Pirate Bloody Hand Mary

"What did you say!?"

Bingshan asked in shock: "That girl named Lilia...is attracting firepower?"

"Yes, those monsters will only chase and attack the people closest to them..."

Gal Tino took a breath and continued: "If the airship flies high enough and there are people on the ground attracting it, the flame giant should not attack the airship."

"Are you sure?"

Bingshan asked calmly.

"I can't confirm...but at least I can believe it, right?"

Gal Tino asked loudly: "Do you have any other ideas now?!"

"..."

There was a trace of cold sweat on Bingshan's forehead. At this time, he heard the rustling sound coming from behind him.

"Lilia...is she the female owner of the recently launched chain store?"

"seems like it."

"By the way...I, I saw her at the dock."

"I heard that she carries the ingredients by herself every morning, right?"

Do so many people know Lilia?

Bingshan was stunned for a moment. He had been dealing with government affairs and commercial affairs all year round, and he didn't know much about some of the things that had recently emerged in the market.

At this time, Gal Tino added:

"Shopkeeper Lilia is just an ordinary girl. She was able to deal with the Fire Giant only because she ate a Shorthair Devil Fruit."

"But she will definitely not last long as she has never experienced training!"

"Mayor Bingshan... now she is risking her own life to delay time. Make a decision quickly!"

Bingshan came to his senses immediately after hearing this, turned around and said loudly:

"Everyone!"

"Now we know that in most cases, the Fire Giant is likely to target the nearest person to attack!"

"Now a girl named Lilia is stalling for us. We need to send a team immediately to take over her mission."

"If delaying tactics are feasible, I will develop shift tactics to pull these monsters away and buy enough time for retreat!"

Bingshan is worthy of being the mayor who has governed the City of Seven Waters for more than ten years, and his talents in all aspects have not been lost.

After determining that the Fire Giant's search for enemies was likely to depend on distance, he immediately thought of shift tactics.

By alternating near and far in different locations, and using the Fire Giant's enemy-seeking mechanism, as long as the movement time and location of the troops are reasonably arranged, Iceberg is confident that it can control the Fire Giant around the coast and not get close to the center of the city.

This does not require a lot of troops. According to Lilia's current towing method, only one person is needed for each shift transfer.

"Is there anyone willing to take Miss Lilia's place and attract the monster's attention!?"

Bingshan said loudly.

There was silence in the crowd, and then there was an explosion.

Everyone began to discuss intensively. Many of them were ordinary citizens and tourists. At this time, they simply did not have the courage or ability to take Lilia's current position.

However, they who wandered around the market and knew Lilia's identity could discuss and praise Lilia's courage.

Bingshan looked around nervously.

He hoped that someone would take the initiative to stand up... The City of Seven Waters, like most of the islands in this sea, relied on various non-governmental organizations to maintain public order. Including several major shipyards, it is not actually an official jurisdiction.

At this time, there is no established combat force like the navy, so if you want to recruit people, you can only recruit them temporarily.

If no one is willing to come forward, Bingshan will take action with the boatmen. But in that case, the manufacturing of airships will inevitably be delayed.

Although the first priority now shifts to controlling these flame giants, as a possibility of external contact, the manufacturing of airships still cannot be stopped.

After a moment, the crowd suddenly raised a hand high.

A strong man with a strong build squeezed out of the crowd and stood in front of the iceberg with a serious face.

"Mayor Bingshan, I am willing to go."

"Who are you?"

Bingshan looked at the strong man in front of him.

"Leonard Dunn, a naval soldier who came to the Capital of the Seven Waters on leave."

Dunn looked directly at the iceberg and said: "It is the navy's responsibility to protect ordinary people. I didn't know how to deal with natural disasters before, so I could only cover a group of people who came here to take refuge. Now it's time for me to step forward."

"I'm an ensign. Avoiding those fireballs won't be a problem."

