The strongest sea god of pirates

150 miles east of Albana, the capital of the Kingdom of Alabasta, the well-known elite army, the Eastern Legion, is marching quickly towards the capital.

After a day of rapid marching, although many soldiers looked tired, as an elite army of the kingdom that has made great achievements in battle, not only is it still high-spirited, the fast-moving team is not scattered, and it maintains a strong combat effectiveness. General Baruch's greatest reliance on the side of the Qing emperor.

General Baruch of the Eastern Legion riding on a battle camel looks more than 50 years old. His angular face with Chinese characters has slightly gray sideburns and beard, which does not make him look old. His unique temperament gave him a high reputation in the army. In addition, he loved soldiers like a son, shared joys and sorrows, and was deeply loved by soldiers. Soldiers of the Eastern Legion once joked that if General Baruch rebelled, they would definitely follow him to attack. Enter the royal city.

General Baruch immediately led the legion to march towards the capital after receiving the communication from His Majesty's most trusted Captain Icarem, the phone bug. The development of the situation was beyond his expectations, because not long ago, he received The emperor's order required him to lead the troops to retreat immediately, but General Baruch quickly realized that there was something wrong with this order, and he had never seen the person who came to deliver the order.

At this very moment, Baruch, who had an extra heart, suddenly threatened him with a knife, and the person who came to deliver the order was also weak, and in order to save his life, he told him everything that happened in the palace.

Knowing that the lives of the king and Princess Weiwei were hanging by a thread, he immediately ordered the whole army to advance at full speed. Although it is a taboo for military strategists to proceed rashly, in order to reach the capital Wangcheng as soon as possible.

There are still several hours away from the royal city. Naturally, Baruch can't let the exhausted troops go through the flames of war again. He ordered the battalions to set up camps and bury pots and cook food on the spot. After a few hours, it is time to launch a general attack on the royal city. No matter what, it must be done as soon as possible. Rescue the king and Princess Weiwei, and we must not let Bernice, a villain, seize the kingship.

General Baruch ate something, got up and patrolled the barracks. This was his old rule. Charge together, this is one of the important reasons why the Eastern Legion led by Baruch possesses terrifying combat effectiveness.

At this moment, suddenly an eagle galloped quickly, and a loud and clear cry quickly attracted the attention of the soldiers.

General Baruch stepped forward, took out a piece of meat from the bag beside him, the eagle landed firmly on his arm, and swallowed the piece of meat in one gulp.

Taking the note from the eagle's ankle, General Baruch quickly read the content on it, and a gratified smile flashed in his eyes. "God bless, Princess Weiwei has escaped, this kid Bell really has a hand!"

Frankly speaking, General Baruch has always been worried, let alone whether he can defeat the army supporting Bernice, even if he leads the Eastern Army all the way to the royal city.

As a general defending the side, he must be loyal to the king, but if Bernice threatens King Cobra and Princess Vivi as hostages, what should he do? , and let the soldiers lay down their weapons and let others slaughter them. This kind of thing, which Baruch loves soldiers like a son, thinks that he can't do it.

But now it is different, as long as Princess Weiwei escapes, he can fight boldly with confidence, and I believe His Majesty the King will understand everything he will do.

"Immediately write a letter to Her Royal Highness Princess Weiwei and tell her where the Eastern Legion is stationed. Your Highness, please go east along the Demont Valley and join the Legion as soon as possible!" Said, "Princess Weiwei must be present in the battle to recover the royal city!"

Soon the eagle soared into the sky again, but this time it used the eagle raised by the Eastern Legion as an important communication tool without the phone bug.

General Baruch and several staff officers carefully studied the map and the route to attack the royal city.

Suddenly, not far away, sand rose into the sky in many places, and soon there were a few screams before dying, followed by the sound of swords colliding.

Baruch, who has always been rich in combat experience, immediately realized that this must be an enemy sneak attack, but he has been good at commanding and leading troops for decades, so he is naturally very aware of the importance of preventing sneak attacks, and even sent a large number of troops to patrol the surrounding area. , It's just that this sudden sneak attack actually started from inside the base camp.

