Starting from pirates and conquering all worlds

The Kingdom of Thutmose, as mentioned before, is a desert country, but it is different from Alabasta because it is located in the South China Sea and has normal seasonal changes, and its most beautiful season is winter.

In winter, the entire island will be covered with snowflakes, covering the golden sand sea with a layer of ice and snow. The mixed scene of white and gold gives people a visual beauty.

Although the entire kingdom is a medium-sized island, there is only one city called Shabak, or Sand City for short.

A vast land with few people, a desert environment, and a city all give people the impression of being weak and poor. Even the pirate ships passing by are too lazy to come up and waste time.

But what the world doesn't know is that beneath the surface capital of Shabak, there is an extremely wide underground space. The layers of buildings are flashing with bright yellow lights, and people are coming and going with shouts and screams. , wailing and crying, it seems that every air here is filled with despair and pain.

I saw a soldier wearing a green collar, wearing a white robe, holding a whip, a tomahawk, a spear or a musket, patrolling and guarding everywhere. Each of their faces had no expression and looked extremely... Terrible.

Looking into the distance, you can see the tallest and eye-catching pyramid building, which is the real palace of the Kingdom of Thutmose.

Just now, King Taklama, the famous ‘Slave King’ in the dark world, had received news that the Navy’s fleet was about to capture him.

But there was no reaction from him sitting on the golden throne, and the senior subordinates below could not see the king's expression.

Because King Taklamah wears a golden mask on his face, and his clothes are more typical of the pharaoh style, with white robes, wide neck ornaments and a golden scepter in his hand.

In the main hall made of huge stones, stood four senior officials wearing white robes, and a strong guard warrior stood on both sides.

Your Majesty, do we need to prepare to evacuate? One of them hesitated and asked first.

King Taklama, who was sitting on the throne, asked back.

How many people, how much treasure, and how many ships can be evacuated in about two hours?

Well. The official hesitated and asked, Then shall we notify the slave catchers outside to come back for support?

No.

King Taklama seemed to have his own ideas and rejected him immediately.

The total number of slave catchers is only ten thousand, and there are less than two thousand here in the South China Sea. There are even fewer who can come back in a short time. It doesn't matter whether they come or not. Even if ten thousand people can come back, what's the use. They are not meant for combat.

What do you mean? the official asked doubtfully.

What I mean is that we must evacuate. Now that we have been brought to the light, we must find a way to return to the darkness!

The King of Taklama, who was decked out in gold, stood up from his throne, clearly revealing his two-meter-tall strong body. His cold mask looked down at the four people below.

But now the first fleet of the navy has arrived at the door. If you want to retain most of your strength, you must defeat them first, and then escape into the darkness before the second batch of stronger fleets arrives!

After listening, the four officials suddenly understood and understood the thoughts of His Majesty the King.

Two hours is enough for us to prepare for war. At the same time, prepare the ships. After defeating the naval fleet, immediately transfer the large troops and all necessary supplies and treasures!

Yes, Your Majesty.

But do you bring those slaves with you? another official asked, because for their Thutmose Kingdom, slaves were the main source of income.

Bring 50,000 of the best quality slaves, and let the rest sleep under this desert. It can be considered a good burial place. King Taklama made the decision without mercy.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Again the officials responded in unison, and no one said a word for the abandoned slaves, for if they dared to speak out, they would immediately become one of them.

Have you found any information about Major General Dolag and Major General Ivan? King Taklama asked.

Your Majesty, Major General Ivan, according to the information from the slave catchers on the Grand Line, is a very outstanding swordsman, but other than that, there is nothing noteworthy. Instead, Major General Dorag It needs your attention.

Oh, he is an esper?

No, the information the slave catchers found is that he is a person without abilities, but his identity is very special.

Tell me.

Yes, Major General Dolag, whose full name is Monchi D. Dolag. He is the son of the naval hero Lieutenant General Monchi D. Karp. It is said that this is the first time he has led a large-scale military operation as the chief officer. Task.

Hearing Garp's name, King Taklama's eyes under the golden mask became solemn. As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless, but as the slave king of the dark world, he knew many things that ordinary people could not access.

Most civilians believe that the reason why Garp is called a naval hero is because he has been hunting down the Roger Pirates for a long time and forced them into desperate situations several times. In the end, he personally arrested and sent them to the execution stand.

But the king knows very well that this is not the case, or this is not the main reason. According to his guess, the strength of Lieutenant General Garp may still be higher than that of the naval admiral with the title of 'Buddha's Warring States'.

Have you found out where Lieutenant General Garp is now?

The minister in charge of intelligence replied respectfully with a look of awe: The slave catchers have not found the specific location. It is said that Lieutenant General Garp has always been a loner. In the Navy Headquarters, he can go wherever he wants. Where are the characters, but they said there are rumors that Lieutenant General Garp has recently returned to his hometown of Donghai.

Yeah.

King Taklama breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time thought, try to spare Dorag a small life in the subsequent battle, there is no need to completely panic Garp for this.

If Garp could chase Roger to death for more than ten years, then he would most likely pursue him for more than ten years to avenge his son.

He doesn't want to provoke a mad dog with the highest combat power in the world!

Okay, let's go down and get ready!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Soon, the more than 30,000 slave guards in the underground city of Thutmose Kingdom began to make big movements. They pulled out guns, ammunition, and even artillery in large quantities, and then reached the offshore area through underground passages and began to establish layers. Lines of defense and traps.

The foundation of being a slave king for decades was completely activated at this moment.

At the same time, groups of young men were pulled out of the cells. Under the guard of soldiers on both sides, they lined up to walk towards the great pyramid, not knowing what King Taklama was going to do.

In short, everyone knows that this is a war, with tens of thousands of people participating on both sides!

On the sea, Dorag's side also met with the fleets of the 194th Division, the 242nd Division, and the 289th Division in the South China Sea. The naval fleet at this time was extremely large.

Five large headquarters-level warships, each carrying a thousand headquarters naval personnel, two artillery decks, three triple anti-aircraft batteries, and a total of thirty-three large-caliber artillery pieces.

The eighteen division-level small warships all have one artillery deck and a total of twelve medium-caliber artillery pieces. Among them, eight warships from the 194th Division are fully loaded with 500 people, and the remaining ten are all regular 300-personnel.

The total strength of the ship is twelve thousand!

Although it seems to be inferior to the 30,000 legions of the Kingdom of Thutmose, in Dorag's view, his side is stronger than the former in terms of combat power and firepower.

One major general and fifty headquarters officers at all levels who were proficient in the Six Styles and even some who had eaten devil fruits were enough to suppress the soldiers who were responsible for guarding the slaves all day long.

As for King Taklama, he will naturally deal with it.

Although from the intelligence point of view, the slave king's strength in all aspects was superior to his own, Dolag did not feel the slightest fear because of this.

When he thought that defeating the opponent would save hundreds of thousands of civilians, the blood in his body began to boil. This was the just battle he had always dreamed of!

Target, the Kingdom of Thutmose!!

Dorag flew in the air accompanied by a green whirlwind, and issued orders to the huge naval fleet composed of twenty-three large and small warships below.

Set off!
