Chapter 156 The Revolutionary Army Takes Action
The meeting between Cavendish and Eschbach 'unsurprisingly' turned into a brawl, after destroying half of Doflamingo's palace, and under the attention of various members of Don Quixote's family. Next, under the mediation of Lieutenant General Vergo with a rather anxious attitude, the seemingly serious battle came to an end.
Cavendish, who had been whipped away by Eschbach several times with his tail, angrily agreed to the 'humiliating' conditions and promised not to cause trouble for [Beautiful Sword] Crossel. In order to show his sincerity, he even promised to Leaving the new world.
After receiving the report from Lieutenant General Vergo, the Warring States Marshal breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was no funny incident in which the newly ascended King Shichibukai was beaten to death and the whole system lost its majesty, like Dover Little things like the fact that half of Brother Lang Ming's palace was destroyed by the battle between the two men didn't matter at all.
However, Lieutenant General Vergo's words contained a hint of anger, and he didn't know who made this wooden man angry.
However, the Warring States Marshal who quickly took off in a hurry put this small problem behind him. The word "managing everything on a day-to-day basis" can be used to describe it appropriately. The throne of the Navy Marshal is not as easy to sit on as many people think. Although he has great power and majesty, He has eight sides, but he is still walking on thin ice, trembling with fear. His strong sense of justice and responsibility prevent him from being careless for a moment.
In addition to the troubles in the new world, there were other troubles in the paradise that kept him focused. Speaking of which, both of these things were related to Elus, just like the God of Plague.
Cursing Elus's ability to cause trouble, he pressed the pager on the table. The secretary who stayed in the room next to him quickly came in. They were all old subordinates of the Warring States Period. Needless to say, he held a Da reported, "Marshal, this is a routine report from General Sakaski."
"What's the problem over there?"
Sengoku picked up the note sandwiched in the report and looked at it while asking the secretary.
There are so many official duties that he needs to handle every day, and it is impossible for him to read all the reports. In order not to delay official duties, many secretaries under him usually review the reports first and summarize the detailed contents. Write it on a small note and attach it to the report.
In this way, Warring States only needs to read the note to grasp the details of the report. For things that are not very special, he does not need to read a report from beginning to end, which saves him a lot of time.
"Everything is safe. General Sakaski has landed in Alabasta when the report came. Alabasta sent the fastest-moving Super Karu Duck troops to greet General Sakaski. If nothing happens on the way, maybe We can arrive at Albana, the capital of Alabasta, in the evening, and there should be new reports coming in the evening.”
The secretary spoke clearly and reported the report in a leisurely manner.
"Where is the G2 branch? Have you had any results from asking them to investigate pirates and other unknown forces near the Kingdom of Alabasta?" Sengoku asked.
To be fair, no matter how bad the world government is internally, the navy under the rule of marshals with good skills in the past is generally good. Not to mention the differences between the senior officials on justice, at least the navy's capabilities are still acceptable. Facing the sea The fact that such evil waves as the Age of Thieves were not defeated already shows its resilience.
Ever since the news of [Demon Son] Nico Robin's presence in Alabasta was exposed, the Navy's intelligence force has collected a lot of information, and reports came from multiple channels that different forces are eyeing Nico Robin. intelligence.
Although a naval admiral has been sent.
However, those evil forces that are against the World Government and the Navy should not be underestimated. For example, the Revolutionary Army, an opponent that cannot be caught or defeated, has troubled the top brass of the Navy Headquarters. Fighting pirates is their main priority. That's right, but organizations like the Revolutionary Army are also their mission.
Even in the eyes of the World Government, the priority of attacking the Revolutionary Army is higher than that of most pirates.
Worried about evil forces like the Revolutionary Army snatching away the Son of the Devil, Sengoku contacted the G2 branch closest to the Kingdom of Alabasta and asked Lieutenant General Gumir of the G2 branch to investigate and clean up all illegal forces and organizations close to the Kingdom of Alabasta. .
Don't tell me yet,
Sengoku's worries were by no means unfounded.
