Chapter 349 Dalmatian: I feel like my body is hollowed out(1/2)
"Captain, do we really want to do this? There are so many big pirates. If we are not careful, even we will be unable to resist."
In the New World, at the port of Rocky Port, a small white bear wearing a snow-white body and an orange jumpsuit looked out at the man next to him who was looking at the large Nodachi and said this with some flinch.
"There are definitely risks, but I have to bite the bullet and do it. In order to achieve that goal, I have to do it!"
Next to the mascot-like white bear, a man wearing a spotted fur hat looked deeply at the sea in the distance. He held the nodachi in his hand a little tighter, so tight that the joints and veins in his hand were faintly exposed.
rise.
The plan he wants to implement may be very cruel, and may bring disaster to many civilians, but in order to achieve his goal, and for the man who treats him as warmly as a father, he... has no choice.

"General Seti, we are here. The G1 branch is in front of us."
On the watchtower of the warship, Kebi, who was holding a monocular, carefully scouted the surroundings and said excitedly.
This was his first time arriving in the new world. Before he was severely beaten by society, everything he saw felt extremely novel.
Hearing what Kebi said, Seti cheered up a little, raised his eyes and looked into the distance. Sure enough, he could see a building complex at the end of the sea level that was constantly enlarging in front of his eyes.
If you close your eyes and use your senses to perceive, you can also find that there are many "sounds" concentrated near the port at this time. It must be that they have received orders to come to greet them.
I got up and went back to the room to tidy up my clothes. Not long after, I heard Belumeb's voice coming from outside the door:
"Admiral Seti, our ship has arrived at the dock of the G1 branch. There are many navy members of the G1 branch waiting for you at the dock."
"knew!"
After taking a deep breath to adjust his energy and spirit, and trying to make his previous appearance more majestic and solemn, Seti opened the door and came to the deck.
He didn't have a deep impression of the navy in the New World. The only one that impressed him was the g5 branch navy of the New World. In his impression, although the navy there was kind-hearted, they were all rough guys.
The g1 branch and the g5 branch are both naval branches in the new world. I think the sailors in the g1 branch should behave similarly to the g5 branch.
In order to allow himself, as the new base commander, to better display his fists during his term of office, Seti decided to give the navy here a show of strength first to prevent some unscrupulous people from coming out to confront him.
As soon as Seti boarded the dock of the G1 branch with Kebi, Belumeb, and a group of sailors responsible for daily maintenance of warships, Seti could see a strange naval general wearing a cloak of justice leading a group of sailors waiting for him.
At the pier.
The only thing that was completely different from what I imagined was that, although they were very happy when facing the newly appointed admiral, the unfamiliar general and the sailors at the dock, they always felt that they were not that happy.
And everyone has thick dark circles on their face, which feels like... kidney deficiency, especially after overexertion.
I always feel that something is wrong. Is there a lieutenant general in the naval system that I don't know? Logically speaking, after so many meetings during the war, there is no way that there is a lieutenant general that I have never even met.
"General Seti, you are finally here!"
While Seti was trying hard to search for the specific identity of the lieutenant general in front of him in his mind, this unfamiliar naval vice admiral with dark circles under his eyes came up to Seti very familiarly and bowed to Seti before speaking with a complicated expression:
"Everyone in the branch has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me. I will first take you to familiarize yourself with the various facilities of the G1 branch."
Listening to the somewhat familiar voice of this strange naval admiral, Seti was silent for a moment and then said with some hesitation:
"Um... although it's a bit impolite to ask this, I still want to ask who you are and why I feel that your voice is familiar, but I have never seen you in the headquarters."
Hearing this, the unfamiliar lieutenant general was stunned for a moment, then reacted belatedly, and said somewhat dumbfounded:
"I am General Seti of Dalmecia. This is my original appearance."
As she spoke, Dalmecia's figure swelled visibly to the naked eye, and black and white spotted fur grew on her body, instantly transforming into a giant spotted kobold standing upright.
"Dalmatian? It turns out to be you. I didn't even know you looked like this."
Seeing the familiar image in front of him, Seti reacted belatedly.
"Dalmatian" Dalmecia, Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, animal **** fruit, and a person with the ability to form a Dalmatian dog.
Unlike other animal devil fruit users who like to maintain their original appearance, Dalmatian likes his human-animal form very much, so he habitually maintains his human-animal form even in daily life.
Even during normal meetings, Dalmatian would adopt the current Dalmatian orc mentality. This was the reason why Sett did not recognize Dalmatian immediately.
"Actually, I haven't used my original image for many years. If it hadn't been for these two days..."
In the middle of speaking, Dalmatian looked around at the sailors around him. He seemed to think that if he continued talking, it would affect the morale of the soldiers, so he coughed lightly and said:
"Ahem, I'll report the specific content to Lieutenant General Seti in private later."
After saying this, Dalmatian waved the sailors back to rest while guiding Seti towards the empty G1 branch.
Why did Dalmatian, who loved the human-animal form, suddenly return to his original appearance, and why did the sailors in the G1 branch always look like they had been hollowed out? Seti subconsciously felt that there must be something wrong with this.
