This unprecedented battle, which had gone through many twists and turns, ended with a complete victory of the navy after lasting for one day and one night.
The Beast Pirates paid an extremely heavy price for this war.
Two major disasters resulted in one death and one serious injury. Fully one-third of the "True Fighter" level cadres were lost, and more than half of the ordinary pirates below were killed or injured.
The pirate groups that allied with them and came to join the war were even more miserable. Only three of the dozen captains returned...
On the other hand, look at the Navy.
The casualties were much smaller. Although the several lieutenant generals in the headquarters were all badly injured, none of them was in danger of losing their lives.
By the time the pursuit was over, these lieutenant generals had begun to return one after another, leading their men to clean up the battlefield among the ruins, treat the wounded, and arrest and imprison all the prisoners who could not escape.
The number of people in this part alone was two to three thousand, which took a lot of effort from the navy.
…
The dark clouds dispersed and the heavy rain stopped.
Nosha and Akainu also returned from the pursuit and walked along the fragmented harbor towards the fortress.
On the way, I met several lieutenant generals from the headquarters, and when they had a brief chat, their reactions were all the same. They were all amazed by Nuoxia's amazing achievements, and they were all full of envy and admiration, and couldn't stop sighing.
"The people transferred from our headquarters to participate in the war this time are all veteran lieutenant generals with experience and resumes. Many of them are of the same generation as old man Garp."
Akainu saw the reactions of these seniors in his eyes. When he and Nosha were alone again, he shook his head and smiled:
"These old stubborns, and there were many of them before, felt that the promotion of you to lieutenant general was a bit exaggerated, and they were a little dissatisfied with it, but... after this battle, I'm afraid I can only accept you sincerely."
"Isn't that an exaggeration?"
After hearing this, Nuo Xia just smiled and shrugged, looking indifferent.
It's even more exaggerated than that. Maybe those old guys now feel like they have lived all their years on dogs... Such a thought just flashed through Akainu's mind, and suddenly he felt a little bit——
Why is it that compared to this little monster, at my own age, I feel like a dog?
This kid is obviously only twenty-one years old this year.
Looking at the overly young and handsome side face, Akainu felt a little complicated, and suddenly recalled the first time he paid attention to the name Romanov Nosha.
That was only two years ago.
At that time, this kid had just defeated William Shichibukai as a new recruit.
He admired this ruthless kid quite a lot, and even had the idea of personally submitting a petition to transfer him to his subordinates as soon as he graduated.
But who could have predicted what would happen next...
In just two years, the other party not only became the youngest lieutenant general in the history of the department, but also came to the same echelon as himself in terms of strength, completely equal to him.
In this war, he faced two sea emperors and achieved a brilliant record that even he could not catch up with.
The gap between humans is really bigger than that between humans and pigs.
Akainu was sighing in his heart, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned his head to look at the horizon in the northeast.
There, a hot air balloon airship had just changed its direction and was slowly retreating into the distance.
"It looks like Morgans."
Nuo Xia also noticed the hot air balloon, and raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised, "I saw this guy before at Cake Island, but I didn't expect that this time he would sneak around and watch the whole process..."
Is it necessary for the dignified president of World Economic News to be so hands-on?
"Hmph, that birdman..."
Akainu snorted coldly, looking at the hot air balloon with a look full of evil, "He has always been a person who is afraid of chaos in the world. In the past, he made up a lot of exaggerations and distorted facts for the sake of newspaper sales. He has arranged this story several times...
…”
"But at least it's neutral, right?"
Nuo Xia saw him looking like he wanted to jump up and chase him, so he smiled and said:
"He has done some disgusting pirate things. For example, what happened at Cake Island last time. The reason Big Mom didn't suppress it was because he, the invited guest ally, spread the word?"
"That's true."
Akainu narrowed his eyes, the murderous aura in his body faded a lot, and suddenly sneered:
"Our navy has won a great victory this time. It is the time when we need to publicize it with all our strength. I want to see if he will be wiser. If he still dares... hmph, then it is time for the World Economic News Agency to change its owner.
"
Do you hear that, Morgans?
