The general is naturally related to the Buster Order.
The Admirals have the power to launch the Buster Call without having to explain it to anyone. However, the Admirals are also the Celestial Dragons' allies. If a Celestial Dragon is attacked, the Admirals must be dispatched to decide whether to launch a large-scale manhunt or completely eliminate the attacked location, depending on the severity of the situation. Of course, this can also be decided by the Celestial Dragons.
This is an agreement between the world government and the navy, and it is one of the reasons why the navy has such great autonomy.
Similarly, the saying "the Celestial Dragons are not to be trifled with" originated from this; if anyone attacks a Celestial Dragon, the Admirals will be dispatched.
Hearing Sakazuki's words, Kuro was briefly shocked, then his eyes turned ferocious: "What's going on?! Where did the Celestial Dragons go?! They demanded the Buster Call?! Where's the ringleader? Where are the accomplices? What happened?!"
"I don't know either. All I know is that the civilians of the Dominican Republic attacked the Celestial Dragons. The Celestial Dragons made a phone call requesting the use of the Buster Call. There's no time to lose, let's get going!"
After saying that, Sakazuki hung up the phone.
"Hello, hello!"
Kuro wanted to say something more, but seeing that there was no sound from the other end, he threw down the microphone, stood up, and cursed, "Damn Celestial Dragons! I just took office! Can't they just shut up?! They went to the Dominican Republic to have fun and got attacked by the people?!"
But he knew it was a decision made by headquarters, and he couldn't refuse it.
"Where the hell is the Dominican Republic?!" Kuro yelled.
Kro quickly stood up and said, "It's the first half of the Grand Line, within the shipping lanes under Sam William's jurisdiction, an island nation in an archipelago. I don't know anything else, I'll check it out later."
"So what are the Celestial Dragons doing there?!"
Kuro grinned and said, "Damn it, give me a signal. Lida, Kro, you two come with me. Also, notify the three lieutenant generals closest to the Dominican Republic to send ten large warships to rendezvous with them there. Oh, and make sure the timing is right. Don't rush it; you can take it slow."
As he spoke, he picked up the Den Den Mushi again and dialed a number.
Soon, the Den Den Mushi was connected.
"Kuro? No, General Kinni." The person on the other end changed to a more gentlemanly and polite face.
"William, you idiot, are you still in the first half of the New World?!" Kuro roared.
"I... I'm taking care of some things at the park. Don't worry, I'll be back in the New World right away!" The Den Den Mushi looked startled and quickly said.
"I didn't tell you to go back! Go to the Dominican Republic. Some Celestial Dragons were attacked there. Go find out why and make sure they don't die... never mind, they're probably already dead, don't worry about it. Go and see if there's any mastermind or anything, and arrest him!"
"Celestial Dragons?!" William was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what he meant and said in a deep voice, "Understood, Golden Lion, I will do as you say."
"It's not just 'do as you're told,' it's 'as soon as possible'!"
Snap!
Kuro hung up the phone and continued yelling at Kro: "Send a telegram to the navy near the Dominican Republic and tell them all to go there. Send as many ships as possible, even merchant ships are fine. Just bring all the people from that kingdom to me!"
"Take them away?"
Kro was taken aback for a moment, then immediately stood at attention and said, "Yes! I understand!"
Everyone knows what kind of people the Celestial Dragons are. Their mission is to destroy everything in that country, but only if they arrive in time. If the personnel have already evacuated before then, it definitely doesn't count.
This is why Kuro only seeks out lieutenant generals from his own faction or moderates; he would never indiscriminately choose those from the hawks.
The lieutenant generals are certainly in various locations now, and it will take time for them to get there. This time is enough for the Dominican Republic's personnel to evacuate.
As for whose fault it really is?
Who cares whose fault it is? Even if there are good-natured Celestial Dragons, they can't risk the lives of everyone in the kingdom.
Even if the number of people is small, there are definitely tens of thousands of people involved. Even if it is the actions of a few people, tens of thousands of people cannot be held accountable.
Besides, Kuro is completely clueless right now and doesn't know what's going on. He should send someone to find out the details first.
...
The first half of the Grand Line, the Dominican Kingdom.
This is an archipelago nation, dotted like stars in a string. The islands are all quite large, each with a city and several towns, and a large population.
On one of the islands, shouts of battle filled the air.
The people shouting for battle were a mixed bunch; most were civilians in ordinary clothes, but there were also soldiers of the kingdom in uniform. All of them had bloodshot eyes and were fighting each other with weapons in hand.
Yes, they are fighting.
Like a meat grinder, the fighting was reckless and brutal. A soldier stabbed a civilian with a spear, but he was quickly shot dead by a soldier with bloodshot eyes and a musket. The soldier was then tackled by several civilians. Those with weapons used them, and those without used their hands to gouge out the civilians' eyes and mouths. Some even used their teeth to bite them!
They acted as if they had gone mad, and they didn't distinguish between friend and foe!
Amidst the surging crowd, the few figures in white seemed to be swallowed up.
"What on earth is going on?!"
A navy officer was yelling while clutching his gun. At his feet lay many other navy officers, including Lieutenant Commander Lefie, who had made the phone call earlier. They were all riddled with bullets and lay there barely breathing.
boom!!
A loud bang rang out in front of them, creating a gust of wind that blew a group of people away.
Sazir clenched his fists, his expression shifting between anger and rage as he stared at the frenzied crowd. He roared back, "Retreat! Take the wounded marines with you!"
“Colonel, a Celestial Dragon…” A navy officer was still hesitating.
Before he could finish speaking, Sazir suddenly lunged forward, soaring over the navy officer's head, his fist generating a burst of wind pressure as he forcefully punched forward.
Bang!
The wind pressure surged up, scattering the civilians who were preparing to launch a surprise attack from behind the navy.
Sazir landed on the ground and shouted, "Forget about the Celestial Dragons, they're all turned to mush! Protect ourselves now! These people here are crazy, retreat first! Otherwise, none of us will be able to leave. Don't worry about whether we can fight these civilians, just get out of here first. I'll take full responsibility for any consequences!"
"yes!"
The sailors responded quickly, pointing their guns at the charging civilians, but Sazel stopped them immediately, yelling, "Use hand-to-hand combat, you idiots! Don't use guns!"
With that, he threw another punch. The wind pressure created by the impact of the punch-punch fruit sent all the red-eyed men rushing towards him flying. "The Navy doesn't attack civilians. Even if it's absolutely necessary, don't use guns. What about your training? What about your physical skills?! Seriously, everyone gather behind me, I'll lead you out!"
"Yes, Captain Kuro!" the sailors shouted.
Sazir bent slightly, baring his teeth, and said, "If I find out who caused this, I'll make sure they know how powerful I, Sazir Kuro, am!"
