Chapter 144 How Many Floors Can a Bag of Rice Carry? Porusalino's Goal Is a Home Run!
The news brought by the major was like thunder exploding in the conference room, and everyone showed horrified expressions, even Porusalino was no exception. The Warring States Marshal's eyes widened even more, and the metal stick in his hand was accidentally crushed.
"The Golden Lion attacked Seken Island?! He also floated Seken Island into the sky?!"
"Yes! And he is now controlling Saiken Island to move in the direction of our navy headquarters!!"
"That crazy bastard! He actually attacked Saiken Island...Does he know what he is doing?!!"
The Warring States Marshal gritted his teeth and said, listening to his tone, he wanted to cut the golden lion into pieces.
The expressions on the faces of General Zefa, Lieutenant General He and Lieutenant General Garp were also ugly - they knew the secret of END PIONT, so they knew exactly what the Golden Lion's behavior meant.
"Marshal of the Warring States Period!"
Porusalino suddenly spoke at this time. With a smile on his face, he instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the conference room, "The mere defeat of the Pirate Golden Lion is nothing to be afraid of. We have the Lieutenant General of our headquarters. Horikoshi, you can kill him beyond Marine Fando!"
"...Porusalino! You!"
Lieutenant General Horikoshi was stunned for a moment, and then he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. When he heard the news reported by the major, he was not only shocked, but also ashamed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl under. At this moment, he was trying hard to downplay his presence, but unexpectedly, he was directly cueed by Porusalino.
This means that Lieutenant General Horikoshi's cultural literacy is not high, otherwise he would point angrily at Sakaski and Porusalino, and then scold them for "working together", "singing in harmony", "killing people and killing people"...
Porusalino's speech, which was equivalent to a slap in the face, made the atmosphere in the entire conference room lively again in an instant, and many lieutenant generals laughed out loud this time.
At their level, people like Yamamoto and Horikoshi who have endured seniority and become lieutenant generals are in the minority after all, and most of them are capable. Therefore, although it is difficult to express their feelings to colleagues because of their face, many people actually look down on them in their hearts.
Now these two guys were slapped in the face for pretending to be cool. Porusalino was the first to add insult to injury, so they naturally laughed out of their past disdain for them.
The Warring States Marshal couldn't help but relax his tense face and said in a helpless tone:
"Porusalino, we are in a meeting to talk about business! The situation is serious now! Don't joke! Be serious..."
"Yes~"
Porusalino raised his hands and said, "I'm obedient."
"Ahem,"
Marshal Sengoku cleared his throat and continued, "Unfortunately, Major General Polusalino's speculation has become a reality... That crazy bastard from Golden Lion really wants to use this crazy way to retaliate against our navy! And! He also chose Saiken Island!”
"Marshal Warring States, is there anything special about this Saiken Island?"
Sakaski asked with a frown.
Marshal Warring States looked at Sakaski, then looked around the entire conference room, and finally his eyes met Lieutenant General He. Lieutenant General He nodded and slowly said:
"The matter is over, just tell me, Sengoku, and don't worry about your qualifications. As the chief staff officer of the Navy Headquarters, I authorize you to tell this information."
As soon as Lieutenant General He finished speaking, Admiral Zefa also spoke: "As the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters and the highest combat power of the World Government, I also authorize you, Sengoku, to tell the truth about this matter."
Everyone in the conference room held their breath and focused their attention on the three people talking at the front - Is there any secret in Saiken Island that even their level doesn't know?
"Forget it, I'll just tell you."
Marshal Warring States finally nodded slightly and said in an extremely serious tone: "What I am going to say next, I ask everyone to keep it in mind and never disclose it to anyone outside this conference room. Anyone who violates it will be punished." It will be characterized as the most severe crime of 'treason from the navy'."
"Also, you don't need to ask questions or doubt. Just remember what I say."
After saying these words, the Warring States Marshal looked at the young major who came in to report the news. Only then did the major realize his reaction, trembled all over, saluted with a military salute and trotted out of the conference room.
After using his knowledge and knowledge to sense that the major had indeed left a distance, the Warring States Marshal spoke amid the confused and inexplicably nervous eyes of everyone in the conference room:
"The legend of END POINT that has been circulating in the New World is true. The Saiken Island where Golden Lion attacked this time is one of them! For some reasons, the government hid the secret of END POINT. Although I don't know that bastard Golden Lion How did he know this secret that only a very few people know? But if nothing else happens, the Saiken Island that he floated now contains at least enough magma to submerge the entire Marineford..."
