Chapter 179 Dr. Vegapunk Really Causes Trouble for People
"Retreat? Wise choice."
"As expected of Teacher Zefa."
Long Yang raised his voice and praised Zefa for his wisdom.
"Even if you praise him, the old man won't hear you!" Porusalino poured cold water on him.
"So what? I'm not flattering Mr. Zefa. He shouldn't stay in the Navy. The Revolutionary Army is more suitable for him. Only here can his ideals and beliefs be displayed. Otherwise, no matter how much training he has in Marineland, The naval commander is just raising dogs for the Tianlong people."
"Hey, hey, Long, don't curse at people casually!"
"Porusalino, what are you thinking about?"
The dragon in the form of a storm is wrestling with Porusalino.
He looked at the carefree Porusalino, and his heart was filled with an emotion called incomprehension. There were so many colleagues in the navy, and Porusalino was the one he couldn't understand the most. Sakaski's justice was so It’s easy to understand. Kuzan’s confusion was also foreshadowed, but Porusalino was the only one...
Do not understand.
What is ambiguous justice? Can such ambiguity be considered justice?
"I do not understand what you are saying?"
Porusalino became more and more at ease.
The navy's fleet began to retreat, which allowed him not to worry too much about the dragon's attack on the navy fleet. With the power of the Shining Fruit, if he just wandered and dodges, it would be possible to play with the dragon for a few days and nights. Of course, he was not interested. Tangled with dragons.
Delay some time until the navy fleet retreats far enough,
By then this boring and boring battle will come to an end.
"Polusalino, why...why do you want to be a dog for the Celestial Dragons?" The dragon's question was so harsh and merciless.
"Hey, hey, I told you not to curse people casually!"
Porusalino sighed, complaining about the dragon's unreasonableness, "I'm just doing what I should do, the Celestial Dragons, the Revolutionary Army...I don't care, carrying out the orders of the Marshal is important to me. Will suffice."
Long was stunned.
This answer caught him off guard.
But... Thinking about it carefully, when he was still in the Navy, it was rare to see Porusalino discussing his ideals with others, arguing about the future, and treating everyone with an ambiguous attitude... ··
"Porusalino, you guy...forget it, just feel free to do it."
Long took the initiative to slow down his offensive.
The navy's fleet began to retreat. There was no need for him and Porusalino to have to fight for life and death here. It was not yet time to start a decisive battle with the World Government. This time, his spirit was defeated. Even if he was as strong as the navy, he would not be able to fight again. Pull out a stronger army to defeat them.
Especially when the gap between the navy and the Shichibukai were revealed,
Based on his understanding of the World Government and the Navy, the ineffective behavior of the King's Shichibukai will definitely leave an extremely bad impression on the Navy. That will be a disagreement that even the powers of the World Government will find difficult to suppress, and without the King Under the power of the Shichibukai, the navy has tried its best just to suppress the pirates...
That is to say,
The revolutionary army is temporarily safe.
Even if Nicole Robin's life card is still in the hands of the Navy, there is no need to worry about the Navy causing trouble for a while.
However, this trouble must be solved as soon as possible.
Long secretly calculated in his mind, wondering how to deal with the life card in the hands of the navy. To be honest, this job was more troublesome than rescuing Nico Robin. After all, such a big person was easy to find, but once A little life card...
No one knows whose hands it is, this is a secret that even the bears don’t know.
Seeing the dragon starting to release water, Porusalino was happy to save worry and effort. To be honest, he didn't have much confidence in defeating the dragon. There was no point in trembling except to waste time and energy. He also followed the rhythm of the dragon. Slowed down the attack density.
After the navy evacuated to a sufficient distance,
The golden light flashed in the sky,
Porusalino left the battlefield and disappeared into the horizon chasing the retreating navy.
————
The storm became smaller.
The naval fleet retreated along the route it came from. As expected, the storm continued to weaken as the distance extended. The revolutionary army's dragon army did not pursue it. After reaching a certain distance, the revolutionary army stopped. Chasing behavior, watching the navy fleet go away.
"boom!"
Everyone gathered on the flagship again.