"It's not good, General Baruch, there are enemies everywhere!" A lieutenant officer with a weapon ran over and told General Baruch full of fear. Obviously, this was a sudden and unconventional sneak attack. The fear in his heart has been lost.

"Clarify the matter, isn't it your first day on the battlefield, soulless boy!" Baruch scolded angrily, but at the same time he was also warning the surrounding officers that no matter how powerful the enemy is, they are the soldiers. Backbone, if even these commanders are panicked and helpless, how can they lead the soldiers to fight the enemy!
Just as the lieutenant officer was about to speak, suddenly the sand behind him sprang up strangely like a fountain, forming a tall figure.

The god of death in the desert world, a tall dog-headed warrior holding a double-sided sand blade, the lieutenant just wanted to resist, but the powerful sand blade was faster and extremely sharp, instantly cut off the blade in the lieutenant officer's hand, and took advantage of the situation to block him. It was cut in half, and the blood of the internal organs was splashed all over the ground.

"Protect the general!" Seeing that the general was in danger, a group of soldiers from the Eastern Legion rushed up from the surroundings and surrounded the kobold warriors.

The kobold warriors made of sand let out a deep roar, and the huge sharp sand blades between their arms opened and closed fiercely, and many soldiers were split in half before they could react. To beat the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Eastern Legion, one after another rushed up bravely, but the desert warrior kobolds were invulnerable. Whether it was a blade or a musket, even if a wound was left on the opponent's body, it would heal in an instant.

General Baruch personally raised the knife to go into battle, and suddenly the blade lay across his chest, blocking the slashing sand blade, and even smashed Baruch's ankle into the sand with such a powerful force.

Dodging the sand blade, his body rushed to the back of the kobold, swung the blade vigorously, and chopped off the desert warrior kobold's head.

The fallen head has not yet hit the ground, it has turned into ordinary sand, and the corpse on the roof of the house, unable to kneel down, dissipates with the wind.

Seeing that the desert warrior kobolds were wiped out, the morale of the soldiers of the Eastern Legion was greatly shaken, and they soon realized that the only way to kill the kobolds was to chop off or crush their heads. The enemy has great strength, but as long as they know how to kill them, the Eastern Legion will never lose or be defeated. These two words will never appear in the dictionary of the Eastern Legion.

But soon, from the desert above the ground, hundreds of fountain-like sand grains appeared at the same time, quickly forming kobold warriors.

In the surrounding areas, the number of such terrorist fighters increased exponentially, as if they could never be killed. On the other hand, the soldiers of the Eastern Legion had already suffered heavy casualties.

General Baruch took a deep breath. He knew very well that the Eastern Legion was over. He didn't even bring the army to the royal city, let alone save the king and the Alabasta kingdom.

Baruch, who was almost in despair, suddenly thought of something, and said in a deep voice to the guards beside him, "Quickly, let Xinying go out immediately, and Princess Weiwei must not be allowed to come over!"

Several soldiers rushed over, eagerly persuading: "General Baruch, run away, we will do our best to block the pursuers!"

"This old man is ashamed of tens of thousands of soldiers. Now there is no reason to run away. You guys follow me to charge over." Baruch raised his long sword and said boldly.

"Obey!" A group of soldiers of the Eastern Legion were also full of fighting spirit, and they followed General Baruch one after another, rushing towards the desert warrior kobolds that kept appearing.

After an unknown amount of time, a crooked old man with a cane appeared on the battlefield full of corpses.

Thousands of dog-headed warriors stood upright at the same time, quietly guarding the countless corpses of the Eastern Legion like sculptures.

The crooked old man advanced all the way, as if he was looking for something, and soon stopped in front of a corpse, a cold light flashed in his hand, the corpse was still bleeding and his head was already in his hand.

The owner of this head was General Baruch. Although he led the Eastern Legion to fight to the death, he was finally wiped out by the constantly appearing Desert Kobold Legion.

