Chapter 175 True Strength
Even though Porosalino was stronger, Sengoku could comfort himself with the excuse that he had lost his strength because he became a navy marshal and was busy with work and neglected to exercise.
However, no matter how much he comforted himself, Warring States knew that he had actually reached his upper limit long ago.
Whether it was physical strength, Devil Fruit or three-color Haki, he had already reached that limit, so Sengoku had been mentally prepared to be surpassed from a long time ago.
But the transcendence Sengoku imagined was, at best, Porusalino becoming stronger than Garp, from the point where the two would fight for days and nights with no outcome, to the point where they could defeat him within a few hours. .
Now it seems that he still underestimated Porosalino. If even Poros, who can suppress the two pirate emperors, is not a threat in Porosalino's eyes.
So how long can he last against Porusalino?
"Why are you asking this? Well, taking Lieutenant General Garp as an example, seven or eight of them can probably do it together..."
Porusalino tried to sense Sengoku's thoughts, but Sengoku didn't have much ill will towards him at this time, and the only thing he had was not even the level of envy and jealousy among friends.
Coupled with the fact that Sengoku's knowledge and domineering skills were quite impressive, it was difficult for Porusalino, who had lost the increase in malicious perception, to continue to sense Sengoku's thoughts.
"Seven or eight..."
Hearing Porusalino's answer, Sengoku's heart suddenly stopped beating for a moment.
Although I feel a little bit annoyed that Porusalino uses Garp's old mad dog as a unit of measurement, if seven or eight Garp can defeat him together, it seems that overthrowing the World Government is no longer just a lie!
At least as far as Sengoku knows, the Knights of God and the Army of God, who are the swords and shields in the hands of the Five Old Stars, are not unsolvable existences.
"...Maybe it can make me feel a little bit threatened?"
Porusalino added the second half of the sentence with a smile. To be honest, he wasn't quite sure how strong he was now.
The only thing that is certain is that the entire Marine Fando navy hierarchy must be tied together to make him feel some pressure.
Back then, Esdeath could have a close fight with Porusalino who was in a desperate state, but now, even if Porusalino lets go, Esdeath's chance of winning cannot be more than half.
The prerequisite is that Esdeath has mastered the three-color Haki. Otherwise, Esdeath has no chance of winning.
"...This is no time for joking! Are you sure you have the ability to deal with seven or eight opponents who are similar to Garp at the same time?"
Sengoku shouted angrily in a low voice. It was clear that Porusalino was telling the truth, but the truth was so exaggerated that Sengoku couldn't believe it.
Fortunately, just the example Porusalino used as a joke had already given Sengoku a bold idea.
"Need me to prove it?"
Porusalino sat lazily on his oversized desk and raised his hand casually, his fingertips lit up with bright golden light.
At the same time, Porusalino's Observation Color Haki also temporarily released the aura mask on himself, allowing Sengoku's Observation Color to touch him directly.
Sengoku, who didn't realize what was happening one second, felt a sense of danger on the verge of death the next moment.
Warring States, who had the best knowledge and color, could almost 'see' the scene of his tragic death on the spot. However, just when Warring States subconsciously wanted to transform into a golden Buddha, the sense of crisis that was pressing down like the earth was shattering suddenly disappeared. Without a trace.
"!"
Sengoku, who suddenly lost the oppression, staggered on the spot. Sengoku, who had not made a move for more than ten years at least, still had the strength of a top powerhouse in theory, but in fact he was no longer as brave as before.
Otherwise, if it were Garp or Sakaski, even if faced with the suppression of Porusalino's momentum, they would not be so out of control.
Of course, the premise is that you face an opponent of the same level or even stronger, otherwise the golden Buddha's big penis will not be so cruel as to slap people.
"Asshole! How did you do that?!"
Sengoku, who was suddenly attacked by Porusalino, couldn't help but curse out. However, after he finished scolding, he didn't even have time to be shocked by the strength shown by Porusalino. Instead, he began to wonder how he could achieve this. kind of situation.
There are also strong and weak points among the top experts, otherwise Whitebeard would not have still won the title of the strongest man in the world after Roger became the Pirate King.
Even if Whitebeard later became so old that the navy regarded him as a target for crusade, when the Warring States Period was preparing for the war, Whitebeard still had to be dealt with with the most serious attitude.
When necessary, more than one plan was prepared for the three generals to join forces, but no one expected that Porusalino at that time would be strong enough to defeat two pirate emperors on his own.
Once the strength that had been hidden for many years was revealed, almost the whole world was shocked. Even the title of the strongest, which originally belonged to Whitebeard, fell on Porusalino's head.
