Pirate of Darkness

After returning to the headquarters of the Navy, Sengoku and the others immediately visited Sora who was lying in the intensive care unit.

Kong's life force is extremely weak, although he has strong resilience, but under the body's instinct, most of the life force is used to fill the hole in his chest.

Coupled with the help of the Navy's superb medical technology, Kong's life was suspended.

Such an injury, no matter how advanced the medical technology is, is useless, and more depends on one's own recovery ability.

In the conference room of the Navy Headquarters, all high-level officials gathered here. This was the first such large meeting after the start of the Golden Sea Battle.

Some high-level naval officers who have important missions and cannot come can't miss it. Most of them guard one side and participate in the video through video phone bugs.

The G7 naval branch is much better than those of the four seas. The situation is not that bad, but it is not much better. The scope of inspections has been reduced by almost half.

In order to maintain the survival of the navy branch, in addition to daily fishing, Lieutenant General Prodi, the base chief of the G7 branch, went to sea more diligently, and took the initiative to look for pirates to attack.

With Prodi's powerful strength, most of the pirates are not his opponents.

This sea area has already set off the notoriety of "Bandit Navy", which is spread among pirates, and it is said that it is the G7 branch led by Lieutenant General Prodi.

For the survival of the branch, Lieutenant General Prodi set his sights on those pirates.

After defeating these pirates, Lieutenant General Prodi will not arrest the pirates, and the navy will not be able to afford food, so why did he run so far to advance to the city? Besides, it takes a lot of food to support the pirates, which is even more impossible.

Prodi is not a hawk, so he will not kill these pirates, unless they are pirates with serious evil deeds.

And the fate of these pirates is not much better, all the treasures were taken away by Lieutenant General Prodi to replenish the inventory of the G7 branch, and all the valuable things on the ship will be taken away. In the past, the navy would not have taken a fancy to these things .

Like the pirate ship that was supposed to be destroyed, it also stayed, and the pirate ship can also be sold for a lot of money.

In the end, although these pirates survived and were let go by the navy, they felt very bitter and humiliated by being robbed of their long-term efforts.

The G7 branch navy under the leadership of Lieutenant General Prodi can be said to have plucked the feathers. Many pirate groups have been brutally murdered. The spread of notoriety has made many pirate groups avoid the pirates of the G7 branch.

In their eyes, the navy of the G7 branch is very terrifying. One of the very famous things is that a group of pirates was very unlucky and was caught by Lieutenant General Prodi four times.

The captain's strength is good, he is well-known in this sea area and has strength, so the money is naturally faster, after all, it is obtained by robbery.

Every time they were caught and released, they regrouped and went to sea again.

After being arrested four times, they finally collapsed and were harvested again and again like leeks. Prodi's "devil" name came from their mouths.

They fled the sea directly, vowing never to return.

At the beginning, the navy of the G7 branch was a little embarrassed, and they couldn't hold back their face, but with a shameless and trustworthy lieutenant general like Prodi, they were gradually infected by Prodi, and the atmosphere permeated the entire G7 branch in a short period of time.

As a navy, I experienced the feeling of being a robber. The target was a pirate. They didn't have any psychological burden, but felt a little happy.

It is precisely because of this that, when the living space of other navies is constantly suppressed, and the situation is getting worse, G7 is living a relatively moist life.

However, the only people in the G7 branch who have the ability to lead a team to the sea to plunder pirates alone are Lieutenant General Jiaji and Prodi.

"It's Brigadier General Kaji and Lieutenant Colonel Novoa who are back!" Someone from the G7 branch shouted excitedly, looking at the sea in the distance.

"There must be a lot of gains!"

It is very clear that there are two pirate ships behind the warship. There is no one on the pirate ship, but there are still traces of battle.

As for those pirates, the cruel ones must be killed directly, and the ones with lesser culpability will be let go.

Jiaji stepped off the warship, followed by Novoa.

Novoa walked side by side with him, and his military rank was not lower than his self-awareness.

With his hands in his pockets and a gentle smile on his face, Novoa has integrated into the G7 branch in just a few months, and has become a man of the G7 branch with his amazing performance.

The improvement of strength is the further development of ability.

In just a few months, Novoa has accepted the teachings of Lieutenant General Prodi, and has a good foundation. Novoa has learned the six styles of the navy, and integrated the various force and explosive skills of the six styles of the navy into his own body. In gymnastics.

