Chapter 302 Born out of the sky, rushing to help Tokushima
soon.
While talking and laughing, the two of them arrived at the pier unknowingly.
Two large warships have been waiting there for a long time, ready to go to the new world at any time.
One of them is unremarkable, it is a temporary ship randomly selected by Aokiji, and there is no difference from other standard warships in the headquarters.
The other one is quite conspicuous and special.
The hull is brand new, and the white paint is bright and shiny. Although it is only slightly larger than a standard warship, the gun muzzles on both sides have doubled.
What is even more eye-catching is the collision head of the ship, which is a giant blue eagle with wild eyes and soaring wings.
"Thunder Eagle".
This is the name of this warship. It just left the factory a month ago and was only delivered to the headquarters last week. It has never even participated in a battle.
That's right.
The Thunder Eagle is a warship designed and built by Tom, the fishman of the Seven Waters Capital, for Noxia himself.
half a year ago.
Tom once solemnly promised to Nuo Xia to build him the most powerful warship in the world.
But now, the old man is worthy of his reputation as the world's best shipbuilder and has fulfilled his promise perfectly.
The final performance test results of this "Thunder Eagle" based on the department's professional testing are simply amazing.
In addition to the double firepower, the Thunder Eagle is far ahead of warships of the same class in terms of the sturdiness of the hull structure and the theoretical maximum speed. It is the undisputed strongest warship in the entire navy.
At that time, all the lieutenant generals were envious of this warship. Qingzhi even touched it and looked at it greedily, and his mouth water almost flowed down.
The ability to do this is not only due to Tom's excellent shipbuilding skills, but also because the main part of the entire ship is made of "Treasure Tree Adam" as raw materials.
Because the Adam tree is one of the strongest trees in the world, it is said that it can remain standing no matter how brutal the war is.
Therefore, even a piece of wood can often be sold for a sky-high price of 200 million beli on the black market, and there is often no market for it.
Nosha is no stranger to it.
Pirate King Gol D. Roger's ship "Orson Jackson" and Future Luffy's new ship "Wanli Sunshine" were both made from this tree.
Of course, Tom couldn't afford Adam wood. He told Norcia in his letter that the wood used to build the warship was the remaining wood from the entire Adam tree that Roger had given him.
The same "Treasure Tree Adam" was used to build the strongest pirate ship and the strongest warship respectively...
Nuo Xia found it quite interesting. The former helped Roger start the era of pirates, but what if the latter ended the era of pirates in his own hands?
Nuo Xia and Qing Zhi each set foot on their own ships.
"Lieutenant General Noxia!"
As soon as they boarded the deck, countless sailors stood at attention and saluted, looking at Nuo Xia with eager reverence.
A total of 1,200 naval personnel.
These are all Nuo Xia's direct subordinates, and they are also the absolute elites he selected from his headquarters.
It's funny to say.
Before the delivery of the "Thunder Eagle", Cyborg Kong instructed Nosha to start forming his own direct troops. As soon as the news came out, it triggered an unprecedented wave of registrations throughout Marineland.
As his military exploits have become more and more outstanding in the past two years, Nuo Xia's prestige in the navy has also become higher and higher, and he can be said to have countless fans.
As a result, there were only about a thousand people available, but more than ten times the number of navy soldiers were vying to sign up. In those days, the threshold of the relevant departments was completely crushed...
If it's just at the grassroots level, that's it. According to the regulations of the headquarters, every large warship commanded by a lieutenant general of the headquarters will be equipped with a major general and a commodore as adjutants.
These two positions were also taken over.
In just one day, more than thirty applications were submitted to Gang Gukong's desk, allowing this old marshal, who had lived for almost a hundred years and had seen all kinds of storms, to send them all for a long time.
It took me a while to come back to my senses.
Then he simply left the final decision in Nuo Xia's hands.
Nuo Xia flipped through the thick stack of files sent to him, and the decision was made very quickly. Two candidates were decided on the same day.
And these two adjutants are exactly——
"Lieutenant General."
Two tall figures wearing white cloaks of justice came around, one on the left and the other on the right, and saluted solemnly, while Nuo Xia also nodded at them and chuckled:
"Long time no see, Flying Squirrel, Ghost Spider."
"yes."
The flying squirrel opposite smiled and nodded, "It's been almost two years."
Ghost Spider grinned. He hadn't been here for a long time. He had fought side by side with Noxia in the Chambord Islands more than half a year ago.
