At 7:00 in the morning on October 9, 1520, sixty large warships and hundreds of frigates sailed out of the Navy Headquarters, Marinford. Navy
Marshal Sengoku led the team in person, and the headquarters admirals Akainu and Aokiji cooperated with more than 100,000 navy to conquer the Road Protection Alliance. The Road Protection Alliance, which received the news, was also uneasy at this time. Fortunately, there were many alliance leaders who were cadres of the Revolutionary Army, who secretly boosted morale and played a role in stabilizing people's hearts. In addition, the Big Mom Division led by Katakuri gave them courage, so they did not collapse without a fight...
However, what others did not know at this time was that hundreds of small and medium-sized submarines rushed to Marinford after nightfall that day!
At this time, all the submarines were the elite of the Revolutionary Army-not only the elite in terms of combat effectiveness, but also the elite in terms of trust.
In addition, although the Revolutionary Army still had 100,000 troops, their quality was uneven, so they simply cooperated with the various branches of the Revolutionary Army in the four seas.
These elites are all from the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army and the various local factions directly under it, one person at a time!
The will of the revolution is far from being comparable to the many branches in the four seas and the Grand Line, and those guys who are selling dog meat under the guise of sheep can only be compared to them. Only they can enforce orders and fight wherever they are directed. The other branches are just the expansion forces that Guan Liyuan has stirred up in the past few years, and the water is very large, not much closer than the "cooperative" relationship. What
those branches pursue is their own independent liberation after all, and they don't have a long-term vision. They can only guide, not command.
Even the current "cooperators" are not very reliable, for example... Why did Moonlight Moria appear near G8? Guan Liyuan doesn't know!
Like Crocodile and the others, they are not completely in the same mind as the Revolutionary Army, but they have the same purpose.
And the elite of the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, except for a small number of them who stayed in the New World, the others are already here...
Hundreds of submarines, large ones with hundreds of people, small ones with dozens of people, a total of 8,000, of which 300 are trained by the Anbu, and they cooperate with Guan Liyuan as the spearhead of the attack.
In terms of quantity alone, it is really pitiful. It can be seen how deeply the Revolutionary Army pitted in the failure two years ago - the loss of large troops was not large, but most of the "elite" was lost.
Even the World Government's vigilance against the Revolutionary Army has been relaxed a lot in the past two years!
Fortunately, Guan Liyuan has been pushing the situation like a gear in the past two years, which has given the Revolutionary Army a chance so soon.
But it is different from two years ago. The current Revolutionary Army seems to have much more power and strength than two years ago, but the elite forces fully controlled by the headquarters are much less.
And the real final word is still to be done by the Revolutionary Army Headquarters!
October 10, 3 o'clock in the morning...
As the headquarters of the Navy, Marinford and the underwater prison "Propulsion City" and the "Judicial Island" where the World Government Court Enies are located are triangular and connected by special ocean currents. As long as the gates are opened to each other, they can move quickly between the three.
At the same time, if you want to enter Marinford, you must also pass through the gates on the high wall in the sea.
At this time, because the Warring States had drawn a large number of navy troops to conquer the Seven Water Capitals, the defense forces of Marinford, Impel Down, and Judicial Island had all dropped a lot.
Impel Down had special jailers, so almost all the navy troops outside had withdrawn. Judicial Island also had special guards. At this time, there were still more than 10,000 navy troops, and only more than 10,000 navy troops were left in Marinford...
But even so, no one thought that the Road Protection Alliance would be so bold as to attack the Navy Headquarters. Even most of the navy troops were imagining the trembling of the Road Protection Alliance troops.
The sentry at the west gate was still swinging the searchlight and chatting quietly...
"Mas, tomorrow night, Marshal Zhan Guo will be able to reach the rebellious area of the Railway Protection Alliance, right? Do you want to bet on how long it will take for Marshal Zhan Guo to capture the Seven Water City?"
"Tsk, a brain teaser? You can't fool me. Tomorrow night, we can indeed enter the area of the Railway Protection Alliance, but it will take seven days to reach the Seven Water City, and it will naturally take seven days to contribute to the Seven Water City!"
"Hahaha, you are sure to lose... I bet within two days! There is no need to reach the Seven Water City at all, the Railway Protection Alliance will surrender on its own!"
"This... makes sense."
No matter who it is, they all assume that Zhan Guo will defeat the Railway Protection Alliance, and they don't even need "time", as long as they arrive...
After all, the gap in strength between the two sides is still very large!
"Huh? Look, what is that?" A sharp-eyed sentry shouted.
The lantern holder also shone in the direction he pointed and found that it was a floating corpse... but it was the floating corpse of a sea beast!
"It looks like a large sea beast! Hmm? It's just floating with the waves, it should be the corpse of a sea beast."
"That's right, living sea beasts don't dare to approach here."
"Harper, take people to pull the sea beast up... We'll have a snack at noon, haha."
The sentinels didn't pay much attention, and as usual, pulled up the corpse of the sea beast that "happened" to float over.
A major with observation Haki took a few more glances, but didn't feel that there was a living person inside, so he didn't stop it.
The shelf life of sea beast meat is very long, and in the sea, if it has been dead for a long time, it will soon be eaten by other fish or sea beasts and sea kings, so it must be fresh.
However, just when several navy soldiers were dissecting the sea beast into pieces and wanted to send it to the cafeteria, someone suddenly discovered...
"Huh? There's something in the stomach of this sea beast?"
"Wow... Such a big piece of stone, this sea beast must have choked to death, right? Too stupid..."
"Wait, it looks like a sculpture, could it be swallowed by the underwater ruins?"
"It does look like a man-made sculpture... It's a pity that it was picked up in Marinford, and it must be handed over to the World Government."
"Hurry up! Come back to the night duty after you're done!" A major scolded several people.
But no one noticed that there was a captain and a lieutenant around. When they saw the "One-eyed Stone Man" statue in the belly of the sea beast, their eyes fluctuated slightly, but they immediately covered it up...
Four o'clock in the morning, the last darkness before dawn.
It was also the time for Marinford to change guards-the rules set when Marshal Kong was there, moving in the early morning can ensure wakefulness and alertness.
However, after the change of guard this time, the two navy officers did not go back to rest, but came to the control room of the gate in the headquarters.
"What are you guys doing? Didn't the gate just get repaired a few days ago? I just saw the left leaf shaking a little bit..." Captain Banaka banged on the door of the control room impatiently.
"Huh? I think you are making things difficult for our technicians... They say it's shaking every day. How many times have we repaired it? Come... Come in and show me where it's shaking!"
The technical lieutenant on duty said dissatisfiedly while opening the door. Recently, there were several other lieutenants in Banaka who always said that the gate was not tight and there was friction noise. The technician who was sure that the other party was looking for trouble did not follow the procedures to review the entry and exit of the control room, but let him in directly to let him see the screen on the monitor - it was not shaking at all!
Bang -
"You..."
Bang - bang -
However, this time something unexpected happened. As soon as the two lieutenants came in, they knocked out the head of the control room in charge. The other technicians didn't even have time to ring the bell, and they were knocked out with the handle of the knife one after another!
That’s right. The sea beast hiding the stone man was the internal signal of the Revolutionary Army. At this time, the Revolutionary Army’s submarine fleet had already reached
4:30 in the morning. The new sentry had just changed shifts and was complaining in his heart that the time of changing shifts was too inhumane when a sound of friction and twisting was heard...
"Huh? Why is the gate open? Is there a ship coming in?"