"What a stubborn guy. The kingdom of Alabasta is already over, so why die in vain, old friend!" The stooped old man raised his head, and there seemed to be helplessness and anger in his words, and they seemed to have known each other before, whether they were friends or enemies, at least friendship Not shallow.

The stooped old man stood in the desert for a long time, when he suddenly raised his scepter and slammed it into the ground, causing a powerful shock wave to spread in all directions.

Thousands of kobold warriors made of sand on the battlefield turned into sand under the impact of the shock wave, and then quietly disappeared in place, as if they had never appeared before, and the rickety old man who destroyed them , also disappeared in place at the same time.

And tens of thousands of soldiers of Alabasta's most elite Eastern Legion, including the famous general Baruch, were all destroyed here. Under such a huge sacrifice, they didn't even get close to the royal city. There were countless corpses and broken weapons and flags on the battlefield. And so on, there are countless vultures circling in the sky, and soon these corpses were devoured.

On the other side, Princess Weiwei, who escaped from the palace by chance, leaned on Falcon Bell's body and turned into a large body of an eagle, which seemed to be full of security and strength.

Facing the strong wind, Princess Weiwei was a little dazed, and suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she was lying on top of Bell's body that turned into an eagle, and often skipped etiquette lessons and sneaked out of the palace to see the beautiful scenery of the entire Alabasta kingdom , but I don't know when it started, and this kind of good memory is being forgotten.

Suddenly, Princess Weiwei noticed that Bell seemed to be trembling more violently, as if he had been enduring the pain. Princess Weiwei looked at the situation, her eyes were full of worry for a while, and she saw that Bell's body was already covered with wounds. A fierce battle.

Bell also seemed to have noticed Her Royal Highness' gaze, and said in a calm tone with relief: "It's okay, Your Royal Highness, I just suffered a small injury, but we can't fly for a long time, we need to land as soon as possible!"

Princess Weiwei nodded immediately, she was very worried about Bell's injury, and she was also full of gratitude in her heart. If it wasn't for Bell, she might have sunk completely, which is more terrible than death.

Although she is also worried about the safety of her father, Princess Weiwei also understands that as long as she is outside, Bernice will not dare to touch his father. Forcibly seizing power will only attract endless opposition. What Bernice wants is this country, so naturally All the citizens will not be killed, so he needs a puppet who can give orders, so the father is safe for the time being.

Bell, who was flying in mid-air, scanned the surroundings with his sharp eyes. After confirming that there was no threat, he began to land and stop on a mountain peak. A cave was not too big, just enough for the two of them to hide in and avoid being chased. Bing immediately found out.

Bell, who had recovered his human form, held the wound with his hand, and blood gushed out from it continuously. The severity of the injury was by no means as simple as a small injury.

"Bell!" Although Princess Weiwei suppressed the pain in her heart, she burst into tears involuntarily when she saw Bell.

"Your Highness, you must be strong, you are the last hope to regain the royal power!"

"Only rely on me." Princess Weiwei was a little unconfident. Back then, she was able to defeat Crocodile, the former king of Shichibukai, thanks to Luffy and his group. Now she and Bell, who was seriously injured, could not even avoid the pursuit of soldiers. Difficult, let alone regaining the kingship, because Wei Wei, from Bernice's words, the four major armies of the Kingdom of Alabasta, only General Baruch's Eastern Army is still loyal to the king, while others have rebelled, and Baruch Whether General Ke can stick to his own vision is still unknown.

Everyone has a bottom line, and Baruch has the same, that is, he admires the king very much. If Bernice trades the king's life for the loyalty of the Eastern Legion, the only Eastern Legion that still supports the king, will it still stand by Princess Vivi? It's really hard to say here.

Bell also knew that the situation was serious, but the Princess Weiwei in front of her had to keep her spirits up. If she also collapsed, then the Alabasta kingdom would really be over.