Lieutenant General Lakval, who was full of anger, punched the table and splashed tea on the table, "What kind of bad war is this? Being chased away like a dog is simply... a shame!!!"
"My skills are inferior to others, there's nothing to say."
Gion looked unhappy.
This guy Lakval can't speak. What does it mean to be chased away like a dog? If you like being a dog, please don't drag others with you, okay?
"The Shichibukai should never have been called in the first place."
Stoloberg placed the blame on the Shichibukai.
"Dogs can't change from eating shit, and pirates can't change their ways. Expecting them to be effective is the biggest reason why this operation failed. These scum at sea should be sent to the mines to dig stones."
Zefa and Porusalino sit in the upper hand position.
Neither of them spoke.
Sitting like a clay body and wood sculpture, listening to other people's arguments.
By the way, the Shichibukai did not participate in this small internal meeting, including Elus, who was blocked from the meeting. Their performance in the previous battle with the revolutionary army made all the generals completely lose trust in the Shichibukai. There is no first Time and fire destroyed the Shichibukai thanks to the constraints of military law and discipline.
"Now is not the time to hold people accountable. Isn't the problem we face what to do next?" Lieutenant General Dalmecia brought the somewhat deflected topic back to the right track.
Everyone was silent for a while.
Yes,
Their most pressing question now is their next move.
After being ambushed by the revolutionary army and crushed, the morale of the sailors on the ship dropped to the bottom, and the attitude of Wang Shichibukai to watch the excitement was clearly revealed... In this case, should he continue to perform the mission? Or should I think of something else...
No matter what, it's time to make a decision.
Any kind of decision is better than stagnating and arguing in an environment where the four parties are not dependent on each other.
look,
He threw himself at the two big guys who took action.
"I have contacted Warring States and reported all the situations we encountered. What to do next, let's wait for Malinfando's order!" After finishing speaking, Zefa closed his eyes.
Porusalino said nothing.
The lieutenants looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
It seems that... this is the best response plan. If Malinfando cannot come up with a way to deal with those dragons, to be honest, it will be difficult to make any changes by continuing the mission. The revolutionary army that has mastered the air control is not the existing one. Conditions can be countered.
"That Shichibukai..." Lieutenant General Lakval was unwilling to give in.
"Don't cause trouble."
Porusalino looked over and said, "Black Prince...that guy is extremely troublesome. Causing unnecessary trouble at this time will only make the situation worse. One Monkey D. Dragon is already troublesome enough." No, I don’t want to face two big troubles at the same time.”
Lieutenant General Lakval lowered his head with a sullen face.
No matter how much he disliked Wang Xia Shichibukai, he obviously couldn't trouble those guys at this time.
Without the support of a general, Lakval did not feel that he could get any benefits from the Black Prince. Looking for trouble at this time was tantamount to humiliating himself. He did not have the habit of self-abuse.
————
Malinvando.
It was another low-pressure day in the marshal's office.
"Zefa and the others lost."
The Warring States Period was gloomy.
"How could it be? Is it too fast?" Lieutenant General He frowned.
How long has it been since? If nothing else goes wrong, we may not be able to meet the Revolutionary Army at this time. Even if that guy Long is here, but the Navy has dispatched Porusalino and Zefa this time, there should be no second general-level master in the Revolutionary Army. That's right?
"We are falling behind."
Sengoku's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, "The artificial dragon that Sakaski encountered last time... the revolutionary army used these beasts to occupy the sky. Zefa and the others could do nothing but passively be beaten. , Porosalino was entangled by the dragon, and the Black Prince was unable to do anything..."
At this point, he closed his eyes and thought about whether there is any meaning for the continued existence of the Qibukai under the king?
The answer is of course yes.
The stable triangle of the Navy, the Four Emperors, and the King's Shichibukai has been formed. If one corner is removed at this time, the barely maintained peace will collapse in an instant. Therefore, no matter how overt and covert the King's Shichibukai is, as long as there is no blatant flag-raising If you rebel, you can't do anything to these guys.
"Artificial dragon?"
Lieutenant General He didn't pay attention to the matter of His Majesty Qibukai. She knew very well that these garbage could not be discarded casually before they lost their effectiveness. It was a waste of time to discuss this.
