Pirates: It's not a mythical beast, it's a phantom god

After letting the fleet as the background disappear, La looked up at the Warring States in the sky... Even though he tried his best to speed up by stepping on the moon, he still couldn't catch up with La's speed of destruction.

The operation undoubtedly failed.

But Zhan Guo still had no intention of giving up the fight. Even if it was just to buy time for the remaining survivors to escape, he had to fight with all his might until the last moment!

"Vajra!"

……

call out--

A golden feather of light pierced the palm of the skyscraper that fell from the sky. The dazzling golden light dimmed in an instant, and Zhan Guo himself was strangely fixed in mid-air.

"Zhan, the Warring States General?"

A navy called out softly, causing tiny ripples in the air.

Click!

Like fragile porcelain, fine cracks burst out from the palm of Zhan Guo's hand, and then extended along his right arm all the way up to his chest and even his entire body - the indestructible golden body of Buddha was broken.

Chapter 258 Defeat

Click~

Click~

Click click click~

The sound of shattering continued to ring out, and fine cracks gradually spread from the palm of his hand to the whole body. Finally, the golden body that was several feet tall and as imposing as a mountain shattered.

puff~

Blood gushed out from all parts of his body like a fountain. Zhan Guo, who had turned back into an ordinary human form, could no longer maintain the Moon Step and fell powerlessly from the air.

The coat of justice that had been draped firmly on his shoulders also slipped off at this moment and fluttered in the sea breeze.

He lost.

The defeat was quite complete.

The defeat was without a doubt.

It seemed as if many people were calling his name, but they all disappeared the next moment.

His vision gradually dimmed, his thinking gradually became slow...the massive blood loss in a short period of time made his consciousness begin to blur.

wow~

After dealing with the generals who rushed up, Zhan Guo stretched out his hand and grabbed the back of his collar when Zhan Guo fell in front of him to prevent him from falling into the sea.

"you……"

The figure in front of him gradually turned into a blurry golden mass. After muttering a few unclear words, Zhan Guo's consciousness finally fell into darkness.

……

"Yo~ You're awake~"

"Is there anything that makes you feel uncomfortable...uh..."

"Perhaps I should ask if there's anywhere comfortable?"

A voice full of energy and a bit of weirdness came from my ears. It seemed familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere not long ago.

Zhan Guo opened his eyes with some effort, but his vision was still a little blurry, which made him squint subconsciously.

Hmm... it seemed like there was a ball of red stuff swaying in front of his eyes, which reminded him of the red bean daifuku that his family often made when he was a child.

However, he actually doesn't like the sweet and sticky taste. In comparison, the fried rice cake slices in the Navy cafeteria are more to his taste.

His frowning and squinting look also attracted the attention of 'Red Bean Daifu' in front of him.

"Hmm? Why...oh~ Is it because you're nearsighted and can't see clearly?"

Because he was also nearsighted when he was a [Wandering Spirit], Osi immediately saw the reason why Zhan Guo was squinting, and then walked over to a small box with a clatter.

This is a place specifically for storing personal belongings confiscated during the Warring States Period.

"Glasses! Glasses! Ah! Got it!"

After a burst of rummaging sounds, 'Red Bean Daifu' walked up to Zhan Guo, stood on tiptoe and put the round-frame glasses on his face.

"Hmm~ Can you see clearly now?"

"Well, thank you..."

"Um?!"

"why you?"

When the picture became clear, the familiar figure in his memory corresponded to the face in front of him, and Zhan Guo was suddenly startled.

"Hi~"

Just this tiny movement caused excruciating pain to spread throughout his body, causing him to subconsciously tense his body, but he was completely unable to exert any strength.

Wow…

As he swayed, the rattling sound of iron chains began to echo in this small space.

"Hmm? These are... handcuffs?"

Only then did Zhan Guo realize that his hands were actually chained, and judging from the style of the chains, they were seastone handcuffs specially issued to their navy.

No wonder he has no strength left in his body now.

"Hey hey hey ~ Don't get excited, do I look that scary?"

Red Bean Daifuku...that is, Osi saw that the other party's wound showed signs of breaking, and hurried forward to comfort him.

I heard from Kaido and the others that this uncle with a round head in front of them is going to be exchanged for many things, and we can't let anything happen to him.

"You are... [Ming Ji]!"

"Where am I now?!"

"Where are the officers and soldiers under my command?"

"Where are they now?"

"Where's the golden girl?"

"And... cough cough!"

A series of questions and worries flooded into his mind, making Zhan Guo eager to get up and find out the truth.

"Hey hey hey~ Don't get excited first, just ask them one by one."

