Chapter 139
The sun shines on the sparkling sea, like the sea was putting on a golden coat. The sky was divided into two parts: fiery-red sunlight and the other was enveloped by darkness.
Under the sunset, the entire sea was calm and beautiful. Above the sea, white light flew past the sea with extreme speed, stirring waves of air and leaving a clear trace on the sea.
Lin Tian, who was flying above the sea surface, wasn’t in the mood to appreciate the beauty. At this time, Lin Tian was thinking about the plan in his mind over and over again, improving again and again.
There was no way. If you want to catch a fish in troubled water and under the eyes of so many powerhouses, then to only retreat without arousing suspicion, it’s difficult. So not only the Marine needed a perfect plan, but comrades that can keep it a secret.
Lin Tian wasn’t currently worried about his ident.i.ty being revealed. Because everyone knows that he had left for Korod. He had already told Roberts that he would stay in the cabin and sleep there. He told Roberts not to disturb people with his absence.
While Lin Tian was thinking about this, a huge island shadow also slowly appeared in front of Lin Tian.
‘Korod, I, Lin Tian, is back again!’
……
At this time, this serious, tense, and murderous atmosphere really filled the sky over Korod. The residents of the island all returned to their homes under the Marine’s notice. Even in the busy Peak today, there were no people. Most shops were closed.
The air was filled with that unusual atmosphere, and the pirates who appeared in groups on the street felt that this evening would not be simple.
At the Peak, Goodritt stood on the highest floor, holding a gla.s.s of red wine in his hand, looking at the illuminated Marine base in the distance. Uncle Teng and the four black-clothed persons also stood by.
“Old Teng, how’s the boat?” Goodritt asked directly without turning around.
“Master, the ship is ready. But in this case, should we really go to the side to watch the battle?” said Uncle Teng.
Goodritt drank the red wine in the gla.s.s, said with a smile: “Isn’t it a pity to miss this kind of thing?”
……
In a huge Pirate Ship, the leaders of Donquixote Pirates gathered in a Conference Hall.
Doflamingo spoke with a gloomy complexion: “This time the plan has changed. Gladius, Lao G, Diamante, you three go lead the rubbish pirates.”
“Aye!”
The three of them responded quickly, with a trace of shame on their faces.
Originally, Doflamingo was planning to let Buffalo, Dellinger, and Baby 5 go instead of them. The strengths of these three people were relatively weak. The strength of the cadres does not need to be too high to command the rubbish pirates.
[TL note: Buffalo is the alias of a combatant of the Donquixote Pirates and an officer of the Pica Army. His real name has yet to be revealed.]
[TL note: Dellinger is a combatant and an officer of the Donquixote Pirates’ Diamante Army who is a hybrid between a human and a fighting fish fish-man.]
But Doflamingo didn’t expect that all three were unable to deal with a little kid. When they came back, all three of them suffered severe injuries. Their loss was more than a little bit, and the little kid wasn’t even killed. Doflamingo was extremely angry.
Doflamingo did not expect that he ever underestimated the little demon. This made Doflamingo, who thought he was in control of everything, extremely unhappy. Now, not only did he not kill the little demon, but he also offended Garp.
“This time, the plan must not fail. Only when things are done today can we proceed with the next plan. Understand?”
“Understood!”
……
At this time, there was still a more powerful force that has always been hidden. And that was the Revolutionary Army.
At the southeast corner of Korod, next to a small beach. There are countless beaches like this on Korod, but there is a huge ship docked here, which is the temporary stop of the Revolutionary Army.
On the deck, the mysterious man, Dragon, was leaning over the railing, looking at the dark-filled sea. Who knows what he was thinking.
Suddenly a word came from behind, “Dragon, are we really going to take part in this battle for heavenly gold?”
It turned out to be the Revolutionary Army cadres. Then, followed by Okama King Ivankov, Bartholomew k.u.ma walked over together and asked from behind.
[TL note: Bartholomew k.u.ma is a former Warlord of the Sea, the former king of the Sorbet Kingdom, and a former officer of the Revolutionary Army with a bounty of 296,000,000.]
