Chapter 425 Porusalino: The Time Has Come, Welcome General Polusalino and Our Delegation!
The next development seemed to be exactly what Altluk III and his steward had discussed.
Mouse received accurate news from the Navy Headquarters. The fleet led by three lieutenants will go to the Kingdom of Goa to perform a secret mission. Before that, they will carry out material supplies and short-term repairs at the 141st Branch under his control. .
Alteruk III also found out through his contacts in the World Government that although the Navy Headquarters sent an exaggerated fleet led by three vice-admirals this time, it was not the main force of this operation. The World Government would CP0, who was guarding the Tianlong people, joined the operation and took over command.
In fact, Altluk III was mentally prepared to be refused to disclose information and warned like last time, but surprisingly, his friend seemed very candid this time - after all, the Navy The large-scale action team formed by Ci and CP0 is to conduct an investigation in the windmill village in the Kingdom of Goa. There are some things that require the cooperation of the authorities in the Kingdom of Goa.
That's right, a mere rat colonel and a group of naval scum from the East China Sea are not enough for the Navy Headquarters to stage such a big battle, especially since Porusalino has arranged the fate of these scum in advance - in a few days Years from now, his eldest nephew Luffy will act as a scavenger and clean up the naval environment all over the world!
Therefore, the goal of the action team formed by the Navy Headquarters and CP0 this time is very clear. It is necessary to focus on Windmill Village and conduct rigorous investigations like the investigation of Roger's widow, and find traces of the golden lion on the sea and in the air.
After all, the identity chip that Saint Sekerite had taken away was so important that the five old stars simply did not dare to bet on whether the Golden Lion and the traitor Thain could decipher the secret...
Because of this, the fleet led by three lieutenants this time includes not only Lieutenant General Garp, an extra-standard combat power and the leader of the East China Sea, but also Porusalino who is hidden in the fleet - just in case. If the golden lion is really found, the investigation team will directly transform into a task force to snatch or destroy the identity chips of the world's nobles.
However, these things are too far away from Colonel Mouse and Altluk III. Regardless of the specific content of this joint team operation between the Navy and the World Government, they are fully prepared.
As far as Colonel Mouse is concerned, he not only tidied up the inside and outside of the 141st branch base and hid his corrupt property, but also forced himself to take the sailors out on patrol every day, pretending to be conscientious and responsible.
The other naval officers who had close dealings with him and belonged to the same corruption network in Donghai were also severely reminded and warned by him, asking them to be prepared to keep a low profile for a month or even longer.
As for Altluk III, he was only as cautious as welcoming the Celestial Dragons, and told the pirates near the Kingdom of Goa who were secretly supported by him that they should not be in the area during the recent period. Activities around the Kingdom of Goa.
He even sent people to contact the "garbage dump" in his eyes, that is, the Windmill Village, and wanted to fund the renovation and expansion of the pier there...
…
The Navy Headquarters has warships that can freely travel through the windless zone. Coupled with the special interest of this mission, the warships in the fleet have been specially modified this time, so they can reach the East China Sea very quickly.
Colonel Mouse's corrupt allies have been whispering in his ears these days. They hope that Mouse can fool the big shots in the headquarters, and it is best for them to come and leave quickly, and not to wander around other branches in the East China Sea.
Mouse was coping on the surface, but in fact, after the Navy fleet entered the East China Sea, his vigilance and uneasiness were heightened. He had to make one or two hours of phone calls in the office every day to communicate with various people.
After the headquarters' fleet entered the East China Sea, it did not go directly to Colonel Mouse's 141st branch for repairs as planned. Instead, for the purpose of performing the mission in secret, he immediately went to Rogge Town, the hometown of Pirate King Roger, and the surrounding waters for a cruise. Only then did he slowly drive to the Navy branch base 141, preparing to replenish supplies and start the next phase of the mission.
On the high wall of the Navy Branch 141 base, the sailors stood upright despite the scorching sun. The last time the sailors at the 141st branch base behaved so energetically and with such good looks was when Colonel Mouse became the commander here.
The sailors here have already been informed by rats about the upcoming arrival of the big shots in the headquarters. These days, they have not only been undergoing emergency "sharpening their guns in battle" training, but they have also been given three orders and five orders - what to say, what to do, and what to do. It’s time to play dumb… Rats are afraid something will go wrong with them.
