Chapter 19 G5 Base
Grand Line G-5 Branch Outer Port
The wind howled fiercely and huge waves rolled up on the sea.
The Suzheng Fleet was like a black behemoth that broke through the air, covered in fighting spirit and murderous intent, and it anchored forcefully at the outer port of the G-5 branch.
On the bridge.
Rogge stood with his hands behind his back, his black hair dancing wildly in the wind, his black cloak fluttering fiercely, and he looked like a sword that was about to cut through the sky and the earth.
Rhett silently adjusted his heavy seastone brass knuckles, his knuckles turning slightly white as he suppressed his boiling fighting spirit.
Lightning flashed at Enel's fingertips, and the murderous aura around him seemed tangible, forcing the soldiers beside him to break out in cold sweat on their foreheads and not dare to look directly at him.
The solemn and murderous atmosphere spread as the deck vibrated slightly, enveloping the entire outer harbor.
Every inch of air seemed like a taut bowstring, on the verge of exploding!
[G-5 Branch·Interior]
The alarm bell finally sounded, but it was slow and weak.
The clear sound of the bell sounds like a dying whimper amid corruption and laziness.
There was chaos inside the branch.
On the playground, drunken soldiers staggered here and there, some simply lay on the lawn and continued to sleep soundly;
The guard on the sentry post was huddled in the corner of the sentry box, snoring loudly, the rifle in his hand had long since slipped and was covered in dust.
On the street, there were a few drunkards holding bottles and arguing loudly while walking barefoot. They didn't even react when they saw the Suzheng warship docking.
There are very few people who are truly alert.
But even the soldiers who were awake mostly looked numb and uneasy.
An instinctive fear of being overthrown and liquidated quietly spread within the branch.
[G-5 Branch, Command Building, Vergo's Office]
Bang!
The ceramic coffee cup shattered, and coffee stains splattered all over the desk.
Virgo clenched his fists tightly, veins on his forehead bulged, and his face was so gloomy that water almost dripped out.
"...Rye..."
He gritted his teeth, his voice so low it seemed to come from underground.
Sakazuki's nephew, East Blue Purger.
The extreme absolutist who was rumored to have slaughtered all the Pirates and wiped out their ashes!
Virgo's knuckles trembled slightly, and his mind was thinking rapidly:
[The dark warehouse has not been cleaned up yet.]
[The smuggling account books have not yet been destroyed.]
[Some hidden agents are still stuck at the base...]
Once Rogge intervenes—
Any small omission will lead to a fatal disaster!
He stood up suddenly, lowered his voice, and gave an urgent order:
"Seal off the warehouse immediately and destroy all account books!"
"Deal with all the hidden agents and smuggled materials!"
"Tell the people below not to reveal any flaws to me!"
Virgo gritted his teeth, his eyes gleaming with a fierce coldness.
——This time,
We can't get away with procrastination or prevarication.
[G-5 Branch·Rear Military Command Area]
Right now.
In the rear military drill ground, a group of soldiers wearing old Marine uniforms were doing hard training.
On the podium stood a tall, burly, middle-aged Vice Admiral.
Iron Bastier!
When he learned that the coming ones were the Rectification Fleet and that their commander was Rogge, he clapped his hands suddenly, the sound was deafening:
"Hahahahaha!!"
"It's that kid——Rogge!!!"
Bastir grinned wildly, the veins on his strong arms were exposed, and he seemed to have ignited a long-lost fighting spirit.
"Finally, here comes a real tough guy!"
"Finally, there's hope for cleaning up this morass of decay!!!"
Beside him, Colonel "Anvil" Barros crossed his arms over his chest, a cruel smile on his lips.
His voice was hoarse:
"I heard that in East Blue, Rogge purged for five whole years and not a single Pirate was left."
"This ruthlessness, this determination—"
He licked his cracked lips, his eyes gleaming with passion:
"I like."
Bastir slammed his fist hard on his own iron fist, his heroic spirit soaring to the sky:
"The one who survives is justice!!!"
"If we wild dogs want to stay alive, we should wash off the stinky mud on our bodies!"
The two smiled at each other and clenched their fists quietly.