He had already received reports from the intelligence department about the nightly attacks on the Alabasta Palace. Fortunately, Eleus's subordinates did not disappoint and successfully killed all the attackers, like an impenetrable iron wall. Nico Robin defended.
What he was most worried about was that Nicole Robin would be kidnapped before Sakaski arrived. Now it seems that such a thing should not happen.
"Lieutenant General Gumil's report is attached."
The well-prepared secretary responded calmly, "The pirates in the waters near Alabasta have been wiped out, and many of them were indeed ordered to act. The ones currently known include Hundred Beasts and Big Mom. , Revolutionary Army..."
He paused and continued, "And Donquixote Doflamingo."
"Doflamingo... this damn sea gangster wants to have a hand in everything." Marshal Sengoku raised his brows, and when he mentioned this disgusting guy, he felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly. , among the members of the King's Shichibukai, he is the one who hates this bastard.
"Don Quixote Doflamingo is not a threat. He is still in the new world. It is impossible to snatch people away from Akainu with just a group of subordinates. Others..."
Mentioning a series of other names, Marshal Sengoku felt a toothache. Doflamingo couldn't interfere in Alabasta's affairs, but that didn't mean that others couldn't do it, whether it was Beasts, Big Mom, or the Revolutionary Army. They all have the strength to deal with a general.
"Can the current locations of Big Mom and Beasts be determined?"
"The intelligence department is unable to determine whether the Hundred Beasts are in Wano. As you know, that country itself is difficult to enter and exit, and the country is extremely closed. It is difficult for the informants installed by the Intelligence Department to survive for a long time. Where are the Hundred Beasts currently lacking sufficient personnel? intelligence."
"BIG·MOM is definitely still in Wan Guo. She just married a new husband half a month ago and has not left Cake Island for half a month."
The secretary replied sternly.
Such an answer is naturally not very satisfactory, but Sengoku also understands that this is not because the intelligence department is not working well, but because the country of Wano is too closed, and it is extremely difficult to investigate whether the beasts are in the country of Wano. The investigation by that exclusive and closed country would be faster than investigating whether there are any traces of Kaido from the outside.
"BIG·MOM is not in danger for the time being. Baiju... If Baiju is alone, you don't have to worry too much even if he appears in front of Sakaski..." Baiju - Kaido, Even though he has the reputation of being the strongest in single combat.
But this does not mean that he can single-handedly beat the generals who are also at the pinnacle of the world's martial arts. One-on-one, perhaps a hundred beasts can defeat any general, but he will definitely not be able to do it without spending ten days and a half. By this time, the navy's reinforcements would have arrived.
"Where is the revolutionary army? Have you discovered the movements of the revolutionary army?"
This question made the secretary look ugly and shake his head.
Compared with the Pirate Emperors who have clear bases, the revolutionary army that has always been hiding in the shadows has never discovered the specific base location. In the past, they often destroyed some less important branch bases, let alone the headquarters. Some important branches have not been breached.
Unable to find the whereabouts of the revolutionary army, investigating the movements of the revolutionary army became an unsolvable joke.
This is not because the navy is incompetent. Those stinky agents directly under the World Government have also failed to capture the movements of the Revolutionary Army. Regardless of the senior cadre of the Revolutionary Army, Ambrio Ivankov, the Revolutionary Army nicknamed the 'Monster King' The commander of the Grand Line Army was imprisoned in the Undersea Prison, but it was the agents of the World Government who did it on unfounded charges.
That is to say,
Up to now, the world government and navy are still in a foggy state regarding the revolutionary army.
"...Wait a moment and send a message to Sakaski, asking him to rush to Albana as soon as possible and take Nicole Robin into custody. Be careful that the beasts and the revolutionary army may launch an attack." Sengoku said He sighed softly, unable to find any tangible evidence, so he could only ask Sakaski to be as careful as possible.
·····
The Kingdom of Alabasta, the endless yellow sand desert.
The Super Karoo Duck Troop carried guests with special status and galloped wildly. It is interesting to say that the biggest Karoo Duck 'Cowboy' wearing a horn helmet was watched by Sakaski after being ridden by Dylan. , carrying Sakaski, who is over 300 centimeters tall, forward in the desert.
