Chapter 197 Backup Plan

Chapter 197 Backup Plan
After figuring out what the explosive rock was, the faces of the two deputy legion commanders from the allied countries suddenly became extremely ugly.

Their soldiers were fighting bloody battles for the World Government on the front lines, fighting against monsters that could easily freeze the sea, and the hundreds of thousands of New World pirates led by her.

But the World Government hid it from them and buried a horrible bomb capable of destroying an island beneath the positions where those loyal soldiers were stationed.

Even now that the coastal defense line has been breached, there are still many soldiers from allied nations fighting the pirates on the front lines. Before the defense line was breached, there were at least 20,000 soldiers stationed there.

In other words, even the more than 20,000 soldiers from allied countries who fight for the World Government are nothing more than pawns that can be sacrificed at any time in the eyes of these guys!
"Since no one has any objections, let's activate the backup plan!"

Cyborg Sora ignored the angry faces of the two deputy legion commanders who were of noble birth, and gave the order without any hesitation.

He knew too well these nobles who lived in despicable circumstances under the rule of the World Government. Perhaps they might jump out to oppose it out of anger, but as long as they were given some time to think and calm down, most of the nobles of the member states would quickly lose the courage to fight against the World Government.

This is also why when Borsalino and Sora formulated the plan to replace the World Government, neither Borsalino nor Sora took the ideas of the member governments into consideration from beginning to end.

As long as these fence-sitters realize that the world government is doomed, they, who are accustomed to submitting to power, will kneel down at the feet of Borsalino and the navy without hesitation.

Doberman looked a little embarrassed, and tried to persuade Marshal Kong not to be so cruel. After all, his subordinates were still bleeding and sacrificing on the front line. Even if it was for the World Government, he should at least calm down the other party's emotions.

However, the commander of Marijoa's guards, after exclaiming at the beginning, watched the whole process coldly and even chose to stand on the side of Cyborg Sora.

His position was very correct. No matter how many soldiers from the allied countries or even the guards who originally belonged to Mary Geoise died, it would not harm the interests of him as the commander of the guards.

Even if the Holy Land Guard Corps was wiped out in this battle, as long as he could defend Mary Geoise, it would still be a merit that would allow him to enjoy it for the rest of his life.

On the contrary, if Marijoa was lost, then even if he retained more power from the Holy Land Guard Corps, he would still be doomed to become a stray dog, or even be regarded as a traitor, and might even be hunted down by those guys from CP0.

"...These bastards..."

The deputy commander who once served in the army of a member country couldn't help but curse inwardly, and actually wanted to stand up and oppose Cyborg Sora's decision.

However, he was stopped calmly by the third deputy legion commander, the king of the Chelo Kingdom.

Facts have proved that Cyborg Kong's stereotype of these member country nobles is correct. Compared with the captain of the guard who still has some blood and military habits, the king of the Chelo Kingdom, after weighing the pros and cons, finally chose to abandon the member country soldiers on the front line.

The reason they were able to arrive in time to reinforce Marijoa was because they were all die-hard fans of the World Government.

A group of soldiers who could be recruited again even if they all died, in exchange for the opportunity to maintain their status or even make further progress, was a perfect deal in the eyes of the king of the Chero Kingdom.

"Didn't you hear my order?"

Cyborg Kong glanced coldly at the shocked staff officer who had not yet recovered from his shock, and silently made a note of the Five Elders who had sent this kind of trash to serve him.

"Ah... yes!"

The young staff officer had not yet realized that he had been disliked by Marshal Kong and was still immersed in fear of Marshal Kong's almost cold-blooded backup plan.

However, his body still consciously ran to convey Cyborg Sora's order. The front-line staff who received the order quickly issued a start-up command to the explosive rock device in the corresponding area through the Den Den Mushi network.

Standing in the center of the command hall, Cyborg Sora had a blank expression on his face, and was not moved by the fact that he was about to wipe out tens of thousands of lives.

For Cyborg Sora, who was born into an army family and served in the army all his life, bloodshed and sacrifice in the army were inevitable. As long as it could achieve a big enough result, even he himself could be sacrificed.