And focusing on the iron block and paper painting, these two styles are more focused on the control of the body, and more about the mastery of returning life. Novoya has a clear understanding of himself.

The simple six forms are actually not suitable for him. As a steam fruit ability user, the combination of devil fruit ability and physical skills is the most perfect. He only needs what he needs.

After seeing Novoa's learning ability and potential, Lieutenant General Prodi also taught him with all his heart. In addition to his own training, he also had this strong man as a partner. These days, Novoa's life can be said to be very full.

"Why did you call us back so early? Did something important happen?" Novoa looked at Jia Ji and asked.

Just after the war in the new world ended, Lieutenant General Prodi issued an order to call them back to the G7 branch as soon as possible. You can guess that it must be related to the Navy headquarters.

"Well, the headquarters meeting, the high-level navy will be here." There is nothing to hide, and he has already guessed it when he saw Novoa's appearance, Jia Ji nodded and said.

For Novoa's progress, he can clearly feel it, which is amazing.

"That shouldn't have anything to do with me." Novoa chuckled softly.

"I don't know about that." Jia Ji shook his head. Lieutenant General Prodi specifically told him to go back with Novoa when he called. It should have something to do with Novoa.

Soon, the two came to the office of Lieutenant General Prodi of the G7 branch. In addition to Lieutenant General Prodi, there were also two general-level navy seniors, who were regarded as Prodi's deputy.

In the Navy headquarters, the rank of general is already regarded as a high-level navy, so this brigadier general is also eligible to participate in the meeting.

Of course, this is a large-scale meeting, and generally important meetings can only be attended by naval officers with a lieutenant general and above, such as the Qiwuhai meeting.

Such large-scale meetings are extremely rare, and they basically announce something to them, the cornerstone of the navy.

Basically, it is mobilization. More than 20 years ago, there was such a mobilization against the Rocks Pirates. The real secrets are naturally only known to the senior naval officers at the lieutenant level.

So what will be mobilized this time? They also couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Novoa, you should know about it." Prodi smiled at Novoa when he saw them coming in.

"En." Novoya nodded, with some doubts in his eyes.

"Then stay here and stand behind me as an observer." Prodi waved at Novoa.

These can be regarded as some unspoken rules in the navy. Jiaji’s eyes showed a clear look. When Kuzan was young, he was able to attend meetings before he became a lieutenant general. Of course, he followed Karp.

The same is true for others, especially after graduating from the Naval Academy, they will be assigned to sharpen under the hands of various naval powerhouses.

Jiaji was also assigned to Polusalino's subordinate after graduation, and he began to follow Polusalino to participate in naval meetings early on, but he didn't have much right to speak and was not enough to participate in the discussions.

But just this kind of right has surpassed other colleagues by a large margin.

Novoa did not expect that his progress would be so smooth, and he would be able to contact the high-level meeting of the Navy so early. He thought it would take a few years to work hard.

"Then respect is worse than obedience." Novoa smiled and nodded lightly, took out two bottles of wine from nowhere, put them on the table, opened a bottle, and poured a large glass for Lieutenant General Prodi, "Old man , this is a treasure I found with great difficulty, and now I use it to honor you."

The aroma of the wine is overflowing, and you can tell it is a rare wine when you smell it.

"Novoa, are you bribing this officer?" Lieutenant General Prodi suddenly became serious.

"How could it be? When I'm old, I should learn to enjoy it. This is just my wish. Please accept it." Novoa's face remained unchanged, and he had almost grasped Lieutenant General Prodi's temper.

"Haha, yes, it's almost the age of retirement, but I can still work for another 20 years." Prodi raised his glass and savored it carefully.

What Novoya did made Jiaji a little speechless, he found a seat to sit down, and poured himself a full glass.

"Hey, brat, this is Novoa's filial piety to me, an old man." The added plan made Prodi's beard stand up, and he couldn't help cursing.

However, Jia Ji didn't care about it, and in a blink of an eye, the wine in the glass was reduced by half.

"Hey, the brats nowadays are so disrespectful to old people." Prodi sighed. If he didn't understand his jumpy temperament, he would really think he was angry.

"If you want to drink, pour yourself a glass, as long as you don't say it." Jia Ji said to the other two brigadier generals.