"In other words, once the Golden Lion drops Secon Island from the sky above Marine Fando, we have nothing to do. The island is like an oversized bomb and cannot be touched at all."
After Marshal Warring States finished speaking, the conference room was quiet for at least dozens of seconds before General Zefa said in a deep voice:
"In other words, we must not let the Golden Lion get close to Marinevando, and we must not let him get close to any island inhabited by civilians - the best way is to deal with him in the empty sky below."
"That's right,"
Marshal Warring States nodded, "But the problem is that although we don't want to admit it, it is extremely difficult to defeat the Golden Lion in the sky. Even if he has lost his legs and right arm now, facing the dependence on Even though Yuebu and Shao come to fight in the air, he still has absolute suppression."
"You must have read the information about the battle between the Golden Lion and Roger reported by Major General Polusalino last time, right? The Golden Lion's fluttering fruit was developed by him to the point of awakening, and he obtained a An air field that integrates offense and defense. The strength of this air field can easily control Roger, and you all should have a pretty good idea of what level Roger is..."
"Do you have any good suggestions? About how to fight against the Golden Lion..."
Marshal Sengoku's question caused everyone in the conference room to frown, except for one person, Porusalino.
Marshal Sengoku's eyes circled around the entire conference room, and finally landed on Porusalino, Sakaski next to him. The latter also looked at him at this time, as if he had something to say.
"Sakaski, do you have any ideas?"
Marshal Warring States asked.
"Marshal Warring States, is the magma stored in Saiken Island ordinary magma?"
"Yes, although Saiken Island is one of the three END POINTs, the magma stored inside it is just ordinary magma."
"If it were ordinary magma, I could control the amount that would submerge Marinevando."
Sakaski said with a serious face, "I can make these magma adhere to me as the center, and then I can sink them into the sea."
"you can?!"
The Warring States Marshal was stunned for a moment, then smiled. Being familiar with Sakaski, he knew very well that Sakaski would not lie. Since the latter said he could control so much amount, he must be able to control this much or even more amount of magma.
In fact, Marshal Sengoku also thought of Sakaski, who was a rock berry fruit user. But he didn't think that Sakaski could control so much magma - it was enough to flood the entire Marineland, with the amount reaching tens of thousands of tons...
"Well, I can. It's just that I'm worried that the Golden Lion will not let anyone come into contact with Seken Island, and my ability must allow me to enter the magma to activate... And once I control such a large amount of magma, then I will I won’t have the energy to care about anything else.”
"Really... Indeed, these two problems must be solved."
The smile on the Warring States Marshal's face faded and turned into a frown once again.
Seeing this, Porusalino shrugged slightly: "Marshal Warring States, I actually have an idea that can solve these two problems faced by Sakaski."
"Huh? Say it quickly!"
"Actually, I was also inspired by Lieutenant General Garp's Iron Fist,"
Porusalino smiled at Garp who showed an unclear expression, then looked at Sakaski, and said with a slightly wary look in the latter's doubtful eyes: "It's just that my idea may be different." I have wronged you a little bit, Sakaski... I want to ask, will you resist the beating?"
(This wave, this wave is called the preview version of Light Speed Pluto!)
…
Just as the senior naval admirals of Malinfando were discussing the big time to fight against the Golden Lion, there was an unknown island in the New World where there were many cherry blossom trees, and many cherry blossoms were blooming out of season.
"Gula la la la la! So you're going to the South China Sea?"
Whitebeard, one of the strongest men in the world, laughed at the man opposite him - that was his friend, the legendary pirate Gol D. Roger who had just won the title of Pirate King not long ago.
"Yes! When I sailed there before, there was a little girl there who was obsessed with me... I promised her that after circling the world for a week, I would find her, marry her, and be an ordinary husband and father. …”
"Do Rayleigh and the others know?"
"I was the first person to leave the ship after the pirate group was disbanded. How could they know?"
Roger shrugged, "Well, but they might know...after all, I like to talk drunkenly when I'm drunk, hahahahahaha!"
"You guy, it's true! Gu la la la la la!"
"But having said that, although I like to talk while drinking, I am serious this time, Newgate,"
Roger suppressed his smile and said in a serious tone, "I can tell you the road to Ravdru, and I can also tell you what secrets there are."
