"Minister, the New World III has been developed. Do you want to give it a try this time? Maybe we can prevent them from reaching Dressrosa!" An older Luoli looked at Guan Liyuan eagerly and asked.

"No need." Guan Liyuan said.

The older Luoli pouted and sighed, "Feng Du has made many great contributions, and I am the only one who is idle behind... Oh..."

That's right, the older Luoli was transferred from Crocodile to the Miss. Golden Week of the Revolutionary Army by Guan Liyuan together with "Fon Clay". However, this code name has not been used for a long time. His real name is Zhuoer.

Zhuoer was only eight years old when he was discovered by Crocodile to join the Baroque Works. Not long after, he was taken away by Guan Liyuan.

However, unlike Von Clay, Zhuoer's presence was not high after being poached by the Revolutionary Army...

"New World III is our secret weapon. It's a waste to use it in this battle." Guan Liyuan comforted.

This is not a lie by Guan Liyuan. There were so many people in Baroque Works at the beginning, why did Guan Liyuan only take von Clay and Zol?

It was simply because he had the highest expectations for the two!

The expectation for von Clay was naturally his fruit ability, and the expectation for Zol was her painting skills...

Zol's personal combat ability was negligible, but her painting skills could produce a strong "psychological suggestion" on creatures. Guan Liyuan specifically confirmed that, like the setting in the original work, this was not a fruit ability, but in the field of art and psychology!

In the original work, Zol could manipulate the target's emotions by drawing a certain color or a certain structure of graphics, which once made Luffy helpless...

"Really? Not because I didn't work hard enough?" Zol asked expectantly.

"Of course, Zol's paintings are the best! Bello Betty said last time that you increased her fruit ability by 30%... You see, this is equivalent to one-third of Bello Betty. If you work harder, you will surpass Dragon!" Guan Liyuan said sincerely.

Although there are many ways to restrain psychological suggestion through patterns, it is more flexible than the fruit ability and has greater room for improvement.

For example, after drawing on the bottom of the ship, it can replace the "sea stone" in the calm zone as a means to avoid being attacked by the sea king; for example, after customizing a special flag for Belo Betty of the Eastern Army, the people who see her flag will be extra effective for the effect of the encouragement fruit, etc.

However, Zhuoer has been conducting research and development work in the Revolutionary Army for a long time, and Guan Liyuan's expectations for her are more inclined to creativity, rather than directly fighting on the front line...

If you use this hypnotic ability to fight directly, you can abuse the weak, but it is not only not stable enough, once the pattern is spent, or there is no time to draw, it will be a fatal mistake, especially Zhuoer's own combat effectiveness is extremely poor, and Guan Liyuan does not want her to be distracted from combat training.

In Guan Liyuan's view, if Zhuoer can comprehend the color of observation and even the domineering color of the king through painting one day, the effect must be very terrifying!

This is not just Guan Liyuan's fantasy. Perhaps the requirements for Conqueror's Haki are higher, but Observation Haki... Princess Otohime was also physically weak, even worse than ordinary fishmen, but she was able to possess special Observation Haki. Given time, Drow should be able to do it. However,

just like Otohime's special Observation Haki and Belo Betty's Encouragement Fruit ability, it is difficult for little Drow's hypnotic seal to take effect on a mentally strong target.

After Drow's request for battle was rejected, within a few hours, the navy fleet led by Aokiji could be seen at the port of Dressrosa.

Thirty of the most conspicuous thousand-man ships were seen lying across the junction of the sea and the sky, stacked up and stretching for several kilometers. There were also smaller assault ships, frigates, and boarding ships...

From this posture alone, it is clear that Aokiji did not simply want to make a feint with the Revolutionary Army. If Guan Liyuan had not returned, the Heroic Corps could not exert its maximum combat power, and the Pinghai had not been mass-produced, the empty Dressrosa might have been in danger of being directly pushed!

When Aokiji sent troops from Marijoa, he mobilized 100,000 navy, most of whom were former navy of the old world government. Although the elite level was not as high as that in the original battle of the top, it could also be regarded as elite. As for

the super luxurious lineup of 100,000 officers and officers in the original battle of the top... the current international alliance is no longer able to organize it. The

former world government had tens of millions of navy, and now the number has not actually changed, and has even increased, but... it is completely scattered!

