Active or passive, that is the question, but for Porusalino——

"Don't worry, let's take a look at the situation first..."

That's right, just like when facing Ben Beckman's musket, the first reaction was to activate the ability of "The Human Fruit Phantom Beast French Form" and choose to raise his hands to show weakness instead of fighting back, the word "caution"

Always one of the first in the Polusalino code of conduct.

Not to mention the two main targets that the navy will face this time - Monkey D. Long, the natural "Wind Wind Fruit" power user, and Douglas Barrett, the superhuman "Fusion Fruit" power user.

It is the type that has powerful AOE skills, and its destructive power will be extremely amplified in a big war...

"Then let me go and squint for a while first?"

Kuzan yawned sleepily, "Call me when you need it, Senior Porusalino..."

"Then I actually need you now~"

Porusalino narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"ha?"

"Although it is said to be observed for a while, it is impossible to just watch, right? So, the old rules, control the field well, Kuzan~"

"...There's really nothing we can do."

Kuzan, whose tone was full of helplessness, shrugged his shoulders, but jumped to the sea outside the ship's side without any hesitation.

"ice age——!

!”

…

Due to its vast territory, rich resources, and strong military strength, the Clifford Kingdom is actually the same as the feudal dynasty of Great Xia before Porusalino crossed over. The princes all have their own fiefdoms, and they usually have their own fiefdoms.

They all stayed in the fiefdom - in fact, if it weren't for the fact that the old king was seriously ill and the princes were coveting the throne, they would not have gathered in the royal capital some time ago. There was no freedom of their own fiefdom there.

As for Hyde Port, as the largest port in Clifford's Kingdom, it was naturally the fiefdom of the old king's youngest son, the fifth prince.

"What are the Navy and the World Government thinking?! There are nearly 500,000 people in Hyde Port!"

In the luxurious manor on the west side of Hyde Port, the fifth prince Benson, who was tall, nearly two meters tall, handsome and majestic, with a cross sword inlaid with gems hanging from his waist, was shocked and angry - although he came from Douglas

·Barrett's strong support caused turmoil in his previous royal capital

He did not lose to the third prince who had the support of the Revolutionary Army, but after all, he had no other powerful trump card except Douglas Barrett, so he could only temporarily return to his own after helping the latter loot the arsenal in the royal capital.

The territory was in a stalemate with the third prince, trying to wait for a turn in his favor.

By the way, there are two main reasons why men like Douglas Barrett appeared in Clifford Kingdom and participated in the princes' fight for the throne:

First, as an ally of Barrett's former hometown of Goldsburg (also known as the "Endless War Country"), the Clifford Kingdom once became Douglas Barrett's overseas territory when he was still a young soldier.

Mercenary battlefield - it was here that he gradually became stronger and obtained the superhuman "fusion fruit". Compared to other places in the world, he was relatively familiar with this place.

Second, as a military power in the New World, the Clifford Kingdom has one of the top five arsenals in the world. The former king is a recognized weapons smuggling giant in the New World - Douglas who ate the superhuman "fusion fruit".

Barrett can enhance his combat effectiveness by combining with various weapons, and Clifford's Kingdom, where an average of twelve people owns one gun, is undoubtedly a geomantic treasure for him to become stronger.

According to Douglas Barrett's original plan, after the third prince he supported became king, he could make full use of the country's weapons output, thereby making himself stronger every day.

However, the arrival of the revolutionary army disrupted his and the third prince's original plan. The arrival of the navy's demon-slaying fleet reported by the guards seemed to put their plan directly into bankruptcy...

so--

"Hmph, it seems that your fate has been decided. You are destined not to be the king, Benson..."

Opposite the fifth prince Benson, a soldier who was unusually burly and nearly five meters tall stood up slowly with a smile on his face. The military uniform on this man's body was stained, but it was covered with medals and medals. He had "

Douglas Barrett, the "Heir of the Ghost"!

"What did you say?!"

Benson, who was originally dissatisfied with Douglas Barrett because he failed to allow him to ascend the throne smoothly and had to help him rob the arsenal, was a little dissatisfied with him. Under Barrett's sarcasm, Benson

Completely forgetting what kind of monster the other party was, he stood up from his seat and asked angrily.

"Isn't it?"

Douglas Barrett sneered and asked, "Even a pirate like me can see clearly that although your Clifford Kingdom is a member of the World Government, it has long made the top leaders of the World Government very dissatisfied...

