One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 390: The imminent naval battle (two in one)

With the simultaneous attacks of many great pirates in the New World, the entire South China Sea fell into unprecedented turmoil and chaos, just like the West Sea more than 20 years ago, where ever the pirates went there was war and killing.

Some kingdoms originally thought that the pirates from the New World were only here to plunder and then leave, but no one expected that those pirates would actually occupy their kingdoms!
This caused those kingdoms to resist even more fiercely, but the national power in the South China Sea was already weak, so how could they possibly stop the invasion of those big pirate groups?

Some countries were smart. After knowing that the entire South China Sea was plunged into such chaos, they simply surrendered, changed their flags to pirates, and were willing to pay tribute to the pirates every year, just like the member states paid tribute to the World Government.

This is exactly in line with the goals of the pirate groups in the New World. They don't know how to manage or develop a kingdom. They would rather collect protection fees.

As a result, more and more kingdoms followed this method, reducing many unnecessary sacrifices, and the pirates in the New World were also happy to get treasures without going to war. Naturally, they did not want their pirate groups to sacrifice as a result.

"South China Sea, those damn pirates are attacking South China Sea, and they are planning to occupy the South China Sea permanently. We must not let them succeed!"

"Immediately dispatch the previously prepared combatants to the South China Sea and make sure to drive those pirates out of the South China Sea!"

When many pirate groups from the New World attacked the South China Sea, the Five Elders received intelligence from the South China Sea.

What made them most angry was that those damn pirates actually planned to occupy the South China Sea. This was simply a naked attempt to steal food from the World Government!
Under such circumstances, how could the Five Elders not be angry?
Immediately with an order, the navy, army, members of the World Government, the Seven Warlords of the Sea and others all rushed to the South China Sea at full speed.

Among the many warships, there is one that is the most special, because the main members on it are pirates, or in other words, the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
There are only six Shichibukai now, namely, Doflamingo, the Nightshade; Athel Maclen, the King of the Dark World Warship; Crocodile, the Crocodile; Mihawk, the Hawkeye; and Gekko Moriah.

Among these six, Artel MacLen is the one who ate the mythical beast Yamata-no-Orochi, also known as Li Yuan. Hawkeye and Gaine embarked on different journeys after being together for half a year. In the end, Hawkeye became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea just like in the original work.

"Fffffffffff, it seems that as the Seven Warlords of the Sea, this is the first time we have gathered together. I don't know if there will be a few less people in the upcoming war!"

The six Shichibukai sat around the round table. The atmosphere was exceptionally quiet. It was Doflamingo's classic laughter that broke the eerie silence. Doflamingo was worthy of being the Tenyaksha. He directly taunted him as soon as he opened his mouth.

“Hehehe, you’d better take care of yourself. You’re flying the flag of the Wuji Pirates, and now you’re helping the World Government to deal with the Wuji Pirates. Maybe when Li Yuan sees you, he’ll be the first to kill you with a sword.”

Moonlight Moriah immediately said with disdain.

In his opinion, Doflamingo's behavior is typical fence-sitter behavior, and he is also the type of person he hates the most.

"You are still the same as Kaido's defeated general. You escaped last time, but this time Kaido's mace might kill you in one blow."

Doflamingo is not so stupid as to help the World Government to deal with the Infinite Pirates. There are so many pirate groups in the New World anyway, why should he deal with the Infinite Pirates? Isn't it enough to just go to a densely populated place and do nothing?

"Joker, do you want to die?"

After hearing what Doflamingo said, Gekko Moriah suddenly became angry. After all, that was his shame!

The shadow around him had spread out without him noticing, and almost touched Doflamingo's shadow.

"Clown, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"

Crocodile, who was defeated by Kaido, now looked at Doflamingo with a gloomy face. If the current situation was not wrong, he would have given Doflamingo a desert sword.

"Fufufufufu, if you want to die, I don't mind giving you a ride."

