After leaving Fishman Island, Guan Liyuan temporarily notified the various departments of the Revolutionary Army that after the official uprising, "Tiger" should also be regarded as one of the pioneers of the Revolutionary Army's ideas, leaving aside his side of resisting humans and promoting Tiger's idea of free liberation of all slaves without distinction!
For example, when the Revolutionary Army liberated slaves, it can be said to be inheriting the will of "Tiger".
In this way, not only can you gain the favor of the slaves liberated by Tiger and the people who admire Tiger, but you can also improve the favorability of Fishman Island!
The most basic purpose of this trip to Fishman Island has been achieved, but there is still some distance before Fishman Island completely stands on the side of the Revolutionary Army.
In the next two months, the situation on the sea was tense and depressing, rolling forward at a rhythm that was difficult to grasp!
First, the Seven Waters, as the "origin", encountered soft resistance when the World Government ordered the countries along the Sea Train to cooperate with the dispatched officials to transfer all management rights and accounts. Some extreme countries even went on strike to protest...
In half a month, the conflict continued to escalate. Only then did the World Government realize that the Sea Train circle with the Seven Waters as the core wanted to resist itself!
The surrounding naval branches also received instructions at this time and began to cooperate with the dispatched officials to take over the operation of the Sea Train.
At the same time, the four seas, which have always been "calm", also began to surge!
First, in the most "peaceful" East China Sea, the model of isolated society, the Kingdom of Goa, there were several uprising forces. In just three days, all the "suburbs" outside the central street and Gaozhen fell...
And the Kingdom of Goa only fired the first shot. Then, in just half a month, there were hundreds of uprisings in the East China Sea alone, ranging from hundreds to thousands.
As for the West Sea, the North Sea, and the South Sea, there are only more than this!
Some were rebels that the World Government had known about before and were being suppressed by the local navy, while others were rebels that had been hiding before and suddenly broke out.
Moreover, after gaining power, they all hoisted the flags of the Revolutionary Army - some directly hoisted flags with the pattern of "a diamond surrounded by four red straight lines with a solid red diamond in the middle", while others marked this pattern on the corners of their flags! It was
very similar to the battle pattern on Dragon's face, which was also the flag used by the Revolutionary Army in recent years...
For a time, smoke rose in the four seas, and many branches in the four seas began to work passively or showed obvious signs of drifting away. The World Government even had to draw out the naval branches in the Grand Line, mainly the front half, to suppress the rebellion in the jurisdiction of the four seas, and to support the civil unrest in the member countries, and to check what was going on with those branches that were moving and unchanged!
Therefore, the World Government was no longer polite to the Seven Water City, and directly ordered the navy to enter military control...
Then the Water City Navy Flag Change Incident occurred!
Although the brigadier general of the Navy Headquarters stationed in the Seven Water Capitals also tasted some of the sweetness of the Sea Train, when he was forced to make a choice, he obviously stood on the side of the Navy - after all, the brigadier general of the headquarters is already a high rank, and there is room for promotion for those who come from the headquarters.
However, when he used force against the marching people, he was ambushed and killed by a major general of the branch and a lieutenant colonel of the headquarters!
At the same time, as the second and third figures of the local navy, the two sent telegrams to the brigadier general to slaughter civilians, bribe elected officials, and plunder people's wealth... There are more than ten crimes that may or may not exist, and announced that the Water Capital Navy Branch will follow the will of the people and live and die with the Water Capital, and also telegraphed the Navy Headquarters to "think twice before acting."
Other navies in the Sea Train circle were also captured by the Railway Protection Army one after another, either by defecting or with the help of traitors!
Sengoku was so angry that he immediately ordered the G8 branch not far away to send troops to attack the countries of the Road Protection Alliance centered on Water City...
The G8 branch is the largest branch of the Navy in the Grand Line. Although it is privately ridiculed as "big and inappropriate", its combat effectiveness and number of people are far beyond the ordinary branches. Moreover, the commander Jonathan is a vice admiral of the headquarters. In the first half of the Grand Line, it is enough to calm the situation!
Moreover, the G8 branch is in the center of the first half of the Grand Line, not far from the sea train circle in the middle and rear.
As a result, Sengoku received an urgent report from Jonathan that afternoon - the terrifying three-masted ship of Gekko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, suddenly appeared near the G8 branch...
Although the Seven Warlords of the Sea are theoretically in the same camp as the Navy, Jonathan cannot be unprepared for it at this time.
The most important thing is that Moria's terrifying three-masted sailing ship, known as the largest pirate ship, actually came all the way from the Devil's Triangle to the vicinity of the G8 branch, crossing a quarter of the Grand Line, without being discovered... Even before that, the navy didn't even know that Moria had left the Devil's Triangle.
This is strange enough... As for saying that Moria didn't hide on purpose? No one would believe it!
