Chapter 1040: Battle of the Golden Sea

The peace of the Golden Sea is gone forever.

Following the World Government's public announcement, a large number of civilians began to leave Gaya Island.

We have to admit that the World Government is still very intimidating among the people.

Some insightful small and medium-sized forces also began to leave.

Once war breaks out, it will be a question whether we can salvage gold safely.

It will also be targeted by the navy, and then the loss will outweigh the gain.

Faced with war, many people feel fear in their hearts and try to avoid it.

Wealth is far less important than your own life.

Quit while you're ahead. Although it's only been a few months, the gains are enough.

Some people who arrived late lamented why they couldn't come earlier.

This kind of thing is unpredictable. Who knows how the situation on Gaya Island will develop.

They were the first group of people to try something new, so even if they left now, they would have returned with a full load and gained a lot.

Then the war broke out, and it was no longer so easy to mine gold.

Even the dumbest person knows that the gold belongs to you only if you can take it out of Gaya Island.

What’s the point of digging up more gold if we can’t bring Gaya Island to our territory?

Even if you store the gold in the Dark Bank, if you lose your life, the gold will naturally belong to the Dark Bank.

In the dark bank, there is no inheritance system. Everything is based on credentials and pre-set passwords or special instructions.

When facing death, some people would rather let their gold remain dormant in a dark bank forever than hand it over.

Once you hand over the gold, there is a high probability that you will die.

In Gaya Island, Dark Bank is also one of the biggest winners.

The many big pirates did not stop these forces and civilians from leaving.

What follows is a war between pirates and the navy, which has nothing to do with them.

Even if we stay on Gaya Island, it would just be a waste of food.

Especially the civilians, they can't play any role at all.

Now that the order has been established, it is up to us to stay or leave.

"Leave, and come back when the war is over."

Watching the changes in the situation in the Golden Sea, Hades smiled. Everything was developing step by step as he expected.

After all, the Kingdom of Chronos is a member of the World Government. Once the war begins, they can no longer continue to salvage gold in the Golden Sea.

The battlefield is so small that it is impossible to live in peace. It is better to leave directly.

Anyway, the gains during this period are about the same.

I'll come back if I have the chance.

As soon as the World Government sent out the message, the warships of the Chronos Kingdom turned around and left the Golden Sea and returned to the Chronos Kingdom.

During this period, the Kingdom of Chronos gained more than just gold.

There are also various salvage props for sale.

With the outbreak of war, the consumption of ships and warships will be very serious, whether it is pirates or the navy.

In terms of the expenditure of money, the Battle of Gaya Island was more bloody than the Battle of Blood.

In a naval battle, if you are not careful, a warship may sink into the sea.

When the war really breaks out, we will definitely lose several warships and some pirate ships a day.

In this way, won’t the orders come?

Besides, the Kingdom of Chronos is the military leader of the entire ocean.

The consumption of arms on Gaya Island and the circulation of various materials basically have to pass through the underground world, or the Kingdom of Chronos.

The costs of long-distance transportation are huge.

All of this is huge profit.

The people of Gaya Island were tied into a rope, and a long war ensued.

Most of those who left were ordinary civilians, and of course some small and medium-sized forces also left.

More forces are willing to take advantage of the situation and only leave some people alone.

The remaining members stayed on Gaya Island, looking for opportunities to continue salvaging gold.

The gold obtained is directly sent remotely to all parts of the world through dark banks.

It is impossible to let them give up easily.

Human nature is always greedy.

Especially for those forces, even if the entire army is wiped out, it is just the loss of some manpower and the sacrifice of some cannon fodder.

Besides, there is an opportunity to leave Gaya Island at any time.

The submarine of "Shipping King" Umit is ready.

Even if Gaya Island was blocked, they could leave at any time via Umit's submarine.

The boat ticket is a bit expensive.

By the time the lockdown came, the price was at least five times higher than before.

As more and more people leave, the population of Gaya Island is decreasing sharply. This is inevitable.

However, even so, after seven days, there were still 70,000 to 80,000 people on Gaya Island.

Most of them were pirates, and their greed prevented them from leaving at the first opportunity.

Once the navy surrounds the Golden Sea, it will be difficult for these pirates to leave even if they want to.

Faced with the war launched by the navy, with the alliance of many big pirates, they had no choice but to take up arms to fight against the navy.

The navy's operations were highly efficient.

Three admiral candidates each led a naval fleet of 5,000.

Six vice admirals of the headquarters each led a thousand marines.

Starting from the seventh day, more than 20,000 troops and dozens of naval warships began to roam in the waters of Gaya Island.

Any salvage ship or pirate ship on the sea will be bombarded by naval warships.

This is several times more powerful than the Demon Slayer Order.

However, the navy's extremely domineering attitude did not scare the pirates of Gaya Island.

Faced with the navy's strength, they directly took up their butcher knives and killed the naval warships.

The war broke out and it was more intense than imagined.

Faced with the counterattack of many pirates on Gaya Island, the entire Golden Navy had to fight back.

There is no escape from this.

There are too many monsters on Gaya Island that have the ability to fly.

If the naval warships are destroyed specifically, even the navy will be helpless.

Borsalino vs. Goenitz.

Kuzan versus "Firebane" Jhin.

Sakaski vs Katakuri.

The other naval commanders each had their own opponents.

The navy does have a weakness, which is the insufficient number of mid- and high-end combat capabilities.

The headquarters' vice admiral alone is not enough to fight against the pirates of Gaya Island.

The number is too small, and there is a lack of elite lieutenant generals and quasi-general-level strongmen.

The navy's combat capability is seriously interrupted.

Apart from the general candidates, the only ones who can be used are Kyle, Cyric, and Mole.

Although there are some outstanding generals, they still need time to grow.

Places like Gion and Kake need more experience.

There was no way Xirik could be sent out.

Kyle has a different identity and works more at Marijoa.

If anything went wrong, they couldn't imagine the consequences.

On the surface, the current navy is very powerful, with many top combat forces.

However, the gap in combat power meant that they did not have much advantage in this war.

It seems that the navy has only sent three admiral candidates, but what about the mid- and high-end combat capabilities?

Except for the necessary personnel to guard the various fortresses, it can be said that all of them were sent to Gaya Island.

You know, this is only part of the power of the New World pirates.

The six sea emperors only sent out one core cadre, plus the forces of other big pirates in the New World, the navy would need to send out half of its top combat forces and most of its mid-to-high-end combat forces to cope with it.