Doflamingo moved his fingers slightly, and instantly cut off the approaching yellow sand and shadow force.

Even though he thinks he is not as good as those great pirates, or even monsters like Esdeath, but as a fellow Shichibukai, he doesn't think he is worse than these losers!

"You can fight me all you want, but don't destroy this warship, or I will throw you all into the sea!"

Just when Doflamingo, Gekko Moriah and Crocodile were on the verge of a fight, Atel Macron looked at them calmly, but the coldness in his eyes was like the vicious eyes of a snake, as if he was staring at its prey, which made Doflamingo and the others very uncomfortable.

"Hahahahaha, you sea trash, if you dare to destroy our navy's warships, I will throw you all into the sea."

"Don't think that your status as a Seven Warlord of the Sea will give you preferential treatment under my fists!"

However, just when several Shichibukai were becoming more arrogant and wanted to take action, Garp walked over with a loud laugh.

"."

All of a sudden, the six Shichibukai present were all nervous. After all, that was the strongest marine, Garp, who had held out for several days under the sword of the strongest man in the world, Li Yuan, before being defeated. That was not the ceiling of combat power that they could reach.

Among the six people, only Hawkeye wanted to try out how Garp's fist could block Li Yuan's sword, but this idea was just a thought. If a fight really broke out here, he might really be thrown into the sea.

"If you don't believe me, you can try it. I haven't hit anyone with my fists for a long time!"

When Garp saw that the Seven Warlords of the Sea were silent, he left immediately. He came here only to intimidate these pirates to prevent these trash from really overturning the warship.

Maybe it was because of Garp's coming to cause trouble that all their previous arrogance was suppressed. Now these Seven Warlords of the Sea have lost their temper and can no longer make trouble.

"Vice Admiral Garp is really amazing. He handled the situation without even having to make a move. He didn't even dare to talk back when I called them trash!"

After Garp returned to another warship, Kuzan came over with a bag of donuts and a playful smile on his face.

Before, Vice Admiral Sengoku wanted to give this glorious task to Aokiji, but Aokiji pushed it to Garp without even thinking about it.

If he really had gone, the warship might have been frozen into an ice sculpture by now. It was because his title as a newly promoted admiral of the navy was not as useful as that of Vice Admiral Garp.

"Hahahahahaha, Kuzan, you're still the right one!"

When Cap saw the donut, he grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Lieutenant General Garp, have you arranged anyone to deal with Li Yuan in this operation?"

Aokiji asked curiously, although the overall commander this time was said to be Sengoku, it was actually the Five Elders and Vice Admiral Tsuru's command, because Sengoku would have to go to the battlefield by then, so how could he have time to command. And the Five Elders and Vice Admiral Tsuru did not tell them about their opponents in this operation. This kind of thing had already been decided, but they just didn't know it.

"Hahahaha, don't worry. I won't let you youngsters deal with Li Yuan when the time comes. You'll just be delivering food if you go."

"When the time comes, someone will naturally hold Li Yuan back, and you can just focus on dealing with the others."

"Also, I remind you, apart from Li Yuan, don't go looking for Golden Lion and White Beard. Those two guys are not easy to deal with."

Cap said while eating a donut.

"Don't worry, Vice Admiral Garp. I won't make myself miserable."

Aokiji knows his own capabilities now, and he won't go looking for a fight with those incredibly powerful pirates for no reason.

"Big news, big news. The great pirate group in the New World is finally not content with just this little territory in the New World. They are going to break out of the New World and occupy the South China Sea. Are they going to turn the South China Sea into another pirate paradise?"

"The World Government and the Navy will launch an all-out attack. In the upcoming war between pirates and the World Government, will the World Government be defeated again like before?"

"A new round of cruel war has begun again in the world. Who will be the winner?"

"The cruel truth about the South China Sea that must be told!"

"."

