Chapter 313 Pre-war preparations
The navy knew that Yongen was coming from the right way, so on the fourth day, it entered a state of full combat readiness.
There is still one day left before Yongen arrives at the Navy Headquarters.
No one dared to stop him along the way, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t check on the situation of the people on Yongen’s ship.
A bearded rear admiral, this person is Rear Admiral Joseph.
He was using the Fruit of Insight to observe the people on Yongen's ship from thousands of meters away, as if he was seeing incredible people.
"Why was he on that ship?!"
"Major General Joseph, what did you find?"
"How many people are there in the other party?"
A middle-aged man wearing a striped suit, a mustache on his face, and a small patch of black hair on his head saw Sisef's expression and asked.
Joseph came back to his senses and his face became serious.
"Lieutenant General Mole, their number is very similar to General Sakaski's prediction. There are only five people in total."
"but……"
When Joseph said this, he hesitated to speak.
"But what?"
The mole saw Joseph suddenly stopping and urged him quickly.
"But I discovered that Colonel Smoker, who has been missing for many days, is on Yone's ship."
Joseph gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Smorg?!"
Mole's eyes shrank when he heard this.
Although Smoker was only a colonel, many insiders knew about it.
It's not Smoker, it's just a colonel-level strength.
It's that Smoker didn't want to get involved in the troubled waters within the Navy Headquarters, but Sengoku didn't want to waste his talents.
Therefore, Smoker was assigned to Rogge Town, which is of great significance to pirates.
This is the place where Roger, the Pirate King died.
Every day, countless pirates would flock here to try to get a look at the execution platform in the main square of Rogge Town.
It can be said that without certain strength and reputation, Smoker would not have been allowed to guard this entrance before the Warring States Period.
Moreover, Smoker, a former student of Teacher Zefa, has justice in his heart. I believe no one will doubt it.
And this Smoker, whose justice no one doubts, is now standing on the same side as Yongen, a heinous person.
Does this mean Smoker also betrayed.
Mole really wanted to go find Smoker now and ask for details, but he knew Yongen was on that ship.
Even if Sengoku and the naval hero Lieutenant General Garp took action together, they could not stop him for even a minute and could only let him walk away.
If he went up without authorization, it would be an act that would lead to death.
So Mole took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Hurry up and report this information to the Navy Headquarters."
As a person who was favored by the Warring States Period, Smoker's potential is absolutely terrifying.
The lower limit of the natural devil fruit is that if you don't have strong body skills and armament, you will have no power to fight back against the natural devil fruit.
As for the upper limit of natural devil fruit ability users, there are already several representatives, and they are the three top combat forces of the navy.
It can be said that as long as Smoker wants to and is given a certain amount of time, no one doubts that he can become a general.
This is why many people inside don't offend Smoker too much.
However, for such a potential stock to betray the navy at the same time as Yone, a monster who already has the fighting power of the Four Emperors, this is an unbearable loss.
This news was sent back to the Navy Headquarters, but not many people knew about it.
Only a few senior executives got the news.
Sakaski sat in the office with a gloomy expression.
He knew that the cause of this matter was probably more serious than he imagined.
Otherwise, even if Smoker had a good relationship with Yone before, he would not be able to quit the navy easily.
"General Sakaski, what should we do next?"
A soldier stood in front of Sakaski's desk, and he asked seriously.
"..."
Sakaski knew that after Smoker arrived tomorrow, this matter would not be concealed.
No matter what reason Smoker had for siding with Yongen, if he was on that side, then he was the enemy.
Sakaski paused and said.
"Notify the entire army that Smoker has betrayed the navy and revoked his military rank."
"Tell several other people participating in the war that the plan may change and let them be mentally prepared."
Sakaski had paid attention to Yongen, and naturally Smoker, who was related to Yongen, had also been observing him for a while.
Smoker came to the Navy Headquarters and successfully mastered the Haki of Wisdom Color and Armed Color Haki. He was also very clear about it.
Akainu is one of the representative figures of natural devil fruit ability users.
It is clear that when a user with natural devil fruit ability masters these two types of domineering power, it will not be something that ordinary lieutenant generals can handle.
Therefore, Smoker needs to be given some attention.
Their original plan was for at least two people to join forces to besiege Yongen, with Garp raiding the formation for them.
And the one who is separated is the one who should deal with Yongen.
Sakaski knew that Yongen only had five people here.
Knowing that Yongen should also understand that in this kind of top-notch battle, bringing under-strength subordinates will only drag him down.
But they still brought four people, so all those Yongen brought here were all people who believed in their strength.
So depending on the situation, the originally discussed plan of at least three people besieging Yongen may not develop so smoothly.
"yes!"
The soldier nodded and left quickly.
And Garp is at the Navy Headquarters, looking for Sengoku.
When he passed by a closed door, he felt an extremely cold breeze blowing from the crack in the door.
Garp immediately shuddered and stopped.
Out of curiosity, Garp opened the door and walked in.
After entering, they saw a shooting range that was more than a thousand meters long. At this time, the entire stone platform, even the ceiling tens of meters high, were covered with ice crystals, turning it into an astonishing scene of ice and snow.
Garp showed a look of understanding.
Ao Pheasant had gone to sea with him before, and he knew that Ao Pheasant had not done this kind of pre-war warm-up exercise for a long time since he became a general.
But what we have to face next is the monster Yongen.
Aoki's pre-war warm-up seemed to Garp to be quite normal.
The blue pheasant's whole body turned into bursts of crystal clear ice crystals.
He didn't even notice Garp's arrival.
Concentrate on controlling the precision of freezing diffusion.
Some places are only covered with thin ice crystals, while other places are directly covered with a layer of ice crystals several meters thick.
Qing Pheasant also figured out that tomorrow's battle is extremely important to him.
Therefore, this kind of pre-war preparation, which had not been done for many years, was picked up again by Qing Pheasant.
To be honest, if it weren't for his position, Qingzhi would not want to be an enemy of Yongen.
On the one hand, he knew Yongen's reason for declaring war on the World Government.
On the other hand, Yongen has created all kinds of terrifying achievements at the age of nineteen, and he is really too evil.
It is unwise to make an enemy of this kind, but Qingji knows that if Yongen is let go this time, he will face an increasingly terrifying Yongen.
But even if you don’t count the grudges that were made before.
As a naval admiral, Aokiji must keep Yongen from his position.
And Qing Pheasant is not a person who is afraid of trouble. Since Yong En said that the next time they meet, he will be miserable.
