Chapter 550 The Most Expensive Hope(1/2)

"Damn it! Why do these pirates run away as soon as they see us?! They have no courage at all!"

In the new world, on the warship of the Spades detachment, Yamato waved the mace in his hand angrily, very dissatisfied. Ace looked at the pirate group in the distance and said helplessly:

"Ever since we entered the new world, they have been on alert. Even if their speed is not as fast as ours, there is nothing we can do as long as we are discovered early enough."

Ace sighed. If they really wanted to chase them, they could catch up with them if they took some time, but they couldn't just leave the island in front of them and the people on the island and chase the pirates, right?

Bonny, who was sitting on the fence, said very relaxedly: "They can't get in anyway from the Wanguo side. Then they will all surround Dressrosa. Colonel Rosinandi is there, and all the information will be there."

Under the control of our navy.

Moreover, it is such a big place, so the pirates will definitely have to fight internally to get a living space. When the time comes, when our navy advances all the way, we may be able to wipe out the pirates without much effort at all."

Ace nodded in agreement. Pony was right. He didn't know what conditions his aunt had negotiated with Katakuri before, but as soon as Katakuri returned to the nations, he announced a blockade of the sea lines.

Katakuri clearly refused to accept the pirates who entered the New World during the Summit War and escaped from Impel Down. This attitude was very un-pirate, but who made him do it?

Moreover, as the second large area of ​​​​the New World, Katakuri's move not only denied these pirates entry into the New World, but also prevented other pirate groups deep in the New World from having the opportunity to replenish their personnel.

But fortunately, Katakuri's doing this is actually beneficial to him, because he will not accept these pirates in the first place. If he does not stop them, he will only let them enter deeper into the new world.

There is a high probability that he will become a member of the wildly expanding Beasts Pirates. Not long ago, Ten Thousand Kingdoms united with the Red-haired Pirates to fight against Kaido.

In this case, Katakuri will only offend Kaido by not letting these people enter the depths of the new world, but Katakuri is not afraid of this now.

After all, in the eyes of many people, Katakuri has another card, and that is his card as the Shichibukai. If Katakuri is pushed into a corner, he will choose to give up most of the territories of all nations and directly hand them over to the navy.

And once something like this happens, Kaido's good days will come to an end. After all, the red-haired sea does not directly cross the New World and connect the two windless zones.

He only occupied a piece of sea area symbolically. In other words, if the nations fall, then Kaido of the Beasts will lose his barrier and will be directly attacked by the navy.

Therefore, even if Katakuri now directly blocks Kaido's expansion, Kaido does not dare to say a word. After all, Katakuri's agreement is there, and the navy cannot go against one of his members to set foot in the world.

To put it bluntly, Katakuri has been conservative enough by not invading Kaido's sea area. The most Kaido can do at this time is to curse Katakuri for being a traitor.

However, Yamato didn't seem happy with this situation. She frowned and said, "If this is the case, all the pirates have been killed by the pirates themselves. What can we do?"

"We can clean up the sea area. By the way, Yamato, stop showing off your bad face. It's time for the warship to dock. Do you still remember the smile that Uncle Nurkic taught you?"

Ace said, he also rubbed his cheeks, and then showed a friendly smile. This smile was taught to them by Nurkic, saying that the people can easily accept such a smile.

"Damn it! We are the navy! We are not some showgirls!"

Yamato complained, but he also put down the mace and rubbed his cheeks with both hands to relax the tight facial muscles so that he could make that smile.

Bonny was not as uncomfortable as these two people, because her father often showed such a smile to his family and the people. It was not bright, but very friendly. Therefore, Bonny could show enough kindness as long as she recalled her father.

smile.

At this time, in the Kingdom of Dressrosa, Rosinandi stamped out the flames on the corners of his coat while looking at the information in his hand, frowning. Apparently, the information made him... take it seriously.

There is a relatively clear picture in the information. The person in the picture is extremely weird. There are many stitching marks on his body, and they are all circular marks.

For example, each joint of the hands has two circular suture circles, as if the arm had been cut off and then reattached. But looking at the situation...it has obviously been broken many times.