Not to mention that after the coastal defense line was breached, the Holy Land Guard Corps on the front line had already been defeated, and most of the pirates still in the explosion area are from the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates.

According to Borsalino's idea, the best outcome is naturally the destruction of the World Government and the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates together, and the second best outcome is that the World Government is destroyed and the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates are severely damaged.

The worst outcome is that the World Government has been destroyed, but the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates still retain most of their strength.

In that case, it would be unrealistic to want to eliminate all the pirates. Without the extremely attractive target of the World Government, it would be difficult to guarantee that the pirates would not take the opportunity to escape.

Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of pirates who have withstood the harshest test of war are now scattered across the boundless ocean. It is almost impossible to completely wipe them out, at least that's what Cyborg Hollow thinks.

At this time, the pirates on the coastal defense line were still cheering for landing in Red Harbor. Even the most arrogant pirates never thought that they could break through the "gate" of the holy land of Marijoa so smoothly.

"Hahaha! Guys, follow me! All of Marijoa's treasures are ours!"

"I want to be the first pirate to land on Marijoa!"

"Then I will reluctantly accept the heads of the Five Elders as my collection!"

……

The excited pirates had no idea that there was explosive rock buried under their feet that was enough to destroy everything, and everyone was rushing forward desperately.

But even so, the pirates who still retained the last bit of rationality still consciously avoided the battlefield between Esdeath and Sakaski.

Ice and fire!
A female general from another world vs a top-level admiral of the navy!
Compared to Borsalino, who slacked off and played dirty, and Kuzan, who claimed to be lazy and just, but was often lazy, Sakaski had always been the most diligent and conscientious member of the original three admirals.

Although due to the difference in strength, its deterrent effect on the big pirates is not as strong as Borsalino, but in the minds of most ordinary pirates, Sakaski is definitely one of the navy they least want to encounter.

Sakaski's hatred of pirates made him vote in favor of Marshal Kong's backup plan after learning about it.

Therefore, after seeing the warning signal raised by the command headquarters, Sakaski no longer cared about the opponent in front of him, and directly transformed into an element to avoid Esdeath's attack, and then turned around and ran without hesitation. It is true that the elemental transformation of the natural devil fruit can be immune to most damage, even a volcanic eruption cannot hurt Sakaski.

But Explosive Rock is not an ordinary bomb. It is one of the few super weapons that even Vegapunk has not been able to study thoroughly. It can only use technical means to barely maintain its stability and can be used to wipe out an area when needed.
No one knows whether the elementalization of nature can save lives when the explosive rock explodes. Anyway, the observation Haki that is frantically warning in Sakaski's mind at this moment thinks it cannot.

"cut!"

Esdeath, who suddenly lost her opponent, also sensed the crisis of the ground beneath her feet that was about to explode. Although she did not know the existence of the explosive rock, the terrifying pressure that seemed to be challenging Boros still made the warlike Esdeath give up the idea of ​​​​entanglement with Sakaski.

The two top warriors ran away separately, and the remaining senior fighters quickly sensed the danger. Those with quick minds immediately followed Esdeath and the rest subconsciously followed suit when they saw others running away.

By the time some intermediate fighters who were good at observation Haki realized that something was wrong, it was already too late.

'Boom boom boom boom boom...'

Countless dazzling rays of light rose from the ground, as if countless red suns rose simultaneously on the horizon!

The light that broke through the ground instantly illuminated Red Harbor and the sea, as if making the whole world brighter. Even in Mary Geoise, ten thousand meters above sea level, one could clearly see the bright light of Red Harbor's explosion.

The dazzling light quickly dimmed and turned into orange-red fireballs. With this change, the ground outside the entire Red Harbor was arched up high.

The ground could not withstand this upward force, and the flat coastline quickly formed a smooth arc, as if it was not a fortress made of reinforced concrete, but flowing water that could change its shape at will.

At the top of the arc are balls of red fire, which are still rising, just like the rising sun in the morning!
In the blink of an eye, smoke and flames erupted from the ground, completely tearing the already curved ground into pieces!
Pillars of lava shot up into the sky, and billowing black smoke gathered into a huge mushroom cloud in the sky, which was almost as high as the holy land of Marijoa in the clouds.

