Army Lieutenant General Bullet, Reporting for Duty!
What is he doing?
Mata, lying on the ground, opened her pink lips in surprise and said, "Why would someone commit suicide for no reason? He didn't seem to be seriously injured!"
Laskey pushed up his Red Eye, observed carefully for a moment, and speculated, "It seems he was bitten on the calf by Kabane, so he chose to commit suicide to avoid threatening his companions."
"If that's the case, then the soldiers in this world are really highly motivated. On our side, let alone the Army, even the navy soldiers wouldn't be able to blow their own hearts without hesitation, would they?"
Hearing Mata's words, Laskey nodded and said, "This also shows how much pressure these Living Dead called Kabane have put on them."
"But what I'm more curious about now is that, judging from their current troop strength and the efficiency with which they clear out the Kabane, they clearly can't eliminate all the Kabane here, and I'm sure there are a large number of Kabane that city as well!"
Mata gazed at the open city gate and agreed, "Indeed, it must have fallen. You can see Huoguang everywhere inside from here."
"So what do we do now?"
"Notify the rear base and have them send troops. Although that city has fallen, there must be a lot of intelligence inside!" Laskey said after a moment's thought. Mata, standing beside him, looked at him questioningly and asked, "What about us? Shouldn't we go in and take a look?"
"We'll follow this armed force. A fallen city is dead, it can't escape, but these people are alive, and keeping an eye on them is much more valuable!"
"Contact the base immediately!"
Seeing that he had made a decision, Mata said no more. She cautiously retreated, and once she was a certain distance away from the top of the hill and sure that she would not be noticed by the people below, she took out Den Den Mushi and whispered the situation to those behind her.
The call ended five minutes later.
"Alright."
Mata crouched down and walked over, lying down next to Laskey again. The latter raised his chin and reminded her, "Look what they're doing?"
The former looked down at the other person with narrowed eyes.
After discovering that the black-clad soldiers had cleared most of the Kabane a few casualties, they began using large pliers-like tools to capture some Kabane who had been broken in limbs but were still alive, and then dragged them toward the black Armored Train.
"They're taking them alive too!"
Laskey nodded and said, "Yes, perhaps their purpose is the same as ours—to study these Kabane."
"But that also means they're leaving soon. Let's hurry and catch up, find a way to board that train, and be careful to stay hidden and not expose ourselves!"
After saying that, Laskey, along with Mata, once again transformed into afterimages and rapidly approached downwards.
Really.
Just as Laskey had expected, after the group of black-clad soldiers captured twenty or thirty Kabane and shoved them into the carriage, they began to retreat in an orderly fashion, taking the muskets from their fallen comrades and the Yellow Canister Device carried on their backs.
As the last Motorized Mobile Squad returned to the train, the armor plates that had been opened automatically closed, and a mournful Rumbling sounded from the front of the train.
Soon, the 'black behemoth' under the Starry Sky roared forward, its speed gradually increasing, but neither 'it' nor the people 'within' it changed.
Neither of them noticed that two dark figures under the moonlight caught up from behind at a faster speed than 'it', and then, just before the train reached its maximum speed, they leaped one after the other to the back of the carriage.
But they landed without making a loud noise; the whole process was so silent amidst the clattering noise.
Mata pressed herself against the metal exterior of the carriage, warily monitoring the sounds coming from the orange-yellow light emanating from the interior, and asked in a low voice, "What do we do next?"
Laskey said expressionlessly, "Find a way to capture someone, put on their clothes, and infiltrate. Since they also use Wano Script, they should be able to understand what they're saying. First, figure out the identities of this group of soldiers."
As he spoke, he took off his glasses, folded them neatly, and put them in his shirt pocket, revealing his sharp, indifferent eyes.
"Judging from their performance in previous battles, although these people are soldiers, they are very weak, not even as good as the marines of the Four Seas Branch. They can only be considered ordinary civilians who have received some military training and carry guns. Only a few of them are relatively agile."
