Chapter four hundred and eight, waiting for the tacit understanding
Just as Long speculated, it was not that Lovett and others were not prepared to take action, but were observing and waiting.
But apart from that reason they speculated, ambition.
There are two more.
First of all, be afraid!
No one dares to break the tacit understanding and allow destruction to spread and natural disasters to wreak havoc.
This is an absolute prerequisite!
However, everyone knows how terrifying ancient weapons are. If used properly, they can definitely be a powerful force that can turn the tide of the war.
Tactically, we should despise the enemy, but strategically, we should pay attention to the enemy.
Otherwise, when the boat capsizes in the gutter, who will you turn to for explanation?
Then.
Suspicion!
The simple truth is that taking action against the revolutionary army is an inevitable result, but when to take action is a big question.
If you can’t wait to jump out, do you dare to say that you have no ideas?
Or do you think we will all believe you just because you say it?
The revolutionary army was under siege by Pluto, and so was everyone else.
If you take action against the revolutionary army without authorization, you will undoubtedly be labeled as having ulterior motives, and that force will also be regarded as a rule-breaker and face siege.
Ambition, fear, suspicion!
Under the influence of three factors, a strange picture appeared in the sea.
The Pluto crisis has caused an uproar on the sea. From the Grand Line to the Four Seas, from pirates to navy, from non-joined countries to joined countries, countless people around the world are excited about it. They are afraid, greedy, crying, angry, and all living beings have different attitudes.
.
However, there was no movement at all from the major organizations that were the top forces in the sea, as if they didn't know about it at all.
Seeing this situation, everyone shook their heads regretfully.
They are all old foxes!
No chance at all!
Even Kaido, the most fiery-tempered one, chose to stand still, much to the dismay of the Five Old Stars.
However, everyone is not in a hurry. Since they have chosen to wait, they have shown their attitude.
Then the next time to take action is a good choice.
Sure enough, on this day, the latest news came back.
Sabo, who was clearly heading somewhere along the Grand Line, suddenly turned around in his Pluto and headed straight towards the windless zone, with no large army following him.
"He's going to run away!"
Everyone woke up one after another, knowing that they could not wait any longer.
The four seas are vaster than the Grand Line, and even those super-large sea kings can hide under the sea, leaving endless legends. If the opponent escapes from the Grand Line and finds a place to hide, so that Pluto disappears, they will have nothing to do!
Therefore, several major forces simultaneously sent their spies towards the location of Pluto to monitor his whereabouts.
The undercurrent of the sea and the depressing atmosphere instantly replaced all the noise.
After learning about the actions of several major forces, the world understood that a war was about to begin.
…
New World, City of Auroville.
The Abomination Battleship Levianson quietly left the port. Under the fearful eyes of countless living people and undead, the will-o'-the-wisp skeletons floating on the sea automatically made way for it to pass.
The Black Earl is out!
The news immediately spread throughout the country, causing panic.
Standing on the deck of Leviathan, Lovett turned over the information in his hand and smiled.
"I said this must not have been ordered by Long, do you believe it or not?"
There were not many followers on the ship. Apart from the skeleton evil spirits who acted as coolies and the resentful ghosts who acted as eyeliners, Lovett only brought along Azkatatek, the leader of the three black knights feared by the world, Lord Skeleton.
This is his butler, who is especially good at cooking.
Hearing this, Aka, who was standing by with a wine bottle in his arms, smiled softly and replied: "Of course I believe it."
"Long is an ambitious guy. He is timid before fighting and surrenders before fighting. This is not his style."
Others don't know, but Aka knows that the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army is on the White Earth Island in the Grand Line.
It is also where the dragon, a powerful monster, sits.
Coupled with the previous turmoil in Impel City, the second commander of the Fourth Army was targeted by the government and has been unable to leave the Grand Line. If war breaks out, staying on the Grand Line is the wise choice.
But now the situation is that the troops are divided into two groups.
Long couldn't be so naive, thinking that everyone really only cares about Pluto.
If you go after Sabo, you will let them go.
This kind of self-destructive behavior will only accelerate your demise!
In response, Lovett took a sip from his wine glass and sighed.
"Yes, it is not his style to be timid before fighting and to find ways to preserve the revolutionary arsenal before the war begins."
"Master, what you mean is that Sabo betrayed the revolutionary army?"
Aka asked in surprise.
"It doesn't count."
Lovett shook his head and said with a smile: "A man who can become the Chief of General Staff of the Revolutionary Army cannot be so naive as to think that he can escape and stay out of the matter. There is no point in betraying him at this time."
"If you guessed it right, they just chose different methods for the same goal...but the initiative is in Saab's hands, and there is nothing Long can do to stop it."
At this point, Lovett sneered.
"Ridiculous mortal!"
"There are no eggs left behind when the nest is overturned. When the situation is over, what's the point of keeping more fire seeds?"
"A single spark can start a prairie fire, but the most indispensable thing in this sea is water!"
Aka's expression condensed and he nodded: "That's it."
"With Saab's personality, this choice makes sense."
By dividing the troops into two groups, the dragon will be helped to attract firepower, giving him more time to send his soldiers away and hide them, thus protecting the most people to the greatest extent possible.
Sabo did betray, but he didn't betray the revolutionary army or the justice he had insisted on for more than ten years. He just betrayed Long and made a decision that was inconsistent with his identity.
"It is foreseeable that the remnants of the revolutionary army will cause headaches for all parties for a long time, but there are also benefits..."
Before he finished speaking, Lovett suddenly turned his head.
Aka felt something and looked up: "Master, it's Kaido!"
"Pfft hahahaha!"
A huge Viking-style pirate ship floats on the sea. Before anyone arrives, the sound has already arrived.
Kaido, a tall and burly man with a rope tied around his waist, black hair shawl around his shoulders and a pointed head, stood at the bow of the ship, looking this way.
"It seems we have thought of getting together, Black Earl!"
Kaido said loudly, behind him, "Fire Calamity" Jin stood quietly a few meters away, looking up and down at the ordinary Levianson, the ordinary Lovett and his party.
Couldn't help but sigh again.
"They are all old foxes who are not easy to mess with!"
The other party was just like them, only the captain and one general took action. This situation is enough to illustrate the problem.
Lovett rolled his eyes and shrugged.
"Where's the red hair and the white beard?"
"We took a detour, so they didn't dare to trust us and took advantage of our territory."
Kaido took over the topic: "But there are more whitebeards, and almost all the team captains on the Moby Dick are here."
"oh?"
Lovett was convinced.
This was definitely not because Whitebeard was afraid of them, because he was afraid that he and others would take the opportunity to do harm to him.
It's not that he is interested in Pluto and wants to compete for it.
But...
"Is his body too old to be damaged?"
Otherwise, why would we need so many people accompanying us?
"Pity!"
If it weren't for the wrong timing, Lovett would really want to get rid of this trouble all at once.
"But it doesn't matter!"
Lovett was quickly relieved.
You can't become fat by eating it all at once, so for Whitebeard, he also prepared a "gift".
………………
No wonder it was scheduled for four days. Last night I stayed up all night. I didn’t go home until eight o’clock after breakfast and slept until six o’clock.
My vacation was just wasted for one day [uncomfortable]
Three chapters tonight are for sure, Dashu will work harder to see if he can update four chapters.
I always feel tired from writing this book. Is it my imagination?