But now it seems that Porusalino was still hiding his strength at that time. If Porusalino was at full strength at this time, Sengoku had no doubt that red-haired Shanks would not be able to succeed from Marine Fando. Chance to leave!
"Of course I got this from decades of hard training!"
Porusalino replied confidently, and it might have been more convincing if his eyes hadn't unconsciously drifted upward when he spoke.
"..."
Such inspiring words came out of Porusalino's mouth, but Sengoku wanted to complain.
For decades?
After thinking about what Porusalino has done over the years, Sengoku has to admit that Porusalino is right, he has been doing nothing for decades!
A tough workout?
These four words are placed on Porusalino, and I don’t know why they are particularly weak!
"Forget it, restate your plan again, and I'll help you see if there are any problems..."
Warring States rubbed his forehead. He suddenly felt that it was not a good thing for Porusalino to be so strong. It became impossible to defeat him.
Now is simply not the time to worry about this. Since Porusalino has shown him the possibility of overthrowing the World Government, Sengoku naturally wants to increase this possibility as much as possible.
Between the Navy and the World Government, Sengoku chose the former with little hesitation.
Anyway, even if the Navy rebels now, the Five Old Stars will take advantage of Porusalino to attack the Navy afterwards.
Based on the Warring States Period's understanding of the Five Old Stars, this outcome is almost inevitable!
For the Five Old Stars and the World Government, having too strong a navy is the original sin.
Just when Porusalino was having a showdown with Sengoku and was getting a strong supporter for his side, an unprecedented quarrel broke out among the five old stars of Malinfando.
The attack of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates, for the Five Old Stars, is no less than waking up from sleep and suddenly finding that a robber with a knife has reached his bed.
The most hateful thing was that not only did his 'guards' fail to stand up and stop the robber immediately, they were also vaguely suspected of colluding with the robber.
In this case, Saint Wuchuli, who had the closest relationship with the Navy and was the first to receive the information, naturally became the best target for the other four Five Old Stars to vent their anger and dissatisfaction.
"That's enough! Those despicable pirates are about to attack Mariejoia, how long will you continue to argue here!"
Saint Wuchuli roared angrily. He felt a little guilty at first, but the endless accusations from the other four five elders made Saint Wuchuli, who was used to being superior, unable to bear it anymore.
Although there is no substantial difference in status between the five old stars, they are still strong and weak based on their different responsibilities and directions.
Normally, Saint Wuchuli is the relatively strong one, ranking second only to Saint Maz, who has the best relationship with the Tianlong people.
Seeing that Saint Wuchuli couldn't help but get angry, and without Saint Maz making a statement, the other three five old stars could not continue to pursue the case.
"Can the navy catch up? Isn't that guy Porusalino in Marineland? If he takes all the navy out immediately, he should still have time to stop the pirates at sea, right?!"
Saint Satan suppressed his anger and took the initiative to ask. In the 800 years since the establishment of the World Government, apart from Fisher Tiger, a bold fishman, Mary Joa has never suffered an external attack.
Even though they now have hope of eternal life, Saint Satan does not want to bear the reputation of 'the most incompetent Five Old Stars in the world'.
If those pirates really set foot on Mariejoia's land, the majesty of the World Government might be completely destroyed!
"Based on the distance between Marineventor and the Holy Land, as long as Mariejoia persists for a day or two, the navy should be able to catch up..."
Saint Nashoulang said solemnly, compared to his companions who could not hide their anger, as a relatively radical member of the Five Old Stars, Saint Nashoulang was able to remain calm in critical moments.
Continuing to blame each other and even quarrel will not help. Only by recruiting troops as soon as possible to repel or even eliminate the enemy can a worse situation be avoided.
"The question now is... our Marshal Porusalino seems to have some thoughts that he shouldn't have?" Saint Peter looked at Saint Vauciuli with a gloomy face. In order to satisfy the greedy bastard Porosalino East and West, the dignified five old stars had to put down their bodies to argue with the kings of the participating countries.
It took a lot of effort to collect the huge military expenditures demanded by the Navy. However, after so long, the Navy was not as obedient as before.
In Saint Pit's opinion, this is all due to the poor discipline of Saint Vauchuli, who was closest to the navy in the past!
"I will find a way to solve the problem with the Navy, but you also have to help, otherwise the Navy will not be able to mobilize enough troops to repel those pirates for a while!"
Holy Wuchuli gritted his teeth and said fiercely. What he regretted most at this time was that when Cyborg Kong was forced to abdicate, in order to win over the Navy, he accepted the proposal of the Navy Headquarters and directly promoted a Admiral was promoted to Admiral.
