Look at each other and take action!
A sword, a fist, they collided in space at an odd speed.
The sound was so loud that no sound was heard at the moment of collision. As a circular shock wave spread from the center, finally, a huge collision sound came into the world.
A strong light covered the entire island, and the gas explosion cloud enveloped the sea area within a radius of 10 nautical miles, and the sea water was directly pushed away.
The broken sword energy and scattered shock waves caused a huge tsunami in the nearby sea.
Win? Lose?
Chapter 179 Zefa's Stubbornness
"You have seen what the South China Sea is like now, and you have also seen what the South China Sea Alliance has done. So is it possible that what I said to you five years ago will come true?"
"All intelligent species in the world unite?"
"Yes, you see, we have already united the people of the South China Sea, and the fishmen have also joined in. This is a good start."
"You... did do what you said back then, but the World Government is not that simple."
"Hmm~ The one with the Sky Throne? Or the ancient weapon?"
"Don't you know too much? If so, are you going to continue doing this? Seeing your actions in the South China Sea, I can even see the coming of a world war."
"Then come and help us, so that the world war can be ended sooner."
"Hahahaha, what are you kidding? I agree with what you have done to the common people, but I don't approve of what you have done to the sea. How much do you know about the strength of the navy + world government?"
"Why can't it be the Revolutionary Army + the Navy?"
"Damn little devil, you really have no good intentions when you come to me. Let's go, I'll let you go this time."
Zefa dragged his seriously injured body and prepared to go back. He couldn't say a few more words to Noah. He was really a dangerous person. The power of language was unparalleled. When he went back, he suggested that Zhan Guo raise the bounty for this guy. 50 billion was too little.
He took off with a moon step and ran in the direction he came from, but his back staggered from time to time while running.
Looking at the black spot going away, Noah couldn't help but sigh, what a strong old man he is all his life. And he still had a lot to say, but he didn't expect that he would just run away like this, becoming cunning, Mr. Zefa. But as long as you are in the South China Sea, you can't run away.
Touch your broken bones.
"Hiss~ It hurts a little, but I win."
Yes, Noah won the final duel. That sword defeated Zefa's iron fist and broke through Zefa's defense. At the last moment, the power of the sword was forcibly deflected and released through the Door-Door Fruit.
Behind Zefa, a fan-shaped sword energy space with a radius of one kilometer was formed. The land, sea water, and life were completely wiped out from this area. It may not be as shocking as the sword that split the sky, but the power is definitely more than that.
According to Zefa, when facing that sword, there was always a voice judging his heart, and he was a little shaken. As a result, the power of the sword increased dramatically and he was defeated.
He repeatedly stated that it was not because he was old, but simply because Noah's domineering color was too strange.
Forget it, forget it. Let's go back to the Island of Life first, heal the wounds and then come back to find Zefa. He casually opened a space door and stepped in, sending out the infinite door-opening and travel-speeding magic.
Over there, Zefa returned to the warship at dawn. The adjutant and the recruits were stunned when they saw the miserable state of teacher Zefa.
The replica's sunglasses were broken, his coat of justice was gone, his body was chopped to pieces, his purple hair was shaved off in several patches, and his blood had formed scabs on his body. It was too miserable.
"Humph, what are you looking at? Don't you need to train? Go run 10 laps around the island, go now."
"Yes!"
A group of recruits were stunned by Zefa's loud voice and quickly went for a run, gossiping while running.
"Hey, brother, why didn't you tell me that there are so many powerful masters in your South China Sea? Look, our instructor was beaten up when he just came to the South China Sea. It's only been a few months, and he was beaten up again. Even those in the Grand Line are not so fierce."
"Who knows? At headquarters, they all said that the admirals were the pinnacle of the ocean, and I wondered, how come this pinnacle wasn't very powerful outside of the Grand Line?
Besides, let alone the South China Sea masters, I don’t even know how much my family has changed. Do you dare to believe that there are free schools on a small island now? It’s outrageous…”
“This trip to the South China Sea has broadened my horizons.”
I didn't lose the first match. I was evenly matched with that blind swordsman. Evenly matched! The match with Noah,... humph!
Zefa, who was far away, was even more furious when he heard the recruits muttering. He picked up the adjutant and said, "Let them do five more laps later. You stay here and watch."
After saying that, he went back to his room to tidy up his look.
I walked into the room and looked at myself in the mirror. Well, anyone who saw me like this would feel like a loser.
After washing up, he took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, then took out the Den Den Mushi that he used to contact Sengoku, held it for a long time, and then put it down.
"Oh, I really don't know what to do. Let's wait and see."
Sometimes Zefa would think, if only the Revolutionary Army could do something bad, he could arrest those guys ruthlessly.
When he walked out of the bedroom, he saw the adjutant standing there staring at the training of the new recruits obediently. He sat aside and read a book with great satisfaction. There was a box of books, but he had not even finished the first one. He didn't know whether it was directed at him or if the revolutionary army needed to read so many books.
