Pirate: I'm just slacking off, do you really think I'm a noob?

"Mom, Totland's first line of defense has been completely breached by the navy. Now the personnel have been evacuated and are urgently deploying at the second line of defense."

boom!

An invisible pressure came from above Katakuri's head, as if the devil himself, emitting the breath of hell, was above him:

Click.

Layers of tiny cracks appeared on the floor, and Katakuri broke out in a cold sweat.

Da Da Da

Charlotte Linlin walked down from her seat and stood in front of Katakuri:

"Tell me why you failed to defend against the navy's attack."

Katakuri raised his head and said calmly:

"Mom, it's not because I didn't try my best, but the strong men sent by the navy are stronger. If it was just Sea Knight Jinbei alone, I wouldn't be afraid, but he also has a helper called Hancock, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, called the Empress."

Katakuri seems to be still afraid of the abilities of Empress Hancock.

That kind of weird ability, if it weren't for Katakuri's special ability to create sticky rice to resist, I'm afraid he would be petrified like everyone else. "You mean, Jinbei from the Sun Pirates is on the side of the Navy, right?"

Charlotte Lingling's eyes began to turn red, and she seemed to be going crazy again.

"If that's the case, then there's no need for Fishman Island to exist."

There was an agreement between Jinbe and Big Mom at the beginning. Big Mom was responsible for protecting Fishman Island from harassment by other pirates, and Jinbe would do something for Big Mom as compensation.

Later, the matter ended because the navy took over, but Big Mom unilaterally believed that Jinbe did not comply with the agreement.

"Gather the rest of the family and prepare for a big battle with the navy."

In New Marin Van Donne, Aramaki and Yixiao were sitting on the sofa in the Marshal's office.

Rowley was flipping through the documents in his hand with a serious look on his face.

Huangmu kept secretly observing the young commander, seeming to be thinking about Raleigh's characteristics.

Yixiao was not as excited as Huangmu when he saw Luoli.

Instead, he held the teacup in his hand, drinking the freshly opened tea with a calm expression, looking contented.

After a long time, Yixiao opened his eyes slightly and said with some emotion:

"Before I came here, I thought Marshal Raleigh would be a ruthless or cruel soldier. It seems that I underestimated the people in this world."

"No matter how I sense it, I still cannot detect the malice in Marshal Raleigh's heart. It seems that Marshal Raleigh has no malice towards anything in the world. Can you tell me?"

Luo Li was a little confused. He didn't quite understand what Yixiao meant, so he could only say:

"Mr. Yixiao, I'm sorry I didn't understand what you meant. Why should I be malicious towards everything in this world? I think this world is so beautiful, why would it be full of malice?"

Huangmu also found Raleigh's words incredible.

Because in his understanding, Raleigh is a person who hates pirates deeply, and all pirates must die, regardless of whether they are good or bad.

How could such a person have no ill will towards pirates?

Huangmu then spoke:

"But Marshal Raleigh, I have carefully read the stories about you that have been circulating in the outside world, and I have discovered that you have been determined to kill all pirates from the very beginning. How could you not have any malicious intent?"

Luo Li suddenly realized, nodded, shook his head and asked:

"You have misunderstood. Malice only arises when you care about something."

"We breathe air every day. How many people have ever been malicious towards the air?"

Raleigh's meaning was clear enough.

In his eyes, pirates were not even human, no different from air and dirt, and in his eyes, killing was not even considered a crime.

Yixiao said with some worry on his face:

"But as far as I know, some of those pirates have really not committed any serious mistakes. I even know that several pirate groups have helped the public resist harassment from the mafia and other pirates."

Seeing this, Raleigh took out a document and handed it over, saying:

"Mr. Yixiao, before we discuss this issue, I think you might as well take a look at this statistics jointly compiled by the World Government and the Navy on the damage caused by pirates to the world."

"The World Government once issued an order strictly prohibiting private voyages, and regarded pirates as criminals who challenged the law. So in my understanding, they are just a group of lawless villains who do not abide by the law."

"If you want to travel around the world, you can just be a free traveler. The World Government doesn't care about travelers, but they insist on flying a pirate flag to show that they are different.

"We never place our hopes on the kindness of villains. The order of the navy is to use iron means and bloody facts to tell the world that if you become a pirate, you must die."

Huangmu's face showed unimaginable joy and enthusiasm:

"You are absolutely right, Marshal Raleigh!"

"You are the most handsome man I have ever seen in my life. You are worthy of being my idol!"

In Huangmu's eyes, there is actually no difference between people.

He felt that everything in the world was divided into things that could be absorbed and things that were difficult to absorb, and he could have no malice towards anyone.

After a moment of silence, Luo Li said:

"Now the battles between the Navy, the Revolutionary Army, and the Pirates have begun simultaneously. The two of you have come all the way from the Grand Line and have already gained a certain understanding."

"I would like to ask you two what you think of the current navy and which battlefield you would like to visit?"

Huangmu said repeatedly:

"Marshal Raleigh, I have admired your management since I arrived at New Marinford. I believe that such a navy is worthy of the strongest overlord status on this sea."

"If I were to tell you what I think, I would like to go to Sihai to have a look, because I also admire General Sakaski very much, and I think it would be very interesting to cooperate with General Sakaski."

Yixiao nodded and said:

"Indeed, Lord Aramaki is right."

"From my experience traveling all the way, I can see that the navy, whether it is senior officers or soldiers at the bottom, are full of firm beliefs, which is very admirable."

"It's just that I think sometimes the navy's approach is too ruthless. No matter how many people among the enemy are forced to participate,

All of them were completely strangled."

"Does such behavior violate the principles of naval justice?"

Huangmu was very unhappy because this was his favorite place in Raleigh.