On the contrary, it is an artificial dragon.
The last time Sakaski did not really feel the pain of having air supremacy occupied, the navy lacked corresponding countermeasures in this regard. This time, after Porusalino and Zefa suffered a big loss, they finally understood that they were being occupied. How painful it is for the enemy to seize air superiority.
General He looked at a short record in the Warring States handwriting.
This was mentioned by Zefa when he was on the phone with Warring States. He explained the importance of air superiority from his own perspective, which was recorded by Warring States.
As an old friend for many years, Lieutenant General He knew very well that Zefa would never target without aim.
"Hasn't it been found out where the revolutionary army's artificial dragon came from?"
"This will not be achieved in a hurry." Warring States shook his head helplessly, "CP is also taking action, but there is still no result... If the revolutionary army did not create it themselves, then the forces behind it that cooperated with the revolutionary army will definitely It’s extraordinary, and I’m afraid we may not be able to find anything within a year or two.”
"Also, the problem now is not this. How to deal with the revolutionary army's artificial dragon. This is what we need to consider."
There are currently no generals in charge of the Navy Headquarters.
Warring States didn't bother to find a bunch of people to start a meaningless quarrel. He only asked Lieutenant General He to come over for discussion. Garp was excluded. That guy was useless except to harm his senbei.
"It's hard."
"Or put it more clearly, there is no way."
Lieutenant General He bluntly exposed Sengoku's luck mentality.
"You also understand that according to Zefa, the navy's usual fighting method has no power to fight back against the revolutionary army's artificial dragon. If Porusalino could not fly, Zefa's order was timely, and this fleet They may not be able to retreat completely, and allowing them to continue their mission now is tantamount to sending them to death."
"Alas! The artificial dragon... Dr. Vegapunk really causes trouble for people!"
Warring States frowned and tugged at his braided beard, picked up the phone, and dialed Zefa's phone number, "Zefa, the mission is over, you can come back."
Zefa, who was waiting for the order, obviously didn't intend to talk nonsense.
After saying a few words to Warring States, the call ended.
Putting down the microphone in his hand, Sengoku's face became more and more lonely. The operation that he had had great expectations for ended in failure. Not to mention taking the opportunity to severely damage the revolutionary army, even Nico Robin, the son of the devil, could not be brought back. .
A complete failure!
"Warring States, how to solve the problem of artificial dragons?" Lieutenant General He's cold voice reminded Warring States that now was not the time for him to feel disappointed.
If the artificial dragon in the hands of the revolutionary army cannot be solved, or the problem of loss of air supremacy cannot be solved, there will definitely be more similar failures in the future. If it does not want to be so passive and beaten all the time, then the navy needs to make corresponding changes.
The Warring States Marshal closed his eyes and thought for a while.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, "Judging from the existing conditions, there are only two ways. One is to equip the warship with strong enough anti-air firepower so that it will not change when facing enemies flying in the air." He becomes a living target who can only be beaten and will not fight back."
"Also, to seize air supremacy, the revolutionary army has artificial dragon technology, don't we? It doesn't have to be a dragon, as long as it is a weapon that can fly into the sky and fight... it will do!"
"As long as you succeed."
Lieutenant General He did not inquire further.
He is just a staff officer, not the director of the equipment development department.
"However, it will not be easy to convince the world government to allow artificial dragon technology to be used."
"Trouble!"
Warring States sighed repeatedly.
The World Government has very strict regulations on the application of science and technology. Dr. Vegapunk's research inventions are more than just artificial dragon technology. However, many inventions were forcibly sealed by the World Government when they were invented. It is estimated that He may not have the chance to see the light of day in his lifetime.
It is not an easy task to convince world governments to approve the widespread use of artificial dragon technology.
Even the naval marshal of the Warring States Period,
You also need to plan carefully and think about how to increase the success rate as much as possible. If you don't prepare, you will most likely be rejected as before.
"Ahe, help me think about it, how should I say this? Those people in the Holy Land are more stubborn than stones." Warring States looked expectantly at Lieutenant General He.