Now that I think about it, starting from the Warring States Period, the navy became more and more disobedient, and finally a rebellious guy like Porusalino appeared.
"I will persuade all the Celestial Dragons to lend me bodyguards, and together with Mariejoia's bodyguards, I should be able to gather 5,000 people..."
Maz Sheng pondered for a moment, and then took the initiative to find the important person from the Celestial Dragon.
Seeing that the enemy was about to attack Marie Joa, at this time, even if he knew that it would be troublesome to ask for someone from the Celestial Dragons, he really had no choice.
"Not enough! The mobilization of God's army takes time, and the Knights of God cannot go into battle immediately. All guards must be forcibly recruited. Together with Mariejoia's guards, there must be at least 20,000 people!"
Nashou Langsheng said categorically that each Tianlong was surrounded by dozens to hundreds of guards, and the number of all recruited was quite considerable.
Moreover, the strength of these guards is relatively strong. Coupled with Marie Joa's well-equipped guards, 20,000 people are worth at least 60,000 to 70,000 pirates.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Although the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates have formed an unprecedentedly large fleet, the Beasts and BIGMOM Pirates alone cannot achieve such a huge scale.
If nothing else, most of the more than 200,000 pirates are just a mob, so there is no need to overestimate their combat effectiveness.
"...Okay, I believe the Tianlong people should be able to understand how serious the current situation is."
Maz Sheng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed.
It is not an easy task to get people from the Celestial Dragons, not to mention that according to the request made by Saint Nashou Lang, almost all the Celestial Dragons' guards must be dragged onto the battlefield.
Even if you are a five-old star, it is not easy to deal with so many Tianlong people at once.
Fortunately, the threat from the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates is imminent, and there is a precedent of the Rocks Pirates almost conquering the Valley of Gods, so there is no need to worry that the Celestial Dragons will not take it seriously.
"The World Government Headquarters can probably pull out 10,000 armed personnel. If there are more, there will be nothing we can do..."
Saint Satan scratched his fluffy hair and said with a headache.
Although the headquarters of the World Government is in Mariejoia, the number of armed forces stationed at the headquarters is quite limited, and most of them are civilian personnel.
Even top warriors like Cyborg Sora and Sengoku will inevitably continue to decline in combat effectiveness no matter how hard they train after leaving the frontline combat environment.
What's more, these world government bureaucrats who have limited strength in the first place rely on their family background and connections to climb to high positions.
The other Five Old Stars nodded in unison. Armed force was indeed not the strong point of the World Government Headquarters. Ten thousand people were already pretty good.
"I will urge the governments of all the participating countries in the nearby sea areas to send all their troops. It is expected that 20,000 to 30,000 troops will arrive in Mariejoia in three days, more than 50,000 troops are expected to arrive in Mariejoia after seven days, and it will probably reach 300,000 troops in one month!"< br>
Peter Saint was obviously well prepared, and he quickly took out a statistical document that recorded the current military strength of each member country of the World Government.
Especially for those alliance countries that are relatively close to Mariejoia, even the personal information of the military commanders is clearly written.
The level of detail of this kind of confidential information has exceeded the normal scope. It is obviously not possible to collect such comprehensive information in a day or two.
However, the expressions on the faces of the five old stars present did not change much when they saw such slightly malicious information.
It was obvious that they had known this for a long time, and some of the incomplete information was collected under the orders of Wulaoxing himself.
"One month is too late. Considering the distance between that group of madmen and Marie Joa, the battle to defend the Holy Land will officially begin in no more than seven days!"
Nasushiro Sage very seriously spread out a beautiful chart on the table, which had marked the location of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates' fleet.
In the center of the map is the holy land of Mariejoia where the Five Old Stars are located. Even for people who know nothing about the sea, it is not difficult to feel that the enemy is less than a slap away from the pirate fleet and Mariejoia on the map. The urgency is approaching step by step.
"Wait a minute, can't we try to stop those pirates at sea?"
Saint Satan is still unwilling to give up. There are pirates trying to attack Mariejoia, which is already a disgrace to the World Government, let alone the despicable pirates who set foot on Mariejoia's land. Once such a thing happens, If it happens, no matter how they make amends afterwards, they will most likely become the disgrace to the Five Old Stars of all ages.
Even this is not the worst. After all, they have pure gold in their hands and have an almost unlimited lifespan. In theory, there will be no new Five Old Stars that can replace them.
