I have enlightened all the devil fruits.

Chapter 172: The war is at a stalemate! Seeking help from Luoyang! Lu Ming takes action!

Three months later.

With the strong pressure from the Great Xia Navy, the living space of the pirate forces in the Zhongzhou Waters was squeezed little by little, like squeezing toothpaste.

Wars between the two sides have been breaking out more and more frequently. Many Zhongzhou pirates have surrendered to the Daxia Navy, and some have even taken the opportunity to flee the Zhongzhou waters before the decisive battle.

Only a few top pirate forces are struggling to hold on and defend the Zhongzhou waters.

Among them, most of the pirate groups are led by the [Yellow Sand Pirates], and they seem to be ready to fight to the death with the Daxia Navy.

This also makes many survivors look forward to who will be the winner of this "Battle for Clean Sea"?

...

Zhongzhou waters.

Daxia Navy, its warships.

"Damn Feng Chen!"

"Ahem... I never thought this guy would be so strong... Ahem!"

Admiral Ouyang Qingshan of the Great Xia Navy was covered in injuries, with bandages wrapped around his shoulders, and he was coughing up blood. His face was gloomy and depressed, which showed how serious his injuries were.

Half a month ago, the pirate Feng Chen and a group of pirates under his command carried out a decapitation plan against Ouyang Qingshan. Although the plan failed, it dealt a heavy blow to Ouyang Qingshan, as well as the high-ranking naval officers of the Daxia Navy.

If the reinforcements from the five major families had not arrived in time, Ouyang Qingshan would have been killed on the spot by Shen Haosi, the [Pure Sea Knife].

Although he was seriously injured at the moment, pirate Feng Chen and others were also seriously injured.

"When will Zhang Mengfu and Ren Wu arrive?" General Ouyang Qingshan angrily asked his subordinates.

His naval captain immediately responded: "The Baiyujing Navy Headquarters called back and said that the two generals were responsible for suppressing a group of bounty hunters in the Liaodong waters... They might not arrive until the end of the month."

"Let them go... Forget it! Give orders to the entire army, including the people from the five major families, to continue searching for the whereabouts of Feng Chen and his gang!"

"I don't believe that I can't take over Zhongzhou without Zhang Mengfu and Ren Wu!?" General Ouyang Qingshan's face looked extremely ugly.

It was not until the war broke out that Ouyang Qingshan realized that he had been cheated by Ren Wuyou, Zhang Mengfu and Ren Wu.

Why is it necessary to stay in the rear and stabilize the morale of the troops?

What Liaodong bounty hunter, go and suppress it?

What? Sakura pirates are invading and they need a general to guard the place! ?

idiot!

A plant! Fuck you!

How could I not know whether the Sakura Pirates had invaded or not!?

You three are lying with your eyes open, and you don't even bother to tell lies, right? !

OK, OK! Let's play this way, right?

I just don’t believe that I, Ouyang Qingshan, can’t take over Zhongzhou! ?

I, Ouyang Qingshan, have gathered half of the Great Xia Navy and the five major families here. I just want to ask you, how can I lose when a flying dragon rides on my face! ?

When I complete my great plan, I will ruthlessly ravage each and every one of you!

Baga Ya Deer!

General Ouyang Qingshan gritted his teeth and stared fiercely at the map of Zhongzhou waters on the table. His eyes were bloodshot. He wished he could find Feng Chen and others right away and complete the cleansing of Zhongzhou immediately!

...

The temporary base of the Yellow Sand Pirates.

The breeze was clear over the Heigao Sea and the full moon was hanging high in the sky. On a temporary island, Feng Chen's Huangsha Pirates were temporarily stationed.

Many pirates are patrolling the sea near the island, alerting for emergencies so that they can retreat in time.

"Captain, retreat! We definitely can't win this battle!"

"Yes, Captain, as long as there is life, there is always firewood to burn!"

"We can retreat to the Magic City, or even to Jiangnan. If that doesn't work, we can go to Shuzhong."

"..."

At this moment, inside the cabin.

The pirate captains of the different ships tried to persuade them earnestly. Everyone was seriously injured, but no one escaped without permission.

Leading the team are Captain Feng Chen, his deputies Pirates Shen Haosi and Cui Hongyuan.

The three of them sat in the main seats. Feng Chen had his arm tied up. The other two were more seriously injured and were now bandaged like mummies, but they still persisted.

Now, Feng Chen felt mixed emotions and his face was gloomy.

Although he knew that he would definitely fail, he still refused to give up Zhongzhou, his hometown where he grew up.

Even though it is the Age of Navigation, it is hard to leave home, and this is written into the blood of every Zhongzhou person.

Today, although there is no Yellow River or Yangtze River, Zhongzhou is still the root of every Daxia person.

Especially the people of Zhongzhou, their feelings for this sea area are beyond the understanding of outsiders.

"Enough!" Feng Chen said.

"Even if I, Feng Chen, die, I will never leave Zhongzhou!"

"Of course, we are brothers, and I won't force you all to die together, if anyone wants to leave."

"You can take your people away at any time. I, Feng Chen, will never say no."

"We will have a long journey from now on, so take care of yourselves."

After this was said, many captains were speechless. They did have this idea, but Feng Chen treated them well, and if it was not necessary, they were unwilling to abandon Feng Chen and escape alone.

"Hey..."

Many people sighed and left the cabin and returned to their own ships.

At this moment, only Feng Chen, Shen Haosi and Cui Hongyuan were left in the cabin.

