Chapter 199 Porusalino: War at the Top (X); War at the Bottom, Total War (√),
Fishman Island.
Under the pretext of buying desserts for Porusalino, Kuzan swaggered into the Mermaid Cafe from the main entrance. During the recent period, the cooperation between the Navy and the Ryugu City Guards was very effective, and a large number of pirates and slaves were gathered. The dealers were hanged on the ice tower at the entrance of Dragon Palace City. The order of the entire Fish-Man Island was obviously improved, and Kuzan also had the opportunity to relax a little.
Of course, his purpose in coming to the Mermaid Cafe was not to completely relax - he would definitely be stationed on Fish-Man Island for a long time in the future, in order to build a good relationship with the residents of Fish-Man Island and to appease his emotions during this period. As they were in turmoil, Kuzan wandered the streets from time to time as an ordinary person instead of a law enforcer, which was obviously a good idea.
(What should I eat today? Oysters or sea urchin? But it seems that taking too much is not good...)
Kuzan, who was so engrossed in his thoughts, didn't even notice a figure rushing towards him - before he could recover, a pretty mermaid waiter ran into his arms with excitement on his face.
"Hey hey...wait?"
Kuzan was caught off guard by this "sudden attack" - his hegemonic power had not yet reached the level where he could sense non-hostile targets at any time.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and raised his hands instantly without touching the opponent at all. Otherwise, with the amount of customers and attention at the Mermaid Café, within an hour the rumor that "human navy commander Kuzan took advantage of the mermaid waiter" would spread throughout most of the Fishman Island.
"You are Major General Kuzan, right? Commander of the Navy!"
"Uh... I'm Kuzan. Excuse me, this beautiful lady, what can I do for you?"
Kuzan said this while scratching his head, and at the same time distanced himself from the excited mermaid lady without any trace - the latter's big watery eyes and the soft and delicate touch when she came into contact with him really made him a little attracted. Can't stand it.
"Major General Kuzan! Please help find Sister Celia!"
The beautiful mermaid lady's crying voice made Kuzan's eyes instantly turn cold. "She is a waiter here like me, and she has disappeared for three days! We can't contact her at all!"
"...?!"
…
"Vice Admiral Porusalino, we on Fishman Island have fully felt the Navy's professionalism and sincerity!"
In Dragon Palace City, the smiling King Neptune took the statistics table just submitted by Minister Zuo and nodded with satisfaction, "In just about ten days, the security level on the island has improved significantly... …If this continues, Fish-Man Island will definitely be able to achieve true tranquility and peace!”
Porusalino naturally felt the unabashed optimism and joy in King Neptune's tone, but he did not immediately agree with the other party's statement, but sipped the tea slowly.
"...Lieutenant General Porusalino, are you still not satisfied with the current progress of the cleaning operation?"
Princess Otohime was a little confused when she saw that Porusalino didn't respond, and carefully considered her words, "Although the naval soldiers you brought are all elites, their number is limited after all, and they are the first time with our Ryugu Castle Guards. Cooperating on this kind of thing, so I personally think that it is amazing to achieve such results..."
"Princess Otohime, you misunderstood,"
Porusalino placed the tea cup on the saucer, took out the nail scissors from his pocket, and trimmed his nails calmly while explaining to the confused couple:
"Even the most stern Admiral Zefa in our Navy can't find any fault with the work performance of the Navy and Ryugu City Guards during this period, let alone me? I just thought of something else and think we shouldn't It’s too early to be happy…”
"……Something else?"
King Neptune and Princess Otohime looked at each other.
"If you review the statistics table again, you will clearly find that whether it is the Dragon Palace Guards or our navy, the number of prisoners arrested and the number of slaves rescued will increase on the fifth day. Showing an almost cliff-like downward trend..."
"Is this because we have already caught all the criminals? Or does it mean that there really are no more of these scum in Fish-Man Island? No, this can only mean one thing - these guys have secretly formed an organization, taking with them those who have been The victims of captivity are systematically hidden, waiting for our moment of respite.”
King Neptune was stunned and asked softly tentatively: "...You mean, Fishman Street?"
As a veritable Great Knight of the Sea, Neptune is naturally not a mediocre person. It's just that Fish-Man Island has been oppressed by pirates and slave traders for a long time, so he just saw the intuitive data that the country's security has improved. For a moment, I was just overwhelmed with joy.
And after Porusalino woke him up, he instantly thought of the strange key to this - the reason why foreign pirates and slave traders were so closely hunted by the navy and Ryugu City Guards that they suddenly appeared on a large scale. The reason why they lurked must be because the local forces of Fish-Man Island provided them with protection, not only a hiding place, but also timely intelligence.
Looking at the entire Fish-Man Island, the only ones who have the reason and ability to do such a thing are the Fish-Man Street that has not been attacked yet, where the extremely racist Aaron and his younger brothers are entrenched...