Although the current Navy 141 branch base has been completely controlled by rats inside and outside, the big shots of the headquarters, whether it is the benefits they can give or the threats they can impose, are all a dimensionality reduction blow to him... To be honest, with the fleet of the headquarters As the crisis gradually approached, Mouse felt more and more regretful that he had postponed his decision to go to the South China Sea and the West Sea because he disliked the situation.
If I had left before, not only could I have taken all my money with me, but I would have been a major even if I had gone to the minimum guarantee. It would have been better than the fear and worry I have now...
Colonel Mouse, who was full of worries, was waiting at the dock with his subordinates. In addition to pretending to be a qualified naval colonel, he actually made other preparations - he arranged in advance some subordinates whom he could absolutely trust. Disguised as pirates and lurking in the nearby waters together with the people sent by Altluk III.
If something goes wrong with him here, then these people will pretend to be plundering nearby villages. Then he will have a reasonable reason to take the warship out, and then just leave, never to return to the 141st branch...
And there are some guys at the pier of Branch 141 who have received special arrangements from the rats. If he is forced to defect and the headquarters fleet prepares to pursue him, these guys who have received his money and are threatened by him will not hesitate to secretly activate mines to block the headquarters fleet.
In fact, if Altluk III hadn't insisted that he stay in Branch 141 to wait and see the situation, and given him particularly good conditions, Mouse would have waited for the branch's fleet to enter the East China Sea, and then found a remote corner of the East China Sea. Went on "mission".
"Colonel, our fleet is here."
The phone bug in the mouse's hand said loudly under the gaze of his subordinates.
Not long after the phone worm finished speaking, the five huge warships appeared in the sight of everyone at the dock.
At the same time, on the bow deck of one of the warships, Smoker was shirtless, wearing only a white coat on the outermost part, revealing the huge word "Justice" on his back. There were two cigars in his mouth, and his breath was filled with smoke.
Smoker looked away from your figure at the dock of the 141st branch base. The sparks on the end of the cigar became brighter as he inhaled, and then he blew out a smoke ring:
"Damn it, General Porusalino actually won't let me attack these bastards now, he just wants me to scare them..."
"Last time, the scum of the 721 branch provided a lot of information about this rat..."
…
When the leading warship came ashore and lowered the gangway, Lieutenant General Stoloberg, who had a long beard and wore a tall hat nearly one meter long, got off the ship. The mouse's heart felt as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
Unlike Stoloberg, who has a slender figure and habitually squints his eyes and looks calm, Dalmecia, who is also a lieutenant general, has a strong figure, with bulging muscles that stretch the navy cloak and jacket. Tight. After getting off the boat, he first glanced at the mouse and the sailors standing next to him with a fierce look, and then showed a sneer with unknown meaning.
Stolobeli looked calm. Under the gaze of countless people at the dock, he walked in front of the navy and came to the mouse and others.
"Hello, welcome to the 141st Naval Branch of the East China Sea! Lieutenant General Stoloberg! Lieutenant General Dalmecia!"
Mouse showed off the momentum he had when he first joined the navy, and said so loudly, "I have sharpened my gun for several days in battle" and the military etiquette was also quite standard and impeccable.
The sailors behind him also followed suit.
However--
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
The big shots from the Grand Line Navy Headquarters just looked at these local snakes in the East China Sea silently, neither speaking nor returning a greeting.
According to the rules of the Navy, Mouse and others cannot stop the military salute before Stoloberg and others express their stance. There was no way, even if two or three minutes had passed, these sailors, who usually lacked training and had only conducted assault rehearsals in the past few days, could only endure some indescribable pressure and soreness in their limbs, maintaining a stiff posture. Military posture.
The entire pier was quiet, with only the sound of waves crashing on the shore echoing.
finally--
"Navy Donghai Branch 141, base commander Colonel Mouse, hello!"
Lieutenant General Stoloberg's low but resonant voice echoed far away in the quiet dock, "There is no need to salute."
"yes!"
Finally, I could put down my hands that had started to tremble due to the long salute and excessive tension. However, the mouse still did not dare to take a breath or say anything first. The dock was still in a state where the drop of a needle could be heard, and the atmosphere was solemn and depressing. .
Lieutenant General Stoloberg still didn't show anything wrong on his face, and his eyes were still slightly narrowed, as if he wanted to see through the pale mouse inside and out.