"The road to Rafdru? The secret of Rafdru? If I need you, my opponent, to tell you something like that, why would I be a pirate?"
Whitebeard said while disapprovingly filling the huge wine bowl in front of him with wine.
His tone and expression made it seem as if Roger was talking to him not about the location and secrets of the most exciting island in the world, but about gossip that wasn't even worth fifty beliries.
"Besides, Roger, you should know very well... I don't care about gold and silver treasures, exciting secrets, or reputation... My sons, my family, this is It’s what I really care about! Just tell anyone who wants to know Rafdrew’s location and secrets!”
Roger looked at the white beard smiling from the bottom of his heart, and couldn't help but smile similarly.
"Sure enough, I am right to come to you for this last drink, Newgate..."
"Gula la la la la! By the way, Roger, have you thought about the name of your and that little girl's child? It's a bit early, but as a father, you have to have this awareness early!"
"Of course! I've already thought about it! If it's a girl, let's call her Ann, if it's a boy..."
Roger looked at his favorite knife that was put aside, and the corners of his mouth raised, "Call it Ace!"
"I also said that if you haven't figured it out yet, I'll help you think of one...it seems like there's no need for it! Gu la la la la la!"
"But this doesn't stop us from drinking! Hahahaha! Come on! Cheers! Newgate! A friend I will never see again!"
"Goo-la-la-la-la! Cheers! Never see you again bastard friend Roger!"
…
For the Golden Lion, flying to the Navy Headquarters from a huge floating island is not a particularly strenuous task. Even now, his strength is not as strong as before, and this island is extremely huge - after all, in his heyday, he could float dozens of islands and hundreds of warships into the sky at the same time, and achieve the effect of permanently stranding them.
A lion is still a lion, even if he is thin or lame, he is still a lion.
…
Thousands of meters in the air, the golden lion holding a cigar was controlling Saiken Island to move forward at a constant speed with a relaxed and comfortable expression. After he successfully floated Saiken Island into the sky, he saw the large-scale explosion caused by this. After the volcano erupted, he no longer had any worries about the success of his plan.
He is invincible in the air. As long as he wants to throw something somewhere, no one can stop him. As for the specially modified Saiken Island that contains a massive amount of magma, once he throws it down, let alone Marine Headquarters Marine Vando, even the Holy Land Marie Joa, the Golden Lion doesn't think there is any chance of surviving.
Of course, to be honest, the Golden Lion did consider the idea of throwing Saken Island at Mary Joa at first. It would definitely be more satisfying to retaliate this way. But his only experience of flying over Mariejoia made him deeply fearful of Mariejoia - there were people and things planted by the World Government in the sky above Mariejoia, and he had sensed it from a distance. And broke out in a cold sweat.
This time, he floated on Saiken Island and flew over the Red Earth Continent, trying to stay as far away from Mary Joa as possible. Otherwise, he would have reached Malinfando a few hours ago.
"At this speed, in another fifty minutes, I will be able to see Malinfando who is about to be destroyed..."
"Rescuing Ziggs was a wise choice. The Saiken Island, which had been transformed by his ability, was filled with massive amounts of deadly magma inside, and the rocks and sand outside turned into a powerful force that would explode violently at the slightest touch. Explosives..."
"Even if Garp, the most powerful individual in the navy, can break through my territory and approach this island, there is nothing he can do... The only thing he can do is watch a huge and gorgeous explosion occur on this island! Jie hahahahaha!”
"I can't wait to see the scene where Marinefando is destroyed...when I think of that scene!...Huh? That...is it finally here! Navy!"
Looking at the familiar little black spots appearing on the sea below him, the golden lion sneered.
"Would you choose to attack me outside Marinefando? A smart but useless approach... How many floors does a bag of rice have to carry!!"
…
On the sea below the Golden Lion, nine large naval warships were lined up in a formation. Although the artillery and sailors on these naval ships could certainly not cause any harm to the Golden Lion, considering that they might play a disruptive role in the battle, the Warring States Marshal also sent them out.
The larger warship in the middle of the nine warships carried the key and only two figures in the fight against the Golden Lion - Porusalino and Sakaski. The former serves as the batsman and hits the critical ball; the latter serves as the ball and turns it into the critical ball with his own fruitful ability.
In addition to them, the last of the three natural monsters in the Navy Headquarters, the frozen fruit ability user Kuzan, is also on this ship. Although Kuzan's strength at this time could not catch up with his two seniors, his frozen fruit ability was able to restrain the magma in Saiken Island from a certain perspective, so the Warring States Marshal also asked him to participate in this operation. It's a little insurance.
