Chapter 239 The Purpose of the Revolutionary Army
Chapter 239 The Purpose of the Revolutionary Army
Facing Huang Yuan's question, the three of them didn't say a word, and they were completely unyielding.After all, they belong to the secret service agency under Tianlong's direct jurisdiction. When did they suffer from such uselessness?
And most importantly, they didn't believe that the yellow ape could do anything to them, and they were still thinking about how to punish the yellow ape.
The purpose of their coming here is actually very simple, it is the matter of the auction.The excuse on the surface is that the pacifists were illegally auctioned, but in fact it is because the auction of Charros St. requires someone to explain.
Their CP0 has no ability, but they don't want to admit it, so they can only focus on Huang Yuan's head.
After all, Huang Yuan gave people the impression of being an ambiguous character in the past, and he probably wouldn't have any opinion on this kind of thing.
This is still the temper they have developed with the Tianlong people for a long time, so they didn't think too much about the consequences at all.But they seem to have forgotten the identity and strength of the yellow ape.
One of the three admirals of the navy, the top combat force in the world.Don't look at it in front of Buffon, it seems a bit timid, but in front of them, the CP0 yellow apes don't pay attention at all.
Seeing that they didn't speak, Huang Yuan started to take off the mask of one of them.
"Stop, our identities cannot be revealed. If you really take off my mask, then you two really have no way out! Let us go now, obediently go back to report the situation with us, here..."
Before he could finish speaking, Huang Yuan kicked the guy unconscious.
"I'm afraid you haven't been kicked by the speed of light!"
With the end of Huang Yuan's voice, Zhan Taowan also followed suit and knocked the remaining two unconscious, but he used a broad axe.
After cleaning up these three guys, Zhan Taowan said directly: "After this incident, I really don't know who else the World Government and the Tianlong people can use to save face?"
Hearing this, Huang Yuan also sighed: "CP0's mission has been disturbed many times by Buffon. In the past, CP0 received orders from superiors only to capture Robin alive. This may be a good idea for them. Very easy thing.
Because Robin was still in Alabasta before, as long as CP0 is not so arrogant, he can catch Robin, and Robin must have a psychological shadow when he sees CP0, so CP0 should be able to clean up Robin without any effort.
But when they found Robin, Wu Laoxing gave them new instructions, saying that they were looking for that Pluto, which meant one thing, CP0's plan to capture Robin failed.
Later, they chose to protect Kama-El-san first, but they didn't expect that Buffona would kill Kama-El-san directly.
So in the end we also saw that CP0 was beaten into a pile of scrap metal by Buffon, but the spirit of CP0 is indeed worth learning, dare to die, have the courage to execute orders, and recklessly complete the tasks of the superiors.
But it is a pity that both of CP0's plans failed, because Robin did not die, Pluto was not found, and the life of Kamael Sheng was also included. "
"What? Buffon killed Kamael San?" Zhan Taomaru said with an incredulous expression.
"Uh, uh, I was talking too much, you kid should not be high enough to know this kind of news." Huang Yuan pouted his mouth as he spoke, as if this matter was not a big deal.
"So? Mr. Huangyuan, you mean that the world government suppressed that matter for the sake of face? Then the Kama El Saint in Buffon's hand is fake? Don't worry, I am the most vocal in the world. Tight man, tell me I won't say anything!"
What Zhan Taowan said was so precise that it felt as if it was true.
"Forget it, let's talk about something else! This directly makes the navy lose face, so who will the navy send to save the situation?" Huang Yuan asked.
"How do I know this? Anyway, now I feel that all the people who can be recruited in our navy have already been recruited, but we still can't beat Buffon!"
"Hey!" Huang Yuan sighed and continued: "In this kind of scene, if you just send Lu Qi, the combat power is not enough. The current Lu Qi is not as good as a captain under Buffon, so let him go on. Otherwise, it can only become cannon fodder."
Hearing this, Zhan Taowan seemed to understand something and said: "The only possibility is to send Dr. Vegapunk's super-humans. This group of predators will bring back face to the Navy, because they are peaceful The upgraded version of the pacifists, last time in Chambord, the pacifists could easily destroy the pirates worth 5 million bounties, and now Vegapunk has upgraded them again. If Tom is used to deal with Buffon, It is also a matter of course.”
