Chereads / Ballad of the Crows / Chapter 107 - Totto Land

Chapter 107 - Totto Land

Katahara was at the training ground facing Doulgas's bullet.

Douglas: What you ask of me is something that will never happen... pirates become soldiers...

Katahara: Nothing is impossible....

Douglas: A pirate can't change their nature, they have no discipline and less indoctrination than a soldier would have....

Katahara: And if you train men and women who were never pirates... teach them what war is, the rules....

Douglas: You'd have to give him a motivation to fight for... Marines fight for justice and peace, pirates for wealth, and from what I see, your time as a pirate is coming to an end.

Katahara: The Imperial Truth is something they will fight for, you are in charge of training the new recruits Mink, Onis, winged men, discard the prisoners.

Douglas: I see you plan to get rid of all the ones that can't be indoctrinated, and focus on all the new ones...even if it takes a few years to have an army as such, you'll have an overwhelming force. .... I guess my loyalty has to do with it. With that mark you left on my arm

Katahara: There will be other instructors soon... take care, use the fourth and fifth training grounds.

After that, Katahara left, leaving Douglas alone in the training ground, to head to the another place.

Katahara was in the dungeons along with Laffitte, observing 5 people who were chained to different tables, all unconscious and with their backs uncovered.

Laffitte: I guess they'll wake up within the next week.

Katahara: The Seven Hells Forging Method, is something you experienced yourself, once they wake up...

Laffitte: Shiryu, Robin, Agrom, Aslaug and Ryuma, I wonder which of them woke up first...

Katahara: Are all ships ready?

Laffitte: As I order, 10 warships, ready to sail and the 5 ships of the giants ready to sail

Katahara: We set sail immediately....

Laffitte: Everyone will have their homework as soon as they wake up... I guess we won't see each other for a few months...

As both of them headed into Aghata's shadow.

In the shadow of aghata, some of his commanders were waiting for him.

10 ships with around a thousand warriors were ready, along with 5 ships carrying 50 giants set sail from Markland Island.

---------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, a naval fleet was sailing out to sea.

In the main ship of the navy were 2 admirals.

Kizaru: We are about to reach your territory... we will arrive within 1 week... I hope the information is reliable...

Ryu: We can end this with a single attack... while they're busy at their party...

Kizaru: We're attacking the islands as fast as we can, to prevent them from communicating with their base... if they find out we're here... and with so few troops...

Ryu: Attacking Baltigo... cost us too much... even Ikuda lost his life...

Kizaru: Dragon bared his fangs at that time... to think that we would lose 40% of the entire fleet attacking the revolutionaries...

Ryu: We didn't expect the Neo Marine to be in the same base...

Kizaru: Garp-san, you seemed despondent at the sight of your son at that time... I have no idea how you convinced Kuzan-san to send a strike force.

Ryu: We have the best of the best in this fleet... there's no way we can't accomplish the mission.

Kizaru: As long as no variables appear...

---------------------------------------------

A «Cat Carriage» that is being pushed by a giant cat, was in the middle of a road. It is adorned with the symbols of the kingdom and above its roof is a figure of Garuda.

Inside were the Vinsmoke brothers.

Yonji: I can't believe we have to come to this place, the Raven King sent us to the lion's den.

Chiji: Under the guise of saving this bastard.

While buying tickets to see Sanji.

At that moment Reiju spoke.

Reiju: We can't let a Vinsmoke be treated like that... and marriage isn't all that bad for me, I would have a very beautiful sister-in-law.

Niji: Beautiful... I think you're the least likely to talk about it... Drust is anything but beautiful, with that gas mask and those piercing eyes...

Reiju: You shouldn't talk about your brother-in-law Niji like that, I might listen to you...

While hitting Niji on the head...

Reiju: As for you Sanji... Drust told me that you didn't let him intervene...

Sanji: I never asked for your help in the first place...

Reiju: It may be so... but you are still a Vinsmoke, and believe me you are not the only reason we are in this place.

Niji: You didn't tell me yet because our father isn't here with us... even if you become the new matriarch he's still a Vinsmoke.

Reiju looked out the carriage window before speaking.

Reiju: Although our father is a Vinsmoke, he no longer belongs to our family... All those who belong to the Adeptus Mechanicus put aside all their fraternal and family ties,

Which caught the attention of Sanji who had no idea what the Adeptus Mechanicus was.

Niji: So that father and daughter that Laxus brought to the island a few months ago.

Reiju: Believe it or not that girl is a capable scientist, although she is still a neophyte within the Adeptus... instead her father was accepted as a Grand Master.

Behind the carriage soldiers from Germa 66 were being transported in a cart pulled by a giant mouse.

At that moment screams began to be heard from outside the Carriage.

Sanji identified those screams instantly.

Sanji: Luffy!