Forcibly suppressing the curiosity in his heart, he turned around and motioned for Kebi and the two to follow. Then, under the leadership of Dalmatian, he walked towards the location of the G1 branch.
…………
After following Dalmatian to visit the empty G1 branch, which was like a ghost town, the two finally arrived at the base director's office of the G1 branch.
After taking a look at Dalmatian who opened the door and entered the office, Seth prompted Ikebi and Bellumeb to be waiting at the door, and then followed Dalmatian into the base director's office.
After entering the office, Seti finally couldn't restrain his curiosity:
"Lieutenant General Dalmatian, what happened to the G1 branch? Why is the entire branch empty, and the few people I saw occasionally seemed to have no energy at all.
Also, why are you so fond of the human-animal form that you have returned to your original form? What happened in this situation?"
Hearing what Sett said, Dalmatian stopped what he was doing, sat down in the chair, pointed at his super thick dark circles, and said with a sad expression:
"Actually, there is no special reason. I am just busy. Even I am so busy that I have to use a more energy-saving human form. Alas, you don't know what kind of life I have been living during this time..."
From Dalmatian's description, Sett finally understood the reason why the sailors in the G1 branch looked weak.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it was caused by the war, the neo-naval force, and my own promotion.
The g1 branch is the first naval branch in the new world. It is located on the middle line between the government-only waterway and the entrance to Fish-Man Island. This means that this naval branch is responsible for both the government-only waterway and the entrance to Fish-Man Island.
Security issues at the entrance to the New World.
Although the workload is huge, the g1 branch has taken these issues into consideration since the beginning, and it is the most outstanding among all naval branches in terms of building scale and garrison number.
With sophisticated weapons and sufficient manpower, it is not a big deal to be responsible for the security issues at these two entrances and exits on weekdays. The big deal is to catch the big ones and release the small ones, leaving the Fishman Island to be a little chaotic.
But with the outbreak of war, all this changed.
Because the Navy Headquarters had mobilized a lot of naval forces from various branches during the war, the manpower of the G1 branch, which was originally barely enough, was instantly stretched.
In addition, many pirates know that during the war between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates, they will definitely have no time to take into account the security of the import and export of the New World. Therefore, the pirates can be said to be gathering in a group to go to the G1 branch.
Run through the sea under his command.
If this were the case, then after the war, with the return of naval power to each branch, the chaos in the G1 branch should have ceased.
But it happened that at this time, Aokiji failed to compete for the position of marshal and left the navy. He took a large number of people to the new world to establish the neo-new navy. At the navy headquarters, Seti was promoted to general, which made the paradise feel huge.
pressure.
The establishment of the neo-new navy and Seti's promotion have improved the security in the depths of the new world and in the paradise, but it has accidentally worsened the security in the G1 branch.
Many people cannot be recognized by the Four Emperors in the depths of the new world, and are unable to face the encirclement and suppression of the new navy, so they can only return to the G1 branch, the gateway to the new world, and wait for an opportunity to return to the paradise.
As a result, at this time, the news of Seti's promotion to the general spread to the new world. When they heard that returning to the paradise, they would be punished by the "never absent" justice of this "magnificent" general, many pirates felt that the paradise
It's not a good place to go either.
There are powerful enemies in the depths of the new world and in the paradise. What can these little pirates do? They can only survive by huddled together in the G1 branch for warmth.
In this way, more and more pirates gathered near the G1 branch. The sudden increase in the number of pirates made the G1 branch's already poor naval reserves even worse.
"Everyone has worked really hard. Everyone works three shifts a day. The total rest time for the whole day including three meals is less than six hours. As the base commander, I can only sleep less than four hours a day.
Hours later, but even so, the security force of the G1 branch still seemed to be stretched thin.
The public security under the g1 branch has also plummeted in just one or two months. On average, there is a pirate attack every half hour..."
After describing the recent events in the G1 branch, Dalmatian smiled weakly at Sett and said:
"Fortunately, General Seti is here to take charge of the overall situation. If the headquarters cannot send out enough force to deal with the problem here, we will really not be able to hold on."
"I see, you have really worked hard in the past period, Lieutenant General Dalmatian."
After listening to Dalmatian's story, Sett scratched his head in embarrassment. If you really think about it, the fact that the navymen of the G1 branch worked so hard seemed to be inseparable from him.
"These are all things I should do. It's just a pity that my strength alone is not enough to solve the problem. In the end, I still need Lieutenant General Seti to help me."
Dalmatian looked at Seti with an apologetic expression and said.
"It's amazing that you can do this. As for the next thing, leave it to me."
Seti clenched his hands into fists, and there was a vague fighting spirit in his eyes. Since all of this was related to him, then naturally he should solve these troubles by himself.
Here, Seti had just taken over the responsibility for security issues under the control of the G1 branch from Dalmatian, when suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Enter."
"General Seti and Lieutenant General Dalmecia, something happened. We just received news that a large number of pirates are heading towards Rocky Town. They seem to want to violently loot Rocky Town!"
The sailor who pushed in the door was out of breath and reported.
Hearing this, the expressions of Dalmatian and Seti changed. Pirates looting towns is not as simple as extortion. Those unprincipled pirates will do anything once they get jealous.
from.
After the two looked at each other, Seti said decisively:
To be continued...
