The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

"Sakaski, how many times has this happened?" Aokiji's deep voice came, "In just one day, we were ambushed four times. According to the plan, we should have arrived in O'Hara tomorrow. But judging by the current situation, I'm afraid we will have to postpone it."

Akainu also understood Aokiji's depressed mood. The navy encountered stubborn resistance within a day. Even the most optimistic navy knew that an unprecedented tough battle was waiting for them.

This hard battle was not simply because the enemy was strong. After all, the navy had encountered countless powerful pirates who had never made the navy feel at a loss. The problem now was that the navy, as the overlord of the sea, might have to face an unprecedented enemy.

Their strength may not be particularly strong, but their will is even better than that of the navy. Unlike the battles the navy had experienced before, in the war with pirates, the navy dared to say that they were brave and fearless.

No matter how powerful the enemy is, the navy dares to draw its sword and fight the pirates on the sea. And for the navy soldiers who participated in this Demon Slayer Operation, fighting with pirates on the sea is commonplace.

However, the battle they experienced this time was different. Compared to the bloody fight with pirates, the navy usually only needed to focus on combat skills to easily defeat the pirates in front of them.

But now their battle with the Red Flag Fleet was more like a complete test of willpower, which was something the navy had never experienced in their battles with pirates.

At that time, they only needed to consider the fighting skills to overwhelm the enemy, because the pirates' fighting will was completely incomparable to that of the navy. In the battle of will, the navy usually declared victory before the battle.

But this time it was different. The enemy did not intend to fight them all at once, but instead launched rounds of tug-of-war attacks. This war situation was no longer a simple test of physical strength. It was a test of willpower on both sides. Only the side with the strongest willpower could hold out to the end.

This is why Akainu and Aokiji are so worried. From the current point of view, the navy has lost this battle of wills. As early as when the Red Flag Fleet launched the third raid, the navy on the Demon Slayer Fleet had become very slow. It was not physical fatigue, but mental torment.

When the Red Flag Fleet launched its last attack, more than half of the soldiers began to give up on their own initiative. It was not difficult to understand their thoughts. After all, with these insignificant attacks, at most a few unlucky guys would be injured or killed. Anyway, the enemy's firepower could not pose a threat to the warships, so it was better to give up.

Therefore, during the fourth round of the Red Flag Army's attack, the incoming shells were even completely dealt with by the two commanders, Akainu and Aokiji. Of course, Akainu and Aokiji did not take the initiative to attack the Red Flag Army. For some reason, the two lieutenant generals only actively defended against the attack and did not fight back.

Of course, the marines didn't care about these things. The vice admiral just defended against the enemy's attack. Anyway, their goal was not to fight these enemies who came out of nowhere. The marines didn't forget that their target was O'Hara, not to fight with these inexplicable guys in front of them.

Akainu looked gloomy as he looked at these marines who had no intention of fighting. These lower-level soldiers were sitting or lying on the deck, numb to the enemy's attack. "Everyone, listen up, act now! Clear the deck." Akainu ordered unceremoniously.

Facing the orders from their superiors, the mentally exhausted marines could only reluctantly get up. Alas, it can only be said that the navy is also a strictly hierarchical society, and the marines at the bottom are just cattle and horses, and they can only carry out the orders from above.

Aokiji shook his head and looked at his unmotivated subordinates, saying that he could do nothing to help. "Sakaski, do we need to request reinforcements from the headquarters? It seems that it may not be that easy for us to carry out this mission alone." Aokiji followed Akainu and asked.

Akainu turned his head and looked at Aokiji. "Kuzan, you are really like this. When you encounter a problem, you just want to escape. Don't forget, we are soldiers. When encountering difficulties, we should face them head-on. In this regard, you are not even as good as Borsalino."

"Then what do you say we should do?" Aokiji reached out and touched the back of his head. "Our warships don't have much supplies on board. If we continue to consume them like this, it will be a serious blow to morale."

Akainu also understood the predicament they were facing. "I see. Let's find a few temporary stops. Let's speed up. We don't need to rest completely, but at least we can replenish some supplies and boost morale."

"Yoshi, I think it's okay. Although the Demon Slayer Fleet shouldn't deviate from its course during the operation, we have to make decisions in an emergency. What we lack most now is medical supplies. I hope we can get them." Aokiji agreed. There are hundreds of injured in the navy this time, and medical supplies are the most scarce.

Just like that, under the decision of the two commanders, the navy's large fleet deviated slightly from its course. Their target was several small islands marked on the navy maps, which had some villages and towns on them, and the navy might be able to replenish some supplies there.

The situation faced by the other two navies was similar to that of the Demon Slayer Fleet. However, there was one difference: the vice admirals in charge of the two fleets took the initiative to fight back when facing the attack of the Red Flag Fleet.

I have to say that he is worthy of being the lieutenant general of the headquarters. He relied on his hard power to destroy several warships under the fire of the Red Flag Fleet.

However, that was all. The Red Flag Army had too many warships, and they were of all kinds. Even when the lieutenant general took the initiative to fight back on the sea, he couldn't tell which targets were worth destroying.

After witnessing the powerful strength of individual vice admirals, the Red Flag Fleet also took the initiative to retreat, only executing the prepared harassment tactics at a long distance.

This was enough to give the navy a headache. After a day of attack, not only did they waste a lot of time, but dozens of people were injured. This was similar to the situation encountered by the fleet led by Akainu Aokiji. In the end, they could only implement the same tactics and go to the nearest town for supplies.

Unfortunately, when the navy approached the island with great excitement, what came into view was not the bustling market as expected, but a deserted village. They came with great hope, but left with great disappointment.

The naval commanders could only set their sights on other islands. The morale of the soldiers could not be affected. The warships deviated from their course again.

However, when the navy landed on another island, the scene they saw was still the same as before. What else did the commander, the vice admiral, not understand? It seemed that they had always been in the enemy's plan and had never escaped.

Akainu and Aokiji were at the stern, looking at the empty town with some worry. They came to a more thrilling conclusion. Could it be that all the towns along the way have been controlled by the Red Flag Army? The future of the navy fleet became unpredictable.
