One Piece_ Rampant Volcano

A few days later.

One of the only two End Point islands, Secon Island.

The strange thing is that there is no naval garrison, and even the entire island is deserted.

On the huge volcano in the center of the island.

Everyone in the red-haired pirate group stood on the edge of the crater with solemn expressions.

Everyone can easily sense the bomb buried deep beneath the magma…

The energy contained in it is shocking.

Beckman took a deep breath:

“Is this the strength of the Navy?”

“Even all personnel will be evacuated, if there is really a crazy guy attacking the only two remaining islands.”

“The new world will be burned up by magma…”

This big trouble has to be dealt with now.

The news about the huge magma reservoir buried under the three End Point islands and the ley lines connecting various islands in the new world had been confirmed long after Sakaski spread it.

However, the four emperors suppressed the news with a tacit understanding to prevent people from being shaken.

Not long ago, when Barrett made a fuss about the Red-Haired Pirates, he revealed a piece of news:

“The navy has evacuated from the only two remaining End Point islands.”

“If you want to save the new world, you must protect it.”

“And don’t try to destroy the bombs on the island, otherwise the new world may be directly destroyed…”

Although everyone was confused, they didn’t dare to be careless about this kind of thing, so they turned around and headed to the nearest End Point island.

After arriving here, as Barrett said, all the navy and residents had been evacuated.

An empty island…..

If some crazy guy really comes here and detonates the volcano… the new world will be destroyed directly…

Jesus Bu looked in disbelief:

“Hey, that guy Sakaski is really crazy.”

“This is too strange.”

“Obviously it is an island that the navy needs to protect, but it actually leaves it alone…”

“If an accident happens and the new world is destroyed, the number of people who will die could reach millions. Is he a pirate or are we pirates?”

Beckman looked solemn:

“That’s the scary thing about Sakaski.”

“Although he wears the coat of justice, with that guy’s behavior, he doesn’t care about ordinary people at all.”

“When he announced the truth about End Point Island, I’m afraid he was thinking of this day.”

“The only two End Point islands will not become the navy’s weakness, but will become a handle for him to blackmail us.”

“The navy is stationed here, and if some crazy guy attacks, the navy will be the loser.”

“But if you choose to withdraw your troops and tell us the news, do you think we can let the New World be destroyed, or Kaido, BIGMOM and the others can let the New World be destroyed?”

“This troublesome burden was dumped on us in one fell swoop.”

“Not only that, the bomb buried under the volcanic magma is also controlled by the navy.”

“If the navy is defeated, he will simply detonate the bomb and destroy the new world.”

“This is clearly telling us that only he has the right to lift the table.”

“We were determined from the beginning…”

After listening to Beckman’s analysis, everyone around them felt infinitely cold in their hearts…

Lucky Lu shook his head:

“Then if we lose, wouldn’t we be able to use this place to blackmail Sakaski?”

Beckman sighed slightly:

“Forgot what I just said.”

“Sakaski doesn’t give a shit.”

“From what he said when he declared war, that after defeat, he would drag the new world together to perish, you should understand…”

“Whether the new world is destroyed or not is just an additional condition. The elimination of all pirates is his goal.”

“If the Navy is the victor, it doesn’t matter if we detonate this place. People will only know that the new world was destroyed by pirates, and all sins will be imposed on the pirates.”

“If the navy fails, then this place is detonated and the new world is destroyed, all the same sins will be imposed on the pirates.”

“From beginning to end, he was a ‘hero’ for the world.”

Lucky Lu reacted, a little annoyed:

“Damn it…expose this guy’s hypocrisy.”

But I also don’t have enough confidence…mainly because no one would believe me if I said it.

Do you believe in pirates or do you believe in the new marshal who has been fighting for decades to eliminate pirates?

Shanks looked slightly serious, but he was not discouraged:

“It’s really… I’ve been tricked again.

One way. ”

“But that guy is too conceited. He wants to defeat us just based on these things.”

“That would be too underestimated for us who carry the name of the Four Emperors.”

Everyone was stunned, and Beckman was also a little strange:

“oh?”

