G1 branch, war front line.
"I'm afraid... it's not that simple, right? Ms. He."
There is only one person in the navy who calls a crane "Ms. Crane", Admiral "Ao Pheasant".
Others are either "Staff Crane", "Chief of General Staff" or "Lieutenant General Crane".
And Cap's unique greeting, "Crane-chan."
He leaned weakly on the pillow, his face pale but his eyes clear.
"The commander-in-chief suddenly asked you to take me away. You must have discovered something."
"So is this really a good thing? Turning a blind eye or something..."
The Holy Land is in chaos and cannot avoid the navy's eyes.
The flames soaring into the sky were still clearly visible across the tall and majestic red earth continent, and the faint sound of explosions was even more frightening.
As a navy, he ignored this. Based on today's experience, Qingzhi understood that there was something wrong that he didn't know about.
"It's not about turning a blind eye..."
In response, He closed his eyes and said solemnly: "Old woman, the order I received is to maintain the stability of the front line at all costs until Marshal Akainu and others return."
"Other than that, ignore it."
"Are you asking me to disobey military orders? Qingzhi... I don't want to be in danger at a later age."
"No guarantee of late night..."
Qingzhi repeated this sentence silently, and suddenly looked at her teasingly: "It's not that easy for you to be in the same room with me alone in the middle of the night."
Crane: "..."
Click...
When the door opened, Kuleha looked at the room curiously and asked, "Are you done talking? Why is he asleep?"
"I'm probably too tired. After all, I just woke up..."
Crane replied with a calm expression, then nodded.
"Please doctor, in his current state, if he goes out, he will die."
"Uh-huh! Don't worry, the patients in my hands can get off the bed in only two situations."
Kuleha took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "The first is recovery, the second is corpse."
Can I choose the second option
There was an incredible moment of silence before Crane nodded and turned to leave.
…
Such a big thing happened in the Holy Land and they couldn't hide it from others. On the Pluto deck, a group of people who were chasing Neptune suddenly received an emergency call.
"What? You said something happened to the Holy Land?!"
Bald Zero looked at the phone bug in astonishment and raised his head. Sure enough, Akainu also stared at the phone bug with wide eyes and disbelief.
"I understand... Notify all members to protect the Holy Land at all costs!"
Then he hung up the phone and said to Akainu.
"I think now is not the time to continue searching for traces of Neptune, Marshal Akainu!"
"Once the Holy Land suffers heavy losses, even if we kill Neptune, it will only be a drop in the bucket for the entire war situation."
Bald Zero knows that Akainu is not the kind of guy who only knows how to obey orders, and it is absolutely impossible to directly bring out the banner of the Holy Land to suppress people.
Only if Xiaozhi is moved by emotion and reason can he be persuaded.
"Indeed, the reason why we hunt down Neptune is because her behavior provokes the authority of the government and threatens the safety of the sea... But the importance of the holy land itself deserves to be protected."
Taotu frowned. She was appointed as the successor by He and was very resourceful.
Akainu could tell that there was something behind her words, it was "the importance of the Holy Land itself" rather than "the importance of the World Government itself".
Once the Holy Land is attacked by the enemy and suffers heavy losses, the ripples that will be caused will definitely be more serious than the birth of Neptune and the birth of Pluto!
But there is a very real problem...
"Can you make it?"
Silently rubbing his temples, Akainu frowned and said, "We have circled a large circle on the sea. Even at Pluto's speed, it will take two days to go back."
Distance is the biggest problem!
How vast is the sea
The sea train lines that are now densely covered with the first half of the navy base only strengthen the connection between several surrounding islands. Compared with the entire great sea route, the area is less than one ten thousandth.
And in two days, 48 hours day and night, is it really necessary to rush back
Unless, they can shorten this time!
Kizaru: "..."
Noticing that several people's eyes were focused on him, Kizaru spread his hands and said, "Hey, Ron once said that facing a strong enemy, knowing that one's own combat power is insufficient and yet dedicating troops to support him is a form of courting death."
"You shouldn't be so irrational, right?"
"It makes no sense to apply theories mechanically on the battlefield, adapting to circumstances is the truth!"
