Pirate: I am a logistics person, what the hell is the emperor

Chapter 401: The Battle of Egghead Begins
The residents of the island have been evacuated under the command of Zhan Taomaru, who led all 50 of the latest Pacifists to defend the southwest coast.

The crimson rocks rise and fall around the coastline. Zhan Taowan carries a huge double-edged battle axe on his shoulder, his eyes showing determination, and he stands firmly on a rock with his feet apart.

On the sea in front of him, countless steel warships filled his sight, facing each other in formation at a distance of a hundred meters.

The atmosphere of war became increasingly intense, and even the sea breeze was mixed with the smell of gunpowder.

"Hey~, long time no see, Zhan Taomaru."

The frivolous voice seemed particularly clear in this solemn atmosphere. On a warship, Kizaru stood at the bow with his hands in his pockets.

"The Straw Hat Pirates are in there, right? Could you please ask these pacifists to leave, if possible?"

Huang Yuan's voice was very soft, and he raised one hand to adjust his glasses, with a complicated look in his eyes.
"After all, I don't want to fight you, Zhan Taowan."

"Are you here to kill the doctor too? Answer my uncle!"

Seeing him appear, Zhan Taowan's eyes darkened, and instead of fear, he felt more anger and confusion.

The memories of the days we spent together are still lingering in my mind, and now we are facing each other with swords, which is really hard to accept.

"I will never take a step back!!"

boom!
Zhan Taowan gritted his teeth, took a big step to the right, stomped his body down, and shouted:

"If you want to attack the doctor, you'll have to step over my dead body! Come on, uncle! I'm the man with the strongest defense in the world!!"

"That's it"

Kizaru let out a light sigh and looked up at the sky with a dazed look in his eyes.

Vice Admiral Tsuru glanced at the bow of another warship, and after a brief assessment, he said to Akainu in a calm tone:

"Fifty third-generation Pacifists, in addition to fully upgraded performance, are also equipped with the latest bubble shield defenses. Ordinary soldiers will probably find it difficult to cause effective damage."

"I suggest that the vice admirals take the lead, and the artillery of the rear fleet provide cover to destroy this line of defense. In addition."

Vice Admiral Tsuru folded his arms in front of him, staring at Zhan Taomaru on the shore, and continued:
"In order to prevent control from being seized, our pacifists cannot be deployed for the time being. We must find a way to restrain Zhan Taomaru. Let Aramaki take action."

After hearing her words, Akainu thought quickly for two seconds and felt that there was nothing wrong. He nodded and replied in a deep voice:

"Well, just pass on the order as you said."

He specializes in combat staff work in the military and has extensive experience in large-scale combat. Whenever there is an important event, she will always be the first to appear on the front line.

Even at her advanced age, her position in the military was still very important, and Akainu treated Tsuru with great respect.

Soon, with bursts of mechanical roars, countless cannons began to adjust their angles.

The soldiers loaded the shells, and slowly aimed the black muzzles at the Zhan Tao Maru on the coast, waiting for the order.

"There's movement on the island!!"

At this moment, a tense shout suddenly came from the watchtower.

“Someone’s coming out!!”

"Inside the research institute!!"

"Be on guard!!"

Almost at the same time, urgent shouts came from the warships one after another, and the sailors below looked up at the watchtower with nervous expressions.

The soldier in charge of reconnaissance held the telescope tightly in his hand, and cold sweat inadvertently seeped out of his forehead. Through the magnified vision through the tube, he saw more than a dozen figures walking out of the research institute side by side.

As time went by, the soldier gradually held his breath, as if his heart was about to stop beating.

As the figures gradually became clearer, the scout's heart suddenly stopped. He took a deep breath and shouted with all his might:

"Target confirmed!!"

"It's the Straw Hat Pirates!!!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion below. All the soldiers began to feel uneasy. They stared at the clouds above the island and subconsciously tightened their weapons.

"Don't panic!!"

"Act as directed! Prepare to fight the Straw Hat Pirates!!"

The non-commissioned officers shouted loudly to calm the soldiers.

At the same time, a figure walked out from each of the leading row of warships.

More than 20 lieutenant generals from the headquarters, including Flying Squirrel, Burning Mountain, Ghost Spider, Dalmesia, etc., stood up.

"Yeah, yeah, that's really exaggerated."

Huoshaoshan bit a cigar in the corner of his mouth, squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky with a silly smile on his face:
"I've already felt this pressure even though I haven't even seen the person."