They are also very familiar with each other, and they have long been greedy, and they acted as soon as Jia Ji finished speaking.

Although it's nothing to drink, if you just let them watch it, it's not justified. It's better to get into the water together, and it can increase the relationship.

Regardless of his appearance and the record of failed marriage proposals, he is very good at dealing with people. He has many friends in the navy. This is also thanks to his best friend, Polusalino, who came from Polusali Jiaji learned a lot from Nuo.

Gu looked at the time, it was almost time, the video phone bug opened, revealing the screen inside.

This is a huge conference hall, and high-ranking navy officials are sitting in their seats, exuding a powerful aura.

And those brigadier generals, major-admiral-level navies, stood around or knelt on the ground one by one.

quietly waiting.

There are many people whose bodies are wrapped in bandages and who have not fully recovered from their injuries.

The meeting must be on time, this is the rule of the Navy, unless it is a super big name like Karp, who is qualified to make everyone wait for him.

It can be seen that the people are not full, and many of those seats are empty.

As for what empty means, they all know very well that they have already been sacrificed. Such a number is simply shocking.

There were eleven vice admirals sent by the navy to the Golden Sea. However, all of them died in the battle with the pirates, and none of them survived. There were even more navies below, with heavy losses.

Including the two who died in the New World War, that is, the loss of fourteen vice admirals.

The number of vice admirals in the navy has reached the single-digit figure unprecedentedly. Karp, He, and Prodi, the other two lieutenant generals of the same branch as Prodi, and two veteran lieutenant generals of the headquarters, three Lieutenant General of Giants.

Among them, Prodi and four other lieutenant generals are all older, have reached the age of declining strength, and have reached the age of retirement.

Among the lieutenant generals who died, there were veteran lieutenant admirals, as well as many lieutenant admirals who had been promoted after the promotion ceremony.

Those who can become vice admirals are basically able to skillfully use two-color domineering, but now they all sacrificed.

At the same time, nearly half of the general-level navy below also sacrificed, and the navy's strength had already fallen to the bottom when it was full.

Novos stood quietly behind Prodi without saying a word.

Not many people paid attention to him, except for a few people who knew him and glanced at him.

Zhan Guo sat in the first place. Seeing that everyone was present, he sighed and announced loudly, "The meeting begins!"

Immediately afterwards, Sengoku turned his gaze aside, "He, tell me about the current situation of the navy."

"Yeah." Crane nodded.

"Nowadays, the navy has suffered heavy losses. Since the start of the Golden Sea Battle until now, fourteen lieutenant generals have sacrificed,... a major general has died, and a brigadier... has died. The school-level navy has suffered as many as... people. Statistics, the total sacrifice of the Navy... people..."

Shocking numbers were uttered from He's mouth, and the air in the entire conference room was about to condense, and the eyes of all the marines below were wide-eyed, and they couldn't believe it.

Although they could guess that the navy suffered a lot of losses, they never thought that it would be so heavy, in a short period of time, because of a golden naval battle.

The counted numbers deeply hurt their hearts. Some people clenched their fists angrily, some couldn't help tears from their eyes, and some covered their ears, not wanting to hear these.

All living beings are in various states, and they felt uncomfortable in the Warring States Period, and even felt powerless for a while.

The strength of the navy has been lost by half, or even more.

Even Crane's voice trembled a little when he said these numbers.

When the statistics of these figures are displayed in front of them, they don't know how angry or sad they are.

It is far from enough to describe the injury, it is completely "cramping and breaking the bone", which makes the navy's size drop by a whole section.

In addition to death, there are other kinds of losses.

"Tell me about the current situation of the navy." Warring States couldn't help but close his eyes, exhausted both physically and mentally, as if he had aged ten years overnight.

Even the strong vitality and physique of the Warring States Period can't hold it up, and it's all based on willpower.

"The current situation in the navy is very bad. Let's talk about the interior first. The food and salaries have been owed for several months, the ammunition and equipment are in short supply, basically exhausted, and there are not many warships. Now the navy can be said to be unable to wage war."

"On the great route, the navy's strength was squeezed to the extreme, barely surviving, and only the G7 branch was in a good condition." He also glanced at the video on Prodi's side.

The same goes for the others. After all, Prodi's actions really made them wonder what to say. They have all heard of the glorious deeds of the G7 branch.

