Pirate Bloody Hand Mary

Four days later.

At the foot of the Inverted Mountain in the East China Sea, four navies scattered in different sea areas converged.

"Admiral Marie is missing!?"

Sengoku looked at Ai Xi and shouted in disbelief.

Ash lowered his head guiltily.

"I'm sorry...Marshal of the Warring States Period..."

"The enemy we face is too strong..."

"..."

Seeing Ai Xi's aggrieved look, Isaac frowned subconsciously.

He wasn't frowning because Ashe was criticized, he was thinking about something.

Although Isaac had never seen Mary take action, Mary's strength had long been known throughout the world. The performance of killing Mihawk one-on-one and defeating the Golden Lion in a confrontation was enough to put her among the top powerhouses in the world.

How could such a strong man be defeated and disappeared so easily?

"I'm afraid Admiral Mary was not defeated."

At this time, Esdeath stood up and spoke up for [Ashe].

"The person who attacked us this time was a strong member of the Desert Alliance. I have never seen that person before."

"His ability is very powerful. The specific fruit is unknown, but he showed a variety of natural fruit abilities during the battle."

"The ocean that descended from the sky and disrupted us at the top of Upside Down Mountain was that person's handiwork."

Speaking of this, Esdeath's eyes flashed with murderous intent at the right time.

"According to what that person said, Admiral Mary is one of the chairmen of the Desert Alliance after all. Although as a naval admiral, she cannot stand on the side of the Desert Alliance, she is still in a dilemma compared to being caught between the two."

"He just did some tricks to lure General Mary away... With his strength, if he wants to do something small, he can indeed do it."

"All in all...Mary should be fine now."

After Esdeath's explanation, Sengoku's expression relaxed a little.

He looked at the group of marines who were individually assigned to face Rayleigh and the Nine Snakes Pirates.

Only about 30% of the original number of people returned from this wave of navy, and the warships were all in dilapidated condition.

"We were attacked by Rayleigh and the Kuja Pirates."

Flying Squirrel stepped forward with a gloomy face and reported to Warring States Hui.

"Rayleigh and the Nine Snakes Pirates have been mixed up with the revolutionary army since the Red Sea Operation. We are no match for them."

Of course, that group of navies is not completely devoid of strong men. Most of the elite lieutenant generals are in the group of navies who are responsible for cooperating with Rayleigh and the others.

It is naturally difficult for an elite lieutenant general to fight against strong men of Rayleigh and Hancock's level head-on, so "heavy losses" are normal.

"More than four thousand people were lost..."

Zeng Guo's face twitched, and his face darkened again.

Isaac crossed his shoulders and turned to look at the navy who were with Plague and the others.

"Why are you the only ones back? What about the plague?"

"Well……"

The navy looked at each other.

A marine answered: "We were attacked by a person with the ability to control space, and then a strong man named Famine came to rescue us..."

"After the enemy was driven back, Famine and Mr. Plague departed together."

"famine?"

Isaac was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted.

Although I am not familiar with Famine and have never met him a few times, I still understand this person's abilities.

After all, he is the strongest one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and the number one person secretly responsible for the World Government under Yin Mu and Attila.

And Isaac also roughly knew what Famine's ability was - in his opinion, it was not unusual for Famine to appear near Upside Down Mountain.

But for being able to arrive on the battlefield in such timely manner, I am afraid that the plague has already connected with the famine.

Now he and Famine left without saying a word...

"Has that guy figured out the purpose of his visit?"

Isaac said slightly angrily.

Even if Isaac wants to do something, he has to report to Ashe, the leader of the mission, this guy Plague...

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, Mr. Isaac. As long as Mr. Plague is fine."

Warring States looked at Isaac who seemed to be angry and tried to dissuade him.

But he had another thought in mind.

'famine? plague? ...Is he also one of the so-called Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse? ’

‘Saint Magik actually missed. It seems that the enemy’s level is not bad. If there is such an enemy wandering around, Mary needs to be more careful. ’

'It's a pity that the person who should be captured most was not caught. ’

"Cough cough cough..."

