Chapter 392: Those who are anxious are the losers
Exactly the instant Roy made his move to dissolve the attacks of the incoming attackers and Sengoku announced "the execution begins".
From within the military formations of Marineford, the Marines who had long been extremely nervous all heard the commander's voice say "Fire".
Subsequently...
BOOM!
Bang!
Bang!
Cannon fire resounded like a play with the curtain raised.
Among the numerous cannons on the shores of Marineford, pitch-black cannonballs shot out, bombarding the sea surface.
But the cannonballs that were clearly about to hit the Moby Dick or the Red Force were without exception met in advance the next moment by a blade light and a gunshot, exploding into dazzling firelight in the air.
And when that firelight dissipated, people finally saw the swordsman holding twin swords who slowly landed, and the man holding a musket with a calm face.
"It's 'Vista of the Flower Swords'!"
"And 'Chaser' Yasopp!"
The spectators watching the live broadcast naturally recognized these two great pirates belonging to the Four Emperors.
But this was clearly just the beginning.
"Boys, land immediately, save Luffy!"
"Oh oh oh oh!" *N
At this time, the pirates also collectively let out massive roars.
At the same time...
"Come on, specially prepared for saving the child of Leader Dragon..."
On the ships of the Revolutionary Army, a smug smile appeared on Lindbergh's cat face.
"Hey, bring it up quickly!"
He called out to his adjutant "Gambo" behind him, and the latter also nodded with a smile.
The next moment, firelight also burst forth from the cannons of the Speedy Long-Haired Cat.
Bang!
Bang!
But what flew out from the firelight were not cannonballs, but massive boxes.
Clack clack!
Clack clack!
The numerous boxes continuously emitted clacking mechanical sounds in the air, and then grew against the wind amidst everyone's horrified gazes.
A moment later, they actually turned into massive "covered bridges", flying towards all directions of the entire Marineford and grafting themselves onto the sea surface.
"Hoh hoh hoh, witness the power of science—Emergency Temporary Landing Device, PDCH-4189!"
"A portion of 'Pluton Alloy' has been added to them. Normal cannons don't have the possibility of destroying them!"
Lindbergh laughed loudly.
Clearly, this Chief Scientist of the Revolutionary Army had prepared well in advance for this war.
Seeing this, some pirates were also overjoyed: "Hoh, good cat, you really helped a lot!"
Everyone knew that what Marineford faced this time was a "landing operation".
The first test the pirates and the Revolutionary Army had to pass was "landing on the island"—for this, the Marines had ambushed quite a few weapons and naval mines on the path to land on the island.
But now, Lindbergh's invention clearly allowed them to skip this first line of defense.
The significance of this was naturally very significant.
"Who are you calling a cat? I'm a Mink, you rude gu—Hm!?"
And Lindbergh was angrily refuting at this time.
But the next moment, he saw...
VMMM!
Golden waves instantly swept over, and violent power wrapped around one of the "covered bridges".
And the next moment...
Zzt!
From within those golden waves, unbelievably intense black-red Conqueror's Haki lightning abruptly burst forth.
And arriving together with the Haki lightning were frost and flames.
Thus...
Zzt!
Zzt!
Lindbergh watched in horror as that covered bridge, which had a considerable purity of Pluton Alloy added to it and could even withstand the bombardment of the most advanced cannon groups in his tests, was strikingly shattered the next moment.
"That is..."
Thus, Lindbergh right now also looked at the figure that launched the attack—that was exactly the man who made a move not long ago and blocked their first wave of attacks.
"Star Hunters Unit Deputy Commander... 'Black'!"
Lindbergh's words were solemn.
The legend of the Marines of this era, the symbol of justice.
"As expected, just like the legends... he's a monster."
Looking at that posture wreathed in golden light all over like a god, Lindbergh scratched his head: "Damn it, one was destroyed..."
"Don't worry, Lindbergh."
Before Lindbergh finished his words, Dragon's voice had already come from the Transponder Snail in front of him.
"A revolution is not accomplished overnight. Since we've come here... we must be prepared for a protracted battle."
Dragon's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.
"Those who are anxious are the losers."
At the same time.
Marineford, Tenshukaku.
Under the circumstances that almost all general-level executives had already headed to the plaza to fend off the enemy.
The Tenshukaku, originally the most heavily guarded place in Marineford, naturally became the place with the laxest defense.
Most areas inside the entire Tenshukaku didn't even have soldiers guarding them, only a few cameras.
The only exception was at the bottom of the Tenshukaku.
Here, there were still a few soldiers standing guard.
"Hey, fighting has broken out outside!"
"Both Four Emperors and the Revolutionary Army are here, and it's said there are even samurai from Wano Country... Are we really not going to help?"
"Yeah, although the warehouse is important, now is not the time to look after this place, right, Captain?"
The soldiers all looked at their captain at this time.
As soldiers of Marine Headquarters, they were naturally considered elite soldiers in the various branches.
Moreover, they were soldiers directly under Marine Admiral "Akainu"—due to Akainu's style, they were sharper towards evil and also more eager to establish merits and achievements.
"The order we received is to guard this place, it's the order of Admiral Akainu... and it was even issued personally by the Fleet Admiral!"
But clearly, their captain—a Marine Headquarters Lieutenant Commander—spoke seriously.
"Normally, this place is looked after by more than two generals and an elite unit of hundreds of people."
He looked at his subordinates with a deep voice, using these words to express the importance of their mission.
"..."
After hearing this, the marines naturally looked at each other in dismay.
"But..."
But quickly, someone still said somewhat disbelievingly and also somewhat unwillingly: "No one will come here at all, and we don't even know what we are guarding..."
While speaking, they looked behind them.
There, was the thing they were guarding—that was a massive door.
On the door was the emblem of the "World Government", and the entire door seemed to be made of "Seastone".
They had also heard some elite Marines mention that this was the door leading underground beneath the Tenshukaku, called the "Gate of Justice".
But as to what specifically was underground behind the door, they had absolutely no idea.
"I heard this below seems to be a 'supplies warehouse'?"
"I heard it was a weapons warehouse..."
They muttered.
But undoubtedly, whether it was a supplies warehouse or a weapons warehouse, it clearly wasn't considered important in their eyes at this moment—after all, the Four Emperors and the Revolutionary Army had fought to their doorstep.
"You guys..."
And seeing that the marines still seemed to have opinions, the Lieutenant Commander also furrowed his brows and wanted to speak.
But exactly as he spoke.
"!!!"
His expression changed strikingly.
Because at this time, he had clearly seen—in front of him, a figure had appeared.
"Ene-"
He didn't have time to see the other party's appearance clearly, and didn't even have time to shout the second word.
Thump!
The next moment, he felt a pain in his neck, his vision went black, and his figure collapsed weakly to the ground.
And in his last peripheral vision before falling unconscious.
He seemed to see clumps of sprinkling starlight.
