Chapter 64: Garp’s new mission and Level 5.5 of Impel Down
Three days have passed since the combined fleets of the Navy Headquarters and the South Blue Marine Bases launched a siege on the Kingdom of Thutmose.
Looking at the interior of the island from the sea, one can clearly see that in the sky above the central area in the distance, there is no longer a khaki sandstorm alone, but a green wind that seems to represent vitality to compete with it.
As for the desert battlefields on all sides of the coast, the brutal hand-to-hand combat also came to an end with the retreat of the navy's warships. Only the yellow sand soaked in blood and the broken limbs, dried remains, cracked axes and folded knives all over the ground remained silent. It proves everything that happened before.
On the Navy's side, Rear Admiral Irwin ordered the entire military to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield about a day ago.
The slave legion was overwhelming, with strong young soldiers constantly emerging from the ground, all wearing green collars. The Navy's own strength was limited, and its endurance and numbers were constantly decreasing.
In fact, Rear Admiral Irwin really didn't think about retreating at first.
But after Dragon's raid on Shabak City, the ten officers from the headquarters came back in an underground rail car and brought detailed information, they finally had a detailed understanding of the situation of the slave legion.
First, underground there are tens of thousands of young slaves ready to join the battle at any time.
Second, they are controlled by the ability of the Pet-Pet Fruit, and their bodies can exert their maximum strength. Without new orders from King Taklama, they will not surrender in combat.
Third, Rear Admiral Dragon, after facing King Taklama, did not manage to defeat him immediately, but is fighting him fiercely.
Based on these points, Rear Admiral Irwin decided to withdraw the fleet, as continuing would only result in certain death for them and the total annihilation of the Marines.