"Teacher Zefa, do we need to report what happened last night to the headquarters? It seems that the situation in the South China Sea may require the support of the admiral."
"No need. I won last night. There are no other problems. We should continue to investigate the naval branch in the South China Sea. Dig out those termites one by one and send them all to Impel Down."
"Yes."
In the Revolutionary Army, Noah came back with injuries and immediately looked for Big Bear, because Zephyr's attack had a high amount of real damage, so Big Bear had to waste a lot of energy to recover from the injury. A huge pink bubble appeared in the air, and he resisted it.
It can already treat this kind of admiral-level injury, it seems that the fruit has been developed to a certain extent. From now on, it is just a matter of time and effort, or waiting for an epiphany.
"Bear, you need to improve your physical fitness. An admiral cannot have any physical weaknesses, otherwise you will suffer." Noah said personally that the fight was very fierce this time. The pure physical ability to withstand blows was too strong, and the opponent's moves had no loopholes. He was really strong.
"Yeah." Big Bear nodded and went to the cafeteria, ready to pick a lucky sea beast. Oh, he had to pick several sea beasts this time, otherwise he would not be able to bear it.
At noon, the soldiers who had been training all day and the trainees from the boot camp came to the cafeteria. They were a little surprised to see the table full of meat. What day was this?
I was so hungry that I couldn't bear it anymore. I didn't care what day it was. Angmu took a bite. Damn, the meat was so rotten. This was another masterpiece of the tyrant bear! But this time the amount was too much. The rotten meat was not chewy and was not very delicious.
The chef in the cafeteria was also helpless. The meat had to be eaten and could not be wasted.
Moreover, after working as a chef for so many years, he actually feels sympathy for sea beasts. It's so sad.
Chapter 180 Prelude to War
The turbulent year of 1512 finally came to an end, and the top leaders of the revolutionary army gathered together again to summarize and plan.
A bustling group of people squeezed into the conference room. Looking at the full room, they decided to move to a larger conference room next time.
Noah specifically asked Yixiao to bring the top three student representatives from the boot camp to attend the session. In the future, all young people will enter here, so it is good to feel the atmosphere earlier. Besides, the outstanding people are now about to show their talents.
Daxiong was the person responsible for summarizing information and making reports. Although his voice was as steady as a robot, the content of his reports made everyone present excited.
“The revolutionary army has achieved great results this year and has basically stabilized its progress in all aspects in the South China Sea.
First, the South China Sea Federation plan has come to an end. Most small countries have signed agreements, expressing their willingness to jointly build the South China Sea and agreeing to the deployment of our guidance personnel.
There are also some who are in a wait-and-see state. The rulers are unwilling to hand over power or are unwilling to have their power regulated. We are working on these issues and do not rule out the use of force.
The federal government is now in the final legislative consultation process and expects to make an announcement in the early first half of this year.
Second, the cleansing and control plan of the South China Sea Naval Branch progressed very well, and both parts were completed perfectly.
First, Her Royal Highness Princess Otohime used her Observation Haki to screen and mark the corrupt officials within the navy one by one, and then our intelligence personnel conducted in-depth investigations and collected evidence.
Then, with the help of General Zefa..., we cleared out those interest groups that stood in our way.
Now the top brass of each naval base in the South China Sea have already arranged their own people, and this proportion is still increasing as Admiral Zefa's work progresses.
The infiltration work will go more and more smoothly. It is expected that within three years, most of it will be completely under control. After that, the South China Sea Navy can be counted as our combat power.
Third, the Ocean Connection Plan of Base Station 0 is also going well. The construction of ground base stations has been gradually extended from the Kingdom of Sobel to the member states of the South China Sea Federation, ensuring that every island with human habitation can be covered by the signal.
Base station production bases and instant messenger factories have also been deployed in some poor countries, and operations have started without polluting the local environment. The latest radios have also been created based on the designs of Noah consultants.
Fourth, plans such as agricultural improvement, soil structure reform, institutional reform, and business model change are being slowly adjusted and implemented according to the unique conditions of each country. Currently, the public feedback is very good, and there is basically no stereotyped reform behavior. The situation is very good, and there is great support for us.
Finally, the infiltration of the South China Sea World member states is also continuing, but it is relatively slow. As the vested beneficiaries, we are naturally class-opposed, so it is very difficult, but we are still continuing. "
As Daxiong sat down, the high-ranking officials of the revolutionary army present all started to discuss enthusiastically. Although these were all things done by everyone themselves, after summarizing them, they found that they had actually done so many great things, and their morale was high.
According to this plan, the South China Sea will be basically taken over within two years.
The three young men who came to the meeting also let out a low cry. While they were studying hard and practicing hard this year, the revolutionary army actually did so many things.
Bonnie and Xiao Feng were completely shocked, but Taizog's eyes were sparkling with fire. His instinctive love for power was second only to money. If he could be part of such a magnificent event, his life would be without regrets!