If there is a deviation in the report, you will be held responsible in the future.
Nuo Xia clasped her hands behind her back, smiled and said nothing, watching the hot air balloon gradually drift away in the morning light...
———
While the Navy was still busy dealing with the aftermath of the war.
The battle that took place in the G1 branch finally fermented overnight. Starting from the dawn of the next day, it was gradually spread to all parts of the world through the news birds of major newspapers.
The speed with which the news appeared in newspapers this time can be said to be almost the fastest in history.
The reason is that Morgans, the world's largest newspaper giant, was at the scene of the war and dedicated himself as a temporary reporter.
It is precisely because of this that the relevant reports are extremely detailed.
Not only does it take a huge amount of three pages to explain the causes, consequences and final outcome of the entire war, it is also accompanied by a large number of high-definition photos taken by Morgans himself.
These photos reveal too much shocking information.
There is a scene where the giant cyan dragon and the golden Buddha fight in darkness, and there are also the successive defeats of two major disasters. Kaido is furious and attacks Noxia, but is easily resolved by the wind wall;
Later, the scene of Nosha and Akainu teaming up to suppress Big Mom was unable to escape...
The losses suffered by the Navy are rarely mentioned.
From this point of view, maybe Morgans sensed Akainu's murderous intention from a distance of more than ten kilometers away, or maybe he was moody, and this time he just wanted to disgust the two sea emperors...
In short.
This newspaper was published quickly and sold out quickly. People who bought the newspaper rushed to circulate it, instantly igniting public opinion.
This newspaper of World Economic News has become the most explosive publication since the execution of Pirate King Roger five years ago!
All of a sudden.
From the four seas to the Grand Line, from the shuttered doors of humble taverns to the prosperous bustling streets of major cities...this unprecedented war has been talked about by countless people.
And there is no doubt about it.
Nuo Xia, who played the most crucial role in it and even turned the tide of the war on his own, suddenly became the focus of the entire world again after a few months!
———
The New World, a small island belonging to the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.
A banquet is being held.
The reason for holding the banquet is simple. Captain Bista of the fifth division celebrates his birthday today, and Whitebeard happened to personally defeat a pirate group called the Great Vortex Spiders who came to challenge him.
In one fell swoop, he collected hundreds more sons.
So we decided to hold two happy events together, and the banquet became extra grand.
They drank from dusk until late at night, but their interest remained undiminished. The drunken pirates lit a bonfire, hugging their backs and laughing and dancing around the flames.
A figure sitting next to the huge rock looked extraordinarily tall. He looked at his sons drinking happily in the campfire, touched his beard, and his eyes were filled with a smile of joy and satisfaction.
The World's Strongest Man, Whitebeard Edward Newgate.
And behind his back, a large naginata named "Sogumo Kiri" was firmly embedded in the soil.
Just like its owner, just standing there quietly gives off a suffocating sense of oppression.
"I can't hold it in anymore, I can't hold it in anymore..."
When it got dark, Captain Scuyard of the Great Maelstrom Spider Pirates finally found an opening and left the camp. He reached the edge of a remote cliff nearby and began to hiss in the wind.
As a newly joined captain, he had been the focus of care all night, and he was already a little delirious after drinking. After he finished urinating comfortably, he was about to turn back and go back to sleep, when he suddenly saw a news bird flying across the sky.
After thinking about it, I just bought a few copies.
"This is……"
The moment he unfolded the newspaper and saw the headline on the front page, the Great Vortex Spider suddenly became excited, and the drunkenness he had just felt disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Dad! Look at this!" He hurriedly ran back to the camp, raised the newspaper in his hand and shouted, "Something terrible happened over there in the Navy's G1 branch!"
"Hahaha, what big event could be more important than a banquet?"
"I'm panicking, what are you thinking!"
"Come on, you didn't have enough fun last night, come here and keep drinking with me, little spider!"
The crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates headquarters looked at his appearance and couldn't help but laugh in good faith.
"My silly son..."
Whitebeard also smiled and shook his head, but after taking the newspaper and browsing it casually for a few times, his eyes narrowed slightly, showing a bit of surprise.