"How long until we get to Albana?"
The running Karoo duck did not affect Sakaski's speech.
"We'll be there around evening."
Ikarem, who was riding on the back of another Karoo duck, answered Sakaski's question in a loud voice. After speaking, he glanced at the masked man sitting on the back of the other two Karoo ducks. Ikarem, who had attended the World Conference with Kobra, naturally knew the existence of the 'Dragon Shield' CP0.
When he greeted Sakaski at the port, he found that the person who came to receive Nicole Robin was not only an admiral, but also two members of CP0... This made him immediately get into a fight. Be two hundred percent careful.
He was fearless in dealing with admirals.
But the agents of CP0... these notorious guys, he stayed away from.
"Does it take more than an hour?"
Sakaski glanced at the sky. The sun was already going down, but it was still some distance away from falling below the horizon. After receiving a message from the Navy Headquarters, he knew that he might be attacked by beasts or the revolutionary army. After the incident, he was worried that an uncontrollable accident would happen before he arrived at Albana.
Although the Black Prince's subordinates nicknamed "Executioner" had blocked waves of attackers before, those enemies were just some unscrupulous fish. If the attackers were from the Beasts or the Revolutionary Army, For those who are strong, the results will not be optimistic.
only,
Sakaski lowered his head and glanced at the Karu duck running wildly under him. He was secretly amazed by the speed of this duck. Such a speed was already the limit. He could indeed reach faster in a short time. The problem is that it's not suitable for long distances.
What's more, in this desert that lacks roads and signposts, without people who are familiar with the environment to guide the way, or local creatures like the Karoo duck, even Sakaski dare not say that he will not get lost.
————
In fact, Sakaski's concerns were unfounded.
The Revolutionary Army was not prepared to abduct the devil's son before Sakaski came into contact with Nicole Robin. Because of the deal with Elus, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Mr. Long, decided to kidnap Sakaski. Give him a surprise while escorting Nicole Robin.
Rapeseed Port.
As the largest of the several external trading ports of the Kingdom of Alabasta, the fleet brought by Sakaski stayed here, with seagull flags flapping in the wind, and rows of black muzzles protruding from both sides of the ship. , deterring lawbreakers with malicious intentions.
However, such battles cannot scare the cadres of the revolutionary army.
"Saab."
After getting used to this useful apprentice, the dragon would habitually bring Sabo with him no matter what big action there was, and this time was no exception.
"I'll give you a mission. Find a way to sneak onto a navy ship."
"Eh?"
The person who raised the question was not Sabo himself, but the commander of the Eastern Army, a beautiful woman who didn't like to wear underwear, Bello Betty.
"Isn't this too dangerous? The opponent is that [Akainu]."
"Precisely because he is Akainu, he is the most suitable."
Long said in a deep voice.
Needless to say, he himself, who had been in the navy for a period of time, was not close to Sakaski, but the disguise would most likely be seen through close contact. As for the others... the top brass of the Revolutionary Army The image of the cadres is a bit special. The images of several military commanders are too outstanding in different senses and are not suitable for this kind of latent mission.
After counting, only Sabo has the most normal image, and he is just the right age to disguise himself as an ordinary sailor. He is also good in strength and smart enough to be able to deal with some emergencies. After careful calculation, it is really him. The most suitable.
"Do you dare to go? Sabo."
Long looked at his apprentice.
"I'm quite brave."
A bright smile appeared on Sabo's face, and his white teeth reflected the halo of the setting sun. There was no trace of fear or fear on his face.
"Very good." Long did not comfort Sabo. He knew the apprentice he had personally trained. "After you get on the ship, you don't have to worry about anything else. All you have to do is find out where Nico Robin is being held. Wait until we launch Protect Nico Robin during the attack and prevent the agents of the World Government from killing people. You may face Sakaski directly. How about it? Are you afraid? If you don’t have confidence, I will think of something else... ···”
"Of course I am not the opponent of Akainu, but I am also your student after all, and I will not be defeated so easily." Sabo said solemnly.
