Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

"calm down."

As one of the commanders in charge of the three lines of defense in the Red Sea, Chaton looked at him and said, "She shouldn't be able to launch another attack like that for the time being. While the Beast Pirates and the Revolutionary Army are surrounded by us, let's try to eliminate their soldiers as much as possible..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

A navy officer exclaimed in panic, "Something's wrong! We've been ambushed from behind!"

"what!"

"Yes, it's the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates led by Diamond Jozu!"

242, a world-class war, a full-scale clash! (Two-in-one)

The rising ocean currents passed through the Grand Line, crossed the Red Line, and entered the mouth of the New World.

Not far from the estuary.

It was the Navy's G1 branch in the New World, and now, after Marineford, it has become the Navy's new headquarters.

now.

A large number of elite naval forces and government troops are stationed here, with warships and escort ships guarding this steel fortress outside the semi-circular wall.

Cannons were set up atop the fortress, and solemn-faced naval officers directed tense-looking sailors in the final preparations.

"Move quickly!"

"We are the last line of defense, and we absolutely cannot let pirates into the Red Line!"

"Fill all the shells! Check them carefully!"

"Yes Yes!"

Wearing a coat of justice, Momousagi stood atop the fortress, gazing solemnly at the distant sea where war raged and the sky was reflected in a fiery red.

"How did you come?"

Momousagi suddenly spoke up.

Green Bull appeared beside her, hands in his pockets: "The Marshal seems a little worried about this place, so he sent me to help."

He looked up and gazed in that direction: "The situation does look rather bad."

"The offensive was more intense than expected,"

Momousagi said calmly, "But it was still within my expectations."

Just now.

A major general took the Den Den Mushi and turned to the two men anxiously, saying, "This is a message from Admiral Candidate Chaton: Diamond Jozu has appeared in the rear with the remnants of Whitebeard's crew! They've launched a joint counterattack against our encirclement, in coordination with the Beast Pirates and the Revolutionary Army!"

"Our army is outmatched and is now retreating steadily. The enemy is about to break through the second line of defense."

Momousagi nodded and calmly said, "Understood."

Green Bull looked at Momousagi: "What are you planning to do?"

After pondering for a few seconds, Momousagi spoke to the major general who was holding a Den Den Mushi and in charge of communications, saying, "Tell Chaton and the others not to linger in the battle, abandon the second line of defense, and retreat this way. We will launch a counterattack against them at the estuary."

"Yes!"

"Report the situation here to the command center and tell them to prepare reinforcements as needed."

"learn!"

After the rear admiral left.

Green Bull looked at Momousagi with some surprise: "Are you just going to abandon the first and second lines of defense like that?"

"We didn't really expect to hold out with the first and second lines of defense; we were just trying to force them out." Momousagi gazed coldly ahead: "This is the real main battlefield."

…………

Inside the World Government.

People came and went, and figures hurried through the crowd, their expressions tense and heavy.

Inside the command center.

"The Beasts Pirates, the Revolutionary Army, and the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates have all appeared, gathering their main forces for a frontal attack..."

Upon learning of the situation at the front, Sengoku crossed his arms and pondered deeply.

"The guys who have shown up so far are Jack, Quinn, the commander of the Revolutionary Army's Fourth Army, and Diamond Jozu... The really troublesome ones haven't shown up yet."

The CP0 commander said in a deep voice, "Those guys are our real enemies."

"We must force them to reveal themselves from the shadows, otherwise the enemy will be in the dark while we are in the light, which will be detrimental to our operations."

Lieutenant General Tsuru spoke.

Zhan Guo looked at her: "Xiao He, what are your thoughts? Tell me."

"Send the CP and Science units to support Momousagi and the others. The Science unit has a terrain advantage at the estuary and can play a significant role. If we can intercept their main force outside the estuary and eliminate as many of their troops as possible, those guys hiding in the shadows will definitely have no choice but to show themselves on the front lines."

Lieutenant General Tsuru's eyes gleamed with wisdom and composure:

"It would be very advantageous for us to keep the main battlefield as far away from Mary Geoise as possible and concentrate it at the naval headquarters base."

Listening to Lieutenant General Tsuru's words.

After thinking for a moment, Sengoku nodded: "Then let's do it this way. Send out the science unit and have the intelligence unit escort them."

He looked at his CP0 superior and Steel Bone Sky beside him: "Is this okay?"

"can."

……

After the order was passed down.

The World Government's CP intelligence unit escorted Sentomaru's science unit from Mary Geoise towards the mouth of the Red Earth Continent.

Below the Red Earth Continent at this moment.

Momousagi and Green Bull led the third line of defense, along with Chaton and other warships that had retreated to this location, and gathered at the estuary, ready for battle.

More than a hundred ships from the Beasts Pirates, the Revolutionary Army, and the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates lined up and emerged from the sea ahead. Under the anxious and tense gazes of the Marine soldiers, they slowly but steadily approached the Marine base.

The atmosphere over the entire sea was oppressive and heavy.

The moment the Beasts Pirates got within range of the cannonballs.

Peach Rabbit narrowed her clear eyes.

"Fire!"

Shells were fired simultaneously from the naval base ramparts and from the warships!

Shells rained down in that direction!

The Beasts Pirates and the Revolutionary Army, as well as the Whitebeard Pirates, immediately opened fire.

The deafening roar of artillery fire instantly engulfed the entire sea area.

The cannons roared, and flames soared into the sky.

The seawater burst open.

Explosions continued at sea, and ships and warships swayed back and forth in the raging winds of the explosions.

Both sides, skilled in long-range sniping and long-range Devil Fruit abilities, began to attack each other.

In an instant, the entire sea roared and fire rained down!

"One sword flow, caressing and cutting."

Momousagi drew her sword and slashed.

A sharp sword aura belonging to a great swordsman slashed towards the Beasts Pirates.

But in mid-air, it was blocked by Jack's arms, which were hardened with Armament Haki.

"Lord Quinn, throw me over there."

"One of the Flying Six, Page Van, said to Quinn with a frenzied expression."

"Are you sure? You might die."

"It's ok!"

"I see."

Quinn grabbed him by the collar and, with his incredible strength, threw him toward the naval fleet.

Pevanji transformed into a massive spiny dragon in mid-air and, to the astonishment of the numerous navy personnel, crashed heavily into a warship outside the naval base's fortifications.

"Roar!!"

Transformed into a spiny dragon, he roared to the sky aboard the warship. With a sweep of his tail, he began a frenzied and violent rampage on the ship. His bloodshot eyes swept across the area, causing many sailors to tremble in fear.

Just as it was about to step towards several sailors.

A slash came from mid-air, knocking it back several steps.

Lieutenant General Momonga, draped in a cloak of justice, held a longsword and stared at him coldly: "I can't let you run rampant."