"As for the four seas, it's completely out of control, and some naval branches have literally died." He sighed as he said.

"The chaos in the world is difficult for the navy to suppress. A large number of sailors have withdrawn from the navy. The number and strength of the navy have been greatly weakened, plus the invasion of pirates."

"According to intelligence, during the war, the navy has lost trust in the four seas. All kingdoms and allied countries are forming their own navies to resist pirates."

"Many members of the navies formed by these kingdoms originally belonged to our naval branch."

This is open poaching, poaching the corners of the navy, and it has already been poached, and it is not illegal, they left the navy on their own initiative, and then joined these kingdoms.

The rapid decline of the navy's situation was beyond the expectation of the Dark Council of the West Sea. A large number of sailors left the navy in order to survive.

That being the case, why bother to come up with a strategy of doves occupying the magpie's nest, wouldn't it be good to just absorb them all?

However, in order not to be too eye-catching, it is better to bring other alliance countries to do it together. The kingdoms are all connected, and they are already building their own navy, so it is better to directly absorb the original navy. Convenience.

Such an approach is related to their own interests, and they don't have any psychological burden. With so many franchise countries together, even the world government is not afraid, let alone the navy.

So I agreed without hesitation, and at the same time made an undisguised shot.

Even these naval branches were directly occupied by them unceremoniously.

The territory where the navy establishes a naval branch basically belongs to the franchise country and is given by the franchise country. Because it is close to the franchise country, the interests of the franchise country can be better protected, and the money for the establishment of the navy branch is also paid by the franchise country.

That being the case, the branch was built by me, and the land is also mine. Since the navy has no ability to protect them, then leave and return the branch.

Everyone knows that only in their own hands is the real power. Since there is no need to hand over the gold from the sky, it is more than enough to use part of it to develop the navy.

"Except for a few naval branches that are still supporting, the others have basically been annexed by these alliance countries. They have begun to form their own navy, and they no longer need us."

"What do you mean?" A navy couldn't help asking blankly.

"The era when the allied countries of the four seas relied on the headquarters of the navy is over. They have their own navies, and these navies have nothing to do with us."

Crane let out such an exclamation that the times have changed too fast, and when the war is over, such a change made her feel a little magical.

"More than a dozen kingdoms in the West Sea have even issued a statement to jointly establish the West Sea Navy, a navy that maintains the order of the West Sea and only belongs to the West Sea. The headquarters of the West Sea Navy is established on Griffith Island near the center of the West Sea. In order to distinguish it from the Navy, the West Sea The navy is also known as "Xihai Haiwei", which means the sea guards guarding the West Sea."

"There are also such ideas in other sea areas, but they are still brewing. Compared with building a navy alone, the investment in joint building is smaller, and the benefits are greater. It can also avoid maritime wars between kingdoms."

"They did nothing wrong. Today's navy really can't protect them." As he said that, He laughed at himself.

There was silence, and I didn't know what to say.

"Then, what should we do? The world government is no longer the world government, what about our navy?" A navy said, his eyes couldn't hide his anger towards the world government, and he was still a little confused.

There are many people who hate the world government in the navy, and there are many people who hate the Tianlong people. In addition to the loss of the navy, a large part of it is because of the world government.

Now that the prestige of the world government has declined, they are not as afraid and respectful of the world government as before.

Until now, the pent-up anger has also burst out.

The world government is no longer the world government. Many people present savored this sentence carefully.

If the world government loses the four seas, it will lose half of the world, not to mention that the new world is now in the hands of pirates.

The Four Seas has the vast majority of allied countries, and the world government that cannot represent the world is no longer the world government. Can the navy still represent the world?

"The navy is the navy, and it won't change." At this moment, the voice of the Warring States Period sounded, and he said seriously, and his voice gave everyone present a reassurance.

The loss of the Four Seas has the greatest impact on the world government, but the impact on the navy is much smaller. The overall combat power of the Four Seas is already very weak, and it cannot be compared with the great shipping routes or the New World.

The main forces of the navy are all on the great route, the only thing to worry about is that many navies come from all over the world.

"Don't worry about the four seas. The government hasn't acted yet, and we don't know what will happen. Now focus on the great route. Now, what should be discussed is what should the navy do next?" Warring States said seriously.

This is a matter of survival for the Navy, top priority.
