West Blue and North Blue! Abel Takes Action
As the world begins to stir, somewhere in the sky of the New World...
Two enormous islands flew side by side.
One island is a giant steel ship shrouded in white clouds.
The other island, however, is a real island made of rocks and mud, with even lush trees growing on it.
Meanwhile, on this muddy island, a fierce battle is underway.
"Hehehe! Come on, you bastard!!"
The majestic and ferocious dragon-man laughed loudly, brandishing an iron rod crackling with black Inazuma, and repeatedly smashing it at the enemy before him.
"Kundali Longsheng Army!"
In that instant, the iron rod transformed into a storm, unstoppable and capable of destroying everything in its path!
His opponent was Bullet, whose two fists had transformed into massive clumps of mercury, his entire body was covered in a dark blue aura of Haki, and his arms were crackling with black Inazuma of Haki.
"Limit Cannon Frontline!!"
His wildly thrown fist was so fast that it created a series of afterimages, making it almost impossible to see with the naked eye.
The iron bar and the heavy fist collided repeatedly, creating thunderous sounds that echoed continuously.
The earth trembled, rocks were thrown into the air, and trees were broken.
The two evenly matched opponents continued to attack each other, with the iron bar repeatedly slamming into Bullet's body and heavy punches pounding into Kaido's face time and time again.
"Those two guys,"
Not far away, the Golden Lion, lounging leisurely in a deck chair and smoking a cigar, couldn't help but chuckle, "Their fighting styles are truly identical."
"Both of them are masters of Haki and physical skills."
Red nodded in approval, adding, "And they all possess extraordinary physiques; even in a confrontation of this scale, their bodies showed absolutely no signs of fatigue."
"Kaido is one thing, but how come Bullet's body is so tough?"
Charlotte Linlin, who was watching the battle while eating dessert, asked with a question, "And his injuries are healing, right? Isn't he a Mercury- Devil Fruit User?"
"Well,"
Roa smiled casually, "He's also had over twenty years of experience to prepare for this."
Charlotte Linlin rolled her eyes.
"But,"
Katakuri carefully observed the two monsters locked in a fierce battle. "Is Bullet stronger than Kaido?"
Kaido is a born monster, and he also possesses the power of the top-tier Mythical Zoan, the Azure Dragon Fruit.
However, at this moment, in the process of exchanging blows with the Logia Bullet, it did not gain any advantage and was even slowly retreating.
If this situation occurs when both sides have roughly the same level of Haki, it can only mean that Bullet's physical strength is even greater than Kaido's, who possesses Mythical Zoan!
Is this reasonable?
"I already said it's because of sedimentation."
Roa chuckled softly.
"That brat Bullet has truly grown into a monster."
The Golden Lion offered a sincere compliment.
Kaido was helpless against him, Golden Lion thought to himself that he should be the same.
Then he turned to look at Abel was standing quietly behind Roa.
Are you like him too?
Back then, Abel and Bullet were considered the two most outstanding talents under Roa's command, and their strength was always evenly matched.
This guy's aura is ridiculously strong. Is he, like Bullet, so powerful that even he himself is somewhat alarmed?
Abel's expression remained unchanged; he simply said, "I'm a little worse than him."
In the twenty-five years since Boss left, he, like Bullet, has never stopped training.
However, after Bullet truly mastered Conqueror's Haki and became increasingly proficient at it, a slight gap quietly widened in their strength.
However, the difference is only a small margin.
Because--
Abel gripped the First Generation Onitetsu at his waist.
Although the lack of Conqueror's Haki made progress difficult, with the guidance of the Boss from back then and the assistance of Judge, he still managed to complete it over the past twenty-five years!
"Almost there?"
The Golden Lion gave Abel a deep look.
"Fire Dragon Great Torch!"
"Ultimate Heavy Cannon!"
Over there, the two monsters were already locked in a fierce battle.
A colossal Flame Dragon stretched across the sky.
Mercury Giant size was in no way inferior, stood on the earth.
Flame Dragon, intent on melting everything, swooped down.
Mercury Heavy Punch of crushing everything, slammed upwards.
The two enormous creatures collided heavily.
The violent wind instantly destroyed all the clouds in the higher sky.
Thick, Haki Inazuma shot across the sky, forming a massive, jet-black spiderweb.
Then.
The Flame Dragon was slowly retreating.
The Golden Lion twitched the corner of his mouth.
From this perspective, Kaido a bit inferior to Bullet.
"The Whitebeard Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates have both left, so the New World is pretty much cleaned up."
Roa took a leisurely breath. The black mist in the air thickened even more; it had indeed instilled fear in the world.
"Then let's begin our conquest of the North Blue and West Blue, and while we're at it, let's also find out where that Straw Hat guy is. Also, I'm really looking forward to seeing how the World Government will respond."
"Hahahaha!"