If there is sufficient planning and preparation in advance, the World Government can select the best from the tens of millions of navy officers and concentrate 100,000 officers, but in today's ocean, the Grand Line is divided into two parts. The "Paradise" part is still more influenced by the old world government faction in the League of Nations, and the "New World" is divided by the Revolutionary Army and the Four Emperors... Among

the four seas, the East Sea and the South Sea, which are sandwiched between the "Paradise", are also dominated by the League of Nations, but the Revolutionary Army also has a certain influence, roughly 70% and 30%; the North Sea is the opposite, because it is next to the "New World", the Revolutionary Army has a stronger influence, and some major branches are here; the West Sea is half of the Blackbeard Teach's power, followed by the remnants of the Flower Kingdom, the League of Nations, and the Revolutionary Army has a relatively small influence.

Although the Revolutionary Army is theoretically also a part of the League of Nations, since Steel Bone Kong and Zephyr twice opposed the Revolutionary Army, everyone can see that the cooperation between the Revolutionary Army and the old world government faction is already in name only.

Now it seems that the International League has been controlled by the faction of the Old World Government, and its strength is stronger than that of the Revolutionary Army. But in fact, not to mention that Guan Liyuan is confident that the situation in the East China Sea can be reversed at any time, and there are also great differences within the International League.

There are three families that can support the mobilization of a million-level army: Zephyr's Neo Navy, Aokiji's original Navy, and Crocodile, who owns a quarter of Paradise and Alabasta after conquering the G8 Fortress.

The next-level ones are the Road Protection Alliance, Coby of Marinford, Smoker of Kalezi, the allied Nine Snake Island and Fishman Island... They all have their own influence.

From the broad concept of "International League", that is, including the faction of the Old World Government, including local factions, including the Revolutionary Army and Teach who defected to the International League... Generally speaking, the number of troops is actually more than 10 million, but no one has the ability to concentrate them now. Even Zephyr can only directly control more than a million people of the Neo family.

Aokiji, who inherited the original navy, is actually only slightly weaker than Zephyr in terms of military power. However, even at the peak of the World Government, there were only tens of millions of navy soldiers, and no warships to support tens of millions of navy soldiers going to sea at the same time. Even if washboards were counted, they would not be enough to keep them floating on the sea at the same time, and there was no logistics to support the long-distance mobilization of tens of millions of navy soldiers…

After all, the navy in the world of pirates only refers to "the army on the sea", and the concept of "sea" is relative to the Red Earth Continent. Not only the army engaged in naval battles is called "navy". It is not surprising that the navy stationed on small islands to protect local stability has never been on a warship in their life.

Moreover, in terms of the Grand Line, being able to mobilize 100,000 naval forces is already the limit. Otherwise, with the cost of supply in the Grand Line, even a mountain of gold and silver would not be enough.

In the past, naval battles were also like this. Most of the troops were stationed in various places. When long-distance operations were required, in addition to the elite troops of the headquarters and the elite troops of the fortresses, they relied on the elites of the garrison personnel gathered in advance to form a punitive force.

As the commander of the punitive army this time, Aokiji was still very sincere. He selected 100,000 elite troops from the million-strong original naval army. As soon as he went out to sea, he achieved great results. A small half of Kaido's territory had fallen into Aokiji's hands, plus the allies around Dressrosa... Aokiji now has 50,000 people stationed, and another 50,000 have already arrived in Dressrosa!

Thirty thousand-man ships and hundreds of small warships made the War King and others feel depressed...

If Dressrosa only had the combat power shown by the Revolutionary Army now, it would be overturned. However, until now, Guan Liyuan, as the commander, still seemed to have no intention of asking for help.

If the War King and others had not understood the significance of Dressrosa to the Revolutionary Army, they would probably have thought that they were used and abandoned by the Revolutionary Army...

However, Guan Liyuan was more relieved because he found that there were some reporters' ships around the battlefield, and there were also war correspondents who arrived in advance at the port, waiting to broadcast the battle in the non-combat zone.

