Chapter 302: Marine Headquarters Half-Destroyed, Golden Lion Defeated
Chapter 302: Marine Headquarters Half-Destroyed, Golden Lion Defeated
A new war of the century has broken out.
This is the first time since the establishment of the World Government that someone has openly led a large army to attack the Navy Headquarters.
Even though this army is called pirates, their strength is incomparable to that of ordinary armies.
Kaido, who was located on Academy Island, heard about the great battle, but he did not take any action.
It's not time to fight a decisive battle with the World Government yet.
Moreover, the Golden Lion did not send him any requests for help or any requests for alliance.
Of course, Kaido doesn't mind watching the show.
When he arrived at Water 7, the first half of the Grand Line, the great battle at Marine Headquarters was at its climax.
Golden Lion fought against two opponents, fiercely battling the combined forces of Garp and Sengoku.
His fleet of 60 ships, totaling approximately 6 pirates, launched a frenzied attack on the Marine Headquarters like a tsunami.
Although most of the 6 pirates were of average strength, there were still three or five admirals among them.
There was one expert, including one with the strength of a deputy emperor.
In terms of overall quality, it is definitely inferior to the Beasts and the increasingly powerful Whitebeard Pirates.
However, its scale is slightly inferior to that of the peak White Group.
In contrast, the Navy was unprepared, or rather, did not anticipate that Shiki would be so reckless as to directly attack the Navy Headquarters.
The navy's total strength is only about 5.
Of course, the navy has a much greater advantage in terms of high-end combat capabilities.
The 12 lieutenant generals at headquarters included both older and younger officers, but the majority were from the younger generation.
All three admiral candidates—Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru—are present.
In addition, Gion and Kake, whose military ranks were not high but whose combat strength had reached the level of lieutenant general, also participated in the battle.
In addition, there's Garp and Sengoku, who are locked in a fierce battle with Shiki.
Although the navy is small in number, its combat power is almost absolutely overwhelming.
Kaido took off from Water 7, carrying several Den Den Mushi he had trained, as well as Morgans himself and Sunny.
The three of them were broadcasting live from high above the sea near Marineford.
Standing atop a cloud of flames, they witnessed firsthand the tiny ants on either side clashing and bursting into bursts of blood.
Aokiji froze the sea inside the crescent-shaped harbor of the Marine Headquarters, creating a sufficiently wide battleground.
The Golden Lion wielded his twin swords with reckless abandon, slashing at Sengoku and Garp.
Sengoku reveals the golden body of a Buddha, and Garp tears off his shirt to reveal his strong muscles.
The three engaged in a battle even more brutal than the World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament.
This live broadcast of the war, once again through the Beasts' broadcasting channels, allowed people all over the world to experience it as if they were there.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The pirates' attack progressed from initial fierce advances to a gradual stalemate after the Navy went all out, and finally to the encirclement and annihilation of the pirates after reinforcements from various branches arrived.
The area was surrounded on three sides but lacked one, yet countless fleet troops were ambushed on both sides of the only escape route.
On the third day, the pirate army finally could not withstand the huge casualties and began to flee.
The escape routes and ambushes deliberately left by the navy began to take effect.
1... 2...
The army, which had grown to over 4 men before its collapse, was reduced to a mere few thousand who managed to escape during the devastating defeat.
The remaining nearly 4 people were either captured boat after boat or their boats were sunk and fell into the sea, their fate unknown.
As for Shiki, the initiator of this war, it was no surprise that he suffered a crushing defeat under the combined attack of Garp and Sengoku.
Before the battle, Golden Lion may have wanted to not only save Roger, but also take the opportunity to completely defeat the World Government.
But now, looking at the crescent-shaped plaza that was completely stained with blood, he finally realized his own strength.
"Hehehe..."
The golden lion, its limbs broken and twisted, lay on the ground, gazing up at the gray sky.
"Kaido brat, no wonder you haven't made a move against the World Government yet..."
So it turns out they really couldn't beat them.
No, to be precise, he hadn't even completely fought against the navy.
after the war.
Sengoku, his entire body wrapped in bandages, looked back at the main fortress castle behind him, which was almost half destroyed, and gave an order that he would never have given before.
"Execute all the pirates captured in this war in public at the crescent-shaped plaza of Marine Headquarters!!"
Sengoku already knew that Kaido was broadcasting live from the sky not far away, but he still arranged for his own people to set up live Den Den Mushi (snail-shaped electric devices) to transmit the live signal to the whole world.
In the presence of countless people around the world, against the backdrop of the dilapidated Naval Headquarters fortress.
More than 3 captured pirates were beheaded in batches.
Crimson blood flowed freely, completely staining the bay inside the crescent-shaped harbor of the Naval Headquarters.
The Warring States period demonstrated its absolute iron-fisted and ruthless nature to the world.
The navy is not just about arresting people; it also has a side of annihilation and slaughter.
Any entity that dares to challenge the authority of the Navy Headquarters must be prepared to be wiped out.
Thus, through this maneuver by the Warring States period...
Even though nearly half of the Navy Headquarters was destroyed, the Navy's prestige was once again firmly established.
Previously, there were some dissenting voices regarding Sengoku's appointment as naval admiral, but these completely disappeared after this battle.
During the Warring States period, he truly secured his position as the naval admiral, achieving absolute power.
Apart from a certain unreliable old man, no other navy officer will defy his will.
In addition, Zephyr, who was dispatched to guard the Holy Land of Mary Geoise during this great battle, also took the opportunity to completely disappear into the background.
Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Borsalino were officially appointed as admirals by Sengoku based on their military achievements.
Following this rapid reshuffling of positions, the new general was appointed to remain at headquarters and oversee the reconstruction efforts.
Sengoku and Garp, still wounded, led their fleet to escort the newly arrested Shiki, along with Roger who had previously surrendered, to Loguetown in the East Blue.
May 5th, 1498 (Haiyuan Calendar).
The official execution of the Pirate King, under the protection of two legends, was held in Loguetown.
It was another live broadcast to the world.
When Roger and Shiki were brought to the execution platform at the same time, the world's audiences were once again in an uproar.
"Hey! Pirate King! Where did you hide all that treasure you plundered?! You got that legendary One Piece, didn't you?! That one-treasure slab! ONE PIECE!!"
"Hahahaha, hahahaha..."
Roger, who was about to be executed, laughed loudly on the execution platform.
"Want my treasure? You can have it all!"
"Go find it!! I've left all my treasure there!!"
