"Hey, hurry up and take shelter!" After hearing the alarm, the teacher in charge of teaching cultural courses immediately began to organize students to take shelter.
And it's not just Dawn and the others here, there are even some younger children from naval families in nearby classes.
But even with such a quick reaction, Dawn and the others still couldn't avoid the overwhelming attack of the stone lions that rushed towards Marinford.
Fortunately, Dawn's location is behind the Navy Headquarters.
The place where Golden Lion was fighting with Sengoku and Garp was quite far away at the moment, so even if there was a sweeping attack, it was only the aftermath, which was instantly eliminated by a group of instructors.
"Dawn, what should we do? Should we go and take a look?" Hu Niu on the side seemed to like this kind of big scene very much, and her expression at the moment was eager to try.
Dawn glanced at her and thought to himself that he should keep an eye on this guy.
This Tigress had never appeared in the previous anime, and Dawn had previously thought that it was just because she didn't appear, but now Dawn was a little suspicious that it was her love of joining in the fun that ruined her.
For example, in this battle, no one could hold her back, and she ended up dying in the aftermath?
"Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp should have arrived by now, but they haven't subdued the enemy yet. It's obvious that the enemy is very powerful. Are you looking for death?" Dawn lectured him unhappily.
"Well, what should we do? Just take refuge like this? The person coming this time must be an important person, let's take a look~" Sora seemed a little unwilling.
Seeing Sora's desperate desire to go to the front line, Dawn became more certain of his previous idea.
"Sora, this is not a joke. You could lose your life if you are not careful." Tina said seriously, and other people were also trying to persuade Sora.
"Okay, let's evacuate first and ensure the safety of the younger students around us. We'll decide what to do when we get to a safe place." Looking at Sora who looked a little disappointed, Dawn couldn't help but say one more sentence:
"First escort these children, then we have other things to do. Don't forget the wounded and the families of the navy who all need our protection. Even if we can't go to the battlefield, we still have a lot of things to do."
"Really?" Sora's eyes lit up, and Tina and the others looked helpless.
After all, this Hu Niu is a bit of a show-off. She likes to get involved in everything and likes to get involved when there is excitement.
It doesn’t have the majesty of a tiger at all, but rather looks a bit like a Husky.
"Let's go!" Seeing the aftermath of the battle getting closer, Dawn grabbed two children of the navy's families and rushed to the shelter first. The instructor and other officers who rushed over stayed nearby to protect everyone's safety.
Watching Dawn's actions, several people nearby also carried the kids younger than themselves and hurried on their way. Although some of them were crying because of their young age and were really annoying, this was not the time to worry about that. Any grievances could be dealt with later. Life was the most important thing now.

PS: Regarding the official positions of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and Aokiji and others, since there is very little information before the plot begins, most of it is speculation. For example, the Seven Warlords of the Sea existed in the Great Pirate Era, but this proposal was not necessarily made on a whim at the time because of the thought that "Ah, there are so many pirates."
Moreover, the deterrent power of Golden Lion, Roger, Whitebeard, Redfield and others at that time was no less than that of the later Four Emperors. In addition, there was also Cross's crew. Big Mom and Kaido were gradually becoming famous on their own, and the rampage of the times was an accident. So the Seven Warlords of the Sea should have had a plan before the rampage and could have justified themselves.
As for the official rank, Sengoku should be taking over the position of marshal soon, and the three admirals will also be in office soon, so he is set as vice admiral. However, whether it is major general or vice admiral, it will not affect the plot. Everyone should follow the setting of this article. If you can't write an unfinished pirate story, you must not be afraid of being slapped in the face (￣ε(#￣)☆╰╮(￣▽￣///)
Chapter 31 Shock
"boom!!!"
Just as Dawn and others were evacuating under the protection of officers, a stone lion descended from the sky with a roar and an extremely heavy sense of oppression.
"Lanjiao!!"
