Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 862 Reasons for Failure

Wano Country, Flower Capital Slums.

Every big city has its share of poor people, especially in Wano Country, where the number of poor people is countless due to the distorted policies.

With gauze wrapped on her hands, Xiao Zi walked on the sewage-filled street with a grim look on her face. From time to time, exclamations were heard from all around, and people were amazed at the arrival of the number one geisha.

If it were a normal day, she would definitely smile and say hello in response, but now...

"You seem to be very familiar with the route to the slums. Even I, who memorized the map, don't know this route."

As she was walking along the street, suddenly, a cold voice sounded from behind her.

Xiao Zi was startled and realized that he had brought Li Risk into a deserted street with few people. Although it was still a slum, it was not marked on the map.

But Xiao Zi quickly calmed down and said.

"I grew up in the Flower City. How could I know that this road is strange?"

After that, she turned and looked at Li Ruisk: "What exactly are you going to do? I've already walked along the main road of the Flower City!"

"Keep going, don't ask... You'll know when I want to tell you."

Li Ruisk said calmly, thinking silently.

"Have you walked around yet?"

“We really have to go to that place.”

Looking at Xiao Zi, he said without denying it: "Next, let's go to the abandoned Yuden Castle."

Oden Castle?!

Is it...

Xiao Zi widened her eyes in disbelief, held her breath, and looked at the cold man.

"What? Don't you know the way?"

"I know you. Come with me."

With a grim response, Xiao Zi turned around silently and led the way.

……

On the other side, the underground space.

"It sure is him!"

Nico Robin smiled bitterly, shook her head, and put the book down.

Indeed, there is no better reinforcement than him.

Whether it is the navy he represents or his own strength, there is no second opponent on the sea that can be compared with him.

But others are not as calm as her...

"The navy is coming! Sanji, save me!"

Chopper hid his head behind his legs, leaving his body exposed.

"Cang... Canglong? Why would the admiral of the navy appear here?!"

Usopp trembled as he picked up the slingshot and threatened, "I am Captain Usopp, a great pirate with 80 million crew members. If you don't want to die, leave now... Uuuu, I'm biting my tongue!"

Usopp spat out a mouthful of blood as he spoke, and the scene instantly became chaotic.

Ron: "..."

"Give up. What can we do with the current situation?"

At this time, Franky stood up, holding one of his disassembled arms, and stood in front of Usopp.

Then he looked at Ron and said.

"When I heard the news that Kaido's coalition had declared war on you, I thought that Wano Country wouldn't be safe for long, but I didn't expect that you would be there in person, Admiral Soryuu!"

When two sides go to war, disrupting the enemy's base camp is a normal strategy.

Franky thought about who would come to Wano Country to cause trouble for Kaido, but he never thought that the person would be Soryu.

Such a terrifying combat force should be stationed at the headquarters to protect the safety of the holy land.

"Well, a lot of things happened, but that's not something you should know, so I won't mention it."

Seeing that his intimidation was still there, Ron shrugged, relaxed, and lit a cigar.

"To be honest, I'm regretting my proposal to join forces now, Nami... With the way they are, what can they do?"

There was not a single intact part on Franky's body, even his eyeball was missing, and the skin used for camouflage was violently torn, like a metal skeleton.

The real Skeleton Brook hasn't said a word so far. His lower jaw has fallen somewhere, his bones are broken into pieces, and he is lying on the bed unable to move.

Usopp and Chopper were also seriously injured, and it was a miracle that they could move.

The only one in good condition is Nico Robin, but her strength is only good enough to deal with some miscellaneous soldiers, but not enough to deal with opponents like those in Wano Country.

Let's say that.

The three forces currently existing in Wano Country, Orrick, Kaido, and Kurozumi Orochi, are all no weaker than the Four Emperors of the past. Even with the halo of the protagonist, each of them is an opponent that Luffy can only defeat with a desperate fight and the help of chance. If they are taken out alone, they can easily become powerful enemies that take up a whole year.

In their current state, they are useless except for gathering intelligence. "At least we have preserved half of our strength. As long as we cooperate well with the resistance, we still have that possibility."

Sanji spoke calmly, explaining his own value.

In response, Ron glanced at him calmly and asked, "Half? For example?"

"Of course Luffy, me, and..."

At this point, Sanji was suddenly startled.

"Where's the green algae head?!"

Σ(￣□￣||)
"do not know……"

Luffy said while picking his nose.

"It's hard...could it be said..."

Sanji looked back in disbelief at the passage they came from: "How could you get lost here? There's only one way!!"

Watching Sanji gritting his teeth as he walked towards the passage to go out to look for someone, Ron casually pulled over a chair and sat down, taking a puff of his cigar.

"Ah, familiar conversation."

The boastful Usopp, the timid yet brave Chopper, the lost Zoro, and Sanji who has a love-hate relationship with him are all familiar guys.

"Tell me about your plans before they come back."

Ron turned around and asked.

Hearing this, Franky nodded.

"The current situation is not good for us. The last time we prepared for the attack, we were defeated by the enemy. Not only did we fail to rescue Momonosuke, but we also put many comrades in danger, and Kin'emon was also captured."

"But they are safe for now. Even after Kurozumi Orochi repelled our attack, he is still worried. After all, according to the legend left 20 years ago, there were nine people who came to end it all. Before finding all of them, Kurozumi Orochi will not do anything to them."

"The Nine Red Scabbards...?"

Ron nodded and said.

"But I don't care whether that kid lives or dies. What I want is their troop deployment, strength intelligence, and whether there are any loopholes that can be exploited."

"I heard about your last attack on the way here. Do you know why you failed?"

Hearing this, Franky was stunned for a moment.

"why?"

"It's simple. You still regard this trip to Wano Country as an adventure, not a war."

Seeing the stunned Straw Hat Pirates, Ron said calmly: "Remember what happened in Alabasta? Countless pirates invaded Alabasta, it was a tragic scene with smoke everywhere."

Upon hearing this, the Straw Hat Pirates fell silent.

Indeed, this is war!

Starting from Alabasta, they came to deeply realize the cruel truth of this world. In this vast ocean, human life is really worthless.

So when did they forget all this?

Luffy silently clenched his fists.

Probably since the day Ace died in front of him.

He would never allow anyone to disappear from his side again.

"The difference between naively saving everyone and just winning is the difference between adventure and war... Just listening to your story, I already have five strategies in my mind to target Kurozumi Orochi using Momonosuke as bait, but you chose the one that I don't understand the most... to storm the Flower Capital."

"Using Momonosuke as bait?"

Franky gasped, "Sorry, we can't do it. And Kanjuro and the others can't do it either. The safety of the lord is more important than their lives. Wano Country is such a country."

In response, Ron looked over.

"You think it's cruel?"

"It's just that the method is wrong! Using Momonosuke as bait or something..."

Usopp protested loudly, then lowered his head.

"Don't underestimate a man's awareness...even if he's just a little kid."

Ron took a puff of his cigarette and said, "If he could end this with his own life in exchange for victory and hope, what do you think Momonosuke would choose?"

"Momonosuke, Kin'emon, and Kanjuro, who experienced the invasion war 20 years ago, know Kaido's horror better than any of you. However, they still came back... What do you think they had in mind to set foot on this land where everything has changed?"

"You are the ones who are looking down on them, the Straw Hat Pirates! You think you can protect everyone and you are ignoring their will."

After a pause, Ron lost interest.

"But they haven't expressed their opinions yet, so what's the point of me saying this? Go on, and don't miss the point this time."

"I...I know."

Franky took a deep breath and began to slowly describe the military deployment of Kaido's coalition.