This was obviously arranged by Aokiji. Guan Liyuan did not intend to touch these reporters. Instead, he ordered to avoid the area where the reporters were when the war started!

If Aokiji had no other ideas, there would be no need to broadcast the battlefield live at this time...

And the opposite of Dressrosa was the direct area of ​​​​Marijoa and the League of Nations!

At this time, most of the members of the old world government faction were very excited that Marshal Aokiji was really powerful. It has only been a few months, and he has already suppressed Dressrosa.

Once Dressrosa is "recaptured", it will be possible to look forward to the scene of the complete defeat of the Revolutionary Army!

Could it be that the grand blueprint of taking the New World under control is about to be realized?

Before this, when Zephyr and Sengoku appointed Aokiji as the Admiral of the Navy and the Commander-in-Chief of the Crusade Army, some people in the Council were worried that Aokiji might be passive and lazy. Now it seems that there is no such concern.

However, contrary to the optimism of others, Zephyr has privately questioned Sengoku and Lucci, why did Aokiji come up with a battlefield live broadcast at this time?

Want to take credit for himself? Enhance the influence of the original Navy?

If it was just that, Zephyr could still accept it, but I'm afraid it's not that simple...

Especially Lucci still retorted to Zephyr that this belongs to the autonomy of the commander of the crusade army, and the Grand Speaker also agreed to let Zephyr "worry less".

Others on the Dressrosa side have little confidence, but Guan Liyuan is not worried at all, and Marijoa is that others are not worried, but Zephyr is a little panicked...

Nearly two years later than the original Battle of the Top, this unprecedented world-broadcast battle started in Dressrosa!

The battle was somewhat unexpected at the beginning. Facing Aokiji's approach, the Revolutionary Army of Dressrosa seemed to have no preparation for a battle at sea from the beginning. The few warships were also hovering on both wings and looked like "eating melons" from a distance.

It seemed that the Revolutionary Army was "cowardly" at the beginning, ready to give up control of the sea and fight against the navy...

However, in the eyes of most people, this was a bit confusing. With Aokiji, as long as the warships approached the port, they could directly use the freezing ability to "man-made" a piece of ice, and there would be no problem of large warships docking.

Just when everyone was wondering whether all the warships of the Revolutionary Army had been transferred away, with Guan Liyuan's order, dozens of Pinghai cannons fired bright orange shells into the air...

In terms of caliber, the Pinghai cannon is actually not large, but the length is very different from ordinary artillery, and it looks "slender", which did not attract attention at first.

At this time, the bowl-sized ball of light was blasted out without much fanfare, making it even less noticeable. Moreover, the distance was too far, two or three times the effective range of ordinary artillery!

Although it was flashing, it was just like an ordinary physical shell, and it was also parabolic, first flying into the sky and then falling down...

With only sixty guns, in a naval battle, if ten shells could hit the ship in a salvo, it would be considered lucky, and if one or two could hit a key position and cause an effective blow, it would be considered a good loss.

However, when the flashing shells approached, Aokiji, his deputy Kizaru, and other new generals such as Taotu and Chatun, all felt a tremor in their hearts!

Their observation Haki had already noticed that something was wrong with this thing, but most of them were too late to stop it...

After all, this thing was not aimed at any one of them, but fell randomly in the fleet.

I saw these bright orange "shells" falling to almost the same height as the sea surface. Whether they fell in the "mid-air" above the sea surface or on the warships, it did not affect their explosion in the original place!

Unlike ordinary explosives, the product after the explosion is a shock wave that spreads in the horizontal direction and spreads to the surroundings...

The biggest feature is that the impact force is weakened in the direction of action. Unlike ordinary explosives, only the power of the central blasting point is guaranteed. If you are far away, as long as you are not unlucky enough to be hit by shrapnel, there will be no effect.

Sixty flat sea cannons have the effect equivalent to five generals. Using aoe at the same time, even if the formation is scattered, a quarter of the fleet is within the range of influence!

No one noticed these bright orange shells, including the reporters around. If it weren't for some cameras, they would have missed this scene if they were not filming the "military appearance" of the navy's attack...

