Chapter 88: Monster or Gun Muzzle?
Is the Kingdom of Gaya going to attack Marineford?
Even Stussy herself was terrified by the idea; the conjecture was so frightening that her back was soaked with cold sweat in a short time.
Is this for real? — Has the Golden Emperor become so arrogant that he's going to declare war on the World Government?
If this is true, regardless of whether the Golden Emperor succeeds or fails, this sea will be engulfed in bloodshed.
What she is witnessing is a massive conspiracy that will go down in history.
Just as Stussy was reeling from his own deductions and his mind was reeling, a deep rumble came from the heavy, waterproof gate facing the sea on one side of the underground base.
The gates slid open slowly to both sides, revealing the diving pool that connects to the open sea.
The cold seawater surged, bringing with it a salty, damp airflow.
A medium-sized submarine with a fully coated hull silently glided into the harbor and docked at its berth.
The submarine hatch opened, and a tall man emerged from it.
The man had a crescent-shaped white beard that curled upwards, and he was over six meters tall. Just by standing there, even though there was some distance between them, Stusi could still feel the overwhelming sense of oppression emanating from him.
The man wore a white robe similar to that of a naval admiral, but instead of the word "Justice," there was a golden sun emblem on the back.
Edward Newgate!
He was the former captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, a rising star in the New World, and has now led his entire crew to join the Golden Grand Fleet.
The World Economic News called him "the left hand of the Golden Emperor," while the Gaya Daily revered him as "the Blade of the Empire."
This man actually appeared here, emerging from a coated submarine, which means he was just in the deep sea?
Stussy's heart pounded even faster. Edward Newgate's appearance undoubtedly confirmed the importance of the base and that these deep-sea torpedoes were indeed for a very big purpose.
Filled with the excitement of uncovering the secret, Stussy cautiously moved forward a short distance.
As Newgate stepped onto the dock, a base commander who had been waiting there immediately greeted him with great respect.
"Lord Edward, welcome back. How is the situation underwater?"
From this distance, Stussy could hear Newgate's deep, powerful voice echoing through the empty underground base: "Gurrahrah—don't worry, I've personally scouted all the routes, there's no mistake."
"The seabed there is very stable, suitable for torpedoes to lie in wait and launch. Those sea kings were a bit annoying, but it's okay, I've already driven them away with shockwaves."
Newgate's gaze swept over the giant deep-sea torpedoes being assembled, a hint of emotion in his voice: "Auro's mind is indeed different from ours; he actually managed to lead a team to develop something like this—"
The base leader quickly chimed in, "Yes, the President's wisdom is always astonishing."
"Lord Edward, according to the current progress, all Deepdiver III deep-sea torpedoes will complete their final debugging within forty-eight hours, after which they can be put into launch-ready status at any time."
Newgate nodded, patted the person in charge, making him stumble and almost lose his balance: "You did a great job, but you need to hurry up. After the assembly is complete, send someone to check it several more times. We can't afford to mess things up here."
"Understood, Lord Edward."
The person in charge nodded repeatedly, and even took out a small notebook and notes.
Newgate was very satisfied to see how serious the person in charge was.
I don't know how Oro trained these people. From managers to operatives to researchers, they all look very professional and they're definitely capable.
Newgate recalled Oro's instructions and then said, "After our mission is completed, all personnel will be evacuated in batches and secretly leave via our normally operating merchant ships."
"When the time comes, you and I will be the last to leave, making sure all traces of our activities are cleaned up."
"Yes, sir! We have prepared three evacuation plans and five cleanup plans in advance to ensure there will be no mistakes!"
The conversation between the two was incredibly informative, and it can be said to have completely confirmed Stussy's suspicions.
The Golden Emperor is actually going to attack Marineford, the Navy Headquarters!
Stussy shifted her body quietly; she had to leave immediately and tell—but to whom—this earth-shattering information?
The value and danger of this intelligence were completely beyond her control, and she could easily get herself into trouble.
No matter what, we need to leave here first; we can discuss the rest later when we get back.
Unfortunately, it seems that Stussy's luck ran out when he infiltrated the underground base.
Newgate, who was talking to the person in charge, suddenly turned his head slightly, his eyes scanning Stussy precisely out of the corner of his eye!
"Um?
A slightly surprised groan exploded in Stussy's ears like a thunderclap!
Without any hesitation, Stussy's instincts raced past her brain in that instant. Like a startled rabbit, her body sprang forward, hurtling towards the elevator!
She pushed her speed to the limit, leaving a blurry afterimage in the lamplight.
"Intruder! All personnel on high alert!"
The base leader immediately realized what was happening and shouted loudly.
The piercing alarm instantly resounded throughout the entire underground base!
The guards on duty reacted just as quickly, immediately raising their weapons.
That was not a flintlock rifle commonly found on the sea, but an automatic rifle designed by the Academy of Sciences of the Kingdom of Gaya based on sketches drawn by Oro. It used copper bullets and had a magazine capacity of 42 rounds.
A barrage of hundreds of rifle bullets instantly blocked Stussy's escape route. Stussy had no choice but to abandon her advance and turn to dodge, which inevitably slowed her down.
With this slight delay, an overwhelming pressure swept over her from behind!
It's Conqueror's Haki!
Although this domineering aura was not released at full power, but rather as a precise and targeted deterrent, its domineering nature still caused Stusi to stumble and almost fall to the ground.
Damn Conqueror's Haki! Damn talent monster! Why doesn't she have it!
Stussy gritted his teeth and used various cover to hide in the underground base.
"Gurarara, not bad skills."
Newgate didn't give chase himself; he simply stood there, watching the slender figure flee in a disheveled state: "Even though you managed to sneak in while I was away, you've got some skill to do it."
More Gaya guards surged in from all directions, surrounding the invaders.
Behind him was a monster, and in front of him were hundreds of gun barrels stacked on top of each other, the dense, dark muzzles inspiring fear.
Stussy's heart sank to the bottom.