At the side, a general who was in charge of protecting the safety of Dawn and others took the lead in flying into the air and facing the stone lion.
Walking with moon steps, facing the approaching stone lion, his legs, which had long turned pitch black, brought out extremely sharp and huge blows, and in an instant the stone lion was smashed into a pile of rubble.
But at the moment when it was dragged, the battle here seemed to have attracted the attention of the Golden Lion. In the battle with Garp and the other man, after a large-scale attack, more stone lions roared and rushed towards everyone.
Then, several generals stepped into the sky using the Moon Step. The sonic boom sound caused by the Moon Step stepping on the air echoed in the air.
Along with it, there were hundreds of storm feet that chopped the stone lion into pieces with sharp sounds of breaking through the air.
The naval officers in charge of the escort took action, but the effect was not as good as expected.
The stone lion transformed by the golden lion's attack was essentially just borrowing the power of the Float-Float Fruit to become a lion; its true form was still just stone.
If it cannot be completely crushed, even the rubble can still cause damage as long as it has enough kinetic energy.
Most of the generals were delayed in order to completely destroy the stone lions, but at this moment Dawn also saw three stone lions charging towards Dawn and others!
"Damn it! Run away!" the colonel on guard at the side roared angrily. His face, which had been relaxed after seeing the general's attack, instantly turned gloomy. He took the Moon Step and hurriedly prepared to rush over to stop them.
But even the stone lion attack needs to be taken seriously by generals, and as a colonel-level general of the second tier of current combat power, it requires the joint efforts of more people to block and break it.
For a time, the situation was not optimistic.
"Boom! With a sharp whistling sound in the air, the only fish that escaped the net came whistling with murderous intent! !
In a flash, the stone lion rushed towards the young men in the training camp with ferocity.
At this moment, all the guards around him had been dragged away and were unable to return to help. The only one facing the stone lion was Xiaohe and a younger boy.
"Iron!"
Just when the stone lion was about to roar and attack, Sora, the tiger girl, threw the little guy in her hand to Berigud beside her in an instant, turned around and rushed forward without hesitation!
At this time, Sora transformed into a tiger-like half-orc. The tiger stripes on his forehead formed a Chinese character "王". He looked very imposing, but facing the huge stone lion, it was like hitting a rock with an egg.
"That idiot! Resisting the halo o the empty wall!" Dawn cursed and immediately controlled the air to block Sora.
"Snapped"!
Sora seemed to have hit hard glass in mid-air.
Even after a moment of stagnation, Sora could be seen sliding down the glass-like translucent wall made by Dawn.
Although the facial features were distorted due to the impact, and the animal form is basically unrecognizable.
"Boom! Boom!! Boom!!!"
I saw that the stone lion in front of Sora was blocked by several "empty shields", but the shields were constantly shattered and then regenerated.
"Go!" Dawn yelled at Sora with great effort. At this time, the girl was still a little dizzy from the hit on her head.
"Oh...Oh!" Shaking his dizzy head, Sora immediately stood up and ran in Dawn's direction. After all, he was an animal, so this collision was nothing.
After Dawn blocked the stone lion, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the general next to him had dealt with the previous lion group and was starting to take over the fish that had escaped the net.
The defensive skills developed to deal with the attacks of the Golden Lion are quite good, and the empty shield just now showed quite good defensive power.
It's just that Dawn was afraid that it would affect Sora behind him, so he kept creating another shield to block the stone lion's attack as soon as cracks appeared on the empty shield, so he was able to hold on for so long.
Dawn and the others were the elites of the training camp after all, and they ran all the way to the shelter of the Navy Headquarters in a few moments.
At this moment, the air was filled with the smell of sweat mixed with the smell of rust in the blood, all of which proved the cruelty brought about by this battle.
He called on everyone to go up and help. Even if the injuries were too serious to be helped, simple bandaging, first aid or some chores could still be done.
