Chapter 260 The world focuses on me! 【Part 1】(1/2)
final.
This unprecedented battle, which had gone through many twists and turns, ended with a complete victory of the navy after lasting for one day and one night.
The Beast Pirates paid an extremely heavy price for this war.
Two major disasters resulted in one death and one serious injury. Fully one-third of the "True Fighter" level cadres were lost, and more than half of the ordinary pirates below were killed or injured.
The pirate groups that allied with them and came to join the war were even more miserable. Only three of the dozen captains returned...
On the other hand, look at the Navy.
The casualties were much smaller. Although the several lieutenant generals in the headquarters were all badly injured, none of them was in danger of losing their lives.
By the time the pursuit was over, these lieutenant generals had begun to return one after another, leading their men to clean up the battlefield among the ruins, treat the wounded, and arrest and imprison all the prisoners who could not escape.
The number of people in this part alone was two to three thousand, which took a lot of effort from the navy.
…
The dark clouds dispersed and the heavy rain stopped.
Nosha and Akainu also returned from the pursuit and walked along the fragmented harbor towards the fortress.
On the way, I met several lieutenant generals from the headquarters, and when they had a brief chat, their reactions were all the same. They were all amazed by Nuoxia's amazing achievements, and they were all full of envy and admiration, and couldn't stop sighing.
"The people transferred from our headquarters to participate in the war this time are all veteran lieutenant generals with experience and resumes. Many of them are of the same generation as old man Garp."
Akainu saw the reactions of these seniors in his eyes. When he and Nosha were alone again, he shook his head and smiled:
"These old stubborns, and there were many of them before, felt that the promotion of you to lieutenant general was a bit exaggerated, and they were a little dissatisfied with it, but... after this battle, I'm afraid I can only accept you sincerely."
"Isn't that an exaggeration?"
After hearing this, Nuo Xia just smiled and shrugged, looking indifferent.
It's even more exaggerated than that. Maybe those old guys now feel like they have lived all their years on dogs... Such a thought just flashed through Akainu's mind, and suddenly he felt a little bit——
Why is it that compared to this little monster, at my own age, I am living like a dog?
This kid is obviously only twenty-one years old this year.
Looking at the overly young and handsome side face, Akainu felt a little complicated, and suddenly recalled the first time he paid attention to the name Romanov Nosha.
That was only two years ago.
At that time, this kid had just defeated William Shichibukai as a new recruit.
He admired this ruthless kid quite a lot, and even had the idea of personally submitting a petition to transfer him to his subordinates as soon as he graduated.
But who could have predicted what would happen next...
In just two years, the other party not only became the youngest lieutenant general in the history of the department, but also came to the same echelon as himself in terms of strength, completely equal to him.
In this war, he faced two sea emperors and achieved a brilliant record that even he could not catch up with.
The gap between humans is really bigger than the gap between humans and pigs.
Akainu was sighing in his heart, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned his head to look at the horizon in the northeast.
There, a hot air balloon airship had just changed its direction and was slowly retreating into the distance.
"It looks like Morgans."
Nuo Xia also noticed the hot air balloon, and raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised, "I saw this guy before at Cake Island, but I didn't expect that this time he would sneak around and watch the whole process..."
Is it necessary for the dignified president of World Economic News to be so hands-on?
"Hmph, that birdman..."
Akainu snorted coldly, looking at the hot air balloon with a look full of evil, "He has always been a person who is afraid of chaos in the world. In the past, he made up a lot of exaggerations and distorted the facts for the sake of newspaper sales. He has arranged this story several times...
…”
"But at least it's neutral, right?"
Nuo Xia saw him looking like he wanted to jump up and chase him, so he smiled and said:
"He has done some disgusting pirate things. For example, what happened at Cake Island last time. The reason why Big Mom didn't suppress it was because he, the invited guest ally, spread the word about it?"
"That's true."
Akainu narrowed his eyes, the murderous aura in his body faded a lot, and suddenly sneered:
"Our navy has won a great victory this time. It is the time when we need to publicize it with all our strength. I want to see if he will be wiser. If he still dares... hmph, then it is time for the World Economic News Agency to change its owner.