Long and Noah looked at each other and smiled. When we become stronger, the enemy will become weaker. Let the people of the South China Sea experience the new life first.
Then Noah stood up and cleared his throat, and everyone became quiet again, wanting to hear Revolutionary Light's work arrangements for the new year.
"Ahem, in the new year, the most important thing we have to do is to formally establish the South China Sea Federation. By then, we will definitely face great pressure. It is impossible for other member states in the world to see such a huge federation established in the South China Sea.
Moreover, the federal laws, policies and ideas are fundamentally different from those of the traditional rulers. Their fear of us will prompt them to take action, not to mention the conflicts of interest.
What's more serious is that during this period, most of us are unable to help directly. The Navy and the World Government will definitely pay attention to such things. If we don't help, we will help the Federation.
So at the moment, only Mr. Fujitora can stand in the foreground, and..."
Following Noah's gaze, everyone looked at the three new recruits in the recruit camp who were listening to the lecture.
The newbies themselves were confused.
"This..." Everyone present was a little hesitant. Isn't it not safe to hand over such a difficult task to a few young people?
"Bonnie and Xiao Feng's strength is already very good in the South China Sea, so everyone should rest assured. Taizog's ability has also reached the level where he can officially participate in the plan. It's time to let them shine."
Bonnie and Xiao Feng, who are fearless, don't think they can bear such a heavy responsibility. This is a critical period for the core of the revolutionary army's future plan. How can it be handed over to just a few people?
Only Taizog was startled at first, and then a surge of ambition ignited. Is this why we were specially asked to come here?
Noah motioned to Taizog to tell him why they were chosen.
“Because we are all new faces, the navy will investigate our past, but what they find out is that our family backgrounds are clean, just like that of Mr. Fujitora. It won’t arouse more vigilance from them for the time being, and it’s only temporary.
When we demonstrate our fighting power, we will face more investigations. I believe that Teacher Noah will prepare everything for us.
Moreover, the South China Sea Federation will need external spokespersons and representatives in the future, and I think it will be the three of us, right? And even though everyone is unable to take action directly, you seniors can still find ways to help indirectly. "
"Very good! The South China Sea Federation plays a very important role, and we cannot stand in the front stage for the time being. Such outstanding young representatives can better demonstrate our vigor and slightly more reckless foreign policy. I believe that the World Government and the member states will understand this."
Finally, the proposal was passed. After thinking about it, everyone decided that there was really no better way and most of those present could not be exposed.
With the strength of Fujitora and his new recruits training camp, they are basically able to sweep across the South China Sea by force, so they can just do some auxiliary work.
After the meeting, the three young men were kept by Noah and the dragon.
Chapter 181: Two Dragons in the Sea
Noah took out a devil fruit from the space. It was in the shape of a gourd with golden patterns on it. It was the Gold-Gold Fruit.
He looked at Taizog, thought for a moment, and threw the fruit over.
Catching it with one hand and looking at the fruit, Taizog felt that he had a strange sense of fate with the fruit in his hand.
"This is the Gold-Gold Fruit. The original plan was to give it to you after you had made some contributions, but now we have to execute a very critical plan, so I will first increase your combat power. By the way, before you eat it, read a copy of The Wealth of Nations and a copy of Monetary Finance."
"Um, will there be any different effects if you read a book before eating the fruit?"
Long, Bonnie, and Xiao Feng all looked at Noah. They were all fruit ability users, but they didn't know there was such a saying. Could it be O'Hara's unique skill?
"No, it's just that the Gold-Gold Fruit is quite special. I don't want you to be devoured by the original sin of capitalism, so I want you to control your mentality before eating it. You are a smart person, you know what I am talking about."
Glancing at the fruit, Tezog stuffed it into his course he knew what Noah was worried about. Not only Noah was worried, but he himself was also worried. When he was in Beihai back then, he had really embarked on that path.
"Okay, the fruit is given to you, don't let us down. If you fail at that time, it won't be so easy to get over it."
"Then can we get some more people from boot camp?"
"It's up to you. The first goal this time is to ensure the establishment of the South Sea Federation, the second is to disguise the relationship with the World Government, and the third is to weaken other member states of the world. You can decide the scale here by yourselves, come on."
After saying that, he let the three people go back.
After leaving the meeting room, the three young men relaxed immediately.
"Those bosses are so bold that they dare to give us this kind of task." Bonnie complained casually. God knows how nervous she was just now. Xiao Feng also nodded.
"What are you thinking about? We have Instructor Fujitora above us, and the bosses of other departments are watching us in the dark. We are more like tools, so don't add drama to yourself. This is more of a chance for Teacher Noah to show us new recruits."
Taizog casually pierced through the false appearance. Not to mention the assistance of so many seniors in secret, Mr. Fujitora alone had basically ensured the safety of the founding ceremony.