Even the Red Earth Continent trembled slightly because of the earth-shaking explosion. The power of the explosion almost swallowed up one-third of Red Harbor. The sea surface was blown back hundreds of meters by the blast, revealing the coral reefs hidden deep under the sea.

The huge tsunami caused by the blast first engulfed hundreds of pirate ships, and then swept towards the direction of Red Port, sweeping thousands of "lucky ones" who had managed to survive on the edge of the explosion into the deep sea.

"What...what is this?!!!"

"Asshole! I'm not going to fight anymore! The World Government is a bunch of lunatics!"

"Ahhhhhhhh! I'm going to fight them!"

……

The pirates who had penetrated deep into Red Harbor managed to survive, but after witnessing the terrifying power of the Dynamite Rock and watching their companions being swallowed up by the explosion, most of the pirates were frightened to death, and some even fell into a state of madness.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Holy Land Guard Corps did not take the opportunity to launch an attack. They were also shocked and panicked by the explosion. Who could have thought that the world government they were fighting to protect would be so cruel.

You should know that when the explosion occurred, there were at least thousands of soldiers of the Holy Land Guard Corps still holding the coastal defense line, and in the area affected by the explosion, there were at least several thousand defenders fighting with the pirates.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, these people were taken away by the explosion and the subsequent tsunami. The World Government didn't even care about their lives and didn't issue a single order to retreat from beginning to end.

In addition to feeling grief over the death of the rabbit, many soldiers who came to their senses were also terrified. You know, many of them were evacuated from the coastal defense line. If they were not lucky enough to stay away from the explosion area, they would have been killed by the explosion or drowned even if they were not hacked to death by the pirates.

"Humph, as expected of a member of the Cyborg family, Kong is doing a really good job!"

At this time in the holy land of Marijoa, the Five Elders, who had already arranged everything, were observing the battle situation through the image Den Den Mushi.

Seeing that Cyborg Kong killed tens of thousands of pirates with just a single order, Saint Satan actually showed a smile of approval on his face.

"But the coastal defense line he advocated fell too quickly. It couldn't even withstand the first round of attacks from those pirates..."

Nasujuro Sei shook his head and spoke with a little dissatisfaction.

You know, in order to support Cyborg Sora, they suppressed the protests of many nobles from the member countries.

As a result, a huge amount of manpower and material resources were wasted, and even the reorganization and training of the Holy Land Guard Corps was delayed. The coastal defense line that was built with great difficulty was easily broken by the attack of the pirates of the first squadron.

This made Nasujiro Sei doubt Cyborg Sora's judgment and ability, and he became dissatisfied with him.

"Haha, no one expected that the pirates would send out such a powerful character to lead the charge. This can't be blamed on Kong. Besides, didn't he send Sakaski to stop them the first time?"

Peter Saint advised with some amusement that now was the time to use manpower. They had many capable fighters, but only Cyborg Sora could command such a large scene.

What's more, Cyborg Sora has always been loyal to the World Government and them. Although there seems to be some intelligence targeting him recently, the Five Elders have never doubted Cyborg Sora's loyalty.

"Speaking of which, who is that woman? Why does she look familiar to me?"

Saint Vochuli stroked his beard, feeling somewhat puzzled. There were not many people on the sea who could fight on equal terms with Sakaski.

If it weren't for the fact that the other person was a woman and her body shape didn't match at all, Saint Wochuli might have thought that the other person was Kuzan in disguise.

"She is nothing but a scoundrel who is trying to fight against the World Government. Once the Holy Mother Flame arrives, she will be dead no matter where she comes from!"

Saint Satan raised his staff and nodded with contempt. After seeing with their own eyes the amazing killing power of the Explosive Rock, the Five Elders' confidence in the Holy Mother's Flame increased greatly.

Just dozens of explosive rocks wiped out tens of thousands of despicable pirates. Could the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates, a mere group, really be able to resist the Holy Mother Flame, a weapon that could destroy a nation?