After Sengoku let Isaac calm down, he looked around.

After the navy's fleet was looted in this way, most of the ships suffered varying degrees of damage, and 20% of the warships sank directly. The naval personnel also suffered a lot of losses - whether it was acting or accidental injuries on such big scenes, they all led to a certain degree of attrition.

not to mention……

"Although this time it was divided into four parts and attacked separately, resulting in an unstable position and failure, it can be roughly seen that the combined strength of the Desert Alliance and the Revolutionary Army is not much worse than the navy."

Warring States said in a deep voice: "We have suffered a lot of losses now... Mr. Isaac, from what I see, we can no longer continue to execute the demon-slaying order this time."

"The revolutionary army either has a strategic advantage over us, or it has intelligence support that we don't know about. In short, we are at an absolute disadvantage now."

"If we continue to carry out the demon-slaying order now, we will probably fall into their trap."

"so……"

"I think that the future strategic arrangements need to be considered in the long term. What the navy needs most now is to return to its headquarters to prepare for military reorganization. There is no rush to destroy the revolutionary army and the desert alliance. If we make a rash advance now, the current state of the navy may not be able to withstand it. A big battle.”

"..."

Seeing that Isaac was hesitant, Warring States looked at Ai Xi aside.

"What do you think, Sir Ai Xi?"

"Huh? I..."

Ai Xi only reacted at this time.

Oh, that's right, I seem to be the leader of CP's group.

"Well, I think..."

Ai Xi looked confused. She was not good at making such decisions.

"In this case, would you like to contact the Five Old Stars for advice?"

Ai Xi looked up at Sengoku and Isaac and said: "We can't decide the direction of the entire navy, so... let's ask some adults for their opinions?"

"I can contact Lord Mohandas."

Warring States nodded: "Then just ask directly."

"I think the adults should have already been prepared for long-term operations. The Revolutionary Army and the Desert Alliance are not opponents that can be defeated overnight."

"Can."

Isaac's answer was simple and straightforward.

Seeing that both of them agreed to the plan, Ai Xi immediately showed the phone bug on his wrist and dialed the number to Mohandas Saint.

…

"Sengoku's decision was the right one."

Ban Tuisheng said slowly.

The four old stars are still standing in the meeting hall separately. They can only stay here if they have nothing to do.

They can move around anywhere in Mariejoia, but during this special period, several people have tacitly stayed in the meeting hall to prepare for changes that may occur at any time.

"But this time the Warring States Period made a big mistake. He was treated like this by Long Yin here in the Upside Down Mountain." Saint Mohandas looked a little gloomy, "I originally came to see the Warring States Period to destroy the pirates, and I planned to give him some awards."

"Now it seems that the merit has been paid off."

"That's not necessary. Ai Xi and Isaac just explained Sengoku's strategic arrangements to us. Considering the known intelligence, Sengoku's decision is beyond reproach."

Satan Sheng took the initiative to excuse Warring States: "The only problem with this operation is that Long may also know that we have information about them, so this time we went in the opposite direction and arranged all our forces in what seemed to be the most Troublesome path near Upside Down Mountain.”

"Such a planning arrangement is too risky. If something goes wrong and the navy's direction of action is not predicted, it will be catastrophic."

"It's just... he made the right bet."

For this extremely gambling strategic arrangement, several five old stars all defaulted to placing the name of the planner on the head of their old rival Long.

"However, the disappearance of the new general, Bloody-Hand Mary, remains to be discussed."

Saint Abraham, who was still wearing many bandages, reminded: "Her disappearance this time is very suspicious - after all, she had dual identities, a general of the Navy and the chairman of the Desert Alliance."

"Missing at such a critical period..."

"That's not the point." Saint Mohandas interrupted Saint Abraham's suspicion mercilessly, "No matter why General Mary disappeared - she is not our enemy now."

"If she really planned to side with the Desert Alliance, Plague and Famine would never have left so easily during the attack."

"Everyone should be aware of Mary's character. If she really betrays the first target, she will probably be the plague."

