The edge of the deformed island collapsed like a landslide, and the wreckage of the collapsed buildings mixed with red sand flowed into the sea.
The giant warship sailed over. Sakasugi looked up at the rainbow hanging in the sky, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. After a while, he grinned. "Shiki the Golden Lion's doing. This is a declaration of war against the navy!"
Stepping on the island, the ruins of the Naval Branch could no longer be seen. Some broken military uniforms wrapped in broken limbs sunk in the mud. At a glance, it looked like a dazzling display of corpses.
Onigumo pulled out a flag from the ground. The seagull of justice was stained with blood. He waved it twice in his hand, and then threw it back to the ground. "Destroying a Naval Branch base and an island. This news will soon spread throughout the East Sea, and even to the headquarters. By then, Sengoku will have even more reason to support Aokiji!"
"Shiki the Golden Lion's gift is really bad timing!" Weasel's face was cold. "It's a reckless provocation!"
The wreckage of the broken island stuck into the ground was like an upside-down rugged mountain peak. It was covered with colorful ores and some strange plants that were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. A faint smell quietly spread in the air, but it was covered by the surrounding smoke and dust.
"Fei Tian Admiral once attacked and destroyed half of Marin Van Do. Destroying a Naval Branch base is just an appetizer for him. Don't underestimate the madness of this old man who has lived since Roger's era!" The wrinkles on both sides of Sakasugi's nose were sunken, making him look cruel and gloomy. "But at least it proves that Shiki the Golden Lion is hiding in the East Sea!"
"You mean, a Naval Branch is just the beginning?" Dalmatian pulled at the dalmatian hat on his head, and his narrow, shadowy eyes shone with a fierce light.
"The entire East Sea will become a battlefield, or a tomb of the highest standard!" Sakasugi's lips curled into a cruel sneer. "The Navy branches scattered all over the Eastern Sea will be our guide to the Golden Lion Shiki, and when the time comes, they will all be buried with the Golden Lion!"
Sakasugi glanced at the remains of the island without a hint of pity, before looking up at the floating clouds in the sky. "This is the grand funeral the Golden Lion Shiki has prepared for himself," he asserted. "The magnificent knell has been tolled!"
Whether it was a naval grave or a grand funeral, it wasn't clear for the time being, but the horn of war was quietly spreading to the entire East China Sea with the sea breeze.
Four days later, another few Naval Branch were razed to the ground one after another. The ferocity and brutality of the attack immediately made the entire East Sea turn pale at the mention of it. Every Naval Branch was in a state of panic. It was as if there was a cloud of haze swirling above the head of every Naval Branch. No one knew when it would come out of the fallen island and bring about a disaster.
On the turbulent sea, three warships flying the seagull flag left the Naval Branch as if they were fleeing for their lives, drifting aimlessly across the sea.
It was only after they were dozens of miles away that the warships slowed down. Colonel Huki, whose hands were full of golden rings and whose belly was clearly swollen, stared at the hazy sky and wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead.
"Is the base destroyed?" He asked.
"No, it should be a normal dark cloud. It's gone!" The adjutant took off his binoculars and replied to the startled Huki.
"Phew, it's all that lunatic Golden Lion Shiki's fault. He didn't dare to mess with Sakasugi, and instead went around destroying our Naval Branch. Now I don't even dare to stay in the branch, afraid that an island will suddenly fall from the sky and smash me into a pulp." Huki's expression eased a little as he cursed.
"Should we turn back?" The adjutant looked down at the sea. The ship's hull was very deep in the water, but the number of soldiers on the three warships was less than one-fifth of the total number of soldiers in the branch. The rest of the soldiers were still in the branch base waiting for death. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
Most of the places where the soldiers rested were filled with tightly sealed boxes. Now, Huki had plundered a lot of wealth in the past few years. Especially after joining the Marine Club, the quarterly bonus was very generous, and in his eyes, these things were much more important than the lives of his soldiers.
Csónitz looked at the several soldiers behind him who finished counting the goods on the ship, then put away the record book and turned to the deck. After joining the 195 branch, with his ability and meritorious service of eliminating several pirates, as well as his outstanding performance in helping Huki accumulate wealth, he was promoted to Huki's confidant. His military rank was promoted from ordinary soldier to lieutenant colonel, and he had a very high prestige among the officers and soldiers.
"Turn back? Are you kidding me? " Huki hurriedly waved his hand and said with lingering fear: "This is just a false alarm. It doesn't mean we will be so lucky every time. Not only will we not turn back, but we will also have to escape even further to be safe!"
"So are we going to meet up with the Marine Club?" The adjutant glanced at Csónitz who was approaching from behind and continued to ask.
Huki licked his lips with a sarcastic look on his face: "The successor of Navy Branch 153, Chi Yeben and Yarlin, are both greedy and ambitious people. Also, I don't know what kind of madness Crowe has, but he actually helped Chi Yeben contact every captain in the club, trying to integrate the power of the East Blue to show their loyalty to Sakasky!"
"The entire East Blue is about to fall into war. Others can't hide even if they want to, but 153 Branch wants to drag the entire club into the war. If they want to show their faces in front of Sakasky, they have to have the ability to fight for their lives!" Huki spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and said: "Sakasky didn't force the East Blue branches because he knows the quality of the East Blue Navy. It's okay to clean up small pirates, but to go to war with legendary pirates is suicide!"
"Destroying Golden Lion and saving East Blue is the duty of an Admiral. We are just Marine minions. It's wise to do everything we can to save our own lives!" Huki's mouth was like a machine gun.
He turned to look at Csónitz and said: "Is everything accounted for?"
"No, Captain Huki's wealth has been transported to the Warship. Nothing is left behind." Csónitz smiled: "Then if we don't go back now, we won't go to the Marine Club. Where should we go? Captain Huki! "
