Chapter 43 The Prelude to the Storm

New World, Golden Lion Base Camp.

The backyard and attic of the Ante Island Palace.

In the past few days, Rex used the power of his fruit to travel through different dimensions and contacted many pirates, informing them that a war was about to begin.

For those pirates or forces that Lex did not know, or was not very familiar with, Golden Lion flew there personally to inform them.

"Hahahahaha, that little girl Lingling refused to obey, but after I gave her a lesson, she became obedient."

At this time, the Golden Lion was bragging to the Red Earl beside him, talking about his glorious record of bullying the beautiful girl Lingling.

"..."

The Red Earl pretended not to hear and continued to drink the Grachi red wine in his goblet, chatting with Rhine beside him.

As the youngest here, Lex naturally had to smooth things over.

"Hmm hahaha, so did Big Mom agree to go out and take out the Marine branch in the New World?"

"Hahahaha, how could she dare not agree with me?"

"Uh-huh, that's good."

"Pe~Okay!"

Pepe sat there in a daze. This was a top-level meeting and Pierre Croix was not qualified to be present. Pepe could only drink the juice given by Lex in a daze.

The only ones present were Lex, Golden Lion, Red Earl, Whitebeard, Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, Shanuo (Swordsman), Roy (Dream Maker), Rhine, Gut, Lily, and Pepe.

Representing the top combat forces in this ocean!

"Okay, everyone. Next, let me briefly talk about the general battle plan!"

Lex started talking about business, and everyone else's eyes were focused on Lex.

"Our ultimate goal this time is to shock the World Government and bring free development space to the New World. It is also for me to completely unify the underground world and start the first ten-year plan!"

Everyone present knew Lex's 'Ten-Year Plan', so Lex had nothing to hide.

"And to celebrate your departure to sea!"

Roy looked at Lex with a smile, reminding his younger brother.

Of course, it is the responsibility of the two elder brothers, Shanuo and Roy, to create a grand ceremony for their younger brother's voyage.

"Yeah, hahahaha, second brother is right, that's one aspect of it."

Lex grinned.

"So, in order to accomplish the above goals, we have gathered a lot of manpower."

"Including uncle, master, dad, big brother Xia Nuo and second brother Roy, old man Silver Axe, uncle Wang Zhi, and the pirate group under his command."

Lex named the leaders of the major forces one by one.

"In addition, we have also contacted other pirates in the New World, including Charlotte Linlin, who are responsible for cleaning up the Navy branch in the New World!"

Although Rex said "clean up", when the real war breaks out, BIG MOM and other vicious pirates will inevitably cause rivers of blood and thousands of floating corpses!

But Lex didn't care. Although the main purpose was to deter others, many navy men would have to die in the New World, otherwise how could the world be ruled by pirates!

"I, my uncle, my master, Uncle Rhine and the others, Brother Xia Nuo, and Brother Roy, those with greater mobility will be in charge of the main battlefield in Mary Geoise!"

Lex paused and continued.

"Dad, old man Silver Axe, and Uncle Wang Zhi just need to be responsible for suppressing the navy in Marinford. By then, Garp will be entangled with Uncle Roger in other places, and Zephyr should also be on a mission outside. There will only be Cyborg Sora, Sengoku, and a group of naval generals in Marinford, so the pressure is not that great."

“Kulalala, just leave it to me!”

Whitebeard smiled confidently. Although Whitebeard's sons were still too young, Whitebeard was at his peak!

With a white beard everything is okay!

“Buhahaha, leave it to me.”

Silver Axe smiled innocently.

"Yeah, no problem."

Wang Zhi also responded.

"The point is the battlefield in Marijoa. I haven't hidden anything. Everyone knows that I have some Celestial Dragon blood."

Seeing that no one commented, Lex didn't hesitate and continued.

"So I know very well that Marijoa is not as weak as she looks on the surface. Three of the Five Elders are top fighters. Although the commander-in-chief of the army, Fate, is old, he is still capable of fighting. CP is even more of an unknown factor. The most important thing is the Knights of God!"

"Most of you present have participated in the Battle of God Valley, and you all know that the Celestial Dragons are not as weak as they appear, and we are under great pressure."

Lex narrowed his eyes, and his blue eyes revealed a dangerous light.

"But it doesn't matter, we are on a surprise attack!"

"At least the two generals of the army and the marshal of the air force, these three top fighters will not be able to make it in time. I will choose the moment when Mary Geoise changes defense to launch the attack."

"And you guys just need to scout for me. I don't really want to kill many people. This time, there is only one person I want to focus on, the highest commander of CP, Zero!"

Lex's launching of this war was equivalent to directly breaking off relations with Mary Joa.

With such a huge cost, there must naturally be more benefits.

After killing Zero and eliminating all the high-level combat forces of CP, a huge gap occurred in CP.

Enelu and other undercover agents will receive greater training, and Enelu will definitely be the 'strongest shield' in the future, laying the groundwork for a truly huge war in the future!

"Lex, where's the garden?"

The Red Count suddenly asked.

"Hahaha, Master, don't worry. After this war, not only will the World Government not dare to target Gion, but it will allow her to be promoted rapidly until she reaches the rank of General!"

Lex thought of something and smiled.

The Five Elders made the decision to make Gion a Celestial Dragon, something even Lex himself had not expected.

Lex no longer had any last worries.

Next, it's total war!

............

As secret orders were continuously issued, the entire new world seemed to suddenly become silent!

The New World pirates, who were usually in constant chaos and riots, had been quiet in the past few days, and the entire New World had fallen into an eerie calm.

Before a tsunami strikes, the sea level will suddenly drop.

When a storm hits, there is always a dead silence.

An ordinary island in the New World.

"Hey, have you heard? It seems like war is going to break out again in the New World!"

A passer-by was chatting with another passer-by in the pub.

"What? Don't pirates fight each other every day?"

Another passerby didn't care.

"This time it's different! I heard that almost all the pirates have secretly gathered their subordinates back to their base!"

"If it's a secret, how did you know it? Are you bragging?"

The other man looked at his friend in confusion.

"Ha, you don't know this, my cousin is a junior officer of the Phantom Sword Pirates!"

In the New World, having a relative working for a big pirate is more useful than having a relative in the navy!

This world is so sick!

Pirates are the mainstream, and darkness has long shrouded this sea.

"!!! That 'Dream Maker' Roy's Phantom Sword Pirates?!!"

Another passerby opened his mouth in surprise, and this attitude made that passerby very satisfied.

"Yeah, I didn't believe it at first, but my cousin suddenly wrote to me and told me to stay out of the house and not hang around the naval base. It's very dangerous!"

"!! Could it be that the 'Dream Maker' Roy is going to take action against the navy? Didn't he just massacre a naval branch a few days ago?"

Another passerby was confused and surprised, today he got a shocking news!

"It's not just Lord Roy! Anyway, be careful. The New World is going to be in turmoil again."

Although the New World has never been peaceful, this time, it always reveals a sense of impending storm!

At the wine table next to the two passers-by who were talking, a blind young man, wearing wooden clogs and a purple kimono, heard the entire conversation between the two.

His name is Yixiao (Yisheng), a ruthless man who blinded himself because he could not stand the evil in the world. He is also a powerful swordsman!

This is not the first time Yixiao has heard such a conversation in the past few days. Such discussions can be heard everywhere on almost every island in the New World and even on the entire Grand Route.

It seems like everyone knows that a war is about to break out among the pirates. Are they fighting each other?

Or attack the navy?

No one is sure.

But what everyone subconsciously overlooked was, Marijoa!

The holy land of the Celestial Dragons that towers above the world! The Realm of God!
