Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

Opinions around the world are divided on Raleigh's massacre of pirates.

However, everyone unanimously listed Raleigh as a dangerous figure. On a small island in the Grand Line, a pirate ship with a bright gold and red body was docked at the shore.

Roger and his group were eating meat and drinking on the beach.

Suddenly, Roger's Observation Haki seemed to sense something, and he looked up at the sky.

Whoosh!

Roger picked up a small pebble from the ground and threw it into the air.

嘎．

A seagull wearing a newsboy cap crashed onto the island.

Seeing his captain's perverse sense of humor, Rayleigh, the first mate, covered his forehead.

"Roger, it's not like we're short of money."

Roger walked into Seagull with a grin and took the newspaper out of its satchel.

He proudly showed it off to Rayleigh.

He then opened the newspaper and began to read it, his expression growing increasingly strange as he read, as if he had discovered something incredible.

Then, with a complex expression, he said:

Rayleigh, remember that Marine brat we encountered last time we fought Shiki? The one with the Devil Fruit ability to manipulate wind.

Rayleigh nodded.

There were only a few people there at the time, so of course he remembered them clearly.

"Didn't he kill the Golden Lion?"

"Rayle asked curiously."

Roger handed the newspaper to Rayleigh and said,

"This guy has now declared war on all pirates in the world."

"Arrogant and domineering!"

"We should have killed him back then. Who knew he would grow so fast? I thought he was lazy."

Roger looked like he had been deceived.

Rayleigh's expression was also very complicated, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

He couldn't understand why Raleigh's strength had improved so quickly, and it wasn't just Raleigh.

It seems that the people around him are improving their abilities very quickly.

As the mastermind behind the Roger Pirates, Rayleigh, the Dark King, held the power to exchange information with the outside world.

After the great battle with the Golden Lion, he was forced to fight pirates again.

From then on, both Roger and Raleigh became interested in Raleigh, who had performed the best.

They spent a lot of money collecting all the information about Raleigh.

However, when the information was presented to them, they could hardly believe their eyes.

Because no one would believe that a navy that spends all its time eating, drinking, and having fun could improve its strength so quickly.

If Roger and Rayleigh hadn't personally fought Raleigh, they probably would have thought he was just a rich, good-for-nothing playboy.

"This guy seems to be hiding some big secret!"

However, Roger and Rayleigh had more important things to do at the time.

On the other hand, at that time, Raleigh had not yet shown any intention to exterminate pirates.

Perhaps our strength wasn't sufficient at the time.

However, the attack on Zephyr's family made Rayleigh sense something unusual.

Perhaps, waves will rise again on this vast sea.

Roger pondered for a few minutes with a serious expression, then suddenly changed his demeanor, raised the rum in his hand, and shouted:

"Forget about the Navy and pirates, the Roger Pirates won't get involved. Drink! Drink!!!"

Meanwhile, in another part of the sea, a pirate ship resembling a long-whiskered whale was sailing forward, cutting through the waves.

Their destination was the G5 branch in the New World.

At that moment, a bare-chested, exceptionally strong man stood at the bow of the ship, his brows slightly furrowed.

What immediately catches the eye is his ivory-white beard.

That's right, he is the Whitebeard, who is known as the world's strongest man.

He wasn't in a good mood at the moment.

Just a few days earlier, his beloved son Blenheim had been captured by the G5 navy.

It is said that G5's base commander, Sakazuki, personally intervened.

Standing behind the white-bearded man, the still somewhat immature Marco asked;

"Dad, how did Brother Blenheim get caught?"

Edward the Whitebeard had not yet spoken after hearing Marco's words.

Lakyo and Harta lowered their heads.

He said in a choked voice;

"It's all our fault, we were just too weak."

"G5's navy is hunting down pirates because Zephyr's family was killed by them."

"They are imitating Raleigh in the newspapers, and are building a mound of pirate heads on the island of the G5 branch."

We'd just collected this month's protection money when we ran into them. That G5 branch base leader, Sakazuki, is too powerful. Brother Blenheim was captured while protecting us.

After saying that, the two of them became extremely sad again, and Marco quickly comforted them.

