Chapter 43, the headquarters shakes, the crisis lurks!
Naval Headquarters, Marineford.
The majestic and majestic fortress is awe-inspiring. With the sun at its back, the naval flag is fluttering in the wind, and the sound of the flag is heart-stirring.
In the office on the top floor of the fortress, Warring States closed the documents in his hands and glanced at the generals with majestic eyes.
"...This time the red hair and Kaido fight, it can be seen that the pattern of the four emperors has been stabilized. In the future, intelligence work in the new world must be stepped up. Do you understand?!"
"yes!"
"That's it...Qing Pheasant, Crane, you two stay, and the rest disperse."
Wow!
No one asked why.
After receiving the order, a group of navy dignitaries who could make the sea tremble if they were released quickly turned around and left regardless of their position, showing their strong execution ability as soldiers.
Waiting for the door to close, Ms. He, the chief of general staff, rubbed her temples, her wrinkled face full of exhaustion.
"Although I knew he was very strong a long time ago, I didn't expect that he could actually fight off hundreds of beasts."
In the completely unfavorable situation of being surrounded and outflanked by the enemy's superior force, Kaido was defeated in an unparalleled duel with no winner or loser, which completely established the reality that the "Four Emperors" are on equal footing, and the structure of the Four Emperors is stable.
But for the navy, do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, or do the disadvantages outweigh the advantages?
"Well, anyway, isn't this the situation that the higher-ups want to see?"
Aoki crossed his arms and hit him, and said: "After all, Kaido and Big Mom are the same crew member. If we leave it alone, if they join forces, Whitebeard may not be able to withstand it."
Although, the chance of the two of them joining forces is almost non-existent.
But don't be afraid of ten thousand in everything, just be afraid of the eventuality.
The navy does not dare to bet its hopes on conflicts among pirates.
"Okay, that's the end of this topic, do you understand?"
Warring States raised his head, his eyes serious under his toad glasses.
Hearing this, the two of them calmed down and nodded.
"I asked you to stay for another reason..."
Taking out a stack of new documents from the drawer and pushing them to them, Warring States said: "This is the flying squirrel's idea, and I have agreed."
"Flying squirrel?"
Ms. He frowned silently, seeming to realize something.
Opening the file, she quickly scanned the contents, her eyes slightly heavy.
"brute!!"
This is not a scolding of Flying Squirrel, nor a scolding of Lovett, nor a scolding of the villagers of Cocoa West Village.
Qingzhi raised his head and glanced at her, shrinking his neck.
In such a state, it is better not to provoke Ms. He.
Then continue reading.
A few minutes later……
Snapped!
After closing the document and coding it, Qingzhi turned his head, his eyes full of doubts: "Magic? Does such a thing really exist?"
"I have sent someone to contact Moria to confirm that he is still alive."
Warring States calmly replied: "But regardless of whether it is true or not, this ability is very scary."
Not ordinary scary!
Crane and Qing Pheasant looked at each other and saw the solemn look in each other's eyes.
Being able to hurt the natural Smog is not enough to make them so nervous. What they really care about is the opponent's ability to resurrect the dead!
The flying squirrel reported a series of detailed information that had not been made public, focusing on the fact that the other party could resurrect the dead.
To them, the dead have nothing to fear.
But how many existences like them exist in the sea?
The entire navy combined is less than one ten millionth of the civilian population!
And "Moonlight" Moria needs the shadow of a living person to create a zombie army, but the other party only needs corpses.
After cleaning the battlefield, the Light Flying Squirrel sorted out more than three hundred corpses, including but not limited to the 153rd branch of the navy and the pirates who disappeared in the ghost ship incident.
At the same time, these zombies are not even restrained by sea water, sea towers, and rocks. They must be completely destroyed to subdue them, which meets all the definitions of zombies in people's imagination.
"In addition, according to the spies' report, scratches appeared in the coffins of the empty graves in the cemetery of Shields Town at the earliest on the eighth day after the bodies were buried. Do you know what this means?"
Warring States asked seriously.
"It means... he can not only directly summon the dead to resurrect, but also secretly create zombies through other means, such as plagues and viruses."
He took a deep breath, and a chill filled his heart.
Marineford also has only three underground water sources, and all the staff of the headquarters, including their families, draw water from these three water sources.
In the sea, there are many situations where a town or a city only has one well. If the opponent drops zombie plague in the water, not to mention killing all the residents, it can even raise an army of undead in an instant.
"Then he went specifically towards the Dragon Pirates, and later took away the corpses of the Dragon and other fish-men... It proved that the power of the deceased could be used by him, and he took a fancy to the naturally powerful body of the fish-men.
