Chapter 698: Rest (Part 1)

The navy temporarily withdrew its troops. After a day of fighting, the navy did not get any benefits, and it also lost a lot of manpower. Knowing that this battle would not be over in a day or two, it had no choice but to announce its withdrawal. The entire After the fleet retreated eight nautical miles, both sides stopped with a tacit understanding.

"How's the situation?"

Sengoku asked, looking at Zefa and Garp.

"It's not good. The other party has obviously seen our plan a long time ago. All the arrangements have been prepared in advance. Apart from anything else, if Kuzan hadn't taken out his hand to help many times, I'm afraid the result would definitely not be the same. It’s nice to see that Jhin from Hundred Beasts is too restrained against Kuzan.”

Garp shook his head and said, he was not being alarmist, what he said was true. Kuzan's physical skills were not too bad, but they were somewhat insignificant compared to the Lunaria clan who were born to be the darlings of the world. Moreover, the opponent's fruit ability completely ignores Kuzan's ability. At least before Kuzan's fruit awakens, it will be difficult to regain control of the ice from Jhin.

"How is Kuzan's current situation? Can he continue to fight?"

Zefa asked worriedly, which of these students was not his treasure.

"There is no problem for the time being, but this won't work. We are being completely targeted. If we don't change our strategy, we will definitely lose this war."

Warring States said very helplessly, he felt as if he was being severely targeted. He was known as a wise general. Logically speaking, on such a battlefield, he should be the most suitable for his performance. However, the result was exactly the opposite. His plan was completely blocked by the opponent. The group knew about it and used the simplest and most humiliating pairing tactic to settle the matter.

"That's right, those pirates didn't even send more people to attack, they just simply relied on pairing up to make us helpless."

"Zefa, what's the situation over there? I know Dai from the Beasts is also there. What's the situation like at Sakaski?"

"It's stronger than Kuzan's, at least it can fight a dozen, but the problem is still the same. The fruit's ability is too restrained. Although Sakaski's lava is powerful, the opponent is born with the power of fire, plus There is a huge gap in the power of the phantom beasts, and Sakaski has tried his best.”

"Indeed, damn it, where did these guys get these top-notch phantom devil fruits? Why have we never found them?"

The Warring States people sat down helplessly. Even Garp no longer had the desire to eat donuts at this moment. This battle was really too frustrating. It was obvious that their strength was not much better than that of their opponent, but It is because of the restraint relationship between a few fruits that they were suppressed as a whole.

"Then there is the opponent's command system. This is also a big problem. When I was fighting with Auntie, I didn't see any command actions from Auntie, but the enemies on my side of the battlefield have been proceeding in an orderly manner. What about you, Garp? ?”

"Absolutely. Although the fight between me and the old guy Whitebeard was a bit fierce, so the battle line was not too open, but generally speaking, Whitebeard did not give any orders, and the Yonko had no command at all."

"It's not that there is no command, but another way of command. It's not a phone bug, but an order is given through an unknown object. It's not clear who gave the order."

Warring States said, and took out a photo. The photo was not very clear, but you could see a person with his mouth wide open, shouting something into a square box.

"What is this?"

Garp and Zefa looked at the photos and frowned at the same time and said, all along, battlefield communications have been using phone bugs, and the Navy has an eavesdropping team second only to the CP organization, let alone ordinary phone bugs. Even the phone bugs who have a single line of communication, although they don't know what was said, can still know that the other party sent the message and where it was sent to. But now, the more than forty eavesdropping phone bugs have heard nothing.

"I don't know. It was discovered by Porusalino. Even this photo was taken by Porusalino after squatting all afternoon. It's a pity that he didn't get one to study it."

Warring States sat on the chair and said helplessly.

"This situation is really a headache. Let's do this. Let's not carry out this kind of scattered attack tomorrow. Let's just gather our strength and rush up from the front. Seize a landing point as quickly as possible. At the same time, when we rush up, let the people behind Don't worry about anything. Bring back all the things you haven't seen before and do some research. Killing is no longer the main purpose of this war. What we need now is to understand how far the four emperors have developed. "

Zefa slapped the table and pointed at the criss-crossed map.

"Indeed, Zefa is right. What is that sentence called? Oh, yes, knowing yourself and your enemy will lead to victory in any battle, right? We know too little about the Four Emperors now. The other party must have been preparing for this battle for a long time. I We must not be impatient. This battle is not the kind of battle that we just need to fight through in the past. We will not see any results for ten days and a half. We must be patient. By the way, don’t forget to ask Heduo to provide more. If some supplies come over, this may become a war of attrition.”

Garp covered his head and sat down. This kind of fighting method was not what he liked, but as a vice admiral and a senior leader of the navy at this stage, Garp also knew that this was not something he could choose, no matter how hard he didn't If you are willing, you must be prepared for a tug-of-war.

"Hey, Zephyr, please inform Crane about this matter. It is true that I was naive this time. I thought it would end within two days at the beginning. Alas, I thought it was too easy this time."

"You don't think it's easy. You feel that this battle itself is just a formality. You feel that this is another way for the pirates to give the World Government a way out. Unexpectedly, the pirates really want to fight this battle. Am I right?"

Garp looked around and found a bag of senbei from somewhere. He ate while talking, and did not forget to give two senbei to Zephyr beside him.

"Alas, I can't hide it from you. Indeed, I just wanted to make a show and end it at the beginning. To be honest, if I were not a navy, I would definitely applaud the Four Emperors' approach to this matter, and I might even help. I didn't even want to start a war at the beginning."

Zhan Guo said to his old friend without any scruples. If there were other people here, such words would not come out of Zhan Guo's mouth, but who let Zephyr and Garp be here?

"Who said it wasn't? Although it doesn't stop me from wanting to beat Kaido up."

Zeffer felt the same way. Not killing the admiral, this nickname already reflected Zefa's inner insistence on justice. He was willing to kill even the pirates, not to mention those who were sold as slaves. If he wasn't afraid of being involved too deeply, he himself would have hoped to be one of the people who rescued the slaves that night.

"I'm afraid your idea can't be realized. According to the order of the Five Elders, Kaido and Rose Lily are the targets of the Five Elders. Apart from these two people, the Five Elders will not take action."

Zengoku shook his head and told Zefa a bad news.

"What's going on? What's wrong with the Five Elders?"

Garp sat up suddenly and looked at Sengoku strangely. Even if the Five Elders didn't intend to take action, Garp wouldn't be shocked, but it was a bit strange that they only took action against two people by name.

"I don't know. Who can guess what they are thinking? Anyway, you just need to know this. Report to Kaido and Rose Lily immediately after you meet them. No matter what, the Five Elders can help us solve some problems after they take action."

Zengoku shook his head. He didn't understand what the Five Elders were thinking.

"Okay, you guys chat. I'll go check on the wounded."

Zeff took the last senbei in Garp's hand and threw it to Warring States before going out. Warring States looked at the senbei in his hand and felt a little familiar.

"Garp! You old man stole my senbei again!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Obviously Zephyr ate it too! Why didn't you look for him! Oh my! Are you serious!"
