Chapter 15: Celestial Dragons Personally Escort the Celestial Gold? A Marine Force Surpassing the Bu
To be honest, even the Golden Lion hadn't expected that Sengoku would personally escort the Heavenly Gold.
The last time I dealt with the Warring States period was a year ago.
For some reason, the thought of seeing the Warring States period again made Jin Shizi's heart pound and his hands itch!
I want it so badly, I really want to crush the Sengoku period!
"We'll know if there's a big fish by tomorrow at the latest."
"Since even the Sengoku period and so many naval forces are involved, have you made proper plans for this mission?"
"What about the battle plan?"
Brian didn't react as strongly to Sengoku as he did to Shiki; he was just slightly expectant.
This admiral, who would lead the navy for the next few decades, was indeed a powerful and intelligent man.
Unfortunately, Brian hates these kinds of cunning old bastards the most.
He loves making friends with reckless people; they're easy to fool if they don't have brains.
"Oh, this..."
"Does stealing gold from the sky really require a battle plan?"
The golden lion was completely stumped by the question.
It's just robbery. Isn't it all about rushing in headfirst, grabbing everything, killing everyone, and then having a feast?
The Golden Lion is even smarter.
Thanks to the power of the Float-Float Fruit, he would use his ability to bring several ships or islands as cannonballs before charging in.
First, let your opponent experience what it means to suffer damage from the sky, and then continue to overpower them.
As for anything else, that's really all.
Being suddenly asked about the battle plan really touched on a blind spot in his knowledge.
"Sigh~"
Brian looked at the golden lion with its clear eyes, sighed, and said nothing more.
"Alright, let's proceed normally. We'll make our move tomorrow after the Heavenly Gold leaves the Fiore Sea."
"Use the pirate ship you brought with you this time. First, send a barrage of meteors at those marines, and then we'll all attack together."
"Since you have designs on the Warring States period, then it's up to you. Hold him off."
"Leave the rest of the navy to me and your other men. We'll finish this quickly."
"After the battle is over, we'll leave from the sky. There's no need to get entangled with the navy here for too long."
"If the Kingdom of Fiore is blind, we'll deal with them all."
Brian set the tone for tomorrow's battle in just a few words.
"Hehehe, alright, do as you say."
The Golden Lion has no objections; it's best not to make him think, as he's too lazy to think.
"Come on, we still have plenty of time, let's have a banquet first, let's make it lively."
"Let's go then."
The banquet was a tradition in the pirate world, and Brian did not refuse.
Soon, a large pirate ship descended from the sky above the two of them; this was the Golden Lion's vessel.
The two pirate crews began their banquet, which lasted until late at night.
……
The next day.
At the largest port of the Kingdom of Fiore, five naval warships slowly departed the port under the watchful eyes of the ministers on the left and right.
Once the warships were out of sight, the Left Minister of the Kingdom of Fiore breathed a sigh of relief, instantly relaxing.
"Finally, they're gone. These past few days have been incredibly difficult for this old man."
"You bet they are. These Celestial Dragons are really hard to please."
"If I hadn't been smart, I probably would have been killed like the Chancellor of the Exchequer."
The Right Minister, still shaken, expressed his agreement.
A week ago, a Celestial Dragon suddenly arrived in the Kingdom of Fiore and had a sudden idea to take the Celestial Gold back to Mary Geoise himself.
He was accompanied by a large naval escort team consisting of five lieutenant generals and ten major generals, led by Sengoku.
Such a display even surpassed the Navy's highest military order for annihilation.
This outrageous lineup greatly alarmed King Fiore, who personally went out to warmly receive the Celestial Dragons.
As expected of the infamous Celestial Dragons, the arrival of this fat pig has made life difficult for everyone in the Kingdom of Fiore.
"It's such a pity that our princess was violated by the Celestial Dragons and taken as their concubine."
"Who can argue with that? Just thinking about the king's pained yet forced smile makes me lose all face."
"Our Kingdom of Fiore is one of the major nations of the New World, how could it have become like this?"
"Forget it, take it easy. What the outside world says sounds nice, but frankly, aren't we, the member states of the World Government, just the Celestial Dragons' dogs?"
"Faced with these important figures, we can only grit our teeth and accept it. Didn't you see that the Sengoku Vice Admiral didn't say a word?"
"Hmph, the Navy really are the Celestial Dragons' dogs, so loyal."
"Damn it, I really hope someone can punish the Celestial Dragons."
……
While the ministers of the Kingdom of Fiore were standing together indignantly, a small farce was unfolding on a warship that had just left port.
bang~
bang~
"Damn woman, how dare you harm the great God! You deserve to die!"
"And you damned navy man, how dare you disrespect God, you all deserve to die, you deserve to die."
Two gunshots rang out, instantly escalating the tension on the large naval warship, which was protected by four other warships in the center.
Upon closer inspection, the Celestial Dragon sitting on the magnificent golden chair on the deck looked furious.
He held a still-smoking pistol in his hand, and two corpses lay in front of him.
One was a corpse dressed as a maid, and the other was actually the corpse of a naval soldier.
Three minutes ago, his new concubine, Princess Fiore of the Kingdom, accidentally splashed hot water on his hands while serving him.
As a result, the Celestial Dragon suddenly sprang into action, drew his pistol, and killed the princess.
The navy soldiers nearby were also hotheads, and when they saw this situation, they showed some resentment, which was just in time for the Celestial Dragons to see.
And so, another shot was fired, and the unfortunate soldier met his end.
"Naya Saint, please control your behavior. This is on our naval warship, not in Mary Geoise."
Standing to the side, Sengoku's face was ashen, and the veins on his arms bulged; he was furious.
But he remained rational and did not, nor dared to, lay a hand on the assailant.
"Ha, so what if they have naval warships?"
"What, are you going to avenge this Marine? Vice Admiral Sengoku."
"A mere naval soldier dared to disrespect the great God; he deserved to die."
"Your entire navy are just dogs raised by us Celestial Dragons. Do you really think you can betray your master?"
"Believe it or not, when I get back I'll tell my great-grandfather about you guys and he'll cut your naval budget for this year."
Even in front of Sengoku, this Celestial Dragon remained incredibly arrogant, almost brandishing his spear at Sengoku's face.
Sengoku, who had almost been hit hard, was stunned by these words and didn't know how to react for a moment.
Military spending is indeed the navy's Achilles' heel.
The World Government allocates military funds every year, and if the Celestial Dragons deliberately interfere, things could really go wrong.
Especially since the identity of the fat pig in front of him was very different, it was even more troublesome.