Quality."
No wonder the marshal can ask the question personally!
This ability may only be a small trouble in the East China Sea. It may cause panic and headache at most, but once the opponent comes to the Grand Line and gets the corpses of those strong people...
Aoki's eyes showed no signs of sleepiness, and he made a serious evaluation.
"Act of God!"
Although I am weak, this ability is just like storms, earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions, which are natural disasters that ordinary people cannot resist!
A brand new kind of undead natural disaster!
Qing Pheasant rubbed his eyebrows and said, "To be honest, the reward is too low."
In his eyes, this ability alone is enough to set a reward of over 100 million.
He would rather see ten or eight more supernovas come to Shampoo this year than see a guy like this appear.
"But the crime he committed is only worth this reward... The reward is inflated, but it will make people curious about his abilities and trace the source."
"When the news spreads, it will trigger a riot in the East China Sea."
Ms. He shook her head and sighed helplessly.
She could imagine that if the people of Donghai, who had long been suspicious of the ghost ship incident, knew that there was such a terrifying guy living around them, it would only cause greater chaos.
Everyone fled the East China Sea?
It's not impossible.
"So the Flying Squirrel temporarily put down all the tasks at hand, and went all out to hunt for Lovett, trying to destroy him before he could grow up."
Warring States asked.
"So, you have no objection?"
The two shook their heads. It was a serious matter and of course they had no objection.
The bounty is just for outsiders to see. The real threat level has nothing to do with the bounty. Nicole Robin has a bounty of 79 million, but even the Five Old Stars are very concerned about it and have never relaxed their search efforts in the past twenty years.
"That's enough, go back and wait for the notification."
Warring States suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of murderous intent: "This year has been chaotic enough, we don't need more commotion!"
After Lovett made the choice to become the Black Earl, the Navy no longer had to be so timid.
There are no more victims, only navy and pirates.
…
The East China Sea, the nameless sea.
"Ah Qiu!"
Lying on the beach chair, Lovett rubbed the tip of his nose.
"What's this ominous premonition about?"
As a mage, Lovett trusted his sixth sense very much, so he decisively closed his eyes and dispersed his mental power.
"The connection is very weak. The flying squirrel's warship is still far away from me...who could it be?"
Lovett frowned.
Besides the flying squirrel, is there anyone else in the East China Sea who would pose a threat to me?
"Well, maybe he's a guy from the Grand Line!"
"after all……"
Wow!
Pulling away the newspaper in his hand, Lovett took a sip from his wine glass and raised the corners of his mouth.
"I'm considered a celebrity now, so it's normal for people to care about me."
On the front of the newspaper, a portrait of Lovett was printed occupying the entire page. It showed him holding his cane with both hands and looking cold when he was confronting Smoker in Cocoa West Village.
Even when he was killed, he never expected that there would be someone in the navy specifically responsible for taking photos.
Where are the elites you promised?
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
"The Strongest Pirate in the East China Sea! The Black Earl!"
The font is black and bold, stretched from the upper left corner of the screen to the lower right, and standing on the far right is the scarlet number "55,000,000"!
A big pirate with a bounty of over 50 million has appeared in the East China Sea?
This was a hot spot that "Big News" Morgans, the owner of the World Economic News, could not miss, so he directly took pictures to make money and hype it up.
So there is a line of small words at the bottom of the screen.
[Is this a sign that the weakest sea is about to rise? 】
"It's good to have money. If you talk nonsense, you won't be afraid of being invited to tea by the navy..."
Silently shaking his head, Lovett put down his wine glass.
It didn't surprise him that the Navy concealed the atrocities of the Dragon Pirates and blamed him. What Captain Mouse of Branch 16 did was outrageous. If word spread, it would not be a bad issue, but an issue that would trigger a riot in an instant!
However, also for the sake of image, they helped Lovet hide his former name of "Triangle Breaker" and what he had done, and defined the deaths of Mengka and others as "pirate cruelty".
"Justice!"
"It's really hard..."
Necromantic Magic·Green Flame!
Bang!
A faint green flame appeared on the fingertips, gradually swallowing the newspaper.
Lovett lay back in his chair and drummed his fingers on the side of the cup.
"After devouring the soul of the fishman, the wound has healed a lot again, but if you can't see the threshold of the official mage, you can't be careless."
"Is there anyone else in the East China Sea that I should kill?"
"Roar!"
The black knight was waiting at the side with an ice bucket. Hearing this, he took out a reward notice from his pocket.