The only few close-ups captured by accident were selected and replayed in the live broadcasts in various places!

After the explosion of this bright orange "cannonball", accompanied by a violent flash, more than 50% of the small warships within 100 meters lost their ability to sail, and the unlucky ones were directly shattered. Even large warships were shaken to the point that cracks appeared on the hull, and the unlucky ones had a tendency to leak and disintegrate...

Some were closer to the masters and were reacted to by the nearby lieutenant generals and admirals, but the effect was intriguing.

Like the fastest Kizaru, he rushed directly into the air and kicked the bright orange "cannonball" that had not exploded yet. The process... No one could see it clearly, anyway, it was all a ball of light.

But the result was very obvious, that is, Kizaru only detonated the cannonball in advance, causing it to be detonated above the ship. Because the impact force distribution was flat and weak in the vertical direction, the surrounding ships were "pressed" and trembled, and the damage was relatively small.

There was also a lieutenant general who was good at kendo. The "bright orange shell" fell on his deck, and he took the lead and picked it up with a sword... However, the ship was still blown to pieces by the shock wave, and he was also injured. He was rescued by the crew, but it seems that the injury was not too serious. It just seemed that one of his arms could not be lifted for the time being.

What is even more conspicuous is that there is another giant vice admiral who suddenly had an idea and probably rushed forward faster than his reflex arc, and he actually used his body to block all the shock waves, but the price was that he was seriously injured and dying!

"What is this? It's just like an ordinary shell..."

"I didn't feel like I kicked a solid object. My light speed kick just 'detonated' that thing in advance."

"It's a bit like the meat ball fruit of the bear... It's pure impact force. After Barnado used his sword to detonate it, although the distance was very close and he suffered a lot of impact, he was still facing scattered attacks, so the injury was not too serious. Luka directly covered it and blocked all the impact... Now he has lost his combat effectiveness." Taotu jumped onto the giant's ship and checked his injuries.

This is also the difficulty of the Pinghai Cannon. Detonating it in advance will not reduce the power, and it cannot be kicked back or detonated like ordinary shells.

These impacts will definitely explode. If they are allowed to explode, the threat to the masters is not great, but the destructive power to the middle and low-level officers and ships cannot be ignored... It is the same as the admiral's AOE, but the range of a single Pinghai Cannon is smaller.

If it is forcibly "covered", it can indeed save the fleet, but it is stronger than the admiral's single attack...

At least Aokiji and Kizaru can't do it, condensing one-tenth of the AOE power into the range of single-target killing!

Even the giant vice admiral was seriously injured by one blow.

And just a dozen seconds later, there was another round of Pinghai Cannon salvo!

This time the navy had experience, and Aokiji immediately commanded the interception. If it was intercepted in the air, because the impact force is more in the horizontal direction, the impact of exploding "above the head" would be smaller.

"No! This time the casting line seems to be... off?" Chatun said with narrowed eyes.

That's right, this time it's a different trick! Whether it was intercepted in advance or the shells that fell to a certain height, they were "shattered" into several smaller bright orange shells, scattered and falling towards the navy fleet...

Although the power was a little smaller, because there were too many targets and the trajectory was difficult to predict, only one-third were intercepted!

After being baptized again, more than 20 small battleships disintegrated, and three large battleships also showed signs of sinking, and more were anchored in place.

Many grassroots combatants were seriously injured by the shock. Even if they were not directly hit, they were dizzy and staggering at this time, as if they had signs of concussion.

"Disperse, land in advance! The wounded retreat!" Aokiji said, and jumped directly from the main ship and landed on the sea in front of the fleet. In an instant, from the navy fleet to the port of Dressrosa, a thick layer of ice was covered.

The navy also abandoned their ships and charged directly at the port from the ice, and deliberately stretched the battle line to a very long length...

"Heroic troops, get ready!" Guan Liyuan had not expected to force the enemy back with a few rounds of volleys. After all, even if Aokiji had other plans, he couldn't play so fake. It's just that the deterrent effect of the Pinghai Cannon has been exerted. If half of them had not been withdrawn, it is not impossible to eat up the enemy.
