Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 79: Death inexplicably
A few minutes ago, the Hell Island Crab suddenly began to wail continuously, the sound was so loud that it made people's eardrums bleed and made them dizzy.

At first, the flying squirrel thought it was the steel column inserted into the Hell Island Crab's brain that was causing it to wail. However, as the current ran out, the steel column calmed down, but the Hell Island Crab was still wailing, and the flying squirrel realized something was wrong.

"What happened? What made this giant beast scream like that?"

This question lingered in everyone's mind, and everyone was nervous.

"Could it be that lightning pillar?"

The flying squirrel couldn't help but think so. Excluding their actions, the only thing with the same effect as what happened to the Hell Island Crab was the lightning pillar that fell from the sky.

But the Hell Island Crab can discharge electricity through bioelectricity and is extremely resistant to lightning. Even if the power of the lightning column exceeds its tolerance limit and causes damage to it, how big is the area of ​​the lightning column? It shouldn't cause it to wail so miserably and desperately, right?

If the flying squirrel had not witnessed with his own eyes what the Hell Island crab did after going crazy, he would have felt sympathy for the sound.

Then, the lightning column disappeared.

However, the wailing of the Hell Island Crab did not stop. Instead, it became louder in an instant, turning from a wailing into a complete scream!
"What the hell is going on today?!!"

The angry flying squirrel smashed the railing with one punch. He was worried about the new recruits on the island whose lives were unknown, and even someone as calm as he was could not help but swear.

But what happened next stunned the Flying Squirrel. The adjutant hurried over with documents in his hand and said to the Flying Squirrel tremblingly: "Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel, the life signs of the Hell Island Crab are disappearing!!"

"I know, but...why?!!"

People who possess the power of Observation Haki are unreasonable. When scientific instruments finally collected information from the chaotic magnetic field and determined that the signs of life of the Hell Island crab were disappearing, the flying squirrel discovered this one step ahead.

In fact, ordinary soldiers can sometimes burst out with greater courage than generals, because they cannot sense the terrifying life breath of the giant beast in front of them! Now that breath is falling like a cliff, such a huge change, the flying squirrel noticed it immediately.

But the question arises, why?
Who Killed the Hell Island Crab?!

Doesn't he know that once this thing dies, its new body will expand the old body "Hell Island" by one third? !

Their safety device was built based on the current area of ​​Hell Island. Once the opponent is resurrected, the existing steel pillars will not be able to trap the giant beast in front of them!
"No! We have to rush back to headquarters immediately to discuss countermeasures!"

The flying squirrel's eyes fixed, and he gave the order: "Pass my order, send the retreat signal! Everyone board the lifeboat and go to the island to pick up the new recruits!"

"Yes!!"

Looking at the Hell Island Crab in front of him that was beginning to convulse due to being on the verge of death, the flying squirrel thought silently: No matter how much sacrifice it would take in the future to re-seal the Hell Island Crab, at least these little guys are safe.

call out! !

A column of yellow smoke shot high into the sky, and on the island, the recruits were instantly ecstatic.

"Great! That's the signal to retreat!"

“Finally there is salvation!!”

"Long live Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel! Long live the Navy!"

At the top of the mountain, Dongte and others were equally excited.

When the giant beasts beneath their feet began to wail, the beast tide was calmed by a strong breath of despair, which they could see most clearly from a high place. The only remaining turmoil was just a small-scale chaos caused by the powerful beast kings calming down and returning to their nests as the last convulsions of light began.

If the beast tide was caused by a thunderstorm, then everything that happened afterwards had nothing to do with the thunderstorm.

The creatures on the island noticed that the giant beast under their feet was beginning to wake up, and the innate pressure from above and below drove them crazy. Now, with the giant beast's dying howl, the pressure disappeared, and the crazy animals woke up.

Why are you running? Go back and eat!
The beast tide was not only extremely dangerous to the new recruits, but also to the beasts in the beast tide. In the rush of thousands of beasts, countless weak ones were trampled to death, crushed and eaten, and even the beast king did not dare to say that he could save himself. Now the giant beasts are slowly dying, and the only spasms and vibrations are no more than a volcanic eruption for these guys living on Hell Island, and there is no need to worry at all. After calming down, they slowly dispersed and walked towards their own territories.

It goes without saying how much bloodshed will occur in the process.

Dongte was a wise man. He saw this clearly and shouted, "Don't get excited! Although the beast tide has dispersed, there are still many powerful creatures below! Don't be reckless, let's slip out little by little!"

"Yes! Commander Donte!"

