Destroying a Kingdom's Army!

"Ah, he's been defeated. That kid really went all out!"

Garp stood on the deck of the warship, rubbing his swollen face as he looked at the distant Red Maple Island and complained.

Upon hearing this, his adjutant Bogard, lowered his hat in exasperation. The current Dragon might not even be able to defeat himself, so how could he possibly beat his superior?

But he chose to close his eyes and pretend he didn't see it.

"Vice Admiral Garp!"

At that moment, a Colonel wearing a coat rushed over, pointed in a direction on the horizon, and shouted, "Reporting, Vice Admiral! The lookout has spotted a large pirate ship approaching from the six o'clock position. The flag belongs to the Flying Pirates!"

"Um?"

Garp raised an eyebrow; he was in a bad mood anyway.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the sea.

Indeed, a warship of a model no less than that of a flagship-class warship slowly approached, its sails adorned with a skull pattern covered in golden hair.

It is the banner of the Flying Pirates, the top power that currently dominates a region of the New World's seas.

"Hmph, a single warship dares to intrude into our waters. It seems our navy needs a lesson these days."

A robust, but not overly tall, green figure, about two and a half meters tall, stood on the bow of the ship, which was as straight and sharp as a spear.

He squinted at the unremarkable, pitiful lone warship anchored in the distance.

This person not only had flowing long green hair, but also wore a loose-fitting green robe made of exquisite fabric, with very beautiful dark green patterns printed on it, which looked like beans upon closer inspection.

"Lord Helandou Bean, shall we fire the cannon?" a pirate asked as he approached.

"No need, just ram them."

'Helandou' looked at the warship with a mocking smile and sneered, "Crush them!"

"Yes!"

The pirate immediately understood what the Grand Governor was about to do.

Sure enough, the opponent immediately activated their Devil Fruit ability.

[Buzz--]

The next moment, the huge warship beneath their feet paused briefly, and then the hull below the deck began to rotate at high speed in a chain-like manner, charging towards the warship like a tank on the sea.

At the same time, the long, pointed steel prow beneath 'Helandou' began to spin like a drill, looking incredibly dangerous, yet it had no effect on him standing there, remaining firmly in place.

"Douhaha!"

The figure of one of the Grand Governor of the famous Flying Pirates, renowned throughout the seas, laughed wildly as the wind and waves crashed against him.

Despair!

"Wail!"

"Then let it sink to the bottom of the sea!"

Inside the G-1 Branch base fortress, Vidal, after chatting with Dr. Vegapunk for over four hours, finally finished explaining his ideas for improving the warship.

In addition to the previously mentioned installation of electric steam paddle wheels to increase speed and navigate in the Calm Belt, questions regarding the fire control system were also raised.

The so-called fire control system, or fire command and control engineering, is a general term for equipment that controls the automatic aiming and firing of firing weapons.

He was always very dissatisfied with the hit rate of the warships' cannons, even though he knew very well that this was not just a problem for the navy; ninety-nine percent of naval artillery fire in the world was unlikely to hit a moving target.

Unless the gunner is a sniper with a built-in lock-on cheat.

So I wondered if the ship had electricity, could we use that electricity for fire control?

The main reason was that Vidal was reminded of the weak artificial intelligence in the Pacifista of the future, which meant that Vegapunk also possessed superhuman abilities in computing.

Fire control systems used on warships don't need such advanced artificial intelligence; they only need to improve the speed and accuracy of aiming and firing.

"That's not it."

Just as Vidal was lost in deep thought because of Vegapunk, he was wandering around the base alone when he saw a familiar figure at the other end of the corridor.

A young man, also wearing a white lab coat, with long, pointed black hair, but sporting a pair of curved ram's horns.

There was no way around it; the other person was about the same height as me, making them very conspicuous even in crowded places.

"Judging from his appearance, it seems he hasn't eaten the Gas-Gas Fruit yet."

Just as Vidal was about to walk over to see if he could get to know her beforehand, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Vidal, an urgent order from headquarters concerns you."

He went back and saw that it was indeed Sakazuki. He took the documents from the other party, glanced at them, and his brows furrowed immediately, his expression becoming serious.

"Did the Roger Pirates destroy the 120,000- Royal Army of the Lancaster Kingdom?"

"Are you sure they're all dead, or just unconscious?"

This document is an order personally signed and issued by the Fleet Admiral Kong, and it also serves as intelligence, outlining the general situation.

The Lancaster Kingdom is a government Affiliated Nation located in the New World and an important Affiliated Nation with a seat at the Reverie.

However, if most of their army is indeed wiped out, they will likely be replaced soon.

Regardless, World Governments must address this issue!

The order was for him to cooperate with the fleets of the G-1 Branch and G-3 Branches, obey Garp's orders, go to the Lancaster Kingdom, and annihilate the Roger Pirates.

Vidal understood the order. If the opponent was indeed the Roger Pirates, then he, as a member of the G-1 Branch, would naturally not stand idly by.

"The situation is urgent, let's talk as we walk."

Sakazuki turned and walked out with a grim face. Vidal followed. As soon as they came out, they clearly noticed the change in the atmosphere inside the base, giving them a sense that war was about to break out.

"The information I received from the base commander is that those Royal Army didn't just faint; they were all killed in action."

"According to news from the Lancaster Kingdom, the reason is simply that a general insulted a member of Roger Pirates!"

Upon hearing this, Vidal fell silent. He carefully recalled Roger's information, and it seemed that such a thing did exist, but he never expected it to happen before his eyes.

He originally thought that Roger Pirates and the future Straw Hat Pirates would be similar, both being adventure crews that wouldn't intentionally kill people. Now it seems that the former is a true pirate crew.

However, we need to see for ourselves to know the truth, because many things cannot be judged solely by appearances or hearsay.

"I'll dedicate my life to cleaning up as much of this lawless marine debris as I can!" Sakazuki roared angrily at the sea.

On the other side.

"What? You want me to lead two branches of the fleet to capture Roger?"

On the beach by Maple Island, Garp plopped down on a green figure. Upon hearing Den Den Mushi's command from the Den Den Sengoku, he excitedly pulled his finger out of his nostril and flicked it onto the pristine white sand.

Behind him was the wreckage of a warship, where the remaining pirates were being led by marines to board the ship under Bogard's watchful eye.

"Alright, alright, this mission is good, it suits my taste. It's been so long, I really miss that guy!"

After saying that, Garp looked down at 'Helandou,' who had fainted with his eyes rolled back, and grinned at the Den Den Mushi.

"Oh, right, I think I captured one of Shiki's henchmen. Bogard said he's a guy with a bounty of 640 million Beli, named something like 'Helandou,' a Paramecia Wheel-Wheel Fruit user who Awakening his powers."

"What did you say?!" The Den Den Mushi in his palm was stunned for a moment, then roared out.

In this situation, have they provoked the 'Golden Lion' again?

The Sengoku was completely devastated.

"What's with the yelling? This brat ran right into me," Garp complained, then looked down again. "Hey, he's dead."