Hearing this, Huang Yuan continued: "However, in addition to the super android, the general will also be there, this is to ensure that the task can be completed smoothly, once the admiral comes out and the super android, Buffon's men will basically be there. Then there's no problem."
After saying this, Zhan Taowan thought for a while and said: "Green cow!"
……
Looking at Buffon again, everyone in the Juventus Pirates had gathered in Raab's body again, and at the same time, a group of people from the Revolutionary Army also came in.
"Captain Buffon, this time we are here, in addition to helping you support the situation, we have another request!" Sabo said.
Sabo is the sworn brother of Monkey D. Luffy and Portgas D. Ace.The Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, who is also the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army, offered a bounty of 6 million Berries.
Born noble but longing for freedom.When he first went to sea, he was attacked by the Tianlong people and was rescued by the leader of the revolutionary army, Monkey D. Long.Under Long's teaching, by virtue of his talent and hard work, he became the number two figure in the Revolutionary Army.
In the original book, he reunited with Luffy at the Dressrosa Arena, played instead of Luffy and won the game, ate the burnt fruit, and inherited the will of his brother Ace.
Sabo was born in an aristocratic family and was trained by the aristocrats before he ran away from home. However, his personality was not obliterated and distorted when it was revealed. Instead, he saw through the hypocrisy of the aristocratic family and chose to follow his own will.Yearning for freedom, thinking that men should protect themselves.
First save Rebecca, who is a lady, and politely ask Rebecca to take care of Luffy. When Kerra put on the hat for him, he leaned forward slightly. The aristocratic costumes he wore from childhood to adulthood all reflect aristocratic education Some of the better effects on it, but generally only superficial.
For Luffy, compared to Ace when he was young, Sabo was a gentle brother who would encourage Luffy who failed. Ace also thought that Sabo was too used to Luffy.
When he was only 20 years old, he became the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, that is, the second-ranking chair of the Revolutionary Army. The Revolutionary Army would always consult Sabo for instructions in its actions in Dressrosa.
Sabo, like Luffy, can be messy and willful at times.Szabo claimed he was planning to mess around.
But it's different to be complained about by my companion Kerra.Sabo himself tends to listen to phone bugs, and only listens to the key points. As his partner, Kerla is very angry about this, so he is always scolded by Kerla.
Sabo was originally the son of a nobleman in the Kingdom of Goa. He ran away from home after discovering that his parents cared about status and property instead of himself. He became close friends with the young Ace at the terminal of uncertain things. In order to accumulate money to buy pirate ships Save gold and steal other people's belongings together at the terminal of uncertain things.
I met Luffy who came with Ace and was discovered by him about the secret of saving money. The two wanted to kill Luffy but were at a loss about the killing. After the Burr Jamie incident, they agreed with Ace.
After the three brothers shouted out their dreams, Ace took out the wine stolen from Dadan, and the three toasted to officially become brothers.
After the Dingshang War ended, the media reported the outcome of the war one after another.After Sabo saw the report of Ace's death, the lost memory suddenly hit his brain.Sabo fell to the ground in great pain and fell into a coma.After waking up, Sabo at this time has recovered all his memories, and is determined to protect Luffy and ask all members of the Revolutionary Army to help him find the burning fruit of his brother Ace.
Two years later in the original book, shortly before going to Dressrosa, Sabo went to pay homage to Ace, and left three bowls of wine and newspapers about the Straw Hats in front of the grave.
The purpose of Sabo's trip to Dressrosa is to investigate and reveal the truth about Dressrosa's factory, to prevent the export of its weapons from fueling world wars, and from a personal standpoint, it is also to recapture his brother Portgas D. Ace's burnt fruit.
When Luffy decided to give up the burning fruit and choose to rescue Trafalgar Law, he appeared in time and continued to compete for the burning fruit as "Luci" for Luffy. Luffy cried with joy after seeing him suddenly after many years , and cried all the way after leaving the arena.During the phone call with Kerla, a comrade-in-arms of the Revolutionary Army, she couldn't help crying because of seeing Luffy and not saving Ace.
Regarding the country of Dressrosa, Sabo said something very similar to Luffy to Rebecca. This whitewashed country always feels very similar to the country we grew up in.