Whitebeard Edward didn't comfort his son; instead, he stared seriously at the distant sea, his eyes narrowed.

"Sakazuki, you magma brat, you'd better not do anything stupid."

If possible, Edward Whitebeard would not want to fight the Navy.

But if they dare harm his son, then Whitebeard will fight tooth and nail to get revenge on Sakazuki.

At that moment, Sakazuki, the leader of the G5 branch base, sat solemnly in his office chair, looking at the guy in front of him who refused to say a word.

"It's no use if you don't tell me; I've already checked your information."

Blenheim, captain of the 9th division of the Whitebeard Pirates, is skilled with a left-handed sword and was one of the earliest captains to join the Whitebeard Pirates.

Oh, according to what you're saying, he should be your father, right?

"Hahahaha, how laughable! Pirates, those trash who only bring destruction to others, actually yearn for families! You don't deserve it!"

Sakazuki's words were filled with murderous intent.

Although he didn't like Zephyr, he was extremely angry that pirates dared to attack and kill marine family members.

Everyone has family, including Sakazuki.

Therefore, whether they are moderates or radicals, they all hate pirates who break these rules to the core.

In the world of One Piece, most people only set their grudges on their opponents, and very few people would lay a hand on the other party's family, especially when the family members are ordinary people. This is why Sakazuki went on a killing spree of pirates after seeing the newspaper.

Of course, it's also related to what Raleigh did in the newspapers.

After seeing what Raleigh did, Sakazuki suddenly felt that a Jingguan (a type of ancient Chinese mound) was a great way to shock pirates, so he followed Raleigh's example and planned to build a Jingguan at the G5 branch.

Bulu Bulu Bulu Bulu. ． ． ．

The Den Den Mushi dialed the number, and it was answered two seconds later.

"Hey, Sakazuki-senpai, what's up?"

At this moment, Raleigh is lying on a sun lounger on the warship, drifting aimlessly on the Grand Line.

Raleigh, it's been a while since I called you. I wanted to ask you something: are you free lately? Would it be convenient for you to come over?

"I caught Whitebeard's son and together we lured that Whitebeard guy out."

support

Sakazuki confidently stated that he had absolute faith in his judgment, as it was a conclusion he had reached after repeated deductions!

"What?!"

puff.

Hearing the voice from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Sakazuki was certain that Raleigh had fallen off the sunchair.

Before Sakazuki could speak, Raleigh's voice came through:

"Dude, what are you doing? That's Edward Newgate the Whitebeard!"

I just understand that you want to avenge Zephyr's wife and that you want to kill pirates.

"But why did you choose to fish for that monster, Whitebeard? Even if we catch him, we can't kill him! We might even get a lecture from him."

Raleigh was reluctant to go.

This matter is completely different from their fight against Shiki the Golden Lion.

One is Edward Whitebeard, whose fighting prowess and physical abilities are at their peak.

The other is Shiki the Golden Lion, who fought Roger, had a ship's rudder stuck in his head, and whose stamina was reduced to less than one-tenth after fighting against natural disasters.

Frankly speaking, even if there were two generals, Whitebeard wouldn't be able to catch him if he wanted to escape.

"It's not just you; I've already reported this to Marshal Kong."

"Admiral Sengoku is coming with Borsalino this time. Admiral Sengoku will lead the attack, and the three of us will take care of the Whitebeard Pirates' captains."

After hearing Sakazuki's explanation, Raleigh felt somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, Sakazuki didn't come up with the idea of ​​two vice admirals fighting one emperor. With Sengoku leading the team, plus three top-tier Logia-type elite vice admirals, they wouldn't be afraid even if the entire Whitebeard Pirates attacked.

Thinking about this, Raleigh decided to take the risk, but he asked curiously;

"Shouldn't we call Kuzan? I feel like his abilities could come in handy."

Sakazuki snorted coldly and said;

"Kuzan is temporarily tied up. It's said that Vice Admiral Garp has discovered Roger's whereabouts again and has taken Kuzan somewhere."

Raleigh nodded; this seemed like something Lieutenant General Garp would do.

Vice Admiral Garp was exceptionally obsessed with Roger; no matter how important the matter, he would put it aside once he discovered Roger.