"We must get out of here as soon as possible, and find a way to get in touch with General Baruch!" Bell knew it would be risky to do so, maybe General Baruch had already joined Bernice's side and was waiting to capture them, but this risk had to be taken, Only when the Eastern Legion supports and protects Princess Weiwei, can they have the capital to fight against Bernice. More importantly, Princess Weiwei must build up her confidence and regain her courage, which is more important than anything else.

"But your injury!?" Princess Weiwei hesitated.

"It's okay, Your Highness Princess Weiwei, please don't forget, you are Luffy's partner!" Bell said deliberately.

When she heard Luffy's name, Princess Weiwei seemed to be filled with strength in an instant, and her sincere smile and spirit of never giving up instantly cleared the haze in her heart.

When the two left the cave at the top of the cliff, suddenly an eagle flew over. Bell habitually touched his waist, ready to feed a piece of meat, but was embarrassed to find that there was no meat, and the eagle fluttered its wings. Landing on Bell's arm, he yelled a few times in dissatisfaction, apparently having a lot of dissatisfaction with the behavior of not being given food for work.

Bell smiled apologetically, took the note from Xinying's ankle, and handed it to Princess Weiwei respectfully.

Princess Weiwei was also polite, she left and took the note and opened it, then said to Bell excitedly: "Great, General Baruch's Eastern Legion is stationed 150 miles east of the capital, we just need to follow along." Going east along the Demon Valley, they will meet in a few hours!"

Bell took the note respectfully with both hands, and finally there was a gleam of joy on his face. There was a bloody imprint representing Baruch's identity on it, which meant that no matter what happened, the Eastern Legion would stand by the princess' side, which was naturally a great blessing. information.

As long as there is the Eastern Legion to rely on, even if it is temporarily impossible to regain the royal power, Bernice will not be able to defeat Princess Weiwei in a short time.

As long as time drags on, as the real owner of the royal power, Princess Weiwei can completely apply for rescue from the world government, and the domestic forces who know the truth will move closer to the orthodox successor to the royal power. Although Bernice temporarily occupies the royal city, But the day of doom will come one day.

Just when Princess Weiwei and Bell were full of hope, suddenly a letter eagle appeared in the clear sky far away.

And this one was the letter eagle that Bell released in advance to look for General Baruch. It stands to reason that it should still be at the station of the Eastern Army, but it flew over.

All this is really weird and unreasonable, but Bell still catches the letter eagle with his arm, and the note has not yet been opened, but blood overflows from the note.

Bell frowned, but still took off the note and handed it to Princess Vivi.

Princess Weiwei opened the bloody note casually, her face paled for a moment, and she handed the note to Bell trembling.

Bell took it and took a closer look. It was dark and almost passed out on the spot. This is a message written in blood. The handwriting is very scribbled and obviously in a hurry. Although the number of words is not many, Bell feels like a thunderbolt. The note reads, The army was defeated, the general died in battle, don't come, but ten words made Bell and Princess Weiwei feel ashamed.

The last force supporting her has disappeared. I am afraid that the whole country is looking for Princess Vivi, but not to support her, but to arrest her and ask Bernice for credit.

"Not good!" Bell suddenly realized something, and suddenly pushed Princess Weiwei away, only to hear a piercing gunshot in the distance, Bell let out a muffled snort, and the sharp bullet pierced his shoulder blades instantly, and blood spattered all of a sudden. Without hesitation, Bell immediately activated the power of the devil fruit, instantly turned into an eagle, and flew towards the distance with Princess Weiwei.

Gunshots rang out endlessly, and the enemies who apparently followed the Falcon kept firing at Bell who was about to evacuate.

These carefully selected shooters were accurate with their marksmanship. Although Bell evaded with all his strength, he was hit one after another in order to protect Princess Vivi, and blood continued to drip down the wound.

But this time the enemy came prepared, and many soldiers riding flying beasts surrounded them from the surrounding area.

Bell roared and accelerated with all his strength. Although he was lucky enough to get out of the encirclement, these soldiers kept chasing him. With Bell seriously injured, it was only a matter of time before he was caught up.