At the same time, some voices came from the crowd:

"Yes, Mr. Leonard Dunn protected us all the way to the shelter."

"He suffered a lot of injuries along the way...are you okay?"

"It's nothing serious, I'm used to it."

Dunn said firmly.

Bingshan nodded and patted Dunn on the shoulder.

"Thank you for coming forward."

"The duty lies."

Bingshan then looked back and shouted: "Is there anyone else willing to-"

"I!"

"I!"

With one person taking the lead, many capable but still hesitant people stepped forward.

There are navy, bounty hunters, pirates, and adventurers...

"Everyone..."

Bingshan took a deep breath.

Then, his expression darkened, he looked around at the crowd that gradually gathered in front of him, and asked:

"Do you have anyone who is proficient in information science?"

Bingshan had a good idea. Delaying these flame giants and pulling them together was a theoretically feasible solution.

But the most difficult part of this tactic is the real-time arrangement of personnel deployment. Due to the interference of gray fog, although the visual interference received in the Capital of Seven Waters is not too great, the signal transmission of the telephone bug has been completely abolished.

This means that in order to arrange personnel in real time, they need to temporarily customize a new contact plan, which must rely on visual or auditory communication to spread information.

Although Bingshan can be considered an all-rounder, his military talents are obviously not enough to make him so crazy.

Now, he needs to discuss a way to centrally convey instructions.

When Bingshan told everyone his thoughts, a group of people looked at each other.

At this time, the people who are willing to support have been clearly divided into three parts: pirates, navy, and others. Among them, the pirates and others basically knew nothing about this kind of thing, so everyone's eyes were on the navy.

After a long while, everyone on the navy side had a discussion and then said to Bingshan:

"We can improvise a plan, but it will take some time."

"During this period, our key personnel must communicate plans here, otherwise the order may not be clear later."

Hearing this, Bingshan nodded immediately and shouted to the dock: "Barry, did you hear that!? After they finish discussing this plan, you immediately fire a shot to notify!"

"oh!"

Barry's response came from the dock.

Bingshan immediately said: "Then, let's first send a group of people to help Miss Lilia out of the predicament at this stage..."

"I go."

At this time, Gal Tino, who had been silent, spoke up.

Everyone looked back and saw that Gal Tino, who had been breathing heavily and looking almost vulgar, now had a solemn look on his face.

Before several others could raise questions, Gal Tino immediately added:

"I came here just to tell you things. Now my purpose has been achieved."

"I went here this time just to bring back Shopkeeper Lilia."

"I wanted to go to sea before. If she hadn't delayed me by chance, I might have been buried in the sea now. I don't like to owe people favors."

"If you haven't discussed a plan before I come back, you will bear the consequences yourself."

"That ignorant fool has held you back long enough."

Bingshan had no objection to this, while Dunn looked at Gal Tino and said in agreement:

"Don't worry, Mr. Gal Tino, we will definitely come up with a plan within ten minutes."

"Then it's up to you."

At this time, Bingshan frowned and asked:

"But, Mr. Gal Tino, you are an artist after all. Going to such a dangerous place..."

“Isn’t Lilia’s manager the cook?”

Gal Tino immediately retorted, and then showed a confident and cold smile.

"Mr. Bingshan, you don't need to worry about me."

"I haven't done anything for a long time. My legs and feet feel a little numb."

"Although I don't like to fight and kill, but if I really want to fight, I will never do it."

"after all……"

Mr.3 stepped on the railing, and then the candle turned into a torrent and rushed to the ground.

He burst out with a speed that surprised everyone present, and flew down using the power of the candle to hold him up.

"I'm Mr.3!"

…

"You're going to the Shampoo Islands? What are you doing?"

While Sengoku looked at Mary in confusion, he put together what he knew so far.

Although Mary didn't originally plan to come to Sengoku, before setting off, she discovered that...she no longer had a permanent pointer to the Chambord Islands on her body.