After all, those suture circles not only appear on the elbows and wrists, but also on every finger and every knuckle on the fingers.

And such suture wounds don't just appear on the body, this person's neck and facial features all have such hideous and terrifying suture marks.

The most important thing is that this extremely scary-looking person gave Rosinandi a sense of familiarity. In other words, he had actually recognized this person, but... he was not very accepting of it.

Because this man is his brother, the former Celestial Dragon Don Quixote Doflamingo!

And why Doflamingo became like this, in fact... Rosinandi knew it, because the "culprit" of all this could be said to be him, the new generation general of the navy Luo Wei

.

At Skyler's instruction, Law used his own abilities to twist every bone and even organ of Doflamingo, who had no power to resist.

Under the power of Rona's terrifying surgical fruits, Doflamingo became a monster that everyone would scream in horror when they saw it, but ten years later...he appeared again.

Looking at the sutures on Doflamingo's body, it was not difficult for Rosinand to imagine what his brother had gone through.

Perhaps it was during the Impel Down Incident that Doflamingo, who had gained freedom and regained his abilities, personally removed every twisted place and then sewed it up with the Thread Fruit.

Rocinante could definitely imagine that kind of pain. After all, he entered the Don Quixote family as an undercover agent, but paid a lot of price, and almost lost his life under the care of the medical department.

And that kind of pain, doubled again, plus the mental pain, is probably what Doflamingo is feeling in his heart at this time.

Rosinandi looked at this brother, his frown could not relax, because his brother was still unwilling to accept his fate and still wanted... "The winner is king"!

But today's navy is no longer the navy of the past. There is no soil for evil to grow in this sea. Doflamingo's struggle will only make himself more painful.

Doflamingo is Rocinante's last living blood relative. If possible, Rocinante does not want to lose this brother, even if he is lying in a cell in Impel Down like before.

However, Rosinandi had no intention of arresting Doflamingo, because that was not his job. Looking at the information, Rosinandi finally sighed, picked up the phone, and made a call.

It took a while for the phone bug to be connected. Rosinandi said softly to the phone bug: "Sir, Doflamingo has been found. He is near Dressrosa."

Aboard the warship of the Zhanye detachment, Skyler frowned when he heard Nurkic's call. After all, Doflamingo was just one of the members on Impel Down City's prison break list.

From the standpoint of the Navy, it was definitely not worth being alone as a companion, but Skyler quickly guessed Rosinandi’s purpose and asked: “What do you want me to do with him?”

Rocinante took on a pleading tone and said, "Just letting him live is enough."

"That's it? I thought you wanted me to ignore him, but there's nothing wrong with him as long as he's alive. Then you can just let Luo be more sensible."

Whether Doflamingo is dead or alive has almost no impact on Skyler, and she is not a combatant in this mission, but has more of a "supervisor" responsibility.

On the one hand, it is to speed up the progress of the Navy. On the other hand, it is also to put some pressure on the pirates. This can be seen from the performance of the pirates in the month after the Navy entered the new world.

This large fleet led by Skyler and Zhanye detachment put so much pressure on them that they did not even dare to confront the navy head-on.

In the past few months, there had been a life-and-death fight for territory, but when the navy really set foot in this sea area, 99% of them would give up the territory they had won unconditionally.

Moreover, Crane and Sengoku also made it clear that in this operation to take over Whitebeard's waters, it would be best for Skyler not to participate in the battle head-on, because Skyler's action would mean the end of everything for the pirates.

While these pirates still have some leverage, the Navy does not want these pirates to jump over the wall and vent their anger by massacring the island before they die.

Skyler's continued refusal to take action will give these pirates a glimmer of hope for survival. Therefore, they will spend a lot of time escaping instead of making a useless counterattack.

Because the navy left them an escape route, allowing them to retreat deeper into the new world, and when they reached the neutral waters near Dressrosa, they would have no way to retreat again.

And this time there is no way out, not caused by the navy, but by the current emperor of all nations, Charlotte Katakuri, and the original chips in their hands will also be consumed in the process

Almost exhausted.