Golden Lion burst into laughter, "In terms of high-end combat power, the World Government is certainly no less capable than us, but they would never have imagined that you, kid, actually have such a legion under your command!"
"It's going to be very interesting!"
West Blue.
In a certain part of the sky.
The massive steel ship cuts through the air and sails forward.
"Haha! This is really troublesome, Dad!"
Bege was on the phone, talking to someone, "Your intelligence came just in time!"
"It's nothing, I'm just serving the Boss!"
A somewhat aged but still robust voice came from the other end of the phone, "Bege, you need to be careful when you're on your mission. We have partners in every Affiliated Nation."
"Don't worry, Dad, energy is limited, and we can't fly too far either."
Bege chuckled and said, "And although we're here to cause trouble, our targets are only the Marine Base near the Calm Belt and the royal families of the nearby Affiliated Nation. We have no interest in anyone else."
"Hehe, Boss is kind-hearted. He always says that population is the world's most valuable resource."
"Haha! That's good! Our people will fully cooperate with you! Son, go for it, don't let the Boss down!"
"Okay! Dad, take care of yourself too!"
Bege hung up the phone.
The smile lingered on his face, causing Moria, who had been somewhat sullen these past few days, to chuckle as well.
Noticing his smile, Bege said seriously, "Family is different."
Moria didn't answer, but his smile faded, and he said in a deep voice, "Then, notify the other ships. It's time to begin."
"Alright,"
Bege shrugged. "You decide."
In a certain sea area of North Blue.
A small island stands on the sea in this area. This is the Marine Branch 793, a small, unknown Four Seas with virtually no reputation on the high seas.
The base is commanded by a Marine Branch colonel. According to the system that the rank of the Four Seas is three ranks lower than that of the headquarters, this branch colonel is actually equivalent to a captain of the headquarters.
So, when this branch captain, who was completely insignificant in the entire naval system, looked at the large ship slowly descending in the sky, he was completely bewildered.
Why are you here?
Why would they target such a small branch?
Boom!
The big ship fired its cannons.
In the sky, on the deck of that large ship.
Hanafusa looked down at the Marine Base, completely engulfed in flames from the explosion, a wide smile playing on his lips.
"What astonishing firepower!"
"But Dad, wouldn't that mean we wouldn't have a chance to play at all?"
Behind him, his youngest son, a boy wearing a hat and a mask that covered the lower half of his face like his sister, Page One somewhat unhappy. "I still want to have some fun."
"Don't be stubborn, Xiao Pei."
Hanafusa turned around and admonished, "Lord Roa appointed me as the commander-in-chief of the North Blue forces, so I must not let him down!"
"What we need to do now is spread chaos and fear across this sea!"
"All right."
Page One, who is the same age as Roa, lowered his head listlessly.
"But,"
Hanafusa stroked his chin. "Lord Roa's intelligence capabilities are truly astounding. Is the entire North Blue under his surveillance?"
Never mind.
These things are not important now; what's important now is to weaken the World Government's control over this area.
Specifically, this means destroying all Marine Base and eliminating the royal families of the Affiliated Nation.
It's very simple.
Meanwhile.
Marine Headquarters, Fleet Admiral's Office.
"All Marine Base in the New World have been completely destroyed."
Fleet Admiral Sengoku spoke with a grave expression, "Besides Dressrosa, the royal families of all the Affiliated Nation have also been slaughtered!"
Sitting on the sofas around the desk were the Three Admirals of the Marine Headquarters: the Garp the Hero, the chief instructor Zephyr, the chief strategist Tsuru, and the Admiral candidates Gion and Chaton.
Everyone's expression was solemn; at this point, differences of justice were no longer a concern.
After all, even justice itself is now in a huge crisis.
"Almost none of the naval soldiers stationed in the various Affiliated Nation survived; the entire G-6 base, which failed to evacuate in time, was also wiped out."
Sengoku's fists were clenched so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands bulged. "Their movements are much faster than we imagined! And they have new weapons!"
"According to witnesses, those were massive steel ships capable of flying through the sky, possessing not only firepower capable of easily destroying a large base, but more importantly, extraordinary maneuverability!"
"May I go there?"
"Kizaru Borsalino," he said slowly.
"No!"
Zephyr said decisively, "Those ships are secondary; the key issue lies with those hidden monsters!"
"If we disperse our forces now, they might attack the Marine Headquarters again, just like they did back then!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly.
No one wants to relive the humiliation of more than twenty years ago.
It was at this moment that the office door was being pounded on frantically.
Sengoku's expression changed slightly again.
Another incident!
"Come in!"
He quickly shouted.
The office door was pushed open, and a terrified messenger rushed in.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku! Something terrible has happened! The West Blue and the North Blue have both been attacked! Pirate ships have appeared in those two seas! There are a lot of them!"
"Six Marine Branch have already been destroyed, and the royal families of four Affiliated Nation have been massacred!"
"What!!"
Sengoku immediately stood up to take a picture, large beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
"So impatient?"
