Ace's domineering aura enveloped the entire venue. This time, he did not hold back, and the domineering aura he released was not just for intimidation.
“Plop—”
“Plop—”
Muffled sounds rang out on the battlefield. The revolutionary army of the Peipei Kingdom lost their combat effectiveness one after another under the pressure of Ace's domineering aura. In the blink of an eye, those revolutionary army soldiers fell to the ground in large numbers.
"It's under control for now."
Ace stood on the city wall, looking at the revolutionary army below who had lost their combat effectiveness, he breathed a sigh of relief, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
However, just when he thought the battle was over, several cannon shots were heard from the city wall not far away.
It turned out that the royal army defending the city saw that the revolutionary army was exposed to the muzzles of artillery, and seeing an opportunity, they directly launched an artillery attack on the revolutionary army that had lost its combat effectiveness.
At this moment, all the remaining ammunition for defending the city was carried to the top of the city wall. The city defense army, which had been controlling the use of artillery shells, seized this opportunity and planned to wipe out the revolutionary army that had lost its ability to resist.
The sudden sound of cannon fire made Ace and Sabo's faces change.
Although Ace used his Conqueror's Haki to force the revolutionary army to lose their fighting capacity in order to protect the royal city, this did not mean that the two of them would stand firmly on the side of the Kingdom of Pai Pai and allow the kingdom's army to execute ordinary people who rose up in resistance.
Their intervention was intended to end the war, not to help the people of the Kingdom of Compensation massacre ordinary people.
Long before they set out, they had received a relatively clear mission requirement from their headquarters. Their mission was simply to drive away the revolutionary army.
Aiding and aiding the evil is neither the requirement of the Marine Headquarters nor is it consistent with the existing values of Ace and Sabo.
"Sabo!"
Ace glanced to the side, seeing that the shells fired from the direction of the city wall were about to fall into the crowd, and there was a hint of urgency in his tone.
The two brothers had perfect tacit understanding. In fact, there was no need for Ace to remind Sabo. The moment the cannon sounded, Sabo was already prepared to respond.
"Thunder Arrow!"
Sabo had no intention of dodging away. He simply clasped his hands together, and when he opened them again, countless arrows flashing with lightning appeared between his palms.
Once triggered, these arrows shot out directly, and for a moment, lightning flashed in the air.
The speed of lightning is much faster than the speed of flying cannonballs. In just a blink of an eye, all the arrows released by Sabo hit the black cannonballs falling towards the revolutionary army's position, and the black cannonballs were directly detonated in mid-air.
As bursts of air explosions occurred, flames covered half of the sky.
At this moment, Ace, who was next to Sabo, also flashed and disappeared on the top of the city wall. Judging from the direction he left, he should be going to settle accounts with the leader of the Kingdom Army.
After a round of artillery fire, the walls of the royal city were completely silent, and there was no more sound of cannon fire.
"T-Bone, bring some people to clean up the battlefield."
"Those unconscious revolutionary soldiers will be temporarily detained on our warship. If there is really no room for them, release the most unconscious ones first and keep those who are still conscious or have a clear mind!"
Sabo looked at the revolutionary army lining up below, glanced in the direction Ace left, then took out a Den Den Mushi from his arms and conveyed this order to the navy holding back on the ship.
Colonel T-Bone, who was in charge of the warship, had actually been paying close attention to the battle situation on the island. He was also paying close attention to the communication Den Den Mushi left for him by Ace and Sabo.
As soon as Sabo's order arrived, the soldiers on the warship began to work rapidly.
Qingteng Prison. Not long after, T left behind a small team of more than ten people, and then led a large number of hundreds of navy soldiers towards the inland direction.
After successfully suppressing the Revolutionary Army, Ace and Sabo's work became easier.
For them, the revolutionary army is actually the biggest trouble they have to face. As long as this trouble is solved, the task will be half completed.
Under the revolutionary army's riot, most places in the Peipei Kingdom, except the royal city, have been occupied by the revolutionary army. The officials stationed in various places by the royal city have also long been controlled by the revolutionary army and imprisoned in cells by them.
The hundreds of navy officers under Ace and Sabo consciously released most of the civilians of mediocre strength and then selectively detained some of the revolutionary army.