"That's normal. After all, their deeds have spread all over the world."

Dauberman's scarred face showed a bit of ferocity, and he said in a deep voice:
"We defeated three sea emperor forces in two months. It would be strange if we weren't nervous facing an opponent of this level."

"That's a bit of a boost to the enemy's morale, Dauberman."

A man with long wavy golden hair stood up, holding a long-handled hammer with a shell-shaped hammer head. Lieutenant General Peng Shiqi raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"No matter what, we have dispatched such a powerful force this time."

"That's right. There's no doubt that the Straw Hat Pirates are powerful, but we're not pushovers either."

Another burly man with a thick beard spoke up, and Lieutenant General Tucha stood up with a stern face.
"I haven't dealt with a Pirate Emperor-level force yet, but I always hear you talk about it, and I can't help but want to see it for myself."

"Really? Then you better be careful later."

Smoker said coldly while biting two cigars.

"Hey! What do you mean, Smoker?"

"That's exactly what it says. No need to thank me for reminding you."

Smoker glanced at him indifferently, turned his head and ignored him. Some things are useless if you just talk about them, you will understand them naturally after experiencing them yourself.

In the past two years, in order to encourage more people to actively respond to the world conscription, some promotion conditions in the military that are not related to combat have been relaxed a lot. This has made it easier for many people with good leadership talents and combat potential to be promoted.

Since they have been promoted to the position of lieutenant general, these people naturally have sufficient ability to do the job, but the lack of experience and knowledge is inevitable.

Many new generals have never even fought against pirate forces of this level. If they are careless in the battle, they may lose their lives at any time, and losing limbs is the least of their worries.

"Still as indifferent as ever, Smoker."

A short-haired woman wearing a tight black leather jacket and a spiked collar around her neck stepped forward and stood between the two men.

Lieutenant General Dor raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said in a somewhat sexy voice:

"It's not good for the soldiers to see us quarreling here. We should save our temper for the battle later."

"No matter what, our opponent is the true emperor of the sea, so everyone should be careful."

The flying squirrel also spoke in a low voice, his eyes looking straight to the edge of the clouds above, where he could vaguely see several human figures.

"They're coming."

Relying on the sky island cloud of the research institute, Reiner and others walked side by side to the edge of the cloud, and their vision suddenly became clear.

The blue sea and blue sky complement each other, and the floating white clouds seem to be touchable. Looking down, the white flags flying all over the sea come into view.

"It's not common for a Grand Admiral to personally lead the troops. It seems the Navy is determined to defeat us this time."

Reiner stood at the forefront, his gaze piercing through space to meet Akainu's. Sanji lowered his head, lit a cigarette, took a drag, and slowly exhaled the smoke. He then raised his head and said calmly:

"All the generals from our headquarters are here. This scene looks quite scary."

"Ah, I see a lot of old faces. Dao can hardly contain his excitement."

Zoro's lips curled up slightly, one hand resting casually on the hilt of his sword, and his eyes scanned the area below.

His gaze passed over the flying squirrel, Gion, and finally landed on Fujitora, who was wearing a purple samurai uniform and sitting silently on a wooden box.

"I still remember the fight in the middle of the Sabaody Archipelago. Don't try to steal it from me."

There was a glint of heat in Zoro's eyes.

The restrained and terrifying sword intent could not be felt by others, but it was extremely glaring in the mind of Fujitora, who was also a master of swordsmanship.

"What a ferocious sword intent! It seems I have been targeted."

Fujitora slowly stood up with the help of his sword, opened his cloudy eyes, and looked towards Zoro.

The two seemed to have tacitly recognized each other as their opponents.

Seeing this, the adjutant who had been following Fujitora for a long time understood what he meant and took out a document.
"The swordsman Roronoa, a swordsman who wields the three-sword style, is known for his ferocious and brutal swordsmanship."

"He once became famous for defeating the captain of the 2th Division, Flower Sword Vista, in a battle with the Whitebeard Pirates. His most recent achievement was defeating the captain of the Blackbeard Pirates' second ship, the former warden of Impel Down, Shiryu of the Rain, on Beehive Island!"

Finally, the adjutant raised his head and reported:
"Reward: 17 billion berries!"

"He's a man like a beast."

Fujitora said in a low voice, and walked forward steadily with his sword pointing at the deck, his expression serious.