Matt nodded, then suddenly asked a strange question, "That's right, but there's a problem. How do you plan to solve it?"
"What's the problem?"
"I noticed that this group of people are generally under 1.8 meters tall, averaging 1.7 meters, while I am 1.85 meters tall, and you are."
The blonde, sexy woman in the black dress looked Laskey up and down with her beautiful eyes and said, "I remember you're about two meters tall, right?"
"."
Laskey's cold face froze instantly.
He never imagined that one day he would be troubled by his height, but the problem is that he's not considered tall even in his native world!
At the same time.
The Star Gate Base, having received Mata's report, became even more bustling.
The officials in charge of the management quickly relayed the news of the discovery of a large city and armed forces to the Star Gate Base on the mainland, which then reported it to the CIPHER POL headquarters. Finally, CP0 was responsible for contacting the Five Elders.
And finally, naturally, it was the Five Elders who personally reported to Imu.
However, Imu replied that he would leave the exploration and development of the New World entirely to them. Upon receiving this order, the Five Elders immediately decided to send a large Army force in.
Authority Room.
"Should we have Bullet come along?"
Topman Saint Topman Warcury looked at Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro and asked, the latter squinting at the exposed half of the blade of the Shodai Kitetsu in his arms, and replied, "It's something we'll find out sooner or later, let him be."
"That's true. Crocodile went, so there's no reason why Bullet can't go. Maybe he'll listen to me after he knows all this," Marcus Saint Mars smile.
"However, if we want to use Bullet, we need to ask Lord Imu for an order. That bastard won't listen to us."
Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter said with dissatisfaction, "That Crocodile is something else. He's been gone for so long and hasn't sent back a single message. I don't believe he hasn't found anything."
"Let him be, that's Lord Imu's wish too." Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro sheathed his blade, seemingly in no hurry, and said unhurriedly.
"If he eventually returns, the Army will have one more fighting force. Then we'll have to train Crocodile; he's still too weak right now."
"At least we need to make up for his lack of Haki and Physical Arts. We should send him to your CIPHER POL headquarters for training; you're experts in that area."
Actually, the best option would be to send Crocodile to Zephyr Training Camp for a year, but that would mean becoming a Marine, and Zephyr might not be willing to accept that.
"OK."
The five high-ranking officials made the decision, and the order began to be rapidly transmitted from top to bottom, soon reaching Army Headquarters, Randfirth.
Upon receiving the order, two thousand fully armed Army soldiers quickly assembled, forming a regiment.
Not much.
But the Star Gate is only so big, and with so many people, queuing takes too long.
Ten minutes later, the entire group, wearing hard leather gloves, metal arm and leg armor, dressed in black military uniforms, carrying automatic rifles, with a string of grenades and long knives hanging at their waists, rode military motorcycles led by Bullet himself, and charged out of the steel Gates of Justice of headquarters with a tremendous roar.
He was now dressed in a full dark blue suit, black leather boots, and a black Coat of Justice draped over his shoulders.
Army Lieutenant General Douglas Bullet.
Come on!
To be honest, even I, as the author, am a little excited about the content of this book, especially when I typed the final two words, "Respectfully submitting," I felt quite thrilled.
I used to dream of reading a fanfiction that would gather all the combat power, technology, resources, and military strength of the One Piece world and then conquer all other worlds. But I could never find one, or the ones I did find didn't suit my taste, so I thought I'd write one myself!
This morning, I received a notification from editor Liu Xing that my book will be featured on the homepage's "Featured" section on the 24th, and I need to prepare 20,000 words of draft material for a massive update!
Dear readers, do you remember what I said in the first chapter: this book has the potential to be a masterpiece?
It now seems highly likely that this will become a reality. Dear handsome, dashing, and generous readers, could you lend a hand to this book and its author?
Let it fucking be a featured product!!!