"
Do you hear that, Morgans?
If there is a deviation in the report, you will be held responsible in the future.
Nuo Xia clasped her hands behind her back, smiled and said nothing, watching the hot air balloon gradually drift away in the morning light...
———
While the Navy was still busy dealing with the aftermath of the war.
The battle that took place in the G1 branch finally fermented overnight. Starting from the dawn of the next day, it was gradually spread to all parts of the world through the news birds of major newspapers.
The speed with which the news appeared in newspapers this time can almost be said to be the fastest in history.
The reason is that Morgans, the world's largest newspaper giant, was at the scene of the war and dedicated himself as a temporary reporter.
It is precisely because of this that the relevant reports are extremely detailed.
Not only does it take up a huge amount of three pages to explain the causes, consequences and final outcome of the entire war, it is also accompanied by a large number of high-definition photos taken by Morgans himself.
These photos reveal too much shocking information.
There is a scene where the giant cyan dragon and the golden Buddha fight, and the sky is dark and the earth is dark, and there are also the defeats of two major disasters. Kaido is furious and attacks Noxia, but is easily resolved by the wind wall;
Later, the scene of Nosha and Akainu teaming up to suppress Big Mom was unable to escape...
The losses suffered by the Navy are rarely mentioned.
From this point of view, maybe Morgans sensed Akainu's murderous intention from a distance of more than ten kilometers away, or maybe he was moody, and this time he just wanted to disgust the two sea emperors...
In short.
This newspaper was published quickly and sold out quickly. People who bought the newspaper rushed to circulate it, instantly igniting public opinion.
This newspaper of World Economic News has become the most explosive publication since the execution of Pirate King Roger five years ago!
All of a sudden.
From the four seas to the Grand Line, from the shuttered doors of humble taverns to the prosperous bustling streets of major cities...this unprecedented war has been talked about by countless people.
And there is no doubt about it.
Nuo Xia, who played the most crucial role in it and even turned the tide of the war on his own, suddenly became the focus of the entire world again after a few months!
———
The New World, a small island belonging to the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.
A banquet is being held.
The reason for holding the banquet is very simple. Captain Bista of the fifth division has his birthday today, and Whitebeard happened to have personally defeated a pirate group called the Great Vortex Spiders who came to challenge him.
In one fell swoop, he collected hundreds more sons.
So we decided to hold two happy events together, and the banquet became extra grand.
They drank from dusk until late at night, but their interest remained undiminished. The drunken pirates lit a bonfire, hugging their backs and laughing and dancing around the flames.
A figure sitting next to the huge rock looked extraordinarily tall. He looked at his sons drinking happily in the campfire, touched his beard, and his eyes were filled with a smile of joy and satisfaction.
The World's Strongest Man, Whitebeard Edward Newgate.
And behind his back, a large naginata named "Sogumo Kiri" was firmly embedded in the soil.
Just like its owner, just standing there quietly gives off a suffocating sense of oppression.
"I can't hold it in anymore, I can't hold it in anymore..."
When it got dark, Captain Scuyard of the Great Maelstrom Spider Pirates finally found an opening and left the camp. He reached the edge of a remote cliff nearby and began to hiss in the wind.
As a newly joined captain, he had been the focus of care all night, and he was already a little delirious from drinking. After he had finished urinating comfortably, he was about to turn around and go back to sleep, when he suddenly saw a news bird flying across the sky.
After thinking about it, I just bought a few copies.
"This is……"
The moment he unfolded the newspaper and saw the headline on the front page, the Great Vortex Spider suddenly became excited, and the drunkenness he felt just now disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Dad! Look at this!" He hurriedly ran back to the camp, raised the newspaper in his hand and shouted, "Something terrible happened over there in the Navy's G1 branch!"
"Hahaha, what big event could be more important than a banquet?"
"I'm panicking, what are you thinking!"
"Come on, you didn't have enough fun last night, come here and keep drinking with me, little spider!"
The crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates headquarters looked at his appearance and couldn't help but laugh in good faith.
To be continued...
