Chapter 804: Gulichalido
News of Byrnndi World "World Destroyer" attacking a Marine Base spread.
Under the operation of Morgans "Big News", it immediately spread throughout the world.
Everyone speculated that Byrnndi World, who had been silent for a while since escaping from Impel Down, finally planned to launch revenge against the Marines and the World Government.
This time was undeniably fast.
From the news of Impel Down's fall spreading until now, it had actually only been a little over a month.
No one expected Byrnndi World to recover so quickly.
Even "Golden Lion" Shiki speculated that Byrnndi World would need at least two or three years of calm.
After all, many members of the Flying Pirates, as well as the pirates rescued from Impel Down, knew how poor Byrnndi World's condition was.
And the G-3 Branch, having received a reminder from Marine Headquarters, was also prepared to counter the Byrnndi Pirates' attack.
All warships patrolling outside returned to the G-3 Branch.
Along the coast, dozens of Marine Soldiers constantly looked out at the Great Sea with telescopes, searching for the Byrnndi Pirates who could appear at any time.
On the ironclad Fortress, Gunners stood behind each piece of artillery.
Although this might have no role against a Monster like Byrnndi World, they could only prepare for war as much as possible.
For them, this was a war, even if their opponent was only one person.
Facing the ferocious pirate, they would not retreat.
Vice Admiral Garp was already on his way with reinforcements.
As long as they could persist until Garp arrived,
Even Byrnndi World "World Destroyer" could only be repelled, or even arrested.
Byrnndi World, after all, had been away from the Great Sea for too long.
Many people had only heard his name and knew his battle record, but time could wear away many things.
Compared to the fear brought by Byrnndi World, they believed more in Vice Admiral Garp's powerful combat strength.
Even though Garp had not become the so-called "Marine Hero", he still possessed immense prestige within the Marines.
This was all earned with his iron fist.
Just three months after the Swordsmanship Tournament ended.
The Overlord-level Great Pirate who shook the Great Sea, Chinjao the Drill, Leader of the Hasshoken Army from Flower Country in the West Blue, had his indestructible head literally flattened under Garp's iron fist.
This caused Chinjao the Drill to never recover from then on.
A Great Pirate thus "fell".
This was Garp's terrifying strength.
One must know that Chinjao the Drill was a monster who didn't even flinch when facing the Top-tier Experts of the New World.
Although due to his identity, Chinjao the Drill did not participate in the Bloody Battle, in the New World, he had clashed with those Great Pirates more than once.
"King of the Beasts" Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, Captain John, who had not yet died, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, Whitebeard.
Chinjao had clashed with the top-tier monsters of the New World.
There were many monsters rising in the new era, but Chinjao was not counted among them, because in the Rocks Era, he was already active on the Great Sea, though he did not join the Rocks Pirates.
In terms of age, Chinjao was completely of the same generation as Garp and Shiki.
If the Hasshoken Army's Base Camp wasn't in the West Blue, and they had no Territory in the New World, Chinjao's Hasshoken Army would also be one of the overlords of the New World.
Nothing was more morale-boosting news than defeating a monster.
That's why Garp's prestige was so high.
The reason "Golden Lion" Shiki's status was high was because he defeated three veteran Great Pirates.
Battle record explains everything; strength is the absolute factor.
Furthermore, most of the current Marine High Command had participated in the Bloody Battle.
And the Base Commander of the G-3 Branch was none other than Gulichalido.
Although Gulichalido was only a Rear Admiral, in terms of strength, he could already stand on his own.
This was also the reason he could become the Base Commander of the G-3 Branch.
Headquarters also trusted his strength.
At this Base, after so many years of management, he was completely in sole command.
Even with the Marines strategically withdrawing in the New World, the G-3 Branch could still capture some pirates every so often, constantly accumulating military merit.
His tough style also made him highly regarded within Marine Headquarters, especially by the Hawk Faction.
Even Sakazuki, located in the North Blue, would often call to express concern and strengthen their connections.
This was Shirek's suggestion to Sakazuki.
Not only the hardliners, but also the Neutral Faction, were targets he could win over.
The factional struggle within the Marines was more about ideology.
There was generally no direct confrontation; they went their separate ways and did not interfere with each other.
After all, every Marine's way of doing things was different.
The so-called factions were not openly discussed.
Some generals were considered Hawk Faction by some, and Neutral Faction by others.
Such things were difficult to judge directly.
Of course, Gulichalido's most important mission was still to completely build the G-3 Branch into his own Territory.
To provide assistance for Sound Nest's development, acting as Sound Nest's hidden piece buried within the Marines, providing intelligence about the Marines.
After graduation from the Elite Training Camp, he came to the G-3 Branch.
Although over the years, due to the changes in the Great Sea's situation, the location of the G-3 Branch had been moved many times.
But the members inside, the core members, had not changed.
Sound Nest's plan to control the Trade Island guarded by the G-3 Branch was interrupted; this did not mean it wouldn't proceed in the future.
In fact, the G-3 Branch is not far from that island now, and Gulichalido often goes there to inspect.
With his deterrence, the island being developed as a Trade Island also began to develop.
However, it was not controlled by the World Government and the Marines; it also involved many Factions from the New World.
The Deep Sea Mother Nest was still located next to that Trade Island.
constantly infiltrating inwards.
Currently, Gulichalido's status within the Marines is not low.
Although not in the Center of Power, at the G-3 Branch, he is the one who calls the shots.
As long as he doesn't want to resign or be transferred, Marine Headquarters cannot easily transfer him without sufficient reason.
Devoting half one's life to a Navy Branch is actually a very common thing within the Marines.
"Remember to protect your life. I don't want to hear news of your sacrifice, Gulichalido."
Ignis's voice sounded through the Den Den Mushi.
Ignis naturally learned of this matter immediately and had a simple chat with Gulichalido.
Although Gulichalido's existence might seem to have little role for the rapidly developing Sound Nest currently.
But in Ignis's eyes, Gulichalido was a very important subordinate to him.
It's just that his importance hasn't been fully demonstrated yet.
Furthermore, Gulichalido is also a powerful combatant.
"Don't worry, I won't die that easily."
Gulichalido said, feigning ease, then the Den Den Mushi hung up.
Saying he was relaxed was, of course, false.
After all, the enemy was Byrnndi World "World Destroyer".
But no matter what, he would not retreat.
Not just because of his current Marine identity.
Although he was a Spy sent by Ignis to the Marines, over the years, he had already integrated into the Marines, especially the G3 Fortress.
If he truly died, this would also be his destiny.
On the other side, clenched fists showed that Ignis's heart was not peaceful.
Gulichalido had been following him since their time at the Royal Military Academy.
If he sacrificed himself, Ignis would feel it was a great pity.
"If you really die, I will get revenge for you!"