As for Dawn, because he had demonstrated excellent medical skills, he joined in the first aid of the seriously injured.
But faced with the wailing of the affected navy and their families living in the headquarters, Dawn once again realized the cruelty of this world.
At this moment, the seed of becoming stronger in Dwayne's heart became stronger. He didn't want to become a cannon fodder who had to carefully block even the aftermath when the strong ones fought!
This is the way the world is.
It seems to be a world full of dreams, adventures, and beautiful fantasy, with all kinds of magical islands to play or adventure on, but behind it is incomparable cruelty.
The weak have no choice but to passively accept everything.
As time passed, this battle ended with half of the Navy Headquarters destroyed. Garp and Sengoku captured the Golden Lion and imprisoned him on the sixth floor of the "Undersea Prison".
As the news birds flew in all directions, newspapers flooded in with this major event:
"The captain of the Flying Pirates, the admiral of the Golden Lion Pirate Fleet, a great pirate from the city of "Flying Pirates", attacked the Navy Headquarters. After a fierce battle, he was captured by the Navy hero Garp and Buddha's Sengoku."
Below the text in the newspaper, there was a photo of the Golden Lion in a cage, looking miserable after being arrested.
For a moment, the sea shook again, and the prestige of the navy reached a new level!
Shortly after the arrest of Pirate King Roger, this time he unexpectedly defeated "Golden Lion", one of the four great pirates.
Now, only Whitebeard and Red, who is alone and elusive, are left on the sea.
For a time, rumors spread on the sea and even in the Navy Headquarters that pirates would inevitably decline and perish.
After all, the navy’s record during this period was too dazzling. Needless to say, the Pirate King Roger was captured. In a sense, the record of capturing the Golden Lion, which has many fleets in the New World, was even greater than capturing the Pirate King!
After all, Roger's pirate group only has one ship, while the fleet under Golden Lion has a huge force!
Now that the group is leaderless, the fleet under the Golden Lion will inevitably split.
In addition, what everyone is looking forward to is the execution ceremony of the Pirate King Roger.
As long as the execution in Rogue Town goes smoothly, it will bring an enormous deterrent to the pirates on the sea, and those guys who have not gone out to sea will also see the fate of the pirates.
But people at this moment don’t know that greater turmoil is about to come.
Chapter 32 Heading to the East China Sea
A few days later, somewhere in the sea.
Because of the strategic value of the talents and fruit abilities that he displayed.
In addition, when the golden lion attacked this time, Dwayne led everyone in responding to the attack and performed outstandingly.
Aokiji led Dawn, Tina, Sora and others to the East China Sea to conduct practical training during the period.
This treatment is extremely high. Letting the future general be a nanny for a group of children is such a luxury that it is rare.
What Dawn didn't expect was that the destination of this actual combat was Rogue Town!
In other words, although the Navy asked Aokiji to help spend more time selecting opponents for Dawn and others, the main purpose was to ensure that Roger could be executed smoothly and be responsible for the guard!
Faced with Roger's escort, the navy came out in full force, even Aokiji was in the lead.
This also means that he and others will have the opportunity to witness the upcoming "history".
Thinking of this, Dawn couldn't help but wonder if he, like a butterfly, had flapped his wings and changed the fate of some people?
For example, Sora? And the training camp buddies in his own group who have never appeared in the anime?
Were those people supposed to have died in the Golden Lion's large-scale attack? The survivors probably didn't even have time to grieve for their companions, let alone the actual battle for the reward.
Shaking his head, Dawn put aside this question that was destined to have no answer. The issue he should focus on now was not this.
As mentioned before, their warship is a vanguard fleet.
Because they were escorting Roger, an important prisoner, although Dawn didn't know the fleet's current sailing route, he knew that the ship they were on was heading to the East China Sea, one of the four seas.
The warships responsible for escorting Roger were waiting together densely. The number of fleets and artillery firepower were even more terrifying than the Demon Slayer Order.