Vice Admiral Tsuru's expression was equally grim.
Although the pirates had already announced in the newspapers that they were going to attack the North Blue and the West Blue, the Navy did not expect them to arrive so quickly!
How many ships do they actually have?
The Aokiji was practically gritting its teeth.
Simultaneously, multiple advances are being made in both sea areas!
A ship with that kind of firepower and maneuverability is enough to cause a lot of headaches!
"We must take action, Sengoku!"
Zephyr said seriously.
Sengoku nodded emphatically.
The navy can abandon the New World and use that sea area as a battlefield, since there are hardly any remaining Affiliated Nation there anyway.
However, the West Blue and the North Blue are not suitable.
Those two sea areas are one of the World Government's core territories, and they absolutely cannot be lost!
"Have the government immediately notify the royal families of all Affiliated Nation in those two sea areas! Invite them to take emergency refuge! The Marine Branch will cooperate with them!"
"The Sengoku also ordered, 'Each branch should temporarily abandon its base! Break up into smaller units! Before reinforcements arrive, avoid any further casualties!'"
He paused, then added, "Finally, let the Vice Admiral pass."
To deal with the monsters that could attack at any time, the Marine Headquarters' true top combat power must not be easily dispersed.
The crushing defeat more than 20 years ago was a bloody lesson.
Therefore, only Vice Admiral could be deployed.
Those monsters wouldn't spread their forces out so widely, so there probably aren't any particularly formidable creatures on the ships sent to attack the West Blue and North Blue, right?
There shouldn't be any problems!
Thus, at the Marine Headquarters port, one after another, massive warships set sail, their destination the West Blue and the North Blue!
The West Blue and the North Blue were now in complete chaos.
The pirates acted with impunity, and the countries where royal families were massacred were in an uproar. With the help of major newspapers, the news spread throughout the world in an instant.
"The king and prince have been killed! Where is the navy?!"
"Navy? The naval bases have all been bombed into ruins!"
"Madmen! A bunch of madmen! What are they trying to do!"
"Looking at it another way, they only destroyed all the Marine Base and massacred all the royals; ordinary people weren't affected at all!"
"That's the scariest thing! They're not here for mere destruction! They've probably come to conquer!"
Not only the West Blue and the North Blue, but other seas around the world were also in an uproar at this time.
"After the New World, they truly launched an attack on the West Blue and the North Blue!"
"A madman! The Calamity Roa, just what kind of madman is that?! He's only just returned, and he's already plunged the whole world into chaos!"
"I told you! What do you kids know! That man is a real catastrophe!"
"The Navy? What is the Navy waiting for! Are they just going to let those monsters run rampant?"
"Hahaha! What an amazing guy! He can actually be that crazy!"
"I'm going to find them! Hahaha! I'll join their feast!"
Fear, anger, hatred, excitement, longing—a whole host of emotions were expressed.
In the West Blue.
An island.
Straw Hat Shanks looked up at the sky.
Although he couldn't see it, his Observation Haki allowed him to sense that something was indeed flying rapidly across the very high sky.
"They came really fast!"
Shanks shook his head helplessly. "I'm starting to regret it. How about we go to the Paradise first?"
I knew it!
Buggy shouted, "The West Blue isn't safe either!"
Shanks did not respond to his good friend's words.
He simply stared fixedly at the sky.
Roa, what exactly do you want to do?
Do you really want to seize the West Blue and the North Blue?
Imu will fight you to the death.
Now is not the time for a decisive battle!
In a certain part of the sky of the New World, a new natural disaster floats there.
Roa is on the phone with someone.
"So,"
"Did the Navy send ten Vice Admiral to the West Blue and the North Blue respectively?" Roa Ya said casually.
"Yes, Boss! And twenty more large warships, twice the size of the Buster Call!"
Morgans chuckled on the other end of the phone, "They've all set off, splitting into two groups, heading to the North Blue and the West Blue respectively from Marine Headquarters!"
"Is it possible to investigate their flight path?"
Roa asked with great interest.
"They're already investigating; it shouldn't be too difficult."
Morgans still smiled, "After all, there are too many people; it's impossible to erase all the information."
"Very good."
"Oh, right, Boss, there's one more thing. Fisher Tiger seems to be looking for you everywhere."
"Fisher Tiger? It seems Fish-Man Island has something to say."
After ending the call, Roa thought for a moment, "Sending them back to deal with those marines seems too troublesome. Energy is limited and can't be wasted. In that case, Enel, go take a trip."
Crack!
A bolt of lightning instantly appeared in front of Roa.
Enel, in his lightning form, bowed slightly to Roa. "Yes, Boss."
"Um."
Roa stroked his chin. "Who should go to the other side?"
"Boss, I'll go."
Behind Roa, Abel spoke calmly.
"Oh? Abel, are you going to go yourself?"
Roa chuckled and nodded. "Then let's go. It's good to get some exercise."