Even in neutral waters, there are still some civilians who can be used as bargaining chips to threaten the navy. However, in the process, the fear of the navy will gradually turn into anger towards Katakuri.

The massacre of the island is not even remotely threatening to Katakuri, so they can't help but feel that the massacre of the island is a meaningless act and may not be able to stop some people from venting their anger before they die.

But in the end, this impact and cost will gradually decrease amidst the illusory hope given by the navy, to a level that the navy can accept, the world government can accept, and the entire world can accept it.

Moreover, these pirates may not have a chance to take action in neutral waters. You must know that Rosinandi is stationed there, and more than half of the Night King's troops are lurking on various islands.

Once these pirates have the idea of ​​​​attacking civilians on a large scale, the signal will be transmitted back to Skyler in an instant, and they only need to wait until Skyler or other detachments arrive.

Hope is the source of motivation, but it is also the temptation to reach the end. The hope that arises will lead these pirates to their final death. This is the value of Skyler not taking action.

She is a signal, a mouthpiece that continues to spread this fatal hope of survival to pirates. As long as she does not take action, a large number of pirates will survive by chance until they become turtles in the urn.

Although Skyler didn't mind taking action, and even wanted to take action, in this mission, she could only follow the advice of her headquarters and let others take action.

Even though the other detachments still adopted the decision to kill the pirates under her order, there was a fundamental difference between other people's actions to kill the pirates and Skylar's action to kill the pirates.

Because they haven't become symbols yet, and Skyler is already a symbol.

Rosinandi naturally knew that his parents would not take action in this operation, but... he had to seek Skyler's opinion, and he was relieved to hear that Skyler agreed.

When Skyler heard Rosinandi's breathing become lighter, he said: "Then I won't bother you to discuss this matter with Luo and the others. Hang up and let me know if there is any urgent news."

"Yes! Sir!"

After Rosinandi answered, Skyler hung up the phone worm, then threw the phone worm to Nurkic and said: "If there is another call, you communicate with him first. If there is anything that needs to be dispatched, you can dispatch it first."

"

Nurkic nodded and complained a little in his heart. After all, Skyler's only job in the past month was to answer the phone, and now he has even left this job to himself.

As a parent, do you really want a paid vacation? And it is a paid vacation approved by the headquarters. Compared with General Kizaru, I don’t know how smart he is!

Skyler thought for a moment and asked, "Where are we now?"

After hearing this, Nurkic looked at the logbook in his hand and reported: "Report! We have taken over about 500 nautical miles of sea area, nearly a quarter of it."

"Slow, it's too slow, it won't last more than a month."

Skyler was not satisfied with this answer. Nurkic thought for a moment and then said: "Sir, the speed is actually not slow. Although most pirates will flee directly, there are also some pirates who are stubbornly resisting.

Lieutenant General Dauberman, Lieutenant General Stoloberg, and Luo have all fought against the pirates today. If we speed up the progress, we will have to shorten the rest time. I feel that the gain is not worth the loss."

As an excellent lieutenant, although Nurkic will 100% carry out the orders given by Skyler, he must also correct some cognitive biases of his superiors.

This was not the first time that Skyler was corrected by Nurkic, and this time she was just complaining. After all, Nurkic teased her that this was a paid vacation.

But in Skyler's own opinion, she was imprisoned in a cage without boundaries. In her opinion, if she could take action, the time it would take to take over Whitebeard's waters would only depend on the speed of the warship's cruise.

Regardless of the cost, Skyler even felt that he could complete it within a month. Therefore, in the past more than a month, he naturally felt dissatisfied when he heard that the Navy had only completed a quarter.

But she also knows that reality cannot be as imagined. Not every detachment has the quality of Zhanye Detachment, and their warships are not as sophisticated as those of Zhanye Detachment.

The five-hundred-nautical-mile sea area was created by countless naval forces who fought hard. When her words like this were spread, it actually hurt people's hearts. Therefore, she nodded at this time and said solemnly:

"I understand, let's stick to the original pace. If there are any problems, remember to ask them to report it. I can't take action. It doesn't mean that Zhanye detachment can't take action."
To be continued...