Bald Zero shook his head and said: "What's more, if you fight Pluto alone, you won't be afraid of the Neptune-like army. As long as we stop the attack of Neptune's body, there will be no problem in a short time... And the Holy Land needs this exactly. 'short time'."
"Well said!"
Akainu glared at Kizaru, who wanted to work hard again, with an evil look on his face.
"Kizaru, I want you to rush back to the Holy Land immediately to provide support! This is an order!"
"Well, don't look at me with that scary look. I'll go. I'll go, okay?"
Kizaru sighed quietly and pouted obscenely.
At this moment, there was a muffled thunder in the sky, and the surging electric light illuminated the night sky, making the whole world bright.
Everyone watched as the "zipper thunder" that penetrated the clouds passed through the depths of the new world in the blink of an eye and disappeared into the dense dark cloud sky ahead. Kizaru's expression changed and he stood at attention and saluted.
"I understand, let's go immediately!"
After saying that, ignoring Akainu's twitching expression, he shot out prisms with his hands, turning them into light particles that continued to refract and quickly disappeared into the night sky.
"Sure enough, something happened to Mary Joa!"
Under the sea, Neptune hid himself in a coral reef and looked up thoughtfully.
Suddenly, his expression changed. He looked at the blue-black shark swimming around the outside of the coral reef and the man-made product tied to the shark's back, and his face turned blue.
"Damn it! It's been discovered again!"
Gululu…
A large number of metal cans with bubbles were thrown into the sea from under Pluto's deck. Neptune did not want to leave his hiding place. The next moment, a terrifying explosion completely changed the seabed terrain!
"Seven o'clock direction, chase!"
On the deck, Taotu decisively gave orders for the soldiers to take action.
…
Holy place, Marie Gioia, among flowers.
Uh-huh!
The long-bearded Five Old Star appeared in front of the Huajian Gate. Looking at the old man guarding the gate in front of him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Vic, is Master Im awake?"
"The master has woken up a long time ago and specially ordered me to come and pick you up."
Vic bowed slightly to indicate, then looked around and asked in surprise: "Are you the only one? Where are the others?"
"It's... a long story."
Shocked to realize that the other person had not followed, the bearded Five Old Star shook his head with a wry smile and stood up: "It's better to see Lord Im as soon as possible. He should know what happened."
The omniscient and almighty God!
Ruler of the world!
In the eyes of the Five Old Stars with Beards, and for Im, who has been called countless great names, it is easy to figure out what happened in the Holy Land.
"I see, I made a mistake."
Old Vic nodded, turned around, took out the key, and opened the vine-covered lock between the flowers.
"This way, please."
"Thank you!"
The bearded Five Old Star took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and stepped among the flowers.
But at this time...
Poof! !
"Wow...!"
He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organs. The bearded Five Old Star grabbed the palm that came out of his abdomen in disbelief.
Warm blood dripped down the joints and fell to the ground. With confusion and shock in his eyes, he turned to look at the old man dressed as a butler.
"Why... why?!"
Crunch…
Wow!
There was no answer, only the arm exerted force again, completely crushing the internal organs and extinguishing any life.
Vic's eyes looked so strange and familiar to Wulaoxing, as if he had returned to that dark night decades ago.
"More capable than I thought, Orric."
Vic muttered silently to himself and pulled his hand out.
Plop…
The last five old stars stared wide-eyed and fell to the ground, with a ferocious expression on their face, and they refused to rest in silence.
Uh-huh!
Suddenly, a figure appeared behind him.
Orric looked at the corpse on the ground calmly and said, "I remember I didn't let you take action, uncle."
"it's the same… "
Hearing this, Vic silently took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his arm.
"You don't really think that I have a chance to sneak attack on the adult inside, do you?"
In response, Orric frowned, then smiled.
"You're right! I was too naive."
squeak…
At this time, the sound of friction came, causing the two people to turn back instantly and put into defensive posture.
But the imaginary attack did not come, only the closed door between the flowers opened automatically without wind.
"Im!"
Realizing that he had lost his composure, Orric clenched his fists and growled coldly.
"I am back again!"
