Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding……

The blade collided with the gun body, making a series of crisp sounds.

Luo Wen and that CP0, the former backed up, the latter moved forward, and the figures of the two quickly crossed the snow field, leaving a deep gully on the ground.

CP0 is getting more and more excited.

For this mission, the World Government dispatched a total of three CP0 and twenty CP9 special combatants.

There are not many people, but everyone involved in the operation is the elite of the CP organization.

Such a lineup is even enough to complete an assassination against the head of a certain country under the premise of a secret operation!

So the purpose of their operation this time is really to assassinate Ryan Rowan?

of course not.

The Draconians may be stupid, but CP0 is well aware of the weight of the Navy's investigation report.

[Golden Dawn] Ryan Rowan is no less threatening than [Whitebeard] Edward Newgate!

what does that mean?

It means that once Ryan Rowan goes completely crazy and starts to run amok at sea, then in order to bear his terrible revenge, the world government will definitely pay an extremely painful price!

In order to maintain the stable rule of the world government, this is the last thing the world government wants to see.

So they didn't intend to "kill" Rowan at all.

And this mission has only one simple purpose.

...No, there are two to be precise.

The first one - mutual deterrence.

To deal with Rowan's level of combat power, the world government has two common plans.

Reach out to deter each other, and then maintain a fragile peaceful coexistence.

And, concentrate a very large number of troops, at all costs, to wipe out its "existence" in the world!

These two scenarios are not two "choices", but are in effect at the same time, either first or later, it is possible.

Two people are good examples.

【Whitebeard】Edward Newgate, this terrifying character who has been famous in the sea since the last era, with his own amazing combat power, and the whitebeard pirates with countless masters under his command, made the world government know his intentions Existence, and dare not do it easily.

But in contrast, the Whitebeard Pirates do not have enough strength and ideas to completely tear themselves apart from the World Government.

Ever since, the two sides have reached a delicate balance in their respective bottom line stages.

I am not against you, and you will not come to interfere with my life.

Maintain the status quo - the best.

This is the first scenario in play.

As for the second plan.

Once upon a time, there was a man nicknamed [Devil's Descendant] named Douglas Barrett.

This man was once a crew member of Roger, the One Piece, and later broke away from Roger and started his own business.

After Roger's death, Barrett suddenly went mad. He lost all restraints and goals, and began to run wild on the sea.

Such people are the most troublesome for the world government.

Unrestrained, without any concerns, all things and existence are meaningless.

Therefore, Barrett cannot be "stopped".

Ever since, the world government paid a huge price, cooperated with one of the most terrifying weapons of the navy—the Demon Slaughter Order, and finally arrested Douglas Barrett, imprisoned him at the bottom of Advance City, and almost completely wiped him out Traces of existence at sea.

In this way, Douglas Barrett is "dead".

This is the second plan, and it obviously does not apply to the current Ryan Rowan.

After all, according to Crane's report, Rowan cared a lot about his home country, Alabasta, and he was definitely not a war lunatic like Barrett, and he was even quite politically minded.

Such a person, in a certain sense, is actually easier to get along with.

Ultimately, the World Government decided to show Ryan Rowan some degree of force in order to facilitate a "mutual deterrence" situation.

It is precisely because of this that CP0 chose to welcome Luo Wen himself in an open and honest manner.

No other people involved or anything sneaky.

It is good for everyone to show each other's strength and maintain the status quo. They believe that Luo Wen can also see this clearly.

As for how the world government will display its "force"?

This is the second purpose of their mission.

Use actual combat to test the latest weapon made by Vegapunk, the top scientist of the Navy!

Killing two birds with one stone is really good.

...

It was originally like this.

But now, the CP0 who is fighting against Luo Wen has a subtle change in his heart at this moment.

Because he found out that he had fought back and forth with Ryan Rowan, whom his superiors must pay attention to, and even forced him to back again and again!

Have the opportunity……

Definitely a chance to win!

The eyes of the CP0 behind the mask were shining with excitement.

If he could defeat Ryan Rowan here, or even arrest him, that would definitely be a great achievement!

Work hard, you can win!

CP0 roared, and the speed of swinging the two knives increased again.

His fellow CP0, who was watching the battle from a distance, had noticed something strange and wanted to stop it, but he couldn't hear it at all.

"Damn it, that impulsive guy shouldn't have been sent!"

The stable companion gritted his teeth, and asked the third CP0 on the walkie-talkie: "Has the prototype machine been fully charged?"

"It will take a while!"

"quick!"

The companion looked at the battlefield between the two. Although his own side had a huge advantage visible to the naked eye, the lingering sense of weirdness always lingered in his heart.

"Something's wrong..."

...

In the distance, next to the dense forest.

The gravel soldiers that Rowan condensed were watching the battle of "myself" with great interest together with Hiruluk and Kureha.

When that CP0 swung a beautiful knife, the gravel soldier raised his sign and couldn't help but marvel.

"Wow!"

The grit on the sign condensed into a few words: "Well played!"

Seeing this situation, Hiruluk and Kureha wanted to politely agree, but they couldn't say anything.

After all, they had never seen—or even heard of—one like this.

While engaging in such a fierce battle, he can also concentrate on gathering gravel soldiers, and through the domineering induction, he can communicate with other people almost without obstacles except for dialogue!

But Hiruluk and Kureha couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Anyway, it's good that this Lane Rowan isn't a kill-as-you-go tyrant!

Now it only needs to wait for this symbolic battle to end, and the Drum Kingdom will regain its peace, and even have an additional fixed route to Alabasta.

This is perfect for the residents of the Drum Kingdom.

However, the "calm" expected by Hiruluk and Kureha did not come.

In the distance at the foot of the mountain, there was a thunderous rumble.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but froze there.

As the residents of Winter Island, they naturally couldn't understand what the muffled noise meant——

avalanche.

An extremely violent super huge avalanche!

The question is, why do avalanches occur in such terrain?

Had someone detonated explosives above the foothills? !

The two doctors couldn't understand it at all.

The truth should be the same, because only one person in this sea can explain the principle clearly.

Vegapunk once explained the new weapon he designed to the upper echelon:

Through the compression of special equipment, the power of the natural devil fruit is concentrated in it, and then burst out when needed.

A prototype machine can only use one disposable ammunition, and a single-use ammunition is equivalent to a full-strength attack by a natural devil fruit ability user!

However, the production of ammunition requires the nature-type devil fruit ability user to fully obey the command and recharge the ammunition, so it is necessary to find a completely voluntary nature-type ability user.

After all, it is a new weapon developed and produced in secret. The people on the navy side cannot move, and the world government can only secretly recruit it in the underground world.

Fortunately, they found a volunteer and completed the production of the only ammunition without knowing the function of the machine.

What surprised the World Government even more was that this volunteer's ability was relatively "stable", not as violent as lava, and not as difficult to capture as lasers, which was very suitable for the initial experiment of the prototype.

Its name is - natural system, snow snow fruit.