"Seeing is better than hearing, Colonel Mouse,"
After a moment of silence, Stoloberg twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "You are a very good commander. The sailors of Branch 141 and the entire navy in the East China Sea are also very good under your influence!"
"Thank you, sir!"
The mouse replied with a fearful look on his face.
"It is because of your influence and performance in the East China Sea, Colonel Mouse, that the headquarters decided to send the fleet to your branch for repairs."
Stoloberg did not continue to speak, but Dalmecia sneered and spoke.
"You know, the East China Sea is a model of peace created by our navy and the world government. The number of naval branch bases here has exceeded 50 two years ago... But in fact, from the information we have learned, it seems that except for Colonel Mouse, you and Except for Branch 141, the rest are not elites."
Lieutenant General Dalmecia continued:
"However, although we think so, many young people in this department don't think so. They even think that calling you elites is a look down on them... You should be able to understand, right, Colonel Mouse? Young people, The heart is high and the energy is high..."
"I...subordinate..."
The mouse was already sweating profusely.
"Smorg!"
Stoloberg didn't wait for the mouse to finish speaking, and called behind him without looking back.
As he finished speaking, Smoker, who looked ferocious, strode towards the mouse and the others, holding the sea tower stone in his ten hands.
When Smoker walked to Stoloberg, the mouse heard a "clang" sound, and a sharp sword flashing with cold light had already passed through Smoker's neck!
The mouse's eyes were splitting, but he didn't let... The one who drew the sword was Stoloberg? !
Smoker's head soared into the sky, but what spewed out from the bowl-sized wound was not blood, but clouds of choking smoke that kept coming out.
"Natural type!?"
The rat, who was extremely nervous, swallowed subconsciously.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Smoker's severed neck and smoke pouring out from the wound on his head that was flying into the air. They were entangled with each other as if they were conscious. Then, Smoker's head was entangled. Pulled by the smoke together, it returned to the neck.
"You kid! I asked you to say hello to Colonel Mouse. Why are you so aggressive and dark-faced? Are you looking for a lesson?"
Lieutenant General Dalmecia scolded—with a bright smile.
Smoker moved his neck and smiled at the mouse. Then, with a "bang" sound, his arms suddenly exploded without warning, turning into a large cloud of smoke that seemed to have substance. Surrounded by the entire pier.
The mouse's cheeks trembled, and he finally made up his mind:
Snap, snap——
"As expected of the elite of this department, really..."
While the mouse was saying obedient words that were not nutritious, he took advantage of the opportunity when he lowered his applauding hand to try to press the bug button on the phone in his pocket.
However--
Behind Lieutenant General Stoloberg and Dalmecia, Lieutenant General Garp, who was wearing a dog-head mask, suddenly took off the mask, revealing his slightly older face, a head full of white hair, and a cheerful look. smile with white teeth.
Including Captain Mouse, the naval soldiers of Branch 141, after being swept by Lieutenant General Garp's gaze, suddenly felt an irresistible fear in their minds like biological instinct. That is the feeling of prey when facing an apex predator. , not even a thought of resistance could arise.
The hearts of hundreds of naval soldiers seemed to be tightly grasped by a big hand. They all turned pale, sweated like rain, and their whole bodies were shaking uncontrollably.
Plop, plop...
One, two... the sailors of Branch 141, including the officers among them, all fainted to the ground one after another. In the blink of an eye, only the sailors from the headquarters were still standing intact on the dock.
"Hey, you've gone too far. Lieutenant General Garp, the rats and the rats in the East China Sea are all training targets for your grandson Luffy..."
"You still have the nerve to accuse me, Porusalino, didn't you also explain it to this boy Smog, and ask him to be more measured when he scares people..."
"I confessed it, but you don't know that he is a thorn, right? Smoker?"
"Yes, General Porusalino, I am a thorn."
"Then I'm also stabbing my head! I've been stabbing my head for even longer!"
"you……"
"General Porusalino, Lieutenant General Garp, can you two stop talking nonsense? These guys were all scared and fainted. When we supply supplies later, you will have to work harder..."
"Then you have to work harder, Dalmecia! Aren't you and Stoloberg enjoying it too?"
"That's right!"
"This is the East China Sea, not Marine Fando. Please pay attention to your images of admirals and naval heroes."