“Is there any good way?”

Shanks showed a confident smile:

“No.”

As soon as Beckman slapped his head, I knew…how could I expect this idiot…

He said angrily:

“Then where do you get your confidence?”

Shanks scratched his head and laughed:

“Hahahaha, let’s call those guys to discuss it together.”

“When there are many people, we will always find a way!”

Beckman’s expression softened a little:

“That’s true…”

“After all, it’s a thunder. It might explode at some point. Let’s study it together…”

“I’ll get in touch.”

He stood up and walked out. After everyone was interrupted by Shanks, the atmosphere relaxed.

Shanks also had a faint smile on his lips, but no one knew the heaviness in his heart…

———-

Grand Line, Dieppe Island, Naval Recruiting Office.

The enthusiasm for the world’s great military conscription has begun to slowly subside, and all those who want to join the army have set out.

However, there are still many people who are under the age or who have made up their minds and come here every day to inquire about registration, etc.

“Hey! Look!”

“hiss–”

“Energy person!”

“so high!”

As everyone marveled, it also attracted the attention of the Navy Recruiting Office personnel:

“This is…..”

I saw a tall and handsome man dressed in green walking from a distance. Flowers and grass kept popping up wherever he passed, like a messenger of nature.

“Hey, Mr. Soldier, I want to sign up.”

———-

The East China Sea, the nameless sea.

A naval battle is taking place here.

The two parties you are chasing and I are escaping from are the Arrita Pirates and the naval soldiers of the 117th Marine Branch.

The distance between the two parties is getting closer and closer.

Boom boom——

The shell hit the deck of the pirate ship and almost hit the ship’s pole.

Everyone was shocked and dizzy.

Arrita, who had freckles on her face and was fat, was holding a mace and commanding everyone to fight back. At the same time, she looked back at Kerby, the slave handyman on the ship:

“Kerby!!!”

“What are you waiting for! Get the shells out quickly!”

“Don’t even think about escaping! Otherwise I will kill you first!!”

Since the start of the world conscription, the number of pirates in the four seas has dropped sharply.

On the one hand, it is because of the general trend, and on the other hand, there are countless naval warships, hunting pirates for actual combat, conducting pre-war training, and then entering the new world.

Arrita, who was usually domineering, was having a hard time, so she had the idea of ​​​​escaping to the Grand Line.

However, after hiding here and there, he was discovered and a chase ensued.

Kebi trembled violently:

“Yes Yes!!”

His body was shaking a little, and his face was pale, pushing the shell box over.

As a slave handyman captured by Arrita, he hopes that Arrita will be eliminated by the navy, but at the same time he is afraid that Arrita will attack him before she dies…

Whoosh——

A sharp whistling sound rang in the ears of everyone on board.

With this kind of sound, experienced people can be sure that this shell will definitely hit the center…

Many people were slumped on the ground, but Arrita was holding a mace, swallowed, cheered herself up, jumped up suddenly, and hit the cannonball with the mace.

boom!

Arrita’s jaw cracked, and she felt dizzy. She thought the crisis was over.

But the whistling sound that followed hit him directly on the head, causing him to faint…

Seeing Arrita fainting, many pirates showed signs of despair. They did not have Arrita’s great strength, so they could only bully some ordinary people.

Now that the biggest backer has arrived, the idea of ​​​​escaping secretly is inevitable.

Kebi looked surprised, because this meant that he could escape…

Boom boom boom——

The distance got closer and closer, and more and more shells hit the pirate ship. The pirate ship was damaged by the dense shells, and was gradually overtaken by the navy’s warships…

There is no boarding battle… In order to adapt to the war in the new world, all naval branches have still adjusted their combat methods.

Abandoning the past close combat, the ultimate goal is to use artillery shells to destroy all enemies.

evening.

Only a small part of the Alita pirate ship was above the water, and most of it sank to the bottom.

The piles of supplies on the warship show that the battlefield has been cleaned, and a naval soldier points at the

The commander reported:

“Report to Lieutenant Colonel Norris!”