But if that gang of pirates invades Mariejoia, even if they are the Five Old Stars, they will not be able to bear the consequences of disturbing Lord Im!
"It's too late. Now, in the direction where the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates are heading, apart from G1, there are only two naval branches, 114 and 028. They are both small and medium-sized branches without fortresses. It is impossible to stop those pirates. …”
Nashouro Sage explained that until now, this five-old star still finds it incredible that the CP organization has placed hundreds of agents in the new world. As a result, the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates have come to the city, and they actually Just received the news.
It’s just that it’s too late now to investigate which link went wrong. In other words, compared to finding possible traitors and traitors, keeping Marie Joa is the top priority!
"What about the Army and the Kamishita Army? If that bastard Porusalino plays tricks, the only ones we can rely on in the end are the Army and the Kamishita Army..."
Saint Satan thought for a while, but still felt that he could not place all his hopes on Porusalino.
After all, Porusalino has proven more than once in the past that he has a lot of experience in disappointing the five old stars!
"Unless it is absolutely necessary, the Shenxia Army must conserve its strength as much as possible! We can give priority to mobilizing the army to participate in the war. Mary Joa plus the army around the Red Earth Continent, the total number of people is about 35,000..."
Saint Nashoulang was obviously much calmer than the others. He had also experienced big scenes when he was young. Long before he became the Five Old Stars, he had already served as the supreme commander of the Army and the Divine Army.
Although compared with the huge navy, the army and the Kamija Army are far inferior in size and advanced combat power, but as two of the three armies under the World Government, they can mobilize at any time even around Mariejoia. A considerable number of troops.
"Coupled with the CP agents and instructors currently on duty and training near Marie Joa, there will probably be about 10,000 people..."
Saint Wuchuli frowned, silently calculating the possibility of being able to resist the enemy with the army he had put together at the moment, but the result was obviously not very optimistic.
Even considering that most of the pirates in the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates are just trash fish, those 200,000 people are pirates of the New World after all.
Compared to the temporary army assembled by the Five Old Stars, it is hard to say which side has a lower average level, especially the main force of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates are the two great pirate groups, Baijuju and BIGMOM!
Considering the strength shown by Whitebeard and the Red-Haired Pirates during the War on the Top, there is a big question mark as to whether the World Government can defend Mariejoia.
"Where's the red-haired guy? If he's willing to help..."
Saint Pit gritted his teeth and looked at the others, actually wanting to use the power of pirates to fight against another group of pirates.
Anyway, this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing. They were able to join forces with the Roger Pirates to deal with the Rocks Pirates in the Valley of Gods, and now they can naturally join forces with the Red Hair Pirates to fight against the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates. group.
What's more, Shanks has a special background. With his identity as a Celestial Dragon and the relationship between his father, Fegaland Garin-sei, it is natural for the red-haired pirates to fight for the World Government.
After it spread, one could also use the excuse that the Red Hair Pirates fought against the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates to compete for hegemony in the new world.
After hearing Peter Saint's almost 'rebellious' suggestion, the expressions on the faces of the other Five Old Stars did not change much.
Obviously, compared with the troubles that Shanks' identity as a pirate may bring, whether he can keep Marie Joa is the key that the Five Old Stars care about most.
"It's too late. The red-haired guy always does whatever he wants. No one knows where he will run on a whim. It's not easy to find him..."
Holy Wauchuuri shook his head. It was not that easy to take advantage of Red-haired Shanks, especially after the Red-haired Pirates were severely damaged by Porusalino and even the vice-captain lost an arm. Know where the red-haired pirates are now.
"So after seven days, Marie Joa will be able to muster at least 95,000 troops? Almost 100,000 people should be able to stop those pirates, right? As long as they can wait until the navy arrives, the subsequent reinforcements will definitely be able to repel or even eliminate them. Get rid of the madmen who dare to desecrate the holy place! ”
Saint Satan touched his chin and spoke optimistically.
Although most of these 100,000 people are trash and cannon fodder, there are also elites such as CP agents and instructors.
Moreover, their mission is only to stop the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates and delay the arrival of the navy and subsequent reinforcements, which is more than enough for Satan Saint.
"It's not enough! Release all the slaves in the Holy Land, give them weapons, and give them the glory of defending the Holy Land!"
However, this idea was quickly rejected by Nas Shou Lang Sheng. Compared with the other five old stars, Nas Shou Lang Sheng was not only slightly stronger than half of them, he had also experienced a real war.
In his eyes, no matter how many cannon fodders there are, they are just cannon fodder. When facing those troublesome guys from the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates, an army of one hundred thousand is just a number on paper.