"It doesn't matter. Even without Vice Admiral Garp and Kuzan, the three of us can still take on Whitebeard, not to mention we have Admiral Sengoku to back us up."

Hearing Sakazuki's confident words, Raleigh's heart surged with excitement.

Yes, even without the great generals of the Warring States period, there are still the three of us.

Who says three elite lieutenant generals can't beat an emperor, especially since they are all lieutenant generals with the potential to become generals?

"Brother Sakazuki, you must hold on! I'm on my way there."

Raleigh ended the call with the Den Den Mushi, summoned his adjutant, and then ordered them to advance toward the G5 branch. Fortunately, their warships weren't too far from the G5 branch to begin with.

Sakazuki's several phone calls mobilized the navy along the Grand Line once again.

On a massive naval warship, Sengoku, dressed in a suit, stood on the deck as he glanced at Borsalino, who was fast asleep in a sun lounger.

Suddenly, his adjutant's eye twitched a few times. He was quite adept at slacking off, and he always had a righteous reason for it.

It's like I did something wrong.

The current Sengoku is somewhat regretful; why didn't he seek out Kuzan or Sakazuki as his adjutants back then?

Although Sakazuki is too radical, in the current situation, being a little radical is not a bad thing. However, Sakazuki chose the G5 branch, which is more conducive to honing his skills, and many people in the Navy admire him for it.

As news of the G5 branch's victories continued to reach headquarters, all the residents of headquarters celebrated and praised Lieutenant General Sakaski's bravery.

"Hey~ How come there's such a big difference between two talented Marines?"

However, thinking about Borsalino's younger brother, Rory, it's possible that they are from the same lineage. Just as everyone was heading to the G5 branch, the Whitebeard Pirates were spotted arriving outside the G5 branch.

Woo! Woo! Woo!

Three loud bugle calls alerted those inside the naval base to prepare for battle.

"Dad, we've been found out, what do we do?"

Marco's childish voice rang out.

Edward the Whitebeard waved his hand dismissively. "So what if they found us? Charge over, smash through their defenses, and rescue Blenheim."

As the white-bearded figure approached the closed port, Sakazuki emerged from his office, accompanied by a bloodied and mangled figure.

Standing on the wall of the G5 branch base, the Marines were on high alert. Although the number of pirates was much smaller than theirs, the opposing side was a monster like Edward Newgate the Whitebeard.

Lieutenant General Sakazuki of our own side is indeed a capable fighter, but he is only a lieutenant general and has not even become an admiral yet.

Soon, Sakazuki appeared at the very front of the fortress wall, quietly waiting for the pirates to arrive.

Edward Whitebeard's ship didn't advance much; its path was blocked by rockets fired by the G5 branch.

The moment he saw the white beard, Sakazuki felt a powerful sense of oppression.

Sakazuki shook his head, trying to clear the thought from his mind. If he wasn't mistaken, Whitebeard had just unleashed a Conqueror's Haki attack on all the Marines.

Many people have already experienced the power of Conqueror's Haki.

Sakazuki remained completely still, as if the Conqueror's Haki was merely a gentle breeze that had no effect on anything.

Seeing Sakazuki's behavior, a hint of surprise flashed in the white-bearded man's eyes, and he said loudly:

No wonder he's already the base leader of the G5 branch at such a young age; he's truly accomplished.

However, to be honest, I came here mainly because of my good-for-nothing son, who I heard was arrested by you.

"Let's discuss it. We can give you intelligence or wealth in exchange for my son's life."

The white-bearded man said in a low voice that he had been drifting on the sea for so long in order to gather some compatible family members, which was why he liked to take in sons.

Upon hearing this, Sakazuki couldn't help but laugh. Then, without saying a word, he lifted Blenheim from the ground like a dead dog.

He looked at Edward the Whitebeard on the board with a mocking expression.

"Whitebeard, enough with the nonsense. Your son, though tortured, is still alive, to be honest."

The white-bearded man's hand clenched and then relaxed.

Having finally arrived here and seeing that his son was still alive, he naturally wouldn't be the first to start a war.

Otherwise, his son would surely die at the hands of the navy in front of him.