After surviving the death crisis, the recruits finally smiled again after not seeing each other for many days. Dongte shook his head and ignored it, but turned his head to look behind him. Now that the turmoil has subsided, Ron should show up by now, right?
Dong Te is not a BL, he just wants to know how far he has been left behind during his time on Hell Island...

……

A few hours later, in the cave in the southeast of Hell Island, the temporary base of the navy.

"That's right! The Hell Island Crab is confirmed dead!" The flying squirrel reported to Den Den Mushi calmly, then he paused for a moment and said, "When it resurrects again, please let me stand at the front!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sengoku, on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, yelled angrily, "Enough! It's not your fault this time, Flying Squirrel! Do you want to embarrass a marshal like me?!"

The flying squirrel responded with silence, and Warring States also responded with silence.

In fact, both of them knew that if they wanted to reseal the Hell Island Crab, the cost of manpower, material resources and financial resources would be no less than going to war with the Four Emperors of the New World! There would be countless casualties, and the navy would suffer heavy losses! And someone had to take the blame for this huge loss!
Either the flying squirrel who failed to fulfill his duties, or Sengoku who was the marshal...

After a moment of silence, Zhan Guo spoke first: "Bring back all the new recruits, and leave the rest to me."

"marshal……"

"Shut up!"

Zhan Guo's majestic roar suppressed the anxious call of the flying squirrel: "I am the marshal, obey orders!"

The air froze for a long time. The flying squirrel looked determined and raised his right hand to salute: "Yes!!"

At the Navy Headquarters, Sengoku listened to the answer from the Den Den Mushi, with a bitter smile on his face. Having been the Navy Admiral for more than a decade, he had long seen the truth behind the so-called "Marshal of the Navy":

This is a scapegoat!

He was the one who took the blame for the pirates, the robbery of Tenjo Gold, and the establishment of the Revolutionary Army. Even when Garp spoke out in front of the Five Elders, the Five Elders blamed him for not bringing in the discipline of the navy!

The longer he has been the admiral of the navy, the longer he has been blamed!
It was obvious that the previous marshal "Cyborg" Sora could have been promoted to commander-in-chief of the entire army by virtue of his amazing feat of executing "Pirate King" Roger, but when it was his turn, he was left with no choice but to take the blame.

Zhan Guo has seen through everything. He does not ask for how high an official position he can hold in the future. Being able to contribute his last bit of blood for the stability of this sea is enough to comfort him in this life.

Isn't it just taking the blame? I'm used to it!
Sighing, Zhan Guo changed the serious topic and asked, "Where are the new recruits? What are the casualties?"

"Seven dead, three seriously injured, and minor injuries not included..."

Speaking of this, the flying squirrel also had a bitter smile on his face. He thought that this batch of recruits would be able to break the previous record, but he did not expect that a sudden beast tide would cause heavy losses to the recruits.

"Seven great talents!!"

Zhan Guo felt a little heartbroken. These new recruits were not ordinary people randomly recruited by the branch, but real geniuses who had been carefully trained and selected!

Although the purpose was to let them see themselves clearly in the crisis and thus strengthen their faith, the loss this time was too heavy! It was so serious that Zhan Guo was a little breathless. Zhan Guo could foresee that Zefa would ask him with a dark face, why did such a large number of casualties occur in a survival training?
For these little guys, even if he didn't formally accept them as his disciples like Ron, Zefa treated them as his own family. In this cruel survival experience of the headquarters, Zefa was the one who was most worried every time he went out to sea.

But... Ron?
Zhan Guo couldn't help but pay more attention to Zefa's last disciple after many years, and asked, "Where's Ron? How is he?"

"Ron..."

The flying squirrel was in a mixed mood at the moment. This beast tide and the price to be paid for the future war with the Hell Island Crab were all caused by Ron. And he couldn't say that he had nothing to do with it. Do you think he was angry or smiling bitterly?
After thinking for a while, the flying squirrel reported truthfully: "He hasn't come back yet... He has gone deep into the central basin. Even for him, it will take some time to come back..."

At this point, the flying squirrel suddenly became speechless.

Zhan Guo was confused and asked, "Huh? What happened? ... Flying squirrel? Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel!"

Just when Zhan Guo thought something had happened and was in a tense mood, the trembling voice of the flying squirrel sounded in the Den Den Mushi: "Marshal... Marshal! I remember Vegapunk said that the Hell Island Crab has a core, right?"

"Yes! According to Vegapunk's instruments, all the tissues of the Hell Island Crab grow from the core, and everything outside is a shell to protect the core... Why are you asking this suddenly?"

Zhan Guo answered truthfully and suddenly held his breath.

Is it possible... could it be? ! !