Dragon replied with an extremely firm tone: “Well, in order to achieve our goal very quickly, we must partic.i.p.ate in this ‘heavenly gold’ event.”
Ivankov said: “However, our strength is still a little insufficient. If we hijack the heavenly gold, then we will be completely exposed to the whole world. Our purpose and goals will also be exposed. I’m afraid that all the World n.o.bles will be our enemies. We’re not ready yet.”
“It is because of our lack of strength that we need to do this.” Dragon turned and said to the two of them. “This time I thought about it carefully. The ‘Heavenly Gold’ is a huge wealth. I don’t need to say more about the specific value; you already know.”
The treasures of 100 partic.i.p.ating countries around the world, tributing it to the World Government. One can imagine how much it is worth when converted to Berry. This is a moving figure to anyone. Otherwise, these pirates wouldn’t come here, to begin with.
“Currently, what we lack is money. Arms, food, and some plans need money. If we can get this wealth, our goals and plans can be achieved much faster. Even if we’re exposed to the world, it is worth it. Besides, being exposed to the whole world; it is not without benefit for us. More partners who share our dreams can join us.”
Ivankov thought for a while and then said: “Hip-hop, since you have made up your mind, let’s do it. Anyway, with our strength, none of these pirates can compare with us.”
“If that’s the case, we have to start preparing too, but tonight doesn’t seem to be peaceful.”
Ivankov, who turned around to leave, suddenly remembered that he had come here to report the latest information to Dragon. So he quickly turned around and said, “Oh, ya, Dragon. My companion in the Marine sent the latest information again.”
“Oh, what information is it?” Dragon asked curiously. If it is not important, they won’t risk it.
Since last night, the Marine has cut off the entire Marine base from the outside channel for secrecy. As a result, Dragon has lost contact with their companions in the Marine. Therefore, only now did they find a chance to send the latest information.
After receiving the information from them, Ivankov came to look for Dragon.
“Just last night, the reinforcements sent by the Marine headquarters arrived at the Marine base. There are nine battleships. Five Marine Vice Admirals namely Bastille, Tsuru, Kuzan, Momonga, and Dalmatian. There are ten Rear Admirals, and a total of 6000 Marine soldiers. And that night, all Marine Rear Admirals led by the Admiral held a meeting together. The specific content is unknown.”
After listening to this information, Dragon also had to take it seriously. He didn’t expect that this time the Marine Headquarters valued their plan so much. They did not hesitate to send these reinforcements. It seems that the pirates have to suffer this time.
“The Hero of the Marines, Vice Admiral Garp is here?” Dragon asked aloud.
“He had already left this morning. If he’s partic.i.p.ating, the success rate of our operation this time can be said to almost be zero.”
With Marine Vice-Admiral Garp’s reputation; of course, Ivankov has also heard of it, but it stands to reason that at this time, he has such powerful battle strength. So why would he leave now? Ivankov looked puzzled at this.
“An incident happened last night. And it has something to do with us.”
“What, us?” Dragon said with a puzzled face.
Ivankov did not answer but asked: “Last night, the kid who helped us; do you remember him?”
“I remember. Isn’t he that Marine’s strongest genius? Did something happen to him?” Dragon asked.
“En!” Ivankov nodded, replied: “The little demon was ambushed last night. He was seriously injured and fled to the Marine base and almost died.”
“Oh, hmm?” Hearing this news, Dragon’s face also showed a hint of surprise.
Ivankov sighed: “It seems that at that time, his teacher, Vice Admiral Garp was so furious that he almost went out immediately to shot the pirates, but was stopped by Vice Admiral Tsuru, his more powerful teacher.”
Dragon just nodded and um’ed. He was just looking at the front and not knowing what he was thinking. Bartholomew k.u.ma, on one side, has not spoken at all, just quietly listening to the conversation between the two.
At this time, the sound of ‘peng’ sound rang from the cabin. Three of them couldn’t help but put their eyes there and were immediately shocked. Everyone knew that the only one that would do this kind of thing on the boat was the kid.
“Unexpectedly, the Revolutionary Army would actually talk about my Marine.”