That's right.
The two adjutants selected by Nuo Xia were exactly the same two of them. One is currently a major general and the other is a brigadier general. They were both transferred back to the headquarters from other places at the beginning of this year.
The reason why Nuo Xia chose them is also very simple.
First of all, they are from the same school. Not only do they have a natural close relationship with each other as disciples of Zefa, but they have also dealt with each other for a long time and know each other well.
Secondly...
Of course, taking into account the potential of the two people.
The future flying squirrel and ghost spider, in the comic timeline, are both well-known veteran elite lieutenant generals in the department. In terms of strength and status, they are second only to the three generals of the chicken, dog, and monkey.
Taking these two people under his command at the same time will not only make them the most capable assistants in the future, but also give them a sense of accomplishment.
The flying squirrel and the ghost spider also looked at Nuo Xia with some emotion.
Their first acquaintance with Nuo Xia can be traced back to three years ago. At that time, they were already the best among the young generals. Nuo Xia was just an unknown recruit they met when visiting Zefa.
But now, three years later, the other party has become the most dazzling lieutenant general in the headquarters, a being they can only stand on tiptoe to look up to.
They also became each other's direct subordinates, but they took the initiative to apply. There was no jealousy or dissatisfaction towards this young junior brother, only full respect and admiration...
The two of them watched Nuo Xia walking towards the bow of the ship, looking at the sea in the distance, waving her hands slightly, and giving the order in a cold voice:
"Now that everyone is here, let's go!"
"Target, new world, Kingdom of Dressrosa!"
The words just fell.
A thunderous response suddenly sounded across the entire deck:
"Yes, Lieutenant General!"
————————
Far away, the Kingdom of Dressrosa.
A prosperous city along the coast was filled with gunpowder smoke and the outer streets were dilapidated. It was obvious that it had just experienced a dismal war.
"I can finally rest for a while..."
In the temporary palace, King Liku sat down, panted violently, and gritted his teeth and said:
"These bastard pirates are really endless. They chase away one wave after another. Do you really think that we, Dressrosa, are easy to mess with?"
Ever since the violent turmoil caused by the historical road sign text began, there have been many pirate groups in the New World, screaming and heading towards Tokushima.
The critical situation along the coast forced him to go on a personal expedition, taking all the royal palaces with him to the edge towns for defense.
Up to now, it has been three days and three nights of bloody fighting, and I don’t know how many battles it has gone through.
"His Majesty……"
Cyrus, the commander of the army, knelt on one knee on the ground with a look of guilt on his face, "All of this happened because of me. Now the country is in crisis, and all they want is my head. If you really can't resist it, why not..."
"What are you talking about, Cyrus!"
Before Cyrus could finish speaking, King Liku waved his hand and interrupted, saying displeasedly:
"You did nothing wrong from the beginning to the end! Could it be that you were watching the female pirate named Karina burning, killing and looting in the town?"
"Using your head in exchange for the peace of the country? Humph, how do you want the people to see me, and how do you want that girl Scarlet to see her father?"
Mentioning the wife who was willing to abandon her status as a princess to be with him, Cyrus's crouched body trembled slightly, and he raised his head with pursed lips and no words.
"So...don't mention such silly things again!"
King Riku laughed loudly, "Understand, fight well and live well! Don't forget, you are a man who has won 4,000 games in a row in the arena!"
When Cyrus nodded vigorously and stepped aside, King Liku turned his head again and asked:
"Is there any latest response from the Navy? Who did they send and when will they arrive?"
"They said they set out a few days ago." A minister replied in a low voice, "But they only said they would send two lieutenant generals, and the specific candidates have not been revealed yet..."
"Two lieutenant generals?"
King Riku rubbed his eyebrows. This was indeed a terrifying combat power. Normally, it would be more than enough to sit in Tokushima.
But now the situation is special, the new world is in chaos, and even the sea emperors have gotten involved, I still feel a little uneasy...
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Suddenly, a panicked voice sounded, and a guard rushed in on the ground, "Thirty nautical miles away to the north, a large number of pirate ships are approaching!"
"here we go again?"
King Riku was shocked. Cyrus frowned and murmured: "It has only been less than half an hour since the last wave of offensive. It seems that there are more and more pirates targeting Tokushima."
Already..."
"There is no other way. Behind you is the royal capital and millions of citizens."