Porusalino nodded slightly, confirming King Neptune's statement, but he did not tell the latter that Minister Guy, one of the three giants of the World Government Representative Group, was actually the biggest traitor.
He just continued:
"But this is not the worst... According to the latest information just sent from the Navy Headquarters, the monsters from the New World who realized that our Navy will be stationed on Fish-Man Island for a long time in the future have finally begun to take action. The World's Strongest Man Whitebeard , has brought the main force of the Whitebeard Pirates, heading straight towards Fish-Man Island! The so-called internal and external troubles - Fish-Man Island's most dangerous moment is about to come!"
"!!!"
…
According to the original plot setting of One Piece, where the time traveler Porosalino did not exist, after the Great Pirate Age began, Princess Otohime, who advocated peaceful coexistence with mankind, died due to the assassination of extremist racial elements, and Fish-Man Island fell into an unprecedented situation. In turmoil.
In order to prevent the situation on Fish-Man Island from deteriorating further, Neptune, the lord of Ryugu City, who was no longer able to protect his own people, drank sworn wine with the great pirate Whitebeard, and borrowed the weapons of the Whitebeard Pirates from the other party. The flag serves as the protective umbrella of Fishman Island.
This situation continued until after the Dingding War, Whitebeard died in the battle, and the White Group's vitality was severely damaged. Fishman Island had no choice but to once again seek shelter from another big pirate, namely BIGMOM, by trading desserts.
However, since Porusalino became a time traveler and actively intervened in the fate of Fish-Man Island, such a situation will naturally never happen again - the Navy and the World Government will soon become the new protective umbrella of Fish-Man Island.
But as we all know, Fishman Island serves as the hub connecting the paradise and the new world. Countless elite pirates who fought from the paradise passed through here to the new world, and became the nourishment of those monster pirate groups. Therefore, Fish-Man Island is of great significance to the major giants in the new world.
Therefore, under such circumstances, if the navy and the world government can control Fishman Island, it will be equivalent to controlling the source of fresh blood for the major forces in the new world and controlling their future - any person with a slightly normal mind The great pirates would probably not allow this to happen easily.
Whitebeard, who is leading the main force to Fish-Man Island, is naturally no exception.
It is true that in the original plot setting of One Piece, Jinbe, who was born on Fish-Man Island, believed that Whitebeard chose to shelter Fish-Man Island out of loyalty and helping the weak. But the problem is that loyalty and interests are not completely opposite. They can certainly coexist - it is said that Whitebeard only protects the Fish-Man Island, including Porusalino, because of loyalty and his own character, and not because of the interests of the White Group. Many people, including me, don’t believe it anyway.
By the way, although they are both New World giants, the Whitebeard Pirates are obviously more dependent on Fish-Man Island than the other two - the BIGMOM Pirates benefit from Charlotte Lingling's Soul Fruit and The strange abilities of her children, even without the injection of fresh blood, can still maintain strong power and combat power. It is even said that Charlotte Lingling can transform into a fertility machine and give birth on her own; while the Beasts Pirates recruit Most of them are chaotic and ruthless people. Such guys are everywhere in the new world, so they never worry about shortage of people; only the Whitebeard Pirates, although they are the most powerful and have the largest number, most of them are The "normal people" who came from paradise chose to attach themselves to Whitebeard. And once Fish-Man Island is controlled by the World Government, they will be the hardest hit...
"So do you have to prepare in advance to match the pace of war... Then I can only go to the Warring States Marshal to shake people!"
After bidding farewell to the restless Neptune couple, Porusalino walked towards the Mermaid Cafe and took out the phone bug.
Although it will certainly not be as brutal as the War on the Top, the navy must be prepared in terms of scene and posture - this is a conflict that will determine the navy's future voice!
Although for the revolutionary army, the previous looting of Heavenly Gold and the killing of Tianlong people were actions of extraordinary significance. But their fundamental goal, or most important task, is to plan subversive revolutions that can shake the key rule of the world government.
Therefore, not only to test the strength and development results of the Revolutionary Army since its establishment, but also to make a further voice in the world and arouse people's ideological awakening, Long and Lucy, after careful consideration, decided to lead the Revolutionary Army to launch a campaign in the new world. Big move.
And since it is a major operation, the alternative targets they selected are naturally quite heavyweight:
Alternative target one: Hayden Kingdom on Hyrule Island.
This kingdom is one of the few independent kingdoms in the New World. It has a sparse population, is close to the main waterway, and has an army of less than 100,000. If it weren't for the dangerous terrain, the unity within the country, and the construction of many strong fortresses, this kingdom would have become a paradise for pirates.
Alternative target two: Clifford's Kingdom on Brady Island.
