Chapter 234 The 9 Snake Pirates are about to appear!
Marine Headquarters Marinevando.
Marshal Sengoku convened another high-level meeting of the navy, and even the newly joined admiral, Aramaki Ryukyu, attended the meeting. The theme of this meeting was to discuss the Nine Snakes Pirates' arrival at Raftel and the Pirate Queen Boa Hancock becoming the Pirate King.
In fact, there is no need to discuss this topic at all, because most people tend to launch an attack! The new recruits who joined the navy coveted the huge treasure obtained by the Nine Snakes Pirates; while the original navy wanted to avenge the blood feud six months ago!
"General Huangmu, how is the contact with Mr. Yixiao going?" Marshal Zhan Guo looked at Green Bull expressionlessly and asked calmly.
"It's not going well, Marshal Sengoku. I've tried to persuade him many times, but Yixiao has absolutely no intention of joining the navy now." Green Bull, who was sitting in a somewhat dissolute posture, revealed a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Yixiao was someone he had known in his early years, and he was very clear about the other person's strength. He once said that the two of them could pursue their own justice and join the navy together in the future.
This time, due to the death of Admiral Akainu, the navy launched a world conscription. Aramaki joined immediately without any hesitation, but his old acquaintance broke the original agreement and refused to join the navy.
Sengoku looked away, frowning, "So you've finally refused... Then forget it, Branyu, have the Nine Snakes Pirates appeared?"
Sengoku's adjutant, Branyu, saw this and stood at attention and answered, "Yes! Marshal Sengoku! According to all our intelligence, there is no trace of the Nine Snakes Pirates in either the New World or Paradise."
"Mr. Sengoku, do you think the Nine Snake Pirates have returned to the Nine Snake Island?" Kizaru looked at Sengoku and asked in a low voice.
Zhan Guo frowned, and after careful consideration, he replied: “That’s unlikely.
Ever since the Nine Snakes Pirates disappeared in the New World half a year ago, we and the World Government's intelligence agencies have been searching for their whereabouts with all our might.
Not only that, they also searched the waters around the Calm Belt Nine Snake Island, but up to now, they have not found any clues about the Nine Snake Pirates."
Then Branio continued, his tone firm: "Indeed, we have tried our best, but we have not been able to find any trace of them."
Kizaru spread his hands helplessly, as if he could no longer think of any other reasonable explanation.
At this time, Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at Sengoku and made a suggestion: "Sengoku, although we secretly pushed many pirate groups to try to break into the Calm Belt and attack the Nine Snake Island, these pirates have not made any achievements so far, but have all been buried by the Sea Kings.
If this continues, I'm afraid those pirates will give up. So, should we consider putting pressure on the Nine Snakes Island to force the Nine Snakes Pirates to show up?"
Her eyes were slightly expectant as she waited for Zhan Guo's response.
Everyone present knew very well what Vice Admiral Tsuru meant by "pressure".
Since the Nine Snakes Pirates have chosen to hide, the navy can take more drastic measures - directly cross the calm belt and advance to the Nine Snakes Island!
They firmly believed that in the face of such resolute actions, the Nine Snakes Pirates would never be able to remain indifferent and silent.
Instantly, all the admirals who participated in the meeting in the conference room turned their expectant and eager eyes to Marshal Zhan Guo. They sincerely hoped that Marshal Zhan Guo would approve Vice Admiral Tsuru's proposal!
Sengoku did not respond immediately, but looked at several high-ranking naval officials including Garp Aokiji.
Garp has a close relationship with Vice Admiral Tsuru, so naturally he would have no objection. Aokiji is now one of the popular candidates for the next generation of the Navy's Admiral. He certainly hopes that all civilians can regain their trust in the justice represented by the Navy. Therefore, he also expressed his support for Vice Admiral Tsuru's proposal, and others also held the same attitude of approval.
Seeing the high-ranking officers of the navy nodding one after another, Zhan Guo made a decision in an instant: "Branniu, remember this!"
"Yes, sir! Marshal Zhan Guo!" Branniu quickly took out his notebook and prepared to record Zhan Guo's orders.
Seeing that Branyu was ready, Sengoku stood up from the Marshal's throne and said loudly: "Order! General Kuzan and General Aramaki will lead a part of the headquarters' elite forces to garrison in the Sabaody Archipelago immediately. If the Nine Snakes Pirates return from the New World, they will definitely show up here!
At the same time, Vice Admiral Garp and Vice Admiral Tsuru led 20 warships to the waters of Nine Snake Island, directly crossing the calm belt and exerting pressure on the Amazon Lily Kingdom!
This battle is a rare opportunity for the Navy. Whether the Navy can restore the world’s confidence in us depends on this battle!
Please everyone! "
"Yes!"
"Marshal Zhan Guo!" Everyone present immediately stood up and shouted in unison in response!
.........
Now the Nine Snakes Pirates have returned to Fishman Island, and they have the presence of Sea King Shirahoshi, so the navy's deployment cannot be hidden from the Nine Snakes Pirates at all.
The Navy Headquarters dispatched a large number of warships, and those sea kings immediately reported to Shirahoshi.
"Sister Snake, Sister Snake, the navy you mentioned has started to take action. Do you need Shirahoshi to let my little cuties sink their ships?" After Princess Shirahoshi received a response from the Sea King, she happily ran to the Empress.
Ever since the Nine Snakes Pirates came back, she has rarely been excited, because in front of the Nine Snakes Pirates, she is finally not just a child like she is in front of her parents and elders. She can prove that she, Princess Shirahoshi, is also very useful!
The empress and the other girls immediately looked at Jellal. Everything that happened now was within Jellal's expectations.
Jellal patted the empress who was slumped on him. The empress glared at Jellal and then got up from his lap. Jellal pretended to be indifferent, stood up and said slowly: "Now is the time to implement the second phase of the plan. The actions of the navy are nothing more than two aspects, the Calm Belt and the Sabaody Archipelago, which are the two places that must be passed by the New World to return to Paradise.
Well, let’s play with the Navy!
It’s enough for me to go to the Calm Belt. With the ability of my fruit, no one can be my opponent in the Calm Belt.
The rest of the group, led by Snake Princess, will head directly to the Sabaody Archipelago. As long as we can resolve this wave of attack by the navy, our goal will be achieved.
That time will be what Robin said, that is, the time for the third phase of the plan!"
"Great! Can we finally show up?"
"I have been staying in Dragon Palace City and cannot go out these past few days. I can't hold it any longer!"
"Great, Sister Snake, this time I'm going to fight a navy admiral!"
After hearing Gerard's arrangement, the girls' eyes immediately became eager. It's time to get down to business!
"Sister Snake, Shirahoshi is going to participate too!"
Bai Xing was unwilling to fall behind, and her young face was full of determination.
"Okay~ I agree. Then, let's act according to Gerard's plan!"
"Yes!"
"Lord Snake Princess!"