"Lao Shen, Lao Cui, you two should go too." Feng Chen said with a bitter expression.

“Isn’t this an insult?”

"That's right. If I don't leave, where can I go?" The two old brothers said unhappily.

At this moment, the cabin door was pushed open, a graceful voice was heard, followed by the aroma of food.

"Uncles, you must be hungry. I just fried a few dishes and steamed some steamed buns. Come and have some."

"Okay, eat something."

"Even at your age, Old Feng, you are still not as good as your daughter."

At this moment, a young girl pushed the door open and came in, holding a pile of food. The girl was pretty and gentle, looking like a lady from a noble family.

Feng Jing is Feng Chen's only daughter.

The two mummies then stood up, grabbed a big steamed bun each, and ate happily.

Only Feng Chen's expression became even more sad when he saw his daughter Feng Jing coming in.

"Girl, what should I do with you? If I die, who can take care of you?" Feng Chen asked himself secretly, with a look of sadness on his face.

Seeing this, the kind-hearted Feng Jing seemed to guess what Feng Chen was thinking. With red eyes, she handed a pair of chopsticks to Feng Chen.

"Dad, let's eat first."

"Hey."

Feng Chen had no choice but to take the chopsticks, grab a steamed bun and start eating it.

Huff...Huff...

After the three of them finished eating, Feng Chen and the other two lit up a cigarette. In an instant, the cabin was filled with smoke and fog, as if they were thinking about what to do next.

At this moment, Feng Jing had just cleaned up the dishes and left the room.

"Boss, how about we ask for help?"

Shen Haosi, one of the two mummies nearby, burped and asked.

Hearing this, Feng Chen raised his eyebrows, but his expression remained ugly. He took a deep puff of cigarette, and then said faintly:

"Who should I ask for help?"

"The key is, if we pray, will someone come to rescue us?"

After these words were spoken, the two mummies fell silent, as if they were controlled in place.

"It's not like I haven't thought about it. There are only two families I can ask for help from."

"One is in the Magic City, and the other is in Jiangnan..."

"There's no need to talk about Jiangnan. It's bullshit. We've fought more than once or twice..."

"Ah, yes, yes..."

"I remember the user of the Yomiuri fruit from the Jiangnan Society. Thinking about it now still makes me feel cold."

A mummy nodded and said.

"Then why don't we try Luoyang City?"

another mummy asked.

After these words were spoken, Feng Chen was immediately silenced.

"You said... Luoyang..."

Feng Chen looked up at the ceiling with a distracted look in his eyes, as if he was wondering whether it was appropriate.

"But how can we ask them to send troops..." Cui Hongyuan, one of the mummies, raised a key question, "And I heard that the Lord of Luoyang is a treacherous and cunning person."

They both looked at Cui Hongyuan.

Feng Chen's eyes flickered and he lit another cigarette for the three of them.

"Be detailed." Feng Chen said slowly.

"I also found it by browsing the channel. I often heard people say on the channel that the Lord of Luoyang is called Lu Ming."

Cui Hongyuan continued.

"He is cunning and treacherous, lazy and greedy, and... and..."

"What else, Lao Cui, tell me now!"

Shen Haosi said anxiously.

Hearing this, Cui Hongyuan blushed and whispered:

"He is also greedy and lustful. It is said that he specially sent people to collect female survivors for his own sexual pleasure!"

"Fuck, are you so slutty?"

"That's right. What's said on the Internet is so convincing, how can it be false?"

"This Lu Ming is such a beast! If we weren't at war right now, I would have just taken my knife and attacked Luoyang City."

"We still have a group of prisoners under our command. How about we look for women and send them over?"

"What are you talking about, Lao Cui? It's really inhumane to do this."

"I'm just saying it casually."

"..."

Peng!

The door was pushed open and Feng Jing rushed in, frightening the three middle-aged men.

"dad!"

"Let me go to Luoyang City, Dad!"

Feng Jing said to Feng Chen with red eyes.

"What did you say!?"

Feng Chen was stunned and asked back.

"Let me try. I can definitely get Luoyang City to send reinforcements."

Feng Jing begged.

Snapped!

Feng Chen slapped Feng Jing directly on the face, leaving a slap mark and knocking Feng Jing to the ground.

"Fuck your mother's fart!"

"How can I have a daughter like you? Who is Lu Ming? You're rushing to go? What's the difference between this and asking Feng Chen to sell my daughter?"

"Hey, why is Lao Feng doing this!?"

"Is everything okay with my niece? Your father is a tough guy, don't bother with him."

Two mummies tried to stop the fight.

But Feng Jing gritted her teeth, her eyes still red, and looked at Feng Chen stubbornly.

"Go ahead and hit me. Either you kill me, or I will go to Luoyang City for help."

Feng Jing bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Feng Chen pointed at Feng Jing with trembling hands.

"Okay, okay, you're getting cocky now. I can't do it anymore, so go ahead! Go quickly!"

"I, Feng Chen, will pretend that I don't have a daughter like you!"

"I, Feng Chen, don't have a daughter as unself-respecting as you! Get out of here!!" Feng Chen roared.

The roar could be heard throughout the ship, including a dark figure outside the boat.

"Old Feng, you are so arrogant, my niece did that for you."

"Yeah, yeah, I've lived my whole life, but I'm not even as good as a child."

The two mummies comforted and ridiculed Feng Chen constantly.

Feng Jing struggled to get up, staring at Feng Chen with red eyes and the palm print on her face becoming more and more obvious.