[G-5 Branch·Main Entrance]
The strong wind was blowing, making the dilapidated branch door creak.
The rectification fleet was not notified and no salute was given.
Rogge personally led Leiter and Enel and advanced directly into this quagmire of corruption and depravity.
The heavy door was half-open. The soldier at the sentry post was leaning against the doorpost drunkenly, his face flushed and a deafening snore coming from his throat. The rifle in his hand had already fallen to the ground, covered in dust.
Rogge stepped into the scene, his steps pausing slightly.
He slowly narrowed his eyes, and his gaze swept across the mess in front of him like a cold blade.
——The air seemed to freeze instantly.
The temperature around them dropped suddenly, and even the drunkard in the distance shuddered instinctively.
Enel felt the surging undercurrent of anger and raised his brows slightly.
He raised his finger calmly, and lightning surged slightly at the tip of his finger.
Sizzle!
A precise and weak electric current shot out silently and hit the sentry soldier who was drunk on the ground!
"Wa ...
The drunk man shuddered all over and let out a shrill scream, as if he was awakened by a hammer. He jumped up from the ground, his expression dazed and terrified, and trembling all over, he crawled towards the assembly area.
Enel said indifferently:
"When you wake up, go to the gathering."
Cold and contemptuous, like a god of judgment.
Rhett's face was grim, his shoulders slightly raised, and he clasped the heavy seastone brass knuckles tightly with a click, and the joints made a dull sound.
The next moment, he strode forward and took a deep breath!
boom--!!!
Rhett roared suddenly, and Haki surged like a raging wave, sweeping the entire audience!
"Rectify the military order——!"
"Everyone, gather within three minutes! Otherwise—kill without mercy!!!"
The sound was like thunder, shaking the ground slightly and causing dust to fly!
The entire G-5 branch was instantly torn apart from its lazy and decadent state!
Playground, tavern, casino, logistics warehouse...
There was panic and chaos!
Some people stumbled out from under the card table, some ran wildly while holding up their pants, and some ran barefoot towards the playground with terrified faces while holding jars of wine!
The wine bottle rolled over, splashing the wine everywhere; poker cards and dice danced on the ground;
The sounds of screaming, collisions, and curses intertwined into a symphony of doomsday!
In less than three minutes——
The entire playground was already crowded with frightened and panicked soldiers!
Some of them were drunk, some were disheveled, and some even carried chips from unfinished gambling games.
His face was pale, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his posture was in a mess, but no one dared to question him!
because--
Rogge's pressure was like a black thunder pressing down on their heads, completely suppressing all their luck and stubbornness!
[G-5 Playground·On the High Platform]
On the temporary platform extending from the bridge, Su Zheng and the other two stood solemnly.
Rogge stood with his hands behind his back, tall and straight, his black cloak fluttering in the strong wind, and he looked like the embodiment of black judgment.
He looked down coldly at these so-called "Marine" on the playground, his black pupils were icy, as if he was examining a group of livestock waiting to be slaughtered.
Rhett stood on the left, expressionless and muscular, like a silent iron tower, exuding a suppressed and explosive feeling.
Enel stood on the right, his silver hair flying, lightning flickering quietly on his fingertips, and a sarcastic sneer on his lips.
Like waiting for an impending slaughter feast.
The strong wind blew so hard that all the soldiers could hardly breathe.
On the playground, the solemn and murderous atmosphere was as stagnant as lead.
Rogge stared down at them in silence for a full ten seconds.
Ten seconds of dead silence, like being tortured to death!
A fishy and salty taste surged in the soldiers' throats, their backs felt cold, and they dared not even breathe.
final.
Rogge spoke slowly, his voice low and cold, like a sentence from hell:
"From today on—"
"G-5 branch is under my command."
"Corrupt, cowardly, traitorous—"
"It will be completely eradicated."
Every word is like a blade, piercing into everyone's heart!
Rogge raised his hand slightly, his eyes cold:
"The first step in rectification—"
"Call roll and check everyone's numbers, combat records, and current positions. Check them one by one!"
"Anyone who engages in corruption, collaborating with the enemy, or smuggling—"
"Kill without mercy!!!"
boom!!!
The whole place was in dead silence, as if even the air had frozen!