After all, the real revolutionary army leading the rebellion in the Kingdom of Peipei is a minority, and the vast majority of people are actually the lowest-level civilians.
It is actually very easy to identify these two types of people. You just need to look at the calluses on their hands and the condition of their muscles.
Long's revolutionary army has been established for so many years, and those who he assigns to lead the rebellion in the Kingdom of Compensation will not be rookies.
There are actually obvious signs of training on those people's bodies, but for the vast majority of ordinary local people who were forced to flee, even having enough to eat is actually a problem that they have only had recently. It is really too difficult to find signs of training on these people.
After all, there are limited spaces in the cells on their naval warships, and arresting ordinary people is of no use to them.
This was Sabo's instruction, and his sailors carried it out beautifully.
Their navy is the elite from the headquarters of the navy. These navy members were originally going to follow Ace, Sabo and others to explore the New World. Every soldier is the best among the ordinary branches of the other four seas.
This group of people not only do things in an organized manner, but are also very efficient.
After selectively detaining a group of revolutionaries, the navy began to spread to various towns in the Kingdom of Compensation to receive officials who were detained by the revolutionaries in those towns.
Compared with ordinary people who could be released by them on their own initiative, it was not so easy for these officials imprisoned by the revolutionary army to leave their cells.
The Navy Headquarters sent people here with the intention of investigating the Kingdom of Compensation. Coincidentally, those officials were also detained by the revolutionary army. Taking advantage of the information gap, the Navy only needed to hide their identities and interrogate those officials on the spot.
As for the chief officer of this mission, Sabo and his companions, after making these arrangements, they headed towards the royal city. They were not only going to control the revolutionary army, but also all the princes and nobles of the Kingdom of Peipei.
Things have developed to this point, and some processes can be omitted.
Who says the royal families of the member states can only be judged by the Judicial Island representing the World Government?! With the Kingdom of Pai Pai in turmoil, Sabo, Ace, and the others can definitely make special arrangements.
Even if they don't have solid evidence, they can imprison the royal family members first. After eliminating some interfering factors, they will have enough time to continue to dig deeper into the things they want to investigate.
The revolutionary army caused a huge disturbance in the Kingdom of Peipei, and almost all forces in the world are now focusing their attention on this small country in the North Sea.
Everyone wanted to see how the Navy Headquarters, led by Yoshikazu Tsugakuni, would deal with what happened in the Kingdom of Peipei.
Therefore, when Ace and Sabo appeared on the battlefield and suppressed all the revolutionary army members, the news spread like wildfire.
The two commanders of the revolutionary army were killed in this small country in the North Sea. This was undoubtedly a big news in the world. As the news that the rebellion in the Kingdom of Pei Pei was suppressed by the navy was reported by the media newspapers, the reputation of the two young men, Ace and Sabo, also rose.
Before this, people called them the "Rising Stars of the Navy", but now, after they joined forces to defeat the two commanders of the Revolutionary Army, outsiders no longer dared to use the title of "Rising Star" when referring to them.
Through their achievements, the two of them have successfully made themselves among the world's top teams. People call them "future admirals" and "pillars of the navy" to express their respect for these two young people.
It can be said that the reputation accumulated by the commanders of the Revolutionary Army through battle after battle became a stepping stone for Ace and Sabo to move forward.
Although the member states of the World Government do not know what Ace and Sabo did in the Kingdom of Papa after suppressing the Revolutionary Army, they know that the Marine Headquarters does have the ability to protect the member states.
Crow and Mori not only acted as cushions to support Sabo and Ace, but also further enhanced the prestige of the Marine Headquarters.
Since that news came out, the navy's work of collecting gold from the sky has become much smoother.
The member states have seen the statement of the Marine Headquarters, and have also witnessed the terror of the Marine Headquarters through that battle.
Just two young men from the Navy Headquarters dealt with the two commanders of the troublesome Revolutionary Army. If all the generals and officers from the Navy Headquarters were dispatched, the Revolutionary Army that had troubled the member states for many years would probably be wiped out in a very short time.