"Even so, it is a fact that Mary left the navy." Saint Abraham and Saint Mohandas said tit for tat, "What if she just missed her old friendship with the navy and did not take action against the plague?"

"With that guy's character, she will never be of the same mind as the World Government. Our orders are inherently contrary to her creed, and she has the motive to rebel!"

"Then what do you want? Wanted 'Naval Hero', 'New Admiral', Bloody-Hand Mary?"

Saint Mohandas said angrily: "We are still not sure why General Mary left the team. But if the other party really did not leave the team intentionally or did not mean to be an enemy of the World Government, you have to give it to me for no reason. The world government creates a new enemy?"

"you!"

Saint Abraham was choked by Mohandas and his face turned red.

Seeing that the two of them were about to start filming on the spot in the meeting hall, Ban stepped back and slapped the armrest of the chair violently.

"enough."

"..."

Saint Mohandas and Saint Abraham immediately shut up, but the momentum between the two was still tense.

Ban Tuisheng had no interest in mediating the conflict between the two. He synthesized what he had just discussed, thought for a moment and then made his decision:

"Let's not mention the matter of General Mary for now. We will not deal with her until we find her whereabouts."

"The proposal of the Warring States Period is approved. This naval attack to defeat the pirates is considered a great achievement. Although the Demon Slaying Order was not successfully implemented, it now seems that with the power of the Desert Alliance and the Revolutionary Army, the Demon Slaying Order could not be implemented in the first place. "

"Let them come back to rest, and be careful not to be intercepted by the enemy again on the way back."

"that's all."

…

"Did the capture of Plague fail? It doesn't matter, this matter is harmless in the first place."

Looking at Saint Magik who was once again stained with glory, Long simply put aside the matter of Saint Magik's failure.

"However, Famine... It is really dangerous for the World Government to have such a strong guy wandering around the world."

"Eight hundred years of experience is really deep."

Rayleigh couldn't help but gasped.

On the fleet he brought back, in addition to the Revolutionary Army soldiers and the Nine Snakes Pirates, there was also a large number of marines.

In fact, no one in the navy who was so-called "killed" by Rayleigh was killed or even injured. They just followed Rayleigh to the temporary base of the Desert Alliance and the Revolutionary Army, an uninhabited desert island in the North Sea.

"How is Lady Mary's current condition?"

Unlike Long and Rayleigh, Weiwei was more concerned about Mary's condition.

"According to the information from the last contact, Mary is now rushing to Rogge Town - but with her speed, there is a high probability that she has arrived at Rogge Town."

Long took a deep breath and recalled the previously discussed plan.

"Mary will hide in Rogue Town for a while, and when the navy returns to Mariejoia and the revolutionary army is in position on the Red Continent, she will go looking for Rafdru."

"According to her own statement, she already has a way to find Rafdru... She usually doesn't boast about it, so we just have to believe her."

"After she makes some noise in Ravdru and attracts Yim away, we will attack Mary Joa."

"Understood."

Weiwei nodded: "Then when will we leave for the Red Earth Continent?"

"Wait for the signal from Sengoku and the others." Long shook his head, "We will move in sync with Sengoku. When they go to Mariejoia, we will also go to the Red Earth Continent together."

"Pluto will stop in the windless zone and wait for our signal to launch an attack before heading towards Mary Joa. Otherwise, such a large target will be too easily discovered."

While several people were exchanging the results of the interception battle and the next course of action, an intelligence officer suddenly rushed in.

"Your Majesty Weiwei! Mr. Long!"

"What's wrong?"

Weiwei looked at the panting intelligence agent and said, "Don't be anxious, speak slowly."

"Huh...huh..."

After the intelligence officer took a breath, he quickly said:

"A man... came here to discuss things with you two."

"Um?"

Weiwei and Long Wei were startled and looked at each other.

"Discussing things with us? How was our location found?"

The same thought flashed through their minds, and Long immediately asked:

"Who is coming to us?"

"That person claims to be..." The intelligence officer hesitated for a moment and then said: "The Four Pirate Emperors, the envoy of Red-haired Shanks."