Brady Island is very large, a large island similar to Alabasta Island, with rich resources. The Clifford Kingdom, which was founded on this island, is therefore one of the most powerful countries in the New World, with a population of tens of millions, an army of millions, and it has also joined the World Government.
Alternative target three: Bevis Kingdom on Jasper Island.
Beavis Island is not small, it is a large island. Although there are many wastelands on the island, it is rich in iron ore and other metal resources. By selling minerals and seeking asylum from the nearby Whitebeard Pirates, the Beavis Kingdom has developed quite well. , with a population of three million and an army of two hundred thousand.
To be honest, these three goals all have relatively large "rewards" and relatively high risks for the current revolutionary army, but in the end, Long and Lucy still defeated Klee, the most powerful Chinese force in these three countries. Ford Kingdom singled out.
Since we are going to take a major action, let’s carry it out to the end~
…
The location is the Kingdom of Brunai, the headquarters of the revolutionary army in the North Sea, in the spacious palace courtyard.
Lucy, the current chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army, spreads a map of the entire "strategic" Brady Island obtained from corrupt officials of the world government on the stone table next to the fountain.
"Let's sort out the known information now: First of all, Brady Island is a large island with various terrains such as forests, inland rivers, mountains and plains, and the only Clifford Kingdom on the island owns nine buildings including the royal city. There are a city and many small towns, including two port cities. It has a population of nearly 10 million, an army that is said to be one million but is actually 400,000, and nearly 50 large and small warships... In addition, there are many powerful people in the Clifford Kingdom. Of the generals, according to Long, each of them can almost stand up to a Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral on his own."
Lucy said this while pointing at the map.
Xiong, who also came to the Brunai Palace, then said:
"It is worth mentioning that the timing of our action this time is actually quite favorable to us. The current king of Clifford Kingdom, Dusco IX, is seriously ill and does not know when he will die. Although the eldest prince has the right to inherit the throne power, but several other princes are also eyeing the throne. It can be said that the political situation is very complicated, and the country is currently extremely disunified..."
"Information about these princes, first of all, the eldest prince Dusco. The first heir to the Clifford throne, he is also a well-known swordsman in his own right. He is not weak in strength and has many nobles and military generals. support."
"The second prince is Burton. He is also an outstanding swordsman, but unlike his elder brother, he has a very high prestige among civilians and is quite supported by the people."
"Then there is the third prince Kelsi. He has certain talents and is supported by many nobles. But in fact, he is arrogant and arrogant. It can be said that although his vision is high, his own abilities are far from enough..."
"The fourth prince, Darren, is an artist and a famous master of stone carving. Although he has the support of some nobles because of his mother, he himself does not seem to have much interest in the throne."
"Finally, the fifth prince, Benson, is also the one that Mr. Long reminded us to focus on. He is a superhuman exchange fruit user. His ability has been demonstrated by being able to exchange places between himself and an item within a certain range."
"This is the current situation of the royal family in Clifford Kingdom,"
Xiong concluded, "If our operation can proceed smoothly, the fourth prince should be a good target to utilize."
Callas, who was personally recruited by Long Suo and has now become a senior cadre of the revolutionary army and participated in the discussion in the courtyard of the Brunai Palace, nodded and said thoughtfully:
"Then let me talk about the military situation in Clifford Kingdom. In fact, it is very simple. The most prosperous city in Clifford Kingdom is the royal capital 'Naco'. Except for the two port cities where heavy troops are stationed, most of the other armies are They are all stationed in the royal capital 'Nako', and basically all the famous strong men in the kingdom are gathered here. Therefore, we only need to capture this place, and we can almost say that we have won the Clifford Kingdom."
"As for the troops we can currently use, I have also made some statistics,"
Kara paused and continued, "Your Excellency Moria has a total of 2,500 zombie soldiers, of which 2,200 are ordinary zombie soldiers, 200 are elites with considerable combat effectiveness, and 100 are specially enhanced individuals; the Revolutionary Army combat troops can invest 3,000 People, 5 ability cadres... With these troops and a few of our senior cadres, there should be no problem in dealing with Nako's army. But considering that the world government may send strong support troops after the war breaks out, it's best for us It is to quickly capture the royal family members and use the influence of the royal family to seize the Clifford Kingdom from top to bottom..."
"On this point, Long is actually already taking action,"
Lucy smiled and said, "The reason why the princes in Clifford's kingdom have not started a direct fierce battle for the throne is simply because although the old king is seriously ill, he can actually last for a while. Therefore, the military and political power is still controlled by him, and the princes are also afraid of their father who was once famous for his tyranny..."
"When the old king dies suddenly, the powerful Clifford Kingdom will surely fall into turmoil and internal strife due to the battle among the princes for the throne... That is the best time for us to take advantage of the chaos and act!"