With this mentality, some member states that were deeply troubled by the revolutionary army, after tightening their belts and paying the Tianshang gold, asked for help from the Navy Headquarters, hoping that the Navy Headquarters could send troops to help them resist the revolutionary army.
The royal families were actually very clear-headed at this time. Rather than guarding their wealth while the royal city was breached by the revolutionary army, it would be better to take out the wealth and hand it over to the Navy Headquarters as heavenly gold in exchange for protection.
The impact of the arrest of two army commanders of the revolutionary army is still expanding.
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
As the work of collecting heavenly gold began to come to an end, there were some changes in the focus of Tsugikoku Yuichi's work.
Sabo and Ace had done a remarkable job in the Kingdom of Pepe, even exceeding Tsugikuni Yoriichi's expectations. Even he hadn't imagined the Revolutionary Army would deploy so many officers in such a place, and Yoriichi hadn't expected Ace and Sabo to arrest two of the Revolutionary Army's commanders with a single move.
This not only made the headquarters' work of taking over the Heavenly Army extremely smooth, but also completely exposed the contradiction between the Navy Headquarters and the Revolutionary Army.
If he were a dragon, he would not be able to sit back and relax after the two revolutionary army commanders were captured.
During this period of time, Jiguo Yuanyi has been waiting, waiting for Long to call him and negotiate.
Before this, the reason why Yunyi did not take the initiative to negotiate with Long to discuss compensation for the kingdom was actually because he wanted to show off his military power.
After all, negotiations must be backed by strong military force.
Only after gaining tangible benefits on the battlefield can their naval headquarters continue to gain benefits at the subsequent negotiation table.
If possible, Tsugikuni Yoriichi wanted to take advantage of this momentum to peacefully bring the Revolutionary Army under his control.
But the strange thing is that the two cadres of the Revolutionary Army have been escorted from the North Sea to the Navy Headquarters, but there is still no movement from Long's side.
The person in charge of escorting the criminals was Sakaski. After dealing with the matter of Judicial Island, he had successfully withdrawn. In order to give Long some sense of urgency, Yunyi also sent Sakaski to the Kingdom of Compensation in person. This was equivalent to notifying Long to act faster. If he waited until Sakaski arrived at the Kingdom of Compensation, it would be too late for him to negotiate!
However, Long has not yet spoken to Yuichiro Tsugikoku, and it seems that he has no intention of negotiating with the Navy Headquarters.
This made Yoshiichi Tsugikuni a little confused.
"What on earth is Long thinking about?"
Ji Guoyuan sat behind his desk and gently pressed his temples to relax his tired mind.
Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it. After a short rest, Jigoku Yuichi returned to his paperwork work.
"Dragon! Crow and Mori have been captured by the Marine Headquarters. Let's go rescue them!"
"I heard that the Marine Headquarters sent Akainu to the Compensation Kingdom to escort the criminals."
"As long as we're fast enough, we can rescue our friends before Akainu reaches the Kingdom of Pain!"
In a certain sea area in the first half of the Grand Line, Ivankov hurriedly found Long after learning the news, hoping that Long could lead them to rescue their trapped companions.
However, Long, who was watching the sea view from the deck, smiled and shook his head after noticing Ivankov's anxious face.
"Leave your fate to the wind, my friend."
There seems to be a split within the revolutionary army.
The Navy Headquarters has spies in the Revolutionary Army. According to the information passed to the headquarters by the intelligence personnel, Long's own vehicle "Wind" seems to be preparing to enter the New World.
But at the same time, a part of the revolutionary army led by the army captain Ivankov also broke away from Long's team and headed towards the Peipei Kingdom in the North Sea.
The intelligence personnel's rank in the revolutionary army system was not high enough, and under the internal changes in the revolutionary army, they could only go with the flow and leave with Ivankov's fleet.
At this point, the Navy Headquarters had no further information about "Wind".
"This guy's logic is really hard for me to understand."
"Ivankov."
"Are you just sending a military captain like this to rescue people from Ace and Sabo?"
"You are underestimating our navy's two talented soldiers!"
After hearing the news, Jiguo Yuanyi thought that Long was planning to regain his position on the battlefield first, and did not think about the division of the revolutionary army at all.
