One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

"Empress, do you know about Neil's affairs?"

Xia Qi walked around the room a few times and realized that complaining was useless at this moment. Solving the problem was the right way, so she asked.

"Mother, I never asked them to provoke the navy. Maybe they just acted on their own initiative."

Xia Qi's daughter, the contemporary Queen of the Kingdom of Women, Queen Jasmine, who possesses a peerless grace no less than Hancock in the future, spoke.

She has been busy taking care of the children in the past few years and has no time to care about anything else. She must be crazy to let Neil lead an expeditionary force to provoke the navy.

"Forget it. There is no point in saying this now. Order the entire island to enter a state of war and prepare for battle."

"We must apologize, but before that, we must also let the navy see our strength."

Xia Qi sighed and rubbed his brows. In the past few years, first Rayleigh died in battle, and then there were the many affairs of the Nine Snakes. In just two years, Xia Qi looked much older.

What she prayed now was that the navy that took action were not the truly strong ones from the navy headquarters, otherwise Nine Snake Island would suffer enough.

"After this incident, Jasmine, the Nine Snakes Pirates need to be reorganized. The minds of those generals are no longer pure."

Xia Qi shook her head, and then began to prepare for the next battle.

As a strong man who had been on many battlefields, Xia Qi did not have any illusions, but immediately ordered the Nine Snake soldiers who remained on the island to form a military formation on the beach.

This would also make it easier for Nine Snakes to block the navy outside the island, or at least prevent the navy from entering the hinterland.

As Xia Qi expected, after a while, the majestic battleship Shield Eternal, which looked like a castle on the sea, appeared at the end of her sight.

The Holy Shield flag fluttered wildly at the highest point, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.

When Xia Qi saw the Holy Shield flag, her face turned pale. She knew the details of the battle in which Rayleigh died and the decisive battle in Wano Country.

In addition to her identity as an intelligence dealer, she knew that neither herself nor the entire Nine Snakes Corps could contend with the monster in the navy.

Those two "swimming snakes", powerful creatures that even sea kings dared not touch due to their strong bodies and venom, had been beaten half to death at this time.

They were used as two ropes to drag the Perfume Serpent behind the warship, and it looked very embarrassed.

As the Aegis Eternal gradually approached, the entire full fleet behind it also appeared on the sea level, so vast that it almost covered the entire ocean.

"There are so many ships here. What's going on? These must be enemies."

"That's our flagship, the Perfume Serpent. It looks like the Nine Snakes Expeditionary Force has been defeated and captured."

"With so many fleets, the enemy should be very powerful. And what about the Holy Shield flag? What does it represent?"

Seeing the warships almost filling the sea, the Nine Snake Legion soldiers lined up on the shore couldn't help but feel confused and even worried, and began to whisper to each other.

"Mother, what should we do?"

Queen Jasmine saw Xia Qi's look and asked.

"There's nothing we can do. Even if we are all tied together, we won't be enough to defeat them. Let the Nine Snakes retreat. I'll go up and negotiate."

Xia Qi covered her face with her hands. What could she do at this moment? She prayed that only the flag was there, but the people were gone. Let's not talk about whether this was possible.

Even if the other party was not there, Xia Qi did not think that the Nine Snakes Legion could fight against a fully staffed legion of generals.

"Back off, back off!"

"Do not initiate the attack. Repeat, do not initiate the attack."

Xia Qi began to convey the order, and with a few leaps she came to the front of the team, waiting for the warship to dock.

Dignity comes from the blade of the sword, and there is nothing like it. Just a flag can make the entire Nine Snakes, a powerful pirate group that has even been demonized in the Sabaody Archipelago, helpless.

"Crash."

The sea peaks roared and the waves kept hitting the shore. Every minute of waiting was a great torture.

Fortunately, the speed of the Holy Shield Eternal did not make Xia Qi wait too long. Even with a large burden dragging behind it, it was still able to ride the wind and waves.

The steel plate on the bottom of the warship rubbed against the beach, making a long "hissing" sound, and slowly stopped on the beach.

The warships sailed directly onto the enemy's beach, which was a blatant provocation, disregard and even contempt.

After all, the warship has no resistance in this state. According to regulations, the ship should be lowered dozens of meters away from the shore, and the marines should go ashore first to clear a safe docking area for the warship.

But Carsent’s meaning was very clear: I am like this, do you dare to fight me?

It was obvious that Xia Qi didn't dare. Not only did she not dare, she also had to open her mouth to say hello.

"Lieutenant General Xuanming, I am the former Queen of the Nine Snakes. This attack on the warship was purely accidental. I hope the Lieutenant General will forgive me."

Xia Qi did not say anything about the general's temporary behavior and that she was not aware of it.

After all, this kind of statement is extremely destabilizing. If someone lets you go out to sea to plunder supplies, and something goes wrong, you say it has nothing to do with you? Who would dare to go out again?

To the outside world, it has no value other than disgusting people. Do you know that it has nothing to do with me?

"You are Xia Qi, right, Rayleigh's old lover?"

Carsen stood on the deck, his coat of justice fluttering in the wind behind him, looking down at the Nine Snakes pirates below, and Anelle stood behind Carsen.

This time, it was obvious that he was venting his anger on his subordinates. How could he be polite to a bunch of pirates? I looked down on you. What can you do?

"Lieutenant General, you are joking. I am only the former Queen of the Nine Snakes."

Xia Qi forced a smile and replied.

"I don't want to waste time talking to you. Your people attacked a navy ship, a navy ship on a mission. How do you want to resolve this matter?"

Carsent spoke loudly, getting straight to the point.

What nonsense are you talking about? The Nine Snakes Kingdom is not protected by the "Regulations on the Handling of Certain Issues between Member and Non-member Countries of the World Government". The whole country is full of pirates. There is nothing more to say.

"First of all, your ship, along with these pirates, is worth 1.5 billion berries."

The purpose of capturing these people alive is just to exchange for some conditions. Just kill them and that's it.

"Of course, if you don't want it, I wouldn't mind helping to destroy it."

When Xia Qi heard this, her eyes darkened. This pirate ship could be destroyed, but could the people on it be destroyed as well?

The most precious thing is not the ship, but the two snakes. Without these two snakes, it will be a problem for the Nine Snakes Pirates to go out to sea in the future.

"No problem, but we, Nine Snakes, can't come up with the money for the time being. Can we wait for some time?"

Xia Qi gritted her teeth. Although the money was a lot, Jiushe could still get it if she tightened her belt. The only difference was that her quality of life might decline a little in the future.

In addition, the Nine Snakes are almost isolated from the outside world, and have their own currency circulating within them, without the use of Bailey.

As for Bailey, Nine Snakes will only prepare some when they go to the Sabaody Archipelago. There is really not much stock, so it takes some time to raise the stocks.