On the deck of the warship, General Zefa looked at the golden lion in the sky and stood with his hands behind his back. Porusalino and Sakaski stood behind him on the left and right like underworld thugs. Kuzan, a young colonel, was not qualified to stand with these three big guys and show off at this time. He was leaning far in front of the cabin alone.
"This guy Shi Ji is really daring...but I have to admit that he does have this strength..."
Regarding General Zefa's emotion, Sakaski expressed his views with a serious face:
"No matter how powerful a pirate is, he is just a pirate. This scum of the sea will pay the price for his arrogance today! This time, I will prevent him from even entering Impel Down!"
For pirates with powerful abilities like Golden Lion, the world government generally would not choose to kill them. Because their Devil Fruit is a big trouble. Once they are killed, the fruit will spread to the world again, most likely causing the next disaster.
Therefore, the World Government built the sixth level of infinite hell in Impelton specifically to imprison these troublesome pirates with powerful abilities. The Golden Lion was treated this way before. It's just that his attack on Saiken Island, one of the three END POINTs, and his brazen attack on the Navy Headquarters really angered the top brass of the World Government. Before setting off, Marshal Sengoku specifically allowed Sakaski and others to attack the Golden Lion. Kill them - if they can kill them.
"I understand your thoughts and feelings, but Sakaski, please don't get the focus of your mission wrong..."
Porusalino said slowly from the side, "You are responsible for solving the magma on Saiken Island, and we are responsible for solving the golden lion and Saiken Island..."
"I know!"
As soon as Sakaski finished his slightly dissatisfied words, a major who was responsible for delivering the order ran over, stood near the three of them and saluted:
"Report! General Zefa! All ships are ready for battle! They can start fighting at any time!"
"good!"
General Zefa nodded, "Pass my order! All battleships will follow the flagship in thirty seconds and fire together! Use up all ammunition!"
"yes!"
The messenger flew to convey General Zefa's order, and General Zefa turned to look at Sakaski and Porusalino: "The bombardment of the battleship is just to consume the golden lion's physical strength. The key to the battle will still be in a while." It depends on you two, you can only succeed and not fail!"
"clear!"
"Don't worry! With me as a good batsman and Sakaski as a good ball, I will make sure the arrangements for the Golden Lion are clear!"
…
"Fire!!"
As the flagship where General Zefa and others were located carried out the first artillery fire, the remaining eight warships also began to fire "ammunition-lighting" at the golden lion in the air.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!!!"
The roar of nearly a thousand heavy cannons on the nine warships was like thunder, leaving the entire sea area with no other sounds except the roar of the cannons - the cannons equipped on these most advanced naval warships are not ordinary cannons, but It is a 128-pound gun that represents the highest artillery technology in the world. Just one cannonball can easily destroy a medium-sized pirate ship.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is precisely because of such powerful artillery that the navy can completely suppress the increasingly rampant pirates on the sea - under the salvo of such powerful artillery, any battle is invincible.
But the situation is different today...the opponent these artillery must face is the golden lion, the man who dominates the sea from the sky. They seem not even qualified to tickle him.
(Hey, I’m afraid you’re not the Golden Lion, but Magneto...)
Looking at the scene in the sky, Porusalino couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart - tens of thousands of powerful cannonballs screamed out of the barrel, and when they were about to approach the golden lion's body, they It suddenly lost momentum and stopped suddenly. Then they floated quietly around the body of the golden lion, accumulating more and more until they turned into a dense black mass.
Just like the scene where the powerful mutant Magneto controls missiles in the movie Porusalino watched before traveling through time, any metal is controlled by his will.
It's just that the Golden Lion does not control magnetism like Magneto, but controls these cannonballs by manipulating the air within a certain range around him. From a certain perspective, this ability is more powerful. Because this means that within the realm of the Golden Lion, the things he can control are not just a single metal, but extend to everything - whether it is cannonballs, fists... or slashes, energy waves...
ps: 6k big chapter! If nothing else happens, there will be no more today. I have to sort out the plot and give this volume a ending.
ps: The movie version of The Strongest Enemy is really good. I recently watched it again! Kuzan’s last sentence was so pretentious!
"Don't cry! Isn't it handsome for a man to carry out his beliefs throughout his life?"