“The battlefield has been cleaned! There is no one left alive in the Arrita Pirates!”

“Please advise!”

Since Sakaski came to power, all navies have been ordered to leave no one alive.

Lieutenant Colonel Norris, who was older and had a stubble on his face, nodded:

“Collect the team.”

The soldier returned excitedly to announce the order, and there was a trace of sadness in Norris’s eyes.

He knew why the soldiers were excited when they heard the order to close the team, because it meant that they were about to be sent to the Grand Line, or the new world…

Maybe this is a great opportunity to see a wider world…but…many people may not even be able to wait for that day…

late at night.

Norris stood on the high building of the branch, looking at the figures below who were busy loading supplies onto the warship, and remained silent.

Behind him, the commander of the base, Colonel Archie, came over.

He walked next to Norris, handed out a cigarette and asked:

“What’s wrong, Norris?”

“Why do you feel that your faith seems to be a little loosened recently?”

Their belief is naturally Sakaski…

Norris smiled:

“How could it be…don’t slander me.”

He took the cigarette, but the fingers holding the cigarette were trembling slightly.

He noticed something strange about himself and became a little silent:

“This is already the third batch this year…”

Familiar faces were summoned to the battlefields of the new world one by one, and one by one… no news was heard…

Of course Archie understands Norris’s feelings. They all have mediocre talents and were trained and put into the branch after being rescued by Sakaski.

After twenty or thirty years of getting along, they have long since become as close as brothers. However, the other people were summoned and thrown into the new world one after another without any news. How could it not hurt…

Archie took a deep breath:

“The war has just begun and casualties are inevitable. It is too early to grieve now.”

“After all, there is no news, which may be the best news.”

“The final victory must be ours.”

“Believe in Marshal Sakaski.”

After patting Norris, he didn’t know how to comfort him, and he was aroused and turned around to leave.

Norris opened his mouth to say something…but in the end he just nodded silently.

———-

New World, Dakhla Island.

Located in the sphere of influence of Kaido, one of the four emperors, six warships attacked a small island on the edge that had just been captured.

Many soldiers were cleaning the battlefield and counting the number of residents who had left.

In the warship, Zorbach, who had just experienced a life-and-death battle, felt a little panicked because he almost lost his head in the battle just now.

After the battle, I was a little scared and walked to the room unknowingly.

I picked up the pen and paper on the table and started writing slowly. Because my brother who came with me died in the battle, I never thought of what to say…

But after today’s battle, he discovered that if he didn’t report that he was safe… maybe he wouldn’t know when he would die…

Then they will have a hard time waiting…

Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually darkened before I knew it. Several pages were filled with words… After thinking about it, I added at the end:

“Everything is fine, don’t think about it.”

“bach.”

After packing the letter and walking out of the room, he realized that it was already dark:

“It’s been so long…”

Shaking his head, he found the clerk on the ship:

“Dick, please mail the letter for me tomorrow.”

The clerk named Dick took the envelope and smiled:

“Okay, where to send it.”

Bach smiled and said:

“Donghai Branch 117, Brother Archie and Norris are taking over.”

Dick made an OK gesture and said nothing… This situation was too many.

It’s not that I don’t want to call, but the moment the phone is connected… the tears will flow out uncontrollably (Friends who have been in the military must know this feeling. After three months of training for recruits, they will be sent to their families. When I was on the phone…I couldn’t control myself and cried).

Bach put down his worries and smiled:

“Thanks.”

Dick waved his hand:

“You’re welcome, let’s go have a drink.”

What no one knows is that a powerful pirate ship is heading here…

the next day….

late at night.

Led by a powerful animal-type ability user, the pirate ship bypassed the back of the island and sneaked in secretly.

“The damn navy dares to attack my uncle’s territory.”

“I’m really tired of living.”

The person speaking is a guy with the body of a lion, so be careful.

See, I activated the fruit ability before logging onto the island, just in case.

But after some investigation, I found that the highest rank was only the rank of major general, so I became bold.

Although he is not very prominent under Kaido, and the territory under his jurisdiction is not large.