"Hey! Mr. Yixiao!!"

Luo Li chuckled and interrupted Huang Mu:

"Mr. Yixiao is right, but let me tell you why."

"Because I'm the Admiral of the Navy, the highest commander in the Navy.'"

"I cannot give lenient orders to the Marines just because there are people among the enemy who are forced to participate, because this will lead to the sacrifice of many innocent Marines."

"As a naval commander, I have to consider the global situation, the safety of the people of the world and the safety of the naval soldiers, not the lives of one or two innocent people."

Yixiao was stunned for a moment. He felt that there was a flaw in Luo Li's words, but he couldn't figure out where the problem lay in a short period of time.

Raleigh smiled and said:

"Mr. Yixiao, I value your coming and your question very much, but I hope you can also understand the burden I bear."

"When you were training in the Grand Line, you only had to consider your own safety and never cared about anything else. But the admirals and marshals are different. You must remember that every order we give will be accompanied by the death of our sailors."

'This is inevitable. As long as there is war there will be death, but I hope we can always keep the number of deaths to a minimum. '

Raleigh pointed to the sky and said:

"The sky above us has been like this for eight hundred years, and it is still like this today, but the people under the sky have changed. I dare say that this is the best era for the people in the first half of the Grand Line and the New World."

"Because our policies are different, we have exchanged the sacrifice of a small number of people for the happiness of the vast majority."

"This war against pirates and the Revolutionary Army will eventually break out at a certain point in time, even if I maintain a basic balance like the previous admirals did. War is inevitable. The only thing we can do is to end the war in our generation. This is what I want to do and what I am doing."

Yixiao fell into deep thought again. He had never thought about this aspect. He just spoke from his own point of view. He believed that there were good and bad pirates, and that there were still pirates who could change.

But he never thought that anyone who stepped into the battlefield was already an enemy.

Raleigh sighed:

"Perhaps years later, they will call me a tyrant, a dictator. But since I started serving in the Navy, I have never wavered in my commitment to justice. I hope to change this world for the better.

"For eight hundred years, there has never been a trace of peace on this sea. People all over the world have longed for peace for too long."

"Also, it may be that my methods of dealing with pirates are too ruthless, and everyone is afraid of them, so they think that only under the leadership of someone like me can the navy truly achieve victory."

"Mr. Yixiao and Mr. Huangmu may not be aware of our conscription situation. In the first half of the Grand Line, some islands actually have no young and middle-aged people left, because anyone over the age of twelve will choose to participate in the navy conscription."

'If we hadn't strongly stopped it, there would have been many ladies joining in. I stopped this behavior because we haven't reached the point where we need women to go to the battlefield. But if the battle between us and the pirates becomes a matter of life and death, I will not show any mercy and recruit female soldiers.'

Luo Li's words exploded in Yixiao and Huangmu's minds.

They had never thought about it between them.

I just think that the relationship between pirates and the navy is inherently hostile, and it doesn't make sense to say who is good or bad.

But it’s different now. Raleigh’s words made them understand one thing from the bottom of their hearts, that is, the navy was founded in the world with the belief that pirates must be eliminated.

Although Luo Li's tone was not very intense, it was like a bell, cleansing Yixiao and Huangmu's hearts and making their blood boil.

Yixiao took a deep breath, bent down and bowed to Luo Li to apologize:

"I thought Marshal Raleigh was a cold-blooded man, but I never saw today that he has a heart as broad as the sky."

"Looking back on my life, I destroyed my own eyes because I was afraid of seeing the evil in the world, and I was complacent. I had great power but I always went with the flow and never thought about completely solving the evil in the world."

“Compared to what Marshal Raleigh did, I am the stupidest man in the world.

"It's a pity that I'm blind and have no chance to see Marshal Raleigh's extraordinary demeanor in suppressing the evils of the world!"

Raleigh had a relaxed smile on his face.

"Mr. Yixiao, Mr. Huangmu, the burden of justice will now fall on you. Please don't let me down."

In the new world, in the Palace of Nations, a screen projection brings Charlotte Linlin and Shanks closer together.

In front of the screen, Charlotte Lingling sat on the throne, holding a donut in her hand, eating and saying:

"Mamma

"Red-haired brat, what on earth are you thinking? The navy is about to break through the second line of defense of the Wan Guo. It is said that the navy headquarters will send another admiral-level combat force."

"If you don't take action, then I will have no choice but to fight them face to face."

Charlotte Lingling's eyes were filled with strong murderous intent, and the air around them began to solidify.

She has never been a good-tempered person.

After so long, under the attack of Jinbe and Hancock, some of the personnel of Bankoku have been lost, and even several islands of the second line of defense have been completely destroyed.

If it weren't for Charlotte Linlin guarding Cake Island, Jinbe and Hancock would probably have broken through the second line of defense by now.

Although the second line of defense has not been breached yet, it is still in danger and there is no telling when it will be breached by the navy.

Obviously Shanks is weaker than himself, but what I don’t understand is why the Seven Warlords of the Sea on Shanks’ side are not as crazy as those on this side.

On the other screen, Shanks' expression was relatively calm.

"Don't worry, BIGMOM."

"I have found allies and am arranging a time with them to relieve the pressure on the Navy."

"There are too many secrets between us to tell you, but I can tell you one thing, not all of the Seven Warlords of the Sea are loyal to the Navy, and they also have conflicts and deals with the Navy."

After saying this, Shanks ended the call, leaving Charlotte Linlin alone in a daze on the throne.

After a while, Charlotte Lingling's eyes sparkled:

"Stussie, check it for me.

At this moment, in front of Shanks, Tyrant Bear, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was sitting opposite him drinking tea.

After seeing Shanks hang up the phone, he raised his head and asked:
