Chapter 545 Dealing with the x Gift

Back on the warship, Vice Admiral Chaton knelt on the deck and pounded the ground: "Damn it! Damn it! I'm too weak! It's all my fault. I failed to protect Gion!"

"What right do I have to like Gion-chan!"

Ignoring Vice Admiral Chatun's crying and wailing, the other vice admirals began to command the remaining navy to rescue their comrades who had fallen into the water and treat the wounded.

At the same time, Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel took out his [Den Den Mushi] and began to report the situation here.

Navy Headquarters, [Marinford], Marshal's Office.

Marshal Zhan Guo pressed his throbbing eyebrows and murmured, "Is it because I'm too tired recently? I always have a bad premonition!"

Blue ~ Blue ~

The sudden ringing of Den Den Mushi gave Zhan Guo Meng a startle.

As soon as I picked up the phone, a deep voice came from the other end of the receiver: "Marshal Zhan Guo, the [South China Sea Coalition] has failed!"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo's face immediately turned gloomy.

Although it had been expected, when the time really came, it would be a lie for Zhan Guo to say that he didn't feel uncomfortable.

He adjusted his mood slightly and was about to speak when he heard Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel continue to report: "The navy suffered heavy losses... 5612 warships were lost, and soldiers were killed..."

Listening to these numbers, Zhan Guo's eyes turned red, his breathing gradually became heavy, and his heart seemed to be bleeding.

You have to know that the navy today is not what it used to be. After many battles with the [Kingdom of the Netherlands], the middle and lower-level forces of the navy are declining rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is not over yet.

Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel hesitated slightly and said, "Lieutenant General Taotu... unfortunately... was captured!"

"What!" Marshal Zhan Guo's eyes widened and he stood up immediately.

He confirmed again in disbelief: "Are you serious..."

"Yes!" Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel responded heavily, and then reported the entire incident in detail to Marshal Warring States.

Zhan Guo was silent for a long time, then sighed heavily: "Ah... I know... I will send support as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Zhan Guo stared at the receiver, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Alas... Why did things come to this point..."

Because of the [Kingdom of the Netherlands].

Zhan Guo wanted to blame everything on the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but unfortunately he couldn't deceive himself.

Whether it is the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] or the great pirate era opened by Roger, they are only a small part of the reasons.

The root cause is... [World Government] or maybe this world is rotten...

The hole in the world is too big to be patched up by the navy alone.

Thinking of this, Zhan Guo suddenly felt exhausted.

"The justice that rules the world..." Zhan Guo shook his head with a wry smile.

He shook his head, forcing himself not to think about these bad things.

As long as he remains as Admiral of the Navy, he will do what he can.

As if he had figured something out, Zhan Guo's eyes gradually became firm.

He picked up the Den Den Mushi again and said a few words to the other end of the receiver.

The Navy Headquarters held another high-level meeting.

Walking into the conference hall and looking at the gradually decreasing number of naval generals, Zhan Guo felt more and more melancholy.

Controlling his emotions, Zhan Guo used concise language to describe the situation of the [South China Sea Coalition].

The Navy's defeat again made everyone present look unhappy.

Especially after hearing that Vice Admiral Momosaki was captured, everyone showed an expression of disbelief on their faces.

They suppressed their emotions, clenched their fists, and listened carefully.

When Staff Officer Tsuru learned that Gion had been captured, worry appeared in his eyes, but he controlled his emotions very well and no one noticed anything unusual.

After informing everyone of the basic situation, Zhan Guo began to arrange personnel to go to the South China Sea for support.

Staff Officer He volunteered.

Seeing this, all the senior naval officers had no objections.

When Vice Admiral Taotu was in danger, Chief of Staff Crane should go there for both moral and logical reasons, and no one was surprised by this decision.

The matter was quickly settled, with Chief of Staff Crane and two other vice admirals leading 15 warships to the South China Sea for support.

The Navy's next strategy in the South China Sea will focus on preserving the Navy's manpower.

the other side.

After defeating the South Sea Coalition, the Dutch Navy headed straight for the Kingdom of Solby.

The [Kingdom of Solbe] threw itself directly into the arms of the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] without any struggle.

The next step is to sort out, identify and migrate the population of the Kingdom of Solbe.

The [Kingdom of Solbe] has a population of only 500,000 to 600,000 people, and the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] can digest and absorb it in just a few days.

The news of the failure of the [South China Sea Coalition] was like a hurricane, sweeping across the entire [South China Sea] in the blink of an eye.

Countries in the South China Sea that have not yet fallen are in a state of panic.

[Kingdom of the Netherlands].

Caught off guard, Xia Jieren was forcefully pulled into the [Heart Net] by Kerrigan.

Looking at the familiar palace, Xia Jieren was confused: "Kerrigan, what do you want from me?"

"Hmph! Now that you have a new love, you forget about the old one! You're a scumbag!" Kerrigan said dissatisfiedly.

Hearing this, Xia Jieren felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained: "Hey~, isn't Hancock going back in a few days?"

"Humph!" Kerrigan still didn't give him a good look: "According to Hancock's personality, she will come running here in a few days!"

Xia Jieren thought about it carefully, well, he couldn't find any words to refute it.

Seeing that the topic was going off topic, Xia Jieren got back to the point: "You haven't told me what you want to talk to me about. Are you missing me? That doesn't make sense. I spend most of the second half of every night in [Heart Network]."

Kerrigan chuckled and said, "I have a surprise for you!"

"What surprise?" Xia Jieren was a little expectant.

"You'll be able to see it in two hours!" Kerrigan kept it a secret.

Xia Jieren felt like he was being tormented by a hundred claws. He rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "In that case, you might as well tell me if you are surprised."

"Isn't this torture?"

After complaining a few words, Xia Jieren and Kerrigan waited quietly.

Two hours later.

"Master, the gift has been delivered, please move to the bedroom!"

"You have to go alone~"

Finally, Kerrigan said meaningfully.

"What kind of gift is this, mysterious?"

At this time, Xia Jieren's curiosity was also aroused.

He opened his eyes, said a few words to Hancock and others, then walked into the bedroom.

Not long after, Xia Jieren slowly pushed open the bedroom door.

I saw a huge box placed in the middle of the spacious room.

"[Devil Fruit]? Or gold and silver treasures?"