Osi hurriedly pushed Zhan Guo's raised upper body back onto the bed.

"Sister La only treated you briefly. You are still seriously injured. It will be dangerous if you move around."

Like a diligent intern nurse, Osi patiently looked after Zhan Guo, who was wrapped in bandages.

After all, in her eyes, the current Zhan Guo is like a piggy bank, and she has to take good care of him and not let him break.

……

Perhaps it was Ossi's sincere comfort that worked, or perhaps it was the pain in his body that made him regain his sanity. In any case, Zhan Guo really didn't struggle anymore.

"Eh~"

"Tell me, what do you want?"

After calming down, Zhan Guo guessed the fact that he was captured after just a moment's thought.

"Hmm... Looks like it's quieted down. But please stop moving around~"

Seeing that the other party seemed to have adjusted his mood, Osi sat back on his small stool and began to answer Zhan Guo's questions.

"First of all, this is the cadre-only ward on Fenrir Island."

"Because you have just recovered from the critical period, we were afraid that you would suddenly collapse, so we placed you here."

"As for your men... one of the two ships you sent out seems to have escaped. As for the others..."

Ossie said no more.

In fact, she also heard from Burfat afterwards that after picking out several sailors he was interested in from the sea, La simply set the entire sea on fire.

The golden flames covered the entire sea surface almost in an instant, and the sailors disappeared without even feeling any pain.

Seeing this scene, many people from the beast world couldn't help but turn pale. Life was swept away like dust before their eyes.

What Zhan Guo said was actually correct. Beneath the gentle and polite appearance, from a human perspective, the real La was terribly cold and indifferent.

"Well... let's continue~"

Seeing that the other party did not react excessively, Osi continued to chat with him.

"Anyway, the current situation is that you, uncle, have been captured by us, and we have already written to the World Government, asking them to pay to ransom you."

As he spoke, Osi took out a draft of a letter from his small satchel and began to read it to Zhan Guo:

"cough~"

“From the World Government:

We, the Beasts Pirates, solemnly declare that your subordinate naval fleet brazenly invaded our Fenrir territorial waters on June 21, 1492 of the Sea Circle Calendar, and your rude act of unilaterally declaring war has caused serious damage to our interests and territorial security.

We had no choice but to launch a self-defense counterattack and successfully thwarted your military provocation. During the operation, we captured your naval fleet commander, General Zhan Guo, and his fleet commander, a lieutenant general, a brigadier general, and a soldier, a total of 4 people.

We promise that all prisoners of war will be treated as normal diplomatic envoys and provided with safe medical care.

You may send a special envoy within 30 days to negotiate the repatriation of personnel through private diplomatic channels.

The conditions for repatriation are shown in the attached table.

If you fail to comply with the terms of the Schedule by [deadline], we will not guarantee the safety of the lives and property of the prisoners of war and will publicly condemn your violation of our territorial waters.

We hope that your coalition government will face up to its war crimes and refrain from escalating the situation.

The specific handover procedures will be coordinated and implemented by both parties after your country has paid the compensation terms.

顺致

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

boom!

In the office of the Admiral of the Navy, after reading the letter sent by a captured soldier of the Beast Faction, Sora smashed the expensive desk that had been passed down for generations into pieces with a single punch.

"asshole!"

"Huh... Contact the Holy Land for me and tell them I want to meet the Five Elders."

"Also, if Garp comes back, tell him to stop running around and wait for me in the office!"

Said Admiral Kong slammed the door and walked out, rushing towards Mary Geoise in a hurry.

Chapter 259 The Third Force

"Warring States was defeated?"

In a clean and spacious office in the Holy Land of Marijoa, the crutched "God of Scientific Defense" Jaigolucia Satan was unusually surprised when he heard the news from Sora.

"Not only that, the fleet they brought was also completely destroyed. The survivors, including the Warring States, only amounted to four people."

Kong added with a grim expression that he didn't know at this moment that Alberic, who had been sent by Sengoku to deal with Scapgate, and two warships were still drifting in the New World.

But it doesn't matter if you know it. After all, compared with the overall losses, a major general is nothing.

One admiral, two lieutenant generals, five major generals and nearly thirty warships were all lost and never returned... Such a huge loss was unprecedented in the history of the navy.

This almost shook the foundation of the navy!

The Navy's strategy for the next decade will have to make compromises and adjustments that he is unwilling to see.

"Well...this matter does need to be handled with caution."

"So what do the beasts say?"

Since Zhan Guo was not killed directly and the incident was not widely publicized in the newspapers, it means that Bai Shou actually has the willingness to negotiate.