And in the call, Moria was perfunctory about the reason for appearing here, and he lingered nearby... Therefore, Jonathan didn't dare to leave the G8 branch!
At the same time, Sengoku also heard some rumors in the headquarters, such as "Jonathan and Water City regarded it as a consensus and deliberately didn't send troops."
Although Sengoku didn't doubt Jonathan because of this, he felt more and more that things were unusual.
Afterwards, Sengoku sent a vice admiral of the headquarters in the name of the Navy Headquarters to contact Gekko Moriah. As a result, Moriah said that Crocodile invited him and said something like "I didn't expect to affect the Navy's military activities", "Everything is a misunderstanding", "I sent my men to report to the Navy before, but it may have been sent due to an accident" and so on...
Well, geographically speaking, G8 is sandwiched between Alabasta and the Seven Water Cities, and Moriah's reason is not completely invalid!
However, seven or eight days have passed, and the navy of the G8 branch has been trapped in the branch. The Railway Protection Alliance has completely controlled or suppressed the navy in the Sea Train circle...
Many of the navy of the branch directly turned against them, or turned against them after a few symbolic resistances. I don't know when it started, most of the navy within the Railway Protection Alliance has been "corrupted" and is standing on the position of their own location instead of the position of the World Government and the Navy!
Just when the "misunderstanding" on Gekko Moria's side was clarified and he was thought to be leaving, there was news that King Cobra of Alabasta, feeling the recent unrest in the Grand Line, appointed Crocodile as the Marshal of the entire army of Alabasta. Crocodile then said that he had asked Moria to come for no other reason, mainly for military exercises...
Well, in the sea area only half a day away from the G8 branch, a naval combat exercise was conducted... Jonathan was even more afraid to send troops!
Zhan Guo was furious at this time. Although the Railway Protection Alliance had not yet hung the flag of the Revolutionary Army, it now seemed that these guys were definitely birds of a feather.
What made him even more unacceptable was, what did Alabasta mean? What did Crocodile and Moria mean?
Although he had long felt that the Seven Warlords of the Sea were unreliable, and even had some objections to the Seven Warlords of the Sea policy of the World Government, Sengoku did not expect that two of the Seven Warlords of the Sea would attack the World Government at the same time?
Of course, in name, neither the Seven Warlords of the Sea nor Alabasta openly opposed the World Government, so under the pressure of the situation, Sengoku did not make any statement about their behavior, but just let Jonathan stay in G8 and not give them a chance.
And the furious Sengoku and the three admirals of the headquarters who also felt the pressure only noticed these at this time, and did not notice other subtle reactions...
For example, Smoker, who had arrived at Calez Island not long ago, applied for the autonomous recruitment of navy officers on several nearby islands after learning about the incident of the Road Protection Alliance, in case of emergency - this document was easily approved by Akainu.
For example, in Rogue Town, the new commander, Lieutenant Colonel Dashiqi, led the navy to a great victory over the pirate coalition that wanted to attack Rogue Town and open up the East China Sea to the entrance of the Grand Line. Sengoku casually issued a document for promotion to colonel.
There was also a rebellion in the southwest of the Red Earth Continent, which was almost the center of the section sandwiched between the West Sea and the South China Sea, which had "little to do" with them. Marshal Kong led the new army to quell the rebellion. At the same time, Zefa, who had been leading the "pirate guerrillas" and wandering in the West Sea, also followed the order of Marshal Kong and landed directly from the West Sea to the Red Earth Continent to Ceyuan...
Unfortunately, it was only three days "ahead" of the large-scale uprising in the West Sea. Otherwise, if Zefa was there, he would definitely be able to wipe out the surrounding revolutionary army.
And if Marshal Kong had not gone to the southwest, perhaps this time the World Government would have recruited the new army to quell the rebellion!
Although the Revolutionary Army is the enemy of all the organizations under the World Government, the Navy's responsibility is more to suppress pirates, and now... except for the two official pirates who are very jumpy, other troubles are obviously caused by the Revolutionary Army.
At this time, all the naval branches in the four seas could not be relied on. They were even blamed by the World Government for not being able to effectively suppress the rebellions in the four seas.
The closest pillar, the G8 branch, was also frightened by Crocodile and Moria, whose intentions were unclear.
The various small naval branches in charge of the Railway Protection Alliance, and even the grassroots officials of the World Government, mostly joined the Railway Protection Alliance at this time...
In the month when the World Government ordered the sea train to be nationalized, a series of changes occurred!
For this reason, Sakaski, one of the three admirals of the headquarters, known as Akainu, directly used the authority of the headquarters admiral to launch a demon-killing order against the Seven Water Capitals!
After Sengoku and Garp knew about it, they were also shocked. For this reason, Sengoku even called Akainu to reprimand him.
But Akainu's reason was also sufficient - if the most "jumpy" one was not pressed back with the simplest and crudest means at this time, the chaos would be even more unstoppable.
Let’s not talk about the distant future… Crocodile and Moriah are obviously observing the situation. Once the World Government shows signs of weakness, they may attack the G8 Division immediately, and even Alabasta may be involved!
On the contrary, if the Road Protection Alliance is crushed with the force of thunder, then they can calmly deal with Crocodile and Moriah who are afraid of the consequences. As for a little sacrifice… in comparison, it is completely acceptable!
Besides, Akainu doesn’t think this is a sacrifice. After all, the civilians of the Seven Water City also participated in the rebellion.
Sengoku has to admit that what Akainu said makes some sense. Besides, the Demon Slayer Order is irreversible. Even he has no right to revoke Akainu’s Demon Slayer Order.
Ten Navy Headquarters warships, nearly 10,000 Navy Headquarters soldiers, and five Navy Headquarters vice admirals…
This is completely different from one or two large Navy divisions. It is stronger than the total strength of the G8 Division!
Then the Navy Headquarters received an urgent message...
The ten warships that were carrying out the Demon Slaying Order were ambushed by the Big Mom Pirates. Although Big Mom did not show up, Katakuri, one of the Four Generals, appeared on the battlefield, and several other dessert ministers also showed up!
Needless to say, the banner was raised - the rails of the sea train were covered by Big Mom.
None of the pirates in the first half of the Grand Line could withstand a wave of the Demon Slaying Order, but in the Four Emperors of the New World... Any one of them has the strength to challenge the Navy Headquarters alone - it's just that they are unlikely to win, but it's no problem to fight back and forth.
As for the Big Mom Pirates, they are checked by the other Four Emperors, so they will definitely not fully support the first half of the Grand Line, but there is no problem in dispatching a detachment!
As a result, the Navy Headquarters was in trouble - the Demon Slayer Order failed, none of the branches in various places were useful, and even the branches in the four seas were still retreating under the attack of the revolutionary army in various places... As
for how Katakuri returned to the first half of the Grand Line without being discovered, Sengoku had no time to think about it - there were many possibilities.
"Has Borsalino not come back yet? Then don't wait! Kuzan, Sakaski, you will each integrate the headquarters' manpower. I have decided that in 48 hours, I will personally lead the headquarters navy to attack the rebellion in the Water City!" Sengoku issued an order at the Navy meeting.
At this time, Kizaru was not in Marinford because of other tasks. Only Aokiji and Akainu came back.
"Yes!" Akainu and Aokiji answered one after another.
"Garp, Marinford will be handed over to you from now on." Sengoku said.
"Don't worry, even if someone is so brave, I will give him a punch!" said Garp.
Although he is only a lieutenant general, Garp's position in the navy is second only to Sengoku. Like Marshal Sengoku and former Admiral Zephyr, he is a veteran of the navy. He has refused to be promoted just to be able to fight on the front line and to express his dissatisfaction with the decision-making of the World Government.
When Sengoku personally conquered the Road Protection Alliance, Garp's presence was undoubtedly the most reassuring - even Sengoku and the admiral who knew his son's identity did not doubt this.
Nearly two months have passed since Charlos Saint was attacked near the Seven Waters...
The huge gates of Marinford opened, and countless naval warships poured out, aiming at the Seven Waters, all the way to the waves!
Even the sea kings, facing this mighty and dangerous fleet, hid in the seabed and gave way.
Although all the elites of the navy were not concentrated like in the "Battle of the Top" in the original work, the power dispatched by the Navy Headquarters at this moment is no longer comparable to a demon-killing order. Even against Big Mom's group, they can fight - but they may not win!
However, there is no pressure when facing a small team led by Kaji!
Even the reason for sending out such a disproportionate force is to blow up Big Mom's branch and the Road Protection Alliance in one fell swoop, and to restore the momentum of the navy, otherwise the situation has begun to get out of control.
At the same time, Sengoku, who was still arguing with Akainu whether to kill or capture Katakuri and others from the Big Mom Pirates alive, did not know that hundreds of submarines were on standby at the bottom of the sea twelve hours away from Marinford...
They have been on standby here for nearly two months - in order not to be discovered, two months ago, when the navy was not on guard, they had already brought enough supplies and "squatted" on the bottom of the sea to eat, drink, defecate and urinate!
Guan Liyuan had also reunited with them half a month ago - Guan Liyuan was alone, and no matter how alert the navy was, it would be difficult to find a target of one person on the sea.
"Are you all ready? Twelve hours after Sengoku and the others leave, we will set out to attack Marinford. The Heroes and I will be the spearheads, and we must control Marinford within six hours! Before Sengoku and the others come back, open the underwater prison and destroy the Judicial Island!"
