"Let's declare war on the pirates of the great sea route.”
As soon as Zhan Guo's resolute words fell, the entire warship fell silent.
Kelly and the Major General stood rooted to the ground like they were petrified.
After a long time.
Kelly only came back to his senses when a breeze blew past.
He took a deep breath and calmed his pounding heart. With a trembling voice, he asked,"W-declare war on the pirates of the great sea route? Me, us?"
"That's right." Zhan Guo said calmly.
"Hiss, Commander, even the headquarters don't know how many pirates there are in this great sea route.”
"There's no need to consider the small fries. My Conqueror's Haki will clean them up. We'll only face those pirates with bounties of more than 100 million. This is also the reason why we're called top pirates. Those unknown small pirates are not in my consideration at all.”
"That, that's also…"
Kelly was still very hesitant. No one dared to do such a feat. He was still a little scared.
After all, if they were not careful, everyone might die.
He didn't care about his own life, but he was worried about the safety of the commander who had great potential and was the hope of the navy.
Zhan Guo threw the finished cigar into the sea and narrowed his eyes."The navy is already so weak. They urgently need to make a name for themselves again.”
Six years of " stability " and six years of humiliation were about to end when the current Marshal Trash was about to step down. At this moment, all the soldiers were extremely competitive. They were eager to capture and kill all the pirates so that the banner of justice could be raised again.
At this time, the pirates were also extremely arrogant. They treated the navy as a weak character that could be bullied. The Battle Kingdom had only destroyed Lelai Island and killed 50,000 pirates, which made them furious. They dared to openly form an alliance to kill him, not putting the navy in their eyes.
He could imagine that if the warring states declared war on them, these pirates would gather in groups like cats that had smelled blood. There was no need for him to search the entire world.
Morale, opportunity, and timing were all there. If they did not seize this opportunity, it would be impossible to repeat it in the future.
Moreover, his system was a classic example of how the more players he fought, the more experience he would gain. When the time came, with a huge amount of experience accumulated, it would not be a problem for him to instantly kill the four emperors.
"Then have you thought of the specific course of action?”
Kelly knew that nothing he said would shake Sengoku's determination, so he didn't say anything more. He was just curious about the plan before the declaration of war.
"First, find a place where we can advance and retreat freely and where it is beneficial to us.”
" Second, let the newspaper spread the news around the world to ensure that all pirates and citizens of the great sea route can see this news. It had been six years. It was time to give the people who had been paying taxes a satisfactory explanation.”
"Finally…"
Zhan Guo licked his lips, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up. He raised his hand and clenched it into a fist."To bring victory to the navy and to the world.”
Kacha.
The soldiers on the deck who had followed him for two years were excited. They gripped their pistols with both hands and watched the war solemnly.
"Major General, do you and your soldiers want to participate?”Zhan Guo tilted his head slightly and looked at the Major General who had just regained his senses.
The major general was also very excited, and his face was flushed red.
Without hesitation, he saluted and shouted,""The duty of a soldier is to obey orders. Sir, if you're sure, we'll follow you to fight against the pirates on the great sea route.”
"Very good. What's your name?"
For the first time, Zhan Guo seriously sized up the major general in front of him.
He was very young and looked to be in his twenties. The body hidden under the cloak of justice also revealed the shape and lines of muscles.
Under Wen Yese's perception, his aura was not bad. To have such strength and the rank of major general at such a young age, he was definitely not a weakling who was fishing for fame.
If they were properly nurtured, they would have a great future.
"I'm the major general of the G9 fortress base, Matsuura.”
"I'll remember you."
Sengoku was just saying an ordinary sentence, but it made Major General Matsuura feel like he was about to fly. He could already see his own path to promotion.
The matter had been confirmed. Zhan Guo looked at the two of them and asked,
"Then the question now is, which island meets my requirements for both offense and defense? Do you have any recommendations?”
"Uh, this one has to think about it.”Major General Matsuura frowned and racked his brains.
"If necessary, I think we can ask the intelligence department in the headquarters.”Kelly said.
At this moment, Mei Yu's voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"If you really want to find such a place, I do know.”
"Where?"
"My hometown, a rotten, smelly kingdom.”
“……”
………………
Two days later, three warships stopped at Miwa's home port.
Zhan Guo led everyone down and looked at the kingdom in front of him. He waved to Miha behind him and gestured for her to come forward.
"This is your hometown, the Ova Lake Kingdom?”
"Yes, yes! That's right." Mei Yu replied.
"You should know that if we really declare war, the island will still exist if we fight the pirates, but this kingdom will definitely be wiped out! Even so, are you sure you want us to fight here?”
Miha nodded without hesitation.
"Tell me the reason." Sengoku was very curious as to why a woman was willing to destroy the kingdom that she had grown up in.
Mei Yu took a deep breath and replied with a serious expression,""You might not know this, but although this is a kingdom, it is a kingdom protected by pirates.”
Kelly and Major General Matsuura looked at each other, but Sengoku did not say anything, so they continued to listen quietly.
"Five years ago, a group of pirates came to the island and reached an agreement with the king. They lent the pirate flag to the Kingdom of Lake Ova and announced to the pirates that this was a place they protected. The price was that they had to pay a huge amount of Bailey every year as their protection fee.”
"And every year, they will choose three months to spend their vacation here. During the vacation, women between the ages of 14 to 34 in the kingdom will be brought to a designated location to stay with the pirates!”
At this point, Mei Yu's eyes revealed a painful expression.""The men on the island who resisted were all killed by the kingdom's guards.”
"The huge protection fees paid to the pirates are also paid by the people.”
"The king and the nobles continue to live a carefree life in the inner city.”
"This rotten and smelly place, I think I'm not the only one. Everyone on the island will want to destroy it. My thoughts were that if we fought and won, this place would definitely become more famous as the place where many pirates died. Even without the protection of the pirate flag, those pirates might not appear here in the future.”
"If your plan succeeds, the Ova Lake Kingdom can even rely on this reputation to successfully join the World Government. From then on, there will be naval patrols. This is the little plan in my heart.”
At the end of her sentence, Miha looked at Sengoku with a hopeful gaze.
"Let me take a look at the layout of the entire island first.”
Zhan Guo didn't have the intention to criticize Miha. This was a matter that benefited both sides. Moreover, as his subordinate, he had the obligation to seek benefits for her.
Of course, the premise was that this island matched his idea.
He activated Moon Steps of the War Country and rushed into the sky, looking around the entire island.
After a long while, he returned.
"This place is not bad. Then, Meiyu, I'll leave the task of persuading the people to you. The soldiers will cooperate with you.”Zhan Guo said.
"That's great. Then, then what if the king and the nobles stop us?”
"Kill him!" Zhan Guo said calmly. This kind of scum who pushed his own people out to be humiliated deserved to die.
Protecting civilians was also one of his goals.
