily,

The waves are huge.

"In the last operation, the revolutionary army also took advantage of the storm to launch a surprise attack."

"I know."

Zefa nodded.

There was some distress on his face, "Long... that kid also received training under me before. His ability... is as extremely dangerous as Whitebeard. Originally... ··Alas! It's too late to say anything. Now that the storm is coming, it means that all our actions have been seen through."

"I'm afraid what's going to happen next is not optimistic, Porusalino."

Zefa's eyes fell on General Porusalino.

No matter how bad the relationship between the master and the apprentice is, Zefa's overall view does not allow the navy to still have internal conflicts at this time. Don't look at the old man who has the great ideal of overthrowing the world government under the bewitchment of Elus. But he needed to stay in the Navy until he saw enough signs of victory.

The strong men who tried their best to instigate rebellion against the navy hatched a brand new navy through the hen of the World Government.

so,

He is now thinking wholeheartedly from the navy's standpoint.

He did not expect to really defeat the revolutionary army in this action. Monkey D. Long was once one of his students. He did not see through the ambition in this student's heart at the time, but with his rich educational experience , he believed that Long's talent and talent could be ranked among the top three among all the students he had taught.

To defeat the revolutionary army is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Being able to successfully recapture the Devil's Son is already the greatest success.

In addition, he must try his best to preserve the strength of the navy and not allow these brave sailors to make meaningless sacrifices due to conflicts with the revolutionary army. Even if they die in battle, they should die fighting pirates. Instead of falling into a fight with the revolutionary army.

"At this time, we can only force our way in, there is no room for trickery!"

Porusalino responded slowly.

After hearing this, the navy generals showed serious expressions. If it is a visible enemy, even the four emperors, they do not have the courage to wield their swords, but... natural disasters such as typhoons and tsunamis But it makes people very helpless. The endless typhoons and tsunamis are more troublesome opponents than the four emperors.

"Gion, Stoloberg, Dalmesia, Lakval, Stierres, you go and sit on other ships. Whether you are cutting the waves with your swords or blasting a path with your fists, remember your mission. Protect the battleship, and I don’t like any unnecessary casualties.”

Zefa stared at the five lieutenants.

Although the official commander of this operation is Poru Salino, as a former general and current naval chief instructor, no one will point out Zefa's behavior of overstepping his authority, even Polu, who has been robbed of his power. Salino always looked unconcerned.

This is ambiguous justice.

As long as it does not violate the justice in his heart, he is very happy that someone is willing to step forward and share the responsibility for him.

"Yes, Teacher Zefa."

"Instructor, just leave it to me."

"I promise that nothing will happen to my men."

The five lieutenant generals responded in unison.

Although the answers are not uniform, the title is either teacher or instructor, which means that all five of them have received training and guidance from Zefa... Elus can be said to be an eye-opener, old man Zefa's connections Really awesome.

"And you."

Zefa's eyes turned and fell on Elvus and the others.

"The same goes for you. I didn't ask you to come here just to watch the fun. Go and work." The old man gave the order without any politeness.

The content of the order was not difficult for the Shichibukai, but the commanding tone of old man Zefa made the arrogant empress a little dissatisfied, and Doflamingo also laughed strangely.

"If you're just protecting a few people, no problem."

Eleus was the first to speak and agreed.

You are already here, and if you continue to push and hold back, it would be better not to come in the first place! Moreover, Zefa is one of his own now, so of course he has to help support him.

The originally silent Shichibukai was torn open, and Cavendish was the second to agree. Then the bear nodded silently, and Doflamingo smiled "hahahaha", but he didn't Rejected, the proud empress finally snorted and reluctantly agreed.

The action plan is determined,

The five lieutenant generals and the five Shichibukai dispersed and each boarded a battleship.

There are a total of fifteen battleships. Apart from the flagship, there are still four battleships that lack strong men to guard them. Zefa also personally took action. The remaining three battleships have nine major generals evenly distributed among them. Even if three major generals join forces, they are still not as good as one. The lieutenant general is powerful, but someone is worse than no one.

This is a last resort,

This natural disaster attack was so terrifying. The destructive power of typhoons and tsunamis reached a terrifying height.

This was an attack capable of burying an entire fleet into the sea.

"Are you preparing for a protracted war?"

Elus held the moonlight sword in his hand and split the sea waves with a sword. He looked up at the black clouds and heavy rain in the sky thoughtfully. Such a natural disaster indeed has the destructive power to destroy the naval fleet, but only if there is no The fleet is commanded by the general.

The same fleet is completely different with or without a general on board.

Although such a storm is terrifying, it is not enough to kill the admiral. At most, it will reduce the number of the fleet.

He didn't believe that Long didn't know that there were so many strong men on the fleet, so even though he knew that there were strong men such as Porusalino and Zefa sitting in charge, he still caused such a natural disaster... If it wasn't for launching a surprise attack, there was a chance that Eighty-nine were trying to stall for time and kill their energy.

"Now, the Navy is going to have a headache."

A protracted war is not in line with the navy's plan.

Not to mention the long-term occupation of the combat power of two generals and five lieutenant generals will put a lot of pressure on the naval headquarters. Foreign aid like Elus alone is destined to be unable to accompany the navy and the revolutionary army in chasing each other. of mini games!

Just delay it as long as possible...

"Hey, Mr. Long, are you a little too brave?"

Eleus suddenly turned his head and looked to the right.

Flashes of light tore through the deep darkness, and emerald green light cannons passed through the heavy rain and fell towards the navy fleet.

"Isn't it? Do you want to fight me too?"

Elus raised his hand and waved his sword, and the blue-white lightsaber sliced ​​the emerald-green light cannon. The energy wave that exploded in mid-air set off a fierce wind, blowing away the falling rain, and actually created a short-lived A space without rain.

soon,

The continuous rain connects the sea and the sky again.

Through the thick rain curtain, Elus saw huge man-made dragons on the horizon. They were all extremely durable black iron dragons with rough skin and thick flesh. They had extremely hard metal scales, even if they were attacked by battleships. If the main gun hits, as long as it is not hit in the same place consecutively, it can be withstood.

On the backs of these giant dragons, there are cannons, which are Cerberus-type, powerful weapons that can fire light cannons. Not only is their destructive power amazing, because they are light cannons, their range is far beyond that of today's cannons. Various solid projectiles.

At this moment, the revolutionary army was relying on the long range of the Cerberus Type 1 to carry out carpet bombing against the navy's fleet from a distance.

Eleus kept swinging his sword to block the light cannons shot down, protecting the battleship at his feet from harm.

Not just him,

The rest of the people also took action individually to resist the sudden and onslaught of the Revolutionary Army. No one expected that the Revolutionary Army would launch an attack at this time. Even Elus thought that the Revolutionary Army was probably delaying the attack. Time's idea, I didn't expect the dragon's courage to be so amazing.

He actually attacked first.

Obviously, the navy is the hunter and the revolutionary army is the prey, but when Long did this, his identity was suddenly changed.

With two (1 former) generals, five lieutenant generals, nine major generals, and five kings, the powerful fleet of the Shichibukai was hunted by the revolutionary army as prey. This courage... the world's most dangerous criminal It is worthy of the attention of the world government and navy.

"Life is full of surprises!"

Eleus laughed happily.

Even though he was being attacked by artillery fire from the Revolutionary Army, and using the weapons he sold to the Revolutionary Army... none of this could stop his good mood, and he didn't hate this unexpected fun. The situation gave him a full sense of expectation.

Next,

Where will things go?

Eleus's smile became even brighter.