...Although your dead father had a shiny green head, he was still smart and capable. In the early years, you

When the country was not so strong, he quickly hugged the thigh of the World Government to prevent the kingdom from being torn apart by pirates like hungry wolves in the New World; and when your country became strong, he began to lead the kingdom gradually

He has been alienated from the World Government, and secretly has been dealing with the neighboring Whitebeard Pirates..."

"..."

"Although your father is very secretive, he doesn't think that the all-pervasive government lackeys CP can't find out, right? Before he died, it was difficult for the world government to break up. But now that he is dead, there are only

A few of you losers are vying for the throne, and the government’s most serious troubles, myself and the revolutionary army, have appeared here again..."

"This is a perfect opportunity for the World Government to get multiple benefits with one stone! Hahahaha! The World Government can not only shuffle your Clifford Kingdom and support completely obedient puppets, but it can also clean up people like me and the Revolutionary Army.

The enemy, once again demonstrates strength and majesty..."

"As for the opinions of Clifford Kingdom and your lives, I'm sorry, who do you think they are?"

Although he looks like a brainless muscleman, Douglas Barrett actually has a very thorough understanding of the Navy's demon-slaying operation. This thoroughness is partly due to what he has suffered.

On the other hand, the lesson of being betrayed also comes from the influence of Rayleigh and other extremely resourceful bosses when he was in the Roger Pirates.

"you……!"

In response to Douglas Barrett's remarks, the fifth prince Benson's face turned blue and purple with anger, but in the end he had no words to refute. He could only say fiercely, "Don't be alarmist. The Navy's demon-slaying fleet is coming to our Klee."

The biggest purpose of the Ford Kingdom is probably just to eliminate the revolutionary army! And then there is you, the remnant of the Roger Pirates! As long as I hand you over and cooperate..."

"Just what?"

"As long as I hand you over...ah——!

!”

The fifth prince Benson was forever speechless, because his head had been crushed by the sinking Douglas Barrett - the difference in size and strength between the two sides made his head like a fish in the opponent's hands.

Pills are generally tiny and fragile.

"It's so stupid and disgusting..."

"The navy's Demon-Slaying Order fleet? Just come!"

Douglas Barrett smiled ferociously, and his body suddenly shot out like a cannonball, blasting through the roof, carrying smoke, dust and airflow, heading straight towards the sea frozen by Kuzan!

"The sea is a cruel battlefield, and I am the new and strongest existence on this battlefield!

!”

…

Ten minutes after Kuzan completely froze the sea area where Hyde Port is located, he saw that Sakaski next to him was a little helpless. He had changed from smoking cigars to smoking lava. Porusalino was

Then he slowly said:

"Okay, it's almost time to activate the demon-slaying order."

"..."

Sakaski nodded slightly and dialed the golden telephone bug symbolizing the activation of the Demon-Slaying Order with an expressionless face. Immediately, a sharp "warning!" alarm sounded on every warship in the Demon-Slaying Order fleet.

"Very good! Air combat troops, dispatch!"

roar--!

!

roar--!

!

roar--!

!

As Porusalino's order was issued, countless black shadows soon flew out from the decks of five warships at the back. If you look closely, you can see a huge eagle, an ancient pterosaur, and a large beetle with wings.

...The number is at least thousands.

But without exception, these "creatures" are all shining with the unique luster of metal, and their bodies are covered with artillery. Yes, although they can move their eyes and even make screams or strange roars, none of them can

They are living creatures. They are all similar war weapons created by Dr. Vegapunk after studying the Steel Seadramon temporarily lent to him by Porusalino. They are also the new weapons that the World Government wants to test this time.

arms!

To be honest, Dr. Vegapunk, who studied under the lunar man Dr. Tsukimi, has actually mastered the technology of mechanized transformation of living things for a long time. However, he has always felt that this kind of transformation is too low-level and not worth investing in.

project - until he saw Steel Seadramon, which represents the highly mechanized transformation product of the Digimon world, his interest was rekindled.

However, due to some technical and material limitations in the pirate world, the flying war weapons he currently manufactures are almost at the level that the Navy Headquarters officers can handle.

But even so, these things are powerful enough in the current battlefield. The Five Old Stars asked him to make a lot of them for testing - not to mention anything else, just the sound they made when they were dispatched collectively was far away.

It could be heard miles away in Hydeport.