King Liku suddenly jumped up from the throne, grabbed his weapons and took the lead in rushing out of the palace, roaring:
"No matter how many pirates come, we have to resist them. Everyone, charge with me and defeat these bastard pirates!"
——————-
Boom!
There was a dull loud noise, countless water columns splashed up, the ferocious-looking sea kings screamed, and the bodies sank into the sea.
This big guy is really hard to think about, and his eyesight is not very good. If he can't stop anyone else's ship, he has to attack Lieutenant General Noxia's ship...
On the deck of the warship, the sailors shook their heads and looked at the giant sea king with pity as it perished in the sea.
After the slender figure wearing the white cloak of justice floated down from the sky, he bypassed the corpse of the Neptune and continued towards Tokushima at full speed.
"With just one punch, I killed a Neptune that was over a kilometer in size."
On the boat next door, Qing Pheasant Pillow leaned on a wicker chair and glanced sideways at Nuo Xia, "It's hard for me to achieve this level. Your guy's physique is really getting more and more terrifying..."
Nuo Xia smiled and said nothing. These four months of heavy training were not in vain. In addition to swordsmanship and fruit ability, both hands must be grasped and both hands must be strong. His physique has also improved continuously through the training of thunder.
few.
At the data level, the strength attribute has been increased a bit, from 34 to 35.
"How long is it until Tokushima?"
He stretched and asked the adjutant flying squirrel beside him.
"It's very close. If we keep sailing at this speed, we can arrive in six hours at most, that is, before tonight."
The flying squirrel answered in a deep voice.
"That's pretty quick."
Nuo Xia nodded lightly, feeling relieved.
According to the news returned from the naval intelligence department in the morning, the situation on Tokushima is still relatively optimistic.
The leading pirate group mainly took advantage of being relatively close to Tokushima, and their strength was average. The pirate captain with the largest bounty only had 50 to 60 million beli.
These pirates were all repulsed by King Liku's army, and so far they have not been able to conquer even a single town.
And when the navy arrives in the evening, Tokushima can sit back and relax, and King Riku's army can also have a good sleep and rest comfortably all night.
But right now.
Ghost Spider suddenly opened the door and walked out of the cabin with an ugly expression: "Lieutenant General, the situation has changed. I'm afraid the situation in Tokushima is not good."
"Huh?" Nuo Xia frowned, "What's going on?"
"Just now, the latest information was sent from the front line."
Ghost Spider handed over the document in his hand, "An hour ago, the three captains of the big pirate group, each with a reward of over 100 million, suddenly announced the formation of a coalition, arrived on the southeast coast of Tokushima, and began to launch an attack. The scale was huge, with a total of twenty
There are more than 5,000 ships and a total force of more than 5,000 men."
"Although King Liku's army has tens of thousands of people, after all, it has to defend the entire coastline. There are only three to four thousand in total deployed in the city."
Ghost Spider hesitated and said, "There is a huge difference in military strength. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to hold on..."
Three big pirates with a bounty of over 100 million, join forces to attack?
Nuo Xia flipped through the documents and looked at Qing Zhi who came over after hearing the noise, both of them looking solemn.
"King Liku's army will definitely not be able to last for six hours." Qingzhi said in a low voice, "It seems that we have to take a step in advance."
"Well, the later we arrive, the greater the casualties. We can't delay."
Nuo Xia nodded, turned to his subordinates and said, "Kuzan and I will set off first. You continue to sail at full speed and follow us as soon as possible."
Flying Squirrel and Ghost Spider nodded: "Understood, Lieutenant General, please be careful."
"rest assured."
Naturally, the journey of more than six hours could not be completed entirely on foot. Qingzhi carried his bicycle and dropped it on the sea. The cold air immediately created an icy path.
The blue pheasant pedaled very fast, and rushed out like a puff of smoke at a speed several times that of a warship.
And Noxia...
The navy officers on the two warships watched helplessly as he stood up from the ground on moon steps. The moment his hind feet left the deck, a sudden burst of light distorted on the blade ridge behind his back, and a pair of blue wings surrounded by thunder appeared.
It unfolded with a swish.
Immediately...
Buzz!
Under the stunned gazes of countless sailors, Nuo Xia's figure was like a flying meteor, flying out at a speed that was difficult to see clearly with the naked eye.
After a while, he easily overtook the blue pheasant on the sea surface and turned into a small black dot in the distance, gradually disappearing from sight...