The only things she will carry with her are the permanent pointers pointing to where she plans to go, as well as pointing to places like Marinevando, Alabasta, Impel Down, Yonko Base, etc. that are very important to her. Or a permanent pointer to a stronghold important in her plans.

At other times, the permanent pointer is generally saved by Kullman.

She had asked Crane for the permanent pointer to Wano Country in advance. Now that there was no permanent pointer to the Seven Rivers, she could only temporarily find some from Warring States Period.

"Kulman has a legacy living in the Chambord Islands. I am going to deliver the relic to Kuhlman this time."

Mary didn't hide anything and said it openly.

The main thing is that there is no need to hide this matter.

"Kulman's legacy..."

Warring States was stunned for a moment before realizing what it meant.

He couldn't help but shook his head. He didn't care at all about Kuhlman's legacy, but immediately asked a naval soldier next to him to go to the warehouse to find the permanent pointer to the Chambord Islands.

"Although the Navy will definitely pay a pension to Coleman's surviving family in the future...but since you are his comrade, you can go and express condolences in your own name, and I allow it."

Warring States said in a deep voice, and then looked at Mary with resentment:

"Speaking of which, do you take me, the marshal of the navy, seriously? Every time I go somewhere, I leave without saying a word."

"It would be great if you come to me for advice like now. I won't stop you."

"Oh? At that time, when the battle with Whitebeard had just ended, if I had proposed to you that I should go to Wano Country, would you have agreed to my going?"

Mary asked with a shrug.

Warring States was silent for a moment and shook his head.

"Absolutely not."

"Isn't that right?"

"No, Mary. I just think it's too radical."

Warring States frowned and said: "You are obviously a marine, but we know very little about you. You never mention many things to us. For example, Esdeath, and defeating Kai with you. Lots of Enkidu.”

"You never mentioned these people to us."

"Under such circumstances, how could I let you go to Wano Country alone? You also need the help of Akainu and others to defeat Whitebeard. How could I let you go to Wano Country with confidence?"

"So, Marshal Warring States, I can make decisions on many things myself."

Mary said seriously: "My decision is basically correct, isn't it?"

"That's not the problem!"

Warring States slapped the table and said angrily: "Haven't you heard what I mean? You are a member of the navy! Mary, you don't need to think and act alone. There is a person standing behind you. Such a big team.”

"Of course you can choose to keep your secret, but you can't tell us nothing. The Navy is not your burden, but your backing."

"Always acting independently like this, so what exactly is the Navy to you?"

Sengoku asked, looking at Mary seriously.

"..."

Mary looked at Warring States with deep eyes. After a long time, she crossed her arms and said seriously:

"Marshal Sengoku, in my opinion, the Navy is the team that consolidates my achievements."

"Um?"

"Marshal Warring States, what I mean is——"

"I am the sharpest knife, and I will open up new territories for justice."

"Your governing style is conservative, but I am radical enough. I will try justice that you dare not risk, and what you need is to prevent the justice I have pioneered from being used by others."

"That's my relationship with the Navy as a community."

After Mary finished speaking, Sengoku took a deep breath, lowered his brows, and looked at the document in his hand.

Mary's name keeps appearing on it, from the Chambord Islands, to the Capital of the Seven Waters, to Alabasta, to the War on the Summit, to the Country of Wano...

"Actually, if you really have an idea, the Navy can also be radical."

Warring States suddenly said.

Mary smiled and said naturally: "Of course, I know this too."

"But Mr. Marshal, it's too early to say such a thing now. It won't be too late to wait until all the pirates on the sea have been liquidated."

"what do you mean?"

Warring States was suddenly startled and suddenly looked up at Mary.

Mary had an unpredictable smile on her face and did not answer Sengoku's question directly.

She just continued:

"Now, please believe in me, my classmates and friends."

"Mr. Marshal, the new generation has grown up, and we no longer need you to arrange everything."