"What's wrong, dad?" A crew member below noticed something was wrong and asked.
Whitebeard was watching intently, frowning and saying nothing, while the Vortex Spider quickly took the extra newspapers he had bought and circulated them around.
A few minutes later.
Next to the bonfire, there was a sound of gasping for air.
"Hey, hey, are you kidding me? That Kaido and Charlotte Lingling teamed up and actually lost to the navy of the new world?"
"And he was defeated so miserably... What kind of monster is this guy named Nuo Xia?"
"I have an impression that it seems that the drought-hit Galileo died in his hands last year. I didn't expect that the other two disasters would also fall on him..."
in the crowd.
"Foil" Bista, who had just become the birthday boy, was pinching his beard and looking at the photo of Nosha in the report, his eyes almost popped out of his head.
——When did this kid become so strong???
Compared to the rest of his partners, he had a deeper impression of this guy. As early as when he saw the report that the opponent defeated William Shichibukai, he could see that this name was deeply imprinted in his heart.
Perhaps because they are both dual-sword swordsmen, they have a desire to compete with each other.
but.
Since he became famous earlier, Bista has always put himself in the position of a kendo senior to examine this navy brat.
I look forward to using my two foil swords to teach this kid what the true secret of double-sword style swordsmanship is when we fight against each other one day in the future.
But now...
Bista's throat rolled subconsciously, and he was able to withstand Kaido's blow without getting hurt. Then, with the help of another lieutenant general, he fought fiercely with Big Mom, that terrifying woman, for several hours...
With such an amazing record, can I still be this guy's opponent?
"Gula la la la..."
Whitebeard finally finished reading the report. He looked at the horizon in the distance, and suddenly grinned loudly under the puzzled gaze of the vortex spider.
"It seems that after Kapu Zefa's gang, a decent junior finally emerged from the already stinky place like the Navy Headquarters!"
"Dad..."
Everyone stared at him blankly, but Whitebeard had no intention of continuing. He just poured another mouthful of wine into his mouth, and burst into heroic laughter of "Gula la la la".
That’s what it’s like!
Since Roger's death, this sea has been boring to him for too long. Kaido Big Mom doesn't even have the qualifications for him to attack with all his strength.
Emperor of the sea?
It's just a game of house.
Now, it is time for more fresh blood like Nuo Xia to make this sea boil and burn again!
————
West Sea, Kingdom of Agatha.
A village on the outskirts of a certain place.
It was already three o'clock in the night, the cold wind was howling outside the house, and heavy snow was falling, but inside the shabby and simple bedroom, a solitary lamp like a bean was still lit.
The figure, shrouded in a dark green hooded robe, was quietly reviewing the intelligence sent by the frontline subordinates today, accompanied by the light.
"The two big cities in the west have been captured..."
"And over at the royal capital, the crow has also successfully lurked in..."
The man named Monkey D. Dragon looked up at the falling snow outside the window and said to himself in a low voice, "It seems that this subversion of the Agatha Kingdom is going much smoother than I originally expected."
Thanks to the bear for the reminder.
Long felt a little lucky in his heart. Originally, he had planned to launch a revolutionary uprising in this extremely decadent country last year.
But just when the plan was put on the agenda, Xiong, whom he hadn't contacted for a long time, sent a message asking him to postpone taking action.
The reason is also very simple. The Kingdom of Agatha is not far from the first branch base in the West Sea, and it only takes about a day with warships rushing to the rescue at full speed.
At that time, Nuo Xia, the deputy base commander of the first branch, had just returned to Xihai from the New World.
Xiong warned him in a very serious tone on the phone, claiming that Nuo Xia's strength was not comparable to that of an ordinary major general.
If he was invited to intervene, the revolutionary army would definitely be defeated, so Long must postpone the action until the other party resigned and left.
At first, Long was a little disapproving of this.
But after he sent someone to inquire about some information related to Nuo Xia, he broke into a cold sweat and immediately realized that what Xiong said was true, and quickly arranged for the evacuation of the frontline personnel who were already preparing to take action.