In the arena competition, Sabo broke Diamanti's sword with the water pipe wrapped around the armed color domineering, and then used the armed color domineering and hardened moves to crush the armor of Zhishas Bashas head-to-head, and finally used the dragon The breath destroyed the entire arena, got the burnt fruit and ate it, then used a move similar to Yuebu to climb above the arena, and used Ace's classic move Fire Fist to open up the arena and the underground trading port with one move .
At the end of the game, Sabo showed Rebecca his true identity and politely asked Rebecca to take care of Luffy.The men of Don Quixote's family also became nervous when they saw him.It was rewarded by Don Quixote Doflamingo in Dressrosa as a reward of 3 stars, and one star is equal to [-] million Baileys.
Afterwards, Sabo reappeared, using his powerful burning fruit ability and arrogance, he blocked the general Fujitora, several lieutenant generals and thousands of marines with his own power. His strength was unparalleled and he was full of arrogance.Sabo used the move of "Dragon's Claw" to pinch off Vice Admiral Bastiyu's weapon "Shark Cutter" with his bare hands, and then killed him in seconds.
Afterwards, he started a fierce battle with Fujitora, but Fujitora revealed his true intentions to Sabo and then ceased fighting.As the birdcage began to shrink, Saab was busy with the evacuation of the crowd.
During the period, I received news from Kerla that the champion Bashas was trying to harm Luffy.Sabo then started heading towards Luffy.When Luffy's fourth gear was exhausted and he was unprepared, Bashas suddenly appeared and tried to kill Luffy with a knife to take the rubber fruit. Sabo rushed to stop Bashas in time.
Sabo kicked Bashas away and warned him not to play Luffy's idea, Bashas didn't listen at all, and started a fight with Sabo, but obviously lost to Sabo, Sabo defeated Bashas again with "Flame Dragon Claw Fist · Flame Dragon King" .
While Luffy defeated Doflamingo, Sabo easily defeated Bashas, but Bashas still didn't give up. He first stimulated Sabo with words, and finally Sabo couldn't bear it anymore, and severely injured Bashas with a fire fist.
After it's done, we will meet with Luffy and the others to rest together.In the middle of the night, Sabo began to prepare to set off. Before leaving, he told Luffy's partners about his experience, and also told them that CP0 would turn back immediately, and the target was them.In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Sabo decided to set off immediately to join Haku and Kerla, and they are now on the way.
At the same time that Luffy and his party landed on Zou, Sabo had also arrived at the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, and was training to develop burning fruits.At the same time, Bashas, who was seriously injured by Sabo, also accidentally discovered the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army and contacted Lafitte, the captain of the fifth ship of the Blackbeard Pirates.
The headquarters of Baru Digo was severely attacked by the Blackbeard Pirates, and the leaders of the Revolutionary Army, Long and Sabo, and all members of the Revolutionary Army were missing.The world conference chapter will appear again.
The Revolutionary Army, which lost Barudigo, moved the meeting place of the headquarters and cadres to the Kamabaka Kingdom, and everyone was safe and sound.
On the island, I was very happy when I learned the headline news that Luffy was offered a reward of 15 billion. Kerra's face was cramped when he laughed.
The Revolutionary Army is preparing to declare war on the Draco at this World Conference.Sabo disguised himself as the guard of his younger brother Staley and successfully infiltrated into Marie Gioia. After that, he and Callas and others saw that his companion, the tyrant bear, was reduced to a slave of the Celestial Dragons and suffered inhuman abuse. He was very angry and vowed to Rescue the bear.
And he fights with the army commanders of the Revolutionary Army in order to get Kuma back, Zamarie Gioia, Green Bull, and Fujitora.
But now because of Buffon's arrival, the whole incident has changed a lot.At least the Tyrant Bears are safe now, and their base camp has not been discovered and destroyed by Blackbeard.
Then if the revolutionary army came to look for Buffon, then there was only one purpose, and that was for Robin.
The dragon probably knows a lot of things about the 100 years of disappearance, so I hope to study and discuss this matter with Robin. If they can know some truths, they will make those truths that are not good for Tianlong people public, and then spread them all over the world. Set off a wave of overthrowing the rule of the Tianlong people within the scope!
