After Guan Liyuan returned to Dressrosa, he first handed over the defense to Lindbergh. At the same time, the Heroic Corps had also gathered in Dressrosa.
Although Lindbergh was the army commander of the Southern Army, he was better at technology research and development, especially in recent years, and had basically been away from the front line.
At this time, the four major army commanders of the Revolutionary Army, Crow of the Northern Army had not recovered from his injuries after being assassinated by Sora's men, and was now mainly responsible for intelligence work and did not appear on the front line; Bello Betty of the Eastern Army, still relied on the ability of the "Inspiration Fruit" to make trouble all over the world; the perverted giant Mori of the Western Army, now ate, slept and fought Kaido with Dragon.
As the second core of the Revolutionary Army, Dressrosa is even more important than the White Earth Island "Baldigo".
As the lair of the Revolutionary Army, Baldigo is only well concealed, very desolate, and basically no one lives there except the families of the Revolutionary Army...
During the World Government period, the Revolutionary Army always shrank in the shadows, so the lair would choose such a place. Now that the Revolutionary Army has come to the fore, Dressrosa, which is well connected and located in the center of the New World Revolutionary Army Alliance circle, is obviously more suitable as the new core of the Revolutionary Army.
However, the haze of war has already enveloped this country of love and passion. The Revolutionary Army has a strong control over Dressrosa. Although the streets seem deserted, under the guidance of public opinion, there is not much resistance from the people.
After all, more than a year ago, this place was freed from the "tragedy of dolls". The people have great resentment towards the World Government. After the incident of Steel Bone Sora's attempt to use the fruit of obliteration was made public, they have lost trust in Marijoa's alliance...
Facing the crusade of the League of Nations, the civilians of Dressrosa, even if they can't be said to have the heart to destroy their families and country, at least support the Revolutionary Army and confront them!
At this time, Aokiji has swept across the first part of the New World. The Kingdom of Prodians near Dressrosa was attacked by Aokiji because it refused to allow the navy to enter. The War King Elizabello has brought his guards and confidants to Dressrosa to join the Revolutionary Army.
"This is the letter of war that Aokiji asked you to convey to me. It has not been passed on to others, right?" Guan Liyuan confirmed to Elizabello.
As the king of the Kingdom of Prodians, although Elizabello does not love his people more than himself like Cobra, he can be regarded as a qualified king.
Otherwise, in the original work, he would not have personally risked participating in the Duel Tournament of the Flame Fruit in order to investigate the situation in Dressrosa...
The reason why he gave up his country and fled with his guards without firing a shot was because Elizabello found a hint in Aokiji's "letter of war". This letter of war was also for Guan Liyuan!
"This is what my military advisor Da Gama got from Aokiji when he went to negotiate. Only he and I have seen it. It is absolutely reliable." Elizabello said.
Guan Liyuan nodded when he heard it.
Indeed, the content of this letter also seems to be conveyed by Aokiji himself...
Although it is indeed a "declaration of war" in general, what it wants to express is that it wants to fight the Revolutionary Army in Dressrosa "a battle" - what will happen after the battle is probably not something Zephyr can control.
Elizabello also saw this, so he did not fight to the death with Aokiji...
Moreover, the former navy led by Aokiji is at least the official army of the League of Nations. There is no need to worry that they will burn, kill and loot in the Kingdom of Prodians like pirates. Elizabello's approach is fundamentally different from that of the King of the Drum Kingdom, Walpo, who threw the country to Blackbeard and only cared about escaping.
"Lindberg, withdraw the warships loaded with Pinghai guns on the southeast coast to the two wings first. Stand by without orders and do not attack without authorization." Guan Liyuan said.
"Understood."
Since Aokiji only wanted to "fight", Guan Liyuan did not want to hurt him too much...
Originally, Dressrosa, as the production base of Pinghai guns, stored more than 50 self-propelled Pinghai guns and more than 60 ship-borne Pinghai guns, most of which were prepared to be shipped to the hands of revolutionary forces around the world, but since Aokiji was coming, all of them were left.
At this time, whether it was ship-borne guns or self-propelled guns, they were all fixed on the southeast coast, which was the direction where Aokiji and the original navy would come.
Nearly 120 Pinghai guns fired at the same time, equivalent to ten navy admirals, constantly firing aoe in front of them. How long they can last depends on the energy supply-a special "battery" whose raw materials include gold, which was transformed from the Pluto power system by Lindberg and Franky.
Of course, it is not an optimization and transformation, but all the incomprehensible parts are replaced with technologies that they understand, such as... Pluto's power system does not produce carbon dioxide, and those who don't know it may think it is a soda machine!
After the two people's various transformations day and night, the performance of Pluto's power source has declined to varying degrees. Later, Lindberg and Franky selected the one with the least decline as the "finished product of independent research and development".
Originally, if Aokiji really wanted to fight, he would definitely be waiting for 120 gates!
Although this kind of admiral-level large-scale attack is not very effective for masters, it is mainly aimed at low- and medium-level combat power, but the coverage area can definitely surprise the navy.
If it is on land, the domineering color domineering can also play the role of aoe harvesting low- and medium-level combat power, but on the sea, because the distance between ships is too far, even if the domineering color domineering is launched, it can often only be effective on one ship or a few ships in a cluster. In a naval battle that stretches across the entire coastline, the domineering color domineering has limited effect.
In comparison, Akainu's Meteor Volcano, Aokiji's Ice Age, and Whitebeard, Ace and other abilities suitable for large-scale attacks actually cover a larger area than Conqueror's Haki, and are not limited to "self-centered".
So in a large-scale battle like the "Battle of the Top" in the original work, Whitebeard and others did not use Conqueror's Haki...
Of course, people like Hancock and Luffy whose abilities are not suitable for large-scale attacks and who also have Conqueror's Haki themselves, actually use Conqueror's Haki very practically. The reason why Hancock didn't use it when she was on the top... was because she was paddling!
Now Guan Liyuan knows that Aokiji just wants to have a symbolic fight with the Revolutionary Army, so Guan Liyuan also put away part of the Pinghai Cannon, so as not to hurt him too much, but can only go all out to fight the Revolutionary Army.
However, Guan Liyuan also understands that if Dressrosa is really vulnerable, Aokiji probably won't mind taking it down, so he still left half of the Pinghai Cannon.
"Mr. Guan, do we really not need to withdraw the main force of the Revolutionary Army? Wouldn't it be too frivolous to bet our fate on Aokiji?" Elizabello asked with some concern.
Not only him, but also the main forces of the four or five countries around that had formed a group with Dressrosa had withdrawn. They didn't know about the Pinghai Cannon, but they only knew that Dressrosa was even emptier than they imagined...
"No need, just wait and see! Even if Zephyr comes in person, it will be useless."
