Chapter 452 Demon-Slaying Order
The efficiency of the Holy Land was extremely fast. The secret order for Xihai O'Hara to activate the Demon Killing Order was sent directly to Marinford in the early morning of the next day! ~
Spandine, the leader of CP9, holds a golden Den Den Mushi and is responsible for issuing the order to kill demons.
The Navy Headquarters dispatched a fleet to West Sea O'Hara to execute the demon-killing order.
We must wipe out O'Hara's 'evil elements' in one fell swoop, leaving no one alive!
In Marshal Marinford's office——
All high-ranking navy officers above the rank of vice admiral gathered together. The Demon-Slaying Order was a major event in any era. Moreover, it was the first Demon-Slaying Order issued by the Holy Land shortly after the opening of the Great Rise Era, which made it even more significant.
Above the first one was a tall man wearing a cloak of justice—
He has a black braided mustache, a round afro, funny frog glasses, and a calm and solemn face. Words like "intimidating without even getting angry" are exactly what we use to describe him.
The current Admiral of the Navy, Buddha's Warring States, cleared his throat and began the high-level meeting of the Navy regarding the Demon Slayer Order:
"I just received news that the Holy Land has issued an order to execute the Demon Slayer Order against Xihai O'Hara!"
Zhan Guo spoke straight to the point. In an instant, there was a commotion in the office, and the lieutenant generals from various headquarters were whispering to each other and discussing.
It's not that the naval generals present lacked determination, it's just that the Demon Slaying Order has not happened for too long, so long ago that some newly promoted lieutenant generals have never even seen the Demon Slaying Order, and some older lieutenant generals even recalled the Rocks era, when they had indeed seen the Demon Slaying Order with their own eyes.
Zhan Guo saw the uproar below and did not stop it. He waited until the discussion died down before continuing:
"According to the specifications, the Demon Slayer Order requires five or more lieutenant generals to lead the fleet to execute it."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall stared at Zhan Guo intently, with different looks, some dodging, some curious, and some even eager to try.
Zhan Guo took in everyone's expressions, then ignored the different looks from the senior navy officers and said to himself:
"However, the Holy Land has already nominated three lieutenant generals for this demon-killing order: Sakaski, Borsalino, and Kuzan."
Zhan Guo called out three names one after another, and the huge desk suddenly fell silent. The reactions of the three navy monsters after hearing their names were intriguing.
Sakaski's face was full of soldier's indifference, as if he had accepted not a major and bloody mission like the Demon Slayer Order, but just an insignificant little mission.
Borsalino sat in the seat below Zefa, leisurely crossing his long legs, holding the nail clippers in his hand, cutting his nails by himself, lazy and leisurely, as if he didn't hear Zhan Guo's roll call at all.
Kuzan was sitting in the seat below Garp. After hearing his name, his expression changed at first, then returned to normal. However, there was a hint of hesitation and pain in his eyes, and he seemed not to want to execute the demon-killing order.
Zhan Guo didn't care about the reactions of the three people, and continued:
"In addition to Sakaski and the other two, we still need to send at least two lieutenant generals. However, considering that this demon-killing order is being carried out in the West Sea, we may face countless obstacles. Therefore, we need to send a few more reliable fighters, Pergman, Kake, Doberman, Flying Squirrel, and Stoloberry."
Sengoku called out five names in succession, but only Pergamon and Kake responded.
Because except for Pergman and Kake, Doberman, Flying Squirrel, and Stoloberry are all major generals at the moment and are not qualified to participate in this meeting.
However, the specifications of this Demon Slayer Order have already made everyone present gasp in shock—
Sakaski, Borsalino, Kuzan, Pergamon, Kake, Doberman, Flying Squirrel, Stollobelli.
Such a scale is no longer just a demon-slaying order, it can even start a huge war, because although the three admirals of red, green and yellow in this era have not been promoted to admirals, the entire sea knows that these three natural monsters are all designated future admirals of the navy!
Even at this moment, they already have the combat power of a general!
In the original work, Borsalino was not sent in O'Hara's Demon Killing Order. Only Sakaski and Kuzan were sent out among the red, green and yellow trio.
Now, the Holy Land once again launched a demon-killing order against O'Hara, but sent out a much more powerful lineup than the original timeline! ~
The Navy Chief of Staff Vice Admiral Tsuru's eyes were moving, thinking about the intention of the Holy Land's demon-slaying order. To be more precise, Tsuru was thinking about why the Holy Land had decided to have Sakaski and the other three participate in this demon-slaying order at the same time.
He already had a rough answer in her mind, but she didn't express any opinion.
When it comes to matters like the Demon-Slaying Order, her words are of no use. Anything related to the Demon-Slaying Order is determined by the Five Elder Stars, and no one else's words can make a difference. The Navy is only responsible for its execution.
Zhan Guo stood up and said in a powerful and vigorous voice:
"This Demon Slaying Order is not just a simple siege. It also requires the navy's powerful strength and execution! We must show the navy's momentum. This is a battle to announce the opening of a new era of the navy to the sea!!"
The high-ranking naval officers below all stood up, placed one hand across their chests, and said in unison:
"For justice!!!~"
Everyone said one thing and thought another. Although everyone knew that the Demon Slayer Order was clearly more evil than justice, they were all just executors due to the nature of the navy and the existence of the holy land.
What's more, there is no good or evil under the Demon Slayer Order, only death! !
……
The navy acted very quickly. This was a mission that the Five Elders had focused on, so the action taken by the navy was quite powerful. Fifteen top-level warships sailed out from the First Port of Marinford one after another, carrying tens of thousands of elite troops from the headquarters, including Sakaski, Borsalino, and Kuzan! ~
In the Marshal's Office——
Zhan Guo stood in front of the window, silently watching the mighty Demon Slayer Fleet sailing out of Marinford, and then said to He beside him:
"What is the purpose of the holy land?"
Having been comrades-in-arms and close friends for many years, Zhan Guo and He had already understood each other very well. Zhan Guo's questions were very concise, but He understood all of them, so he began to answer them one by one:
"O'Hara's Demon Slaying Order involves too much. I believe that the Holy Land must have promised Lex a lot of conditions in order to execute the Demon Slaying Order in the West Sea. But I am more curious about whether Lex will actually allow us to execute the Demon Slaying Order in the West Sea. You know, this is not just a simple Demon Slaying Order, but also a blow to Lex's prestige in Qinghai. The Demon Slaying Order being executed in the sea area under his command is bound to cause a huge public opinion storm."
After a pause, He looked at the fleet that was getting farther and farther away from Marinford, and analyzed it slowly:
"Besides that, there is the Demon Slaying Order itself. The Holy Land has chosen Sakaski and the other three. I guess it wants to see how well they can carry out the Holy Land's orders. This is a test for the three of them. It is not only a test of their justice, but also a test of their attitude towards the Holy Land."
Zhan Guo nodded in agreement:
"This is the only way to become a general."
He frowned slightly:
“I’m worried it won’t be satisfactory.”
Zhan Guo expressionless:
"That is beyond our control. The three of them have grown up now. The future of the navy still depends on them. It is their responsibility to make the choice. We have done enough."
He said no more, and quietly gazed at the Demon Slayer Fleet that had completely moved away from Marinford, but the melancholy in his eyes deepened.
……
at the same time--
Before the Navy Demon Slayer Fleet crossed the Red Earth Continent and arrived at the West Sea, an inconspicuous medium-sized ship was docked on O'Hara Island in the West Sea.
A blond boy was the first to be hit, followed closely by a tall, skinny, evil old man, and behind him was a pretty girl with long black hair who was packing her things.
Oleani, Red Earl, Hancock.
