The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

The trenches were filled with corpses and the land was stained red with blood. After the fierce battle, the cruelty of the war further increased. The attacking and defending sides on the battlefield were finally about to reach a critical point.

Most of the attacking navy were dragged into this meat grinder because of their blood rushing to their heads. It was because of the help of the vice admiral that the ordinary soldiers at the bottom saw the hope of victory, and they were willing to bear such high casualties in the battle.

Once they lose hope of victory, the lower-level navy soldiers may collapse at any time. The reason why the navy can continue to fight the Red Flag Army is not because of their strong beliefs, but because Akainu gave them confidence. This is a false confidence that follows the masses. Once the lie is exposed, it will be a complete collapse.

In contrast to the navy, the Red Flag Army became more courageous as the battle progressed. Although the Red Army’s front line was pushed back after the navy deployed all its reserve forces to attack, they never gave up resistance. As time passed, the Red Flag Army, which was better at fighting, braver in fighting, and more daring in fighting, would eventually complete its evolution.

In fact, the Red Flag Army did begin to evolve. You know, the Red Flag Army's internal training system is also connected to the Navy. In this respect, there is not much difference between ordinary Red Flag Army soldiers and the Navy.

Perhaps the Red Flag Army is slightly inferior to the Navy Headquarters in terms of training some strong men. But strong men are a minority after all, and more middle and lower-level troops are the main part of the army.

For the Red Flag Army, the only thing they lacked was the pressure of the finishing touch. It was the lack of this pressure that prevented the Red Flag Army soldiers from making further progress.

Before this war, the Red Flag Army had fought many battles in the four seas, but those battles were not enough to sharpen the Red Flag Army. The pirates in the four seas were far from being able to bring the Red Flag Army the pressure it deserved.

Therefore, the war in O'Hara can be regarded as a test for the soldiers of the Red Flag Army. If they can successfully survive this war, the strength of all the Red Flag Army soldiers involved will be greatly improved. The best tempering is often between life and death.

As the enemy navy, they could feel the enemy's progress more clearly. This could also be seen from the speed of the navy's advance. Although the navy's offensive was getting deeper and deeper, the speed of its advance was also slowing down.

The most likely reason was that the Red Flag Army had been steadily improving its strength in the battle. It was the Red Flag Army that became more and more tenacious as the war progressed, and the Navy could only be helplessly blocked at the last line of defense. Only a few trenches were needed to completely break through the Red Flag Army's position, but the Navy was unable to break through this last distance.

At this time, the ordinary soldiers of the navy were completely struggling. If all the naval officers had not participated in the battle and supervised the battle, I am afraid that the navy troops would have been defeated.

But even though the navy had done so, the Red Flag Army still stood firm in front of the position. At this point, both sides understood that it all depended on who could hold on. The winner would be the king, and the loser would lose the entire war.

"Gun pointing, gun pointing, storm kick." A naval officer frantically performed a move that was no longer recognizable as the Navy's Six Styles. It was obvious that he was exhausted at this moment.

The enemy facing him was a squad leader of the Red Flag Army. Although he had not yet joined the party, his strength should not be underestimated after being tempered by battle. After taking several moves of the abstract version of Dingliu Shi, he persisted and did not fall down.

"Why don't you fall down? Are you going to continue to resist?" He could feel that the navy officer was already a little timid. The enemy on the opposite side was not much different from him in terms of physical fitness. It was just because he didn't have much combat experience that he was in a suppressed position in the fight.

But even so, a low-ranking officer of the Red Flag Army could make such an elite navy officer of the headquarters embarrassed. From the appearance, both of them were covered in blood, but the navy relied on combat experience and still had a certain advantage in the battle.

As the battle progressed, that advantage began to weaken. The navy's wounds increased over time, and although most of them were superficial, they were enough to serve as a warning.

After taking several physical attacks, the Red Flag Army squad leader fought back despite his wounds. It is worth noting that the weapons of the two men had already been damaged in the battle, and now they were fighting with their bodies.

The squad leader of the Red Flag Army gritted his teeth and used a standard bow-step punch. In fact, this military boxing was also learned from Ma En. It must be said that these moves are indeed simple and practical, and combined with a well-trained body, they can often exert a good lethality.

"It's the same trick again. Hey, these tricks may be useful to ordinary marines, but they have no effect on me. Iron block!" The naval officer quickly got into a horse stance. It was with the help of this iron block trick that he was able to persist in the battle.

"You absolutely cannot break through the iron block's defense." The Marine was about to speak out when a huge force hit his chest with a fist. "How is that possible? Wow!?" The Marine vomited a large mouthful of blood after being hit by the blow.

When the squad leader retracted his fist, a dark force had completely covered his arm. "Armament Haki?! How did you master it so quickly?" The naval officer could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.

The squad leader who withdrew his hand also had those feelings, "In the battle, the power of the flesh seemed to be out of the body. In the last moment of the beating, it was displayed according to what I wanted in my heart. It turned out that this is the armed color domineering."

It must be said that being able to break through and use Armament Haki in the middle of a battle is considered a genius even in the New World. And in this battlefield, there are more than two dozen such "geniuses".

In the final analysis, mastering the most basic Armament Haki only requires rigorous training and a little pressure, and the breakthrough will come naturally. As the navy officers are also struggling in the battle, the navy's last advantage is about to disappear.

At this time, even the most optimistic navy dared not dream of victory. Indeed, if the ordinary marines still had fighting spirit, they might be able to break through this line of defense with their numerical advantage, but it was obvious that all the morale of the navy had disappeared.

The navy no longer had the ability to launch another round of attacks. If they continued to fight, their eventual defeat was inevitable. As an excellent commander, he should have known when to retreat.

For the navy, this is the current situation. They should retreat while they still have an advantage in numbers. There may still be hope of regrouping and coming back.

After the elite Red Flag Army awakened their Armament Haki, the Navy's commander knew that the situation was hopeless. The Navy's most experienced general no longer hesitated (he had been supervising the battle from the rear) and immediately issued a signal to retreat.

I have to say that the timing was indeed good. The navy still had the advantage in numbers, and the navy officers could take advantage of it to quickly gather the troops. If the Red Flag Army was allowed to continue to evolve, even the navy's elite would not be able to escape unscathed.

"Retreat, retreat." The voice of the navy began to spread throughout the battle line, and the marines could not wait to leave the battlefield. Fortunately, all this happened under the cover of the naval officers, otherwise it would have led to a disaster.

The Red Flag Army did not continue to pursue, they were already very tired. Being able to rely solely on themselves to repel the enemy was already an extraordinary performance. However, they did not intend to let the navy retreat smoothly.

"Don't forget, we also have secret weapons. They should be used at the most critical moment. Now is a good time to use them." said a political commissar of the Red Flag Army.

"Send a signal to the artillery in the rear. Extend the artillery to our positions, extend the artillery to our positions, open fire at full power, and use up all the shells. Humph, even if he is a Celestial Dragon, he will have to pay a heavy price if he comes." The political commissar said firmly.

"Boom boom boom—boom." It is better to use the remaining courage to pursue the enemy rather than seek fame by imitating the tyrant.