Li Yuan was on the Hades, looking at the newspapers distributed by the World Economic News with great interest. He had to say that Morgans was becoming more and more unscrupulous.

"Captain, Princess Akame and the others have already occupied most of the territories that belong to our Wuji Pirates."

"According to the previous plan, although we conquered the territory closest to Upside Down Mountain, we did not occupy it and left it vacant."

"Other pirate groups, even the fastest Flying Pirates, still haven't captured one-third of the area."

Keya was reporting to Li Yuan about all the relevant events of the past three days.

Three days have passed since the New World Pirates entered the South China Sea. The Infinite Pirates have swept through all forces and kingdoms with unstoppable force, and no force or kingdom can stop the Infinite Pirates.

The vacant area is where the World Government and the Navy are likely to come next, so there is no need to occupy it now. Just loot the valuables first.

"Since they have completed their mission, let them all move towards Hades. The decisive battle is almost here!"

Li Yuan put down the newspaper and said.

Then he began to call Golden Lion and the others, asking them to speed up the process, or to gather together even if they had not occupied all the territories. The World Government would not give them time to occupy all the territories in the South China Sea!
After receiving Li Yuan's call, other pirate groups also began to rush over.

All members of the Golden Lion Army, except those who were needed to guard the place, rushed over.

After all, they all know that if they cannot defeat the World Government, then the territories occupied in the South China Sea will be completely meaningless and everything will have to be abandoned.

It would be better to use all our strength to defeat the World Government and then completely occupy the territory of the South China Sea.

The Marx Sea is the sea area that connects the South China Sea to the Grand Line. All the fleets of the Wuji Pirates have gathered in this sea area. Three hundred pirate ships are neatly arranged in the sea area, and those gun muzzles pose an endless threat.

The fleets of the World Government and the Navy arrived at the Marx Sea. Warships and ships were coming one after another. At a glance, there were at least six hundred ships, and there were even more fleets coming behind them.

In order to deal with the pirates of the New World, the World Government has invested a huge amount of money this time, and has invested all the strength it has recovered over the years!
The major pirate groups in the New World also arrived at this sea area under the leadership of their respective captains.

Above the Marx Sea, the fleets of the pirates and the World Government are now facing each other with a distance of more than ten nautical miles between them, and neither side has taken the initiative to attack.

There are no islands in this sea area, which means they will have a naval battle this time!

"We must defeat the World Government as quickly as possible. We cannot give them the opportunity to delay. Otherwise, it will be very disadvantageous to us pirates if we delay any further!"

"All fleets of the Wuji Pirates, listen up! Move forward! Once you reach the distance, immediately open fire and destroy all ships ahead!"

Li Yuan said loudly.

As Li Yuan finished speaking, more than 300 ships of the Wuji Pirates immediately set out and advanced straight forward.

“Hahahaha, guys, get your artillery fire ready and show the navy what a destructive cannon falling from the sky is!”

After seeing the Wuji Pirates move, Golden Lion also used his abilities to lead a large fleet to fly towards the navy.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, the war is coming, everyone from the Beasts Pirates, follow me!"

"Gulala, kids, you have to protect yourselves from now on, we'll take action too!"

"Mom, mom, follow me, but don't rush to the front, we are not the main force!"

"Hahahahahaha, I haven't massacred the navy in a long time. This time I'm itching to do it. Come on, everyone!"

"."

After the Wuji Pirates and the Feikong Pirates rushed out first, the remaining pirate groups followed the two major pirate groups and rushed forward!
"Everyone listen up, sail up to meet them immediately. Once you reach the range of the guns, stop and fire. Move on!"

Sengoku's loud voice rang out, and all the ships on the World Government's side also began to move out.

The combined fleets of both sides had more than a thousand ships and more than two million people. Such a large-scale naval battle had never taken place even in the era of Locke. This was the only naval battle of such a large scale in recent decades!
This grand naval battle of Marx is about to break out as the distance between the two sides continues to close!
