Chapter 287: Navy's Concerns
After staying on Sky Island for nearly a month, Jellal returned to Nine Snake Island with Castilita and Reiju.
During this month, Reiju felt extremely shocked.
Using the technology of Nine Snake Island, various weapons and advanced equipment are being replicated on a large scale at the Sky Island Base.
Moreover, these equipments are their latest models.
Not only that, many factories and research institutions have been established on Sky Island, which are dedicated to the research and development of new technologies and products.
Now the Sky Island Air Force has been equipped with a variety of air combat weapons, including armor that helps them maximize their flame capabilities.
If this army were to be unveiled, Reiju truly felt that no force on the sea would be able to match it.
"Lord Jellal, our Nine Snake Island is already so strong now, why do we still need to develop so many powerful troops?" On the spaceship, Reiju looked at Jellal with a puzzled look in her eyes.
In her mind, Nine Snake Island can now be said to be invincible in the ocean. She feels that the air force of Sky Island seems to have never been used.
So she didn't understand why Nine Snake Island was still vigorously developing weapons and equipment and training powerful forces like the Sky Island Air Force.
"Reiju, we can't just focus on this ocean, and Sky Island's air force was not formed to deal with forces on the ocean." Jellal said calmly while looking at the white sea of clouds.
"Isn't it to deal with the forces on the sea?" Reiju was even more confused.
If it is not intended to deal with the forces on the sea, why should we form such a powerful team?
Reiju's heart was full of doubts and confusion, but she knew that Jellal must have his own ideas and plans.
So she waited quietly for Gerard's explanation.
"Reiju, at night, when you look up at the sky, what can you see?" Jellal guided Reiju and asked softly.
"At night?" Reiju raised her head, thought for a moment, and answered: "Clouds? Moon? Stars?"
Reiju mentioned several things that could be seen in a row.
"Then think about it, since there are all kinds of technologies on the moon, would there be such a situation on other stars?" Gerard continued to ask.
Reiju frowned, thinking about this question seriously.
"Other stars..." she murmured.
It suddenly occurred to Reiju that if the moon already had such advanced technology, then there might be similar or even more advanced civilizations on other planets.
If they really encounter an enemy from outer space, is the current naval force sufficient to deal with it?
When Reiju realized this, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"So, Sky Island's air force was established not only to protect Sky Island, but also to protect the entire world from alien threats?" asked Reiju.
"That's right, Reiju." Jellal nodded, "We can't just limit our sights to this sea, we should look at the entire universe."
"But...how do we deal with those unknown alien creatures?" asked Reiju.
"This is exactly what we need to continue exploring and researching," Gerard said seriously. "We must improve our capabilities and enhance our understanding of the sky and the universe to cope with possible challenges in the future."
After hearing what Jellal said, Reiju felt a great sense of responsibility.
She understood that Sky Island's air force was tasked with defending their homeland, and she must also work hard to improve herself and prepare for future battles.
"I understand, Jellal." Reiju nodded firmly.
Jellal looked at Reiju with a smile, a hint of relief in his eyes.
Space pirates have appeared on the moon, which shows that this universe is a universe of free plunder.
As long as they can solve the problem of not getting lost in space, Sky Island’s air force can be dispatched to various planets in the universe!
It’s just that Judge is not able to develop this positioning system yet.
This was the first time that Jellal told these things to people outside the Nine Snakes Pirates. As Reiju was the only normal one among Judge's children, Jellal was not reluctant to give her a little more trust.
While Gerard and his crew were returning to Nine Snake Island on the spaceship, the navy was also having a discussion about the Nine Snake Island.
A few days ago, due to a warning from Nine Snake Island, the unrest in the New World immediately stopped.
This level of reputation seemed to be out of reach for their navy. Those civilians believed in Nine Snake Island more than they believed in their navy.
"Damn it! What the hell is going on? Why is this happening?" Huang Mu slammed his fist on the table and roared angrily.
Aokiji and Kizaru were both silent, their hearts equally filled with confusion and unwillingness.
"This is the reality. We must admit that the influence of Nine Snake Island is indeed much greater than we imagined." Zhan Guo sighed helplessly, with a hint of bitterness in his voice.
This feeling of frustration and powerlessness made the navy very uncomfortable.
"I have just communicated with the World Government, and they don't want to deal with Nine Snake Island yet." Zhan Guo said, pressing his swollen head.
"Marshal Zhan Guo, what are their reasons?"
"Just by publishing a warning message in the newspaper, the New World, which has been in turmoil for several months, can be stabilized. Doesn't the World Government realize the horror of the Nine Snake Island?" Aramaki asked in confusion.
Zhan Guo shook his head: "They believe that the Nine Snake Island does not directly threaten their interests, and they have other more important things to deal with at the moment."
"Hmph, the World Government is really a group of short-sighted guys." Aokiji snorted coldly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"Then what should we do? We can't just sit there and wait to die, right?" Huang Mu frowned and asked anxiously.
Zhan Guo pondered for a moment and said, "Don't act rashly for now. Pay close attention to the movements of Nine Snake Island. At the same time, strengthen the monitoring of the New World. If there is any sign of trouble, take action immediately."
Everyone nodded in agreement. They knew that now was not the time to be impulsive and they had to remain calm in order to deal with what might happen next.
There are still some things that Zhan Guo has not said. Although the reputation of Nine Snake Island is very high, they have not expanded their influence.
Ever since the Nine Snakes Pirates returned from Raftel, they seem to have settled down, and Jellal and the Empress have not appeared on the sea for nearly seven years.
If it weren't for the fact that the leaders of the Nine Snakes Pirate Group were still very active on the sea, their navy would have suspected that the Nine Snakes Island was about to retreat.
Therefore, the World Government judged that Nine Snake Island did not pose much threat to their rule.
The most important reason is that among the people of Nine Snake Island, no one is from the D clan. This is the fundamental reason why the World Government does not want to target Nine Snake Island!
But, are we really going to leave Nine Snake Island alone?
Zhan Guo was very worried at this moment.