But he has been in the new world for many years, and he is still much stronger than these rear admirals who come from nowhere.

Licking the long fangs, he showed a cruel smile.

boom–

On a warship, flames shot into the sky.

Under the leadership of the pirates with the body of a lion, a warship sank in the sea in just a few moments.

“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!”

There was the sound of dense footsteps and the sound of gunshots and shells.

Several major generals leading the team rushed out.

“Damn…this guy came out of nowhere…”

“Have you reported to the headquarters?”

“I’ve reported it, but I’m afraid it won’t be until tomorrow morning when support arrives.”

“It’s too late.”

“Let’s stop it first, Karami! Go and take out that thing!”

“good!”

Swish–

Several major generals separated and rushed towards the powerful pirate. The major general named Karami ran to take out the thing…

The main ship of each fleet stores something made of a special container, glowing purple… Explosive Rock.

This is a special container made by the Navy’s scientific research team. It requires a person’s fingerprint entered into the database to open it, or a powerful domineering attack to break the explosion and prevent accidental damage.

Karami ran to the bottom of the main ship, found the carefully stored container, and put his index finger on it.

The unique solid cylinder slowly separated, revealing the explosive rock contained in the container, and at the same time a mechanical voice sounded:

“Thank you for your sacrifice for justice…”

Before the mechanical voice finished speaking, Karami grabbed the handle, pulled it out, and rushed out.

The container in this layer is not as hard as the outer layer prevents it, and it can easily explode…

Just rushed to the hatch.

boom! ! !

The broken bodies of the previous major generals and some soldiers were smashed in, and Karami was forced to protect the explosive rock and retreat…

But an afterimage flashed past.

Stab——

Karami’s arm holding the explosive rock was torn off, his chest was dented, and he smashed into the wall and slid down.

A beast’s paw grabbed the explosive rock:

“oh?”

“Dynamite Rock…it’s really dangerous…”

The pirate with the body of a lion has a gloomy expression. Since the war started, the pirates have suffered a lot from this kind of thing… It is simply shameless to self-destruct if they can’t defeat it! ! !

He gently put the explosive rock down and walked in front of Karami with a cold tone:

“You navy guys are really disgusting…”

“It seems that we just solved it too quickly. Cruelly torturing you to death is the best way.”

“But it’s not too late…”

He stretched out his foot and stepped directly on Karami’s knee.

Click! ! !

Just crush it.

Karami’s eyes widened in anger, his teeth clenched tightly, and he remained silent.

The pirate with the body of a lion and beast flashed a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth, and grabbed Karami’s remaining arm…

It was crushed bit by bit, and the roaring sound echoed in the cabin…

Until the last bone in Karami’s arm is crushed…

Stab——

The arm was ripped off and thrown out.

The huge animal palm grabbed Kalami’s throat, preparing to slowly crush it, but Kalami vomited blood and had a vague meaning, and laughed strangely.

His whole body trembled when he laughed, and he kept coughing up blood:

“Cough…cough…”

The body struggled violently several times and died completely…

The pirate with the body of a lion shrank his pupils sharply, as if he had discovered something, and slowly turned his head… When the hell…

He was looking at the lion-beast pirates who were killing him, but he didn’t notice…

Among the navy that was smashed in.

Bach, who had a big hole in his chest, didn’t die for some reason. Instead, he woke up and pressed his palms on the explosive rock container on the ground…

He also showed a smile…

Put some force in your hand.

Click——

Purple liquid flowed out, and Bach slowly lost his life…

The meaning kept disappearing, and a revolving door of life suddenly flashed through my mind, from the mountain village where I was a child, my kind parents, to being killed by pirates and cholera… being saved by Sakaski…

It took nearly twenty years to join the army, train, and be stationed in the East China Sea… until the war started, and followed the brothers into the new world to fight.

…..until now…

Although this life is miserable, he is already extremely lucky… Bach thought this, and the corners of his mouth turned up even higher…

Something important suddenly occurred to me:

“Has the letter… been sent?”

boom–

In the dark night, it seems as if a sun has risen…