He had fought with Zoro in the Sabaody Archipelago before, and he knew very well that the strength displayed by the other party at that time was far from his limit. Naturally, he would not underestimate this man at all.

Fujitora slowly raised his sword and held it horizontally in front of him. Purple gravity waves emanated from his hand, and he said in a deep voice:

"In that case, let me fire the first shot of the battle."

"Is Mr. Yixiao going to come on?"

"Go back!"

"The general is about to take action!"

Seeing Fujitora's actions, the surrounding marines immediately stepped back, their eyes full of confidence and expectation.

"Gravity Blade Fire Festival!!"

A flash of cold light passed by, and Fujitora drew his sword quickly and decisively. By the time others saw clearly, he had already slowly put away the sword and let out a long breath.

"—Huh, looks like this is all I can take at once."

click!
With the sound of the sheath closing, a circle of gravity light waves shot up into the sky and went straight into the clouds!
Usopp subconsciously looked up, and after a few seconds of silence, he suddenly realized something and his face turned panicked.
"Wait a minute! It's not that trick again!"

"Ah, it's coming."

Zoro suddenly spoke.

Compared to Usopp who just realized that something was wrong, he had already bit the Wado Ichimonji in his mouth, and then drew out the other two long swords from his waist and held them on his left and right.

As if to confirm his words, a rumbling sound gradually came from the distant sky, like the whistling of wind caused by waving a stick, but this one was as loud as thunder!
next moment.

boom! boom! boom!
Boom! Almost simultaneously, several holes were blasted into the thick clouds in the sky. In each hole, a massive meteorite, encased in blazing flames, fell from the sky with a force unmatched by anything!

“Ma’am, ma’am!!”

“That’s too much!!”

Seeing this scene, the timid trio turned pale and screamed, almost frightened to death.

More than a dozen meteorites fell rapidly with long tails of flames!
Not to mention them, even in the navy camp that was not affected by the meteorite group, many people's faces suddenly changed and they broke out in cold sweats.

Who would have thought that this general, who was usually so kind and amiable, would actually plan to sink the entire island to the bottom of the sea right from the start.

The blazing firelight illuminated everyone's face red, and they all looked up to see the fate that the meteor shower would bring to the Straw Hat Pirates.

But at this moment, a green-haired figure suddenly jumped up in their sight and rushed straight towards the terrifying meteorite group!
Zoro couldn't help but sneer, even he couldn't help but frown slightly,

"Tsk, this guy is really rude."

"but."

"This time, no matter how many more come, it will be the same!"

Zoro's mouth curled up slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he crossed his arms with two long swords standing upright at his sides. The domineering aura he exerted with all his strength wrapped around the blades, and gradually a phantom of a man with three heads and six arms appeared.

"Ghostly Nine Swords Style!!"

"Ashura: Draw the Sword!!"

——Shhh! !
A ring of sword light flashed between heaven and earth, and the cold sword energy was like ice from hell, instantly extinguishing the flames covering the meteorite.

Surrounded by a group of meteorites emitting white smoke, Zoro still kept the posture of swinging his sword. The dozen or so meteorites stopped falling and hovered in the air as if they had hit an invisible air wall.

Then, as the shadow on his body gradually dissipated, all the meteorites around him suddenly exploded!
boom! ! boom! ! boom! !

The sky seemed to be bursting with rock fireworks, and countless stones, still hot from the heat, flew down, trailing long tails of black smoke.

"Ahh.ah."

The group of naval soldiers below all widened their eyes and opened their mouths in horror for a long time.

"I used a knife to shatter sixteen meteorites!"

"Is this guy really a human?!"

Whoosh~click.

Zoro fell toward the shore and squatted steadily on a rock.

Zhan Taowan turned his head and glanced over, and couldn't help but sigh:

"You guys are incredibly stronger than you were two years ago."

"Oh, thank you for the compliment."

Zoro stood up and exhaled, pointing the black sword Shusui at Fujitora, quite provocatively.

"They exchanged a big move right away, I couldn't hold back any longer."

Reiner glanced at it, and raised the corner of his mouth meaningfully.

"I can't let the green algae-head steal all the limelight. If that's the case, I might as well return the favor."

Sanji slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and jumped down from the clouds.

"It's Blackfoot Sanji!!"

"Bounty: 17 billion berries! On par with Roronoa, expert in kicking, possesses the world's most destructive power, and is the heir to the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power!!"

Seeing Sanji's actions, all the navy members became nervous and immediately alert.

"Get ready for battle!!"
